Ukraine prayer update message from Pastor Sasha

Hi Todd !
Things seem to escalate quickly here !
In the last 24 hours 3 things at least happened.
1) russia officially recognized those two stolen regions of Luhansk and Donetsk
2) right away they signed a military treaty with them
3) Russian parliament just a few hours ago allowed Putin officially to use his army abroad
This opens him the door for military invasion (
Let’s keep believing God 🙏

On Keto like me?
Watch this!

Pray for Ukraine! I received this message from Pastor Sasha, near Kiev...

Hi Todd !
As from today , Ukraine will be going perhaps through the most dangerous 10-14 days with regard to full size war with Russia. Today Russia and Belarus began in Belarus (only 100 miles up north from Kiev) military maneuvers with a huge army (around 130.000 soldiers)

With this we also see absolutely crazy propaganda within Russia to prepare their general public for a full size war.

Also Russia makes every day more and more crazy demands to Ukraine and West, to deescalate this situation (like we / Ukraine now has to send back to the west all weapons that we got last couple of weeks)
Overall it’s a spooky feeling !
BUT - there is no panic here as for today ! We keep standing and believing God for protection!
Please remember Ukraine even more so in your prayers these next 10 days!

Thanks for being there for us !

Maybe it's just me, but the newly ubiquitous phrase...
"STAY HOME. STAY SAFE"
... is really starting to feel antiChrist.

Like... Self preservation, anti- Great Commission, etc...
Jesus said, " Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."

I have a lot of friends and church relationships in Ukraine. Just got a message from Pastor Sasha...

Hello Todd !
Hope you are alive and well !
Things are getting spooky here a bit , couple of embassies are evacuating their families out of Ukraine. Also a few airlines are not leaving their planes over night. Flying in and a few hours later left. Russian army now because of conquering Belarus last couple of months is less than 100 miles from Kiev/in Belarus But overall there is no panic - praise God !
Please continue to pray as I know you do !
Blessings

Just got word that India is restricting meetings and imposing curfews again due to covid.

I'm scheduled to go there the 17th.
Right now, I think I'll "power through" and try. We may just have to be more secret, and patient.

There are more hoops to jump through to get in. New eVisa, declarations, test proofs, and disclosure of information that I'm not comfortable giving.

Still better than sitting on the couch.

I'm at the roller skate rink with my nieces and nephew.
I dont know any of the songs, except a remake of Crazy Train.
I'm old.
Back in my day, they used to have a Christian skate night... and I would hear Petra sometimes.

Just got a proper thrashing from

One good thing about Christmas, especially with my friends in India, is that they get to have public meetings and share the Gospel. Indians love a festival with songs and food, and somehow the ones in authority allow it and even attend!

A Biblical case for singleness:
1) Jesus was single. Read Matthew 19. "... some make themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of God." Another time, Jesus was teaching and His disciples responded, "... if this is the case, it's better for a man not to be married."
2) Apostle Paul was single, and he even made statements like, "... married will have trouble." "I wish you would be like me." "Its better to marry than to burn with lust." "If a person marries, they have not sinned." "A single person can give more attention to the things of God than
a married person."

So was Jesus and Paul contradicting the command to "Be fruitful and multiply?"
(You're not supposed to make babies without being married)

Or... has that command actually been the ONLY command that has been obeyed by mankind? (I wonder why?... ahem... 🤔 😘 😜 )

I'm really NOT into Christmas...

BUT I downloaded the "Christmas in China" mp3 songs from BTJ and I'm enjoying it!
I don't understand anything except, "Yesu" and that's good enough for me.

The same goes for the other worship songs I have in other languages.

"Yesaya, Isa, Yeshua, Yeshu"

Makes me feel more connected to the greater Body of Christ while enjoying different musical styles.

HE is the ONE who unifies us!

I highly recommend "The Jesus Music" movie.
It's great for the younger ones who need to know how it all started...
And great for us older ones to reminisce.

Was Gary Larson a prophet?

I'm less concerned about dying. I am more concerned about not living.
Not a slave.

Hebrews 2:14-15...
"... so that by His death He might destroy the one who has the power of death (that is, the devil) and might free those who were slaves all their lives because they were terrified by death. "

I was once a man trapped in a woman's body.

For 9 months.

Then I got delivered.

At the Sabina movie with my niece.
Is it wrong for a Christian to use a Christian organization's smuggler hat to smuggle snacks into a Christian movie that features smuggling?
I didn't do it, just asking for a friend.
