The renewal

Praise be to our God Almighty, the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

Will I fin words to describe all that transpired in two years since my last comment in this blog?
We have a new baby! She is a princess and I love her gentle spirit and loving eyes and smile! Thanks to God!

Simon found friends in the church that he loves and often prays for them!

As for me and Sam, we found a total renewal in our lives. The Lord brought us back to the cabin, and gave a more clear vision of our destiny and calling. We feel happy, invigorated and thankful to be where we are in the Lord.

So, let us continue to grow in the Lord, to seek His face, to follow His Spirit and love each other more and more.

God teaches us humility

 Last night, clearly, I heard this phrase: "God taught Moses humility"
Today, in our school of ministry we were talking about teaching and learning. But also, I ran into some challenges due to the pride of my heart.

Phil. 2:1-8
Main points:
Jesus, being in the nature God, did not sought that equality to be recognized. Instead, he humbled himself to the status of a servant all the days of his life.

WOW
Pray for God to change our attitudes to become servants and not seek equality with others.

"YOUR ATTITUDE SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THAT OF CHRIST JESUS: WHO, BEING IN VERY NATURE GOD, DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY WITH GOD SOMETHING TO BE GRASPED, BUT MADE HIMSELF NOTHING, TAKING THE VERY NATURE OF A SERVANT, BEING MADE IN HUMAN LIKENESS. AND BEING FOUND IN APPEARANCE AS A MAN, HE HUMBELED HIMSELF AND BECAME OBEDIENT TO DEATH- EVEN DEATH ON A CROSS!"- Philippians 2:5-8

I believe that God desires to teach me to become humble. It is not an accident that certain situations caused me pain and desire to be recognized. However, I now know that God will do His part in teaching, but I will make a choice to humble myself and put on the attitude of Christ.

Thank You, dear Holy Spirit. Thanks to my husband too, for his merciful and loving heart.

love covers sins

Proverbs 10:12 "Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs."

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

James 5:19-20 " My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back ,remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins."

I thank my heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ for the redemption! My mom and I reconciled our past wrongs! It is so wonderful!!!!
YAY!

March 3 a begining of a new things indeed

  Hello dear brothers and sisters!
It is vulnerable to know that some of our history that is still written here on earth may show and reveal or sinfulness and brokenness; but in heaven, for the believers, God removes those past failures by the blood of the Lord!

We are at NLCH, lots of great things happened. The whole month of February we were diligently involved in the church: music, mission conference, Kayros cours etc.

On March 1, Mike came and brought pizza. He anointed us and prayed over, shared lots of great things. In the prayer, under the covering, I saw an angel who spoke "SAINT" to me. It really blessed me. We wept too.

Lots of wonderful things. Well, last night, we prayed a lot and interceded for different people and situations. The Lord gave me a dream about reminding the mission conference "Come Forth
" and then the doors that were closed but about to be open, we were to enter in. So I spoke to Julie about the joy being our spiritual weapon and that tomorrow we need to increase the level of our joy. secondly about the peace and standing in it, for the battle is the Lord's, (Neh 8: 10 and 2 Chron. 20)

Today during the class we asked ourselves "What does your heart look like?" and it is awesome study. Praise God!!!!

becoming missionaries

 Recent dream about the lamb walking the street of Anderson. (Conversation with Sam about worship)

The end of this month moving to Anderson and starting a ministry underneath the pastor. It will involve worship, intercession, etc. 24/7

The Lord is smoothly helping us to transition to a new place. Praise be to Jesus.

Revival of seeking God

  Last week, Samuel had a high temperature and fever. So he rested in bed most of Saturday and Sunday. He did not go to work on Monday. During those highly difficult physically days, the Lord blessed it spiritually. He revived us!!!! We received teaching from Benny Hinn on how to seek the Lord. AWW, since that we had a long wonderful week with the Lord. I even took pictures of our family on each, there was a huge light presence above us. Cool! Also, my son sleeps so sound during the night like he had never had!!!!! It is amazing!!!!

What is it about seeking the Lord!!!!
Not only it is a must priority of every Christian, it is also a day to day journey fueled by the Spirit of God and His Word.

The Lord is taking me to learn His name.
That is just a beginning.

Since, Christmas is upon us and then a New Year, I have found this statement: It can be your best year if on the knees.

Praise the Lord for Who He is and His marvelous Name that He will reveal to those who diligently seek Him about all else in life.

Thanksgiving unto God the Father

  Dear readers,
Greetings!!!

We traveled to Anderson and received so much love from people.
When we returned home,  we prayed to God. Father spoke to me "I chose the smallest in amount people unto myself". Deuteronomy 7. Also, He gave the word for my friend "Listen to me daughter: pharaoh closed the deliverance of My Jews but did it stop Me from moving forward?"
Then the Holy Spirit gave me a pondering about helping Sam with his opera... We got so excited to think about creating a godly opera (giving like 10 years). Sam's desire to use Greek and Aramaic for it. So, I do have to learn to speak Aramaic to help him :)

Here we go.
Exciting

Goal for 2014

  Today has been a very unusual day for our family. In the morning, Sam's day off, we turned IHOP music and suddenly the Spirit of God rushed in and I was on my knees in prayer. It was a heart-felt prayer in tongues and some in English and Russian. Then, Sam decides to give away lots of things, mostly books. It was wonderful. It took us a long time... Then we had a heart-felt conversation that ultimately led us to establish a GOAL. To come back to finish Sam's master degree in VOICE.
That idea brought so much joy and peace to our family.

Thank You dear Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!

One person can make a difference

  The past month, which is July, the Lord has been teaching me about GENEROSITY. It has truly been a transformational month for us and the church too.

