Well, I can't explain it or understand it mostly. I really don't get why God is letting me get this stuff from Him. I sure don't deserve Him. I want to serve Him more and better daily. Today , all day, (LO God has been pouring more SWEETNESS on me . I feel like He's this current of cool, refreshing water pouring all through and over me. This water is the sweetest water I've ever tasted in my whole life and it saturates and satisfies me completely and I see it flowing from me to others for restoration and renewal. This is the Living Water that the of God are planted by to grow strong, tall, and healthy.WOW!!!!! This is so amazing. Who else can provide such Water? No one I know not even any of the Spring Water companies.(LO Because this water cannot be bought with worthless money made of paper . It can only be bought with the giving up of one's self to Jesus completely for Redemption by His most precious Blood. Hallelujah!!!
Come and receive this Water without price my friends. Jesus calls to you day by day to receive it.Don't wait. He loves you so much and longs to set you free NOW. Receive Him now. Come humbly and He will fill you completely with everything that will supply all your needs eternal. Amen.
I am turning more to listen to His sweet voice . It makes me shiver with chills because He draws close to this unworthy soul. I feel His Presence so near not because I draw close to Him, but because He draws closer and closer to me daily. Wow. How blessed is that. Nothing I have ever known is this deep and amazing. I haven't come near to reaching the bottom of His Greatness, His Mercy, His Gentleness, His Power, His Wisdom, or His Love. I can't help but keep walking on to His Deepness and some time (In Heaven) I will understand and know the greatness of all of His Presence.
Wow!!!! How I want this. I do. I do. I do. I feel Him coming closer and I know I'm not the only one getting this amazing message. I trust Him with every ounce of my being. I just want to share Him more and worship Him more.
SWEET, SWEET, SWEET........

I have been praying and meditating alot and find like God is drawing me to this point. I feel like God is feeding me on some kind of amazing food I never knew before. I go through the day with this constant sweet taste in my mouth. It's kind of like the sweetest, best, most pure Honey that keeps me hungry for more. It goes to the deepest part of me and energizes me so very much. I am so grateful to My Lord Jesus how He looks after me, leads me and teaches me. I am so thankful for my dear Christian friends here in BC and at my church and other churches. I know that I won't ever look back or search other pastures because this place where He keeps me satisfies me deeper then any place I have been before . I won't ever leave except He calls me too. I know now more and more , by minute and minute, that He has called me to service for Him. I will do this and humble myself daily because I can't be used any other way. I am so happy He wants to use me . I know I am nothing without Him and the presence of Holy Spirit. He makes me bold and gentle at the same time.I am such a shy , mousy person generally and it is only in Him that I am emboldened to do His Holy Will. I honour and cherish Him now all the time. He shows me Himself daily and He speaks to me quietly and clearly and leads me to greater things for the extension of His Kingdom. I covenant daily with Him and He restores His Covenant with me more than I ever would deserve.
I desire to see the needy souls come to Him daily and I pray for it sincerely. This is the greatest thing for me. He draws me more and more so I cannot resist His Sweet, Holy Presence.
I guess this is a little taste of Heaven for me.
I think God is saying this to anyone who seeks Him hard enough....Come , let us reason together..
Come to Him while He still calls clearly,
Don't wait . He wants you in His Family today.
peace, Lisa

I have been finding my self settling into a stillness, quietness and peace that is totally not like me. I tend to enjoy busyness , activity and noise. God is doing something new in my and drawing me to quietness. I find that as I gradually relax and settle into this I can hear profound Words of Wisdom whispered quietly to me. I have never found the Voice of God to be loud or harsh. I only found a gentle Presence and kindness, patience, gentleness and waves of Love that kept and keep on drawing me in. So , I learn to wait and rest at His feet. He feeds me with this Word. He quenches my never-ending thirst with the same Word. I am so grateful to be satisfied with these. God only expects me to learn from Him and share what I have learned.He keeps bringing me back for the same. This is the best place I have ever come to remain at. I have soaked in Peace and Relaxation better than any vacation I have ever been on. I pray that I am sharing as well as my Lord. I know this is a learning experience and He is the most patient Teacher.
I share deep things of my heart not to prove anything. I really didn't feel I wanted to share the private places of my soul but God spoke to me to share because it will be an encouragment for others as well as me.
I do have a question as well. Does God open Himself up to any one else here in a similar manner.
Peace and Joy, Lisa

