Why We Blog...

This blog is born because we, who have been with Christ, cannot contain our joy and excitement as we know Him more and hear His voice. We must share with each other what He is saying and doing! So this blog is created to connect the Body of Christ and to bring glory to His name. This is a place to share scripture, words of encouragement to the Body, stories of God's work in your life, hymns and spiritual songs, as well as, testimonies of what God is teaching you through time with Him and prayer requests. Please share only what will encourage, unify, and spur us on to fullness in Christ. Be mindful that almost anyone may read this. We pray this will be a tool that brings God glory, unifies His children, and is a light in the darkness. If you'd like to be an auther, email Michelle. Otherwise, follow and be sure to comment!

Ambassadors



This is for Alicia and Andrea......I was writing scriptures this morning and came across this passage and it made me think about the two of you. Eph 6: 19-20 "Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should." Yes, this is Paul writing from prison, but his obedience and faithfulness! Alicia you said that at one point you could not even hear yourself praying, but this scripture encourages us to ask for the words to be given to us and how awesome that we can pray with boldness the message of Christ. God wants to accomplish His plan through us no matter where we are (here, Africa, etc.)! And Andrea, you mentioned how humbled you were to be laying hands on mothers and children and praying for their healing not just on this side but for eternity. I am in awe at His love, mercy and faithfulness. I am honored and blessed to see Him working through us! I feel like I have a front seat at the best show on earth....are you laughing at me now?! It's ok, I'm smiling too.

    Thank you for that encouragement, Mary! Just got to read it today, and BOY did I need it. We are called to be His ambassadors wherever we are - in Ghana or in Tulsa!

    The word of the Lord to us, His children:
    "I am moving in My ambassadors. You who have been silent, You will be My vessels, My agents of reconciliation. My word in you, My Spirit's power, My glory. Nations will come to the light of My glory in you and many will be reconciled. This is an outpouring on My church as never beffore, power to reconcile the nations. Child go! Never fear. Go in My name. For at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, and every tongue confess, I AM Lord and no power of hell can overcome you.
    "How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace and brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, and says to Zion, Your God reigns! Isaiah 52:7"
