October 24 W.A.I.T.T. "WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER" NOV 4th.It seems slightly ironic that as an acronym, that is how it spells out.. After all, it seems like forever ago we started dreaming / thinking / planning and talking about this thing called I-HEART. It was initially clear that we would need to take people on the journey with us, after all, we were on a journey ourselves. So we took the 'George Lucas' approach to story-telling and thought it best to unpack this thing in the form of a trilogy (of sorts) - and so was birthed 'the i-heart revolution'. The first installment launched last year as a CD+DVD; "With Hearts as One" was a cross-cultural snapshot of the scope and diversity that exists within the body of Christ. It captured the sound of our collective worship and our passion toward our Saviour, and at the same time helped reflect the inseparable union that must exist in loving others, seeking justice and making a difference in our world. It was carried by the songs. It was if anything; an introduction; a starting point. A beginning.. To be continued..... Which bring us to the now, and the imminent release of Part 2; "We're All in this Together"- Part apologetic, part documentary, part call to action, the film is a story made up of many stories, told by many voices, no individual voice any more or any less important than any other, yet every voice working together to ultimately tell the ONE story - A story that involves everyONE; that seeks to capture our collective and idiosyncratic purpose in ONE. And so... WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER will officially be launched this November. We're taking it into cinemas for ONE night only - our prayer; that the Church across the earth would rally together and do whatever it takes to see as many people as possible gather at the same time in cinemas everywhere and be stirred and inspired by the message of Christ, to ultimately work closer together in seeing the real needs of humanity collide with a love that can only be found in God who by definition - IS Love. Know someone that might want to read this? W.A.I.T.T. isn't for a second about Hillsong UNITED.. It doesn't serve to document the music and the adventurous nature of travel, nor has it been designed even to quench our thirst to be entertained.. This is a ultimately about YOU - It's about all of us.. And so our hope is that we would ALL get behind it.. We never had a big budget.. No corporate sponsorship or professional help.. It has been pulled together by a small team of incredibly selfless and dedicated people who have tirelessly given of themselves and persevered to make it a reality.. And our prayer is that we all as individuals would play our part and take it upon ourselves to see as many of our friends, youth, churches mobilised to be a part of this event.. It has the potential to be HUGE!! Over the comings days and weeks we will be doing what we can to help you spread the word, we NEED your help.. Screening times and locations will be announced shortly, how to get tickets and how to get it in a cinema near you. As well as pre-release featurettes and exclusives, so keep checkin in to the websites.. Be as creative as you like in getting the word out.. Share your ideas with us.. And let's together see the Church come together as ONE and the name of JESUS made famous. We thank God so much for all our friends around the world who have shared the UNITED journey with us over the last few years. We are living in amazing days, and we're only just getting started. I don't know where this is all headed.. But I'm convinced, that if we all choose to play our part and continue to work together in loving God and loving others with everything, that there is no end to what we can see established for the Kingdom and the glory of God in our lifetime. As for Part 3....?? Wooo!! LOVE. Jth. THIS IS FROM THE I-HEART WEBSITE. What an incredible opportunity for all of God people to be united!! When I got this notification in the mail I had to check it out. The US date is November 4th. Take a look at the site. http://www.theiheartfilm.com/ IN HIS SERVICE, Redeemed September 19 Christ's willingness to empower us should occassionally overwhelm us.This is a statement I read tonight in a devotional by Beth Moore, Jesus the one and only. It is a favorite of mine simply because it makes clear the obvious that sometimes is so simple we, I, overlook it. What I was reading tonight concerned Simon Peter. He knew Jesus! Can you imagine walking in His presence? Talking with Him? To have Him take time with you? What would you do if Jesus showed up in the midst of life, as you know it, right now today? What if He showed up at your job? What if you witnessed Him healing, say..your mother-in-law, like He did for Peter? Would it overwhelm you to have Him so close? I can tell you that I feel like I would be right there next to Peter, on my knees, exclaiming, "Go away from me Lord! I am a sinful man!" Luke 5: 8 Have you ever been under spiritual attack? If you read my last devotional on my recent divine appointment, then you know about how God used me, but let me tell you what happened afterwards. Within the hour of speaking with my lake loving neighbor, I had not