Lung Cancer (can't sir) and me

Finding it hard to breathe. Coughing incessantly, even blood. I finally went to an emergency room at our hospital.The nurse said that I should just go to my own doctor. I replied that my doctor had retired and there was a 2 year waiting list for a new doctor in Muskoka. Being a christian I called on the Lord to help me. Wow, then things started to speed up. 3 Doctors , one for the look see and one for the scan on my chest and another to have me admitted.

A tumour was discovered. High blood pressure, low thyroid and low magnesium, low potassium caused me to be put on several drugs. Then a trip by ambulance with a nurse to New Market to have a bronchoscopy by Dr. Toth who also stopped the bleeding. $240. later for the ambulance ride and I was back to Muskoka in bed with an added drug for an allergy reaction to rubber used on me in the New Market hospital. Prednazone was the prescription for 10 days which caused Thrush, so another majic pill to remedy that.

I was in a dilemma that was overcome by my precious daughter-in-law and my darling husband. I really needed a family physician so they went to plead and persuade Dr.Liao in Bracebridge for me.
That occurred in the week of Dec.13-21. After phone calls and new doctor appointments with Dr. Liao, I had to return to New Market for the diagnosis Dec 30.2015. A rare tumour with cancer (can't sir) was their finding in my right lung obtructing a wind pipe,causing a partially collapsed lung. I told Jesus. He said 'Hold on'! Death came near, very close.


Many visits to several hospitals and specialists and surgeons in Barrie and Toronto followed. Finally it was my decision. Do or die. I hoped for Jesus to show up and show His power to heal. I attended a couple of faith healing meetings where the preacher had 3 bouts of cancer and the Lord healed him of 2 of them, but the third required surgery.I came away knowing that the Lord had a surgeon for me.

Surgery was the only option as chemo and radiation had no power over this tumour that had grown into my windpipe and was cutting off the air to my right lung so much so that the upper lobe collapsed.
On April 14,2016 that part of my right lung was removed along with a piece of my windpipe that held the tumour, as well as some lymph nodes.

All was well and Corey, Murv my husband and Casey and Marianne saw me through it and after 3 months I am able to handle the pain.Much prayer from many sources was offered for me also.

Jesus was there for me,as were my family,especially my favorite daughter-in-law Marianne and my son Casey.They called daily after I came home,visited often and gave so much of their time and attention. I called on Jesus many times out of my pain. I also marvelled at the quick responses of the many doctors involved from many countries of this old world. Different shades,languages and religions, but very in tune to my plight.

As a christian I was very tempted to resign myself to my fate and leave this life through the cancer exit to enter a glorious place I had heard about since childhood. I reasoned that if God had not healed me, who was I to expect the medical community to do it.

'Death was just a part of life' my husband always said. But as I lay suffocating 24 hours a day, I realized that if it was a rotten tooth, I would have it removed. A very special young doctor in Barrie would not hear of me giving up and sent me to Toronto. The third surgeon we met at the Toronto General Hospital was very convincing and fully confident that he could do this procedure for me. So Dr.Cypel, true to his word was successful.

It has been 9 months now since surgery and several scans, xrays and bronchoscopies to date.I am getting better each week with my good husband supporting me constantly.Marriage works.Prayer is key to getting through. Appreciation for the medical staff in place for patients grows in us as a family.

It is just over a year and a half since I left that evil tumour in the keeping of research. I have not heard of any findings to date.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a new blood test finding that I have to see a specialist about. One of my 7 sisters has that same condition. It is a need of more thyroxin but must be monitored by said specialist. Hopefully that will bring my energy level up. Update; April 2018 and specialist says that there is no 'standard' , accepted help for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis but the thyroxin I am on needs to be doubled gradually. By Jesus' stripes I am healed definitely applies here. amen. I have released 15 fat pounds to date. HalleluYah !

