Matthew 16:24‭-‬27 #TPT
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways.
For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.
For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world—at the cost of your own life—what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul?
I, the Son of Man, will one day return with my messengers and in the splendor and majesty of my Father. And then I will reward each person according to what they have done.

UPDATE ABOUT LITTLE JOSHUA WITH SEIZURES: He has improved but is still not completely back to normal. Today he is struggling with hyperactivity and emotional meltdowns (common after seizures). Thank you for all who cared and Prayed!

Salvation is both simple and incomprehensible; He had mercy on me and saved me because He loves me! My humanity can never comprehend why Almighty God should love me, I can only accept it humbly.

As you join your church services today, please remember those that were forcefully taken from theirs.

URGENT:

Urgent. Pray right away. I (mom) woke up to find Joshua laying beside me - in the middle of a seizure. His don’t shake. Instead he loses body control and can’t move or talk and his heart races etc. so they are basically silent with zero movement. And dangerous because of his type. Christina rushed to take over care of him while I went and mixed the emergency meds. Time is important.

We have given him his emergency medication. And see some small improvement already. But please pray if you see this.🥺🥺🥺🥺

About 18 months ago we started a little shop that sold women's accessories to women living in war torn areas of Iraq. No one really expected it to do much business, but women are simply amazing. Even during war, they still have an innate desire to be pretty and prepare for weddings, events, etc. Perhaps it brings a bit of normalcy to a horrible situation? IDK....
SALES SKYROCKETED. Little did we know that our small shop would grow SO much SO fast.
When we started, our shop was so small that we didn't even give it a name, but that little nameless shop has grown over 2,000% and is branching out and franchising into different nations - ALL with female management from war torn areas - and I am proud to announce that we NOW have a name...and it is the best name EVER:
MINNA - simply the prettiest name I know.

Spring has certainly arrived in Scotland, on that note I was thinking it won't be long until we see the first butterflies. That prompted this post about prayers.

with all those online purchases, did you know that you could support the underground house church without spending anything extra?
It is super simple. Don't waste another purchase.

Missionaries in Myanmar: PART 1
“Dear loving Brethren,
I am writing this Report with a broken and trembling heart.My eye is filled with sadness and tears of hurt. First of all I want to beg you to pray for our safety and protection.
The military has taken control and is killing civilians. Everyday we needed to collect dead bodies on the road with tears and pains.Banks are being shut down, and it isn’t easy to get online.
Everywhere is filled with smoke and fire as factories are burned and destroyed.Thousands of people don’t have work,food,and a place to stay now.Almost all of our church members ran back to their village. There is neither market nor a shop where we can buy food because every road is blocked.How long will we last if it continues like this!?
Just a while ago, the soldiers’ truck came and stopped near our house. We were terrified; they captured six people who were having tea in the shop. God is my only Hope.

Praying for Myanmar today!
