No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow. ~ Alice Walker

 

The Lord is saying. See !... I told you if you walked with me you would see my victory. Don't stop now but walk after me as I lead you in triumphal procession over everything that seeks to come against my Kingdom of peace within you. I will crush satan under your feet.

Psa 18:37-42 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not. Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

 

Adventures in India

....Friday 11th December 09

What a busy day!!! A pastor's meeting in the morning on the outskirts of Tenali. Gudrun gave a word, Anita a testimony and we sang song's.

The pastors' wives were there and the children. They were so joyful as they sang. It was a wonderful time of fellowship. We prayed for the people individually, giving prophecies.

of how God used us to
pray for a dying man ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Letting go of all that holds us back

part one

When we open our hands to give God the thing that we have been clinging to, He replaces it with something so much better.

Matthew 19: 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

Its easy to find out where we are lacking in trust of God by trusting in something else instead.The things that we cling to for security are the things that we often fear losing . But when our security is in God alone we will never need to be afraid.....Everything else has the potential to let us down eventually, but God never will.

I don't know about you. I've not arrived at that place of fully trusting yet but I'm not where I used to be either. Its a life long journey into maturity, letting go and trusting God, and sometime we regress into our comfort zones for a while; Its all part of growing. It can be two steps forward and one back. My children needed comfort blankets and dummies to keep them happy, it took a while to finally "wean" them from these "securities" but we got there in the end. Similarly the Lord wants us to grow into maturity..

The eagle pulls the feathers out of the nest when its time for her egrets to fly. Things become rather uncomfortable for the fledglings for a while, so they will not be so reluctant to leave the nest. Similarly the Lord won't let us settle for less than the very best and only in Him will we "soar in confidence and freedom".

God allows the things that can be shaken to be shaken so that we will learn to build our trust in Him, His word and promises... for our supply and security, and be built on an eternal foundation.

Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away..

Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:28-29, NIV

Just Joking...

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: “That’s the ugliest baby that I’ve ever seen. Ugh!” The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: “The driver just insulted me!” The man says: “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I’ll hold your monkey for you.”