Jesus is healing me day by day and time is on my side once again. I can trust Him to care for me until my last days here. The weight gain through all of this has been a concern and as I heal more I can concentrate on ridding this sweet body of the excess 77 lbs. A fatty liver condition will hopefully be eliminated by the PAI diet I use. Update; Oct.2,2018 My weight is down another 10 lbs. and the Hashimotos number has dropped with the prayers and meds working together. My strength is returning as I celebrated my 70th birthday happily thankful for our Lord Jesus helping me to hold on. I am breathing at 80% again.My blood pressure is almost normal.

We have had a lot of stress in these few years with family deaths, young and old,separations,church splits,a grandaughter working way far north in Nunavit,a forest fire in French River close to many of our families,wells dry, and sicknesses in several of our children and grandkids. We just keep holding on to Jesus and walking daily in faith believing for a great revival in Canada. If you are suffering similar things too just take it one day at a time and be thankful to be getting through together. Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers us out of them all.Amen!

2020 is upon us now with the covid 19 troubling the global community..Business losses, job losses, shutdowns, lockups, and many deaths among the elderly especially. I am 4 years from the operation that took the upper part of my lung and and a peice of my windpipe and lymph nodes.All is well and one more year to go to medically  proclaim that I am cancer free..HalleluYah!

It is July,2020 and life is still good to our family as it comes from our Saviour Jesus the Christ. I am learning to pray with positive promises of God and gratitude mixed with praises to our soon coming King of kings.The Lord is good to Dona Hatherley. Amen!

Resurrection Morning Moment

Jesus Christ was risen from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit working in Him.
What a shock to the many soldiers that were guarding the tomb.
Then angels awaiting His arrival watched His rejoicing with the newly acquired keys of death and of hell.
In order for the saints of God to see that He was indeed risen the angels rolled the sealed stone away.

Healed in That Hour

Because you know authority via experience you can readily believe in someone else's authority. If you are used to being obeyed you can understand how orders from the lips of others can be carried out to the letter. There is not doubt in your mind that consequences await any disobedience in a well ordered organization like the military. We expect that for every reward of obedience there is also a unreward for disobedience. Apply this to Jesus the Christ. Know that He is in charge and that what He says goes or else there are unhappy consequences. Loving your country enough to join in the protection of it qualifies you to obey the commands of those in charge. Loving the Lord Jesus, God's son enough to join His kingdom and expect His orders to be followed makes sense. Jesus is Commander in Chief with Father God Jehovah fully obeyed. Recognizing the authority of the Kingdom in Christ the King of kings is the only belief you need to full accept His words to cause things to line up and become. 'Ask and you shall receive' He says.'Expect the answer within the hour' is His reply. What a mighty God we serve. Within the hour is a wonderful relief for our waiting hearts. His word is truth He says and our expectations soar as we become aware that His promises are Yea and Amen.Ask for wholeness, receive wholeness. Ask for a healing, receive that healing in an hour. Sixty minutes or less is not a long wait. How awesome is He, our Lord and our King! You wonder what am I to base this word on? I refer you to His word in Matthew's telling of the day the centurion believed Jesus and received a healing for his child.Luke and John also wrote of it.Matthew 8:5 to 8:13, Luke 7:1-10 and John 4:43-5:54 are the passages in the holy scriptures. To believe in Jesus' yeas and amens in your hour of need is all it takes to receive your needs met. Hallelujah! He fully responds to that faith.He is amazed when He sees the belief you have in Him and His authority. Go ahead and amaze your wonderful Lord and Master and King. Give Him thanks profusely and praise His wondrous Name.

Ronda Cross Still Lives

The news broadcasts say that my sweet Ronda (Kryzanowski) Cross is dead.But I beg to differ as each time I cry alone for her I hear her saying "oh aunt Dona". She left us suddenly, unexpectantly, with no clue that such a beautiful life and spirit would NOW continue on the other side of death's door.
Her aunties were comforted individually with dreams and flash thoughts and her voice. Now she is so happy at last with her miscarried children and Jesus her savior. Now she is fulfilled as a mommy in a place of utter safety and paradise.
Would she return if the Lord offered? Maybe briefly but she so wanted her babies that leaving them would cause her grief. She now lives perfectly at rest in the arms of the Father and creator of us all. One day we will be joined back together physically and spiritually as a family. In the meantime we will treasure our memories of her unique personality, sense of fairness, giving soul.
Love will always pass between us as she looks down from the balcony of Heaven in the cloud of witnesses to cheer us onward and upward.
Such a remarkable person leaves a hole in earthly life unless you know Jesus and believe His promises about everlasting life being for us. We will be together again just praising the Lord for all His goodness and mercies.

