Orangetree's Comments

Dear Orangetree,
what a wonderful choice of name, that lifting up the spirit just by imagining the colour on a bright Sunday.
Hi...I wrote a letter to you yesterday, but unfortunatelly I mistype the keyboard, it got nowhere.
I am very happy that you reached to me first, it's always very nice when you're new, somebody offer friendship, then I knew what a wonderful person you must be. Reading your story about your experince with God, it only makes me wonder, who are we that God cares for us,that He gives us life here on earth to be able to know Him and then still taking care of us after we leave the world? Who are we that He should care for us, knowing the reality of what a tiny little dust we are compared to the cosmic reality?

Question will go on. But you know what, I happened to read other story of near death experience. You must be belong to our Jesus that you experienced such joy. Some other near death story relating to giving birth that I read was not that joyful. They seemed to wonder to an eerie situation that by remembering it they trembled.

So Orangetree dear, I hope we can share more of the story of how loving and tender our God is.
Peace always be you....and lots of smile !

Wow Orangetree!

The devil's tricks have surely been thwarted. He thought that by accidentally making you place my post here in your page he'd thwart your resolve to uplift Christ's name...he better think twice for the message reached home, hallelujah!

Your testimony and message is indeed from God. I pray that you will stay closer to Him daily and I am glad that you KNOW FOR A FACT that the spirit that was impacted in us when we received Him was one of BOLDNESS and not of COWARDICE! I totally agree that none who carries (and uses!) this blessed name should ever be ashamed of the gospel of Christ...it is the power of God unto all...remember?

Please don't thank me for accepting your friendship request for it is an honour indeed...one bestowed unto us by Christ himself: He commanded us to be ONE as He and the Father are ONE. I will love to hear daily from you dear. And your assurance about praying for me, my family and ministry? Honestly, I am left without words for that is the best gift anyone can ever give....Please, be assured I will do the same for you always.

And friend, just remember that you don't have to change your name simply because I suggested it...Let the spirit of the Lord offer agreement first. I love and miss you-Pst. Bernhard C.

Hi Brateng,
Thank you so much for your comment on my page, I pray also that many
will be inspired by it, as it is directly from God. He has transformed me and is teaching me everyday something new, that brings me closer to Him and I
am getting bolder and bolder and I am able to talk to strangers about Jesus!
Not caring what they might think or say about me! Hallelujah!! He is all that matters to me. I am so blessed, I have the Holy Spirit to guide me!
Thank You for accepting my friendship request, I would like to stay in touch with you and to know what you are doing in your daily life. I will think about your suggestion to change my name. I will pray daily for you and your family and your ministry. Your sister in Christ Jesus.

Dear Orangetree,

May I start by pointing out that yours is one of the most exceptional testimonies I have read in a long time? Infact, as I type this...I am still breathless: it's like you just took me (in a fast ride) to heaven and back! Wonderful...and the way He led you to AAG, stupendous!! don't worry that you chose to stiffle his voice at first...His time is always the perfect time!!

Dear, I see that we have similar likes...for I love children more than anything else. Infact now that I am a pastor, I still miss the simple days when I was a budding Sunday School teacher for the kids in our church, then. Those were my happiest moments...for kids have not the slightest hypocricy in them. I would gladly give away an arm to see the world through the eyes of children. If only grown-ups could have the same traits, this world would be heaven-on-earth. Nomatter Christ exhorts us to be conformed and be like children if we want to inherit his kingdom. And you surprise me too about the last fact: I hope I will be enabled to make you LAUGH so frequently now that we are friends.

I pray over your page now and petition that the Lord may lead many others here so that they can witness the wonderful doings of His hands...among all those who seak Him in truth and in spirit. I pray that everyone who skims through your story be touched by God's spirit the way I am touched....

Thank you for the friendship request...and above all, thank you for the story in your profile...it is infact a powerful sermon in itself! A classic, if one may ask me!!

Will you Kindly allow me to suggest something before I leave? How about changing your 'name' from "orangetree" to "colourfulglory"? It is the first word that came into my mind after I read your story. Anyway, it's just an inkling from my end and you know you don't have to go by it!

Hope to remain in close touch with you always-Pst. Bernhard C.

Dear Sister Orangetree

I see where u commented on my lasted video post but I can t find the comment, new here, i guess i am looking in the wrong place. (smile)

Hi orange tree,
I also felt this way when i read your testimony. I wasborn in the U.S. but have lived a large part of my life in Brazil. I am married and have 3 boys- Jordan 10, Israel 9 and David 8 years old.
My husband is Moysés- which means Moses in Portuguese.
We have been evangelizing and discipling for the last 3 years. We started a home church in my mother's home.
We've had many baptisms. Many people have left Spiritism which is really big here in Brazil.
Anywyas due to some really difficlut circumstances we have had to only have meetings once a month instead of once a week.
We had them once a week for 3 years. But it became impossible with the amount of things on hubby at work. He is a physics teacher and does college at night.
Anyways- it's great to meet you.
Blessings,
Eren

Hi Orangetree,

Here are the lyrics from the song I sent you....great melody...I hope you get high-speed..many blessings...


What if the Armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captive free
And not let Satan have one more
What if the church for Heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And Stormed Hell's rusty gates.
What if His people prayed
and those who bear His name
would humbly seek His face
and turn from their own ways

and what would happen if we prayed
for those raised up to lead the way (President)
then maybe kids in school could pray
and unborn children see lighter day

What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do....

What if His people prayed?
and humbly seek His face
He said that He would hear
His promise had been made
He answered Loud and Clear
If only we would pray...

These are the basic lyrics...

Hello dear sister....The Lord is so faithful to answer our prayers. I Praise God that your prayers were answered.

Regarding others who do not know about a personal relationship with Jesus....I think we have to pray that they will.
Here is a video that I love by the Casting Crowns...

Your brother in Christ
