Amazing GOD, our Lord Jesus is wonderful!!!!

Yesterday, He gave me an opportunity to pray and out of it I had a vision and a yearning to draw a picture of the wave coming to the shore. He blessed the drawing that I know, but today He showed that there is a prophetic meaning to the painting.
God calls un in 2011 not to be like Peter who looked into the waves, but to look into the eyes of Jesus.

song and dance

Jeremiah 31:13

Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well.

I will turn their mourning into gladness.

I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.

Wonderful affirmation of joy before we danced at Park Place Church of God.

Samuel wrote a song in German called "Lazy Town" about a woman/snow from heaven.

With thankfulness at heart,

Katya

My dear friends,

It is wonderful to share what it in my heart. First of all, I plead the blood of Jesus over the words and attituted of my heart. If there is anything that I wanted to say that contradicts the desires of Your Holy Spirit, I pray that you will correct me.

I had a longing for studying lately. It could be a challenge that distracts my focus from loving the Lord Jesus. However, I am thankful for this opportunity to learn.

Secondly, my prayers to Jesus have been few. It is silent and lays still under the storm of worries, studies and other activities. Jesus once said to Martha, if only she just sat down to his feet and listen to the word like Mary did.

My emotions have been in turmoil lately: loneliness, sadness... I count for the days Samushka will come. I detach myself sometimes from people, and then it is hard to get connected to them. Judy has been a blessing as usual. I am continually amazed at her servant-like heart. She lives daily to bless the lives of others. She rejoices in her state and as she looks her eyes on Jesus.

My mamochka is learning to be caring mom I did not know before. She cooks and cleans and does everything for the house. It is a transformation, glory to God. She prays and reads the Word in secret, for which I am thankful. She is strong and persevering, giving joy to Patience and others. She bears my weaknesses and loves me.

Dear Lord, one prophetess notices of my emotions, how lonely and difficult I feel at times. Forgive me Jesus for any action and attitude of my heart that displeased you. I am weak Lord, and need you very much.
Thank you for the semester! It was a good academic semester. You relieved me from taking classes with a professor that I struggled with. Thank you.

Dear Jesus, do you love me? Do you still love me just as much as loved from the beginning? Do I love You, JEsus? Do I love you just as much as from the beginning?
Jesus, I am weary and in need of Your presence, forgivenss, power, healing.
I rebuke any pride and desire for recogntion. May your servant be there where you call her to be among lowly and oppressed. I thank you for the small joys You give, You provide so many times. THank you! You fulfill the desires of our hearts. Thank you!
You are constantly faithful! You are not like men!!! Glory to God!!!! You are not human men!!!!!
There is none like you!!!!! Your word is true, Your love is undeserving. Your faitfulness is unshakable. You are LOVE!!!!!!!!

I love you and long for You. Take me into Your divine, mighty hands. Deliver us from any opporession of the enemy and grant us peace. In Jesus name

Common now

I have a sweet expecation about this Christmas! Sam and I decorated our first Christmas tree. We made and got each other presents: )

love

Great Thanksgiving weekend and holiday! Celebrated mamochka's birthday and much more.

Last night, being at Judy with Mike, Sam, and others were amazing. We worshipped and worshipped, prayed and staff like that. The Lord revealed to me that HE IS LOVE. He acts and responds in love. He is the most loving person.!

On elijahlist today there was an article about love. Here is the link:

Love you

why?

Good morning! Readers, today I spent over an hour looking over the blog in search for any reason why I feel pain and frustration with my relationship with mom. I could not find anything particular, but the issue is still there.

I feel so disconnected from her. She is great! She does so much for the wellbeing of my life. But I just act in so strange manners...
Holy Spirit, I know that forgiveness is the way, but help me to be sincere in that.

What's going on?
Can You help us?

Digging wells!!!!
We have been thinking about thsi phenomenn of digging the wells of salvation here in Anderson. Today in Herald's Bulletin (Nov. 15), there was a front artickle abut East Side Church of God collecting pennies for digging of the wells in third world countries.

Awesome!

Sam mentioned about the dream that it is ancient battle. It is an ancient way to cut off the enemy's head.
I was reminded of David and Goliath.

This weekend Sam and I spent such a great time! He performed in the opera "Die Fledermaus" at IU Jacob School of Music. Lots of great activites and experiences we had!

We returned to Anderson on Sunday evening. I had a dream.

Out of the window I see Nick. He was calling me from New York (but I could see and hear him very near). In the room where I was there were children. Somebody ( like Lytha) did disciplining and correcting them. Then I was outside, sitting . He commented on the wedding ring he got. it was made of gold with green stones. He wanted me to look at it (but I knew in teh spirit of the power of touch) so I refused to take it into my hands. Then I decided to walk away from him and then run into the bus till the next stop. (I had twenty rubles, they gave me 5 and coins back). From there I rode a bike around the neighborhood. I went into the kindergarten and military camp. AS soon as I got out safely out of the military place. I was in the open area in the city, seeing two guy friends. So I was just about to tell them about N. and here appears. Then I told my friends that they will be my witnesses. He was drunk and holding the wine bottle drinking from it. I made a sign of throwing up in disgust. He became angry and chased after me but I cried out to protect me and two guy friends stepped into the scence. They were pushed back at first. THEN in a very slow motion picture (like in the movies) I see my friend gettin gup from the ground, hitting the glass, taking a peace and completely cutting N.'s head off. I woke up.

