So was it just a discipline from the Lord?

I woke up to day and my first thought was "You need to eat well today." How strange! But actually, the Lord knows better what our bodies need.

Sam was sick this morning and did not go to work. After his extra hours of sleping he felt better. We are hoping to get together today to watch a movie.

I spent some time with Hellen today and learned about her perspective on relationships. She is a great friend, and I am happy to be her friend rafiki.

Then I went to the Wellness center and run 3 circles. It was good!!! ( not to be so spiritual or supersticious, but I walked the circles with Sam and read abut Joshua marchining around the city of Jericho. Anyway)

It has been good to read some newspaper about alcohol and smoking issues in Anderson, In.

Now, let me write this scripture:

"Endure hardship as discipline.
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.
Later on, however, it produces a harvest
of righteousness and peace
for those who have been trained by it."

Hebrews 12: 7, 11

The Lord disciplines those He loves. (It could be a great topic for yound adults at Judy's).

Tommorow

Tomorrow, on March 25, I decree a fast. May the Lord help me to persever and be filled with His power. I ned His help so much in many areas and this is one of the crucial weapons that we fight against the enemy- fasting.

The enemy is raging like a lion against me, but I will not give up in the name of Jesus.

Fast for:
1) not complain or argue when timess are difficult. Philippians 2:14-15 "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure"
2)change of a degree to Master of Divinity
3)friendship with Sam
4) do not give up relationship with Samuel
5) pray for Bruce (Larisa's husband). He needs salvation and transformation of his heart.


Praise the Lord!

Father, I thank You that since th ebeginning of times, You knew about this moment. You redeemed a lot of hard things in my life and thank You for the best that You prepared for me. I praise You for all that You have done, especially the seen changes this new year. You, however, have been always at work even when I was unaware. Forgive me for going my ways, instead of listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Thank You for lovin gme just as You loved Jesus, Your Son. I anticipate Your work in greater degree. May Your enemies flee and be scattered, may we win this battle together.
I love You,
in You I put my trust.

Amen.

Part II

Then I had a conversation with Sam. We talked about friendship. It was painful to admit that his friends were closer to him than I am. We talked about the boundaries for our relationship.

Jael has helped me with a dance giving her best ideas about the plan and praying over me.

I talked to my family. My mom is planning to come to U.S. in April and she encouraged me int eh Lord. She urged me to call grandma. I bought a phone card to Russia.

During the work, a friend of mine returned a DVD called "The Rape of Europe". So I asked him: "Is it about Hitler?" He said, "Yes." I told him about my dream, he was surprized.

I am planning to change my degree from Intercultural Service to Master of Divinity.

Part I

Deuteronomy 20:1-4
When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, will be with you. When you are about to go into battle, the priest shall come forward and address the army. He shall say: "Hear, Israel: Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be frightened or afraid; do not be terrified or give way to panic before them. For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.

On March 12, 2009, I heard the Holy Spirit say: "Now, get ready for another intake of adversity." (Adversity means distress, a narrow place)It did not mean anything to me. I had no clue or understanding of what it could mean. But slowly the Lord revealed that the Spring Break will be my time in Gilgal (Read Joshua 5 adn 6). I knew that during that weak, th enemy will not attack me because "their hearts melted in fear and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites." (5:1) It says that "Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in." (6:1).
So during the Break I was in Florida (camping trip) and Michigan (worship service). In between of those trips I encouted a battle with flesh, where the flush took over. But after I cam home from Michigan, the adversity took place.

My dream:
Masses of people were running away from the troops of a political army or just an enemy with weapons. I remember that at one point everyone was supposed to run to the right, but I saw my sister with another girl running straight. So I decided to run along with my sister. But there was a young fellow who not only pursued us, but who also shouted: "Weapons on them!" So we kept running and behind us were many armed troops. They had nacist hats and long weapons. When we saw ahead that there were innocent people standing in line and some of the armed troop was already there, we realized that we need to submit and stay in line too. At first we grouped together, clinging closer to each other: four, then two people in line. Then we all in one line, some people behind us. I saw three main figures in front of me. Starting on the left: an influencial woman, a priest, and Hitler.
After that woman spoke, now was the priest's turn to pray. He prayed a good prayer. Then he sarted reading the Bible and with words: "Hitler... oh it's not good", he stopped. Hitler became immediately furious and ordered to kill him. In seconds, the priest was put on ear phones and was killed.
People stood in line with heads down because of fear and sorrow. Hitler said, "Lift your faces." I turned my face up to heaven with closed eyes. I had peace over and inside of me. He stopped at my and said that I would go. I came forward, they put earphones on me and I WOKE UP.

