Joke for you

A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, looking at the old pages as he turned them. Then something fell out, and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between the pages."Momma, look what I found," the boy called out."What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.With astonishment in the his voice, he answered, "It's Adam's Suit!" The Red Wagon It was the day after Christmas at a church in San Francisco. The pastor of the church was looking over the naivety when he noticed the baby Jesus was missing from among the figures. Immediately he turned and went outside where he saw a little boy with a red wagon and in the wagon was the figure of the infant of Jesus. So he walked up the the little boy and said, "Well, where'd you get Him, my fine friend? The little boy replied , "I got him from the church." "And why did you take him?" The little boy replied, "Well about a week before Christmas I prayed to the little Lord Jesus and I told him if he would bring me a red wagon for Christmas I would give him a ride around the block in it." Author is Unknown God, Are You Listening? A man was walking through a forest pondering life. He walked, pondered, walked, and pondered. He felt very close to nature and even close to God. He felt so close to God that he felt if he spoke God would listen. So he asked, "God, are you listening?" And God replied, "Yes my son, I am here." The man stopped and pondered some more. He looked towards the sky and said, "God, what is a million years to you?" God replied, "Well my son, a second to me is like a million years to you." So the man continued to walk and to ponder... walk and ponder... Then he looked to the sky again and said, "God, what is a million dollars to you?" And God replied, "My son, my son...a penny to me is like a million dollars to you. It means almost nothing to me. It does not even have a value it is so little." The man looked down, pondered a bit and then looked up to the sky and said, "God, can I have a million dollars?" And God replied, "In a second."

Over the protests of one vocal male member a woman was hired as the new senior pastor. After the new pastor had been there a few weeks, a member of the congregation offered to take the new pastor fishing. The vocal objector reluctantly agreed to allow them to use his boat and to go along. The trio got into the boat and motored out on the lake. When they got ready to fish, they realized that all their tackle had been left on the dock. One of the men commented that they would just have to go back and get it. The new pastor said that wouldn't be necessary, and she got out of the boat and started walking across the water toward the dock. The old grouch said, "See I told you we never should have brought her fishing. She can't even swim!"

e-mail from God

One day God was looking down at earth and saw all of the misbehaving that was going on. So he called one of his angels to go to Earth for a time. When he returned, the angel told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not." God thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down another angel to get a second opinion" So God called another angel and sent him to Earth for a time too. When the angel returned he went to God and said, "Yes, it's true. The Earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good." God was not pleased. So he decided to e-mail the 5% who were good, because he wanted to encourage them, give them a little something to help them keep going. Do you know what the e-mail said? No? Okay, just checking with you. I didn't get one either....

