Very interesting indeed.....

My dear friends, praying that you all had an amazing day today - mine was absolutely mind-blowing - very exciting indeed. God is just incredibly faithful to me - He has brought some people into my life at just the right time, for just the right opportunity - I won't go into any detail, as that would be spoiling the surprise........yet I can tell you, the possibilities are tremendous. Now all that it takes, is patiently waiting for God to take the lead......showing me, where He wants me to go/what He wants me to do.

I promise you, once He gives me the green light, I will let you know for sure. For now I am just blown away at all the marvellous things, He seems to orchestrate in my life.

But then the enemy of my soul never rests.....tries to undo me all over again - I can assure you though, that I am perfectly fine........even though some of it does hurt, but I stand firm in His promises: If God is for me, who can be against me, that I would have to be afraid of - no one, neither my fellow men, nor the devil himself!!! Jesus has saved me.....first from my own sin, through His death on the cross and His abounding Grace - now from my adversaries.

I will have to say Good Night to you now, as I have to spend some time with the Love of my life, my precious Jesus......after an eventful day, I need to rest in His arms......and be restored through His word (His Love Letter to me!!!).

I love you all and my prayer is for a peaceful night to all of you, who need to find rest......maybe just like me.....in the arms of the lover of your soul.

Praise God for His great provision for His children - yesterday, today and tomorrow.

In Christ forever more

He anoints and appoints - He recharges us.....

He anoints and appoints - how amazing is that. Leaders of countries, Leaders of Churches, Heads of companies, teachers, nurses, mothers, fathers - when we do what we are meant to do, we are fulfilled, joyful - and we are never running on empty. Even if you're extremely occupied and one meeting is after the other, if it's on God's to do list for you, He will recharge you.....

I had such a scenario on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Under normal circumstances, i should have been incredibly exhausted - but I wasn't, actually I felt highly energized. Thank you Jesus, for helping me to be in tune more and more with your will for me.

If you are tired and exhausted, chances are, that you are either not where God wants you to be, or you are trying to do what you're called to do in your own strength. This has been me for many many years - I was constantly exhausted, with no way out.....ever - yet today, after laying it all down at the feet of my saviour, I am tired at the end of the day, yes, but never exhausted in the same way, I used to be.

Now that I know, that He is the one in charge of the How, and I surrendered all the things, that I thought I had to do or fix myself, to Him, I feel energized and Joyful all the time - despite of or because of my circumstances - even if the whole world persecutes me for my faith and think that I am on the wrong track......I know, that I will forever only have to report to Him - no one can ever take me hostage again.

When I came here a little over 3 years ago, and through all the struggles, I often prayed, that God would send me true friends, friends that would love me, for who I am and not for who they thought I should be. This prayer has been answered plentiful. I am forever grateful for all the wonderful people, God has put into my life.

If you are somewhere feeling lonely, ask God to send you people who truly accept and love you for who you are - I know, He will bless you with friends, just as He has blessed me. He wants you to have wonderful relationships - He is a relational God. And while you are waiting for Him to bless you with true friends, draw close to Him - for He is your very best friend......

Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be given unto you!!!! Once you have found the kingdom of God all else will have lost significance, it is then that we can receive all the blessings, God longs to give to us with a grateful heart - it is then, that all we do and have has a deeper meaning and is not self-serving anymore.

God bless you my friends - Good Night

You mean so much to Him

What an amazing concert last night in Toronto: Michael W. Smith - performing at The Church at Queensway. I just love the guy - his music has been inspirational for me in my walk with Christ for almost 20 years. His Lyrics always hit home and his music has helped to heal many many wounds in my heart - and he has inspired me to trust in God, to believe, that I really mattered to my Heavenly Father. Yesterday his message was again: God is incredibly fond of us - He really really loves us, and we can/have to stand tall in the promises of God......