even gotten home good, before the Devil began using what he thought would devastate me emotionally. He thought that if he pointed out, yet again, my sinful past that he could undo in me what God had just done. But let me tell you what he did not count on. He did not expect that I would already feel the unworthiness of God's call. You see, anytime you are touched by God's holiness, and He commissions you to what is so clearly His task for you it is a life altering, knock you to your knees, wake up call. Just like it was for Peter. When His holiness meets our unholiness it is truly overwhelming. It is not about what you've done, it was not about what I'd done, but more about how overwhelming the realization, of who I am... and who HE is. This sudden realization of one's own sin, no matter how long ago, is debilitating painful, the shame of how ungrateful I was for the sacrifice made for me mortifies me beyond anything I can explain to you. This was not the Devil's work however, it was the fact that anytime we get that close to God we can not help but get an inside look at ourselves. And when we are honest we realize as Beth Moore so grandly stated ,"..even if I could cease all sinful behavior, I would continue to battle sin throughout my life because I don't just commit sin. Apart from GOD, I am sinful." It is a painful, yet liberating experience seeing your true self. Liberating because in that moment of true honesty, we are closer to God than ever and so we are fueled by our own unworthiness! Isn't it just like God... to use the Devil's attempts to break us, to only make us stronger in our witness and in our desire to be closer to HIM! In Faith, Redeemed September 15 My appointment.Over the last month I have had very little time to post devotionals. It is a challenge for me, as it is for everyone else to spend the time needed in the Word of God. With life throwing things at you at warp speed it makes it difficult. And then there are those times when you are doing your time in His teahings, but He does not for whatever reason, tap you on the shoulder and say.."This needs to be posted." That is where I have been. Somewhere in the midst of both of these scenarios. So, I have been doing all I needed to with illness in my family and with myself and working diligently to get through my daily studies without pulling my hair out until finally I said I need a break. I made a few phone calls, nagged David all day, and then finally, purse on my shoulder, I was headed for a few hours break. Which translates to fishing at night, in the quiet with only God to keep me company. Although David would never let me go alone, for safety reasons, he doesn't care to fish and so he stays in the camper and gives me my needed space. I often refer to these stolen moments as a mental health break, my little joke. I had begun cooking up this plan earlier in the day. My son was much improved and so I was assured that these few hours would not be a problem. But all day I was sitting on ready. I wanted to go. I felt like I never felt...I needed to go. And naturally, it was all about me. So when I arrived it took me only moments to grab my gear and a large cup of coffee and I was out the door and on the dock. For the first hour or so I reflected on all that had transpired in the last month or so. I prayed, I recited verses I had been teaching my youngest daughter and sure enough, I felt myself begin to settle down. That anxiousness subside. Then, our neighbors came home. They are very nice people who are very careful when my children are around to not swear and the like. I had never seen them drink, and had never seen them in this condition. I said hello and the conversation began. Even though her husband and brother in law went inside, J decided to stay outside and talk to me. At first our conversation was the usual, how is work?, and we should all get together and go to dinner., type stuff. Then the conversation lulled and suddenly she says.. "I was raised Southern Baptist, you know." This one, out of place, simple statement almost knocked me out of my chair. Because I then knew where my unusual anxiousness came from. I knew why I was so determined to be there that night. I had a divine appointment. We talked for hours about why she ran from God. What it meant to be a Christian. We talked about what she believed and what it meant to live a life contrary to God's Word. We even talked about her husband and them starting a family. She is determined to put her life right before that happens. I honestly can not tell you if I helped her more or if she helped me more. As stressed out as I thought I was, I went looking only to appease myself, but God showed me, yet again, that in Him I serve a higher calling. At any time of day, anyone, anywhere, you may have a Divine appointment. At midnight, on Logan Martin Lake, with a woman I know only in passing, He had it all set up. All I had to do was be there. Lesson Learned...again. In HIS service, C. August 09 PLEASE PRAY FOR THESE KIDS, INCLUDING MACKENSIE......I FELT THIS PRAYER REQUEST NEEDED TO BE SHARED.
THIS WAS POSTED ON CHRISTBERRY BY SELE.
It will soon be time for school to return and I would like to remind everyone to remember all the students and teachers in our prayers.
