My life is a classic novel.
I know the key events of the plot, and I know in the end that the righteous Prince wins...
However, the details which used to be meaningless are now become the essential unknowns.
I'm reading to find out the what is happening in the intricately woven story to only find that the pages are tattered, ripped, and faded.
I'm trying to read the words, and I know they are there, yet my mind can't take them in.
I try to skip around in sheer frustration to only find myself more confused.
Tuesday I threw the book out the window and sunk into the unknown - to find faith.
The Lord washed me with the truth of His Word as a dear sister prayed Revelation 22:10-21 over me. Verses 12 & 13 drenched me like the morning mist. "Behold I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end"
Beloved of Christ, as we seek Him, we find Him. As we find Him, we love Him.
This makes the wilderness worth it to know He will be found, and we will only have a greater reason to love Him.
God has been incredibly faithful in this journey of prayer. Here are a few testimonies from the last few weeks
-Last month I was 650 dollars short for my payment. In frustration I was praying confused as to why the God was still calling me to intercessory missions without providing. Just in that moment I got an email from my dad explaining how he was filing taxes and felt that he should give me the money that he gets from claiming me as dependent. He then explained it was a total of 650 dollars, and he just sent it in the mail. GOD PROVIDES!!!
-One day when I was in the prayer chapel a girl came in for the first time. I felt the Father's heart for her and decided to pray about a few specific issues that He revealed to me. As I prayed she began to weep. In that moment God released her from the bondage of sin and shame that she had been harboring. The weeping was replaced with joy as God confirmed His hand in he life.
-Students have encounter the love of God through prayer for the first time. There is something so sweet about knowing that the Spirit is moving in this campus making Jesus as their first love.
-I have over heard conversations about students waking up in the middle of the night/not being able to sleep and having the random urge to pray. (hehehehe I've been praying for people to be called to the nightwatch- being pray warriors of the night time)
-Today in Chapel we had a speaker just proclaim the truth of intimacy with Christ and the love of the Father. After there were students lingering in the auditorium, a few friends and myself then began to walk around the chapel and pray for people. It was an answer to prayer to hear a message like this, and to be able to act out on this love.
-I found out I did not get a position I applied for at a church to be the Senior High Intern, but in a matter of 24 hour God provided a new summer opportunity. I will be going with Exodus Cry (an anti-trafficking ministry) to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil (where my mother and her entire side of the family resides) to be apart of their Liberdade Initiative. I will be helping in the house of prayer, and potentially in ministry to the exploited.
Personally, I have been learning how sweet the fellowship with the Triune God is. When I crumble before His presence I feel most myself. I am completely broken, yet His grace makes me walk in the light of His truth. As I walk in the Spirit there I find the hope, peace, and joy my heart has always longed for. His perfect love casts out every fear.
Much love, joy, peace, and righteousness in the Holy Spirit to you
