Minister gospel - Grateful Christian messages

True friendship and why Christans must forgive...

2007-11-09T20:23:00.001-05:00

Greetings,

I have been going through this exact 'friendship challenge' with two friends that have a one-sided friendship in a self-centered kind of way and that always ask me to forgive them for ignoring my side of needs... then they go right back to the same self-centerd ways, only to after a while when I get tired of their 'my mountain is so big' or 'I am so blessed' one sided comments and I tell them to stop and realize I need equal time in a true friendship, again they recognize they had been ignoring me and ask for my forgiveness which of course I do forgive them... then the whole cycle start again... so, this article by Dr. Larry Ollison on "Unforgiveness" gives me a point of reference in my 'shaking their friendship tree' to see if a 'friendship fruit' will fall and we can have a real relationship or if I must walk away from one or both of them after so many years...

So, friends and everyone that has friends, beware and be aware of how you use your friends and their friendships and how to react to their 'friendship challenge' and forgive and stay friends or forgive and move on...

* Unforgiveness is a Negative Witness by Dr. Larry Ollison

Why is it that the devil is attacking so much in offenses and in the area of unforgiveness? In John 10:10 it says the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came to give us abundant life.

If the devil wants to kill, what does he want to kill? He wants to kill us, but actually he wants to kill the work of God, steal the work of God, and destroy the work of God in your life. He wants to get at God through the body of Jesus that is here on this earth. He wants to destroy the ministry of Jesus Christ. His goal is to get you tied up in unforgiveness and in offense so you will be weak and without joy (Nehemiah 8:10).

What do you do? You decide you are going to let the offense go. Who decides if you are going to let it go? Who decides if you are going to forgive? You do! The person who has been offended and hurt has to make the decision.

Paul said, "forgetting what lies behind I press on." God forgives and forgets and we must be like God. We have to choose to forget. Forgetting does not mean that you don’t remember. You still remember, but the surge of anger that you normally would feel when you remember isn’t there. You remember it only as an historical event. You don’t remember it with the pain.

When we start seeing people the way God sees people, we are not going to be offended and we are not going to be unforgiving toward things they do and say.

You can choose what you think about. The battle of faith takes place in the mind and the devil is the king of guilt. He’ll try to make you remember your past. Is it your past that keeps you from going forward, or is it your present attitude about your past that keeps you from going forward?

Unforgiveness will affect your sanity. Have you ever been around somebody that won’t let go of unforgiveness? The Bible says to think on certain things, which means you can control what you think. It’s a lie to say, “I can’t help what I think.”

Unforgiveness will make you open bait for the devil. You’ve got to realize that the devil is trying to pull you into a trap – everyday. The easiest trap he has is offenses and unforgiveness. Once he gets you in there, you are trapped.

You may be trying to go on with your ministry. You may be trying to witness to a person you are working with. I know of a man who has been trying to witness to a co-worker for years. I’ll be honest with you. He will never witness to him and get him saved in his current condition. Why is that? Because in his current condition he is offended and he has unforgiveness and it just pours out of him. While that unforgiveness is pouring out of him, he’s trying to witness to his co-worker. Witnessing is taking place, only it’s a negative witness instead of a positive one. The co-worker is probably thinking to himself, “If that guy is a Christian, I don’t want what he has. He’s a mess. He’s mental.” The world calls this being a hypocrite.

Second Timothy 2:25-26 talks about how we come to the truth. We hear the truth, we come to our senses and we escape the snare of the devil. The devil hopes you won’t be smart enough to forgive. The devil wants you to be stupid when it comes to forgiveness. But forgiveness is the key to being set free. Forgiveness is possible in every situation. Forgiveness is a choice. That choice is totally ours.

Rev. Dorothy M. Barry live broadcast at YouTube from Nashville, TN

2007-11-03T18:11:00.001-04:00

Greetings to women in ministry live broadcasts to use the new internet technology to share the good news of the gospel.

Here is information on Rev.Dorothy M. Barry live broadcast at YouTube and why she is doing it as part of her ministry outreaches in Nashville, Tennessee.

Message from Rev. Dorothy M. Barry: "Reality Ministry- My first attempt on blogTV"

Greetings in the name of the LORD!

With interest I have been reading and watching the ongoing discussions with Bishop CD Miller, Apostle Stacey Woods and others on the topic "Reality Ministry for the Reality Generation" and decided to give blogTV a try. I am already on YouTube, GodTube and LiveVideo.com.

Personally I was out of my comfort zone because with "YouTube" I don't post it til I can edit and add titles etc, have to learn how to do that with blogTV. Have to figure out why it echos too. Also not used to having an instant audience as you record.

As with any other first attempts there will come a more polished presentation but if you don't start somewhere how will you know if you can do it. So don't laugh but I did get into the boat Bishop!!!

So who's next!!!!!!!

Take a look!!

2008 "The Year of the Church"

2007-10-25T12:23:00.001-04:00

Greetings,

As Thanksgiving and Christmas times approach Christians should pause and be reflecting in the blessings the Lord had given us during 2007 and also start looking forward to His blessings for 2008…

Here is a very thoughtful devotional from Dr. Larry Ollison that all should read and prayerfully consider:

2008 "The Year of the Church" by Dr. Larry Ollison

A few weeks ago while spending time with the Lord, I had this question on my heart. "What are Your plans for me and for my ministry?" From deep within my spirit I heard these words. "This coming year will be the year of the church."

My first question was this. "What does it mean that 2008 will be the year of the church?" The church was here this year and last year. In fact, the church has been on the Earth every year since the time Jesus put His blood on the Mercy Seat. When Jesus became the first fruits into the Kingdom and became the firstborn among many brethren, the church was established. Jesus then took His position as the head of the church and all who received Him became a part of His body. The church has existed for centuries, so what does it mean "2008 is the year of the church?"

Over the last few weeks I have meditated on this and God has spoken clearly to my heart. As for me and those who attend my church and receive from this ministry, 2008 is the year for every member of the church to stand up and be the church. The time that once was future is now here. We are truly living in the last moments of the last days. We are the generation that will usher in the return of the Messiah. The waiting is over and the time is at hand for the church to stand up and operate in the power and authority that was prophesied by Jesus.

* 2008 is the Year for the Church to Stand Up and Be the Church

It is time for the church to quit being "seeker friendly" and become "Holy Spirit friendly." When the world looks at Christians, they should see the light shining in such a way that they are drawn to a loving God instead of being drawn to God’s stuff. While it is true that God wants to prosper every believer physically and financially, the gift should not receive more glory than the giver.

Jesus told us that Christians were to be fishers of men, but a BMW or a Mercedes should not be the bait on the hook. Now don’t take me wrong. There is nothing wrong with owning a BMW or a Mercedes. Personally, a silver BMW Z-4 is a beautiful car and there is nothing wrong with having one. If you see one in the Pastor’s parking spot at church, it’s okay. God doesn’t mind. However, the motivation of Jesus being pierced with nails and dying on the cross was not so you could have a new BMW and it shouldn’t be your motivation for spreading the gospel either. We should attract people to a loving God in such a way that they will love Him more than His stuff.

Many people in the church are hurting, offended, and bitter. I heard a man say last week that life had been bad to him. While it may be true that the world has treated him poorly, God is a good God and His plan is full of goodness.

It’s time for the church to get over bitterness, discouragement, depression, and fear of people. This is the year the church must take a stand and proclaim the Word to the world with strength and authority.

Psalm 119:165 says, "Great peace have they which love Thy law and nothing shall offend them." The church must quit talking about what the world has done to them and start talking about what God has done for them. This is the time, this is the year for the church to stand up and be the church.

While in Old Jerusalem, a storekeeper told me that Christians often leave tracts in his store hoping that he will find them and receive Jesus. He made an interesting statement to me. He said, "Instead of Christians leaving a tract, they should become a living tract, and then being a Christian would be attract-ive."

It’s time for Christians to quit talking about what they are in the world and be who they are to the world.

* 2008 is the Year the Church Walks in Correction

As a pastor, I have discovered that people enjoy coming to me for advice and they accept it as long as the answer is what they want to hear. We must develop the ministry of receiving the word "no." To hear quickly, and to be obedient without question makes one usable to God.

Over the years I’ve had many approach me about their call into the ministry. There are those who truly will do whatever God calls them to do, but there are also many who will only answer the call if it involves a platform, podium, microphone, and cameras. There is nothing wrong with being famous. The Bible says that Jesus’ fame spread throughout the country and multitudes came to hear him. Jesus didn’t seek fame, but used it as a tool. Likewise, fame should never be a ministry goal.

In order for the church to be the church, Christians must be obedient to every word and not just to the ones they want to receive. We must go where He tells us to go, or stay where He tells us to stay without regard to fame or fortune. The Blessing will chase you down and catch you, but The Blessing only travels on the street named Obedience.
God’s Word may be served on a table, but it’s not a smorgasbord. There are desserts, but you must also eat the vegetables.

My wife, Loretta, is devoted to prayer. Privately she spends time in prayer, but also hosts several prayer sessions each week. I recently heard someone say that they were not going to prayer because they didn’t get a lot out of prayer meetings. It reminded me of the time that a couple met me in my office to inform me that they were no longer going to work with children because no one appreciated what they were doing.

When did appreciation become the motivation for ministry? When did we start judging prayer by how much we got out of it? Much of the focus has been wrong and needs to be corrected.

We were created to worship Him. When we pray, we pray to the Father. If talking to the Father does not bring satisfaction, then an adjustment needs to be made and it’s not the Father that needs to be adjusted. 2008 is the year the church walks in correction.
2008 is the Year the Church Must Obey Without Hesitation

The church has been commanded to "go ye therefore and make disciples." Whether or not you feel appreciated while doing it, is irrelevant. It’s a command. Imagine how an army would function during a time of war if each soldier decided himself whether or not he was going to obey the commands of the General on the basis of how appreciated he felt. The war would be lost. That is one of the basic problems that has developed in the church. We must obey our commands without hesitation.

Many times a statement that sounds good, if carried to the extreme, can be harmful. A lady told me once that she couldn’t teach the children because she needed to be sitting in adult church where the pastor put the food on the table. While this is a good concept, the reality is this. If everybody is sitting at the table and nobody is in the kitchen, everyone starves. In order to eat, we must all take our turn in the kitchen.

