LIFE

I am captivated by the web sight of Heidi and Rolland Baker.






Children praying for Heidi before the message.


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.

By taking pleasure in our God, we rout the
enemy.

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

Crushed

Gen.3:15 He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise His heal.

He did it ! This is a bit of a gruesome picture, but I need to remember the significance of the unseen battle that rages around us. I am grateful for the ultimate Truth of the Victory that Jesus won the day He poured out His Life to save me. Is. 53.

In a previous post by John Paul Jackson, the point that the Lord brought home to me was the statement that, ''they have not come against you, they have come against Me. I will deal with it.'' And He did.

I am thankful for the reminder that it is not always me, (though sometimes it is,) who has messed up, or missed God. There are other forces, always working, trying to cause us to stumble, trying to cause us to doubt the Word of God Himself, to accuse Him of all manner of things.

My journey has been a struggle having difficulty seeing the path even remembering the promise in the first place.
There has been a spirit of fear that has been dogging my steps, trying to have me accuse God of His ability to provide and accusing myself of not hearing in the first place so why should He ? It's crazy ! Truth is He is Always here and it is the voice of my pain that deafens me to this awareness sometimes .

I wonder at the mystery how sometimes God seems silent but really He is shouting in our ears.

Amazing!
