In the email this was translated as

If you wait for perfect conditions you never get anything done.

what you have and not wait until the circumstances are… Continue

Quote of the day: Graham Truscott

Today I started reading Graham Truscott’s “You Shall Receive Power” (http://www.truscottmissions.com/GrahamBooks.htm) and I’d like to share the following quote from the book the title of which is derived of course from Acts 1:8:

“We simply have not had the the Power to obey our Lord’s command “to preach the Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15 which is understood be me as all creation a in the NIV translation.)…

Hanging onto God's Word: The Bible an the Butterfly

Some time ago I posted a picture of one of the ‘adopted’ butterflies in the house after we’d rescued the cocoons from the winter cold. When going through my archive I stumbled upon the pictures below and upon a

closer look I realized that this was probably even more amazing. Of all

the places this good butterfly could have chosen to sit down after the

first short flight, it…

THE GREATEST FRIEND

Even birds say hi.

When you pass them by

Ivories clamber too

To pay tribute to you.

Because you're so strong.

You captured the throng

That once shadowed you.

They fancy you too.

I know a good thing

And, you clearly bring

Joy, peace and love

Gentle as a dove.

A perfect friend

Through thick and thin,

It would be silly

To gild the lily.

Tried tested and true

I do love…

Blessings Un-expected

In the Bible the Lord says: Those that help the poor are really helping me (The Lord), and in return I will help him that has helped me".

This is so true. I have been giving blankets and clothing to the poor recently out the depths of my heart without expecting anything in return but here it came that I myself was in need of help to get clothing for my children for school which starts next week b/c both of their fathers are gone and I am a single parent. Well, here a woman came and bought… Continue

THE ULTIMATE DREAM

The Holy City Hymn

Last night I lay a-sleeping There came a dream so fair,I stood in old Jerusalem Beside the temple there.I heard the children singing,And ever

as they sang, Me thought the voice of angels From heaven in answer rang.

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Lift up your gates and sing, Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna to your King!

And then me thought my dream was changed,The streets no longer rang, Hushed were the glad…

TESTIMONIAL OF GOD'S MERCY AND LOVE-IN MEMORY OF KEN

As some of you may already know, just over two months ago God answered a prayer I prayed and opened a door for me to walk through,and to realize a dream come true. I prayed that if it was truly HIS will to lead me back to Lake Huron that I needed a door to open. The very next morning I logged into my email and that door opened so wide and so soon after my prayer that there was no way this could have come from anyone but God even though that old devil attempted to sneak in and try to convince me… Continue

Deaf & Dumb Spirits

Deaf and Dumb Spirits

Advanced Insights - Into Spirit World Realities

is a new program offered by Be in Health that provides just that.

When we have ungodly order in our homes, it allows another kingdom to remove from us the purity of our contact with the will of God and the Word of God as a work of the Holy Spirit. It allows deaf and dumb spirits to access our souls through theta brain wave activity and the pathways of intellect, the pathways of processing symbolism,… Continue

It Is For You

I remember one time when I received a message that's so reveling and so clear. Hurriedly, I took my pen and pad and wrote it down. And I made it my topical sermon. After the service I felt so heavy on my shoulders, so I asked the Lord about it, then he said "son that message is for you, I'm telling that to you".. That was the time I learned the two directional revelation from the Lord that must be taken to considered. Not all the…

For a better world —

We all long for a more peaceful world. It is a common desire. Just like hunger points to food and thirst points to water, so our universal ache for a better and

more peaceful world means that such a world either once existed or will

one day exist. In the Christian worldview, God created a good,

wonderful world. In the beginning, everything was right with each

other. When God was in charge, we had a wonderful world. But we…
