Never give up & never quit

Dogs need 4 legs to walk…or do they? Well most of them do, but not wonder dog Faith. She was born with deformities, she only had one front leg and it had to be removed when she was 7 months because it was starting to atrophy. But thanks to the care of her adoptive owners Faith managed to survive and grow into an amazing dog. She learned to move by using only her 2 remaining legs, but, according to her owners although it was a very difficult process, it was also natural. Faith has become a star and her owners have started the With Little Faith Foundation and they travel along with their pet, spreading their faith and God’s love to as many as they can. Here’s Faith’s official site. Please, go through the pictures on this website of Faith. A wonderful over-coming story.

What Our Grandmothers & Great-grandmothers did

I know this isn't what I usually place on my blog. It is a good point. God, took the rib from the first Adam to make women. He did not take it out of his heal. And yes, I may hear from people but, that is ok. Women helped this country grow also, not just men. Our grandparents did it together and under the will of God founded this country. So, Thank you to all our grandmothers & great-grandmothers for placeing us back at the side of man & not at his feet. Where God had placed us. Rev. Londa Picard A Message for all women THIS IS MOVING. HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET.....IF ....WE EVER KNEW..... WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE This is the story of our Grandmothers and Great-grandmothers; they lived only 90 years ago.. Remember, it was not until 1920 that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote. The women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking for the vote. (Lucy Burns)And by the end of the night, they were barely alive. Forty prison guards wielding clubs and their warden's blessing went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of 'obstructing sidewalk traffic.' They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above her head and left her hanging for the night, bleeding and gasping for air. (Dora Lewis) They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her head against an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Her cellmate, Alice Cosu, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack. Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging, beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women. Thus unfolded the 'Night of Terror' on Nov. 15, 1917, when the warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists imprisoned there because they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson's White House for the right to vote. For weeks, the women's only water came from an open pail. Their food--all of it colorless slop--was infested with worms. (Alice Paul) When one of the leaders, Alice Paul, embarked on a hunger strike, they tied her to a chair, forced a tube down her throat and poured liquid into her until she vomited. She was tortured like this for weeks until word was smuggled out to the press. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/suffrage/nwp/prisoners.pdf So, refresh my memory. Some women won't vote this year because- -why, exactly? We have carpool duties? We have to get to work? Our vote doesn't matter? It's raining? Last week, I went to a sparsely att ended screening of HBO's new movie 'Iron Jawed Angels.' It is a graphic depiction of the battle these women waged so that I could pull the curtain at the polling booth and have my say. I am ashamed to say I needed the reminder. All these years later, voter registration is still my passion. But the actual act of voting had become less personal for me, more rote. Frankly, voting often felt more like an obligation than a privilege. Sometimes it was inconvenient. My friend Wendy, who is my age and studied women's history, saw the HBO movie, too. When she stopped by my desk to talk about it, she looked angry. She was--with herself. 'One thought kept coming back to me as I watched that movie,' she said. 'What would those women think of the way I use, or don't use, my right to vote? All of us take it for granted now, not just younger women, but those of us who did seek to learn.' The right to vote, she said, had become valuable to her 'all over again.' HBO released the movie on video and DVD . I wish all history, social studies and government teachers would include the movie in their curriculum I want it shown on Bunco night, too, and anywhere else women gather. I realize this isn't our usual idea of socializing, bu t we are not voting in the numbers that we should be, and I think a little shock therapy is in order. It is jarring to watch Woodrow Wilson and his cronies try to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. And it is inspiring to watch the doctor refuse. Alice Paul was strong, he said, and brave. That didn't make her crazy. The doctor admonished the men: 'Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.' Please, if you are so inclined, pass this on to all the women you know. We need to get out and vote and use this right that was fought so hard for by these very courageous women. Whether you vote democratic, republica n or independent party - remember to vote. History is being made. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/suffrage/nwp/tactics.html

Good Morning & may God Bless you this morning

Let us try this again. God woke me up at 5 AM to write on my blog. I put it off myself by writting to my sister and answering her questionar. Then when I was about done I had a power surg and lost all that I written. So, I am trying to re-write what I had written. God told me to get up and write on my blog some heart felt things. So, I hope this was as good as the first. When I write on my blog, it is what God has told me to do. I am following what He has called me to do. I am not here to comdamn anybody, I put down what God has told me to do. It isn't only for all of you, it is also for me. We are all at different areas and points in our life, so please use only what you need at that time. And maybe come back and get what you need later on for that time. I'm gonna do the same thing. God meets us where we are at the time we are. I hope that makes some sence out of that. It did for me but, I'm writting it. Ha.Ha. Remember, God is our Father and as a Father He picks up His children when we fall down and cleans us off the dirt and wipes away our tears. Sets us back up on our feet and watches us to make sure we don't fall again. And as any child we ask & confess we have fallen, done wrong, ect... ect... He's a just Father and He is there to forgive us. When I fall He wipes off mountians of rocks not just dirt. God has a wonderful sence of humor and I can see Him shaking His Head at me. I love all of you and I love God!!!!!!! This is different then the first but, still gets to the same point. Please, take what you need from what I write and leave the rest. If you need the rest come on back and get it. God knows where you are, It doesn't bother Him so, it will not bother me. Because I have to do the same thing. He gives it to me. And I get what I need from different sources also. In Christ Jesus Love. Pastor Londa

