JamesCharles for Truth

im asking for hard focused prayerd as the HS leads for my time in turkey and this man... please pray for this man ... i got to give him the gospel last night after he tried to (gently kindly and smoothly) convert me to islam ... this was the follow up convo this morning also there are reportd of violence in turkey today but i cant figure exactly where or why yet ... Holy Spirit guide my every step and word

Once we begin to understand spiritual authority and how it touches what happens to us and for us on this earth, its like a spoonful of a new universe...and you realize "Lord i know nothing at all! open my eyes!" king David said "Open thou mine eyes that i may BEHOLD WONDROUS THINGS..."

This may be the cleanest city in the world ...certainly the cleanest I've been and certainly cleaner than all of America. No one litters ...and I've not seen one single homeless person. Actually I did...a couple with 2 small children but it is not common I think. I wonder why we are so trashy

They keep trying earnestly to convert me to Islam... but allow me to plant the seeds of thr Word that has promise all through our many long conversations

I landed 3 days ago in a city thousands year old city knowing no one ...no plans...no hotels...no working phone ...no turkish money ... and I landed at almost midnight! ...before I got off the plane I said "Lord you sent me here ...I ask you to direct my steps and reveal to me your purpose ...and also show me where to sleep tonight" Well that was 3 days ago....I've only spent about $10 a day so far...why? The people of Turkey have reached out their arms to me in every way .... Invite me to their homes ... Take me to dinner ... Invite me to 1am soccer tournaments! If I ask directions someone will take me to the station...pay for my ticket and accompany me to make sure I get off at the right place ... and Introunce me to someone else ... "No my friend, you cannot pay. You are our guest in turkey, don't spit on my kindness...if I come to America you can pay for everything" It has truly been one of the warmest places I've ever known ....maybe THE warmest...and God directs my steps as He promised He would

So many people are seeking God here ...and those that are not are getting squeezed so hard by the economy that they are beginning to  .. "I have seen no alcohol but I have yet to go to bed before sunrise as our talks last long INto the night over tea and turkish coffee "Pray ye the Lord of thr harvest to send Laboreres...for thr harvest is plentiful and the laborers are few"

I just watched the sun come up over Egypt and it took my breath away. God is leading His people in what seems like new and fresh ways...(or are we just now learning to listen?) Thru a rapid series of Dreams &Visions, answered prayers/provisions over thrnlast week, Ive embarked on a short notice journey of Obedience that has already had large unforseen obstacles and itinerary changes ... I'm learning to rely on God in the moment by moment and recognize some of the spiritual warfare and deception for what it is...not because im savvy like that but bc i keep asking Him to give me eyes to see thru what is meant to deceive me ... He's teaching me to trust completely and obey blindly ... It's exciting and its hella scary... Tactically speaking I've found I'm most effective when prayer warriors are praying for me in specific ways while few if any know where I'm at ... It's almost as if satan only knows what we speak out loud and the less we say for OpSec purposes the less info he has with which to launch counter attacks So for now I'll keep the deets vague but I ask that you would pray for WISDOM from above ... that God would connect me to those who are seeking Truth... That he would connect me to the underground church ... To those He has already visited in Dreams but dont yet know Jesus ... To those who live only to spread the gospel... And those who He is calling from Darkness into the Light ... I ask that you would pray that i would be invisible and untoucheable to dark forces and yes men... ...able to move about unseen and untouched by those forces of darkness that operate in the physical and the spiritual realms ... And That if "Greater Works than these" are meant for me that I would not fall short in faith or authority, or Obedience I'm going to use the hastag #ittakesamantoraiseone to add to my collection of thoughts and notes for my children I understand that some that read this will roll their eyes or scoff ...and that's okay... the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand To those who pray...thank you, may God give you a double portion of what you ask for me

There are 2 realms: Literally every incident in the physical realm must first be allowed or dictated in the spiritual Hence "...on earth as it is in heaven" Read that again

Do I have any friends that are Travel Agents ?

Well we found out the reason for thr flat ... At the next little town we found a tirestore and a customer was there who had a tire In my size ....mou tes and balanced for $25 ... But that's not all... He was recently saved and I could tell he was battling addiction and wanted to be free ... I kept getting the urge to step him outside and pray over him and annoi t hi. As off limits to the knowing spirit of a WhTever it was calling his name .... Finally I asked him what was calling his name and how often .... He said Cobain...4yr addiction he was trying to quit but felt his prayers were dull.... I anointed him in oil and spoke to thr spirit ... He called me last night and said he COULD NOT SCORE A HIT YESTERDAY!...Then remembered being annointed. He was so excited!!! That's God's mercies are new every morning! I woke up to this 3rd text ...then he asked me to disciple him Which is daunting to me God is good. And and His grace is sufficient.
