FALL SCHOOLHOLIDAY............and prayer request!

Ecclesiastes 8:15 (The Message)

 ¹⁵ So, I'm all for just going ahead and having a good time—the best possible. The only earthly good men and women can look forward to is to eat and drink well and have a good time—compensation for the struggle for survival these few years God gives us on earth.


Monday evening we where here. Free entry to a soccer game from the Youth of AJAX  ( prof city club) against PSV. Our city club lost, but the kids and dad had the time of there life ( I joined the club *smile*)



Yesterday we had fun at "Dam Square"
Just lookup a video to gave you an impression and stumble on this one



I stumble on more by looking at this video about 2 imprisontments of 2 Christian young woman Maryam Rostampour and Marzieh Esmaeilabad

Let's pray for them and there request "TO STAND!!
Or send an letter to the embassy of there country.
In this video you see an request to do this.



I was just thinking how the theme and composing of this post is turning from the sheer JOY  talking about having GOOD TIME and that God wants us to have that because our days on earth are counted!


But the same time He calles us not to close our eyes and to have COMPASSION and PRAY and be active in anyway we can to help and care for others......


Blessings to all of you have a Godfilled day!

~ Prayer for Compassion ~

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." --Colossians 3:12-13

Lord, help us to remember that others don't always see the way we do, hear what we hear, feel what we feel, or understand things the way we've come to understand them. You give each of us gifts that are uniquely ours but so often we fail to value the gift in another, judging other gifts as wrong or somehow less important than our own. Give us the compassion you want us to have, O Father, and teach us to embrace each other with compassionate arms, no matter what our age, color, creed, history, or belief. Help us to remember that you are Life Itself, and that you are using every one of our unique gifts to bring us together with you once again. How long has it been since we walked in someone else's shoes? Today, we can honor and respect those people we meet who come from different backgrounds, travel on different roads, choose different lifestyles, express themselves differently, or come from other parts of the world. We can look at them with eyes of love and know that our differences show the unique character of our individual gifts, but the life that animates us--the light at the center of our souls--comes from one source, the source we all share.

FEARLESS FRIDAY @ reflect on Thankfull Thursday " The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. ~Psalm 51:17 "

Yesterday was THANKFUL THURSDAY
Today Is FEARLESS FRIDAY....

Yesterday night i was overwhelmed by my day and probably ( i can better say i know!!) of myself.....My week was a battle ( struggle) in myself  to slain my flesh!! Yes i am on a journey at S.U.M " The Mind of Christ experiment  " 
Yes i see the works of my flesh......irritation...getting angry to easily.....being impatient.....feeling frustrated by my kids..why??

Is it this what is talked about yesterday as the theme of TT
I think sometimes it takes us a lifetime to realize we are truly entitled to very little. Entitlement mentality leads to expectations. Unmet expectations lead to disappointment which leads further down the slippery slope to frustration, anger, bitterness…..
Sometimes we can become overwhelmed with our current circumstances and forget the riches right before our eyes. I have found one sure fire way to pull your entitlement mind into proper perspective, God’s perspective.
SERVE
Take a look around in your own corner of the world. You will find so many not only in need physically but many who are struggling spiritually in worse, much worse situations than your own. So, today I am thankful the Lord has allowed me to serve others. To be the arms and heart of Jesus.
Today I am thankful for the riches right before my eyes.
I am entitled to death and hell. But I have been given a free gift of an awesome life right now and life in heaven.
How amazing is that?
What are the riches right before your eyes?
Be Blessed, Lynn 

 To bring my mind in proper perspective is to achive ( work on) a servant heart!! So true ( a "light bulb" is going on while reading this...) I was wondering why i can serve with endless patient my elderly patients at work...and why i get frequently impatient at home...??!!

Oke at home i can show my "uglyface" more safely...lol between my loveones than at my workplace my mind is reasoning!!

I notice this "expectation thing" and getting disappointed in relationship to my family members......I see God started to work already at my heart in my relationship with my husband....when things nearly went "out of hand" some years ago......