Why God #3

Now that you have learned the answer to Why God in Why God 1 & 2. We now need to take a little bit more. Useing the Bible & saying It Is Written. Another thing that we must do is follow what the Word of God says. One big one is: Mark 11:25-26 25) "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that you Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26) "But if you don not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses". Colossians 3:12-17 Put on the new man Therefore, as the elect of God, holy & beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long suffering; 13) bearing with one another, & forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14) But above all these things, put on love, which is the bound of perfection. 15) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; & be thankful. 16) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching & admoishing one another in psalms & hymns & spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 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. Praying can also have you reading the Bible to God. So, you need to Love a lot more, to forgive a lot more. To Love & Forgive is what God has asked us to do. I know sometimes it's hard to forgive & then Love that person who has wronged you. You need help and asking God to help you do that. I know because when I was a child things happen to me and I had to forgive & love. Also, I had as an adult thing that was wrong done to me. Yes, it's very hard to forgive & love. And the devil still trying to bring it up. And I just tell him that I have chosen to love & forgive that person or persons. Plus, I tell him (the devil) to go talk to God about it as it was given over to Him (God). We need to forgive and if we do; we will follow even more what God tells us to do. Such as: to help & feed the poor, spread the Word. God tells us to believe, to have faith, to be patience, to love God & others. Useing the Fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-26 Fruit of the Spirit 22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23) gentelness, self-control. Against such there is not law. 24) And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions & desires. 25) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.26) Let us NOT become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. 1 Timothy 1:5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, & from sincere faith, 1 Peter 4:8-9 8) And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins." 9) Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. 1 John 4:12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, & His love has been perfected in us. We have learned forgiveness & love. We need to apply this to our lives & have His love perfected in us. We also need to learn thankfulness, praise, & give thanksgiving. We want to be in the present of God. Talking with Him, giving Him thanks, even reading His Word to Him. That would be His promises to us. Psalm 95:2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. Psalm 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with prise. Be thankful to Him, & bless His name; Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer & supplication, with thansgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 1 Timothy 4:4-5 4) For every creature of God is good, & nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5) for it is sanctified by the word of God & prayer We need our requests be made known to God. Just as you would ask your earthly dad about things, you need to make known (ask) to God your requests. Read the Word to HIM. Ask Him! He tells us to. So, what are you going to do? Obey, what God has told us to do. We need to forgive, to love, to praise, & to give thanksgiving to Him. Also He tells us to make our requests be made known to Him. That isn't much. Just add this to your defeating the devil. Remember It Is Written & know that it is written that Jesus Christ already defeated the devil. Enter Gods gates with praise & thanksgiving. For It Is Written!! Praise you Lord; Thank you for your promises & being able to win with your Holy Word! Praise you, We love you Lord!! Amen (so, be it)

