Hey there friends,
The simple things about life are really the things that mostly blow my mind. God takes a silly random situation and turns it into an extravagant adventure. We have only been in Fiji for a little over two weeks, but that seems too short when I reminisce on all the amazing events that have taken place and the times God has shown up. Before I came to this school I would never think that I, Eleanor, would have the confidence to preach. Before I came to this school I would never be able to believe that I, Eleanor, have power in Jesus's name to lay hands on people and see them healed. Before I came to this school I would never of been able to comprehend that I, Eleanor, would have the authority to be building up the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. But I, Eleanor, would have never been able to accomplish a single thing without the grace and love and blood of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Just last week I was in this beautiful valley in a village in Fiji, my nine other team mates and I were all squished inside a tiny church building that was only made of a tin roof and a few wooden beams and the earth being separated by only a single bamboo mat. Luckily we had mosquito nets thank you Jesus! We bathed in a river for the week, and every where I looked I would see breath taking mountains and stormy clouds. Anyways, this Church was so filled with God's presence it was incredible! One day we were preaching at church, and I was so distracted that day. It was like I couldn't grasp my thoughts or focus. And when it came time for ministry and to pray for people, I just stood up at the front not really feeling God's anointing. An old Indian lady came up to me and asked for prayer for her arm because it was in horrible pain, so I did. And instantly the pain left. I was shocked. And then my friend Holly asked me to pray with her for a woman who was def in one ear. So we did, and instantly again she could HEAR. Like actually HEAR. It was amazing. By that time my heart was pounding so hard, I didn't have to feel any certain anointing at all. All I had to do was lay hands on people, release the Kingdom of God on the person, and Jesus's healing touch would cover the rest.
After the service was over Holly and I decided to go on a walk and we found some cheap 20cent popsicles. They were actually quite disgusting, but when we started to leave the house this Muslim man asked Holly and I to pray for a woman who couldn't hear. So we prayed and asked God to heal her, claimed the Kingdom of God over her, and she wash healed. Her face LIT up she started laughing and pinching our cheeks. It was incredible.
It has been just little random events that God has been showing up at. I am so HONORED to be God's humble servant, to go to the places I never dreamed of just to spread His Kingdom. Its truly exhilarating. Go God!!
Missing you all, keep me in your prayers!
Things to pray for...
Bed bugs
Stomach sickness has been pretty bad in the team
Finances!!
More healings and more people getting fired up for the Kingdom of God!
Thank you SO much!!!
