BPQ

8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Neh 2:14

THE FOUNTAIN GATE: Near the Pool of Siloam.

.. ..

THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR MY MOUNT TO GET THROUGH: Because of the broken stones and debris.

.. ..

Neh 2:15

THE VALLEY: The Kedron Valley.

.. ..

Neh 2:16

THE OFFICIALS DID NOT KNOW WHERE I HAD GONE OR WHAT I WAS DOING, BECAUSE AS YET I HAD SAID NOTHING TO THE JEWS OR THE PRIESTS OR NOBLES OR OFFICIALS OR ANY OTHERS WHO WOULD BE DOING THE WORK: Another reason for Nehemiah's secrecy was probably that he wanted to formulate a plan before the Jews could marshal arguments why they could not rebuild the walls. Also, he may have suspected some of the Jews of complicity with the Samaritans (Neh 6:17-19; cp Ezr 9:2).

.. ..

Neh 2:17

Vv 17,18: When Nehemiah did present his ideas, the people responded positively. This is one evidence of Nehemiah's wisdom as a leader.

.. ..

YOU SEE THE TROUBLE...: Apparently the state of the city and the walls did not distress the residents there nearly as much as it did the newcomer! "You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see" (Rev 3:17,18).

.. ..

AND WE WILL NO LONGER BE IN DISGRACE: Jewish lethargy, apostasy, and indifference had caused Gentiles to blaspheme the God Almighty of Israel.

.. ..

Neh 2:18

LET US START REBUILDING: See Lesson, Neh: "Rise up and build".

.. ..

But the fire of trial was soon to test the quality of the building undertaken.

.. ..

Neh 2:19

SANBALLAT... TOBIAH: Cp v 10.

.. ..

GESHEM THE ARAB: "There is evidence that Geshem (cf Neh 6:1...), far from being a negligible alien, was an even more powerful figure than his companions, though probably less earnestly committed to their cause... From other sources it emerges that Geshem and his son ruled a league of Arabian tribes which took control of Moab and Edom (Judah's neighbors to the east and south) together with part of Arabia and the approaches to Egypt, under the Persian empire" (Kidner).

.. ..

THE ARAB: An Arabian community had been established by Sargon just south of Jerusalem, c 715 BC.

.. ..

ARE YOU REBELLING AGAINST THE KING?: An implied threat of another appeal to the king in Persia. Cp charges against Christ: "We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar" (Luk 23:2).

.. ..

Neh 2:20

THE GOD ALMIGHTY OF HEAVEN WILL GIVE US SUCCESS: Nehemiah continued to trust in God Almighty's enabling power primarily rather than in his own ability (cp John 15:5).

.. ..

YOU HAVE NO SHARE IN JERUSALEM OR ANY CLAIM OR HISTORIC RIGHT TO IT: Nehemiah continued the policy of not allowing the people of the land to help rebuild Jerusalem that Zerubbabel had begun (Ezra 4:3). The refusal was not simply on the grounds of their being non-Jews, but esp because of their attitudes.

The gracious hand of God Almighty is upon you. when you serve God Almighty, people will be helping you with power. If your walls are broken down, it’s time for you to go to the King. Do what God Almighty says. Be like the wise king. Shake somebody’s hand you do not know. I ask my neighbor over and over her name. no answer. Her husband says Peggy and Gerald. I'm gracious he told me. Abundant Life led 248 people to the Lord. That's very, very thrilling to me. I found the incredible worth of eternity when I had a one on One encounter encounter of God Almighty. it let me feel the amazing, astonishing, astounding, remarkable power of eternity. That's a big reason I have my eternity. Also, the morning before church, God Almighty told me why I loved the rejections so much. While it shuns me if it’s for friendship, it makes me pray if it’s about salvation. The 178 women to reject me friendship wise led me to clinical situation. Then I feel this. It’s all new. Read on. Use every, every, every, every opportunity to spread the gospel. It feels very good. I love the Spirit coming down at the time. Please pray for the 248 souls reached. Pastor Anthony will be preaching at the church of God Almighty near Citrus Park. Pastor Anthony will be preaching a second week in a row. Please pray for Pastor Anthony. Please pray for all churches around you. 7-8 preachers complimented Abundant Life especially its people. it’s chilly today. Here's the wk’s forecast 63°F | °C....

We had patterns we needed out of and fire services helped us get out of them. The disciples had to fast and pray for the power they needed. That's what helped us. I forgot to fast Friday as usual. So I fasted Saturday. Fasting and prayer gives you power. Try it. it’s how you have a breakthrough. It answered my question I had about my 178 rejections. Read on to see how. It also made a way to reach 6 people and I got a great feeling from that! Be

2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version)

14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Humility is first. Persevere. Keep on. Luke 11:9 NIV© "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

1.Ephesians 1:17

I keep asking that the God Almighty of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

You need humility. Pray. seek the face of God Almighty. when you are in love with somebody, you love to look in their eyes. You love to be around them. I pray for the people rejecting the gospel. Hosea 10:12 (New International Version)

.. ..

12 Sow for yourselves righteousness,

reap the fruit of unfailing love,

and break up your unplowed ground;

for it is time to seek the LORD,

until he comes

and showers righteousness on you.

plow your ground. Lose the shame. Lose the sin. Lose the offense Lose the transgression. Praising the Lord. Worshipping. Ministry. Hymns. Reading the Bible. Going to church. Distractions lose power. Get plowed.

Mt 18:19-20

Pray together. Get in unity. That unity makes me think of the rejections and how they turned into good for Jesus’ glory. The team with 1 vision wins. The same vision.

1 Corinthians 1:10 (New International Version)

.. ..

Divisions in the Church

10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. Jesus wants His entire family to be one. whole relations. complete relatives to be one. total people to be solitary. full folks to be together

Intact. kin to be jointly. Mutually. in concert. Collectively. Unity. The MIM-104 Patriot is a surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, the primary of its kind used by the United States Army and several allied nations. It is manufactured by the Raytheon Company of the United States. The Patriot System replaced the Nike Hercules system as the U.S. Army's primary High to Medium Air Defense (HIMAD) system, and replaced the MIM-23 Hawk system as the U.S. Army's medium tactical air defense system. In addition to these roles, Patriot has been given the function of the U.S. Army's anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system, which is now Patriot's primary mission. Get the logs together for a hotter fire. Power is with unity. Have unity. I keep thinking of better connection with Jesus. I never miss a day of reading the Bible or praying. Then I think of the many changes in direction God Almighty has given me. It hits me though they were very, very painful, they prevented horrible, awful, terrible, nasty, destruction, obliteration, annihilation, and devastation. Instead of looking at what you do not have in common, look at where you are the same. Pray for the Tampa Bay churches, all of them.

Heb 10:25

Prayerlessness. Not reading the Bible. Not going to smallgroup. Please pray for Abundant Life! When people want something bad enough, they’ll do everything they can to do it. I think of the Wright brothers and how everybody thought they were crazy. Look at Christopher Columbus. Well, there’re tons of them. If you want a relationship with God Almighty, nobody can do anything to stop you. ministering, the gospel, hymn, relationship with Jesus, church. Commitment cannot be stopped. Acts 2

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them. 5Now there were staying in Jerusalem God Almighty-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

Acts 2:38 (New International Version)

.. ..

38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you.”

Be at the prayer meeting 1550 Belcher road 9a Saturdays. You'll see that unity work. Harmony is an attraction. People fighting repels you. Psalm 133

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 How good and pleasant it is

when brothers live together in unity!

2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,

running down on the beard,

running down on Aaron's beard,

down upon the collar of his robes.

.. ..

3 It is as if the dew of Hermon

were falling on Mount Zion.

For there the LORD bestows his blessing,

even life forevermore.

Unify, unite, join, amalgamate, merge, combine, coalesce, fuse, bring together. I think of the homeless lady running from my evangelizing then how sorry for it she appeared as we left. When I saw I was asking her again, I was very, very apologetic. . One time is all I do. People will see the blessings due to your unity. That’ll be a testimony and a message. Pastor Anthony played golf in the lightening. That's how bad he wanted to play the last holes. I think of my drive before the 178 women rejected me. Before my body got so depressed. It used to be like that.

Gen 11:6

Unity will enable you to do anything. It takes commitment. The same goal. Unstoppable.. Unity.. Inexorable. Agreement. Relentless. Harmony. Inevitable. Accord. Inescapable. Unison. It starts something. God Almighty sees it. get out of your comfort zone.

Mt sixteen:18

Nothing compares to God Almighty’s defense.

It’s not about waiting on God Almighty, but our change. The face of God Almighty. God Almighty pours the Spirit out on people who persevere. If you trust God Almighty, you move from timidity to power. That reminds me of the testimony in front of about 60 people I have Saturday about Paul

Sunday school

Totally determined reaches the prize. Lesson on p. Please pray for Abundant Life! where perseverance is good. Sometimes you have to prove yourself. In times of adversity, Paul

Had to have the crew. Sometimes we do not see the homeless perspective. They're not often accepting of the gospel because of the spirit of distrust. I had 6 avoid me. It made me feel good. I kept asking, kept asking, kept asking, kept asking God Almighty why. Next morning He said because that's all I'm used to. then I realized why I'm not disappointed. Thus not slowed down or anywhere tempted to quit. Then I see what a wonderful, magnificent, superb, breathtaking gift rejection in my life is. Acts 27

Paul Sails for Rome

1When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment. 2We boarded a ship from Adramyttium about to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.

Paul

Was a prisoner. But he had God Almighty’s favor. He had perseverance. Paul

Had to prove himself in times of adversity

3The next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius, in kindness to Paul, allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs. 4From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us. 5When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia. 6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board. 7We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone. 8We moved along the coast with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.

.. ..

9Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Fast.[a] So Paul warned them, 10"Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also." 11But the y.centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship. Please pray for Abundant Life! 12Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete, facing both southwest and northwest.

We often do not have the perspective of the people going through trouble. It’s hard to understand the homeless’ feelings not being homeless like them.

The Storm

13When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had obtained what they wanted; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. 14Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the "northeaster," swept down from the island. 15The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along. 16As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure. 17When the men had hoisted it aboard, they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along. 18We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard. 19On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands. 20When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.

We do not have to bear the things the apostles had to bear.

21After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: "Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. 22But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. 23Last night an angel of the God Almighty whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me 24and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God Almighty has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.' 25So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God Almighty that it will happen just as he told me. 26Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island."

The apostles were violently tried by the world. Paul was a great example of perseverance. We should model after p. Please pray for Abundant Life! we shouldn't make excuses.

The Shipwreck

27On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic[b] Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land. 28They took soundings and found that the water was a hundred and twenty feet[c] deep. Please pray for Abundant Life! A short time later they took soundings again and found it was ninety feet[d] deep. Please pray for Abundant Life! 29Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight. 30In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow. 31Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved." 32So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it fall away.

Mark 16:18 (New International Version)

18they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

33Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. "For the last fourteen days," he said, "you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food—you haven't eaten anything. 34Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head." 35After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God Almighty in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat. 36They were all encouraged and ate some food themselves. 37Altogether there were 276 of us on board. 38When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.

The viper proved Paul. Please pray for Abundant Life! he was supposed to be dead. Things people say shouldn't bother us. Let nothing hold you back. Persevere, persist, continue, keep at it, keep on, carry on, keep trying, stick with it.

39When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could. 40Cutting loose the anchors, they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach. 41But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf. Take every opportunity to minister people. Paul did. Paul had house arrest. He ministered people from there. Sounds familiar. Street walking I had people come to me. I'd minister them and soon reach a near soul. I didn't tarry after reception. Every day, ask God Almighty what He wants you to do. Fire services may be closed but not over. We have prayer.

.. ..

42The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping. 43But the centurion wanted to spare Paul's life and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land. 44The rest were to get there on planks or on pieces of the ship. Please pray for Abundant Life! In this way everyone reached land in safety.

.. ..

What irony! Unity and rejection. I'm finding direction from pain. I see it brings me closer to Jesus. that's better than best. I started out with remembering breaking down every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day and looking at it then taking the wrong road I took in response to that filthy day.

Bp8

Some people do not have insurance because they do not want it. They think healthy eating means healthy living. Trouble comes no matter how much you protect yourself or how many steps you take to prevent it. When the Lord needs to do something with you, the devil trembles and starts launching tests on you the devil needs to stop the plan of the Lord. Getting in the way is what it takes. Stand the test. Give Jesus time. You can wait for a delicious meal at restaurant. You can wait for something you really want. Therefore you can wait on the Sovereign God? It’s worth the wait when you wait on Jesus Christ. I want to cut the grass as Mom takes our visitors to a good fishing spot, to look at “where we can go later.” No room for me. Just Steve and Sara, Jacob and Chanse.

Leviticus 19:17-18....

Do not hate anybody in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.....

Granny had kept saying in a decade, I will not remember the lie. When I woke this morning that was on my mind. Then I thought Where was she a decade from that day? She had early stage of lung cancer. Soon receiving chemo, soon dying. The best cook anybody’s ever met. Everybody agreed. I could focus on the bad done, or I could focus on the good that should've been done and how I should model myself after that. Yes, Jesus will bless anybody that shares my Bible Paper blog. [View All Blog Entries] Nehemiah 9:17....

They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore you did not desert them,....

But I have to be a testimony in the face of conflict. Let bygones be bygones. Get yourself together. See what you learn from conflict. What good is a lesson if you do not learn from it? You do not have to be perfect to be a perfect parent. I heard that on TV and thought of my ministry and desire to be better for it. to be more committed. To share my thoughts more clearly. You can find different Windows updates in different places. Psalm 7:11....

God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his wrath every day.....

.. ..

You get updated in different places. You hear convicting things to give you a new perspective to make you a better Christian. Stuff annoys you to smooth out your rough edges. You have to be altered from the things you are used to. After living in rehab for years, I had to get used to not having immediate doctor analysis for any matter. Like my depressed body. But I know that's not how things work. It’s never just 1 thing. The depressed body is connected to my humility with rejections is connected to my being turned off is connected to my prayer in mid 90s is connected to my drive is connected to my heredity is connected to my family tree is connected to my apple falling near the trunk is connected to my DNA is connected to Dad’s seed is connected to my genes. See? I can look at 1 bothersome thing, but I'm forgetting the law of relativity. And I actually like not having a drive 1b times more than having 1. The guy who beat up the bully after my brother’s sister facebooked she liked my attitude and I said a lot of reason for it is on my myspace homepage.

Psalm 4:4....

In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.....

.. ..

That was something I'd prayed for, got, and then worried. What a beautiful blessing! I HATED my earlier drive! HATED! HATED! HATED! HATED! HATED! It lowered my standards and left me totally unfulfilled. Know the flesh knows when you are unfulfilled and lays your eyes on just what it wants and just what you do not need. on my mind. I woke with Granny and her lie then cancer then death. She died in ‘04, but Dad died in ‘99. Her firstborn. Psalm 30:5....

Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.....

.. ..

She said there’re no words to describe that kind of pain. So I told her to a kid taking 10 years of ridicule for good grades, it seems like the same thing. As a matter of fact, when you are in high school and something bad happens, it seems utmost horrible, greatest horrifying, highest awful, extreme terrible, chief nasty, supreme atrocious and horrible ghastly. As you grow older, you learn the devil's threats are hot air. When I was told a promise was a dream by the people I trusted, I had the same kind of reaction. Got revenge by breaking a promise too. ....

Psalm 37:8....

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.....

Becoming an alcoholic. Going out of a window. When you are stubborn, you have rough edges. Almost ninety-percent of children, said stats on the Web, in adulthood do not get along with their parents. Start thinking about repairing the relationship. That’ll take always telling the truth to one another, keep the lines of communication open, be sensitive to each other's feelings, respect one another, despite differences in opinions, do not hold on to the past or judge their decisions, we all make mistakes, and each slip-up provides an opportunity for a life lesson.

Remain always true to Jesus. live the truth. Celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ. You Crazy Lunatics! was a book I wrote about trouble being the reason a case was solved. I let troubles make me rash. My aunt on Dad’s side wide open crashed into a tree out of anger for her husband. The steering wheel went through her legs. Now she has a steel rod in 1. maybe 2. Dad ODd and dove into a tie wall-wall. Uncle broke the recliner foot . One time. temper tantrum. My brother got locked out, broke in, stole and sold the guns, broke his parole, and ran from the law. And I heard about Papa’s exploding on the concrete man for running over his drop cord. Plus his nose was broken countless times from fighting. Mine? 5, Kevin, Jason, Shane, and Gary. Plus my face crushed in the wreck. Oh yeah, when college put me in four overwhelming, overpowering, overbearing classes. classes & then told me to pick 1 or all to drop, i only needed 1. pc class. stuff on the tests never before studied!. Everybody agreed! Teacher kept saying take quarter again because he used the same tests. Computers weren't my major!!!! They said they couldn't get permission from my parents. my parents said they were never asked!!!! I violently, harshly, with all my might head butted a concrete wall. my already studied out head was throbbing in pain 3 days! Studying all day and night for weeks and anger and disbelief. I taught myself, us, a lesson. Remain always rational. All the studying had distanced God Almighty. That's exactly what it was. Jesus was neglected from the studying. So the lie helped me learn a lesson! ....

Praise the Lord for technology! The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord. Psalm 32:10 Christianity gives you a perspective that makes trouble powerless. If you are rash with trouble, you are doomed. Justin ran from the law till suicide. If you have trouble, facing it is the best thing you can do. I'm preaching to my youth. Hindsight shared could help you. but nothing will help you if you do not take it. ....

Proverbs 15:18....

A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel.

You cannot see the bone damage or scars, Hallelujah! It may not be important, but it brought a change to my life as far as values go. Who will be left behind? I just looked out of the window. Saw the mailman coming! UGH! I forgot my mail! I ran it out and he turned around as he always does to get the mail on the other side! That's why I'm fasting! It’s to a possible publisher. Please pray for satisfactory return. That's another reason to fast. I think I'm happy, but I think of other needs I have. Over a hundred books need an editor, with fashion, with trend, with news headlines, with tastes, with weather pattern. It takes a layout of things to have a best seller. You Crazy Lunatics hasn't sold well at all. But the listed conditions are what could change that completely. Please pray for that to be in order and the result to be unregretful. Please pray for Abundant Life ministries. God Almighty spoke to me about asking girls out that are too good for me. ALL of them. If He had said I wasn't good enough for them, that'd be altogether offensive. But it’d take good communication to read that. If you have bad communication with Jesus, you hear only the things you want to. people are using cell phones to steal personal data. More people are rolling up their sleeves to get the swine flu vaccine. Please pray this thing ends. Please pray for Barack. No matter how against him you are Barack Obama will always needs prayer. He is facing things most people will never face. Please pray Barack Obama isn’t impatient. I wanted Barack Obama to do better than any President we ever had. But this is sad: The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 29% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -12 Please pray Barack Obama changes that all around. And never gets impatient. ....

Proverbs 16:32....

Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city. Barack Obama has a lot think about. It’s why Barack Obama needs your prayer. Your leader needs prayer. He got in office to lead you, but if he goes against the Bible, do not go by him. be always alone if that's the only way you can be moral. If you are among a lot of immoral friends, the best thing for you to do is leave them. If somebody is rude to you, the flesh wants you to fight them to pervade God Almighty’s plan. Sometimes when you are defending yourself, it’s only hurting you. pay your fees. When I was slinging people against the lockers and putting them in their place, teachers would walk away because I was protecting my little brother and they had his punishment to see to. the important thing is the most significant. They were subliminally showing that. Justin had been fighting and he was the 1 to start it. I should've let it go. But he was my blood. When he and Gary were fighting, Gary was a lot bigger than me and fists started swinging. Justin had been taunting Gary with his headphones on. When people told Gary what he was nodding to, he started swinging. So did I. Then he slung Justin away and our fists were swinging. The driver soon tore us apart. After suspension, we thought it was hilarious. I should've pulled Justin away right when the fighting started and nobody would be suspended. Hindsight sees 20-20. use hindsight to make yourself better. The reason it was so infuriating is when stepdad was abusing Justin, I always swore I'd NEVER let that happen when I got big. I was about 14. It was 5 years later. Is that moral? Is living together before marriage moral? Do rewarding things happen for being immoral? In other words, if you see bad beginning in your life, end it immediately. ....

Proverbs 17:14-15....

The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts. He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.....

John 15:22-33

22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23He who hates me hates my Father as well. 24If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.'[a]

.. ..

26"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. 27And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

.. ..

Jesus very often explained His leaving. They didn't listen. When this came upon them, there was no denying it. They didn't understand Jesus’ dying. Though He said it over and over. (Like food commercials when you're fasting!) They figured He'd soon be back. Everybody currently hears how near Jesus is returning and do not accept that. They think they have time. Nobody knows when their time is up. I keep thinking of when I was saying over and over and over and… my doctor was a hustler. Nobody believed any till he left my shunt a quarter inch from where it needed to be! Today there were two mass killings. Orlanda and Texas army base. You just know you are here today. Jesus wants to leave peace. The world leaves tumult. Obey the Bible to get the most peace. To get what you need. Seek out your own salvation. We’re all weak. You may have the best intentions but nobody sees that. You need to be with God Almighty. God Almighty chose the disciples. They were asked to follow. They did from that point. Repent is change. You do not have to change. God Almighty will be changing you. Ask God Almighty to change you. We think we’re in control of everything. Wrong. Give God Almighty your problems. Out of revenge, I started drinking. Broken promise for a broken promise. I prayed. But when it didn't work, I took off my seatbelt and driver fell asleep. Hit ditch. 6 month coma dried me out. Just what I needed. You have to tell God Almighty you tried it on your own and cannot do it without Him. Your full character isn't changed at 1 time. You have to ask God Almighty to help you with your character defects. The Lord can work it all out. … I just went street walking. King Plaza. Reached only 2 people already saved. Did prayer. Very gracious I was doing what I'm doing. Volunteered to pray for me. I said sure. What? I said my ministry to reach millions and my books at publishers. The Holy Spirit came upon the disciples. There was no denying it. In Jesus’ day, they didn't understand it. Jesus said so many different way He will be leaving. He will be leaving. He will be leaving. They still didn't accept it. After you leave your past, you have to stop yourself when you see your old you popping up. Sometimes you are not aware of how you are. Start from the bottom up.

John 4:22-35

22You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

.. ..

25The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."

.. ..

26Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he."

.. ..

The Disciples Rejoin Jesus

27Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

28Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29"Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ[a]?" 30They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

.. ..

31Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something."

.. ..

32But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

.. ..

33Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?"

.. ..

34"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

Only Jesus can put different people together and make them work together for the common cause.

Acts 2:1-4

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

Jesus does the most unexpected things. Simon is in charge of play time. No matter what, we have to keep a sense of humor. They had somebody in charge of relaxation. Judas was the 12^th apostle. A good thinker isn't always an honest thinker.

John 12:2-8

2Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3Then Mary took about a pint[a] of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

.. ..

4But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 5"Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages.[b]" 6He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.

.. ..

7"Leave her alone," Jesus replied. " It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."

A years wage seemed to be wasteful. The world sees tithes wrongly. It’s not our job to decide what the church does with its money. In what the church is doing, period. People complaining are usually the ones not paying their tithes.

Matthew 26:13-30

13I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."

.. ..

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

14Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests 15and asked, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" So they counted out for him thirty silver coins. 16From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.

The Lord's Supper

17On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"

18He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.' " 19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

.. ..

20When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21And while they were eating, he said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me."

.. ..

22They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, "Surely not I, Lord?"

.. ..

23Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. 24The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."

.. ..

25Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?"

Jesus answered, "Yes, it is you."[a]

.. ..

26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."

.. ..

27Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28This is my blood of the[b] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom."

.. ..

30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Keep your enemies closer than your friends.

John 3:18-21

18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.[a] 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."[b]

Jesus keeps telling what will happen ahead of time.

Matthew 26:21-25

21And while they were eating, he said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me."

.. ..

22They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, "Surely not I, Lord?"

.. ..

25Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?"

Jesus answered, "Yes, it is you."[a]

They were in lala land. All call Jesus Master or Teacher. Not Judas. Rabbi. Was Judas saved? We’ll be seeing people in heaven we least expected to see there. I really nod. When I had a one on One encounter of God Almighty, I came back with that same realism. People you thought certain would be in heaven will not be there. You see Subtle things like this. Most Jews were tired of Roman rule. The Teachings of Jesus "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him" [-] we think we’re in control. Judas believed if Jesus is the Messiah, He would stop the trickery. He hung himself after he lived with Jesus 3 years. He betrayed Jesus in a most intimate way. He’d already decided he would betray Jesus. He didn't partake of the wine.

John 13:26-30

26Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon. 27As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.

.. ..

"What you are about to do, do quickly," Jesus told him, 28but no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. 29Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the Feast, or to give something to the poor. 30As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.

: John 4

"To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 'Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: "God Almighty, I thank you that I am not like other men-robbers, evildoers, adulterers-or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get." But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, "God Almighty, have mercy on me, a sinner. I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God Almighty. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted"'" Jesus keeps saying He is leaving and they do not believe Him. Judas sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. The price of a dead slave.

Matthew 27:3-10

3When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. 4"I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood."

"What is that to us?" they replied. "That's your responsibility."

.. ..

5So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

.. ..

6The chief priests picked up the coins and said, "It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money." 7So they decided to use the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. 8That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "They took the thirty silver coins, the price set on him by the people of Israel, 10and they used them to buy the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

They do not want the blood money.

A cts 1:18-19

18(With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

Did he hang himself? They threw him. His guts fell open. Judas was dead. They used his money.

f Philip knew neither Latin or Greek was he an illiterate?

Why is Philip so annoying? He orders the captain and passengers around.

Did the wind arise on account of Philip's prayer? Or did it arise because of the Jews blashemy?

Where was the boat bound at high speed? Carthage. What did the Romans do to Carthage?

Why does Philip's Christian Angel bind a Jew by the big toes from the top sail in a gale force wind?

Why does a Christian angel slay 40 Jewish priests?

.. ..

2) TAOPATTA (NHC 6.1): The Acts of Peter and the (11, 12 or was it 13?) Apostles

.. ..

Why does Jesus cite the Bhagvad Gita at Nag Hammadi 6.1? The central figure of the story NHC 6.1 entitled "The Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles" is an enigmatic "Pearl Merchant" called Lithargoel. Every single Christian commentator on the planet at the moment (I know of no exceptions) wishes to identify this Lithargoel with Jesus. If so, when Lithargoel is asked the name of the city which houses the :Pearl of great Price" he says that the city is called "Nine Gates" He said to me, "This is the name of my city, 'Nine Gates.' The embodied (Soul) who has controlled his nature having renounced all actions by the mind dwells at ease in the City of Nine Gates, neither working nor causing work to be done. --- Bhagvad Gita 5:13 The better explantion for this is that the author is not presenting Lithargoel as Jesus at all. The apostles in their utter ignorance have mistaken Lithargoel for this Jesus character. Lithargoel is presented as the standard healer such as the therapeutae of Asclepius, equipped with medicne pouch and apprentice physician. On the other hand, every single line of the story which relates to the apostles casts the apostles as inept and ignorant, fearful and not as "traditional ascetics". The fact of the matter is that the apostles cannot even count, since how many were there? The title TAOPATTA suggests 13. The apostolic tradition (which is being IMO satirised) suggests 12. The text has Peter saying there were 11 apostles who PROSTRATED THEMSELVES in the oriental fashion in favor with Constantine. We are dealing with another satire. Exactly the same invective as Julian's satire against Constantine and Jesus.

Acts 1:25-26

25to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs." 26Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.

Psalm 109:8

8 May his days be few;

may another take his place of leadership.

.. ..

"'Have faith in God Almighty,' Jesus answered. 'I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea," and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins'" (Mark 11:22-25).

.. ..

"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:13-14).

