Love is the answer – Final Nepal/India update
I am back obviously but this is my final update from this last 6 months until the next thing God has called me to.

In this update I am going to talk about revelations I got from this journey. There is so much more then I will write here and I could probably write a book but I will try and keep it to just a few revelations. Then I will write a bit of an overview of these 6 months….. It’s sort of a long read sorry.

Love… It is so easy yet so difficult. Love is defined as much more then how we see it in a number of our lives. It is patient, kind, doesn’t envy or boast and isn’t proud. It honors others even when you don’t like them. It isn’t selfish and doesn’t remember the wrongs people do. It is slow to anger, love always protects, always trusts, always hopes and LOVE NEVER FAILS.

Here’s a big thing I have learned.

To love people based on their identity in Jesus, not based on their behavior.
There is a difference between what is true and the truth.

What you don’t like about a person may be true to you but the truth is that Jesus loves them so very much no matter what they have done and died on the cross for them to show just how much he loves them.
All scripture is God breathed it says in 2 Timothy and in Romans it tells us that nothing at all can separate us from the love of God.

Others identity in Christ is so much bigger then their behavior in a given moment and so love them based on what is important, not on what they say or do to you or another person. Realize that they just need to be loved more. Realize how Jesus sees them and what the truth is about them.

Humility causes freedom. Throughout these months l have asked God to break me and teach me humility and wisdom and He sure has a sense of humor in how He answers prayer. Humility is awesome but at the beginning when we have a prideful way of thinking, it is so hard to die to ourselves and I don’t think it will ever be easy but it does get easier after we do it over and over. It brings freedom to the heart and mind. In our conversations and how we treat others and how we respond to how they treat us. This ties in with loving based on Identity. Sometimes God doesn’t change a situation because the lesson to change our heart is more important. Humility is a choice and has shown me so much freedom and unity in relationships.

God is so so so faithful and it is normal for Him to speak with us.

I was sitting in Lion of Judah when God whispered to me that life was about to change and then the tears of my life previously poured down my face. As I rededicated my life to God and gave him my hands to do His work, freedom entered my heart and I knew from that day everything would be different in my life.
God spoke to me so clearly from that point or rather, I opened my heart and ears to listen.
He said “Go” then led me to Kona where I got to know him more and got to learn how to disciple others, among many things I hope to share.
He said, give all you have away and “Go” with no money because I will provide. He showed me how wonderful and perfect a provider He is and that he keeps His promises.
He said “Go” to Nepal and share the good news and see the wonders I will show you and He has made me a new creation able to love everyone including myself because I know I am loved by the King of the universe.

He has told me to “Go” once again and given me the direction I am supposed to move in. I will follow His voice always and know that He will provide my every need.

God tells us in Proverbs 3 to Honor the Lord with our first fruits. He also says in Malachi 3:10 to test Him in our tithes says the and see if He will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
This is the only place in the bible where God allows us to test Him.

I am a living testimony to Gods faithfulness in this type of blessing. I did not tithe to test God but I gave my first fruits always out of desire to do Gods will and because I love Him and love those around me.
Tithing is not always about giving to the church but sometimes just to someone who needs it or just listening to God to guide you where to give. The tithe is made holy when given to God and is no longer mine so God will use it anywhere he tells me to give it. Even if I hear wrong, God will still use it because it is holy.

In doing this, God poured out His blessing on me and has provided my every need since that day I was at church. He also has provided for the little desires of my heart because He loves me so much. God is so faithful and true to His promises.

In Nepal Ive seen amazing worship, people come to know Jesus, people healed of deaf ears, blind eyes, paralyzed limbs healed, pain removed from all parts of the body, people’s dreams changed from evil to joyful and the drunk made sober!
Children prophesying and encountering the Holy Spirit. Crowds of 50 people gathered to watch as we prayed and worshiped and loved them for hours in the same spot. I’ve seen weeping and mourning and shouts of joy and tears of glory. I’ve battled in the spirit for hours upon hours and watched people’s eyes change and the atmosphere shift. I’ve experienced a brotherhood and how to work in a team with unity, fought against my own and others sickness, mountains and many stumbling blocks with Gods help and guidance. We have sown into so many lives and seen them accept our love and reject our love at times.
In India I’ve seen children living in garbage dumps and was able to bathe them, clothe them, feed them and teach them about cleanliness on the outside and inside. I’ve spoken in Colleges, Universities, Hostels, rehab centers and Churches about Gods love and encouraged them with the messages God put on my heart. I’ve loved the old and the young, the lost and the broken, the strong and the weak. I’ve prayed for healing in hospitals, streets, houses, temples and many other places.

There is so much more!
I have gotten to know God more and understand His love more.

Love is the Answer. God said Go and He is saying Go once again. I will elaborate more in person lol.
I love you all and this is the start of a life long season with God and others.

Your brother and friend,
Jacob President.
