A God of Mercy and Kindness

Update from the States:

I have applied and filed the Visa application to return to Brazil, and it is still with the Consulate.

I will be in New York from July 22nd until at least Aug 2nd. From there, I await the Lord to give me clear direction for next steps.

In the meantime, I have been amazingly blessed and encouraged by the body and by so many others during this time as we, the body, continue to disciple, evangelize, prophesy, and encourage those near and far in Springfield, MO.

Last Friday we blessed and loved on many people on the downtown square, and I rejoice that His Spirit will continue our works! A particular young teenager who spends most of his days by foot and staying with friends, mentioned how he would never forget this night because He knew God was speaking to him. In his language, he used to have a relationship with the Lord, became distracted with many things, and recently had been praying again trying to get back "there"..  What a beautiful exchange to look him in the eyes and tell him that God hears you, and loves you passionately. You are not forgotten; you are His Son. He has arms open wide. This was no accident tonight, and we ALSO love you--whether you are near or far..

Bringing the wandering and darkened souls back to you....no one can do it but you, King Jesus. When I remember your unfailing love and mercy toward us, I can't help but humbly cry out with rejoicing and thankfulness!

Let's embrace this truth for a moment: God doesn't rate one persons sin against another, and surely doesn't compare one man's trauma with another persons'...My God, you can turn the most darkened soul into one clean and liberated--I've seen it, and I can testify to it. THANK YOU!!

Hear me say, Father: Each time I remember the ways you love, or I discover something new about the way you love or how you instruct me to do the same, it deserves an AMEN. Woohoo!!  I love this. Let's keep at this, body of Christ..
