Sometimes, God hits you with a humbling smack in the face. Not that I've been particularly prideful. But putting aside Word Time is not an option. Neither is putting aside Quiet Time. You see, I went to a meeting for the Kenya missions trip today. Jason Holland, the trip leader, was very bluntly asking us questions to find out if we're at all prepared for Kenya. At the moment, I'm nowhere near prepared. But now I know what's up, and that I need to do more than just get by. When I go to Kenya, I wanna resemble Jesus to the point that I can share His words when there's a chance for me to do so.
One point he hit on that I was glad to hear was him talking about aligning your prayers with the Word. For instance, what if we pray for "God's will" to come about with a healing? The Bible doesn't tell us to pray for that. It tells us to use faith and believe for a healing, not to just pray for God's will over it. The more we know of the Word, the more we can pray Biblically accurate prayers, so that they'll have that power with them.
I'll be meeting with Jason during the week now, 'cause he made a joke about giving teachings on deliverance, but I very much wanna know what to do when I tell a demon to leave a person, and the demon says "no".