Breaking Generational Curses

What causes generational curses? There are several reason why. Ninety percent are related to some type of sin. About ten percent is somebody has put an actual curse. A women period is a curse, because of Eve's sin. Several verses in the bible talks about curses. Num. 22:6 Curse this people for me Malachi 3:9 You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation, Even this whole nation. Malachi 2:2 If you will not hear, And if you will not take it to heart, To give glory to my name, Says the Lord of hosts, I will send a curse upon you. And I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already Because you do not take it to heart. Malachi 3:9 You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation, Even this whole nation. If you seek demons or as Star Wars says "the dark side" they will mess with your mind & curse you. And have mental illness, follow you around & mess up your life. You can image things because the demon has placed that idea in your head. That somebody did something to you & they didn't. Put thoughts of rage/anger. Look what happen to King Saul. History has many people who has the anti-Christ in them - Hitler, & serval modern crazy people. We call them terrorist today. Now the generational curses is passed by demons from one generation to another generation up to ten generation. Or if you break the curse in your line. Exodus 20:5-6 5) you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the inuity of the fathers on the children to the third & fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6) but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me & keep My commandments. People who died on a tree (cross) was cursed. Jesus died on a tree (cross) for remission of our sins. Break the ties between the curse & you & your children & your grand children & your great-grand children. Now we go to breaking the generational curses Study Psalm chapter 64 and 109!! **Pray the solution not the problem. If you don't know who caused or what caused the curse or curses God knows who did, ask Him. Even ask Him if you may have even caused it or made it worse; ask for forgiveness for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory. Do not judge the one if, God shows you who or what. Do not dwell on the problem, look in the bible for answers. Take authority. Ask God to forgive the person who caused it. Use the Word of God, Use the blood of Jesus, stand on the promises that God has given us.In other words don't keep saying, oh.. I'm under a curse, oh.. I'm gonna get sick & die. ect.. ect.. And the solution would be the promises of God; satan is under our feet, Jesus put Him there when Jesus died on that cross and went into hell and took back what Adam had given satan. Stand on the Blood of Jesus, rebuke the demon/devil just like our Big Brother Jesus did. When the demon tries to come back just ask Jesus to answer the door for you. That your not home for it. **Binding the evil demons/spirits. Loosening God's angles/Holy Spirit. Binding is when you have taken the authority over the curse/demon.And Loosening God angles/Holy Spirit is what it says you have loosen them to help you. Matthew 16:19 "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, & whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, & what ever you loose on earth will be loose in heaven. **Pray a hedge of protection over & around your family. Pray God's promises over you and your family. Pray & stand on the blood of Jesus. Just as a earthly father would protect their children, that is what God does with His children. He protects them, He protects us. Jeremiah 51:20 "You are My battle-ax & weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; with you I will destroy kingdoms; 2 Timothy 4:18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work & preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. **Luke 6:28"bless those who curse you, & pray for those who spitefully use you. **Fasting!! Matthew 17:21 "However, this kind does not go out except by prayer & fasting. You will be fighting in the spiritual realm/world; not the phyical world. Remember the curse is past down from generation to generations and demons are the one who keeps it going. The Holy Spirit teaches believers & will instruct us on spiritual things. Read below Ephesians 6:12 **Be strengthen & anointed of God & ready to stand. Know the Word of God & believe & stand on the Word. Be ready to fight as the Holy Spirit will instruct you how to stand up to that demon. The Holy Spirit will strengthen you. This is where you put on the armor of God. When you go to war you will want something to stop the arrows of the devil. Luke 10:19-20 19) "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents & scorpions, & over all the power of the enemy, & nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20) Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are suject of you, but rather rejoice because your name is written in heaven." **Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6-9 **Plead the blood of the Lamb of God. Plead is praying of the new covenant of Jesus Blood with out spot & blemishes. Matthew 26:28 "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Hebrews 9:20 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you." 1 Peter 1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish & without spot. 1 John 1:7B the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. Romans 3:25 Whom God set forth to be a propiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, **Ask Jesus to remove it. Having Jesus at the throne of God, at His right hand interceding for us. **Stand on the promises of God! Having faith to stand on God's promises. Knowing that it is already done, by what Jesus actually did for us forgiveness of sins, sending the Holy Spirit. Jesus has already conquer it for us. **Stand with another family member. Your stronger then just one person & the bible says it will be done for us. Matthew 18:19 Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. **Give thanks & praise to God for setting you free of this bondage/curse. Thanking God for defeating satan. Thanking for the curse stopping & not to go on. That you are the last & that it's done now. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, & have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. Jude vs. 9 & 10 9) Yet Michael the archangel in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke you!10) But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; & whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is a rewarder of those who dilgently seek Him. Hebrews 9:22 And according to the law almost all things are purged with blood, & without shedding of blood there is no remission. Romans 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. Revelation 1:5B To Him who loved us & washed us from ours sins in His own blood. John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace & truth came through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been made near by the blood of Christ. Colossians 1:20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. Ephesians 6:12 & 13 12) For we do not wrestle against flesh & blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.13) Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, & having put on the prest plate of righteousness. Colossians 2:10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of ALL principality & power. Read the whole chapter of Colossians 2 We have the power of God in us. So, yours and my family curses stops now!!! We ask this by the blood of Jesus Christ whom redeem us!! In Christ Name AMEN (so be it)

FIRE OF GOD!