For the last few days, my mom spent in America. We have talked a lot, went shopping and thing like that. I feel pain and frustration lots of times... It feels like the battle is against me this season. On the other hand, I feel an immense breakthrough toward a new authority in Christ for the lost and for the endurance.
I am sorry if I am itchy or impolite to you this season,
Forgive my shortcomings but help me to go through this door into God's destiny.

Blessings all over you and Sammy!!!

Katya

P.S. Today, at church lady prayed for me to have soul-burden for the lost every day, even in the middle of the night. God has permission to do what He wills.

Jesus, help me to not loose heart and not to give up.

Your, Katya

Yesterday during worship on Wednesday Unified, I was prayed for endurance by JT and Claire. Even in my reading, McPherson wrote: "I will not quit, becuase He did not quit." I spoke this words overy myself.

This is a battle for endurance and not to give up.

Lord Jesus, I thank You that You listened to the prayer of your people. I need to endure and not to give up, therefore the spiritual battle or contention is going on right now. I praise You for that! Teach me by Your Divine Holy Spirit.

Love, Katya

prophetic word on November 2

Matt Sorger:
Overcoming Your Goliath: Contending For the Next Level of Breakthrough and Authority

God is about to promote people to their next level of authority, influence and power. There is going to be a great need in the days ahead for godly leadership to lead the Body of Christ. God wants us to know and understand not only how to break through to the next level but also how to sustain the increase He gives. It's one thing to get a breakthrough. It's another thing to keep your breakthrough.

Passing Through the Place of Contention

God is bringing people into a higher realm of authority, but one thing we must be aware of is that this is not coming without a fight. of authority, he haBefore David could receive his royal crown d to first face Goliath. He had already been anointed king, but before he could step into his destiny and into the next level of authority, he had to face Goliath. The increase and promotion was not going to come without a fight.
1 Samuel 17:23-26 Philistine ranks and spoke the same words as before, and David heard him. And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man As they talked, behold, Goliath, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, came forth from the , fled from him, terrified. And the Israelites said, "Have you seen this man who has come out? Surely he has come out to defy Israel; and the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter and make his father's house free (from taxes and service) in Israel." And David said to the men standing by him, "What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
Before you step into the next level God has for you, you will have to face your Goliath head on and take it down. Your next level will not come without a fight. Understand this about your giant: It will speak to you. It will try to intimidate, limit and constrain you from possessing what is yours in God. It will speak to you with words like, "Who do you think you are? You think God has a destiny for you? You think God will ever use you?" The words you hear will be in relation to the area of battle you are facing. "You think you will be free? You think things will change? Things are never going to change. You are going to keep going around this mountain. You are nothing. Just give up and quit!"

A Sustainable Anointing and Breakthrough

Those that will move to a higher realm of authority need to understand that a sustainable anointing and mantle is not possible without testing and trial. Anointing without testing is not sustainable. God doesn't want to just give us a temporary anointing or a momentary breakthrough. He wants us to be able to sustain it. The sustainability factor is crucial in this hour. We must contend for increase and sustain it.
Before promotion, you must walk through a place of contention. You must contend with your giant and gain victory over it before the anointing is released to manifest in a greater measure of authority. God anointed what was tested in David's life.
1 Samuel 17:36-39 "Your servant killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God!" David said, "The Lord Who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the Lord be with you!" Then Saul clothed David with his armor; he put a bronze helmet on his head and clothed him with a coat of mail. And David girded his sword over his armor. Then he tried to go, but could not, for he was not used to it. And David said to Saul, "I cannot go with these, for I am not used to them." And David took them off.

God anoints what's been tested in your life. God anointed David's sling shot, not Saul's armor. David couldn't win the battle in Saul's armor. It hadn't been tested in his life. David wrestled the lion and the bear. He had used his sling and stone out in the wilderness. God anointed what had been tested.
Promotion will come out of your testings and battles. Smaller battles will make you skillful in winning larger battles. Get happy! Because the areas of your greatest testings are about to become the areas of your greatest anointing! The very assignments the adversary had against your life are about to be turned around against him. God is going to release the deepest anointing and glory where you have had the deepest level of warfare and contending.
As Isaac was entering into his land of inheritance in Genesis 26, we see that his land started in a place of barrenness. As he planted and sowed seed in that land, he became very prosperous and fruitful. God accelerated his harvest and in the same year reaped one hundred fold. But God still had more increase for him.
The Philistines envied him and began to bury the wells of Abraham. In order for Isaac to break through to a higher level of fruitfulness in his inheritance, he had to contend with the Philistines. As he dug wells, the first one was called Esek, meaning contention. The next well was called Sitnah meaning enmity. The third well was called Rehoboth meaning room. As Isaac persevered and endured, God made room for him to be fruitful in the land.
The key for Isaac's breakthrough was endurance. As we endure through a place of contention, God will make room for us and will cause us to be fruitful in our land of inheritance. Increase and promotion are coming, but not without a fight. In order to win this battle we must endure to the end.

