O4’s Find on Monday!

There are many things to see that God is doing all over the planet, and many ways to find them. Along with KP Yohannan, Soren and The Last Reformation has been quite illuminating.  I watched a great video of his on his channel called, https://www.youtube.com/@TheLastReformation.  

Pick a video, any of them, to learn more about what God is up to.  From Merida, Mexico to Cape Town, South Africa, God is still doing great things and will be until Jesus comes again, amen.

“Renewing of our minds is to not think like this world anymore, but to think like God’s Kingdom.”

M4’s Find on Friday!

K.P. Yohannan has always held a special place in my family’s life and was the mission my daughter chose to support with the release of her albums. When my kids were 7, we read ‘No Longer A Slumdog’ as part of our Spiritfire time.  In it, we learned about the evil practices of the slum bosses that knew a maimed child made more money begging than a healthy one.  We also learned of the power of God and how He is at work in India and throughout the world through His Church changing communities with His love.

Over the years, through GFA, Gwendolyn was able to supply communities with chickens, mosquito netting, blankets and Bible tracks.  Because of family, friends, and her fans who bought her album, she was able to partner with GFA to bring those needed supplies across the world to areas she’s never been.  She was able to grow her vision through their perspective in many ways and she got to hear about the needs of those who don’t know the love of Jesus.

Today’s ‘M’ word is merciful.  God’s mercies are never ending, Lamentations 3:22-24.  Because of it, we know of His plan for our salvation, John 3:16.  We know we could never achieve it on our own, but we are privileged to see and know the fulfillments of prophecy from the wish of Moses in Numbers 11:29 to Acts 2:1-21 because of Jesus, John 7:37-39.  Amen!

Feel free to order K.P. Yohannan’s books to learn and grow as my family did and does.  Check out this book by KP Yohannan: https://revolutionbook.org/.  “It has helped change the course of mission history in our generation.”

Last Find for K4!!!

‘Kerygma’ was the word for today!  It is the earliest form of the message of the Gospels before anything was written down.  The oral message about Jesus spoken by the apostles to the world changed everything.  No longer were people to be enslaved by dark demonic powers that sought only destruction, however veiled, but are now being set free because a greater power is now at work in us.

This is a Truth both Rinax and Nob of Coconut Cove are finding out as they manipulate the power of the Word of God to their own ends.

Can Grono, Conkey, and Coucan, along with the rest of the Covians, put a stop to them before another tragic scar mars its way across the Cove?  Watch the 5th episode, and find out!

182 Find on Friday for K4

Today’s word was Keeshond.  The ways this breed of dog reflects God to me was in its trusted ability to sound the alarm with a bark. “They are known by their loud, distinctive bark. Throughout the centuries, the Keeshond has been very popular as a watch dog on barges on canals in the Netherlands and middle Europe. This trait is evident to this day, and they are alert dogs that warn their owners of any new visitors.” – Google search.  God watches over us and is always alert.  Check out His ever-watchful security measures in Psalm  121.

When reading the info about Keeshonds, it didn’t take me long to diverge off on the path of barges in the Netherlands, then onto narrow boats in England.  I’m not sure why the narrowboat life appeals to me so much.  It must be from canoeing on the Au Sable up in Michigan and coming across Brett DeYoung, a mentor of mine when I was a kid.  There was a bit of mystery on the water in that meeting that I loved, something about the community on the river.  I still don’t know how it happened, but it filled my heart to see him there.  He used to lead canoe trips on the Au Sable when I was a kid, and then I was leading one from RLCA when we met.  We had a leaky canoe that he and his wife, Sandy, helped to patch-up.  And then we were off.

I told Betsy about one day, after I get my healing, we could buy a narrow boat and cruise down the waterways in England and she seemed all for it.  Living on a boat for a few years would be extra fun.  I found myself joining David Johns on his YouTube channel “CruisingTheCut”, as he documented Jo and Michaels final 5 miles, or as he wrote, “In October last year (2021), my friends Jo and Michael (plus dog George) completed a four year epic trip around every navigable mile of the connected UK canal network. Along with many of their viewers, I went along to document the final five miles.”

