A trip to the “city that never sleeps”

Biblical Themes:

The biggest Biblical them for me personally was the concept of, do not worry about what you will say, because at the time you need it the Holy Spirit will give you the words to say. I did not walk around constantly seeing people I had words for. It was just by faith walking up to them and beginning to speak. But just about every time whatever words were coming out of my mouth eased their spirit and you could see it in their eyes and face.

Personal challenge:

My biggest personal challenge was trying to be led by the Spirit and not just my mind. Especially through leading the team, my mind was constantly moving, thinking about one thing or the next. But there were times I just needed to quiet my mind, quiet my spirit, and just listen. There are moments throughout life that your mind will fail you, all your thoughts are not enough and you have to rely on the Spirit to lead you in those times. I had a couple moments like that, and a couple moments where I was able to quiet my spirit. It seemed like even while looking for people I was not led by the Spirit though. Maybe it was just me, I’m not sure. i do know that out of it seemed to come a boldness to just walk up to anybody and start talking to them, and I could feel God in the those moments. The line of Smith Wigglesworth’s “I do not wait for God to move, I make God move” kept replaying in my head over and over again, and I tried to walk in that.

God’s faithfulness”

God showed His faithfulness over and over again in those few days to the team. Mainly in food and money. Especially at the beginning we started off thinking we were gonna be negative on money and have no food. we ended up through God’s faithfulness and people’s faithfulness to follow what I believe was God’s direction (yes, even at time in the unsaved), having a surplus of money and food. It was truly incredible.