We are in a time where many are facing their Goliaths. They are in a time of spiritual pressure and resistance. Depending on what they do in this battle will determine their next season. Either they will sustain what God has given them and experience an increase or they could lose what has been entrusted to them.
Usually the greatest fight is right before the greatest breakthrough. This is usually when people give up. They are right on the edge of moving to the next level when they get weary and tired. As long as you refuse to give up, God will make sure you excel to your next level of inheritance. So get happy when you see spiritual contention in your life! It means you are on the verge of breakthrough and promotion. But we have to make the right choices and pray through to victory.

Prayer
Wait on the Lord and allow Him to break you through every area of battle in your life. Pray the Word. Spend time in worship. Make godly choices and purge all sin and compromise out of your life. Pray this prayer with me.
Lord, I submit and surrender every area of my life to You. I make the choice to live in a way that pleases You. Forgive me of all my sin and transgression. Show me any areas of my life that have grieved You. Release a godly sorrow and brokenness in my heart. May I care most about what You feel. Give me the strength to endure and the godly brokenness I need to sustain Your increase in my life. Lord, may the adversary have nothing in me. In Jesus' name, I take authority over every Goliath in my life that is trying to intimidate me and hold me back. I command it to come down now in Jesus' name. Amen.
Matt Sorger

dream

Prophetic word for Anderson: dig the wells of salvation and revival.
(2 thousand souls saved)

Strange dream tonight:

It started out in my room (here in Anderson, America). A teenage boy standing by the window said, "I do not want the spirit of salvation here." Because he said that in my room, I spoke, "Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again on the third day." (I was intentionally telling the Gospel). Then he was sitting in front of me and I saw a vision (in the spirit) of a white hand reaching toward me. I interpreted in the dream as this person is open for the Gospel, so I prayed with him.

Second part of the dream took place in my stepfather's house, in the living room. There was a guy (who looked attractive and reminded me of Nick). He was very affectionate toward me. Then I told him, "I am engaged and I love him." The boy showed signs of regret to hear that and he laid on the couch thinking how to win me. Then my mother and my sister came to the room. He openly stated of his attention to marry me (my sister was in favor of that). We were sitting (me and him on my left, Iana in the opposite) and my mom took the anointing oil and put it upon our hands and feet. We were barefoot, but he had nice black shoes that he did not want to take off. I provided three kinds of soft shoes.

Third part of the dream took place in his house. It was a little bit dim and reminded a foreing cave. He was standing by the stove, trying to fix rice. But the stove would be getting on fire. SO I came closer and with my help we were able to put down the fire and then I ordered to bring water and pan, the rice was cooking normally. Then we were in his living room, he was standing with his back toward me and being very busy with something. He mentioned that he has good job from his father an dhas good money. (I thought it was good). He turned and spoke about our engagement. He said that he wants to take me to Africa to do BIble study there in their language. I was totally happy and excited to hear that. My thoughts run at that moment: Sam does the opera but this guy wants to do Bible studies in Africa. Then he said, "Talk to Chester and aks him how to say "Hi. How are you in Italian." Chester is Sam's younger brother who is Italian. That guy also mentioned about the border between Stockholm and another place with a strange language. Then, I saw huge denosaurs outside the house. I said, "I am afraid." I was running to another room , but the unseen monsters were grabbing me. I heard the boy's voice, "Try to be calm. Don't move." I obeyed and they stilled their motions except one. I felt and unpleasant lick by monster. As I was laying there feeling this awful touch, I believed that the boy will resque me and he did. I woke up!


Dear Lord, Shelly thought it was a warning dream. Holy SPirit guide me not only in interpretation but also in prevention of the enemy strategy against me or Sam.
Blessings,

word from the Lord

Katya, I have put so much into you, it needs perfection and maturity on your part. My seeds have been choked by worry and leisure time. Take up the time to study My Law, My Grace, My Obedience. I will make your shoes walk in total freedom of My Spirit. I may close the well for a season, but do not get weary, there is a true well of life. His name is Jesus, drink from Him and you will not be thirsty.
Bless you, My child.

Scriptures:Galatians5:3-4, Romans 6:14, 5:20-21, Deuteronomy 27:10, 1 Samuel 15:22, 1 Peter 1:14, Romans 6:15-17

wedding preparations are moving forward

The Lord blessed us with preparations for the wedding!

Sam made SAVE THE DATES and printed 20 of them, less than $20.00

We have a friend George who agreed to be DJ at our wedding for $25.00.

Cindy Crume will be responsible for getting flowers for the tables. I need to give her details and money of course (plan to spend $50.00).

MEET THE NEED

Praise God for the wonderful weekend! Yesterday I mostly stayed home, did some cleaning, cooking and spending time with Patience.

