keep praying

weird how god just comes thru , and suddenly. i have been praying for and witnessing to one of my friends for years, she always has an answer for why not,,,,,,,,,,,i always say jeez god she has a wall up. stubborn, but not to stubborn for god. god definetely has had his hand on her life, all her life without a doubt. today she calls em and we are talking and she says susan when will you be home on friday and i tell her , and she says ill be ther . i said for what, not carig thta shes coming, but still curious. she says you know, that blessing thing to do with jesus, you pray for me. i said ask him into your life, because no man comes to the father except thru the the son. and she says ya, that thing you know.i just thought oh my god, my most stubborn friend in the world, who always had a reason not to except esus, cause he is there without you asking now is ready to ask. god always has a surprise for me. praise god, and please pray for friday, the day the angels will be rejoicing again for another soul. praise god.

praise god

praise god, i thank everyone for their prayers for jordan, especially god for answering them, he is finally out of bed, and breathing much better. praise god..........i have to say some things that come my way when i know i am in gods will, still make me teeter a bit, but god always gives me his grace to hold on, thru a rema word, a person compassionate enough to care to pray, peace that passes all understanding...............i feel like the enemy is trying to topple me, to get me to back down, but i pray for the strength to stand, for i will reap in due season if i faint not. when i think of all the things we have been thru............. and all the things god has brought us thru, you wouldnt even believe some of the testimonies. i truly have been touched with the feeling of others infirmities, on so many levels. i feel like all we have been thru is to prepare me for the people god is sending us too. i can never say oh look at you, how did you get here? if not for gods grace we would be there too.... gods word says when you go thu the waters they will not sweep over you, when you go thru the fire you will not be burned, he has proven this to be true over and over again. sometimes i do have to admit, i dont wanna go thru........i am a living, breathing,walking testimony. if i ever give them all it will blow your mind. to god be all the glory...............

god is in control

i was thinking this morning about a very hard time in my life a few years back, god wanted me to help someone and in doing so i was put thru one of the worst times in my life. i remember at the end of this god giving me psalm 72, verses 19-24. also your righteousness god is very high, you who have done great things, who is like you? YOU, who have shown me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth. you shall increase my greatness. and comfort me on every side.also with the lute i will praise you, and your faithfullness oh my god.to you i will sing with the harp, o holy one of israel, my lips shall greatly rejoice when i sing to you, and my soul which YOU have redeemed. my tongue shall also tell of your righteousness all day long. for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame. who seek my hurt. i knew then that this was over and it was, but what i learned from all this, was that i wanted things to be my way, when it came to my children, i wanted to go thru what i wanted to go thru, and that is not gods way. i learned a valuable lesson thru this trial, first of all, god himself allowed it, he himself will have mercy on whom HE chooses to have mercy on, and compassion on whom HE himself chooses to have compassion on, and i will not stand in his way. god is god and beside HIM there is no other. and i also learned i will perform all his pleasure, and thru all of that i can truly say, although i cried all thru it, like i havent cried in many times, it was good that i had been afflicted, and yet though he slay me yet will i trust him. to god be all the glory.

ministry

i got a chance to talk to rose to find out what happened when her and amy went out on their first outreach. praise god. they ended up going out on friday night, and they had went to a young mom with one child. lisa and i had tried to see her to no avail a couple times so i knew this ground was for them. they met with her, blessed her , got to talk to her about her issues in her life and to pray for this young girl. this is a seed planted in her life and it will yield fruit for our lord. this week another team will be going out as well as lisa and i. i am praying for provision for four families,and am excited to see what will happen. all this week has been a trial, as soon as the girl was saved my hip went into excruciating pain everytime i lifted my leg, this is the leg that was hurt when i got hit by the car, jordan has had the worst attack of asthma that i remember in years, and my home has turned into battleground. oh my god.well i called on my brothers and sisters in christ for prayer, i know the enemy is trying to discourage me, and i was teetering there for a moment but am determined to get back out there, the battle is not mine it is the lords. i woke up on saturday started to move my leg and the pain was all gone, praise god. i found out later the women had gathered together and prayed for me. praise god, i spent last night at the hospital with jordan and he needed two treatments but he is so much better, praise god, and my home, trusting god.............praise god....... well excited about this week and how the lord will come thru........may he have his total will with this and me.......

