@Berrybunchfamily Amen! This has always been true, but is becoming more and more apparent in these days. During the earlier part of the pandemic especially, I would find myself becoming anxious. When I mediated on Scripture or listened to worship music, paying attention to the message of the lyrics, I physically felt the peace that passes all understanding chasing away the anxiety. God's Word is indeed the Truth that matters most!
This one's worth watching if only because I got a warning when I tried to share my post on my Facebook page lol ( I mentioned the 'C' word) which perfectly illustrated the point of this little video.
Andy B 2 Minute Video, Whose Truth Is It Anyway, Season 4, Episode 40
It’s easy to be bamboozled by people telling us their truth. And we’ve seen, during COVID, media sources confuse everybody by spreading their own opinions, while calling their opinions fact and, at the same time, deleting and blocking any, and all, comments that they simply didn’t like. The truth has been belittled to opinions, just shouted ever louder!
MSM means Main Stream Media – I had to look it up. And the trouble with MSM is that they do exactly the same thing as social media, only they do it while wearing business suits on our television sets.

For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.
Psalms 27:5 ASV
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, remember well these two verbs present in this verse:
1) to keep
2) to hide
God has the power to keep and hide his children redeemed with the precious blood of Christ.
For in the day of trouble
he will keep YOU secretly
in his pavilion:
In the covert of his tabernacle
will he hide YOU;
He will lift YOU up upon a rock.
This is a promise to those
who feel in danger!
Andy B 2 Minute Video, Chairs and Individuality, Season 4, Episode 39
We all like to think we’re special and unique. And, in many ways, we truly are.
But, we’re gonna have issues when we think that our specific uniqueness is somehow superior to that of someone else.
You may not be in to Star Trek. But, whether you are not, there is a fascinating point worth noting from the Mission Statement of the United Federation of Planets, of which earth is a part (that only Captain Kirk ever seems to be able to save!). And that, in really bad paraphrase, is that no culture will force another culture to be like them – cultural differences will be, essentially, accepted as they are.

In this episode @sinbach talks about the war and the refugee crises in Europe. I feel honoured and touched that he makes comparisons with, and tell about, the Finnish Winter War during WWII against the Russian army. ❤️ 🙏 There are few that can place Finland (and many other foreign countries) on a map, and Eugene knows not only where the countries are, but also have visited them and knows a lot of details about them.
Please pray for Finland and Sweden, for protection! I don't know what could possibly happen, but these days are traumatic/emotional for Finns, both because of the former wars against Russia, and because of the indirect threaths Putin has uttered.
Please pray for our president Sauli Niinistö that will leave for the USA tomorrow for an appointment with Joe Biden! (I shared a statement from our president in an earlier post today). As you might know Finland and Sweden are among the few nations in Europe that are not members of NATO.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Closed Isn’t Necessarily Shut! Season 4, Episode 38
It’s easy to shut a door, or close a window, without it actually working.
My grandfather once, because he was so busy concentrating on leaving for a holiday, actually was in a taxi, being driven to the airport, when he realised he had lost his keys. When the taxi had popped back for him, he found the keys! They were in the front door, with the door wide open.
It’s easy to think we’ve done something we haven’t.
Just a thought…

This was posted on Facebook by the ministry 8thirty8:
"Dear friends, as we pray for Ukraine, let's also lift up our brothers and sisters in Russia. We received this update from a Russian friend this week."
"Please remember to pray for us here in Russia too! We are broken and hurting. But there are many believers here. We are continuing to preach the gospel and comfort people and encourage them to look to God! We have to look at God and go through this fiery furnace. Please pray for us believers in Russia who are trying to change our country from the inside out. One person at a time. We will preach the Gospel and God's love!" Message clipped. I didn't post the prayer from 8thirty8 due to space constraint.

