Spiritual Warfare/Covenant Commitment (week 7)

Hi,

My name is Rachele, I'm almost 24 years and I am from Italy.

I heard about the Discipleship School in Pescara at a conference whose topic was "Faith moves mountains," last December.

For a few months I have been thinking to take some time apart for my relationship with God, so these 5 months of training on the Word of God and community life seemed ideal to me.

Now seven weeks have passed by and I fear that this experience will finish before I can be ready on to walk the journey that God has for me on my own.

Last week Beto talked to us about the Spiritual Battle and the Covenant with God

Acknowledging the value of the spiritual world and its effects on the reality here on Earth was essential to encourage us to want to become the army of Christ, ready to be trained by the Truth that is in Jesus Christ.

Although a bit fantastic as a picture, I really like to think that we are preparing to become soldiers of Christ just like real fighters: training, determination, teamwork, service and of course the armour of the God, polished, tailored and strong ....

And at the end of the day, when we finish the training we can take a moment of rest and communion in the safe haven of our base.

Last Friday night we had a beautiful happening, Raquel called it "bazaar of generosity".It was a time for everyone to bring gifts for someone else. God truly blessed us and we could not stop because it was so nice to be guided by the Lord in giving to someone what we had just received shortly before. It was awesome!

Next week, the director of our school; Raquel Tavares, will teach on forgiveness: which, by the way, is a key to being a warrior.

One more thing! It's something I found out this week: seeking the Lord at dawn walking on the beach is very uplifting. Well, to be honest getting up so early is not easy but once you are out on the road you can enjoy the beauty of creation in the morning with its golden lights, it was not just beautiful, but sublime.

See you ...
