DIT is die ware wonderwerk.....


My sus het tot geroep en wou weet wanneer
gaan Hy ingryp en my volkome genees, want
ek vertrou al soveel jare vir 'n wonderwerk.

God se Gees het duidelik met haar gepraat en 
sy het vir my die volgende boodskap gestuur:

God sÊ vir jare roep sy na my, maar vir jare
is EK by haar, IS sy in 'n wonderwerk.
EK is met haar, EK het haar vir geen oomblik
gelos nie.  Kyk hoe dra EK haar deur.
Te midde van hierdie siekte is EK met haar.
EK dra haar deur en
 DIT IS DIE WARE WONDERWERK

As ek terugkyk op my lewenspad dan weet
ek verseker dit is alleenlik HY wat my gedra het,
en nog steeds dra elke dag.  Sonder HOM is my
lewe niks en is ek niks.  

Ek kyk soms na my simptome en wil moedeloos 
raak, maar daars 'n lied wat Ray Boltz
 sing, wat sÊ "i dare to believe that miracles still 
happen, for the God that we serve is much
more than able".  En dis daai geloof in die
Lewende God waarin ek sal vasstaan totdat 
Hy kom.  

Vader
Ek is dankbaar dat U my deurdra elke dag
Dankie dat U met my is en my versterk.
Dankie dat u my herinner dat elke asemteug
wat ek gee, 'n wonderwerk is. 
Ek wil my oe gevestig hou op Jesus Christus,
die begin en die voleinding van my geloof.
Ek het u lief Here
Amen

THESE BONES WILL SING
HOW
GREAT
IS OUR
GOD

'n Mislukking - NEVER AS TE NOOIT



Woensdagoggend omstreeks 3h43 het my man my met 'n 
whatsappboodskap wakker gemaak en gevra of ek ook wakker lê?

So twee weke gelede het 'n baie bekende sakeman my man
genader en vir hom gesê hy het vir hom 'n "business
opportunity".  Nadat my man werk vir die persoon gedoen het
het hulle vriende geword en in een van hulle geselsies het
hy sy jarelange droom met hom gedeel. Hyt op 'n plaas
groot geword en hy was 'n boerseun in sy hart, en wou
nog altyd sy eie plaas besit.  Die natuur en die grond
was nog altyd vir hom belangrik want dis waar Hy God se
Almag aanskou.  Toe hy klein was het hy altyd donkies 
grootgemaak, want "dit was die dier waarop Liewe Jesus gery het".

Die afgelope paar weke was 'n mallemeule van opgewondenheid,  plaas soek,  drome
droom,  familie kontak met die goeie nuus,  die kinders se blydskap,  onsekerheid.
weer hoop, baie vrae vra vir God ens ens.  Die droom was egter van korte duur, 
 toe die voorwaardes van die transaksie bespreek word.   Dit blyk toe dat die
 wonderlike vooruitsig van'n eie plaas besit, net gebou was op mense se 
eie selfsugtige begeertes.  Die voorwaardes bepaal onder andere dat ons kinders
 glad nie op die plaas mag kom nie, en indien familie kom kuier moet ons
 hulle buite die plaas ontvang.  Daar mag geen honde wees ,  en ons mag glad
 nie in die hoofhuis woon nie.  Ek was so opgewonde oor die huis 
want dit het die stoep gehad waaroor ek nog altyd gedroom het.

BARRY WAS NOU IN DIE POSISIE WAAR 'N PLAAS Lê WAT KONTANT 
BETAAL IS, EN HY MOET KIES TUSSEN SY JARELANGE DROOM
EN SY VROU EN KINDERS WAT VIR HOM SO KOSBAAR IS.

Sonder om een maal daaroor te dink het hy reguit vir die sogenaamde vriend 
gesê wat hy met sy aanbod kan doen, en dat sy vrou en kinders vir hom die
wêreld beteken.  Daar sou geen manier wees waarop hy sy kinders sal prysgee
nie.  

En dis hoekom hy my in die week wakker gemaak het want hy kon nie slaap
omdat die vader van alle leuens vir hom probeer vertel het hy is nikswerd.

