I have been in Front Line Ministry for the past…
I have been in Front Line Ministry for the past 5 years. Down in the trenches on the front line of the battlefield of spiritual warfare. I always knew I was being called by God. And after overcoming my own struggles I’m now being used by God to combat the very things that had me ensnared. Instead of working with Suburban families and church on Sundays and Wednesdays and fellowship cookouts and dinners, I am on 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. I get tired, but I can’t be tired. I get worn out, but I’m required to push through it. I don’t get much sleep but I need full cognitive function. Live experience the power of Christ because there have been days I have been so tired and beat up I don’t even feel like I could crawl out of bed and I pray for strength and it feels like I’ve gotten the second wind. I work with people daily who are murderers and rapists adulterers and drug addicts and homeless. People who aren’t just unsure of whether or not they believe in God, but people who threw through own vices such as drug addiction and drunkenness and sexual immorality and homosexuality have had their entire lives destroyed. People who have nowhere to go and no family to help them. People who passionately hate God but they’re still searching for answers. Most of my sustenance comes from coffee and energy drinks and ibuprofen and the word of God. I’m constantly being drained and have a very limited time to get refilled. And I love it. I’ve learned the meaning of the word surrender. I know what it’s like to fully rely on God. I’ve been in situations where there is no Back-up Plan danger is always eminent and without divine intervention, you’re going to starve. You’re not going to make it. I had always read and studied my Bible through my addiction. And then when I started my journey to get back on the Narrow Path God took all that useless head knowledge I had and he bridge the gap between my head and my heart through personal experiences. And he has shown me his power and then I can rely on him no matter what. I was just wondering if anyone out there is in this kind of ministry? At what advice you might have?
