Covid

[Addy]

Oh how I miss corporate Worship.

 

[Pearl]

He's right, I just tried it. Every little bit helps! I just learned something new.
Thanks, Barbara!

i think it's because the biggest part of your lungs is at the back of your body. Sticking with you brother. I pray each time I think of you whatever I'm doing. Sewing and holding you up in prayer. Unpacking the groceries and holding you up in prayer. Every little helps. Keep singing even if it's only in your thoughts and keep clinging to Jesus.

 

[Pearl]

Oh how I miss corporate Worship.

Me too.

 

[Addy]

Me too.

I clicked on that song that Truman posted.. and I got goosebumps from head to toe...
It reminded me of the POWER in Corporate Worship...

 

[Truman]

I bow down and kiss the SON.

When you've been broken, broken to pieces.
And Your heart begins to faint
'cause you don't understand.
And when there is nothing to rake from the ashes.
And you can't even walk
onto the fields of praise.

But I bow down and kiss the Son.
Oh, and I bow down and kiss the Son.

Let the praise of the Lord be in my mouth.
Let the praise of the Lord be in my mouth.

Well, though You slay me, I will trust You, Lord.
Well, though You slay me, I will trust You, Lord.
Though You slay me, I will trust You, Lord.
Though You slay me, I will trust You, Lord.

When the rock falls, falls upon you.
And you get ground to dust
no music for your pain.
You open the windows, the windows of heaven.
And then You opened me
and You crushed me like a rose.

This stubborn fool was ground to dust 21 years ago. I'd been given ample opportunity, but I was comfortable and wanted to keep it that way. I now realize that I'm not the center of the universe...I also realize that I'm still a work in progress.
He loves me...He likes me...He thinks I'm funny...He likes spending time with me. He knows exactly how to handle me.
I count these as five of the reasons I love Him so! :)

Our church is opening for real on Sunday but I don't know if there will be singing. I haven't been for over a year.

 

[Truman]

I...need....to...know...You.
I...want...to...see...You.
I...must...commune...with You.
I...choose...to...love You.

When I am here with You alone,
Kneeling before Your throne,
My heart has found it's home...once again! - I-You by Truman Coates

 

[Truman]

Me too.

Me three!

Our church is opening for real on Sunday but I don't know if there will be singing. I haven't been for over a year.

Our church has been open since Mother's Day last year... Had a couple cases I think, that recovered quickly thankfully, but mainly everyone is pretty healthy...there are probably about 100 people or more at this campus...

My last church of 8 years was small and a lot of them had got covid though. Probably like 10 or more. They are mainly family and get together a lot though...

At any rate, I think assembling in church in person is so important, because believers meeting together is so important. So many have fallen back spiritually because of covid regulations. Not even returning to church.

But anyway, a matter of prayer.

Hope you are feeling better today Truman. Need to check on our brother from India too. Him and his family also have covid.

 

[Truman]

Lord, bless, oh, what's his name, it's on the tip of my tongue, him and his family today and I pray that you keep them all safe. I ask in Yeshua's name, amen!
Five minutes ago, this burst into my heart, "Of this I am sure, I will once again see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."
I'd forgotten that one.
One more thing: for years, getting bloodwork done was a real chore, due to my many years of recklessness with needles.
I had no veins in my arms.
When I woke up from a coma in '04, one of the first things I noticed were spots of tiny pain all over my body.
Not realizing what had happened to me, I thought I must've relapsed.
They were needle pokes from the nurses trying to find a vein.
The last time I got a blood test, a few years ago, the nurse said three times, "It's anatomically impossible for you not to have veins there."
Whenever I was hospitalized, they'd have to get the I.V. nurse to take blood or put in an I.V.
Last September, alone in my room, God told me to stand up on my feet.
Before I could, He lifted me up. Before I could react, about six feet from me appeared a large ball of white light. I felt the burning rays go into my chest. I was blasted backwards off of my feet into my chair. It took 24 hours before I remembered that it had happened.
The reason I'm telling you this is because a few days or so after this happened, I noticed that all of the veins in my arms that I had destroyed, were back!
Last night, at the hospital, blood was drawn from a vein that hadn't been there since the '80s. First try!
I tell you these things to increase your faith.
I'm telling you, with every fiber of my being, revival is coming! We are going to see signs and wonders that have never been seen before.
God's been talking to me about this, through songs He has given me, and visions of thousand-foot waves, since 1995.
Please remember that I'm no one special, just one little man who, along with you, have a great, big, God!
Man, I look forward to corporate worship.
Also, I haven't led worship in so long, 15 years to be exact.
I believe it's going to happen...God's given me a whole whack of new songs!
I didn't know I was in such a talkative mood...I guess that's what happens when you feel loved! :)

 

[amadeus]

Always. Next time I'll take my guitar with me. Lol

By all means take it with you and let God anoint your fingers and mouth as you yield yourself always to Him. Give God the glory!

Last week, we were exposed to a friend, who, a few days later, tested positive for Covid.
His household got it, with his wife in the hospital in bad shape.
I have come down with a pretty intense virus.
I would appreciate prayer, since I'm immune at risk.

Praying...

@Truman the Levite ... I can barely type through the tears that are streaming down my face...

This thread has done something to me... our collective prayers for you these last 24 hours... and your music video of Kiss the Son... Plus your AMAZING testimonies..... It has broken me.... and it has awakened something in me... a thirst and hunger for HIM.

God is waking up HIS BRIDE..... He is drawing her unto HIMSELF.... He is wanting our PRAISE... He is wanting our WORSHIP... HE is wanting our PRAYERS.... our GOOD REPORTS.

Thank you @Truman the Levite for taking me to the place... where I can KISS THE SON.

I just realized the same thing within these last months... He loves me... He likes me... and He thinks I'm funny... LOL
Something happens when we are convinced of this... It changes EVERYTHING... It opens the heart to RIGHT relationship with the SAVIOUR.... and everything else grows strangely dim.... MY dear brother... YOU have brought me to this place... this precious place of simply bowing down... at HIS FEET.

Tear were streaming down my face while I was typing the words. He is so good!

He has been using the pandemic for our benefit. Trials and tribulations are blessings in disguise.
I don't know if you realize it, Addy, but you've also been a major blessing to me...as have many others on the Board. The Board of the Lord.
Talk about a surfing board!