Ons gesprek het daardie oggend gegaan oor sy bekommernis,   die feit dat hy
voel hy sak diep in 'n swart gat in,  hy kom nie aan die gang nie, hy voel hy
bid en kry nie antwoorde nie.
My man was moeg en toe hy vir my sê hy kan nie meer probeer nie, want
hy stel sy kinders teleur, hys 'n  mislukking, het ek die volgende gedoen om aan
hierdie wonderlike man en pa te wys wie en wat hy is.  En dit word nie bepaal
deur sy besittings of sy geld nie, want dit wat hy het kan nie met al die geld
in die wêreld gekoop word nie.  







Ek het vir hom fotos gestuur van sy girls en die liefde wat hy vir 
hulle het en hulle vir hom.  Die liefde is onvoorwaardelik en sal altyd wees.
Ons onthou die vetkoekies op 'n Saterdagoggend, die heerlike ritte
in die natuur,  die stap langs die see,  die dans op die maat van boeremusiek
in die sitkamer,  die mcds roomysie as ek kwansuis sooibrand het.
Jou grappies,  as jy dans met die hond, en die girls se skaterlag.
Daars soveel mooi oomblikke saam met sy gesin en hy was en is altyd 
daar vir ons,  Dit was nog nooit enige inspanning vir hom om ons eerste
te stel nie, en as een van die meisiekinders op sy skoot kom sit en hulle
arms om sy nek sit, gaan sy arms automaties oop.  Hyt altyd 'n menslike serp
om sy nek, in die vorm van 'n girl, hetsy sy vrou of een van sy meisiekinders.
Hy sal veg vir ons,  baklei vir ons en in die 25 jaar wat ons al getroud is,
was my vriendskap vir hom die belangrikste.  So, my liewe man, en die pa
van my kinders.  Jy sal altyd ons mansmens bly, ongeag.   En een ding moet jy
nooit ooit vergeet nie. GOD IS NIE 'N MENS DAT HY SOU LIEG NIE.
SY BELOFTES VIR JOU STAAN VAS.  HY GAAN JOU ROUKLEED
LOS MAAK EN JOU MET VREUGDE OMGORD.

 Ons seen die persoon wat jou seergemaak het en bid dat God met hulle sal wees.

Maar die belangrikste van alles my man

Jy is NIE 'n mislukking nie

NEVER AS TE NOOIT.....

2 Heart attacks and a stroke......and God still has a purpose?


Two heart attacks and a stroke......
And God still has a purpose?
____________

This is the response of a very dear friend after I
told him that God still has a purpose for his life.

God doesn't measure purpose on the amount of money
we earn or the extent of our possesions.

One day as I pulled up at the petrol station, I saw
the lady attendant sitting on a crate in front of the Quick Shop.
She was deep in thought and after a moment she came 
to help me.  I handed her my only R100 (times were tough)
and ask her to throw only R90 in my car.  When she returned
with the change I told her she can keep it.  Tears welled up in her
 eyes  and she told me that as I were pulling up she was  
just wondering what her children would eat that 
night as she has nothing to give them.
  "ma'am"' she said: "this will buy a bread"

I thanked God that I was purposeful in that ladies life that day.

Small things can make a big difference in someone
else 's  life.  Sometimes I buy the girl behind the cash
register a Chocolate and soft drink and encourage her to
keep smiling because it's almost time to go home.

I don't tell you this to boast.  I want to encourage you
to make a difference in someones life even if it is
only a friendly word, a compliment, a thank you for the
one who helped you that day at the supermarket.  

Our purpose is to honour God in everything we do.

I don't always live up to this but the Holy Spirit is there
to convict me of any wrong doing.  One day I was annoyed
with someone at our local supermarket, and I had
to go back and ask for her forgiveness.  She couldn't believe
it when I returned to say sorry.

Your act of kindness can be the difference that person
was longing for.  Maybe the difference between life or death.
The difference between going on or just giving up.  

There was and is still people in my life God used for His
purpose.  To encourage me, to give me hope, to strenghten
my faith in the Almighty God. 

BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
BE PURPOSEFUL IN SOMEONES LIFE.
SHOW THEM THE LOVE GOD HAS FOR THEM
THROUGH YOUR ACTS.

