Muslim Ministry and Hearing God's Voice

I just had the most amazing experience. Have you ever been in Germany, talked to a  Muslim, and spoke Spanish all at the same time? Well that’s exactly what I just did. We had our first local outreach to Zittau, where we went to a refugee camp full of single men that all seemed to be creepily obsessed with my eyes.  Besides that, it was such a great experience that I will never forget.  He and I talked about the differences between  Muslim and Christianity, and really got into a heated discussion (all in Spanish, remember!) Sra. B would be so proud J  I told him pretty much everything I knew, and everything God told me to tell him. It ended with me asking him to just read the Bible and seeing how his life changes radically… and he AGREED! That doesn’t mean that he will give his life to Christ, but it’s a start. And that made me so happy. In the middle of our discussion when it seemed he wasn’t listening to me anymore, I just stopped and prayed “God, you can move mountains. You can melt a heart of stone. Please let him open his ears and listen to this information that I am telling him and let him accept it, God.” God was definitely listening to that prayer. So my first outreach was, in my eyes, a huge success.

 It’s amazing to me how God can speak to us and let us know what to say, who to talk to, when to speak, and when to listen. This week our topic of learning has been hearing the voice of God. And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. I have been listening to the lies of others and the Enemy and myself for so long, that I was drowning out God’s voice, not giving Him a chance to speak truth to me. And now that I’ve FINALLY let Him speak, He sure has been speaking some crazy stuff to me.  The main theme so far for me has been MASTERPIECE. I am God’s masterpiece, and every time I say I’m not beautiful, it’s like I slap God in the face.  It will be a constant struggle for me, but what God says is true, and I can’t pick and choose what truths I want to believe.  This YWAM experience has been absolutely amazing so far, and it hasn’t even been a full week yet. God is already doing radical things in my life, changing me in ways I didn’t think was possible.  And I can’t wait to see the person I will become in these next 6 months. I'm so giddy it's insane. I'll keep the updates coming! Love you all :)
