EIGHT OVERCOMES OF REVELATION
1) Revelation 2:7
who has an ear, let him hear what the says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God."
Revelation 22:2 & 14
2) In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of Life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruits every mouth. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
14) Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
Through the second Adam we have the right to eat from the tree of life. It is ours because the victory of Jesus. You have to overcome. We need to keep God's commandments!
2) Revelation 2:11
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death."
Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Now death may take the flesh of the body but, that is it. Jesus Christ tasted death for everybody. So, Jesus Christ is on the resurrection ground. Our bodies will die but, not our soul! We have to become & stay over comers!!
Just think about becoming a priest of God & of Christ. That blows my mind! Then we get to reign with Him! This right here is one great reason to become over - comers.
3) Revelation 2:17
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.
Revelation 3:12
"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, And I will write on him My new name.
Wow, we will have a new name & God himself will feed us with the bread of angles (Manna). We have to become over comers. Now don't pick up a white stone and start writing a name on it, that is for God to do & please, do not throw it at anybody! To become a pillar in the temple of God, Jesus is telling us to become that pillar.
4) Revelation 2:26
"And he that overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations --
Matthew 19:28
So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Wow, to overcome & keep HIS works till the end of our life, we will have power over nations & be with Him we can sit with Him on the other twelve thrones. If a man then can rule himself God can & will trust him to have that power over nations! We must become over-comers. To follow God.
5) Revelation 3:5
"He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angles.
Revelation 19:8
And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Philippians 4:3
And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
Can you even image being in God's court & our Big Brother Jesus Christ presents us to God & His Angles?! We will be known in heaven even before we get to heaven. We must become over-comers.
6) Revelation 3:12
"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My God, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
Revelation 21:2
Then I, John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
We will have Gods name upon us! NO MORE - sin, backsliding, no more being lost in the wilderness. Who are you gonna fight for here on earth; to get all of theses benefits of God. We Have to Overcome!!
7) Revelation 3:21
"To hm who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcome and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Revelation 2:7
who has an ear, let him hear what the says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God."
We get to sit with Jesus Christ in His & God's throne room. Wow to set with Jesus Christ & God in the throne room. It is hard for me to grasp this! Isn't this worth the struggle to overcome?? I would say that really it is! God puts His strength in us to overcome. God makes the way for us to become over-comers! Just think about how much loves us; enough to put the overcoming spirit with us. God makes the only way to heaven & for us to become an over-comer. We are joint heirs with our brother Jesus Christ. We are able to set with Him in Glory. We must become over-comers.
8) Revelation 21:7
"He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.
We have inherited all things Not just parts of it but, all things have we inherited. We are not poor but richer then anything because of our Lord Jesus Christ. To inherit all things; God is giving us all things through Jesus Christ. God has given us all things. God is our LORD & Master & we must become over-comers!!
Do you want what God is offering us through Jesus Christ? We need to use what God is offering us. We have to overcome this world; & God even shows us how to do that! To become over-comers in this world.
I just want to shout!!!

CRUIFIED
Crucified
Galatians 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Romans 6:5
For we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of his Resurrection.
I am crucified with Christ. As a Christian believer we are. This joining together of Christ and us it is a wonderful blessings. Jesus was totally obedience to God and Gods plans for us.
Jesus also had victory over sin and its power over us. His death gave us deliverance from sin.
The crucified one (Jesus) is the secret of the new glorify life, Jesus lives in us. Our sins have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus.
I read tonight about Christ's wounds were made to graft us in. He's the vine, we are the branches. Abide in Jesus. Be made one with Christ and be opened. Get grafted in. Having this access to Christ as being made one with in Him. We now are open to His divine nature, a blessing that is. A joy and fruit in learning life.
God didn't want us to bear that Cross and to be delivered from the guilt and from sin. Giving us power over Satan. Christ took our place with this also and said it is done.

AM I A FIREMAN YET?
Subj: Am I a Fireman Yet?
hope acts of kindness will live on forever.....
AM I A FIREMAN YET?
In Phoenix , Arizona , a 26 year-old mother stared down at her 6 year-old son, who was dying of terminal leukemia.
Although her heart was filled with sadness,
She also had a strong feeling of determination.
Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up &
Fulfill all his dreams. Now, that was no longer possible..
The leukemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dream to come true.
She took her son' s hand and asked, 'Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life?'
Mommy, 'I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up.'
Mom smiled back and said, 'Let's see if we can make your wish come true.'
Later that day she went to her local fire Department in Phoenix , Arizona , where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix !
She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her 6 year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine.
Fireman Bob said, 'Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary Fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards!
And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat - not a toy -- one-with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots.'
'They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix , so we can get them fast.'
Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck.
Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station. He was in heaven.
There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all three calls.
He rode in the different fire engines, the Paramedic's' van, And even the fire chief's car.
He was also videotaped for the Local news program.
Having his dream come true,
With all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy, that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept - that no one should die alone - began to call the family members to the hospital.
Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as a Fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and Asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition.
When you hear the sirens screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire?'
'It's the department coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will you open the window to his room?'
About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window--------
16 fire-fighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room.
With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they LOVED him.
With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said,
'Chief, am I really a fireman now?'
'Billy, you are, and the Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand,' the chief said.
With those words, Billy smiled and said, 'I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and
The angels have been singing.'
He closed his eyes one last time.