jewel in his crown

today we went out on food pantry delivery, we had a family in mind but as usual ended up somewhere else, and as is the norm lately to a saved family in despair. we got to bless them and they needed it , and to pray for them. the saints are weary. please pray as rose and amy will be going out tonite, cant wait to hear their testimonies, praise god, may his total wiill be done. well anyways went home took a little nap as 4.30 wears on you. i woke up looking at these bags a friend of mine had given me weeks before with blankets ,sheets, curtains etc.. i hadnt done anything with them yet, as i didnt know who to give them to, i diidnt need them. i knew god wanted me to bring them to the babysitter anna and this family..i could hear the enemy in the background, shes going to think your a stalker as we have been there 4 times. i said god im going to go down there and lead this girl to you, i need your help, i cant do anything if you dont go with me. well went down talked to her and her boyfriend mike who has been there once or twice,the questions this boy had were amazing. i did the best i could, and tried to be honest with him. well anna accepeted christ as her saviour, and he let me pray for him, he really doesnt know what to think of us, but we have built a relationship. now the next time we go we will be inviting them to church as i explained to her you need to grow in your new relationship. do you know in all this time we have never met the mom. well to god be all the glory, another jewel in his crown for the reward of his suffering.

td jakes

i put td jakes on my blog so many times because i have learned more about gods word from his teachings than anyone.some say you can have a spiritual father, i would beieve he would be the closest to one i have had. he preaches gods word in such a way that it relates to my everyday life. praise god for raising him up for such a time as this. when i lead people to the lord the question sometimes comes up do you know where you would go when you die, are you absolutely sure? and then we tell them you can absolutely know. and some leave it there, but i always think,thats wonderful we will go to heaven when we die, and i dont want to take from the exrtreme importance of that, but i always gotta tell them, jesus also is for right now, an ever present help in times of trouble.life done hit some people hard and they need to know you can cast your cares on him cause he careth for you. bishop jakes teaches us how to live now, in preparation for where we are going, not only does god give us victory when we get to heaven he preparest a table now in the presence of our enemies, our situations. i learned how to praise god while im going thru...............to god be all the glory

The Rapture of the Church - Perry Stone and Rod Parsley

i get a chance sometimes to listen to perry stone, i enjoy it.

Monday, September 17, 2007

ANNA

anna is the name of the quote babysitter, we found that out today. she is a beautiful young girl of approx. 17 would be my guess. please pray for anna's salvation as i am believing god for it and will NOT give up. it is not his will that any should perish. also please pray for a large donation i received from a member of the community today, i diidnt know what we would do with it, but felt if it is offered, god has a place for it, it is 5 cases of restaurant size cans of flour, rice, egg mix, pinto beans, vegetables etc.this could only be used for a very large family, shelter , soup kitchen or i just dont know. please any prayerful suggestions would be much appreciated. it is now in the trunk of my vehicle and cannot wait to unload and find a place at the church or preferably the destination to where it is going. to god be all th glory for all of this. god bless susan

the babysitter

i just remembered that i now know the name of the quote babysitter. it is anna and she is a beautiful young girl , approx 17 would be my guess. she has a delightful smile, beautiful skin color and pretty brown eyes., also i need prayer for a donation i recieved today from a member in the community. they stopped me to see if i could use it for the food pantry and i couldnt say no, as i believe anything we get god will show us a use for. it is five large boxes of restaurant size cans of rice, vegetables, flour, pinto beans and i am not sure what else. if anyone has any prayerful suggestions. i truly welcome the suggestions as this could only be used for a very large family, shelter, soup kitchen, or i dont know. but god must have a plan. it is in the back of my car at the moment and cant wait to either store it somewhere at church or give it away to meet a need. well to god be all the glory for all of this.susan

watchmen are in zion

i do believe god has his that are the watchmen in the body, they are to be led by the holy spirit in matters concerning spirits that sometimes enter in that are not of god. they have the discernment when something is just not right. its not the people, it is the spirit that has entered in. we must be careful not to rebuke the people but the spirit that is coming thru them. dont have any idea why that is relevant but thought of it so blogging. on a more pleasant note we have two more teams to be added to the food outreach ministry. one team will be going out in additon to us this week and hopefully the other next week. please pray as i know lisa and i are not to reach everyone, i am excited as each team steps up, praying for gods will totally with them, and the people they will minister to. the children;s church will now be involved in decorating the boxes we use to fill the food. this is really turning out to be a unity effort, and i praise god............i want his will completely in this. today lisa and i went out to just give snacks and gifts for the children with the babysitter, she was so glad to see us and i noticed that we are building relationships, and other young moms that i know by seeing here and there, came out to see us also and talk. it was a nice visit. we then intended to bless a young mom with a baby, but she wasnt home and the other team will take this on wednesday as lisa and i go somewhere else. we did end up meeting with a woman i have known for years, a backslidden christian who has been separated from her husband for awhile, and they have just reconciled. we stayed and ministered to her for quite awhile and she let us pray for them. i believe it definetely was god arranged. well please keep us in prayer as we are building relationships with the community in stafford. we do not want to go one step ahead of god or one step behind him. HIS WILL COMPLETELY>

