I’m leaving for outreach in 2 weeks!!

The abounding lesson I’ve felt here is that God is good, so good… AMEN!! While this truth has been taught and known my whole life, shown through my parents, my grandparents, my family and God's grace and protection in my life. It’s important to truly know it personally and in your spirit through an intimate relationship with the Father.

This week alone we’ve had some crazy healings and miracles in class time. During a ministry moment, it was revealed to people to pray for healing, specifically back and neck pain. Everyone surrounded the people with back pain and corporately prayed in Jesus’ name they WILL be healed, and the pain WILL go… and that day 3 girls with scoliosis were healed THERE AND THEN and HAD NO BACK PAIN AND COULD TWIST AND MOVE MORE THAN THEY HAD EVER BEEN ABLE TO!!!

A few days later our speaker listed 5-7 health issues that he felt we should pray for so, once again, they stood, we surrounded them and 7 people were healed there and then!!! People who had bad accidents and injuries years ago now have full movement in their shoulders, arms, and backs… someone who we all knew couldn’t lift his arm above his shoulder, but was now moving his arm 360° in a windmill motion!!! Then, the next morning, 3 people who had been prayed for, woke up to being completely healed!! It’s absolutely wild, to have a God who loves us so much and is so good to us!!

My roommate, Jenna, also came back from the prayer room one night, shouting that Jesus healed her asthma!! During a prayer set for Gen Z, the intercessor lead felt like they couldn't pray for healing across schools and colleges unless they prayed for healing right there… so she raised her hand and they prayed for her. As soon as they said to test out your health issue, all pain and struggle in breathing ceased!!!!!!!!

HALLELULIAH!!

GOD IS GOOD!!, especially when we have faith- he can heal the sick and move mountains!

The good news stories and testimonies people are sharing, in healings, words from God, transformation, and giftings are so good! All Glory to God!!!!

"For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20-21.

To also see God provide the finances for people, is amazing, people who had thousands and thousands of dollars left to pay, are now fully funded! - Receiving huge anonymous donations, having very distant family members pay the rest or suddenly seeing everyone on Instagram paying what they can to equal the tuition!

The goodness and grace of God!

Even, again my roommate Jenna; got prayer from a 10-year-old who said they saw a ‘money tree’ when praying (she had a couple thousand left to pay at this point), and then by the end of the day she was fully funded! God speaks to children too!

While we as a class have seen many blessings this week, it certainly was a process. I’ve learnt the importance of walking with Jesus in uncertainty, doubt and without emotion. Walking with Jesus is not about any feelings in ministry or worship, or knowing everything, or anything lowkey, but simply trusting. Walking in confidence of who Jesus is- a good God, who loves us, cares for us, and has a better plan than we can imagine! And that is enough. Surrendering everything else in obedience and not allowing the enemy to creep up with doubt, fear, worry or unbelief.

We had Gabe Strydom this week, talking about holiness and fear of the Lord!! He spoke with so much wisdom and conviction, and really made us question if we had enough fear of the Lord.

Key points:

· Holiness = being set apart but also pure love.

· Holiness is not trying harder but seeing clearer.

· We are holy because God justified us by the work of the blood through our faith, but we are also being made holy through the Holy Spirit.

· Fear of the Lord = that our love and covenant with God is so strong that I have so much respect that 1 look will make me sit. – In the same way Gabe’s wife, despite being way smaller and physically weaker than him, can make him sit down with one look because of their love and covenant.

· Love requires a response!!

· You cannot lose your salvation, but you can give it away!!

· Yahweh never changes!!!

· We need to turn out of our inward posture!

I leave for outreach in 2 weeks and I'm so excited!! We had the honour of meeting a man who currently is a missionary right now in the place we’ll be going (I can’t specify the nation online right now). He shared some amazing and heartbreaking stories about the state of the nation, currently 50% of families do not have a father due to them moving to Russia for better jobs… and then not returning and starting a new family. 50% of wives do not have a husband!! SO SO many children do not have a father!! It's absolutely devastating hearing the stories, there's so much deep-rooted, underground suffering and loneliness. Please be praying for the unreached!!! He also cast vision for these communities and let us in on what God has really been speaking to them about! We are so pumped to go serve the people there and carry the love of Jesus, I have full faith that the Holy Spirit will lead us to the people and places he wants us to go! We believe that God will encounter these people, heal the sick, cast out demons and save lives!

The gospel is so urgent and there are 3.2 billion unreached people in the world- 3.2 billion people who do not have Jesus or his love in their lives, do not have a relationship with him, and carry around the burden of their sin and shame with them. It breaks my heart to know this, God wants to partner with us on this, and wants us to intercede, pray for healing and share the gospel with them. I cannot imagine where I would be without the love and grace of God and I am so thankful that my parents and grandparents brought me up in a world with the love of Jesus. Jesus' last command calls us all to make disciples of all nations.

Matthew 28 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

We have the authority in Jesus' name to intercede for the unreached, Jesus is on the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf RIGHT NOW, and he wants us to partner with him and draw close to the heart of the Father and obey what he says. Our prayers and intercession have real power and purpose and I believe individuals and nations WILL BE saved as we intercede for them. I encourage everyone to set aside time every time to fight for the people who RIGHT NOW are dying without knowing the name of Jesus, people who are lying in bed so lonely and depressed and anxious, people who need Jesus!!!

God is so good!

I love y’all so much! ❤️❤️

If anyone has any questions, please let me know!! 
