“This is a truth only learned in a storm…& on a battlefield.”~Robbie & Bob

Guest post by Robbie & Bob…
My brother …Our Faithful
Father carries us over yet again!Today, Bob’s EKG is normal. He has been in normal sinus rhythm since noon yesterday. The pneumonia is healing as is the pericardial fluid around his heart. He is not finished in full manifested healing…but he is experiencing the truth of being Blessed by God as God’s saved child who carries the inheritance of healing by Jesus’ blood. No doubt. The Word is true. We marvel at how God manifests Himself in the midst of our circumstance…

lifting first our heart…then restoring our body. We both are blessed and feeling much better today.Thank you dear friends for standing with us…Believing God. There is no greater feeling on a battlefield for me, than to rest completely assured that

1. This battle belongs to God…not me
2. My shield is Jesus & He covers me completely.
3. I am standing there with brothers & sisters…chosen by God for this hour … who have His revelation of what this battle is & what it is not.
4. And …our Shields are interlocked.This is not a picture of hiding…it is a picture of being hidden. Unexposed. I believe & know this truth. I call on God’s Word of Truth…& He performs His Word …every time.

This is a truth only learned in a storm…& on a battlefield. One taught me about my self-sufficiency…the bigger picture calls on my absolute decisions about His sufficiency.

Thank you friends for being THESE Believers I know are there …abiding with us in our Jesus. I also know know that we are equipped by Father at the ready with our 5 smooth stones & sling shots…at His command…in any battle.Awesome.

Be blessed!

Hugs…Robbie & Bob

It was in the darkest of places, i fell to my face and cried out to Jesus.

Darkness

To a best friend…

It was in the darkest of places, i fell to my face and cried out to Jesus.  I don't know why it was required of me to go to this dark place, but it was there i found myself.  It was there i found Jesus.  So i speak from the truth gained by going to the darkest of places and finding the brightest of lights… Jesus.  

It is likely there is purpose in your experience of the darkness.  I know the pain is deep and seemingly impossible, but it is from this impossibility you may have opportunity to know the power of God you have only heard about.  This season may be your chance to discover something much deeper and truthful than you could ever imagine.

There is truth even in the darkness.  The truth is Jesus.  I don't know what is required of you, but i do know the way out of the darkness for me was progressive and began with the birth of God Spots.  I woke up one day in darkness and cried, "God! If you don't show yourself… i will not live for tomorrow."  He out of love… not obligation revealed Himself.  Then, daily He continue to reveal Himself.  It is likely God desires to reveal Himself to you, also.

It was with God's touch, i picked up the NT Message version of the Bible.  I started with verse one… i read every minute of the day possible.  I carried the book with me… all the time.  It tethered me to God.  There was no breaking free.  I scribbled all over the pages.  Everything God said, i wrote… i wrote thousands of words… all God's revelation and authentication. In a few weeks, i had finished the NT and started with verse one, again.  My hunger was unquenchable… His Word was always either in my back pocket or in my hand reading…. i became a new man.

i like to say, "Out of the darkness, God began birthing a new man… the man He desired to spend eternity with."  Again, i don't know God's purpose for this darkness in your life, but i know David experienced a similar adventure.

The best i can offer you is a cry to Jesus, totally broken.  Then, a nonstop compulsive feasting on His Word driven by a new found passionate love for Christ…. i pray this on you and will continue to pray this as you discover His light in the darkest of places.

your best of  friends and fellow lover of Jesus,

A Private Communication Between God and His Friend Kerry.

…a guest post

“Kerry”

“This Life I Have Given, is not for you but for Me to live in you as you have given up your free will to Me. Praise the Lord your God, for He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus the Christ, so that you could make this choice and allow Me to live in and through you. Why do you query or ponder over issues that are not yours, for the battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and as you are not spirit, it remains My battle for I am Spirit. Let go of all the burdensome thoughts and ideas as it is I, the great I Am, that dwells within in you and no matter your plans and concerns, only those which are according to My Will will come to pass.

Give it all to Me Kerry, trust in me, for He that is in you, the great I AM, is stronger than any force that may come against you. You have chosen this path, now let Me guide your footsteps for only I, the great I AM, knows the way. Be humble knowing that it is I who is going before you with each step you take, as My everlasting peace overcomes you as My blessing to you.

Rest in it now My son, love those that I love and hate all that is against Me for I am, the great I AM. He that dwells in you, He that guides your every footstep, He that rules Heaven and Earth, your God, your Creator, your friend. I AM God the father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit

Amen”

One interesting pose during the Olympics - Will Claye the long jump Bronze medallist with his well worn Bible. I hope it's not just a shtick for "good luck" but he actually reads it. But I really loved the picture!

David and i are invigorated by God Spots!

"God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I got my act together, he gave me a fresh start. Now I'm alert to God's ways; I don't take God for granted. Every day I review the ways he works; I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step. God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes."~David and i

God bless!

People Still Die Sharing the Love of Jesus

Prayer request: Sajji lives in a remote part of India, and loves Jesus. He and his wife took in 22 orphaned children and made them part of their family. Sajji and his co-worker Ranjan, recently began working in a new region where many people had never heard of Jesus. They were warned by anti-Christian leaders to stop sharing the Gospel, but could not disobey God. Last Saturday, they visited homes in the village, praying for many of the families. The response was so positive that plans were made to start a Bible study in the home of one the villagers.

As Sajji, Ranjan and other believers were returning home that night, a mob stopped their car and started attacking them, cursing them for talking about Jesus. Sajji was driving the car and they beat him to death on the spot. The other believers were able to escape to nearby fields, returning later to find their friend lifeless and covered in blood.

Sajji’s death has left his young wife a widow and 22 orphans fatherless again – all because of Sajji’s love for Jesus and desire to obey His commands. Please pray for all those concerned: Sajji's widow, the children, Ranjan and the other Christians – and that God would somehow use this tragedy for His glory. May revival break out in that same village!

Early this week an Evangelical Christian young man who has always appeared to profess faith in Christ alone (and had preached that salvation is by Faith alone, in Christ alone, by Grace alone and by Scripture alone to the Glory of God alone) dropped a note to his local congregation and fellowship of believers. The message said he was no longer going to walk with them and he had come to a place where he wanted to go back to Roman Catholicism.
