One thing that God has shown me since being in Swaziland was the authority that I am called to walk in.
Luke 10:18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”
God has given me the authority to do great things in His name. I have been given power over the enemy and have been anointed to do the will of the Lord. Many times in my life lies have been whispered to me that I am too young, I am too unlearned, I don’t have wisdom, I have nothing to offer, but God sees me for what I am and gives me what I need to overcome. I may be young but the Holy Spirit lives within me. I don’t know the bible as well as others but I know the gospel and the truth of my salvation. I don’t have an offering that is worthy of the Lord but God sees my heart and says, “That’s exactly what I want.”
Only one week of ministries here remain before we begin preparing for our return home. I know that in a week’s time there is little impact that can be made by one person. But I am not walking in my own authority but am walking in the authority of the Risen Lord that has been bestowed on me. He goes before me and will do great things with the time that I bring Him. I praise God that it is not by my strength that I serve but it is by the strength of the Almighty God.
