Joy

Hello my dear friends,

I am very happy that there is a word to share with you. Today I will speak about the joy that comes through faith.


Several days ago (during the THanksgiving Break) I had a dream. The boy was so depressed, almost seek. I wondered in my dream what happened, why he was so sad. I remember coming to the hospital to cisit him. There were no emotions on his face but still sadness.


On Sunday School we talked about being CONTENT.

Content in who you are, what you have and who you are with. (Phil. 4:8, Hebr. 13:5, Ps. 62:10).


However, in order to be content you need to be restored first. (That's why I came to the hospital). Restored physically, emotionally and spiritually. But restoration comes from LOVE.


2. Fill yourself with the Word of God. Romans 10:17 "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God". When you are in faith, the joy will be your outcome. Nehemiah 8:10 "THe joy of the Lord is your strength". Psalm 40:16 "Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You" "Rejoice always" 1 Thessalonians 5:16.


3. Today Keeth Moore spoke on "joy of faith". Romans 15:13 "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing". He said that joy is gage to your faith. If you are in faith, you have joy.


So, I hope that you and I will respond in faith to God and fill our heart with joy.

Fire on my FEET

Hi beloved friends.

Praise the Lord Almighty who is doing GREAT things! He is above all other names! He is alone greatly to be praised.


Well, today at our late Evening Sunday Service, the Holy Spirit was stirring in my heart the desire to be near to God. Nikolai's dear grandmother, Marybeth has elped me to come closer to God in prayer.

She asked me, "What do you want to pray for?" I said: "Fire on my feet." She laughed and then prayed.


Let me explain to you what that means to have a fire on my feet. I prayed to Jesus: "Lord, I want to go and just witness people about Jesus. Lord, give me boldness. It does not matter what people might think, I just want to do Your work. Jesus, I love You and want more of You. For this reason I need to have Bible with me, (Maybe candiesor other gifts)...


THen after the prayer, the Holy Spirit showed this scripture:


How then shall they call on Him in whome they have not believed? ANd how shal they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? ANd how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How Beautiful are the Feet of those who PREACH the Gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things." Romans 10:14-15


IN ORDER to testify about Jesus to people we need to have fire on our feet to be bold and corageous, not afraid!
