| A Destiny in Mozambique, Africa. Going to Africa, Mozambique was a life changing encounter with the lord. I really never have been in a place were the lord broke my heart for every child or person I would meet. Before my arrival to Africa I had a dream more then once I was preaching to the children there in Africa Matthew 7; 9-12 9"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. I was so excited to go to Africa I was sent with many blessings prophesies about raising the dead etc. Before I went to Africa I was prophesied about raising the dead 4 times. So my expectations and faith were pretty much high on what the lord was going to do. I was focused nothing can stand in my way now. As I arrived into the orphanage of Mozambique I wanted to cry already because the children were running up to the vehicle with huge smiles on there faces with so much hope. I kept on asking the lord to use me for his glory. I kept on searching. The first day of street ministry, was on children's day a great day for children when people bring gifts and donations so its almost like Christmas to them. So our plan was to look for children on the street and bring them to the park to do praise and worship and encourage them. Well most kids didn't want to go. So as we were searching we ran into this one blind man begging for money on the streets, sitting on the side walk. So we finally arrived at the park. Praise and worship began. The worship was amazing, They didn't have any instruments just there voice and hands and body. However once it began the worship was intensely beautiful. I really didn't know what to expect at this moment. Towards the end of the service, we got to pray for the blind man. We brought him out towards the sun. We began to pray. I felt the Lords presence really strong. He said that there was improvement but not all the way. Well time was ticking and we had to pray for others as well. However I was getting frustrated I wanted to see complete healing. Then that s when the lord spoke to me. He said I don't want people to only be stirred up by miracles I want them to feel my presence. So I was like ok lord "I agree" so as we began to pray for people on the streets the thing that surprised me the most is that they would all come up running and asking for things from God but when we asked them if they were saved most of them said no. Two people were saved that night and one set free from going to a witch doctor. He asked to be delivered from demons. He even asked us to give him money to go back to the witch doctor so he can get the curse off of him. So we witnessed about Jesus and he said the salvation prayer. Nothing seemed different. So I asked him if he wanted the Holy Spirit and he said yes to all of it. Then when I prayed for the Holy Spirit to empower him to do the things he cannot do. His face got covered in tears. So I knew Jesus did something. Still frustrated. I talked to God I said Lord I had all the faith in the world, why wasn't the blind man healed all the way. Jesus asked me. I know you have the faith, but do you also have the love? I began to understand. Do I know what its like to be blind? Will I have fully layed my life down for this man I was praying for. Then that's when it occurred Jesus cares more about our hearts then our physical need. Well at the end the blind man stood up and in front of everybody and thanked us for praying for him. He testified that he felt Gods presence so strong that he knew Jesus was in the place. You could just tell that he was having such an encounter with the lord. People on the streets are so desperate and hungry for the truth the real deal. So that's also when the lord began to show me. Its ok to be hungry and desperate for me. "Why waste your time being hungry and desperate for stuff that just comes and goes ?" Why not be hungry for my ETERNAL LOVE AND ETERNAL POWER that lasts a life time. My bread! Instead of the worlds bread and water that only lasts for a moment. Well as we got back at night to the center. I got to lay hands on other team member s and instantly they both got filled with the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues. I was able to prophesy the lords words over them! Then the lord said "This is my eternal power,my eternal Love. I want to give gifts that lasts forever." I was just so amazed at the revelation that kept on hitting me. We got to rest a couple of days and get to know the kids in the orphanage. Everyday after 3p.m. ne and this lady would go pray for this little boy about 3or 4 years old. We were believing for him for healing because they were saying he was very sick and he deals with being in a coma many times. So my heart was so expecting the lord to heal him. My heart would break every time I would see him because I saw how valuable he was. How precious he was to the lord. One night we prayed for him for peace and he fell asleep. He was very mute he would not speak in his Body language as well so we could not tell if there was a change or not. Praying for him felt like I was praying for my own son. He really had a place in my heart. There is something that happens when you pray for these kids. You feel like you adopt them. Well we arranged to pray for him (Tino) in the morning. So the next morning cam e and we decided to pray for him. He was asleep but we still prayed. Then afterwards we left. I got to know some of the kids more. Then we found out that someone's brother died by a car accident. So we began to pray for him to be raised from the dead. So that same night we found out that Tino died the boy that we have been praying for. My heart BROKE in pain. I cried also believing it was an opportunity for me to raise the dead. I was reminding the