will live to seach you out
Your treasures
I will find
May Your Kingdom come forth in me
Like the fruit of Your love

Your Love has cloaked me
with divine drops
sweet blood of Jesus
Glorious lamb

Holy Passion
You`ve loved me so
A love that surrender
edendless love for my soul

I am in Beira, a 3 day trip on the back of a truck from Pemba. I think I will return to Pemba monday or tuesday; please pray for me and as soon as I am established I will try to post some of my experiences; so far I`ve prayed for one deaf and one blind woman, they were both healed by the Love and Divine Grace of my Lover, Jesus... =D

I love you
will live to seach you out
Your treasures
I will find
May Your Kingdom come forth in me
Like the fruit of Your love

luku orera!

It is amazing that I have been here for only 1 week and I already feel like a new person. My heart has been so crushed and I've come to realize how dependent I have to be on God`s Love and Power if I want to be His Love to others. At the same time that I've been pouring love into everyone's heart that I see around the lovesickness in me for more of Him grows at each minute. The windows of my eyes have been broken and I can`t hold back the rivers that have been flowing from me, tears after tears I come to be confronted with who I am and most specially with whom I am not; God has been showing himself powerfully by putting me in front of a spiritual mirror and making me see and understand who I have been designed to be.


There is nothing that I can pour into others that I haven't first seeked in secret. Everything in my life has to be a result of intimacy and of my relationship with Him and the more I try to take this by my own hands I realize that the more tired and worn out I become because the true Strength can only come from my Lover, from my Jesus, from His Joy which is manifested in the smiles of Dino, or the sincere hugs of Jose, Abdul, Antonio, through Emanuel and Kassya, through all my new mozambican brothers who run to be screaming " mano Paulo, mano Paulo" .


kenan pella iesu! luku orera! (I want Jesus! God is good!)

13/10 - There is more

"I will get up now and go about the city, though its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did not find him. The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. Have you seen the one my heart loves? Scarcely I passed them when I found the one my heart loves!" Songs of Solomon 3:2-4
The more I have the chance to spend time with my new Mozambican brothers and grow along with them the more my heart goes desperate for the One it loves. God, where are you? I have discovered that the essence and the reality of who Jesus truly is, is manifested through the cities, the squares; And I will only be able to find Him when I go seek him. I have seen God more in the eyes of the small children ofr the simple village people in the past 2 days than I've experienced anywhere else in my entire life;
I am little by little starting to find the diamonds hidden in the hearts of each one here. Diamonds of Love, Grace and Joy. God has been speaking to me strongly about always having plenty to give me despite of however much I desire from Him; He is an eternal and everlasting God with a never ending resource to pour over me with a constant renewal and refreshment. So I speak hope and abundance to all who read this, God has more than we can imagine. God has always more to fulfill all our expectations and go even beyond them.
There is more! I have found the one my heart loves!

the day I fell in love (11/10)

Today I arrived in Pemba, a small city in the northern part of Mozambique. Through the past months God has been taking me through moments when I've been pushed to a place where I have no control over my life; God has me in all ways and nothing in my life that exists outside of his control I want anymore. It is incredible how everything I look at here in Pemba reflects God and points me in his direction.
Today I fell in love. I fell in love with my Maker, with the One that is the only purpose of my life. I feel in love with a nation that has become mine, I feel in love with a sincere smile of a little kid who wants nothing else but a hug. I have started to find the diamonds that God has set apart for me. I still feel empty on my inside and desperate to just be with Him but I have seen my Jesus everywhere around. Mozambique has made me fall in love like I haven't been in a long time. I don't want Jesus to only carry your love, but to be that Love for these diamonds, I know that from me I have nothing but with you I have beyond everything.
God, I am yours. take all of me, please come. Come and rip from my heart everything that still pushes your Holy Spirit away. Thank you Papa.

undone

You know the feeling when you're excited and anticipating all the great experiences and things that are prepared for you but at the same time you just feel really really strong in your heart that you're simply not ready for any of it? The closer in that the day comes the more I feel unprepared for everything. I remember I used to pray asking God to make me feel certain and sure and filled with His assurance and presence when the time came for me to step out and walk upon all the promises and things He shared with me but now that through my human eyes I see so many clear directions from God showing me that the time is arriving I feel empty inside, I feel unprepared, undone, uncertain of what I'm actually suppose to do.

And I just feel the Spirit of God pushing me out of my comfort and almost every hour that goes by confronting me with Truths and revelations that break my heart and make me see that I have nothing from my own self and that I have to feel empty on my inside because in the bottom line God has me, He is the ONLY ANSWER to all the questions I've always made myself, He is the only one capable of fulfilling what my heart longs for and I'm not really suppose to know what I'm gonna do, or if I'm not ready but I have to know that I'm am His and He is mine, and today I know that I know that I know that I know that only through my surrender I can achieve the dreams that were craved in my heart by the flame of God's love.

"Give it all up baby prince, because I wanna give you My Kingdom"

the silence of love...

I have finally bought the flight ticket to Mozambique. I have 5 more days until I leave towards the unknown. What is most amazing about the whole process of getting here is how empty I feel inside and unworthy. Unworthy of being gracefully blessed with some people around me, with blessings and favor from God. I have learned to listen to God in the silence of his voice.

You know what it feels like when you have a dream and desperately seek God above everything and everyone in your life and when you come before Him to hear his voice, you hear nothing but the beat of your heart? God, where are you? Why does it seem like you've forsaken me? And in truth it wasn't the beat of my heart I was listening to, but the beat of His heart, but I was oblivious to the fact that if I want to follow his voice anywhere I have to taste the sweetness of His silent words, or His breath. Understand how hard but overwhelmingly fulfilling it can be to walk not seeing anything or hearing anything but following a word that was given to you years ago; that is what God has been doing to me and little by little when I start realizing and noticing that the sound of His heart was what I was hearing all this time I start also seeing His hands moving once again and those smalls beats turn into melodies that are so sweet; So sweet that I can only fathom such sweetness after spending time in silence.

I today understand better that if my Jesus was silent with me it was only because He wanted me to truly know it was His voice that I was hearing. He wanted me to taste the honey of His words when they came and feel in my innermost how much He loves me.

"shuuuu..be silence my beloved. I want you to hear My Heart."