So now i need to work things out in my relationship with my kids! ( Thank You Lord for this "light bulb"...)

So what are the riches in front of my eyes??

• My Life now healthy , i believe the physical setbacks on the moment is to appreciate my healthy body more conciousely and stirred to take care better for it..be fit in Jesus Spiritually and physically.....
• To be able to read,share and think about God's word
• The gift of my kids to learn to serve them
• The gift of my husband to learn to serve him and to grow together in Christ to serve Him with our lifes........
• The gift of my work to love on the elderly and to serve them.Pray i be more an open channel and witness for the lord when i work with them.
• I have a roof above my head and food on our table
• Last but not least richeness in front of me is the oppurtunities to buildup friendships and relationships with other christians through the internet

 This last brings me on what is today FEARLESS FRIDAY!!

A day where bloggers commit to pray for eachother.The home of this is at "FREE SPIRIT HAVEN" Thanks Angela for doing this and your standing in the gap with your prayers.

I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loose in heaven. Again I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in My name, there am I with them. Matthew 18:18-20


“They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.” ~ Psalm 112:7-8 NLT

"Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT

AMEN AMEN to those verses who are the verses for this day to encourage us to be FEARLESS on our Journey!!

While writing i remember my prayer/reflecting post last tuesday :

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. ~Psalm 51:17 

Refiners Fire

There are times in our lives where we are in the refiner's fire. There's nothing in it that's comfortable, but the showers of His soothing rain brings comfort and peace in the midst of the drilling and dealing.The Good news is,you will come out refined and refreshed if you hang in there.....He will not allow you to go through anything that He knows you can not handle....

Let it burn! 

Preciouse Lord burn all of what needs to be burned away in this " earth vessel" o You.Our savior,our redeemer, our healer, our friend !

We humbly come before your throne...with the request s of our own and the request of our blogfriends, our family members......All the persons who come on our way and touched our heart to lift them up in prayer.....

We need You Lord Jesus...to save,to heal and to redeem out of the hands of the evil one...

Break down...what needs to be broken down.....

and

restore what need to be restored...

Your Kingdom come,

Your will be done father.....on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Amen.

 

WFW~ Cast YOUR NET on THE RIGHT SIDE~

And HE said to them

"Cast the net on the right side of the boat,and you will find some."

John 21 :6

CAST YOUR NET ON THE RIGHT SIDE ( Greg Olsen)

After spending the entire night unsuccessfully fishing on the sea of Tiberias, some of the disciples heard a voice calling from the shore. In the early light of dawn they saw the figure of a man beside a small campfire. The man encouraged them to cast their net on the right side of their boat. Though it probably seemed that such a small adjustment would avail them little, the disciples followed his admonition and ventured a try. Perhaps there was something familiar about his voice and his simple request that subdued their unbelief.

The disciples were rewarded for their simple act of faith with a huge draft containing a “multitude of fishes”, so great that their net could scarcely keep from bursting! With this miracle came the recognition that the figure beside the fire was the Risen Lord. The heartened disciples came ashore, there to enjoy a breakfast of bread and fish prepared by Jesus himself.

What an amazing way to start the day! Imagine being fed, warmed and invited to bask in the glow of the “Light of the World”. With a simple act of faith we can do the same and greet each new dawn nourished and warmed by the fire of His spirit!

Today there is also an devotion on this verse at S.U.M. 

Hop on to Lori's for more WFW entries. God bless!!!

 

PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOURS!!

Father in the name of Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, I pray you open doors for the person who sent me this as well as those I am sending it to. Only you can open doors no man can close and for that we honour you today. Thank you for the open doors of life, health, strength, prosperity, wealth, and love. Also, thank you for closing the doors of death, sickness, weakness, despair, poverty, and bitterness. We love you today Lord and give you all the glory and all the praise. I seal this prayer in Jesus ‘name, Amen!!!

If you need God to open a door, pray this prayer and for those you are sending it to. Believe in your heart and you shall receive what God has for you.

I need a door to open...

God closes doors no man can open & God opens doors no man can close. Even if you do not need God to open some doors for you pass it on anyway.

