Believe that God can . ..instead of whether it's His will To believe that God can...is your business Whether God want's to...that's totally His business... You do what you can.

This very beautiful painting of Ilse Klein reminds me of a vision I received from the Lord of my mom. Shortly after my mom died I bombarded the Lord with questions about my mom, all I wanted to know was 'is she ok'. I knew she suffered from depression even though she tried to hide it from us and it was of utmost importance to me that she had a purpose, that she is doing 'something'. She has had such a hard life, gone through things no one could imagine, and finally died of leukemia without us even knowing it. I needed her to be happy for a change - it was all I ever wanted for her. And then one night I had a vision... I saw my mom riding on a horse - of all things, with Jesus and they were fighting off the enemies! She was focused and had a purpose! I never needed to ask God anything about her again, I had peace knowing she was in 'good hands'. What a beautiful God we serve.

Jesus, I finally see The cross, the nails, You went through hell Just to get to me Oh Lord, King of kings To think You wore a crown of thorns Just to get to me I leave it all at the cross Here I will lay my guilt and shame I leave it all at the cross ~ Iron Bell Music

The Corona pandemic has created a social and broadcast media pandemic. Videos are spread and fear mongering is the order of the day. I want to remind you what our instructions are. To think of things above and not on earth. To think of things that are true, good and lovely. To fill our minds with the Truth (Jesus) and allow it to be renewed by the transforming work of the Holy Spirit and the word. We discard lies and untruths we previously believed for heavenly principles and truths. So in this time consider everything that you look at and participate in. There is a spirit of fear, that is working hand in hand with the spirit of death and infirmity, through the work of this virus.  There is another evil friend that has hopped on fear's back and that is torment. Watch what you think, what you eat mentally, what you talk about. If you find yourself being tormented in your thoughts, go to worship, go to the word, go to any thought that is lovely, good and righteous and meditate on ...

We have every reason to remain hope ful and optimistic.  Because  He lives! We will emerge from this crisis, and hopefully along the way, take stock of our lives. This is truly a time to reflect on what we spend our time on and what we value as important.  I am constantly made aware of the 5 virgins that were not so wise. May we all be as wise as the 5 who had extra oil - so that when the Bridegroom come, we are ready to meet Him.

The Bible tells us there is a time and a season for everything.  The strongest Christian will face life and death, health and sickness, abundance and lack. Things will not always go well. Job experienced that God sometimes allows seemingly bad things to happen (Job 2:10). There is no sense living in denial. The Bible commands the barren to sing , when there appears to be no reason to do so (Isaiah 54:1), when the natural tendency is to give up. Even “righteous people” go through testing times of great intensity. We feel it is hard to worship when things go south. But worship is not about us ; it is about God. It is not geared to sanctifying our traditions and expectations but emphasizing Him. By nature we are all self-centred and proud. We find it hard to express gratitude. We tend to think only of ourselves when things are going well. Christians are not immune from the highs and lows of relationships and personal feelings about circumstances. It is in looking back that we c...

In my frame of reference, the most remarkable, most powerful, but most simple truth, is that God is real and that He is faithful to His children.
