Deuteronomy 28:1-3
“If you fully obeyed the Lord your God an carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and acompany you if you obey the Lord your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in he country.”

The last two days I have been praying for God to make a breakthrough in Samaritana for these women. Asking Him to free them from everything their guilt their shame EVERYTHING!!! Thursday we as a team were asked to help out in an orientation over STD’s I was stunned I guess you could say. I had know idea what God was up to, but knew it was going to be pretty awesome whatever it was! We did a play for the group of women at Samaritana and talked about STD’s towards the end and had the women do an exercise of drawing a box and writing in the box of everything that they wanted to leave at the cross for Jesus.
I remember last Friday pretty clearly and how one woman named Emily stood up and was ready to put everything at the cross for our God. She took some major humility but stepped out of faith and went up and put it down. She was a HUGE example of being a leader that day because several other women decided to stand up and put their sin at the cross also. My two teammates and I were standing in the back of the room waiting patiently to see if anyone wanted individual prayer. Emily walked straight in the back and came up to me and asked me to pray over her. I thought “okay God I am being still and I am listening to you and want this to be all about you.” I asked him “What do you want me to pray? God did something so amazing that day. Not only did he free many women that day but He freed Emily. I prayed over her and as I put my arms around her God revealed everything to me. Her feeling of guilt and her feeling of shame I just held her and I asked God to break all of it and started to pretend I was ripping it down from her and throwing it at the bottom of the cross as I started to pray that she started to weep in my arms. God has softened my heart in the last few years and my heart felt a sense of peace and joy at the end when I was holding Emily and I started to cry of God’s joy that was on her. God once again answered another one of my prayers here in the Philippines of freeing these women. So I lift up the Lord right now and say thank you mighty God you are our Abba Father and are the mightiest of ALL. . . . .