"To have God in our side doesn't mean sailing on a boat with no storms, it means having a boat that no storm can sink!"



HAVE A BLESSED DAY….

The Lord is Gracious & Compassionate

"COMPASSION"

@

THE PROVERBIAL SUNRISE

That the compassion received by God will flow out of our own heart to others...
( out of wikipedia).

Compassion in action: an 18th-century Italian depiction of the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

The Christian Bible's Second Epistle to the Corinthians is but one place where God is spoken of as the "Father of compassion" and the "God of all comfort" (1.3). The life of Jesus embodies for Christians the very essence of compassion. Christ's example challenges Christians to forsake their own desires and to act compassionately towards others, particularly those in need or distress. Jesus assures his listeners in the Sermon on the Mount that, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." In the Parable of the Good Samaritan he holds up to his followers the ideal of compassionate conduct.
True Christian compassion, say the Gospels, should extend to all, even to the extent of loving one's enemies.
Our Lady of Compassion is a feast day celebrated by Roman Catholics to honor the Theotokosas

Cartwheels in Heaven ~ One of my blogreadings~

12 Oct 2009
Tracie Miles

"But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love." Psalm 33:18 (NIV)

Something was missing. I tried to write, but no words came. I tried to focus, but my attention wandered. I tried to pray, but words were few.

I finally realized what was missing: hope.

My sweet sister has been fighting a battle with Multiple Sclerosis for twelve years. Each day brings new difficulties, new hurts, new medicines, and new reasons to lose hope. As I watched her struggle day after day, my heartbreak became overwhelming, and I had lost sight of any reason to be hopeful.

One day recently as I chatted with my sister, she told me about a dream she had the night before. In this dream, she was running, doing cartwh eels, and playing rambunctiously with her children. She said the dream seemed to last for hours, and she vividly remembered laughing and feeling happy.

Then she woke up. To reality. A reality where she can barely walk, much less run. A reality where carefree romping and playing is nothing more than a memory. A reality filled with pain, disappointment and a lack of hope. She awoke and cried.

I've prayed for her healing so many times that I've wondered if God is tired of hearing it. I've pleaded with Him to give her comfort and peace. I've pressured Him for discernment and a glimpse of His plan so I can understand her plight.

I've found myself wondering if hope is realistic when a situation appears hopeless? Is physical healing possible, when all odds seem against it? Is comfort and freedom from pain attainable, when every cell inside a body is raging a war against itself? Is peace actually available for those who find no end to the hurting?

In my quest to find an answer, I looked up the definition of hope: The feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best; to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence; to feel that something desired may happen. And the last definition said this, to continue to hope, although the outlook does not warrant it.

As I pondered that, my spirit leapt. This was the meaning God wanted me to understand today.
Thinking back on the prior week, I could see how God had filled my days with gentle, subtle reminders of hope through verses, emails, and devotions. He had heard the cries of my heart. I felt His Spirit leading me to a place of truly believing in the hope that only He can offer, even when the earthly outlook does not warrant it.

He had been sweetly nudging me to seek hope in Him. To allow His reassurance to saturate my heart, and fill that empty, dry space. I was reminded that hope is as essential for survival as food and water . Hope is life-giving.

My sister's 10 year-old daughter responded to her dream that morning. She told mommy not to be sad, because one day they could do cartwheels in heaven together. Upon hearing this, I felt hot tears and caught a glimpse of unfailing, eternal hope—right out of the mouths of babes.
Whether any of us do cartwheels on earth, or in heaven, is God's decision. But hope begins in believing that He was, is, and will forever be the source of our hope.

Sweet Jesus, forgive me for losing sight of where true hope is found. Infuse my heart and mind with the hope that can only be found in You. Please quench my thirst for understanding with reassurance of Your faithfulness. I ask that You guard my heart from the temptation to focus on the problem, instead of the One who holds everything in His hands. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

The Clay.....The Potter...........Refiner's fire......

