The day with dianne Louise

“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways.” Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭24‬ ‭TPT‬‬ It is raining severely in Nepal, lansdslides are occurring and homes washed away. I have a friend whose foundations have been exposed causing him to move out of his house. Here is Australia the rains and cold weather have come. Awaken Australia is on in Brisbane with people standing in the rain as they sang and worshipped. The conference that I just attended was inside and I am grateful, however, I was to attend tonight’s crusade. May the Lord reign and have His way! I had prayer for two things that have been troublesome to me: my hearing and nerve pain in my right arm after the fall some seven weeks ago. For both of these issues God spoke to my heart and told me He was healing me. I will need to step into these by fai...

“And don’t be intimidated by those who are older than you; simply be the example they need to see by being faithful and true in all that you do. Speak the truth and live a life of purity and authentic love as you remain strong in your faith.” 1 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Remaining strong in our faith is important, finishing the race is paramount. I have walked with the Lord for 51 years and my love for Him has grown, exponentially. To be without Him would be empty and lack purpose. He is the light of my life, my strength and song. In this passage Paul, the elder, was encouraging Timothy the younger. I know many young believers, and likewise, I encourage them to finish well. Earlier this week I attended a Cfan three day training with three of my grandchildren. They sat up the back and watched the proceedings. They had hands laid upon them and went out on outreach. I was right down the front involved in worship. May my example speak. Last night my son called to tell me there had been 167 d...

““God did not send his Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it!” John‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭TPT‬‬ This is such a beautiful verse. In a time when the world races to destruction we need to be reminded that God loves people and wants all men to be saved. While doing outreach the past few days I watched the selpossessed reject our offer outright. It was the young and frail who received Him. Those satisfied with life under their own rule consider the gospel foolish. However, those who do receive Him become children of God and the self-righteous go on the path to hell. This is sad! Have mercy Lord! Amen!

“Wherever I go, your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me.” Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭10‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Today is the third day of Cfan outreach here in Brisbane Australia. It has been filled with the Holy Spirit. I love the worship as room is made for Holy Spirit. So good to be with people who love to worship. Tonight I move to the Gold Coast for a Bill Johnson conference. The Lord’s presence has been so beautiful. I had been wondering how I will get to the Gold Coast. Yesterday I met a woman from there and she showed me the way. Praise God! Last night on the way home we had a flat tyre. I walked the last kilometer while my son changed the tyre. I needed to pack for today, shower and have dinner. My grandson Ryan showed me the way in the dark. It is so good to worship our God! He is worthy of all praise! Amen!

“for we all have sinned and are in need of the glory of God. Yet through his powerful declaration of acquittal, God freely gives away his righteousness. His gift of love and favor now cascades over us, all because Jesus, the Anointed One, has liberated us from the guilt, punishment, and power of sin!” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Yesterday we did outreach in front of the Town Hall in Brisbane. We saw a cripple get out of his wheelchair and walk, several commit their lives to Christ. The worship before and after was crazy. Young people jumping for joy. Yet many passed by refusing to engage. They were upright people who deemed us foolish. I had a good conversation with a woman my age who admitted to being a nominal Catholic. We talked for a good half hour. I left her with material and told her I wanted to see her in eternity. The young people have embolden me to go a step further and invite people to pray then and there. Today is another opportunity. Lord lead me to the people Yiu have...

“So keep being alert and ready at all times. For I promise you that the Son of Man will surprise you and appear when you don’t expect him.” Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭40‬ ‭TPT‬‬ These are Jesus’ words. He is warning us to be ready for Him. We can ignore Him and suffer at our own peril. We are watching the world hurtle towards the end and prophesy is being fulfilled. How can we ignore Him? I have family I love who are ignorantly proceeding along life’s path. How can they not see? Open eyes, Lord! Open ears! Have mercy Lord!

“I am Yahweh, your mighty God! I grip your right hand and won’t let you go! I whisper to you: ‘Don’t be afraid; I am here to help you!’” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭13‬ ‭TPT‬‬ This chapter in Isaiah is filled with God’s promise to be right with us in the fires, holding our right hand. He promises that even though our enemies rail against us, they will be defeated.  God also challenges our idols. Do we have idols? What and who is our security? Is money, health, relationships? Our God is a jealous God and will have no idols before Him. The Lord’s presence is all I need. Amen!
