Psalm 100:4-5 – "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures for ever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."
wishing all of my pilgrim pals a very joyful thanksgiving...love terry
".....I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness...."
I have been going through "hell" for a few days. I will return to work in two weeks and anxiety is high in my spirit. I'm being forced into a corner in a sense - my doctor signed off on an insurance form without meeting with me first to discuss the content. He acted very cold and indifferent towards me last Friday. I was supposed to do a trial return to work in November but the insurance company faxed a form with a very different story and the doc signed it. But in all of this "hell" and almost despairing over the weekend I know God is in control - this is all His plan - not the plan of men. God has been allowing a "pressure cooker" to build in me - it's time to make serious decisions. He is saying to me, "whom shall you serve - men or God? It is time to decide little one. Make your choice - security this world offers or the security of serving the Living God who called you to go to my harvest field. Look with spiritual eyes - NOT the eyes of men who do not know me - who do not serve me."
I am in need of much prayer support in the weeks ahead as I return to the job while taking certian steps towards leaving on mission - hopefully by next spring/summer - permanently. I will try and either sell my condo for money or rent it out for a steady "income" as a missionary. Please pray much for me as I make decisions according to God's will. Yours in Christ, Little Missionary.
no words of mine...only words from the lord for felisol's wonderful father.
Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
Psalm 33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Psalm 89:1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 90:1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations
Psalm 112 1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God
Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Dear Pals, Terry saw this video of prayer time in my house and suggested that I post it here on Pilgrim Pals.
Through prayer we unleash the divine power of God to demolish the strongholds of Satan. We come against the darkness of oppression,injustice and spiritual bondage. Here are four Satan ' s strongholds we can demolish through prayer.
1. POLITICAL STRONGHOLDS: Satanic inspired laws. Pray for ungodly leaders to repent or be removed from influence (Prov21;1, 1Tim 2;1-4) Pray for God honoring leaders to be placed in power and for righteous decisions to be made that will exalt the nation (Prov 14;34)
2 CULTURAL STRONGHOLDS Satan inspired traditions. Pray for people to be free from the aspects of their worldview that are harmful and unscriptural. (1Cor 1: 20-33)
3 RELIGIOUS STRONGHOLDS Satanic inspired beliefs. Pray for people to see the emptiness of religion and seek the abundant life to be found in Christ. (Acts 17: 22-31 , John 10:10)
4 SPIRITUAL STRONGHOLDS Satanic inspired worship. Pray for people to see the foolishness of serving the created instead of the Creator. (Isa 44:9-20, Matt 4: 8-10)
this week i visited amrita's blog and looked at this wonderful post that she had created. i am leaving the url of it here and for sure it is well worth watching and listening to the video she has put there...a video of her own making! this will bless your soul! it did mine. have a blessed lords day pals....love terry
I went to go sign in to post on Pals...and i guess it has been so long i have forgotten the login info because it rejected the password as I remember it! So, some Pal, pls post this for me!!
I am ashamed to say I have not been on Pals for at least a month. I have been terrible busy, too busy for blogs, but not too busy for prayer, and I do think of y'all frequently.
Last week my sister and I started working at our new job...teaching at a small, private Christian school. Our first day of school is Tuesday, but classed begin Wednesday. Last week we just worked on classroom set up, organizing stuff, etc.
I am a little stressed out (actually more than a little, VERY stressed out) because I have to teach Seconday 3 & Seconday 4 Science classes....without a textbook!! I also have to teach ERC (the ever-controversial ethics and religion course), and Journals, and the other subjects the students do online and so my job is much easier in those areas. I could use a lot of prayer, if I may ask for it, as well as for my sister, who is also a little stressed...and while I am at it, my close friend will also be teaching there for the first time and she is also, yes you guessed it, stressed!! We ARE, however, looking forward to working together, and are carpooling three days a week, so there is that time together to look forward to as well.
On the plus side, there is soo much to write about...tomorrow it will be a year since we started attending the church we currently go to, and so much has happened in that year. God is so faithful! Last year I had the honor and priviledge of leading my youth worship team as we did the praise and worship for our church...what a blessing! They did so well, and I am so proud of every one of them! I have pics, if any of the Pals want to see them, pls email me!
Another exciting thing to report is that I was told last week that in my journals class I will be teaching and encouraging my students to blog...so as a good example, yes, I have finally opened a blog...a private blog. You who have any of my email addresses (since I do have a few) please email me and I will invite you to read it. I have a new email addy that is right on my new blackberry so its easier for me to respond to...if you know how to spell it, its my first and middle name together @gmail.com. But I do check my other addys as well, so I will get your emails either way.
God bless each one of you, keep up the faith, and hope to hear from you soon!
