@MaryMamuzich thank you so much for your prayers! They were sooo timely! Nobody knew this, but just yesterday, my wife had to start using crutches to walk. Arthritis in her knees is now so bad that she can't walk without them. She has tried every drug, natural remedy, exercise, therapy, shoe, and even had minor surgery - but all to no avail. it looks like she will need to have both knees completely replaced.
And my youngest son....he is making the incredibly difficult decision of whether to go into military intelligence or a special warfare unit. he has already been selected by both, so now he has to choose. you have NO idea how much your prayers mean to us. thank you for standing in the trenches for our family.

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
—James 1:12

A quote from S. Wigglesworth

"Take your position from the first epistle of John and declare, “He who is in [me] is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

Then recognize that it is not you who has to deal with the power of the Devil, but the Greater One who is in you.

Oh, what it means to be filled with Him! You can do nothing in yourself, but He who is in you will win the victory".

@Berrybunchfamily Spring is arriving and it is so very welcome. It's wonderful to enjoy the "little things" in life, such as hanging your clean laundry. There is so much going on in the world today that can dishearten us or cause us to fear. In this world, we will face trouble, but JESUS has overcome the world. He's already done it. It's not that He might do it, or even that He will do it eventually. He HAS done it. Resurrection Sunday is coming soon, but we can already celebrate His victory that is now ours. We can enjoy the good gifts He gives us. I believe He wants us to enjoy the sunrise, the sunset, a job well-done, a smile or hug from a loved one, a greeting from a stranger, or whatever goodness He sends our way. He knows there are difficulties to face, but our seeing His hand in the small details of life helps to put these trials in perspective. He is so worthy of our praise and our worship. Thank you for sharing these joys from your day!

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus I ask you to bless all my brothers and sisters in Christ who are on Ding Dash.

You know their life, their challenges, their fears, their problems and everything else in their life.

In the name of Jesus, deliver them, O Father, from all danger, give them the strength, the grace, the help of angels and everything they need to do Your will faithfully.

Comfort, Father, through the Holy Spirit, those who are discouraged, heal those who are sick and protect everyone.

May your powerful love continue to reign in the hearts of all of us, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

LOVE THIS!

So, today was the first day that Polish citizens could hear rockets falling on the Ukrainian territory...

My neighbor was on the border when the Russians hit the military base, he clearly saw tens of rockets falling down, bringing death and destruction to our friends.

You HAVE to be filled the Holy Spirit to be able to respond with Bibles and not Bombs.

Do you want to pray?

Pray for the fire of revival spreading through Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia.

Update from Russian friends.

I BELONG TO JESUS

I belong to Jesus;
I am not my own;
All I have and all I am,
Shall be His alone.

I belong to Jesus;
He is Lord and King,
Reigning in my inmost heart,
Over everything.

I belong to Jesus;
Blessèd, blessèd thought!
With His own most precious blood
Has my soul been bought.

I belong to Jesus;
He has died for me;
I am His and He is mine,
Through eternity.

I belong to Jesus;
He will keep my soul,
When the deathly waters dark
Round about me roll.

I belong to Jesus;
And ere long I’ll stand
With my precious Savior there
In the glory land.

(Maud Fra­ser, 1891)

Please PRAY urgently for Chinese Pastor Pan and The Mayflower Church. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Their testimony is incredible. Pastor Pan led his church of 28 adults and 32 children to pose as tourists and they fled China to the S. Korean island of JeJu, where they currently are. They have been denied asylum in S. Korea and unless they are accepted elsewhere (which they have not been up till now), they will be forced to return to China very shortly to face intense persecution and torture. They are submitted to the Lord's will in all things and are ready to face their return if need be. Pastor Pan is an amazing man of God and bold leader in the Chinese Underground Church. I'm posting an older article from Nov. '21 because it has great photos of them: This weighs so heavily upon my heart. Please pray. You will find out in the article how they got their name of "The Mayflower Church". https://vomkorea.com/en/2021/11/09/vomk-report-178/#comment-8637