1 King 18:24 Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord; and the God who answerw by fire, He is God. So all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. Psalm 39:3 My heart was hot within me; While I was musing, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue, (meditating) Job 32:18 For I am full of words; The spirit within me compels me. (Read to the end of the chapter at home). Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mighter than I, Who sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. If God does it for others he will do it for you. Believing the Whole Bible in the simple terms as God meant It to be. 2 Samuel 22:33 God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect. Acts 4:33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Acts 1:8A But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. Learning the truth about the divine power of God, healing, deliverance, freedom from your boundage of sin/sins and getting ourself out of God's way so, he can move in our lives. Knowing and believing that God will answer - Which is called FAITH! Believe in God, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Do not be ashamed of Them. Seek God's love, & the power of God, His FIRE! Like the Apostle had. Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord, I do not change. 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord. are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord Hebrews 13:5 For He Himself has said "I will never leave you nor forsake you" Deuteronomy 31:6B He will never leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5B I will be with you I will never leave you nor forsake you. God never changes; His Word is for today. His Word is our safety, our strength, our being. He never leaves us. He's always there and we need more of Him. To be on fire of the Lord and the Holy Spirit just like the Apostles had. God's Will is in the Bible. What was for his Apostles is for us. Having and needing a REAL divine hunger, something our soul is seeking and needing. If you have God's Will (Bible) The answer will come! God will answer. Seek Him like you never had before. Finding that divine hunger, praying for the divine hunger. It's there. Seek it. Want it, hunger for it. Praise God it will come. Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said " I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name" But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones: I was weary of holding it back, And I could not. Get yourself out of your own way and let God do his good works. And Do it God's way. Get on Fire for God!! Get on Fire for God is not the God of the dead, but for the living. God hears our prayer! He hears our prayers. Glory be to God! He answer our prayer once we get out of His way. God is saying to the Christan let him pray, God will meet the soul every time you turn to Him, He will meet you face to face. When we pray to God believe, have faith and get your healing, your answer, your loved ones saved, delievance from sin. God is stronger then satan, Jesus when he died he made sure of that! Praise God. He went to Hell for three days and took back what Adam gave up for us. We can have what the Apostles had. 1 Corinthians 2:10-16 (pg 1668) 10) But, God has revealed them to us through His Spjirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11) For what man knows the things of a man except the Spirit of man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God 12) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God Read (13-16) For Who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ. If you have to get on your knees, or flat before the Lord, Do It! Cry out to him! Pray through until you get the answer. When your desires of your heart goes out to God, THAT ALL THE SPIRITUAL ENERGY & the power of God comes to you & you begin to concentrate and forms an unconscious creative action of Faith, you and God are working together. That is the creative action of Faith. Be diligent before God. Be in prayer & supplication. Humble yourselves to God. Get out of God's way. He will be your God, your savior, your healer, your deliver. Once you get out of His way for your life. Let Him live in your Life. As Christ liveth in me and you! Which is our Revelation of the age. AMEN (so be it)

Adoption Authority

Have you ever the read the Bible, as you would a noval? A true noval where the Word itself is living? It's the living word of God. It is actually a hand book or instruction book on how our lives should run. It's perfect. Adam did give our world away to satan but, you can never forget that Jesus Christ (the second Adam took it back) Jesus went into Hell and took it back. We have the same rights as our Big Brother Jesus does, the same as he gave to the apostle. We have that! We have the authory & the right to use Jesus name. Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father. Romans 9:4 who are Isrealites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the coventants, the giving of the law, the service of God, & the promises Galatian 4:5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Ephesians 1:5 Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself according to the good pleasure of His will. We are adopted, we have our legal papers; the Bible. And by law being adopted is more, because you are chosen by the parents. And God chose you & me. So our legal rights come through the Word of God, the Bible & the Holy Spirit. I have an adopted child & his rights stands up in court as your birth child does!! He has just the same rights to anything that is mine as the children I gave birth to. See the Love of God. I have just as much feeling for him as I do my girls. God has just as much love for us as He did Jesus. Since we are adopted we have authority. As I said earlier Jesus Christ is our Big Brother, He had power & authority & He gave that to us, and now we have the same power and authority as Jesus had on earth. We need to use that power and authority. Take back what Jesus Christ gave us. God never changes Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, & forever. Luke 9:1&2 1)Then He called His twelve disciples together & gave them power and authority over ALL demons, & to cure diseases. 2)He sent them to preach the kingdom of God & to heal the sick. Luke 22:25 (red lettering) And He said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called BENEFACTORS. Mark 13:34 It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house & gave authority to his servants, & to each his work, & commanded the doorkeeper to watch. Jesus left his authority to us. We are His servants. I know a lot of people don't like the word servants or to be one. But, wouldn't you rather be a servant of the light of Lord Jesus Christ then the servant of the power of darkness. To have the authority over satan & ALL demons. And to heal the sick??? I don't want to be defeated. I want victory And to stand on the promises we have from God to do Healing & the Authority over satan!! What about you?? Don't you want the authority? To use our Big Brothers name Jesus Christ. And there isn't anything wrong with Name dropping. Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Mark 9:39 & 41 39)But Jesus said, Do not forbid him, for no one who works miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 41)For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward. Luke 24:47 and that repentance & remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, begining at Jerausalem. John 20:31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, & that believing you may have life in His name. To use His name; what about you? I know Jesus; what about you? Use the authority that is your God given right!! AMEN (so be it)

