@sinbach Whitney Houston. Even her beautiful funeral made me cry (it was happier than a regular Finnish worship service). I watched on YouTube a friend of hers telling about a meeting with her shortly before her death, how she was longing to live for the Lord and how she was touched by the Holy Spirit. I have watched two documentaries about her. I think it can help us not to judge her... ok she made bad and sinful choices, but at the same time she had always a relationship with the Lord. She was a victim of child abuse, and one of her female relatives, who used to babysit her and her brothers, sexually abused her. Then she was seduced by her best friend and had a lesbian relationship with her for a while. Her brother introduced her to drugs in her teens. Bobby Brown was not the best husband, and they were doing drugs together. At the same time she was put on a pedestal, and there were high expectations on her. She felt that she was never good enough - even if she was adored. Etc.

LIVING COURAGEOUSLY
We are seeing a wave of people being awakened by the Holy Spirit to live courageously and without compromise. In this special interview, Pastor Jack and Tony Perkins discuss the increasing need for Christians to stand confidently in the faith and proclaim the Word of God like never before.
The lack of support of Israel is disturbing. Have we forgotten our precious scriptures in that God has made a forever covenant with this nation? This nation is the apple of His eye! And those of use who are in Christ have been adopted and grafted into this family of Israel. So, if you are a Believer in Yeshua, then you are part of the nation of Israel. You have inherited the blessings of Abraham. And what of Palestine? The Palestinian people need to hear the gospel of Jesus and we should pray that they choose to receive this Truth. Once they do, then they are one with all Believers as they are also now grafted and adopted into the family of God and inherit the blessings of Israel. Also, let us not forget that Israel is RESPONDING to the ongoing attacks by its neighbors who have a deep and unending hatred for their nation and won't stop until all are dead. Israel is willing to live with their neighbors, but Palestine is not willing to live in peace with Israel. Peace to Jerusalem.

2 Corinthians 4:6-11 #TPT
For God, who said, “Let brilliant light shine out of darkness,” is the one who has cascaded his light into us—the brilliant dawning light of the glorious knowledge of God as we gaze into the face of Jesus Christ.
We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious treasure within, so that this immeasurable power will be seen as God’s, not ours.
Though we experience every kind of pressure, we’re not crushed. At times we don’t know what to do, but quitting is not an option.
We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not out.
We continually share in the death of Jesus in our own bodies so that the resurrection life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.
We consider living to mean that we are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake so that the life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.

Please pray for an aged Gospel worker, he remained a bachelor to care for orphans.
Left his homeland and settled among the people group he adopted.
He is on treatment for prostate related issues. Restless and sad as there are no visitors. Dementia, even gets paranoid sometimes.
Please pray for Divine health and peace.
TIA.
@ByGraceAlone - "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,"
Ephesians 1:17-18 😊
God bless you!
