Dear friends,

In the last few messages I've been writing about what I believe is
the most important thing. I received a note from a prayer
partner today that contained a long series of graphics, which, in
turn, contained a number of statements and affirmations. I'd
like to share the text of that message with you today.

May God continue to renew your mind and your spirit this week as
you remain in Him.

Your Brother in Christ,
Brian

"Casting the whole of your care[all your anxieties, all your
worries, all your concerns], once and for all] on Him, for He
cares for you affectionionately and cares about you watchfully."
1 Peter 5:7

I answered the phone this morning.

"Hello, Oh how are you ?" the other person said "fine thanks" and
as she asked the same question, I replied also with the same
words. Fact is my dear brother and sister, dear reader,
everything is not so fine always isn't it so true?!!

Sometimes our hearts cries out. " No! I am not fine, I am going
through a real trying valley right now and tears are my food.
But who wants to listen anyway isn't it so?. The Lord wants me to
encourage you tonight dear fellow pilgrim. If your heart cries
out in this day "Lord send me a refuge"!!! "Lord will you
intervene, please!" or "Lord I am so sick, I can't take the pain
any longer. Won't you heal me, please Lord?!" Or perhaps you say
in this day "I cannot take life anymore. My financial situation
is so bad, I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Lord, please send a refuge for me." Perhaps your trial and tears
has been so much and heavy, when you kneel down to pray, there
are no words. Only more tears. Hear me today my precious
beloveds. That is prayer too. And He will come and wipe away
the tears with His own gentle Hand. God our Heavenly Father. Our
Abba, Abba Father, cares and "hears" your tears in this day.

He, our Lord Jesus Christ was a man of sorrows and pains and
acquainted with grief and sickness..........He bore our grief's
(sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows
and pains. Yes He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised
for our guilt and iniquities and with the stripes that wounded
Him we are healed and made whole. Isaiah 53.

Yes He knows what we are going through and He is not a Shepherd
that whips us as we so often feel. No with His rod He protects
us from our enemies and gently with His staff, He guides and
comforts us (Ps 23 Ampl Bible) Yes, dear one, if today you feel,
you cannot face another day just hear what He says in (Habakkuk
3:19 Ampl Bible) verse 19 "The Lord God is my Strength, my
personal bravery, and my invincible army: He makes my feet like
hind's feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in
terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high
places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!".........

Are you a wounded soldier today? His Hand is there for you to
pick you up and hold you against His loving breast.

Oh! dear reader, you are not alone. He is here, now while you are
reading, yes, even while you "feel" that He is so far away.
Won't you trust Him anew in this day with the knowledge that His
word says in Hebrew 11:6 "For whoever would come near to God must
believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who
earnestly and diligently seek Him" This wonderful Shepherd Jesus
our Lord, cares about you. He loves the strong sheep very much,
but the weak and weary and sick in His flock, His eyes are
constantly upon them to sustain them and to help them. He is
immediately "there" for those that desperately needs Him. Oh!
what a wonderful Jesus. You feel so alone. No, He is here with
you now.

I write to you in this day to tell you that Jesus will n e v e r
ever leave you helpless. Just listen to what He says in Hebrew
13:5 "He God Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you not
give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will]
not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake
not let you down (relax My hold on you) [Assuredly not!]."
Praise the Name of Jesus!! He is with you!!

Listen He will not fail you. Don't be so afraid. He is right
here with you right now.................. Now listen to the song
until you feel that the Lord ministered to you my beloved fellow
pilgrim to Heaven. Just be quiet, or cry your heart out before
Him if you want to. He is right here with you. May this words
bless your hearts in this day.

May Jesus meet you right now and fill you with new strength.

Wilna.