Pride goes before destruction, and a stiff spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18 I love Extreme Home Makeover because they're building nice homes for good people in need. It pleases my missionary spirit. They do for the people who worry more for others than for themselves. As I slept late from proofreading 27 pgs yesterday. I was sooo tired. But when I woke, I realized I never had a neighbor I didn't fight. Barry by the stop ahead sign. Jack in his back yard. Chad in my backyard. Devon in the yard by the ballast pit. Christopher in the pines in the ballast pit. Those were all started when I was taking up for myself. Also, boys are always fighting because of their hormones. I definitely, definitely, definitely had those in my early 20s. so I completely prayed them off. God Almighty thoroughly blessed me there. 179 females turning me down gave m a perspective change. I saw how much better I connect with God a bachelor. Exodus 28:28 The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.Exodus 28:27-29 [-] When you have prayers answered, you're glad for a connection with God. I prayed to remember fast Friday. fast on Friday. Yesterday I proofread ALL day. Broke a record. But still have a headache from it. As my head throbs, I ponder fasting. Then I realize I fast today! Praise the Lord! It creates such a beautiful connection with Jesus! 2.Exodus 39:21 They tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband so that the breastpiece would not swing out from the ephod—as the LORD commanded Moses. [-] Here's another example of connection and blessing. I went to mail in a book. But couldn't get online. Then I remembered after much trying I haven't grammar checked the document! The blank thinking is because of the very, very tired brain! But Jesus made up for that in honor of me! Praise the Lord! please pray for the* book I just mailed to the publisher. I had a dream to be a writer since my third grade year. Private/Christian School. That teacher slapped me in the face and I was therefore put in a public school. Please pray for Mom’s job. As I write, one of her loan officers has a husband in a car in the garage, engine running, threatening to kill himself. Even though you have a connection with God doesn’t mean other people have a connection with God. the more you feed your connection, the greater power you have. 3.Leviticus 3:3 From the fellowship offering he is to bring a sacrifice made to the LORD by fire: all the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them, Leviticus 3:2-4 [-] True, my depressed body made my drive go away and interest too, or decrease, let's be honest, but it’s an unrelenting reminder of how desperate my prayer to lose the girl crazy bearing is very well remembered. I was so girl crazy I desperately prayed to lose it and did I ever! When you have prayers answered, you'll get reminders that resonate in your head. When you hear testimonies, your faith in Jesus will increase. Life is unfair. Stuff that happens can drive you crazy. Especially if you put a lot of value in the world. That's why you need a greater connection with Jesus. Mom’s main loan officer is the 1 going through the trouble. Please pray about the problem with her. she's a mortgage processor. When I ponder moving to the Georgia house, I first feel fret. But then I think of the 152 Tampa Bay women to reject me. Then the move is made more easy. When you have a connection with Jesus, you learn to ponder both sides. The devil wants you to lean his way alone. That's because he cannot and will never bless you like God. 4.Leviticus 3:9

From the fellowship offering he is to bring a sacrifice made to the LORD by fire: its fat, the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, all the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them, [-] Mom’s worries with work are growing. I told her I'd ask you to pray and assured her she'll see the effect. That makes me a better witness. Hence by being a better witness, I have a better effect. I plant more seeds. Everybody should pursue that gift. When I heard about a witness winning thousands of souls to heaven with the Sinners’ prayer, I thought of how greatly I'd love to be like that. 5.Leviticus 3:14 From what he offers he is to make this offering to the LORD by fire: all the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them [-] 6.Leviticus 4:8 He shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them, [-] The pressure in the workplace, especially mortgage, has thoroughly grown. Life in general is unfair and pressurized. Back when I wanted to date and kept getting rejected I learned rejections aren't as bad as they look. But my body thought different. Again, you have to remember I was praying for just what I got. Now with Mom looking at problems with work, I think of the ties to the world making life harder on you. her work is something she has to do. When you put a lot of value in anything other than Jesus, you are distancing Him. The farther Jesus is from you, the worse things will be. Please pray for Mom’s loan officers. Ill update you on the husband currently threatening to commit suicide. Just believe and have faith in Jesus’ name. you'll see something reviving! 7.Numbers 18:7

But only you and your sons may serve as priests in connection with everything at the altar and inside the curtain. I am giving you the service of the priesthood as a gift. Anyone else who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death."

This is a character in a book I wrote thinking this. Jesus told me to paste it here for some unknown reason. Psychiatrist Harry Bloomfield agrees with these findings, adding that almost ninety-percent of children in adulthood do not get along with their parents.

Elijah Fed by Ravens

1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe [a] in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the Lord God Almighty of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word."

2 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: 3 "Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have ordered the ravens to feed you there."

.. ..

5 So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

.. ..

The Widow at Zarephath

7 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 8 Then the word of the LORD came to him: 9 "Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food." 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, "Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?" 11 As she was going to get it, he called, "And bring me, please, a piece of bread."

12 "As surely as the LORD your Lord God Almighty lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die."

.. ..

13 Elijah said to her, "Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the LORD, the Lord God Almighty of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD gives rain on the land.' "

.. ..

15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah.

.. ..

17 Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing. 18 She said to Elijah, "What do you have against me, man of Lord God Almighty? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?"

.. ..

19 "Give me your son," Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed. 20 Then he cried out to the LORD, "O LORD my Lord God Almighty, have you brought tragedy also upon this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?" 21 Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried to the LORD, "O LORD my Lord God Almighty, let this boy's life return to him!"

.. ..

22 The LORD heard Elijah's cry, and the boy's life returned to him, and he lived. 23 Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, "Look, your son is alive!"

.. ..

24 Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of Lord God Almighty and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is the truth."

.. ..

7 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Dry. It was similar to our economy. Dry is deficit. Meaning empty. I keep thinking of my pity & the 180 women to reject me & my being told how to, by Lord God Almighty, use that constructively. In class, I was asked how am I. I said joyously jubilant. They asked did you get married. I said no, actually number 181 rejected me today. I offered Mom’s boss a massage and she declined. That means no more trying by me. 1 chance is all they get. Hence, Lord God Almighty is letting it happen for a reason. dehydrated, dried out, dried up, desiccated. I see connection. Do not be afraid. Lord God Almighty is a deliverer. I'm glad I showed Pastor Dave my bankrupt wallet now. All my cards fell out with my credit card. Then I show Billy in the sound booth. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty. I think of the Lord telling me better direction after fasting and my finding I was on the path of destruction before it, now I see where I need to change. My doctor charged 3 hundred dollars to say I had a depressed body. If you empty yourself in worship of Lord God Almighty, He will fill you up with what you need. I worship, adore, love, revere, adulate, deify, pray to, and venerate Lord God Almighty when I hear that. Do not have fear in hard times. After I read the parable about Joseph in the well in 98, I made worshipping Lord God Almighty in my free time a big habit. So I guess I’ll be making it a bigger habit. Your giving to the Lord marks His provision to you. worship the Lord with all your heart. This reminds me of what I told Steve this morning. When my brother was kicked out, his gf got pregnant by somebody and stayed with him. my brother was devastated. I told him if he’d stayed with her, he’d feel worse than he did then. Justin was very accepting of that and I was a minister.

John 4:23

Instead of telling your needs, Praise the Lord. holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty. Worship the King of kings. I'm counting on Lord God Almighty. miracle of Christ in me. Touch the prison next to you. pray for them. Speak in the authority of Jesus.

rom 2:4

we’re fitly joined to Jesus. head of Christ is like the body. Like the human body each part is significant. Everything you are Lord God Almighty made you. each part is significant. Oh, like the 181 women to turn me down and medically turn me off. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Ephesians 4

Unity in the Body of Christ

1As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one Lord God Almighty and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

7But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 8This is why it[a] says:

"When he ascended on high,

he led captives in his train

and gave gifts to men."[b] 9(What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions[c]? 10He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 11It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12to prepare Lord God Almighty's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of Lord God Almighty and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

.. ..

14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. 15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. 16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. [-]

We need to do everything to serve Jesus. our marriage concerned. Oh, that's why Jesus is letting me get rejected like hotcakes! LOL, just like I told Steve my brother’s gf getting a new boyfriend was easier than if they'd stayed together! Praise the Lord! I'm so glad He is giving me answers! My ministry has eternity greatly in mind. Eternity was an emphasis in my Private/Christian College elementary school. Pastor Anthony gets a vision of cold people and our worshipping the Lord leading to their sustenance. Worship is the key to the Lord’s provision. Touch the person next to you. pray for them. Speak in the authority of Jesus. the brain tells what body parts to move. That especially speaks to me. As I lay in a coma, the doctor told my family likely when I woke my brain wouldn't be tell parts of my body how to work. It did bruise my visual and speech nerve. Jesus is the brain. We’re fitly joined together. Even the people you most question. Everything you are Lord God Almighty made you. every part significant. Pray with your spouse everyday. If you forget, call her and do it. marriage is falling apart like it is. 1 body, 1 soul, 1 mind, 1 Spirit, 1 Lord God Almighty, 1 faith, 1 baptism. Jesus descended to hell Hades took the keys. Jesus made a spectacle of the devil. Everybody bowed to Jesus and said He is the King. Romans 12

6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his[b]faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

Ephesians 4:15 (New International Version)

.. ..

15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.

Difficult people have you suffering to make you stronger and more patient. That explains a lot. Or you'd be lazy. 16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah.

.. ..

24 Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of Lord God Almighty and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is the truth."

Say something nice to somebody right now. Build them up. Speak the truth in love. What is your ministry? If no, you need to find it. take class 301. find what you are passionate about. Fill out the card in your bulletin. Love and truth are like sodium and chlorine. Salt. Without love turns people away from the Gospel. 15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family.

Rigor and vigor are needed. Church is as organized as the body of Christ. The church depends on the head. Month of Spiritual renewal. It had an impact. I know it did on me. Lord God Almighty telling me the women I asked out are too good for me and if they rejected me, do not ask them out again. After He said that, I felt greatly joyous! Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of Lord God Almighty, then the kingdom of Lord God Almighty is come unto you.

35A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

38Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

.. ..

39But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

.. ..

40For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

.. ..

41The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

42The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

.. ..

45Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

.. ..

46While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

.. ..

47Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

.. ..

48But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

.. ..

49And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

.. ..

50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

1 Corinthians 12:12-26 (New International Version)

.. ..

12The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13For we were all baptized by[a] one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

.. ..

14Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18But in fact Lord God Almighty has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

.. ..