While in the heart of God, it is true that it’s all about us, in our hearts we should have the attitude that it’s all about Him. The church must have the right perspective and have its priorities in order. Although we receive when we come to God’s house, our hearts should be the heart of a servant and we should come to give worship to God and minister to others.

Many churches are looking for revival within their own building. They have become frustrated over the years trying to obtain it because the real heart of revival is ministering to someone else. The church should overflow into the world instead of attempting to overflow back onto itself over and over. True satisfaction and accomplishment in the heart of a believer is when they see the Word flowing out of themselves and into the lives of hurting people and seeing those hurting lives becoming fruitful and abundant in all things.

* 2008 is the Year the Church Must Cleanse Itself of the World

2008 is the year for the church to stand in honesty, character, and integrity. In today’s society, I have seen a disturbing trend. People are accustomed to being tantalized, mesmerized, and sensationalized and this has been brought into the church. While I truly believe that worship services should promote excellence in music and teaching and that musicians should practice and rehearse in order to promote excellence in worship, I have noticed that some church services are such choreographed, theatrical, made-for-television performances, that there is little difference between church and the half-time show at the Super Bowl (without the fireworks).

A minister recently indicated to me that he was unable to allow the gifts of the Holy Spirit to operate in his church service because there was no way that it would fit into his television programming.

It’s sad when we allow directors to eliminate the move of the Spirit from our worship services. It’s robbing God of His opportunity to speak intimately with His children. This is the year the church must cleanse itself of the world and worship the Father in spirit and in truth.

When I told a minister at a ministers’ conference that I had sold my airplane, he said, "But what about your image? Don’t you know that not having an airplane will affect the image of your ministry?" We must get over this crazy thinking and realize that ministry is not about the building of our image.

* 2008 is the Year for the Sleeping Giant to Awake

Sometimes I feel like the church has been lulled into a deep sleep. Twenty years ago there were things we would not allow in our homes that today we are using to babysit our children. But this is the year for the sleeping giant to awake.

It has been estimated that there are over 75 million evangelical Christians in America alone. If we could unite as one body in agreement with the Word of God as our guide, nothing could stop us.

While the world may wax worse and become more deceived, the church should become brighter and brighter until we shine the Gospel into all the world.

* 2008 is the Time for the Church to Be All That Jesus Prophesied it Would Be

There is so much more that God is speaking in these last moments of the last days. When my grandmother was a teenager, she saw her first automobile. During all of her youth she traveled by way of horse and wagon. Before she passed away, she saw astronauts go into outer space and men walk on the moon. From the creation of man through six thousand years, man traveled with the assistance of animals. In one generation that changed. The scriptures tell us that in the last days knowledge will increase. We are truly in the last days.

The prophetic times spoken by our Lord and Savior, Jesus, are upon us. The time of waiting is behind and the time of action is at hand. It’s time for the church to stand up and be all that Jesus prophesied the church would be.

Christians should know "The 4 G's" -specially witnessing for the Lord!

2007-10-05T21:38:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

I would like to share with you what the Lord recalled to my mind from a class I attended years ago on Preparation for Ministry that the teacher called "The 4 G" -

GLORY - never touch the anointing of God's manifestations through your ministry - do not sin by letting spirit of pride grip you for what the Lord is doing using you to minister to others, remember that after all He used a donkey at one time!

GOLD - never do anything in ministry because of financial gain or leadership gain

GUYS (for the ladies) / GALLS (for guys) - live a godly life unto the Lord -stay away from compromising situations the devil could pervert... when that happens to be quick to repent and dust off and continue in ministry wiser and more careful...

GOOFY DOCTRINE - (Also can be called 'Stinking thinking') - always check in to see that what we believe and tell others is rightly dividing the Word of Truth and not any man-made reasoning or religious tradition no matter how we agree with it and how popular the leader and the teaching is.

I know is a reason that the Lord is bringing me into remembering now this teaching. Praise the Lord!

You are welcome to share any wisdom from above on this lesson.

God’s blessings!

I read it, then wrote one e-mail and sent it. Only takes a few minutes. The news media is dead wrong. These special people are fighting for our freedom to agree or disagree. What matters is that they know we care about them.

----- Original Message -----

Subject: We need help for MARINES...

US Marine Colonel Simcock, the commander of USMC Regimental Combat Team (RCT) 6 in Iraq, is asking for 6,000 positive emails to his Marines. That's one email for each Marine in his RCT command. COL Simcock is concerned about the effect of the negative barrage that those Marines are getting through the electronic media.

The email address is: RCT-6lettersfromh@gcemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil

So far, they've only mustered 2,000 emails. That's a crying shame compared to the amount of crap I get daily in email. This is a legitimate request. It's not one of the "little Johnny wants to break the world's record in Christmas cards" situations. It takes only 30 seconds of your time.

If you're reading this email, then you can probably click on the address, type a few words, and then hit "send" to be all done. It doesn't have to be the Gettysburg Address.

Something as simple as "Hello, Marine. We thank you for what you're doing. You are in a noble task. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Best wishes & get home soon" is more than sufficient.

An excerpt from an interview with the Colonel:

GRIM: Is there anything that you and your Marines need that we could send you?
COL. SIMCOCK: (Chuckles.) I'll tell you what, the one thing that all Marines want to know about -- and that includes me and everyone within Regimental Combat Team 6 -- we want to know that the American public are behind us. We believe that the actions that we're taking over here are very, very important to America. We're fighting a group of people that, if they could, would take away the freedoms that America enjoys. If anyone -- you know, just sit down, jot us -- throw us an e- mail, write us a letter, let us know that the American public are behind us. Because we watch the news just like everyone else. It's broadcast over here in our chow halls and the weight rooms, and we watch that stuff, and we're a little bit concerned sometimes that America really doesn't know what's going on over here, and we get sometimes concerns that the American public isn't behind us and doesn't see the importance of what's going on. So that's something I think that all Marines, soldiers and sailors would like to hear from back home, that in fact, yes , they think what we're doing over here is important and they are in fact behind us.

DO IT NOW!!!

IT JUST TAKES A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME...

THAT'S NOT MUCH TO ASK FOR WHAT THEY'RE DOING FOR US!

.... AND, PLEASE PASS THIS EMAIL ALONG TO YOUR FRIENDS!... SHOW OUR MARINES WE CARE!

Who is the Seed of the Serpent? - The answer is one of the most important spiritual principles in the Kingdom of God.

2007-09-20T14:47:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

This is a devotional email from Dr. Larry Ollison that will make everyone pause and think!

Who is the Seed of the Serpent? by Dr. Larry Ollison

Several years ago I was doing a Bible study on the Book of Genesis. Creation is a very interesting subject to teach. The Bible tells us that through the sin of one man, sin was brought into the world, and through the sacrifice of the Son of Man, sin was defeated. It’s interesting that when Adam sinned he blamed the woman but also blamed God because God gave her to him. When God asked the woman why she had done what she did, she blamed the serpent.

So in Genesis 3 we find where the Lord God spoke to the serpent. He said, “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed” (Genesis 3:14-15).

You’ll notice that that the reference to the Seed of the woman is capitalized. That’s because it is understood that Jesus is the Seed. After I taught that the Seed of the woman was Jesus, a young girl asked me a very interesting question. The question was, “If Jesus is called the Seed of the woman because He is her descendant, then who is the seed of the serpent? Who is his descendant?”

The answer to this question is one of the most important spiritual principles in the Kingdom of God. I could spend days explaining the answer. But briefly, let me say this. In Mark chapter 4, Jesus tells the parable of a man who sows seed. Then, in verse 13 Jesus said that in order to understand any parable or to understand the mystery of the Kingdom of God and the principles on which it operates, you must understand the parable of the sower. He said that to the world it would be a mystery but to those who are on the inside it will be revealed. Then in verse 14 He begins to unveil the mystery of the Kingdom and how it operates. He said, “The sower sows the Word.”

If it is true that the Word is represented as seed, then we could say that the Seed of the woman is the Word of God. While it is also true that the Seed of the woman in Genesis 3:15 is referring to the person of Jesus, we find in John chapter 1 where it states clearly that Jesus is the Word.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (John 1:1-3)

Then in verse 14 we find that the Word became flesh and dwelt among mankind. Jesus is definitely the Word and He was in the beginning with God.

The word enmity means hostility and contention. God said there would be enmity between the Seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. There has been and there is a war taking place in the mind. That war is between the Word of God and the words of the serpent, between the Seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.

The Bible tells us that when the seed (words) of the enemy is sown into our thought realm that we are to cast them down and reject them. But when the Seed (Word of God) is sown into our minds, that we are to meditate on it and receive it into our heart.

Jesus said that out of the abundance of our heart our mouth would speak. So if we meditate and receive the Word of God, we will speak the Word of God and that will activate the promises of God in our lives.

The war is everywhere – in the world, in the church, and in your mind. The words of the world continually are warring against the Word of God. You must choose which seed you will keep and what seed you will reject. The seed you nurture will grow and become strong in your heart. Out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth will speak and you will harvest your words.

GOD NEVER CHANGES HIS WORD AND WILL - OUR WORDS AND WILL SHOULD NEVER CHANGE: WE HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE!

2007-09-14T17:16:00.000-04:00

Greetings

when I received this one around the time I received a friend's email on God's will and words and our will and words I know that we need to chew on it until what we speak aligns with God's Word and Will and NOT 'the facts of life' we are living... this is the hardest thing that we can ever do... but is the will... our will that will decide to follow God or to let the devil keep kicking us from altar to post... OUR CHOICE TO MAKE!!!

So, here is another one on our words and the power of what we say outloud:

*** "Speak Life" by Dr. Larry Ollison

What you say is important. In fact, the words that come from your mouth today shape your world tomorrow. Your words can bring prosperity and health or they can bring poverty and death. According to the Bible, the words you speak can and will shape your life.

Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”

It is true. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. What you say is important. In fact, what you say is so important that much of the Bible is devoted to teaching us what to say.

In the book of James in chapter 3, the Bible compares the tongue to the rudder of a large ship. Although a ship may be large and driven by fierce winds, it is turned by a very small rudder. This is the way the tongue is. It may be a small part of your body, but what you say with your mouth can enhance or destroy your life.