Dear Friend,
If Congressional leaders have their way, sweeping health care reform legislation will force American taxpayers to fund abortion-on-demand. A few days ago I had a chance to explain this to the country in an article in The Wall Street Journal entitled: “Tax Dollars Shouldn’t Fund Abortion”:
Democratic leaders claim that all they want is to maintain the "status quo" on abortion. In reality, maintaining what we have now isn't even on the table. To do that, a health-care bill would have to explicitly prevent federal dollars from being used for elective abortions. Provisions that would have done that were killed by all five committees that have handled health-care reform bills this year. Instead, the abortion compromise in the works is a provision modeled on an amendment Rep. Lois Capps (D., Calif.) added to the House bill.
The Capps Amendment is a radical departure from the status quo. As it stands now, the federal government does not pay into health-care plans that cover elective abortions. What's more, no government health plans cover elective abortion, period. That includes Medicaid, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, the State Children's Health Insurance Program, and other programs.
At Americans United for Life we are working tirelessly to alert the American people to the truth: that the health care reform proposals being pushed by Congressional leaders would mandate taxpayer funding or abortion.
But time is running out. The White House is pressuring Congress to rush through a health care bill that currently would force all American taxpayers to subsidize abortion on demand.
Your contribution NOW will help us continue this critical fight during the final weeks of the health care debate. The need could not be more urgent.
For Life,

AUL Responds to Attacks By Pro-Abortion Media Matters:
Meanwhile, abortion advocates continue to spread misinformation about how the health care reform proposals before Congress mandate abortion funding and coverage. Last Wednesday, the pro-abortion “Media Matters” posted an attack on our ad, “Don’t Be Fooled, Abortion is in Healthcare.” In their attack, they failed to directly dispute the accuracy of any of the statements from our ad in fact, they simply pasted in statements made by other sources that fail to give the complete picture of current law and how that law will be affected by any of the existing health care proposals.
Our legal team has written a detailed defense of each of the statements that we made in our ad. The defense examines many little-known facts about the current health care reform proposals, including:
Individuals who qualify to receive “affordability credits” (federal dollars) to help pay their insurance premiums may then select health care plans that cover abortion. The end result federal dollars subsidize health care plans that cover abortion. . . .
[T]he [Capps] amendment permits the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to include elective abortion (Sec. (4)(A)) as a mandatory minimum benefit in the public option. There is little doubt that abortion will be included in the public option, given the proabortion stance of the current Secretary of HHS, Kathleen Sebelius . . .
[F]or the first time in history, the federal government will ensure that every area of the country has access to a private health insurance plan that includes abortion coverage.

Covenant Sanctuary & Sacrifice
Covenant's Sanctuary & Sacrifice
Old Covenant -
Death - Law
New Covenant -
Life - Forgiveness of Sins.
Jesus Christ death shows us the Superiority of the New Covenant over the Old Covenant. The old Covenant cannot deliver us from sins.
Hebrews 10:19 - 13:25
Hebrews 9:1-10 OLD COVENANT
Sanctuary - Hebrews 9:1-5
1) Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service & the earthly sanctuary.
2) For a tabernacle was prepared; the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, & the show bread, which is called the sanctuary;
3) and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All,
4) which had the golden alter of incense & the ark of the covenant overlaid on all that had the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, & the tablets of the covenant;
5) and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
Sacrifice - Hebrews 9:6-10
6) Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services.
7) But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood which he offered for himself & for the people's sins committed in ignorance;
8) the Holy Spirit indication this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.
9) It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts & sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience--
10) concerned only with foods & drinks, various washings, & fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.
As under the Old Covenant death is brought about. Jesus Christ brought the New Covenant with His death & the omnipotent resurrection power that raised Him from the dead.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord
Romans 7:8
But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.
Romans 7:10 -11
10) And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.
11) For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me & by it killed me.
Now the resurrection power has an endless life, that is a promise. Jesus teaches & prepares us to understand the change in our life.
Romans 6:4
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into to death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Before a heir can get his inheritance; the proprietorship (the old life) must entirely disappears & the new heir (new life) can receive or enter into that inheritance. So death has to happen before the heir can receive their inheritance.
Hebrews 9:16
For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews 9:11 - 28 New Covenant
Sanctuary - Hebrews 9:11
But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater & more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
Sacrifice Hebrews 9:12-18
12) Not with the blood of goats & calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
13) For if the blood of bulls & goats & the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,
14) how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15) And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgression under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16) For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17) For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testators lives.
18) Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood
Hebrews 9:20 - 22
20) saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you,"
21) Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle & all the vessels of the ministry.
22) And according to the law almost all things are purged with blood, & without shedding of blood there is no remission.
read the rest of Hebrews 9:
So without shedding of the blood there isn't remission of sin.
We have been made dead to the law by the shedding of Jesus Christ blood. With His blood we have been released from the law
Romans 7:6
But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit & not in the oldness of the letter.
Old Covenant -
Death - Law
New Covenant -
Life - Forgiveness of Sins.
Jesus Christ death shows us the Superiority of the New Covenant over the Old Covenant. The old Covenant cannot deliver us from sins.
Hebrews 10:19 - 13:25
Hebrews 9:1-10 OLD COVENANT
Sanctuary - Hebrews 9:1-5
1) Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service & the earthly sanctuary.
2) For a tabernacle was prepared; the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, & the show bread, which is called the sanctuary;
3) and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All,
4) which had the golden alter of incense & the ark of the covenant overlaid on all that had the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, & the tablets of the covenant;
5) and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
Sacrifice - Hebrews 9:6-10
6) Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services.
7) But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood which he offered for himself & for the people's sins committed in ignorance;
8) the Holy Spirit indication this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.
9) It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts & sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience--
10) concerned only with foods & drinks, various washings, & fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.
As under the Old Covenant death is brought about. Jesus Christ brought the New Covenant with His death & the omnipotent resurrection power that raised Him from the dead.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord
Romans 7:8
But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.
Romans 7:10 -11
10) And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.
11) For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me & by it killed me.
Now the resurrection power has an endless life, that is a promise. Jesus teaches & prepares us to understand the change in our life.
Romans 6:4
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into to death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Before a heir can get his inheritance; the proprietorship (the old life) must entirely disappears & the new heir (new life) can receive or enter into that inheritance. So death has to happen before the heir can receive their inheritance.
Hebrews 9:16
For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews 9:11 - 28 New Covenant
Sanctuary - Hebrews 9:11
But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater & more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
Sacrifice Hebrews 9:12-18
12) Not with the blood of goats & calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
13) For if the blood of bulls & goats & the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,
14) how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15) And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgression under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16) For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17) For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testators lives.
18) Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood
Hebrews 9:20 - 22
20) saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you,"
21) Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle & all the vessels of the ministry.
22) And according to the law almost all things are purged with blood, & without shedding of blood there is no remission.
read the rest of Hebrews 9:
So without shedding of the blood there isn't remission of sin.
We have been made dead to the law by the shedding of Jesus Christ blood. With His blood we have been released from the law
Romans 7:6
But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit & not in the oldness of the letter.

