A Promise From God

I’m extremely excited to begin this journey of welcoming everyone to the mission. There is an abundance of things to be caught up on which will be covered in some parts through my FaceBook. However, I’ll begin this blog with testifying to the loud and evident movement of God that has taken place throughout training camp. God is more than just a God that confides in the fruits of our peace through relationship. He is a God of action. He is a God that provides. He is a God that heals.

The last three weeks have been extremely eventful consisting of worship, session, and time with the people on our squad. Though through this time of preparation, God has fulfilled a promise that was made to me. On November 22, 2019 I was saved by God. After two years of fighting depression, anxiety and self harm; I had made the decision that my life was better off dead. I had spent many long nights drained of my happiness and days crippled by the stricken mindset of my very body failing. My days were controlled by my anxiety that caused pain in my chest and often led to anxiety attacks. The time I had spent on earth in my head at the time was coming to an end which was dictated by the voice in my head. After years of the weight that burdened my heart, I found myself sitting in a deer stand leaned up against an old oak tree. Laid across my lap was a 30/30 lever action deer rifle. I sat in the tree stand for hours, eaten by the thoughts that ran through my head and from the cold that had bitten my face, I was confronted with an extreme thought that in my head that only a miracle could save. I stood up from my sitting position and lowered the gun down to the base of the tree in preparation to send a bullet in my head to end the pain that deteriorated any hope I had. As I stood at the rail of the deer stand I was ripped back from the rail by a force that felt like a hand grabbing my back. The voice became clear to me by the voice that followed. The voice said to me “ I am not done with you yet My Son, I have a family and a promise for you far greater than anything you could imagine. I have a Promise for you.” I sat in shock by clarity of the voice and the hug and peace that followed. I cried tears of happiness from the presence of God that resided over and inside of me. Marking the day of sadness into one of the happiest days of my life. The joy and peace that filled my heart was one that reminded me that God was real and not just of God of spirit but also a God of action. From that day forward, I had dedicated my life to working to live a life for God. I had given my life to God. In the same way that Eliana had passed away so that I could live, God had sent Jesus to die so that I could be free. So I will praise God with every breath in my body until the day my breath ends. Only for the hope that my words that I will have spoken will share the glory of God and the Love He longs to share for everyone.

For the past two years God has reminded me of this promise that was yet to come to fruition. I was given the ask for faith and patience. Patience is trusting the Lord’s presence. Through this preparation and transformation that God had placed in my life, I worked on following this promise which has led me to the World Race. Through each step of obedience towards this promise he had for me, I was given reassurance and peace that He was moving. On the first day of training camp God’s promise became clear. God had promised me a place in His family. I have found peace, love, and relation in the people that God has placed in my life. God gave me a family.

So as I sit in front of my iPad with tears of joy. Haha I feel like I look crazy right now. I will state proudly that all the glory be to God for the love, peace, and family that has overcome my heart and mind. I love you all W-Squad. Y’all are the promised family. Glory to God.

Ephesians 3:19
So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s Holy people. You are members of God’s family.
