This virus I have has made me stay up many many nights. This virus I have has made me so deep where I feel like giving up food, time on the phone with my family, physical touch, and even work. The virus I have has kept me in the recliner crying tears and even speaking in another language. This virus has taken over my whole body, mind, and heart.
Guess what… I am going to spread this virus because everyone needs it at this time in life.
So I’m sure this beginning grabbed your attention. Now I want to tell you why I love this fire I have. I call it JCHSV-247. Jesus Christ Holy Spirit virus – 247. This virus is more contagious than the corona virus.
Being out on the mission field since January God has begun a work in my life. The things I have seen, done, and got to experience have helped me grow and be refined. Being back in the States I brought back along with my whole team this virus. A on fire bars . We were working with the homeless people and prostitutes, painting with drug dealers, and playing with children. I was able to pray with my leader Brittany and her fiancé over a lady and her nephew only to hear him say wow I felt chills that made me search more into Christ. I met children that have to take care of their younger siblings because their parents are never home. I sat across the table with a 13 year old who has diabetes and was very excited to have a gringo with the same disease to share with. These moments do not make me or my team any better or worse than the next person but they allow us to bring back these experiences to invite others to see these things that are not just something you think of its real.
Yes, to the world we were brought back home early due to the carona virus. To my squad and I we got brought back home to America because this is where God needs us at this time in life. God places us where he needs us whether you are a Christian or not. Ephesians 2:8-10. Right now America needs us. America needs to be refined. Yes, the Corona virus is big but this JCHSV-247 is bigger. And when the Corona virus is all dead and gone Christ will still be the one remaining. God has prepared our hearts to come back to America and be the light in this darkness the free must be 8 Galatians 5:6. Satan loves to play and pull cards but when we play out Galatians 56 the devil runs himself ragged goes too far and defeats his own self. We must work against the schemes of the enemy!
Many stories throughout The Bible seem negative but if you finish reading to the end you see the good examples. Moses parting the red sea, Naomi and Ruth, David and Goliath, and Daniel in the lion’s den. All these people had one thing in common, they continued and finished. We have to continue. This virus will be written down in history But so will what God is doing in the midst of this fear. I am not fearful of the Corona virus so it makes it easier for me to speak about throwing fear out the window.
Peace and slowing down is what America needs. Slowing America down so they can see and realize who their true provider is. Jesus Christ. It’s much easier to have faith and peace when you have a deep relationship with Jesus. Put your faith in Christ and he will fight your battles. God called me this month before we got to Peru to dive into the word of the month. The word was/is to “be still and know that I am God.” Did I expect to be quarantined in my house? No, I expected to be with my B squad family in Peru. I live with no expectations during this time while everyone is running around in a fearful state. I’m in the presence of my God! My squad is back to be the light in this dark world. To help refine America. Like I said a virus has taken over my life, my body, over my heart, and my mind. I will die with it whenever it’s my time to go!
My squad and I will speak life into people until it is finished. I pray that you find this virus and become a light in this dark world. Will you ?
