he poured his Spirit out in fast-flowing prayer of people quarantined there in the upper room, of those who hid together from the dreadful air of persecutors outside and their promised doom... but tongues of flame cannot be covered up for long and in a furor all heaven broke loose, a clamor from his children now made strong for each were given new words for their use. and those outside who heard the swelling sound they understood the words but not the meaning; they saw the great commotion all around but stayed blind to the lessons there for gleaning: to understand the waves that outward seethe, one must observe the flames that burn beneath.
Even in the fire be courageous, kind, become refined. Even When trials come, truth is skewed, hell burns all around...have courage and be kind. Watch how God carries you to goodness within and even sometimes outside too. See the magic and miracles that can unfold; sometimes the biggest miracle is being able to stand in truth and integrity through the flames, or using the flames to find these gem Sermon. I found this guy through my mom the other day in such an uncanny way, and so much of what he was saying was confirming my thoughts earlier that da Not an Adventist, but he is certainly one who I can ride with. Very amazing insights and really humble and real. So this Spiritual Sabbath, here is an actual Adventist sermon. God can use the fire to burn up the bondages and bad wrapped all around you from others or even yourself Fire destroys things, and can make things stronger, sharper and more beautiful all at once God walks with you
Of all the crazy news these days, a particular story upset me a lot. It took a few hours
to digest, to see the light. A dog; nice fluffy medium size dog, either jumped out of a truck or I
think left because the person didn’t want it anymore. I think the dog was in another city, not
near is own home, because the dog has stayed at the spot it was left for four years ~ waiting for
the master to return.
A passing bike rider noticed the dog going to work at the same spot getting thinner and thinner.
The bike rider asked around the neighbourhood about the owner. The people said it was just a stray
dog that had been there for four
Passover starts this evening, and I felt in my spirit that every Christian should anoint their homes and family in prayer for protection so plague, fear, illness and death would passover.
I might not be right, but it seems powerful thing to do.
Hey guys, I know a lot of you are stressed and worried during this time of quarantine, but I just want to tell you not to let hard circumstances steal your peace and joy.
Circumstances come and go but peace and joy come from God, and God is steady, unmoving and immutable. That means HE NEVER CHANGES. If you're getting your joy and peace from God then that means all you have to do is keep focusing on Him and you have an endless supply of it!
God works all things for good, to those that LOVE HIM, and are called according to His purposes. He's working things for good, even if it doesn't feel like it.

Patience for Repentance
"The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)
It's easy to forgive someone you care about who hurt you and others when they regret their actions, ask for forgiveness and change to try to prevent future harm. If you care about them, then you understand we all make mistakes and do things we regret and so deserve a chance to become a better person and make amends.
But what about those who don't even acknowledge the harm they caused, don't apologize and don't make any effort to stop causing more harm? Eve
His paths are lovingkindness, they are truth;
Each winding road, not merely those I choose
As I approach the waning of my youth.
Not dwelling on all that I have to lose,
I look and see what covenants have bound
This life together, made it sound and whole.
I think of testimonies: surer ground
To walk and make the value of the toll.
Oh how they keep me in my wanderings deep!
We all began where Psalms of lament must:
Within the confines of a cavernous grief,
In utter darkness, pain as coarse as dust.
My soul there waited for the Lord’s relief,
His hand to lift, His face to shine with favor.
And when He came I could not help but sing
With joy that only pain could help me savor,
With gratitude for His delivering.
But those who walked before me lagged behind,
The darkness hid their morass underneath;
Now years have passed, but still their mired minds
Have yet to move those weary, grieving feet.
I’d hoped by now the whole Psalm they’d rehearse,
But they have yet to pass the second verse.
Kind of late, but today I really needed rest.
Onward.

Comfort and coaching for the brokenhearted and struggling
Psalm 119:24
Your testimonies are my delight; they are my counselors.
When we reflect on God's goodness in our life and his wisdom that helps guide us,
these things become the best comforters and directors to our hurting heart and hard situation.
Psalm 119:33-34
Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statues; and I will keep it to the end.
Give me Understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart.
