 Ma sain lõpuks valmis ühe väikse projektiga, mida olen ammu tahtnud teha ja millega ma algust tegin mõned kuud tagasi. Nimelt lindistasin ma eesti keeles tervenemise kirjakohad. Siin ei ole muidugi KÕIK kirjakohad Piiblist, mis tervenemisest räägivad, kuid paljud neist.
Usk tuleb Jumala Sõna kuulmisest ja kuulmisest ja kuulmisest...! Seega, on hea kuulata kirjakohti tervenemise kohta ja oma usku sellel alal üles ehitada.
Vahest tuleb meile mõni rünnak, haigushoog või tõbi kallale. Siis on hea tervemise kirjakohti kuulata ja nendel mediteerida.
Loodan, et siit saab keegi abi !
Jumala õnnistusi ja tervist soovides,
Raili

Fear Not

In the book of Hebrews it declares that Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. One of the greatest challenges we have in life is to stay in faith and keep fear from strangling and paralyzing us.

As we receive the Word Of God into our heart faith comes and fear is dispelled. There are over 365 scriptures that encourage and command us to Fear Not. If we continue to feed our faith on the Word our heart will be established in the reality of God being greater than our problems and well able to always cause us to triumph.

In order for God's word to be fruitful in our life's in needs to be in our heart and coming out of our mouth. Believe His word speak it and fear will leave and faith will be activated in your life.

It all starts with knowing the Word for yourself. It must be the number one priority for it to be affective.  Jesus said in the world we would have tribulation but He also gives us the great encouragement to be of good cheer because He has over come the world. 1John 5:4 declares

                This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

Listed below are some classic Fear Not scriptures I pray they will be an encouragement to your faith.

Isaiah 41:10 'Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Johua 1:9  Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go

Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalm 27:1  The LORD is my light and my salvation--whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 46:2  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

Yesterday I was in the Deals store and there was a pack of raisins right up front, where the gum is. I guess someone had not wanted it and left it there. But...I just needed a pack of them, because I was planning making bread pudding...And I forgot to buy them, because I was with Ryan who is hard to deal with in the store sometimes...But there it was a pack of raisins that I needed...!
 I asked the clerk, who was a tall black guy, Is this a Dollar also? ( most of the things in that store are 1 Dollar) And he told me : If you are good!  And that made me laugh and I gave him the biggest fake smile, showing that I am good... But that kinda made my day, because I had been way too serious and not smiling at all that day. It takes a clerk in the store to lighten me up a little bit...
 The contrast here is, that usually the store clerks in Estonia can be really rude or not very pleasant at all. You are glad if you go to the store and will not be upset by something there. Like one time I dropped a jar of soup, while putting it on the counter. Then the clerk said, you need to pay for it ! And there have been other things like that. Maybe some other time I can share more of my experiences there...
 But it is good to live in a free country, where people are free, smiling, making jokes and are happy.
Not everyone of course, but at least good persentage of them!
 Blessings!

The Message Of The Cross


The cross is a symbol that is seen by many every day in churches, cemeteries, artwork, and various other places. Have you ever thought of what the meaning of the cross really is? There is a powerful message in the cross, let's take a look at this wonderful truth.

Most people have heard that Jesus died on the cross. Ancient history reveals this as an established fact. But why did Jesus die on the cross? The Bible tells us that Jesus was falsely accused and delivered to be crucified because the religious leaders of his day were jealous of him. These men did not like the fact that multitudes of people were following Jesus. They felt threatened they would lose their position and influence. Though Jesus was preforming amazing miracles and teaching with great authority, they rejected him. They orchestrated a false trial and used their influence to have him crucified, even though the Roman governor Pilate could find no fault in him.

The Bible tells us that this was all part of God's plan for Jesus to go to the cross. Jesus lived a sinless life and died an agonizing death of crucifixion as an innocent man. As Jesus was dying, he was fulfilling God's plan to be our savior. He was accomplishing something for all people.
      
                                                   Amazing Love seen at the cross

                                   


Through him God was showing us his amazing love by allowing Jesus to be a substitute for us all. Jesus was paying the penalty for all our sins, all the things that make us guilty before God. What Jesus accomplished for us has opened the way for us to be made right with God. The sacrifice of the blood of Jesus has provided access for us to the presence of God.

The cross is a symbol of the love of God. It represents the sacrifice of the Son Of God Jesus Christ for the world. It forever proclaims that though hopeless and insufficient in ourselves God gave us the ultimate gift of Jesus so we could be made right with Him and have eternal life.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

                                              The cross is a message of Peace
We can have peace with God and be in complete harmony with our creator through receiving what Jesus accomplished for us on the cross. What heavenly rest to be at peace with God knowing you are not condemned. Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

                                                       God's Bridge: The Cross
The cross is a bridge of hope that crosses the gulf of sin that separated God from man.
Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose from the grave. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between God and people.

The Bible says...
 