AMAZING GRACE this will bring tears to your eyes
Amazing Grace ...... WOW!
Amazing Grace like you have never heard it before! THIS IS TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL!
The four guys performed "Amazing Grace" in the beautiful arena in Pula, Croatia.
This coliseum (smaller but better preserved than the one in Rome) where the concert and recording were done is one of the most well-preserved Roman coliseums in the world.
Now, the four male singers in the group called 'Il Divo' are from four different countries.
Moreover, they come from four different musical disciplines but have discovered a new unity of purpose.
'Il Divo' in Italian literally means a male (singular) 'prima donna.'
They are:
American tenor David Miller;
Swiss tenor Urs Buhler;
Spanish baritone Carlos Marin; and
French pop singer Sebastien Izambard.
This group was initially brought together in 2004 by the infamous Simon Cowell after intensive worldwide auditions.
The virtuoso blending of operatic techniques with both romantic and popular tradition has taken the world by storm.
They have sold over 22 million albums, the first three of which were 'Il Divo', 'Ancora,' and 'Sempre,'
the last two translated into English are 'Again' and 'Always.'
Lastly, the group decided to work with only one producer, a longtime collaborator named Steve McCutcheon (aka Steve Mac).
A musical genius, Mac is able to create beautiful orchestrations by experience.

Transparency for Congressional Committees
Speaker Pelosi has repeatedly broken her promise of this being “the most open Congress.” Over the past nine months, major pieces of legislation have repeatedly been drafted, filed and then changed in the dark of night or behind closed-doors. It happened with the so-called stimulus, with the cap and trade national energy tax, and it happened with the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee’s health care legislation.
This is only my first year in Washington, but if this is “business as usual,” then it’s time for business to change. That's why yesterday, I introduced House Resolution 835, which requires congressional committees to post legislation online within 24-hours to give all members of Congress as well as the American people time to read and understand the legislation.
I am proud to say 96 of my colleagues in the House have cosponsored my resolution, and I am hopeful Speaker Pelosi will follow through on her promise of accountability and transparency and let this bill come to vote before the House. You can read the bill here.
Homeland Security Funds NBAF
This week, the House passed the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which included $32 million to finish design and begin construction of the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF). Making sure the NBAF facility moves forward has been a priority of mine since it was announced last year that the facility would be built in Manhattan, Kansas. After voting against the House version of this legislation in June because it did not include NBAF funding, I have been working with my colleagues in the House and Senate to make sure this funding would be included in the final bill.
The research that will be done at the NBAF is vital to our nation’s security and will further solidify Kansas as a leader in animal health research. The passage of this bill is especially great news for Kansas, since the NBAF will bring 1,500 construction jobs and 450 permanent jobs at the facility. At a time when good economic news is difficult to come by, this facility will generate much needed growth in the Kansas economy. This bill now heads to the Senate where I hope they can pass it and send to the President for his signature.
Senate Finance Passes Health Care Bill
On Tuesday, the Senate Finance Committee passed the Baucus health care bill out of committee. I am very concerned with the penalties and taxes included in this bill that will hit middle class Kansans the hardest. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Baucus bill comes with $507 billion in new taxes and fees. In fact, this bill will tax families $1,900 for not having health insurance. At a time when Americans are losing jobs and finding it difficult to pay their current bills, additional taxes on middle class families is unacceptable.
I have spent a great deal of time working with the House Republican;s Health Care Solutions Group on alternative solutions to reforming our nation’s health care. I am extremely disappointed Speaker Pelosi has shut Republicans out of this debate, only negotiating between members of the Democrat conference. Check out my website here to see our plan for health care reform.
I will continue to support medical liability reforms to put an end to costly defensive medicine, provideing assistance to folks who truly need help and allowing small businesses to band together to provide affordable care to their employees. Rather than forcing through a government takeover of health care, Speaker Pelosi needs to work with all House members on common sense reforms to fix the system without destroying it.
Where are the Jobs?
The Administration promised the American people that unemployment would not rise above 8 percent. However, since the so-called stimulus bill became law in January, our nation has lost nearly three million jobs, taking unemployment to 9.8 percent – the highest unemployment rate in 26 years. Just yesterday, the White House announced the federal contracts totaling $16 billion that have been awarded to date have created less than 31,000 jobs nationwide – only 209 of those are in Kansas. Additionally, it has been reported that many of the jobs created were not in states with the highest unemployment but in fact, in Washington, D.C.
As Kansas families continue to make sacrifices to get through the challenging times, I urge the Democrat leadership to put partisan politics aside and work across the aisle on common sense solutions to jumpstart our nation’s economy. I believe a better approach is the economic stimulus package that even President Obama’s economic advisors admit would create twice the jobs at half the cost.

MISSING DAY
NASA and the BIBLE and the missing day
Thought this was pretty amazing and interesting!
For all the scientists out there, and for all the students who have a hard time convincing these people regarding the truth of the Bible, here's something that shows God's awesome creation, and that He is still in control.
Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called 'myth' in the Bible is true?
Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore, Maryland, and a consultant in the space program, relates the following development.
'I think one of the most amazing things that God has done for us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland
They were checking out where the positions of the sun, moon, and planets would be 100 years and 1,000 years from now. We have to know this so we won't send up a satellite and have it bump into something later on in its orbits.
We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down.
They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries, and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong with either the information fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards.
They called in the service department to check it out, and they said, 'What's wrong?' Well, they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time..
They scratched their heads and tore their hair out. There was no answer.
Finally a Christian man on the team said, 'You know, one time I was in Sunday School, and they talked about the sun standing still..' While they didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said, 'Show us, '
He got a Bible and went to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for any one with 'common sense.'
There they found the Lord saying to Joshua,
'Fear them not, I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before Thee.'
Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy! And if darkness fell, they would overpower them. So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! That's right... 'The sun stood still and the moon stayed and lasted not to go down about a whole day!'
(Joshua 10:12-13)
The astronauts and scientists said, There is the missing day! They checked the computers going back into the time it was written and found it was close but not close enough. The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes.. not a whole day.
They read the Bible, and there it was about [approximately] a day. These little words in the Bible are important, but they were still in trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes, you'll still be in trouble 1000 years from now.
Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplie d many times over in orbits. As the Christian employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS.
The scientists told him he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings that told of the following story: Hezekiah, on his death bed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said 'Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?'
Hezekiah said, 'It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow return backward 10 degrees.' Isaiah spoke to the Lord, and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD! Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes!'
Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the universe! Isn't it amazing?
References: Joshua 10:8 and 12,13 and 2 Kings 20:9-11.
**Forward this to as many people who you believe would think this is equally as cool.
If God could do this then; how much more can he do for us today. If we only believe in his word.
Never be afraid to try something new.
All I have and all that I am is by the Grace of God!

Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the universe! Isn't it amazing?
References: Joshua 10:8 and 12,13 and 2 Kings 20:9-11.
Forward this to as many people who you believe would think this is equally as cool.
If God could do this then; how much more can he do for us today. If we only believe in his word.
Never be afraid to try something new.
All I have and all that I am is by the Grace of God!
PINK SLIPS DELIVERED TO CONGRESS
1.3 million 'pink slips' delivered to Congress!
Grass-roots campaign targets massive new spending plans

WASHINGTON – In just four days, an innovative campaign to alert Congress of widespread grass-roots opposition to massive new spending plans has delivered a message to Congress – "Are you listening to us?" 1.3 million times.
The campaign targets not only Congress's uncontrolled spending, but other objectionable and intrusive legislation and in just four days, some 1.3 million "pink slip
" notices have been dispatched to members of the House and Senate.
WND announced the "Send Congress a Pink Slip" campaign Friday and it has already reached more than one-fifth of its stated goal of 5 million notices, individually addressed, personalized with sender's name and address and delivered to all members of Congress by Fed Ex. Already, 1.3 million of the "pink slips" are on their way to Washington.
"This looks like a historic effort – comparable to the massive march in Washington, the tea party rallies and the town hall actions," said Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND. "I'm quite sure nothing like this has ever before been undertaken."
(Story continues below)
The idea was conceived by Janet Porter of Faith2Action and a WND weekly columnist.
"We set a goal of 5 million pink slips to members of Congress," she said. "We might even surpass that goal."
Porter said the highest priority of members of Congress is re-election. The campaign is designed to put them on notice that their hopes of staying in Washington are fading fast.
"There is a revolution brewing across this country," she said. "People are angry about losing their country and they are ready for action. This campaign is just the latest evidence."
The "Send Congress a Pink Slip" campaign ensures that a brief but poignant message will be delivered by Fed Ex to all 535 members of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate – all for a remarkably low price based on economies of scale.
"We encourage citizens to take individual actions," said Farah. "But when we act as a group, it's more cost-effective and the results more dramatic. Just try Fed Exing members of Congress yourself and see what it costs. We have learned from past experience that Fed Ex actually ensures delivery to members. What they do with them at that point is their choice."
The program is based on several other successful programs of the past, including one last summer that delivered 705,000 letters to senators protesting a "hate crimes" bill dubbed by critics as "the Pedophile Protection Act."
"I believe this has the potential to be the most successful grass-roots effort in history," said Porter. "After all the town halls and tea parties and the massive demonstration in Washington, Congress still hasn't gotten the message. Now it's time to show them just how serious we are with a message aimed at what they most care about – getting re-elected."
The "pink slip" officials are getting is a warning that they work for the taxpayers. It lists four key issues that are deemed unacceptable to participants.
* government health care
* cap and trade
* "hate crimes"
* any more spending
"If you vote for any of these, your real pink slip will be issued in the next election," it warns.
The program permits participants to Fed Ex 535 individually addressed messages to members of Congress, each one with the name and address of the sender for a total price of $29.95.
"This is a program that only works with massive numbers of participants that bring paper and printing and shipping costs way down," explains Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, which has conducted similar programs in the past – this one being the largest and most ambitious.

Dan Gilyeat is running for Congress against Dennis Moore. Take a look at what Dennis Moore had to say about Dan. (Dan Gilyeat and David served together in the Marines in Iraq when Dan was injured. Some of you have probably met him.)
Take a look at the article below and also the web sites I have posted.

Moore Calls Disabled Marine "White Trash"
Speaking to a respected Hispanic leader in KCK, Dennis Moore reportedly called decorated and disabled Marine Veteran and Congressional Opponent "White Trash" in a recent (recorded) telephone conversation. The KCK leader, who has formally supported the incumbent congressman, is supporting Daniel Gilyeat's candidacy for the Kansas 3rd District Congressional seat. Dennis Moore called the KCK man after hearing the Hispanic community leader's support had changed. Dennis Moore said he had $7 million for the campaign and could not believe the naturalized citizen was supporting "White Trash" over Moore.
webassets/teaparty1010036.JPGDaniel Gilyeat is running against Moore in Kansas and was serving his second term in Iraq when he lost his leg to an IED. "I lost my leg but found my voice," Gilyeat said to a crowd Saturday at the Veteran's memorial. Gilyeat did not comment about Moore's description of him other than to smile and say he had heard of the comment from the man Moore was speaking to.
"Moore's comment has serious implications," Theresa Benefield, owner Sequoia Logistics LLC, said. "Dennis Moore is telling Hispanics they owe him their votes by bringing up the threat of $7 million. He is telling all 3rd District voters he will buy the election." Benefield said she wondered where he was getting his money. "It is not in his FEC reports, but then again, Rangle, Franks, and now Moore have trouble reporting what is and is not theirs. That is a lot of money from someone who places his worth at just under $1 million. For a job that pays over $200,000, one might speculate on why a congressman would spend more on running in the 3rd District than he has brought into the district over the past two years, she said.
"Calling anyone white trash is unwarranted, but is unconscionable when directed toward any minority. Evidently, minorities and middle class white people have to keep in their place around representatives like Moore and Pelosi," she said.
Speaking with several Hispanic Americans about Moore's comment, they each were outraged the representative would result to name calling, especially to a decorated Veteran who grew up in a largely minority neighborhood in Kansas City, Kansas.

NAILS IN THE FENCE
NAILS IN THE FENCE
Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.
(Most importantly the last sentence)
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, 'You
have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out.. But It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound will still be there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Remember that friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.'
It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care.. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you!
Now send this to every friend you have!! And to your family (they need to know that you love them too).
Please forgive me if I have ever left a 'hole' in your fence.
Thank you Dad for sending this!!!! It is very true!!!!!!

