I hold up my staff – like Moses!

by Boasa-Jachina Sasek (19 y.), December 2023

Since the last newsletter you received, the Panorama Center has been a hive of activity! Many tasks, training and project days, events and broadcasts were planned, carried out, filmed and produced! It was so much fun! But these activities etc. are also always a school of life for me, and I always get to learn sooo much! Because there is usually no lack of low „zero“ points in these events.

When I was at such a really low point and was completely at the end of my own strength, I heard a recent talk by Dad:

“I can’t see anything, but I’m holding up my staff. I can’t even stand on my own two feet, you say, but I hold up my staff. You don’t have to be able to stand on your own two feet! Hold up the staff, that’s it! […] Say: By your word Lord, I’m standing here, I’m here! And THEN God gives them the word and then all of heaven begins to move!”

To hold up the staff means to do the same as Moses did at the sea. BEFORE the sea was parted, or the impossibility dissolved, he first had to hold up his staff in FAITH. Only THEN did this amazing miracle happen and the sea parted!

Yes, that’s it!!! Whenever I was first able to step back into faith BEFORE the impossibility dissolved, it just catapulted me up:

So I started to put this into practice in my everyday life and hold the „staff“ high in my impossibilities! I came home from our vacation with sooo many good intentions, but I soon got stranded because I couldn’t implement them on my own. I “held up my staff” and said: “Jesus, I can’t even get the simplest things right and I don’t even feel like I can stand on my own two feet, but I still hold up my staff and trust You that You can do EVERYTHING through me!” Suddenly the whole spook of oppression and inferiority was over and I was able to take one step after another with joy in all my challenges with renewed strength. Even when I was allowed to plan the cooking and accommodation schedule for the upcoming big event, I just couldn’t get any further. It just wouldn’t work out somehow. Only when I said in FAITH: “Jesus, I can’t see a thing. I can’t even plan my little part, but I’m still holding up the staff! YOU can do that in me!” Then suddenly it flowed out again, it all opened up, and we experienced a very blessed outreach!

Even with the Kla.TV broadcasts that we could produce here, sometimes I just can only cry about all the evil things that are happening in the world! But here, too, we ALL hold up the staff together and say:

“We BELIEVE that NOW this whole bastion of darkness will crumble to dust THROUGH US and be carried away by the wind!”

When we all rise up together in faith and everyone raises their staff where they are, then all of heaven is brought into motion and helps us, from the smallest things in life to the big world problems, to part the sea.

Yours sincerely,