21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But Lord God Almighty has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

Ministry- SHAPE

You have experiences to minister people better than anybody else in the world. Nobody can touch them like you. your unique gifts. It’s desperately needed. Lord God Almighty doesn’t have a way of making everybody be 1 thing. But He needs people with unique gifts. I just saw Mom’s boss walk by. She asked to go to the fax machine in my room. I said ok, but you have to go through all my stuff. She laughed and went on. In a rush as usual. I pulled out the outreach script and asked if she wanted to go to heaven. She said she already admitted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior in front of the congregation. Plus that she didn't have time. Ok. I'm just always trying to get people to heaven. Lord God Almighty has put you together for such a time as this. 18 She said to Elijah, "What do you have against me, man of Lord God Almighty? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?"

.. ..

We’re fitly joined together to be uniquely made to do unique jobs. Like musicians in a band. Some bands sell more albums because they're put together better. (Also, as I learned studying writing a decade, because of style, trend, fashion, tastes, and et cetera. Please pray for all of those to favor my books.

Ephesians 3:17-19 (New International Version)

17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of Lord God Almighty. [-]

As long as we’re in the flesh, we deal with fleshly desires. Deep and wide. Deep and wide. There's a fountain flowing deep and wide.

Under Lord God Almighty’s grace, we get back up. We cannot do it alone but in Lord God Almighty’s power. If Lord God Almighty can raise Jesus fro the dead, He can handle your problem.

the Sovereign Lord

Bp139 please pray for the persecuted church!

Mark 16:17-18 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name . . . They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." NOTE - Find someone who believes the Sovereign Lord's Word regarding healing and have them lay hands on you and pray for you in faith based on the promises of the Sovereign Lord. James 5:16 says "that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." [-]

With great fret, I saw I had a sore throat. So I looked up the pollen count and saw it’s low. So it could be the swine flu. Please pray it’s not. I workout and of course I now feel very, very, very, very good, so I thought the endorphins would run the sickness off. Please pray the Spirit chases the devil away and I do not get sick. The Lord is wonderful to have. People without Jesus think their gods fix everything only to make their problems worse in the long run. Be respectful of elders. They've been there and done that.

Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint." NOTE - The word "wait" in this verse implies a positive action of hope, based on knowing that the Word of the Sovereign Lord is a true fact and that it will soon come to pass - waiting with earnest expectation! [-] I'm soon headed home, Winder, Georgia. I think of my role model. He had the perfect nature. I greatly liked it and wished I had it. But he lied about a murder and got a decade. L. Immediate punishment seems good, but what if you execute somebody before they have time to be saved? Lots of people would like that. But they need salvation themselves. A wrist injury could knock your best player off the team, but his replacement might be better than him. Think of the rash judgment you could have before you see what would happen if the Sovereign Lord has His way. I felt my sore throat ease some after I asked you to pray for it to be gone. Please keep praying. I really appreciate your prayers. Also, please keep praying for my books’ being published. I just checked the mail and got an envelope by a publisher. But it turned out to be ads from a publisher. Please pray for a publisher to decide to publish my books. And for them to sell very, very well. Please pray Mom’s work will pay her. They owe her 4 thousand and in less than a week they’ll owe her 6 thousand dollars. Christian Role Models

as disciples, we need and lookup to Christian role models. Knowing this, we need to maintain a proper focus on role model. The reader might ask, “Why?” If we are not careful, we may find ourselves like those in First Corinthians who followed Paul, Apollos, or Cephas, instead of Jesus. Listen to your prayers, because they locate your level of spiritual maturity. Thankfulness depends on what is in your heart, not what is in your hand. And over them were three chief rulers, of whom Daniel was one; and the captains were to be responsible to the chief rulers, so that the king might undergo no loss. Then this Daniel did his work better than the chief rulers and the captains, because there was a special spirit in him; and it was the king's purpose to put him over all the kingdom. Then the chief rulers and the captains were looking for some cause for putting Daniel in the wrong in connection with the kingdom, but they were unable to put forward any wrongdoing or error against him; because he was true, and no error or wrong was to be seen in him. Daniel 6:3-5 When Christian role models are quality disciples, they have characteristics that are laudable. They make it easy to follow them. And rightly so. And every disciple needs good Christian role models to look up to. In the same letter to the Corinthians, Paul stated, “be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.”1 So how does one balance the need for having a good Christian role model against that role model becoming an idol? The balance comes by having a good Christian role model that is not a substitute for the Perfect Role Model. Always seek to please the Lord. While it appears that Paul raised himself to the level of a good role model, nowhere in Scripture does he seem to consciously allow Christians to follow him instead of Jesus. Paul states, “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”2 In application to our discussion, Paul seems to be telling us that when good Christian role models are substituted for the Perfect Role Model division and contention are the result.

.. ..

For a moment, let us consider the two-fold responsibility in this situation. First, the one looking for a good role model needs to keep their focus on the Perfect Role Model, found in Christ. And second, if it becomes known and is possible, the one who has become the role model needs to help the one being mentored to have the proper focus on the Perfect Role Model. Speaking generally about our culture, it seems far too frequent that quality role models become idols. Christians are not immune to this risk. From Paul’s writings in First Corinthians, and considering Paul’s feelings about his sons in the faith, Timothy3 and Onesimus,4 and bearing in mind Peter’s situation with Cornelius,5 we can see that neither Paul nor Peter allowed themselves to replace the Perfect Example of Christ.

.. ..

Conclusion

As we can see from First Corinthians, Paul makes it clear that Christ cannot allow His glory to be divided. Paul seems to make it clear that no matter how wonderful an example a Christian may be, they cannot replace the crucified Christ. Consequently, it does not matter how prolific a commentator, how influential a leader, how powerful a preacher, how terrific a teacher a Christian role model may be, the role model simply cannot be a replacement for Christ.6 In order for twenty-first century believers to be as Paul stated, “perfectly joined together in the same mind and … judgment” it seems that we are required to align our actions, beliefs and mannerisms with Christ and Christ alone. May the LORD bless us as we become increasingly thankful for our role models and become better followers of the Perfect Role Model.

Awareness, however, is not enough. Nurturing the development of highly gifted children requires a commitment to building support systems to help them come to terms with their prodigious abilities. That makes me think of indigenous churches and that makes me think of my missionary class.

Such support systems include appropriate educational programs; systematic affective education including social skills training and self-concept development; planned efforts in career counseling, academic counseling, and personal counseling; and supportive adults to act as role models, provide guidance, and offer understanding. Without these avenues of support, extraordinarily advanced intellectual abilities become a tremendous burden rather than the foundation for a creative and productive life.

Psalm 34:19 "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all."

.. ..

Jeremiah 30:17 "For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, saith the Lord."

.. ..

Isaiah 53:4-5 "Surely He hath borne our griefs (Hebrew: sicknesses) and carried our sorrows (Hebrew: pains) yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of the Sovereign Lord and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and by His stripes we are healed." NOTE - The last part of this verse,” by His stripes we are healed," is not talking about spiritual healing, as some have taught, but definite physical healing. the Sovereign Lord does not "heal" a human spirit, he recreates it. He does however, heal our bodies and minds. This clearly shows that your healing was paid for at the cross!

Please pray for my team to play Saturday. I’ll let you know the score.

Jeremiah 33:6 "Behold, I will bring you health and cure, and I will cure you, and will reveal unto you the abundance of peace and truth."

.. ..

Matthew 18:19 "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on Earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven." NOTE - The prayer of agreement is powerful - have someone agree with you for your healing!

.. ..

Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say to you whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." Surely this includes healing!

.. ..

Isaiah 58:8 "Thy light shall break forth as the morning, and thy health shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee: the glory of the Lord shall be thy rear guard."

.. ..

Psalm 41:3 (Amplified Version) "The Lord will sustain, refresh, and strengthen him on his bed of languishing; all his bed You [O Lord] will turn, change, and transform in his illness." NOTE - I love how the Amplified Bible brings out the fullness of meaning in the original language. The phrase "all his bed" in the Hebrew, has the meaning of; all that he is afflicted with, or all of his condition that he is lying with" It is always His will to turn, change and transform our mourning into dancing - Psalm 30:11

.. ..

1 Thessalonians 5:23 "And the very the Sovereign Lord of peace sanctify you wholly [completely]; and I pray the Sovereign Lord your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless [sound, complete and intact] unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." NOTE - It is very clear in this passage that wholeness, wellness, and health is for the complete make-up of man, spiritual, mental, and physical.

.. ..

1 Peter 2:24 "Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness-- by whose stripes you were healed." NOTE - Past tense "You were healed". Jesus paid it all for your total deliverance - spirit, soul and body!

.. ..

Psalm 103:2-3 "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who heals all thy diseases" NOTE - Notice it doesn't say some, it says all! It also states that healing is one of the benefits that belongs to the believer along with the benefit of having our sin forgiven. See our article Two Gifts of Grace

.. ..

3 John 2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

.. ..

Jeremiah 17:14 "Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise." NOTE - Once a person finally understands that healing is a part of the finished work of grace along with salvation, paid for at the same time with the same healing Blood, then you can get excited about this verse saying; "You did it Lord for me! Then according to this verse I will agree and say, I will have healing just as I have salvation, it's mine NOW!"

.. ..

