Heart for the people

What the Lord has put into my heart is a love for the people of Fiji. Even though I’m still being used as I stay in the hotel as a witness to the tourists, it is the villages and the people that I really desire to reach. I’m thankful for the opportunities in my just going about that I’m able to be used. As we’ve been ministering in villages, it is revealed that many already know the name of Jesus, they just don’t know Jesus, especially as Savior and Lord. Prayers have been for the religious spirit to cease and desist from keeping hearts closed and for the LIGHT to flood their understanding. My prayers also have been to have an expanded compassion and understanding of the people and customs here by the places and faces He has appointed unto me. I know that there is much that needs to be deposited inside of me, and there is much that needs to be left here.

Duration of the stay

How long should I stay has been rolling around inside of me this past few days.
What the Lord shared with me was: Before the foundations of the world, a plan was written for each and every life and every day. It is reaching an understanding that we can “alter” that plan by the decisions we make. Today as I walked and prayed, I realized that I must stay here until each and every appointment that was prewritten is fulfilled or I’m accountable when I arrive in heaven for deciding that my plan was more important that the plan that was written. That would leave me in a place of being outside of the will of God. Not a place any of us should be interested in being.

Walking by Faith

We’ve been walking by faith, but this is a new level. I’m allowing the Lord to direct my every step in a place that I’ve never been before. Quite prayer time in my “villa” with Him along with wonderful walks on the beach. All to let Him take things out and put things into me.
I’m excited as Prov. 3 says: Lean on, trust in, and rely on the Lord and He will direct your steps. That is what this is. A total press to follow the Spirit of the Lord and where He is directing me to go. I’ve realized just how much He wants us to totally surrender and follow Him ~ Going “ALL OUT” for the Lord.

New & Old Friends

Wow, so far there have been over 1500 salvations and hundreds of baptisims in the Holy Spirit!
My heart is being pulled as I’ve encountered many who I’ve ministered before.
The Lord continues to pour out his compassion and mercy as there have been many many healings.

Also, I saw Dr. Watson (my boat captain from May of 2005) on a bus. A cry of my heart is to go back to the island of Makogai…. here he was on a bus in Suva! He told me that the people there desire me to come back and stay awhile.

Keep praying as I don’t want them to rely on me, rather I want them to rely on the Spirit of the Lord to fill and maintain their strength in their faith.
