Computer Crash!

Last night during our prayer meeting someone spilled water over my Apple computer which I bought 3 months ago and it of course crashed ... 2 days before returning to SA!  My previous computer crashed in December and it took me ages to get the new computer updated with everything!

Please pray for me because the cost of a new mother board is just about the same as the computer and they will not repair it under the guarantee.  My travel insurance company is also uncertain whether they will carry the costs. 

God has called me to the media with the assignment that the 'Voice of the Bride needs to be louder than the voice of the world'.  Of course the enemy doesn't like this and launches his attack at critical times trying to break the momentum of God that we have been gaining here in Russia.

Please pray... I need encouragement...

The Wedding was Great!

The bride, Nastya, and bridegroom, Sasha, were beautiful and sooooo in love! They were very tired because they only went to bed after 05h00 in the morning after decorating the church.  But they never lost their joy and peace.  It is so great to see two people in love, starting a new life together, knowing that both of them love the Lord deeply.

Hugo married them and prayed for them together with their parents as they stood in a close circle. As Sasha blessed Nastya and she  blessed him, so sincerely from her heart, many eyes were filled with tears as the presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong.

Weddings are always a great opportunity to fellowship with mutual friends whom you haven't seen for ages.  I loved seeing Pasha again - the pastor of the first church we established in Moscow.  I haven't seen him for 5 years, but it was as if it was yesterday!  He is so full of fun and he engaged everyone in it.

On the photo to the right I am standing next to Pasha with Hugo standing next to him.

Vitali(photo left), the drummer of the worship team was there with his beautiful wife Lena and their 3 children.  The oldest son is 9 and their daughter is 7 and both of them already gave their hearts to the Lord and already speak in tongues since then - 2 years ago!  What a blessed new generation rising up in Russia!

I went to the wedding with my two precious friends who are moving to Scotland in July.  It is hard to think that they will not be around when I return to Russia, although I know that it is from the Lord that they move to Scotland.  We know that they will continue to minister in Russia as the Lord leads them, as it is only 3 hours flight from Scotland to Russia.

They are so precious to me and a great example of a GODLY marriage!  They loved me and cared for me in so many ways and we had so much fun together!  I love them so much!  Here is a photograph of Ala and Jonee:

In the duration of one week my feet will be in gateway cities of five different nations:

Russia, Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, South Africa, Jerusalem!

'Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord!

Psalm 33:12

'After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb'

Rev 7:9

Wedding

Today I am going to Nastya and Sasha's wedding! I love weddings because every wedding points prophetically to Jesus our Bridegroom God Who will come to fetch His Bride, the church. Marriage is a Godly institution and not a worldly institution and therefor it is prophetic in nature.

Only in love you will know the truth, because God is Love and He is Truth. The beauty of every wedding is that man and woman look at each other through love, therefor through God's eyes and they see the beauty and potential of God in each other. The challenge however, is to preserve that truth in your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to expand on it rather than break it down and replace it with lies.

I challenge you today to ask the Lord to restore His truth in your heart about your beloved one and I challenge you even further to respond to that truth. 'The truth sets you free' and will it will bring a new freedom in your relationship again.
