Isaiah 58:6-8

Isaiah 58:6-8 (NIV) 6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?

The Lord has placed something in our hearts as we grow in the spirit.. We begin to see the lives as others more meaningful regardless of their trades, successes and families... We hear or see of someone in need and begin to feel a pull at the strings in our hearts attached to the slight lump that forms in the throat and the quizziness on the pits of our stomachs, Some of us find tears and the urge to do more at any cost..

The greatest gift I have realized God has given me to pass onto my children is that very presence of God in my life and that very longing to serve as many as The Lord will allow.. I have always had this certain pull in me to love unconditionally but it wasn't before the Holy spirit took flight that I realized how powerful and supernatural this could be for anyone who just believed in The Promises of The Lord...

The idea of "Thessalonians Faith" came to me about a month after The spirit urged me to do something for others from far away.. I was speaking with a brother in Christ from Africa and he was explaining to me the false religions that have conquered this part of the world. He described some images he faced daily while assisting where he could in a place where it seemed had no ends to the poverty and abandonment from all humanity... It was confirmed a million times over in my lifetime watching programs of missionaries in all parts of this continent and many others seeking help to feed the hungry and clothe the naked..

So I spoke with my daughters about what the spirit was leading us to do. I explained to them God wants us to do more.. Their response was expected from children of innocence.. No concerns of the challenges ahead or the false ideas that most adults are burdened with as the devil fills them with that doubt or deceit against another in need..

We began to collect materials for Africa.. The girls and I began asking friends and family for collections of clothing, infants needs, shoes, toys etc... We agreed we needed help on this endeavor of Gods and that with His Strength and Will it can be done.. Spent time in prayer seeking answers for His mission.

After a few weeks We received multiple bags of clothes from so many willing to provide the need for others... Additional items being dropped at the house, coming home to finding more treasures for these beautiful children lost in Africa that God has chosen us to love unconditionally.. It was an amazing experience to share with my daughters.. We asked the girls who participated in our bible study group on Sundays to assist us with the packaging of the items on our scheduled times.

For weeks we were buried in clothes and other items.. Smiles and excitement from the children, awes and ewes of the baby clothes they were packing away.. As we worked together for Christ their conversations remained in the spirit... Joy filled the hearts as if they were the ones receiving the gifts.. This verse really begins to speak to me as I give thanks to Jesus for setting the stage

Isaiah 58: 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

I first doubted the calling when it first came.. I will say to you it could have been a great mistake had I listened to the devil and ignored what God said can be done in His name.. I thought how can I do this I cant even afford my own family? God reminds me you cant but I can! I thought okay this is too much work, to much hassle, to much red tape and no one wants to help.. God responded I gave you the assignment I will provide all that you will need to share in my love.. He made it clear to me this was going to be done.
This is a place in his creation where Gods love is refused and snuffed out by voodoo or disbelief in Jesus' way to LOVE one another. The commandment that leads us to Him is being completely snuffed out by the leaders of this place who have come to follow the evil one..
Matthew 22:37-39 (NIV) 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[a] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[b]
God spoke truth and when there is truth there is no denial!

This verse confirms all that The Lord has placed on my heart to share with the daughters He has gifted me with.. To lead them into a place in their hearts where only God can be the ruler and saver..

Isaiah 58:8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness [a] will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

I ask that you allow the spirit always to lead you.. do not listen to the voice of satan who questions or disapproves of someones ability to care for them selves or their OWN kind... Begin by teaching your children to intercede for another who is need by prayer and gifts of love.. GODS LOVE.. We have all been blessed with gifts, these gifts are very different but all from the same spirit.. Allow your heart to lead you to help others always.. We easily doubt someones motive of charity, and we do this out loud where our children are effected.. Their hearts are corrupted by our verbal abuse against the request of the Lord.... Brothers and sisters what we need to claim is our refusal to give to others and our denial of public affections for others that we leave to our future generations.. Open your spirit and inspire and encourage the youth for this is the generation that can change nations and by FAITH MOVE MOUNTAINS!

God Bless you
I love you

LOL! Kristie you are telling the truth. We had an outreach like that in our neighborhood once. My son and husband walked our block praying and claiming it for Jesus. Like you we started telling people and money, clothes, food, came in. My kids were so excited..especially when one little girl came up and picked out my daughters old coat, she asked could she have it and my daughter said yes it's yours, and the little girl began to jump up and down with joy. At the end my kids not only learned to serve but they were able to see the power of God move as 18 souls came to Jesus. Keep it up Girl!(-:
