SUCH TIMES

Steve Penny Prophecy for Fiji! PROPHECY BY STEVE PENNY AT CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE, Nausori, Fiji - Monday,3 November,1997 "This nation shall experience a cloud of the glory of God, the anointing coming down upon this nation like a thick cloud filled with rain , filled with great potential and it will come down and it will blanket all of the islands like a cloud and it won't come and just wash across and go, but it will settle and it will continue to fall ...the rain of God's presence will fall on this nation in a powerful way. And the reviving of the Spirit…literally within five years, this nation will be awash with a great Revival. One side to another, this nation will literally be under the blanket of a move of the Spirit of God like you've never seen before. Just about every denomination will be touched...only those that are very, very resistant will hold out against it, but whole denominations will be swept into this move of the Spirit. There'll be un...

Bless the Lord , O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Psalms 103:2 NKJV http://bible.com/114/psa.103.2.NKJV I recently learnt that worship includes remembering all of Gods goodness in my life. (Best advice EVER!) I like remembering/ recalling God moments in ! my life where Divine intervention was the only way I got through situations. I actually have a habit of running to old journals when I'm block headed sometimes and just feeling down. So I was pretty stoked to learn in a teaching that remembering His benefits shifts mindsets and aligns us right back to God! It's true! Remembering where or when He met you, takes you right back to meeting Him. Again! The well renowned psalmist of all time, King David, in his Psalms did this all the time! He constantly put it out there that His God did this and that and sort of indirectly declaring that His God CAN do it all over again!!! Sigh. And so for me, if I ever forget anything in this world, may I NEVER  ever forget His...

Debbie girl turns a year  older this week! Oh my heart! These little ones are growing up soooo fast! I feel like Debbie girl is the epitome of the women that were/are a part of McFarlane family. Her coming into existence forced each of us to decide whom to rely on - God or man.After much search for answers through the hurt and shock,and judgement and opinions, we all individually came through choosing God and community (in summary)  Crazy good season.. #FunGod Her being named Deborah is prophetic to me for each for us in the different fields Gods put us in. Calling us out to be mothers, to be intercessors, to bring about comfort and healing, to love and encourage and be a voice of God/ represent Him (in pageants😉) in the way we carry ourselves, in our speecch, in our friendship with God and each other. 😳 wow Love you so much Debbie girl. Trying not to shed a tear. Gots you in a special place in my heart! always... Yacas.

Pictured: Navolau village, Ra. Photo Credit: UNICEF  there are no words enough to fully describe the heart ache amongst Fijians today. recollecting and rebuilding since Cyclone Winston hit us a week ago has been nothing less than painful.   thousands left homeless and 42 lives lost right now and many more injured as a result of this devastating disaster.  its so easy to point fingers and say "i told you so" or "if onlys" but at the end of the day the devastation brought by the recent storm can only and should only be reciprocated with love.   there sure has been alot of ignorance and disobedience on the part of those who are aware of the God who lives but He does say that He never permits a disaster willingly. at the same time it may also be hard to trust His love in the midst of suffering but good always directly follow a fall.  in thinking about those deeply affected by Winston I was reminded that I serve and know one who is the light. and the l...

So I realize that my previous posts were ALOT about God loving us EXTRAVAGANTLY and sweetly He reminds of a truth that goes appropriately alongside this is that His love can never contradict His righteousness! Never. This means that yes if we fall, Grace would catch us BUT it doesn't change the fact that sin has consequences... not because He doesn't forgive us enough but because while He is love, He is also just and fair.  (Kinda like my parents. Ha) It's funny to me how I posted like 3-4 entries on Grace and goodness when the 2nd half of this whole year for me has been ALL ABOUT His righteousness/ Holiness. Grace is sweet and beautiful, yes. and so is Holiness. Because He is HOLY He cant let us stumble into falling over and over again although He will love us over and over again, but that doesn't mean He condones sin. He hates sin. with a passion. But loves the sinner with compassion.  Let's not get it wrong. GOD IS GRACIOUS B...
