Hey! So, as our departure date(s) draw near I have really felt led into a time of prayer and fasting.
I have felt like there is a season of change ahead of us, which, seems obvious as we are embarking on our journey in about 20 days, but I feel like this change is bigger than us and the World Race. I feel like the Lord is doing something different and the church is going to start looking a bit different. Of course I haven’t any idea what any of this looks like or really means, but I know that it is good.
Our Father wants to use us in this world. He wants to move mountains through our faith, heal bodies through our hands and heal hearts through our embrace, but in order to do so, He needs a willing and ready body. He needs a people who hear and heed to His voice. Who, when they hear Him say, “this way,” don’t question. Or when He says “lay your hands on that person” we don’t even think to worry about other people’s opinions. He wants our focus and our dedication.
And that’s what I want too. I am done worrying about popular opinion or looking foolish. I want to please my Daddy. I want to be a clean and unhindered vessel for His Spirit to move throughout. I don’t care if I understand or not, or if it makes sense or is logical…I just don’t want to miss out on seeing my Father move.
So, all that said, I feel like He’s calling me to a three day fast into September (this Saturday night to Tuesday night) and I felt the urge to ask you, my new family, to come along side me.
What you fast is, of course, between you and your Father, and an all food fast is not the only option.
This is exciting you guys! Only 20 more days…fewer for some of you!
See you soon!