James 5:14-15 "Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."… I GOT to Winder, Georgia. Left 9:28a got here 18:54. I realize the Holy Spirit from abundant Life ministries is on me and the people I touch can be awakened because of me. It speaks to me about my desire. Being a recluse. Like my uncle Robert. He lives in a camper and refuses to write a check or share his identity because he's scared of the computers. Please pray for him. The last time I saw him, I could see he was getting a different frame of mind. Pam said it might not’ve been her I thought I saw weeks ago at Applebee’s. but our nonstop eye contact told me she missed the peace I always saw I gave her. Then I thought of her wording weeks, months later. She didn't want to lie to me. After talking an hour a day a year, she saw my honesty and still respected it. but when she tested me, I failed with flying colors. I also decided I didn't want a tester. I saw I didn't care for her as I thought I did. .y love life is too immature, green for such. Christianity is like that. If the seeds are sown in light dirt, the sun will scorch them. My seeds I'd sown in her and she’d sown in me were scorched by the sun. To be a missionary, as I desire, I have to get my soil tilled. the Sovereign Lord was sowing seeds in me and my soil wasn't ready. … Next morning. I'm thinking of the dream I just had. I clearly grabbed the tan hat. Walked away. Saw I had the camo hat. My reading-- tan has the synonyms coffee, russet, brunette, and auburn. coffee could be what I have every morning. Russet is a synonym with the rest. chocolate, coffee, tan, brunette, and auburn. Brunette is a tan hair color. A brunette lady fixing my coffee. It may be my made! Mom is black headed, Praise the Lord! 181 rejections took marriage completely out of the picture. And Auburn is a town next to the 1 I'm in. maybe that's where I’ll get me a wife, though I will not try. Maybe I’ll wake up after nuptials. Because since 181 women rejected me, I'm not at all interested in asking them out. My soar throat left. Thank you for praying for it. plpr4t runny nose I now have to be gone. I just did a word count on the fiction I'm writing and saw I'm ready to start proofreading! Then I’ll work on the ending as I'm doing that. Often the Sovereign Lord starts with us and all we want to see is the finished product. My brother had a warrant on him. He couldn't see the effect of using time in jail to perfect himself. All he could see was the limitations of convicts and the way the police are always checking them out. I told him when I was in a wheelchair with a head brace to hold my head up, nobody thought I'd be always writing and reading like I am now. In your trouble, have Spiritual eyes. See the glory the Sovereign Lord has planned for you. The last time I was in Georgia, I could hobo the neighbor’s Internet service. Not anymore. L I am reminded people want different things. Not only did Dad not want to go to heaven but my dog doesn’t want to go to the backyard where he has free reign! Dad said he’d know nobody in heaven and Montie seems to think he’s scared we’ll leave him if he ventures alone to the backyard. I was going to email my ex’s mom. The ex and I came apart after I was in a coma for real. She had upset me & there was some distancing on my part. Her mom oathed to be my friend as long as I should live. That's because after Sharon and I started dating, Sharon became new. She started trying harder and became a better person. The mom would listen to our talks on the phone a lot. When Sharon needed it, I expressed disagreement. I wanted her only to do what was best for her. The mom saw that and oathed friendship to me forever. But I cannot get online and do not know her number. I was Sharon’s minister, I see. Yesterday, Mom talked to Dad’s sister then his sister-in-law. Mom is always so happy hearing from either of them. It’s funny Dad and Mom were becoming friends before his death 2 years. I asked Mom if the sister-in-law and sister were drowning, which would you save? She said she loved them so much she’d jump in with them. In Tampa Bay, on the way to Georgia, a stranger was helping me find a lid and cup in a store. I said are you from Georgia? He laughed no. I said you're acting like it. I'm seated in the den, wishing I were in the public, meeting nice people. it could be my perspective. You can think yourself happy. I've always thought of myself as being much, much less than I really know I am. Kg has even put people in my life to defy what I was thinking or pondered by bluntly saying different. On the way to Georgia, Mom told me about the preacher, his son, his son’s friend. The 2, son and friend, fell off the boat they were fishing on. The preacher threw the friend the life vest because he knew his son was saved. The friend became a very, very effectual preacher and led thousands of people to the Lord. … We just went to the grave yard… Granny’s grave. Got back. Saw we locked ourselves out. Mom went to Judy’s. She had a copy of ours and everybody else’s keys! The trust is so great in Georgia! I prayed the prayer over Thanksgiving dinner. I told Jesus we all trusted Him as our Savior and believe the Sovereign Lord rose Him from the dead on the third day. it sounded like part of the script. My great-granddaddy was the sixteen year commissioner of Winder, Georgia. A guy was killed on a dirt road my great-granddaddy was trying to get paved. The mom splashed mud all over him in the news a Wednesday. Votes were the next day. I even had a commissioner disbelieve he was my great-granddaddy. I say big deal. He wasn't the President. Why was it such a culture shock to very to Tampa Bay? Yesterday, I saw why. We were looking for my brother’s baby mama. She’d given us directions. Slow driving. We saw a family in the front yard. We were looking for the baby mama Sara. They started waving and smiling at us. Lol, we pull in. Do you know Sara Truett? That's the current baby daddy name. They ever were so sweetly smiling walk up and say no, and they don't know them. Both of us were so apologetic to each other. Then we were off to see the baby mama, who was found 2 roads over. That sort of community feel IS NOT in Tampa Bay! My nephew came to my laptop with his face in it, but I could see. He’s my dead brother’s 12 year old. Talking. Talking. Talking. Talking. So I let him watch. He eventually walked off. Dad, a drug abuser for decades, would've NEVER been that patient. It told me by being patient with trouble, it fades faster. That it’s your response that adds to the trouble. If it weren't my dead brother’s boy, I'd likely not be so patient before. But it taught me a lesson. When you fuss, you mess with your feelings, worsening them. A lady in the nursing home where Papa was like that. She LOVED to fuss because her emotions never felt calmness. Even though a home may be underwater that doesn't mean the loan will wind up delinquent and then go into foreclosure. You need a perspective change sometimes. … Look what just happened! Mom took 8m nephew to grocery store. I thought he was 12m. Oops. Please pray my team wins tomorrow, Saturday. I’ll let you know the score. I got 8m to repeat after me, “Jesus is my Savior.” He got that just fine. “The Sovereign Lord rose Him from the dead on the third day.” In about 15 tries, he finally got it! FINALLY! I looked patient. It was HUGE facade! Please pray my team defeats its rival tomorrow. After Jacob finally got it, he said it every time I asked. You may say 8m is too young. I don't care. As a toddler, I was baptized. I DO NOT remember anything about it. But all through elementary school and et cetera I felt a close connection to Jesus. We often talked together. The Holy Spirit and I kept close connection. He helped me speak in tongues when I was 24. …. We just visited aunt’s. Took 8m nephew. He and cousin daughter always play well together. Then took him home. Called his mom on the road, halfway home. Learned nobody is home. We went back. I decided to share that precaution with you. if you ever drop a child off, make extra sure it’s safe. The weather is in the 50s next week in the twenties Praise the Lord I’ll be in Florida, 70 plus weather. I called an old buddy. Actually, the first upper classman I hung out with. I got the wrong number. Since I'm in a land of manners that must be why I was so apologetic to the man receiving. Manners rub off on people. Be polite even to rude people. Papa’s roof started leaking. Across the street, a man is reroofing a house! Papa went and got him to get an estimate. And that's pending! It’s wonderful how Jesus works! I just went to the new Ingle’s. 1 that fired me because a customer thought I was stealing shut down. Standing inline, Mom had a kind cashier touch her shoulder and say she can take her on isle 3! We went there. She borrowed another customer’s card to give Mom a rebate! Talk about sweet! Perfect stranger! This's kind of sweetness will truly totally spoil you. when you are used to rude people, you think this is like heaven, but I promise heaven is better. I had a one on One encounter of the Sovereign Lord and the beauty is absolutely humbling. I haven't seen any old classmates and that's sad. The girls are always very, very loving to me. That's because they think back. I was always very trustworthy. That can be sensed too I found. On the Internet, I've counseled many, many women. Long before I became a minister. It’s what made me decide to be a writing minister. Praise the Lord for what just happened! I was reading my Bible and the neighbor working on a house had a wife bring her daughter to use the bathroom. Doubtlessly that pricked their spirit and told them what they should be doing. The more you bless Jesus with your thoughts, the more you'll see Him bless you! That's what I was just doing! J! I walked the dog. I passed my old house. Across the street, a woman was walking her child. Right where I body surfed for the first time on a bike in my life. I told her. she was interested. I also said my great-granddaddy was founder of the city. I say that because he owned hundreds if not thousands of acres. But I do not know where she went.

…. Just went to church. Saw I forgot about the loud, vigorous praising the Lord they do. the Sovereign Lord totally inhabits praise. It’s felt and seen.

Which is a reasonable sacrifice....

You have to have the Holy Ghost. Economy wise everybody is in the same boat. Amen! Tithing I look in my wallet to see I'm broke. Dry as the Sahara. If I can give a testimony, I'm giving a praise for the Perspectives class on missionaries, which I am, Papa checked to see, and my government class. Plus I'm praising the Lord for showing 181 women I don't belong with. Rejections. Also, at the eating later, Clint and I are in line. I point at the altar and ask if he remembered writing our name on the wood before the carpet. He did. It was a sweet memory. He said they did it in the new addition after I moved. They're receiving not taking offering. The Lord will make you give out of the abundance of your heart. Pray for Shane to be blessed for giving me a pen when I was in need from a girl. the Sovereign Lord loves a cheerful giver. The energetic clapping of members and hollering and jumping reminds me of why the Spirit is so felt here. It’s been years since I've been here and everybody has changed so much. I don't know most till they say. I'm SOOO gracious for the trouble the Lord spared me from in the 181 rejections! I loudly speak in tongues. I'm not a jumper though like most of the church. Though I am currently dancing on my feet and almost step out with some other dancers. There's a lot of animation during the music. Oh, I thank Jesus all the days of my life! Oh, I thank Jesus all the days of my life! Oh, I thank Jesus all the days of my life! when I was lost, Lord, You found me. Separate people in the song start screaming and yelling and Jesus starts giving joy everywhere. When I was sick, Jesus healed me. When I was down, Jesus raised me. I'm so glad the Sovereign Lord saved me. I can't help it. I start dancing like so many others. This is why the Lord infills the church with the Spirit like He does. I'm dancing over the 181 rejections I had because I think of the pain I felt over Pam when truth surfaced. She told a date I forced her to hug me and I DID NOT! So I'm so very proud of the 181 rejections. I love the Sovereign Lord! I love the Sovereign Lord! I love the Sovereign Lord! I love the Sovereign Lord! I love the Sovereign Lord! I love the Sovereign Lord! There’re some high stepping dancers on the stage and some very loud singers with music with a lot of pump. I start hollering and screaming in tongues. I was lost and the Sovereign Lord found me. Soon Brother Danny explains why they baptize in Jesus’ name. I tell him all my rejections show me where I don't belong. Well, Pam didn't reject me, butt I failed her test. No, I decided I don't like her upon it. the Sovereign Lord brought me out. Brother Montana is usually here when I come. He’s a prison minister that broke my high school wrestling record I haven't heard is broken again. Everybody is lifting their hands, praying in tongues. You can't tell it let me tell it what the Lord has done for me. I'm sweating like a race horse. A day of Thanksgiving. The Lord is still praying the church full of joy. a lady is screaming. I'm glad the Sovereign Lord brought me out. I'm rejoicing over the 181 rejections I had. At the time, I thought they were horrible. Butt then the Sovereign Lord started telling me what is going on. Somebody is loudly speaking in tongues. Everybody is very, very outwardly loving Jesus. invite family and friends to church. People are breathing hard after the wave of praising the Lord passes through the church at one time. Love is filling the sanctuary like crazy. for people, the greatest thing I can tell is about my Shepherd. If you are without the Shepherd, listen to this.

