In Argentina
I am now in Argentina and am having a great time. We have been going through a conference called, "Encuentro Con Dios." In English that is, "Encounter with God." I am somewhat beyond what they are talking about; Open doors of sin, occult, bitterness, and unforgiveness, and those things that happened as children to cause a snare. But even though I have dealt with all these basics in the past I have been ministered to by the Lord at this time. I felt Him say in my heart, "Reach up and take my hands." I reached up with my hands in faith and I looked up and in my minds eye I saw a crown of thorns on the head of Jesus, and it was now a crown of glory. I felt Him say that when I have suffered for Him, that crown of suffering will be made into a crown of glory, just as when He suffered for us that crown of suffering was made into a crown of glory on his head.
One thing that has bothered me recently, as I have been getting ready to minister to others on this trip is the accusations of the devil. He says, "You can't minister to others. You are no good. You can't get right in this aria and that particular thing you did, you sinner!"
But God says to me, "I love you despite your failings. Do not listen to the lies of the evil one. I will deal with your failings of character in my time and in the order that I choose. Do not get ahead of me. I want to teach you right now about my love for you so that you can love others the same. I love you despite your character flaws and sins. You may not be able to change others who do you wrong but you can forgive them and love them regardless of whether they change their ways or not because this is how I love you."
This is what I have felt God saying to me at this time. I believe that God speaks to our hearts today if we will listen. Sometimes I have heard more clearly than others but God speaks today if we will stop to listen.
