We landed in Santa Cruz, Bolivia and God continues to bless everything on the trip! We then had another 45 minute flight to Cochabamba our final destination. We arrived a little sweaty and weary but excited to be here! Juan Carlos, Rachel and Jamema met us at the airport. They are screening for the virus there but we all passed! All the staff, police etc. are wearing masks. We rode to the place where we are staying in a little Toyota- all eight of us and our luggage! The weather is beautiful and everyone is very polite and kind! Rachel prepared a little meal - cheese buns and grapefruit juice - and everything tastes great after traveling day and night! Now we will wash and rest before heading into town. They just asked me to preach tonight...
Finally, here is the "Prayer of Protection" that Elizabeth sent... Lord, Your Word teaches me that when I choose to live in the secret place of the Most High that I shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Father, today I decree and say of the Lord: You are my refuge and my fortress, You are my God; and I choose at this moment to trust in You! I thank You, Father, that You shall surely deliver me. You will protect me and keep me under Your feathers and under Your wings; and in Your mighty hand I choose to take refuge, and strength. Lord, Your Word and truth shall be my defense, my shield, and my buckler. In You, Father, I will trust. I shall fear no evil thing nor shall I be fearful of terror by night or of the arrow that flies in the day. No pestilence, sickness (Coronavirus) or infirmity shall come near to me. Only with my eyes shall I see the reward of the wicked. I shall live in an abundance of supernatural provision and health to fulfill my call and God-ordained destiny in You. Because I choose, this day, to make the LORD my refuge, even the Most High shall be my dwelling place. Therefore, no evil thing shall touch me, nor shall any sickness come near my home. And I thank You, Father, that You give Your mighty angels charge over me and those in my sphere of influence. You shall faithfully keep me in all Your ways. You order my steps. You take pleasure in my prosperity and health. I thank You, Lord, that I shall prosper and be in health, even as my soul prospers, as I choose to make Your secret place my dwelling place. Thank You, Lord, that Your angels will lift me up and guard me with their hands to protect and help me. Lord, I choose to set my spirit, soul, and heart upon You; You have promised to deliver me and to set me upon high, because I have chosen to know Your name and nature. You enable and empower me to prosper and be in perfect health through the finished work of Calvary. Lord, I call upon You right now; and You will answer my prayer. Thank You, Father, that You are with me in times of trouble. You will deliver me, protect me, and release Your glory and honor upon my life. Thank You, Father, that You will satisfy me with long life. Thank You for revealing to me the fullness of Your salvation freely given to me through the finished work of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
Amen!
