God Can Do Miracles!

I just returned from an 18 day Mission trip to El Salvador. I helped lead a team of 17 teenagers that were from all over the United States. We partnered with some local pastors there for daily ministry. Each morning we would go to a school and put on a Vacation Bible School for about 120 elementary children and 50 teenagers. After we finished there we headed to a local private High School where we went into the classrooms and helped them practice their English through different topics. At the end of the week we presented a drama to the VBS and the High School and then gave the gospel message. In the afternoons we headed to parks and neighborhoods to present skits, the drama and the gospel message. People gave their lives to the Lord and we saw many miraculous healings. It was exciting to watch God move through all of us. I know we were able to change the lives of many people in El Salvador and give them hope they did not have. Our teams were also able to support and encourage the local pastors. I know each of us came back personally changed in many ways.
I came away with more boldness and faith than I had before going. For those of you who know me I have quite a bit of boldness and faith in God especially in light of everything God has taken me through this year. I was hesitant to go on this trip due to all the lifestyle changes I have in place to help beat this cancer. I desperately wanted to go though because I know the impact these trips have on so many people's lives and I wanted to be used by God to make a difference. I decided to step out in faith and just continue to trust Him as I have all year. I was able to eat some of the food there but mostly I lived off what I brought in my suitcase. I was just so happy to be on the mission field that I didn't care. The first night we were in Garden Valley Texas for training the worship team sang a song by Planet Shakers called Healer. I encourage you to go to YouTube and watch it. It is a powerful song.
These are the words:
Hold my every moment, Calm my raging sea
Walk with me through fire, Heal all my disease
I trust in you, I trust in you
I believe you're my healer, I believe you are all I need.
I believe you're my portion, I believe you're more than enough for me
Jesus you're all I need
Nothing is impossible for you. Nothing is impossible.
Nothing is impossible for you. You hold my world in your hands.

As I sang these words the truth of them poured into my spirit. Cancer does not hold my life or my world in its hands, God does. He is my healer. He can heal my cancer. Nothing is impossible for Him. I will continue to trust in Him. I was filled again with a deep compassion for those who desperately need a healing. As we went to El Salvador I prayed with faith, trusting God for those who needed a physical healing. God was faithful and healed so many people that I was able to pray for.

My encouragement to you is to continue to trust in God. Don't wait until the giant in your land is slain. Let God use you even while you are in the midst of your own battles. Ask Him to help you see others through His eyes. Don't miss any divine appointments He has for you. Start each day by saying good morning to God then tell Him you are willing and ready to be used any way He wants! Get ready to change lives through the power He gives you! Nothing is impossible for God.
