In the Advent season we are reminded that God has come, is here and is coming again.
I was praying in the car. Listening to songs of worship, joining in at times or just talking to God. Bringing up areas in my life I was wanting God to be victorious in. As I prayed out loud, the Spirit reminded me of all the prayers that have been coming in during the last few days. Prayers needed for so many things, so many people, so many situations. In the midst of the words of prayer, the feelings of pain, grief and suffering, real tears in my eyes came to the fore.
Oh, so many experiences of people hurting, so many situations that are demoralising, are downright wrong, so many crying out to God. My heart was weeping for each and everyone.
O Lord, you say you have come and are coming again.
Oh Lord when, when are you coming to these people, to these situations, to answer these needs, real needs of people? We are crying out to you, O God. When are you coming?
And once again the gracious Lord answered me. He answered me in the way I often listen to Him – in worship. In song.
These words of a song came out of the radio.
They say this mountain can’t be moved.
They say these chains will never break
But they don’t know You like we do
There is power in your name.
We’ve heard that there is no way through
We’ve heard the tide will never change
They haven’t seen what you can do
There is power in your name.
Move the unmovable
Break the unbreakable
God we believe
God we believe for it.
“Believe For It” CeCe Winans
We need to believe in our God. Believe that He can! The enemy wants us to lose. To NOT believe in God (that’s how he wins). Don’t let him!
Our God can.
Our God will. Our God saves us. His timing is perfect.
So, bring All your needs before Him and let us call out for mercy and see what He does.
So, bring all of your prayer needs. Send them into us at Heart.
My prayer team will offer all of your prayers up and petition to the King of Kings to come.
And on the 26th December, the day after our saviour comes to the earth we are going to believe for It.
Show our belief in our Saving All Loving God.
I don’t want to be living in a town like Nazareth, I don’t want to be one of those people living there, where not many miracles could occur there because the people did not believe.
And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.
Matt 13:58 NRSV
I will be praying for people’s needs during our Heartbeat video on the 26th of December. If you would like me to pray for you, please email me prayer@heartministryforwomen.com
I am believing for God’s miracles, His mercy, His grace and His love to pour upon you and your needs.
May these jottings from my journal inspire you to believe in and fall in love with Christ- the hope of the world, as stated in Jeremiah 17:7, ‘Blessed is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord and whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord!’
Love

Thank you Rosemary for your wonderful faith in our God, & for your sharing. Please pray for my Family, that they would come to know, love & serve God in this life so as to be with Him in Heaven for all Eternity.

Thank you Rosemary for this very relevant, timely message!!! I really needed to hear this with the ears of my heart , that God Can!!! I have had challenges all my life!!! But as I look back I could see where the Lord was with me and didn’t even realize it at the time!!! In this season of my life I am facing challenges that are overwhelming, like violent storms that would like to tip me out of the boat and see me drown!!! You are right about the enemy who wants us to lose and NOT BELIEVE IN GOD!!! I will be sending you my prayer request via email Rosemary! Thank you and your prayer Team at Heart Ministry!!! God bless you all!!!

Thank you Rosemary for your words the Holy Spirit puts in your gentle heart, for you to share with us.
Our son Mark keeps asking us to pray for his wife Kim’s father who has terminal cancer he’s suffering so much, we do pray, but they want a Miracle, my brother’s wife June is in the hospital very sick. They want us to pray, I say to them that we can Pray but God is in charge, it’s very hard to let go of someone you love so much, please for our son Daniel who is facing financial problems, he needs to have a job that he can work fr home, for he is teaching his 2 sons from home, pray for him to believe again on our Lord Jesus. Barry and I are feeling beaten down ,but we must always pray Alleluia Jesus . Because that’s what the enemy makes us feel. , he hates when we put Jesus Our Lord first, by saying Alleluia Jesus 🙏

Rosemary: Today I asked you to pray for me as my faith is so weak right now. With this new Omicron Covid virus that is now among us and spreading so fast. I have only asked for one thing for next year and that is that my husband and I can make one last trip to Cuba in March of 2022. He has been diagnosed with dementia and right now he is doing quite well. This is his wish as well as mine. I know it doesn’t seem like it is important – but I would like to take him there to see our dearest friends that we made during our travels. That is all he talks about. He is already starting to plan what we are taking with us. I keep saying God willing – but I am finding it very hard to believe these days.
Thank you all – I wish you all a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, Bruce, Emma and everyone at Bruce Downes Ministries.
Love in Christ

Yes Rosemary it’s me again! I will be sending you an email but for now, I have a burden on my heart concerning my Mother.
She is 87 frail and her phone call I received this morning, she was crying and depressed. She lives in Queensland. The last
time I saw her was at my Dad’s funeral 6 years ago! Please could you pray with me that I will be able to see her soon, before
she passes away. That this new Covid outbreak will not prevent me from seeing her for yet another year! Please pray for virtually
all members of my family and relatives who have either left the Lord far behind them in their lives, or have never experienced a
personal, loving, life changing relationship with Him. Thank you and God bless you Rosemary!
In Christ’s love,
Valerie
