The main thing is that we love Him and try to do what He asks us to do. Whatever trials we go through, life is worthless without Him, as I am sure you will agree.

But this I know, "the Lord causes all things to work together for good, to those who love God and those who are the called according to His purposes." I have heard of many testimonies where God took someone's sickness and brought good from it. I have also heard many testimonies where God miraculously healed someone, thus bring others to the Lord.

When you pray that you want your faith to be strengthened and become "unshakeable" look out....the Lord is happy to help you with that. At least He's been happy to help me with it! The cool thing is that it seems there are many of us that are learning this. I need to catch up on the last few of your posts as well. I have been a little out of the loop for sometime now. But, I feel it is time to get back in. My blog is not updating on anyone's blog roll and I don't know why. I have tried to fix it and can't. Will keep working on it. Maybe if you could just pray that the Lord will help me to take care of it I can figure it out. Will be back later to read more of what you have written.<br />Blessings my friend...ChelleReformed rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223763504256286702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-64495700891088033262013-05-11T00:42:55.277-07:002013-05-11T00:42:55.277-07:00Hi 'fellow traveller' Patrina,
yes I do be...Hi 'fellow traveller' Patrina,<br />yes I do believe that the Lord is bringing us and many others into a walk of faith. When I was in a church gathering where the Lord brought five people together and that gathering operated freely as the church operated two thousand years ago, each person sharing as the Lord led, the most amazing things happened, including healing and prophetic messages. During that time I used to get flashing brilliant lights when I prayed, so bright that I felt that if I opened my eyes they would blind me. Several times it appeared as if a dove was flapping it's wings within those lights, very much like the dove on your blog. I felt so close to the Lord at that time, and I feel the Lord encouraging me to come close again through prayer.<br />God bless you as we pray for the Holy Spirit to move as it wishes in our lives.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-39544111820317385382013-05-10T15:01:55.826-07:002013-05-10T15:01:55.826-07:00Awesome, Brenda..

I want to thank you for your encouragement and prayers for my sister. <br /><br />Sounds like we are both on a faith walk. I think it is a season the Lord is bringing us into...for His mighty purposes. I love how the Lord speaks to you...but it is you that is learning how to listen. To stop and discern. I love it when His plan unfolds in our lives.<br /><br />So glad we can share of the goodness of the Lord in our individual life and be encouraged by each other.

I believe that everything I have gone through was for a purpose and that empathy brings sympathy and causes me, hopefully, never to judge those outside or call them 'evil' for once I was 'evil' myself. Hopefully, through the Holy Spirit, I will be able to 'bring forth fishes after my own kind' so to speak. After all, the Lord is making us 'fishers of men'. You say in your comment . 'He wants me to hang myself up to show the whole patchwork quilt of my life, but only in order to glorify Him and encourage others through it..' This is exactly what I believe also. How can we speak of, and be, a light in darkness if that light has never entered our own darkness? God bless you Lisa, hold fast that which is good.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-43342624287000686652013-05-09T06:39:36.674-07:002013-05-09T06:39:36.674-07:00Hi child of God again,

I too used pray very deeply, when we returned from Australia and went to live in Lancashire for two years, and when I lived in my previous town in Wales. In both places the Lord did the most amazing things, including physical healings, dreams which spoke Spiritually and revelations when we prayed in the Spirit. Your last comment was published twice and even that speaks Spiritually. God bless you for your prayers and encouragement.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-66218069569104180212013-05-09T05:52:44.118-07:002013-05-09T05:52:44.118-07:00Hi Brenda,

Before my pastor passed into the presence of Jesus, this is what the Lord laid on his heart and often his sermons were centered around prayer and the lack of God's people praying. Because he knew I have been commissioned by the Lord to pray he and other deacons from my church asked if I would start and run a house of prayer from my church. I agreed and have been doing so since February. The very sad, sad thing is there are only 4 others who show up regularly to pray. :( Although this really saddens me I am not discouraged for the Lord has told us that if 2 or more pray in agreement then that will be done by Jesus!! Those who do show up to pray are powerful, dedicated and totally on fire for Father. <br /><br />I am so thrilled to see that you are going to dive into prayer again. That is a direct answer to my prayers that Father will raise up mighty prayer warriors and intercessors. :)<br /><br />The power of God's Word is beyond our understanding but I know when I pray Scripture mighty things happen in my spirit and the atmosphere around me and around others. <br /><br />Blessings sister,<br /><><child of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635805396738062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-36313830922737551512013-05-09T05:48:15.778-07:002013-05-09T05:48:15.778-07:00I demolish arguments and every pretension that set...

My husband was relaxing in his chair,listening to the radio, when suddenly and for no apparent reason the radio channel switched from Radio 4 to Premier Radio ( a Christian channel ). ' What the heck happened there'he said and was about to turn it back. 'Wait a minute' I said 'leave it on that channel, I want to hear what is being said.' I had a strong feeling there was a reason for this. As I listened, the man said 'The trouble with many Christians today, they do not pray in the Spirit as much as they should', and he went on to say that praying in the Spirit was praying God's word to us'. I felt absolutely that I was being spoken to as, since I have moved down this way, I have not been as strong in prayer as I used to be. I believe it is time for me to change.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-8750692070327279232013-05-09T01:08:47.010-07:002013-05-09T01:08:47.010-07:00Hi Paul,

It was a beautiful leading of the Lord that had come to that point from various happenings in my life, and as I walked in the building the man who had felt led to start the church there, John Khulman, was saying 'Only believe and you shall see the glory of the Lord'. Paul, I would love to hear your testimony, perhaps one day you will share it.<br />Thank you for your kind commenBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-14126459728647231262013-05-09T01:04:42.157-07:002013-05-09T01:04:42.157-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-89765347840329615262013-05-09T00:58:15.399-07:002013-05-09T00:58:15.399-07:00Hi Sateigdra,
thank you for your encouraging comme...Hi Sateigdra,<br />thank you for your encouraging comment. I love the meaning of what faith actually is:- 'The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' Sometimes we think we have faith when we have not. I have realized this, because if Jesus said to the apostles that they only had to have faith the size of a mustard seed to uproot a mulberry tree then any faith I think I have should be able to bring about what I hope for. The Lord tells us to 'ask and it shall be given', and I am sure that, because of your desire and the trials you have already gone through, He will increase your faith if you ask Him. He is a faithful and just God.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-1837029553423024962013-05-09T00:45:01.904-07:002013-05-09T00:45:01.904-07:00Hi child of God,

Almost immediately I had a dream about 'lumps' and then started to experience my teaching from the Lord. I had always believed that the Lord could keep a person alive if He wanted to no matter what, even if they were shot with ten bullets. He has kept me under the sufficiency of His grace for 22 years and now I believe He is speaking to me about 'healing' and 'faith'. This morning I felt let to add another bit of writing on my post, and I had a dream last night where 14 people were being invited to a party, they were all part of a choir and the gospel was mentioned in the invitation. Every person must work out the Lord's purpose in them, each is unique yet One in Christ. It sounds like 'faith' is being spoken about in many of our lives.<br />God blessBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-40401470983699448812013-05-09T00:34:15.534-07:002013-05-09T00:34:15.534-07:00Hi Frank,
