The past 6 weeks have consisted of two countries multiple flights, taxis, busses, motorbikes, Trans Jogja journeys, Jeepney, ferry and multi-cab rides. Blessings in abundance, amazing people, challenging ministry, victory and freedom, struggles and breakthrough. It has been an intense growing and incredible time seeing God bless and provide in an over abundance in Indonesia too a crazy 118 hour travelling story involving a ferry ride and the story of the mirical snack packet too a challenging but incredible experience in the Philippines. Never doubt that God is a good Father.
INDONESIA
The place, Indonesia in a Muslim nation, with a mosque at every corner and a megaphone reminding us that the city is lost every few hours and that false dead religion has gripped the hearts and minds of the people. But there is HOPE, there is light. We were given the beautiful and incredible blessing of being involved with a Christian school and student church. There are beacons of light in the darkness and God is building up the church. His heart is too uplift, encourage, discipline, reprove, set free, bring breakthrough, to give anointing, bless and purify. His heart is too save the lost and draw his people home by his great love. We are his hands and feet. Things are happening. God is moving don’t miss out, dive in, too all that God has for you, he has plans and things he want too do and he wants us too be apart of it, he need us too be willing and too run too him.
We had a full schedule and as a team were seldom in the same place at the same time, rushing here and there on the back of motor bikes it was an experience of a life time. I experienced Gods provision in a mind blowing way in the way we were blessed with food and clothes and everything we could possibly want or need knowing it is only God and being so utterly grateful and blown away buy all we received. We made some amazing friends and had a blast just enjoying fellowship with our new family in Indonesia We had the opportunity too pray for the multitudes, not really, but close we saw God heart too encourage and set free and saw God touch lives. When we seek God when we have an expectation for God too move and wait on him he shows up. It was beautiful knowing that only God, only the living mighty God could really touch lives the way he did.
For me, i learnt a lot, i lost sight of victory for a few days and i gave up fighting the battle in my mind but it didn’t last long because my God is greater and he loves me. He grabbed me and pulled me up he set my feet on a rock and gave me more victory ,more freedom, all i did was say "Daddy help" and he was there. I learnt more about walking in the authority he has given me and standing firm in my identity which is in him and him alone. My testimony is this we serve a mighty God, who is mighty too save, who is a perfect father and has a heart for the lost.
A 5 day travelling experience... It took 118 hours too get from Jogja too Cebu city in the Philippines. Two planes, three busses, one cab, one motorbike ride with all our backpacks, one 28 hour Ferry ride and a brisk walk. We slept in the most interesting of places and waited around a lot, we where content in all situations and this was only by Gods grace. We lost and later had returned too us our snack packet containing all our safely guarded yummy food we had been blessed with by various people and kept for the day long Ferry ride. It was temporarily gone forever, but God... it was returned too us before we left the harbour. A bag full of sweets in a 3rd world country. The Ferry ride was a beautiful time of rest and sleep, and a constant incredible view of the islands of the Philippines.
THE PHILIPPINES
Evangelism, crusades and house visits. The Philippines was a blessing by the end i had
The following realisations. God is bigger than my inadequacies, than systems and ways of doing things. We are subject to authorities but in doing what we are told we must ask God what he wants us to do and be obedient in. This must be a daily thing. God can change your heart. It is and always will be our choice to engage and make ourselves willing and available too be used by God. He wants to use us. We are a results driven generation but we are called to walk by faith, out come must not affect our emotions or how successful we think something went, only God dose the work and only he truly sees what goes on in each person’s heart. We can trust that in our following hard after him if our eyes are gazing upon him and everything we do flows out of that then we can trust that he is at work, which he is and lives are being changed. He wants too work in your life and through that he wants you to be a light too those around you.
Just another month on Global. What an adventure my father is taking me on and the best part is that i know that he is with me every step of the way.