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ." 1 Timothy 2:5
"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." 1 Peter 3:18
There is a bridge that brings us to The Fathers House with all the goodness blessings and glory God wants us share with us forever. Though the bridge must be crossed to arrive at that destination. I pray that your eyes would be open to see the depth of God's love that the cross reveals to us. God gave His best Jesus to suffer and die in our place so we could be part of His family. Jesus willingly offered His life for us all, suffering the penalty of our sin and shame in our place so we could cross the bridge and Know the Father and become a new creation in Christ.
So the next time you see a cross remember you are loved, you can have peace and go across the bridge of hope to the Father's House.

Update From Estonia

                                                    




The ice is melting on Viljandi lake, and temperatures are nearly getting to 50 degrees Fahrenheit on warm days now. We are thankful to have gotten safely through the blizzard on our trip to Tallinn on Easter Sunday. I would say spring really starts in May here and that probably was the last significant snow (thank God). It has been a very long, cold, and snowy winter. The days here have already started getting longer, with the sun setting after 9 pm. It is the season to move about Estonia and be active in building the Kingdom Of God.


We have a lot going on now in our work here and are launching out into new areas of ministry.



Our Easter trip to Tallinn was to Grace Chapel, where I have been asked to help as a teaching pastor. The church has a great centrally located meeting facility in the city center. There is a nice faithful core group, and we believe this fellowship has great potential to impact Estonia for Christ. This is a international church and Estonians are attending as well.


Over the last year, new doors of ministry have opened up for us in the capital city of Tallinn. We have been involved in several meeting there with people who are hungry for God. A big part of our vision is to be a part of seeing a fresh move of the Spirit to change this nation. It is important to fan these flames of revival and continue to have and be a part of more services that facilitate the move of the Spirit. At the same time teaching the Word and laying a solid biblical foundation. Because we need a movement of the Word and Spirit working together to see the glorious things the Father has in store.


In our home town of Viljandi we have been helping a young couple, Veiko and Kirsika, start a new church. Veiko is a great piano player and it has been a real blessing worshiping together at these and other services. Our community has a very small percentage of believers and is need of a real move of God.


We are planning to have our first Spread the Fire Worship Meeting this spring for the Viljandi region of Estonia. It will be held at the new Viljandi Baptist Church building and several churches will be a part of this gathering. Prayer point: that there would be unity and that the spiritual atmosphere would change for the good.

A Great Harvest Field




During the winter Raili and I got caught in a snow storm and needed to spend the night in Tallinn. Our friend Jaana's place was available, but the catch was she lived in Lasnamäe.

I always heard this was a rough place and you better be careful if you find yourself there. Since we almost had a bad car accident that day, I thought it might be worth the risk lodging there for the night.


Jaana had been after us to be a part of the services that she and her husband Ahto had been having in Lasnamäe. Though Ahto had been working in Finland a lot (like many Estonian men do) and was not always there to help. The night we arrived there was a home fellowship so we were able to be a part of that. As we stayed there that night the Lord began to do surgery on my heart about this place. This bedroom community of Tallinn is the most populated community in Estonia. 116 thousand people live there. It is almost entirely the old soviet style apartment houses in close proximity of each other. In talking with Jaana that night we discovered that the small meetings they were having were the only evangelical work they knew of being done in this large community. Since that time I have preached twice at their Sunday meetings and the people were open responding to the gospel . Their ministry also distributes humanitarian aid and recently opened a second hand store that helps keep them visible with the people.


Ministry in Lasnamäe.



The need in this place hit me like a ton of bricks, I began to hear some of the desperate stories and my heart was really broken for these people. I know there are many places in the world like Lasnamäe, where the harvest is great and the workers are few. I sense the Holy Spirit stirring in me about this mission field. We want to do everything possible to help and encourage this couple and do what we can in building the Kingdom of God in Lasnamäe.

Raili and I believe we can be more effective living in the Tallinn area. Our home in Viljandi is 160 kilometers from Tallinn. The cost of living is higher there, though God can make a way. I do believe that this is a new season of growth and change for us as we move forward in building God's Kingdom.



I believe that partnership is God's highest way to spread the gospel. The famous verse in Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
 Was written to the partners of the apostle Paul. If there ever was a season to bring in  the harvest it is the hour in witch we live. Raili and I would like you to consider partnering
with us to accomplish this important gospel work. We also want you to receive the
blessing that comes through partnership. I believe we can have a significant impact in
Lasnama and all the other ministry projects.

VALUE Of A SOUL

What does it matter to the Lord of us all
Creator of heaven and earth
When He looks down at one made in His own image
Greater than the sparrow that falls

He sees the value of a soul beyond the worlds treasures
Measured by the blood Jesus shed
Though it be wrecked and marred
There is healing by His scars
He showed us the value of a soul

If you think your life doesn't mean much any more
Just think what you mean to the Lord
If you were the only one, He would have still died for you
You were worth all that He went through

For you are a pearl of great price
That He sought after and bought with His life
Yes you are precious in His sight
See the love that He has shown to you