Compassion

Compassion - (noun) com-pas-sion American Heritage Dictionary - Deep awareness of the suffering of another; coupled with the wish to relieve it. sympathate - sad concern for some misfortune, commiseration, condolence, empathy, pity, sympathy, Hebrew - burst forth compassion, mercy.Hebrew root - The bowels are the seat of compassion AHLB - With in this wall is the family clan, a place of freedom. Greek - Latin dervative -Sympathy is the greek form. Com - with, passion - suffer = Suffer with. Luke 23:34A Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do." Think about this for a minute; there is a INNOCENT man who just had to carry His own cross after being wiped, a thorn of crowns upon His head, His feet & hands pierced, dieing . And He looks up to God & ask for compassion on the people who is murdering Him. I would be up there saying curse these jerks. I sure wouldn't be saying what Jesus said; "forgive them for they do not know what they do." What would you have said? Could you do it? The words of Jesus was way beyond that any human heart is capable of giving. Our human heart cannot forgive our own familys for doing things alone somebody murdering us. That is compassion!! Compassion reaches further than the law does; further than the demands of a judge. Compassion reaches to the heart of life, to the secret of our being. The compassion of Jesus was the divine secret that made Him lovable. As the Greek meaning He "Suffer With". Which means he suffer with them! Not only with His own suffering but He was suffering with them, & for them. If you mix the Greek & Hebrew together He suffered deep down in His bowels for them; hanging from that cross for you & me!!!

Remarks from CBS Morning News

I know to some of you this may be out dated, but it still good for the United States today & everyday. The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. My confession: I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees.. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees. It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu . If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away. I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat. Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to.. In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking. Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?' In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK. Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK. Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.' Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace. Are you laughing yet? Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it. Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us. Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in. My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully, Ben Stein

Prayer Request

If anybody has a prayer request; Please, let me know & I will post it & pray about it also. Have a Blessed Day in God!! Also, if you do not want the reason published just let me know & I can put unspoken. I myself will need to know. The reason why is; I do not pray against or for anything that is not biblical. I will not judge, as that is for God. I'm keeping my honor with God! with love Rev. Londa Picard

This is a true story

This was e-mailed to me and it's to good not to past on to my readers. The Lord is in control.......Thank you, Lord Jesus! Isaiah 65:24 - 'And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.' This beautiful story was written by a doctor who worked in South Africa .. One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labour ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst(rubber perishes easily in tropical climates) 'And it is our last hot water bottle!' she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drug stores down forest pathways. 'All right,' I said, 'put the baby as near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts, Your job is to keep the baby warm.' The following noon , as I did most days, I went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose togather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bottle, and that the baby could so easily die if it got chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died. During prayer time, one ten year old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. 'Please, God' she prayed, 'Send us a hot water bottle today. It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this afternoon.' While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added, 'And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she'll know You really love her?' As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say ' Amen'? I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything; the Bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending me a parcel from the homeland. I had been in Africa for almost four years at that time, and I had never, ever, received a parcel from home. Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator! Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door. By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there on the veranda was a large 22-pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children. Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly. Excitement was mounting. Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box. From the top, I lifted out brightly-coloured, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as I gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas- that would make a batch of buns for the weekend. Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the.....could it really be? I grasped it and pulled it out. Yes, a brand new, rubber hot water bottle. I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could. Ruth was in the front row of the children. She rushed forward, crying out, 'If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly, too!' Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully-dressed dolly. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted! Looking up at me, she asked: 'Can I go over with you and give this dolly to that little girl, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?' 'Of course', I replied! That parcel had been on the way for five whole months, packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator. And one of the girls had put in a dolly for an African child - five months before, in answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it 'that afternoon.' 'Before they call, I will answer.' (Isaiah 65:24) When you receive this, say the prayer. That's all you have to do. No strings attached. Just send it on to whom ever you want - but do send it on. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. Thereis no cost, but a lot of rewards. Let' s continue praying for one another. This is an awesome prayer takes less than a minute. Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this. I ask You to minister to their spirit. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubting, release a renewed confidence to work through them. Where there is tiredness or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, guidance, and strength. Where there is fear, reveal Your love and release to them Your courage. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do these things in Jesus name. Amen P.S. Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend will bless you both. Passing this on to one not considered a friend is something Christ would do.