Why God #2 The Battle Begins

As Norvel Hayes says:" God left the Bible on the earth to get your thinking straightened out. If you can't follow the example of the Lord Jesus Christ you might as well hang it up, go home & get under the house. You'll never be in victory anyway." How true is that? Very much true! You have to to follow Jesus Christ example. Let us look at Matthew 4:1-11. Vs: 1-4 the first temptation - Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-4 1) Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2) And when He had fasted forty days & night, afterward He was hungry. 3) Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." 4) But He answered & said, " It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone. but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." The tempter is the devil, & the devil knew that Jesus was the Son of God & that He would be hungry (since Jesus fasted 40 days & nights). He knew! And you see in verse 4 Jesus used the word. He used Deuteronomy 8:3. Now you see the battle starts right after the Holy Spirit comes upon Him. And yes, that is the way the devil operates. The devil is there to steal our salvation. To steal the Word, & to steal the Holy Spirit away from us. When you accept the Lord, the devil is their to try to steal your joy & to tempt you. Vs: 5-7 the second temptation - Luke 4:9-12 5) Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6) and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: (Ps. 91:11-13)He shall give His angels charge concerning you, and, In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone." 7) Jesus said to him, "It is written again, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God." Now you see the devil using the Word of God. so you know then that the Word of God has power. And again the devil try to say if Your the Son of God. The devil knew; the devil was one of the angles before the fall, so he knew The Son of God!! And Jesus used the Word right back at him. Vs: 8-11 the third temptation - Mark 1:3; Luke 4:5-8 & 13 8) Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, & showed Him all the kingdoms of the world & their glory. 9) And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down & worship me." 10) Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, & Him only you shall serve.'"(Deut. 6:13; & 10:20)11) Then the devil left Him, & behold angels came & ministered to Him. Here we are again the devil tempting Jesus. The devil is trying to give Jesus what the devil robbed from the first Adam. You see that Jesus came back with the words: IT IS WRITTEN; & used the written Word of God. So, we need to use the written Word of God to fight the devil. So say it over IT IS WRITTEN: IT IS WRITTEN say it even louder IT IS WRITTEN!!! Those are the three words you will need to fight the devil. That's the answer & you will use the rest of your life. Do you understand that? In the Bible is where all of your answers are. Whatever is written in the Bible is what you've got! Now you need faith to apply the Word of God. You have your answer. IT IS WRITTEN. For healing, for meeting your needs, blessing, God's favor, mans favor, over coming temptation, strength, ect... ect.... There are so many to have an answer to. Go to the scriptures and get what is written. Read it to God. And read it to the devil. Tell the devil you have it. Believe that you received it & you shall have it. Mark 11:24" Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, & you will have them". When was the last time you read the bible to God (for answers) and to the devil to over-come him?? If you read the Bible to the devil he will never be able to steal the patience of God away from you. And for you to possess patience is so important in your life. I mean to POSSESS it. The devil will bombard you & give all kinds of excuses why you will not receive from God. Don't let him do that. Stand Steadfast with Paience & keep saying that It Is Written and read the scripture you found for it to the devil. Tell him boldly "The Bible says I have it!! The devil will not give up easily, he didn't with Jesus, so he will not give up on you easily. The devil will try & confuse, try to mess up your mind. So, be ready. The devil only wants to steal & destroy things. He hates us because we serve God the Father, God the Son, & God the Holy Spirit. The Word of God works, the Bible works! It is written. Jesus answered all of the devil questions with It is written. Jesus used in verse 4 man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. EVERY WORD that is why you need the Word of God the Bible. Study & learn what it says & use the two edged sword. You have the answered now & you don't need to ask Why God. You know now who is behind it all. It is the devil not God doing it. So, it should be WHY devil? And we know why as he (the devil) is here to take away what God has for us & that is to kill, steal & destroy. That is all the devil knows how to do. And he uses the Word of God. The answer is: It Is Written. Use the Word of God. Keep believing the Word of God! Stand on the Word of God. You will need it. Study & keep learning! And remember each time use the words "IT IS WRITTEN"!!! IT IS WRITTEN: James 4:7-8A7) Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil & he will flee from you.8) Draw near to God & He will draw near to you. Praise God we have the answer!!! AMEN & AMEN (so be it)

Why God

When things start going bad/wrong for Christians, about 90% plus, start saying "Why God"?? Why Jesus?? Why did this happen to me God? Why did I get sick, God? Why?? If a child does something wrong; we'll say I've taught him right, he was raised to know God's word. He's been in church all his life. I taught him all about God. Why God?? Why God?? Why Jesus?? Why?? Why?? Why?? All directed at God. It isn't God that brings bad to them. God didn't have anything to do with it. Why would God or Jesus put something bad on Christians?? Or on anybody? He is not the author of sickness or death; satan is!There is one thing God cannot do & that is doing something bad. We don't have a mean God like that!! Now give credit where credit is do. Let me ask you a question or two. Has anyone ever taught you about the devil? Has anyone ever teach your children about the devil? If they have you would not be saying Why God; Why did this happen to me/us? The word of God tells you how to fight the devil. Paul tells us who the enemy is. And the emeny is the devil, satan himself. Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you nay be able to stand against the wiles (schemings) of the devil. Put the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD on! Ephesians 6:14 14) Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteusness, 15) and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16) above all taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. (satan/devil) 17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; When I was going to Kenneth E. Hagin church in Broken Arrow, you were taught to put on the Full Armor of God at the beginning of each day. I had that written on a piece of paper, that I placed on my mirrow. That a way I would see it first each day. Jesus has the perfect solution & perfect way to fight the devil. See what He (Jesus) did to fight the devil. Let's look at Matthew 4 & it tells you what Jesus actually did & how He fought the devil. He used the written word of God. There is a lot of power in the written word of God. You fight the devil the same way Jesus Christ did. How easy is that? There is nothing that the devil can do with the Word of God, NOTHING! So, you need to know the Word of God. Place it in your heart & believe what it says. Now when you claim something from God, remind God of the chapter & verse that your standing on & claim it in Jesus name. Quote the bible to God, remind God. God likes for you to quote the bible to Him, God wants you to ask Him. To go to Him in Jesus name. Claim it in Jesus name. Know your authority, your rights that God gave you! STAND of the Word Of God!!! And in the name of Jesus! God is your Father; wouldn't you ask your dad/father for things. Good things, now God knows what you need & want, but He wants you to ask. If you didn't ask your dad & He knew what you wanted. Don't you think it's still nice for him to hear it? It shows respect to him. Why would it be any different asking God the same way? Remember how Jesus always used: It Is Written. Do you understand what you need to do?? James 4:7-8A 7) Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. This would do the same thing as above, it would use the Word of God. Obeying the Word of God. And respecting God as a Father! Also, respecting Jesus as our Older Brother. We are God's family, His children. He has told us what to do. All GOOD, not evil! Satan is the evil one, filled with hate, destruction, death, and doesn't want anything nice to happen to mankind. satan has a very short time now, so satan is working harder to destroy. So, in short use the Word of God!! Use the Love of the Father. Mankind knows how to use things. So, this isn't any different. Use the manual. It will instruct you. You will get answers. The manual is the Bible. Don't give up, keep going on the Word of God. As Dora on Nemo kept saying just keep swiming, swiming, swiming. Well we need to keep believing, believing, believing, which is FAITH. If (I should say when) satan returns just say, Devil, Jesus said right here. Example: laying on of hands for healing. Mark 16 and read it to satan. And follow up with He laid his hands on me so therfore, I GOT IT! IT'S MINE. IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE THAT IT'S MINE. I HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN IT. The Scriptures have been fulfilled. Past tense! Jesus did it!! So find your promise in the ScripturesAMEN & Amen (so be it)