Most Christians have no idea how their words are affecting their lives. Words can either be words of faith – words that confirm the Word of God, or words of doubt – words that destroy faith. The choice is yours. Your mouth is connected to your head, not someone else’s. You have no one to blame for what you say other than yourself. Think of it this way. Your life and your death are in the power of your tongue.

Jesus said in Mark 11:23 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that those things he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says.”

Jesus said to say to the mountain, “be cast into the sea.” He didn’t say think to the mountain. He didn’t say believe in your heart and that will be enough. He said to believe in your heart and say with your mouth and then you will see the mountain moved.

In Romans 10:9 the Bible says, “If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Notice it says that we are to confess Jesus with our mouth. It doesn’t say to think in our minds. It says to confess with your mouth, in other words, say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord.

Think of your words as containers. When they are released from your mouth, they contain faith or they contain doubt.

Proverbs 6:2 says we are snared by the words of our mouth. This simply means that you are responsible for your words. You have a choice. With your words you can curse or you can bless.

You may ask, “Then what should I say?” The answer is speak words of faith. Speak words that align with the Word of God. Say, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Say, “Jesus is Lord and Satan is defeated.” Say, “He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.” Quote the Word.

Remember, Proverbs 18:21 says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”

Some people say they can’t help what they say. That’s not true. You can control your words. The choice is yours. Will you speak words of faith or will you speak words of doubt?

Your life and your death are in the power of your tongue. Speak life.

CHOCOLATE CRAVING IS NOT ADDICTION!

2007-09-11T11:50:00.001-04:00

Can't quit chocolate? Don't fret, it's no addiction:
Resistance is futile. The more we try to fight off a craving for chocolate, the more our desire for it grows, a British researcher said on Tuesday.

But chocoholics can take heart that such sweets are not addictive despite the fact many people consider themselves as having no control over their urges to eat the sweets... read the news at:

QUESTIONS ON SICKNESS AND HEALTH: Why a Christian get sick? Why God sent Jesus to heal the sick?

2007-09-08T00:09:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

This is an important question for everyone working to make a living, working to have their own successful home-business, to enjoy their families, to enjoy their lives... and it is most important for Christians and Christians fulfilling God's call to ministry (every born again Christian is called to witness of Jesus death on the Cross for everyone to be reconciled to God – that God is not angry at anyone anymore and that through Jesus we can become His children as a family… also a few ministers are also called to minister in the 5-fold ministries as pastors/elders, teachers, evangelists and such) that are battling sickness, pains, aches and all kind of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances - for sure we are under attack but not from God... He is not playing cruel games with His children... Jesus did not died in Calvary for us to live a defeated Christian life... we need to find answers to be able to minister His life and health to souls questioning God in the face of a crippled ministering army of sick Christians... we do need help from above!

Having my own personal memories of a sickly child and as an adult –even as a born-again child of God - prompt me to read Christian articles such as this from Dr. Larry Ollison on source of sickness and what God’s will for a Christian is to live in His health – prayerfully read on before you shut your mind to God’s rightly divided Word!

Understanding the Source of Sickness by Larry Ollison, Ph.D.

Once a man told my wife he was sick and he knew God had made him that way. His reasoning was this. He said God had given him stomach problems so he wouldn’t eat too much and gain weight. He reasoned if he gained weight, he would develop a heart problem and could die. So, in order to keep from dying of a heart problem, he reasoned, God had made him sick so he couldn’t eat and get fat.

This may sound strange, but unfortunately, many Christians believe that God makes them sick for a purpose.

It is true that God can and will cause all things to work together for good for those who love Him and who seek Him by the Spirit. The Bible tells us that in Romans 8:26-28. However, God’s Word does not say that God causes bad things. It simply says He causes them to work together for good for those who love Him and those who are the called according to His purpose.

We must understand the root sources of healing and sickness. The One who heals us does not make us sick and the one who makes us sick does not make us well. We must discern “right thinking” from “wrong thinking.” We must quit blaming God for the works of Satan.

Let’s examine the truth. What does the Bible say about God’s view of sickness?

In Psalm 103:3 it says that He is the One “who heals all our diseases.”

Matthew 4:2 says, “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.”

In Matthew 2:24 it says, “Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.”

Matthew 8:16 says, “When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.”

Matthew 9:35 “Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.”

Matthew 10:1 “And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.”

Matthew 12:15 “But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.”

Matthew 19:2 “And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.”

Everywhere Jesus went, He healed people. Let’s look at what He said. In John chapter five Jesus said that He didn’t do anything unless God His Father instructed Him to. So, what does that tell us about God? It tells us that He wants us well and He wants to heal us.

Jesus said He came to earth to destroy the works of the devil. He said in John 10:10, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

Who is the thief that steals health, kills bodies and destroys life with sickness? The devil.
Who gives life? Jesus.

Our own fault... but with God...

2007-09-07T15:18:00.000-04:00

Hi to those the Lord has called to be intercessors in prayer,

Prayer request:

Trusting you are doing well and able to have more peace and rest as you grow into your new season of life!

I do need your prayer for specific wisdom on how to go with a situation at my end affecting financially myself and my son with whom I live as his dependent... we are praying and doing steps to get out of overwhelming debt but nothing seems to work... situation is nobody's fault but our own and our wrong thinking about money and finances that with God help through prayers we are beginning to see on how to correct our thinking on this area of life...

however, consequences are nevertheless hard to walk through so slowly step by step on this situation... indeed the borrower is at the mercy of the lenders and we are praying for the Lord to intervene and give us His mercy with all these lenders...

seems we are in a no way out of it -which is a lie, since with God there is always a way out as He provides it... we need and pray for His divine intervention today in many ways with these Scripture in mind: Eph. 3:20

thank you!

In His love,

a sister in the Lord2! : )

PRAYER NEEDED: Another high-profile Christian ministers divorce

2007-08-29T10:32:00.000-04:00

The church is been shaken and ministers marriages continue to be in the cross-hair of demonic attack: there is another high profile ministry that announced during recent service that they going to divorce and she will be moving out of state: Paula and Randy White of Church Without Walls ministries in Florida... he will stay in as pastor it was announced.

Here link to comments on this news: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/357703/randy_and_paula_white_divorce_at_without.html

http://www.womenbygrace.com/christian-teaching/paula-white.htm

Thank you everyone for your prayers for married ministers (to another spouse in ministry or not) in the Church... as I received a news of a local church in Ashland, VA where the pastor announced that his wife is leaving the marriage - no reason given - but a pattern like when Dr. Charles Stanley's wife also left the marriage with no reason given and after reconciliation has been attempted by his wife: http://www.rapidnet.com/~jbeard/bdm/exposes/stanley/general.htm

WARNING ON ANOTHER CON EMAIL PRETENDING TO BE FROM IRS REFUNDTHAT IS TO GET YOUR MONEY!

2007-08-26T20:04:00.001-04:00

I received this message from a pastor with a warning from the IRS on con emails to get your money. I visited http://truthorfiction.com and found this link warning that email on IRS refund NOT to be true: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/i/irs-refund.htm

Here is the message from the pastor:

Dear friends,
I have been receiving emails for about 2 months now, claiming I have IRS tax refunds available and that I should email them to claim my refund to an email they provide. I recently visited the IRS site, and this is what I learned, and I figured I would pass it on, as this may be happening to others. Granted, I never responded to the emails, I just deleted them, but I think this is important information we should be aware of... Blessings.

The following information is taken from http://www.irs.gov

IRS Warns Taxpayers of New E-mail Scams

Updated Aug. 24, 2007 — The Internal Revenue Service today warned taxpayers of a new phishing scam, in which an e-mail purporting to come from the IRS advises taxpayers they can receive $80 by filling out an online customer satisfaction survey. The IRS urges taxpayers to ignore this solicitation and not provide any requested information. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers through e-mail.

Updated June 19, 2007 — In another recent scam, consumers have received a "Tax Avoidance Investigation" e-mail claiming to come from the IRS' "Fraud Department" in which the recipient is asked to complete an "investigation form," for which there is a link contained in the e-mail, because of possible fraud that the recipient committed. It is believed that clicking on the link may activate a Trojan Horse.

IR-2007-109, May 31, 2007

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today alerted taxpayers to the latest versions of an e-mail scam intended to fool people into believing they are under investigation by the agency’s Criminal Investigation division.

The e-mail purporting to be from IRS Criminal Investigation falsely states that the person is under a criminal probe for submitting a false tax return to the California Franchise Tax Board. The e-mail seeks to entice people to click on a link or open an attachment to learn more information about the complaint against them. The IRS warned people that the e-mail link and attachment is a Trojan Horse that can take over the person’s computer hard drive and allow someone to have remote access to the computer.

The IRS urged people not to click the link in the e-mail or open the attachment. Similar e-mail variations suggest a customer has filed a complaint against a company and the IRS can act as an arbitrator. The latest versions appear aimed at business taxpayers as well as individual taxpayers.

The IRS does not send out unsolicited e-mails or ask for detailed personal and financial information. Additionally, the IRS never asks people for the PIN numbers, passwords or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank or other financial accounts.

“Everyone should beware of these scam artists,” said Kevin M. Brown, Acting IRS Commissioner. “Always exercise caution when you receive unsolicited e-mails or e-mails from senders you don’t know.”

Recipients of questionable e-mails claiming to come from the IRS should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the e-mails. Instead, they should forward the e-mails to: phishing@irs.gov (follow the instructions).

The IRS also sees other e-mail scams that involve tricking victims into revealing private personal and financial information over the Internet, a practice that is known as “phishing” for information.

The IRS and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration work with the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) and various Internet service providers and international CERT teams to have the phishing sites taken offline as soon as they are reported.

Since the establishment of the mail box last year, the IRS has received more than 17,700 e-mails from taxpayers reporting more than 240 separate phishing incidents. To date, investigations by TIGTA have identified host sites in at least 27 different countries, as well as in the United States.

Other fraudulent e-mail scams try to entice taxpayers to click their way to a fake IRS Web site and ask for bank account numbers. Another widespread e-mail tells taxpayers the IRS is holding a refund (often $63.80) for them and seeks financial account information. Still another email claims the IRS’s ‘anti-fraud commission’ is investigating their tax returns.

