It wasn’t but a couple months ago when I came forward before the altar of God seeking a word: The Prophet spoke and fore-saw great battles, challenges, adversity, persecution;
but to fear not, because God was for me.
Just street preaching alone comes with much adversity, and persecution, sometimes the greatest afflictions are from people who claim to know Jesus Christ. We started off our journey in the Philippines, on assignment in the city of Iloilo:
God moved mightily in the streets and lanes of the City, Parks, Beach front, City events, and in the Churches, and I believe multitudes of people got touched by the glory of Jesus Christ:
Then I took my phone in to fix my backside (from a previous demonic attack from a homeless man who threw my phone down with all of his might and shattered it) and instead of fixing it, they fried it, with not even any compensation to the price I paid, nor the destruction of 177,000 peso phone.
Then we went to San Jose, and they get in that massive Street Outreach, ministered in the churches, and had another glorious city event that touched multitude of people for the glory of Jesus Christ. Then after a couple weeks of nonstop continual ministry, came home to spend time with my family; and our dog Tucker past onto eternity, and our car broke down; instead of having great outings were stuck at our home for a couple weeks.
Then we went to Pangasinan; ministered in the churches, streets, and another City event for the glory of Jesus Christ; then came back home and still our vehicle was broken down, and now our water system does not work. It seemed like every turn we suffered loss;
But God who is rich in mercy and grace kept making various different ways, (not always so convenient) but in His own special way of proving himself to always be faithful.
We might not always see the fruits of our labor in this temporal sin filled World, but we are looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, and for the joy that was set before Him (you and me) he endured the cross; for our citizenship is in heaven; keep your heart and affection on things above, endure hardship, fight the great fight of faith, rejoice in the Lord always, store up for yourself treasure in heaven; unto an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that fadeth not a way, reserved in heaven for you; Who are kept by the power of God through faith until salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein you greatly rejoice, through now for a season, if need be, we are in heaviness through Manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: whom having not seen, you love; and whom though now we see him not, yet believing, We rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of our faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:3-9