COVENANT - MEDIATOR OF THE COVENANT
Covenant - Mediator of the Covenant
New Covenant is the Basis of Ministry
2 Corinthians 3:6-18
6) who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7) But if the ministry of death, written & engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
8) how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
9) For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
10) For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.
11) For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
12) Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech --
13) unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.
14) But their minds were hardened. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
15) But even to this day, when Moses is read a veil lies on their heart.
16) Nevertheless when one turns to the LORD. the veil is taken away
17) Now the LORD is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty
18) But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the LORD are 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
Jesus is the mediator of the covenant. In Jesus we are dead to sin & the law. In the New Covenant Grace is the main characteristic. The Old Covenant is the Law. The Spirit of the LORD has taken the veil or law away & given us Grace, the glory of the LORD, the Spirit of the LORD. With the Spirit we have been transformed into the same image of the LORD.
Romans 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 7:4
Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another even to Him who was raised from the dead we should bear fruit to God
Galatians 5:18
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
The law could not give deliverance from the power of sin. With the New Covenant glory of grace, it is working in us. And with grace working in us ALL The promises can be fulfilled & experience.
Grace gives God to love us freely with out our merits. God can bestow on us His blessing.
From the Webster Dictionary
GRACE - means:
1a) unmerited divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification
a state of sanctification enjoyed through the divine Grace of God.
1b) a virtue coming from God.
2a) APPROVAL, FAVOR.
We have discovered that as we live in Christ to God, that everything now is the work of God Himself! We must die to self, & be prepared to be led by the Holy Spirit into the full enjoyment of the New Covenant life. Giving self to surrender ALL to Jesus/God/Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 2: 14-16
14) knowing that He who raised up the LORD Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, & will present us with you
15) For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16) Therefore we do not lose heart, Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
It is very exciting to know that the law points the way & that the New Covenant grace came by Jesus Christ our LORD. That now we have grace & we see the free & full pardon of all our transgressions & sins. That we have been bestowal of perfect righteousness, & the acceptance of Gods favor.
Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
We owe everything to the Grace of God!!!
1 Corinthians 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am, & His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the Grace of God which was with me.
2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work
2 Corinthians 12:9a
And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness"
Ephesians 3:7
of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.
1 Timothy 1:14
And the grace of our LORD was exceeding abundant, with faith & love which are in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:1
You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
We are to be strong in grace. Jesus Christ gave us that grace it is in Him & since you are in Him, He is in you. You have GRACE! Praise God for that!!

May be it really is time for change when people are thinking like this.
What kind of change do you want?

DIVORCE AGREEMENT
THIS IS SO WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON!!!
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce.
I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms.
We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up this country by landmass each taking a portion.
That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy!
Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
Since you hate guns and war,
we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell
(You are, however,
responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).
We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street..
You can have your beloved homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens.
We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.
We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and
we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.
When our allies or our way of life are under assault,
we'll help provide them security.
We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values...
You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain.
You can also have the U.N.. But we will no longer be paying the bill.
We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars.
You can take every Volkswagen you can find.
We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem.
I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.
We'll practice trickle down economics and
you can give trickle up poverty your best shot.
Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this?
If so,
please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if
you do not agree, just hit delete.
In the spirit of friendly parting,
I'll bet you which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda with you.
What kind of change do you want?

You can also have the U.N.. But we will no longer be paying the bill.
We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars.
You can take every Volkswagen you can find.
We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem.
I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.
We'll practice trickle down economics and
you can give trickle up poverty your best shot.
Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this?
If so,
please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if

PHONES IN CHURCH ?????
A man in Topeka , Kansas decided to write a book about churches around the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and started working east from there.
Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes.
He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign, which read "Calls: $10,000 a minute.."
Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to heaven and if he pays the20price he can talk directly to GOD.
The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle , Dallas , St. Louis , Chicago , Milwaukee , and many cities and towns all around the United States , he found more phones, with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Missouri , upon entering a church in the beautiful Ozark region of Missouri , behold - he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read "Calls: 35 cents"
Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, "Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to GOD, but in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only 35 cents a call. Why?"
I love this part ...
The pastor, smiling broadly, replied, "Son, you're in Missouri now ... You're in God's Country.. It's a local call."
American by Birth - Missourian by the Grace of God.
And why do Missourians go barefoot?
When you're in Missouri you're on Holy ground!
Thank you Larry for sending this. And living in Missouri.

FROM A ROMANIAN NEWSPAPER
From a Romanian Newspaper
We rarely get a chance to see another country's editorial about the USA
Read this excerpt from a Romanian Newspaper. The article was written by Mr. Cornel Nistorescu and published under the title 'C'ntarea Americii, meaning 'Ode To America ') in the Romanian newspaper Evenimentulzilei 'The Daily Event' or 'News of the Day'.
~ An Ode to America ~
Why are Americans so united? They would not resemble one another even if you painted them all one color! They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations and religious beliefs.
On 9/11, the American tragedyturned three hundred million people into a hand put on the heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the Army, or the Secret Service that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank accounts. Nobody rushed out onto the streets nearby to gape about.
Instead the Americans volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand.
After the first moments of panic , they raised their flag over the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts, caps and ties in the colors of the national flag. They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every place and on every car a government official or the president was passing. On every occasion, they started singing: 'God Bless America !'
I watched the live broadcast and rerun after rerun for hours listening to the story of the guy who went down one hundred floors with a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she was, or of the Californian hockey player, who gave his life fighting with the terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a target that could have killed other hundreds or thousands of people.
How on earth were they able to respond united as one human being? Imperceptibly, with every word and musical note, the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes. And with every phone call, millions and millions of dollars were put into collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit, which no money can buy. What on earth can unites the Americans in such way? Their land? Their history? Their economic Power? Money? I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases with the risk of sounding commonplace, I thought things over, I reached but only one conclusion... Only freedom can work such miracles.

