"This little brick church in the middle of nowhere in Malawi will always
be such a special place for me. It was Sunday morning October 13th, 2019.
And looking back now I see how God had been preparing me for what he
wanted to do in that place on that day for months.
I had a vision in early spring and then again in late summer of me
speaking at a small church like a home church. It wasn't something that I
had really wanted to do at the time, so I kind of laughed it off like
"yeah right not me". That was until our third night in Malawi at dinner
pastor Carlos asked if I would like to give the message at the church we
would be visiting the next day. I said yes even though I had anxiety about
it, because I knew at that point that those visions I had had were about
to become a reality.
I didn't sleep very much that night because of the anxiety and the
physical symptoms that came with it (I will spare the details) and also
because I was in prayer over what I felt like the lord wanted me to say
to these people. When the day came I gave a message on how God wants to
use us as vessels of love and grace and mercy, but that we have to be
willing to be used by being obedient to whatever he asks.
After I asked if anyone needed prayer for anything that they should come
up to the front as well as anyone who wanted to rededicate their live to
the Lord that day. The response was amazing and the line for prayer was
much longer than I expected. But God was there and He showed up in ways
that up to that point in my life I had never seen on that
level.
Every single person we prayed for with a physical ailment or injury was
healed, feet, knees, heads, blurred vision, chest pain (that moved
around), the demonic attachments, all of it was healed and had to leave in
the name of Jesus!!! It was beautiful to see a very old woman missing her
front teeth smile from ear to ear when she realized her knee pain that
required her to use a walking stick was gone. It was beautiful to watch
God work, it's beautiful because I got to see all of this because I said
yes to what He wanted to do that day. This was not in my plans!!! What is
it God want to partner with you in???"
