VOTE according to your conscience!

This week at Bethel, we saw a quick video clip that was really good from catholicvote.com. If you get a chance, go on that site and check it out. It is powerful and it brings to light the issue that is at stake this election. There is also a Supreme Court issue; 4 Justices are  retiring in the next 4-8 yrs and with the new President choosing their replacements,  when we vote, we are determining  decisions made for our country for the next 40 yrs because younger and younger justices are being chosen for this high position. It is so crucial that we pray and seek God in this election and are not swayed by  points of view which do not consider the opinion of our God. For more on this, check out this site ...the article at the bottom of the page by Dutch Sheets is worth reading and praying about. God Bless you and may His face shine upon you and give you peace, this week as you pray and seek the face of God over our country and our future.

God is good all the time!

Ok, if I got some readers hooked....oops! My bad! Have been swamped so blogging went down for a bit...I am back though and want so much to share what I am learning with you. There is an imparting going on here at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, with hands laid on, and words preached under the power of the Holy Spirit. Men and women have gone before me, laid down their lives  for the Lord and as a result, the power of God evident in this place is present every day. I am being changed because of it. I am starting to see myself as God sees me...more loved than anything else. I cannot lose that unfailing love. It is worth everything to me and the more I get, the more I want. Its like addiction only better. Then there is the world, who like me, if they came into contact with the power of the Glorious God of the Universe, present within a believer, would start to receive healing in their bodies and souls. Yes, its a transforming power, this anointing of God. Anointing for those of you who are new  to this term, might be defined as the power of God for the purpose of healing or deliverance. Luke 4:18 has Jesus talking about why God anointed Him....all for the good of men and women, because He is a good God. So yes, I am on the receiving end of this glorious imparting of His Spirit and it is making me hungry to carry it to others. Here is my prayer for you: The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace! Amen! More to come soon. God Bless!!!!!

Sing your way out of trouble.....

Not kidding on this one. King Jehosaphat did it in 2 Chron. 20...check it out. As they sang, all their deadly enemies were defeated before they got out there to fight them. They sang praises first..."Praise the Lord for His Mercy endures forever" YES! Its because of His Love, forgiveness and goodness that all the enemies of Jehosaphat were defeated, not because the King was all that! no way! Praise God, its not because I am doing anything or ever did anything right, that my enemies are defeated, its because  of HIM and how GOOD HE is and MERCIFUL He is...its because He loves me. I love it, not having to earn the answer, not having to do it all right, not having to be perfect, not having to have everyone's opinion in favor of me..but just because I am His daughter. It is enough. SO like the tribe of Judah that day in Israel, when all of their deadly enemies were coming to destroy them, I am going to sing my way out of trouble and the battle will be the Lord's and I will stand still and see the salvation of the Lord! 

If you feel inspired to support me in a financial way the following is available....

Musings over coffee

Good morning to all my readers! grab your coffee and sit back, want to tell you so much but I will try to summarize. Been in the School of Supernatural Ministry now for 3 weeks. Everyone around the church told me that we all will  change so much during the first year. I didn't really understand. Then we started school. Pastor Bill and those who pastor with him carry around with them an attitude of fatherly love. You feel it when they preach, you feel it when you are in the room with them, you experience it when you are at school. They foster the presence of the Holy Spirit and His working, they make Him welcome in every gathering and with every word they share. He comes, (the Holy Spirit) and we are constantly impacted by His power and annointing and the unconditional love I am personally experiencing is off my map! Never felt this from so many people I hardly know! In addition, dreams, encounters with God in church or when we come together in small groups, have all increased dramatically. Is it because I sold all to come and receive and seek Him? I don't really know but the treasure in the center of the field is worth everything in life to pursue!!! If I have that treasure in my earthen vessel and somehow don't learn to  go out with power and invade the kingdom of darkness and rescue captives for the Lord, it is a waste of my life ( as I see it) . This is what I am learning...first to remember and relearn who I am in Christ, second to go out to a hurting world and gather the Lord's inheritance. For this, HE died, for people. So many don't know. So many have bad opinions  about Him. But He loves this world and is good all the time. His love in this place is going straight into my depths and causing me to wonder at Him and to thank Him and joy unspeakable and full of glory is mine many days....Come and taste and see that the Lord is good! Thank you all for listening. If you want to partake even a little, the podcast from Bethel church on Sundays is free...download itunes to your computer, then go the store and subscribe for free, to Bethel church sermons. Its truly a blessing from heaven to be here!!!!!