SEVEN KEYS TO A LIFE OF PEACE!

2007-08-21T10:09:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

Most of us get sidetracked at times in the day to day battle of staying focuses in Basic Bible Truths as we try to live as obedient children of our Heavenly Father following the example of our older brother that is also our God almighty and our personal Lord and Savior – the Lord Jesus Christ… so I am glad that the Lord put in our paths at the right moment His reminder to continue the walk without going off into tangents and without giving up:

Seven Keys to a Life of Peace by Larry Ollison, Ph.D.

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1).

I understand that formulas and step plans are not always the answer to the problems we have in life. But sometimes they can define and illuminate issues. With that in mind, I’d like to give you seven keys to a life of peace.

1) You must know who you are
As a Christian you must know that you were made righteous at the moment you became a Christian and you must know that it was the blood of Jesus that cleansed you from all the unrighteousness in your life. Unless you know who you are, you are susceptible to the lies of Satan. He tries to confuse and make you think you are weak. Jesus said, "You are the light of the world."

2) You must know what the world is
You must be able to clearly define the difference between right and wrong. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 2:11 that we should not be ignorant of the devil’s devises. Otherwise, he could take advantage of us. John 10:10 clearly defines the source of good and evil.

3) You must know what your goal is
You must be consistent with your personality. You must be consistent with your vision. And you cannot waver as you head toward the calling that God has placed on your life. The only way you lose is if you give up.

4) You must not compromise your life
Compromise for the Christian is the kiss of death to your testimony. The world will sit quietly by as you do the work of the ministry, but will leap to their feet and point their fingers if you compromise.

5) You must always be in faith
Walking in faith will make you fearless. You must walk in victory and faith is the key.

6) Forgive and love
Faith will not work without love and love will not function without forgiveness. Forgiveness doesn’t mean compromise or condoning an evil act.

7) You must acknowledge what Jesus has done and rest in His work
In John 16:33 Jesus said, "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Since Jesus has overcome the world, we can rest in peace with His victory.

PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED WHEN WE PRAY THE PROMISE, NOT THE PROCESS

2007-08-18T14:05:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

here is a Bible study to help all of us to stay focus right:
Pray the Promise, Not the Process by Larry Ollison, Ph.D.

My background is a business background. Even though I was licensed and ordained as a Southern Baptist minister as a young man, in the decades since I have been involved in many business ventures. Everything from retail stores, marinas, manufacturing, banking, and even oil wells have played a part in my business life. Currently everything is going very well. Even though my life is consumed completely with ministry, I still have my thumb on the pulse of the business world.

Isaiah 48:17 says that God teaches His people to profit and He leads them in the proper direction. I have always believed this verse, but during my days in the business world many times I would pray the procedure instead of the promise. Here’s what I mean.

Many years ago I found myself in a devastating business situation. My back was against the wall and it looked like there was no way out. In fact, things looked so bad that I couldn’t even see how God could deliver me. I felt like I was locked in a room that didn’t even have a door.

When it looked like all was lost, seemingly out of nowhere a Christian businessman came along and offered a business deal that would completely bring me out of the financial pit I was in. The deal sounded good, it looked good, it felt good and I needed it. It was my only hope!

As a Christian I knew I needed to pray and I prayed daily that this business deal would go through because I saw it as my only way out. So I prayed day and night. Then all of a sudden the entire business deal collapsed. I cried out to God, “Why did you let this happen to me? I needed this business transaction.” In the silence, I finally listened to God. He spoke to my heart and said, “I didn’t block your deliverance. I saved you from destruction.”

Later the right deal came along and I was not only delivered from destruction, but also put into a better position financially than ever before. A few years later, I learned that the Christian businessman, who I thought was my salvation, was actually a crook who preyed on innocent Christians in their time of peril. God had blocked the destruction and made a way of deliverance.

We must pray God’s promises without telling Him how to fulfill them. He makes the promises and provides the process. Our responsibility is to believe in Him. Our trust must be in His promise without yielding to the fear and temptation to tell Him how to do His work.

For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Hundreds Die in Powerful Peruvian Quake

2007-08-16T12:29:00.000-04:00

The news is gut wrenching, specially for someone that lived in a temblor zone growing up!

The news headline says: "Hundreds Die in Powerful Peruvian Quake" and the link is at:
http://news.aol.com/story/ar/_a/hundreds-die-in-powerful-peruvian-quake/20070815220809990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001

Let's pray for survivors, the injured, the families with loss of relatives... also for God's protection against epidemics due to amount of dead, heat, lack of sanitation facilities...

How do I know if it's God?

2007-08-15T15:43:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

received this email today that helps in times of uncertainties of what is what... here is copy with Dr. Ollison's permission, may it be a blessing to you too:

How Do I Know If It's God? by Dr. Larry Ollison

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. (1 Corinthians 14:33)

As a pastor, I continually have people bringing problems and circumstances to me for counsel. Usually, after they have taken some time to explain the situation, they will give the solution that they feel they have for the problem. Then they look at me and say, “Is that what I am supposed to do? Do you think God gave me this answer? How can I know if I heard from God or could it be the devil trying to trick me?”

The answer here actually is quite simple. Follow peace. Over the years I have discovered that God always works through love, goodness, and peace.

When Loretta and I were first married, a man approached me about buying into an oil well. I was so excited. I had plans of being an oil tycoon. I read about oil. I studied about the oil industry. Only two things stood between me and the investment -- money and Loretta. Something didn’t seem right deep inside, but the mental thrill of being a millionaire overpowered me.

I sold my new Camaro and talked Loretta into allowing me to make this venture. In a few short months, the oil man left town with my money and I was faced with two major tasks. First, I had to swallow my pride and ask Loretta and God to forgive me. Secondly, I had to buy another car because I had no transportation.

All of this could have been resolved if I would have just allowed myself to have been led by the Spirit and followed peace. Instead, I was head-lead and ended up being a “lead head.” I learned my lesson.

So the next time you are wondering if something is God or not, ask yourself these questions. “Do I feel inner peace and I am I being led by the Spirit?” If you can answer these questions honestly, you have your answer.

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).

Feeling under attack lately? Rejoice when you are obedient to God... now fight the devil wiles!

2007-08-12T18:43:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

I always say that why to invent the wheel... so instead of trying to compose my own message I am printing the message posted by a dear sister that is right on target on demonic attacks and how to defeat the devils purpose to make us give up and be ineffective in ministry...

Under attack lately? Rejoice when You are obedient to God... now fight the devil wiles!

Everyone that is under demonic attack and oppression thinks they are the only one... what a lie... every Christian walking in obedient to Jesus directions is under attack at one time or another...

Here is a very good message and prayer on taking authority as believers against the devils lies and wiles trying to tell you that God does not care for us, does not love us, all all his evil wiles:

Subject: PRAYING FOR ALL OF YOU - LIFTING YOUR FAMILIES UP FOR DELIVERANCE...
Name: SHERRY
Date Posted: Aug 12, 07 - 8:58 AM
Message: Jesus gives his authority to his followers. His disciples long ago, and still today, have Christ's authority to be free and to be bless. The following prayer offers a model for us.

In the name of Jesus Christ,
and by the power of His Blood and His Cross
I bind all spirits in the air and the fire,
in the water and the ground,
in the underground and in the netherworld.
I bind all satanic forces in nature.
I bind all curses, hexes and spells,
witchcraft and occult activity.
I bind the interaction and interplay of all spirits.
I claim the protection of the shed Blood of Jesus Christ over... (name persons or places - including your own if needed!)

I now call Michael the Archangel
and his army of angels to surround, fill and protect this place... (name any locations where there is need)
I praise God for all of His heavenly angels.
I call them forth now and release them
to surround and fill us
with God's power and blessings,
in the name of the Father, and the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Praise Report on what God is doing in Iraq and souls receiving His salvation!

2007-07-21T23:33:00.000-04:00

Greetings everyone,

from time to time I post in different links messages of Praise on God's blessings to outreaches around the World witnessing His good news to souls in every language, nationality and race. The reason I do that is to enlarge our own vision of God's blessings through our witnessing efforts and ministry to others in our small limited ways and to share praises of God's 'total picture' of His harvest. So, here is another Praise report from what God is doing in Iraq through World Missionary Press. As I shared here before all literature are sent free of charges -sometimes even they pay for postages when the ministry cannot afford the expenses too...

*** Awesome news!

This past Monday we were blessed by a visit from Pastor Ghassan Thomas from a dynamic church in Baghdad, Iraq. He shared about his 1,000-member growing church--10-15 people are accepting Christ each week!--and that there are 17 new churches in Baghdad and 30 throughout the country of Iraq. (There were just two churches in Saddam Hussein's day.)

He reported that all the literature from the 20-ft. container WMP sent three years ago has been dispersed.

World Missionary Press materials are passed out to disgruntled drivers who have to wait two days to fill up their gas tanks! They are distributed in Samaritan Purse's gift shoe boxes and at clinics and through churches as members go door to door. Even people of the M faith accept our green Arabic New Testaments with respect. When asked if he needed more booklets, Ghassan said with his heart-touching smile that they are out and he would "wish" for more.

This is an answer to prayer--we have been praying for another opportunity to ship a container of God's Word to Iraq. Plans are now underway to send a 40-foot container with 2,000 boxes of Arabic New Testaments, 1,950 boxes of Arabic Scripture booklets, and 200 boxes of Arabic salvation coloring books to Iraq. We need to produce this literature quickly because Brother Ghassan would like the container in Baghdad by early November. (So we must ship it by early September.)

He has requested to keep the container itself, both for storage and for added protection from car bombs!

In a miraculous and amazingly quick way, God has funded this entire project--at a cost of more than $80,000--through a sensitive-spirited and generous couple who "happened" to be visiting WMP the day that Ghassan Thomas came to share with us. They were touched by this urgent need and wonderful opportunity.

Please pray for production to go smoothly through July and August for this Iraq container, and pray that the container will safely reach its destination early in November. A youth pastor who heard Pastor Ghassan's chapel talk eagerly offered his 115-member youth group to volunteer with extra production. Other groups have expressed willingness to help as well.