My son will be returning to college in just 1 week to start his journey into the ministry and my daughter will begin her college education this year as well. So please remember them and all the others as they begin a new year of learning and teaching. -MY RESPONSE:
I was just thinking this morning that I needed to send out a prayer request for my kids and Sele beat me to it... LOL. The need for prayer is serious though. My children have all been in private Christian school until this year. In this school I have been blessed enough to not have to worry so much about false beliefs and the effect they can have on our young ones. This year however, my oldest is beginning the school of fine arts. Tomorrow in fact. We have spent all afternoon there in orientation. Which I have to admit was pretty impressive, but my concern is that this school is open to all beliefs. Even some, if not most, of the teachers are not believers in God. There she will be faced with all denominational, atheist, and agnostic beliefs, or non beliefs as the case may be. She is strongly founded in her faith, but she is still a teenager. Please pray for her and for her school. Pray God will use her to be a light in the darkness. Pray that she is stronger than the peer pressure she will face there. And please pray that God guide an direct me that I might assist her however she needs me too. Just Friday she called me at work to assist her in helping find scriptures to advise a friend through a crisis. I pray she continues to look to Him for her answers. Thank you all. It is a great comfort to me to know the Saints of God are praying. In HIS service, Redeemed August 07 JOSIAH..THE BEGINNING OF SORROWSTonight I have found myself searching…as I often do, for a word that will help to explain the burden I feel. Lately, it seems that everything I read, hear, or see, just confirms for me that this is the “Beginning of Sorrows” spoken of in Matthew 24: 5-8. Can you read this and honestly say that you do not recognize these events from the daily headlines? The worst part is not that we know the state of the world around us, but that we do nothing. Most people, Christians I know, are doing nothing. I have heard it said, well, what is there to do? What will be, will be. To this, my answer is READ THE BOOK!! There is much to do! And how much time to get it done in? Well, not sure? Guess you’d better hurry. If you know you have a relative stopping in on there way through town, but you do not know when, what do you do? You prepare! You clean your house. You fix what is broken. Basically you rearrange your life. So… by this example…. Why should you do nothing knowing Jesus is coming if you’ll hurry to make whatever changes are necessary just to impress Aunt Bea? You aren’t sure when to expect either of them. (Matthew 24:44) Maybe I am not explaining this correctly…I have a wonderful Bible study, it is called “We Need A Downpour”. In this study it tells the story of Josiah. In 640 B.C., unchecked evil reigned over Judah. God’s people had forgotten him. His anger, provoked by their wickedness, exhausted His patience. He had had enough. And so the countdown to the judgment began. But out of the darkness a boy-king emerged, Josiah. Josiah “did what was right in the eyes of the Lord”. (2 Kings 22:2) This boy king stood in the gap between God and His people. Josiah’s team rebuilt God’s temple after generations of neglect. There they found, buried, God’s book. Josiah was 26 when he read God’s word for the first time. It knocked him to his knees, convicting him to his core. He read for himself God’s promises, His blessings, and His warnings. He said, “Great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book.” (2 Kings 22:13) He knew that judgment was closer that he’d realized. So he invited God’s word to change their thinking. He knew he had to clean up. Some things had to go. He repented of how his nation had walked away from God. He and his people returned to the Lord. They left their sin behind them. They wanted what God had for them. What they wanted was to be REVIVED! God saw Josiah’s heart. He could not overlook the evil that had been done, but He held his wrath for this repentant generation. Understand this… Revival begins here with you and me. Like Josiah, we must make some changes, do a little cleaning… repent of our nation… do a lot more cleaning (this could be another entire devotional all of its own)… and prepare for what God has for us! This brings us back to where I began… the beginning of sorrows. It may seem a bit strange that I am speaking of the beginning of sorrows and revival at the same time. I hope I have made this easy to follow. As a body of believers we know what is to come. There is no changing it. God says it is to be. But He has commissioned us with a task that is not to be thwarted by current events. We are called to be Bible preaching, soul winning, warriors for Christ! In what time we have, and like Josiah I feel we are closer to judgment than we realize, we need to be repentant..praying for Revival. But this may mean we have to do a bit of cleaning. Over time we acquire quite a bit of clutter in our lives…sometimes to put it into perspective, in order to see God’s hand in our lives, we need to look at the bigger picture. Do this with me…draw a horizontal line across a piece of paper. A time line. On the far left write your birthday. On the far right, your current age. From you birth date mark the years in five year increments all the way up. Now go back, mark and write in each important event in your life. You know… moving, weddings, divorces, children, baptisms, whatever you feel was an important event and add in the year. Now go back and write in your relationship with God during those times or over spans of time when you were in the midst of mountains or valley in your walk. Can you see God’s hand in your life? Now make a large “X” on the far right representing today. Above it write in BOLD letters … Lord start Revival here. I hope you will pray as I pray with you for Revival to begin today, a downpouring of God’s holiness that will equip and enable us all as a body of believers to stand upon HIS word, the only Truth, and act in His will during this sorrowful time and the times to come. In HIS service, Redeemed August 03 THIS SOUNDS LIKE END TIME PROPHESY TO ME....................-HERE IS THE LINK TO THE STORY IF ANYONE NEEDS VERIFICATION. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE WE ARE LIVING IN THE END TIMES READ YOUR BIBLE.