Isaiah 33:2 & 5-6 (NKJ)

2) O Lord, be gracious to us; We have waited for You. Be their arm every morning, Our salvation also in the time of trouble. Be their arm = Be strength to Your people 5) The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice & righteousness. 6) Wisdom & knowledge well be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation' The fear of the Lord is His treasure. Lord we thank you for being our strength! Some times it seems like you cannot go through problems, trouble, sickness - What is really wonderful we have God to be our strength. All Christians have to do is call out to Him & He is there. He never leaves us, as children call out for their parents when their hurt, scared, sick, or in danger, we should be calling out to our Father - God. God is our parent ABBA-Father that is who He is. That is the highest form of a Father. Mark 14:36 (read letter so Christ said it) And He said, ABBA, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will. Romans 8:15-17 15) For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "ABBA, Father 16) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17) and if children, then heirs--heirs of God & joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. So we have both a Great Big Brother - Jesus Christ and an even bigger Father - God. (Or Dad) Don't walk, but run to them!! They're there for us at all times!!!!!!!!

eye opening

A few days ago I wrote "God With Me" about somebody that was or will be going through something. Well, today God showed me that I wrote it for my brother Larry. The Holy Spirit knew what Barb & Larry would be going through. That God will never leave the two of you!! I love you both very much!! And so, does God. So, the "God With Me" is for you & anybody else who is going through some hard times. I hope everybody will still pray for Larry's total healing & that Larry will know his healing came from God. God bless all of you today. In Jesus Name AMEN (so, be it) with love

Jesus Blood

There are two things that Jesus blood did for us. One it covered our sins. Two His blood was shed to live our lives free from both sickness & disease. Isaiah 53:4-5 4) Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, & afflicted. 5) But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. In the Hebrew language Grief is the word for sick. So, the verse is saying "He has made Him sick." Isaiah 53:4A should read "Surely he hath borne our sickness, and carried our pains" Isaiah 53:10A Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. This verse where it says He has put Him to grief is really saying"He has made Him sick". satan is the author of sickness, but alot of people blame God. satan lies to people and make them think that God actually put sickness on them. satan even makes you believe that God puts sickness on somebody to teach them something. God isn't the author of sickness & death. It's satan!! If God was the author of sickness, He wouldn't have sent Jesus to the cross to bare our sickness, our sorrows (pain), Or even given us redemption from our sins. You have to remember that God made the Gospel simple. What is comes down to is that God's will wants us to be whole both spiritually & phyically. satan comes back after you've been healed & lies to you about your healing. He tries to put that sickness back on you & if you don't stand up to him; it will come back worse then before. So, you must resist satan * James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil & he will flee from you. * Ephesians 4:27 nor give place to the devil. (place should be opportunity to the devil) * Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (It should say schemings of the devil) After your healed & the very first symptom tries to come back stand your ground. Quote the Word of God. * 1 Peter 2:24 who, Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness-- by whose stripes you were healed. * Matthew 8:17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isiah the prophet, saying: "He Himself took our infirmities & bore our sicknesses" * Isaiah 53:4-5 4) Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, & afflicted. 5) But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Know the power & authority of the Name of Jesus. Quit depending on others to do it for you. Use your faith. As you have the biblical right to use In the Name of Jesus, the scriptures, so go ahead & stand your grounds. Keeping your healing you cannot go on somebody else faith & keep it. You have to do it. So get build up knowing the word of God. Jesus whipped satan; hands down over two-thousand years ago So, just tell him to leave your body & he will have to go. Build strong Faith & know Gods will as throughout the whole bible there are promises of healing. Write these down **Exodus 15:26 (last sentence) For I am the Lord who heals you ** Deuteronomy 33:25 Your sandals shall be iron & bronze; As your days, so shall your strength be. ** Psalm 73:26 My flesh & my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart & my portion forever. (In the Hebrew language it should read "my rock forever") ** Psalm 91:10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; ** Psalm 146:8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises those who bowed down; Ther Lord loves the righteous. ** Malachi 4:2A But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His Wings; ** Luke 10:19 (this is big on authority) "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents & scorpions, & over aall the power of the enemy, & nothing shall by any means hurt you. ** Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. ** Galatians 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree") Amen, So be it.