: Ps 23

The love of the Sovereign Lord makes you care for the children. They just had National Youth Convention. The Spirit calms my raging seas. Jesus walks with me through the fire. I went to the first church. That's the 1 where we signed our names under the carpet before the carpet. But it’s now the banquet hall. It reminds me of Granny. She always forgot time changes things, spells of time end and become new, and seasons are temporal. New faces everywhere. I'm so glad seeing called me from the 181. many pictures of kids worshipping Jesus are on the screen. Nothing is impossible for the Sovereign Lord. kids are really praising the Lord. the Sovereign Lord holds my world in the Lord’s hands. I start speaking in tongues! I love Jesus! I love Jesus! I love Jesus! I love Jesus! I love Jesus! I love Jesus!

Mt 9:36-38

National Youth Convention power is witnessed. After your kids have been 2worshg the Lord, will you turn them over to the vile, sadistic, immoral world? We’re in a world very, very badly in need of help. Everything up is down everything down is up. The world greatly mocks the church and everything it stands for. I'm beginning to understand why the Sovereign Lord told me to avoid the 181 to reject me. But the Shepherd is good. The Shepherd, my Shepherd. If your life is full of chaos, you need the Shepherd. If you have the Holy Ghost in your heart, the

The Prayer Force Initiative is designed to lay a foundation of prayer for a special conference scheduled to take place in July 2010. You are invited to join an army of people who are sincerely praying for boys who are 11 to 15 years old. Use the form on this website to submit the name of boy dear to your heart.

.. ..

If you and your organization would like to join us in this prayer effort, fill out the form titled 'Join The Force.' We would like grow our prayer list to cover a million boys between now and the July 2010 conference.

.. ..

About the Conference:

.. ..

The objective of the Men of Honor- Men of Steel conference is to help boys 11-15 years of age choose HONOR as a lifestyle

429125_82897980

e. Since boys take their cues from society, media, peers and heroes, it is difficult for them to know what is right and what is wrong. As a result, many boys make bad choices in building relationships, have difficulty telling the truth, see poor examples of faithful living, and have trouble developing the character that will make them secure about themselves and hopeful about their future.

.. ..

399613_3168

The Men of Honor- Men of Steel conference is planned for July, 2010 with rallies throughout the United States, Central and South America. Local audiences throughout North, Central and South America will be able to watch a special all-day broadcast via the Internet and by television. With the assistance of Christian Television Network and their broadcast affiliates throughout the United States, this will be the first conference of its kind broadcast, in its entirety, over digital television. Originating from the Christian Television Network International Broadcast Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, the broadcast will also be available to other television networks throughout the country and also to churches with the ability to receive the satellite signal or Internet broadcasts. [-] My missionary class is soon. What a beautiful class. It reminds me of the many prayers I sent up for missionaries and the many prayers I heard other people in my Missions Minded prayer group also send up. Missionaries are a blessing and it’s sad they're so unsupported. I'm getting a college credit and that's most appealing. Please pray I get lots more church centered college credits. Poll: Support for Obamacare at New Low

Monday, September 28, 2009 12:20 PM By: Jim Meyers Article Font Size Only 41 percent of voters now support President Barack Obama and the Democrats' healthcare reform proposal � down from 44 percent two weeks ago and the lowest level of support yet measured by Rasmussen Reports.Rasmussen's nationwide telephone survey also found that 56 percent of voters are now opposed to the plan. Just 33 percent of senior citizens favor the plan, while 59 percent are opposed. Please pray for Obama. Every angle you can think of. I'm so tired. That's because I was reading all day and that's because I had a Private/Christian College lie about not being able to get permission. Am I mad? NO!!!! I'm very gracious I have the umph to do this! It helps my writing. In the third grade, I KNEW I'd be a writer someday. Please pray for my past buddy, Cecil. He was in critical condition with swine flu. I haven't heard how he is lately. Remember you'll get prayers answered in ways you least expect. When I went girl crazy and prayed seriously about it, Jesus answered that by my getting rejected by 177 women. It was very, very tough! But after that season passed, I'm happier, better-off, more contented, at an advantage, and turned off. If you've been cruising with your boom cranked up, the boom box bill enables you to be fined and penalized. You'll see more bills the more government sees rewards in the purse with starving purses like they are. Texting and talking on your cell is also fined. UGH! Mom hasn't come home and her voicemail always picks up when I call her! frustrated1! Well, all I'm saying is that I want to look back and say that I did it the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place. Dogged as much time as I could while I was stuck in this place. Growing up I had a horrible speech impediment. I stuttered to where I couldn't even talk in class. I couldn't even give one-word answers because I would stutter, which in turn made me mad. I fought a lot and I stayed in trouble a lot. I never had someone come in and say, 'We want to have you see a speech therapist to help you'. I was too poor. People that live on the borderline of poverty do not get charity because it does not go that far down the line. I wish I had someone to help me, but it never happened. I did it myself. I still get stuck on a word sometimes, but I don't let it bother me. When I go home, people say, 'Man, it would take you 10 minutes to say a sentence when you were young, and now you're traveling around the country, speaking to corporations and thousands of people. How...did you do it?'" I'm stuck at home and I know the class is taking place without me. I'm very uncomfortable. But wait! Jesus is speaking very well to me. It obviously took this to get me here! "My inspiration is ART. . . Because without ART we would just be stuck with reality." It takes courage to be the author of your life. When you are struggling through one of the difficult parts of turning your dreams into reality, you may wonder why you always get stuck with having to put up with so much fear and uncertainty. Why, you wonder, couldn't I feel more courageous, like those other people do? You don't feel courageous because courage is not an emotion. There is no such thing as feeling "courageous". It is an imaginary emotion. Courage consists of doing what you said you would do even when you don't want to. In the face of danger you have a choice to be the delegate of either your commitments or your feelings. It's as simple and as difficult as that. Being stuck without a ride makes me desire better back up plans. the reason Mom moved was I walked to Abundant Life at Monterey Apartment. Now that I'm stranded, I'm stranded. When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest! If you must-but never quit. Life is queer, with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might of won if he'd stuck it out; Stick to your task, though the pace seems slows- You may succeed with one more blow. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt- And you may never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worse that YOU MUSN'T QUIT. Tell a Friend-Anon., "You Musn't Quit" "Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs." "I gave 'em a sword. And they stuck it in, and they twisted it with relish. And I guess if I had been in their position, I'd have done the same thing."

I just cleaned the dirt on a walkway where I was picking weeds away. Grass that grew on the edge. It’s good to stop the progression being made. Sin is like that. People can look back to where their crime began. They wish they'd made the decision before the start had a chance to be made. I had a friend in middle school. We’d drink tequila.

John 1:33

33I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'

But only a swallow. 1.5 decades later, my brother and I passed him on the road in Bogart, Georgia. He held up a beer, driving. That came to mind because it told me he didn’t stop the snowball effect. Hebrews 11 By Faith 1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.[-] That same friend I saw at a kickboxing tournament. I asked him what happened to his gf. She was clearly pregnant. He said she swallowed a watermelon seed. Hebrews 11:3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God Almighty's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.[-] I reach be the gym. People are setting up tables. Eating getting prepared. New people arrive. 1 lady keeps telling me Granny went to library of congress to do genealogy and I keep politely saying she did her genealogy in the UGA library. The lights are cut off and stay off quite a while. Strangers are here and are welcome. We belong to Jesus. Hebrews 11:6And without faith it is impossible to please God Almighty, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Psalm 34

Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.

1 [a] I will extol the LORD at all times;

his praise will always be on my lips.

2 My soul will boast in the LORD;

let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23

19Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God Almighty's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. 23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

2 Corinthians 2

1So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you. 2For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved? 3I wrote as I did so that when I came I should not be distressed by those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy. 4For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.

Forgiveness for the Sinner

5If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you, to some extent—not to put it too severely. 6The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient for him. 7Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. 9The reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. 10If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. Get closer to Almighty Jesus.

Ministers of the New Covenant

12Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and found that the Lord had opened a door for me, 13I still had no peace of mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said good-by to them and went on to Macedonia.

14But thanks be to God Almighty, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. 15For we are to God Almighty the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? 17Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God Almighty for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God Almighty with sincerity, like men sent from God Almighty.

New International Version (NIV) Please pray for Abundant Life!

