"This is what I mean, brothers: The time is short. From now on, those who have wives should live as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they did not mourn, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they did not own a thing, and those who use the things in this world as though they were not dependent on them. For the world in its present form is passing away."
1. Cor. 7: 29-31.

Look to Jesus! Cling on to Him! Make Him your absolute and ultimate goal! This world is fading. Our hearts should be so sealed in Him, so that whatever we do, have or own in this life, it won't shake or distract us away from the Rock we're standing on. By standing firmly on that Rock, Jesus, we are showing the Light to people around us to also join us there. To find true life. And that Rock will NEVER shake.

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.

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,
that I may declare all Your works.

Psalms 73:28 NKJV

With the news I’ve thought back to my time with Ukrainian and Russian Soldiers

Is there any hope for our nation ? #Srilanka
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26)

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!"

“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father,
there is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not as Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new mercies I see; all I have needed Thy hand hath provided
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, join with all nature in manifold witness
to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

@sarikorpi wow. Praying on! Was praying just yesterday for Russian bullets to be redirected".

Wow - thanks for sharing

The coming night and tomorrow day are critical moments. At stake is everything, what the whole civilisized world believes and what it has built so far.

With tears in our eyes we request you, no matter on what time zone you are in, to spend time in prayer and fasting in front of God. 🙏

Pray the Lord to protect us from insane armies, which wants to mock at the cost of faith and God's truth.

We ask you to share this message to all your friends, relatives and acquaintances in Europe, Asia, America and all over the world!

Prayer is stronger than the strongest enemy🙏🙏🙏!

Your brothers and sisters from Ukraine 💙💛

@DevotionalTreasures our family prayer time today was specifically about Putin meeting Jesus, or more specifically for Jesus to go meet him in person

Putin is the one man that can end these troubles.

Jesus is the only way to end these troubles

It occurs to ne as I see more and more such disturbing news coming out of Russia, it seems we should be praying specifically for Vladimir Putin: that there be a natural change of heart in this man...please Lord God touch him!

Let's go "Back to Jerusalem " through Sri Lanka !
Jesus is the solution to the challenges #Srilanka is facing today.

From a pastor in Ukraine. I found it on FB, "Radiant Israel."

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

— 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (NKJV)

"One of the most basic mandates for the Christian is to pray for the government. God intends His church to exercise a decisive influence for good in the affairs of the nations".

From Derek Prince's book, Praying for the Government

@sinbach God is stirring Polish hearts to throw all they've got and help Ukrainians in this dark time.
I see reports of tens of thousands of Polish guys and girls rushing to help: organizing convoys to the border to pick up refugees, buying necessary items and shipping them where needed the most, hosting refugees in their own apartments.
From both ends of the political views, above denominations, we stand united for our Ukrainian brothers and sisters.

Our country was SUPER divided for the last 2 years, now I start to see that we are becoming one again.

Reminder when u go shopping. Organic strawberries are covered in seeds, slice and plant them.
Potatoes grow from the store, ginger root and turmeric root, green onions, all grow from the produce section.
Organic blueberries have seeds to grow a bush.
Next go down the spice isle and buy spices that are organic and whole seed, ex: fennel seed, dill, mustard, cumin you get the idea. Happy growing.

Please pray for our Ukrainian friends 🇺🇦 💔
- for safe passage of war refugees
- for provision in fuel and food
- for supernatural protection of kids
- for the wisdom of those in charge
- for strength and courage
