Miracles

You, every one of you are God the Father's special miracles. His miracle working power has given you life where there was no light or life in or of yourself.

 

He formed you and then (in Christ) He transforms you.

 

 

 

 

 

I wrote the above on my FB page and had the hashtag   #believe

 

Here I will elaborate further...

 

The scripture that I was going to add to #believe was Rom 10:13

 

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved

 

It is very important, although a miracle - our birth - who we are - we being thought of before time by God, and our form and frame fashioned by Him, the miracle of a new birth still awaits us.

 

Salvation in Christ.

 

Yes, He formed you and then (in Christ - the new birth) He transforms you.

 

Like the picture below

 His miracle working power has given you life where there was no light or life in or of yourself.

 

 

 

 OPEN YOUR HEART AND RECEIVE JESUS

 

 Amen

Prayer for my Nana

At this time my Nana was 96 years old.  She was still in quite good spirit and health.  (2008)

The process.  The prayer / the Dream / Nana's excitement / the phone call.

The prayer:

One day in 2008 I was walking through my unit toward the kitchen, when I felt this strong sense to pray for my Nana.  It was quite an arrest of my spirit, so I sat on the couch and I said to the Lord, 'what do you want me to pray for' and the response I felt was, 'I want you to pray for her death'.

This was a bit strange, but I felt it was from the Lord.  Plus, she was 96 years old and her time would come one day.  So I sat and prayed for about 5 minutes.  The things I prayed for were along the line of: Lord take her peacefully / quietly and without pain and that she would get to do everything that she needed to do before she left this earth and went on to her Heavenly Father. I also prayed for her heart, for Jesus to deal with any issues that need to be dealt with.

The dream:

A week or so later I had a dream.  I was in a church and there were pew type seats and some people I knew from church, and then there was this young girl in a beautiful white dress standing in front of me - holding the sides of her dress open with a playful swing in her stance. I said to her 'Nana, you are here, you are here'.  In saying 'you are here', I knew it was heaven, and this young girl whom I somehow knew was my Nana, was in white, and she was youthful.  And I was joyed that she was in heaven.  As she was Catholic, the pews in the dream made sense.

The names of God - Praise

I turned on the TV this morning and a program had just started. The guy was sharing about praising God and he gave 9 names of God that we can praise Him with. Message on praise. Part 4 of a series. I found this message encouraging and lifted my spirit. The past year has been trying for me and at times out loud I didn't even have the energy to praise, but within me, I could still give thanks, prayer and praise.

Praise with the names of God.

His name is:

Yahweh - to be / ever living / self existing.

Jehovah Jireh - the Lord will provide - Jesus offered for us. Gen 2 God will provide himself a sacrifice. (He is the one who sees ahead. He sees your need before you see it).

Jehovah Rapha - to cure / to heal / to restore. God's name is the healing. His name is synonymous for wholeness. His name is a balm to your wounds.

Jehovah Nissi - God our banner. Ex 17. With a giant threat, praise Jehovah Nissi. Victory.

Jehovah Makkadesh - to set aside, separated. God is separated from sin, God is sinless. God dedicated himself for me. Holy.

Jehovah Shalom - God our peace. Judges 6. Gideon. Disobedient to God, but they turned to Him and God heard their prayer and they built an alter. Deep abiding peace.

Jehovah Rohi - the Lord is my Shepherd.

Jehovah Tsidkenu - the Lord our Righteousness. Jer 23:6. This is like a long tall glass of water to a thirsty person. Jer was a time of violence and corruption. Spiritual leaders confused and scattered.
God said, I am going to send my Righteousness. Christ became our righteousness.

Jehovah Shammah - God is always present. Every moment of every day, God is there for you. He never pretends he doesn't know you, even when you can not accept yourself he accepts you.

Mat 28:20 This is why I praise. Praise His name and sense him engulfing you. Praise God with lips, with resources, with who we are.

God's Word to my Mum.

My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in the yr 2000 approx. She had found a lump in her right breast so she went to the doctor and had tests to confirm it. Quickly she had an operation; her breast and some lymph nodes were removed, with the cancer said to be relatively aggressive and estrogen fed.

Her next challenge was the process of Chemotherapy. She lost her hair, her wellness, but she seemed so strong emotionally. I spent a couple of weeks with her early on, looking after her as she recovered from her operation as well as going through her initial chemo treatment. (We live in different States in Australia, so I had some time off to be with her).

Once this chemo process was all done she would then have 6 monthly and then yearly checks, to make sure there was no return of the cancer.  In the 10th year she had her final check and they said there is no need for her to come back - she was cancer free.