Healing Two

Healing Part Two After Jesus overcame all effords of satan attempt to test Him. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah, He found where it was written as told to us in Luke 4:18-19 (in the leading up to Healing commitment). Jesus went throughout Galilee teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom and healing ALL manner of Sickness, & ALL manner of Diseases among the people. Matthew 4:24They brought to Him ALL sick people who were afflicted with warious diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileplics, and paralytics; HE HEALED THEM. Jesus established forever the ideal of Christian ministry for the Church of God. He empowered twelve men and sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. Matthew 10:7-8(7)And as you go, preach, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand."(8)Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons, Freely you have received, freely give. That healing power of God it's available for all men today, to show the world that there is hope and benefits of salvation and healing spifically declared by Jesus Christ Himself to be available for every man today. And to show sin is a perversion & sickness is an impostor.And the Grace & power of God through the Holy Ghost delivers man from all bondage of darkness. And man in all his nature rises into union and communion with God and becomes one with Him in the truest senceSickness doesn't come from God it comes from satan. So God isn't the one who put sickness on you! I get mad when people say it's the will of God. That is a lie from hell itself! Because if it were there would be no HOPE for you and me. The truth needs to be told. And all those who have been taught this lie needs to get a hold of that truth!! I'm sorry back to healing. I just felt that the Lord told me to say that about sickness and diseases doesn't come from Him. 1 Corinthians 13:9 & 28(9)to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit.(28)And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gift of healing, helps, administration, varieties of tongues. Healing is a Gift so, as a gift is doesn't cost anything. You only need to believe. James 5:16Confess your trapasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much!! When somebody confess their sins, that doesn't give anybody the right to judge them or condeamed them or even to gossip about them. As the saying goes what is done in Mexico stays in Mexico. So what is done with confession stays in the church walls! We need to pray for one another and if your out judging, condeaming, and gossiping about them that in itself is a sin and your fervent prayer will not be effective.Nobody wants that. O'hana means family in the Hawaiian language and that is what Christians are FAMILY. James 5:15And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

God being with me.

