Removing Block

"The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;." Psalm 24: 1, NIV ---- I usually watch television via the Internet on my laptop. I occasionally watch on my phone using their apps. When I logged into the ITV website using my laptop, a notice came up that it was forbidden on that server. After several attempts and no joy, I tried logging on via the Internet on my phone and I could access ITV just fine. I noticed I could access all Channel 4 channels via their website. P What's going on?  Why can't I  access all ITV channels on my laptop? I give up!  Lord, the Bible/Your Word says everything belongs to You, therefore, ITV belongs to You. Could you sort out whatever the reason is why I can't access the ITV website on my laptop? Thank you! After a few minutes, a notification came on that the VPN (virtual private network) was disconnected. Oh I see!  The Virus protector must have turned the VPN on. When the VPN is on, it treats you li...

Day Trip to Brighton

" And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those  who are the called according to  His  purpose." Romans 8: 28 ----- For the last two months, I've been waking up early on week days to watch Dr David Jeremiah on GodTV at 6am, as I find his sermons very inspiring.  This week he's been teaching about Romans Chapter 8, which he believes to be the Greatest chapter in the Bible Today he preached about Romans 8: 28 - which he believes to be the greatest promise in the Bible for all believers in Christ: "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."  Romans 8: 28 My friend and I had planned to take a trip to Brighton, a seaside resort  in the south coast of England. (It was my early birthday celebration). As my friend lives in east London and I Iive in north London, we arranged to meet at southwest London to catch the train to Brighton.p We had a f...

Human Spirit - Life or Death

Image
 "The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, but who can bear a broken spirit?."  Proverbs 18: 14 "The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear a crushed spirit?" Proverbs 18: 14 "But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit." 1 Corinthians 6: 17 "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." I Thessalonians 5: 23 ---- There was a time when my mum had to have hip replacement operations. One of them was even botched and she had to have it redone which meant spending lots of time in hospital. Even though mum went through a lot of suffering, she had hope she was going to be well.  She demonstrated her faith by ordering outfits and shoes that she intended to wear to church when she got better. That's exactly what happened  - mum got to wear her outfits to church.  A few months later, mum fell ill again.  I...

Sharing the Good

I've been meaning to get a handheld fan that a work colleague recommended,  but the store was sold out last week. I figured now thar it's slightly cooler, it wouldn't be so popular and I can get myself one. I was at the store first thing this morning. They told me they only had two remaining on the shelf, but the customer ahead of me had just grabbed them. They said it was too early to know whether any more had been delivered. The customer, who had just grabbed the last two, turned round and said to me, "I'm not greedy! You can have one." "Thank you so much!" I said to her.  "God bless you!". "Thank you! It's good to share!" she smiled. We were all happy, including the sales assistant. Thank you, God, for providing my fan! ❤️ Here's a photo of the fan, which can also be used as a desk fan.  It's brilliant! 👍 Fan bought from John Lewis.

My Joy Comes from God

"In Your presence is fullness of joy ." Psalm 16: 11 --- Someone told me I seemed very happy and I must be enjoying my job. I told him my mental state has nothing to do with my job, which is actually very challenging.   I wasn't inspired to go into further details. I believe there is a difference between human happiness and Joy Human happiness comes and goes. When things are going well, you're happy; when they're not, you're miserable. However, the Joy of the Lord stays with you whether things are going well or not. Nothing can take away my Joy, which is a gift from God. ❤️

Possessed by the Holy Spirit

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." Romans 12: 1 ---- I believe every moment I call on God for help or acknowledge His Presence, I am possessed by the Holy Spirit who works in and through me. Here's one example. When a fly came through my open bedroom window, I asked it to go out, but it kept flying around. So I  After about a minute, I couldn't take the buzzing anymore so I thought, God, please let this fly out! I then opened the window a lot wider and pulled the curtain out of the way. "Come on!" I pointed to the open window. The fly went out. As it was leaving, I could have sworn I heard the fly say, "Thanks, Sue!"  Have a nice day, Mr Fly! 😆

Gift Voucher

"In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3: 6 ---- So I went to this particular store to buy a birthday gift for a friend. What should I get her? I thought about getting her a gift voucher.  I know, I'll get her some beauty products! At the beauty department, I found a lovely pack of hand wash and lotion, which I thought she would like. On the way to the cashiers, I had a thought it wasn't right. After replacing the package back on the shelf, I asked myself, Lord, what should I get my friend? I had a thought about getting her a gift voucher. I remembered my friend had told me she had bought her trainers from a branch of this store. She obviously shops in this store so she can buy what she likes with the gift voucher at her closest branch. I then went to the cashiers to get the gift voucher, but there was a long queue there. I decided to try the cashiers at the men's department.  Other customers seem to have had the same idea as ...