A quick word about another mystery, healing.  I know mine is coming and was recently reminded of its nearness as I prayed for a guy I just met.  His friend was dying from a lifelong illness and could be gone any minute.  We prayed immediately for his healing and the next week, I was told his friend had made a drastic recovery and was no longer at death’s door.  I spoke again with the guy I met, and he said, “It’s been over a month now and he is quite strong.”

Now, I have had no word if he’s been cured of his illness, but his extra days are being greatly rejoiced over.  My, now friend, said to me, “You got some power in your prayers, buddy.”  To which we said “Amen.”

May our God keep watch over you better than a Keeshond, Psalm 121. And may He heal all your diseases, Psalm 103.

I Have A Dream…

“I have a dream…

 
In this dream the Church rises up together to form a better conscience for the culture in which it’s in.  It points to a greater kingdom where things such as porn and abortion are distant memories.  Widows and orphans are cared for, not carted off to their own pocket where they are ignored.  A new society is founded upon which all are welcome and treated like the children of God they are, no matter the color of skin, no matter the economic standing.  Sinful lifestyles wouldn’t be honored but would be loved into repentance.
 
We are wiser than to fall prey to the failings of the catholic church with their inquisitions.  We are the keepers of the history of man and the wisdom of God.  No longer would the success of churches be defined by numbers and screen size.  The business model of the American Church has run its course and its leadership is waning, the 80’s are gone.  We need to have a better voice for too much darkness surrounds us.  We are the Light of the world and will not be extinguished.  We host His presence and are a foretaste of His Kingdom.  When we worship Him and pray, we witness darkness flee.
 
It may seem like the end times, and I say if it is, then let us give our Lord and Savior a welcome to be proud of, not a: “Could You wait just a second?  George Lucas came out with a new movie and I’m on the last level of my video game.”
 
The helplessness of the Church would also fade away as sexual revolutions would be replaced by love.  Brothers and sisters in distant countries that face persecution would find help by more than companies that throw money at problems.  Actual research would be done to find a better way to accomplish their mission, the spreading of the Gospel.
 
I’m tired of the Church waiting for the government to do her work.  I’m tired of worrying who the next President will be.  I don’t find that anywhere in Scripture for worrying is not our job.  Why do we let a government which can obviously be bought replace our hands that are already paid for by His blood?
 
Yes, the Church has been a source of great atrocities in the past, but how is hiding today going to fix yesterday?  Can we not learn from it?  Are we not still the Bride?  Prayer in school would be the norm and the Bible would be a primary book from which our children would learn their value.  It would no longer be defined by sexual predators and the sex trade.  Evolution would take its place as a theory not as fact.  School violence would not be prevented by armed teachers but by prayer and a way to find actual solutions.  We are the only solution, governments can only move as far as their leash to this world and its ways allows.  We are to be free of such chains.  In our despondency we let the people suffer under their repeated failures, for that is all they will ever accomplish.  Why do we expect more from them?  They are not the Bride, we are.
 
Divorce, abuse, addictions of various kinds, debt, health care, could all be addressed as the Bride stands.  Why do they not teach how to properly handle money in school?  Because they want to raise a generation of debtors.  We are not meant for such things, our children are not made for such things, nor their children.  But what else have we to offer them while we sit.  Stand Bride of Christ!  Let us unite and give them a witness that once again inspires and sets free for the chains of this fallen world are heavy indeed.
 
For our children and theirs, let us give them such a story that shakes beyond culture, beyond economies, beyond Google and Amazon and ushers in His life giving presence.
 
Stand Bride of Christ!  Stand!”
 
I wrote this years ago, while I was trading emails with President Obama during a time of the Supreme Court overstepping its bounds to redefine marriage, school shootings, and ISIS.  May it be a helpful note for today.
