Who knew that you could learn so much in one week that it would be a turning point for the rest your life. In seven days I would come to find out that I no longer knew the God I’ve come to love over the last twelve years. Only a second in 168 hours can forever define your eternity and in that moment you realize everything you once believed was foolish.
Let me fill you in on this specific moment. World Race training camp is one week where racers gather from all around to prepare for their 11 month journey or so I thought. I figured I would make great friendships with my teammates, eat strange food and sleep on ground for a week. Before coming to training camp I was starving for God’s attention. I was so tired of hearing about His power, His amazing healing, and His Holy Spirit capturing the hearts of many. I’ve read over and over His disciples walking in great faith doing abundant miracles and praying over the sick. Why couldn’t I do that? I believed God wanted to use me. I believed He could use all people for healing but why haven’t I seen these works being done in my life? God didn’t seem like reality or alive in my everyday life. Where was he?
Well if there is anything you get from reading this blog I hope you understand one thing. When you come starving for God to show up and open up your heart completely surrendering everything you “know” about him. He’ll come and when He does.. His kingdom comes crashing down leaving you beautiful broken.
It was a spiritual warfare in my heart. God broke down the barriers separating us. He spoke over me with great authority that I was His beloved. I am His little girl with a warrior’s soul and with my obedience, he will bring his kingdom through every word I speak and my hands to do His mighty works. With that declaration, I moved. I got up out of my seat and began to lay hands on my fellow teammates and pray. Not just pray sweet words but furious prayers fighting on their behalf. Prayers, tears, and yelling for their extraordinary healing, their soul, and for God’s protection. In those moments, miraculous things started to happen. I witnessed my teammate have restored hearing. Jacob relied on hearing aids since he was 5 years old. Racers surrounded him and laid hands over him and prayed. We prayed for what seemed hours. We belted out our heart cries to the Lord. I made declarations and praises for God was going to do for my teammate and oh how God showed up. Jacob got his hearing that night! Two of my teammates were healed from Celiac disease. At the start of the week if they ate gluten they would have severe stomach pain. After we gathered and spoke healing over their disease, they were eating bread like nothing was wrong the very next day!! God’s love overwhelmed my spirit. I was walking out in boldness and he was revealing himself in ways I never knew could happen for me. These were just some of the amazing things I began to see happen. They shook and shattered every lie I had put God in. All this time I have been putting limits on what God could do and all along I just didn’t have the faith to see it done. God lifted the veil over my eyes and spoke confidence to me. I should no longer be satisfied with being a comfortable Christian.
I say with complete boldness. I am not a Christian anymore. I am crazy radically in love with my God. I refuse to go on any longer being lukewarm, ordinary, and apathetic to God’s greatness! He is ALIVE! He is so alive and alive in me! God wants to use me in HUGE ways over the next 11 months. I believe in Him and His kingdom will be crashing down all around His nations!
