This has been an intense, yet gratifying week.
We've been working in Cornesti. All comforts have been stripped away and we've come to the realization that Jesus is ENOUGH. Simply said. This isn't always an easy process though.
There is some intense spiritual warfare that we walk battling each day, that of standing against the edge of darkness, and seeking to jump, leap, dive into a love that’s more fierce than anything. To fight for a freedom that’s so deeply invested in the word and truth. To carry each others burdens. To walk in radiance because the light is within us. And knowing that darkness cannot defeat the light and wherever the light goes, darkness has no hold over.
We NEED your prayers and are SO thankful that you're fighting for us and for the light to bring forth truth in the dark places.
This past weekend we've been back in Chisnau, the capital welcoming U-SQUAD into their LAST month on the Race. They got in from a 12 hour train rides from Ukraine. We've been learning from, praying for and worshipping with them this weekend. There is such a Unity and the presence of God in this place, its been incredible to have a sense of renewal and power thats ready to be put back into the field.
One of the girls from U.SQUAD said that the Lord’s love is like an ocean. One that we could choose to snorkel or scuba dive into. Sometimes we stay near the surface to see the beautiful things all around, but God is asking us to go DEEPER. So deep that we can’t contain ourselves. So deep that we’re scuba diving, because we can’t rely on our own air. We have to rely on something MUCH greater than ourselves. We have to rely on a love that reaches to the heavens. We have to rely on a God who’s much greater than the problems that we’ve faced before. We have to give our problems and fears over to the one that calms the seas and raises the sun in the sky with his words. We have to swim farther down and embark on greater adventures and let the Lord reveal things to us that will BLOW OUR MINDS. We have to keep swimming.
Go deeper.
thats my challenge to you
Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.– Ephesians 3:20
(thanks for this encouraging verse Preacher Mike!)
