live it


The Lord also spoke to me about freedom. And Love and how we need to pursue Him as a relationship just as you would a marrage. To the same level and degree. And He was a delight to me during this time and know that my outreach is not over. That where ever the Lord leads me I am to preach the gospel, to lay hands on poeople and heal the sick and set the captives free. We are commissioned to do this.

Outreach also showed me many great practical lessons. Lessons of discerment in the spirit. And showing me also that it sounds so easy here in Africa but when I was standing in the field hearing the gospel preached and seeing some of the people mocking us or making fun of us, or seeing how drunck some were or seeing how some refused to belive. And others hearts were so open and innocent. And how it still took currage to get up and share about God or my tesemony or to lay my hands on somebody. It is not this majic land where every thing is easy. You still have to choose to walk it out. To take steps of faith wheather in America or on amother continent.

I also saw how we are called to preach the gospel to all the world but it also says preach the gospel to the poor. And I look at my life and see I have not been reaching out to the poor. Some read that as poor in spirit and other read that as poor in this world. Myabe God is speacking to you as to where He has plans for by how you percive it. But I find myself asking how can I reach out to the poor. And not as thought I am keeping myself safe and bundled up but experenceing some of there lives and befriending the poor. Walking along side them, getting my hands dirty. Getting freustarighted cause I don’t unerstand therir life or way of thinking or desciion making. But standing amonst them. That is what I feel we did some what here, even though we probably eatt better and slept better and etc.ect. we were able to spend some signifigant time with them and sit with them. I pray I can contiue this walk when I am placed in a different inviorment. And does your courage grow when youa re outside your home land, I don’t know maybe a little bit, but really I see that I need to be lovesick, and when you are so focued on Chirst that nothing eles matters you first off have emense joy ( atleast he gives that to me) and then sencond you are so wrapped up in him anything eles seems easy or pointless. Your security and confidence in Him and overflowing because you know you are loved and you are inLove with the creator of the universe. These are all just little emotions you can scrap off your shoulder and pay no attention to or chose to give them marret . So this is me trying ot describe some of the things I have experienced here in Africa.
