Yay- travel to Russia!

Dear Friends,

I am so happy! Papa Oleg called and said that my foreign passport and Russian are getting expired, so I need to travel to Russia to renew. Well, he proposed an idea and an invitation for Sam and me travel together suring summer vacation. I am so happy, my spirit is jubilant.

Lord, since this is Your guidance, I am giving You thanks. May You prepare the road for us and help Sam and I to accomplish the trip to Russia. We trust you.

Worship Leader

Dear friends,

Let me share with you my thoughts about worship.

I have been a worship leader two times in two different churches and was a member of a worship team in four churches.

1) Being a worship leader does not mean that you are an outstanding musician necessarily. Rather, your heart does not stop singing and praising God daily.

2) Worship leader is not responsible for everything, he or she can delegate different areas to people in a team. Freedom, creativity, enthusiam, joy and delight are important avenues in worship.

3) Holy Spirit is the only true leader of worship. The Gospel of John says that the true worshipers are in Spirit and truth. We are not to grieve the Holy Spirit and listens to His guidance.

4) If it were possibly, I would change the title 'worship leader' into 'a servant of worship' or something like that. Just like the word "Christian" today means so many things that lost its true meaning, so I believe the word "worship leader."

5) Humility is so crucial to every member of worship team, because "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." We praise the name of the Lord Jesus and give glory to the Father in the Spirit, and it requires humility.

Being on the Rock

I had a dream yesterday that I shared with Sam.

I saw a brown bear, he was going after me. So I ran from it.
It was not that long till I found a rock and started climbing. Finally, I reached the top with some efforts!!! There was a group with me and we were definately secure on the top of the rock. I looked to the side and there was another rock, but it was not steady. The people on it were swang side to side.

Sam and I talked about our relationship being on the steady rock. Praise the Lord, Jesus is our Rock!!!!

Memory

Hello Dear Readers,

I greet you in the name of Jesus.

Let me spend some time remembering facts, events of my life.

I lived in Starokomishinsk, with grandparents in Kopeisk (st. Tomilova 5) and two other apartments. I lived in Chellyabinsk in two places; in St. Petersburg (St. Budapesht) plus liceum; in America I lived in Anderson (dorms Martin, Fair Commons, and Morrison), apartment on East 7 th, house West 6th, Walnut 628 C, and now on East 6th.

It is so great!

I wonder where God will guide me (and Sam) to live in the future.

a thought from academic world

Magazine "The Social Studies"
Article: "Using Children's Literature to Promote Critical Georgaphic Awareness in Elementary Classrooms"

Children's literature has been found to be a powerful tool in both the presentation and understanding of seminal geographical consepts, paticularly for younger students. Using rich children's literature bridges the gap between geographically disparate worlds and provides younger learners with a more insightful understanding of other lives and other experiences.

News and Overview

Praise the Lord!

His Name is Worhty to Be Praised!
It is more than a cliche: God is indeed worthy of praise!

I had a talk with a person from the Physical Plant, who allowed me to move out from the Seminary Village. That is an exciting news, which means that I will be living in a new place starting February. Praise God!!!!!!

Samushka and I are doing great. He is so loving and suportive toward me. He told me of the gifts he purchased for the coming Valentine's Day. His opera is on February 6 and 12. Most likely, Xen, Sarah and I will come on Friday, February 12.

I love learning more about ministry at FGA.

The month of January has been an amazing experience so far: because of the corporate fast among the members of the Church at FGA. Secondly, I decided to study and take notes in such a way, so that I could review all the material for the month of January. It has been a month of struggle against loneliness. This month I spent quality time with Danielly B. This month I experienced intense longing to love the Lord. The Lord has blessed with musicians this month to our church, praise the Lord. It is the first month of 2010 and a new semester.

musical worship

I)Sunday Service: The Worship was so good, it took us way different. After the service the Lord brought many people who were interested musically in worship: Matthew, Tim, A.J., Linda. Priase the Lord. Lisa Hall said today, "The Lord is a gardener. He takes this and that and makes a bouquet." I agree that bouquet of worship and praise for His glory. As always, Phil has been a blessing, today he played violin and improvised musically and singing. It was wonderful. The church as a whole is getting involved with lots of things. Everyone wants to be a part of the service onw way or the other.

2) After the prayer this morning, Phil, Connie adn I had a onversation. It helped me to see that marriage is not that pretty roses. Phil said, "Think of something that annoys you in him. In the marriage it will only get bigger." Connie also shared her life experiences that shows the difficulties of marriage. So, it actually helped me to cool down in my outburst desire for marriage. I want to be married, but marriage is not the pedestal. The life for Jesus and all that He wants is what matters most.

Thanksgiving: Dear Daddy.
I thank You, the Lord Most High, for the wonderful opportunity You gave us today in meeting with You. I hope that Your weight and glory was ministering to all of us. You amaze me in how you bring musicians, I give You glory. You are the author. May all of us together be a pleasing, sweet aroma, so that You enjoy it and reveal Your glory in Jesus Christ. Thank You for the dance team and how You work through them mighty. Thank You for the pastor Clint, his message on budget and finances moved me to think critically. I put $5 into a saving and will try to pay off my debt to school along the way this semester. Father, may this day be all for YOur glory and praise. Please, be with Linda. You see her heart; that she desires to play keyboard for You. Would you make her available and healthy, so that she can come on Sundays to worship Your name in congregation.

Father, You made us so beautiful. I rejoice in that. Blessings on Pastor Shelly, may she rejoice in You. Blessings on Mike, Lisa, Janice, Scot, Barbara and others. Be with A.J. and make him ready for the worship. May the songs of his life bring deliverance and healing to his body. You are our Healer and Comforter. We are never alone, because You are near.

I Love You Lord Jesus.
Praise be to You forever and ever.
Help me to listen to Your voice and be obedient.

Continuing with a story

Remember, I wrote about my concerned heart in relation to Sam.

Well, my silence was a motivational key to Sam, apparently. He called me twice, left a voice mail, message with a picture, a gift on facebook (a rose) and a message on facebook.

It is surprising to me all of that, my heart is still concerned. Don't take me wrong, I love Samushka very much. He is the best of all the men! He is my love! I just wanted to be chased after and attempted to be asked in marriage. It is like in the movie, Danielle and I watched, called "Here comes the groom." This guy was so busy with his work and travels that he unintentionally left this lady in waiting period for such a long time, that she was concerned! She sent him a recording of her intentions either to be pursued into marriage or she will find someone else. The guy was awakened from his slumber. He arranged all he could, but it seemed too late now, she found a man who offered her not only hand in marriage but lots of money. The movie showed that through struggle to win his girl back, they are happily united.

That's a similar feeling and thoughts I have. I am ready to be asked, but all I see is waiting and waiting. That's a great biblical thing to do, but I am a woman. So, here all these concerns.

Lord, I do not want to use You in my own manipulative ways, but I ask Your help to guide us in the relationship and the timing. I have been told by spiritual leaders of my life to get ready for the wedding, to set a date and so forth, which I submitted slowly, but I do not even have the engagement ring. So, thanks for listenning to my story for today and I hope I would learn something positive out of it and will be able to help another lady in her desire to be loved and bewedded.
God bless you!

my concerned heart

Dear Lord,

You know me so well. You rejoice when I live in peace, humility and love. But today, Oh Father, my thoughts toward Sam are tormentng me. I feel like not talking... What's wrong? I think the enemy is doing something, Lord, please help us.

