I would like to share with you some things the Lord was excited to share with me this week during our time together.
"What are you teaching me right now Lord?"
"I'm teaching you how to hand it all over to me. You aren't strong enough to raise all of your support on your own. You can talk and talk and call as many people as you want, but until you slow down enough to let me help you you will be exhausted. I am teaching you how to pray BIG and to pray BOLD and to pray SPECIFIC and to pray EXPECTANTLY.
I hope you never think that what I will have you doing in Cambodia will be easy. You will suffer at the sight of the suffering of those around you. You will be blown away by the power of the enemy. BUT if you remain founded in me and my word, you will walk and not be weary nor will you stumble. My angles will watch over you. You will trample the enemy with my help because he has no power over you if you are in Me.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot."
(Psalm 91:11-13 ESV)
"God, I am already tired. Why? Is it a test?"
"You must believe that I will make you like the palm tree and the mighty cedar.
The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
They are planted in the house of the LORD;
they flourish in the courts of our God.
(Psalm 92:12-13 ESV)
You are planted in me and you will not ever run dry. You may feel weak on dry, hot days, but you will be drawn up out of the desert. My child, if I am mightier than the ocean's waves and the flood's currents surely I can send you to Cambodia for two years to accomplish a mighty work and bring you back safely!
And let me tell you…
LOVE is your keyword of the next two years. All things are and will be accomplished through LOVE. It seems to be a cliche word in your society, but you will experience LOVE in new and powerful ways. You will become a true believer of LOVE—it redeems, it frees, it heals, it grows.
And the time has come for Cambodia to rise and shine and walk in light and love. The night is gone. LOVE is at the door…penetrating, seeping under and around the frame and bulging at the windows and flowing in through the chimney. It is time and the people there are seeking it, hungering for it. They are finding the flesh is not satisfying enough and they wonder what else could there be? You will not believe the transformations you will see. And you will be filled with awe. And the glory will all be given to Me!
Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires."
(Romans 13:11-14 ESV)
