Deborah-Leigh:
In turn it encourages me that my brothers and sisters are diligently in study of the Word.

Yes I have been gifted with a certain eloquence for which I shall be accountable Vangie.

Thank you for your kind words.

Deb :)

hi arc,
i always love reading your posts. you are so blessed to be where you are.  where God put you.  your diligent study of the scriptures via ray's teachings and with God's spirit guiding you is reflected back to you thru your opportunities given to you to speak the truths of His words.  to be living in africa during these times most likely are difficult now and then, and to live without fear and with the boldness of the truths you hold in your spirit/heart must be exciting.

i would love to meet you one day in person (as we all wish on the forums regarding each other). i am making plans to attend ray's nashville conference.

again, thank you for your words of inspiration.

your sister in Christ,
claudia

Deborah-Leigh:
Your words of wisdom and insight are of great encouragement to me this morning claudia.

Yes, living in Africa is difficult but living through the circumstances that the Lord has given to me is also testing for which He adds much blessing and encouragement.

Blessed Peace be yours

Arc.

Arcturus,  You say:

I know if God see's that to humble me, he should arrange for a demented fellow to come and knock me down and half club me to death, it will happen. I know that. If it is meant to happen that a person comes in to hurt me, it will be under the watchful eye of God. What ever happens, God is in control.


The very thought of this makes one thankful for the day and everything in it no matter how small, it is all provided by God in His infinite plan and wisdom.

Craig, I believe you are on to something there about II Tim. 2:15.  May we all be approved to speak to someone through the Holy Spirit.

Rest in the Lord,
Barbara

Deborah-Leigh:
Yea Barbara

The Lord is showing me that EVERYTHING is by HIS PROVIDENCE and the smallest joys and ABSENCE of harm are from HIM. HE and HE alone is truly my protection. As He put His own children into the hands of the Chaldean's, so too He can do the same with me to teach, chastise, correct, humble and educate me.  Ref Habakkuk.

Just today I realised that I was in a peaceful time of joy. For the first time I was caused to ask the Lord  that during the next trial and test that He give me His Mercy, Forgiveness for my feeling abandoned by Him and His Pity and Compassion. What a gift to have been enabled to ask that! What a gift! The trials and tests must come and having been enabled by HIM to ask this, feels like rigging an anchor to hang onto during the next overwhelming test. I will be able to know also if this anchor endures or if it is going to be burnt up in the next test. That's if I remember! :D

Blessed Peace to you sister

Arcturus :)
