Je te reverrai

Je te reverrai

“Je te reverrai, une lettre à mon bébé”

Révélation 21:4-5un
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; il n'y aura plus de mort, ni chagrin, ni pleurer. Il n'y aura pas de douleur, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold I make all things new.”

John 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

I Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written, “Eye has not seen nor ear heard, nor have entered in the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

My Letter to My Baby

Dear Joseph,

My precious child, I have loved you all of my adult life, and yet, I have never seen your face or held you in my arms. For that, I am very sorry. You were a gift from God, and I threw you away. I am so sorry for ending your life. God showed me what you look like. I saw a young man in his 30s on an airplane, and he had brown curly hair and blue eyes. I felt my spirit quicken. I whispered to the Lord, “Is that what my son looks like?” I felt the confirmation in my spirit.

I named you Joseph because what the enemy meant for evil, God turned around for my good and for His glory. He exchanged my ashes for something beautiful. Joseph, you inspired a ministry called My Ashes to Beauty to help other moms heal from their past abortions.

I know you are in heaven with Jesus—a place where there is no sadness, douleur, or sorrow. I can’t wait for the day that I can see you face to face in heaven where we will be together forever. I have pictured that scene over and over in my mind. I see you greeting me in heaven. I know you and you know me. We hug. With tears of joy streaming down my cheeks, you kiss me and I say, “I have waited for this moment for so long. Now we will never be parted again. I love you, Joseph.” You respond, “I love you, Mom.” Then, I will look to Jesus and thank Him for this precious gift of being reunited with my child in heaven and for the gift of salvation He gave me.

I will see you soon.

Love always,
Mom

As I was praying about the topic for today, this song came on my station, Scars in Heaven, by Casting Crowns. Here are some of the lyrics (to which I made some minor modifications):

Now what I would give for one more day with you Joseph (your child or children’s names).
Cause there’s a wound here in my heart where something’s missing. And they tell me that it’s gonna heal with time. But I know you’re in a better place where you are healed and whole and I will be too.
The only scars in heaven, they won’t belong to me and you.
There’ll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new. And that thought makes me smile now, even as tears fall down. Is that the only scars in heaven are on the hands that hold you now.

Questions to Take to Heart:
What are your thoughts when you think about your baby (or babies)? What would you like to say to your baby (or babies)?

I pray this blesses your heart.

La femme à la perte de sang

La femme à la perte de sang

UNEavortement Rrécupération Wde présage Ssoutien ggroupe (ARWSG)

La femme à la perte de sang

Luc 8:43-48 (NKJV)
maintenant une femme, avoir un flux de sang pendant douze ans, qui avait dépensé tout son gagne-pain en médecins et ne pouvait être guérie par aucun, est venu par derrière et a touché la frontière (la frange) de son vêtement. Et immédiatement son flux sanguin s'est arrêté. Et Jésus a dit, "Qui m'a touché?"Quand tous l'ont nié, Peter et ceux qui étaient avec lui ont dit, "Maître, les multitudes se pressent et te pressent, et tu dis, 'Qui m'a touché?’» Mais Jésus dit, "Quelqu'un m'a touché, car j'ai perçu une puissance sortant de moi. Maintenant, quand la femme vit qu'elle n'était pas cachée, elle est venue tremblante; et tomber devant Lui, elle lui déclara en présence de tout le monde la raison pour laquelle elle l'avait touché et comment elle fut immédiatement guérie.. Et il lui dit, "Fille, être de bonne humeur; ta foi t'a guéri. Vas en paix."

Nous, les femmes après un avortement, pouvons comprendre ce que cette femme a dû endurer pendant tant d'années.. Nous aussi, nous savons ce que c'est que de dépenser toutes sortes d'argent pour des choses qui ne nous ont pas guéris.. Certains d'entre nous ont consommé de la drogue et de l'alcool pour se soigner de la douleur que nous avions endurée pendant si longtemps.. Beaucoup d'entre nous ont consulté des médecins et des thérapeutes pour les aider à guérir les dommages que nos avortements nous ont causés dans de nombreux domaines de notre vie.. Nous savons ce que c'est que de souffrir seul, être isolé des autres, et se sentir désespéré et déprimé. Nous cherchions désespérément un remède mais rien n'a fonctionné, jusqu'à ce que nous en soyons fatigués de simplement exister et que nous voulions la vie abondante que Jésus a promis que nous pourrions avoir. C'est alors que nous avions presque abandonné tout espoir que nous avons rencontré notre Sauveur, Jésus., notre guérisseur. Nous avons tout risqué, juste pour toucher l'ourlet de son vêtement parce que nous savions que si nous le faisions, alors nous serions guéris. Nous avons risqué d'être exposés parce que nous savions que Lui seul pouvait nous guérir.

