Amen. Well said.
I don't always avoid being weary in well doing.
But I do try to do the right thing regardless of feeling weary or not. Don't always manage even that. But the heart is there.
THX.
There was another who had even been embalmed and was raised from the dead...w/out any physical problems whatsoever. ;o)
i SURE agree about being ready at all times.
Thanks.
It seems clear that it's a very sobering time, though.
Last night on the radio was this satanistic kind of guy trashing The Bible and pontificating about all the future stuff including the camps, the implant etc. like it was serious due to ecological reasona and how the world gov was going to have to take over to prolong life as long as possible etc. it was horrid. I turned it off right away.
Thankfully, we have AN ETERNAL HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS, CREATOR OF ALL; LORD OF ALL.
Oh, WCF has clues about a lot of things but he is rather super skeptical in spiritual and UFO areas. LOL.
I pray God finds a sufficiently big 2 X 4 to wake him up to eternal priorities IN TIME. LOL.
Other than that, I consider him a dear friend.
Very well said shield.
You and vrwcagent0498--are you each willing to be or interested in being on my pending

"Cheez"
Spell it 'Cheese' and we'd agree.
Thanks, Quix. Funny you should mention it - I've been doing a lot of work with 2X4's lately.
I thought of something else that's happened in India...a gentlemen who is a former Hindu...didn't know how to read...he wanted to learn to read so he could study the scriptures, so he prayed and ask The Lord. The Lord word by word taught him how to read. ;o)
ahhhh.
Welllll one could pray that someone who loves you was swinging?
LUB,
Fascinating.
I can believe that.
Well believe it 'cause it's true. I've heard things like that for yrs. However, there is a real move of the spirit throughout the world. We here in states have had ours from time to time, but it's really taking place every place.
And come back to Taiwan soon, at least for a visit.
Have you heard anything about the Joe Vialls story about the Dec 26th earthquake actually being a nuclear detonation?
I bless you in Jesus' name and pray your life is really revving back up to come back to Taiwan and/or China, Harvey
Thanks tons Precious Bro,
No, hadn't heard the nuke story, per se.
Still eager to return.
Have you on the ping list.
Thanks much.
Greatly appreciate your prayers.
LUB,
BLPH,

Nah, it's either Jeez, or Cheez. Sorry (smile).

We serve a big God who’s doing Godsize® things today around the world. Every day God is intervening in the lives of ordinary people just like you.
I had hardly settled into the car seat after my 20-hour trip from Houston to Lagos, Nigeria when my host, Pastor George, began telling me how he had raised a woman from the dead the day before. I listened courteously, yet incredulously to his story.
The elderly and frail mother of a woman in his church had passed away early that morning before dawn. Two men from her village carried the dead body on a cart to her daughter’s home in a neighboring village, informed the family of the death, and laid the woman’s corpse on a bed.
When the church member sent word to the pastor’s home about her mother’s passing she discovered Pastor George was in the city on business for the entire day.
At 8 o’clock that evening when he returned home his wife told him of the woman’s death. So, Pastor George freshened up and went to the home of his grieving church member. Once there he was taken into the bedroom where the woman’s body had been lying for more than 12 hours.
George told me, “She had been dead the entire day. I touched her hand and her body was cold and hard. So, I said a brief prayer over her and began to leave the room. When I got to the bedroom door the Holy Spirit said, ‘tell her to get up.’ I immediately thought, ‘that’s crazy.’ Then I felt the Lord say again, ‘tell her to get up.’
“So, without any faith whatsoever I turned back to the corpse lying on the bed and said, ‘Lady, get up.’ I waited for a moment. As I had suspected it was clear that nothing was going to happen. Then as I turned to leave, out of the corner of my eye I saw what appeared to be a twitch on her face.
“Pastor Eddie, she began to slowly move her extremities and in a few moments she sat up, dazed and confused. I walked over to her and helped her stand. Wobbly at first, she grabbed me and hugged me.
“We were standing there rejoicing with each other when one of the men who had delivered her body that morning came through the door. As soon as he saw her standing beside me, he screamed and ran from the house with his friend close behind!”
When I arrived at the civic center to speak that night I told the leader of the crusade, “The pastor you sent to pick me up at the airport this morning, Pastor George, thinks he raised a lady from the dead yesterday.”
This well-known national leader said, “Eddie, such things are commonplace in Nigeria. Many of the 15,000 Christian leaders you will be speaking to have raised someone from the dead, been raised from the dead, or have someone in their family or church who’s been raised from the dead.”
Six months later I was enjoying prime rib with two friends at the world-famous historic Broadmoor Hotel at the foot of Pike Peak in Colorado Springs. While we were eating I shared my Nigerian story with them. As I did, they looked at each other and smiled. I stopped.
A bit indignant I challenged, “You guys don’t even believe me, do you?”
“Oh, we believe you alright,” one answered. “We just think it’s interesting you’re telling us this story. You see, we just returned from a trip to India. The missions organizations we work for sent us there with a videography team from New York to produce a one-hour video about people who have raised someone from the dead, have been raised from the dead, or who have a member of their family whose been raised from the dead.”
Six months later, my wife Alice and I were teaching a conference on spiritual warfare at the base chapel of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Those attending the conference were all military officers and their wives from all 5 branches of the U.S. military, as well as officers from various armies of the world.
At one point, I shared with them the story I just shared with you. At the break, a group of the officers rushed to the back of the room and cornered a black officer. After a moment or two they turned with a smile, a nervous laugh, and walked away. I stopped one of the men and asked, “Why did you all rush back to talk to the black officer? And who is he?”
“He’s a Kenyan Army major,” he explained. “He’s been here a little over a month. Two weeks ago he came to Christ. We went back to see if he could verify your story about God raising people from the dead in Nigeria.
“And what did he say,” I asked.
He replied, “The major told us he’s from Kenya, not Nigeria. He said, ‘I have no idea what happens in Nigeria. But in Kenya, God raising people from the dead is commonplace.’”
Western Christians are settling for far too little. God wants to do so much more. Scripture says of Jesus, “And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief” (Matthew 13:58). Is it possible that our unbelief is keeping God from performing many mighty works in our cities?
God wants to do “exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.” Our hope is that as you read the stories in this edition of Godsize® Stories from Around the World you will be inspired to trust God for more than you’ve ever trusted Him for before.
Godsize® stories are stories of God doing incredible things in the lives of ordinary people. We are looking for your stories. You can submit them at www.godsize.com.
Thanks for the ping!