I had to come back & rewrite the beginning of this. It started out about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. As I started to write about Him, He had me write something else. He said I needed to change the beginning of it. So, I did. There is someone out there who needs this. That person is going through something & they need to know that God never leaves them. That He is always there. God will never leave you or forsake you. HE IS THERE. I am leaving the rest of what God had given me. This is a true story. When I was going through it was not easy. God was there with me all the way. So I know he never leaves us. I hope you will enjoy it. I know there are a lot of you who doesn't believe that the Holy Spirit is for today. He's there to comfort us! He really is. Jesus had to go away for the Holy Spirit to come to earth to work with the believers yesterday, today, & for the future. There has been a lot of times that if He wouldn't had been there I don't know what I would have done. I found out 29 years ago on Feburary 22, 1979 that I had a handicapped child; Melissa Ann. When people would see Melissa they would come up to me and wanted to know what sin I had commited. That God was punishing me for something. How could a blessing be a punishment? What Satan wanted for bad; God used Melissa for good. God the Holy Spirit was there with me. He sent an angle of the Lord to come to me & He told me everything trust Him & everything would be all right. It was but I did have to go through things with her. The doctors said she would never live past the age of three, God had other ideas for Melissa, people would touch her and feel the present of the Lord in & on her life. I mean they actually felt the Holy Spirit. I knew that there was several times she was playing with the angles. You could see her watch somebody cross the room & she would burst out laughing. It was wonderful watching that. One time I could see the reflexion in her eye, I caugth site of one. So what man thought was a curse;God was useing for a blessing. Even when she went on to Heaven the Holy Spirit was there. Melissa died in my arms. I will never forget it. I felt a wonderful peace that fell upon her and I knew she was not alone. God was wonderful that He showed me what she looked like in heaven. She was so beauiful!!! And she was whole. I still get tears in my eyes because God showed me how much He loves us. How He has blessed my life with that beauiful little Melissa. I adopted a little boy who is special needs Jean-Luc. (Yes, Jean-Luc Picard & we do call him Captian).He has been a wonderful blessing also!!! Most men thought they are a curse, they're not. You should see Gods love through these children. The Holy Spirit has never left my side. Even when I have had 2 major heart attacks, pulmonary hypertenison, and others. I don't look at the illness anymore I look at God. Guest what He's always there & I do mean always there! He never has left me, He has sent me angles, the Holy Spirit, and yes, I have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. I love God for what He has done in my life. He has shown me the Love of Jesus Christ in my life. He has shown me His Love for me, & He has shown me that the Holy Spirit is there & loves me too. Praise God!!!

Doing What Jesus Did

Doing What Jesus Did John 14:12-14 (red letter) 12) Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13) And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14) If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. Do you know some of the things Jesus did? We need to know He says we can do what He did and greater works. - He turned water into wine, not just wine but it was the best wine. He also overflowed the wine. More then enough. - Jesus feed the multitudes starting with just two fishes and five loaves. They had twelve baskets of fragments left over. More then enough. Jesus feed the poor both for body and spirit. John 10:10 (red letter) The thief does not come except to still and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. Jesus also controled the weather & the seas Matthew 8:23-27 23) Now when He got into a boad, His disciples followed Him. 24) And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. 25) Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" 26) But He said to them, " Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea obey Him?" Take authority So, when you speak to the big winds, hurricanes, tornatos have them dissipate, not go someother place to cause damage. And for healing there are really to many verses to name. One really stands out Matthew 8:16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and HEALED ALL who were sick. Jesus didn't care who you were He healed all. Take authority over sickness, over spirits, with the Word of God. He healed so can you. Take the authority. Stand on Gods word. As the Bible said in John 14:12-14 said that He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do, and it also says whatsoever ye ask in My name that I will do. That brings glory to God the Father. And that is what being a Christian is following in Jesus steps & bring glory to our Father! You follow His example of prayer Matthew 6:9-13. Jesus prayed alot. As 1 Peter 3:7B; Just pray that your prayers will not be hinder. Pray with authority. He gave us His name. Romans 8:31-39 31) What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32) He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him us for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33) Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34) Who is he who condemns? It is Christ died, and futhermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35) Who shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36) As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." 37) Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38) For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come. 39) nor heights nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ask with authority He gave us His name. And the most important thing Jesus did was give His life for you and me. His Blood covered our sins, His Love saved us. And all we had to do was ask. We couldn't earn it. It was His free gift to us. 1 Peter 1:19 but with the precious blood of Chirst as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. We know the out come because we've read the book and God gave us the answer. I'm asking you to give your life to Jesus. Find the authority. Find His love! He will meet you right where YOU are. Your not losing your life your gaining eternal life and having a more abundant life.

