This child was healed . She was a deaf mute.
My heart is moved and deeply stirred when I read the accounts of God on the move. I miss You Lord! What will it take to see Jesus come freely among us I wonder ?
This is a bit from the latest newsletter that touched me deeply.
“Though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory” (1 Pet. 1:9).
Faith and joy are rare commodities among us, but valuable and precious beyond words. How extraordinary that we chase after other things in our meetings, at the expense of these. Our salvation is complete in Him, and we honor our God by not detracting from the all-sufficiency of the Gospel.
We trust Jesus to save us from ourselves. We trust Him to take initiative in and through us. All bright ideas come from Him, and He has no lack of them! We are set completely free from all pressure. There is no compulsion in His Kingdom.
In Jesus we are the crowning achievement of all His creative power. We find our greatest liberty at the point of His most complete control, where we are set free by His Spirit to do what is most spectacularly, ravishingly perfect.
We and our lives are the field of the activity of His mind, which we must never underestimate. We are the outcome and substance of His joy.
By His Spirit we partake of His pleasure, tasting the perfection of relationship that could rise only from His infinite imagination.
He delights in His own handiwork, which is our delight in Him.
How perfect is our God!
So in Africa we miraculously maintain a positive outlook in the face of the worst Satan can do. We lower ourselves in broken humility, only to rise in the joy of the Lord, more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

You are welcome here Lord. Please come near us once again.

Hi Nancy -- haven't taken a look at the link yet. Wish there was a soundtrack for the fiddle -- it just HAS to be fiddle-stuff by the look on their faces!
Just to let you know I'm trying out the blogging again -- just a tiny start and may not post too often -- we shall see!
Those are powerful images.