Christians Burned to Death in Pakistan After Koran 'Defiled'
Aug 03, 2009 1:35 PM EDT
Paramilitary troops patrolled the streets of a town in eastern Pakistan yesterday after Muslim radicals burned to death eight members of a Christian family, raising fears of violence spreading to other areas. Hundreds of armed supporters of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an outlawed Islamic militant group, burned dozens of Christian homes in Gojra over the weekend after allegations that a copy of the Koran had been defiled. The mob opened fire indiscriminately, threw gas bombs and looted houses as thousands of frightened Christians ran for safety. "They were shouting anti-Christian slogans and attacked our houses," Rafiq Masih, a resident of the predominantly Christian colony, said. Residents said that police stood aside while the mob went on the rampage. "We kept begging for protection, but police did not take action," Masih said. Police and local officials said that at least eight people, including four women and a child, were killed in the fires. Two others died of gunshot wounds. Residents said that the casualties were much higher; one claimed that the number of dead could be in the dozens as many bodies were still buried under the rubble. Shahbaz Bhatti, the Minister for Minorities, said that 40 Christian homes were torched in rioting. He said there was no truth to allegations that a Koran had been defiled, and accused the police of ignoring his appeal to provide protection to Christians. Tension started mounting last week after Muslims accused three Christian youths of burning a copy of the Koran. They denied the allegations, but clerics called for their death. On Saturday, hundreds of supporters of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an outlawed Sunni sectarian group, poured into the town from surrounding districts. The group is believed to have close links with Al Qaeda and has been involved in several terrorist attacks targeting security forces in recent years. Television footage showed armed men running through the streets, gunfire, and women and children wailing. Blackened furniture lay outside burning homes, while a group of people rushed a man suffering from burns on a cart through the streets. Rehman Malik, the Interior Minister, said that the paramilitary troops were sent after police and the local administration failed to control the situation. Security forces were also placed on high alert to prevent violence from spreading to other towns of Punjab. May 06 I'm back.I have had so many different things going on lately I am not quite certain if I can name them all. Between revival, kids (it is closing on the end of their school year so each of the 4 have had banquets, field trips, parties, etc.), work (audit time again..ugh), friends with crisis, and making much needed time for family I have been steady hopping. Like now, my time has been short. I do however have a few things I'd like to touch on.
Firstly, I am pleased to see that so far I have been able to post this. Lately, I have not been able to get blogs, lists, or anything else to accept a new entry. I hope the folks in charge are working on a resolution and this tonight is a good sign.
Secondly, Stadiumfest was awesome. God was moving and there will be pics posted as soon as I can get them posted. At last count there were over 300 new professions of faith, and who knows how many chose to not be counseled, but sealed there fate with Jesus in either a new profession or a rededication that day. Praise God! That many people praising His name was an awesome thing to witness!!
Thirdly, our local park here in Moody, is having a day for God and country. Prayer and praise are top priority on the agenda. Please be in prayer for us on May 7, tomorrow, to see the lost saved, and to get people more involved in both their personal walk and the state of affairs in the world around them.
Pray for me while I am running around trying to do all God has called me to and blessed me with.
