It's amazing the way the Lord puts everything in order, in His timing and in His way. He connects His kingdom so He may be Glorified in the body of Christ. This past weekend in Philadelphia I fell in love with the area in a way I hadn't experienced locally here in Pittsburgh. Not that the need and desire to minister in this area isn't here, but something about it felt like a piece of the prophetic kingdom puzzle was coming together. Taking ministry trips with Regis has become one of my favorite things to do. I am truly blessed. (Insert praise break video from the other day LOL)
The atmosphere there was so honoring, welcoming, and passionate. Apostles Terry and Camina Davis are not only passionate for Christ but passionate for advancing the kingdom, passionate for raising disciples, and passionate for wanting to save as many souls as they can, all while serving their local community faithfully in Jesus name. They are truly cornerstones of Philadelphia.
We split into teams and hit the streets to hand out event fliers the first afternoon. It was still pretty warm there so being outside in the sun felt amazing. Even more amazing was the street ministry. We got to talk to so many people and pray for a few. Friday night was a message on authority and healing. The worship was amazing. I have never experienced anything quite like it. The Holy Spirit was so thick in that room. It was such a blessing and an honor to get to experience something like this in person. Sometimes I am still brought to my knees by the Goodness of God. The opportunities presented to me continue to blow me away. You had my yes Lord, and you always will.
Saturday morning we had a time of prayer and worship. Those times with the ministry team are some of my absolute favorites. Watching the team worship as one, pray as one and come together to praise the Lord, it just does something to my spirit. I'm still struggling to worship or pray the way I feel led, especially in my own church, but when I am out of town, it's like I have this ability to leave fear of man behind and focus solely on the mission set before me. During that worship, Evangelist Deborah and Apostle Camina began laying hands and praying. As they prayed over me, I heard them loud and clear when they said "it's time to let this go, you're better than this" and as they continued praying in the spirit, I felt this surge of confidence rush through me. I felt this heaviness break off of me and I melted onto the floor. There was so much I was still holding onto from the loss of my dad last year. Feelings of guilt, failure, and anger to name a few. Mostly anger with myself. The Lord knew it was time to deal with the roots this weekend and He wasn't done yet. When the Bible says some things only come out with prayer and fasting, it's truth, and I have experienced the freedom a 21 day fast can produce. My mind is blown.
The afternoon was spent eating delicious brunch and an enjoying an extensive deliverance training. Prior to this training I was attacked with nervousness for this Friday's service in Uniontown. The enemy was having a field day all week in my head and I was falling for every thought, hook line and sinker. The difference in me from Friday night to Saturday night was tremendous and undeniable.
That evening we shared another meal and went through the message on trauma. As Kevin was speaking I could feel the Lord doing a work in my spirit. It was like everything that the Lord began that morning during worship at the house, bubbled up, over and out of me during that message. There were things that the Lord dealt with in my heart that had been toxic to my mind, emotions and even body over the last year. I wasn't even trusting God the way I should have been. I talk a good talk but I wasn't truly trusting Him with EVERYTHING the way I should have been. During that service I let go of everything I was holding onto in my mind, everything I was still trying to figure out and everything the enemy was playing "what if" with in my head. I laid it all down and I refuse to pick it back up.
When we returned home, as per the norm, I was scrolling through Facebook and I found a post from Darren Canning, the prophetic painter that provided so much confirmation for us for the wedding. It was such an encouraging message and as soon as I read it, I thought of Regis. I sent it over to him and as he read it, he got chills. Then he looks at me and says "that's what Philly was about, they're the Eagles babe" and I was like huh? He's like the prophetic picture, it's an eagle and the Philly team is the Eagles. Again, I was blown away from the confirmation in the little things that the Lord shows us. Then as per the norm with confirmation, the very next post, was for me, was for my meeting Friday and brought me more comfort and certainty that the Lord is with me in Uniontown this weekend.
Sometimes it's amazing to travel and minister, to make connections, to learn, to grow and to bring that fresh fire back home and spread it like never before. Traveling evangelistic ministry is my calling, it's my honor and it's my passion. I am so blessed to be connected to and to have the opportunity to learn from Apostle Kevin and Amy Riordan. I am honored to have been ordained as an Evangelist under Set Free Ministries. I am humbled and blown away that the Lord would turn my life around the way He has. Get ready Uniontown. Friday's service is just the BEGINNING!
Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Psalms 103:5 - Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Exodus 19:4 - Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