Blessings to you Sam,
I love you dearly. See, I wanted to be married to you so much, but whenever we talk, I feel like it does not cross your mind. It is a conflict from being in a different mindsets. It is good to be in unity and on the same page...
I bless you today. Thank you so much for what you do and who you are. I trust that our love is stronger than death, than demonic attacks, than emotional pain and so forth.

Jeremiah 33:10-11

This is what the Lord says: 'You say about this place, "It is a desolate waste, without men or animals." Yet in the townds of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted, inhabited by neither men nor animals, there will be heard once more the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the Lord, saying,

"Give thanks to the Lord Almighty, for the Lord is good; his love endures forever."

For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,' says the Lord.

Father,

Sam is innocent in my eyes and I do not want to hold anything against him in my expecations and dreams. Please, grant us peace, love and humility. We need you in our midst, without you, we perish in selfishness, frailty and sin.

love you, Lord Jesus.

My goals today

I have definate goals today:

Come to the library with books and notebook.

Spend hours or reading and reflecting.
Read! Read! Read!!!!!

Maybe I should take a test or a quiz of some kind on learning.

reading lost?

Today, the thirdgraders have a problem of not being able to read well. This is a problem of our society. As I reflect on that, I thought of those years back when people did not have tvs and computers (visual stimulus), that is why they devoted their times to reading. It is through books they were able to see visions and dreams. Today, the society is overactive with computers and movies- the visual stuff, that takes away time from reading books. It is even true somewhat in my life today. It is much easier and faster, pleasurable and fun to go on the internet, then to open a book and spend an hour or two reading.

Lord, what would You say and what shall we do?

reflection

It is clearly that there is a difference in the teaching between what I hear at the FGA (Full Gospel Assembly) with the things I learn at the Anderson School of Theology. It is not that I want to be close-minded but that it never occured to me before the substantial differences in what people preach and present. The word "church" now means so many things, that you have to clarify in order to be understood.

I think the class on Christian Mission in a Pluralistic World will be a great effort to exercise those differences and come to a somewhat conclusion or a notch to move forward.

But outside of studying and teaching, in the realm of worship. I am so thankful for the open door to be in ministry with Tim Johnson and his friends of musicians doing IHOP and possibly the services on Sundays. I praise the Lord for that open door. Glory and Praise to our Faithful God.

It will be beneficial to answer this question this semester: How can we say the phrase "Our God" and what it means to different people and communities.

I still hold to the conviction that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. He is a mediator of our salvation and eternal life. Secondly, I believe in our call to worship the Father by One Spirit. All believers are called to praise and worship God the Father and learn in the knowledge of Him.

So, these are my recent thoughts and meditations. It is actually benefical to pour out those ideas in letter, rather than holding them in chaotic form in my mind.

Father, I come to You in the name of Your Son Jesus, Yeshua. I praise You for this wonderous day of Your glory. You provided with a meal and felowship! You opened new doors and I am thankful. Thank you for Sam who sent me letter and heart. May you bless those who decided to bless me today in many ways.
Be with Allison, deliver her from the spirit of rejection (dreamed today). Would you reveal the power of Your love toward her this semester. Bring healing to her relationship with her earthly father and with You. Receive our praises in advance for what You are going to do.

Father, this is personal. I would really like to practice Your presence every day. May the praise toward You be on my lips at school, at home, at church or any other places I go. May it energize those around me to pay attention to You and to glorify Your Holy Name.
Lord, keep us healthy, strong, enregized every week for Your Son's sake. May we be the learners of Your way, the practitioners of Your wisdom and the lovers of You.

I love You, Lord.
My Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

Sunday worship.

Hello dear blog,

I am so amazed at what the Lord has done this Sunday service.

Phil picked me up early and I had lots of time to prepare for worship. However, all songs were so hard to play, they did not flow. Basically I struggled all that morning. Then my faithful friend, Phil came and joined the worshi practice. He is always a great help!!! Well, before the service the Lord gave me two songs to play and sing and they trully blessed the congregation (we had two new people, visitors). Then, God touched the worship outside of my understanding, but all that I could say is that people used flags, and then some went to the altar on their knees, crying "Holy, Holy,Holy". Phil (stading beside me and singing), went on his knees too. My fingers were covered in golden dust and peace, joy and amazement filled my heart. There was a call to accept the Lord Jesus as personal savior an dlots of other good prayers.

So, I am so thankful for the outpouring of His worship on the congragation or His presence in the midst of our worship. For all things, I give Him praise and devotion.

Love you and see you soon.

The things, visions and words that have been given by the Spirit to me

1. repentance & forgiveness, grace
2. worship
3. sow in the fields of evangelism
4. pray
5. smile, rejoice

authority in Christ

Father in heaven,

Thank you so very much for the lessons you are giving to us.
Sam and I will exercise our authority in Christ against any demonic attacks.

We love You Lord, Almighty.

My mom talked me to use the authority in Christ!!!!!

Psalm 144

Psalm 144

Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

O Lord, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him? Man is like a breath; his days are ike a fleeting shadow.

Part your heavens, O Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke. Send forth lightning and scatter the enemies; shoot your arrows and rout them. Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.

I will sing a new song to You, o God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you, to the One who gives victory to kings, who delivers his servant David from the deadly sword.

Deliver me and rescue me from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.

Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace. Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields; our oxen will draw heavy loads. There will be no breching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets.
Blessed are the people whom this is true; blessed are the people whose God is the Lord.

I was so difficult today to Sammy

Heavenly Father, My Lord,

I apologize for the impatience and a difficult mood I am having today.

Things look so strange and upsetting to me almost all day long.

Father, would you take care of me this evening? Maybe my hormones overreacting to something, or I have been attacked by the enemy who works out his schemes against me and Sam.

Yesterday, we had a wonderful powerful experience in the Lord. But today I have been so unloving like a wall from Sammy.

In the name of Jesus,

Please remove from me this awful feeling and all will be well.

Love you and rely on your precious name

Cool

Samushka and I had a wonderful conversation the other day. He shared with me the truth with gentle words. He pointed to the value of the Spirit versus religion. He noticed the lack of joy in churches. But most of all, I was happy that we are on the same page...

We were also attacked with sicknesses since Sunday. But today God borught the healing back to my voice.

Hallelujah,
the Lord reigns.

Plan for 2010

If you want to reach the lost, you need to sow in EVANGELISM.

Sow strategically.

Secondly, pray without ceasing for the lost you encounter.

Rejoice! May the people see the joy of the Lord an ddraw to that river of the healing water of the Spirit.

That's it!

That's the Plan for you for 2010.

You don't have to worry about the churches shift. I have directed your path, my child.
You were my obedient vessel to go and give constant praise to My Name.
Who can say you did a wrong choice? Don't you remember the great thing, a miracle happened when you were accused of not attending classes on Sunday at University, while you at that time were put to be a worship leader. Is that not a war, what is? You were destined to praise Me. I need your vessel all the time. Thank Me and Rejoice in that position. I will help you always. Have you not discovered at thirst hand My mighty power in worship in your weakest hour? Have you not tasted that I loved your song and devotion? My child, keep singing and let Me take care of those accusing words.

I love you,

Your God Almighty,
Forver Faithful,
Amen.

Dear Lord Jesus,

You are so wonderful! Today we celebrated your birthday!!! You know that many of us enjoyed every moment, but some were filled with grief and sorrow. So I pray that You help those who feel lonely and tired.

