STILL...

After two weeks of raging storms (spiritual), the Lord has brought wonders of wonderful glories.

A couple living in domestic violence seek God and Christian fellowship:
Gideon and Dennis and I went to York, PA last week and ministered to a back-slidden lady and her live-in who claims to have been Muslim. He knows he needs the peace that he had when he was practicing his faith. We were able to share the One True peace with him and his girlfriend, Christ: the peace that passes understanding (Phil 4:7). We also ministered to his son, who wants to run away. Gideon and Dennis went back this week and Kareem is ready to come to the Lord and to church. They also ministered to the son and father encouraging them toward a healthier, God-centered relationship.

Dennis reports: "Man, the Holy Spirit moved powerfully! It was awesome!"

The day before we were at Allison Hill, Harrisburg, PA. A lady full 0f faith confessed that God will continue to deliver her and heal her. As we prayed for her knees to be replaced, all pain went away and she started dancing in the streets!

Also, that day, we met a fellow, I'll call him Ole'. He had been raised in a crack house since he was 12 years old and just wasn't ready to meet Christ, but knew that God put us in His path, so he listened; we talked, discussed faith and the hope in Christ. Eventually, he allowed us to pray for the Lord to heal his hurts and change his heart and mind. Folks, this neglected young man had been a crack dealer, but that day, God turned his life around and he committed to attend Bible study and prayer. He asked God to change him, and you can be sure that He will.

Joh 11:22 But I know that even now, whatever You will ask of God, God will give You.
(This passage is to Martha, Christ encouraging her in the loss of her brother, Lazarus, who will be raised from the dead).

The Glory goes to God, who still lives, by the power of the Holy Ghost, and promises this:
Joh 14:12 "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in Me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.
Joh 14:13 You can ask for anything in My name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.
Joh 14:14 Yes, ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it!
Joh 14:15 "If you love Me, obey My commandments.

And this is the last command before Christ left this earth to prepare a place for us in heaven:
Mar 16:15 And then He told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.
Mar 16:16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.
Mar 16:17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe...

BLESSED BELIEVERS:
Joh 20:29 Then Jesus told him, "You believe because you have seen Me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing Me."

And now, despite the storm, I am still because God is with us.

Psa 46:7 Jehovah of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Psa 46:8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, who makes ruins on the earth;
Psa 46:9 who makes wars to cease to the ends of the earth; He breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots in the fire.
Psa 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God! I will be praised among the nations, I will be praised in the earth.
Psa 46:11 Jehovah of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Amen

Donna D--living it out, by the grace of God
who loved us:
Rom 5:8 But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

GETting REAL, cause reality is CHRIST, and CHRIST CRUCIFIED.

GREAT LOVE ALMIGHTY! (ravens!!) (to the tune of "great leaping batfire-bat-man! robin)
