Love and mercy and
righteousness are HIS, and holiness so ineffable that no comparisons or
figures will avail to express it. Only fire can give even a remote
conception of it. In fire He appeared at the burning bush; in the pillar
of fire He dwelt through all the long wilderness journey. The fire that
glowed between the wings of the cherubim in the Holy Place was called
the Shekinah, the Presence, through the years of Israel's glory, and
when the Old had given place to the New, He came at Pentecost as a fiery
flame and rested upon each disciple." Aiden Wilson Tozer "The Pursuit
of God"</div>

I can bring good even out of your mistakes. Your finite mind tends to look backward, longing to undo decisions you have come to regret! This is a waste of time and energy, leading only to frustration. Instead of floundering in the past, release your mistakes to me. Look to me in trust, anticipating that My infinite creativity can weave both good choices and bad choices into a lovely design.<br /> <br />Because you are human, you will continue to make mistakes. Thinking that you should live an error-free life is symptomatic of pride. Your failures can be source of blessing, humbling you and giving you empathy for other people in their weaknesses. Best of all, failure highlights your dependence on Me. I am able to bring beauty out of the morass of your mistakes. Trust me, and watch to see what I will do.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790258313959985872.post-56736953989049377702009-10-11T16:56:00.000-07:002009-10-11T16:59:46.442-07:00He Reigns!"The song of Asian believers<br />Filled with God’s holy fire<br />It’s every tribe, every tongue, every nation<br />A love song born of a grateful choir."

God gave me this verse today and it really spoke to me:<br /><br />"Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith." Hebrews 13:7Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790258313959985872.post-8426245762154976162009-09-03T17:20:00.000-07:002009-09-03T17:41:57.737-07:00Prophetic Words August 21, 2009For Me: Wisdom. Every new white hair=new wisdom. Impartation of the gift of wisdom. Provision. Put a demand on the prophetic. Heart of the Father. Transparency. Nothing to hide. Nothing for your family to hide. Silver tongue--brings restoration. Orchestra leader. Easy to know how to direct people because you are close to Him. You will be making leaders. Move closer and closer to God's heart. <br /><br />For Tammy: Leader for God. Called to speak. Lay down so He can speak through your heart. Lay hands on others so they can speak for God too. New revelation. New message from the depths of God. Mother of many. Mother's heart. Don't fear. Give children to God. Jesus is the babysitter! Your mother would be pleased! <br /><br />For both of us: Big, strong angels are standing on our walls. Provision. Money, money, money. Stay a united front. Nothing comes in between. Put on the full armor of God daily. Nothing can come between you two as you run together. Like facing each other on a treadmill. Life to emanate. Increase connection with God and each other. Heal the sick raise the dead! Blind eyes opened! They will LISTEN!<br /><br />Amen!

The letter written by R.P. Mainali, the supreme commander of the NDF, published in a local newspaper, said the Nepalese government should not have released 62 Christians, in 1989 and 1990, who had been jailed for actively proselytising. The letter warned that these Christians, who have continued their work, were threatening Hinduism. “We are giving these unholy elements who are grabbing the authority of the people of the country under the cloak of religion, a notice of one month to leave the country, otherwise we will explode 10 bombs in the homes of 10 Christians in Nepal, for which we take responsibility in advance,” the NDP letter said. The Voice of the Martyrs encourages you to pray for believers in Nepal who are living under these threats. Ask God to protect them and for their courageous testimony to draw non believers into fellowship with Christ. <br /><br />"'Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak Your word with great boldness. Stretch out Your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.'<br />After they had prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly."

A more loving mother, you will not find. A more loving, devoted, submitted wife doesn't exist. What I ever did to deserve this wonderful gift from God Himself, I'll never know.

<br /></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">My wife and I went to the orphanage in the country where we live to visit and hold the children for a couple of hours in the afternoon and, as we were there, it started raining. On our way out, my wife slipped on some concrete steps and fell hard on her elbow, back, and left heel. Because of her fall and also because it was raining, we decided that she should take a taxi back home and I would go alone on our now infamous scooter. She arrived home a bit bruised but safe. Since it was raining, I was driving very cautiously on the scooter. I was going down a hill at about 25km/hr (16mph) when a 13 year-old local boy, without looking, walked right out in front of me. I slammed on the brakes and swerved very sharply to the left trying to avoid him. Because the road was wet and the scooter had turned so sharp, my body flew off the scooter and into the boy. My shoulder hit him on his side and he crashed to the road, his forehead slamming into the pavement. When I got up and got to him, he was not fully conscious. His eyes were rolling back into his head and his breathing was convulsive and he had a large bump on his forehead. I immediately laid my hands on him and started to pray. Within seconds, a police car arrived and I carried the boy into the back seat and off we went to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, he was not improving but I continued to fervently pray. We arrived at the hospital and I carried him inside. By now, his convulsive breathing had calmed down and he seemed much more stable than before. God was at work! The doctors looked him over and asked him some questions that he didn’t respond to so they told us that we had to go to a bigger hospital via this small hospital’s ambulance. When we arrived at the bigger hospital, one doctor began examining him and he was beginning to give responses to their questions and complaining of head and elbow pain. After continual improvement in his responsiveness and an elbow x-ray, he finally could remember his phone number and we got in touch with his parents so they came to the hospital. By the time they arrived, the boy was clearly answering questions and the pain in his head had subsided due to the pain medications that they had given him. The x-ray came back with a small fracture on his elbow, but miraculously, when the doctor came and physically checked it, there was no pain and no swelling so they said that there was no way that the arm could be broken! After about 6 hours at the hospital, they released him to go home with instructions to watch for head injury complications. I tried to get them to give him a ct scan and keep him overnight but was not successful. I saw him this evening and he is doing much better. Praise the Lord! What a miracle! I will take him to see the doctor tomorrow…</p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">“What was meant for bad, God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Gen. 50:20</span><o:p></o:p></b></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">This is the verse that God gave me last night at home as I was praying. I believe that God has a huge plan for this boy’s life. He is a Hindu but he is going to a Christian school and is hearing the truth every day. I fully believe that he will be used by God to lead many here in this nation to salvation in Jesus....the saving of many lives!