2 Corinthians 4

Treasures in Jars of Clay

1Therefore, since through God Almighty's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Please pray for Barack! 2Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God Almighty. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God Almighty. 3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4The God Almighty of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God Almighty. 5For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6For God Almighty, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"[a]made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God Almighty in the face of Christ. Please pray for Barack!

7But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God Almighty and not from us. 8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. 12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. Get closer to Omnipresent Jesus King.

13It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken."[b]With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, 14because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. 15All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God Almighty.

16Therefore we do not lose heart. Please pray for Barack! Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Paul's Vision and His Thorn

1I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God Almighty knows. 3And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God Almighty knows— 4was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell. 5I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. 6Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say.

Warnings From Israel's History

1For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. 2They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3They all ate the same spiritual food 4and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Please pray for Barack! 5Nevertheless, God Almighty was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert. Please pray for Barack!

6Now these things occurred as examples[a] to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in pagan revelry."[b] 8We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. 9We should not test the Lord, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. 10And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.

11These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. 12So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God Almighty is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Idol Feasts and the Lord's Supper

14Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. 15I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? 17Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf.

18Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? 19Do I mean then that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God Almighty, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. 22Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

The Believer's Freedom

23"Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive. 24Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.

25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, 26for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."[c]

27If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. 28But if anyone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience' sake[d]— 29the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience? 30If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God Almighty for?

31So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God Almighty. 32Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God Almighty— 33even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.

1 Corinthians 15

The Resurrection of Christ

1Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Peter,[b] and then to the Twelve. 6After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

9For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God Almighty. 10But by the grace of God Almighty I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God Almighty that was with me. 11Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

.. ..

(2) Meetings of congregations were instituted to suppress heresies, to which certain were sent by common consent on behalf of all.

.. ..

People's New Testament

.. ..

15:2 No small dissension. These men were opposed by Paul and Barnabas, but the fact that they were from Jerusalem, and probably contended that they had the authority of the apostles, gave them an influence.

.. ..

Wesley's Notes

.. ..

15:2 They (the brethren) determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others should go up to Jerusalem about this question - This is the journey to which St. Paul refers, Gal 2:1,2, when he says he went up by revelation: which is very consistent with this; for the Church in sending them might be directed by a revelation made either immediately to St. Paul, or to some other person, relating to so important an affair. Important indeed it was, that these Jewish impositions should be solemnly opposed in time; because multitudes of converts were still zealous for the law, and ready to contend for the observance of it. Indeed many of the Christians of Antioch would have acquiesced in the determination of Paul alone. But as many others might have prejudices against him, for his having been so much concerned for the Gentiles, it was highly expedient to take the concurrent judgment of all the apostles on this occasion.

.. ..

2. Paul and Barnabas-now the recognized heads of the Church at Antioch.

had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined-that is, the church did.

that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them-Titus was one (Ga 2:1); probably as an uncircumcised Gentile convert endowed with the gifts of the Spirit. He is not mentioned in the Acts, but only in Second Corinthians, Galatians, Second Timothy, and the Epistle addressed to him [Alford].

.. ..

should go up to Jerusalem . about this question-That such a deputation should be formally despatched by the Church of Antioch was natural, as it might be called the mother church of Gentile Christianity.

.. ..

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

.. ..

15:1-6 Some from Judea taught the Gentile converts at Antioch, that they could not be saved, unless they observed the whole ceremonial law as given by Moses; and thus they sought to destroy Christian liberty. There is a strange proneness in us to think that all do wrong who do not just as we do. Their doctrine was very discouraging. Wise and good men desire to avoid contests and disputes as far as they can; yet when false teachers oppose the main truths of the gospel, or bring in hurtful doctrines, we must not decline to oppose them.

.. ..

Matthew Henry's Whole Bible Commentary

.. ..

Chapter 15

.. ..

Hitherto we have, with a great deal of pleasure, attended the apostles in their glorious travels for the propagating of the gospel in foreign parts, have seen the bounds of the church enlarged by the accession both of Jews and Gentiles to it; and thanks be to that God who always caused them to triumph. We left them, in the close of the foregoing chapter, reposing themselves at Antioch, and edifying the church there with the rehearsal of their experiences, and it is a pity they should ever be otherwise employed; but in this chapter we find other work (not so pleasant) cut out for them. The Christians and ministers are engaged in controversy, and those that should have been now busied in enlarging the dominions of the church have as much as they can do to compose the divisions of it; when they should have been making war upon the devil's kingdom they have much ado to keep the peace in Christ's kingdom. Yet this occurrence and the record of it are of great use to the church, both for warning to us to expect such unhappy discords among Christians, and direction to us what method to take for accommodating them. Here is, I. A controversy raised at Antioch by the judaizing teachers, who would have the believing Gentiles brought under the yoke of circumcision and the ceremonial law (v. 1, 2). II. A consultation held with the church at Jerusalem about this matter, and the sending of delegates thither for that purpose, which occasioned the starting of the same question there (v. 3-5). III. An account of what passed in the synod that was convened upon this occasion (v. 6). What Peter said (v. 7-11). What Paul and Barnabas discoursed of (v. 12). And, lastly, what James proposed for the settling of this matter (v. 13-21). IV. The result of this debate, and the circular letter that was written to the Gentile converts, directing them how to govern themselves with respect to Jews (v. 22-29). V. The delivering of this determination to the church at Antioch, and the satisfaction it gave them (v. 30-35). VI. A second expedition designed by Paul and Barnabas to preach to the Gentiles, in which they quarreled about their assistant, and separated upon it, one steering one course and the other another (v. 36-41).

Even when things go on very smoothly and pleasantly in a state or in a church, it is folly to be secure, and to think the mountain stands strong and cannot be moved; some uneasiness or other will arise, which is not foreseen, cannot be prevented, but must be prepared for. If ever there was a heaven upon earth, surely it was in the church at Antioch at this time, when there were so many excellent ministers there, and blessed Paul among them, building up that church in her most holy faith. But here we have their peace disturbed, and differences arising. Here is.

Leading people to Jesus. it’s so easy in a group. I stayed busy reaching people. 6 in all if you count Mom on the way home. It, street walking, was a vehicle to lead to glory. I fulfilled my soul. It led me to where I belong. When I first got in the church, after rebellion, which followed church, I regretted so much not getting in it earlier. I was able to give a CD or book to some people. in the men’s conference, we learned how to be better men. On the street, you learn how to be more like Jesus. as I write, I still savor the anointing I still feel. Jesus is praying glory over my soul as I remember 5 hours ago. There was a guy in my class in high school I knew would be a preacher. Now he is. Over a huge church. The reason is people who bring visitors get their name on a plaque on a wall. I think they have contests for who brings the most people. "We love Him because He first loved us." 1 John 4:9-10 As I reached out and talked to people, I saw I'm a good talker. Yes, verebose, but more than that. When I was a bag boy, I talked, talked, talked, talked, talked to the customer. I actually made more money than my manager. That job was lost because instead of standing in line on a blister to pay for a candybar, I ate it first. Turned in by a customer. I asked the boss, years later, if they wrote up they fired me. He made a face and waved it off, Nahhh.” The thing is I KNEW they wouldn't be fire me if they'd been the ones to catch me. But the customer had to see me fired. I was a very diligent, willing employee. They hated seeing me go. But it was a must. The customer comes first. "And Jesus said unto them ... , "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to younder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you." Romans 1:17 I had to go on street walking. Not because I wanted to. I'd love to spend more time on my computer. But life isnt about what you want to do. It’s about what you have to do. Choices have consequences. I sent my buddy that spent a decade in jail a recap of the street walking. You are what you have become. I remember so well Jack and me eating molasses and biscuits for years every day. tppr I sent him had the sinner’s prayer in it. please pray it changes his life. he said he falls asleep in church. He wants a woman. I told higm about the way Jesus answered my prayer when I so badly wanted a relationship with a woman. Jesus so answered that "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear ... " 1 John 4:18 I text Mom and said do not buy me supper, please, I'm fasting. She's at a friend’s. she had to get me at church after street walking before she went there. Every time I looked I'd see a new person to witness to. I never tarried before the next soul. I'd ask if you die now, are you absolutely sure you'll go to heaven? Then Joyce said not to come off like that. Introduce yourself first. Then you lead them through the sinner’s prayer. The sarcastic man said it and I said he was now saved. But did he mean it in his heart? Is he saved whether he likes it or not? When you pursue righteousness, peace and joy hunt you down. I reached a nice lady. Reading the script. Rptg me. We both had very sweet vois. She was very, very sweet. I got the sarcastic man outside the door. A man in the road. A woman seated. A man in a van. And a man up the road in walking distance. Then Mom on the way home. 5 rejected me. That's what I'm the most comfortable with. There was 1 rejecter I accidentally asked two times. But she was counted as 1 rejecter still. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6 There’re always people to reach with the gospel. I tarried very little. I saw a distant man near the bridge, but I stopped at a closer soul, only to later find that other soul gone. I do not know what they talk about when we’re not there. I pray for people like this a lot when they're freshly on my mind. But I'm ashamed to say I don't keep praying like this as time passses and more stuff gets on my mind. To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David.> My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation. Psalm 62:1

After you receive the Holy Spirit, God is better able to use and bless you. God likes to bless people.

What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? Is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies? You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it. You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

James 4:1-3 Lol the world is thinking the end is Mayan End Age 12-21-2012

1161 days, 10 hrs, 48 minutes, 42 seconds left for Age of Transition to begin!

"The Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear." - Joseph Robert Jochmans The Bible says nobody knows when the end will be. Since Bible says nobody knows when the end will be, nobody knows when the end will be. Jesus was removed from school because Jesus is offensive. That tells you 1 thing to pray for. It’s important you fill your life with prayer. Cunning people will be using your disadvantages for their gain.
