Whose watching your backdoor?

Just had to add this new blog quickly to back up the previous blog ‘Safety and Security’ as an up to date testimony of an example of the power in the Blood of Jesus. A very dear friend with a young family having studied with Joy for Life several years ago had learnt the daily practice of claiming the protection of the Blood of Jesus. She went away for the long weekend and again prayed for God’s protection while the house was unoccupied.

On returning home they did not notice there was anything out of place, but a couple of days later when attempting to access their home through the back door from the outside realised that someone had tried hard to force their way into the house but had been unable to open the door!

The whole family had been able to have a good laugh and had shared a very big thanks and praise to the Living God who had actively protected their home when they were not there but when they had put their faith in the Blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

Safety and Security!



Well I am so thrilled that I have something very special to share this time which is something for all of us to apply to our daily lives. In this day there are so many problems and dangers in our lives which can cause us to feel fearful, but our wonderful Father doesn’t want us to have any form of anxiety, Philippians 4:7. 

Well last week after shopping at the supermarket, we went home, packed away the shopping and sat down for a quiet coffee prior to going to the gym. ‘Where is my handbag? Oh I know I will have left it in the car!’ I stated. About two hours later on the way to the gym I looked round the car, no handbag!! 

David was determined that we would find it before going to the gym as he knew I would go over and over my morning activities which involved my handbag! After all my bag contains my ‘life’ - well, my phone on which there are all my contacts, my Bible, daily readings; then there is my purse with my cards and driving licence; free bus pass and library tickets!! No wonder men are starting to carry bags, how else could they have their valuables with them? So we drove back to the supermarket, me praying in the Spirit, feeling sick in my stomach and my mind going hundreds of miles per hour working out what to do with the problems that were going to result with the loss of my bag!