Today, I feel energy to prepare for the time with Samuel! It is my joy to plan activities and ideas so that Samushka will feel totally loved!



Here is the thought that is on my heart: IS THERE A NEED?

WHAT CAN I/WE DO TO MEET THAT NEED!

Isaiah 58: 10-11 says,

...Spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppresses...

then... the Lord will satisfy your needs...

PHILLIPIANS 4:16,19

You sent me aid again and again when I was in need.

....And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

My mom had a vision of me this morning: I lifted my hands, joined them like holding a candle and then started spinning in a dance. She thought that it almost lifted me up.

Great time of ministry!

Warfare, spiritual battle

Joy and praise

Desire to study

Praise for the paper analysis (50/50)

my momchka will be coming soon in November 4th!

ask, seek and knock

Yesterday, after Dove Harbor, we had a life group meeting at Judy's house. Joel led the worship and the presence of GOD just entered in so strong, that I hardly kept mysel ffrom going on my knees. Tears, adoration, and whispers of prayers were flowing. It was wonderful! The Lord even provided some food afterwords and gave me an opportunity to be a blessing to Sally.

I had a great rest last night even though it was only 6 hours. The Lord was able to give me rest fully! There was a sweet and engaging dream today, but I do not recall it now.

THE Scripture, heavenly breathed is from Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

Spirit gives life

Hello dear readers! I am astonished and amazed at God's work!!!!! This morning He is revealing much more about pleasing the Holy Spirit rather than our sinful nature. He showed through His word that Spirit gives life (John 6:63 and 2 Corinthians 3:6).

Live to please God in the Spirit : read Romans 8:6-8 and Galatians 6:7-8.

God is doing a teaching unto my inner man!!!! How awesome!!!

Park Place

This morning Sam travelled back to Bloomington; I continued to sleep until 9:30 am. The service at Park Place Church starts at 10:30. On my way to church, I found myself pondering: who am I going to church for? Am I going there because of the people or because I want to seek God? It is a hard and honest question. Most likely people played a major role, but I really desired for God to be the reason to go to Park Place Church of God.

This question: Am I a people pleaser or God pleaser? is on my mind for several days. The search for that dilemma is in the present moment.

The service at Park Place was really wonderful, blessed and great! Several times I lifted my hands in worship to Jesus. The song "Sweet, sweet Spirit" reminded of my mother and connected in worship to God. The sermon by David Markle was amazing! He preached from 2 Corinthians 5 about the fact that in Christ God creates new! I felt and heard Jesus Christ being exalted in this morning worship service. I usuallly watch for any indiciation to our Lord Jesus Christ! After the service, for some good reason, I greeted and was welcomed by many people. One person told me thanks for leading worship on Tuesday chapel, another asks about singing at church, and with others we chatted on other great subjects. The people in the congregation did not look strange or distant to me, but rather as a unite of humanity.

When I came home, through listenning to the sermong about whether we walk before God or people, I was in deep reflection about that. Lord, open my heart and ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying to me individually and corporately. Help me to choose to please and walk before You! I repent for any reasons other than to come to worship You in the house of the church.
Blessings to You, Father in heaven and glory!

reserve sanctuary

We need to reserve sanctuary for our wedding on May 28th, 2011. In order to do that, we need to go to Parl Place, fill out some papers and put a downpayment.

this week in Anderson

I am back in Anderson and the Lord restored the joy in my heart! Praise the LORD! With the help of God and four good firned, I led the worship service on Tuesday morning during chappel. We sang, 'Agnes Dei", "Oh Praise Him", "Be Unto Your Name", and Alleluia.

I thank dear JESUS for also meeting pastor from South Africa, his name is Solomon. It was an amazing powerful evening at Jo and Dee's house! We had a great time talking too with Karen, Hellen and Moreblessing. God bless them all!

Last night, Sam and I chatted on the phone, it was great. THank You Lord! He is planning to come for this weekend. Judy Doty and Tim Johnson are going on a trip to Kansas City. Judy wanted me to go with them so much, but I could not :(

Glad and happy in Jesus!

I am in Bloomington with Sam. It was a challenge to be here, honestly. First of all, I did not knwo the rules and hospitality etiquete to engage with the family. But, they were so great, serving with the gift they have, such as cooking. I am thankful for that.

Sammy and I have an awkward silence, maybe due to tiredness.

So, here is my cry heart. Lord, clothe us with Your Son Jesus, with compassion, humility, strength, joy and like that.

We need you!

P.S. I had a dream last night after 4am. In it, I was going through a deliverance with a man from the spirit of abandonment. We have to forgive every family member, and to tell them we love them in our minds. Even thouh it was a man, like foreigner, I feel like it has to do with me feeling weird.

So, if the spirit is attacking me, may Jesus be victorious today and forever.

Katya

save the date

I was blessed today by creating this card. I hope you like it!