God is at work in thrilling ways to reach hurting people with the healing power of His Word.

Thank you so much for your interest in the worldwide ministry of World Missionary Press.

Your friends in Christ,

Jay and Vicky Benson

What the devil intended to use to destroy a community, the Lord is using for new life and faith!

2007-07-20T14:27:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

Be blessed too reading this message on what the devil intended to use to destroy a community, the Lord is using for new life and faith renewal! Read the news:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
** TORNADO DESTROYS AG CHURCH, BUT OPENS MINISTRY DOORS

Last year, Pastor Christa Zapfe called the 45-member congregation of Lighthouse Worship Center Assembly of God in Greensburg, Kansas, to 40 days of fasting and prayer. Afterward, she encouraged the parishioners to write what the Holy Spirit had spoken to their hearts. They wrote words such as "healing," "transformation," "restoration" and "protection."

Just as the biblical Joshua instructed the priests to gather stones to build a monument after crossing the Jordan River, Zapfe transferred the congregation's words to bricks and placed them inside the church. "We did not worship the bricks," she says, "but they were a reminder of God's faithfulness."

When a 205-mph tornado ripped through Greensburg on May 4, about 95 percent of the town was destroyed, including the church. But the bricks remained untouched.

Zapfe says the bricks will be used when the church is rebuilt - as a symbol of the Lord's protection. "We know God was with us," she says. No members of the Assemblies of God church in the town of 1,500 perished.

Lighthouse Worship Center plans to erect a tent on the church's property as a temporary sanctuary, while a new facility is constructed.

The Kansas District of the Assemblies of God, led by Superintendent Terry Yancey, responded quickly to the disaster, along with ministries such as Convoy of Hope plus teams of workers from across Kansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and elsewhere. A large tent was erected to serve as a feeding station for the community. More than 800 hot meals a day were served.

As residents descended on the feeding station, members of Zapfe's congregation ministered to them. Meanwhile, church-based clean-up crews, coordinated by presbyter Dwight Dozier, helped with the removal of debris.

When Steve Irwin and Paul Coroleuski, Convoy of Hope's disaster response coordinators, first arrived on the scene they saw complete devastation.

"Telephone poles and trees were snapped like toothpicks, cars were overturned and thrown everywhere, and virtually no buildings were
standing," Irwin says. "It was a city of rubble.

"God has given the church here and Pastor Christa great favor," Irwin, fighting back tears, relates. "We've gone street by street passing out drinks and sharing the love of Christ with people who were rummaging through the debris that was once their homes. People are so thankful."

Irwin is heartened by the cooperation across denominational and ministry lines. "No one is trying to bring glory to their own organization or church," he says. "They're working to lift up the name of Christ." An estimated 1,800 people gathered for a
nondenominational community church service on Sunday, May 13. The service included clergy speakers from various local congregations providing optimism and encouragement in the midst of calamity.

"We are a scattered, dispersed community," said Gene McIntosh, pastor of First United Methodist Church in Greensburg. "But the Lord Jesus is our Redeemer and is with us. 'Do not fear for I am with you,' says the Lord."

"Trust in the Lord with all your strength," said Tim Henning, pastor of Peace Lutheran Church in Greensburg.

Zapfe reminded residents and relief workers of God's promise in Jeremiah 29:11: "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"

When Zapfe looks across Greensburg, she sees more than rubble and a town that needs to be rebuilt; she sees an opportunity to rebuild lives.

"We need to pray that people's lives will be transformed for Jesus," Zapfe says.

Controlling your Tongue - 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study July 8-14

2007-07-14T14:06:00.002-04:00

Greetings,

Praying much for the Lord blessings as you read and think how this study could help
you:

Controlling the Tongue by Dr. Larry Ollison - 52 in 2007 BASIC BIBLE TRUTHS Study July 8-14:

James 1:26 says, “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.”

Your mouth can cause you to make your religion useless. You can go to church every week and be a Bible scholar, but if your mouth is speaking envy, strife, and hatred, your mouth will cause your religion to be worthless.

You do not access the spirit realm and the throne of God with your religion. You access the spirit realm and the throne of God with your words of faith.

Second Corinthians 4:13 says, “And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore speak.”

The spirit of faith operates this way. You believe it, and you speak it. You will speak what you really believe. That is why it is so important to watch the words of your mouth and the meditations of your heart (Psalm 19:14).

Let me tell you about an incident I saw. A Christian lady approached another Christian lady for prayer. She prayed what appeared to be a prayer of faith. A few moments later I heard the lady who prayed tell another person that the lady she had just prayed for was in great pain and needed to be healed. She also told that person to continue praying so that the lady would be healed.

This is a great example of how a prayer can appear to be in faith, but not be. Faith is in the heart and the mouth. A confession or prayer without belief in the heart is not a faith confession or a prayer of faith. A positive confession is good, but a confession of faith is where the power is.

Did you follow what happened here? A few minutes ago, this sister had prayed for this lady to be healed in the name of Jesus. The Word says, if we pray in faith, we are to believe we have received what we prayed for. But within moments, her confession was that the lady she prayed for was in a lot of pain and still needed healing. Without saying it directly, she confessed that healing had not taken place.

What does this mean? It means when it came down to it, the person who was praying didn’t really believe in her heart that God had done what she prayed for Him to do. Out of the abundance of her heart, her mouth eventually spoke.

If we aren’t careful, we could find ourselves doing the same thing. What we say we are believing for, we could unconsciously deny with our own words. When we are believing for something, we may be affirming and confirming our faith one moment and later denying it by the way we use our words.

The devil very subtly tempts us to use our words to nullify our faith. God wants us to agree with the Word, but the devil wants us to agree with his lies. Align your words with His word and see the miracle power of God.

FREE SCRIPTURE BOOKLETS TO GIVE OUT FROM WORLD MISSIONARY PRESS

2007-07-08T15:18:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

I received email from Jay Benson, President of World Missionary Press. The World Missionary Press offer FREE Scripture booklets to every ministry that request them: http://www.wmpress.org/index.shtml

Rejoice with us! WMP reaches its 46th birthday July 7, the date of incorporation in the State of Indiana in 1961. Praise God for His faithful protection and provision for this worldwide Scripture ministry during all these years!

We have been praying for a "quantum leap in income and a quantum leap in production" to more adequately respond to the awesome open doors before us. God is responding!
• Our booklets have now been produced in 320 languages.
• May and June in-plant production equivalencies were strong—6,722,800 and 7,706,500 respectively.
• In addition, we've been printing one million booklets per month in India since March.
• Other overseas printings are taking place in Thailand, Nepal, Myanmar, and Indonesia.
• Construction has begun on a 60' x 100' Shipment Workspace addition, scheduled to be completed by September.
• Yesterday a donation for $8,500 reached us to finance a Yale electric lift truck and charger.
• Income has been encouraging in recent months.
God is at work through World Missionary Press in the cause of reaching millions with His powerful Word. And you are a vital part of what's happening. Your prayers and support are very important to us.

> You are cordially invited to visit and request FREE Scriptures at our website: http://www.wmpress.org/index.shtml

God bless you and your loved ones in special ways, and may you experience a JOYFUL JULY.

Your friend in Christ,

Jay Benson

"Touch with Hope" - how to adapt outreach to single moms through local churches

2007-07-06T14:23:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

Just want to share with you ways to reach out to single moms through out local churches and ministries by adapting ideas from this outreach packet from the Assemblies of God Women's Ministries email I received today:

--------------------------------------------
** RESOURCE HELPS LOCAL CHURCHES MEET NEEDS

Assemblies of God Women's Ministries is helping local churches meet the needs of single moms through "Touch With Hope."

The "Touch With Hope Ministry Packet" networks congregations with agencies that can help single mothers and suggests resource ideas churches can offer such as life skill classes.

"It's a very practical way of helping the local church find out what's available to single moms," says National Women's Ministries Director Arlene Allen. "But beyond that, it is a mentoring program."

The one-year mentoring program pairs single mothers with mature Christian women for the purpose of growing as Christians and as mothers. Sharon Ferguson, director of "Touch With Hope" at Revival Outreach Center International Church, Northville, Michigan, says mentorship relationships often continue beyond the one-year commitment and have lasting results.

"We've seen two single moms in their 40s who, as a result of getting involved with mentoring, have gone back to college," Ferguson says.

The mission of "Touch With Hope" is to provide a Christ-focused ministry for single mothers in need and to identify resources to help these women reach and maintain self-sufficiency.

NOTHING'S TOO HARD FOR GOD - EIGHT SIMPLE TRUTHS SHARING THE GOSPEL study week 7/1-7

2007-06-30T16:44:00.000-04:00

_____________________________________________________________

TO ALL AMERICANS EVERYWHERE: “ HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!”
________________________________________________________________________

Greetings,

This is an email that shares information on a well organized step by step plan to reach souls looking for answers and in need of answers, in the internet and in real time –one-on-one witness, door-to-door, evangelism campaigns and churches everywhere, small and large, urban and rural, of any denominational background or lack of it.

Thank you for prayerfully reading on, visiting the sites to find out more about this outreach, then share with your board and congregation a vision for your group, ministry and/or church to participate and adapt to your own needs. Amen!

---------------------------------------------------
** “NOTHING'S TOO HARD FOR GOD – 8 SIMPLE TRUTHS TO USE IN SHARING THE GOSPEL WITH EVERYONE ** A MEDIA PLAN RELEASED Sutdy week of July 1-7:

Nothing is too hard for God. Based on that fact, the General Council of the Assemblies of God has developed a new, two-year media plan that went live yesterday, Tuesday, May 29, with the launching of two new Web sites: http://www.NothingsTooHardForGod.org –and- http://www.NothingsTooHardForGodCampaign.ag.org

"The sites are now up and running and orders are being processed," says project director Rick Griepp.

The media plan, whose official title is "Nothing's Too Hard for God," breaks down this simple truth into eight relevant sub-themes:

1- No person is beyond forgiveness,
2- No form of loneliness is too overwhelming,
3- No relationship is too broken,
4- No illness is too difficult,
5- No fear is too great,
6- No financial need is too large,
7- No loss is too devastating, and,
8- No addiction is too strong.

