I am going through this thing in my life. For all my life I have believed
and stood fast in what I believe. Still I do and I am in this time in NEED
of God to show me the fruits of my faith. I need to not be like Abraham to
be for the times to come only. I need God to show me that the promises He
made me was not only for the "body", but for "me" as well. I need God to
show me and allow me to enjoy with Him and with the entire body His healing
and deliverance and wonderous works. I need to see His ways and His works
and His love and life and His sweetness I want to taste. I am in like
desperate NEED to start seeing the fruits of my faith and to enjoy in the
good He has set out for us. I know I cannot demand or expect in that
manner, but I am in such need.. like in that of a man dying.. crying out..
"Lord.. come forth and provide.. give.. heal.. sanctify.. glorify and enjoy
us." I am in desperate need to not only anymore walk in faith (I know it is
good to walk in faith), but to see the fruits of my faith.. to see the
realisation of God answering my prayers.. not only in faith, but in the
natural I am in need of starting to see things happen. It is like I am
earnest coming before God...
"Lord.. I want to see You. I want to see Your works upon earth and I want
to see the fullness of Your love and I want to feel it and not only anymore
believe in Your healing and love.. I want to feel and experience it and I
want to see You do things around here. I want to not only have this "faith"
You have given me.. I want to see it in action.. not because of
manipulation, but because I know You also desire to be.. to do.. and to
give. Yes.. to enjoy with us all the good You have put out for us. Please
do not let me wait longer.. I have waited all my life and I know that
Abraham waited his entire life and saw in his walk upon earth not all the
multitudes You have promised him.. but in faith he could stand. Lord.. in
my faith.. I ask You do not let me walk without seeing and enjoying the
fruits thereof. I ask Mercy.. but not for mercy's sake Lord.. for the sake
that I cannot stand feeling far away from You... cannot stand to look at
this broken earth and cannot stand to see all the hurt. I know You have
given me much faith and much visions and I know You do a great lot through
me.. but I ask You Lord.. I want to start seeing YOU manifest upon this
earth and I want to feel You and see You and touch You for I love You and I
cannot stand anymore feeling far off. I know You are in my heart and I feel
Your touches.. Lord.. I want more. I want and I ask You satisfy my need I
have in You. In You Lord... in You be all my desires. I desire You so
much. Please provide and open and give and shower Your Mercies in ways we
do not know.. in ways we have never seen.. in ways earth would rejoice in.
Jesus DIED Father.. and Jesus is alive. All is done. I ask You answer the
love You have placed inside my heart.. answer Your own love Father. I ask
in Jesus Name.amen,.

So good to see you post again lilli. Your great faith in the Lord is so
apparent and always shines through your words and uplifts me. I was just
reading over one of your mails to me and then I saw your post here on the
newsgroup. Yes the Lord works through you lilli, indeed he does. My prayers
will be with you for The Lord to grant you these requests. I am certain the
Lord has much work for you to do. God bless you greatly. I will remember you
in my prayers always.

In the Lord

Father, as You hear the desire of Lilli, You are already in the process of
answering her prayer. Father, grant us more faith and help us to walk in
obedience and Your abundance. Father, help us to remember that it is Your
life that is lived in us when You give us our new lives through Christ
Jesus. Thank You Father, for we ask it in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I love this prayer, Lilli! Your heart is pure, since you want to see God
manifest
on this Earth. That is very, very rare, and is indeed a sign of the soon
coming
of the Lord, since someone actually wants this. Jesus said that if anyone
loves him, he and the father will come unto that person and manifest to that
person,
meaning make himself real unto them.

John 14: 21. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that
loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will
love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our
abode with him.

Just be pure of heart, Lille, as I can see that you already are. Keep
meeting
new and Godly people, and you will find your God amoung them. Test the
spirits, and you will always be safe.

My prayers are with you, Lille. Thank God he is opening the door for you.

Peace in Christ, Mark

Matt. 5: 8. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Hi... thanks Michael. Thanks. I will stand firm.. there is no other option
for me. God gives me mercy when it is greatly needed... this I have
experienced.

I experience my faith as being given by God... like a "gift". I have it and
I also experience that nothing can touch it at all... not even come near it.
Then I experience that my faith has been through trial and stood through as
well, but the "end" of my faith I have not seen/experienced yet. Oh.. I
have seen and I have experienced it, but not to the extend that I know it
will be and it is like I get only small little tastes to keep me going.. to
strengthen me by and to keep me focused... though it is not easy to me at
all.. but I am fine.

I understand what you mean by "come close to the border"... I feel
sometimes that "NOW".. and then I see the end.. but still I realise and have
seen that it is still a far way to the end.. the road still has to be
walked. Oh.. if I can start running...!!!

It is interesting that in my fleshly life.. I have NO FAITH at all.. but in
my spirit.. all is set and fastened and sometimes I realise that maybe this
is the story about the one seed of mustard... only a small little bit of
faith is needed and that small little bit was given me.. (by Mercy) to only
believe in Jesus Christ. That is all I believe.. and all faith I have in my
natural life... the rest.. is the faith of Jesus.. not my own.. I guess that
is why it is "untouchable" by others that mean harm.

Yes, it is true. God's timing. His perfect time. Much better than ours.
I realise now also anew that faith is about not having any proof.. that is
why it is called faith. It no longer is faith when the proof is given...
then it is maybe just only the "feast" in the fruits of the faith. I do not
know.. I think I will pray for courage and peace and to endure till God's
perfect timing. No like green grapes or green apricots. Better wait the
full time. A day or two.. a week or even a month. A year.. or a lifetime.
It will be good. If our fruit can be ripened by the sun and be sweet and
wholesome. How much more the Fruit ripened by the Son of God.