Jesus is Still the Same

What has changed about our Lord Jesus? Nothing. Do we expect Him to act the same or do the same things as He did in His ministry here? Has He lost any power or has the Holy Spirit left Him?
Isaiah 61
1THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, 2To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] [a]and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
3To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
Jesus accepted the scroll of Isaiah at
the place where it was written,(Luke 4:18-22)
18The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity],

19To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord [the day [l]when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound.
20Then He rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing [attentively] at Him.

21And He began to speak to them: Today this Scripture has been fulfilled [m]while you are present and hearing.

22And all spoke well of Him and marveled at the words of grace that came forth from His mouth;

2 Peter 3:8
Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.
TIMELESS..

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).

Did the Spirit of the Lord ever leave Jesus? NO
Has He ever changed? NO
How long is a year with God? TIMELESS
Therefore Jesus is still healing, delivering and telling the poor that He is still there for them. Hallelujah !!!

We are poor in many ways especially in spirit and soul and in body.

What is in a Name?

For instance in Muskoka here we use the name of Norman Bethune to attract visitors worldwide. His name as a surgeon who helped folks in wars gives Canada a nice taste in the mouth of global citizens who are christian and communist.
He did not live to a ripe old age but what he accomplished on earth was amazing. As a pastor's son he knew about Jesus who also lived a short life here but impacted the entire world.
What is in a name seems to carry a lot of clout here and about. Hopefully the positive outweighs the negative. I wonder about using my last married name or sticking to my maiden name if I am to be famous. Perhaps only my first and second names should be known then the buck will stop here with me instead of going on through the families.
We hope to have a great and wonderful effect on this old world that lasts for eternity. How this comes about only our Lord knows and daily brings it into being. A name of reknown takes a lifetime to build and may only become famous after our death. The nice thing about it is the ties that bind other folks together because of who we are or were.
I guess that the main thing is the main thing after all. Be who we are and be all we can be. Leave the rest to destiny and fate that is resting in the hands of the Lord Jesus.

What do you do When?

We are told from our youngest days that Daddy will take care of our troubles. Daddy will fix it and Mommy will make it better with a hug and a kiss. Eat this and you will feel good again or watch this movie or read this book and your troubles will pass, we are advised as we age. In our oldest stages we hear things like it is okay, just another bump in the road.

There has to be something more original, more secure, more in keeping with who we are. There is surely a better way to handle our many trials, tribulations and unwarranted attacks on our persons. Life has to have a positive for every negative. Every natural has to have a supernatural too.

I have found that if I am overwhelmed by a sister's cancer, a mother's invalid state, a daughter's divorce, grandchildren's dilemmas, dying cousins my own age, dying friends of days gone by and daily news reports of wars and natural disasters that are happening all together in one time slot, I must have help. I must know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for me.

It turns out there is a light to focus on and the name of the light is Jesus Christ. If I follow His leading I will come out of all of this in good condition. If I try to work it all out I will go insane and my body will get sick onto death. So I choose to follow and live myself.

Jesus has a Daddy, Father God who He is willing to share and He will ask Daddy God to not only fix things but kiss us all better.
If we love Him He will work all things for our good. I do love Him and expect Him to bring good out of all this calamity.

This is called faith and it is activated by calling on the Lord God Almighty of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob, our modern day Israel. Why suffer alone and lose the battles of life when we can have Father God the great Jehovah lifting us up out of despair and holding us close to His heart?

Jesus walks on water with us and calms the storms.Jesus Christ is the way and we can stick to Him getting where we need to be at precisely the right time. In chaos Jesus tells us to focus on Him and see that our hope is in God alone.His other names are Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace.
Jesus is all of these and more than enough for every human being on the earth and in Heaven.Call on Him, follow Him and rise above every circumstance imaginable.

