Testimony and a word to share with you.

There is a verse the Lord gave me many times through His servants. First through one friend who is with Him now when I wrote this to Him:

Father God, I call to You,
Listen to my troubled mind
Consider my pain and sorrow.

You are my God, my everything.
You are there in every circumstance.
You hear me even when I do not hear You.

I await your answers and wisdom.
I will be nowhere without You.
Draw me closer, draw nearer to me.

Give me understanding and discernment.
Calm my anxious head, forgive my worries.
Help me to trust you more and fully.

Can I call a friend and get peace?
No, only from you can I find relief.
I find rest only in You.

You will take vengeance upon the enemy,
For they have done much to cause trouble,
They wish to ruin your plan, so they cast stones.

The enemy will not win, because your strength is greater,
Nothing can overpower You, you will raise me up,
You will feed me with your strength and sound mind.

Through You I will succeed and find the solution.
This stone from the enemy will crumble beneath my feet,
As your power flows through me, and restores my soul.

Lead me through this storm, and bring me out a warrior.
Rise me up from your mercies and power and use me by your will.
Send your Holy Spirit, and refresh me and train me in this fire.

You will, I know, praise You Lord!
Nothing compares to You and I will grow strong;
As You remain, I will succeed by your hand.

Thank You Lord for not leaving me.
Praise You for your mercy and grace.
Your kindness and love never cease.

Nothing I can write can truly describe You.
Thanks for being here with me in my troubles.
There is none like You.

Then He gave it to me again through another friend who has a good heart for reaching the poor and lost for Him. Here is what He gave me:

Lamentations 3:24-33

24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”

25 The Lord is good to those who depend on him,
to those who search for him.
26 So it is good to wait quietly
for salvation from the Lord.
27 And it is good for people to submit at an early age
to the yoke of his discipline:

28 Let them sit alone in silence
beneath the Lord’s demands.
29 Let them lie face down in the dust,
for there may be hope at last.
30 Let them turn the other cheek to those who strike them
and accept the insults of their enemies.

31 For no one is abandoned
by the Lord forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion
because of the greatness of his unfailing love.
33 For he does not enjoy hurting people
or causing them sorrow.

Recently the Lord had me read Exodus 3:1-14 and the Lord reminded me to look at the verses in Lamentations that day through there. The last time God had me look at those verses in Lamentations, He notified me that I will do work in missions, it seems it is short-term missions. It came on my heart to study Thai and Chinese.. That day I heard it very clearly that I must learn Thai language and prepare for missions. I can tell you these verses in Lamentations the Lord has proven to me in my experiences He does not abandon, and though I had walked through the valley of the shadow of death, God anoints me and I am receiving His blessings abundantly, even that I receive rest and eat in the presence of the enemy, because He is with me. God has shown me great mercy. Because of His unfailing love I have seen much change over the past few weeks. Great things I have seen for all the time I have been waiting on Him and obeying Him. It truly is good to submit to Him. The Lord is faithful and loves His children, and rewards those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:5-7)

Therefore I must obey the Lord and learn the Thai language and prepare for missions now.

I can tell you God is doing great things in Thailand. He is bringing His people back to Him. The Lord is sending more workers and many Thai people are coming to Jesus. He will harvest His people for His glory. Many Thai people are coming out of bondage and darkness to serve Him and join His army. To be His bride, the bride of Christ. Nothing will stop what the Lord has started. Many will see even now, that He is the Lord, and He alone is God, and He is there, here, and everywhere. God is with them wherever they will go. The time of the harvest for His people is at hand. It is a time of breaking through the darkness to His light. A time of deliverance and salvation. A time for callings to be known. More people will know what they are to do for the Lord, and He will be glorified. This is His plan, and the time for fulfillment is at hand.

The Lord is sending me too. Please pray for me that I will diligently prepare for this and learn well. I want to do as the Lord has called me to do. He alone is my portion, my source, my life, and I have a strong conviction to help others find Him too. God bless you.