revealtions 19 11-16

i heard this word and it really stood out to me, i thought wow. I SAW HEAVEN STANDING OPEN AND THERE BEFORE ME WAS A WHITE HORSE, WHOSE RIDER IS CALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE, WITH JUSTICE HE JUDGES, AND MAKES WAR. HIS EYES ARE LIKE BLAZING FIRE, AND ON HIS HEAD ARE MANY CROWNS. HE HAS A NAME WRITTEN ON HIM THAT NO ONE KNOWS BUT HE HIMSELF. HE IS DRESSED IN A ROBE DIPPED IN BLOOD AND HIS NAME IS THE WORD OF GOD. THE ARMIES OF HEAVEN WERE FOLLOWING HIM, RIDING ON WHITE HORSES AND DRESSED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN. OUT OF HIS MOUTH COMES A SHARP SWORD WITH WHICH TO STRIKE DOWN THE NATIONS. HE WILL RULE THEM WITH AN IRON. SCEPTOR.HE TREADS THE WINEPRESSES OF THE FURY OF THE WRATH OF GOD ALMIGHTY, ON HIS ROBE AND ON HIS THIGH HE HAS THE NAME WRITTEN; KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. PRAISE GOD.

good day

went to the four town fair, my feet hurt so bad, standing in line for ride after ride as the kids had a great time. saw my step dad and i still gave him a hug, he looks so old now. he is in gods hands. church was different as pastor jeff had a special bible study at his church, the fill in pastor preached on leading those around us to the lord, we have to care about them cause once god comes back, thats it. chance gone. maybe gods weaning us from pastor graves. we will eventually have a permanent pastor and he is growing on us. i wish the best for him, he is a spirit led man. our unity in our body is strong and everyone is pulling together, a three fold cord cannot easily be broken. rose is starting a focus group for men and woman so we can get rid of some of that junk in the trunk as she put it. It is a weight class, so of course my name was down first on the list, i welcome the chance to do it as a group, last time we did it i lost 13 lbs. only kept off 8, but still progress although slow........................some women signed up that dont even need to lose just to do something together. praise god.........well work tommorow, food pantry. i noticed enough for a couple families, although still in prayer about who. have one on my heart and feeling led to go after salvations to a couple we have already been to. we;ll see how god leads.god bless

baptism in the holy spirit

well, i was sleeping, woke up with the tv on to a preacher speaking on baptism in the holy spirit, with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues...and these signs shall follow. it made me ponder how vital praying in the spirit really was.and how all the times god has really moved he has led me to a time of praying in the spirit. i was thinking of lisa who by the way, praise god is much better, we have been praying for months for her for baptism in the holy spirit and she keeps saying ''squuz am i ever going to get it. and i say of course you are.but this pastor tonite said you have to believe you received it. then i knew revelation hit me.and god now had my attention. i was reminded of when i recieved baptism of the holy spirit, although i do remember years before one time the holy spirit hitting me like fire and speaking in tongues and not understanding it at all. it just came on me and out it came and the girl that was with me was scared. anyways i had called the 700 club for prayer, back as a new christian i did that alot and the woman on the other line said have you received baptism in the holy spirit and i said no, and she said would you like to and i said yes, she led me in the prayer asking god to fill me and to receive this gift, and i remember her saying now open your mouth and roll your tongue over the roof of your mouth, and let it flow, i remember doing this and hearing something that sounded rather silly.she said ok now practice that as you pray, and i thought ok, lady. well later when i was in the shower i did remember what she said and started to believe i receive, and do as she said and all of a sudden it hit me like fire and i couldnt catch my breath it just started flowing and i was amazed. must of stayed in their half hour that day praying in the spirit. well anyways i knew god wanted me to blog, why i dont know but i did need to remember this for lisa, i thought of someone i know asking me what the advantage was to praying in the spirit , and i said i thought it was like fine tuning, like back in the day when we needed those fuuny looking antennaes and when you pulled out the ends the reception was so much clearer, i feel thats what speaking in tongues does with me, im more in tune to what god is saying, and the ability to hear him is clearer.my antenaes are up.. well maybe tahts for someone, i know its for lisa. going to bed as i get uo at 4,30. praise god

