Profile Information:

- Country (not County)
- Kenya
- Occupation:
- Evangelist, motivational speaker and HR & Legal Co-ordinator
- I'm here to...
- Link-up and fellowship with all those who worship God in truth and in spirit...to laugh with those who are laughing and to cry with those who are crying and to not only share their pain, but try to lessen it for them in Christ Jesus!
- Interests:
- I like everything in life knowing that all that happens is God's will for me and that He will always act for my utmost good according to His divine plan. Many things puzzle me...yes...but nothing takes my happiness out of my hands for I know that Jehovah God is in control. Nothing can ever take the truth He has laid out in Romans8:28 from my heart; ALL THINGS WORK OUT FOR MY GOOD. How so wonderful!!!
- I'm passionate about...
- Making millions of disciples and winning souls for God! I glory in selflessness for He was selfless...He lived for others and though the owner and originator of all, He chose to live a poor man's life. In the same footsteps, I attach very little importance to material things (which are at best only momentary) and have taught my family to aspire for the secret joy derived from giving. We therefore own so little except the very basic!
- My story with God
- He is the starter and finisher of my faith through His glorious and wonderful Son Jesus Christ. After spending considerable time chasing the vanities of this world, I have come to accept the fact that there is no thrill like knowing and living for Christ. I was once a Catholic of Catholics...and if there is any one thing I know know for sure, it is that CATHOLISM (AND "RELIGIOSITY AS A WHOLE)" IS THE ONE MOST DANGEROUS weapons satan is using to divide the sheep and lead masses to their eternal damnation. I let anyone who would care to listen know this...those people don't worship Jehovah God the way He has decreed to be worshipped! Let all who have ears listen to what the spirit of the Lord is saying!
- Other stuff about me:
- I am what one may comfortably label "everyone's servant" and a man for all seasons. I go out of my way to comfort all...more so ladies, who life has treated cruelly, more often than not....in the hands of unconverted men. I cry daily when I see the attrocities meted out on innocent children...even by those closest to them. I am mad about children...I just love kids and spend most of my time with them. I strive daily to be a pillar in prayer...and although I fail repeatedly, I know that Christ looks down on me from His high seat and count all my pitiable struggles for righteousness. I cherish prayers for therein lies my (and yours too) only victory over life's challenges! I adorn daily God's Spiritual armour before I step out as outlined in Ephesians 6:11. It is His WAR...we can only win it through HIS ARMOUR...not our pitiable efforts. He won it already for us, hallelujah!!! Worshiping the Lord in truth and spirit is fun...and truly enjoyable!!! I invite all to give Christ their all. You will never regret the effort.

Brother I think about you every day, so do not ever think that my heart would ever become cold to you.You are in my heart forever!!!!!!
Check out my forum walking on the water in His presence.
His Word and His presence together. I had an expearence last Sunday that has changed my life. My friend and I went to minister to a member of our church who hurt his back and also has been slipping away from the Lord.
We had to go to his bedroom because he was in so much pain he couldn't get up.
We started to minister to his soul, sharing our testimonies of how God has worked in our live. We did this for at least 2 hours, then we begain to pray for another hour.
The Holy Spirit came into the room so powerfully that it felt like we were under water.
We left the brother in the glory and praise God I had another friend say he saw him back at work yesterday.
I never felt the presence of the Lord like that. It is like my spiritual eyes openend a little bit more to what it means to be in his presence. All things are possible in His presence.
In the love of Jesus

Yes, I will have a paralel fast and prayers in Jesus Name for the moslems all over the world that they will accept Jesus as their God and The Only One Savior. Especially for Wayan my future in law, Atty my only sister and my moslem families. Got a lot to do even in prayers. My heart is so sad when I think about them all around me. The devil blinds their hearts and inner eyes from the Truth. And the moslem in Indonesia is about 85% more. But I praise the Lord, I can see with my own eyes how He broadens Tiberias Church everywhere. Please pray for Tiberias Church brother and let us hand in hand to win the moslems too for Jesus Christ. Just stay blessed in Jesus' way always. God bless you all there in Malindi brother.

