Just Do It vs. Do It Scared by RA

Just Do It as a motto perhaps would motivate many a heart to attempt the seeming impossible on a physical level. Yet, as a dear missionary colleague BB reflected recently, “I got to the point of my time on the mission field where I was becoming more fearful of being and doing what the Father was inviting. I thought of the Nike company phrase, Just Do It, and that seemed to not really connect with the honest process of the feelings part of our beings as we consider trusting God for the impossible. Instead, the Father gave me a phrase which helps me to be honest with the vulnerable areas of fear I face in attempting to facilitate CPMs among UUPGs and UPGs. He spoke to my heart, 'Dear child of mine, Do It Scared. Do all that I ask of your heart in surrenderedness and trust in the power of My Holy Spirit to enable you.”

Personal Reflection: What areas do you feel the Father is inviting you into deeper trust and obedience? How might trusting God in these areas release you to engage further in CPM efforts?

Extraordinary Prayer
Take a prayer walk around your neighborhood. Keep a diagram of the area; when you express Shema statements, personal story of God's story shared, other approaches to offer to find a Person of Peace. Make note also if you were able to offer the start of a DBS with their oikos. Bring someone you are coaching in CPM in the desire to model MAWL (Model, Assist, Watch, Love/Letter)

Ideas
Invite other Kingdom partners in your setting to join you in setting aside 2-3 days at agreed upon time monthly for prayer and fasting. Share insights in intercession the Lord gives to all involved.
