Good night Lafftur It has been great to see you encouraged and sharing in here, I personally always want you to feel safe and nurtured in the love of God. Have a good laugh with God in peaceful rest now Amen!
Correct!! Haha there are many lil islands in the pacific ocean as well. My parents migrated from Samoa to NZ, which you can just see below Australia - where our lovely sister HUFL is from
The woman's name was Agnes, which always makes me think of God because of Agnus Dei Worthy is the Lamb![video=youtube;JQJzT8yjMBY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQJzT8yjMBY[/video][SUB][SUP]

Okay, first of all - Thanks for the Birthday Bash! It was awesome!
As far as my day? Well, work forgot the memo on the awesome! LOL...But that is Ok - I celebrate it because I am His and created in Him, by Him, for His purposes and intentions, so with a special HALLELUJAH Attached I worked all the more and had my own internal Bash!!
But now I am off work, and my Birthday is over (so that business is put to rest) LOL ... now I can join you guys in Church.....Don't tell anyone but we are having Church up in here! The milk is turning into meat as the Word becomes alive in us! As we Living it, we begin to encourage it - one with another as born-again Children of God!
When I signed up for CC - This is what I was starving for - Fellowship!
When our spirit flows with the Holy Spirit and we obey - and another spirit flows with the Holy Spirit and obeys - there is power in the room! Wonder working power! And as it is a one-way power it sweeps us up with a force to be reckoned with; even knocking us off OUR feet. Jesus is the river of life that passes by us all in community as we all add our power God has installed in us as transformed lives to that river flow. overwhelmingly He gives us tears of joy and praise increasing our encouragement all the more! Our possessions become a tool for God to use and are not our own, our homes opens up to all God wants to touch base with. It is where God blesses us and moves us in the Words teaching and rebuking and correcting and training as we are touched by the fullness of His ever tender loving grace and care.
This is encouragement! This threads theme has become godly encouragement by simply being in Christ! It is encouragement by definition! It is Church by definition! It is Righteousness by definition!
How can all of these separate things be by the same definition - as encouragement? The Bible says the "fruit" not the "fruits" of the Spirit are....etc etc.. This shows us if we are in Christ we receive them all at once as the flow of the Holy Spirit is the same in character for us all, as we grow into both the experience of the death we went thru with Jesus on a Cross as a fact, and the Redemptive life we are being molded into now..as a powerful fact we will also experientially be trained in by God Himself via Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and circumstances.
It is awesome to see, read, and feel here! Thank you all for being surrendered to Him! Keep it all up, for there are many we do not see - That are watching! And God is showing His love one with another as His Family. It is good to be here.... I can rest with you in Christ!

Wow - Amen to everything you have just said - yes it was an AWESOME day of fellowship today - and you're right about there being many eyes we're not aware of looking on to view our words and love in the Lord we share! There are plenty of guests that read it all too and view how we are open to each other and encouraging one another as we celebrate in Christ - AWESOME INDEED!
Ok - I've been getting a nudge here in my spirit to do this, despite my computer not co-operating! So here goes:
As I'm going about my day, I am reminded of the one thing that to me has been a highlight in recent times, and something that I'm truly grateful to the Lord for doing in this last year, and that is, He has given me a renewed sense of hope that despite having my life and everything in it torn apart over this last decade, that there is indeed hope and a plan in place that God has ordained for me, to bring about the renewal, restoration and restructure (3 r's lol) of His path and purposes for me. It might not be anything tangible in the sense of it being a new car, house or anything else that can be measured by worldly standards, it is to me however, the most wondrous and beautiful thing I've ever experienced in not only my journey of faith, but in my whole life to date. Thank YOU Jesus! I praise Your holy name...
And I do love that picture of our party frocks for today! It reminds me of special times shared...

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." - (John 8:39).
If there is any remnant of individual conceit left, it always says "I can’t." Personality never says "I can’t," but simply absorbs and absorbs. Personality always wants more and more. It is the way we are built. We are designed with a great capacity for God; and sin and our individuality are the things that keep us from getting at God. God delivers us from sin: we have to deliver our selves from individuality, i.e., to present our natural life to God and sacrifice it until it is transformed into a spiritual life by obedience.
God does not pay any attention to our natural individuality in the development of our spiritual life. His order runs right across the natural life, and we have to see that we aid and abet God, not stand against Him and say – I can’t do that. God will not discipline us, we must discipline ourselves. God will not bring every thought and imagination into captivity; we have to do it. Do not say – O Lord, I suffer from wandering thoughts. Don’t suffer from wandering thoughts. Stop listening to the tyranny of your individuality and get emancipated out into personality.
"If the Son shall make you free . ." Do not substitute ‘Saviour’ for ‘Son.’ The Saviour sets us free from sin; this is the freedom of being set free by the Son. It is what Paul means in (Gal. 2:20) - "I have been crucified with Christ," his natural individuality has been broken and his personality united with his Lord, not merged but united. "Ye shall be free indeed," free in essence, free from the inside. We will insist on energy, instead of being energized into identification with Jesus. Let your Hope, which is Jesus Himself, be the Way, and the Truth and the Life of whom He has now made you to be! Dying to the right to ourselves frees us in the fact we died on the Cross with him. As it is a fact! And being transformed by His workmanship in Redemptive living thru Righteousness is indeed freedom. His Lordship is our ticket to ride! Sing it Sister! Sing it! LOL..

Thank You for your testimony dear Sister; whom I am getting to know so well. You have harbored hopefulness in Christ and this is an amazing feat this last year as you have faced many circumstances which God has used. This sets the precepts to the gift I want to give to you in my vision of discernment for you in Christ Jesus! The gift of FREEDOM in Christ!
