With love from Pohnpei Micronesia


For we are the Body of Christ anointed for His good works, created for his good pleasure.

 
Hi Family and Friends,

I wanted to write and tell you how amazing God is. I am so glad He sent me here. I am so blessed. I arrived safely on Friday and since that time I have been welcomed with such love by the staff and my fellow students. God has given us such a spirit of unity and love for each other. It’s been instantaneous- no ice breaker camp type games required! We are family!

 My Jesus is so amazing he has been changing me every day- I am so overwhelmed by the love that he has for me. I feel like I am really beginning to transform like the butterfly. Before school even officially started he gave me a new picture of myself as someone that is so loved, so so loved. He has been refining me like gold- bringing up the dross in my life and gently removing it so that I would become more of a reflection of my King.


He has given me crazy boldness and I have felt free to dance during praise and worship again and as I did I sensed the metaphorical shackles been broken on my life.  Jesus is so good!  He has also renewed the picture of who he is in my life and I have this amazing fresh picture of my Daddy God loving me I can run to him like a child and He scoops me up and whirls me around in the middle of a meadow. He is wild about me. So crazy in love with me because I am his child it’s so good!

 

Today I really sensed this amazing boldness on my life. This afternoon I went to town in the back of the truck to do some shopping with some friends.  After a bit we stopped at this amazing smoothie shop that the Bible College Director runs with his family. He has a prayer room next to it, I went inside and just sensed God’s presence so sweet and so gentle and I was filled up with such joy. I then drank my smoothie and my 2 friends and I walked down the road some more. As we walked down the road together we came across 3 Mormons girls. I was able to speak to one of them- SR and just shared the Father’s heart with her and was able to pray with her. It was so crazy awesome! She really received it and was so blessed. Even now I pray that God would do a mighty work in her life.

Then, on the way home, we stopped so I could get some money out of the ATM for my friend, we saw the Governor of Pohnpei. We had, had a special welcoming service at the Governor’s House in town the day before which was how we recognised him. I went up to him to say thank you for being so welcoming to Iris Micronesia and then he allowed me to pray for me. I GOT TO PRAY FOR THE GOVERNOR of POHNPEI! He is such a good Christ-like man, someone so humble and he really cares about this island and his people. It was so wonderful to bless him and honour him.

 I am in awe about how amazing my Jesus is. He has given me a new heart, one full of passion and compassion. He has given me the opportunity to live on this beautiful island of Pohnpei, Micronesia and is going to send me out to the Nations to proclaim his name and use my beautiful hands and feet to love on the poor, the broken and the desperate all of the world!

I wonder though, do you know my Jesus? He loves you so much and wants to rebuild relationships with you. If you are tired and weary, come he wants you to sit and relax at his feet and rest. If you are lonely come, he wants to be your friend and your Father. If you are sad come Jesus wants to wipe your tears. If you feel dry then Jesus wants to come and fill you to overflowing to overflowing and then to overflowing some more with the water from the well that never runs dry.

 

My prayer as you read this- young and old, child or youth that you’d sense his love that you’d sense his heart for you. He calls us to be his sons and daughters, he wants to dance with us and give us dreams and visions.  If that speaks to you take a moment to sit in His presence He is with you. He loves you. He is wild about you. He is closer than breathing. Just say his name like you would if you were having a conversation. He is with you!

 

Please email me if you’d like me to pray for you and with you. flyredbutterflyATgmailDOTcom

 
I send all my love from the island of beautiful Pohnpei Micronesia.
