We finally made it back to the States after 2 very long flights. Being back in the States is weird. This is not the America that I left. I am not returning home. I am returning to a place full of chaos, panic, isolation, and fear.
My coach Doug started our squad’s debrief with an amazing devotional telling us about a missionary John G. Lake. Lake was known as a Man of Healing for his time in Africa during the outbreak of the Bubonic Plague. Scientists began to study fluids infected with the Bubonic Plague under the microscope all the while Lake was healing people. Then, the scientists put the same fluid they were studying in Lake’s hand, examined it under the microscope, and could not see the virus. Lake was holding one of the most deadly viruses this world has ever seen and made it disappear. This is the power of God and the fact that John G. Lake was walking in the Spirit of Life.
Romans 8:2 says, “The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.” (MSG)
The past 2 months I have had this feeling that something bad was going to happen to our squad. Satan was personally attacking many of us, but even as those things came and went I still had this uneasy feeling. I started preparing my teammates and myself for this by teaching them about the armor of God.
When we choose to walk in the Spirit of Life, death cannot touch us. Satan is attacking the world right now. He is isolating us into fear and making us believe that we have no power of the situation. He wants us to believe that the world is falling apart.
So how do we walk in the Spirit of Life:
- Go to the source, what does the Bible say? Luke 9: 1-2 says, “ When Jesus had called the 12 together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” We all have the same spirit Jesus had in Him as He performed miracles. YOU can perform healings, YOU have the power to SAVE.
- Pray. Even in isolation and quarantine, you can make a difference. Pray for the world, the people affected, the nurses and doctors, the government. Anything and everything. God hears our cries.
- Don’t give in to a spirit of fear. It is ok to be scared, but don’t let that rule your life. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God does not give us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and a sound mind.”
- Worship. When you start feeling doubtful, raise a halleluiah. When we do this with everything inside of us, the darkness will flee. When we do this in the middle of the mystery, fear will loose its hold on the world and us. Remember, our melody is a weapon and the louder we sing, the more powerful it becomes. Heaven will come fight for us! Watch this video and see how worshipping saved a little boy. I encourage you to really listen to these words and surrender yourself as you sing them.
God is bringing over 600 missionaries home to the states. This revelation has become a movement within the AIM and G42 community. A revival is about to take place in the United States. God has been preparing us for this moment to walk in the Spirit of Life and to empower others to turn from their fear. WE CAN DO THIS. Lets come together and show the world how to become warriors of God and defeat this pandemic.
