Over the past 4 weeks I have become so overwhelmed and
overcome by the love, supremacy, and power of God. I feel so blessed to be in
this place of abiding in Him and resting in His goodness. Every day when I wake
up I realize just how blessed I am to be His daughter. His love for us is
unfathomable. His power is infinite. He alone is worthy to be praised.
Three days
ago while in the bush, I was able to pray for a man who wasn’t able to see and
he received his sight through the healing power of Jesus. He had been sent by his wife
to come to us because she believed he would receive his sight when the Christians prayed for him. The faith here
is incredible and healings are just the ordinary. Almost everyone I’ve prayed
for to be healed whether it be broken noses, hurt backs, stomach problems, or
headaches has been healed. The supernatural is the ordinary here. Daily we see
Muslims coming to Jesus and witchcraft being broken off of families.
But what I’ve been learning most and valuing above all my
experiences is the love of the Father. The miracles are just an expression of
his love for us. They mean nothing if they can’t demonstrate the character of
His heart. I highly value and have been blessed by all the amazing speakers I’ve
heard, but they are only small drops in an ocean of who He is. It’s him I want. My favorite times here have
been hiding underneath the shadow of His wings. In my quiet times with Him, He
has taught me who I am and what it means to be in love. It’s His love that sustains us. It’s never
knowledge. You can know all you want to know about God but until you know Him
you’ve missed the point. I’ve learned it’s not where you go that will determine the
amount you will discover God, but the amount of desire you have to discover
Him. If you desire to know Him He will find you and meet you wherever you are. You don’t have to be in Africa or listening to amazing teachers to
experience Him. You only have to be
seeking Him. He is a faithful God and yearns to bless you. If you turn your
face towards Him He is more than ready to meet you and bless you in this
moment. Thanks everyone for the prayers of protection and love you are sending my way. I really feel overwhelmed with gratitude for my community at home. Love you all!
How precious is your unfailing love! Both high and low among
men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of
your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is
the fountain of life; in your light we see light. –Psalm 36:7-9