I would like to say first of all my brothers and my sisters, it is high time for us to find our strength, peace, joy, hope, and comfort in the Lord, not in man. As human beings so many times we are so limited, in the things we can do. often times the Lord uses us to help others in different capacity, yet it is never suppose to be a permanent fix. Yet our help is never suppose to become the persons source of joy, peace, and happiness. As believers, and especially as leaders we are suppose to be "signpost" of the Lord, always pointing people to Christ, and not ourselves. the Bible says, "The arms of flesh and blood will fail you". Sometimes we want to help people and we can't. Their are times when people would rather come to us, and take the short cut, as oppose to spending time with the Lord.They want all the blessings of the Lord, with absolutely no responsibilty from themselves. I know that so well, because of the office that the Lord uses me in as a Prophtess and Pastor. Some people constantly want to a"hear a word from the Lord", and that is okay some of the Time, and when the Lord instructs the person to give a Word from Him..Yet their is nothing like getting into the Word, that is the Word of God in the Bible. Sometimes as human beings we just want a word to make us feel better, but the Lord wants us to get all of the word, so that we will be better! Every last one of us should strive to have a deeper, more intmate relationship with the Lord, and ask the Lord to give us a hunger for Hima nd His Word..
Okay often in this walk with the Lord, in our spiritual journey, The Lord allows people in our lives for a season. It might be for months, days, or years. Nevertheless it all serves God's purpose. Yet when that season is up, we have to let go and move on. What we try to do sometimes, is take the relationship from the last season, into the new season. It never works, why because the Lord is changing us from glory to glory, we just don't fit anymore, and their is no harmony or peace. People may even feel hurt or angry with us, because they want to hold us to the "old us". Yet it is more important to obey the Lord than it is people. If we please the Lord, we ar definately going to disappoint people. If we please people, than we cannot please the Lord.
Often times as leaders, other people try to put us on a pedestel. it is true as leaders we are given more responsibility from the Lord.They want to hold us to a completely different standard. They expect us to be perfect, never to error, never to fall short, always to be in help mode. Yet we are people just like they are. Sure we are anointed, yet no one walks in the anointing 24 hours a day. We have families, we have needs, we have hurts, spiritual battles, and our own issues. So often their are times when people confuse the Aointing of God and the gift, with the person. Yet God uses us according to His Will and His way.It is time for all of us to turn our hearts to the Lord, and stop looking to man!. W hat we need done in our lives, only the Lord really can do it!
Tthe enemy has tried to torment you with a spirit of guilt, yet I take Authority over the spirit of guilt, deception,and confusion , and I cast it down in the "Matchless Name Of Jesus Christ. I speak Peace to your mind, and heart, to your family and Ministry.Take time to "Lay In The Son".

I prayed for you Brateng and I see a prayer has been answered - a chapter has been closed and a new page has been turned over. We start with a new page in a brand new journal which we can fill with love and prophesies ... We can fill it wil love and encouragement. We can fill it with Peace and Hope and Faith and Charity...
When God is for us nothing can be against us! He is a wall which protects us from evil and from danger and from anyone who should not enter.... Stay in the comfort zone of our Jesus and Saviour... Rest your weary head upon his shoulder - or even better - let him carry you through the path of thorns and stones! Relax and feel His peace wash over your body, mind and soul! He is the Alpha and Omega... forever and ever .... and ever... and ever.... ETERNITY...

Read through your comments a bit and I am glad that a bad chapter is now closed.
Praise God for forgiveness and that we can go to Him in prayer for everything happening in our lives. And we must remember that the devil uses all of us to to complete his destruction in the world and then he uses people weak points and hurts as a way to get what he wants. Praise God if we can bind his works and people can asks forgiveness and learn to trust each other again.
Miss our chats and conversations, we have so much cathing upto do!!
Give my love to MAry and the kids and be at peace for Father is taking care of you !!
Love from all your family down South!

Just remember that if we know He is with us we can go through anything, face any obstacle, endure hardship, and overcome any giant. The praise comes out of the reality of the fact that He is there.
Some how the obstacle that is like a giant we are facing becomes nothing when He stands by our side.
Psalm 16:11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever
Psalm 21:6 For You make him most blessed forever; You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence.
Psalm 36:7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
Psalm 36:8 They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.
Psalm 43:4 Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.
Psalm 46:4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
Brother Brateng, The Lord is for you and with you, He is as close as the mention of his name.
The Lord is teaching me about dealing with disappointments also. I know that this is something we must know how to respond to as Christians, and those who are pastors must learn this lesson well to be an effective minister.
Ministers can spend hours trying to help some one, to have that same person rise up to abuse and assault them. It feels like your spinning your tires and not getting any where in the work you know God wants to do.
It is the enduring, the standing, the day to day serving and loving people. It is doing the right thing when everyone else is not.
I have a pastor friend who lives in Florida now who is in his 70s. This man ministered in my city for 45 years, his church never grew to more than a hundred or so. But this man managed to build a beautiful church building that can fit hundreds, The church has given much money to missionaries around the world, He preached in the prison for 40 years every Saturday night. He visited people in the hospitals, even those who did not attend his church anymore. Pastor Dan was the one who put his hands on me and prayed for my deliverance and was my Pastor for 8 years. It was in His church that in a praise service I was delivered. Glory to God!
Father God you are Brilliant as the sister taught us a while back, you greatness in our lives is so wonderful. Father in your wisdom you have given us the oil of Joy and a garment of praise, You have also given us beauty for ashes. The beauty is your your presence in our lives. Father today open our spirits to see you a little more, pull the Vail back so we can see your face a little bit more. I know my brother has the same desire I have, and that is to know you more. Help us to love others a little bit more, help us to believe you a little bit more for lost souls to be saved. Father we an find our courage in you so we can share just a little bit more of who you are to those you have given us to minister to.
Father my brother feels like David some times in the cave with his sorry bunch of outcast he called his army. Thank you God that you are transforming these people into a mighty army for God. As my brother ministers allow the Spirit of wisdom and revelation came upon him, confirm the word with signs and wonders. Holy Spirit work through Pastor Brateng, and help him to do the part you have called him to do for you. It is his mission and you are with him and will never leave him or forsake him in Jesus name.
In the love of Jesus.

Prove the strength of our anchor…..
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine
and puts them into practice is like a wise man
who built his house on the rock.- Matt.7:24
Living for the Lord,serving Him each day,
Best prepares the soul for the stormy way;
Then as trials come,tempting to despair,
We can rest secure,safe within His care.
God bless u my dear friend....