GOAL: 1000 + prayers / signatures from all over the country/world, so please sign(type) your name at the bottom of list below, say a prayer, and pass it on to as many people as you trust to forward this on. Once the list reaches a thousand people, please send this back to me at: jeaniemarkel@yahoo.com

Dear Friend,
With all the twists and turns in the health care debate, we keep hearing the question: what’s next? So I wanted to take a minute and sketch out for you what we know from our meetings here in the Nation’s Capital and on the Hill.
Next week, the Senate Finance Committee is poised to vote out its health care reform bill. After that, Majority Leader Harry Reid and his allies will determine the content of the final Senate bill--and Americans want to know what’s in it. The New York Times reports that a group of centrist Democratic senators sent a letter to the majority leader, Harry Reid (D-Nevada), urging that the public be given at least 72 hours to review the legislation before debate begins on the Senate floor.
If the public does get a chance to view the bill, what it finds certainly won’t please the overwhelming majority of Americans who oppose including abortion funding in health care reform. Like the other four committees (three in the House and one in the Senate) that have reported out health care reform bills, the Senate Finance Committee failed to include language in the legislation that would adequately exclude federal funding and coverage of abortion.
Senate Finance Committee staff is already working to reconcile their bill with the bill reported out of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee. Ultimately, however, Majority Leader Harry Reid and other members of the Democratic Party will determine the content of the final Senate bill.
Similarly, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House Democratic Leadership are working to reconcile the three different versions of the House Bill (H.R. 3200) that were reported out of the House Committees, and will therefore control the content of that bill.
Recent intelligence from the Hill indicates that a purported “compromise” on abortion funding and coverage in health care reform is in the works. The template for the language is Rep. Lois Capps’ (D-Calif.) amendment that was added to the House version of the bill (H.R. 3200) during the Energy and Commerce Committee mark-up, with similar language included in the Senate Finance Committee Bill.
But don’t be fooled: The Capps Amendment is not a compromise. In fact, it mandates abortion coverage in the public health care plan; mandates that at least one private insurance plan within a geographic area provide abortion coverage; and allows individuals to apply their affordability credits (government subsidies) to private plans that cover abortion.
The Democratic leadership plans to bring the House and Senate bills to their respective floors in mid-October, providing little if any time for pro-life members of Congress to review the legislation. In any case, the merged bill is expected to be dramatically different than the Senate Finance Committee proposal. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell told Reuters:
"The real bill will be written by Democrat leaders in a closed-to-the-public conference room somewhere in the Capitol. The real bill will be another 1,000-page, trillion-dollar experiment.”
Furthermore, while pro-life members of Congress should have the opportunity to offer pro-life amendments during the floor debate, it is likely that the pro-abortion leadership will use procedural maneuvers to block the consideration of amendments that would exclude abortion coverage and funding.
Our legal team is doing everything they can to ensure that Americans understand that millions of lives, born and unborn, are at risk if Congress fails to pass a health care bill that respects life.
You are among the millions of Americans who believes that “Real Health Care Respects Life” and we are working hard for you to get your voice to Congress. But we can do much more with your help. Will you make a donation today and help us continue to spread the word about the threat of abortion in health care?
Thank you for all your support and for standing with us!
For Life,

P.S. Our legal experts here at AUL have developed some excellent materials to help you show your friends and family what’s at stake in the health care reform battle. You can download our “Understand the Abortion Mandate” chart to see how all the health care reform bills currently in Congress would mandate abortion funding.
Also available is our special pro-life analysis of the Capps Amendment, showing how the amendment, which has been touted by abortion advocates as a “compromise,” would actually mandate abortion coverage and allows federal funding to go to private insurance plans that cover abortion. And of course, much more information is available on AUL Action’s web site, RealHealthCareRespectsLife.com.
P.S.S. You can follow me on Twitter and Facebook, and follow AUL on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. We're also reachable by e-mail at info@aul.org.
FACT BOX: Abortion is in Health Care Reform
All five committees of jurisdiction defeated amendments that would have expressly excluded abortion funding and coverage.
Here you can learn how abortion funding and coverage will be allowed if Congress doesn’t pass an amendment that would explicitly exclude abortion in health care reform:
H.R. 3200 (through the Capps Amendment)
* Mandates abortion coverage in the public health care plan;
* Mandates that at least one private insurance plan within a geographic area provide abortion coverage;
* Allows individuals to apply their affordability credits (government subsidies) to private plans that cover abortion.
The Senate Finance Committee
* Requires the taxpayers to spend $6 billion establishing co-ops that could cover abortion;
* Would also enable individuals to receive refundable, advanceable tax credits to purchase health insurance that covers abortion;
* Mandates that at least one private insurance plan within a geographic area provide abortion coverage.
The Senate HELP Committee
* Mandates minimum coverage for "inpatient, outpatient and preventive services," categories that courts have previously interpreted to include abortion services. Planned Parenthood v. Engler (6th Cir. 1996);
* Includes an amendment by Sen. Mikulski (D-Md.) that will require insurers to cover “essential community providers…that serve predominantly low-income, medically under-served individuals,” which includes Planned Parenthood, thereby allowing additional federal funding of abortion.
* For more information, please see our legal team's analysis at RealHealthCareRespectsLife.com.
Please forward this e-mail to three friends and family to help them understand the role of abortion in health care reform.

You can download our “Understand the Abortion Mandate” chart to see how all the health care reform bills currently in Congress would mandate abortion funding.
Also available is our special pro-life analysis of the Capps Amendment, showing how the amendment, which has been touted by abortion advocates as a “compromise,” would actually mandate abortion coverage and allows federal funding to go to private insurance plans that cover abortion. And of course, much more information is available on AUL Action’s web site, RealHealthCareRespectsLife.com.

