Today we went and visited one of the communities that lives in poverty. It was so heartbreaking to see small children living this way. The babies all had chicken pox. The parents faces held looks of gratitude for our visit but you could see the underlining despair in their eyes. We visit for a morning and bless them with food and gifts but we get to leave. They are forced to stay there, day in and day out. The children were so happy. We handed out bags of food and prayed with many people. I prayed for a lady who had a young baby and she had been dealing with a lot of pain in her reproductive organs. We prayed for all pain to leave her and she immediately felt the Lord touch her. She felt “caliente” and the pain was gone. There were many who were freed from pain and demonic oppression. There was one lady who was being visited in the night and raped by demons. Kevin prayed over her and she received the freedom that she desperately needed. It’s amazing to be able to help a group of people in this way. What I can’t stop thinking about though, is that there are needs like this in America too. We have neighborhoods that no one goes into. We have groups of people we turn our heads away from and avoid. Jesus would never turn his back on those people. Neither should we. Don’t think that you can’t make a difference because you’ve never gone on a mission trip. Don’t wait to pray for people. Touch the people you can in your own neighborhoods.
Is Jesus enough for you? What if we never arrive? What if like Moses you wander in the desert for years only to have the Joshua generation be the one to enter the promised land? The land that was originally promised to Abraham 42 generations prior. 42 generations it took to fulfill that promise. What if you’re generation 37, or 16, or 5 or 41. What if your family is this close to the breakthrough of the promised land that you’ve been praying for, and you give up now? What if you take the bait of the enemy and quit before you reach the finish line? Or worse yet, you give up, erase the efforts of every generation before you, and your kids or grandkids never meet Jesus at all. This is your reminder…don’t fall for it. Same evil tactics different worldly package. All designed to kill, steal and destroy. Satan doesn’t have to take your life if he can take your peace, wrap you in groundhog’s days, and have you spread that woe is me, lack of joy under a “Christian” label, like...