Calling All the Hatherley Tribe

According to John's revelation he saw us before the throne of God at the feet of Jesus the lamb of God, His Son. Jesus the Christ was slain to redeem us to God. So I am calling all of the Hatherleys back to the God of their forefathers who loves us all dearly. Our forefathers, our grand parents loved and served God the Father, Jehovah, God the Son, Jesus and His Holy Spirit.

The Lord remembers those who preached the gospel and those who interceeded for them. Our God has not forgotten the horse riders who went from town to town to encourage all men to turn to Jesus. Today He is saying to the now living Hatherleys, 'come back'. Come back to God the Father through his Son Jesus by way of His Holy Spirit's empowering.

The Heavenly Father draws us to Jesus, who saves us by His death and resurrection and fills us with His Holy Spirit. Let yourselves be drawn to Jesus. Let yourselves be saved and set free. Allow the Lord Jesus to fill you with His Holy Spirit. He will enable you to love God and yourself as well as others. He will empower you to forgive all others as well as yourself.

He says that without Him (Jesus) we cannot do it. With Him we can do all that He says we can do. Come !!! As surely as you are a Hatherley and belong to this tribe, you are also a christian's grandchild. Follow in your grand parents footsteps that lead you to Jesus' feet then into His strong carpenter's arms of love, mercy and grace. Hurry home to where you belong. Do not procrastinate. The call is for now. The message is clear. Listen !!!

Home is in the hearts of those who truly love you. The Father's heart, Jesus' heart and the Holy Spirit's heart. Leave me a comment with your name and place in the family. Make a now decision if you do not know Jesus as your Savior yet.
He says 'call upon Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you do not know.'

The Blood Trail of Jesus Christ

The world is trying so hard to keep God out of the government and
the religions of the world and every day life as well as nature. How
can it be when Jesus claimed it all the day that He gave His life for
all?
When we follow the trail of blood that Jesus shed our understanding
of His redeeming plan opens up for the earth and the people. It started in the garden of Gethsemane as Luke the doctor that followed Jesus as his savior, states . Luke 22:44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Nature received the drops of redemption gladly .Jesus was arrested here in the garden and taken to the governing body of the religious order in Jerusalem the capitol city of the world to be.
He was beaten by those who should have embraced His presence and again His blood trail continued on to the government of the enemy Pilate who represented the world leader.The soldiers of Pilate continued the bloodshed in an unmerciful fashion by scourging. As a Galilean Jesus was sent to the visiting Herod from His region whose only interest in the miracle worker
was to get more miracles that would personally entertain the ruler.Jesus' blood continued to impact the rich and famous until He was condemned to death by His own people and religious leaders.
Through the streets of Jerusalem His blood dropped steadily redeeming as He weakly climbed the hill of Golgotha to Calvary.Crucifixion, a thorny crown,the scourging of 39 stripes with
the whips released His ownership of all things and all peoples. Paid in blood was God's plan and it worked.Wherever Jesus walked that day opened the way for salvation. It included nature, religion, prison, government, market place, the common man, the capital's streets and the highway to the world, the place of the skull (death), the grave and finally the mercy
seat of God in Heaven.
How dare we even try to eliminate the presence of the Son of the Great Jehovah God after His payment of the redemption of all things. We can all have the greatest hope of eternal life by accepting our redeemer as Lord and Savior.Even our finances were covered as the money His betrayer got was thrown on the temple floor and used to buy the Field of Blood to bury strangers in.Matthew 27:8.
If we need help in any of these areas we can count on Jesus to give us His personal attention and aid. His trail of shed blood was exactly what we need to know about and adopt into our own lives. Let Him in gladly as the owner of all.

SUICIDE as a Way Out?

Suicide as a Way Out
At any age or stage of life people are committing suicide. Why? What reasons are that strong? How can one even consider such a huge opt out?

