As I stood up to speak to 9 students for a week of lecture with my friend Chris Chun, my heart was racing. I had prepared for speaking and sharing what God put on my heart, but I was still nervous. As my heart beat faster, I opened with a word of prayer and gave the week to the Lord. My heart did not stop racing, but the love of God became my focus. I spoke the first and second day on the love and mercy of God, as well as the holy Spirit. The Lord truly was casting out fear each day as I spoke on His wonderful love. Myself and Chris made great connections with the 9 students and I truly feel we were used by god this week. Praise God!
I have always had a great fear of speaking in front of others, especially for a long time. I tend to speak fast too, so I did not know how I was going to share God's love with them. At the end of the week however, one student named Paul said that he was "truly encouraged by our testimonies and thought we were walking with God." He shared that His heart had been turned from church after witnessing so much religiosity, but that our coming encouraged him to be sold out for God again. Thank you JESUS!
Amazing week of sharing in DTS. I will be speaking on my own Monday-Wednesday this coming week. Please keep praying. Bless you all!
So awesome to read what God is doing in your life and in the students. Keep Him as the center and He will do the rest. love and huge blessings!