In HIS service,
Cyndi April 03 Perservere- pardon the typos. I get excited sometimes......... Recently I have spend numerous hours reading this and that online. I love 'The Voice' magazine and well as Rapturealert.com and in keeping with my passion for information I read alot, and I listen alot. Lately, I been hearing alot about endtime prophesy. I am disturbed by how little people who need to know actually know. I was watching an interview with Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins (thanks for the link, kerri) and the interviewer was asking questions, rediculous questions I might add about Obama being the anti-Christ. I laughed out loud myself when Tim Lahaye laughed and said that Obama was not the anti-Christ and he knew this because he had met the man. The interviewer looked more than a little confused so Mr. Lahaye preceeded to explain that when the anti-Christ comes into power the rapture of the church will have already taken place, so he will not be here to meet him. It occured to me as I'm sure it did Mr. Lahaye that she was lost in more ways than one. Sad, don't you think? That one of the top rated, highly debated, national news anchors, who probably could give you more infomation than you could ever want on what is happening in the world today, does not know her bible? She begins a discussion with is so and so the anti-Christ and did not take the time to research the subject matter?
I, like Tim Lahaye do not believe the anti-Christ has come into power yet, but the stage is being set. Our government now has financial ties to most major industries in our country. Once you own stock you get a say. I heard one of our largest lending banks turned them down stating that they did not want the government having a say in their company. Good for you. Unfortunatly, your choice may be short term. Jump online and see who all is championing the one world currency movement. You'd be surprised at how many names you recognize. And now the new bill on the floor at the House is a revamp of our federal student loan program that calls for acceptees to "manditorily volunteer" to join the Obama Brigade. There are several requirements but the one most disturbing to all of us should be the ban on their constitutional right to religious freedom. The bill reads that these kids, and I call them that because most are, will be required to cease and desist all religious practices for their 3 months in this "Brigade". They will not be allowed to take instruction, give instruction, witness, work or worship for the duration of this time. What? And get this.. most of us heard nothing about this bill until the senate had already passed it! How did this happen? Our government is passing legislature that goes against our constitution?
WAKE UP FOLKS!!! YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR STATE REP AND ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF TO GET THEM INVOLVED! 2 Thes 2: 15 states for us to "stand firm and hold to the teachings we (the disciples) passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter." This is my intent!
Now don't misunderstand me, I know this is prophesy fulfilled. I know what is coming. I know what will happen, God help us, and I know that long term I can not change God's plans, nor do I want to, but I intend to "stand firm" none the less. I believe it is my right and my obligation to fight the darkness taking over this world for as long I am destined to live in it! God willing there will be those saved by the TRUTH along the way. In the Bible, the book of Jude to be specific, we are called to perservere. In verses 17-23 it reads," But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires." These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. But you , dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt, snatch others from the fire and save them, to others show mercy , mixed with fear-hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. "
Romans 16:17-20 is the best encouragement in the times we live in I can think of. It reads:
"I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. At HIS feet, Cyndi March 29 Standing In The GapI read a devotional tonight about a woman who gave her heart to Christ in 1974. Her name is Kathi Mills. She wrote about an experience she had while she was in the hospital 5 years before her conversion. While she was in and out of consciousness she would hear a woman praying out loud in her room. Asking God to not only heal her but to save her. The doctor attempted to discourage this prayer warrior telling her that Kathi was critical and may not survive. The prayer warrior answered that she believed God would allow Kathi to walk out of that hospital, and that someday she woud live for HIM. That is infact what happened, but not for 5 years. Kathi writes that this woman who was "standing in the gap" for her she had only met twice. She also states that this woman of God did not know the resulted outcome, but that at her bedside she had prayed believing God would answer those prayers in His time. I have been both the receiver and the initiator of those intercessory prayers. I know, years ago, that there were those who stood in the gap for me. Although I may not know them all, they knew that I was spiritually critical. I do not know if they ever knew the results of their prayers, I only know that they prayed in faith for me just the same. While reading this I also thought of a young man I met one night at a book store. He began a conversation that ended in me presenting him with the gospel. I have since prayed for him regularly. I know only his first name. I feel in my soul that me being there that night, at that time, under unusual circumstances, was devine appointment. He did not accept Christ that night to my knowledge. I understand that I am not responsible for his salvation. My obligation is simply to tell, because only God can save him. I will probably never know the outcome of our conversation that night, but like Kathi's prayer warrior I am confident in my GOD, and content in my role. I am like many of you, a prayer warrior. So I know I will not be alone there. If you need me, I'll be standing in the gap... At HIS feet, Cyndi March 17 My daughter The School of Fine ArtsI posted this in a forum on Christberry.com. The Saints on this site have been in steady prayer for my daughter, God's plan for her, and the School of Fine Arts to which she applied. I have copied it here for my family. Love you all. Cyndi