Then the scripture came to my mind from Isaiah 53:7 "He was led like a lamb to the slaughter..."


This is part I to the story about Adversity.

random facts

Last night we came back from the camping trip. On the way back, my mom called and the presence of the Lord filled me. But then the rest of the trip I just thought about pleasures and embraces with Sam. (Seducing spirit in time of distress)It led me to totally refocus my eye from Jesus to sin. So I repent and desire to fix my thought and eyes on Jesus again.

It is a contunious walk with Christ, it is not one time event. It is daily perseverance until we reach the end of the race.

Anyway, Sam called and he shared his experiences with a Choral. I got to share some of mine expriences on the trip.

And today in the evening we have a rehearsal with Zen and Armando.


Lord, Jesus, Perfector of our fatith,

lead me in a way of everlasting, passing by the traps of evil and leaping forward to your destiny.

Bless those who mourn and hunger for You.
Send us peace.

Psalm 18

Psalm 18

  • He shot His arrows and scattered the enemy, with great olts of lightening He routed them. The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, Lord, at the last of breath from Your nostrils. (14-15).
  • With Your help I can advance against a troop (or can run through a barricade); with my God I can scale a wall. (29)
  • It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; He causes me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. (32-34)
  • I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet. You armed me with strength for attle; you humbled my adversaries before me. You made my enemies tuen their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes. (37-40)
  • I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets. You have delivered me from the attacks of people; You have made me the head of nations. (42-43)

An Enemy is Exposed!

Flee satan, you are exposed, your hidden schemes are seen by the Spirit of God.

My face today received a terrible sickness. It has been before once. That time I felt that something was wrong with the cream... Today Hellen told me that the cream is wrong. So I checked the product. The website is www.straightfromtheroot.com , their main webpage says:

"Pamper: treat (someone) with great indulgence...spoil." Then it gives 10 main products, five of those have the title: "plant magic".

Now, you can see the readers, that the root of the product is satan. He was hidding himself under the innocent title "straightfromtheroot". It is a product from England. Lord, I pray that you will expose the demonic activity that has a stronghold in the Great Britan. What is it and how can we pray against it?

The Holy Spirit told me to call Hellen and she will let me know what to do. I called her and she prayed long, casting out the demonic activity into the fire of hell. Praise God! I cried and prayed in tongues druing the prayer.

Glory be to God!


The second event of the day: was a letter from Yrij Kim. He is among the friends on www.vkontakte.ru . He wrote a message saying, "Hi Ekaterina! Visit the site gcoa.ru It was during the break and again I was with Hellen. Just as the website was downloading, I saw the word "porno". Immediately, I closed the site and was shocked!!! He has all these Christian things on the main page. So, I wrote him back by the advice of Hellen.

"Yrij. You need to repent for the website you sent me. I so not condemn you, may the Loving Lord bless you. And do not write to me anymore." As I was sitting and writing this, the thought came to me, 'maybe somebody took an access underhis name and wrote it." So, I investigated his website on www.vkontakte.ru . It appeared that he had a link toward another site, when I opened that, it was the same evil site "porno", under the different title.

Lord, I pray that You do justly with that man. I hope that he will repent but i he is not willing to repent, I ask You, Father, to stop him from doing this evil. Hellen said that he is a wolf in a sheep clothe. Amen.

Today was the day of battle. Praise the Lord! Halleluja!!!
Thank you Lord for my friend Hellen and a partner in Your name, Jesus.

Do you wanna be used by God?

1) To be used by God, we need to be clean vessels.
  • In the tabernacle, all the items were clean, holy and devoted for the Lord.
  • Holiness comes from the Lord. "I will make him/ her holy" (Lev. 21:8)
  • "Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of revernace for God." 2 Corinthians 7:1)

2) To be used by God is to experience resistance from authority.