GOD PLEASE HELP ME TO BE PURPOSEFUL
IN SOMEONES LIFE.  I LOVE YOU WITH ALL 
MY HEART, ALL MY STRENGHT AND ALL MY BEING.
AMEN

You are born a WINNER


As I was exercising this morning I suddenly felt tired and
thought to myself  that it was not worth it.
Because my joints hurt when I'm on the floor, I do
some of my exercises on the bed.  
While I was lying there feeling sorry for myself and demotivated
to go on, my eye caught a motivational verse my oldest daugther Lelani
has stuck to my closet. 

IT'S A SLOW PROCESS
DON'T MAKE IT SLOWER
BY QUITTING.
YOU ARE BORN A WINNER

Wow it was just the right message at the right time.

If it wasn't for that motivation I wouldn't have been able to tell
you now that I finished my exercises this morning.

Why?

Because
The Word of God tells me that I can do all things through Christ
and I am more than a conqueror in Jesus Christ.   And that
motivation that was put up with so much love, reminded me of that.

Thank you Father God for my daughter and for Your unfailing love for us

THESE BONES WILL KEEP ON SINGING
HOW GREAT ARE YOU GOD
Amen

Just a touch of Your hand Lord Jesus.......


Two weeks ago my husband was in a serious accident on his
way to work.  It was in the early morning hours and a truck
was standing half in the road with no hazzards, ligths or triangles.
Some of its load was laying on the road and he was blinded
by oncoming traffic.  As he couldn't see the truck or its load, he
airborned over the load and missed the truck and the oncoming two cars
literally by centimetres........

He was so in shock that when he called me he was out of his
bakkie in the bushes about 20km from the accident scene.
Because of the shock he kept on driving until his bakkie 
stopped by itself due to the damage caused by the impact.

He was crying and didn't know where he was or what to do.
I tried to calm him to try and find out where he was as he could be anywhere
between Humansdorp and Stormsrivier.  (he was on his way from PE to George)
He was almost for an hour and a half on his own before the Police
could find him. 

While i was waiting for my daughter's boyfriend to come and
pick me up to go to the accident scene,  we started praying for
my husband.  Lelani, my oldest daughter was praying, and she
asked God to protect her daddy and THAT HE COULD
EXPERIENCE THE PRESENCE OF JESUS
 there where he is on his own,  in shock, not
knowing what to do and where he is.

The devil was trying to take his life but God decided it was
not death's time.  His hand was on Barry that day and we're
so thankful for the blood of Jesus and the protection
there is in His Mighty Name.  It was only by the grace of
God that his bakkie didn't roll or that he got any serious injuries.

Later that day i took him to George with the car and as
we past the accident scene and we saw the skid marks in daylight 
I was in awe for what God did for us that day.

We talked about the accident and my husband told me
while he was in the bushes crying and he didn't know what to 
do and he felt so fearful and alone,  HE SUDDENLY FELT
SOMEONE PUT HIS HAND ON HIS RIGHT SHOULDER.

I believe that it was the exact moment my daughter was praying
that her dad should experience the presence of Jesus Christ.

Thank you God that Your Grace is sufficient for us.

JUST THE TOUCH OF YOUR MIGHTY HAND LORD JESUS,
AND OUR LIVES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME....

Why complain if God wants to bless you.?......


A few months ago someone phoned me and wants
to bless our family with something inspired
by the Holy Spirit.
I was proud and did not know what to do
to prevent this from happening, because
i'd rather be the giver than the receiver.

I sent my sister a message and told her about it.
As it was my sister, I was hoping for 
support and for her to feel sorry for me.
But her response took me by surprise as she
asked me "WHY DO YOU COMPLAIN IF GOD
WANTS TO BLESS YOU?. SAY SORRY AND
SLEEP TIGHT SISTER"

It took some time for me to lay down my 
foolish pride and with shame and embarrassment I
thanked God for His goodness and love.

Must confess the next morning wasn't easy for
me but with God everything's possible.

So next time God wants to favor
you,  say THANK YOU and accept what God 
is giving you.

THANK YOU LORD FOR EVERYTHING
BLESS US TO BE A BLESSING FOR OTHERS.
AMEN
