Did something carnal tonight

No stones to throw here. Ravenhill just makes me do some SERIOUS introspection.

Good ol' Leonard was way late with that expression. I heard it long before he wrote, "Why Revival Tarries." He may have heard it from my own Father. He used it long before I was ankle high to a toad...and just as ugly. I've heard many others besides my father use it long before He copped it in his writings.

Bro Strange, KP said that Ravenhill was commenting on that expression...not taking credit for coining it. His post a page or two back explains that a little better.

Lord bless...

We took 30 of them. Bought their tickets gave some of them snack money and they had the biggest time...
Remember I work with people who have never had the money to even go to McDonalds...the park cost what a man would make working 2 and a half days per person! (Brazilian money)
Needless to say they were amazed beyound words....and we rode some of the rides with them and that seemed to make it so special to them...

Rejoice my friends...you have untold and uncounted blessings that most of the world will never enjoy...If you could have seen their smiles...

Blessings to you, Sis. Alvear. I am so glad that you and these children had this wonderful time together. .....Anyone who might condemn that is a little nuts in my opinion. ..LOL

Sister Alvear you stated, "I did something carnal today" -- however after reading WHAT it was that you did --- I have to say that there is, to me, a vast difference in doing something carnal and doing something natural. Carnal, in the Biblical sense, refers to desires of the flesh that are contrary to the Spirit (if we walk after the flesh - we die - if we walk after the Spirit - we live). Doing something natural does not mean an out-of-bounds fleshly appetite -but rather just living (we are IN the world but not OF it).

I do not see your excursion to the park as carnal (in any sense) but just an example of living in this world while walking as a Christian. More power to you and may God allow more good times in a very bad world for all of you and your people.

JMO, anyway

I just want to please my lovely Lord but I think He was happy we took out time for my SS class...Do you know what time some of them went to bed? We got home about 11 but at 4 this morning some were still sitting in my living room! Then they have been back today to thank me. Most of them live in little houses around us...They are my joy...I feel some of them have the call of God on their life please pray for them.

[Sister Alvear]

Yes, please help us in prayer for a great revival...we are pushing forward and penetrating the dark domain of spiritual bondage in this country.

I guess it depends how we look at the statement...

Right now while I am writing our son Raul Jr is traveling visiting some of the churches in the state of Sao Paulo Brazil in fact he drove all night long...another son, Arlei is in the jungle with a tem laying the foundation for a headquarters jungle area work...another son in the Lord is traveling to the country of Paraguay tomorrow night to visit and encourage the small work we have in that corner of Brazil.
One of our son in laws traveled last night for the states to visit some churches and raise support for his projects here in Brazil. My husband and son Ednei and family leaves in a few minutes with a group to visit a church in another city a little over an hour’s drive from here. My son Michael will take me and a group to visit another village church that is having a special service tonight. One of our sons in the gospel and fellow missionary, Brother Ryan will be preaching tonight. So we are going to “back” him up…not that he needs any backing as he is a tremendous preacher.

So we are a spiritual bunch tonight! ha...love you folks...and Kansas Preacher you are welcome to come see us...
And Brother Stange thank you for your pm...
love you folks...
Happy mother's day to the mothers reading this post...

Sister Alvear,

I'm honored. I've been asked to come to Peru. Maybe I can just make a whirlwind South American tour.

God bless.
