Killing the Giants

One full week has passed and another begins. Last weeks theme for project was "Thirsting to Know HIM." That theme was focusing on walking empowered by the Holy Spirit and practicing what is called Spiritual Breathing throughout the day. Spiritual Breathing is a word picture that Campus Crusade for Christ uses which can help you experience moment-by-moment dependence upon the Spirit. The first part of the process is Exhale: Confess your sin the moment you become aware of it--agree with God concerning it and thank Him for His forgiveness, according to 1 John 1:9 and Hebrews 10:1-25. Confession requires repentance--a change in attitude and action. The second part of the process is Inhale: Surrender control of your life to Christ, and rely upon the Holy Spirit to fill you with His presence and power by faith, according to His command (Ephesians 5:18) and promise (1 John 5:14, 15). During "Thirsting to Know HIM, I was able to get into two spiritual conversations and was able to share the Gospel with a guy named Matt. It is truly amazing to be able to go out in confidence knowing the Spirit is empowering you as you get into spiritual conversations and share your faith and testimony to total strangers.

I also finished my first week of work at The Fudgery in Myrtle Beach. It is located at an outlet mall 15 min away from where I live. My job title is a candymaker and I make fresh fudge throughout the day and sing and perform for customers. I have spent many nights in bed trying to go to sleep with a fudge song stuck in my head. "There ain't no mountain high enough, There ain't no valley low enough, There ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from gettin' to my fudge." Even though a lot of my day is spent at work, one of the main aspects of Summer Project is Evangelism. Which leads to this week's theme.

Killing the Giants. Based off the Biblical story of David and Goliath, this week we are to "kill our giants" in regards to Evangelism. Each person set a personal goal Sunday on the amount of spiritual conversations and the number of gospel presentations for the week. We were encouraged to set high goals and see how God will provide throughout the week as you go out sharing the news of Christ.

I ask that as I go out sharing this week you would join me in praying that God would continually empower me with the Holy Spirit that He may work through me and give me the words to speak as I get into conversations. Also that God would set up divine appointments where he set apart people throughout the week and open their hearts to be open for spiritual conversations. Lastly that I would focus on God's plan and be Bold and Fearless in sharing the Gospel.

Many Thanks and God Bless