As a young mother of three children and another on the way I reached a point of despair. The work load was too great and the finances too small. I was prolific and birth control measures were not effective.A young teen in our community had just been successful at taking his own life that was pre planned, journalled and laid out in his art work. In my desperate state of mind I reasoned that if he could do it so could I.As I contemplated on how and when and taking my kids with me, I heard an voice that reminded me that I was not my own but His.

I replied to Him that if He wanted this life He was welcome to it as I was so unable to cope anymore. I gave up my rights to myself again and put myself and my children into His hand of love and mercy and grace.I was spared the shame of opting out of this arena and our families were spared the awful grief, accusations and guilt that follows them for the rest of their lives.

Because I believe in God the Heavenly Father, the Great Jehovah and His Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit I was saved from self destruction. Without them I would have caved in to the exit. If the Father of all living had not spoken to me at that precise moment the hell I would have encountered whether I lived or died would have ruined me forever.
Being old and full of days I have since heard of and seen many families destroyed because of a member of their clan or a friend feeling that life was not worth living anymore and so going through death's door into eternity. Troubled souls abound in our time in every country on the face of the earth. Only the realization of God's capable ways can save any of us.

Knowing that the Lord of all is on our side and wanting to deliver us from fear and our inabilities we can go on daily expecting Him to intervene for us. As I gave up to Jesus my future He sent a lady that knew my husband to visit me. When she saw that my house was a terrible mess and I was looking pale and tired she went into action and faithfully came weekly to my aid. She even went to my husbands boss and explained that my husband needed to take some time for us and go on a holiday.Jesus overdelivers all the time. This dear lady asked for nothing and gave us clothing for our kids. Her husband lent us money to buy a car paying it back one hundred dollars a month. Her only suggestion was to pass on the favors when we were able to some other needy family, which we have done several times already and will continue to do.

Suicide is not an option for any christian as it makes our God seem to be unable to keep us well in our minds. It also shows us how much faith in His love we lack. God forgives us of all sin except one and that is against His Holy Spirit. As we ask Him to forgive our unbelief, He will, and fill us with more understanding to trust Him daily to provide everything we need for our spirits, souls and bodies.We need to pass on the love and forgiveness to all others as well. That is what He suggests strongly. He says that if we forgive others their tresspasses, He will forgive ours. No suicide needed! Forgiven we deserve more chances at life and living His way forever.

Why Gold, why Jewels?

In the outpourings of the Holy Spirit we have noted many miracles, signs and wonders.
Some healings and miracles we understand as they were terribly needed or death was imminent.But the gold fillings and the gold teeth and the gold dust on people and their clothing has been a questioned item.

Also there have been jewels and precious stones appear in folks hands and laps and on floors. What can all this mean? I have accepted it as a sovereign act of God lavishing love on His children until I read about the original temple that King Solomon built . In 2 Chronicles chapters 3 and 4 the description of what was added to the structure in the form of decorating at a cost of over 600 million (600,000,000) dollars is staggering. Everything was covered in the purest gold with precious stones on the walls too. Carvings on walls and doors and elaborate wreathing of gold and silver.

All of that has changed hands as the temple was destroyed. The later rebuilding of temples for the Lord God Almighty were not as wonderful and costly. As I pondered about the reasoning for our modern day happenings in God's people both Jew and Gentile, it came to me that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit and we can expect that He will do things to build us up in body , soul, and spirit. As a gift giver He will lavish on His temples whatever He pleases. The more we spend time in His presence, the more we can expect.

Soaking in His presence for hours at a time is becoming more natural to the church that follows Jesus closely. In soaking in the Glory of the Lord wonderful healings and freedom from addictions come. So it seems that the Lord is comfortable with gold as He paves His streets with it and at times covers us with it as well (gold dust that is). The precious stones are in His walls in the New Jerusalem of Heaven and Jesus has always shared with His own. Expecting signs and wonders because we belong to Him is becoming our way.

