Halelujaaaaah!!!!! Praise God!!!!! Love to all!!!!
Yes! Ditto!
Irene, I can't tell you how much your poem meant to me. Just this morning, I was writing and praying about dying to self and letting Jesus fully live through me. And then I read your poem. It spoke to my spirit - in fact, my spirit leaped for joy as I was reading it. Thank you for sharing.
Cindy, your messages are always so encouraging and uplifting. What a blessing you are! How's the new job?
Today I get a big delivery (well, four books for my class) from Amazon. I'm so excited about my training that starts this Thursday! Listening to Bill Johnson re-ignited my enthusiasm for the training which was dampened by one of the instructors at our orientation. I may have to confront what bugs me about her.....even an e-mail I just received from her bothers me.
Learning to love each other.....the most important commandment and the most challenging. We have to look at ourselves and see stuff that we'd rather not.
Hope everyone has a great day. Sending love and hugs to you all! Ral
I haven't started the job yet. Waiting for results from the drug test and background check. I expect to hear today or tomorrow. Then I shall be scarce around here.
Hubby is not working yet either. He has lots of apps in and lots of prayer in.

Fourth, study the non-Christian religions more sympathetically to find the good that is within them in order to have a more sympathetic approach to the people.”
Cindy why do you have to have a drug test?? I have never heard of that before in being assessed for a job?

I would love to have a digital camera. Then I could share pictures.
Irene, your poem brought tears to my eyes. I want His kingdom to come. And everywhere I go I am bringing the kingdom of God as His ambassador. I want to see people saved, delivered, and healed.
ral, what a blessing to hear Bill Johnson. Sounds like a good message - bold and courageous. I believe that is what it takes to live in these last days.
He'sGood, I have been thinking on Jesus, the Bread from heaven today, and about the Rock gushing forth with water in the desert for two days. We are on the same page, brother!
I've also been thinking about how God sent Jesus from heaven and how Mary received Him. She received Him by words, "Be it unto me according to Your will." We receive all heaven has to offer by words. God has sent Jesus from heaven to save us. All we need is in Him. We have access to every gift He gives and we receive it first by believing in our heart, and then by confessing with our mouth. Even in the OT, Joshua and Caleb SAID, "We can take land. Let us go up at once, for God has given them to us." They believed God's Words and said with their mouth. But it didn't stop there. Faith acts. They acted on His Word and went up to take it. Joshua lead them into the land of promise, and they conquered.
Let us go up and take our "land". For Irene, it is rescuing the lost. For pc4, He'sGood, and I it is receiving the finances we need. For most of us, if not all, it is lost loved ones coming into the kingdom.
Praise God there is nothing too big and nothing too small. The LORD heals dogs too! Praise God ral's dog is better. He directed her in how to care for her. Hallelujah! What a God we serve!
Our service was wonderful Sunday. The message was on worship, true worship, what that is and what it looks like. Hope to have some notes to post, but it looks unlikely. Sorry. Too much going on.
pc4, as I walked this morning at 7 am, I saw the huge full moon shining brightly in the western sky as it was setting. And I thought of you. It was 10 pm there and if you had looked out, we would have been looking at the same moon at the same time. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning once again, wondering if you see it too.
Isn't it great we can all behold the beauty of the LORD at once? We can all enter His presence to behold His majesty.
I am sorry I didn't read this in time to view the moon at the same time as you.. but i am touched by what you have shared!

It's fairly common here in the states. There are so many drug users that employers want to be sure they aren't hiring one.

I bought Bill Johnson's healing tapes. They are so good! Here's a few cool quotes:
"Sickness is to our body what sin is to our soul."
"Gifts are deposited embryonically and are developed by disciple." (Relating to a discussion about waiting for the gifts to spontaneously manifest, instead of being disciplined in using them.)
"The right and privilege of every believer are signs and wonders."
"God is not sick. You can't give what you don't have."

Glad you are still here with us posting!!

I am still listening to the other ones you recommended.. by Curry Blake!
I am up to about section 16-17.. some really good stuff there.. but didn't like what he said about faith people..

Chew the hay and spit out the sticks. Of course I believe if there are too many sticks we ought to toss the whole thing and go to another pasture.
I've had a wonderful day, until.....
My husband looks at the circumstances, get stressed, and blows up at me. Um, hello, I'm not the problem here. Neither is he. We just need to keep standing on his Word. God is faithful. Not one word will fail. Well, I know that, but when he gets so angry my lips are sealed. He's not in a listening mode and I'm not wasting my time to have the words bounce off a hardened heart. What I don't like is his raising his voice in front of our daughter and saying if he's has to go back to being a mechanic he wonders if there is any truth in the Word. God is not a man that He should lie. I know that. And I would like for us to be living examples before our children of how to walk.
We've got to learn to keep our mouths shut when we're hurting like that, and instead grab the Word, fall to our knees, and call upon the Lord. Meanwhile I try to find the best way I can to minister to him, which was simply to cook for him and serve him. What else can I do? Yes, pray. I did. I am. He's gone to a home group meeting now. Peace in the house once again.

Curry Blake is so good, but he is rather opinionated about some stuff. Like Cindy says, we chew the hay....
Praise God ral's dog is better. He directed her in how to care for her. Hallelujah! What a God we serve!