Jesus, I have amazing things to tell you: You are awesome in that You laid down Your life for us. WIthout You, we would never enter Your kingdom and the life everlasting. So, thank You so much! You are wonderful!

Thank You for the phone call from mother, thank You for minsitering to me through Sammy and much more. We are overcomers with You. You are awesome!!!! How lovely and majestic is Your name!!!

I love you.

Blessings on William Green, Amanda, Mindy, Shannon and the kids.
Father, be with us tomorrow. Provide for our needs and fun! May we all have an awesome time together! Cover us all with Your divine evertrue love. Please, be comfort to uncle Chuck and William. They need You! Today, uncle Chuck asked for prayers several times. So, would You meet Him where he is at, just like the Psalm 139 says that Your spirit can reach us everywhere and You hem us behind and infront.
Dear Jesus, may Your blood be upon us. With love,

Katya. Your daughter, chosen in Christ for great purpose. Father, help us to be used by Your majesty. Please, provide an opportunity to serve You and Your people in love.

Amen

he was looking for...

1. Love the Lord with all her heart; seek Him...


2. Fit him (around the arm pit)


3. Smile


4. Librarian


5. Musical


6. Soft voice


7. Like his dear grandma

That is what Sam was looking in the woman. He found me... I am so thankful!

first snow

Today is the first snow in Anderson this year (2009). It looks beautiful on the ground!!!

Today I need to complete the exegesis paper on Luke, praise the LORD!!!! We are able to do it with God's mighty help! I believe it!

Father, may Your glory cover Samuel today. Guide him and speak to his heart. Open his ears to listen to You. I pray that You will keep his family protected and in complete healing. Father, have mercy on every member of his family. Lord, I pray that You will give us patience and grace to endure the waiting period. May we accomplish all that we need to do during this time. Father, grant Your Spirit in a greater way. Fill us anew, we pray.

Love You dearly, my Heavenly Father. In the precious name of Jesus.

Father, while I have a moment of rest and a break from writing the paper on Luke 1:13-17, let me raise a prayer to Your heaven, where Your Glory dwells. Father, we need you each day. Sometimes we forget to pray and rely on Your mercies, but over and over we are reminded that You are our Lord day by day.

Daddy, I am always surprised how You come in power and anointing during the worship service. Who can see my limitations even before the service starts? Yet, You turn them and use by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Thank You very much. It is not a place for me to glory, but for You to be wroshipped and exalted. You asked me today before the service: "If you are to come to service, what will you expect?" I told him to have worship and opportunity to praise You. Then He said, 'Why do you want to take away that opportunity from these people?" the Lord knew that I felt unprepared, limited in my abiblites to bring praise and worhsip to God and before the church. But, I thought of them, coming to the church to wroship, and my heart was ready to sing and praise the Lord anyway.

I am amazed that He breathed His spirit on worship. Connie went to me afterwords and thanked for the worship. All the glory to God, I know it well. Without him, I am incapable. But God is strong in my weeknesses.

Secondly, I raise a prayer to You, Father, for the Full Gospel Assembly. I ask You to release and send Your angels to our church. Please, revive it in many ways. We need Your fresh touch and anointing to become one and to grow as a body. Father, send Your angles to the congregation to minister. Thank You!!! Please, darw people to the church, especially youth.

Daddy, I thank You for Your love. It is countless and bountiful!!! It is faithful and everlasting!!!
It is worth praising and rejoicing!!!!

I LOVE YOU

Today in my dream I called Sam "my husband." I was a little bit surprised, then corrected myself and said "boyfriend."
Sam said that in his dream the pillows were in my honor.

Sometimes dreams are so hard to understand, but
other times it is great!

I need You

Father, You know everything!!!! How I love You. Thank YOu so much for Your love. You amaze me how faithful You are!!!!

Daddy, today I fast this evening because help me to come into the Spirit. I want to be one with you and be thankful for who You are.

I have been wrong and selfish in many ways. That is why, only You can do something about that through Christ. Have Your way, Daddy!!!!!!!

Father, thank you for speaking and showing Your love over and over. I am not tired of seeing Your love each day. Thank You for the grace and life.

Daddy, please, guide me in homeworks. Let it all be for Your glory. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Jesus, be near!!!!!! Jesus, I need You. You are the One who saves and forgives. I am in need of Your love and compassion.

Daddy, thank you for teaching Your word. Did I love others today as You desired? Forgive me Father, for hardenning heart or any other conditions of my heart that block You from moving. Please, use even this evening as an opportunity to reconcile us to You. "Taste and See that the Lord is good!"

Father, help me to carry Your presence everywhere I go. Please, make level my paths. Choose the road for me. I need YOU, JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

prayer to Jesus

Dear Lord Jesus Christ,

It has been a wonderful day!!!! Even though I have been wrong with certain things in relationship with Elisa: made her uncomfortable wiht my mom being there and Sam staying overnight few times. You made something painful and beautiful this night!!!! I could not describe, I only see the LIGHT of YOUR LOVE FOR US ALL.

Make this day be a testimony to us all that You are good and loving.

Please, remove any scars from our hearts and fill them with supernatural love of God.

I bless you, my sister friend.
May nothing makes you stumble.
Be an overcomer through it all.

In Jesus Sweet and Holy Name.

I forgive all who heard and participated in my relationship with Elisa. May You give us all peace and reconciliation.

It has been such a difficult week, but TODAY You made something glorious. Blessed be Your name.

I received a hundred dollars today.

Forgive me again Lord Jesus. Cover with Your pure and divine Blood, that overcomes an enemy.
THANK YOU!
I rest in Your love for me.

Katya

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you so much for speaking and teaching me throughout a long time. I wish we were able to keep Your words in our hearts, to remember Yur testimonies and to live in accordance with Your word.

Papa, I have to do a major paper for Biblical Foundation for Mission. There are two themes that are so connected, that I would like to write about: God's Faithfulness and His promises. I ask You to give me words and knowledge to write. May it be for Your glory!!!!

Daddy,
LOVE YOU and THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE!!!

thank you for Sam and Olga

I love the Lord Jesus Christ, such a LOVE, ASSURANCE AND FAITH in Him.
He is all that everybody needs. WIthout Him, life is meaningless and empty. He fills the life with true love and knowledge. I love Him dearly.

Thank you Father in heaven, for Samuel L. Green. It is him that You desired to unite and make us friends and lovers in truth. Thank you that yesterday, when the enemy tried to hinder my trust toward Sam, Samuel was so loving and supporting. I thank you for the love that is in his heart. Love you Sammy!!!!

Thank you dear Jesus, for my mom- Olga. There is no better mom like mine. She has been support and love to me and others. Today, I sat on her laps like a baby quietly. She spoke kindly and reassuring to me as well, because the enemy tried to hinder me by accusing of false things. I love you Lord, that You show Your love faithfully through others. May You bless her today in Jesus Name.

Thank you

MY ROOMMATE TALKED TO ME THIS MORNING THAT SHE WILL BE MOVING OUT TO A SINGLE ROOM APARTMENT. SECONDLY, I TALKED TO A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS INTERESTED IN THE BOOKS ABOUT MISSION, SO I AM GOING TO GIVE THEM AWAY TO HER. I AM JUST GOING TO BE OBEDIENT IN GIVING THINGS AWAY SO THAT I COULD BE READY TO MOVE WHENEVER THE LORD WANTS.