Because He possesses what is His and will decorate and care for anyone that truly wants to be so loved and accepted in the beloved, we will keep on spending time with Him. I have a son that has to have infusions periodically. He has to stay still for a few hours to receive the drugs that he needs to help alleviate some symptoms of anklosing spondilitis. As we stay in the presence of our Lord we will experience infusions of His Spirit too. Check your mouth from time to time to see fillings turn to gold or new fillings and gold teeth. I did and I was both pleased and satisfied.

As to the carvings I wonder if the tattoos are part of that as lots of Christians are getting art in the skin using their bodies like a canvas to express their beliefs.

I hope this answers your questioning heart about gold, jewels and carvings etc. in the believers in Christ Jesus. I felt that some could be missing out on the unusual as they have their Christian beliefs in a box and uncertainty prevents them from indulging in the soaking places around the world. I urge you to try putting on some Christian music and lay comfortably before the Lord and say to Him 'Come Holy Spirit, and pour into me and decorate your temple however You please.' Stay a while and then a while longer in worship and praise and adoration. He will come and love on you His way.

Healing Rooms

'Healing Rooms' are springing up all over the world as more believers in Christ Jesus reach out to a hurting, sick world. You will find them in the smallest and largest communities ready and willing to pray off the illnesses and diseases that plague us in every stage and every level of life.

Jesus came to give us abundant life and He has not changed His mind. As time goes on we can expect many people to be free of all their distressing ailments as they trust Jesus to do it for them. The Healing Rooms are designed to give us a place and a time via appointment to meet in prayer with Jesus and volunteer believers. Together we can agree for our healing, deliverance and salvation .

Thank God Jehovah and His Son, Jesus Christ who through the Holy Spirit bring us this joyful way of receiving our health and strength to enjoy the true abundant life and living. The same way we go for a doctor to help us we can turn to the Lord to tell Him of our problems in every area of our lives. He really is a great Savior and Lord of our bodies, souls and spirits.

The rooms are easily found and should be easily accessible for wheel chairs and crutches. The folks who do the praying with us are trained to agree in prayer, not to diagnose, treat or counsel us. We can rest assured that no harm is done and every individual is kindly accepted. If need be we can go back as often as we will until all the symptoms disappear.

No charge for any time spent there is applied. Jesus said " Freely you have received, freely give." These rooms may have a rental fee but they are gladly paid for by many offerings that other thankful friends give. Any fears or misgivings leave us as we enter the first waiting room and listen to some relaxing music. Sometimes you are healed in this room as Jesus can not be boxed in to any set way of doing His work.

There will always be more than one person with you in the next room to agree in prayer as well as other prayer people elsewhere believing God to do His healing. I myself have experienced the laying on of hands as they pray. I have received a wondrous healing from fear, anxiety, worry and stress concerning driving or riding in an automobile. The tension I had felt previous to this prayer time was painful. My head would pound with pain and my back would tighten up. Confusion at any movement outside of my car in traffic reigned. I needed help.

Many have experienced and enjoyed and even took the course to join in prayer to help others. Jesus always accepts us as His followers to go and give back what we can by reaching out to the needy and suffering. There are no denominational barriers or race, culture or age limits. There is no christian, jewish, buddhist,islamic,moslem or other requirements to receive prayer. Way to go Church!

Muskoka Healing Rooms is where I took some training so that I too could help others for Jesus. My time is well spent and I receive no monies or rewards except for the utter joy of serving the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus the Christ , Son of the true and living God. Hallelujah!

Beginning Signs and Wonders

Mary must have seen Jesus doing private signs, wonders and miracles and so decided He must share His ability with others. Why wine? What is the significance of water into wine? Wine affects your spirit and can cause your heart to sing and be merry. It is also a cleanser, relaxer, restorer and all round comfort if not overdone. Mary instructed the servants to do whatever Jesus said.

Six waterpots were used. Six being the number of man. We were carried in water in our mothers wombs and now Jesus commands us to be born again or be carried in spirit or new wine of the Holy Spirit. John baptized in water but Jesus baptizes in the Holy Spirit and fills us just like a waterpot to the brim.