new day

work was good, im finally getting the hang of things and my boss really has seemed to take to me from the first day, must be a god thing,she is a great boss.good people skills.she keeps saying your the bomb' oh boy, i hope not. i was thinking about seeing the young mom from the bus stop the day after we were able to minister to her with food, i was listening to pastor joes series he had on his blog about servant evangelism. the man said people dont know what to think when you just do something kind and do not expect anything. it reminded me of that look she gave me the next day, it was like why would you do that? for someone you dont even know. that is only jesus's love flowing thru us. we are not even capable of it without him, apart from him we can do nothing, but thru him..................wooh.anyways i am making homemade pizza and thinking after a hundred times at least of doing this, cheese then pepperoni, pepperoni then cheese. went with cheese then pepperoni. right i dont know. i would say senior moment but im only 46 so i highly doubt it. who cares anyways, they are going to eat it as fast as i make it. please pray for lisa, she really needs it right now. cannot wait for the weekend as it is the annual four town fair and we love bringing the grandchildren and paul said yes we can go again. sometimes he is an ok husband. praise god.

GOOD MORNING

THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE I WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT. PRAISE GOD.................................

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

i like this one too

John Mayer | No Such Thing

iiiiiiiiiiiiiii love this song, won tickets over the summer but byron ended up going, he needed it more than me.surprised he liked him too

god is awesome and so are his people

the last two days have been awesome, last night we got to minister the love of jesus to the single mom with three children, later found out by accident one of her children is the granddaughter of one of our members in our church. halleluhah. anyways one member of our body bought a whole weeks groceries for this family, we prayed for her and she was so grateful, when i saw her this morning she said she couldnt believe how blessed she had been, i went back to the church after that to find three bags of food left there for us which put our donations to the other two families at record.there were books on the love of jesus also given and then i received more.when i went this morning there was clothes shoes, school supplies and an anonymous envelope addressed to me for a donation also, i started to cry thinking how faithful god is to this ministry. we loaded up, and went to visit a family we know to have them join us in praying over these and that was such a blessing to us. we first went out to give to the family with the kids with the clothes need and he was the only one home, he just couldnt believe this, and looked dumbfounded he didnt want us to come in he was embarrased.we didnt get to pray this time but told him we were extending the love of jesus thru our church, and he was thankful the second family we outreached to was a woman that desperately needed a visit, her husband was at work and she was there alone with their two young children.she said this donation would be used for a charity on saturday that she was a part of. we didnt care cause god knows. she lost her 17 year old daughter last year and her mom a couple weeks later, she was so glad to see us and proceeded to tell us about the things god has done in her life since the loss of her daughter and mom, and the ministries that have come thru this, i truly dont know who was blessed us or her. she said all the bitterness was gone, and how life is different her husband had a affair and god gave her the grace to forgive him and the woman. people who use to be her enemies are now her friends, it was a different visit to say the least. she truly knew we are sojourning here, i know that, but do i truly, know that, something to think about.and lisa was given a basketball hoop her son and her have been praying for for months now. what a god send....... to god be all the glory, he is in this and i am amazed at the awesome god we serve. oh and i got a call yesterday for a donation for school supplies and was able to go to here we grow and buy clothes for another family with children, still have enough left for another family for this week or to carry on into next week, however god leads. ma god have his total will thru us.

the need is there

wow what a morning, i have my cleaning job today, so had a chance to keep two of my grandsons overnite as i dont have to get up as early on tuesdays, i got to bring them down for school for a change. yesterday was a bad day for me, couldnt stop crying, just really reflecting on where i am in life at 46. i was watching td jakes new series on repositioning yourself at any point in life, just a few minor tweaks could make all the difference. i knew god was telling me i dont have to find value in my job, i can get it in the things that matter, god, my husband, children grandchildren, ministry.ive always put these things first, thats why i dont have the big career. i definetely need to make some changes, but i was thinking jeez is this food pantry really making a difference? but as i was at the bus stop, there was a single mom of three works a full time job and struggles with food, she was talking to alicia my daughter about going to a church in town and how she would listen if she could just really get someone to talk to her, that really believed in jesus , so of course alicia says my mom really believes in jesus, and their church does a food outreach, she will help you.so she came up to me , very reluctantly and asked if once in awhile we would remember her children in this outreach as it is hard to stretch her paycheck, she got tears in her eyes and i told her we will definetely remember her this week as tommorow we go out because we missed yesterday as my day was so bad. and i have tommorow off, perfect. both of them then expressed a need in the people across the street with three children, they said how these children went to school with no new clothes holes in their shoes and worn clothing, oh my god, i couldve cried right there i felt such a rush of the holy spirit knowing this is why we have this ministry. god wants us to help these people. well anyways i sent out a emergency email to the people in our church to pray and ask god if there is anything they can do, together we can do mighty things thru god. so i asked for, meeting needs for these childrens clothes and shoes as payless is cheap and kmart has a great sale. we have enough food for two families and promised one already then the single mom, and now i need prayer to also be a blessing for this third family, i will do all i can. please pray god meets this need i know he will.

