We have readied another short term mission team. Tomorrow 13 brothers and sisters in Christ head to Nicaragua to do our Lord's business. Is the team ready? Ready or not the enemy is ready. Every time I know we are getting out of this worlds business and close to the business of our Father, stuff starts happening. So why would this effort be different. The toothless lion roared this week, starting with challenges at work, dragged me into a internal struggle, got my blood rushing...I began to have that out of control feeling, the rush. Then Karen's step-dad died in Ohio, then several things started breaking at home, feeling sick - colds, then Karen's car gets hit by a truck , wrecks the side of her car, bangs her head, then my home office equipment stopped working, it goes on and on. BTW Karen is ok...Thank you God.
I know it is Satan, roaring about attempting to distract. So what do you do but pray. I think about what Jesus said, that "He in you is greater than he who is of this world". I pray for our team, and that we keep the focus on Gods will, not ours. I pray for the people of Nicaragua, Haiti, Chile and other lands of hardship. I thank Jesus for being with us always and thank God for His promises.
Then this Psalm came to me again. I have to post it later, it hit me with a strong dose of His Power...I needed it tonight. Ready or not, Spiritual Warfare here we come!!
I will post updates from the road on my Facebook, keep us in your prayer.
Jesus, our Redeemer Lives!!
In His Grip,
Alberto