Сегодня Мне, Отцу, хочется говорить с тобой. Я созвал совет праведников и мы решили, что тебе нужно двигаться не широким путем, а узким. Часто мнохие думают, что они могут достичь людей ин огромных масштабах, забывая, всё, что они могут делать это делиться Евангелием, а остальная работа принадлежит Духу, Который всему советник.
Итак, ме решили, что тебя надо отградить от лишнего, чтобы твоя жизнь была посвящена узкой дороге к Господу. Люди будут следовать за тобой, но не так, как за известным лидером, а как за странником с доброй вестью. Там будут люди, которые уже познали узкий путь. Они будут с тобой!
Канал для родов узкий.Река течет узкой из глубины и широты водных озер.Слово, скаанное в двух словах намного драгоценнее, чем сто слов.
Научись жить жизнью в рамках узкой дороги! Тебе не нужны две кровати, три сумки и т.д. Чем меньше ты имеешь, тем лучше для души, иначе душа начинает чувствовать удовольство и позволяет себе все роскошество и избыток.
Ограничивай себя во сне, потому что лучше отдать свой сон ГОсподу, чем пронежиться в постели без бодрствования Духа.
Мне хочестя, чтобы Мой сосуд был совершенен, ко всякому доброму делу приготовлен. Когда люди посмотрют как ты живешь в маленьком избытке, они удивяться той радостью и верой, которые ты будешь преобладать, что многие последуют за тобой, отвергнув избытокй и довольство изобилия.
Я призвал тебя отдавать нуждающему, поэтому ты столько видела подарков в своей жизни. Не останавливайся в даяние! Мне даже не надо говорить что кому отдать, пусть твое сердве всегда будет готово отдать, лишая саму себя.
Если бы Мои люди жили таким образом, то они были более дружными, радостными и довольными друг другом.Не скудись ни в чем, касаемое даяния. Бог усмотрит твои нужды, тебе не надо волноваться и нести эти нужды. Доверь их первоначально Господу!

forest and flowers

Yesterday the Lord was amazing!!!!

The beginning of the story can go two days ago: I wished that someone would bring me flowers. That evening the Lord Jesus spoke to me saying that He wants to take me to the forest.

Well, yesterday my mom brought lots of flowers!!!! So many that I had an opportunity to leave two flowers in the library, give one to Elisa and still have a great bouequet. Great is our God!!!

Secondly, Samushka called last night sharing the dreams that he had. We were in the forest. There were lightenings of thunder, so he took me to a big tree, then to the house with metal doors. Inside the house, it was very couzy and warm. We laughed and enjoed our time. He made me a bed, Xen was with us lughing and sitting on the couch. But when we were still in the forest Sam cried out to God: "Send your angels! Send Your angels!!!" The lightening struck just 2 feet away from me but I jumped.

Today is a new day: His mercies are new every morning. My mom and I held a fast since last evening. Lord, You are the ruler!!! I worship You! May Your spirit and presence of love indwell the hearts of your people. Father, I pray that TODAY You will show us where my mom will live and we will move her there successfully. Father, may You spend Great time with Your son Sam, teach him Your precious word, may he be an encouragement to others and protect him from evil. love YOU

Praise the LORD! Praise and Honor to His Holy Name!

I rejoice today, because His joy gave me strength! I am no longer overwhelmed with the load of work and responsibilities; I laught at them!!!! God is able and He is my help.


Tomorrow, I need to go on a fast.
The enemy hates the fast, becuase the Christians receive a spiritual wepaon as they do against the devil's work. Two students approached me about fasting together. Until they decide on the day, Lord help me to fast.

Love you Lord!!

I want to spend more time with You and tell you about the love!!!!
It is so awesome to seek You and spend time in Your presence.

Help us to draw nearer to You and seek You with all our hearts and strength!!!!

Indwell us with Your presence.
Thank you so much.
I love you, Lord!!!!

Creative studying and homework. How to do it?

Hello and good afternoon!!!

I really like when the studying of material stimulates the creative work. It is a joy to read an article "Popular Notions of the Missionary Task in a Post-Missionary Era" by Matthew Price, who tries to find an aswer to the question whether missionaries destory or preserve culture. In order to do so, Price looked at three well-known novels of the twentieth century. As I am reading this material, I am fascinating with the sense of discovery, larning something new, and drive for creativity. Praise the Lord.
I wish that all my teaching and learning experiences were like that: filled with information that enhances creativity.

How can a teacher or a professor make his or her class more creative? It is not what book to read, but about connecting the information with an act of creativity. For example, find a song of a specific time period or genre that would depict this theme more clearly... How are theologians portrayed in the movies, books, etc? Find a bibliography of a person (history) that you find similar experience in your life. What an event is it?

We watched the movie "Luther" for Church history and are obligated to write a paper about 95 Thesis. Everyone really enjoyed the movie. But how are we going to write the assignment that will convey the sense of appreaciation, discoveries and interest in what Luther had accmplished by the 95 Thesis? I ask the Holy Spirit to give us, students, a new fresh insight and understaninding, filled with the creative work and patience to bring this paper into a more art work that just an academic paper. (Maybe we could concentrate on the usage of words: intentioanlly, to bring about the certain words and expressions...or maybe we could ask ourselves who else in the history wrote something public that tranformed the culture and the society of that period?)

The discoveries were usually made when a person tried to look on a problem from so many directions and connect the pieces were otherwise seemed unconnectable. So, get excited and prepared to create something really great

May God be with you. May the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and favor for your tasks.

Time has come?

I had an interesting dream. In it, I received a phone call from Sam. He said that time has come (meaning for an engagement). He said it two times. I felt very happy and thought of it in the morning hour. When will it happen? The Lord knows and He will guide Sam in the time that is best. I am just going to dream and wait, trusting the Lord.

LISTEN

James 1:19

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

This is what I wrote during the class: "I just appreciating listenning to people- they are searching hearts, reflective thinkers, relational beings."

reading a lot

Praise the LORD!!!

I believe that Samushka will receive mercy and help in times of need, concerning his academic achievements.

For the last two weeks I have been studying a lot. It is rewarding after some time. Beside the reading of school material, I read Leo Tolstoy' s Confession. It was really awesome to read his journey to faith. Lord, may You use all things for Your glory, including the time spend in reading and studying. Be glorified, Jesus Christ.
There is none like You.

thank you Father

I want to write a letter/ prayer to the Father, the maker of heaven and earth.

Father,
you have been so good to me through all these years. My appreciation and gratitude fall in the areas of multiple lessons and revelations You graciously gave to me. I am thankful for Your love through Jesus Christ. It is through His name I receieved help from the enemy. He rescued me from destruction, fears, accusations and things like that. Father, You also gave me the best boyfriend I could ever have. Thank You so much! Thank you for the love that Jesus put in my heart and a desire to live for the gospel. I have been ignorant for a long time, yet Jesus came to me and started taching His words and Your ways. I love you so much. Thank You that You have been so patient with me. How many times I went astray and turned to a wrong direction, followin gmy ways and desires. But Father, You by Your love and grace, called me back. And now, I want to be more committed to You than ever before. I cvhoose to live for You and Your kingdom. Thank you also for the fact that You are using me as an instrument to touch other people and bring them to You. I love the joy and peace of the Holy spirit in my life. Thank You for bringing me to America because of Your calling in my life. THank you for all those people who prayed, minsitered and loved me.
SO THANK YOU!
To You, Father all the glory and domion today and forevermore.

