Finished - I am so glad

I am so glad that our blog is finally finished and now everyone can get on and share their thoughts and ideas. This is another way to be able to bring forth your hidden talent of writing. Everyone has stories, so share them, maybe a favorite bible verse or poem or just a question that is on your mind. I am not a expert on this blogging thing, so we will all learn together, I think it will be lots of fun . I can't wait to see who is going to be the first one to BLOG! B

Prayerwalking

What a way to seek God and to pray for your neighbors and pray over your neighborhood, all at the same time. God's word tell us to "pray without ceasing." Remember that prayerwalking is about walking with Jesus in your world. He wants us to talk to Him where ever we are and what ever we're doing and to pray especially for those around us. Doing this wonderful task of getting fresh air, exercise and talking to God may present you the opportunity to tell someone else all about the Jesus that you love and that loves the world. How exciting this can be to let that person know that Jesus lived and died for them too, just like He did for you and me. And the best part is He's alive today and wants to have a relationship with you. Blessings and success as you learn to prayerwalk.

Faith

We know that the Bible says God will answer our prayers if we pray according to His will. 1 John 5:14 says; "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." So we asked, "What's the problem?" The problem is, we think God needs our help sometimes and all we are doing is getting in His way. Just pray God's will be done according to His will and timing and sit back and rest in Him and watch His mighty hand at work.

Meribah

We have learned that "meribah" means to grumble or complain, but we also have learned if we rest in the Lord we will find peace. "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulations; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33) There is only one thing that God requires of us to enter into this moment by moment sabbath, the place of perfect peace and stability. That is 'faith". God has given us His word and it is full of His promises. We all need to read and ponder on them. His word says; "Your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." (1 Cor. 2:5) What a good word for such a time as this. Be blessed and rest in the Lord.

Going - Over

My little electronic dictionary tells me that the word (going) means to proceed on a certain course or go slow. And the word (over) means, across a barrier or intervening space. There has been a lot of going-over in the little prayer house these last few months. First we gave the building a good going over, New paint inside and out, new floors inside, out with the old and in with the new. The going was slow , the ladies had set a certain course and it took time to get there but the results are outstanding.We had plenty of barriers to cross but we prevailed and made our goal. We have experienced some (going- over) in our personal lives thur this time too.
Many have felt the aches and pains hard work brings. (we are not as young as we use to be) A lot of our routines were disturbed, our prayer times were changed a lot, we prayed over literal barriers a lot those months but the house was never closed for repair. Prayer was lifted up there everyday right on time. The Ladies were blessed and blessed with God's faithful blessings . His blessing always right on time every time we needed it. Thanks goes to all the Praying Ladies for all the hard work, the prayers, the money that was given, the voices of appreciation and encouragement . Psalm 90-17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes establish the work of our hands. We pray for the Lord to rest on the work of our hands. B
