What is on My Mind?
Filed Under God is Good!, Itinerary | Leave a Comment
Hi everyone,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
It´s been a while since I last updated this blog and I am sorry about that. I pray that you will still check it our once in a while and that the Lord Jesus Christ gives me grace to write here more often to tell you what He does for us here in Moravian Falls. We´ve been to 3 conferences since last time I wrote here. Two of them we hosted here in Moravian Falls and one we hosted in Franklin, Tennessee. When I say we I mean Gary Oates Ministries with staff and interns.
The first conference we had here that Sanna and I was a part of was “Charting the Course in Changing Times” and the speakers were Gary Oates, Bobby Conner and Rafaela Silveira. It was great to be a part of it all and have the opportunity to listen to them all preach and teach. It was great fun! It was the first time I met Bobby Conner and it was very inspiring. It made me want to learn scriptures like he does. I don´t think he opened the Bible at all during his sessions but I probably quoted more than 50 verses to us. It´s pretty amazing!

I Am a Friend of God
Filed Under Devotional | Leave a Comment
Jesus loves me and calls me His friend:
Just read this in John 15:12-17 (New King James Version)
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
Jesus wants you to know Him. He wants to spend time with you. This is something that have caught my attention the last week. I really want to be Jesus´ friend. He wants to provide for all my needs and I want to be close enough to Him to rely on Him always. And I want to lean on Him always just like we can read about in Song of Solomon 8:5 (NKJV)
Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning upon her beloved?
I´m telling you right now, that I´m the one coming up from the wilderness leaning on my beloved Jesus Christ. I will not be ashamed of my beloved again. I love Him and He loves me!
This is one of the promises we have in Psalm 91, v.1-2 (NKJV):
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
So that´s where I want to be; in the secret place of the Most High.
I just wanted to share with you what´s on my heart. Seek Jesus with all your heart and he will let you find Him according to Jeremiah 29:13-14a
13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the LORD
BLESS YOU!!!