It was quite the day today. My daughter received her letter. Her invitation to attend the school of fine arts. I know her talent is straight from God, and I know she has worked so hard to get here. The mother in me is concerned for her. But the Spirit in me sends scripture to my heart. He tells me He will be with her always. I have been thinking about when she first began he walk with God. We were doing a musical at our church. I was set to sing several different songs throughout and of course she knew the music too by the night of the worship service. She and her sister sat on the front row to the left of the alter. I had prayed all day that God send the message, His message to those whose hearts He had prepared, even if it only insprired one, just one, to seek Him. When the music started I was still praying. I closed my eyes and let God lead me. When I opened them I could see so many faces, I saw so many emotions there. And then I looked over at where I knew my girls would be. And there was the one my heart had been burdened for. All day I had been praying for my own daughter and I didn't realize it. She was on her knees. Arms raised in complete submission to God. She was reborn right there before me. God gave me the ultimate gift. I saw her pure and new for the second time. I have watched her grow since then in more ways than one. The mother in me wants to protect her from any experience that could taint her. I am no fool, I know I can not. I know I have not. I sat in that school last week and told God she was His before she was mine. She would always be HIS. And I would trust Him to protect her. He will be there even when I can not be. I am only her mother. Limited as I am. But the one she calls Father has no limitations. He is the Heavenly Father. The Almighty One. The All Powerful, All Knowing Jehovah and He is the only one who loves her more than me. Pray for her to always look to Him for her answers. Pray for us a family as we make this transition and pray for me. That God make me the mother He would have me be. I still have a long way to go. "I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are walking in the truth," 3 John 1:4 At HIS feet, Cyndi March 01 Thank him through your circumstances.There are things in this life you never see coming. God's little surprises for us. I never thought, years ago, that I would be so blessed. I have much to be thankful for. I thank God. I feel like more often than not we are so wrapped up in moving up, and wanting more , that we forget what is important. So frequently we are too concerned with want we don't have or how bad we think our situation is that we forget to thank Him. He provides, even in the worst of circumstances, all that we need. Understand that what we need in God's eyes and what we need in our own eyes may differ greatly. We may think we need a bigger house, and God says why? I have provided you with the house you need right where I want you to be. We may think we need a bigger, better, car and God says why? Do I not see you safely to your destination in the one I provided? We may think we need a better, higher paying job, and God says why? Do you not see the work you do for me here.? So often in our rush to do more, to have more, we don't spend enough time in counsel with God. We make our decisions without asking Him to make them for us. I have found this, in my own walk, to have consequences that I then try to avoid by praying for Him to fix my mistakes. No decision made without His counsel is without consequences, sometimes life long consequences. More often than not we don't want to face them. Do you believe that God will forsake you in these times? Leave you to deal with it by yourself because you made the mess by yourself? He does not. He will not eleviate your consequences, because like a loving father he wants you to learn from your mistakes. Sometimes that discipline is painful. It is hard to face the fact that you are wrong, but God will love you through your humility. He will still be there with an offer of understanding and grace. He can and He will give you a peace in your spirit to see you through those times. All that is required is surrender. Surrender it all to Him and He will be faithful.

Wow! What a day it has been! I googled a blackberry question which led me to Pinstack, and now look. Devine intervention? I am sure of it. My intention was to pray for those in need, to help them the best way I could think of, by encouraging the people of God to lift them in prayer. To intercede on their behalf and bless them. But I have to tell you all, when last night I sat here, looking for a way to help someone I had been "speaking" with here on Pinstack, I opened this thread. I had know idea what today would bring. It has been a very long , very taxing, and one of the best days that I have ever had. All day today things were thrown at me. I woke up sick, my kids were sick, I was late to work, my boss was grouchy, every time I looked up there was a fire for me to put out or someone calling my name with one problem after another. It was insane! AND IT WAS AMAZING!! All of you have made my day! The Devil couldn't touch me. Because all day today I also kept hearing my BB sound off. And each time it was someone else that made my heart soar and head bow, to bless God for how good HE is and to pray for each one. It has made for an awesome day. You all have blessed me beyond belief! Thank you.. from my heart.
3/1/2009 This thread on Pinstack is still going strong. Please do not hesitate to post a pray request anytime you need to. There are people from all over willing to pray for you right now. God bless and keep you. At HIS feet, Cyndi |
