Scripture Reading Matthew 6:19-21 - "Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and woodworms destroy them and thieves can break in and steal. But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor woodworms destroy them and thieves cannot break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Scripture Reading Joshua 1:9 - "I command you: be firm and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord, your God, is with you wherever you go."
Jesus is always with us.
Scripture Reading Psalm 93:1-2 - "The Lord reigns, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord has clothed and girded himself with strength. Indeed, the world is firmly established; it will not be moved. Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting."
Words of Knowledge - The Lord will find a job for someone. He will help someone get a house. He will do many healings, heal someone of sinusitis, heal someone who was in a car accident a few years ago and still feeling sore, healing knees and ankles, heal a heart disorder, heal cataracts and macular degeneration.
Vision - I had a vision of a priest baptizing a baby and both the priest and the baby were in all white and around them were a lot of cribs and the cribs were filled with babies and they were in all white waiting to be baptized.
Scripture Reading Psalm 46 - "God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in time of trouble. So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken and mountains fall into the ocean depths; even if the seas roar and rage, and the hills are shaken by the violence. There is a river that brings joy to the city of God, to the sacred house of the Most High. God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed; at early dawn he will come to its aid. Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken; God thunders, and the earth dissolves. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Come and see what the Lord has done. See what amazing things he has done on earth. He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows, destroys spears, and sets shields on fire. 'Be still,' he says, 'and know that I am God, supreme among the nations, supreme over the world.' The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge."
Prophecy - "My desire, my people, is to heal you, to deliver you, to have you live a life of abundance. I desire for you to receive my Spirit. But, my people, I need your yes, I need your permission. So many of my people do not believe that I can heal them, that I can deliver them, that I can give them abundance, and that I can give them my Spirit. My people, my chosen ones are hurting due to listening to so many that do not believe. I want your yes, I want your permission, my people. I love you with an everlasting love."
Scripture Reading Ezekiel 3:1-11 - "God said, 'Mortal man, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel.' So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. He said, 'Mortal man, eat this scroll that I give you; fill your stomach with it.' I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey. Then God said, 'Mortal man, go to the people of Israel and say to them whatever I tell you to say. I am not sending you to a nation that speaks a difficult foreign language, but to the Israelites. If I send you to great nations that spoke difficult languages you didn't understand, they would listen to you. But none of the people of Israel will be willing to listen; they will not even listen to me. All of them are stubborn and defiant. Now I will make you as stubborn and as tough as they are. I will make you as firm as a rock, as hard as a diamond; don't be afraid of those rebels.' God continued, 'Mortal man, pay close attention and remember everything I tell you. Then go to the people of your nation who are in exile and tell them what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to them, whether they pay attention to you or not.'"
Prophecy - "I am the Alpha and the Omega."
Joan spoke on "Being a Soldier of Christ". 1 Cor 16:13-14 - "Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong. Your every act should be done with love." The bible is our training manual. We go through training as we encounter trials, challenges, setbacks, disappointments. James 1:2-3 - "Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance." Spiritual weapons: Scriptures (learn scripture verses and speak the truth in love, to ward off temptation, to fortify us), Sacraments: Confession (Psalm 51:10 - "A clean heart create for me, O God, and renew within me a steadfast spirit." Story of a friend with an addiction who went often to confession and the pull of the addiction lessened.), Eucharist (strengthens and heals us), Sacrament of Matrimony (we can call on the graces of the Sacrament of Matrimony all throughout our married lives), Sacrament of the Sick (story of Joan's dad), the Rosary (Pope Pius IX - "I could conquer the world if I had an army to say the Rosary." Padre Pio - "Love the Madonna and pray the Rosary, for the Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today." St. Josemaria Escriva - "Today, as in other times, the Rosary must be a powerful weapon to enable us today in our interior struggle and to help all souls." Fr. Valendo Vertruro said, "As an army has its march music marking the time for the soldiers, so does the Rosary lovingly mark time for the Church Militant." The Church Militant is us.), Forgiveness (story of Maria Goretti). Duty of the moment: Each task, no matter how small, can become a prayer offering to God for someone somewhere if it is done with joy and love. The battle of Jericho (Joshua listened to the instructions of the Lord and the walls of Jericho fell.) Psalm 37:5 - "Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him and he will act." Song: "Lift High the Banners of Love".
A number of months ago, we had prayed for Richard and Natalie's granddaughter to conceive. With the help of a doctor, God has granted this desire. Praise God! Now, we ask for prayers for a healthy baby or babies (it may be more than one).
Richard shared that our printer quit working. It showed that there was a problem with the printer head. There were many suggestions on YouTube to fix this problem, which were done, but still the printer did not work. The manufacturer said that the only solution was to buy a new printer. Looking around for other printers, it was clear that this was a very good printer and on top of that, there was over a $100 worth of unused ink which could not be used on any other printer. Richard and Natalie prayed again for a solution. Before taking it to the recycle place, Richard looked again online for a solution and we think it was not by chance but by the Lord's leading that he found a different solution in a different place, which we tried. And the printer works!!! Thank you, Lord.