"Oh Son of God.. shine on me... shine on me and ripen Your Fruits.. Your
planting and Your glory. Bring me ready unto the Father for I am anxious
and eager. Hold me back till the perfect time. Open my leaves so that I
can absorb all of Your light.. blow softly through me so I can stay
refreshed and pour over me the sweetest dew and strengthen me. Beautify me
unto the glory of our Father for Him I love above all. Unto Him my all and
everything for now and into all eternity. Let me be consecrated for ever
unto Him for in such is my desire. Let it be. In Your Mercy, in Your Name
and in You Lord Jesus.. I ask.amen"

Lilli,
One of the harder times you will experience is when you come close to the
border of where you believe your faith has an end. This situation often
presents itself with the thought, "What good is having this faith doing me?"
When God deals with us in developing and nurturing our faith to even greater
levels, it has been my experience that a storm of great magnitude rolls into
my life. Why is this? Because faith is not developed and set in concrete
when the sun is shining and there are no problems; it grows best when it is
the only option we decide we will use. There are usually two directions you
can go at this time - stand firm, or chuck it all. Which path do you want to
go upon in your heart of hearts?
It is my personal feeling that whatever purpose God has for you in
exercising the faith you have and speak of is not that far off. I think of
Joseph in the prison, telling the wine steward to put in a good word for
him, because he isn´t guilty. But it was another 2 years before his meeting
and knowing that person would do him any good. But God had arranged the
whole situation, and it came to pass in the time he had chosen, not when
Joseph asked the man to do him a favor.
Continue to stand firm, stay relatively calm, and wait. Adapt what Paul says
about knowing what it is like to have and to have not, and make it apply to
your spiritual circumstance if you can.
Is your faith the result of experience under trial, or is it a supernatural
faith, given to you by God? If it is the latter, then God has a purpose in
having given it to you, but only on his time schedule and in the way he
would have you apply it. If it is the former, then it has already served not
only you, but those around you who have seen you stand as a result of it.
Many times God uses us, and we aren´t even aware of it, because we are
expecting something else.
God is in control, and he knows exactly how you feel and why. But when he
does lead you to an understanding of why things are the way they are, you
will break right thru the wall you seem to have hit at this time, and drawn
even closer to him than you now are.
In Christ
Mike

How wonderful is God. How great. I have just now read your words.. but
yesterday.. I experienced them. I will experience them even yet again.. and
again and again as such is my desire. As God's love is never-ending.. so is
my love unto Him.. and my desire. Never-ending.. my Lord.. You will open me
and fill me and saturate me over and yet over again. Always.

I did not realise it so clearly.. but now.. the picture forms. I believe I
received yesterday a gift unto my own preparation. I could not discern it
fully yesterday, but now.. with these words.. I understand it. It is
awesome. God is good. This makes me realise even yet again.. we can think
and truly..we can THINK we are ready.. but only God knows.. for what we
might think we are ready for.. He has surpassed by far and still yet there
is much need of preparation. Sometimes I think God did plan this or that..
and sometimes I think we have even got to that point.. but God has added
upon us and because of His love.. He did.. so.. He is not to give us NOW
that what could have been already.. He is going to give us far greater.. far
greater things. Oh.. can a mind think. Can a body hope. Can we ever
dream. No... we can not. But.. We will see.
yes. we will see.

I feel like a little girl now.. with small little blue and smaller white
flowers in her hair. Just a little bit of white.. I feel my mom be
preparing me and my dad has gone to town to buy me a present. My hair are
long and curly.. shining even indoors.. I am getting ready for the
"party" of my life. Like a birthday party.. but different.. it is a party
just because my parents love me. Just because they wanted to "spoil" me.
Who is invited... and who will share...?
Oh... all those that love. Each one of them.

"My Lord.. here I am. You have given me a gift unto preparation. Teach me.
Lead me. Show me. Prepare me. Love me freely for I am Yours.amen"

Hi Eileen.. Good to see you too. I thought I lost my pc, but they gave me a
new hard drive. I had a 6gig, and they put in a 20gig for free. God is
good... so.. I am back.
Thanks for your uplifting and encouragement. I do feel your prayers.
Thanks.

I want to tell you more.. my spirit is filled.. but it does not form in
words. I guess the Lord will bestow upon you in His way and in His time and
in His sweetness.
Still even still.. I WANT to tell you what is in my heart and spirit.. for
it is so good... but no words form.. so I will say...

love
lilli

Our Father, God: We all do need an answer to this prayer. But! I do
believe, I need to learn to accept the blessing I do receive all the
time, as proof positive of Your love, Your mercies, Your promises that
do fill my life. Amen.

Hi Eileen.. glad to see you too. I got my pc back yesterday, but used
someone else's once or twice.. My own are not set-up yet again and I thought
I would loose it altogether, but they replaced my hard drive for free.
Where I had a 8gig, they gave me a 20gig, so I think I must be here.. ;-) I
am glad and grateful unto the Lord.
I can feel your prayers and also your encouragement. Thanks.. even when I
do not read your words.. from time to time.. I feel strengthened by your
prayers. God is so good... so very good. Such wonderful Ways He uses us in
and unites us in His Spirit in ways beyond understanding.

Yes Hi lilli, I wonder if this message was meant for me? However, I am glad
to see you post as always. Yes we have much to be grateful for in the Lord
he is such a good Father to us and I am so happy to be his servant. I have
seen one of the most incredible miracles this past week concerning one of
our brother's here on this prayer group. It is absolutely amazing and I
thank the Lord for him. I am certain he will give his testimony for us all
to read and will leave it up to him to tell people this wonderful news.
My prayers are with you lilli.

In the Lord

It's OK, Eileen:-)

Thanks for prayer:-)
