<< REWIND << >PLAY> Enemy Identified. Time for War - Enemigo Identificado. Tiempo de Guerra

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. Mathew 11:12

Desde los días de Juan el Bautista hasta ahora, el reino de los cielos ha venido avanzando contra viento y marea, y los violentos lo conquistan por la fuerza. 11:12
I had the beautiful privilage of translating for another very spirit filled woman, one of my good freinds, mentor, ecourager, challenger... (the list is endless of what she is to me) Sarah. Mother of two incredible little boys, Joshua and Caleb, and wife of my former DTS leader, Ryan, mentor, stirrer of hunger for God{s glory and kingdom come... (again the list is endless).

I was able to stand alongside of her and wage war, advance the kingdom of heaven, while exposing the enemy, and sharing about the war that we were born into and starts the moment we realize that we are in the middle of it.

Two things that stuck with me from the teaching (having gone through it 2 years ago, and now translating for this DTS) We need to be AWARE of our enemy but IMPRESSED by God... you can{t worry and trust God at the same time - whew- (raises guilty of not trusting God)

It was such a remarkable sight. Seeing the students challenged, encouraged, empowered, and then commissioned by God to get out of their chairs, pick up their armor, and take a stand against their enemy for the kingdom of God.

I saw God{s heart for healing this week as well, as some of what was taught last week trickled into this week. First in my life (which will be it{s own blog post to be released on tuesday), and then in the lives of at least 2 of the students, one of whom i{m sure to be a lifelong friend.

I just love Jesus....

Tuve la bella privelegio de traducir para otra mujer muy llena del espiritu, una de mis buenas amigas, mentores, animador, retor... (la lista no tiene fin de quien ella es para mi) Sarah. Madre a dos hijos increibles, Josue y Caleb, y esposa de mi lider de la EDE, Ryan, mentor, alguien que mueve y causa hambre para la gloria del reino de Dios, (otra vez la lista no tiene fin)

Yo pude estar al lado de Sarah, para luchar, y avenzar el reino del cielo, mientras que revelamos los tacticos del enemigo, y compartiamos acerca de la guerra en que nosotros naciamos, y empezamos el momento que nos damos cuenta que ya estamos en medio de ella.

Dos cosas que resaltaron para mi en su ense`ianza (despues de haber escuchado este ense~anza hace 2 a~os y ahorra a traducirlo para la EDE) tenemos que estar pendientes de nuestro enemigo pero impresionado por Dios... y no puedes preocuparte y confiar en Dios a la vez... uy! (estoy culpable de no confiar en Dios...)

Fue algo muy impactante lo que vi. Ver los estudiantes, retados, animados, empoderados, y commisionados de Dios de salir de sus sillas, recoger su armadura, y tomar su lugar de pie contra el enemigo para el reino de Dios.

Vi el corazon de Dios para sanidad esta semana, como parte de lo que aprendimos la semana pasada surgio durante esta semana. Primero en mi vida ( que va a ser su propia "post") y luego en la vida de por lo menos 2 de los estudiantes, una de ellas, se que va a ser una amiga de la vida.

Simplemente amo a Jesus....

<< REWIND << >PLAY> JUCUM San Jose

We have to rewind a bit because I didn{t share about my INCREDIBLE experience in San Jose.

At first I was pretty nervous to be going, not knowing any body who lived on base. But God totally was watching out for me in this and it turned out that one of my friends from the Heredia base was going to be helping with Mission Adventures at the San Jose base. Knowing one person on base was really grounding. Not to mention that the moment I arrived I was greeted with the sweet kiss of this enveloping peace and presence of God that just DWELLS there. Yep, God definately has me covered.

The first week I was translating for my friend Kristy on inner healing. I love translating for really spirit filled people, its like her annointing and peace just rested on me when I translated, like a cloth that was just draped over me. I saw Jesus doing some HUGE stuff in the classroom, and being able to be a part of that and interceeding really touched me. It was so neat to see God moving so strongly and bringing so much freedom to the DTS students, the staff, and even myself. I{m also really grateful in that it{s like a little toe dipping time, getting my feet wet before running and jumping off the deep end in Arizona....

I was so blessed this week to hear the heart stories of such amazing women. I{m forever marked by them, and just love how God connects us. It was a time of encouragement, and intimacy, open hearts thirsty for all that God has to pour into each one.

¨I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.¨ - Ezekiel 11:19

----------------------------------------------
Tenemos que devolvernos un poco porque no comparti acerca de mi tiempo INCREIBLE que experimente en San Jose.

Al principio estuve un poco nerviosa, al no saber nadien que vivia en la base. Pero Dios estaba quidando de mi en esto y surgio que uno de mis amigos de la base de Heredia iba estar ayudando con Aventuras Misioneras en la base de San Jose. Conociendo a una persona fue algo que me aseguro. Ademas de eso, el momento que llegue fue saludada por el dulce beso de el paz que me cubria y la presencia de dios INHABITA ese lugar. Si, Dios me esta cuidando.

La primera semana que estuve traduciendo para Kristy acerca de sanidad interior. Me encanta traduciendo para gente que estan lleno de del espiritu santo, es como su uncion y paz reposaba sobre mi mientras que traduje, como un manto que cayo sobre mi. Vi a Jesus haciendo GRANDES cosas en el aula, y poder ser parte de eso intercediendo me toco. Fue bueno ver Dios mover tan fuerte y traendo libertad en las vidas de los estudiantes, el personal, y en mi vida. Estoy tan agradecida por esto. Es como que puse mi dedo en una picina, mojando los pies antes de correr y brincar a la profundidad en Arizona.

Estuve bendecida esta semana de escuchar las estorias de los corazones de unas mujeres muy asombrantes. Estoy marcada por siempre por ellas, y me encanta como Dios nos conecta. Fue un tiempo de animo, intimidad, y corazones abiertos y sedientos para todo de lo que Dios queire derramar en cada uno de nosotras.

Yo les daré un solo corazón y pondré un espíritu nuevo dentro de ellos. Y quitaré de su carne el corazón de piedra y les daré un corazón de carne Ezekiel 11:19

Change My Heart

So you know those people who when they get online, you can't help but roll your eyes... I was so passive talking with someone tonight, I could've just cried. I did not want to chat with her, but something kept me there. She starts to pour out her heart... JESUS???? WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS????? walls go up inside me, I start doing something else online. I don't want to touch this with a ten foot pole. Why? Pride and Fear mostly. What if what I say isn't enough? she keeps sharing. Desperately crying out for help. So i pray, and God gives me the words, a heart for her, and a lesson in humility along with it... because freedom was brought to this young woman's life. YEP, inner healing happens over the internet- but it's all Jesus, and not me. It is his compassion for this child of his (The Lord knows I didn't have any to offer when we started.)

Jesus, take this heart, purify its motives, that my heart would be where yours is
