Anointed for Strength and Courage

Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses…Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right had or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. Joshua 1:3, 7

I want to give a “shout out” for the spiritual dream team that God put together for such a time as this. These people were anointed for courage, bravery and testimony. At a time when people are afraid to travel, these seven people bravely traveled to the other side of the world to obey the call of God. It was a sacrifice as they left families, homes and jobs, to obey the call of God and move into uncharted territory during a time when others have chosen not to travel for safety reasons. These seven brave souls bore the scrutiny of criticism from those who didn’t understand them for going to the Middle East at a time when many have canceled for fear. They had to make financial sacrifices during a time when many are holding on to every dollar because of the world’s economy. Some braved issues in their bodies because of health or age, some had to change job challenges and others had to inconvenience other people to care for their elderly parents or pets. Many sacrifices were made to make this trip from every individual and the one thing I can say for every person who traveled on this assignment was that they are generals and warriors in the spirit. They were not concerned for their lives; for they knew they were covered by the Blood of the Lamb. Although there was a travel advisory for Americans not to travel to the Middle East, they took no care or worry for their lives, because they knew that their reward is awaiting them in Heaven.

So, to the bravest men and women of God, who in my eyesight walked in the spirit of Joshua, Jehu and Paul, I say, “thank you.” Thank you, Prophetess Joyce Knight, Bro. Ed and Prophetess/Elder Sherri Neal, Elder Carolyn Coleman, Prophetess Sherry Reed, Pastor Tyrome Jamerson and Prophetess/Elder Jiljuana Coleman, who were all my co-laborers in Christ, who went as watchmen, intercessors and spiritual warriors. You didn’t have to go, but you did. You answered the call of God for your lives to do what you felt compelled to do. In the words of Elder Sherri Neal, “we went, we saw and we conquered.” I am exceedingly blessed to have been with this awesome and anointed dream team and I shout, Hallelujah, I thank God for the baddest dream team I know for a job that was well done. God bless you all richly.
