To the ends of the earth....

Over the years, we have visited towns,  villages, cities which to me have been totally oppressive...there was such a darkness in them that it was almost touchable....we did our business and exited as soon as possible...some to which we never returned...some,  over time became less oppressive...

Whether in The far reaches of Asia, the end of South America, or the city next door each has had its own air about it...welcoming or not...it had nothing to do with my attitude, but at the time whether God was honored or not....or false gods prevailed...

Standing the the street corner of Ushuaia, Argentina, the southern most town of South America , was a young man handing out Christian  tracts to passersby...a mixture of people from all over the world...or visiting a Buddhist or Muslim temple in the heart of Asia,  a beam of light shown through, seeming to say, "I AM here"...or riding jeeps across the wide expanse of Mongolia with the Jesus Film crew, showing Jesus in film and life...building schools in the Ukraine, walking on the streets of Nepal, struggling the the tropics of Southeast Asia or Central America, raising a building or sitting in a cafe Australia, digging wells in drought ridden Africa....God's presence is there....you can't ignore Him....to the ends of the earth....

Thank YOU that nothing is too dark that Your light can't penetrate ......





Jesus calling-December 5
Let My Presence override everything you experience. Like a luminous veil of Light, I hover over you and everything around you. I am training you to stay conscious of Me in each situation you encounter.
When the patriarch Jacob ran away from his enraged brother, he went to sleep on a stone pillow in a land that seemed desolate. But after dreaming about heaven and angels and promises of My Presence, he awoke and exclaimed: “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” His discovery was not only for him but for all who seek Me. Whenever you feel distant from Me, say: “Surely the Lord is in this place!” Then, ask Me to give you awareness of My Presence. This is a prayer that I delight to answer.
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.
—Psalm 31:20
When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”
—Genesis 28:11–16