But it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord God,

@Berrybunchfamily I do have testimonies! I will love to share sometime🙂
Tonight I have a testimony to share, but it's not my own. My husband's cousin lived with us over a period of several years and then married a year ago this past December. She and her husband maintain a close relationship with is and join is for our evening meal (do you call it dinner or supper?🙂) most Wednesdays. Two of her brothers have been living in Kiev, Ukraine. They had no money to leave. They are young men and men were not being allowed to leave. They are Ghanaian and apparently black people were not being allowed to leave. God worked several miracles and they are now in Poland! This was truly a miraculous escape. Maybe it was a compassionate police officer, or was it an angel who assisted them? One of these young men didn't even have his passport as it was out of the country for renewal.
#TestimonyTuesday – Steven’s Testimony
https://www.berrybunch.family/testimonytuesday-stevens-testimony/
Every Tuesday we’ll post a testimony with the hashtag #TestimonyTuesday.
Testimonies are so wonderfully powerful!
This one is from Steven and an experience he had more than a decade ago. We love Steven for his wisdom and tenacity and is half of the driving force for one of our regular broadcasts – Endurance.
Steven’s Testimony
Many years ago, when I was a child, I wrote this testimony – of a time when the Holy Spirit comforted me. I’ve shared it in several Children’s Church services.
I was sad and alone in a school playground, so I asked God to comfort me. At that moment, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I turned around to see who it was, but there was no one there to have touched me.
I immediately knew it was the Holy Spirit who’d put His hand on my shoulder. And, being reminded of His presence, I was comforted.
If you've a testimony we could share online to encourage others, let us know.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Fires, Vents and Fuel Season 4, Episode 37
Log Burners are great for romantic nights, or just to warm the room.
However, it isn’t always quite as simple as just throwing some wood inside and chucking in a match!
You’ve got make sure the wood is dry – in the UK it is really frowned upon to use wet wood in a fire in a home. You’ve also got to think about using any vents on the fireplace to help build the fire and supply it with enough air. It even matters how you first stack the initial wood – not enough kindling and you won’t be able to get the bigger logs to start burning.
It’s rightly said that using a log burner is more of an art than a science
And so it is with life – we can’t just run at life and hope for the best. We do need to think about all sorts of things, just like with a fireplace.
Just a thought…

Many Russians flee Russia by train to Finland. In a war everyone is a loser. We are all sisters and brothers. There are many Russians living in Finland, and many experience more bullying or harrassment, because of what's going on in Ukraine. That's too sad.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Pancakes Aren't Fiddly! S4, E36
Pancakes are a great way of having fun while you cook AND eat. And we like them a lot in the BerryBunch household!
We all take part in both sides of the process, but, of course, the ending – and eating – is always the more popular. And that’s just Andy and Jo!
Sometimes it’s good not to fiddle with things – like painting. Paint over the spot too many times, and you ruin your work.
But food? Sometimes a little fiddling as it cooks is a great way to get the best result.
It may not make a huge difference to the eating, but since a picture paints a thousands words, and the proof is in the pudding, the final appearance really does matter!

Endurance, Back To Basics, Season 4, Episode 1
Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!
Explore with us as we kick of this new season with our first episode, ‘Back to Basics’.
#GoDeeper
Go Deeper with Andy B, as he talks about going back to basics.
Andy mentions supermarkets’ basic items ranges as he looks at how the word ‘basic’ means different things to different people.
#GoDo
Nathan and Steven discuss today’s theme, going back to basics, and provide three simple challenges:
Firstly, they recommend memorising John 3:16.
Secondly, they remind us of the importance of sharing the gospel with all those around us, through our actions not just words.
And lastly, they suggest writing a 100-word testimony as a short, concise answer for your faith.

I received (yesterday) this forwarded message from a sister in Christ in Finnish, and again my own translation of it to English:
"We got a message yesterday from our friend in Kiev:
I want to encourage you with the words of our known soldiers and of other common people who are coming from different warfronts. They tell:
"We feel your prayers. Sometimes happens something very inexplicable, like an invisible hand really would direct the bullets and other ammunitions away from us so that they fly us by. We get victories in very difficult situations, like if someone was guiding them. We become invisible to our enemy, but we self can see them in complete darkness so that we know what and how to react. All of this is giving us courage and strenght. We believe that the Lord Jesus himself is protecting Ukraine. We ask you, please, don't quit your prayers, but keep on praying. We need you!"
