Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Romans 12:11-13 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.12.11-13.ESV
This morning the Holy Spirit woke me up and I could feel all the prayers of the saints of God! I heard the Lord say there is a great falling away happening and it is so subtle. The enemy would try to lure our hearts away with cares, concerns and isolation but we must choose Christ.
My family and I are serving our First Nations brothers and sisters in BC, Canada. We have faced many battles, and He has seen us through by His grace! Thank you for prayers for us and this special village. We also got our Canadian base set up in Prince George which is the local town for this remote village we are working with called Tsay keh Dene! We have been blessed with a precious home store trailer as a work residence, right next to the store.
It takes 8 hours on a dirt road to get home to Prince George where our friends and family are! We had a really good visit in May and connected with the Body of Christ! I helped play my violin for a live recording of a precious one that passed away, the mother-in- law of Bill Taylor. It was so special to take part in the honoring of this Mother. We have gotten to know the Taylors and they have been family to us when we are in Prince George along with Pastors Ron and Sharon at Faith Alive. Our hearts go out to the many connected to Mama Ziemer during this grieving time. Blessings and much love!
Thank you to Pastor Ron and Sharon and the many others who gave to help us set up our base! I also was able to send away for my Canadian residency application. Daddy God wants to pour out His Holy Spirit but first we need to get our hearts ready. He has been dealing with my heart personally on pride and my motives of why I do what I am doing. One of the things that He did in my heart was bring a deeper revelation of the Father’s love for me as His daughter (son). He loves us not for what we do but just because we are His children! We are vessels for His love first and foremost. When He sees His Son’s life in our hearts, this is what He approves. A choice to live from the life of Christ!
It has been a whirlwind these past 2 months so sorry if we have been out of touch! Anthony has been working fulltime as the store manager where His mom use to work. I have been working fulltime as a homemaker with our kids Alexander and Michael.
Our community here in Tsay keh dene is still closed down and we have not really been able to meet as a Church group. We have been calling the body as the Lord leads and have been in regular prayer / fellowship through the phone with the Elders. Their is a core group of believers praying and hungry for a move of God! Please pray with us for the reality of God’s fire and love to flow in us all here! We need God so much.
Praise report! An elder’s granddaughter came to the Lord, a dear sister was delivered of oppression over the phone as we prayed together and one case of Covid in the near community proved to be nothing! The one case of positive Covid in our community did not spread. Anthony was also able to lead two young people in accepting Jesus. The Lord Jesus Christ is on the throne.
We are believing things will open up soon! Pray with us for the reality of God and His presence in ALL we do here. God is good! Praying daily for a great awakening and a habitation of His presence in our lives.
