Jesus is a wonderful Saviour, full of the love of the Father, and wants everybody saved.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-24606763343052232662012-10-19T14:06:16.498-07:002012-10-19T14:06:16.498-07:00This is a great post Brenda.

That scripture you shared from psalms talking about, everyone labouring in vain if God isn't the builder. I never understood it or it went straight pass me until I read it here in your post.I love how God's Holy Spirit can guide us to truth through His saints. S.

I wonder if you realize just how in touch...Kelline,<br />I wonder if you realize just how in touch with God YOU are yourself, never mind anyone else. I believe that is the main thing to remember, to allow the Lord to build the house. If something 'goes wrong' according to our way of thinking, it may just be 'right' according to God's plan. We only have to look at Joseph being thrown into a pit by his brothers to see that what appeared bad, God meant for good.<br />As far as my experiences with the little creatures were concerned, even creatures themselves can have spiritual meaning to them as far as the scriptures are concerned. I was amazed myself at how the green paint simply washed the spider clean and it didn't drown, I absolutely believe it was all done by the power of God to reveal something to me. I have had many experiences that can only be attributed to God's intervention and presence, and I know many other people who have as I am sure you do. The day we stop believing that all things are possible with God is a day of doom.<br />God bless you Kelline, trust in the Lord with all your heart, He is faithful and just.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-65966691238376307372012-10-04T17:29:12.095-07:002012-10-04T17:29:12.095-07:00Miss Brenda,
You are something else! I declare th...Miss Brenda,<br /><br />You are something else! I declare that nobody seems more in tune with the Lord and His message than you. I just hung on every word you wrote here...knowing there was a message in it because God often sends me to you when He has a message. This time, it was Him telling me that I'm on the right path and to just stay there and trust Him. He knows I've been living alone for 8 years and have kept myself chaste and virtuous out of a faith that one day a husband will come. I have often thought that this is a waste of time and that I'm withering away, aging, and alone and all for what? Today, He tells me through your writing that it's for His purpose and plan for my life...that's what. In other words, the text <em>"building your own house is like a spider web"</em>. He wants me to know that although I am impatient at times, confused, and on occasion lonely, I am thus out of faith. I believe with all of my heart that I have been able to remain this way because He's strengthened me to be so. If I venture away from this life and into what I think I should be doing it will fail, I will stand in His way for me, and the world will creep in slowly until it consumes me and I become like the world once more. He didn't save me for that. I must remain faithful and continue to build my house on the rock! Praise God! Thank you for being such an obedient woman of God.<br /><br />By the way, I want you and your countrymen to know that what you do for these animals is outstanding. In America, an animal is hit daily on the roads and highways and left to perish. Often slowly and painfully. Rarely if ever are these creatures of God rescued. I found your hedgehog tale to be a beautiful testament to love and kindness. I LOVED the story of the lobster as much. But how did that spider not drowned? hahahaha. I felt so good reading those words knowing that there is one lobster who got a second chance to live. I will forever wonder what went through it's mind as you set it upon the sand once more. Amazing love!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685466428387321651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-9911633646297555702012-10-03T00:45:33.881-07:002012-10-03T00:45:33.881-07:00Hello Darryl,

I think for me the word of God has always contained such love and perfection that I believe absolutely that when God is seen as He really is, through our mediator Jesus and our teacher the Holy Spirit, then nobody would turn away. I do believe that the antichrist is doing his job of trying to replace the real church with something that has no power. The power can only be in God Himself and His plan, not a substitute, but there will only be One winner and if we each do what the Lord wants us to do then others will be brought in. If we don't, then God will use someone else anyway, but I would say there is nothing to compare with what we have in Christ, and I think you would too Darryl.<br />God bless you in your ministry.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-75533650904322252442012-10-02T18:49:49.235-07:002012-10-02T18:49:49.235-07:00This is a beautiful post Brenda and one so rich in...This is a beautiful post Brenda and one so rich in personal testimony and well anchored in scripture.

There is a long story attached to the Lord helping me get over my fear of spiders. Do you know, I love interacting with people on blogs, I feel like this is an on-line church. The Bible tells us that where two or three are gathered in Jesus' name, there He is in the midst of them. In the old testament, the name usually reflected the character, and that is what it means, when we are gathered together in the character of Jesus, there He is in the midst of us. We are built up by one another, whether in a building or on line. God bless you Priscy.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-7939101181317613152012-10-01T04:08:27.261-07:002012-10-01T04:08:27.261-07:00You know, I have added your blog to my blogroll so...You know, I have added your blog to my blogroll so I can get an update anytime you make a new post. Was going to drop a note checking up on you the other time and realized you had commented on a post I made.<br /><br />Brenda, ever since I got to know your blog, you have been an inspiration to me, God bless you, you nailed this one too. Just that, left to me alone, that spider would have probably died cos' I cant bring myself to touching it... they scare my very bone! lol.<br />Happy new month, may the good Lord continue to be gracious to us and give us peace.

I see many people on the streets that need rescue, both from physical dangers and spiritual dangers. We can help with the physical where we are able, but we can only point the way to the spiritual help which is the greatest rescue of all time. All credit for that rescue goes to God the Father and Jesus Christ, speaking to each of us through the Holy Spirit.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-53717894373580192002012-09-30T22:55:06.497-07:002012-09-30T22:55:06.497-07:00Hi Brenda, It would seem many of us are getting a ...Hi Brenda, It would seem many of us are getting a similar rescue message.

Yes, when I feel I am in the presence of the Holy Spirit I feel like that as well. I always feel that way in intercessory prayer. Thankyou for sharing the daily devotion, I don't believe anything is coincidence. I read recently that there is no word in the Hebrew for 'coincidenc'. I too believe we are in the end times, and that it is essential that we do whatever the Holy Spirit requires of us, both outside with unbelievers and inside with one another.<br />My friend and myself find that in the coastal town where we meet up to evangelize, there are more and more people evangelizing. We get a lovely response from quite a few people as well. If it would be just one it would be celebration time. We pray that what has been planted will be watered and that God will add the increase.<br />God bless you, and hope to see you back on the blogging when you feel ready to.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-43263264892685177542012-09-29T10:54:55.689-07:002012-09-29T10:54:55.689-07:00Yes Joy,

So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man. Tell the breath, 'GOD, the Master, says, Come from the four winds. Come, breath. Breathe on these slain bodies. Breathe life!'" So I prophesied, just as he commanded me. The breath entered them and they came alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army. — Ezekiel 37:9-10 msg</i><br /><br />I very rarely read the Message version of the Bible as it changes the Word too much for my liking, but this passage, in the way it is worded, directly linked my mind to your post. <br /><br />God is stirring and it just makes me think He is about to make His entrance. <br /><br />Blessings,<br /><><child of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635805396738062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-45094089686777319402012-09-29T09:28:59.550-07:002012-09-29T09:28:59.550-07:00Prophetic!