Il faut de la foi en Dieu et du courage pour sortir et toucher le vêtement de Jésus afin d’être guéri.. Je prie pour que Dieu continue de vous guider dans ce voyage de guérison et que vous deveniez fort dans le Seigneur., afin que nous puissions amener plus de femmes dans ce ministère de guérison. Puissions-nous continuer à être ses mains et ses pieds dans ce monde.

Des questions:

Quelles sont certaines des choses que vous avez essayées dans le passé pour vous aider à faire face à la douleur de votre avortement ??
L'alcool et les drogues m'ont permis d'échapper à ma douleur. J'étais tellement fatigué de porter un masque et de prétendre que ma vie était parfaite. Après un certain temps, Je ne pouvais tout simplement pas bien fonctionner du tout. Ma vie s'effondrait, ma santé était défaillante, et mon mariage était sur le point de divorcer. J'étais dans un profond état de désespoir et de dépression. Je voulais juste arrêter ce tourment d'une vie, mais je ne pouvais pas quitter mon 2 enfants sans maman. Je me sentais désespéré et je voulais mourir jusqu'au jour où j'ai rencontré Jésus. Il était si gentil et aimant avec moi. Quand j'ai entendu l'Évangile pour la première fois à l'intérieur 4 semaines, J'ai couru vers Jésus, j'ai embrassé ses pieds et je l'ai remercié d'avoir soulagé ma douleur et de m'aimer.. Je n'ai jamais connu un amour pareil auparavant.

Quand avez-vous finalement eu le courage de toucher le vêtement de Jésus pour guérir?

Dans 2010, après avoir à nouveau souffert d'une grave dépression, je voulais mourir. Je pleurais sur mon lit et j'ai dit au Seigneur, "Je ne peux plus faire ça; tu ne peux pas juste me ramener à la maison?" J'ai entendu le Saint-Esprit murmurer, "Me fais-tu confiance?" J'ai dit, "Oui Seigneur, Je te fais confiance." "Croyez-vous que je peux changer les choses pour de bon?" J'ai dit, "Oui Seigneur, Je crois que tu peux." Il a dit, "Alors fais-moi confiance." Immédiatement après ça, J'ai le nom d'un ministère, et j'ai commencé mon travail de rétablissement pour les enfants adultes issus de familles émotionnellement déconnectées.. C'était une haute responsabilité, groupe de soutien à la guérison intérieure auquel j'ai participé 5 années, et j'ai assisté à des réunions de récupération hebdomadaires. Cela m'a donné des outils et surtout, Je ne me sentais plus seul. Il y avait d'autres femmes qui ont lutté comme moi. Cela m'a permis de guérir de mon passé et de tous les comportements malsains que je tolérais de la part des autres.. J'ai appris les limites, est devenu fort, j'ai résisté aux intimidateurs pour la première fois de ma vie, et j'ai utilisé ma voix. J'ai appris à me voir comme Dieu me voit et j'ai finalement reçu son amour dans mon cœur.. Je n'ai jamais été le même. Merci, Jésus, pour avoir sauvé mon âme et m'avoir guéri.

Vendredi saint : sa vie pour la nôtre

Vendredi saint : sa vie pour la nôtre

Il n'y a pas d'amour plus grand que celui qu'un homme donne sa vie pour ses amis. John 15:13

Luc 23:44-46 Maintenant c'était la sixième heure (midi) et il y eut des ténèbres sur toute la terre jusqu'à la neuvième heure (3 PM). Puis le soleil s'est assombri, and the veil of the Temple was torn in two. And when Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Having said this, He breathed His last breath.

Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour (3PM) Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Which is being interpreted, My God, Mon Dieu, why hast thou forsaken me?

