@KarlGessler much better now, thanks Karl
Jo's had some times of tiredness, but she was back at work today, albeit from home
She started late and finished early to take it easy; she's trying to reduce her hours too from having done too many for so long so it made it easy for her to take a very relaxed working week this week .

CAN CHRISTIANS HAVE DEMONS?
The greatest resistance to deliverance ministry seems to come from Christians who don't want to believe that they can have a demon. But consider that Jesus rebuked Peter, when Peter tried to dissuade Jesus from the cross, saying "get behind me Satan!" (Matthew 16:23). Jesus had just finished telling Peter that he would receive "the keys of the kingdom" and Jesus called Peter, "Blessed!" Jesus hasn't changed His mind and is not calling Peter himself "Satan". Rather, Jesus was rebuking Satan who was using Jesus' good friend, Peter, to tempt Jesus.
This is strong evidence that demons can be at work in the lives of faithful believers.

@erdenpilger Yes, I agree! God's Kingdom is not of this world as you quoted, but it's in us who believe (Luk. 17:22) This is clearly what the Bible tells us.
But it also tells us that when God creates the new heaven and the new earth then His Kingdom will be on earth (Rev. 21:1-3) It's clear that Jesus will come back on earth the second time (Matt. 24:3), defeat Satan (Rev. 20:10) and establish His Kingdom (Rev. 21:5). The New Jerusalem will come down from heaven and we will be with Him forever. (Rev. 21:2-3, 10) This is our hope! (1 Kor. 15:19-25)
Dear brothers and sisters, I would like to ask you to pray for my wife Anna.
The excessive stress due to the challenges we are facing has led her to have trouble swallowing and consequently to swallow food.
She is eating little, she is not very hungry and she is losing weight. I ask you to pray that my wife can be healed in her throat, that she can eat without hindrance and that she can regain her natural weight.
Thanks so much. You don't know how precious your prayers are.
God bless you all. 🙏🙏🙏
@faith20 Father in Heaven I pray you bring healing to. Anna in Jesus name!!
@tymektt will do. They've ruled out some things. She's had intravenous paracetamol which has at least taken the edge off the pain, which is good.
Blood work was ok, but they're checking a couple of things which weren't quite they'd like to see
Thank you #BTJ !
There was a season in our ministry, when many organizations asked us to give reports to receive support.
Then we heard about Brother Yun and Heavenly Man book from our youngsters. Some of them got the privilege to meet Uncle Tang and Brother Yun. Our Elders received training from Brother @sinbach few times.
The best gift we received from #BTJ volunteers is prayer and faith based farming. we prayed, breaking the curse of the land, worked hard and God is blessing the works of our hand.
We see multiplication and transformation in our closed country.
@Lanka4Jesus this is heart breaking!! Thank you for sharing! I will pray!!
Over 70 kids and 50 adults came to our outreach in northern Thailand next to a massive Buddhist temple Saturday. Many received Christ but most importantly we began our process of planting house churches, baptizing them
And helping them to understand what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. What a huge day! In this part of the world, those are huge numbers to come out to hear about Jesus. The area is very resistant and closed to these things but we are seeing the seeds of revival. Praise God. 21 churches planted. Over 300 former Buddhist coming to Christ. Bible school planting here and our school of missions to send Asians to Asian nations and the Middle East (also part of of Asia) where we will send them after they finish our training. Amazing times we are living in.
