ENTHEOS: Have You Lost the Wonder of It All?

Have You Lost the Wonder of It All?

I am so thankful for the week I could spend at Word of Life Headquarters! I had three goals for that last full week here in the United States: REST, REFRESH, REFOCUS. God has blessed me with wonderful accommodations, great food (and lots of good food :-)), amazing Bible teachers, and many old and new friends. Let me challenge you with one of the messages that has been on my mind since the first night.

The big question is: HAVE YOU LOST THE WONDER OF IT ALL?
1. Have you lost the wonder of the joy of Salvation?
2. Have you lost the wonder of the joy of Scripture?
3. Have you lost the wonder of the joy of Service?
4. Have you lost the wonder of the joy of Satisfaction?

Since my topic for the year is JOY this message really hit home. Please pray that nothing would rob me from the joy that is found in living LIFE with Jesus. I want to keep being amazed by His salvation, His Word, the privilege of serving Him, and to remain content in Him. Thank you!

A HUGE praise to close with: as you probably have seen it, I've been blessed by my very first supporting church!!! What an answer to prayers! Also, a lady at WOL in Schroon Lake committed to support me with monthly $25. Praise God with me for these two miracles. And keep praying with me for 8 more to reach my goal! :-) Thank you.

Here is the prayer list for a reminder: I am in need of $450 per month to be at full support. This has been my specific prayer: that the Lord would provide at least 10 financial supporters who would join my team and commit to give monthly -

1 person/church with $100

5 people/churches with $50

4 people with $25

About the title

The Greek word entheos, means "having God within", formed from en, "in, within," and theos, "God". The Almighty God lives in us through His Holy Spirit (John 14:17). Entheos is the root of the English word "enthusiasm". I believe from my whole heart that God is boundlessly enthusiastic. My favourite author, A.W. Tozer says, that "God takes pleasure in Himself and rejoices in His own perfection”. He is also delighted with His whole creation, and yes, He is especially delighted with people made in His image.

I want God to be my Passion. I want to be a joyful Christian who finds her total satisfaction in Him alone. Nothing and no one else is necessary to my happiness. He is the One I live for. Getting to know Him day by day gives me thousands of reasons to be enthusiastic about. And my greatest desire is to please Him as I’m rejoicing in the One who lives in me. Do they see Jesus in me???

About the blog

This blog is an attempt to keep you informed about “my adventures” in the USA. The reason I’m going to America is the same as in the previous years - to bring glory to God! He is the One Who made all this possible and I want to bring Him to every person I’ll meet. I’ll consider this trip successful if they will all see Jesus in me! I know, you don’t need to go all the way to the other end of the world to be a witness for the Lord. :) My secondary reasons for this trip are to do a Biblical Counseling course at Faith Bible Seminary (Lafayette, IN) and to raise support for our ministry at Word of Life Hungary (www.eletszava.org). I can't wait to see how the Lord will bless me once again. You can join me in watching as God miraculously puts together all the details of this tour. May it all be done for His glory!