I want us to reflect on the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross for each one of us. We will never know the immense pain He experienced not only physically but spiritually. On the hours that Jesus hung on the cross from 12 noon to 3 PM the whole earth was darkened, and so was the sun. God had forsaken His only Son when He bore all the sins of the world on His body. Jesus cries out, “My God, Mon Dieu, why hast thou forsaken me?” The word forsake in the Merriam-Webster dictionary means to renounce or turn away from entirely. Holy God darkened the earth for 3 hours because He could not look upon Jesus when He bore our sins upon Himself. The Bible says that Jesus became sin for us, who knew no sin. I read a commentary that said God caused the darkness so humans could not look upon Jesus and see the turmoil and agony that He went through on our behalf. It was a sacred sacrifice that only the Father could see. This was His perfect Lamb of God who was sacrificed for the sins of the whole world.

At the same time the veil in the Temple, between the Holy of Holies, was torn from top to bottom. The very hand of God tore the veil, giving us access to God through Jesus His Son. Jesus was the new and living way for us to go to God, we no longer had to go through a Priest to make atonement for our sins. Jesus paid for our sins so we could have free access to the Father by Him. This gives us, you and me, access to God anytime day or night, that we need Him. That is so comforting to know.

Now think of all the sins you have ever committed, they are too numerous to count, yet all of them have been covered by Jesus’ shed blood on the cross, if you have received the gift of salvation through Jesus’ death on the cross for your sins. If you are born again, the Bible says you are a new creation in Christ, old things are passed away behold all things become new. (2nd Corinthiens 5:17)

It is good Lord, to be reminded of the miraculous work you did in me when I became born-again. Thank you for forgiving all my sins, my rebellious actions, my drunkenness, drug usage, fornication, my abortion, my lying, stealing, my pride and my idol worship. All these I lay at your feet Jesus. I no longer have to carry these sins on my back. You have exchanged my sins for your righteousness. I am so grateful to you Lord, the day you had mercy on this broken woman and opened my eyes to see that what I was doing was not working and I needed you in my life. I surrendered my will and my life to you and confessed my sins and asked Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. It was the most beautiful day of my life, Février 6, 1994. A day I will always cherish.

Des questions:

What is the Holy Spirit bringing to your mind right now?

D'abord, Are you born-again? Have you put your faith and trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Have you asked Him to forgive all your sins?

Even after we are saved, we need to confess our sins daily to God. Is there anything the Lord is putting on your heart that you need to confess publicly?

What are you most grateful to God For?

I pray the Lord will bless you as you seek His wisdom and discernment in your life.

Comment Dieu a-t-il utilisé votre douleur?

Comment Dieu a-t-il utilisé votre douleur?

(2 Corinthiens 1:3-5)

Quand je suis venu à Christ à l'âge de 34, Je souffrais d'une grave dépression, douleur physique dans mes articulations et fatigue. J'ai demandé des réponses à plusieurs médecins, mais ils n'ont rien trouvé. Mes résultats de tests, Analyses CAT, MRIs and blood work all came back normal. I was perplexed. What is wrong with me? I now realize that my mental, emotional and health struggles were God’s way of getting my attention. Because of how poorly I felt, I couldn’t participate in my regular activities. It was during this time of suffering that God began drawing me to Himself.

How has God used suffering in your life to get your attention? In my case, God used my pain, weakness, fatigue and depression. God knows exactly how to reach all of us so that we turn to and focus on Him. God has always used my physical health issues to remind me to lean on Him. He uses suffering so that first, we will realize how much we need Him in our life and secondly, what kind of changes we need to make.

When I had the courage to trust God and finally wanted more than mere survival, God met me right where I was. God used my distress to bring me to Him. Even during my period of pain, God used me to help others. When I followed His lead by reaching out to those in need, I received even more healing for myself. Dans 2 Corinthiens 1:3-5, God’s Word says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.” (ESV) God never wastes our suffering. It is all for a specific purpose. Some of you dear ones have suffered for a long time, and my heart goes out to you. It can seem very lonely at times, but God sees you. He loves you and has a purpose for your pain.

Christ suffered a horrific death on the cross for us. He also endured torture having been scourged, beaten, slapped, hit with rods and pierced in his skull with a crown of thorns. If anyone is acquainted with anguish and pain, it is Jesus. Come to Jesus just as you are, and He will give you comfort. Only He can carry you when you can’t take another step. He is the only one who will never leave you. He will not abuse you or take advantage of you. His love is pure, holy, just and life-affirming. His ways lead to true freedom and healing.

How has God used suffering in your life?

What is God showing you?

One day, beloved, we will be in glory in a place called Heaven where there is no more pain, sorrow or crying—a place where we will be embraced by the peace and love of Jesus.

