Well well well. Here we are again. I felt like I was supposed to update everyone on my first travel day and how everything is going so far from my perspective. I initially wasn’t going to write a blog yet, or maybe I’ll save this in my drafts for another day. Either way, here I am.
After being in Gainesville, Georgia for launch (which is more training). My squad soon left for Romania, of course with a layover in France. All the flights ended up leaving and getting to each country on time which was great and amazing.
The enemy has been trying to throw some punches though. Some lost their luggage, some lost a few items, some got bloody noses and most of us got the thing everyone hates with a passion. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated alike fell to this illness.
So we’ve been quarantining for the sake of our health, the people’s health here in Romania and for the ministry we have partnered with. Of which at this time I will not name and probably can’t name for safety and security reasons.
Some of us even moved to another building entirely in which two of us felt the spiritual warfare in the air. As the region we are in is widely known for people dwelling in witchcraft and the new age. In fact, on the way to this other building I saw a sign for palm reading which happens to be in walking distance from where we are at.
Yet, despite the resistance; despite the spiritual warfare we all have been remaining joyful in the Lord. For we know God is the ultimate victor and He is always with us in any circumstance. The enemy (satan) doesn’t want us to do the will of the Lord. For tiny man knows just how great God is and that the Lord is going to do wild and miraculous and crazy things among, through and within M Squad.
Please keep M Squad in your prayers during this time and throughout the whole year. As we’ve given our ‘yes’ to God or rather our ‘Hineni’ and we will continue to press into the Lord no matter the circumstances. For those who may be curious ‘Hineni’ is basically “here I am Lord” in which no matter what the Lord has called us to we will fully obey the Lord and do it. Moses gave God his ‘Hineni’ at the burning bush and ended up leading the Israelites out of Egypt.
So sorry so many of you are ill whether you have symptoms or not. Love your attitude about it though and the less on on Hineni. What language is the word from? So thankful for your “Hineni”.
It is in the light we have protection the light is the word and the word is one with the creator. May yeshua messiah move his mighty hand against all that rises to hinder your progress and may the light of the lord shine as a beacon for all to see. Christs’ message is for those in need …do not waste your time on those who are already saved but move twards those looking for help… Also steer clear of swine and dogs …those that will never change nor wish to… “Cast not your pearls on swine or dogs lest they will turn on you and devour you.”.. This is an important lesson for missionaries… Also , it is important not to sit in the seat of judgement for that seat belongs to Christ Jesus alone… Instead use discernment with gods compassionate heart as your guide… Peace and love to you and your squad. Blessings abound…. Thomas
Two things stood out to me:
“For tiny man knows just how great God is…”
“… here I am Lord…”
In many more words than that, I could try to know what there is to know of the fear of God, try to know what there is to know of the truly willing heart. What you have done concisely is to illustrate our posture toward Yahweh. Immensely powerful.
Thank you for your words. The Lord bless.