Blessings to Your name and to Your people.

morning thoughts and deeds

1. I am having a good day: early in the morning Ali brought a book for me. Throught that day I am reading it and making notes.
2. On the sides, during the breaks, I watched Billie Brim about the value of speech over the whole body. (Proverbs 16:24)
3. The Holy Spirit showed me that people will be lovers of themselves. (2 Timothy 3:1-5).

Praise be to God Almighty, who Was and Is and Is to come. Glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Blessings to those who follow the Lord Jesus with whole heart and have not loved their lives. We are to seek God's kingdom and love people.

Love you

dance and fast

Few days back, i prayed to the Father about the dance on November 1. I asked Him to release visions to the church members as soon as we start dancing. I put my faith into the awesome glorious things happening to the church because of the dance. I heard the Holy Spirit say I need to fast for those mighty things to come (and keep it secret).

The reason I am writing about it, because to remember and to expect His glory upon the Park Place Church of God.

lesson

Let me share with you a great experientual lesson:

I am working in the library today. Around 10 am, a male student comes and pickes up a cart to bring the new newspapers and magazines. I ususally do not talk to him or smile, etc. Today, the Holy Spirit said that I need to greet him. Surprisingly, he also asked me how was my break. I asked him too, and so, we had a small conversation.

Around 11 am, I received a text message from a student/ co-worker. She asked if there is anyone who wants to work for her from 12 to 1 pm. Inside of me was no desire to work for her, because many times I substituted for her and she never could do that for me when I needed. But I prayed, telling Jesus abou that. Then the Holy Spirit asked me, "Are you gonna do good only to those who love you?" Immediately, I texted her and told, " I will work for you."

Listen and read this important scripture from Matthew 5:46-48

If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the
tax colletors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you
doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as
your heavenly Father is perfect.

Saturday

Today is Saturday October 17, 2009

I have joy and anticipation for what the Lord is about to do today and tommorow! Do you know that the more God is about to do, the greater of increase of the enemy attacks?

This week I have endured some sickness. (Stand on the faith in complete healing).
Starting last night till today, I encountered some seducing thoughts, that I had to rebuke in the name of Jesus. Brothers and sisters, we are not to give in to the lies of the enemy, hold onto the WORD OF GOD and speak the name of Jesus when they enemy crawls around like a lion.
Sometimes, enemy hides himself as nothing really big and serious, a small lie or deceit. However, do not trust the work of devil, rather expose it!

Arm yourself with prayers, fasting and perseverance.

Enemy will have to flee as we all gather together and support each other with heavenly armor.

I love you all, my dear borhters and sisters in Christ. What a joy that we are called according to God's grace and can spread the ligth of Christ in the darkness of this age.

This night is going to be a night prayer with Judy at the cabins. We held the night prayer a week ago. The Lord put upon my heart two scriptures:
Ephesians 6:18 and Luke 6:12.

God bless you all.
Keep praying for me:)

Wednesday

I found an interesting fact that on Wednesdays I feel spiritual struggle, as if Thursday is the day of God's mighty acts. I could be wrong in my observations, but it is better anyhow to TRUST GOD AND IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.

I LOVE YOU LOVE, MY FAITHFUL GOD.
I PRAY THAT YOUR SUPERNATURAL HAND OF PROTECTION MAY REST UPON ME.
PRAISE AND HONOR TO YOUR HOLY NAME, FATHER.

p.s. Reveal to me concerning Wednesdays. Are my observations correct? What shall I do in order to be prepared and stand in the evil day? Love you, Lord. You are aweseome and above all else.

fight with the evil one

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

I greet you with love of God and in the Holy Spirit.

Let me share with you on experience I had in a dream. It was Wednesday night. I laid down to sleep. I was praying and felt fire upon my feet. Then I heard a word, "This is the Gospel of peace." The Holy Spirit instructed me to walk around campus and pray for every person I see or encounter. Then I fell asleep and in my dream an enemy came. It felt like my body was paralyzed, the light in the apartment could not be turned. In the dream, in the next room, there was Tara with Phil. She was talking on the phone and edified with words, "Faith. Believe. Believe." Since the enemy silenced my mouth to speak the name of Jesus outloud, I was proclaiming Jesus name inside. Then I woke up. Fear still was there, so I opened the Word (praise the Lord) and the peace, joy came over. There came a feeling of Victory! I called Sam and we talked on the phone for two hours. The very next day, I went around campus first singing, then praying for people inwardly applying the Blood of Jesus and the blessings on their lives. That day I shared a Gospel with one student and he prayed to accept Jesus in his heart. WIth another student, intercessor, prayer warrior, we had an assignment to witness the Lord Jesus to two young male students. Praise the Lord.

In the book "Heaven is empty, Hell is full" by Asfaw D. Berhane, I found the similar story:

The next fight with Satan was the longest fight I have ever had with him in my ministry. It happened while I was taking a little nap on my couch. I felt a hand grab my neck and a heaviness come over my body. I tried to get up, but I was pressed harder into the couch. The weight was heavy to the point that I could not breathe. Finally, I managed to raise my arm and push him off of me. It felt as if I was pushing a resistant force of wind. I could see his dark body. At first it see,ed he was winning the fight. I tried to call upon the name of Jesus, but my tongue would not move, like it was frozen. I felt helpless. THen I heard the still small voice saying, "Why don't you call My name in your heart?" When i said "Jesus" in my heart I saw the devil vanish. Throught that faight the Lord taught me that heart-to-heart communication is more effective than verbal.
(p. 79).

Understanding

Today, praise the Lord God Almighty, I am studying and learning!

God is my source of help with that.

He also started to point the importance of undertanding!!!

Paul Anderson-Walsh said, "It is not the text, it is the commentary that counts. Not simply knowing what the Bible says, but understanding what it means."

David prayed for understanding (Read Psalm 119). He meditated on the things the Lord revealed, said or explained to him.

If you are to ask me today what is better memory or understanding, I would reply: understanding!!!!! The Bible does not say, "Get memory, Memorize everything!!!" But it does teaches us to "get wisdom, get understanding." (Read Proverbs, esp. chapters 3 and 4).

Matthew 13:19 and 23

When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it,

the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.

But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who

hears the word and understands it. He produces the crop, yielding

a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.

Praise

A person accepted the Lord Jesus Christ right on the steps of our library. Praise God!!!!

Enemy, you are defeated!!!! But thanks be to God, because He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 15:58.

Just for the record.

God is moving with Great power right now.

He has done a work in my heart to the point that the Heaven and Hell are true realities. He has willed to let me know that I am a burning bush on campus, a leader and a prophet. The Lord enables to have compassion for the lost.

My eyes are more open to see the darkness around the campus in order to pray.
I love the Lord,


Blessed be His Holy Name.

Muslims

The Lord is good and His love endures forever. Amen.

Early in the morning I had two disturbing dreams. They are not from the Lord, yet they protrayed an enemy work against godly people.

In the first dream I was in a waiting position (summer) in a quiet place. Then I observed a big red truck came (strange men inside). for the longest part I did not see him and continued to enjoy my waiting period in the sun. Then from the left turn come another vehicle with more people and their faces looked terrible. I realized they were easy to kill. So here it ws winter and I am running away from them. In my dream I found a safe place that I was heading to (the room in the apartment). I thought that people should lock their doors.

