How deep does your Bible reading go?

Just spoke with Pastor Sasha in Vyshgorod Ukraine (near Kiev) for about an hour. It was so good to hear his voice and know the real situation.
The atrocities are difficult to even hear about, let alone live through.
On top of that, are the lies that Putin is telling, and even pastors in Russia are believing and then supporting.

@Susan thanks so much for the prayers

Why Easter? 2022

https://youtu.be/OEzEpqL0yuQ

We’ve been working on a video that looks at the question – Why Easter?

So what does Easter and what do a wooden cross, churches, people and crowds, hot cross buns, chicks, chocolate, food, bank holiday and traffic jams all have in common!

Bank Holiday Mondays happen because of Easter, an event that we know to be true, some 2,000 years ago.

That just leaves with a simple question and a simple choice…

Peter & JoJo get together to encourage us, as always, to pray as a family. And they continue their series on using objects for prayer to help us stay focused, returning this week to World Food or The Photo!

By special request, JoJo & Peter pray for the United States of America, encouraging us to use Hotdogs as our focal point!

With a photograph of some, authentic American hotdogs, we hope! – Peter and JoJo pray for America.

A big thank you to David, our friend from America for encouraging us to pray for the USA, for suggesting Hotdogs as our focus and for prayer pointers.

@zephan I've had several other dreams related to the need for greater initimacy with God, rather than these other earthly concerns. Your message is a confirmation and encouragement. During the earlier part of the pandemic especially there were shortages and grocery shopping was challenging. I never knew what would ve available. There were also fear based messages from various media sources, but the Scriptures that were highlighted most to me were about laying up treasure in Heaven, or about not worrying what we will eat or wear because God will provide, etc. There are also Scriptures about preparing ahead for future needs, but as you said, how can we know what those needs will be unless He reveals them? The way He's led very specifically in certain situations and provided for my family in ways we couldn't otherwise have known, has increased my confidence that if He is saying, "Don't worry. You don't need to focus on stocking up extensively right now." Then, I can trust Him with that.

@Cherishingsparrows2020 @zephan "There are also Scriptures about preparing ahead for future needs, but as you said, how can we know what those needs will be unless He reveals them?" - This is exactly how I and my husband has felt about this issue. Yes, I'm convinced we have tough times ahead, but we can't run around in panic preparing ourselves, that only leads us astray. What we can and should do is to continue walking with the Lord EVERY day, and He will instruct and show us when it's time to act - just the way He's always done and is doing in everything concerning our lives! Although we have made small preparations (extra food that can be stored, a small gas stove), we're fully aware we're totally dependent on our Lord to take us through whatever is coming. So I just want to press closer to Him!

Song of Songs 8:5: "Who is that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?"

The bride comes out of the wilderness LEANING on her bridegroom - that's the way out for us too!

Please pray for first generation believers, who struggle to find a life mate! https://factsanddetails.com/asian/cat62/sub407/item2605.html

Arranged Marriages in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and South Asia. It is estimated that 80 percent of all marriages in South Asia are arranged by the bride and groom's parents. Many future spouses have never meet each other before they are introduced by their parents. Even so arranged marriages have a very high success rate.

My trip to Africa has been delayed and I have been livid. The delay changed all of my plans and cost extra money - BUT! Then today - I had a divine meeting that was NOT planned with a team of Chinese serving in the Middle East that I have not seen in years. Our travel paths crossed for only a moment and now sooooo many opportunities have opened up because of that one.single.meeting.
Not my plans - but Gods
HOWEVER - it would be cool if He at least gave me a heads up. ????

“And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

Matthew 9:36-38

The “harvesters” are also the healers which goes hand in hand with the good news of the Kingdom.