Now we are in the month of August and the latest thing I've been meditating is REVIVAL.

It has truly been my pondering how to pray for the revival of the nations. What can one person do in  relation to such an enormous task as revival? Yesterday, Samuel and I read Matthew 8 and as usual we talked about what we were reading, and out if it came an amazing revelation. God can do great things for many people through an instrument of one man. The centurion had great faith and because of it Jesus healed ALL seek people. In other instances Jesus could not do any miracles at the place because of unbelief. And based on that revelation Samuel and I decided to pray for the international students coming in for this semester and year. We interceded in faith for the revival. Actually, the prayer time was so awesome, we felt the glory of the Father upon us and that night an incredible peace abided in our room.  In addition we prayed for other things, like our pastor, our friend Scott, orphans in the Ukraine, etc.

That is what I wanted to share in here :)

Praise be to God!

The month of JUNE!!!!!

This month I stopped babysitting and remained mostly at home. The visits to the doctor were free. Praise the LORD!

Father have spoken to me about living water, thirsting for Him. Then about a new identity.
Also about the house of God and dwelling with God.

Keep coming back to the revelation of God to people through the words "I AM WITH YOU"

Liz gave birth to a boy and in Russia, Natalie gave birth to a girl (Hope).

The Lord found for us a place to move.

Samushka has been rejuvenated to write worship songs to the Lord.

give thanks

Ephesians 5:18-20

Be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 

Ephesians 5:18-20 (NIV)

We started the day with prayer and music. The Holy Spirit brought to mind this scripture.

Other scruptures that the Holy Spirit brought to memory were:

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. (Romans 12:14)
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:21)
 

Wow, how powerful God's Word is!!!!!

not what I thought

For a week or so, I thought that we need to pursue the job and living in Iowa. BUT yesterday, we understood that it wasn't the plan for us. It feels Freedom!  Thank you God.

I love my husband!

finish the race

   Today, Samuel have spoken about searching for a new job and a new place to live. His heart's desire is to be involved with art and music and his living preferences are open. Chuck Pierce spoke of a finished race, moving into a new place with the end in mind.

So, we truly need God's guidance!!!!! For Our lease is ending on July 31 and few days ago, again through Chuck Pierce, the Lord spoke about moving into a new place that is bigger.

Our promise is from Jeremiah 32:27"Is there anything too hard for Me?"
Jeremiah 32:17 "Nothing is too hard for You"


Lord, we ask You to show us, to speak to us and to guide in every way. We thank You that in all things You will be glorified through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Thank You so much!!!!!

My princess

 Few days ago, on Sunday, to be exact, Samuel and I spent time in the presence of the Lord. Angels were around us and we could hear from the Lord.  We prayed for each other.
When Sam prayed for me, he saw how from my hands were taken an opportunity to do good. Then Sam put his hand on my heart and saw a black/ char coal box. It was empty. But the Holy Spirit was creating garments for me with gold.

Today, Tuesday, I heard the Holy Spirit say: "My princess, all glorious is within." I got so excited, open the BIble and found this verse from Psalm 45:13 "All glorious is the princess within her chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold."
The Holy Spirit let me know that it is His will for me.  (The Holy Spirit holds the sword!!! Psalm 45:3-4 and Ephesians 6:17.).

blameless

  The Holy Spirit is taking me on the journey of the Word to show that God is looking for a person who is blameless. Jesus Christ's sacrifice is for us to become holy and blameless (Eph. 1:4, 5:27), but there is also our efforts needed (2 Peter 3:14). We must be careful to lead a blameless life, like David wrote in Psalm 101.
If you look into the characters of the Bible, you will see that God described some of them as BLAMELESS: Noah, Abraham and Job. Even in heaven, there is a description used for certain people as being BLAMELESS (Rev. 14).

 1 THESSALONIANS 5:23
MAY YOUR WHOLE SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY BE KEPT BLAMELESS AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

  During the worship on Sunday,
the Holy Spirit took me in the vision to the tabernacle or the tent of meeting.  I saw the laver, the place of bread, the light and laid prostrate at the ark of the covenant.

Now, I am searching and studying about the lampstand...

Isaiah 11:2 "The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord"

Holy Spirit service

 Sunday service was AMAZING!

The worship songs were about the Holy Spirit!
The sermon was about the Holy Spirit! "Preparing the way for the Holy Spirit" Scriptures: Matthew 3:11, 1 Corinthians 12:13

There was even speaking in tongues and interpretations and the prayers for MORE...

"Paraclete is not someone who judges you, but someone who stands by you and represents you..."
 

During our Bible study, we asked the Holy Spirit to show the areas where the Lord is still working on. This is what I heard: "Believe in the BEST! Believe in greatness! Believe in God!"

The Holy Spirit has been so good to us. This is what He spoke to me, concerning my husband: "Love him. Love covers over a multitude of sins." The next day, Sam speaks the same words to me, "Just love me. Love covers over a multitude of sins." AMAZING!!!

The Holy Spirit is taking us deeper in the WORD too.

YAY!!!!!

Psalm 150:2 "Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness"

a journey with the Holy Spirit

  my life is not my own, yet the presence of the Holy Spirit is not all-consuming yet. I want His presence more every day. He is so cool, the best!!!!!!! I love His presence!!!!

Dear Holy Spirit, thank You for filling and surrounding us with You. I love You.

Thank you for teaching about prayer and power, because of YOU.

I bless the name of Jesus and give the Father the glory and honor, for His beautiful gift to us.

  Father, I just want to thank you for the Medicaid, package E (emergency only) that includes labor and delivery.  You are so gracious!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! 

Next Tuesday, I am planning to see my doctor. May the Lord bless all things for His glory!
Thank you!!!!
