Reclaiming Christ’s Kingdom in all Nations!
I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my
faithfulness to you. Jeremiah 31:3
Daniel Fast 2012: Day Nineteen
Dear Familia In Christ,
Here is what I do to love and obey Jesus more:
About the second or third day I was saved as I was sitting before the Lord.
I got a picture of me running towards Jesus. I was about three years old
and still wearing a diaper. As I ran closer to him the clearer I could see
him so eager to embrace me. When I got to him. He picked me up and just
held me. That day I learned that my father was eager to embrace me and was
even excited about it!
Having said that, this is what I do to love Jesus more. I run to him. I
get in his presence and just sit quietly and wait. Wait for what? To hear
the voice of my father. To hear his heart beat for me. So that my heart
can beat with the same rhythm his does. In his presence nothing else
matters. In the secret place it all makes sense. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know
the plans I have for you declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to
harm you plans to give you hope and a future. Everything (problems,
concerns, doubts and fears) become so small. I have a notebook with me and
I write down what my father speaks to me and about me. This is what I do
hear my father say to me every day. Jeremaih 31:3, “I have loved you with
an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” So I just
trust him. It is comforting to know that I trust and obey the one who’s got
my best interest at heart. What else is there?
Here is what I do to help others love Jesus:
I pray for them. A lot of the time when I’m running errands. The Lord will
show me things about people so I walk up to them and ask them if I can pray
for them. One time I followed a lady around at Wal-Mart for about an hour.
When our shopping carts passed each other in the aisle I sensed great
sorrow. So I began to ask the Lord about her sorrow. Long story short, I
ended up approaching her and asked her if I could pray for her. When I
finished praying for her. She showed me a gun she had in her purse. Her
son had been killed just two weeks prior and it was going to be her first
Christmas without her son.
Yesterday I was coming out of another store and in the parking lot there was
a van with a young lady’s picture that has been missing for six years now.
I began to ask the Lord about that young lady. As I was getting in my
vehicle the owner of the van was getting in her car as well(it was the
gal’s aunt.) She stopped and looked at me. I knew the Lord wanted me to
pray for her. I asked if the young lady had been found, she said no. I
took her hands and asked her if she wanted a resolution? She said yes so I
prayed for resolution of the case. She had been mad at God and she
reconciled with the Lord.
We love you all,