I think.... for me I have come to a High point. A jumping of point where I need to spread my wings and I need to remember the important things I have learned in my life and all the things I have done . I need to apply the Strong Faith I have learned which has come from the encouragement and role-modelling of strong believers, from times when I needed to step out and trust even when I felt so weak and wobbly, from the Word most of all. Thank you all my dear friends so much for being there for me when I thought I was done and finished and couldn't be used of God at all. I needed you and I still do. I am thankful that God has taken all the stuff of me and made it whole and new. All the brokeness, emptiness, sorrow , and incompleteness of my past life is gone by His all encompassing Mercy and Grace. I hunger and thirst to serve Him alone fully every day because of all the amazing, good, deep and wonderful things He gives me everyday.
He bears me up every step of the way. I am crying happy tears when I write this. They are healing to me. I used to feel terribly alone every day for many years but I now know I will never be lonely because He is always with me whether I am rejoicing or sad or grumpy or just tired out . I will no longer worry or fear that. I feel His Presence with me every minute of every day.I know,
beyond a shadow of a doubt, that no matter what big storms come my way He will always bear me up and still the stormy waters and protect me. I know that at this point in my life and my spiritual walk He asks me to trust Him and spread my wings and fly. I am afraid , nervous, unsure. I hear a voice in me saying it's all a lie . It says that God does not exist and is not real. Yet, I know that He is real and He does exist because He has revealed Himself to me in too many ways I cannot discount Him.
I will step off the cliff into the insubstantial air and into the BIG,SCARY unknown and trust Him to give me the wings to fly. I know He won't let me fall or hurt myself because He loves me so much. Yes, and this is not true just for me but for each one of you. It does not matter where you are on your spiritual walk. God knows your heart and your needs and right where you are. He will carry you through. Call out to Him right where you are and He will answer you and provide for you just what you need . He will meet you there. Dont be anxious or worry because He has everything under control . He made this world, the galaxies and keeps it all spinning without any sweat from us.
I know He is true. I pray you will trust Him and come to Him at this time right now.
Now is the time of Salvation and Restoration and Repentance. It's a time of rejoicing and not mourning.
It's a time of JUBILEE..
Peace, Lisa

Well, my friends hey, I'm back blogging again. I can not seem to get away from His calling on me. I am worn out from all the walking I've been doing the last few weeks looking for a local apt. However , I got up from a long nap and decided to take my wee doggie out for a walk because it was sunny and not too windy. God always amazes me how He speaks to me. He is always gentle in His speaking but sometimes when He needs to get thru to me( cuz sometimes I 'm so thick) He has to use something dramatic. I was out walking and God just drew me on in my walk. I felt His Presence move thru me like the stirring of the strong breeze thru the leaves on the trees in the Spring. He spoke to me and showed me how He is moved by the hurting, the lonely , the tired, the vulnerable, the sick, the young , the elderly, the mentally slow. The list can go on .....I see myself in all of these people. I know how much I depend on Him for daily getting on and just basic survival. I am NOTHING without Him. He wants this people to come
to know Him, to return to His Pastures that He has prepared for them all. He doesn't want anyone to struggle in futility anymore . For God has made the WAY when there seems to be no way.I want to serve Him in this daily because He has done so very much for me . I cannot say how much He has done for me to set me FREE and to re-establish me to a place of wholeness, strength, joy, gentleness, love, empathy, true peace, mercy, courage, consistency, faith, patience, and humility.
I will go forward walking and running into His Calling for me and see all the wonder and glory He has in store for me and to see His will be done which is the the lost sheep come home and all come to know the Perfect Love of our dear Saviour Jesus.
First Corinthians Chapter Thirteen
Jesus calls us daily to feed the hungry , clothe the naked, comfort and minister to the sick, give drink the the thirsty, spend time with the forgotten both physically and spiritually.
We cannot do these things in our own ability. NO!!! There is only ONE WAY to accomplish these things fully . When we surrender all to Jesus daily or minute by minute and let Him do this amazing, miraculous work through us. When we do......MIRACLES, greater than we could ever imagine will happen. I have faith in this that God can do miracles when we let Him do them.
Lord I pray You increase our Faith and that You will perform these things in Your Blessed Name as the day of Your Returning draws nearer.
Amen..
Let us walk on together my friends,
gg

I was downtown Hamilton looking at some apts. again . I was walking around alot. I got lost on some streets and mixed up sometimes. I had to ask directions more than once.(LO Such is me. It was a cloudy, chilly, drizzly day but I was there so I had to and wanted to get this done. I had prayed before hand for God to guide me. So , I was kind of wondering what was happening when I kept getting the streets mixed up. I went to alot of store and auto shops to ask for directions. I was in the Oriental district and it seemed that most of the people did not know the street I was looking for. I was irritated and getting increasingly grumpy because my feet and legs were sore from all the walking. I started to pray for the people and the neigbourhoods because I thought I might as well do something useful because I was all turned around. I all of the sudden felt such a heavy burden that I have never felt before. I almost was crushed by the weight of it. It seems that God was weeping and mourning for these people in downtown Hamilton. I started to pray more and pray in tongues and it kept getting heavier and heavier. I knew that God was moving. I felt all this power flowing thru my arms and hands as God was doing a mighty work. I felt that God was sending angels to minister to the many hurting ,broken, empty and forgotten people downtown. I kept praying and crying and crying out to God. I felt heavier and heavier til I could almost not stand or move. I saw so many people who needed Jesus. I know that it was God's Heart that was moving me to this deeper intercessory prayer. There were many more street and homeless people then I saw the last time I was downtown a few weeks ago. I know that God has really given me a heart for the people of downtown Hamilton and I want to get into some kind of downtown outreach ministry. I remember when I was just a I would go down in groups with other teens to minister to people and share the Gospel. I have that same heart to minister and share but it has become stronger, more consistent and , fortunately, more gentle and compassionate and less judging. I have more of a heart like our Dear Lord Jesus who spent most of His time teaching and ministering to and feeding these kinds of people. I am thankful that it is Jesus who ministers thru me and not the selfish me because I would never go to these people . I would for sure avoid them like the plague out of fear and distrust. I am very thankful that Jesus is changing my attitude around and turning my whole world upside down to what I think is "right." I saw other people and community based organizations ministering and caring for these people . Oh I just want to do that more. I am blessed with way more than I need and I do not want for anything so I guess that I can squeeze a little out of my pocket and my Life for these people that are forgotten. Then , I think I will start to flow more freely in Jesus' Love and Compassion and live it in JOY complete.
Lord, let us serve you more freely and give more generously because You Love so and You will always provide for us more than we need or desire.
Blessings to you all my dearest friends,
hugssss, Lisa

