(Photos) The Lord is Good and Does Good - Part 2

The Lord is good and does good.  We are fully persuaded to expect His goodness because of His great love for us.  He isn't ashamed or hesitant to let us know it.  We ought to believe in who He is; how much He cares for us and loves us.  May we grow in the knowledge of His great goodness towards us.  Below are more testimonies about God revealing His goodness and how much He cares about you and I.  We know that He is yearning for us to know Him as He truly is (Jeremiah 9:23-24, Philippians 3:8).

 

Tiffany celebrated her birthday on Oct. 9, and Berasia celebrated her 2nd Birthday on Oct. 10.

I ordered an expensive real cream covered cake for my love's birthday.  The bakery didn't have cream that day, so instead of calling me (as I had requested), they covered and filled the cake with meringue frosting which my wife can't stand.  Why Jesus???!!!!  The Lord answered me, and used the opportunity to give me a "birthday" word for my wife concerning unexpected spiritual blessings.  Afterwards, 3 more unexpected things happened for my wife's birthday.  She even received a homemade card that was accidentally written on backwards although the person had tried to redo the card twice before!  It was just another testimony of things coming in a different way than expected!  God is wise and works all things together for our good!  My wife told everyone that this was one of the most special birthdays she's had in a long time!

 

Isaiah playing his new electric guitar

After hearing how much Isaiah loves playing the guitar, a missionary friend wrote to a guitar company she is acquainted with and they gladly donated a new electric guitar and small amp.  Now Isaiah has his own electric guitar!  He didn't think he would get one any time soon because of how much they cost.  The Lord is good!

 

Grandma with grandchildren

Grandma, Tyren's mom, arrived just in time to celebrate the birthdays, as well as Amerel's and Isaiah's which are in November.

 

As the Lord is showing us Himself, we are growing in the fear of His goodness.  He desires to be good to us, and to people around us.  Pray that the Lord would show us the favor of His face, that we may carry His heart.  Pray that my wife and I contend for His goodness toward our neighbor- extending love, salvation, healing, liberty and all that Christ yearns for the people He loves (John 3:16).

In the goodness of His love,  Tyren and Tiffany

The Lord is Good and Does Good

There is no hiding it.  We are in love.  We are desperate to know what it's like to know the Lord and depend utterly upon Him.  For us, life is about the great love God has for us.  It's not about "overcoming"; we are already overcomers (Romans 8:37)!  Life can't be about situations we encounter because our life is about the person-the Son of God, Jesus Christ.  We have a freedom to know Him intimately, even in difficulties.  We can expect Him to do good, working out all things for His pleasure and according to His will. 

We were confident that it was the Lord's will for us to go to Malawi to renew/amend passports, and get work done on our car (yes, more car problems).  We needed lots of funds so it didn't seem like the right time; but we understand that one must be driven by the will of God and not situations or lack of resources.  When we got to Malawi, the Lord provided via a couple hundred dollars in discounts off on our car work-without us even asking for them!  Then, we surprisingly received funds at just the right time from people who just wanted to bless us.  We also got a good deal on a local drum that we wanted to buy for a friend's village ministry.

Driving through one area, I was stopped at one of the many police stops, asked to go to the back of my vehicle, and was requested to "give something" to 3 policemen so they'd let me through the barricade.  The Lord gave me a prophetic word that released the fear of the Lord within their hearts.  They stopped their schemes.  One received prayer and I ended up giving him a Bible.  Because of the encounter at this police barricade, I was later able to minister to the Police Commander of the area.  Though at first the situation didn't look good, I know I was stopped just because Jesus wanted to shine. 

The Lord did many, many other things during this trip.  Through everything, He convinced us even the more, to know His heart and believe in how good He is toward His kids.  Life is about the Lord and His goodness towards us.  Life isn't about, nor dependent upon, the circumstances that come upon us.  We ought to fear the Lord and His goodness! 

Please pray for us.  We want to go beyond limits, live on the edge, and watch God do the unimaginable as we put our trust in Him!  There is no fear in love...we can do anything He wants us to do.  We must prepare hearts for His presence, and draw people to fall in love with Jesus-first love!  That's what we've been called to do.  Will you join us?  Will you pray and believe with us?  Come and visit us!  Together, we can bring salvation and a revival of love to the streets, stores, villages and to nations.

Love, Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