FACT BOX: Abortion is in Health Care Reform
All five committees of jurisdiction defeated amendments that would have expressly excluded abortion funding and coverage.
Here you can learn how abortion funding and coverage will be allowed if Congress doesn’t pass an amendment that would explicitly exclude abortion in health care reform:
H.R. 3200 (through the Capps Amendment)
* Mandates abortion coverage in the public health care plan;
* Mandates that at least one private insurance plan within a geographic area provide abortion coverage;
* Allows individuals to apply their affordability credits (government subsidies) to private plans that cover abortion.
The Senate Finance Committee
* Requires the taxpayers to spend $6 billion establishing co-ops that could cover abortion;
* Would also enable individuals to receive refundable, advanceable tax credits to purchase health insurance that covers abortion;
* Mandates that at least one private insurance plan within a geographic area provide abortion coverage.
The Senate HELP Committee
* Mandates minimum coverage for "inpatient, outpatient and preventive services," categories that courts have previously interpreted to include abortion services. Planned Parenthood v. Engler (6th Cir. 1996);
* Includes an amendment by Sen. Mikulski (D-Md.) that will require insurers to cover “essential community providers…that serve predominantly low-income, medically under-served individuals,” which includes Planned Parenthood, thereby allowing additional federal funding of abortion.
* For more information, please see our legal team's analysis at RealHealthCareRespectsLife.com.

Dear Friend,
We need your help. I wanted to give you an update on where we stand on fighting abortion in health care reform and let you know what we can do together in this tough battle. This week, the Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Montana) will report the latest health care bill out of committee, becoming the fifth Committee to reject language like the Hyde Amendment that would prevent federal funding and coverage of abortion..
The Baucus bill is completely unacceptable to pro-lifers. It requires the government to spend $6 billion establishing co-ops that could cover abortion. The bill would also enable individuals to receive refundable, advanceable tax credits to purchase health insurance that covers abortion, and require at least one plan in each premium rating area to cover abortion.
As I told President Obama’s top domestic aides at AULA’s White House meeting last month, only an explicit exclusion of abortion funding and coverage, can prevent administrative agencies and the courts from mandating abortion funding and coverage in health care legislation.
The abortion lobby keeps saying the Hyde Amendment takes care of our concerns: but the Hyde Amendment is attached to each year’s Medicaid funding bill and doesn’t apply to the new proposals.
Even worse, when an amendment like the Hyde Amendment was proposed last week by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), it was defeated by a vote of 10-13. The Committee also defeated an amendment by Sen. Hatch that would have prevented discrimination against any individual or organization that refused to provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions.
Next, the Senate Finance Committee bill will be reconciled with the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee (HELP) health care reform bill in the Senate backrooms, while the House reconciles the amendments added in three different Committees to the House bill (H.R. 3200).
At this key moment in health care reform, your senators and congressman are hearing confusing rhetoric about abortion funding and coverage as debate moves from committee rooms to backrooms. They are being told by the Democratic leadership that the Capps Amendment added to H.R. 3200 and incorporated into the Senate Finance Bill is a pro-life compromise, when in reality it is a pro-abortion approach in disguise. You need to tell your congressman that the “Capps Amendment approach” is NOT a compromise and that only putting Hyde in Health Care will be acceptable.
We must fight for every last vote to get an absolute exclusion of abortion coverage and funding. This new administration has talked a lot about transparency, and Congress continues to talk about compromise, but no pro-life members of Congress have been invited to the discussion.
Also available is our pro-life analysis of the Capps Amendment, showing how the amendment, which has been touted by abortion advocates as a “compromise,” would actually mandate abortion coverage and allow federal funding to go to private insurance plans that cover abortion. And of course, much more information is available on our Web site RealHealthCareRespectsLife.com.
Many news sources are reporting that politicians are starting to fear the repercussions of offending pro-life voters especially after a new Pew Research poll shows that Americans’ support for legalized abortion has dropped dramatically since President Obama took office. You can make a difference by letting your elected representatives know you are among the millions of Americans who believes that “Real Health Care Respects Life.”
Thank you for all your support during this extremely busy time as we work to show Congress and all Americans that “Real Health Care Respects Life”!
Later this week, we’ll be sending you an alert about participating in “60 Against 60” so more to come!
For Life,

Learn About How the Capps Amendment is Not An Acceptable Compromise
Here are Rep. Capps’ arguments in support of her amendment, followed by AULA’s responses.
Rep. Capps: “The Capps compromise applies the current Hyde amendment to health care reform. It prohibits federal funding for abortion beyond the cases of rape, incest or life of the woman. If a health plan chooses to offer abortion coverage beyond these exceptions, it cannot use federal funds to do so.”
AULA: This statement is inaccurate. Hyde does not apply since reform would be funded outside of HHS (to which Hyde applies). Nor, is anything like Hyde part of the Capps Amendment. While the Hyde Amendment prevents any federal funds from paying for elective abortions through Medicaid, the Capps Amendment explicitly allows the Secretary of HHS to require funding for elective abortions in the public option. Furthermore, the Capps Amendment permits government subsidies to go to private health care plans that cover elective abortion. While participating health care plans are supposed to “provide assurances” that no federal funds are used directly to pay for abortions, that does not change the fact that federal dollars are going to plans that cover elective abortions.

COVENANT & THE BLOOD
Covenant & The Blood
Difference of the Old & New Covenant (Testament) is the blood. The old Covenant is from animal blood. The New Covenant is from the UN-BLEMISHED LAMB OF GOD! The Lamb of God is Jesus Christ, & Jesus has the power over the world by His Blood.
We need to know what the blood of the Lamb of God worth!! So we need to ask God to show us & to reveal the power & what the Blood Covenant is worth!
Original there could not be an atonement for us & reconciliation with out some kind of shedding of blood.
Leviticus 17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, & I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.'
Blood being shed is death of a slain sacrifice for the sin of man. With the blood being sprinkled on the altar means God has accepted this vicarious death as an atonement for sin.
What it really comes down to that there is not any forgiveness or even a covenant without blood being shed.
Hebrews 9:15
And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death for the redemption of the transgression under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance
In the Old or First Covenant sin had built up before God. Now death now was needed for the redemption of sin. So the death of the Lamb of God was needed for our redemption of sins.
With the Lamb of God, bloodshed was the only way for the atonement of our sins. But the power of all sin was to be broken for ever with the Lamb of Gods blood being shed.
We now have a new covenant of redemption blood! The bloodshed had purchase & paid for the ransom from the power of sin & the law.
This transfer of property from the Old to the New is completed.
The price for our sins was paid in full by the shedding of the Lamb of God's blood.
1 Peter 1:18 - 19
18) knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,
19) but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish & without spot.
Now we have the birthright of the New Covenant life. Christ has made us free. We will begin to believe the blessed promises of a New Covenant life & to be able to walk in the blessed promise. The promise of the New Covenant life & for us to walk in that fulfilled life.