Commitment Leading Up to Healing 1

Commitment Leading up to Healing Healing 1 Jesus totally committed Himself to God! As He follow what God wanted about His Baptism. That the baptism was a dedication unto all righteousness. Matthew 3:14-15 (14)And John tried to prevent Him, saying, I have need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me? (15)But Jesus answered and said to him, ""Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness"" Then he allowed Him. After He committed Himself, It was His Body, His Soul, & His Spirit to God. IMMEDIATELY, after his baptism, descended upon Him, the Holy Ghost came FROM Heaven as a dove and abode upon Him. (actully the Heavens open up). There was a voice that also came from heaven saing Matthew 3:17 "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased! Jesus was a hundrefold consecrated to God". This will come upon every man who will meet the Almighty God withe the samutterance of real consecration to God, of sprit, soul, and body. And this reveals the demand of God upon the Christian's person and conscience, and the answer of God from heaven to this fullness of consecration. Jesus went into the wilderness, where after the time satan came to test Him and see if he was really consecrated to God in body, in soul, and in spirit. Would He endure satan testing. Thank God he did!! Jesus did overcome all the efforts of satan to tempt Him in those specific departments of His life. FIRST: body SECOND: soul Third: spirit Jesus overcame with the reliance on God, HIS WORD, and came forth in the power of the Spirit. HE ANNOUNCED THE CONSTRUCTIVE PLATFORM OF HIS LIFE AND MINISTRY, CONTAINING THE FOLLOWING: There are six You will find all these in Luke 4:18-19 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME BEAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO (1) PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. (2) HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKEN HEARTED. (3) PREACH DELIVENANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, (4) RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND (5) TO SET AT LIBERITY THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED (6) PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD The acceptable year is the of Jubilee & all the consequent of blessing. God's neverending Jubilee was at hand in Jesus Christ.

Beliefs

1) That there is only one true God, & is the eternal existant in three persons: the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit. a) God the father is perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, & has divine unlimited powers. That He hears our prayers and He answers our prayers. And all who has repented of their sins and believes that Jesus Christ is His Son. b) Jesus Christ, is the divine, eternal, and only begotten Son of God. That Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin and lived a sinless life! That He shed His blood to atone our sins. That He was RESSURRECTED from the dead & is at the right hand of God. That Jesus Christ intercess for us, His children. And that He will return for His children in power and glory. c) The Holy Spirit in deity & has a personality. He was sent forth from God the Father to convince the world of sins, of righteousness, & of judgement. The Holy Spirit also came to regenerate, indwell, sancify, instruct, & comfort all of Gods children. 2) The Bible is the true Word of God & His only Holy Word. It is the supreme authority in all matters of faith & conduct. In other words if the Bible says it; That Settles It!! 3) The Gifts of the Spirit to be used only as stated in the Bible. No other way. To walk in Love First. because with out Love the Gifts of the Spirit is nothing. 4) The Fruits of the Spirit. Walk as Jesus did. 5) That all men are, by nature, & by choice are sinners destitue of power to save themselves. That all men are in need of salvation through Jesus Christ and repentance of sin. 6) That all Christians are ordained by the power of the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel to the world. Not all are to be Pastors; but all are to use their Gifts to Present the gosple. An in 1 Corinthians 12:28-31. That the primary message to the world is, one must repent of their sins, & through confession to God that he/she is a sinner who is hopelessly lost. That Jesus Christ is the one & only true Son of God. And through Jesus Christ there is any other way. The only way our sins are forgiven. That Jesus Christ blood paid the full penalty for our sins, & that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, & now is seated at the right hand of God in heaven. that we ourselves cannot earn our way to heaven but through God's FREE gift of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God, sacrificed blood. 7) That the unrepentive lifestyle of any sin, fornication, homosexual, stealing murder, adultery, abortion, ect... ect... All of which must be repentented of. We should love the person, & hate the sin. 8) That the method of baptism is by water submersion of his/her body. As this is a represention of the spiritual burial of the old man & the resurrection of the new man in Jesus Christ. That ones salvation is not dependent on the baptism itself. It is the outward evidence of ones desire to be obedient to God & His Commandments. This is one of the two sacraments. 9) That "The Lord's Supper" as often as it is taken, is second of the two sacraments., other then baptism, that the church is commanded to administer to the saints. That if anybody has problems with somebody they first must handle it, before they can take communion. 10) a) That there is a real heaven and the place where believers go immediately upon the death of their earthly bodies. They are in a conscious state & are glorifying God. b) That there is a real hell, a place of eternal torment & there is no way out. That the unrepentive sinner will be forever separated from God. 11) I believe that salvation can only be obtained through Jesus Christ & not through any law keeping of keeping a Saturday Sabbath. I believe that the New Testament Church established keeping Sunday as the day of the week to come together. They set this day aside because it was on that day that Jesus Christ arose from the dead. 12) That all things should be done unto the Lord. And to bring Honor & Glory to Him.
