So. We are here in Cornesti, Moldova! We traveled from Ireland to here by way of plane for 3 hours to Budapest, Hungary. Then we took a train to Bucharest, Romania for 16 hours. Another train to Chisinau, Moldova for 13 hours. Finally, a van driven by our contact for 2 hours to make to the beautiful town of Cornesti!
Plantification – a word our contact made up about planning.
“He plantificated for our day off”
Lubrication – when anointing is translated from Romanian to English on the internet, it is lubrication. So on our schedule, he wants a revival, awakening, and anointing
I have too much to let you guys in on it’s ridiculous!
First things first, we spent a week in Clondalkin, Ireland for our awakening conference!!! There’s only one word that can express my experience there….. AWAKENING!! I had been carrying a burden that was not my burden to begin with and i could not let go of it, i tried to pray it off, i tried to praise it off, and i tried to lay it off on my brothers.. for 3 days! I couldn’t get it off of me. I had known how to do it the whole time though, so finally last night i said “OK God you win, i can’t do this on my own i’m takin it to who you’ve told me to take it to.” and i did and guess what. I’m FREE!!!! That’s the Awakening in a wrap. and Jonathan David and Melissa Helser are insane people who know how bring God’s presence.
And that brings us toooooo Cornesti, Moldova!!!!! I really want to speak about this because this place needs the prayers that I know God has placed in YOUR heart! This is the only church in Cornesti and there about 25 people in the church. It is in the center of the town which the enemy has had a strong grip on for a long time. This church is the first of many victories to come! However, the church is under a lot of attack. One woman who is a part of the church cannot come to services because her husband will beat her and has threatened to kill her if she comes to another. Our contact, Vitali(which means life by the way) runs a shelter for orphans and kids whose parents can’t take care of them. The person who he bought his building for the church from wants more money now is trying to cause problems. One of the boys who i’ve started to build a relationship with, Vicu, has cancer, one leg, and according to the doctors could possible die from it in two months. My God tells me different, this son of His will have everlasting life, a joy that no one can take, a love that can only come from the heart of God Himself. Vicu is going to have that heart pounding in his chest in Jesus’ name!
Sorry if this is a quick-and-to-the-point blog but it’s a little late here and i’ve had a lot to go through to let you guys know!
One more for now though, we got here on Wednesday the 8th, and i preached on the night of wednesday the 8th! haha it was crazy, God had given me a word/vision for His church that day though all i had to do was talk about how His plans don’t match up with what we see and that’s alright because in the end, what God has promised is what comes to pass.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,
And
He delights in his way.
24
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the
LORD upholds him with His hand.” Psalm 37:23,24
When a father walks with their child and they’re holding their hand, when the child stumbles he or she starts to fall and the Father holds his child up with his hand. Not only that, they keep going in the same direction no matter how many times that child stumbles, the father and the child stay on that same straight path.
So the word/vision was this: the town of Cornesti is in the middle of a forest. Not just a forest but it’s basically the national treasure of Moldova. When Vitali was explaining this to me, i was looking at the forest and God started telling me that this is what He wants His church in Cornesti to be like. A national treasure of Moldova, with trees that have been there for who knows how long and will be there for who knows how long. With some of the most fresh, pure air you will ever breathe. Each person in the church is a tree, they will plant seeds and the people of Cornesti will build a forest which will never be moved! Vitali has just begun to uproot strongholds in this city and is starting to plant seeds that will take root in Jesus Christ.