SUNDAY"S SERMON

went to church today, pastor graves sermon was on salvation, and how true repentance had to come with that.he said that you should see a true change in someone after true salvation. it was a good message and really gave me something to pray about before i lead someone to the lord. he also, said we need to truly be thankful; for our salvation and the changes god has made in us. he also invited us to go to his church tonite for a worship service, i was thinking about it because i love worship and wanted to support him as he has supported us. i wasnt sure until the new single mom that has been coming with her son came right up to ME and asked if i could go with her, what could i say, then, so i WILL be going tonight with her. we have been praying for her salvation. her son was one of our vbs children. praise god.......had food waiting for us, for food pantry tommorow and a nice gift certificate. god is so faithful to this ministry. please pray for us, we will be going out to a newly saved couple struggling and want to minister with the love of jesus and not entirely sure of the other family but have an idea.. please pray for me on this new job, i am already looking to move on.........know i wont be here forever but god has a plan here for someone and i gotta stick it out until then. ugh ugh ugh.and i would never leave until i found something else, i have learned to hang in there, no matter how tough it gets, god WILL bring me thru. praise god. i just wonder if ill ever find a job i truly find meaning in. i hope so.............

ministering with food

getting up at 4.30 every morning is really taking a toll on me. ugh............. meeting alot of really good people,though, and today i got to pray over the girl i told you about with all the jobs and school, and children. she was so glad to see me and apreciative that i prayed for her . she is hurting. she cannot keep up at this pace. god will intervene. we went out today for food ministry, alot of food was there, between buying it from the donations and what was left there from the wonderful people at church. god please bless them all, whatever you do for the least of these my brethen you have done for me. we ministered food to , two christian families and felt god was saying to encourage the saints, they are weary.one girl i have known for years told her children, see god is good and the lord works in mysterious ways. i felt such a sweep of the holy spirit as she said that..we went back to the babysitter and prayed over her and i got to share some of my tetimony with her and there was three teenage boys there, listening attentively, not knowing what to think, the kids there were so glad to see the food, they immediately starting putting it away and we notiiced their refrigerator was bare. the children seemed grown beyond their years . i dont like to see children not able to be children, you only get one shot at being a kid and your whole life to be responsible adults. oh the state of peoples lives. THEY NEED JESUS. i have such a burden for a child named noah, i know his mom sheila, she lost all her children to foster care because of drug abuse from the rotten childhood she had and no one to help her to deal with the things she went thru. what a viscious cycle. this is her youngest his name was nathan but the foster care family adopted him and changed his name to noah, at six years old. poor child, now they are divorcing, and he is now living with the foster dad. now he is acting out and the counselors are labeling him psycotic, among other things and say next step is juvenile detention. i could throw up thinking about it. staying with this man is not good, i know it deep down in my heart, i want to shake that counselor and tell them to wake up and help this child. six years old, he was in our vbs and he is a wonderful child, life has just dealt him an awful hand and i am going to bombard heaven everyday for this child. please pray for him,they couldve labeled me as a child the way they are doing to him, i set fires i stole things until i told, and my mom listened. all that then stopped. thank god for his grace on my life and i pray it is extended also to him. please please pray for this young boy , the devil is a liar, and i will not ever receive those words for this child. god bless susan

back from camping

had a wonderful time camping, went to a new place and it was really nice. most of the family came to visit and justice and destiny made alot of friends, caleb had fun too, made it to church on sunday, although i was tired and the enemy was trying to discourage me in different areas, pastor graves preached on the enemy coming against you every way when your in the fight if he's not bothering you, you are no threat. and god was in control of all of it.he said the enemy wouldnt be able to say jesus i know paul i know but who are you, when we are walking close to god, and also isaiah 54. rema or what? anyways i got to share a little about the food pantry, and two people gave cash donations praise god, this is good ground. please pray we will be lead to meet specific needs for those we minister to this week. we will be going out wednesday only for this week . god bless
