Coffee with Kathy /// Going Deeper
“The one who does not love does not know God, for God is
love. By this the love of God was
manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so
that we might live through Him.
“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He
loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [full, complete and perfect
payment] for our sins. Beloved, if God
so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
“And we have come to know and have believed the love
which God has for us. God is love, and
the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected with us, that we
may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in
this world.
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out
fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected
in love. We love, because He first loved
us.
“If someone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he
is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot
love God whom he has not seen. And this
commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his
brother also.” I John 4:8-11, 16-21
Isn’t God wonderful, and kind, and compassionate, and
merciful, and understanding, and … personal?
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS
·
Isaias and Judith
(Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – the Philippines has been
devastated by constant batterings from typhoons. Their ministry (New Website for
information: https://afcph.org/
) faces so many challenges and now many of their leadership group and groups of
believers have lost everything and their worship centres have been
destroyed. There is also a growing threat
of China claiming their country. Pray
for those who lead, administer, work, teach and contribute to the
ministry. Pray our Father continues to
keep these servants strong, in good health, safe and supported and that they
keep a balance in their lives. They need funds badly now. Please pray for them. Go to the website or send encouragement to Isaias

USA – Pray the Lord will demonstrate His power in
unexpected and uniting ways during these times of unrest and confusion. Help hearts settle and rest in Him
alone. Let the truth of God’s Word and
ways overcome the drive to destroy our founding, Bible-based values. For Christ-centre, Bible-based revival in the
USA and religious freedom for Christians wherever they may be.
·
Kevin and Sandy
Currel – (in Melbourne) Kevin has a
wonderful ministry in teaching through images and words and has created many
Christian resources. (To learn
more: https://www.kevincurrell.com/ ). He
just had another procedure, which looks good and will have the results next
week. Please continue to pray for him, especially
that God will supply the funds needed for this extraordinary time.
·
Kim –
whose Mom just died and whose father is quite frail and in his 90s. Pray the Lord will speak to Kim (the
responsible one of the family) during this time of confusion and expectations
that she will rest in Christ.
·
Peyton
- eldest granddaughter of Jeff and Rachael.
Pray for this lovely woman of God as she goes off to college, that she
remains safe and strong in her beliefs and convictions and continues to
encourage many with her loving faithfulness to the Lord.
·
Tracey –
fell and broke three or four ribs and is still recovering. Pray she will be patient and that the pain
will be easily managed.
·
Hans –
a dear friend in Germany, had a CT scan that found the cancer is not growing. He thanks you for your prayers and reports
that his left hand is almost back to normal. Please continuing to pray for his healthcare
providers, his patience and wisdom. Pray
he is surrounded by faithful and compassionate Christian friends who will
support him through this journey. Pray
for his Mom (age 83) is unwell herself, that their time together will be filled
with extraordinary good memories and lots of love.
·
USA President
Donald Trump – As Christians it
is our responsibility to pray for our leaders and trust that God has a plan for
the USA through this man. If you
doubt the importance of his appointment, just look at the baseless antagonism
against him. Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to thwart God’s plan. Pray someone helps President Trump and Melania understand the true meaning of a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Pray they will both have an insatiable hunger to read God’s Word for
themselves. Pray God sends a
Bible-Believing Christian to regularly disciple them in the Truth. Pray God shuts the mouths of the false
prophets who regularly circle around them.
·
Me – I
need God’s guidance and wisdom in a situation.
Pray for those in full-time service
During this time, when the entire world is struggling to understand this new ‘plague’, it is critical for us to uphold our Christian leaders. They will be needed everywhere. Pray for their wisdom, safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones who are fragile health wise. It is important to protect them in practical ways and most important we must pray even more for them that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