To all the pots that heard the good news and responded to the truth the Potter sent His Spirit of truth to guide and bear witness that they truly were children of the Potter. He said to them," Like clay in the hand of the potter,so are you in my hand"( Jeremiah 18:^). Because these redeemed pots had been molded by this world, He had to remake them in His image. These new creations could not be made by there own, but they would have an important part to play in becoming more and more like the Potter.Although they would have many other useful purposes  for remaining on planet earth,nothing was more important to the Potter than to have all His redeemed pots free from there awful past and become pure like Him........

Picture's and texts i came across while meditating on " The mind of Christ "

I follow a journey together with other ladies for 30th days at S.U.M

Spiritual Sunday ~" THE POTTER "~

This morning i was contemplating God's transforming power in us as Christians.....
The picture of God "The Potter" entered my mind, and i am the clay..!
My hand stretched out  to my bookshelf at a book, with a similar picture as above on it with the name "GOD'S POWER AT WORK IN YOU" written by N.Anderson and R Saucy
I believe i started reading this book some years ago,but did not finish it....So i opened  it to look in  the 1st pages and got a surprise ..... I share it today with you...

God's Desire for You

A long time ago the infinite and eternal Creator sat down at His potter's wheel as He had so many times before.Everything He had made so far was very good,but this time He had something else in mind. He wanted to create something in His own image. Something, or better, someone who could personally relate to Him.
The Potter had already fashioned living beings to inhabit planet earth,but this new creation would be different. Far more significant than all other earthen vessels,this new creation would be fruitful and multiply and rule over all the other created beings who flew in the sky,walked on the earth,or swam in the seas.


So He took a globe of clay and placed it on His wheel. As the wheel began to turn,He placed His thumbs in the center of the clay and formed the inward parts.Miraculously the clay began to take shape.As the wheel turned faster and faster, the clay began to rise from the earth from which it was taken. Fearfully and wonderfully He made this new creation which He had planned from the beginning of time. But He wasn't done. Something was missing. The clay had no life. So he breathed into this earthen pot the breath of life and it became a living being. This fusion of divine life and earthly clay would make this new creation different from all the other created beings.
What appeared to be common was indeed holy,and set apart to do His will.


All would have been well if it hadn't been for a previously created spirit being who thought he should be at least equal to the one who made him. That, of course was an absurd notion, even though he was the most beautiful of all created things.
This masterpiece was created to be a light-bearer. But by his own choice, this rebel became the prince of darkness. Not wanting to be alone in his rebellion, this arrogant spirit being persuaded many other lesser spirits to join him.The Potter could not tolerate this sinful rebellion. So He cast the spirits out of His presence, and they fell from their heavenly abode.


The prince of darkness could not stand the thought that a new creation by the Potter would actually rule over him. If only he could get this new creation to act independently of the Potter.I know what i will do,thought the evil prince, I'll get this upstart pot to think that he too could be like the Potter and decide for himself what is good and evil.What a lie ! " Does not the potter have a right over the clay...?"( romans 9:21) " Will the clay say to the Potter,"What are you doing?"( Isaiah 45;9)
This crafty devil actually managed to deceive this new creation by questioning the word of the Potter, enticing him to do his own thing and live independent of the one who fashioned him


The consequences were swift and immediate. This new creation lost the divine breath that made him spiritually alive and introduced impurities into the clay from which he was made.He no longer had a relationship with  the Potter who made him. Because of the impurities in his clay,the earthen vessel would also deteriorate and eventually die. The Potter had designed this new creation and his partner to multiply and fill the earth, and that is what they continued to do,but all their offspring were born dead in their trespasses and sins like their parents. They lost their dominion over all the other creation,and the prince of darkness became the rebel holder of authority that the Potter had intended for the pot and his offspring to have.
Now this rebel prince of darkness had his own little kingdom to rule over on planet Earth. He was the god of this world and prince of power of the air. Fallen pots and lesser evil spirits were under his authority and were slaves to his sinful ways.