A friend of mine, Caroline, said that she would liek to help with the wedding. I need to think what things she could do for us. :) Thank you dear Lord for friends and families who want to be involved in our wedding. Cindy (our international director) said that she would like to help in whatever ways.

smell and taste

About the dreams,
even though I might not understand its meaning, but what interesting is that I had two dreams with an ability to smell and to taste. Both of those were real in the dream.

two dreams

I had interesting dreams tonight and work up at 6: 06 am.

The first one:
Lavender and I were placed in a room to die from inhaling gas.There was a genitor there to monitor everything. It was specious and the gas was not very strong. As we were mentally preparing for our death, I remember my thoughts. I confessed and believed that I want to live so that I could bring more people to the Lord. I felt like it was not enough and not my time to go yet. I believed to be alive after it all (even if it was the most dangerous gas).
We were told that if they found out any alcohol on the screens than the procedure of increased gas will begin. I knew that neither of us had an alcohol but I saw a laptop and its cord was attached to the screen. I pulled that cord and a little smell started appearing. It pussled me and then I found a needle charged with alcohol in it. It was all planned out, so that we will not get out, but
I took that needled and went out of the wooden doors into the main supervisor. Then we all ran away safely outside. There was a metalic tall fense, but I was the first brave one to climb it.

My next dream continued to where I was left. There were like three of us at that moment. We saw sheep but then I saw a black bear. We ran off to save our lives from the hungry bear. Here we were on top of different furniture. The bear was after me and not the others. The bear even said, "well, you should hit me with something by now." So I did throw a bowl on his head. Then when the bear climbed the tallest furnture, I ran down and found a glass door into a small room. There I have hidden myself very secure.

Why? What does it mean?

Actually, I fell asleep again and my third dream continued from the first one, I believe. I ran away from that detention center. There were workers busy doing their job and I knew that if they figure out that I am a normal guy who decided to ran away, they will call on me. So, as a guy I took my shirt off and pretended to be sick, needed a place to threw up. That's how I made my way out of the camp.
On the streets of Russia I tried to find a direction to Leninsky prospect. A lady gave me a direction and I jumped into a bus. The numbers did not look familiar to me. So in the bus I started asking people, but nobody knew. Then I met two young fellows. We became good friends. Togehter we went outside and walked around a temple. ( I thought it was a temple in Ephesus) but it was something else. I woke because I had to run to work, without knowing where it takes me next.

Need for Communion?

I was reading an old letter from my precious Samuel and in it I foudn that he took communion in the evening and the next day he woke up in prayer. I want to be more passionate about Jesus and maybe COMMUNION can foster that hunger and nearness of Jesus in my soul.

Dear Lord,
I hunger for you. I need You. You need us. Please, unite us in cords of love for You, in desperate devotion for Your Son, Father. Please, nurture my soul to cry to You more real and tangible.
I love Jesus and want more of You.
Please, saturate in Your abandunt grace and love. Let me bask in Your light to be revived for Your glory in this world.

Desperately in need of passion for Jesus.
Grow in me like the new seasons approaching us. Blow upon my garden and open up the doors for Jesus arome to penetrate all of me. Please, place Sam also on Your agenda to draw Him into a secret room, where his tears and prayers will create a beautiful garment of praise and glory.
Let us be revived again and again, chooding our allegiance to Jesus above all else.

give thanks for the prayers

2 Corinthians 1:11 "Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many."

I thank many people right now for their genuine prayers on my behalf. Samuel is my dearest companon and friend who spends everyday in pryaer for me. Then , there is my mom and Sam's mom, who are vigilant in prayers for their children.

Thirdly, I have a friend Tireen who mentiones me and my mom in her prayers very often.

There is my Amercan families: Grear and Harrington.

Judy also prays for me a lot. Patience, my roommate, is another prayer intercessor on my behalf.

Of course, the list is much more, and quite often the unknown prayers to me are held in God's book of remembrance.

Are my prayers for people create the praise and thanksgiving on the lips of receipients?

what do I think about Islam?

Hi dear reader,

I am happy that there is an informal place to share my ponderings and thoughts. I have been reading the book by Philip Jenkins called "the Lost History of Christianity" thatled me to the search ...

Today, the missionaries and Christian scholars promote friendship with other religions. Even taking the classes at the semenary gave a positive view on other faiths. However, to my biggest surprize, I've discovered that for Muslims, the number 666 is the holy number, whereas for the Christians it refers to the beast. I think that young minds are deceived in their perception of Islam. However, I do not think that it is healthy to be afraid or to put that faith down. More likely, it is healthy to realize that Jesus is not on friendly terms with Islam, yet his ways are loving toward all people. I think Islam religion is not to be co-friendly with Christian, but we are to pray for ways that God wants to minister to Muslim communities.

The book also showed that in the beginning of Islam (612), Christianity and Islam lived in perfect peace and friendship. However, at some point the Muslims decided to conquer the places and to bring Islam as the main religion. In Christian history we also encounter similar approaches... But the question is will this friendliness with Islam be so forever, or at some point it will come out in utter persecution of Christians. The Bible says that the persecutions for faith will continue.

the greatest example for me right now is Mama Ta. They do prayer meetings for Muslim on Saturday and they serve them in love. I have witnessed their minsitry of love toward Muslims.
God bless our ministers and the people who are in deception. Give them eyes to see the truth of the gospel and emrace the love of God.

