Its funny how you can keep pushing junk down, but one day you can’t do it anymore.
It started when I was in Nepal, and we took the day to pray for people who were praising the God of destruction.
Our point for the day was to see what the Holy Spirit was doing and pray for people we felt lead to.
During that time we stopped in the middle of the street and started singing break every chain.
Two things at this time happened.
People kept stopping and listening, and than when we started preaching about Jesus most would walk away.
During this time a certain wave hit me, a wave of “am I even hearing God?”
Was my team partnering with the Holy Spirit?
Should we keep doing this or should we stop and go back?
We decided to move forward singing and preaching the love of God.
Yet again, same result.
People walked away and didn’t want to listen.
By this time, my team and I were feeling heavy.
Should we keep going or go back?
That’s when we decided to push through and keep going.
By the third time, we got really passionate and kept moving with where we felt the Holy Spirit moving.
Than it happened, that person who wanted us to pray for his knee.
We prayed and he got healed!
Than people started asking questions and wantinEd to know more about Jesus.
During that time, my team could have decided to turn back, become frustrated, and try to figure out why God didn’t show up.
But instead we pushed through, and God showed us just how big he is, in his timing.
South Africa has been the same way.
Each day we live by faith, trusting God he will provide contacts for us and ministry.
Some days we have successful days, some days we don’t.
But each day my team has the choice to believe God is still moving or get frustrated and say he isn’t showing up or start questioning what he is doing.
But also as were growing to trust God with our ministry, were also trusting him in our learning.
No matter where you are or what your doing, you have the choice to believe God is moving and growing you, or you can hide and not take that leap of faith.
When we step out and have faith that God is moving in our everyday life, we’re growing.
Were saying even if we can’t see what he is doing, we trust that our ministry will impact those around us.
I have learned over these last 3 months that even if we don’t see what God is doing,
if we have faith that he is moving, than he can use us.
If it’s a simple prayer walk or youth group or worship leading or our job
If we show gods love, we can trust that his word and ministry is at work.
We can choose to keep going and growing even when we don’t see the finish line
or choose to hide and not fight for the end result.
We can choose at those moments to give up on our ministry or really let God have our faith and show us what he can do when we allow him too.
When you step out in faith, your growing and saying yes to God’s will.
When You let go, that allows God to have total control in your life and ministry.
When the time gets tough, we can hide in our fear or we can over come and grow in God’s love.
Month 3 on the race is showing my team what it really means to have faith God is working even if we don’t get to see the end result.
And at the same time were growing because we keep saying yes even when we don’t know what God is doing.
Were living in faith, not fear.
And each day were growing and not hiding.
Please remember I am still fundraising.
My next dead line is in 2 weeks, and I need 1,300 dollars.
This is a time to step out in faith if God is telling you and partner with what the Holy Spirit is doing on the world race with me and my team.
We are changing lIves as our own lives are changing.
Will you partner with me and keep me going?
Thank you and God bless,
Sareece
