Foreword
I became keenly aware of wearing King Jesus signet ring in 1976. I was in prayer regarding an upcoming mission to Guatemala when I heard the Lord say, While youre there, I want you to be Me to the people. I know that wasnt grammatically sound, but God was using this unique phraseology to get my attention. He had it! And the revelation of what He was communicating quickly followed: You must represent Me. Be My hands, feet and voice; what You know I would do in a given situation, do it . The concept of authority, of being sent, of praying and speaking in Christs name, became much clearer that night.
The word represent means to present again. A representative receives the plans and desires of another, then passes them on. Thus, they present again. The Lord was saying to me, Present My heart and will to the people in Guatemala. Be Me to them. I went to Guatemala wearing His signet ring. Yet, if its possible to be emboldened and intimidated at the same time, I was. I possessed new confidence, knowing I was sent by Christ and authorized to represent Him. But I wasnt so sure about what you know I would do, do it.
Once in Guatemala, I traveled with a team to a remote village with no electrical power, plumbing or phones. This was truly in the middle of nowhere. We were on a humanitarian mission, building one-room huts for people displaced by the 1976 earthquake. At night, we would set up a generator in the middle of the village and preach the good news of Christ to them.
On the last night, I was asked to speak. Just before the service, I was told of a child who lived in the backyard of her parents makeshift lean-to tied to a tree like a dog chained to a doghouse.
