Greetings and godly love to my sisters who love the Lord! Last weekend we were at a preach and ran into a past co-worker that we both knew. I looked up that man and his wife (older people like us) and they had a picture of them standing by their super expensive sports car. Out of our heart our lives are lived and they showed what's in theirs (they got the gospel though so hope they repent) and then I thought about brother Tupos and I, where our hearts are today and the pictures of us here on our website....totally different than that couple we knew and who we used to be (like them) and what the Lord has done to us...making us new creations. All to His glory because we were the worst of the worst, way more so than those people I'm talking about, and I thought about the scriptures that remind people that they 'once were' also. Titus 3:3-7 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. [4] But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; [6] Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; [7] That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Ephesians 2:11-13,19 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; [12] That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: [13] But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. [19] Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: I love those because it levels everyone, leaving no room for pride. I've never had a problem of thinking I was better than anyone once I came to Christ because I knew I never deserved it (because of how awful I was) and know I still don't, but some people have that issue and have to be careful and examine themselves on it. Oftentimes it's people with religious pride, those who were raised with more morals in their lives, not as much sin as the extra worldly people and they think they just have to make a few adjustments to their life in order to follow the commands of scripture. It makes me sad because that's not the fruit of a transformed life, from darkness to light, that's a physical work in the flesh to obey, which won't please God because it's done without the spirit. Test yourself to the biblical gospel HERE and see if you truly are in the faith. Galatians 2:20 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. I actually love reminders of who I used to be because I quickly see the power of God in a transformed life in who I am today. And I want that for the world and therefore the reason why I'm (and brother Tupos) so passionate to preach the gospel and help people along the way. Ever since I was born from above, I've had that drive to share the truth cuz I didn't want my neighbor to perish, that's just a natural thing when you have the Holy Spirit in you! But we can only help those who want the help and are willing to 'hear' the truth and obey it. The Lord knows who they are and we just continue on, the best we can, shining the light He put in us. Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. It's been another super busy day, washing clothes (bedding and a load of heavy items at the laundrymat, cleaning, sewing and organizing. This morning I was blessed with a walk to the dent bent discount store and find a few things. While I was walking I saw the line painters on the road...painting all the lines, making sure they do it just right otherwise there would be a mess and maybe accidents....do we pay that much attention to details in our lives when obeying the Lord? As I was walking, I was testing myself, pondering some things and asking the Lord to reveal anything in me that shouldn't be there... Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. I won't share all the details here about it all but I'll say this....just at the right time, a woman came out of nowhere (not literally but I didn't see where she came from) and I was able to share a gospel card with her and warn her about deception. God does those things:-) 1 Peter 5:6-9 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: [7] Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. [8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [9] Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. We're working our way to a weekend preach, Lord willing and maybe a park overnight along the way but let's see what really happens. The Lord knows and we just want to do His will. I hope you all strive on Greetings sisters who love the Lord who first loved us! We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19 How have your days been going? We've been busy the past many days, praise the Lord for He is worthy of all our labors, as tiny as they are compared to Him, but still our best. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Psalm 145:1 We take a lot of witness walks during the day, whenever possible, in and out of stores, up and down sidewalks in the towns, giving gospel cards sharing truth whenever possible. In the evenings we try to take another walk and it always makes me smile when out of nowhere, someone comes walking down the sidewalk and gets the GOSPEL good news. One of the recent evening walks we took was in a tourist town that we had been witnessing in (flying signs and street preaching) and I thought I'd show you one picture of the MANY buildings of rooms at this resort. There are a TON of places like this in the town. People flock from Chicago and Minneapolis to come there and fulfill the lust of the flesh and we hope to be a light to someone who might be seeing through it all as futile. They had these wicked, demonic statues out by their drive and it amazes me how much satan has right in front of people's eyes but the blindness is still there...ourselves included when we were not in Christ. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, [18] Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Ephesians 4:17-18 I thought I'd share some more pics of one of our walks. To God be the glory, how refreshing in a dark world. We really appreciate our evening walks, when we can do them, as it's a time of refreshing for us, people get the gospel and we can stop doing and just 'be' for a bit. Remember to do that sisters, however that works for you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 That level is in the back of the van by our bed and you can see it's very unlevel, which is a common thing in van life. It makes me kill my flesh and be thankful for a place to park, a nice bed to sleep, a pillow and blankets and so much more and my thankfulness increases over and above my flesh, which I hate. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. [5] For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100:4-5 This afternoon, brother Tupos had some things to do on the van so I started prepping some shirts for mending etc. Tomorrow will be more van work (Lord willing) and so I'll be, hopefully, doing the sewing (by hand cuz there's no room for a sewing machine:) What I'm doing is sewing some inserts on some shirts that got a bit thin so I dismantled one shirt and I can modify 3 shirts. I'll also try sewing some pockets on a shirt as I like how it provides more coverage. I look forward to seeing how it all turns out. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. Proverbs 31:18 I was just reading about Deborah the prophetess in Judges and Jael (go read about her in Judges 4) and thought about how strong and hearty the women had to be back then and I think Proverbs 31 really sums up who they all were and what we should all be. Her candle goeth out not by night....I laugh at that because I often do clothes late in the evening, plunging / washing the clothes that soaked the night before and then recycling the rinse water to soak the next batch of clothes. What you see in that picture is a cloth bag with a few soap nuts in it. It's a natural way to clean clothes (you can look them up) and I hope to do a post on them soon. That picture makes me think of flesh killing lol. I've had a lot of technology issues lately and a lot of opportunities to kill my flesh, of which I've done a great job at but want to improve on. (We will never stop improving how fast we kill that wretched flesh.) It was hard to do but I had to buy a new chromebook but was blessed to find the exact same one I've been using, for a good deal and it's upgraded from the old version, so that's even a bigger blessing. That was the sunset by us tonight by our parking spot, that the Lord made and allowed us to look at and give Him glory. I have to go....I hope you all have a joyous day and rejoice in the Lord, overcoming the flesh, being thankful in all things and rejoicing to be the daughter of the most High. Hold fast and love to you all! Sister Aman For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:20
Greetings sister saints who have left their life for Christ! He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 10:39 We were out on the streets today (you can find that post HERE) and while out there, brother Tupos talked about how Americans ignore the gospel but they would line up for an autograph from a famous person if they walked down the street. It made me think of.... And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Luke 16:15 We saw a lot of that today and every day (especially Sundays where people highly esteem their unbiblical churches) and even though I used to be all that (we see out here), I'm not beyond examining myself to make sure I'm not highly esteeming anything outside of Christ. When you see thousands of people each week, most heading to their demise, it's a humbling thing and reminds us to seek inside ourselves to make sure there is nothing in us as we help them see their sins. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Matthew 7:3-5 I have a lot to get done yet today and I'm sure you do too sisters, let's press on doing all things unto the Lord, praying for one another as we go about our days. Love to you all, in Christ who is the Lord of all, Sister Aman Greetings sister saints! I hope you are busy minding things of the Lord and that which is good and pure and true..... Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:8-9 We've had another busy day in the streets with a preach this morning / afternoon (you can see that HERE) and then this evening (you can see that HERE) and I was telling brother Tupos that the Lord rewards our faithfulness with the strength to keep going and going for Him, lifting us up over our earthly tents that are getting tattered as the days go on. We're just His faithful servants trying to do our best for Him as the workers are so scarce and He deserves so much. I thought I'd share some scriptures...about strength from the Lord. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13 He is our strength and we CAN do all things through Him, we're living proof of it aren't we sisters! Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6 He will go with us (we have the Holy Spirit in us) and he will never forsake us, it's us who can forsake Him. For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. Deuteronomy 20:4 Amen. Yes that's old testament but if you know how to rightly discern, that's echoed in the new testament so it is for us (as are many other scriptures)...the Lord is with us, He will fight with us / for us as we have His armor (Ephesians 6) and we can do all things through Him. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 I love that one too! And I'll leave us with this one... And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 We are almost done with our day, getting ready for another day preaching the gospel on the streets tomorrow, Lord willing at a big art fest and then possibly another so called Christian music fest in the evening but 'let's see what really happens'. I say that a lot because things can change so quickly out here lol. I've learned how to go minute by minute at times:) That's good because all our minutes are the Lord's and we'll just do what He wants, not what we want, being faithful in it all. Amen?! I don't get a chance to do many audios here for you but that's okay because brother Tupos and I do an audio (almost) every night so you can find them HERE. If anyone has any questions regarding the roles of women, preaching the gospel, home making, encouragement etc you can email and I'll do a post / audio or whatever is necessary for it to encourage you along. I hope your day goes well and that you keep striving after our Master who is worthy! Love to you all, in Christ who is our Messiah, Sister Aman Greetings godly sisters! O come, let us sing unto the Lord : let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. Psalm 95:1-3 I hope your day is going well in the Lord and you're redeeming the time for Him! I was reading in Acts the other day... And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. Acts 13:5-7 The deputy wanted to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Acts 13:8 A worker of Satan tried to stop the truth from going out. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? Acts 13:9-10 And what happens next... And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Acts 13:11 This is awesome, I love what happens next! Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. Acts 13:12 God can use anything to His glory and for His people. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 We see such workers of Satan all the time out here and although we don't always see the hand of the Lord in what happens with the person we're sharing truth with, we can take comfort knowing that God is watching, He is in control and He can use all things for His glory and to help those who are seeking. What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Romans 9:22-23 Don't be discouraged if you see workers of Satan trying to stop the truth, trust in the Lord that His will be done in it all and you keep going about your works unto Him. We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3 It's a rainy day here in the city we've been for a while but we're heading down the gospel road to a preach this weekend, Lord willing, and it looks like the weather will clear up, but we shall see. Along the way I continue to do my godly woman works unto the Lord. I may live in a tiny house and not have to spend as much time on things as maybe some of you do, but we all have a lot of the same things to do, which is a nice thought to ponder as we go about them...knowing other sisters are doing the same. I hope your day goes well and you strive on for the glory of God, pressing into the kingdom and being a shining light to those around you. Love to you all, in Christ who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Sister Aman |
