[Acts 11:22-24, NLT]
22 When the church at Jerusalem heard what had happened, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23 When he arrived and saw this evidence of God's blessing, he was filled with joy, and he encouraged the believers to stay true to the Lord.
24 Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and strong in faith. And many people were brought to the Lord.

[행11:22-24]
22 예루살렘 교회가 이 사람들의 소문을 듣고 바나바를 안디옥까지 보내니
23 그가 이르러 하나님의 은혜를 보고 기뻐하여 모든 사람에게 굳건한 마음으로 주와 함께 머물러 있으라 권하니
24 바나바는 착한 사람이요 성령과 믿음이 충만한 사람이라 이에 큰 무리가 주께 더하여지더라

If you haven't seen this documentary on how the 2020 US presidential election was stolen, Anonymous Conservative gives four links where you can see it free.

If you have any interest in the US government, or in surveillance, it's worth a look.
Things I learned:

1. If you carry a sell phone, you are being tracked wherever you go, and this tracking info is saved and sold.
2. Thousands of people were hired to illegally collect and deposit ballots in ballot boxes on the street, stealing the presidential election. They make a pretty clear case for this just based on this one fraud method, although other funny things were also being done with voting machines etc.
3. There is video (required by law for election security) of the people dropping off numbers of ballots. If the state governments cared, the people carrying out these activities could be convicted based on the phone and video data.

Need lot of prayers !!!
We have decided to purchase water from the same people who are experts in creating 'storms in tea cups' !
Knowing that we are 'more than conquerors' in and through the one who is living in us.

Expecting the Dove to descend!
Chariots of fire to surround us !
In this war of setting the captives free , we may be led by the Spirit not flesh.
Amen ! 🙏

Rise and shine. Don't forget to stop and enjoy the beauty of the spring flowers!

On Mother's day a believer from a Buddhist country shared the following story. A Buddhist teacher told her class the Garden of Eden story. However she told them that God created Moses and Eve. This believer stood up and corrected her saying 'no Ma'am his name was Adam. The teacher figured out that the student is a Christian got angry at her and send her out of the class. Also warned her that she will be never allowed to attend this teacher's class again. Later the daughter talked to her mother over the phone. To comfort the daughter the mother sang "Yes God is Good" in different languages. And counseled her to be bold and never be ashamed to stand up for Jesus.
On "Mother's day she remembers this with great admiration for her mother.

Shall we be discontented at that which works for our good?

If one friend should throw a bag of money at another, and in throwing it, should graze his head, he would not be troubled much, seeing by this means he had got a bag of money.

See here the wisdom of God, who can make the worst things imaginable turn to the good of the saints. He can by a divine chemistry extract gold out of dross. “Oh the depth of the wisdom of God!” (Rom. 11:33). It is God’s great design to set forth the wonder of His wisdom. The Lord made Joseph’s prison a step to preferment. There was no way for Jonah to be saved, but by being swallowed up. God suffered the Egyptians to hate Israel (Psalm 106:41), and this was the means of their deliverance. St. Paul was bound with a chain, and that chain which did bind him was the means of enlarging the gospel (Phil. 1:12).

God is still in the business of making impossible things possible!
