Brateng's Comments

Hello my dearest bother ,Bernhard,I do hope this finds you well .Just a short note to say that our Spirit is still strong between us even though we dont seem to correspond that often now .I still often think of you because you are such a strong inspiration to me,if I had half your faith ,I would be so much more blessed.My heart cries out to The Lord to find a partner with whom I can share my love of Christ with,I have met a girl who is such a treasure for me ,but for so many reasons I feel she deserves someone so much better,I know that in Gods time and not mine He will do what is best for me , but I pray that if this sweet girl is not destined for me that God will watch out for her and that she finds the best man she so richly deserves.I am sorry for giving you my troubles but it is just good to let someone else as well as Jesus , know what I am feeling now.Your bro in Christ Andrew ,Gods speed.

How are you and your family? We are all here missing you a lot and I am missing you too brother. It has been a very long time since you left comments on my page. Nothing in texts too. Sister Carol Hill frequently asked about you too and no news on my page from sister Nienie. May God bless you and your family always and one day let you be back with your ministry in this site. We are waiting impatiently for your return.... You are most welcome and God bless you and your family and your ministry abundantly always.

Hello brateng ,long time no talk .Much has been happening in my life,I have been away, on and off for last 5 months driving big mining trucks and have since been laid off because of world finance collapse and drop in copper prices ,so am back shearing again .My wife has left me now ,(another man is involved)so reconcilliation is doubtful ,maybe now the trials she has she may see why I always rely on Jesus to pull me through ,I still pray for her ,that she will recieve him.God often makes our roads a little rough so he can see how we go about smoothing them out,with my faith I know I can weather this storm,and I pray that my children can weather it as well. Any ways it is good to be able to write back to you again and I trust your life is going good for you ,be good to hear back soon Gods speed,your brother in Christ, Andrew.

Dearest Brother Bernhard
It is a surprise and happiness for me to find your comment on my page. Because you seem like disappearing farther away each day. I will always pray for WAYAN Salvation from the Lord. May God fill your heart with the Spirit of joy, love and peace today and always too! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year again dearest brother and hope you can find time to be with me and us like before. You are always welcome and God bless you abundantly always.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year,in this season i believe all we can do is to rejoice in his glory for he's been a good God and as we take a review of the year we need to start by taking account of the prayers and prophetic words that we've spoken over our lives.
What did the steward of God speak at the beggining of the year 2008 that has not been fulfilled and ask ourselves where we missed the mark for in Jos 1:6 which to me is this generations mission statement when we continue in our pursuit of God and fulfilling the word "Men ought to pray" i believe we will have a powerful year 2009 only if we stand on his word plus the prophetic words that have been spoken to us.

God bless you.

Dearest Brother Bernhard
Thank God that I was not mistaken about your birthday. At 12 Dec 2008 Dyana and Wayan were wedded and Angela, Henning and Maximilian is still in Jakarta till today, but this afternoon they are leaving with Dyana and Wayan etc to Bali for 5 days, and be back in Jakarta by the 24th Dec. So I am busy meeting them. Please pass my love to Mary and the kids. God bless you abundantly always.

Hello Dear Brother Brateng,
I hope you are doing great. Its such long time since I was on AAG site I even missed its Birthday. how are the kids and your wife. have missed you guys so much. I thank God that today I have been able to leave some of my friends a short message.
Actually I wanted to let you know that you are always in my prayers and thoughts.
Loving You always in Christ Jesus.
Lorna.

I feel like shouting too Brother! Our God is awesome! I have such peace today in my soul.

I have a resolve like the 3 hebrew children in that I know my God can do anything, and even if He doesn't, it makes no difference because I will never bow to defeat and give up to discouragement.

I receive the word you have sent as from the Lord.
God started the work and He will finish it.

Bless you man of God in all you do, may the overflowing joy of the Lord be your strength.

I remember last summer the Holy spirit fell on your church at the same time as ours, so my expectations are that God is about to send another wave of the Spirits cleancing, delivering, santifying, renewing, and healing power upon the Church throught the world.
In the love of jesus

Collin Raye - What I Need

I knew all the answers
The way my life should go
And when I used to say my prayers
I would tell God so
It seemed He wasn't listening
I thought He didn't care
But lookin' back
It's plain to see
He was always there

'Cause I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

I'm not sayin' that it's easy
Or that it doesn't hurt
When nothing seems to go my way
Nothing seems to work
These days I'm getting better
At goin' with the flow
Accepting that sometimes the answer
To a prayer is no

'Cause I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

Every time I've had a door slammed in my face
In time a better one was opened in its place

I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

Oh I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

Bro' i believe that as believers in Kenya there is need to stand in the gap to see this nation restored to what God has called it to be,

ARE YOU PLEASING PEOPLE OR ARE YOU PLEASING GOD?

