He's Moving in Mighty Ways

This week Kristen and I have been in Enniskillen with the local vineyard, The Lakes Vineyard, doing Love Enniskillen. This week is about serving the community in different ways. Every day has been filled with things to serve the community. We've been cleaning toilets, cleaning up people's gardens, cutting grass, washing people's car windows, healing on the streets and treasure hunting. We are not the only American's though. There is a group here of 20 Other American's on the World Race with Adventures in Missions. There is also a couple of locals staying with all plus at the rugby club. At the moment, I'm sitting near a place that has free wifi because I'm feeling rather sick. This is the only access to wifi we have had at all during the week. But boy have I been learning a lot. God is in this place, this city, these people. Yesterday, we had healing on the streets and there was major spiritual warfare. God want this city and the people, but the devil won't hand it over easily. We had some people accuse us of drinking while seeing, which was a blatant lie. We had a lady call a couple of our girls abominations because of wearing jeans an make-up. We had a battle on our hands coming from every direction. At one point, a man stood up that was not associated with your group start preaching fire, and brimstone. It was intense and in your face ad real life. We have had numerous people say no to prayer and yet, the power of God is with us. His presence is tangible, relatable and full of unconditional love. God is simply asking for obedience. We need this week as much as te people we're ministering do. What I have struck by is the community we have built within the group so quickly. There is a common purpose and bond that allows the fluency of our service to be easy. We are united in this and can take down the enemy, no matter what he throws our way. He is for us, not against us. He brings us to the point of trust with Him that is so inviting that we can't resist. He wants our obedience to Him so he can use us and bless us. It is simply amazing to see Him move.
