the depth within a soul

The God hears the cry upon the needy
ps 72:12, "For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help."

So havn't bloged for a bit:) but this Saterday was global missions day.At the prayer house there were alot of awesome speakers an times of worship, including the girl i was watching bringing her lil battery opporated walking dog on stage..lol it was terribly funny! I was playing congo's an well she was worshiping an dancing in the front, then took her dog an walked it on the front of the stage...... gosh if there was ever a cuter moment then that, don't know, all the people there were, so loving though. and just continued into worship. After a few minutes of getin my kick of it, came of stge an took her remote controled dog away, an told her she'll have it later. It was interesting though to see her do that, all day i alowed her to have it an she didn't press the bark or the walk button. Bc i told her it would b gone. I knew i had to allow her to show me she was able to b responsible for self control. But right wehn i left her an played congo's, she acted up!

That night when i had time to breathe an look back on the day, i asked her why she did that. i was expeted her usually silly answers, like the dog wanted ot walk or, i was bored, or i don't know.. Yet she said, 'i wanted to make u laugh.' In other words i need your attention. She sure did make me laugh! I love this girl so much, an if it were possible would adopt her in a heart beat. But for now God has just showned me the love he has for her, an also my self in this situation.
During this particular set of worship it was very much alive an fun an just loving on Daddy. It was all bout GOds great love an exceptance! How we can be free in Him, an be free in worship! When she went up an did that; everyine excepted her, except maybe one of the worship leaders::) lol but she's ove rit now.. (she likes things to go as planed) But, wow how much God loves an has compassion on us! Even while we were sinners it say(bible )in Roman 5, how he died for us! this is so remarkable:) Even though we may not be fully mature an doing things, as 'right' he still loves an excepts us.

Another aha moments of the day- There was a lady from BRazil who was so beautiful! She shared on her part in missions, an particulary felt led to share her testimony~Man knock me off my seat! I've heard met an worked umong a few prostitutes before, alot of times it was at the end of they still were or just geting out, but not a lady/ man who've stop for mnay years an now serving the Lord. this was her story, Eva, was born from a poor family and very disfunctual,she eventually moved with a another lady bc she was able to take care of her~ This lady made her do many chores epsecialy cleaning , during her stay their the lady taugh the girl to read. Mainly to understand the bible! eva hated bing forced to read it when she was young~
As she got a little bit older an out of school, she needed money for lving on her own. Still she was poor, and wasn't able to get anywhere. Her family have now moved an she pretty much was alone in a city.
She tried to find job, but not luck. She had heard of a the ladies of the streets, an chose that path as a way!!!!!!`

btw. this breaks my heart~ to hear some one have to make such at terrible decision like that. People look down an frown upon these women, an men, while those who do, perhaps ahve never been in this situation~
Eva said everynight she would feel horrible for all that she had done, an dirty, But prayed everynight to God.

She earned lots of money this way, an eventually found a place to live an invited her family to live with her, as they had pret much nothing too. Eva was what everyone thought to b a normal girl during the day, but night her secret haunted her!
She would go to church, an ask for forgiveness, an felt so ashamed, an useless.

eventually she came to apoint of this is enough God, i can't keep living a 2 way walk with u. She needed a way out!
She began to remember how she was a amazing cleaning lady, SO decided to open a business of cleaning an stop the strrets!
Through this she began to expand her walk through Christ an hear about ministries to reaching out to those workin the streets. She felt God call her to go back an minister to those people. Within many years, They ebagn to open a shelter for these ladiess, an share the love an hope in chrst! Eva then somehow met, (one of the other speakers we had Julie form mozambique)
She heard bout julies ministry to also the needy, an became a translator for her! Through this an ever since they have been doing al sorts of ministry, not together always but serving the Lord. Eva married a british man the Lord brought before her in Portugul an have been married ithink what 15-20 yrs now. She has a heart an a calling to go back to Brazil an open another ywam base there, reaching out to the poor an needy there!

How cool to see How God an his love an forgiveness transformed a lady's life!

I pray GOd would release a spirit of compassion upon the body of Christ to look at the needy an hurting and respond with love~
I hear so much about young an older women, in prositution~ Or maybe not labled that, but struggling in this area of sex for money or sex for an love an exceptance~ I can't stand when people lookdown upon them, infact i have some as friends~
They r beautiful, but even to bring it home brighter, beautifully broken:(
Ask one; an you'll surely find abbuse, neglect, and all sorts of hardships that have led them this way. I know Jesus has compassion upon them, and am sick of people judging them!
(john ch4) There was a certain women at the well whom Jesus met there in the middle of the day, a time back then pehaps when people didn't fetch water bc of the heat, but some reason this lady was there at that time..
Story goes as Jesus begin to share to this lady that this water can't not satify her, an that the water Jesus can give her can give eternal life, that she'l never be thirsty again!
This lady jumps on the offer, while then Jesus confronts her with sin! She has many men in her life( perhaps a type of prostitute back then an would answer a ? why she would be at the well when no one else was there, as she would b looked down upon)
Any hows; The story ends by this lady being a evangalist for Jesus, proclaiming to other sameriatans what Jesus had said. And many believed an became Christ followers.

But the fact of the matter as u read this story, God offered her living water? an the lady chose it!
When she left the well she also left her water jar scriptures say. It deosnt' mention too much on everything she had done, or even changed. But Because jesus talked to a lady that everyone looked down upon- A great heart was retored an given hope!Of a GOd who knew her an cared for her:)
I think this is a cry in every generation. Does anyone care, can anyone help..? Is there hope?

For this lady; i believe she understood more of Jesus's love, an i believe she became a friend of his:)
THe scriptures state that after the lady went back an shared the people wanted Jesus to stay. He stay 2 days sharing with them, an many believe in Him! in other words many were saved, many eyes were open to truth!!!
Truth of a prostitute being just as important as a rich man~
The Truth that many need to hear the good news of Jesus-

Lastly; one of the moments i find most profound in this passage is God testify's who He was to the lady at the well.
Many times h dind't right away say who he was, and told people not to share. While he personally testifies i who speak to you, am he, (the messiah!) He knew she needed a savior.....and was at a place of excepting him not just for show or condemnation but in a revelation that her life she was living was going no where but down!

I believe also God's heart beats for ladies out there r in need of a savior, an condemning an making rude comments bout them won't do it. Don't tell a lady to stop wearing a short skirt an a bare to nothing top, before u except her as a human being, possibly crying for something. anything~ I praise GOd i'v never been down this road but am willing to lay down my life to stand for ladies who have never heard of the love of Christ! even if it means hanging out with those society shrudders bout...Because my Daddy led Jesus to do it, because he loved them~

I don't know why i'm sharing this much, but i feel there is a lost generation of Christs followers bc we judge them instead of show them compassion. Lord teach us compassion~

glad this wk end went good, i wasn't how sure it would end, whether the lady i rent for would b right, an the girl i had over would burn the house down, But went extremely good while stretching. I also am astonished how much this little girl taught me! She had some amazing revelations from GOd, that were so simple yet profound! 8yrs old i'm talking bout.
my favorite one, The devil can't listen to worhsip music:)...:)