Moving on towards Ministry.......

Well, my dear friends, today I made some more steps
towards getting into Ministry. I checked out the website of the Divinity Courses I want to take at a nearby University. I was really intrigued by them . I checked them out as thoroughly as I could on line then my sister said she would take me to the University to check it out more. I started to get excited then. That I was making a big step forward in God's plan for me. I knew something good was going to happen. When I got there I wandered around the buildings to get a feel for things . I had a deep , abiding calm that lasted way past when I left at the end of the day. I went inside the building and went to the information area and the woman there was very pleasant and friendly. She informed me where I should go. I got to the room and was welcomed warmly by some of the students and staff who were having lunch together. They said to have some of the food provided there. I enjoyed chatting with a couple of the students and shared my desire to serve God amd my fellow brothers and sisters and those who need God. I really enjoyed myself .However, the BEST was yet to come. Every day, every afternoon all the staff and students get together to worship and share a short message. So I went along to see how it went. God had a surprise up His sleeve
for me. Once everyone started worshipping something happened to me I can't describe. I felt totally and completely in God's HOLY PRESENCE all at once. I saw visions of angels , thrones, Jesus, the Lamb , the Lion. I was bowed down in my spirit and totally humbled. Everyone was worshipping intently. I was convicted sorely of my pride and sinful state but God just whispered to me over and over that I was in the right place at the right time and need not grieve so much. He told me and showed me of His Love for me over and over and that I was to take these courses to prepare for greater Ministry that He was leading me into. I was crying and crying and could not even sing the praise songs everyone else was deeply into. I felt like a wind was rushing all throughout the Sanctuary. I Knew I had to move forward quickly on this and I have . I have mostly completed all the paper work and requested for three people to complete the reference forms needed for registration. I do have the money for this course so I am not concerned . I just pray I get accepted for the January 2008 intake because I have been late in getting my registration completed. Please pray for me about this. If I do not get accepted for January intake there only a short wait until May for the next start up time. Anyways. I really found the people intent on God, encouraging and pleasant and interesting. I know I am in God's plan on this and nothing is going to hold me back. I am intent on pursuing this strongly and know God will provide anything I lack to begin and complete what He desires me to do . I know now this is His purpose for me that is only going to build and build to His AWESOME GLORY and the extension of His Kingdom.
Bless you all and hugss,peace,
your sis in Jesus, Lisa gg

I have a simple question here. How do you go about giving kudos? Do you have to be silver or gold member to give kudos?

I guess I finally came to this point in my life that I need to let the rubber hit the the road , put my nose to the grindstone. I have to come to accept that God wants me in Ministry . I have talked to my pastor and good friend. I have talked to other people close to me and they all encourage me. I have talked to my sister about it and she thinks it would be the way for me to go. I said to her as long as I dont have to balance books. Well, I guess I can't ask God to make concessions for me. I told a good friend of mine here about a month and a half ago that I had consecrated myself to God to His service. I accepted it easily but now I kind of wonder . How am I going to get thru this and how am I going to carry it out. However, I dont have to get trembly and jittery. I just have to stay humbled daily, yes daily and let God do the work through me and it will all fall into place. I just have to move forward prayerfully and seek His Holy face and grab onto it with all my heart, soul, mind and being and not look back to where I was. I will serve Him fully as long as I can let go of my past (recent and long past). God will use us in this to bring about miraculous occurences and events far beyond our understanding. I know that these things are possible because He has given me a Faith beyond what I can see in my limited self. It's just STEP,STEP,STEP and God walks with us. He never leaves us alone when He asks us to do something beyond our frail humanity. So , let us run with it to the End and not be fearful or anxious or wondering.He will always make a Way when there is no Way. He will not always answer as we want but as is best for us and others well.
I won't stop on this Journey He has set me to.
I won't look back . I don't go alone for others have gone before me . I walk with other believers . God is our Standard Bearer and Protector.
Peace, Lisa
