SAUL...murderer no more
Acts 9:17 The Master sent Ananias to Saul so that he could see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit. With the help of the Spirit, Saul begins preaching uninhibited in the Master's Name---so much so that the Jews and Hellenists wanted to kill him. He went from a voice of crime to a voice of compassion. Wonder what he thought about, what images were imprinted on is mind?
AENEAS...crippled no more
Peter healed this paralyzed man. All those in town saw the miracle and woke up to the fact that "God was alive and active among them."
TABITHA...dead no more
Tabitha was well-known for doing good and helping out. She became sick and died. Peter knelt beside her lifeless body and prayed. Tabitha sat up straight from the dead. I'll be in Joppa on Thursday. I weep as I think about seeing the spot.
CORNELIUS...separated no more
Acts 10:33 God puts things together like Cornelius meeting Peter. "And now we're all here in God's presence, ready to listen to whatever the Master put in your heart to tell us." That's where I am this very day. Given a trip to Israel and here we are in God's very Presence. Whether we are in Israel or Indiana, would you dear God please make us ready to listen? Acts 10:35 "It makes no difference who you are or where you're from—if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open."
I fly today to Tel Aviv...best birthday gift ever! God's provision in the midst of such transition.
My flight to Philadelphia leaves at 1pm today. How good of God to give me this trip to Israel. We depart for Tel Aviv from Philly tonight with 12 friends whom I adore! There are 72 or so on the 66 Love Letters Tour with Larry. I will post from Israel, if possible. There will be internet in the hotel. In the event that it doesn't work----Annette, would you go into this blog and post each day the date and Scripture if you see it didn't come up the night before? Thanks. I will call you from the airport in Dallas. I am going to try to blog every day on my other blog----we will see how that goes. Will miss you...Hope you all have a beautiful Thanksgiving giving your lives away to your family and friends!!! Happy Thanksgiving and Love, Bev
ReplyDeleteI will pray for safe travels for you today, Bev. Happy Birthday and enjoy the blessings Jehovah has poured upon you with this trip to the Holy Land!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Bev our Siesta Mama Pearl. I am so thrilled you are able to make this trip. I can only imagine what blessings God has in store as you worship Him in His Home Country. You remain in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteWe are so blessed to serve a God that whether we are in Texas, Indiana, Europe or Israel HIS PRESENCE is there for those who seek HIM anywhere in the World. The miracles I read in these chapters bless me and remind me that these same kind of miracles are present today for me to experience I must just Trust Him no matter what.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. I pray that your health will remain well as you travel the paths Jesus took so many centuries ago.
This is a Song I must Sing of Praise to the LORD for blessing Bev with this amazing experience beginning on her birthday.
Grace and Peace,
Sylvia
