Do You Believe?

Walmart Prayer Day... Read more about this miracle here. WATCH THE VIDEO. Turn on the sound.

 

Walmart Prayer Day from Spiritually Unequal Marriage on Vimeo.

June 12, 2014 Random Acts of Kindness: People who love Jesus descended upon the Temecula Walmart. We gave away hundreds of free gift cards, flowers, lollipops, hugs and we prayed. We prayed for healing from cancer, head injury, and arthritis. We stood for marriages and prayed for veterans. We released blessings and favor upon the shoppers.

We loved. We loved because we are loved.

 

 

 

MIRACLE UPDATE

My friends, our amazing community raised more than $1,000 for our Nepali brothers and sisters. We raise this through small donation of $5, $10, and $15. Just amazing. A miracle indeed!

Lisa has written you a thank you note, please read it here. Also, to everyone who gave, we have prayed a financial prayer of blessing for you. You can read it here.

Dineen and I (Lynn) are praying and asking our Lord for our next miracle. Thank you.

Community Miracle:  Do You Believe?

Matthew 10:8

"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give."

Today’s post is going to mess you up. It’s going to take you all over the place and it is going to bring you home. This post will give you a glimpse of a love that surpasses logic and understanding. And this post is so much about you. Please forgive me if I prayed for you before you read this and ask God to move you by this story. I prayed: 

O Lord, rend our heart. Open it bleeding to feel what you feel. To love like you love. To be the chosen of the Chosen ONE to bring your purpose, your love and your Kingdom to this world today. In Jesus powerful name. Amen. 

This community at SUM believes in miracles. And we were part of a miracle for Gina. You can read about that miracle, here and here. 

But today it’s time for another miracle. 

This is Lisa Stewart.

  Lisa

Lisa is a 90-pound, spitfire who is so in love with Jesus that every time she starts to talk about Him, her voice quivers and tears spring to her eyes. I kid you not.. Every – single - time. It’s like this fascinating, kinda, funny fountain of love from the Holy Spirit that bubbles up. It’s one my favorite things to do to Lisa is to just ask her anything about how much God loves…. It’s like an automatic sprinkler system *grin*. And I poke a little humor her way but my friends, I LOVE THAT ABOUT LISA. I love her passion for Jesus, her belief in miracles her limitless compassion, love and purposeful serving for those who have less than nothing. 

It’s time for all of us to share in a miracle. I KNOW without doubt that God has uniquely placed all of us together in this online family because we have a tender heart and truly know what suffering is about. We have been broken and bleeding and through that God has birthed in us a compassion and empathy for others who lie broken along the road like the man who was beat up and left on the road to Jericho. Do you remember the Good Samaritan story? Go read it again today and let God speak through those words. I just read it this morning and it nearly took me to the floor. (Luke 10:25) 

Mercy. It’s about love and it’s about mercy. 

God has been so merciful to me. And to you! 

So, it’s time for another community miracle. And I promise you Dineen and I have been praying for months for God to show us our next miracle. And we waited and waited and waited. Finally, Lisa shows up to have lunch with me last week. With tears, with smiles with her love and that’s when I knew. Our next miracle is also part of Lisa’s. 

You see Lisa is a missionary who serves a tiny population of villagers in a remote area of Nepal. 

Villagers

This is the story of these two villages and why they are so important to us. Lisa explained that through one man who came to study as a missionary here in America, the gospel of Jesus Christ returned home with him and a small Christian church was born within this heavily Hindu practicing area. Lisa linked elbows with Depak and has been traveling to this area for years now. She serves, she loves, she shares Jesus. 

As Lisa was telling me about her most recent adventure, I was deeply touched. The villagers just received two new water wells. Prior to this there was not one single safe source of water. The water was contaminated and Lisa put it bluntly. The villagers ingest tiny worms through the contaminated water, parasites, that slowly eat away at their insides. Yep, sorry to be so graphic, but it is the brutal truth. 

So just this summer two wells were installed.

Well
One in each village where they serve. 

So why the long story. Because this is the end of a long set up. It is a Jesus-set up that is so powerful it’s astonishing, beautiful and so filled of love that it makes me gush like Lisa. 

Now read this and see if you see Jesus and how He worked among the needy while on earth. After the wells were installed earlier in the summer, Lisa traveled with a team of physicians to bring medical care to these Nepali people. They have never seen a doctor, ever. 

 

Line for medical
Line for Medical Care


And here is the set up. First they provided clean water. Then they provided medical care, and then guess what? They were introduced to Jesus and they were prayed over.

 

Prayer for the people
Each Nepoli was prayed over

Do you know what happened? Over 400 Nepali villagers prayed to receive Jesus into their hearts. 

My friends, why does this matter to us? Well, these are brand new Christians. Our brothers. Our sisters. And guess what? 

This December is their first Christmas. And with our help we are going to give them their first Christmas present. 

MosquitoLet me explain. It’s about Malaria (read the description of this ugliness here). Lisa contracted Malaria while in Nepal. She described to me such horrible sickness that it’s too graphic to share right now. Her sickness led her to pray and God said, “The Nepali people often suffer with this sickness. Help them.” You see what happens is the bad water and the parasites weaken a body to such a point that when a child, the elderly or weak are bitten by a mosquito carrying the Malaria, it can kill them. 

Now here is where I’m going to mess you up. This woman was waiting in line to see the doctor. And what this photo doesn’t show is that when this child was examined by the doctor, he looked over at Lisa and shook his head. The terrible indication obvious, this child would not survive. 

Mother and child
Sorry to pull at your heart strings but I did so on purpose.


I think Lisa cried a fresh telling me this story. I know I did.  

But,…… and with God, there is always a “but” to the story and Jesus died so there would always be hope. 

A simple solution for this tragedy is twofold, one the water source. It has been provided. Two, malaria nets.

 

Net
Insecticide treated Malaria nets

That’s where we come in. An entire family can sleep under a net at night and that will protect them from the mosquitos that only come out after dusk. One net is $5. 

It is our privilege to be part of these villages very first Christmas and to present each family with one mosquito net. 

Let’s storm the gates of heaven and allow God to love on these people and allow ourselves to be part of it. I’m praying now for 500 nets. NO. Let’s pray bigger, 1,000 nets. That will be enough for two villages. 

Ask God about this. Ask Him if you are to be part of this love offering. You can give $5, or $10 or $15. But no more than $15. All of us must be part of this love in motion. And if you can’t give, it is absolutely OKAY… Really, really okay. But, if God moved your heart, then get your card out and click over to our Paypall account.

UPDATE: Thank you. Donations are complete.

My friends, this may seem like a small thing but …. But with God, these people will KNOW that God’s people love and love with a mighty power. The darkness of Hinduism is about to feel a quaking in Nepal because God is on the move and He is using ordinary women, wives and moms and dads out there to change a people. 

Thank you. I love you. Jesus loves you. 

We will only have this miracle for three short weeks. The last time you can make a donation is November 25th. 

And the great thing, Lisa will have photos for us when the nets are delivered for Christmas. 

God is good. He has given us so much. Thank you for giving to others this season of miracles. Love and hugs, Lynn

God bring your miracles and let us bear witness to your signs and wonders. In Jesus name. Amen

My friends, if you are okay with it, would you please share this post with your friends, family and Facebook. Thank you.
