Continue To Trust In Jesus



Continue to Trust in Jesus

It is only as you put on the mind of Christ that you will understand that which is taking place daily in the earth.  Do not look on the outward appearance but always come back to me, your Father in Heaven and reason with me.  Many of you are extremely distressed with the times you are living in.  Many have come to the point where they feel that they cannot go on and do not know where to turn next.  Have I changed?  Am I not your Lord and provider?  Am I not the God that heals you?  Am I not the God that puts your food on the table?  Do not look at the outward appearance for man does this but look upon My heart.  See through My eyes.  Hear with My ears and glean that which I am saying first to you and then to the church. 

 The times ahead will not be easy.  Those days are over but know that I am with you.  I will never forsake or leave you.  Do not despair for there is an open door to enter in and fellowship with Me.  I am longing for those precious ones that are moving to and fro in stresses of daily life to stop and turn to me.  Sit with Me for times of refreshing.  Sit with Me and hear from Me and learn that I am your Father. 

 Though the storm hit, I am there as I was with My disciples in the boat.  I did not run off and leave them but stood by them allowing them to grow spiritually and then see the wonder of a miracle.  Keep calling on Me, keep calling on My name.  If all you can do is say, Jesus help me, Jesus guide Me, know that I hear the most simple prayer.  I am not a Father that is without understanding but know My love.  

Beloved, you are struggling, many of mine are struggling financially and in many other ways and many have gone home.  Do not look at death through natural eyes but see through the eyes of my spirit.  Death for the child of God is better than ones birth.  I do all things well so do not allow the enemy to tell you otherwise.  I give and I take away, blessed be the name of the Lord.  I am Alpha and Omega and will have the last say. 
 
Though that anti Christ spirit has raised its ugly head and is manifesting, I am stronger much stronger.  These things must first come to pass.  Do that which you need to do.  Care for your household and for those that are in your sphere of influence.  My yolk is easy and  burden is light.  Again, I will never forsake or leave you even during the most difficult of times I am standing with you.  Keep praying and interceding for the needs of your household and extended family and do not give up for I hear and answer prayer.  Be of good courage and I will strengthen your heart.  Rejoice in the Lord and again I say rejoice for I am in the midst of My people.

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Matt. 14:22-33 (NIV)

Pastor Saeed From Iranian Prison

Pastor Saeed From Iranian Prison: Thanks for Praying & Fighting for my Freedom
http://aclj.org/iran/pastor-saeed-iranian-prison-thanks-praying-fighting-freedom


American Pastor Saeed Abedini’s family in Terhan was able to visit him again earlier this week.

Pastor Saeed was able to get a new letter out this week to his wife Naghmeh.  He sent her this letter to be shared with supporters who gathered recently, on the Christian day of Pentecost, to pray for him.

He shared that despite what he has to endure on a daily basis – the beatings and internal bleeding – he has hope.  The 33-year-old U.S. Citizen  wrote, “I will also be freed from my chains though prayer and strength of the Grace of God.”

His full letter to supporters is below.

Spending Pentecost in Prison and in Chains

When the Day of the Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. (Acts 2:1-2)

One special day, one heart, one place -- All of these come together, to emphasize one thing, the importance of unity.

I heard that the persecution, my arrest and imprisonment has united churches from different denominations, from different cities and countries, that would never come together because of their differences. That the churches have united together in prayer to put one request (my freedom) on one day (Pentecost) before God.

You don’t know how happy I was in the Lord and rejoiced knowing that in my chains the body of Christ has chained together and is brought to action and prayer.

When someone’s life like mine is in danger, we realize how different we are in our opinions (although some of those differences might be correct), but that we are still united in one goal of praying for my freedom.

I am thankful for that. It is though your prayers and the Grace of God that the Lord is using me here in my chains. Many have been freed from the chains of Satan here and have been saved and added to the Church.

Now, how beautiful it will be if the Church would be united and fight for the salvation of the world whose life is in danger and who are bound in chains of Satan and to fight for the salvation of the world, a world that is heading to the way of destruction. With the same passion and the same way that you are praying and fighting for my freedom, we need to be praying and fighting for the salvation of the world.

When the Church is united (with one heart, in one place, on one day) that is when the joy and strength of God (Holy Spirit) wants to come in that unity and pour out and the Lord be exalted. Although this unity is the result of direct involvement of the Holy Spirit that is able to bring many different characteristics to make one.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me (Acts 1:8).

And only when the Holy Spirit comes can you get strength. Without the strength of God it is impossible to do the will of God. And when we receive strength, then we can be transformed. And when we are transformed, that is when the Church is transformed as well. And when the Church is transformed, then the world will be freed from the chains of sin and will be saved and transformed. When we are all united and chained together, united in our hearts, in one place in one day, and we pray, then we will receive the power from on High and will receive strength and the world will be changed and will be freed from the chains of bondage and will be saved. The same way that I will also be freed from my chains though prayer and strength of the Grace of God.

So dear sisters and brothers let us be united in prayer for freedom and salvation of the world. Let us be united so that the Holy Spirit might fall on us and the Glory of God would be revealed through us and through the church.

Welcome to the chains that have bound me and have bound us together. Happy Pentecost.

God Said and it was.
Chains were broken.
Our sins were forgiven
I am free
You are free
We all have freedom

With many thanks for your continued and faithful prayers.

Servant of our Lord in chains for Jesus Christ,
Saeed
