Prophecy - "My little ones, I have truly poured out my Spirit upon you. Because I love you, yes, but also because I need you. I need you to proclaim the good news. I need you to keep my name above all names and to preach the gospel, preach the good news. Do not be afraid to use my name, to introduce me to people who do not know me. Use my name. Do not be afraid. There is power in my name. Share, share with everyone the good news of my coming. Tell them that I'm not Santa Claus. I am Jesus Christ, their Saviour. I am the Creator of everything that is. I am the only God. Go out. Spread the good news. Speak my word in my name. I am the God of gods. Introduce me, introduce me to all who will hear you. Be bold. You are my mouthpiece. You are my hands and my feet. You are my prophets for this day, for this time. I need you to be bold and do not be afraid for I go before you. I prepare the way. Open the eyes of the blind, the ears of the deaf. Show them the way. I depend on you. I need you and I bless you abundantly. Great is your reward."

Leave it to the Lord, and wait for him; be not vexed at the successful path of the man who does malicious deeds."
Prophecy - I just feel that the Lord loves this prayer group, the people in this prayer group, very much. Usually when we think of the Lord, he's usually a comfort to us. But I sense him saying that we, in turn, are a comfort to him. In a way, people like this group and other groups that make time for the Lord are a remnant, when you think of it these days and so the Lord relishes our presence very much.
Scripture Reading Esther 4:14 - "No; if you persist in remaining silent at such a time, relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but both you and the House of your father will perish. Who knows? Perhaps you have come to the throne for just such a time as this."
Joe spoke on "Thy Kingdom Come". What does "thy kingdom come" mean? Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraph 28:18 - In the Lord's Prayer, this refers primarily to the final coming of the reign of God through Christ's return. 28:19 - The kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Luke 17:21 - Jesus says, "The kingdom of God is among you." Jesus was saying that he was that kingdom. The kingdom of the world values power, wealth, honor and pleasure. These things are not bad in themselves but we can easily make them into idols. The kingdom of God values sacrificial love, forgiveness, humility and service. St. Therese of Lisieux: "Greatness is found not in a name but in the soul." Joe told of his struggle of the kingdom of this world versus the kingdom of God.
Leann has trouble driving at night. Last Friday, a physio person who came regularly to work with Ron, told Ron that he had to go to urgent care right away to look at a wound on his knee that was infected. This was around 4:15 in the evening and it was getting dark. The first part of Leann's miracle is that the physio person phoned around to see where the shortest wait would be and it was at Concordia which was the closest to their home. She dropped Ron off and got home safely because it wasn't too dark. All the way to and from the hospital, Leann was praying for a miracle that it wouldn't take too long. The next part of a miracle to Leann was that she had an excellent book to read when she got home to help her keep mind occupied and not worry. To her surprise, at 6 o'clock Ron phoned to say she could pick him up: not even two hours later. And she could pick him up at the same door she had dropped him off. That was another relief because she knew where that was, but she forgot her cell phone at home to let him know when she arrived. However, when she came to the hospital she could see him through the windows. She waved and Ron came out. She was able to drive home safely, go to Safeway to pick up the prescription and even buy two items for supper that was a favorite of theirs. And it only took about two and a half hours. Praise God!