But the Potter loved what He had created and had a plan to undo the works of the rebel prince-a plan that would do something about the impurities that now characterized all His creation because He cannot tolerate anything impure in His presence. Through this plan, He would give them His Life again. The Potter said," I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: and i will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And i will put my Spirit in you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws"( Ezekiel 36:26,27)


The Potter"s plan required He Himself to take on the form of a pot and show the earthly pots how to live a life totally dependent upon the Potter. The prince of darkness threw every possible temptation at this Divine Pot in the hopes that He too would choose to live independent of the Potter,but He stood His ground and declared that pots don't live by the things of this world but by everything that comes from the mouth of the Potter ( see Matthew 4:4) But He had to do more than just show them how to live,because the consequence of their impurities was certain destruction.


So this Divine Pot who was sent from the Potter had to take all the consequences of the impurities of the fallen pots upon Himself in order that the fallen pots could become pure again. All the forces of evil came against Him and the Potter's just anger against impurity fell on Him and He died. He died to sin once and for all for the fallen pots who would trust in Him. Then three days later ,this Divine Pot was resurrected,showing that His death had defeated the prince of darkness and made it possible for all the fallen pots to be forgiven and receive divine life if they would only believe Him. The law of life in this Divine Pot was greater than the law of the impurities and the law of death.


Although the prince of darkness was defeated, he and all his evil spirits were allowed by the Potter to continue roaming across the planet earth untill their final judgement came upon them.
Their plan was to blind the minds of the unbelieving pots so that they could never hear the good news that the divine pot had come to die for there sins and give them life.Many believed this lie and never received their pardon.Others believed the truth and were instantly forgiven and they received the life offered by the Divine Pot,but the evil one tempted,accused,and did everything within his limited power to get the forgiven pots to believe his lies.


To all the pots that heard the good news and responded to the truth the Potter sent His Spirit of truth to guide and bear witness that they truly were children of the Potter. He said to them," Like clay in the hand of the potter,so are you in my hand"( Jeremiah 18:^). Because these redeemed pots had been molded by this world, He had to remake them in His image. These new creations could not be made by there own, but they would have an important part to play in becoming more and more like the Potter.Although they would have many other useful purposes  for remaining on planet earth,nothing was more important to the Potter than to have all His redeemed pots free from there awful past and become pure like Him........


This book is about CHANGE...-SANCTIFICATION- 

The common to made  holy by the hand of God

About sinners becoming saints.

And about children of wrath to become children of God.

" Be holy because I am holy " ( 1 Peter1:16)

Have you made the decision to let God be God and desire nothing more than to be the person He created you to be?
Are  you convinced that the will of God is good,acceptable, and perfect for you( Romans 12:2) even before you know certain what it is? Be assured that God loves His  children and He has no plans for you that aren't good, although you will surely undergo some times of testing in order that you may be purified. We have been warned in 1 Peter 4:12-14.......


The REFINER'S FIRE is necessary in order for the Potter to conform His earthen vessels back into His  image................

The songwriter said it well:

Refiner's fire

My heart's one desire

it's to be holy

Set apart unto You my Maker

Ready to do Your will.

Psalm 45

A Wedding Song of the Sons of Korah

 ¹ My heart bursts its banks, spilling beauty and goodness.
   I pour it out in a poem to the king,
      shaping the river into words:

   

 ^2-4 "You're the handsomest of men;
      every word from your lips is sheer grace,
      and God has blessed you, blessed you so much.
   Strap your sword to your side, warrior!
      Accept praise! Accept due honor!
      Ride majestically! Ride triumphantly!
   Ride on the side of truth!
      Ride for the righteous meek!

 ^4-5 "Your instructions are glow-in-the-dark;
      you shoot sharp arrows
   Into enemy hearts; the king's
      foes lie down in the dust, beaten.

 ^6-7 "Your throne is God's throne,
      ever and always;
   The scepter of your royal rule
      measures right living.
   You love the right
      and hate the wrong.
   And that is why God, your very own God,
      poured fragrant oil on your head,
   Marking you out as king
      from among your dear companions.

 ^8-9 "Your ozone-drenched garments
      are fragrant with mountain breeze.
   Chamber music—from the throne room—
      makes you want to dance.
   Kings' daughters are maids in your court,
      the Bride glittering with golden jewelry. 

