Sunday Sep 4th

I love walking into church knowing that God is going to change lives. Before the service starts, we all gather around and intercede for the worship team, the people that are coming, the message, etc. A few months back I did not feel comfortable at all praying out loud in front of everyone. I would pray to my self, and lets not talk about friday night intercession. Never catch me on the mic. So come sunday, we're standing around praying and now I'm a lot more comfortable doing it and my pastor looks at me and whispers, " call of worship ". I promise I almost freaked for a sec, but calmly answered back. . . yeah sure. That meant 20 secs before worship started I would have to be on stage, with a mic in my hand inviting everyone to come worship and I would have to pray. I have done it once before but the 1st time I felt like I was going to literally die, this time I was like okay I can do this, its an opportunity for me. I'm only writing about this because ever since I went to Nicaragua on a missions trip, I couldn't care about being on stage and holding a mic or praying out loud so everyone could hear me. Everyday I was translating and every day I was praying for people. One time of stepping out of our shell is all we need, now I have breakthrough in that area because I never stopped doing that. Not even after coming back home. It has been a constant going out and praying for random people, I view what I'm doing now as a step towards the place from where God calls me. So I want to encourage everyone that reads this to: take every opportunity giving to you, and take it with a heart burning for Jesus, knowing that its an step towards his will for your life. Go and pray for people you don't know, the world is not being taken over for Jesus if the people that have the power to do so are staying in a box. More and more opportunities come your way once you start obeying God. Instead of questioning, just do!
