My thoughts are, God is a loving God, and His love is UNCONDITIONAL AND NEVER CHANGING. But he is also a God who GIVES His Children REVELATION. And that revelation NEVER stops! He gave it in the Bible days, and he gives it today! There are many things that God would like to have you say to His people for Him! Remember the movie, “Oh God” with George Burns? George (God) made a billboard that said, “Think God” … Not Thank God, because we all do that from time to time, but THINK GOD. Think about Him. Think about what He would like said to His children. My newest book, Love, God will be words from God to all of His children. Yes, they will be written in the 1 st person directly FROM GOD! Well, of course He will go through His children, but on paper, they will be directly from HIM! HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING GOD MIGHT SAY: “Hello my children, I just want to say I love you and I am always here with you! Love, God.” You might ask, “How did you come up with that Title?” Well, I have been asking my husband, why does no one write things today from God like in the olden days? God still gives revelation, right? So there must be more words that He has said, and no one has wrote them down. His revelation NEVER stops….ALL of His people should have the chance to hear them. So, I am going to put them down on paper! NOW, HERE IS YOUR CHANCE FOR YOU TO GET INVOLVED! IF YOU HAVE A WORD YOU BELIEVE GOD WANTS TO SAY TO HIS PEOPLE, GET THEM TO ME AT: Dr.Faye.WBSU@gmail.com As you read the Bible, there are words from people, but then there are words from people who say, “Thus saith the Lord God Jehovah” And we take these words to be the words of God! The truth is, there were probably many, many more people that had words from God who just never wrote them down. I have taken this opportunity to give many people (an all-out shout out on social media) to share what they believe God is saying to His people. All positive, and none condemning. Now here is your chance too. I will not make any promises
that if you send something that is negative or condemning it will be in the book. More than likely, it won’t. Or if you send in too many entries, we will choose what we think is best and may not share all that you send. I hope this book will be one that will touch your heart. Remember, if you would like to share something in this book, send the words to me at: DrFaye.WBSU@gmail.com – Also Remember: Positive and full of love. Oh, yes…Also, they must be in 1st person FROM GOD…NOT from you!

By Dr. Bill Hanshew Revelation 4:1-2 (NKJV) says, “1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.” The question that many have pondered over the years is concerning whether or not there will be a rapture. So, does the Bible really teach that there will be a “rapture” where millions of people will suddenly disappear from this planet called earth and then reappear in some other place? And does the Bible really teach that there will be “people who are “left behind” just to “deal with it” on planet earth, until the judgement of God takes place? Well, there are many opinions about this subject, yet many misconceptions also exist today. People have made this one-doctrine more important to them, than Jesus Himself. However, when it comes to whether or not there will actually or literally be a “rapture,” many over the years have been misled about this word “rapture” as used in the A.D. 405 Latin Vulgate translation of scripture. WIKIPEDIA (The Free Encyclopedia) says this: “The denomination 405 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the
“Anno Domini” (A.D.) calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.” What we should notice is that this was the same type of “medieval period” similar to what you see in the movies on television. It was a very dark time and confusing time where government and religion collided, even while trying to flow together in the same kingdoms. The problem was that they continuously went about trying to undermine each other. Keep in mind that after the last Apostle died, it has been said that the church entered into a time known as the “dark ages.” However, the “dark ages” took place around 500–1500 A.D. and therefore, the word “rapture” was being made known during this same era. The word “rapture” comes from the Greek word, harpazō {sounds like, härdd–pö’d–zō} which is a derivative of the Greek word, haireō {sounds like, hī–ddre’–ō} meaning to seize (in various applications): —catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force). Actually, this does not sound as if it would be much fun at all; does it? Yet, the research articles available of this word “rapture” goes on and on and does not stop here when it comes to opinion and personal interpretation. The thing is this; that one person’s interpretation does not establish any eternal doctrine or truth. So, let’s understand John’s position here in terms of scriptural context, audience relevance, and the language of the first century. What John is NOT presenting is any type of “rapture” concept in Revelation 4:1-2 as some sort of “escape theology” or “method of leaving planet earth,” in which many people would find this idea as the only thing that provides any comfort or hope for mankind. Some have even said they have no hope in this life. Some have said that the “rapture” is the only hope they have. Well, what the Apostle John encounters in Revelation 4:1-2 is a heavenly vision by which the Greek language says that John “came to be” in the Spirit. Or in other words, John became fully aware of a supernatural realm which was above and beyond his soulish awareness of this natural realm that was all he was aware of at that time. Therefore, the scripture says, “And immediately I was in {“en” or came to be} the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.” So, what was the mindset in the first century concerning the Apostle John encountering this heavenly vision or unveiling in his understanding of Revelation 4:1-2? Revelation 4:1-2 (TPT) “1 Then suddenly, after I wrote down these messages, I saw a heavenly portal open before me, and the same trumpet-voice I heard speaking with me at the beginning broke the silence and said, “Ascend into this realm! I want to reveal to you what must happen after this.” 2 Instantly I was taken into the spirit realm and behold— I saw a heavenly throne set in place and someone seated upon it.” This could have been written to say, “Behold! I saw a door in the heavenly realm that had been opened.” This portal or passage “between” the realms of heaven and earth had
always stood open so that mankind could interact with their Creator in an unlimited manner. John did not simply watch these things happen through that open door, but he “came to be” through the open door having already been enabled because of his origin as a spirit-being. He came to be in the heavenly realm, which is also known as the spirit realm. The Greek word for “happen” or from the KJV “be” as in “must be hereafter” or “must happen after this” shows us in The Passion Translation the word, ginomai {sounds like gē’h–no–mī} and seems to be translated three times in Romans 7:3-4 as the word, “married.” John “came to be” {ginomai} within “Spirit” as a married couple would be comfortable in their union with each other. And it seems that four other times John uses this phrase in the book of Revelation and although some commentators believe John was in his human spirit or soulish mind, John actually went into a state of being overwhelmed by what was happening, just like many of us would. Some might even call this a “prophetic trance” but there is no doubt that he was shown things in the spirit realm which brought him a great unveiling of truth. In Revelation 4:2 he uses the word throne forty times showing us the place of God’s government over the entire universe, including mankind. The idea is that this “rapture” concept would provide a means of leaving the earth and going to where Jesus lives. However, the problem is that scripture makes it crystal clear about Jesus living inside of mankind and not on some other planet. So, is Jesus in the here and now with you? Do you find any hope in that concept? Besides, the idea of a “rapture” being introduced to us was mainly because of some misinterpretations back in the 1800’s which developed out of being pressed by the circumstances of life. Some of those misinterpretations even came out of 1 Thessalonians 4:17 because of not understanding the language of the first century, and the culture, history and audience of the Jewish community of that day. When we see a single reference in scripture which seemingly gives a hope of escape from the circumstances of life, instead trusting in the finished work of Jesus as being our solution to life’s circumstances, then it is easy to fall prey to such misguided concepts. …Think about it!
By: Dave Kachele You've heard about Jesus. You have met people who say that they are in a relationship with Him. You've heard claims about Him. During Christmas you learned that Christians believe that He was God with usEmmanuel. At Easter, it would have been hard to miss hearing that Jesus died on a cross for our sin and rose from the dead. You thought, "What an amazing story! What is sin anyway? I've never done anything really bad." You've heard all this, but you don't know that it's true. Why should it matter to you personally? These are just stories. But, if you slow down for a moment and think about your life, you know that something is missing. "What a strange feeling. I have a good life." You shrug off this thought, but it comes back. It haunts you like a song that you can't get out of your head. The desire to figure out what that missing something is drives you to talk to a God that you don't really know: "Is it You? Are You real? I've heard about You and that You love me." In your silence you "hear" internally. "Yes, I'm real and yes, I love you." You think, "What do I do with this?" Is that missing something being filled? "What is this?" Then, you talk to this Voice. "Is that You, God?"
