Purposely Broken

Come join the River!
A mighty hour of prayer.
Mondays 5:30am, Tuesdays at Noon, Wednesdays 5:30am, Thursdays 4:30pm, Friday 9pm, Saturdays 6:pmEast Campus
Philippians 2: 5-8
.."Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. He humbled Himself and became obediant unto death, even the death of the cross."

Our Lord Christ took the low place all the time in His walk upon earth. When He went to Calvary He took the lowest place there was to be found in the universe of God, the very lowest, and He let sin and the curse of sin and the wrath of God cover Him. He took our place. He bore our load. By His precious Blood He won deliverance for us.Quietly bow before our Lord on that cross. Picture each wound as a wound He bore for you. Let the Love He has for you wash over you. Humble yourself, deny yourself, as He did for you.

Hippo double dare you......

John 15:1-5

John 15:2
" Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit He cuts away and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes...."

When trials and tribulations come your way and they seem to cut so deep, rejoice and embrace them for He is doing a mighty work in you. Do not let your feelings or flesh interfere with the Spirit of Truth that is at work in you to prune you so you bear richer fruit.

Matthew 7:14
"But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads to life and few are those who find it.

Psalm 27:13

"Unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living I would have despaired. Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage and He will strenghten your heart. Hope in the Lord and you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the Living."

Waiting on the Lord means to be activily worshiping and praying and seeking Him. Keep Him as your main focus. Laying down self. Filtering every circumstance and thought through the Cross.

Testimony

Hank and Me:
This last spring my father in law had to move in with us. He is suffering from a hereditary ailment as well as middle stages of alheizmers, so the doctors diagnosed. He had been living back east alone for many many years. Due to many life tragedies he had become quite bitter and not so very nice. During the first few weeks of him living with us Jim and I were so overwhelmed by the dificulty with dealing with his anger. After one very hard day I lay sobbing on my bed. We so wanted to love him and take care of him. He is 77 years old. As I was laying there The Lord spoke to my heart and told me to go apologise to him. I thought no way...aww come on...this man had verbally abused me for weeks. But He showed me that my heart was getting hard and resentfull to Hank. My flesh was screaming NO..But my desire to be obediant to God was more. I went in and got down on my knees and I apologised to Hank. Told him how I desired to be a good daughter to him. The floodgates opened in this man. He held my hands and cried and apologised to me. We came to an understanding that day. I have continued to pray fervently for my family. Folks have lifted us up in prayer at the River sessions as well as through our church prayer warriors. The power the Lord has worked in this home is mighty. Hank is kind, gentle, loving, trusting. Physically he is doing way better. My husband has asked me how am I doing it. I told him I am not. God is doing it through me. His relationship with the Lord is being rekindled also. The Lord has given us more than enough grace for each day. It has been truly amazing! It has humbled me in so many ways. I am so gratefull to the Lord that words can not even express it. By that one act of obediance the blessings poured out in that situation and made changes in hearts. I sooooo want to always be obediant for sure even when my flesh screams noooo now!. Commitment to worship and prayer, seeking a deeper personal relationship with Christ, is so amazingly worth it. We are all so unique to Him. How He shows us, teachs us, disciplines us.He answers our prayers, He loves us dearly, He teachs us gently, He is endless! Even when circumstances or people seem hopeless please keep pressing in and forward. Focus on Him and watch Him go to work. Tami D.

The River Sessions!

The River
It has been a glorious washing in the River this week! Many people seeking a deeper relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Many prayers of intercession for others.
Luke 11:1
…His disciples said to Him "Lord, teach us to pray…"
Making a commitment to come together with others and praying releases such a double portion of blessings! Not only do you grow in your personal relationship with Jesus Christ but you also open yourself to the Holy Spirit to work in others lives as well.
It is a level of fellowship with your Brothers and Sisters in Christ that will leave you drenched.
Mondays 5:30 am Tuesdays Noon Wednesdays 5:30 am Thursdays 4:30 pm Fridays 9:00 pm Saturdays 6:00 pm
