Toxins In The Body

Greetings to my dear sisters-in-Christ,

A precious sister-in-Christ had encountered a nest of wasps and was stung several times. She started having problems and after going to the doctor was told that it would take 6 months for all the toxin to work it's way out of her system. And because it is in her blood stream hidden away from sight how does one know if the body is doing it's thing to remove it. A trusting comes in that when the doctor says it will take 6 months that he has been informed through previous encounters that this indeed is a fact. And coupled with the truth that nothing is impossible with God we have asked for an immediate release of the toxins from her body and will continue to believe that God is Sovereign and is working miracles in her body.


Abba Father, thank You that you keep us safe, that You alone are our Strong Tower, our Shield, our Defender. Lord I pray that whatever toxins are in our body would be removed with no lasting or damaging effects. I pray that whatever toxins are in our mind would be removed because Your word says that we have a sound mind and also the mind of Christ. I pray that whatever toxins are in our spiritual walk with You would be removed because Your word says that You direct our steps and You know the way that a man should go. O, most Sovereign Lord I pray that each dear and precious sister-in-Christ would TRUST and KNOW that her Abba Father absolutely and eternally LOVES her. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until next week.

Defragging

Greetings to my dear friends and sisters-in-Christ,

I learned a new word this past week - defragging, short for defragmentation. In the context of computer lingo - I think it means getting all the right colors of the spectrum in a solid block. All the white together, green, blue, etc. One of the computers in our office was very slow in operating in a certain program - our IT guy (computer expert) came and thought that instead of getting a whole new system he would try defragging the computer. Every once in a while I would check how the color spectrum was coming together. I decided that I would like to adopt this word. I am a person who is usually "running amuck" so I think this defragging may be of benefit to me personally.

Two verses in the book of John - verse 14, "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you" and verse 16 "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you" are Truths which I must remember.

Heavenly Father, thank you that you have chosen me. Thank you that you take all of me and call me friend when I obey your commands. Thank you that when I become fragmented You are the One who puts me back in order, who directs my steps. Lord, Abba, I pray for each precious sister-in-Christ that her life would be a reflection of You. Lord put back in order that which has hampered Your Joy, put back in order that which has restricted walking in Your Word, and put back in order that which has robbed Your Truth in each dear life. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until Next Week,

Trip to the Mainland

Greetings dear sisters-in-Christ,

I am going to try and sum up the 2 weeks on the mainland - Left late, arrived early, berry-picking with daughter and grandkids, flying toy helicopters, watching and listening to dearest daughter play the piano, searching for ladybugs, dinner at Outback, shopping at Target, hugs, kisses, praying, going for walks, conversations, fishing, fishing, and more fishing, dinner at friend's house, hugs, and more hugs, building high towers with Legos blocks, hugging stuffed animals, blowing bubbles, listening to grandchildren playing, seeing that special smile that comes from the heart, driving to and fro, flying to and fro, and arriving home early evening. There now wasn't that the most enjoyable journey-just as it was also very special and enjoyable for me. The Lord had some big surprizes in store for me. So wonderfully packed into this special time on the mainland was- 1) the kind of hug that only a grandchild can give, they are special indeed, 2) early morning conversations with daddy, 3) an answer to prayer-my grandson, who is almost 5 came up to me and wanted to tell me something in my ear, when I bent down-he whispered, "gamma, I asked Jesus into my heart". Before I could respond there were distractions all around, and the moment was lost. The next day I told him how very special he was now that he is in the family of GOD. Thank you oh Lord that this little heart has yielded to You. I started praying the moment I heard that he was going to be born that he would accept Jesus at an early age. The Lord is so gracious, so Good, so marvelous.

Abba Father, thank you for family and more precious is Your family. Thank you for answered prayer. Lord God we are Your family. Lord I do desire that my earthly family would become my heavenly family. Lord I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ that she would be encouraged today in knowing that she has a heavenly family that is praying for her. Oh Lord may her days be filled with Your Hope and Joy and Peace and Love as she prays for her earthly family and as she seeks to know her Heavenly Father more and more deeply. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until next week,

Multiple Moves

Greetings to my dear sisters-in-Christ,

How are all of you doing?

A move into a new home, my work moved to a new location, a trip to the mainland with multiple plane flights - Packing, unpacking, repacking, relocating, cleaning, searching, and the most difficult - waiting. Waiting!! Been doing a lot of this lately.
I was trying to make sure that in the packing that I would remember where I had put it so I would be able to retrieve it in a blink of an eye. Yep that's me. Or in my mind that is me. God so clearly showed me and is telling me that this does not define who I am in Christ. What a revelation to me - if this does not than what does? I am learning that it is in the waiting upon the LORD that I am able to know that GOD, my Heavenly Father, the most Sovereign King, my Abba Father will not let anything separate me from HIS LOVE. Psalm 119:77 "Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight."

Heavenly Father, Abba, Praise thee for thy tender mercies that are new every morning. Yes, this morning, which has passed for some and is beginning for others, let it be so. That You bless each dear sister-in-Christ that as she begins and ends her 24 hour day that praises would pour forth from her mouth. Praises that exalt the name of Christ, praises that are pleasing to Your ears, praises that still her heart and mind to REST upon the WORD, praises that ignite the passion to WAIT upon the Lord and as your most precious WORD says in Isaiah 64:4, "For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, Nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for HIM." In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until next week,
