a Miracle of Joy At Christmas???
Yea, its true, Tis the season. I know you have heard this for years. We should have joy because of what Jesus did for us. But have you ever felt more like Scrooge than a joyful Christian? and really tried hard not to? and really not succeeded and felt bad about it? Well, me too, take courage, lift up your head, your redemption draws nigh. God is closer than you think. IF you ever have asked Him to forgive you and take over your life and be in charge, then you became born again and the Spirit of the Living God came to live inside you and you became His Child.If not, well, now you know what to do. HE forgave all the sins you will ever commit and is aching for you to ask for forgiveness, so He can come into your life and make things new.. HE is a good God and wants only to bless you, take care of you, meet your needs, and love you. You might be saying, well it doesn't look that way to me because of all the bad things that have happened to me. I know, life can hit hard sometimes we have one evil one the world that can come to steal, kill and destroy..on the other hand God is always in a good mood, and always wants to bring life and life more abundantly. ( HE says so in the bible) Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and my burden is light. HE is gentle, kind and loves you. Ask the Gentle Savior to visit you this Christmas Eve, for He has a miracle in His hand and is waiting to bless you exceedingly, abundantly above all you ask or think. I pray right now that every reader reading this blog would experience His presence and His love and their needed miracles this Christmas and be blessed! HE really does love you. Ask Him!and Merry Christmas! Barb

An encouraging word if you are sick! by one of my favorite speakers....
Pray Up Your Immune System!
1 Corinthians 14:4
4He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself…
Many Charismatics believe that when you speak in tongues, you edify or build up your spirit man. Well, that is only one-third true. The Bible does not say that the speaker edifies his spirit. No, it says that the speaker “edifies himself”. This means his entire self — spirit, soul and body. So he who speaks in tongues builds up his spirit, soul and body.
Does this include building up your immune system? Yes, it does! Brain specialists at Oral Roberts University’s hospital found out through research and testing that when a person prays in tongues, his brain releases two chemicals that are directed to his immune system, giving it a 35 to 40 per cent boost. Interestingly, these secretions are triggered by a part of our brain that has no other apparent activity and which is activated only when we pray in tongues.
Now, your immune system is your first line of defense against diseases. During the SARS outbreak in Singapore in 2003, not everyone who had the disease died. Only those whose immune systems were weak succumbed to the disease and died. Therefore, many people resorted to vitamins and herbs to boost their immune systems.
A 74-year-old church member decided to build up his immune system against more heart problems. Two of his arteries were 70 per cent blocked and five smaller vessels were 80 per cent blocked. So during a church service, when I asked those who wanted to be healed of heart problems to stand up, he stood up, placed his hand over his heart and prayed in tongues.
He shared that at that moment, he believed that the Holy Spirit touched him and he became a different person. When he went for his medical check-up, his surgeon found that all the blockages in his blood vessels were gone! Even a scheduled heart-related operation was cancelled as there was no longer any necessity for it. Indeed, he was a different person. He literally had a change of heart, a new heart from God!
Beloved, you may not have a heart condition, but you can still pray in tongues and pray up your immune system!

Impossibilities
There is a gal in a wheelchair at our church and as you can imagine, lots of people want to pray for her on a regular basis and do so even on their own , because of course our church is into healing the sick! So the other day we heard a report that she was able to stretch her legs out in front of her which previously had not happened...the whole place went crazy praising God and laughing..we were so happy that God would answer. We are hearing numerous accounts of people going to the healing rooms on Saturday morn to be healed and while they are waiting for prayer, they are healed! One lady came to Redding to get prayer for cancer, and when she walked through the doors of the healing rooms, she was instantly healed! We have heard of several people who got healed of deaf ears at the same time, including someone who simply WALKED BY the healing rooms while prayer was going on and got healed of deafness! Lots of financial miracles coming through for students..one gal actually had a job made for at a place where she applied because they liked her so much! Ok, more on this later...praise the Lord for every good thing. God is alive and well and a very good God with goodness and love toward people all over the earth. I am thankful!

*HIM!*
Oh the might and beauty and wonder of our God! oh the hidden riches of knowing Him only to be searched out by the hungry and desperate soul! Oh the thousands of ways He comes to woo you into intmacy with Him! Oh the depths of love which are too deep and wide to begin to know on this side of eternity! I am in awe and wonder of my God and His love for me. Called out of darkness truly and into His light, truly. Called out of obscurity and little esteem, into security and as one highly valued. He is too wonderful for words. Why did He choose us? for companionship? for love? its too good a story to be true in our mortal thinking. Why would He suffer such torment, such hell for just us? Its incomprehensible! I am in love with Him! Jesus, King of Kings.
He is coming back soon to bring us home for glory. Its time to get right with Him, its time to gather in as many outcasts and broken as we can find on the highways and biways, so many dont know about the LOVE, so many don't know about the forgiveness and the wiping clean of the slate forever, so many dont know about the beauty for ashes, the adoption as sons and daughters, so many don't know about becoming someone with purpose and destiny and value when they were nothing before knowing Him. So many don't know He is the only way....Tell it this Christmas, shout from the mountain tops, shout from the street corners. God has sent His Only Son to rescue me and you. Such good news. Following Him sold out is the only way to great joy and happiness..You will not be dissappointed if you dare to give Him your life. You will find such treasure on the other side...(in this life) ...you will be Loved beyond your wildest imagination...He is calling your name right now. Merry Christmas!