Inside you "hear" a reply. "Yes, it's Me. I love you and I want you to know me as I know you." A dagger hits your heart. The reality of this conversation is wonderful and scary at the same time. There is an awareness that something is still wrong. That fact that you're a sinner is there, although you don't really know the term. You just know that there is an uncleanness that has to be dealt with. You're overcome, and in honesty and humility, you tell God about it. The Voice within speaks again. "Are you willing to let me turn your life around?" You don't really understand why, but you are joyfully compelled to quickly reply, "Oh yes God! Please take my life." Suddenly, you realize that your emptiness is filled. It was God that was missing, but now He's there, right in the center of your life! There's an understanding without much knowledge. You don't know doctrines. You don't know what's in the Bible. You're not sure what to do next. But you know that God is in you! Later you learn that God promised to be a Light for your path. But now you're experiencing it without the knowledge. God reminds you of someone that you know who is a Christian. You call and tell them what happened. They joyfully respond by saying that they've been praying for you. "Really! That's cool. Thank you!" You arrange to meet as soon as possible. You get together with your friend and share your joy face to face. You ask, "What happened to me?" "You've been born again!" You're puzzled by this declaration, yet somehow you know it's true. "Let me explain," Your friend continues, "from the Bible." Eagerly, you listen to verses from the Bible that make sense. Jesus talked about being born again. The verse that says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life," resonates with you. Your friend shows you other Bible verses. You understand that God loves you, but that your sin had separated you from Him. You see that Jesus really did take the punishment for your sin on the cross. You believe that He rose from the dead. You now know that what filled that missing thing inside of you was the Holy Spirit of God. He has filled your life! Your friend offers to lead you in a prayer and you eagerly consent. "Lord Jesus, thank you for coming into my life and filling my emptiness. I know that I'm a sinner, but I willingly turn from my sin. I want to live for You. Thank You." You begin to read the Bible and pray daily. You go to church with your friend. You're gaining understanding about the knowledge that you already have through your experience. You're on your way - God's way! Now you’re ready to help someone else On the Way.

by Pastor Jo Bruns We are all familiar with disappointments. For some, it’s the threat of losing a job or a child in trouble. For others, it’s the marriage that has ended in divorce or with the unexpected loss of a dear loved one. It could be that someone you love has made a decision that is not what you hoped for but is best for their family’s situation. The list is endless. Hannah, David, Job, Moses, and John the Baptist have much in common. Coping with disappointments and discouragement was a daily part of living. What was their response to their situations? Let’s take a look. “The Lord, himself, goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV)
Hannah, discouraged by her inability to bear a child, cried out to the Lord like a woman drunk on wine. Her tears of mourning and wailing were heard by the Lord. He heard her cries of desperation.
David, God’s beloved, suffered with bouts of depression. Many nights he couldn’t sleep nor could he eat. He describes his tears as his food. He had marital problems as well as problems with his children. He had enemies pursuing him. In anguish, he cries out to the Lord. “Hear, O Lord, the sound of my call.” And yet, he knows in his heart, that the Lord is his strength and shield. The Lord is his high tower where he can find shelter and safety from the storms. Job lost everything including his children. His friends try to encourage him; yet relief doesn’t come. Even his own wife says to curse God and be done with it. But one thing Job knows in the midst of his circumstances is that his redeemer lives. Moses, God’s chosen leader to deliver his people from captivity, is racked with self-doubt and lack of confidence. And, yet, Moses met with God on God’s holy mountain. John the Baptist, who called people to repentance in preparation of receiving Jesus as their Messiah, had moments of doubt. In his jail cell, he called for his followers to go to Jesus and ask whether he was the One or should he look for another. This was after he had heard God speak, “This is my beloved Son. In him I am well pleased.” Jesus told John’s disciples to look at the miracles, signs and wonders. There is much we can learn from these biographical sketches. We often experience similar experiences and feelings in our own lives. Doubts arise. Depression plagues us. Discouragement harasses us. Yet, when we turn to the Lord and cry out to him, He hears us and He answers. It’s comforting to know that Jesus is aware of the things we are dealing with and will never leave us alone. Even Jesus wept when his friend, Lazarus, died. Do you have a need? He has your answer. His Holy Spirit, the Comforter, will wipe away your tears and give you rest and strength. He reminds us that “in our darkest hour there’s a ray of sunlight streaming down from a God of love…” After all, He is the Light of the Word. Will you let him be the light in your world?