times with the boy that I hit on the road on Friday. He goes to a Christian school here but told me at the hospital on Friday that he was a Hindu. We were talking yesterday and I asked him what he thought about Jesus. He replied, “ I don’t know about my mother and father, but, for me, I think Jesus is the right way.” Wow! I then started talking to him about his village which is in one of the most remote places on earth and said that I would like to visit there with him sometime. He then said, “I have always thought of making a church in my village.” Wow again! God indeed has a wonderful plan in this whole situation and it is impossible for Him to not work everything out for the best for those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose according to Romans 8:28. Beauty for ashes!</p> <p style="font-family: arial;"></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790258313959985872.post-59699480598905153562009-05-11T07:30:00.000-07:002009-05-11T07:35:45.819-07:00Burn"And <img onclick="'openStrongs(" src="http://media.salemwebnetwork.com/biblestudytools/skin/CW/Icon_Strongs_Superscript.gif" id="iconStrongs32_2532" style="display: none;

To add to that, my elbow had become infected from a scooter accident a week earlier and my whole arm was red, hot, and swollen to 2-3 times its normal size. Everything in the natural was stealing my joy. But, in the midst of this attack from the enemy, our loving, good God had a lesson to teach me. That night, being a Friday, we had our normal time of weekly "soaking" in the Lord's presence at our house. I barely made my way downstairs to start the meeting. Two of our friends were also there but had to leave early. One of these friends had brought a birthday card from some good friends of mine in Qatar and it had the verse from Philippians 4:4- "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice!" The act of kindness of sending a card with that verse coupled with the natural condition I was in, spoke directly to my heart. I could feel the Joy of the Lord rising in my soul as God was telling me that my natural state had nothing to do with feeling and experiencing His joy. My wife felt led to read the testimony of Charles Finney to start the meeting which made the joy that was rising increase even more. We then prayed for a short time and I started the music. Our two friends had left so it was just me and my wife worshipping and soaking in the presence of God. Every word of every song seemed to be coming directly from my heart to God. I spent the next two hours on the floor loudly weeping/laughing/singing (most of the time all at once). About halfway though the playlist, I had to go to the bathroom very badly but I didn't want to get up because I didn't want to do anything to stop what was happening. But, I had to go so bad that I asked my wife to help me up. Even with her help, it was almost impossible for me to stand. I staggered to the bathroom and went back to worship and, to my delight, nothing had changed! Our four kids came downstairs for the last 4-5 songs and, at first, didn't understand what was happening to me. My youngest daughter came up to me and started wiping away my tears. She started crying and said, "Daddy, make it stop." All I could tell her was that God was making me so happy that I didn't want it to stop. What an amazing birthday gift that our wonderful Jesus had for me! Be encouraged! The Joy of the Lord does not depend on the circumstances of your life! You can experience His joy no matter what is happening to you in the natural.

Isa. 6:5<br /><br />The prophet Isaiah was undone in the presence of the Lord. The Hebrew word used for "undone" in this verse is 'damah' which is defined in Strong's dictionary as: "to cease, to rest, to be silent, to be quiet, to be destroyed, to be cut off, to perish. This verb depicts a violent end."<br /><br />"Your love, it overtakes me<br />And makes me who I am<br />As I am undone<br />In the light of Your glory" Jeff Deyo "Unveil"<br /><br />Father, undo me! Undo me in Your holy presence! Undo me with Your infinite love. May I cease, rest, be silent, and be quiet so that Your Holy Spirit can speak and work through me.

Jesus' thirst for love and for souls became so distinctively clear that from then on an ardent longing to satiate His thirst took complete possession of her heart. By means of interior locutions and visions, Jesus revealed to her the desire of His heart for 'victims of love' who would 'radiate His love on souls.' He revealed His pain at the way the poor were neglected, His sorrow at their ignorance of Him, and His longing--His thirst--for their love. He pleaded with her: 'My little one--come--come--carry Me into the holes of the poor.--Come be My light.--I cannot go alone--they don't know Me--so they don't want Me. You come--go amongst them, carry Me with you into them.--How I long to enter their holes--their dark unhappy homes.'" Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, Ed., "Jesus is My All and All"<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Lord, may I be a 'victim of Your love' that 'radiates' that love in the 'holes of the poor' and unloved.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790258313959985872.post-13448554144942509982009-01-13T08:03:00.000-08:002009-01-13T08:04:45.952-08:00Free Choice"The nature of love is that it requires us to be able to choose. If God took away our choice, people could only behave in the way that God programmed them to. Wars would cease, hunger would end, and poverty would only be an ancient memory. But the desperate cry of the human heart that beats with passion for a loving relationship with the most beautiful Being in the entire universe would be gone too."
