During the last 42 days I experienced so much of God, Words can't even begin to explain the goodness of our God.
For Mexico I was holding on to the promise that God gave us earlier in the year. Promising that He will provide a host for us and a place where we can serve and walk in His will. Now keep in mind that we are on a $2 budget for central America for everything!! This means trusting God not 98% not 99.99% but 110%. This was the decision I made to trust God, with everything completely. So let me just quickly tell you how Jesus provided for us in miraculous ways, because He is God and holds the whole existance in the palm of his hand He knows exactly what we need before we even need to say a word. Landing in Mexico, Jesus was already there and our Man of peace basically waited for us at the immigration desk to stamp our passports and welcoming us home for the next 2 weeks. Jesus even organized the church for us where we could serve and meet with the people who we had divine appointments with. Healing and youth were 2 of the main things Jesus placed on our hearts for Mexico. I saw the power of the Holy Spirit move and bring healing not only physically and spiritually but emotionally too. Peoples hearts where changed and touched by God.
The next step of trusting God for me was with our Luke 10 journey which means going out with nothing and having to travel 1800km. I choose to give this journey to God and once again trust Him for my every need. This is such a easy decision to make. Surrender everything to God and by doing so I am spirit led to be taken where He wants me and to do what he wants me to do. Out of this doing comes so much joy and peace. I learned that looking at this journey with my spiritual eyes, I can see God move and I could see to the finest detail how he prepared this journey and the purpose He had with everything. It's so easy to look at a Luke 10 with worldly eyes but what does it bring you? Stress and disobedience towards God and His plan because I would want to take the easy way out instead of doing what God wants me to do. Missing out on the divine appointments. There is just No joy in that. Having eyes of faith not only brings peace to my soul but it also brings so much joy to God.
One of our divine appointments was on day one. We waited for 3 1/2 hours for a lift, we had peace about waiting because we knew that God is sending us someone who He wants us to minister to. This is what is important to God for us to listen to His voice and to obey Him. Getting a lift with our man of peace we did exactly what God ask of us. I look at this with eyes of faith, we had to wait for this man because God wants to reveal Himself to him.
Another divine appointment was with a family who just lost a family member. God used us to be a comfort to this family and to support them with prayer. God send us there in the mist of their pain to show them His love.
Next stop costa Rica, where? I don't know but God knew. So we called this journey Genesis 12 - it was a travel challenge where we had to hitchhike through five countries in five days with the advice "meeting somewhere in Costa Rica after five days". Lifts came easy and God made a way for me to see His hand in all of this. 2 days before we had to be in Costa Rica Jesus showed to us the "land where He is taking us"... that was our host who is a pastor and a great man of peace who listened to God's voice and knew to say YES when he was asked to host a missionary team from SA and Germany.
In all of this I realized this one important thing: In every situation I can choose if I want to approach a situation, looking at it with my worldly eyes - making a decision out of what the circumstances and my logic are saying; maybe its a lack of money or time or sleep or talent. Or am I making the decision to look with my eyes of faith? Thia means trusting Gods promises; trusting that He has a plan and that He is the source of everything and that He is good !?
That's it!
This is a choice we all have to make daily!
So: In which reality do YOU choose to live?