My next dream involved Sam and a young girl. I came to a house to see Sam. I sensed the awful satanic presence in that house. That I did not even want to step in. So told one or two people to tell Sam that I am here to see him. While they left to tell Sam, I was with a young girl. At first she seemed religious, but then I understood some occultic and evil presence in her. So I spoke into her: "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus becuase I wan to speak truth to you." I prayed for her that she would repent. Then she left, but Sam did not come out (I thought maybe those guys tried to kill him).

So, as you could see the dreams were disturbing. Then I realized that today in Washington D.C., there is a Muslim march. They are praying and fasting.

In the name of Jesus, I pray that those people who are captured in their mind by Muslim religion, I pray that you would lead them to repentance today. Lord, may young and old turn their hearts to hear the truth. Father, I pray fr divince protection and refuge upon Your beloved people accross the United States. May peace and righteousness cover this earth.

Seducing spirit in the dream

I have not slept this night (maybe the coffee effect). However, sometimes in the early morning/night I dreamed of me trying to look on the internet sexual content material. I could not find any but there was an evil desire. When I awoke, I immediately prayed, "Holy Spirit, forgive me. I ask the blood of Jesus cover me." I was reminded of the scripture that the pure in heart will see God and I do want to see and be with God. He is awesome! I relaized that it was an enemy attack on me, seducing spirit. Well, before I arose from the bed at 6:30, the Holy Spirit said that I have to be careful, the satan is like a lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter). I read two letters of Peter. Then I came to work and received a note from N. Harrison saying that he is leaving to S. Carolina in October and he wants to talk to me. Of course, I refuzed his invitation to be friends on facebook.

Oh, now I understand.
My dream has to do with computer and seducing spirit. Well, it was a note on Facebook from N.Harrison who has a seducing spirit.

Thank You , Dear Lord for warning me.

Be with me 24/7 by Your lovely Holy Spirit.

Yesterday I talked to Sam on the phone. I shared with him an interesting conversation I had at church. This elderly men asked me, "Where is your husband?" I told him, "My boyfriend is in Indiana University." He continued, "I thought you told me he was your husband."
Well, Sam shared his story too. He said, "The other day I was talking to Jeff (his roommate) and I said, "My fiance."

We were both happy and surprized!!!

God is good.

He plans to come in October.

Psychics versus prophets

Last night I was listenning some teaching by Bill Johnson. He was speaking concerning the psychics versus God's prophets. It was interesting to hear his arguments that God has revelation (future), but psyhics know only knowledge (past and present). The demonds do not know future, but they operate on the soul knowledge of past and present.

I would not write about this unless today in the Herald Bulletin I read the artice "Spirit Festival draws psychics to Chesterfield." Well, pretty incredible. The psychics are popular but I pray that people will be drawn to the wisdom of God, not of men and devils.

There we go...

ASKING

Yesterday (Sept. 18) I made a list of scriptures on ASKING.
Today (Sept 19), Chuck Pierce has a prophetic word on ASKING (Go to www.elijahlist.com)
In addition, Sam sent me a text that was corresponding that prophetic word right in the midst of my reading. "Knock Knock. Who is this? Love you. Studying music history."

So, it is all connected and amazing!
God is good all the time!

Sammy and me

Moreblessing asked me how is Sam. She was wondering when was the last time we saw each other. I told her that it was just lst Sunday (three days ago). She was really happy about that. I told her I cried a lot when we were togehter. She asked me, "What did he do?" I said, "He kissed my teary eyes. Oh, Sam is sweet!"
Then she said, "You shoudl get marry! I want to come to your wedding." I said, "You do?" She answered, "I want to give you the gift DVD "Marriage by Design." Then Moreblessing encouraged that we should speak by faith about marriage, our future husband. Oh, it was so sweet to hear that! Now, I just recieved a message from my Samushka: "I will pray. Good to hear about your day. Mine went well. I got a few things done. paid my rent. I love you. Enjoy your evening too my darling."

This is how sweet our Lord Jesus! Thank You Daddy for Sammy and our relationship! Your goodness speaks better than words, becuase we see Your hands and love each day.

Yours faithfully,
Katya

Let me update you on what's happening now.

Lots of challenges with accusation, separation, abandonment and so forth. Even the enemy used me to create a disturbance in the relationships. It has been challengening, just as I said.

On the other hand, the Spirit of God is present and He is working mightily. Praise the Lord. He is teaching to trust the Lord and not to rely on the people for favor and acceptance.

Thirdly, my mom returned from the trip to the Ukraine. Papa Oleg said that she is sick right now. I know that my mom will fight that disease in the name of Jesus Christ and it will be gone!!!! The enemy will have no place! He may try to create some circumstances, but just like Paul she will learn to be content and persevere. I am with her and love her. Bless you , my dear mother. We will pray for you.

I thought of sending her a package without even knowing what she is experiencing right now. May the Lord give wisdom and knowledge what to send that will be a blessing to her spirit, soul and mind. May Your love surround her every moment. No accusations!!!!!! Just love at all times.

I pray for the studies to grow and learn as much as I can. Lord, enable your servant to be successful in the studies at Seminary.

Yours Jesus,

Katya

Hallelujah, the Lord is worthy!

He has been showing so much of His love. The intimacy with Him is sweeter than honey or other delicious things. Yesterday on Sunday 13, I went to see Sam at Bloomington. We spent at least 2 hours together. There was also our first time of worship at Full Gospel Assembly.

This week I hope to be indwelled by the SPIRIT of God. May the Spirit be my Strengthener, Counselor, Comforter, Guide, etc. Come, Holy Spirit in a new fresh way. May You increase and I decrease. Love you wholly and submissively

Psalm 91

Thank You Father,

Even though it is a blogger, but I come to You through the writing. Lord, may Your rest cover me tonight. I thought that my prayers and words to Elisa were a blessing, yet she left the apartment. Lord, I feel some guilt, but why???? Father, I choose to rest in You and trust that You will deal with us and bring the peace to our house and our relationship.

In the blood of Jesus, cover us.
In Your name, heal us.

Forgive my wrongdoings and shortcomings. If I sinned in any way, have mercy.


Cover me, daddy with Your protection. Becuase the enemy wants to rob my joy and peace. Father, I want to abide in Your shelter. Daddy, You are mighty and powerful! your ways are true and righteous! You are good! You are beloved!!! you love us so much!!!! I do love Elisa with my heart and am thankful for her presence.

Comfort and strengthen your servant in Jesus' mighty name.

Blessings.
I choose to rest in You today.

Daddy, You reign and I will just abide under Your wings. You reign, Oh Lord above my enemies and foes. Display Your kindess, mercy and greatness.

Who is there like You? you deserve praise and honor.

Daddy, thank you and in faith I confess and believe that you will be with me.
Your right hand upholds mine. Your word is my shield. remember, it is Your shield is faithfulness. "His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart" (Psalm 91:4)
Rampart is a broad elevation raised as a fortification.

I already started to feel Your strength, Lord. The enemy will be silent by Your presence. Satan, You are defeated foe because of Christ's victory!!!! Halleluja!


I Love You Lord,
Mighty God.

Psalm 27

Priase God! There has been a lot of things, activities that happened during these time!

A wonderful dream of Angelic visiation and a warfare with a thief.
A delivery or encounter with Robin (Earth Ten commandments).
An invitation about singing at church. The following prayers and finding the team.

I am amazed at the glorious Lord and His ways.
I am thankful for the worship team that is raising up right now. May the Spirit of God be upon each of us. May we be used for God's purposes and at His time.

With Love,
Katya.

PSALM 27!!!!