You all know these promises - I have mentioned them galore in this blog.....over and over again. Let me tell you one more time: God would have sent His only son to die for you - if you had been the only person on earth. He just loves you. You are His Masterpiece, he created you to fulfil your destiny, the purpose He prepared for you, before the earth was created. He lovingly and patiently waits for your return. The story of the Prodigal  Son is true......and Our Heavenly Father is actively waiting for you to return. He will never grow weary - He believes in you, that you will return to Him eventually. So He waits and waits.......may I suggest, that you run to Him tonight - He so longs to wrap His loving arms around you and give you all the blessings He has prepared for you since the beginning of time.

What are we waiting for???

Tonight I am praying for you - that you would claim the promises of God for yourself, that you'd be able to withstand the enemy of your soul, that whispers lies over lies into your heart and mind - prompts you to build walls around your heart. Stand tall in the promises of God - that all is possible for Him, who believes. It doesn't even have to be you.....if someone prays for you, you can be saved - Prayer is powerful. I am praying for all of those, who asked me for prayer on their behalf....I have people that I need to pray for  - and I am praying for all of you in general. God knows your heart, and He will make a way, where there seems to be no way. 

If you want me to pray for you individually and more in depth, please feel free to send me a message on Facebook (Youschka Heintz) or follow me on twitter (youschka2012) - I do follow back :)

Jesus had you in mind, when He died on the Cross - You are forgiven
Your sister in Christ - forever and ever

What an amazing conference....

Yesterday I went to the most fabulous Conference - the 24th Annual School Psychology Conference - the speakers were: Dr. Stuart Shanker and Jane Bertrand - what an amazing pair.

When I walked into the Building, a string orchestra was playing live music - first time moved to tears - I just love strings.......okay, then I got a coffee and a muffin - some water and off I went listening to the most amazing account of the work they're doing, to help to free children with autism - how to reframe how we look at the children in our society. I was moved to tears many times, but especially, when Stuart Shanker said, that every child has a beautiful gift inside - that's what God says about all of us - and Dr. Shanker has grasped this essence with his work - I don't know, if he is a christian or not, but He shared deep insight on what's wrong with our society today, and how kids are suffering with an overload for their senses - and he has found a way to help to connect with autistic children. 

On one hand I wish I had known about his work several years back, maybe the path for my son could have been easier - but then again, that might have not been helpful in our journey, as I might have relied on Dr. Shanker and not on God alone, to see us through. But now, that I have placed all my trust in God, it's good to know, that there is people like Dr. Shanker - who is also one of God's masterpieces, God placed the desire, to do brain research and ultimately help children to connect on a deeper level to their environment and those around them, in his heart. This research will help our society tremendously - and it will reach more and more people all over the world over time. Thanking God for His great plan, to redeem all mankind, through people in all kinds of walks.

You may remember, that I always wanted to help reach and unlock children with autism - well, who knows, maybe one day I will be able to work with Dr. Shanker from the therapeutic side of things - for now, I will direct people in my sphere of influence, that have children with autism to him. But from what I am experiencing in my life right now: God has so many surprises and miracles up His sleeve, that I just leave it all up to Him and just keep trusting Him,knowing that He knows, what He is doing, and go, where He is directing me. 

He even played a song for me today, when I turned on the radio in the car, when I went to pick up the kids from the bus, that many many years back someone had left on my answering machine - brought a smile to my face. That's what I mean, when I say, God is involved in every moment of our lives and He at all times gives us what we need - and He's amazing at surprising me every moment of my life. God right now is giving me Butterflies everywhere, they are His special gift to me - they now are my trademark (I even have a Butterfly tattoo on my wrist - and the most important word of all times engraved there: GRACE) His Grace has truly set me free and given me wings to fly!!! Thank you Jesus!!!

I love you my friends, and I am so thankful for all of you - thank you for taking time out of your busy day to read my blog!!! I am praying for you always and I send you hugs and blessings tonight

your sister in Christ - forever praising Him for His Faithfulness

Love is the answer....

This is the absolute truth: Love is the answer to all our troubles!!! When we have LOVE, nothing is impossible - there is always a way to build bridges, even if the separation has been too deep, or too long.

When God gave the commandment: Love your neighbour as yourself - that's what He meant. When we have love for ourselves, we can love our neighbour more fully, more completely - and when we love our neighbour like ourselves, there is always a possibility to forgive, to build a bridge, where we can find common ground again.