Today Samushka is drawing flowers outside with pastel colors. He is going to send it to his mom by mail. Maybe, he will draw somethng for me too.

I am reading somore books that at first are too difficult to understand, but on the other hand, I am thankful that it is a challenge.

Yesterday, we went to the Conference called "Kingdom Now." It was fun!

Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you for the weather outside and for what You have put inside of us. There are multiple treasures because we were made in Your Image. Thank you Lord for giving us this day. I pray that it will glorify You and bring us closer to You. Faithfully and Passionately yours,

God knows the future

Dear readers,

I think it is itneresting that usually we do not know whawt will happen tomorrow. We might have some ideas about what to do: plans and agenda, but the fact remains: only God knows the future before it happened.

Another thought is that God gave the humanity wisdom and understanding to look at the signs and seasons to judge the events and situations. The Lord is interested in us being prepared for the future.

If we realize that the Lord knows the future,

we can pray to Him and ask for direction, guidance, wisdom and knowledge.

AMAZING!!!!

thanks

Dance Our Father in heaven

Sunday,

Today I danced at Park Place on the music and song called "The Lord's Prayer." Joanny was playing ona keyboard, Rhonda sang. Amazingly, at the end of the dance, the white butterfly flew closer to me and touched. Two people told me about that. WOW! God, Father, You are amazing!!!!

Talked to Joyce,
John and Jane,
Uriah...

God bless each one of them.

In Jesus Name

Karen has good news

Thanksgiving for Karen.


For the first time I heard Karen say, " I am thankful that God hears my prayers and answers." She shared a praise report about her son.

She loves to read the Bible and memorize the scriptures. She loves to write and sing worship songs.

She started to pray with me on our knees and voice prayers. She mentioned about her prayers at home by herself.

Goal:
* Continue to disciple her in Word, prayer

* Continue to pray for her renewal of mind

* Teach her to pray more

* Support her in times of anxiety and distrust

* Provide books that will help her spiritual, emotional wellbeing

pray with me

Praise and honor belongs to God!!! I want to thank Him for the recent activites that emerged around me. Tara blessed me with her prayers and conversations on Wednesday evening at her house. Bless her, dear Lord Jesus. May she continue to radiate Your glory and praise, the knowledge of You in every place she goes. Bless dear Phil too. Give him the encouragement and strength in all that he faces today and days to come.

Secondly, may I raise a prayer of thanksgiving for my roommate. The Lord opened a door for reconciliation. The Lord mended the broken pieaces into a wholeness. We praise You, God.

Thirdly, I thank You, dearest Jesus, for touching and restoring the relationship between You and Sam. You continue to give him fresh manna of Your presence. Thank You for your direction, faithfulness and the bountiful presence of Your Spirit upon Sam.

Thank You for the blessing that came upon my life and my family. We are grateful to You for that. Thank you for Iana, You alone give her strength and wisdom to hear from You and follow Your steps.

Dear Jesus, May you help me to be the light and a blessing at Dove Harbor. My mission there is to be a blessing to them. Can we together bring peace, restoration, joy, and healing ot that place? Can your Son, Jesus, shine mighty in that place each new day?
Thank you for the prayers of Clayton, whose birthday we celebrated yesterday. He raised an amazing prayer of thanksgiving. Oh!!!!! Glory to Jesus!


Father, finally, thank you for the dance and the calling to dance. I am submitting myself to the move of Your Spirit. The church needs the glory of Your presence, the awekening of Your love and much more. May the dance and the song on Sunday bring refreshment to the weary and give strength to the weak. We love you. I believe and have hope that You will show Yourself faithful on that day, as we come to worship You.

Thank you dear Jesus, for the holiday and celebration among the Jewish community this week, as they enetered into a new year. May Your peace, blessing rests on each Jew, and even the believers of Christ.

Daddy, here was the long prayer of thanksgiving.
You are worthy!!!! Thank You so much!!!!
We love you.
Please, touch Karen with Your miracle. Help her to see and understand that You love her very much.
Be with Danielle and pursue her into a deeper committed relationship with You, holy Lord.
Blessings upon all male community. May You show them how to be leaders like Christ. May they bring peace, joy and goodness to women across the world.

I believe and praise you Father in heaven inthe name of Jesus.
Amen.

Dear Lord, my Heavenly Father, I come before You.

You are worthy! May my heart truly say "thank you" for what You have done. You are a deliverer! You know us so well and You seek to engage us with You daily.

Thank You Father!!!!!!!

You helped me to forgive Sam and let go of any wrong ill feelings, by putting myself in "his shoes." I realized that he did not have phone, that means nobody could call him. I would feel so sad because of it. However, he found a way to call me. Good job, Sam!

He also shared with me that some physical illness was bothering him for the long time. It has been a concern for my dearest Samuel.