Rivers of living water

Last night (after drinking strong coffee around 9 pm) you can imagine how awake I was!!!! I could not got asleep until 3 30 in the morning. But Sometimes after 11 pm, the Holy Spirit spoke this scripture to my heart. And it got me thinking and searching for understanding.

John 7:37-39
Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as[a] the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.

You know I always thought that it spoke of the words of the Spirit coming out of the believers, but last night I stepped into an understanding that it could also mean the gifts of the Spirit (that ministers to other people).

But what amazing is that today on Elijahlist.com, there is an article called
"Wisdom and a Fresh Anointing of the Holy Spirit for New Seasons and New Beginnings" by Keith Miller.

He says,
A River of Wisdom is different. When I say a River, I'm talking about the perpetual flow of the Holy Spirit in the area of wisdom. O dear friends, how we need this now. My heart is to see God's precious people living out of the deepest part of the blessing of the Lord...to flow with all that He is in you. As you read this article, ask Him to fill you with all wisdom and understanding, for His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.
The Bible in John 7:37-38 declares that out of your heart or belly will flow rivers of living water! Notice it declares rivers of living water. One of those rivers is the River of Wisdom! Let the River of Wisdom flow!

How cool is that!!!

As I am reflecting on the last dreams that I had- majority of them were filled with running from bad people, killing and hurting others. Especially today, there was a cruel man who killed every one (from child to women). I was hiding in the clean waters of a sea or an ocean. He was looking for me. Then I escaped somehow.

Despite the dreams being so disturbing,

tomorrow I would like to have a communion and use the name of Jesus! It is in HIs name and in the power of His blood that I need protection, covering and refuge.

Beautitudes and mnemonics

August 28, 2009= 24 years old!!!!

I discovered by the grace of God, of course, the wonderful website: www.thepsychfiles.com and based on the learned information, I memorized the Beatitudes using mnemonics.

(Matthew 5:3-10)
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted,
because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

P.S. I used the imagery association beweet spirits flying in heaven, but those who are ont he earth they mourn. But they are comforted by the meek, because meek are the missionaries who inherit the earth. I thought of animals because they hunger and thirst, they are filled by the merciful. Then I pictured the sequence of see and then do. (pure in heart see God and peacemakers). The persecuted are the sect that Orthodox calls Protestants, even though protestants are right.

That's really cool! ENJOY!
Thanks Michael for his great website.

Is God happy about me?

Another thought I had in prayer is that God is joyful and happy about us.

There are so many (including me) who think of God as sad and often angry. But, last night, I glimpsed on the reality that God rejoyces when we do something good, actions that gloriftying Him.

Is God happy?
Is God sad?
Is God angry?
What do you think?

To be One

Last night around 9 pm I went to pray. One moment I heard the Lord, "What is one thing you want me to do for you?" Immediately, I cried out from my inmost being- to be one with Judy's community. I wanted to be one with them because I love each of them. It is ok with me to be humbly among them just like they are. Well, then the Lord pointed out that Jesus asked the same thing in John 17.

Even before that I read from Micah 4:6-7

"I will gather the lame, and assamble the outcast, and her whom I have afflicted.
And I will make the lame a remnant; and the sick, a strong nation..."

John 17:9,12,21, 23.

I have a request to make for them. I make no request for the world, but only for those whom you have given me, for they are yours-...so that they may be one just as we are.

Let them all be one. Just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am with you, let them be in union with us.... so that they may be one just as we are, I in union with them and you with me, so that they may be perfectly united.

Trip to Russia? When?

Dear God,

I come before you this afternoon, saying "THANK YOU" for sending Hellen to talk to me. She spoke of the wisdom concerning the trip to Russia. She advised to wait, get married and after some months, go to Russia with Sam. For me to go after one year is not safe, because there is uncertainty with visa. So, Lord, I do come before You repenting, first of all, that I put it so high like it had to be done the eay I want. Secondly, I say, Lord, be Thy Way and In your Time. May You also give wisdom to Sam that our trip to Russia will be both good and best for both of us.


Katya
P.S. Joyce Meyer spoke on the issue of wanting something that we cannot imagine living without it. It is a lust. God gives freely His blessings and He is the one who opens the doors and the ways for His righteous people.

Orientation

Today was the first day of orientation for the incoming students at Anderson School of Theology. MaryAnn, Xen, Timmy, Nick and I led the worship this morning. I read a scripture from Acts 2: 17-19, 21. I would like to write down some notes I took during President James Edwards's speech.

We begin with the end in mind.

Lord will equip us with the resurrected power.

Choseness- pay the price day after day.

Blessed choseness by commitment.

Are you willing to go? Do you love Jesus?

You must protect choseness.

Consider that what is difficult.

photography

For work assignment I watched two documentary videos.

Here are the quotes I liked:

Photography - a front seat history

Still picture in front of you all the time

I woke this Monday morning and then I hear how the Holy Spirit calls me a virgin. He insturcted me to identify myself with a virgin. It is indeed so surprizing and it would not come to me on my own. I am happy to know that God desires to restore and ffinds a significance in a state of virginity for His purposes.

I also gave/ hid my Bible for one week. it is great, becuase then I will rediscover His word and will read with passion and greater understanding.

That's it for right now.

praise the Lord and lead not on your own understanding,
trust in the Lord at all times. He is reater than our thoughts and ways, He is above all.

Holy Spirit

I woke up this morning with a prayer on my lips:

Annoint me with the Holy Spirit.

Throughout the day I thought about the Holy Spirit. At lunch hour, I said a prayer before the meal and when I uttered the words: Fill me with the Holy Spirit I felt a strong presence of the Lord.

And now as I sit in the library working on the project and listenning to TD. Jakes "Sacred Love Songs", I prayed: Let me think about You, Holy Spirit.

Father, Thank You for Your gift of the Holy Spirit. Help me to be filled and to overflow with His presence. Today Lord, extend Your hand and grant the Presence of the Holy Spirit into my life.

Renew and refresh through the annoing of the Holy Spirit.

Amen

Reflect

I just want to write the things I percieved when Tara prayed for me on Sunday.

Jesus held the jar with oil and He let me drink from it. It was the balm of Gilead, anointing oil.

Then I saw that I used to threw the robe to another person (as if sharing the gospel) but then I threw the robe after their held it. But the Father instructed me to hold their hands, just as He holds mine all the time.

I don't fully remeber but there was the moment when my fingers were given teh poer to do miracles. I was surprized and decided to study it more and believe too. How can miracles be through me? The work of God can !!!!!

Goals to accomplish

Work... Linda talked to me about the need and importance of taking driving license.

Lord, this is the goals I need to accomplish:
driving license
renew my passport and visa.

Love You, Lord.

Healing and Deliverance

Hello,

on Sunday Sam and I went to the Full Gospel Assembly for an evening service.

The preacher spoke on the word of God. The Lord reminded Sam two dreams/visions that he had before. There was also a time of praying where Sam prayed for me and I prayed for the vision and that there would be no evil, bitter root in me.

As we were driving back, Sam shared a powerful message of the vision. He was protecting a girl and thus batteling four demons. One demon stacked him with a knife on a back, but Sam overcomed them all anyway.

We stopped by Phil and Tara. There we had communion. Wonderful time! Shared visions, dreams. I told them about the physical state I was in lately and then we prayed. That night the Lord delivered me from four demons: spirit of abandonment, fear, control and idolatry. It was a battle. Tara kept saying a" Complete Work in Christ". The strongest root was idolatry related to the Koran and the prayers over me with those words. Then there was an outburst of a longing for the word of God.

