Good evening sister saints!!!
(A sister saint is blessed to see many rainbows lately, thank you for sharing :-)
The other day I did a post called 'sisters sharing' and I've been told it was greatly edifying to others so I'll be adding those posts in here but will call them 'saints sharing' as I may share some comments from brothers also. In the body of Christ there is always much edification and encouragement going on and I know there are some of you who may not be able to reach out for daily fellowship, or because of technology (or the lack of), not everyone is connected with each other, so I want to offer it up here as encouragement for you as we want none of those in the body of Christ to feel left out. Please test yourself to the biblical GOSPEL and examine yourself to see if you truly are born again and a child of God.
Tonight I'll share some pieces of conversations that will edify you.
We sisters often share things from nature that our Father created (no there is no 'mother earth') and we can learn concepts from.
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
Job 12:7-10
A sister just shared this good example:
********
"And below that we have many squashes growing in a small place so my husband added 3 ft. stakes and we put deer netting over that and extended the garden. Now the squashes have more room to sprawl. Just like those squashes we sisters are also growing in Christ every day as we read his word and obey it in our lives. The squashes tendrils hang on to fencing for support as it travels, not knowing where it will be next. It is just like us saints we trust God to lead us in the path He has set before us. When we lay our heads to rest at night we don't know what the next day will bring as our days and time belong to the Lord. He is our keeper not the clock on the wall that seems to move so swiftly for a world that is always begging for 1 more minute to fulfil selfish lusts. Instead we sisters are at rest just like my squashes, trusting and faithful in the Lord to grow and do His will. As I look out the window I see the plants vining and going in all different directions producing flowers and fruit reaching for the sun in obedience to our creator. And it reminds me of us sisters as we are all scattered across the earth as we too are reaching for the Son producing flowers of a joyful countenance and fruit from works of holiness and obedience for our Father. One vine spreading the gospel by van, another two vines by the internet, and one vine by post all in unity of doctrine. Yes sisters, nature certainly does teach us.
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Luke 11:28
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean unto thine own understanding. (6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Go to now, ye that say, To day or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: (14) Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your Life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. (15) For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
James 4:13-15
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. (5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
John 15:4-5"
************
Amen, there are many ways to learn from nature and to share what we see with others brings glory to the Father.
Amen, some sisters have been talking about how we've been set free from the snares of Satan, freedom in Christ! Glory to God!
Often there are Titus 2 discussions and thought sharing go on...
Some sisters were messaging about how age is not something that categorizes us sisters, as we see one another as simply sisters and God is no respecter of persons for those who are following after Christ....
We press one another through all the trials we have to endure in this world.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently
1 Peter 1:22
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord : but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Love to you sister saints both near and far, those we know and those who we don't.
May the Lord bless my striving sister soldier saints.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
