WHERE CHILDREN ROAM

" I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,                                                           O’er mountain, or plain,  or sea; I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord, I’ll be what You want me to be."  [ http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/i/g/igowhere.htm ]

In Spirit and In Truth-Worship

My girls and I were having devotions this morning following a time of worship and prayer. I had read to them from one of our 'sorta' devotional books; ' The One Year Christian History  (from the One Year Bible) http://www.amazon.com/One-Year-Christian-History-Books/dp/0842355073 . Great book, we are always inspired and even educated! We read today about the Cane Revival here in American. It resulted in years of amazing services with people fasting, praying, being healed and of course saved. The question was asked how we would react attending a service like this: one where people were worshiping God with ALL their heart (no reservations) and running to the alters.  Then, he presented Ps. 100.  Remember this verse starts out with SHOUT to the Lord! Then as the girls and I talked I felt a deep leading by the Lord about how we worship and why.  When we sing lovely songs...where is our heart? Do we enjoy singing, simply because we like the song, know the words and maybe lik

DIVINE HEALING-WHAT? FOR TODAY?

Where did it go? I know it's there ... but I can't see it? Is it hidden under this bush or maybe behind that tree? HIDE-N-SEEK! "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" Matthew 7:7 Remember? Fun game wasn't it...looking and knowing that tangible item was somewhere near...all you had to do was to seek and find. The entire meaning of Divine Healing is swirling around in my head and heart since my  last post.  I hope you were able to read my comment I posted at the end of ' Pray As I Am Experiencing My Midnight Hour' .  I question as possibly you have too, why do we not SEE people healed as we have read in the Bible days or even in 3rd World Countries. It makes me think of this game I referred to; is our healing hiding? Or are we seeking? What/Who are we seeking? Ok, I know I am getting a bit philosophical; but good questions to ponder.  I feel the Lord is rising up a people who the Spirit of Go

PRAY AS I AM EXPERIENCING A 'MIDNIGHT HOUR'

I wanted to let my readers know what is currently happening in our lives right at this moment. If you recall last October my husband Brad had a simple knee surgery that turned into a major fiasco. [blood clot, major swelling, heart-a-tack, weeks in the hospital and months of recovering] This past week, Brad's energy level has dissipated. He was doing things I had never seen him to. He seem to not have any strength. Then on Friday he was loosing his breath. So, with his history our MD had him tested for blood clots of which they have not found any. We were sent home to rest. But, Saturday he continued to get worse. God has sent us so many wonderful people in our lives and Sat. was one; we have a dear friend Dave Stankus who is a paramedic, yet a man who loves his Lord. He observed Brad's symptoms and encouraged us strongly to get back to the hospital immediately. The ambulance came to take the Love of My Life to Effingham, IL.  We are pastors at a very special church, a Body t

Remembering Them That Are in Bonds

We have thousands of brothers & sisters in Christ who serve their Lord  Jesus  with amazing zeal and yes, sacrifice. The heat is on! We are approaching the 2nd week of July and the temperatures are rising! Many of us are now taking a turn on our busy roads of life and finding a swimming hole to jump into. Ahhhh, and it feels so good! Whatcha up to, other than taking the plunge? I would love to hear what my (blog) followers and all my readers are diving themselves into; in addition to your regular summer agenda? Seven months ago I made a few resolutions, some I started to keep, others I have not begun. God had a New Years Resolution for me and my family. I am thrilled that He is carrying us down a path this is scary, challenging, eye opening and invigorating. The Lord has led my husband Brad and I, to become Area Director for the Voice of the Martyrs. We are quite humbled being an instrument in His Hands to  help open the American Church of Jesus Christ's eyes to see t