"Draw some out now and take it to the Master of the feast." Jesus says in John 2:8. When people draw on spirit filled followers of Jesus it is like a sweet wine with all the benefits of peace and joy that we experience when we are filled to the brim. Signs, wonders and miracles do happen as a result of expecting from a person fully yielded and filled to the brim. As a spirit filled individual with the new wine of the Holy Ghost we must always get a refill after moving in the workings of the Lord.

We manifest His glory when we allow the Master to brim us up and draw on us to help others. This is happening 'big time' in Lakeland , Florida in the new outpouring of the Holy Spirit with the Todd Bentley team. Todd tells folks to come and receive or get filled up to take back to their nation and let others draw on them for their infilling for healing, needs, miracles,and comfort. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter.

The healing rooms springing up all over the world are manifesting the glory of Jesus as they pray and lay hands on the sick and crippled and diseased. Every person carried by the Holy Spirit can offer their time and prayers and laying on of hands to the lost and dying world. Refilling is a must and Jesus will see to it as He requires us to be continually filled with purpose for others.

Let there be a beginning of signs in each filled person to affect the rest of God's creation. Doing whatever Jesus tells us to do with each case and trusting Him to fulfill His word to never leave us nor forsake us. Amen!

Journaling with Jesus

Amazing grace flows from the heart of the Lord towards His children and as we wait for Him to speak, He will! We can write it down and read it later. It is so wondrous what He says to us as His love cannot help but reach out and enjoy His children. Sometimes or most times we get the answer to our petition or a new idea or an interpretation to a dream we had. There is nothing quite so thrilling when you see it come to pass according to the words you wrote from Jesus. Such bliss knowing He cares enough to listen and respond.

 Journaling opens up a whole new way of learning about ourselves from God's perspective. On our own level we miss a lot of things that stand out to others and Jesus. He wants to train us up in the way that we should go to accomplish our destinies. Authors understand the need to suddenly write whatever comes to their minds and Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. He writes on our hearts and reveals what He has put there to us as we write. A lot of mysteries exist in this life and the Lord of Glory is the solver of all of them. There is nothing that He does not know and is willing and able to let us in on.

 The ideas we have about things depend on our past and our history. Especially in relationships we draw conclusions of our own about people based on where we have been with them in our daily walk of life. But Jesus understands changes in people that take place in the heart. He has a profound sense of what it is we should say and do in our relationships that can become strained if we react out of yesterdays involvement instead of where they are at now. When we ask the Lord to give us the reason why a certain person is acting the way that they presently are and journal it with Jesus we are startled at the reply. I have had ugly occasions where I was confounded as to how to react. On one of those happenings Jesus told me that the person was feeling unappreciated and used. The solution was simple and it worked quite well. As I expressed gratitude to that one the atmosphere changed totally around. I was really glad that I listened to God, the Lord and applied what seemed undeserving for that other person but was deeply needed.

 Jesus knows how it is all supposed to work and as we obey Him, because we love Him, the changes are miraculous. As a result of hearing and following through with God we find that He will share future events with us as well. This is an awesome time! His sharing is not that we should do something about the situation but that we should know that we are trusted and forewarned in some cases. I hate to miss these journaling mornings as they enthuse and excite me to be in His presence knowingly. I write this piece of information to recommend to all that Jesus is waiting for you to take the time to call with expectancy. He does want you to know what is in your own heart from His heart.

Perfectionism

I never thought it possible to be perfect or have perfectionism allotted to me as I am laid back and passive and have a live and let live attitude. How about you? Does it seem that perfect is a description of you and your ways? You might be very surprised who calls you perfect.

My eldest son, the genius was on his way out the door for a busy day of appointments. I asked him what it meant to be perfect to which he replied that he did not know but had a feeling that I was ready to tell him. I was indeed and excited to relay the message of God to him.
Being perfect would seem impossible in this world but God says all things are possible if you believe. When one says it is a perfect fit for them when they are considering a new challenge you automatically think that it must meet their exact specifications for their lifestyle, talents and favourite things to do.