Muslims religion is growing faster then Christian Beliefs

Why these products matter.... a necessary introduction Muslims are increasing more than any other religious group in the world. Their growth rate is four times faster than Christians. Presently, those who practice Islam make up approximately one-fifth of the world's population. One Bible teacher from England, after reviewing the statistics, recently commented that, "if present trends continue, half of all global births will be in Muslim families by the year 2055". Something revolutionary is happening before our eyes, and most Western Christians are oblivious to it. Not only are Muslims the fastest growing religious group in the world, but also in the United States, Canada and Europe, with Europe perhaps being the model of where Canada and then the United States are heading shortly after. Any simple examination of the present birth rates of the native Europeans versus Europe's Muslim immigrant population leads us to one very clear and ominous conclusion: the Europe we have known is very quickly changing into what some refer to as Eurabia, where Europe will soon find itself under the power and control of Islam. In 1970, the developed nations (the non-Muslim majority nations of the world) had twice as big a share of the global population as the Muslim world: 30 percent to 15 percent. By 2000, they were at parity: each had 20 percent.. The salient feature of Europe, Canada, Japan , and Russia is that they are running out of babies. What's happening in the developed world is one of the fastest demographic evolutions in history. In other words, most of the developed non-Muslim nations are simply not having enough children to maintain their populations. Meanwhile, Muslims are having far more children than any other group on earth. It is only a matter of time then before many European nations are overrun by Middle-Eastern and northern African immigrants - and thus Islam. Consider the following figures: The number of Muslims in contemporary Europe is estimated to be 50 million. It is expected to double in twenty years. By 2025, one third of all European children will be born to Muslim families. Did you catch that? At present birth rates - in less than twenty years - one third of all Europeans will be Muslims! Once thriving Christian nations are literally breeding themselves ( or failing to breed) themselves into extinction. By 2050 is is estimated they will have enough voting power to influence the political direction of all European countries. Facts and figures like this can roll on and on. In the United Kingdom, Muhammad is already the most popular name for boys, In Spain, the native Spanish population is literally knocked in half every generation. The Muslim immigrant population is doubling in far less time. The result is that Spain will be majority Muslim before we know it. The same can be said for France and soon enough, for most of Europe. Consider the following statistics regarding the percentage of the population that is under the age of fifteen: Spain and Germany have 14%, the United Kingdom 18%, the United States 21% - then we have Saudi Arabia 39%, Pakistan 42% and Yemen 47%. By mid century, the tiny Muslim nation of Yemen will have a greater population than Russia, one of the largest countries in the world. It should not be hard to extrapolate the meaning of these figures. Whoever has the youth has the future. The simple fact of the matter is that within only a couple of generations - well within this century - Islam will be the majority almost everywhere. What will this mean for the next generation of Christians and is it possible all of this is leading up to exactly what the Bible predicted - a final Islamic Empire and an Islamic Antichrist. If current trends continue and Muslims do become the dominant population group in the coming decades it is important to understand just how their religious beliefs will influence our world. Traditionally, very few people in the West are familiar with the specific beliefs of Islam, especially their doctrine of eschatology or last things. These two products will challenge you to examine many of your preconceived notions about Bible prophecy and the role of Islam. As one studies and begins to understand the potential role of Islam in Bible Prophecy, many of today's current events will come clearly into focus. We highly recommend these two products as a must have for all Christians.