lord. Lord you promised that I would raise the dead. So broken, not understanding why. My plan was to stay up all night and believe for him to be raised, but as the tears got stronger and the pain grew deeper the weaker I became. My prayer only lasted for an hour. Then I went to bed broken. Next morning still broken wanting to hear good news. Waiting…… A few days flew by still no good news, wanting to blame God as they told me they buried him. Asking the lord why didn't he answer my prayers. Then he spoke to me and said "Why do you want to see the dead raised, the blind to see the deaf to hear?" etc….My easy answer was well Of course for your glory lord! He spoke to my heart again. " Its so much more then just signs, wonders, and miracles." " Do you know my love?" DO you know how much I love you?' Do you know how much I love that person besides you?" Then that's when it hit me. Do I even know that person besides me? Do I even love that person beside me? Then I am reminded of this verse… Matthew 16:24-25" If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whomever losses his life for me will find it. So I said of course I will lay down my life for you lord. SO he said ok. I want you to love others and lay your love down for others. Then it hit me again. Jesus walked in our shoes he layed down his life for us. He layed down his love for us. He gave us the power to do the same for others. Then he said "what is your motivation? Why do you want to see people healed, set free, and delivered? Next was the hospital ministry we would go pray for the sick. We went with one leader and one pastor. On our way the leader decided to pull over and pray for protection over our team and asked us to pray for the pastor. I really did not feel like praying for anyone. I really wanted to give up. Why pray what's the point now? So after we prayed for the pastor this other man comes up and asks for prayer. He is a catholic priest. S0 as we began to pray the leader read the verse Matthew 7; 9-12 I was freaking out excitedly I said I had this dream this is the beginning of my dream. Then the leader was like Ok you need to pray for this man. So I was praying my spirit got really loud/ as soon as I got quiet, out of energy the leader was like keep praying louder it builds your faith. I would pray again got quiet again. Then he encouraged me not to give up. We prayed about 3 times. Not understanding why nothing was happening. So we got to talk to the catholic man and found out he went to a witch doctor so we led him in a prayer to renounce those moments and ask the lord for forgiveness. The leader encouraged me to use my faith. I also remembered to release the lords LOVE. Next thing we knew and heard was HE began speaking in tongues. Hallelujah his face light up with delight. He even said he had hope. Then next this man who was selling cell phones comes up and wants the prayer of salvation. Then this lady comes up and wants prayer. I prayed for them as I would want prayer. As we finally arrived at the hospital we began to witness about Jesus. Everyone we witnessed too got saved. So I would say about 10 people got saved. I prayed for this one guy for healing he wouldn't tell me what he needed healing for but I felt the lord s presence really strong when I prayed for him. At the end of the night I began to speak to the leader about how I was feeling about Tino and everything. He told me that sometimes when you get a prophesies the opposite happens first. He also prayed for me for strength to keep on praying even if it takes a hundred days for someone to get healed. Well as the next couple of days went buy I was already on my next mission. The lord used me to prophesy over Pastors and leaders there. God has really given me a heart for pastors and leaders. It was amazing to see God move prophetically through me and watch Big Smiles light up on people faces. We began praying for this other boy, he had full blown aids and needed healing. For awhile he wouldn't talk. But in the last couple of days he started talking to us. He even gave me my own name because he couldn't say my English name. Well one of the ladies that helped take care of him asked us to pray for her because she had HIV/AIDS as well. SO I did and such a huge JOY came over me that I haven't felt since I have been there. I had this knowing that she was healed that moment. SO I told her….She was so happy she felt the JOY to. Well we ended up having to go cause of time but I gave her a bottle of anointing oil. The next day I got to pray for a boy with one deaf ear with these two girls from Australia he was instantly healed. God was really pouring out. The last couple of nights of street ministry, was pretty heart breaking as well. Even though one night there was about 30 salvations and 6 instant healing of people that were in pain…it was so heart braking. One night we went to a prostitute home and griped people that were on the streets and we did praise in worship in the prostitute building. These two little boys so young were crying wanting to come to the center. It broke my heart so so much to see them crying. For some reason we weren't aloud to bring them along. It amazes me how blessed we are. I mean I have literally seen kids younger then 3 years of age their in Africa live were garbage is dumped and piled up. I mean what we take for granted here they need down there in Africa. There is so much more to share what happened in Africa this is just a summary. The Bride is calling out for Revival signs wonders and miracles, but to me all these things mean nothing if it doesn't have the lords love. MORE LOVE MORE POWER MORE OF YOU IN MY LIFE
YES LORD. BREAK US TO LOVE LIKE YOU LOVE. To be continued again soon. |
