No matter the cost

God's moving with or without you. You can either ignore him, stand by and watch, or let him bring you along with him.

I have chosen to move with him. I have chosen to believe in the purpose and plan that he has set me apart for. I have chosen that the spiritual warfare inflicted on me through Satan himself has been worth the fight, if that means bringing glory to God.

Today was enough evidence for me that the work God has called me to do is worth the fight. Today I had the honor of meeting Martin Onen, pastor and co-founder of Favor of God Ministries in Gulu, Uganda. Meeting him in person, hearing his heart, and having him visit with us, is a reminder straight from my Father of the purpose he has given for my life. He is my brother, and I will stand with him no matter the cost.

I am learning quickly that ministry work is not easy, attractive, or popular, and it has required me to live a level of faithfulness that is terrifying. But still I will press on, move forward in obedience, and trust that God will not forsake us.

Nesha,

Ministry and faith can be so difficult because as we come closer in relationship with our saviour,Jesus Christ the enemy attacks harder and more wickedly. I have lost so much to continue to follow Christ including my biological family,many friends, many possessions....but I count them all as loss. This last week was the perfect example of the enemies attack on my family. The only difference is that because of Christ the blinders were removed and we saw the enemy for who he was.

I am encouraged by your faith and willingness to serve our King. Continue fighting the good fight and we will both stand victorious at the side of our King when the veil is revealed. Remember these words of a fovorite song;

Our God is Healer,awesome in power. Our God,Our God. And if our God is for us,who can stand against. And if our god is with us what can stand against.

Love you and your heart to serve,

Chas
