Nations Shoes

Romans 10:15

15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" Standing in India!

The night air was cool and fresh, still moist from the constant rain that had been falling on Youngstown for days.

As I walked to my car at Victory Christian Center after the "Miracles, Signs & Wonders" Conference last night, I couldn't do anything but smile. I had overwhelming joy in my heart... I felt alive again, I felt like a missionary!

Why do you ask?

Because as I walked, I could feel the cool of the pavement and pebbles poking through my socks... I had given away my shoes.

It was a moment with Holy Spirit that I'll always remember, as I stood at the alter, hugging a future missionary and world changer, imparting what God has placed in my life and believing for her future!

I felt the nudge...

And I have to be honest, I wasn't jumping out of my shoes right away.

They were one of my favorite pairs. They were given to me by my Covie Lauren for my trip to India & Africa last year. I love them not just because their Chucks, but because they have nations dirt on them and they remind me as I wear them, that I'm promised to stand in the nations and walk in the Harvest fields.

It only lasted a moment... and the shoes were off! I didn't care if I drove all the way home barefoot- I'd much rather be obedient. You see this young womans heart beats for Africa and I knew God wanted to give her the same promise of standing in the nations.

Impartation is a beautiful thing! There is nothing like giving what God has given you away! Thats what were called to do as Christians. Whether your giving your shoes to a child who doesn't have them in a 3rd world country, or to a young woman called to stand in the nations. It's all about standing in obedience!

The Kindgom is established in every moment of every day, in a million different ways!

Don't be afraid to walk it out.

And by the way... I am believing God is going to give me many more pairs of shoes with dirt from many more nations on them... and then I'll give them away as well.

It's the building of the Kingdom, raising up and passing on to those who come next.

What are your Nations Shoes?
