God Is Amazing

Im so thank ful to God for answering so much prayers and so much question marks in my life and when going through this dead line God comes out and reaches out Him self. By the way thank you nadia for praying and anyone who prayed for me, God bless your kind hearts and souls. well the other day i was all depressed and sad of how my life was going cuz it had nothing interesting in the spiritual side, and it might seem like your standing on one spot but you are actually falling, thats wat i was feeling like. It sucked. but i talked to my freinds and thank God, i came home and cried everything out to our God which sees the heart and the worries that our selfs we cant say and only He can see and understand us fully. Just like David came to God every time believe me folks if anything come to God he will help "... Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yes, the Lord will give what is good; and our land wil yeild its increase. Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make his footsteps our pathway." pslams 85:10-13 Just a reminder.. hard times come and through them is the only way you will get closer with God, dnt give up on those times.. keep strong, cry out to the Lord, or just stay on your knees and He will look down at you and kiss you with peace and happiness. Your soul will be yelling out with joy to the Lord. Dnt give up, open the pages of Bible and the help will rain down at you!

God talking through us.

The other day, i was talking to my friend/classmate about God and tried to explain so much to her and tell her as much as i can about the bible and God, and nothing seemed to come out right. It sucked. i was mad. I decided to read the bible in english and for my self i dnt understand it, but i knew that if ima read it in english i will be able to come up to the unchristians and explain more clearly and say more verses from the bible. So i was talking to mom all about it and how frustrated i was when i was trying to translate from russian thoughts to english words and i couldnt.. And then mom pointed a fact out for me, she said " when you talk to a non christian you need to come up to them with the simpliest form of english possible, so that they can understand what you are talking about, not the christian bible talks that they have never heard." and i took a lesson for my self that at times when we talk to our classmates/co-wokers/friends about God we use too hard of a language for them, you might be speaking english but it will sound a whole different language for them, cause thats new to them. just imagine you sitting in a class with everyone speaking a language you have never understood, obviously at first you wont have a clue what they are talking about. You will have to learn and read more and have your mind in it. Same here we need to come up to the nonchristians with the simple version of christian langauge, and explain it to them as easy as possible. No smart needed, explain with your heart in it and God will talk.. i hope you guys understood what i was trying to say, victoria please add up..

Too late :(


Our lifes are so catchy and so busy, that at times we dnt even have time for God, and we put it on the last minutes. Like umm ill read the bible before i go to sleep, (the last minutes of the day and your like falling asleep already, practically drooling on the bible, and dnt get a word the Bible just said) or ill tell my neighbors/classmates/co-workers about God later, i have alot of time/i can do it tommorow. And day after day after day same old excuses. same with praising the Lord at churches as in singing in the choir/preaching/saying verses/prayer groups..etc. Did you ever think that it might be tooo late? Did you ever have the thought that you might die one day, and thats it.. the end of worshiping God? And to point one fact out for you is, we are made/put on this earth to worship/praise/live for God. So, when the day comes and your gonna leave this earth you cant praise and worhip God in the graves and that will be the end of your mission, and when you are going to come before God its gonna be too late. As psalms 88:10-12 "Will you work wounders for the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise You? Selah. Shall Your loving kindness be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction? Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetness?" These verses state that the dead cant show Gods wonders and in the Grave you cant show how loving and kind our Lord is and in the dark how are you going to show people our God? Later/tommorow/ is gonna be late. Think twice. Just put your mind on how great and wounderful our Lord is and how mercy He is to us. Read Psalms 85 - anything that we ask for from our Lord, He gives/loves/cares. You cant praise God after death, so why not praise Him with our lifes and live for Him so we wont regret the eternity.

Unbelievable

Its so wounderful how God works through us, or finds His own paths how to tell people around us how much He loves every created being! God is astonishing! Every time i think about how He loves His creation, it brings joy to my heart. By the way i have been praying for God to talk through me to people around me, to tell everyone about God which was so hard for me, But He our Lord finds His perfect ways and not only He helps us but He gets the glory himself. Well ill start out with a simple story but it changed alot in my life and the person who it happened to. There is this person who i go to school with, she has couple kids, herself; she is a very happy and easy going person. When she just came to school i kinda helped her out and got her into the program which then she thanked me for such a long time. I noticed she had a very kind soul, and a very simple life. I was sitting in class typing a program up for our youth service that is going to be and she comes up and asks me what im doing, at first i got lost. But then i explained whats it for, about our church how often i go to church and just alot about the services we have and kinda went into a deep conversation about enternity and about the relationship with God, us christians have. when i asked her if she knows what im talking about she said i have never heard of that you can have a relationship with God, but herself she believes in God and eternity life. After i was talking about our missionary group and i gave her one of the tracts which she was so happy about and said she will read it to her children as a night story. I invited her to our church which she got so excited about and said she would love to and also woudnt mind to bring her children with her. Over the weekend i collected more tracts that were more for kids and more simple so she herself can understand. The other day when i seen her i asked if she would like to read some more, and she was happy to take them and read more to her children. She told me that the last time when she read it, her children asked alot of questions and woundered more about it. God is amazing, He gave her interest himself and talked through me to her heart. God is great and He knows how to talk to every soul specifically and gently. Thank God that she opened up to Him, and that she has so much interest in it. Please pray for this soul, her path with God just started and she needs alot of help and understanding of Gods word. Pray for God to open up more and more and for her to accept Jesus Christ as her saviour. Thank you soo much.God has his own marvelous ways to touch every soul, He touched my soul and saved me, and He is willing to help others. In this new journey with this lady, please go through it with her through your prayers. May God bless you.

Gods journey

Have you ever woundered why something that you are doing for God is not working out?
For instance you might be putting your heart into preaching but it just seems that God is not helping you out?.. like your all on your own.. Why?..
There is this book im reading (thank you soo much Nadia, i love it!) its called So Much More.. (everyone should read it if they are looking up on living for God daily not just on sundays at church when you get that feeling like "Man i would love to do that and this and BLA BLA BLA, but the next day.. too bad your down at where you left of at- on saturday night. anyways..) There is this character in the book named Erica, before she had the opening from God she thought she was doing the right thing, praising God and telling the world about Him just like He willed everyone to do so. At age 19 she jumped into a fulltime ministry, thats hard to leave home and be somewhere else and telling people about God so they can actually see Him through you. But it ends up that God actually didnt want her there, He had something else planned for her.
Putting my self in her position i think everyone went through that. It might not be ministry but something else that you always wanted to do, or you always understand thats where you belong, but its not like that God has something unusually different for everyone. For instance you are living your life for God and your doing something that Erica thought that it is right, but then you see that your not getting blessed by God and its tooo hard to handle. You start asking God why and He pulls you out and puts you just in the position you belong at.
Every Gods Journey doesnt come easy, it never starts and ends easy,.. but while doing the Mission that the Lord gives you to do you have so much pleasure and fun in doing it that you forget the hard times.
-Let God bless you on the journey that he has found you to be at, and let the Lord help you find it..