This is what He wants us to embrace. When we have God being our best friend, the one we consult with regarding all things in our life, that is where He would always point us: Never let the sun go down and still be angry - anger will make you bitter and resentful with time. So deal with your anger, your frustration and all other negative feelings when they arise, and try to find common ground with your adversaries (your neighbours - figure of speech ;)) and love them and pray for them - pray for God to bless them - you are the one who's reaping the reward, if you do, just as you are also reaping the consequences, if you don't.

God wants to bless us all, but we need to do what it takes - love our neighbours as ourselves, love our neighbours as Christ loved us - to receive the blessings.

God bless you today and always

God IS Faithful.....

.....All the Time!!! Last night I watched a Movie, that moved me to tears, a Movie about second chances, a man and a woman both struggling with challenges of their own.....meeting by chance, but helping each other to see clearly, to feel alive again.....yet before they can start their future together, the man dies, leaving the woman grieving, but changed forever......embracing life!!! That's how it is with God - with God we get our second chance at life - Life more abundant at that. With God, we do not have to face sudden loss/death, but we gain eternal life with Him.

At the end of the movie, she sees the wild ponies, she always dreamt about seeing, they gallop right towards her - another way, God works in our life. He fulfils our biggest dreams - ever surprising us with His generosity and tender love - He knows our heart and He knows our deepest wishes......mind you, He placed them in our hearts, and it is His desire, to fulfil them.

Never ever give up believing, that He will come through for you as well. The enemy of our soul wants us to believe, that we'll never amount to anything, that our deepest wishes are just that: wishes, that will never be granted. Turn to God and believe His promises, that He will free you from bondage and that He'll heal your hurting heart.....He will never forsake you - and He longs for you to reach your full potential.

He who created you in your mother's womb gave you all the talent and gifts, to reach your full potential and fulfil your destiny.

Praising God for His Faithfulness - always

P.S.

Oh, I forgot to mention: He gave us the fairy tales, that our souls had something to long for and look forward to....:)

There is the promised 2nd. part from today's quiet time with God: He has shown me that He wants to heal me completely - that's not new.....but today he brought my attention to something that has been troubling me for a while...... - my son enjoys to tickle those around him, including me - yet I hate it so much......that makes him like it even more. I am struggling with how am I going to teach him to respect other people's spaces, I have turned to God, to show me, how He wants me to teach, discipline my children, His one advice was, to keep my calm with them, and let the Holy Spirit flow through me - yet in the moment that's tough, as it really bothers me - so here comes the astounding part: He showed me, why it did bother me so much......during my life there were times, when I was touched against my will (thankfully I have never been raped, but I have been molested), which actually made me put on quite some weight, as to hide myself, that men would not find me attractive - or where I was reprimanded for touching myself (even though just very innocently as a little girl) - this all resulted in a not so balanced way, how I feel about being touched today, even if it is just being tickled by my son - this being entirely innocent.

Today He promised me, that He would take away the hurt and shame that came with those childhood memories, that I will be made whole again, that I will not feel threatened this way ever again. Again there were tears, but as it is these days, the tears, that are shed, are always tears of relief and gratitude. I know, He will lovingly complete the work He has begun in me.....He's never going to quit, until He is through. Yeah, that's absolutely true. That is the character of God - He's not a quitter, never was and never will be. I am so glad, that He is my master, and that it is He, who holds my destiny safe in His Hands.

As I was reading today - I am doing a book/bible study with a dear friend of mine - we're reading the book: 'So long insecurity" by Beth Moore - I was deeply blessed and I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, God wants me to be set apart for Him, being a woman clothed in Dignity and Strength - given to me, by my Creator, who placed Eternity in our hearts, that we wouldn't settle for less than what only He can bestow onto us - Happily Ever after with our eternal bridegroom. What a destiny to receive, wow I am again thrilled to see, that He will do all that it takes, to set me free from all the bondage I am in. And He wants to do the same thing for you.

Trusting Him with all the refining and polishing and healing He is doing - 
gratefully yours, forever