By Pastor Jo Bruns I'll be honest, I've never thought I was called to the "mission field" in the traditional sense of the word. Sharing the message of hope to the world –yes. Traveling to other parts of the world –no. And, yet, I've always believed that every Christian has been assigned to the Great Commission given by Christ himself, "Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations…" (Matthew 28:19 NIV) To this day, I can still remember the conversation I had with Pastor/Missionary George Oates, who had traveled all the way to our church from Scotland, not once but twice in April and again in May, 1995. "How can I go into all the world? I'm just a wife and mother, working a full-time job and barely making ends meet." He responded, "Start
where you are. That's your mission field." And, so, my journey began, as described in Acts 1:8: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." When one breaks down the Acts 1:8 scripture, Jerusalem is home—your family; Judea is your neighborhood and community. It can be your workplace. It's where you live. Samaria is that place, or that people group, where you might not "choose" but where God has entrusted you to go to share His message of hope. And, then there's the "ends of the earth" –the world. Have I been to all of these places? Have you? For me, the answer has been yes to all of them through the written word, but only the first three, physically, until recently. When my St. Louis, Missouri, church, The Loft, led by Pastors Scott and Lisa Davidson, mentioned that we were embarking on our first missions trip to Malawi in January, 2019, to assist the ministry of When the Saints, I heard the emphatic "Yes, you're going" in my spirit. I'd heard David Peterka, the founder of When the Saints ministry, twice before on his visits to The Loft in May of 2017 and 2018; my heart was greatly touched by the impact he and his wife, Essy, have been making there to facilitate healing of the brokenness in young girls' hearts who've been sexually exploited and abused, as well as, in reaching the men in order to break the cycle. As David Peterka once said, "To remove these girls and to help restore them without breaking the cycle of sexual exploitation and abuse in men, would only lead to more girls being harmed by the sex trade industry." When the Saints ministry has established a safe home for girls in the country of Malawi. This facility, the first of its kind, provides for the care of girls aged 5-15. These girls, who are referred through the Malawian police departments and courts, are offered educational, vocational, emotional, nutritional, and psychological care, as well as, spiritual care after having experienced sexual exploitation. The first safe home opened in December, 2015. They now have an additional dorm completed and are working on completing a second dorm. Their goal is to build six dorms so that they can serve up to 72 girls and won't have to turn away the 5-6 girls that they do now who are seeking help because of the lack of housing. They are also endeavoring to be selfsustainable and to have this "safe home" be for and run by Malawians. The team that went this time included myself along with three others –Scott Sonntag, our Missions Team Leader, Stacy Burch, and Jessica Garcia. During our visit we had opportunities to love on these girls, who seem to be so resilient in the face of what has happened to them. There were several little girls around the age of five, some girls in between, and some older girls, who were pregnant or had a baby as a result of their abuse. And, to be honest, I'm not sure who shared joy with whom! I can still hear the songs they sang in the Chechewa language in my mind. And these girls surely have a love for its founder, "Uncle David." They also did their best to tutor us in the Chechewa language.
While we were there in Malawi, we had the opportunity to visit several villages where we shared the Gospel message, prayed for people, and, on one occasion, shared the movie, "The Passion of the Christ." We also visited and ministered, through interpreters, at several churches in the area. My most memorable time, though, was on our second follow-up visit with one of the graduates of the program. After an hour and a half drive on a rather bumpy dirt road up into the mountains, we reached a small village where this young girl lived with her mother and siblings. There were very few believers within this village; and most practiced or believed in witchcraft and didn't really know Jesus or the gospel message. While we were there, this young girl and her mom, asked us to pray for her grandmother who was dying. When we arrived at her grandmother's house, she was lying on a mat with a wool blanket over her and flies all around. She could barely get up or move. After some time –praying for her, telling her who Jesus was, and how He wanted to heal her, she accepted Christ. By this time, there were others who wanted to know Jesus, and some asked us to bless their homes. Later, before we left, one of the counselors who was with us, actually saw this grandmother up and walking and was so amazed by it. Even a week later, this grandmother, who everyone thought was dying, was working in the fields the following week! Faith surely makes such a difference in the life of a believer. I can still hear the words of Jesus resonating in my spirit, "Woman, your faith has made you whole." There's so much more I could share about our mission's trip to Malawi. So many memories. And, having been there, I now want to return to Malawi more than ever. And, I'm already "saving my pennies" for it to happen. That "missions' jar" I'd often filled as my sons were growing up to send others, now is the one being filled as I say to God, "Here I am, send me." Where is your mission field? Ask the Lord to show you who you are being called to serve. It might just be your family. It might mean those kids or young adults in Sunday School or youth group. It might be offering assistance to young mothers who need guidance in raising little ones. It might be loving on seniors in a nursing home. Whatever it might be, "start where you are." Welcome to the MISSION FIELD. Adventure awaits!

SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT YOUR PET RABBIT
Greetings and hugs from the writer Mr. Dewanshu Ahlawat. How are you all doing? In this month, we are going to take an interesting topic on pet Rabbit. Read till the end and I am sure you will be interested to know more about this cute and innocent creature. I own a very cute rabbit and I will be answering here all queries regarding rabbits. So, let’s get started. Q1. What is average life span of a rabbit? Ans. The average life span of rabbit varies from 8 to 10 years if they are provided with good food and kept away from predators. However, it also depends on their state of mind. If they are stressed, they may live up to 5 or 6 years. Q2. Please throw some light on the diet of rabbit? Ans. Rabbits eat vegetables and fruits. Please don’t give them spinach and tomatoes because both of these can cause loose motions in the pet. Feed the rabbit two times a day. You may opt for the readymade food available in the pet shop if you wish to, but that’s not necessary. Most of the rabbits love eating corn and cucumbers.
Q3. How many hours does a Rabbit sleep in night? Ans. Rabbits usually sleep 8.5 hours a day. A very interesting thing about a sleeping rabbit is that it sleeps with his eyes open. If they are in calm state of mind, they sleep up to 8.5 hours or else they will be sleeping less number of hours. Q4. Do rabbits love humans? Ans. Rabbits are social animals. They do love humans and enjoy spending time with us. If humans do not interact with rabbits, then rabbits get bored. Q5. Do rabbits eat their own droppings? Ans. Yes, they do. Let me explain. Rabbits have two types of droppings – dry round ones and small soft ones that looks like bunch of grapes. The rabbits eat these second ones. It has unabsorbed nutrients and bacteria which is important to keep the digestion of a rabbit healthy. Q6. Do rabbits see in pitch dark? Ans. Yes, the rabbits can see in the dark. But this does not mean that they enjoy being in the dark. Rabbit’s eyesight is best in low light conditions. We can say that rabbits prefer a dim environment. Q7. Do rabbits know their owner’s voice? Ans. Yes, they do. Rabbits can easily recognize their owners. They identify a person by his shape, his smell and his voice. Q8. Do rabbits smell? Ans. Rabbits are very clean animals. They self-groom themselves. Only a rabbit’s urine if not cleaned instantly stinks. Even the solid waste of a rabbit does not stink. It is advisable to clean the urine of a rabbit if it falls on floor at the earliest since the urine is acidic and it may leave yellow colored spots on the floor. Q9. Kindly share some interesting facts about rabbits? Ans. Surely, I will. Please read the followings: • A male rabbit is called as Buck. • A female rabbit is called as Doe. • A young rabbit is called as Kit or Kitten. • More than half of the rabbit’s population lives in North America. • Rabbits are herbivores (plant eaters). • Rabbits live in groups. • Rabbits reproduce very quickly. • Rabbits are born with their eyes closed and without fur. • Rabbits have long ears which can be as long as 10 centimetres. • Group of rabbits is called a Colony. • Group of rabbits living together is called a Herd.
Q10. How much does a rabbit cost and how much rabbit’s cage costs? Ans. I can reply this with respect to India. A pair of bunnies in India costs around INR 1000/-. A good cage for a rabbit costs around INR 3500/. One very important factor that come while you purchase a rabbit’s cage is don’t go for a smaller sized cage. Please go for a cage that is large enough for a rabbit to move around. I would like to thank the respected Editor of the magazine” Faith Unlimited” for giving me this wonderful platform to share my views. Keep reading this magazine and growing in spiritual faith and worldly knowledge. Congratulations to the Editor Mrs Faye G Hanshew for her successful completion of her Doctorate degree. This is Dewanshu Ahlawat, Post Graduate with 27 other certifications signing off.
