Witnessing for the Lord. I started to visit people in the Convalescence hospital, where I met a sweet Chinese man. I had brought him a bible in Mandarin, even though his English was pretty good, I know that when it comes to the scriptures, it is sometimes best in your own language. I explained the gospel to Li, who gave me his undivided attention. I asked Li if he wanted Jesus to live in his heart.
Li said that he would.
Later I told an evangelist what had happened with Li. He knew that I myself was a new Christian therefore he wanted to make sure that Li was truly saved. He asked if we could go and see Li together.
I asked Li where Jesus was. Without hesitating one moment Li answered, that Jesus was in his heart.
I asked him how he knew. His eyes looked surprised, looking directly at me he said: “You told me He would.” It was as simple as that for Li.
I assured Li that he was right, that Jesus did live in his heart. I gave him a big hug. The evangelist was now convinced that Li was truly born again. I know that we will meet some day on the other side.
Always wondered about this Who made them into girls with wings? Angels are men and they are messengers, that is their job, not flying around somewhere. Does anyone have the answer?
Jenny, Jenny He didn't do it. I looked under my bed and there was nothing for me. I struggled to clear my mind as I had been in a deep sleep, when Monica woke me. I wondered what she was talking about. What are you trying to say honey? There is no doll Jenny, there is no doll under my bed. Ah now I did remember. Monica wanted very much to have a dolly. I had told her to pray and ask the Lord for it.
She had done so and now believed that He had not delivered as she thought He would, by putting the doll under her bed. I tried to explain to her that God was not Santa Claus, that He works through people. I could tell that this was too much for her to understand, she was only five years old.
That very afternoon her girlfriend, who lived next door, came over to the house. Lisa was very excited. Monica, my dad just came home from a trip and look at what he brought me, a new doll, and if you want too, you can have my other doll.
Now Monica's eyes lit up and she looked at me with wonder, for she now understood that indeed, God works through people.
At times miss my wood stove, something about it, coming out of bed into a cold kitchen and then the stove heats up, glory Only difficult to bake in as the temperature varies so but still managed good. This was when living is a fruit pickers shack. In the summer you only had hot water through the wood stove, yeah that was fun................not
A very famous preacher, Hudson Taylor once said, Lord, THAT you will answer my prayer, I know! What fascinates me every time is, HOW you are going too answer.
That was having faith in His prayers being answered. Always exciting is the How.
The saved will not be in heaven forever! According to Scripture, Christians will be in heaven with Christ for a short period of time and then return with him to earth. Christians will then be involved with the responsibilities of Christ’s earthly Kingdom.
In the future Kingdom there will be different positions and responsibilities. At the Judgment, each person will “receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad” (2 Cor. 5:10). Therefore, every person will not receive the same reward or assume the same responsibilities. So, the question is not, “What will we be doing in heaven,” but, “What will we be doing in our future life on earth?” The answer to this question can be found in the Word of God.
The Lord is going to make a new earth that will literally be an “Eden” or “Paradise” and, just as God gave Adam and Eve work to do in the Original Paradise, there will be work to do in the coming Paradise. In fact, looking back at what God gave Adam and Eve to do in the Garden of Eden provides a prototype or a snapshot of what life will be like in the future Paradise. Genesis 2:15 speaks about two tasks that Adam and Eve had to perform. God put them in Eden “to work it and take care of it.” The NASB says, “to cultivate it and keep it.” Like any farm or garden, Eden required work or “cultivation.” Adam and Eve had to cultivate the garden just as any farmer has to cultivate and work the soil and take care of the plants.
Eden was a garden with wonderful fruits and vegetables, and therefore the second part of Adam and Eve’s job was to “take care of” or “keep” it. The Hebrew word translated “take care of” is shamar, which means, “oversee, protect, keep, have charge of, tend (for flocks and herds), guard, watch, preserve.” The world was full of animals and, in the Original Paradise, all of them were plant eaters (Gen. 1:30). Part of Adam and Eve’s work was to guard the garden and keep the wild animals from grazing in the Garden of Eden. Imagine Eve looking out the window of her house and shouting; “Adam, the lions are eating my favorite shrubbery. Adam! Get them away from my bushes!” Remember, lions will again eat plants in the future, so you may end up shooing them away from your bushes or your vegetable garden.
God gave Adam and Eve authority and responsibility in the Garden of Eden. He gave them work to do. It should, therefore, be no surprise that various types of work will be part of life on the new earth. The types or work mentioned below are almost always found in the context of the Millennial Kingdom, not the Everlasting Kingdom. Some types of work, like “gravediggers,” could not be available in the Everlasting Kingdom because there will be no death. Likewise, because there will not be a temple in the Everlasting Kingdom, all the duties associated with the Temple will be eliminated. Some types of work are clearly stated, while others are only implied.
Stringman that should be enough for us to want to go there, no more pain, no more suffering. Most of us have had that happen to us.............no more tears...........
Sure wonder it looks like the people are doing something wrong. They wear mask, do keep a few meters distance etc. so how come the virus is gaining ground in Europe?
Often reading comment of the people; In his 47 year career as a D.C. bureaucrat, Joe Biden voted on 31 bills that had tax increases on the citizenry in them. He voted "yes" on all 31 bills. Never once voted "no" on a bill that had a tax increase. If he gets elected, and an end of the energy industry in his platform, the middle class will lose 30-40% of our standard of living. His tax increases will just be the beginning of it. We will have $6 gas and $900 per month in home utilities with Biden. At least. Literally, the middle class will disappear if Biden gets elected. And it will happen quickly.
Hello Mary. It sounds like you have gone through a lot. The Lord never ever will give up on you. He welcomes you always back with open arms. You have a great and beautiful love for your Savior. From His side their is no greater love than hat He has for His children.............including you............
One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. "Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."
Hi, I am a Christian and when we do show this on the blogs all the non-believers show up and telling us to disappear. Strangely they are not able to stay away either............. We will do this "disappearing" act soon, very soon
Beautiful hplady, have not heard this before. I know that time is running out on this planet. So many hate the Lord, but He loves them anyway, even more than those who are already His children. Simply because they need Him more.
Too bad but the haters want, they insist that it was the Russians helping Trump. Leave them believing this as it seems to pacify them, keeping them happy....... No matter what has been shown to the contrary, they won't accept it, Who cares for we do believe the truth........ Putin told that he thought it was funny how much his name was used.
Oh this is a good one Riz. What a riot. You are the King of hatred, few hate as much a you do. your condescending, name calling etc. You even told me that you repay hate with hate.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