Perfectionists work at a thing until it is exactly how they want it to be. To them it is now perfect. Parents expect their children to be perfect and get everything right at least the second time. To feel perfect one has no health concerns, no social battles, no upcoming financial upheavals and certainly no zits.
To have a perfect wedding one must manage to bring at least a dozen people into harmony along with a hundred details that please the bride and bridegroom. The weather must cooperate and the guests must time it just right to attend the ceremony. The gifts must be only what they need or ask for.

None of these describe being perfect like Jesus Christ does. According to His word in the Holy Bible in
Matthew 5:43-48 (King James Version) it is actually a possible thing to be perfect by obeying Him.

43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Love is a choice we make. We do not love the acts of the enemy but the person or persons. Loving someone as a mother, brother, father, sister or brother , a friend must happen to fulfill the Lord's word and to be perfect like Father God Jehovah.
Doing good and blessing our enemies requires action as in rebuilding a country after a war. Giving food to those who hate us can often bring about a friendship. Praying for and not against our haters seems like a tough call but the Father honors such prayers and places His seal of approval on the words of our mouth concerning them.

After preaching this word of perfection, Jesus did all that He commands us to do . He died on a cross after much persecution , curses, hatred from His own people, and prayed that all of this would not be held against them and they would all be forgiven. Perfect Jesus the Christ now enables us to do the same.

Many missionaries are now in our time being perfect as their Father in heaven is. Many laymen and women are loving unto their death and praying that the slayers not be held accountable for these crimes.
Some men and women are married to their enemies and loving their spouses to the end of their lives. Such love is truly tested and tried daily wearing on the souls but strengthening the spirts of just men made perfect. The choice to obey Jesus Christ our example is becoming more and more prevalent. Love's way is God's way because God is love.

Expect to be given opportunities to practice loving your enemies in spite of themselves. As a christian look for, go out of your way to find and bless an enemy or persecuter or hater or and abusive user. Obedience will bring a smile to your face, a humming in your heart and energy to your spirit as it feeds on Father's approval.

Different When Jesus Christ Comes?

In the Bible there is a story told of a time when a wicked queen was destroyed with her belief system as well as her followers.2 Chronicles 23:17 (King James Version)
Public Domain

17Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
Destroying the house of her god Baal brought the question to mind 'will it be any different when Jesus comes to rule and reign on the earth as King of kings and Lord of lords?'

Destroying the houses and priests of abortion, whoredom, gambling, terrorists, deceit, debauchery, hypocrisy, plagerism, buddha, islam, hinduism, publishers of evil, evil movie makers of filth and fashion, pornography even churches that do not follow the Lord Jesus and love God truly is certain.

The earth will be cleansed of all evil and the Lord's house will be honored and lifted up. No more time nor place will be given to any form of ungodliness.

Jesus the Christ will rule with a rod of iron. Correction will come. No escaping His will, His way, His plan. His word will be followed and carried out to the letter. Nothing can be left undone. No one can be lawless any more.The God of the universe will have His way in all things, in all places. What a great day for all the saints and angels of the Lord. Hasten the glorious day Lord God Almighty our Father in Heaven.

The coming of the Lord Jesus is closer than when we believed in Jesus as Christ and Lord. Each day will be gathered in His sight and held accountable for all deeds done good or bad. Wow ! Oh that it were today! Oh that it were now! Come quickly Lord Jesus !!!

Are you ready to see the day of the Lord come? Have you had enough of the wickedness of man? Can you even grasp the awe and splendor of the earth as it truly worships God as King, Jesus as Lord, Holy Spirit as Master. A whole new atmosphere is coming. A wholeness on the earth as at the beginning. Father God in charge! Jesus our Savior ruling and reigning in all of His glory, Holy Spirit empowering all the saints to reign with Jesus!

What a day that will be! What a time to be living on the earth! A thousand years of peace and freedom to do His will! That is fifteen life times for man. Excellent the plans of the Lord God Almighty! Hallelujah!

Investing in companies that destroy and clean up buildings would probably be the way to go . Sudden destruction for theses evil places is imminent. Maybe the angels will be given the job eh? So what do you think? Will it be any different when Jesus comes?
