Hi Mexico Team
Scribbling some notes for you. My heart raced when I was reminded of Luke 4:18/19 and how that is a promise we can see fulfilled before our eyes. It really quickened the beating of my own heart towards the Almighty God, who is not just the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, but yours and mine.
Luke 4:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released,
that the blind will see,
that the oppressed will be set free,
19 and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come
The same Spirit that led Jesus, came upon him with power from the Almighty God, also came upon us to bring the gospel to the poor. I am so in awe. We who were once spiritually bankrupt, got to receive an inheritance that righteousness could not even buy? We were anointed to bring Jesus to the spiritually and physically impoverished. What a privilege. This scripture and promise is fulfilled in our hearing, as we hear Him call, "speak of me - this is the time of the LORD's favor".
Will you join our LORD who has such a heart for those who are enslaved by sin and selfish lust, that they can be set free by our Savior's blood. The blind will see agin; they who can't see with their eyes or the eyes of their heart, can see again! Those who are down-casted, outcasted, without the approval of society, considered as dirt, treated like used slaves,.. these are the ones that Jesus came to bought their freedom.
Today is the day of salvation. The Lord's favor has come. Let us surrender to Him so that we may be simple washing bins to broken and weary souls. Will you be His voice? Will you cry out and call out to Him on behalf of the blind, the oppressed, the captives, the afflicted, the orphaned, the widowed and the poor? Lord Jesus, can you set free those that cannot wait to be delivered from trafficking, from drugs, from alcohol, from poverty, from hopelessness, from famine, from pride, from riches that corrupt, from self sufficiency, from self-righteousness, from religious facade, from abuse, from addictions, from fornication, from adultery, from depression, from loneliness, from broken homes and marriages,.... can your Spirit be free to do your bidding in us, and through us?
You are the called out ones, my friends. Let's seek the LORD's face together for Merida, Tabi and Hocaba. He wills to do miracles in and through us, He wills to change lives, to restore lives, to mend hearts, to bring hope, bring deliverance, and none to perish.
Blessings, Bel