All for the Word of God!!!!!!!! We stayed talking till the morning hours.

It was a healing.

However, on Monday Sam and I encountered some struggle. I felt like something I was supposed to do was not done and we overstepped our boundaries. WE also had a time of converstaions!!! I shared with him about Son Gun and Nick. He held me like a baby and gave his love in return.

But, the point is that there is a task- to be filled with the word of God and to withstand and overcome any attempt of the enemy to return or bring over spirits.The Goliath is dead!!!!! The root is taking out, the Lord You fill it with Your divine , precisous Word.

Prayer + Vision

Yesterday was a good day. I worked in the library, then helped Xen to water flowers, then Judy called and we went to have free dinner. After that we went to the Mall, prayed a little and Judy received a gift. We met Jamy and Phil there and agreed to meet at my place for prayer.

We started out so dry. Just in obedience and perseverance continued praying. At one moment Jamy and I began praying in toungues and then I saw a vision.

I felt the emotions of a person who looked on a vast desert. There was such desperation, hopelesnes, despair...I knew that the Lord's presence was there but the person whom I felt did not know that. Then in tears I continued pray in tongues. I shared that with people.

Then there was a continuation.

I saw from above a procession of people through the desert. There were dressed in white and glorious clothes; that immediately got me thinking their clothes are not for the desert. They had joy and in unity they walked through that desert. That person whom I felt at first was surprised and had lots of questions. The people who walked : in front I saw a woman dressed in white dress. I shared that vision with people.

We read Isaiah 35 and Isaiah 40.

Prayer Walk and International Prayer

Dear Heavenly Lord, How Awesome and Amazing You are.

Today we did a prayer walk in Jakson Park (a Black community). There we prayed for young boys (10 and 11 years old), saw a sign of a T-shirt that represented Holy Spirit, Hands in Prayer and the Chains/ Shakels loosed from them. The whole trip was wonderful; Jamy visited his dad and other friends; I spent time with Klayton (Karen's boy), etc. As soon as we came back, Moreblessing and I met for prayer. It was our first prayer on Thursday at 8 pm. It was so great: His presence was there!!!! We cried, thanked Him, repented, read the Word about giving even in our extreme poverty (2 Corinthians 8 and Mark 12: 41). Glory to God for His wonderful works.

Lord, I Long to see more of You and dwell and move with Your Spirit. May Your word fill us richly. Bring all of us together in love and in persistancy for Your gospel.

Love You, Lord Jesus, Father and the Holy Spirit

Dear Lord, Most High!
Let me exalt Your Holy Name and Worship You! Thank You so mcuh that You rebuked and discipline Sam and me. We have sinned against You , O Lord, with the evil seed of sexual immorality. Now, I repent and search for the Fear of the Lord. You Alone were able to impart the truth and the fear of the Lor din our hearts. Let me give You thanks for that! Your discipline always brings joy and holiness afterwards, even though we mourn and grieve in the process.

Father, have mercy to us and help us to accomplish Your purposes, in Jesus Name.
Father, rebuke the poverty mentality and shortcomings in our lives, help us to live in You and with You totally in faith and trust, love and surrender.

I pray blessings on Your people. May they share Your holiness and glory as they live each new day. Father, gather us together as Your Bride. Be glorified.

Arrange this afternoon and evening so that my heart will draw near to You and You come near to me. I pray this in Your name,

Amen.

Hello Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I greet you with the Joyful and Mighty name of Jesus!

Yesterday, Sam and I cleaned the apartment and in the evening invited Xen to pray. The Lord spoke to Sam that the living room was meant for God's purposes and not his. Therefore, that living room was for the prayer and the fellowship with Christians.

We read 2 Chronicles 6 and 7.

Today, in the morning, we invited Xen again for the breakfast. After that, both of us took and hour nap. Sam had a dream within a dream. Two boys: singing and fishing/stones. Sam came to that and asked, "What are you doing?" they replied, "having fun." Then Sam asked for the piece and paper to write the word. Then he woke up in the dream and shared the word with friends around the table. He held the book with his things in there. The words were: "About creations, fields, clay... I will make you a disciple of many nations. I will take you to the f.... land (an adjective that portrays poverty and hunger). " It was awesome. Then Sam returned to his dream and saw those two boys. They told him that they remembered him. Then Sam sand a tune to the African- American boy, and that fellow replied, "Wow. You can sing! And I see RED in you." Sam knew exactly what "red" meant: Jesus' sacrifice.

For me personally,

I am studying and meditating about sacrifice and love. God has been so powerful and mighty before my very eyes. His presence is very strong. For example, we were going to the Pay Less yesterday (July 29, 2009). sam put a worship CD, and I prayed inside. I felt that Jesus was in me and looking to the streets. The scripture, "It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me." galatians 2:20. The Lord's presence filled the car, that Sam was shaking and shouting, I was in tears. Then, I felt a gentle thought: that Jesus desires to bring His presence to all nations. I knew that moment that as we go in the store, Jesus will walk among us and do His miracles.

I told Sam that he needs to take care of food and I will walk and pray. Mostly, my prayers were in tongues. I also helped Sam to choose the products. And standing in the line, Sam asked me to return the cart. I told him, "I will meet you on the other side. We will meet on the other side. Then I spoke louder: Jesus and disciples." The person standing behind us was surprised. Then coming to the pay area on the other side, Sam and I became very silly like children. The lady said, "You are having too much fun." Well, I told her, "You can join." She smiled and joined the game of throwing the ball. people were gathered at that place and everybody was smiling and rejoycing. The Lord has done great things.

Praise His holy name.

Пост

Hello dear borthers and sisters,

Yesterday I was rebuked by th eman of God right from the stage. THe voice of the Lord spoke, "I know that there is a person who sang, worshipped, danced, even shed tears. But after today, they will go and be intimate with somebodyt they are not married." I knew it was me! Of course, I need to chagng it, so I declared the fast.

The next day, there was an afternoon time when I had a craving for sexual intimacy. It was difficult.

But I continued to fast because I know that fasting reveals what is hidded sin inside of us.
Praise God for this supernatural grace of fasting and His power of the Spirit.

• Secondly, in my study on the fasting, I prayed to God, "Lord, I always used only one item when fasted according to Isaiah 58, but Lord I pray that all the items will be fullfilled through this fast. In faith, He responded to me through Mike Bickle who said, that "WE ourselves actually determine some of the measure of spiritual blessing He will give us, as well as some of the measure of our greatness in the age to come. Believing for too small a measure will lead to just that.
  What will we claim as our inheritance? Mark 4:24 Consider carefully what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you- and even more. WHoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him."

Now I stand on this promise that every item from Isaiah 58, will be fullfileed through this fast.

1)to loosen the bonds of wickedness

2) undo heavy burdens in the lives of others

3) set oppressed free as we minister by the anointing of the Spirit

4) break every yoke of the religious spirit

5) give bread to the hungry and provide the poor with housing

6)revelation of God's word

7) emotional and physical health to speedily spring forth

8) righteousness breaks forth in the places we struggle

9) cause the glory and power of the Lord to operate in our ministries.

elderly in China

China:

I just read an article " Gone, And Forgotten" about an elederly woman who died in her apartment and was found later by a plummer. It made me to think that caring for the elderly is crucial. If I were to be in China, we need to help the elderly generation there, makin gsure they are cared, recognized, supported and not lonely.
