A small step forward is better than no step at all.

May God's Grace fall upon us all, Amen.

Final thoughts:
We don't realize how big the spiritual warfare is because we cannot see it. We are definitely living in times that are hard pressed on every side...
Our greatest weapon is to keep our eyes on Jesus.

Prayer Meeting Notes

10/3/2009 Saturday
Subject: Faith/ Faithfulness

Proverbs 27
-Flesh even desires to have some kind of encounter with God, the Holy Spirit desires it much more.
-True humility should start in the heart and then trickle outwards; if you dress in raggedy clothes it doesn't mean you now have humility.
-If you think you did anything praiseworthy, put yourself next to Jesus. Anything humble? Put yourself next to Jesus. Anything loving? Put yourself next to Jesus. Anything merciful? Put yourself next to Jesus.
-Matthew 25(parable of the talents)
-Quote from apostle Paul 2 Corinthians 12:10 "I am weak then I am strong"
-Search 1st the kingdom of heaven! Then everything else will fall into place.
-He who is in us is greater than He who is in the world.
-Need more faith! Why not? Lord can do it.
-Small plants>Something growing>Shadow>changed: more details down below.
-Abraham a man full of faith, never questioned God when God said all this land that I show you will be yours.
-Blessing even if need to wait for something to happen we can rejoice because we know it will indeed happen.
-By faith we can move mountains.
-There is a small value in flowery sermons, but a great value in sermons that speak the truth.
-Time to learn the word and live it!
-We are constantly reminded by God sa ne pocaim si sa ne indreptum si sa ne trazim (to repent, straighten up, and wake up) What then? Should we be proud of this? Not at all for this means we are still babes in the spirit. God want us to grow and bear fruit.
-Only God can help us, but we have to be willing to be helped and to put one foot in front of the other.
-Let us see the affects and power of the Holy Spirit not just talk. Let us see what God has in mind for us.
-Cine se cinseste si implineste cuvintul Domnului, Domnul se poate foloseste de El.
-Whomever consecrates/repents and obeys the Lord, God can use.
-Galations: Credita v Mindrie (aka faith vs pride) they might look the same at first but they lead to two very different results (Faith is taking pride in God and believing Him who is the creator of all things, whereas selfish pride says that it is taking the credit which belongs to God and this always leads to destruction. It is like trying to catch the wind. We are but His creation!)

*There were some lucrari (prophecy or word of knowledge I'm not quite sure which one it would translate to be) in which we were told that we need to humble ourselves to the ground and... ...also to stay filled with the Holy Spirit that we might immediately recognize a false prophet/teacher when we hear one. I have them recorded...
*Also I saw a vision of a garden with several rows of seeds that have barely begun to sprout and there was an enemy that kept trying to block the sun from the tiny plants. These plants were us. We are like babes in Spirit. We prayed and prayed and then I felt urged to pray that only God can help! And we cried out to the Lord and the plants started to bud, but a snake some parasites appeared and it was such a struggle! We prayed and then I realized that we were in the bottom of a very deep cliff and I was looking up from the bottom of the dirt and saw that we were completely covered. I then saw a large knife and so I prayed more, but realized the knife was actually cutting an opening that we might receive some light.
*Sora Maria Dusciuc came a bit later and she had a vision that there were Angels that would go around and fight off evil dark spirits with their swords and they were able to push back the enemy for us, but there was a long struggle. And those who prayed out of their whole heart with faith had the most victory. When the Angels used their swords a light would break through and cause the darkness to fall back.

Also we sang song #414 that really stuck in my mind... and another one that I thought was very appropriate unfortunately I forgot where it is so I will try to find it.

414
Suferinta lui Isus Mantuire ne-a adus.
Mantuire, vindecare si cu tatal impacare
De pacat si-avem iertare, prin Isus.
Iata, Fiul Celui sfant, E-ntristat pan' la mormant;
Lacrimi vars in gradina, sa primim a Lui lumina.
Plange-n Ghetsimani, suspina Domnul sfant.
Iata-L, dus pe la preoti, Si batjocorit de toti.
Osandit este la moarte cu cei rai sai aiba parte,
Dar El mila inca-mparte pentru toti.
Ducand crucea sus pe deal, cade jos, se scoala iar-.
Trupul Lui e numai sange, Inima la multi le-o frange
Si femei si mama-L plange, da-n zadar.
Suferinta Lui e grea, pe crucea din Golgota;
Chinuit striga: "Mi-e sete!" Ei I-au dat otet cu fiere.
Vai, ce grea-i a Lui durere, vai, ce grea!
Insa tot intre talhar a gasit al milei har
Si Isus i-a spus cu grai: "Azi vei fi cu Mine-n rai!"
"O, Tu, Doamne, mila ai de-un talhar?"
"Dar Eu am mila de toti, de talhare, de pacatosi,
De toti cei ce vin la Mine Si se leapada de sine;
Dar Eu mila am de tine si de toti."

-We prayed for rugatiune de cause (aka prayer requests) I realized that as I was praying for other people God had healed my back which I was contemplating making a Dr. apt asap because it was hurting so bad. I felt a warmth and than a relief on my back. God is good, and worthy of All praise. May God continue to help us all walk by faith not by sight and in humility and grace.

GBU all!


**my desire for anyone who reads this to repent and follow Jesus: the Word of God: Who was and is and is to come, while there still is time! He is very merciful, don't wait until He draws the line.

I strongly encourage you all to meditate on His word day and night and to pray without ceasing even in your dreams. It is high time to take God seriously, that we might rejoice when we see Him face to face -whether when He comes back or when we die. Nothing He says is in vain all things He says does indeed happen.

Prayer Meeting Notes

Holy Spirit

-Not of this world
-Need not to be grieved
-May God keep it within us by the renewing of His blood
Are you walking in Spirit or in flesh? What sets you apart from the world?

The trouble with people is that we want to know all things without making an effort to learn all things

Remember the ark in 2 Samuel 6 and how King David made haste and moved it how He thought it should be moved leading to the death of Uzzah... As opposed to 1 Chronicles 15 Seems like David finally read Deuteronomy 10:8 Numbers 8 there are many other references in the old testament concerning the ark. God gave specific instructions that only the sons of Levi can move it on carried on their shoulders. We need to have rivna with inteleptiune aka acts with wisdom. (I love how Deuteronomy 11:16-25 says to constantly put the word of God all around us and speak and remind each other about it all the time that we might have victory wherever we go.)

Ephesians 2...
We are made alive in Christ. Alive? Than this means that we were once dead without Christ. Can you love a dead man? Can a dead man say "I am tired of being dead, I think I'm going to come back to life." No! It is by Grace of God and His might love and power that we are mad e alive and new in Christ. That's how much God love's you. He took the initiative to make you alive. Then we can understand that the Holy Spirit desires us to be full of life and whole before God. Be full of Spirit!
Need to be under control of the Holy Spirit 24/7 otherwise we lead ourselves to destruction again and die. We need to pray continually and walk in the Spirit continually in order to grow in the Spirit. Feeding our bodies with much spiritual food letting go of our fleshy desires that our the Spirit in us will grow stronger.

Ephesians 1:15-17 ...I pray for you as Paul prayed for you... May Holy Spirit give you duh de descoperi si revelatie ca sa cunost pe Domnul (May Holy Spirit give you a spirit of discovery wisdom and revelation that you will come to know the Lord to really really know Him) Not in theory, but in a very real way.
