God Is SO Good; May Update

Written by admin on May 31st, 2009

And we know that God causes ALL things to work together for GOOD to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Over the last month God has shown this to be so true to me. Since the last time that I sent our an update God has done so much. Also I have been really attacked at the same time and have been sick probably half of that time since then. God is so faithful in the midst of it all. I remember about 2 weeks back I was going to preach at a church the next morning and I couldn’t fall asleep as I was laying on my bed. My body was sweating and then quickly turning into to cold chills. As I laid there frustrated and annoyed Jesus came to me and was releasing heavenly visions in the midst of it all. One of those visions was a word for the church that I was going to share in the next morning.
As I woke up that morning I felt like I had malaria, I decided nothing was going to stop me from going. I felt in complete and total dependency upon God. And that’s the best place to be. As I shared that morning the love of the Father came into the place and was changing lives. I was even touched…really by what the Holy Spirit gave me to say.
Its amazing how God was able to take that time that the enemy was trying to take me out and use it to speak to me what He wanted me to share. God is so so faithful.

I know that sickness is not of God. Jesus clearly showed us that through healing all those who were oppressed by the devil. Praise God! Right now I am finally feeling strong and back to full energy again. I thank God and each one of you that have been praying for me. The healing has come.

One evening recently I was gathering with some of the guys in the house/office that I’m staying in right now. ( Yea God I’m not in a tent anymore. I’ve upgraded to a house). We were studying about the Holy Spirit and His baptism for us together. The Holy Spirit was showing up just as we talked about Him and what He does. I don’t know if you know the time where Gods presence is thick and you don’t want to say anything or move cause it is so deep. But that is what happened there, we just started praying and then a silence fell over us all and no one was talking for a while. Its not a common thing in this culture to be spending time with God and being completely quite. I was really blown away by it. I had a few times were my mind was like move on, I’m so glad I didn’t try to rush God because It was so good and so deep. God spoke to me there and said I am doing things in you all Right Now that will effect your future and mold you for your destiny. Wow! When the time came I shared that and we continued in the presence of the Holy Spirit. I felt the Holy Spirit tell me that one of the guys had something to share. Right before I asked him if he did he said I feel God is telling me that we need to continue studying His word and taking time like this together.
What an awesome time we had. Just a little bit later some other guys got home from school. One of them came over to me and said, “I’m annoyed right now and do you want to know why? I’ve been waiting all day to have a bible study with you and you have had one before we all got back”. I said don’t worry Amoli we can have another one together this evening. He was like “oh that is ok then. You know we like the word of God here“. Later that evening we gathered around the camp fire and continued the Study on the Holy Spirit and His works. Oh man it was a Holy Spirit party. The guys and girls were praying in the Holy Spirit and laughter and joy were breaking out. God really loves His people.

I’ve just gotten back from Arua Uganda were I went for a few days to withdraw money and rest just a bit. God did refresh me and I got to eat a burger with bacon on it and swim in a pool while I was there. Isn’t that awesome!  That for sure wasn’t the best part of the trip though. The second night I was there I had just eaten at a Indian restaurant and was heading out when some guy there asked me something. I was called back cause I had forgotten my water bottle. At that time I felt led to stay there and not leave. So I got a chair and sat down with them and talked. God opened up doors to share with this one guy named Dharmesh about Jesus and the life He brings. It was amazing how the conversation started and how open he was. He told me; thanks so much for sharing this. I needed to hear that. He said he was going to go get a Bible tomorrow. I prayed for him and the Holy Spirit touched him deeply right there. I went back to my hotel and couldn’t stop praying for him. I asked God please let me meet him tomorrow. Well guess what God did! The next day I was going to buy a few things and was walking down the street. One of the guys who I was talking with last night walked up to me and said come here to my friends place. He brought me inside this shop and there was Dharmesh. Wow! I was able to continue sharing Jesus love and salvation with him showing him from God’s word what it means to be saved. He said at first “I’m confused how do I do it.” I shared with him that its faith from the heart in Jesus Christ and what He has done. Right there as he was working in the shop he prayed with me to receive the eternal gift of God and repent of his sins. Yea! Another sinner has repented and found eternal life, now no longer a sinner but a child of God. Please pray for him whenever you think about him. I also am so blessed by all your prayers and support. I’m getting ready to head back to the States in around a week now. God bless you all!
