1 Thessalonians 5:24 - Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.....
God is faithful. Even when I am faithless, He remains faithful (2 Tim. 2:13). Being faithful is part of His character and He cannot deny His characteristics....I am constantly amazed at God! He always meets me right where I am at. Regardless of my attitude and emotions, He continues to hammer His love into me! In the toughest of times it is His goodness that breaks through....He is always good!!!!
Our time in Harpenden/London is dwindling down! Only 5 more days until we hop on the train to head into Wales. The Circuit Rider school has been amazing so far! Our times of worship have been explosive, and the teaching sessions have brought such freedom to us. We went out for a couple hours of street evangelism this past week and they were very fruitful. Within two days we had testimonies of 40+ salvations and a handful of people received healing in the streets! The harvest is definitely ripe! We encounter many rejections from people, but God always seems to lead us to the ones who are ready to embrace Jesus. I’ll share two quick stories with you....
Myself and my small group leader, Andy, encountered a young guy and girl who were around 18. They were so open to hear the gospel! The Lord began to pinpoint to us some past hurt and disappointment in the girl’s life. As we shared what the Lord was speaking to us, she said she was getting goosebumps and that everything we said was spot on! To make a long story short, both of them gave their lives to the Lord!
One afternoon while we were on the streets, the Lord led me to a man who claimed to be muslim. I went and sat down beside him on a bench and just began having a conversation with him, which eventually led into me preaching the gospel to him. At first he kept saying that God doesn’t love him and that Jesus wasn’t really crucified. (He had some wild opinions). After we talked for about 15 minutes I asked if I could pray for him before I had to go. He let me pray over him, and the Lord began to show me some specific things about his past so I prayed them out and began to break the lies the enemy had been speaking over his life. After I prayed for him, he said “Jesus loves me”!!!!! He didn’t pray a prayer of salvation but he encountered the love of God and many seeds were planted in his heart.
I am so excited for the rest of our time here in Harpenden/London, but am equally if not more excited to go to Wales! I was thinking this morning about our teams journey through prayer during our time in Kona for our outreach. We had a prophetic journey that led us to Wales. My excitement is growing! I began to get stirred up in my spirit this morning as I sat and thought about all the amazing ways God spoke to our team through dreams, visions and intercession. It blows my mind to think that the Creator of the universe speaks and listens to us! We get to partner with Him! I can’t wait to see all that happens over these next 2 months!!!!!!!