  • Do you wanna be used by God or have authority and honor from men?
  • Jesus submitted to the will of God. Authorities did not accept him. Did He do the will of God? Yes. "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. ... he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." (Matthew 26:38, 39)
  • It will brings tears; you would feel abandoned from the help of men

Meeting at the Paramaunt Theater.

The Lord provided money to go in. It costed $25, I had only 13, so Tara took 10 dollars and payed for the ticket. By the end of the meeting, Judy came to me and said, "Can I pay for your ticket?" I told her that Tara paid for part of my ticket. So she gave $10. I believe this is an abundance coming from the throne of the Father to my willingness to give money from cheking account. So, Lord, I pray and invite the work of the Holy Spirit to do things that are beautiful and pleasing before You.

Thank You, Father, (I acknowledge Your presence) for the way You had this meeting. Thank you for the dry and difficult period I've been for several days. To know that You are protecting me with Your embrace! Your are my shield against any deception or seducing spirits. In You I put my wholy life in trust.

Father, I ask You to speak to me concerning the past. Please teach me why things happen and the results of it... Please, bring Your heavenly wholeness to my being that You created.

i love you fanatically. you are my all!

Thank You, Sweet Holy Spirit for teaching about love increasing. I repent even now for the grieving Your presence in my life by anger, bitterness, offenses, etc. Now, I invite You Gentle holy Spirit and create that love circle flow into the full measure of the fullness of God (Ephesians 3).


The person spoke that You put your fingers on my heart concerning the Cross. A revelation about the Cross! Then, You gave the word through that person about discipleship heart to heart. Thank You, Father, for abilities to remember. I ask You in the name of Jesus to remember the things You have done, Your presence, Your word, all about You, I want to remember!!!!!!

Thank you for Tara, mama.
Thank You, bless her so much. Thank you for great things flowing and Your love for her is astonishingly great.

I think there is a significance to what has happened and the fact that we move one hour ahead on our watch. We are advanving in our knowledge of the Lord and His desire for relationship.

Thank you for Lisa, praying over Iana and Michael. Thank You, Father for the miracle of deliverance.

Sweet Holy Spirit stay with me from now on. Reveal and teach the Word of God and everything You have to teach me. I am Yours an donly Your eternally. I ask Your wisdom in how I spend the realtionship with people. Take away the fear, but also give me a discerning heart to know that which is pleasing before You. I break any soul ties in Jesus name. Father, I do not want to act in my ignorance or own understanding, I ask You to pour out Your presence and understanding what You want me to do about it. Remember, I am Your forever. You are my Father for ever and ever. Amen!

I love You Jesus.

strange dreams

Hello dear readers and praise be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thanks be to Him fro His grace and unfailing love.

I would like to share the dream that I had last night. It is a long and dynamic dream with a good ending.

First of all, I was travelling to the church and inside I was having lunch with my girld friends. I just talked on the phone with Sam and was upset that he forgot my birthday. He said that he is going to a party or a meeting that he planned. I was sad because I though he forgot my birthday. But he said over th ephone that he sent me mails and his love. As I continued to eat my lkunch, I noticed on my left infront a table, where Sam was eating his lunch. He finished and I went downstairs with him.

Then I see us swimming in the pool. There were three of us. We had talked and swimmed harmoniousliy in the water.

Then, my favorite part, was his phone call. He waked me up and said: "Oh, when you lay down the phone I want you to pray. Jesus said, "A new commandment I give to you that you love one another." Then I woke up.

Then I went to slepp again and my dream was not very good. There were some dangerous fighting with guns. One of the person took a bullet and was about to shoot me, but I asked not to. So he agreed and shoot into the glass. I covered myself with a paper against the broken pieces of glass. Then, we went inside of that small room. People started cleaning... Sam and I stood outside hugging each other for a short brief moment.

I also saw my father Albert, when Sam and I stopped by the house. he was a little bit drunk, so I had to tell that we were just for a moment ( I needed to change or take something with me)... I saw the blood in the house.

Well, this were my dreams...

I am thankful that my laptop is working. Last night I wished to listen to some sermons that are MP3. The only way I could do that was through computer. I tried and it worked, praise the Lord. Thus, I started listening to S. Shidlovskiy right away.
