Love, Himself, the One and Only!

Friday 4 April 25 Recap

 As we gathered, we shared about the many challenges we faced this week. Especially when you think everything will go as expected, and suddenly, nothing goes as expected! Another shared about unexpected road hazards that seemed like death traps of the enemy! Such as deer crossings, and drivers that want to push you off the road! And then there are those challenges when we try to express our feelings to others and why does it seem to end in conflict?! We conclude that God is in control, God is in the details, and the angels are protecting us! Whew!

We prayed and invited Jesus to lead our gathering, and that He would be in the details!

Our first testimony was on writing tracks! She got about 20 different ideas while listening at a concert! For instance, 10 different ideas to help Christians become more bold and 10 ideas for non-Christians. She has a multiple number of resources for layout ideas so we can’t wait to see how these develop! Wow, the Lord speaks to us in the most amazing places!

The second testimony: spoke of when she received Christ at the age of 12. She didn’t understand what all that meant until her early 30s when the Lord met her like never before! Up till then, she realized it had been a religion and not a relationship. Because the relationship she found in Him was nothing like the world can give you. This was warm and tender instead of selfish and self-centered. As she’d gone up for prayer, she was surrounded by ladies. But it wasn’t until the Lord brought a young man and he asked her if she could see Jesus? And she saw Him reaching down to her, so she reached up in complete surrender to Him and that’s when His love filled her heart and spirit and soul. That’s what made her feel so hungry for Him! When she went home, she was so excited! He has always been her strength since then, and He gets all the glory for it!

We talked about how the love of God can’t be found in other people but only in Jesus! And yet we keep seeking to receive love from others instead of just going directly to Him! The hard part is refraining from pushing and shoving others to Him. They need to seek Him for themselves, otherwise it creates more problems. Just let them know they are loved and valued! It’s not meant to be hard!

Another testimony about a vivid dream, having a room in the White House and seeing her mom that had passed away. Her mom was shiny and young and healthy, and very happy, which spoke of what was really important in this life. No matter what issues or conflicts with siblings may have occurred surrounding the event of her passing, relationships that lead to salvation is what truly matters.

We discussed different dreams and how mysterious they can be sometimes. Asking Jesus for the interpretation is always a good idea. Lol! We talked about how Satan can attack us in our dreams. And how even in our dream state we can go to Jesus for the interpretations. We overcome the evil one as Jesus persuade us of what is actually true. Satan plays poker and he is a liar! As Christians, we must plead the blood of Jesus and take authority! We wondered if we had, in the past, a better capacity to perceive through our spiritual eyes, ears and senses prior to all these technologies and wireless interferences that surround us today?

We listened to another original Worship song and talked about those holy goosebumps! Those goosebumps create stem cells in our bodies and make us healthier! More Lord!

We talked about how Satan tries to rename us and change our true identity. He leads us to perceive in error and believe lies. How do we help someone after they have hardened their hearts? After they have given up hope for God to come through? John Bevere’s book called “The Bait of Satan” was recommended. It’s about those things that take us away from God, i.e. resentment, bitterness and unforgiveness.

Another share about “what do angels actually look like”? Our culture depicts them sometimes very differently from scripture as in Ezekiel, with four faces. This is what his pastor was asking the children recently and lo and behold, the same conversation came up while talking to a friend. She had concluded as with scripture, so that was confirmation. These kinds of co-inky-dinks are happening more and more for him! Praise God! Also, there was a shout out to Nicholas Bowling who is a street preacher who preaches from the heart! His prayer healed an autistic boy that years later was functioning normally and in his correct grade. We talked about the difference between food in America and in China. Where Chinese food is more organic and balanced. America is the only country that adds poisons to their food. Plus, it’s over processed! So, we lifted up JFK Jr and his mission to clean up American food and MAHA, Make America Healthy Again! 

We pray that everyone in our “My Family” receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit! It was recommended to watch a video of Brandon Biggs and Sid Roth where they shared the gift of the Holy Spirit! Of course, we will accept any gift the Lord would give to us! Dreams, visions, tongues, prophecy, healings, etc. We will not put Him in a box! Just a free and open relationship with Him. Most importantly is that we just go to Him and ask for it. Rick Joiner prayed for years before he received his gifts, which only proves that persistence pays off!

We closed in prayer, thanking God for our time together, that we could hear how He is working in our lives. We prayed salvation for our family, friends, and circle of influence. We prayed He would continue to open our spiritual eyes even in trials because our hope is in Him! We thanked Him for His messengers and for drawing us together in His chords of Love. We prayed for encouragement, to continue to keep asking for gifts, to lead us in the way we should go. We prayed that He would help us keep doubts and naysayers from affecting our walk. We pray for special needs for each one of us and our families. We know He always hears us, and we know to always put Him first as He helps us to shine and to continue to give Him Glory!

Blessings!

*co-inky-dink is our way of saying there are no coincidences with God! Lol!
