... Because God spared not His own Son from the trials and sorrows of earth, God will not spare us similar experiences. After all, we are one in Christ. Yet being full of compassion and plenteous in mercy, God will see to it that the ill He does permit is for His glory and our present and eternal good. Did He not allow His children to be cast into the fiery furnace, thrown into the lion’s den, and driven out from their homes to wander in sheepskins and goatskins? Yet God sanctified unto them these grievous trials and turned the curse into blessing. If He scourges with one hand, He supports with the other, and thus He is our consolation. (See Jeremiah 31:13.)

Like John on the isle of Patmos, some saints are finding themselves in places of restriction in this hour, and are struggling with all the emotional trappings that attend imprisonment and confinement.

Feelings such as hopelessness, uselessness, despair, abandonment, rejection, reproach, lack of understanding, loneliness, vulnerability, etc.

With such a host of emotions assaulting the prisoner’s equilibrium, it’s difficult to maintain an unswerving confidence in the simple secret of this chapter:

When you’re in confinement, God is closer to you than you realize.

The Lord assures the afflicted soul, “‘I will be with him in trouble’” (Psalm 91:15).

When you’ve been troubled by circumstances that twist and press your soul, be assured that your Lord is closer to you than ever!

Prayer Request!
My sweet mom had carpal tunnel surgery on her right hand yesterday morning. She's a touch 91 year old that looks and acts 70.

Any hackers out there have the Covid App done?! I was advised today that my 16 year old who is in a Musical Theatre course at high school can participate in the year end production without being vaccinated BUT … any students 17 or older CANNOT participate in the production due to the venue rules. (But they can stay in the class and get their years worth of credits 🙄). AND parents who are not vaccinated will not be allowed to attend any of the productions. Also, the production is not allowed to be videoed to watch. 😡
I know this is our reality and there are greater issues in the world- but this is an unjust attack on families, students and youth.

When you’re desperate for God, you become dependent upon the daily sustaining power of His word. Your source of survival is your daily manna— feeding on the word of God. We know the manna of the wilderness was good for only one day; if kept over into the next day, it would rot (Exodus 16:12-31). It’s still true that yesterday’s feeding in the word will never sustain us for today. One of the primary functions of the secret place is to be fed afresh each day in His word. (B. Sorge)

O Lord, begin to make a way for me in the wilderness. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" (Ephesians 3:20).

Me too. Honestly, I must confess it's not easy to stand the pressure. They are blaming us every day in Finnish media that the virus is still existing. I have seen several videos of Americans being ushered out of their working places. Yesterday a Christian man who was employedd at UCLA got fired because he wasn't jabbed. He had worked there for 7 years, and was working there risking his own health during the outbreak of c. (You can see the clip on rooted.wings on Instagram) I am still waiting for more people in my country to get their eyes opened on what's going on. But not even the fact that vaccinated people get the virus and transmit it, and that they get hospitalized, have open their eyes. The problem? We should give it to children 2-11 now. And a third and a fourth jab. They don't see any connections to young people and healthy people getting strange symptoms some weeks or months after the shot. There are three levels of adverse reactions, and immediate allergic reactions are rare.

When after the First World War the first mass vaccination campaign began in South Africa, the AFM (the Mission of the Apostolic Faith), a Pentecostal denomination founded in 1908 (but legally recognized in 1913) by the American Pentecostal preacher John Graham Lake (together with the collaborator Thomas Hezmalhach), who knew William Seymour personally and had been to the Azusa Street Apostolic Faith Mission in Los Angeles, was an important member of the National Anti Vaccination League (see AFM Executive Committee Minutes 1915-20, entry for 28 July 1920; in Barry Morton, Engenas Lekganyane and the Early ZCC: An Unauthorized History, 2018, p. 96,219).

I would be happy somebody could prove this is not true, but the source is the British government, according to this article. (A link to the source of the article is in the bottom of the article). This means the more shots you get, the more vulnerable you are to get sick from mutations. Then it's a total fraud. It's better not to get the vaccine.

"N antibody levels appear to be lower in people who acquire infection following two doses of vaccination.”

"What the British are saying is they are now finding the vaccine interferes with your body’s innate ability after infection to produce antibodies against not just the spike protein but other pieces of the virus. Specifically, vaccinated people don’t seem to be producing antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein, the shell of the virus, which are a crucial part of the response in unvaccinated people."

Joined an underground meeting of about 25 people today. The Holy Spirit came down during 10 hours of crazy fellowship.
I didn't want it to stop!

These are pictures we took at an orphanage we visit to help. Our hearts break as we wipe dirt or dry vomit off their little bodies. Or unleash them from a chain holding them to the wall so they can’t move more than a foot away. Or tend their oozing infections in their mouths, feet or wherever. When I have one of these little ones near me all I feel is love and compassion. To tend them with the most Jesus love possible. We can’t go see them right now because of covid. I hate covid. But when I PRAY, I ASK GOD TO SHEILD THEIR MINDS AND HEARTS and to help them feel HIS LOVE regardless of what humans are doing. And I BELIEVE with ALL MY HEART that God answers and honors these prayers. For HIS heart breaks even more than mine.

So Christians please care! As a church we CAN make a difference. We can adopt. We can support financially. We can help physically. We can pray. We can advocate.

Or We can forget and look away.

My thoughts from China tonight.

The Greek word translated "compassion" is amazingly powerful. It implies a forceful, physical reaction in a person's body in the abdominal area. It is a reaction so strong that it demands a response. A person who is "moved with compassion" cannot stand by and observe. He must do something. Why was Jesus so moved? "Because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd" (Matthew 9:36 NKJV).
D. Prince

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:16 NKJV

This is apartheid, but I'm glad that it's not as strict as in Australia, Canada, France, Israel etc. But I wish we would have chosen the same path as the other Nordic countries.

"While it remains to be seen how widespread use of the pass will be, the types of establishments which could request the pass include: sports venues, gyms, swimming pools, theatres, museums and similar cultural spaces as well as bars, restaurants and nightclubs."
