Even so my friend. We must always pray carefully for God's will, which may not always be what we presume it to be. He always knows. We, all of us, need to continue growing in Christ... that is toward God and following Him. When we stop growing before the dirt in thrown over our faces, is there not a problem... with us? When we are not following Him, is there not a problem... with us?Let us all pull up a chair and sit and listen real carefully .
allow a flea a few words my friend .
Now i want us to take a good long look at those pictures .
Now allow me to tell us of a reminder i heard first hand from those who had experienced this , which i say next .
There was once a group of american evangelical pastors . They had plenty and
believed it was their duty from GOD to go down into south america and to witness about JESUS
to these poor people.
So , off they went , they boarded the plane determined to save some souls for JESUS . What a beautiful mindset .
Ponder that , to win souls for JESUS .
Anyway . They arrived . The speaker said we were taken to the area .
upon arrival we were greeted and treated well by the people .
They invited us into their houses . They were very poor indeed . They had great joy
and spoke about Christ with the upmost hope . They shared what very little they had with us at the table .
The longer they spoke about CHRIST , the longer they spoke about the HOPE they had , the longer
we saw the JOY IN THEM , WE SOON realized it was not they who were poor or who had lost anything .
IT WAS US who knew not the joy , the peace , nor the hope these poor people had . BUT what the world sees as poor
AINT ALWAYS POOR now is it my friend. These leaders had set off to save them people
and had realized it was they who needed the saving . Saving from what american churches taught them .
YOU see they had believed in the prosperity gospel , the name it and claim it , the Kings kids new age junk .
THEY had no idea it was THEY who were poor and that the very poor they had been sent to give aide too
WERE THE RICH IN FAITH , though poor according to the world , THAT THEY HAD NEED TO HEAR FROM .
I PRAY TO GOD that sinks into this Generation and real fast . REAL fast . Now lift those hands up my friend .
What matters IN THIS LIFE , is THAT WE TRULY KNEW JESUS CHRIST . For HAD we known HIM
no matter our circumstances , I TELL US we would have had all WE NEEDED and such GREAT HOPE , HOPE that actually
DOES ABOUND , cause the hope aint in what we have or dont have in this world , BUT RATHER THAT WE HAVE CHRIST .
THAT ALONE is all that matters . As i am sure you already agree my friend .
ALWAYS .Even so my friend. We must always pray carefully for God's will, which may not always be what we presume it to be. He always knows. We, all of us, need to continue growing in Christ... that is toward God and following Him. When we stop growing before the dirt in thrown over our faces, is there not a problem... with us? When we are not following Him, is there not a problem... with us?

Yes, my pastor friend is Nepali. He studied at a seminary here in Los Angeles and that is where we met him. He and some Egyptian seminary students were attending church with us.The Nepal people who go out into the countryside of Nepal are the missionaries in Nepal.
Nepal has always been reached for God by the Nepalis themselves.
What i say next will probably bring tears to our eyes .Yes, my pastor friend is Nepali. He studied at a seminary here in Los Angeles and that is where we met him. He and some Egyptian seminary students were attending church with us.
His brother is also an ordained minister with a ministry supported through Christian Aid Mission in Virginia which thoroughly checks out indigenous ministries before supporting them.