He is coming tonight and will be here until Sunday. Lord, would you help us to honor one another in love and in all that we do, help us to praise You and do good to each other.

Jesus, You are still with me, Right????

I believe that You are!!!

Love you

Yesterday was a day of battle in the spiritual realm. I had two dreams where I had to withstand opposition in Jesus. Today I woke up at 4:30 am with the words spoken outloud: "Jesus is my life and salvation."

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

In te dream, there was a lady who spoke all right Christian things, but I knew in my spirit that there is an evil spirit in her. Finally, I prayed in toungues and she prayed too, but I could understand everything that was spoken. She got up from the table and started fighting me in the spirit. I only spoke the words of life.

Matthew 15:7-9
Isiah was right when he prophesied about you; "These people honor me with thier lips, but their hearts are far from Me. They worship me in vain their teachings are but rules taught by men."

Lord, I need Your presence of the Spirit. Make my life a prayer to You. Amen

Good morning! - Olegenka greeted me with today!

Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.

Acts 3:25-26

I am so excited to be back here in the blogger!!! It is a perfect place to leave your memories, prayers, dreams and much more collected throughtout years.

It is late August in Anderson, Indiana. God has blessed me already and He is enabling to be a blessing to others.
For example, I came to see Tara, Phil and kids. before I left, Tara asked Zack to tell me :" Go be a blessing." So he said that to me, and I said :"Be a blessing to your grandma and grandpa."

I love God.

I also thank Him for the breakthrough in Iana's life. The Spirit of the Living God led her to repentance and the aknowledgement to break a previous soul tie, that hindered her marriage life with Michael. God is doing miracle in her life. THank you, Jesus.

Thanks to friends and my wonderful fiance for the birthday party they did for me. Thank you!!!

Walking in His footsteps

I challenge myself in acknowledging and living in God's footsteps. Somehow, my attention was drawn to the book "In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do?" by Charles Sheldon. Also, the prayer focus at Park Place is Listening for His voice... seeking to walk His footsteps... drawing near to His great heart of love for the people...

God is a serving God. So walking in His footsteps would mean to serve.

God loves the children and all the people. So walking in His footsteps would mean to bless people, to love everybody, to forgive and not to get offended.

Dear Holy Spirit, I know that it is easy for me to be excited about something for a short awhile and soon after to get cold about it or loose sight of its meaning. However, my request to You that You would create a work within me that would unveil the true meaning of walking in His footsteps. Footsteps of faith, love and service.

I was reading USA Today news, and reflecting ont his thought: We need to build more refuge homes. There are many ecents happening around the world, most people lack facilities to live during the transitional time. It will be awesome to see that in America there are houses available for people in great need.

Lord, I pray that You provide houses for people around the world,m so that they can be restored to good health and good living by Your mercy.

Second,
Last semester I did not do my best in the studies. My grades were medium or even low. Lord, would You help me to have better grades this year and accomplish this year with Your strength and help.

Thirdly, I pray blessings on people, for God said that He wants to bless me.

Fourth, To learn and to get to know our God, who has servant heart. God loves to serve.

What shall we do???

The situation arose between S. and Jammy. But it is actually much more serious than what looks. So, we prayed and wait for God to guide us.

SEEK the Lord

Since Sunday (May 2, 2010), The Spirit of the Lor is guiding me in the process of Seeking the Lord.
1) Hebrews 11:6 ...because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. I realized that on my part, I need to come to God, believe in Him, and earnestly seek him (three important verbs).

2) seek with all my heart. (Ps. 119:2, 10).

3) the Book of Haggai. In the context of that book, people forsook to build the Temple of the Lord, and were concerned with their own houses. The Lord desired people to put Him first and to bless them for that.

4) Seek first His kingdom adn his righteousness. (Matthew 6:33).

5) Jeremiah 29:12-14 "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and will bring you back from captivity."

preparations to the wedding began

A year from now, Samuel and Katya will be getting married.

As a matter of face, let me share with you some ideas that we are already having so far:

Bridesmaids dresses: It took us so long to find the right color. Sam and I discussed the options from green and blue. Decorative piece to the bridesmaids will be fans.

Flowergirls: I wish they will have flower head wreaths.

Secondly, we were blessed with free wedding cake, a possible free band, free video footage.

Goals are to make invitations (design and print), to complete a guest list, to reserve Park Place Church, to buy veil and dresses for bridesmaids and flowergirls, to find a caterer (or do it ourselves), to agree on photographer (affordable), to find an apartment for us...

I am planning to sew two pillows for us. They will be white with great inprints.

Expecation to sew

After the exam, the Lord opened an opportunity to go to the Christian center, where my mom was. Interestingly, I desired to go there and the Lord provided. Thank you Jesus.

Secondly, I am excited to sew soon. May the Lord bless the hands and the creativity. The projects are curtain for Tara, pillow for us (Sammy and me), and others.

Love you dear Lord,

thank you!

P.S. Oh, I need to tell you about the coming opportunity for dance ministry in the church. The Lord is able to equip and multiple the resources to glorify His name through dance.