Do you realize that ucountable numbers of people are anxious to
Please the Crowd instead of God?

We all know that there are people who are "born dictators" and others are "attention seekers"...

When in a position of authority they do not consider anyone's feelings... Some Governments strive to please the people despite the millions who are hurt in the process... Others cause pain and suffering because of obstinacy and a self-centred attitude, and then you realise that this is because they do not know God.
Pontius Pilate wanted to please the people. So he freed Barabbas
for them. And Pilate told the soldiers to beat Jesus with
whips. Then Pilate gave Jesus to the soldiers to be killed on
a cross. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent and yet he ignored this fact because he was trying to please the people!

-- Mark 15:15 (ERV)

Pilate knows Jesus is innocent, yet gives in totally to the wishes of
the mob -- he first has Jesus scourged ("flogged with a lead-tipped
whip") and then turns Jesus over to be crucified. Why does he do it?
Pilate has to keep Rome happy by maintaining order. To maintain order,
Pilate has to appease the crowd. Even though he has already pronounced
Jesus "not guilty" of any crime, Pilate has the final say. In his mind,
his word is law. In the eyes of the crowd, Pilate's word is law. Jesus,
however, knows that Pilate has no power to act, rule, or enforce his
verdict apart from God's granting him that power. Pilate is a puppet
who cannot recognize that he acts in concert with the crowd's will,
Rome's desire, and God's plan. Jesus is allowed to be crucified -- both
by Pilate, to appease the crowd which is being manipulated by the
religious leaders, and also by God, who is using this horrifying event
to save the world. If God can bring such a great redemption out of such
an unfair injustice, imagine what he can do with our suffering for his
sake.
Can any one of us imagine what it must take to sacrifice your child! I cannot!

TODAY'S PRAYER:
O God, you are the Almighty, the one in control even when I cannot see
Your control. Help me to understand that you will redeem every
injustice brought upon your people at your chosen time. Give me the
faith and strength to endure such times and the courage to live my life
in the hope that even if the scales of justice are not balanced in my
lifetime, they will be at the end of time. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Hi Brother, it has made my thanksgiving to hear from you! I spent the day with my brother and his family. He is home but will be bed ridden for the next 3 months due to a wound from sitting to much in his wheel chair and they had to cut a huge hole in his thigh to remove the infection. He has recovered from pneumonia. My sister is also recovered and back home,
I am thankful that they both received Jesus in the last year. My nephew max also received the Lord.
Yes I have also had to face loss in my family, but the 3 of them are all with the Lord and I shall see them again. I am most thankful for god leading to the net and meeting wonderful people like yourself who have enriched my life. I consider you all as just an extension of my local church. I actually talk more to you all than my own church because I am here every day. I am a better Christian because of my interactions here. I am much more world conscience than I use to be.
This net has also given me the opportunity to speak into the lives of those in South Africa which I have been praying for, for many years. God has given me the privilege to strengthen the brethren throughout the world also. So I am thankful and praise and worship the Lord for all these things.
I will talk to you soon. Please know that you are truly are a great man of God in my eyes. Know that as you do your ministry that God has called you to do, that great will be your reward in Heaven. God does not forget your acts of love and kindness that you show forth in his name.
In the love of Jesus

Hi Brother, Maurene told me that you had an exciting time last week and flew for the first time. My first time flying was nice on a DC10 which was a big plane, but I have never flown on a small plane and think it would be much more intence. My ears would plug up and I got air sick on a big plane , I hate to see how I would react on a small plane. lol
Well I hope you had a good trip.

It is really quiet on line today because everyone is busy travelling and getting ready for thanksgiving here in the US. I am kind of glad so I can leave some notes for all my old friends. I am so thankful for the gas and oil prices dropping because of the onset of winter here. The price is more than half from last August. It is hard to discribe money to others online but I think you can get what I am saying. If the price had stayed high it would have cost as much as some make in a month to heat their homes. I thank God for this so much.

I hope all is going well with your church and your family. I tell many of my friends about you and your wonderful heart for the Lord. I have to say that one thing I am thankful for this year is meeting you. You have enriched my life and my faith. Maureen and myself both said we know where would go to church if we lived in Kenya.

So brother just keep planting seeds and you will soon recieve a harvest of souls. God smiles when He thinks about you and your family. God bless you friend