These eight themes are conveyed through eight incredible, but true testimonies, shared by real men and women who faced seemingly impossible circumstances. However, their experiences took them on a journey where they discovered that with God all things are possible.

"Though we have launched the ministry Web site with the first four testimonies, we are still finalizing the last four videos scheduled for posting in the next few weeks," says Griepp.

A number of practical tools have been produced to help local churches, ministers and individuals communicate these eight truths to the world. Billboards, television, radio and print advertisements (some of the most visible components) highlight these real-life testimonies and direct audiences to the campaign's ministry Web Site: http://nothingstoohardforGod.org

"This media plan is so much more than advertising," says project director Rick Griepp, "it's a platform for the local church to share the gospel and get their message out. Just imagine the impact of telling all the people in your community that nothing's too hard for God, and letting them see what God has done and is doing in the lives of others who call on Him. It opens the door to those who are searching for answers."

At the conclusion of each 8- to 10-minute testimony, Web site visitors are shown a powerful gospel presentation given by Scotty Gibbons.

In addition to watching the testimonies in their entirety, visitors can follow a link to The Commission on Evangelism's "How to Follow Christ" site, or click on links to find a local church or submit a prayer request to the AG National Prayer Center.

All the materials and resources created for the campaign point to the Web site and are available for purchase at http://www.nothingstoohardforGodcampaign.ag.org

More than two dozen different products are available, including a church roadside banner and video projection graphics to assist in making a strong church presentation.

Evangelism tools include door hangers, postcards, Neighborhood flyers and brochures. Static-cling window decals, yard signs, tracts and silicone wristbands can also be incorporated as personal witnessing tools.

Another new ministry aspect included with this campaign is the introduction of an eight-session small group study on DVD. Providing the full stories of the featured testimonies integrated with narration by Gibbons, the study comes complete with an included CD of printable questions, scriptures and thoughts for leaders based on the eight testimony themes.

"Churches of any size will find they can afford and use this campaign to take the gospel well beyond the walls of their church and deep into the untraveled corridors, living rooms and individual hearts of their community," says AG Communications Director Juleen Turnage.

The campaign's adaptability allows it to be used for concise, 30- to 60-day media plans, or it can be sustained in the media for up to two years. AG sections and districts are encouraged to work together with local churches to secure time and space for major media advertising such as television and radio spots and billboards. A manual is also available with instructions on how to buy media time, rent billboards, purchase print ad space, etc.

"Without question, this is a great ministry for increasing visibility, for sharing the good news with the lost and for reaching many who are looking for an answer to life," says Turnage.

To learn more about the Nothings Too Hard for God campaign, or to purchase campaign materials including a complete starter/sample kit, visit: http://www.NothingsTooHardForGodCampaign.ag.org or call the Gospel Publishing House toll-free, at 1-800-641-4310.

“The Salesman of Lies” – 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study 6/24-30:

2007-06-27T20:10:00.000-04:00

“The Salesman of Lies” – 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study 6/24-30:

Greetings,

I decided that is silly as well as frustrating trying to re-invent the wheel, so here is an excellent study for this week:

The Salesman of Lies by Dr. Larry Ollison

Have you ever met a con man? Well, I have. These unique individuals have the ability to make you buy something you don’t want or need. Sometimes you don’t even get it after you pay for it.

When Loretta and I were first married, we didn’t have much money. We were in college and we had a good, late model car we had bought from Loretta’s father. We didn’t drive it though. It sat in our driveway with two flat tires. We couldn’t afford used tires for the car. It’s a little embarrassing to admit this, but once we looked through the couch and found 9 cents. We walked two blocks to the grocery store and bought some instant biscuits. We ate biscuits that day. We already had some butter in the refrigerator, but that was all!

Now, I’ve told you this to illustrate how poor Loretta and I were during our early years of marriage. But as destitute as we were, the vacuum cleaner salesman still sold us a brand new vacuum cleaner along with all the attachments -- even though we didn’t even have carpet at the time.

When I was first approached about the vacuum cleaner, my first reaction was, “We don’t need one.” But after much persistence, I gave in to “just listen” to the pitch. After listening for a while and not being prepared for all the logic of the salesperson, I gave in and agreed to the purchase, partially because I just wanted to get rid of the salesperson and get it over with.

It may have been a good vacuum, but we didn’t need it and couldn’t afford it. The result was we even had less money and one more obligation we couldn’t meet.

Satan is the salesman of destruction in your life. He peddles his lies and tries to get us to buy them. We know we don’t need his lies. We know we can’t afford his lies, but he is a persistent salesman. He has done this before. He knows that if he can just get us to listen, he has a chance. Listening is the first step in being sold. If we as Christians wouldn’t listen to the lies of Satan, then we would not buy his lies. We need to guard our ears.

Satan is deceptive and he wants to destroy Christians. He wants us to be ineffective, powerless and defeated. He knows that one Spirit-filled Christian, walking in faith, has the power to move mountains and deal a severe blow to his kingdom. He knows that faith is the key. He knows his only hope is to destroy faith. And here’s how he does it.

He knocks on the door of our minds with his briefcase full of lies and he tries to get us to buy them. He keeps talking until we listen and then he goes for the close. One of his lies is “God does not heal today.” Another lie is “the gifts of the Holy Spirit passed away with the apostles.” Another lie he tries to sell is “God has a purpose for you to be sick. He put this sickness on you to teach you something.”

If we buy his lies, it will destroy our faith. Without faith we will not please God. Without faith we will be ineffective as Christians and powerless to withstand Satan. So resist the “salesman of lies” with the “truths of God’s Word” and he will flee. Remember the Word says in Ephesians 6:16, that it is our shield of faith that withstands the attacks of Satan.

PRAYER - 52 IN 2007 BASIC BIBLE TRUTHS STUDY WEEK JUNE 10 to 16

Greetings,

The key to have and overcoming Christian life is prayer… yes, there are other key focus of living a overcoming Christian life like accepting Jesus salvation one-on- one, making Him true Lord, learning to listen and obey the Holy Spirit guidance, exercising the measure of faith that God gave each one of us, and more, of course… but none of them will be opening the right door of God’s life unless we know how to pray in an effective way that will make God come into action in granting that request we are praying for ourselves and for others… please, read on!

Prayer Should Not Be Your Last Resort by Dr. Larry Ollison

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a very bad situation, and someone said to you, “Well, the only thing left to do is to pray”? How did you react? Did you think, “Oh my goodness, has it come to that?” Or did you ask, “Are things really that bad?”

Unfortunately, that’s how most people in today’s society feel about spiritual things. Many people never turn to God until they have absolutely nowhere else to turn. God is usually their last resort. So many times, Jesus has to wait until the deepest, darkest hour because that’s when people finally turn to Him.

Some people actually believe that God put them in the hospital just so He could talk to them. But the truth of the matter is many people never look up until they are lying flat on their backs! God had the answer for them all the time, but it wasn’t until they were forced to lie still and get quiet that they would listen to the voice of God. God doesn’t knock people down just so He can help them get back up.

James 1:17 says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow or turning.” God does not send sickness and poverty and misery just to teach us something. He sent Jesus to die on the cross for us because He wanted to set us free from the curse of sin!

Some have the wrong idea about God and spiritual things. Too many people don’t understand God, and it’s a natural tendency for people to fear what they don’t understand. What kind of images pop into your mind when someone mentions the spiritual realm to you? What kind of words would you use to describe the spirit realm?

Most people use words like dark, eerie, cold, mysterious and spooky to describe the spiritual realm. Whenever you mention spiritual things, they automatically get flashbacks of Freddy Krueger, Dracula, and all the other horror movies they’ve seen.

Many associate the spirit realm with death, because the only time they think about it is when someone they know dies. This constitutes a great victory for the enemy of our souls. Satan wants to keep our attention fixed on the natural and physical side of life. Only in the most painful moments of grief do most people consider spiritual things. It’s no wonder they have a dark picture of the spirit realm. Just like people associate a doctor with sickness and pain, they associate the spirit realm with death. This causes people to respond to spiritual things with death in the forefront of their minds. But God sent Jesus so that we could have LIFE!

God doesn’t want you to turn to Him as a last resort! He doesn’t want you to be afraid of Him. 1 John 4:18-19 says, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.”

Romans 8:14 says, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.”

He wants to lead you and guide you from the very beginning. He wants you to put Him first! If people would learn to look to God first, then they wouldn’t get themselves into the messes that they do. God is a merciful God, and He will always help you with your problems when you ask Him to. But He never wanted you to go through that problem in the first place. He has a better way!

Amen to this study on prayer.

Now, let’s exercise what we have learned here by examine ourselves from anything –sin(s) of omission [not doing what God ask in His word for us to do, like caring for widows and orphans (specially those related to us), caring for those in need] and sin(s) of commission [doing what the Bible tells us clearly not to do, such as gossiping, backstabbing, nurturing spirit of anger, not loving our wives (husbands), not respecting our husbands (wives) , living an impure and immoral life in acts and even thoughts in real time and in the internet too… and so on… before we pray for the specific prayer request we have been praying recently. Amen!

.
God’s blessings!

Prayer for God's answers in housing conudrum!

2007-06-13T12:49:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone reading this message,

Praising the Lord for His blessings at your end! Amen!

Today I would like your prayers for the Lord to show us His answer to the housing dilemma since seems closed doors both for staying at present apartment or moving somewhere else... this is a conundrum!

Thank you and God's blessings!

Ps. [co·nun·drum (kə-nŭn'drəm) pronunciation
n.
1. A riddle in which a fanciful question is answered by a pun.
2. A paradoxical, insoluble, or difficult problem; a dilemma: “the conundrum, thus far unanswered, of achieving full employment without inflation” (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.).[Origin unknown.]

noun- Anything that arouses curiosity or perplexes because it is unexplained, inexplicable, or secret: enigma, mystery, perplexity, puzzle, puzzler, riddle. See show/hide.

in general: * Conundrum, a puzzle or a riddle designed to test for lateral thinking

lateral thinking - Lateral thinking is a term coined by Edward de Bono, a Maltese psychologist, physician and writer. It first appeared in the title of his book The Use of Lateral Thinking, published in 1967. De Bono defines lateral thinking as methods of thinking concerned with changing concepts and perception. Lateral thinking is about reasoning that is not immediately obvious and about ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic.

