I shared this with my prayer group ladies and I’d like to give you a heads-up too. Please pray for God’s mercy, stay close to the Lord, build up the church community and enlarge our tents to hold more people who may run to the body of Christ for cover in 2022.

Yesterday when I picked up my husband’s prescription, I noticed that his script paper was printed at 4:44! Thank you Lord Jesus for reminding me that you keep your promise. Only you can draw Howard to yourself, not I or anyone else. As my old blog on 444, you’ll be faithful to do it. It is not by might, nor by power; but by your Spirit!

Satan sure knows how to dangle the right bait to drag us away from the Lord. I think for the more mature believers, it’s no longer the obvious temptations like drugs, alcohol, money or sex. I realize recently that for many, including me it is less obvious and more acceptable ones like despair, unbelief, self pity, busyness, etc.

My daughter, A is back home for thanksgiving break after three months in college. We were very nervous about her visit since when she left only three months ago, her mental state was very alarming and scary to witness. Days leading up to her coming home both H and I were tense and edgy. My son, E was dreading her visit too.

“In the essentials unity, in the non-essentials liberty, in all things charity,” – Saint Augustine

Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. – Romans 12:4-5

I continue to hear more and more young people in our area, who are transitioning and have transitioned to the opposite gender from their birth. I already know three families whose teenagers are transitioning and taking hormone therapy. One family is from a Christian background with a grandfather who is a pastor. Therefore, it’s a matter of time before someone comes to me with these questions in my ministry work.

I don’t remember my dreams often but when I wake up remembering my dream vividly, I like to write it down and process it. I’m quite certain this dream is from the Lord since the Bible verse of the day by Biblegateway.com is exactly about this situation.

1 John 2:15-16 (VOICE) – Don’t fall in love with this corrupt world or worship the things it can offer. Those who love its corrupt ways don’t have the Father’s love living within them. All the things the world can offer to you—the allure of pleasure, the passion to have things, and the pompous sense of superiority—do not come from the Father. These are the rotten fruits of this world.

I shared this resources with my prayer group. I pray that it helps you too.

This summer and fall, I’ve been enjoying and blessed by visiting area churches. I also formed relationships with believers in different churches that I would not have met if I stayed only at PAC. As the grave situation with Alex has been settled, I have been praying now about whether to go back to PAC or become rooted elsewhere.

I shared this information with my prayer Google group ladies and I believe it was a warning for someone in the group. Last time I checked there are 128 people receiving my emails. 😳 Some I don’t remember who they are and how we met. After I shared this message, couple of ladies replied back to me. One woman’s cousin died in the Christian cult with cancer and sadly she excommunicated herself from family members. Another shared that her daughter’s friend is involved with a cult-like church and now they are praying together if they should get involved to help this young lady. It’s important to get warned about Christian cults because after my research I see that it can happen to anyone with zeal for God but is biblically illiterate.
