This month has been full of the Lord’s presences. I have experienced God working through me in powerful ways. I am forever being changed for His glory. Thank you for praying and encouraging me.
I want to wish you all a…
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
A couple of Christmas stories from this month…
I went to an all women’s bible study. There were over 20 women there who were all seeking the Lord. I have been trusting God, and walking by faith, and He has been doing what He needs to do and I get to watch Him do it. not knowing what to share beforehand, scriptures just poured out of me. while spending some time in prayer, the Lord gave me a broken heart; I had no idea what it was from, it had nothing to do with me. So I asked of the women, ‘does anyone have a broken heart’? After translation, almost all the women made it known that they had a broken heart. There were lots of tears and the Lord touched and healed hearts. He showed me one girl in particular and made it clear to me that He wanted me to give her a hug. I went to hug her and she held on and wept in my arms. God is giving me His heart for His people. She went on thanking me and thanking me. All I could say to her was, ‘it’s not me, it’s God. He loves you and has you in His arms’. I have seen her twice since then and she is full of joy and so happy that the Lord is wiping her tears away and giving her Joy.
I went and visited a man named Elmer. I walked into a small wooden home, not knowing what I was walking into. I was with two people from a church going door to door, sharing about God’s love-building relationships and loving my brothers and sisters whether they knew it or not. Elmer’s situation literally brought me to my knees – he seemed on death’s door with cancer. The love of God took over my heart and swept over Elmer. We spent time together with the Lord in His presence. God brought words back to his lips and refreshed his spirit. After that visit he wanted more of God, and I came to visit him again. he wanted me to read the Bible to him, to sing worship songs, and pray together this same day he sat up in bed, did a little dance, and even stood on his feet. The doctors had told Elmer just days before that he would die soon, unless a miracle happened. The Lord gave him strength in his weakness. God really showed me His life in Elmer, that among the flesh and bones he was wrapped in, that were failing him, Jesus would never fail him; Elmer believed it. God’s breath was keeping him going and that was it. Elmer is holding on to Jesus and I pray that God will keep Elmer close to Him all the days of his life. Never let go dear friend. Please join me in prayer for Elmer and his family – his mother, wife and two teenaged children.
A couple of thoughts from the past three months…
I have been thinking, ‘when am I going to wake up and realize I am living in another world’?. But the reality is I am waking up to another world, the Kingdom of God. Sometimes I think to myself..Where am I?… Is this really me, cause it sure does not look like me… So many times I have been amazed to see God at work in my weakness, in my helplessness, in the depths of my heart, and in different parts of the world. I was thinking about this, it’s not that God all of a sudden showed up and started working. He opened my eyes and my ears, I expect to see Him everywhere I go, in all that I do, in every word that I speak and the way I react. It is Him loving me, living in me, and by His grace I see glimpses of His glory. Not because I deserve it, prayed enough, or followed all the right rules. He knows my heart and He knows yours too. During this Christmas, I want to encourage all of you to let the Lord love you, take heart for He has overcome the world. Believe it-really, and live. Spend it in the presence of the Lord. And know that this is the greatest gift of all. All for His glory!
Love you all and am praying that you will have a Christmas that is more than just another great time,
and that it is full of the Lord’s love and grace.
Love you all and you are all on my heart