Techniques of lateral thinking - Techniques that apply lateral thinking to problems are characterized by the shifting of thinking patterns away from entrenched or predictable thinking to new or unexpected ideas. A new idea that is the result of lateral thinking is not always a helpful one, but when a good idea is discovered in this way it is usually obvious in hindsight, which is a feature lateral thinking shares with a joke.

Lateral Thinking and Problem Solving - Edward de Bono points out that the term problem solving implies that there is a problem to respond to and that it can be resolved. That eliminates situations where there is no problem or a problem exists that cannot be resolved. It is logical to think about making a good situation, that has no problems, into a better situation. Some times a problem cannot be solved by removing its cause.

“ We may need to solve problems not by removing the cause but by designing the way forward even if the cause remains in place. ”

- (Edward de Bono)

Lateral thinking can be used to help in solving problems but can also be used for much more.

Do prayers really make a difference?

2007-06-12T23:11:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

This is an encouraging answer to the question: Do prayers really make a difference?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
** HISTORICAL PRAYER WARRIOR HONORED

Amanda Benedict, whose fervent prayers are credited as the reason for the existence of Central Assembly in Springfield, Missouri, and for the Assemblies of God Headquarters being located in Springfield, was honored on June 7 with the placement of a tombstone on her grave, which had been unmarked for more than 80 years.

"We were able to find donors to pay the whole amount for the red granite marker," says Assistant Archivist at the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center Glenn Gohr. "I had the privilege of designing the tombstone."

Just below Benedict's name on the tombstone are inscribed the words, "She prayed and fasted for the city of Springfield." On the back of the stone is printed a quote from Amanda Benedict: "...Pray, fight, hold... that Christ be lifted up" along with the scripture verse from 1 Thessalonians 5:17, "Pray without ceasing."

This past Thursday morning, along with a local news crew, several gathered at the grave site located at the Eastlawn Cemetery in Springfield to honor Benedict and commemorate the occasion with prayer - the activity for which Benedict is most known. It is recorded that for one year Benedict lived on bread and water, praying and fasting for Springfield's first Pentecostal church (which later joined the Assemblies of God in 1914) and for the city of Springfield.

It is reported that Benedict's fervent prayer led the congregation to erect its first permanent building in 1920 at the corner of Campbell and Calhoun in Springfield, Missouri, and it was in the basement of this building that Central Bible Institute started, which would move to its own campus in 1924 and later be known as Central Bible College.

During the 1930s, Central also planted several other congregations in Springfield and the church continued to grow. The current 2,300-seat sanctuary, built on the same block as the original church, was dedicated in March of 1992.

It was no coincidence that Benedict's memorial occurred the first week of June, exactly 100 years after Pentecost was brought to Springfield. Central Assembly celebrated this anniversary Friday, June 1, with an all-church banquet, at which Benedict's tombstone was on display. Both of Central's Sunday services on June 3 were also devoted to history relating to the church as Springfield and Central Assembly both celebrate 100 years of Pentecost.

Pastor Jim Bradford, senior pastor at Central Assembly, opened Benedict's memorial ceremony with a prayer and remarks followed by remarks by George Wood, general secretary of the Assemblies of God. National Prayer Center Director John Maempa closed the ceremony in prayer.

"It was a great privilege to be on hand for this occasion," says Maempa.

Darrin Rodgers, Gohr and Joyce Lee, all of the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center, also participated in the observance, as well as Jewell Woodward, secretary to the general secretary.

God's clear direction on the daily road of life - 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study 6/3-9

2007-06-10T18:41:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

Every so often the Lord remind me to stop and think on 2 Peter 1:3-4,5-12. I have never heard a sermon based on this chapter and I have never heard a bible study based on this chapter even when is one of the key instructions for every Christian to live a ever increasing growth for successful daily living in God peace, and rest and obedience. I called it "God's clear direction on the daily road of life"

So, here are the verses of 2 Peter 1:3-4, 5-12 –here in the Amplified version:

3 For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).

4 By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.,

5 For this very reason {of what verses 3 and 4 tells us} adding your diligence [to the divine promises], employ every effort in exercising your faith to develop virtue (excellence, resolution, Christian energy), and in [exercising] virtue [develop] knowledge (intelligence),

6 And in [exercising] knowledge [develop] self-control, and in [exercising] self-control [develop] steadfastness (patience, endurance), and in [exercising] steadfastness [develop] godliness (piety),

7 And in [exercising] godliness [develop] brotherly affection, and in [exercising] brotherly affection [develop] Christian love.

8 For as these qualities are yours and increasingly abound in you, they will keep [you] from being idle or unfruitful unto the [full personal] knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

9 For whoever lacks these qualities is blind, [spiritually] shortsighted, seeing only what is near to him, and has become oblivious [to the fact] that he was cleansed from his old sins.

10 Because of this, brethren, be all the more solicitous and eager to make sure (to ratify, to strengthen, to make steadfast) your calling and election; for if you do this, you will never stumble or fall.

11 Thus there will be richly and abundantly provided for you entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

12 So I intend always to remind you about these things, although indeed you know them and are firm in the truth that [you] now [hold].

Praying for those wise ones that will print or mark their bibles to continue to come back every so often to refresh the road to excellence that the Apostle Peter received from the Lord to guide us in a sure Christian walk.

Praise the Lord! To God be the glory! Amen!

God’s blessings!

What is God trying to tell you when your hut is on fire?

2007-06-07T14:02:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

God knows when we need His encouragement in some point in our lives. Today I receive it through this email that is ‘right on target’

Your Hut is on Fire....

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?"

Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

The Moral of This Story:

t's easy to get discouraged when things are going badly, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.

P.S. You may want to consider passing this on, because you never know who feels as if their hut is on fire today.

Be Blessed!!

Heb. 11:6 "Without faith, it is impossible to please God."

My comment:
Hope is the spiritual container, as you would say the invisible box, the boundaries, that keep our faith active and effective in believing God for answers to our prayers and fulfilling His purpose in our lives.

Habakkuk 3:19 The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]! For the Chief Musician; with my stringed instruments.

God's blessings!

WARNING TO EVERYONE POSTING IN THE INTERNET

2007-05-22T13:43:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

This is a timely email received on how what you post in the internet could come back to hurt you in many ways you could imagine! Read on:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
** POSTING IT? THINK AGAIN

If you are like the vast majority of Xanga, Facebook and MySpace users, what you post online is intended for your friends. But imagine that others are looking at your posts, too - some of whom you really want to impress, but haven't met yet. People who are in a position to direct your future.

That's exactly what's happening all over the country. Regardless of how private you may feel your pages are, the fact is, if you're online, you're in public. And college admissions counselors are keenly interested in what you have to say on your site.

"Posting on the Web is like standing next to someone and wondering why they hear your conversation," says Nate Mouttet, assistant vice president of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) in Washington, D.C. "Because Web sites are public information, it is something admissions offices can and sometimes do use. If it contradicts the way you present yourself in your application or interview, the admissions office will probably take that into account."

It's not that you shouldn't be involved in social networks online, Mouttet says, but you just need to be conscious that what you post is open for all to read.

Traffic on Facebook grew 272 percent for the year ending February 2006, making it the 66th most popular Web site, according to comScore Media Metrix. Traffic on MySpace grew 318 percent during the same time frame, rocketing it to the top social networking site on the Web and the eighth most popular Web site overall. By May 2006, it had reached 50 million visitors.

Author Dawn Eden started her blog "The Dawn Patrol" in 2002. While she didn't always follow guidelines in her writing, in recent years she started being more careful. She doesn't write about everything in her personal life anymore, for instance, but chooses details with a universal aspect to them worth sharing. And she makes sure the stories are nothing she'd be embarrassed about.

Eden's tip for blogging teens applying to college? "For one thing, know how to spell," she says. "It just looks juvenile to write on your blog as if you're instant messaging someone. A college won't be impressed if they see your online writings are all in obscure acronyms and misspellings."

MySpace has become more popular among older Internet users comScore Media Metrix reports. While teens ages 12-17 accounted for 24.7 percent of the MySpace audience in August 2005, by October 2006 they represented just 11.9 percent of the site's total audience. At the same time, Internet users between the ages of 35-54 accounted for 40.6 percent of the MySpace visitor base, an 8.2 percent increase during the previous year. You'd have to think some of these 35- to 54-year-olds are working at the colleges you'd like to attend and are checking you out.

Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida systematically searches for each applicant in social networking sites. "If there is any blatantly sexual content or content about drinking or drugging on the student's pages, those things would be concerns to us," says Buck James, vice president for enrollment services. "We would interact with the student about it and see what the response is."

James is quick to point out blogs can impress him favorably as well, such as photos and reflections about church involvement and missions work.

The concern about your behavior won't end once you've been accepted to college, either. No matter where you enroll, your online presence can directly affect your standing.

Slanderous comments about professors or descriptions about activities in violation of your institution's community standards can jeopardize your status. Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, temporarily suspended its women's soccer program last year after hazing photos surfaced online. At least one school, Kent State in Ohio, banned athletes from using Facebook.com at all. One student was kicked out of Arkansas' John Brown University in 2006 for activities he chronicled on Facebook that ran counter to the university's code of conduct.

Dan Mortensen, vice president for student life at Valley Forge Christian College in Pennsylvania, says that while VFCC doesn't routinely peruse students' MySpace or Facebook pages, when alerted to inappropriate content, the college is obliged to check it out.

"We are careful about confronting students just because of what they say," Mortensen says. "Expressions of concern about a college policy
do not typically result in staff intervention. However, if students are displaying photos or text describing behavior that is contrary to the college's expectation, that would concern us and we'd talk to the student about that."

It won't be just your college that's interested in your blog, either. Potential employers are forming first impressions long before the interview process begins. Even if some of your tales are fictional, the damage to your reputation can be very real.

A recent study by the executive search firm ExecuNet found that 77 percent of recruiters run searches of candidates on the Web to screen applicants; 35 percent of these same recruiters say they've eliminated a candidate based on the information they uncovered.