Child's Heart
I know this has been on here before but, it is so good that I did it again.
Last week, I took my children to a restaurant.. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!"
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to p ray . Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!"
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.
He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great p ray er."
"Really?" my son asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied.
Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life... He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good already."
The End
I love this story!
Please keep it moving.
Sometimes, we all need some ice cream.
I hope God sends you some ice cream today.

HR615
Subject: HR615
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan.
Congressman John Fleming has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they would force on us. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition. The process is very simple. I have done just that at: http://fleming.house.gov/index.html . Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians. Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us. Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
PLEASE!!!!
PLEASE!!!!
Contact your Senator's & Congressman's & tell them that you agree that they should take or have the SAME Medical Coverage as all of the United States Citizens!!

Dear Friend,
On Wednesday, the Senate Finance Committee’s vote of 10-13 to defeat the Hatch Amendment proved the pro-life community correct: The talk from the White House and the Congressional leadership of avoiding funding of abortions in health care is just that -- talk.
The amendment sponsored by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) would have explicitly prohibited federal funding and coverage of abortions. Also defeated by the committee was another amendment by Sen. Hatch that would have prevented discrimination against any individual or organization who refused to provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions.
So what does this mean? Since the start of the health care debate, including at our White House meeting last month, Americans United for Life Action has argued consistently that rhetorical assurances that abortion funding will not be included in health care reform are not enough. Rhetoric must be matched with action, with the addition in the bills of specific language prohibiting abortion. Since all five committees have rejected pro-life amendments which would ban abortion funding and coverage in health care, it is clear that we MUST keep questioning the gap between reality and the rhetorical assurances we are hearing from President Obama, Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi.
The AUL legal team has documented for you the facts behind their myth that the Hyde Amendment would adequately prevent federal funding and coverage of abortion in health care reform. We want you to have the facts to make it easy to speak up.
Now that committee consideration of health care reform is over, the “behind the scenes” negotiations begin. At this crucial stage, the Congressional leadership is going to be negotiating backroom deals with your legislators. Be aware that the next page in the pro-abortion playbook will be that Pelosi and Reid are going to try to make a deal like the anti-life Capps Amendment approach, which we oppose. The anti-life Capps Amendment approach is not acceptable because for the first time in history, the federal government will require that there be a health insurance plan that covers abortion in every area. Furthermore, the anti-life Capps Amendment permits federal money to go to insurance plans that cover abortion.
I assure you, we are hearing that the “deals” being discussed by Congressional Leadership on Capitol Hill are merely anti-life initiatives in the guise of ‘compromise,’ such as the Capps Amendment approach, and this will NOT protect pro-lifers from subsidizing abortion in health care reform.
This is where you come in.
YOU need to tell your congressman and senator that you will ONLY accept health care reform that includes an explicit prohibition on federal funding and coverage of abortion, much like the pro-life Stupak-Pitts and Hatch amendments that were defeated in Committees.
Thank you for all your support during this extremely busy time as we work to show Congress and all Americans that “Real Health Care Respects Life”!

HEART
Rev. Londa P HEART
Deuteronomy 5:29
'Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me & always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them & with man; yet he still lives.
Deuteronomy 30:6
"And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart & the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart & with all your soul, that you may live.

God will circumcise your heart, your children hearts, & their children hearts to love God with all their hearts & with all their souls; that you & your seeds may live. God did promise that He would put His Holy Spirit in us so we will keep His covenant.
God wants our heart to have love & to fear Him. A heart to abide in Him. Not a heart that would depart from Him. He wants our heart filled with Him & His Spirit & to dwell in His law. A heart which would delight to do His will.
Andrew Murray said:
"That the secret of the new covenant is it deals with the heart of man, in a way of divine power. It not only appeals to the heart by every motive of fear or love of duty or gratitude. But, it reveals God Himself, cleaning our heart & making it new."
God changes our heart from the harden heart, into a heart that is tender, living, & loving heart. We need out heart to be that is perfect harmony with God. To walk in that harmony. With our hearts being in perfect harmony with His statues, His heart, & is done by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
God will not turn away from us. We need to make a commitment to God. To become addicted to God & His word, the Bible. To be free & to master the heart that we will not depart from Him. To seek for the Holy Spirit teaching. And to have our heart full of joy.
Do not get into self condemnation. Just keep believing. Always keep the faith in God!. To depend fully upon Him!! Depend on Him for His omnipotence & His faithfulness. To humble ourselves & enter into the new covenant with Him. He will work in us. Also, remember that He has sent us His promise of the Holy Spirit & for us to walk in Faith.
Amen & Amen

Heart to Know God
Jeremiah 24:7
Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; & they shall be my people, & I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.
1) The root of all is very crucial that we understand that God puts His law into our hearts. God writes it in our inward parts which are our character, love, will, & life. Gods breath His very Spirit of His law; to have us as one mind & one spirit with himself.
2) Having God as OUR God! God will be our God & we will be His children. We will be devoted to Him & His will. Meditate & wait for the Holy Spirit to work.
3) A divine teaching Having a personal fellowship with God is a wonderful privilage. We are members of the New Covenant. And we are one will of knowing our God. We are not little gods running around. We do have the promise " They shall be ALL taught by the Holy Spirit & His Word.
4) Forgiveness For I will forgive their iniquity, & remember sin no more. This is a promise that are sins are blotted out & God doesn't remember them.
It sets us free from the power of sin. Opening our hearts that shows Himself in power as our God. God reveals to us His deep truths by His Holy Spirit God also reveals the mystery of Himself & His love for us.
Because Jesus Christ accomplished that has moved every obstacle. Now He has made it possible that God can write His laws on our hearts. To give us knowledge of Himself.
Let your heart be open to God. Let your heart be willing. God does promise this to us. Our hearts to be open for God to write His laws upon our hearts & come & experience His Blessings, His Promises, His Love, His Fellowship with you, His teaching us, being pardon of sin, His Spirit, Jesus, & the Holy Spirit.
Hear what God is saying to us, listen and be still. God will prove His self to you!!!
Amen & Amen