 ^10-12 "Now listen, daughter, don't miss a word:
      forget your country, put your home behind you.
   Be here—the king is wild for you.
      Since he's your lord, adore him.
   Wedding gifts pour in from Tyre;
      rich guests shower you with presents."

 ^13-15 (Her wedding dress is dazzling,
      lined with gold by the weavers;
   All her dresses and robes
      are woven with gold.
   She is led to the king,
      followed by her virgin companions.
   A procession of joy and laughter!
      a grand entrance to the king's palace!)

 ^16-17 "Set your mind now on sons—
      don't dote on father and grandfather.
   You'll set your sons up as princes
      all over the earth.
   I'll make you famous for generations;
      you'll be the talk of the town
      for a long, long time."

Jeremiah 9:17-23 (The Message)

A Life That Is All Outside but No Inside

 ^17-19A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:

   "Look over the trouble we're in and call for help.
   Send for some singers who can help us mourn our loss.
Tell them to hurry—
   to help us express our loss and lament,
Help us get our tears flowing,
   make tearful music of our crying.
Listen to it!
   Listen to that torrent of tears out of Zion:
'We're a ruined people,
   we're a shamed people!
We've been driven from our homes
   and must leave our land!'"

 ^20-21Mourning women! Oh, listen to God's Message!
   Open your ears. Take in what he says.
Teach your daughters songs for the dead
   and your friends the songs of heartbreak.
Death has climbed in through the window,
   broken into our bedrooms.

"Extreme Makeover: How God Renewed Our Marriage Against All the Odds."

This picture above was the picture i had in mind when i will be married!

Example for a good (godly) marriage was the marriage of my Grandparents.

No matter good examples..i had also wrong examples or marriages..who i saw as "unloving", not how i pictured mine has to be.....differently,or rather stay happily and single.......

As a young christian ( really a 'baby " spiritually) I fell "head over heals in love"  and it was both side.......The LOVE OF MY LIFE was also a "baby christian".Very attractive and interesting because

1. Opposite's attracts
2. Coming out of another culture IS interesting 
3. Values what i saw as important i found: in him: f.e. hardworking,passionate

That time we felt a nudge not to life together but to marry......

I see now that God Blessed us because of that decision!

We stayed long (LOL) in a "pink cloud" and we felt we could conquer the world!

When we look now at what steps we made....It is because we dare to do things together....Start a business together beside mine part-time job.....

 We had faith in eachother and God was in it!

Where the enemy creeped in i don't know...

I think in the events of Life we lost sight of putting our priotities straight, and did not put GOD FIRST!!

When we woke up ...the pink cloud was gone and we looked at eachother

and strangely

all that was atractive and interesting was NOW seen as a down side........

1. Because of being a hard worker i felt lonely to be mostly with the kids
2. I wanted to compete to be also an hard worker
3. Comunication problems because of other values ..Not understanding eachother or interpreteted differently because of culture diffrences 

Well we both felt desillusioned and knew we where on the WRONG PATH!!

GOD SO GOOD!!

Seperately He start working at us....,speaking to us.......

That we see now we are looking back!!

When we where in the MIDDLE we OBEDIENTLY stayed together

And the only thing i heard was..........PRAY!!

I struggle with this and still with God about it because I always feel that i can't pray!

But i can say full heartedly ,what this picture says......

I believe that because of obedience and drawing closer again to God ...HIS POWER start healing and knitting us together  in the way HE INTENDED IT!!

He brought my way books and the p31 online ministry where i met sisters who gave encouragement and also practical tips ....how to survive those seasons in a marriage!!

God  is in the working bussiness in His CHILDREN....
We both where and are.......
He has His own plan with both of us....What we did not see than we see now......
He only asked TO PRAY AND FOLLOW.
Even when you do not understand.
I did not understand....sometimes i run out of my house...jump on my bike...began to Jog around in the park......Prayed for Godly and neutral people to talk with.......
But in all this HE IS FAITHFUL and ANSWERS PRAYER sometimes TOTALLY DIFFERENT
But always GOOD for His children!!