Signs of the End of the Age

Mark 13:5 "Jesus said to them: Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, "I am he,' and will deceive many."
Mark 13:22 "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to decieve the elect- if that were possible."
Matthew 24 :4 "Jesus answered: Watch out that no one decieves you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.'
Matthew 24:10 "At that time many will false prophets will appear and decieve many people. Becuase of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved."
Matthew 24:24 "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect- if that were possible."

Dear Lord, may my eyes see the distinction and discernemnt, because of this warning. I was given a dream last night. There were two men, who looked awful, with scars on their faces. They were performing some sort of healing on people, but people would experience tremendous pain and suffering and then die. Well, he came to my and my sister. He put three fingers on my head, and a finger into my left ear. All the time, he would pray in the name of Jesus.
But when we did not die, my sister and I rejoiced. THe light shone around us and he went away from us. Another doctor came and sat on my right side (as almost looking for protection). The bad person returned. He prayed over somebody infront of me, trying to cast off the evil spirits on my, but from inside, I resisted. Then the bad guy comes to the doctor, he asks my to put my head toward the mind of the bad guy and then toward the ear. I obeyed, yet prayed: "In the name of Jesus, may it be only for good." The bad guy started experiencing convulsions, like a demon-possessed. I was overwhelmed with love toward that person. I took my soft red blanket and tried to cover him, but he refused over and over again. After, I ran from that place outside and woke up.

Matthew 7:15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them."
Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lrd, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

1 John 4:18 "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

1 Peter 4:8 "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."

work

Father,
today I received a compliment from both Jackie and Linda, my two bosses from work. One called me a sweethard and told my mom that she loves me. Another said, "you are a great worker. You take extra mile."
I am so honored, but it is You, Oh Lord.

Love you , Daddy.

Whitout you, I am nothing.
But You are my vine, You help me to grow and bear fruit.

role in opera

Dear Father,

I THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Your blessings flow so big and wonderfully!
Sam received a role for the opera next year. It is a big deal!!!!! Praise the Lord.
We are going to buy a ticket, so I can fly with him on May 23.
God is good and worthy of all praise.

Love,

"What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived-
these things God has prepared for those who love Him."
Romans 2:9

Prayer of thanks

Dear Lord, You are so Worthy and Wonderful.
Jesus, in Your name we are not perished. You are our everlasting strength and goodness.

Father, thank You for yesterday! Your grace brought the money back to the checking account and by Your grace, I was given new things to wear.
Thank You.

Lord, may today's studies will be for Your glory. Help me to accomplish so much, to bear good fruit. Jesus, I want to remain in You. Please, bind me in Yourside.

Be with Samuel and others!

With love,
Katya

Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose."

This scripture is significant due to the circumstances in my life right now. It appeared that someone stole my money from the checking account yesterday, and I was not able to buy a ticket to Russia. It was an enemy work after the amazing spiritual battle that happened the day before. Praise God! I rejoice now, becuase we know that God will work everything for the good, even some situations that were meant for harm.

Today, this morning, after sharing our dreams, my mom and I were led to repentance. Sometimes later Samuel called and asked forgiveness; he shared that the Lord led him to repentance. What a great God!

Thank you Father,
I give You praise for this day. May everything that will happen today will work for the good of Your children. Be with Samuel as he is singing for his audition to opera. Be with my mom, as she is listenning to the word of God on computer. Be with me, as I study Your word and do homework.
Love you.

Yesterday at the prayer/worship meeting. The Lord spoke to me these words:
I am moved by your obedience and desire for the Word. I am with you always. I will show you many things and reveal, I giving you a spiritual vision and discernemnt. I am guiding you, do not be afraid where I am taking you.

Mighty in Battle

So if the Son sets you free,

you will be free indeed.

Thank you Heavenly Father for yesterday. You were so mighty in battle, as we ministered to several people and fought the evil spirits in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Thank you for the Victory in Christ.

Psalm 24:8 "Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty,

The Lord mighty in battle."

1 Corinthians 15:57 "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory

through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Psalm 23:1-3 "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

He leads me beside quiet waters,

He restores my soul."

Insignificant and Ungifted

Dear reader,

I want to guide you through a journey of discovery.
On Sunday, after service, we lifted prayers on behalf of those who feel insignificant, unimportant within the body of Chirst. They feel like they do not have gifts or have no opportunity to plug in what they can.
On Tuesday, I received a phone call from Judy, who wants to get together on Friday to receive some training from those who are gifted in music how to lead IHOP worship. We talked about those who want to be active yet they are not professional and need help of training. It was very exciting to hear. Also, yesterday, the Lord Almighty was gracious and amazing because He let me see ants!!!! Yes, little ants!
The meaning of it is in following:
Ants are very small and look insignificant. However, in the pastery of God, they are the ones to take example. The Lord praises them for their hardwork and wisdom, etc. So, just like those little ants, there are many people who are unseen in our churches. They are so small!!! However, the Lord is changing that. He will make sure those ungifted people, insignificant will be raised up, trained and brought to the active role and ministry in the churches. Amen.
