God, as my walk became stronger with you, but my flesh kept fighting, I struggled heavenly father. I had begun to see the light and as I did, Bondman was weakening, as he took his break from the Inner room, I was crushed, I thought oh Lord do not take him now, Lord give him the strength. God , I just want to let him know I am almost there.. Each and every step of the way you guided me Lord and I am so thankful.

Lord I praise you for the prayers love and support given to me here. Lord thank you for keeping Bondman going to love upon me and others. Lord, none of us know what our future holds, but you do Lord. Lord I praise you that Bondman, and the Mrs. and I along with others can praise you that I have reached the freedom you had ready for me. I am thankful, so thankful , God that you have kept Bondman in my life to see the fruit of his works that you placed upon his heart.
Bondman , never could save me God, but you could. You used Bondman to lead me to you and thank you so much.
God, I do not know when he will come home to you, nor do I know when I will come home, but God no matter who you call home first, we will all day be celebrating in eternity together. praises for that!

Amen

I write the above prayer because I am so thankful that the Lord has allowed and gave Bondman the strength to continue to be here. There are times when God will allow us to see the seeds we plant, grow and there are other times that we just have to have the faith in him, that as we continue to go forth in the harvest and plant, he will grow those people. I have heard once, that the Lord will only give to us the way we give to him, so if we give him a little, we get back a little, but if we give it all to him, he will give back so much more. I am not talking about money here, I am talking about life.

I know Bondman has been battling health issues, but through it all he has been there for me and you. May we pray that God will continue to lead Bondman each and every day and it may just be that he may have to follow the Lord some day to take care of other matters besides the IR but as we know God will provide for all us. It is hard to follow where God calls us, but as we do, the doors open for us, just as the door of the Inner Room opened for me and for all , it will one day be closed, but let us grab ahold of what was behind the door of the Inner Room, the wealth , the wisdom, the knowledge and so much more. Let us take what what we have and continue to learn to open doors of life for others.

Praying for you and the Mrs.

NEWS

The IR had 234 views and 156 views the last two days!! My prayer is for those who've read and have CHOSEN to act upon what the Lord's revealed to them.

Bless you as you move forward. The way is not easy, but Jesus said it would not be. The destination, however, is unbelievably wonderful - way beyond our wildest dreams!! Go, do it, and NEVER QUIT!!

FOR PRAYER

I have another broken tooth to be attended to tomorrow (Monday here in Oz) even though I'm too sick to go. It's a top front one, is all gone, and so I'm looking for a parrot for my shoulder, and then I'm a full pirate!

Each visit is something like having an operation done on me because of the weakness of my body these days - i.e., it takes me 5 to 6 days to recover from a simple half hour visit! I just recover and then am back to him for more to be done next Monday - it will be a minimum of 3 visits to fix this tooth (the previous one took 4 visits).

So if I don't seem to be round much, that's one reason.

I'm now ill enough that we no longer have any certainty of me being here "tomorrow", if you see what I mean. We live with the matter of death daily, and have done for a very long time. It's simply a part of life to us! There couldn't possibly be anything better than going to meet my beautiful Master of many years!! However I really must attend to some important personal matters we've not managed to get to recently.

I will keep you posted. Thankyou for your love and prayers!!!

After a long day at work today, I had the pleasure of having a wonderful Christian woman from church that is a Mary Kay consultant come to my house to give me a one on one beauty makeover.

It was so great! We had a great time. I did learn throughout the process that the lighting in my house is dark. We had to go back and forth from the living room to the bathroom to check to see if we had the right shade, plus I needed the big mirror to see better.

Through my walk with the Lord lately, I have had to allow him to do a makeover in me.
I had to allow God into my heart to help me find the inner beauty that he truly created with me. As we look at:

Psalm 51:10
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

I have found that as I open up my heart to God, he is doing a beauty makeover within me. He has been stripping those things that are not of him, those things that are not pure and holy. He has been ever so gentle and loving in restoring me to my salvation. I have had to ask on a daily basis for my spirit to be willing. Yes, I have had to fight the devil along the way. He does not want me to come to learn of the inner beauty I was born with. The devil wants me to believe the lies that he tells me when I look in the mirror the first thing in the morning. Oh yes, the devil does not sleep! He is prowling 24 /7 to see who he can steal from.

Whether we are a female or a male, it does not matter to Satan. He wants to take everyone down. As a matter of fact he wants to take you to the bottom of the pit. Maybe as you read this today, you feel like you are in that pit. Maybe you feel you are not worthy of anything or anyone. Folks I am here to tell you, you are beautiful just as God created you. You were designed and created uniquely by our Lord. He loves us all.

He loves us so much that he gave his only son to die on the cross for you and me.
Our sins have covered the beauty that is within us. As you open yourselves and allow God to do a makeover in your life, you will be so much more at peace. You will find the beauty and the joy that comes with accepting the Lord as your savior.

Being a woman, I always thought men had it easy. You know, it takes us women a longer time to get ready to start our day. We have to have our hair perfect, our makeup perfect. It takes us a lot longer to decide which outfit to wear for the day. For men, let’s see, they might have to shave a few hairs off their face, check to see if their nose hairs are neatly trimmed, slick the comb through their hair and they are good to go.

Honestly, both females and males can benefit from a makeover, the greatest makeover of all. To allow God to make us over, to strip away the muck that is not of him and allow him to continue to show us on a daily basis how beautiful we truly are. The best part of this makeover is the price. It is free! It does not require us to get our checkbooks out. We just have to open up the best makeup book and guide there is- His word- The Bible!
I just loving feeling the inner beauty that he has given me! Have a great God blessed day!

Heavenly Father, I pray that you continue to be with me and all my brothers and sisters here. Lord I pray that you guide us and help us to see the inner beauty we have because you Lord are in us. You have created all of us. We give praises to you and thank you for all that you do. We thank you for accepting us just as we are, sins and all. Lord, we pray that each new day be a new day with you. May you continue to clean our hearts, our souls our minds and our spirit.
Amen

It's such a blessing getting to read a post like this, to see how far you've come in a relatively short time, and to see the things the Lord is so graciously doing in your life.

Of course, as always, He can ONLY do what we will let Him! That's the deal. He will NEVER over-ride our freewill. But you are so open to what He wants to do in you - and that's why you're experiencing spiritual growth at a rate that is not all that common. It sure does my heart good to see, and I'm sure His heart much moreso!!

To me living in such a way that we are really PLEASING Him is an incredible blessing in itself. He is our "CENTER". He is the One Who makes our life work, gives us love and joy and so much more. Why would we NOT what to please Him and actually make Him HAPPY with us? That thought sure works for me!

Keep going, dear one! With all the ups and downs you've experienced this past year, you're doin GREAT!

Lots of love!
