1 04/28/2012 In the Holy Spirit we are united. Grade 8 Boys are invited.

We (Sergei and me) were on the highway, on the way to pick up Joshua. Mr. Graham and Mrs. Caroline gather every two weeks, eighth-graders for socializing, games, snacks and Bible discussions. The situation on the road was hard and I began to pray. Soon I remembered the word - "do not be afraid." I remembered that someone has counted that the Lord says this to us in the Bible around 400 times. Even more than once a day for a year! That's an order. I thought it was from IsaiahIsa 43:1 ...Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. - It became easier. "I'm not afraid; I will obey thy commandments, Lord." It's the next word - 1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Joy filled me more and more.

In some places there are signs on the highway that crosses through the entire band as a bridge. And then I suddenly see the absurd, has never been seen before by me phenomenon - for on such a "gate" hang lifeless bodies of two roosters - black and red. My anxiety increased. Strange people, ventured to do it. Satanists are playing! On the way back we passed directly under the roosters, and I pointed it out to Sergei. At home, I typed in the Internet in Russian "hung rooster," once there was photo of the inscription, "a curse to death." I do not advise to repeat my experience of trying to find an explanation of this... The meeting ends. I was a bundle of nerves. "I'm not afraid, one who is in me - more than what is in the world. And what will be with my son? How to explain all this to him? How to pray for him? ... We were waiting for Joshua to come out. From the open window the voice of Mr. Graham came. I was sitting in the car, praying. "Jesus! Why cant I feel peace? How do I pray? I need Thy revelation and comfort. World is full of evil... Lord, let Joshua learn to always rely on you, trust you ..." Again, I remember the words - " And fear not..."- again. I understand. - And suddenly - them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Mat 10:28 . Hallelujah! Oh my God, I love you! Thank you! Peace and joy seized me. I got a wonderful experience of freedom. It became clear, how to pray/ to pray about the fear of God. God's peace restored, I am again in Christ in heaven (Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus) Joshua has appeared in high spirits, looking happy. I began to ask him what the Biblical teaching was.

2 "We were asked questions, and, you know, I was almost the only one who could answer them." "For example?" "Why is there so much evil in the world?" "Almost everyone said that because of the devil, and I said that we, in most cases provoke an evil. Mr. Graham agreed with the answer, and then said something like this - but not too much evil? And Joshua replied by saying that God does not allow more evil than we can bear. (1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. ) Mr. Graham endorsed the response, and that in the general assembly was completed. I briefly told Joshua about my experiences and revelations, and added that in my opinion, the conclusion for this will be: "do not fear those who kill the body." "Mooom, this is for 8th grade, take it easy!" Joshua grumbled. It looked like a serious argument, I did not argue, but was thanking the Lord. He knows the times and dates. Praise the Lord!
