Spiritual Sunday - Paga!


Paga in Hebrew means to encounter or meet or entreat and make intercession. A few years ago, I attended a class on prayer using Dutch Sheets’ book, Intercessory Prayer. Another name for intercessory prayer time is called a “she bear meeting”. You don’t get between a bear and her cubs. There will be an ugly meeting. This is called “Paga!”

This video reminded me of that study. It is the story of a stray bear cub who encounters a cougar and is in perilous danger. There is a surprise ending that reflects the meaning of Paga!

  1. Hi there Smiley,
    What a great little clip! Funny how the cat reminded me of Satan trying to devour the little cub and then help arrived just in time! Praise God, it's just like that for us too! Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful and restful Sunday.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  3. I was totally screaming at this video for the safety of that cub and when Momma showed up and laid the law down -- I WAS GIVING GOD SHOUTS OF PRAISE!!

    We know the devil is a like a lion prowling around seeking whom he can devour but THANKS BE TO GOD THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS ON THE SCENE -- BACKING THAT DEVIL UP AND RUNNING HIM OFF!!! GLORY TO GOD!!!

    Isaiah says it best -- "He is our rear guard"!

    This little 3 minute video has gotten me into a big SHOUT THIS AFTERNOON! This is a keeper. I'm going to share it woth others.

    Love you.

  8. I've seen this video before. When I first viewed it, I was afraid to watch the end but was so glad it ended as it did. BTW, I've read that Dutch Sheets book too. It was very good, Mary.

  15. I wonder if anyone can truly comprehend the power and privilege of prayer? Perhaps one day, when the Lord returns, and we see more completely His work & ways, we'll be blown away by those things that continue to be so mysterious to us today.

    Thank you for sharing these thoughts and the video. I won't soon forget the analogy.

    Be blessed!

  16. I saw this years ago and cried for the little cub when hurt (I know silly) but this time I cried when the mama was in the background standing in defense! LisaShaw said it best and took the words right out of my mouth. I thought of those two scriptures exacting while watching! Thanks for sharing it! Hope your day is blessed! Dutch Sheets is a favorite of mine too!

  17. Hi Mary,
    This video clip brought tears to my eyes when the mama bear rushed to her little one's defense and the happy baby was back in his Mama's arms. God is ever watching over us and for that I am so very grateful.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Blessings,
    Jean

Because He Lives, I Can Move

I’m currently in one of those places where you lay out all the options and then you make the best decision. It seems, however, like none of the choices are fair or attractive. I know God will help me in my situation because I desire His guidance. I’m clinging to His Word which promises that ALL things work together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. I heard a great teaching this week about seeking God’s will and all the freedom that surrender brings. We can know that God is bringing about a victory if we trust Him with each and every decision. The speaker illustrated his point with a famous painting. The painting depicts a look of despair on the chess player’s face. He’s playing Satan and his soul is at stake. It looks like Satan is winning. Checkmate! When Paul Morphy saw this painting back in the 1800’s, he set up a chess board and aligned the pieces to reflect the painting. Being a world champion, he studied the board. His conclusi

Humor for the Bride and Groom

A young couple decided to wed.  As the big day approached, they grew apprehensive.  Each had a problem they had never before shared with anyone, not even each other. The Groom-to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father for advice.   "Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my marriage."  His father replied, "Don't you love this girl?"   "Oh yes, very much," he said," but you see, I have very smelly feet, and I'm afraid that my fiancĂ© will be put off by them."  "No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and always wear socks, even to bed."   Well, to him this seemed a workable solution. The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom."  Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is truly awful."  "Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has

A Veteran's Story

  I noticed Bill sitting in our local park where I walk.   He glanced my way just as I finished the last exercise walk song on my playlist.   He shouted and pointed to my car:   “Hey, is that your car with the Nam front license plate?   I stepped closer into the veranda where Bill sat on a picnic bench.   I noticed his Vietnam Vet cap and instantly I knew why I walked there that day.   The Marine Vet served during the 1960’s, the same time span as my husband.   Bill talked a lot about the war evoking my emotions from laughter to tears.   My South Vietnam front plate often prompts a conversation with a stranger and I’ve learned a deep respect for it over the years.   It is my way of listening to a veteran.   I enjoyed listening to Bill.   He made me laugh in spots but he made me cry as well.   Like when he talked about the sandwich lady.   “Do you ever eat at the sandwich shop in the gas station down the street?”   I replied that I’ve order coffee once in that place with a turke
