Always Enough
So my mom (who God seems bent on using to influence my spiritual journey these days!!) lets me borrow a book she has just been given. It’s the story of a missionary couple who work in Mozambique and the incredible revival that has been going on there. It is truly an amazing story of God’s power in the face of incredible spiritual and material poverty and disease. This couple has a radical all-out ministry bringing God’s power into the lives of those who need it the very most. They are not church planters per se neither are they called to holistic ministry. They simply reach out to individuals one at a time with the love of God. They go out into streets, garbage dumps, homes of prostitution. They meet people who are dying, people who wish they would die. They don’t come with a great plan, with food or supplies or Bible, they come instead with prayer, with worship, with the preaching of God’s word. And God provides all the rest.
These people have seen God do miracles that we have never begun to ask for; healings, feedings, raising from the dead. God has reached an amazing number of Mozambique hearts through His power. Power not to do the great things, but to give joy where there is nothing to be joyful about, except Him. These people remain impoverished, oftentimes remain ill, remain stranded in terrible conditions by natural disasters, remain scarred by horrible pasts. But the Lord has filled them up and they lack for nothing; they are full of His joy.
I have been changed by this book. Have begun to grasp the greatness of God’s power and the lack of faith that we have. Have begun to understand that all we bring to others is access to Him. And that HE is always enough, for everything. We don’t need anything else.
Read Always Enough. Moving moutains is over rated, moving hearts to know Him is what it’s all about.




Thanks for the post, Annelise. It’s a very encouraging word. And a good reminder to me that Jesus is always enough–if I just trust Him to be.
