Identity book in Jesus Christ
Northbound has arrived in China for a week, and tomorrow will be the final destination of some of our teams. We have no clue what we doing, but we never do because God is in control. No-one speaks english here besides us, and anonymous people.
So far my Global experience has been amazing to say the least, not only because of my great team members, but most of all it's because of my God in heaven!! We had a prayer morning asking God to really show us what His perfect will for us as a team to do here and did God come through AGAIN or what?? He even gave one of the other teams a revelation on how Joshua threw down the walls of Jericho and that we should preach over this city. Reading Eph 1:17-23 we preached over this city!! This country needs our prayers and I ask that we stand as a body in Christ and preach Eph 1:17-23 over not only this country but your own as well! God has a calling for everyone of us and the biggest and most daring question is, "are you walking in that calling?" everyone is called for something because thats how awesome God is!!
As a team we are working through Acts and we really pray that God is able to release us in all the amazing miracles that He did through the church of Acts and God reveled a few things(personally to me) these past few days, about open doors and our identity in Christ Jesus. God is eager to communicate AND USE ALL OF US the way He created us to be used. Basically if He is living inside you(if you have excepted Christ as your savior) then He is ROARING like a LION waiting for you to be open to His ways and His thoughts! God wants us to say that we are in total submission to Him! But if we do not know our identity in Christ how can we walk in our perfect calling that God has called us into?
That does not only come through loving Christ and spending time with Him but also realizing where you stand in Him -I seriously hope this is making sense to you- if we get angry at small things, then we have an open door in that area, and in that area we do not know our identity in Christ. Our ultimate dream and ambition is to become the person God sees us instead of the person we see ourselves, if we know and constantly speak struggles over our lives then we will never know our identity in Christ in that area. Giving everything away to God and submitting only to our King can He show us the open doors, what we truly struggle with and finding our identity with over coming those struggles can God take us to the next step.
God has a plan for everyone and the greatest saying that I have ever heard really shows that God is prepared to do what ever it takes if you willing to do what ever it takes, the saying is: "What ever God orders He pays for" the best part about this is that God payed is one and only Son, Jesus Christ! This year all of the Global Challengers have given their lives to the Lord, and its up to us too keep on walking forward in that, God looks at our hearts and minds and judges us on what our hearts feel and our minds think, and through that He sees and judges our actions: if you are constantly reading your bible with a sour heart and thinking of other things, then God will not give you break through in any areas.
The past few weeks God has allowed the Holy Spirit to really reveal great revelations not only to me but also the Northbound team. Personally the greatest part of this year is to give it to God and really allow Him to minister in all the areas of my life and I hope that this blog has helped you in your situation as well.
This blog is also written just for everyone to know what God has revealed to me recently!