Un temps de prière et de repentir

Un temps de prière et de repentir

Un temps de prière et de repentir
de Toni Weisz / Disciplines Spirituelles

2 rois 24:14, Psaume 139:23-24, et 2 Corinthiens 7:10

Récemment, mon pasteur a prêché sur le prophète Jérémie et les raisons pour lesquelles Dieu a puni son propre peuple à cette époque. God allowed Nebuchadnezzar, a powerful and ruthless Babylonian king, to overtake Jerusalem. He plundered the temple and the royal palace, and carried away the King of Judah, his mighty men, et 10,000 captives including all the craftsmen and smiths. None remained except for the ‘poorest people of the land’ (2 rois 24:14). But why would God allow this to happen? Much like us, the children of Israel struggled greatly with idolatry, specifically child sacrifice. The Bible describes this act as passing children through the fire (2 rois 21:6). In ancient times, many Israelites sacrificed their children to the false gods of Baal and Molech. Nebuchadnezzar’s successful plundering and capturing of Jerusalem’s royalty and workforce was part of God’s divine punishment for these sins…

In a similar way, we have followed in the footsteps of the Israelites by terminating the lives of our children. We may not physically hand over our newborn babies to be sacrificed like our ancient Jewish counterparts, but we end the lives of our children while still in our wombs. As a nation, we have murdered over 63 million children, passing them through the fire in sacrifice to our own false god: ourselves. My heart breaks when I think of the multitude of families that are missing a child, a grandchild, a great grandchild, a brother, or a sister. Entire generations of our families are missing. We have played “god” (little “g” god) by deciding whether our children live or die. Alors, today I dedicate a special prayer to each woman in this ministry and for our nation to repent of its sins of abortion and self-idolatry. My hope is that God will save future generations from this death and destruction.

Forgive us, Seigneur, for putting ourselves on the throne of our hearts instead of You. Only You can give life and take life. Forgive us for our sin of abortion. We are so sorry that we robbed You of the precious lives that You gave us. Forgive us for having sex outside of marriage thinking we knew best. You only wanted to protect us from the harm it would cause us and our children. Forgive us for our sin of lust and fornication.

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in Your way everlasting.” (Psaume 139: 23-24) Heavenly Father, in the powerful name of Jesus I pray. Come Holy Spirit and search each heart now, remove any blindness, help us to trust You and to surrender every part of our being to You. Bring into the light our evil thoughts and actions that have hurt You, others, and ourselves. Seigneur, forgive us for our selfish ways and our impure thoughts. Cleanse us from all our iniquity and cleanse us from our sins. We need You to renew our minds and purify our minds with the powerful Word of God. Bring down any unhealthy thinking or critical and unkind thoughts. Help us to be humble and teachable. Remove our sin of pride far from us. We want to walk in Your ways, Seigneur. We want to relinquish control to You, Seigneur. We want You to be first in our lives, Seigneur. We want You to be glorified through our lives, Seigneur. Be magnified in us today.

“For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.” (2 Corinthiens 7:10) Seigneur, we are totally broken over our sins. When we sin, let us think back to the Old Testament and picture the gruesome sacrifice of animals for a covering over our sins. In the New Testament, Jésus, the sinless Lamb of God, came and atoned for our sins and removed them from us. He was our substitute. He paid our sin-debt so we could be righteous before You. Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. You are Holy, Seigneur. Help us to be pure and holy. Help us to be separated from the world. We are foreigners here. This is not our home. Let us not be like Lot’s wife, who turned back to see the destruction of the world she came to love more than You, Seigneur. Par conséquent, God judged her, and she was turned into a pillar of salt (Genèse 19:26). Let me love Your ways, Seigneur, more than anything this world can offer me.

How long, Seigneur, will you hold back your hand of judgment upon America? Is the turmoil we are experiencing today a result of your church not standing up against all the evil in our world? How long will You tolerate our sins of pride, idolatry, and murder without bringing judgment upon us? Have mercy upon us, O Lord, and hold back Your hand of judgment upon us. Help us to acknowledge that our time is short. Help us to be about Your business in this world. Give us a new, fresh outpouring of your Holy Spirit to be bolder, more courageous, and more effective in the things we do in this ministry, in our churches, in our families, and in our workplaces. Set our hearts on fire with the power of Your Word. In the powerful name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Let’s take time now to allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts. Merci, Lord for what You are doing in our lives.

Des questions

  1. What has God put on your heart to pray about today?
  2. Is there anything you want to confess?