Jennifer George, former human resources administrator at the CCCU, Googled every candidate for hire to ensure that the information on the résumé and Web matched. In the process, she often discovered other insights. The candidate who wrote online that she "half-heartedly applied to a job in D.C." was, in George's mind, "asking not to be hired." Another candidate whose blog was full of expletives did not gain any points for the application process to the CCCU, a Christian organization.

In the end, it's not about censorship or free speech. It's about people deciding how closely they want to be associated with you. And what you say online can radically affect those potential relationships. Keep in mind - what you say or show online is in the public square.

What is your child learning today that you're not teaching? -52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study for week of 5/20-26

2007-05-15T16:42:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

This is a very well documented article that could be useful for any concerned parent, youth worker and community workers. Here is article for your prayerful consideration and use with your own children.

I know that for some parents with problem children and grandchildren these is too late since they never had guidelines or boundaries when the children were growing up... then expected them to have discipline and self-control once they because teens and young adults and are horrified when they are promiscuous, taking drugs and messing up... no matter how many sermons they listened to from parents or churches, the lack of clear discipline and rules confused and angered them as children and they are out of control and seemingly unreachable... to those parents: God sees the mess you have created... but He is merciful to forgive you your sins of omissions... ask Him for forgiveness and help now! DON'T EXPECT AN INSTANT MIRACLE! You cannot unbend a twisted that had been growing the wrong way... rebellious children have also a will... you cannot mold them now, is too late... but God still can reach them... just shut up... keep them in your prayers! Amen!

Here is the article: ** WHAT IS YOUR CHILD LEARNING TODAY THAT YOU'RE NOT TEACHING?

Lindsay Harrup, a colleague's 15-year-old daughter, attends church regularly, is active in her youth group, is an honors student at a Christian school and is an ace on her notebook computer. That final detail puts her within clicking distance of a worldwide Web of information and misinformation.

At her parents' insistence, Harrup's Internet service provides a thorough filter to preempt any pornography she might stumble upon. Even so, that hasn't stopped the occasional unsolicited and insidious e-mail from slipping into her inbox.

"I immediately put that person's address on my block list," says Harrup, "so I never hear from them again."

Porn is not the only detrimental thing teenagers have to contend with on the Internet and in the world. Each day, up to 500 times according to some research, children and teens are bombarded with advertisements packed with messages telling them they would be happier or cooler if they owned or did this or that. Add these to the countless messages they are exposed to from movies, television, magazines, the Internet, music, video games and books and it is easy to see why so many children and teens are swayed from one product to the next and even from one worldview to the next.

Media and advertorial messages have the power to alter a young person's worldview, self-image and consumer tastes. They do so by making cogent claims about what is important in life, what constitutes right and wrong, and what parameters children and teens should use in measuring themselves against society's virtual yardstick of success.

A recent trip to the mall takes my family past billboards of picture-perfect models promoting light beer, instant tanning, 24-hour fitness centers, body piercing and must-have luxury cars. If Harrup stands in line with her dad at the grocery store, she can glance over headlines on a dozen magazines dealing with subjects never discussed around the family's dinner table.

In a world where everyone from toy manufacturers to Hollywood executives are vying for your children's attention it is a parent's duty, say experts "Today's Pentecostal Evangel" spoke with, to be staunch gatekeepers regarding what messages children and teens receive and embrace.

Many voices, many messages

"The media has replaced parents as the teachers regarding relationships and sexuality," says Fred Stoeker, author of "Every Young Man's Battle." "Parents need to be engaged in their children's lives or they will not have the impact they were designed to have."

As evidence Stoeker and other leaders point to a host of disturbing findings.

* According to the "Journal of Pediatrics" report "Impact of media on adolescent sexual attitudes and behaviors," the average youth spends one-third of each day with various forms of mass media, mostly without parental oversight.

* A University of California study found children spend more time watching television than in any other activity except sleep.

* Two-thirds of those 8 to 18 years old have a television in their bedroom.

* The "Journal of Pediatrics" reports preteens and teens with a television in their room are more likely to use drugs, smoke cigarettes, binge drink and have sex.

* The average child's home has three television sets, three radios, two VCRs, two CD players, one video game console and one computer (Kaiser Family Foundation, 1999).

Mixed messages

For some children Saturday mornings are exciting not because of the cartoons they are watching but because of the commercials they see. Marketers excel at combining sights, sounds, special effects and portrayals of extreme contentment in 30-second spots that engage and thrill children.

Parents today might remember commercials from their own childhood, such as Mean Joe Green tossing his jersey to a little boy in the tunnel at a stadium in exchange for a Coke. Or the Connect Four commercial where the girl beats her older brother with four across diagonally and he says, "Pretty sneaky, sis." Or the theme song for Oscar Mayer bologna: "My bologna has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R. My bologna has a second name, it's M-A-Y-E-R ..."

Point is, commercials and the media in general have a profound impact on those who consume them. Recent studies report commercials aimed at boys generally emphasize activity, but commercials aimed at girls usually highlight the importance of appearance. Some preteen girls have taken notice and have allowed persuasive advertisements to taint their body image. In a 2002 study, teenage girls who viewed commercials peopled with thin models expressed lower confidence, more anger, and dissatisfaction with their own weight and appearance.

By mid-adolescence, children have watched about 15,000 hours of TV (more time than they have spent with their parents or friends). Doing so has opened up a whole new world of ideas and viewpoints from which to choose. Much of what children see suggests unhealthy behaviors (e.g., drug use, violent tendency and sexual experimentation), if not actually beneficial, are normal and expected features of adult life.

Another study suggests children with higher exposure to sexual activity on TV were almost twice as likely as kids with lower exposure to initiate sexual intercourse. Parents may feel they are adequately monitoring sexual content by simply avoiding premium cable movie channels. But network TV is rife with sex.

In a sample of TV programming from the 2001-02 season, sexual content appeared in 64 percent of all TV programs. Those programs with sexually related material had an average of 4.4 scenes per hour.

Portrayals that included sexual risks, abstinence or need for sexual safety were depicted in only 15 percent of the shows with sexual content.

Vicki Courtney, mother of three teens and author of "His Girl" DVD series, offers one blatant example.

"MTV not long ago had a program about pimps and their prostitutes," she says. "I was thinking, What if my child were to watch something like this? What would they walk away thinking? And we know what they're walking away thinking when they're exposed to shows even like Desperate Housewives and The OC - sex is recreational. The main message they're getting from media at large - movies, music, television, the fashion magazines - is a clear message that sex is recreational."

Courtney says parents may not be able to keep their children from all explicit material, but they can create teachable moments when inappropriate content sneaks through their defenses.

"When you see that Victoria's Secret commercial and you can't get to the TV fast enough, or hear a song on the radio and you can't switch the station fast enough, take that opportunity to say, 'Wow, did I just hear what I thought I heard? Did you see that? Did you notice how they parade those women around there? Isn't that sad how the world has come to a place where girls try to dress this way and they think the only way they have worth and value is if they can look like that?' "

Internal and external defense systems

A few months ago Stoeker's son married. The wedding ceremony marked the first time his son, who is 23 years old, romantically kissed a woman. Though unusual, Stoeker says, raising children who are sexually pure is not impossible.

"This is not an easy thing," he admits, "but if we want to have children who don't struggle with sexual issues it's the price we have to pay. We have to teach our children to own their sexuality."

That price included taking a firm stand against the influence of culture. The Stoeker family engaged in bold conversations about sex, pornography and what true love looked like. When his children wanted to watch a movie or television program Stoeker and his wife previewed it - even when it came to PG-rated films. "There are going to have to be some hard decisions," he says.

Sometimes that meant their children had to give up outings with friends. At school his children would sometimes be laughed at for the stand the family took. But the benefits, he contends, far outweighed the price that was paid.

Stoeker says the children were spared from emotional hurts and bad relationships. One study shows teens who have sexual intercourse wish they would have delayed doing so. Thousands of other teens each year contract sexually transmitted diseases or endure unplanned pregnancies.

When Stoeker's son was dating the woman he eventually married they were never physically intimate. Instead they concentrated on getting to know each other in every other way. Doing so, says Stoeker, laid a foundation for a strong marriage that is now being enhanced by the physical expression of love.

The key to raising children who remain sexually pure, says Stoeker, is for parents to fear God more than they fear man or even what their children think of them.

Courtney agrees. "Parents have to decide they're going to be a parent first," she says. "They have to clip this thing of 'I want my child to like me and I want to be their buddy.' "

Dr. Ross Campbell, author of "How to Really Parent Your Teenager," agrees and says many parents mistakenly step away from their parenting duties when their children become adolescents.

"It's amazing to see a parent who is taking the responsibility of showing their teenager healthy ways of having a good time," Campbell says. "Adolescents love that, they crave that, and they flock to that parent's house to be under good influence."

But that type of home is rapidly vanishing, Campbell admits. "Most parents are not aware," he says. "They just do their own thing and hope things are going to turn out right."

One of the keys to standing strong at the gate to your child's heart and mind, says Stoeker, is to keep them from being influenced by the media by not becoming influenced yourself.

"If parents are demanding their children not watch movies or programs with sexual material, they should do the same," he explains. "If a child doesn't have their parents' good influence they don't even have a chance to create their own mind-set, let alone a Christ-like mind-set."

The right foundation

No matter how sophisticated or savvy children and teens may appear when it comes to their entertainment choices and products they want, experts say parents must keep in mind children are just children. In other words children need their parents to guide and direct them.

Stoeker and other leaders say the rules children should live by should come from God's Word and not legalism. They also encourage parents to not back down under the onslaught of advertising and media messages that go contrary to God's Word.

"We need to decide that God has entrusted us with these children," Courtney says. "We are called to be stewards and care for them for 18 years or more and to help guide them and train them."

Testimony of God's miracle - 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study for May 13-19

2007-05-09T23:00:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

I read the story and just want to pass it on to everyone to read on God’s miracle: healing from chronic pain while studying lesson on healing:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
** YOUTH HEALED WHILE STUDYING LESSON ON HEALING

Miracles don't just happen to "somebody else." In February 2006, this truth became a reality to 16-year-old Brent Gwin when he was miraculously healed while studying a BGMC lesson about healing.

A knee injury, two years prior, had left Gwin with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). The condition causes sympathetic nerves to "misfire" pain signals to the brain, causing chronic pain characterized by various degrees of burning pain, excessive sweating, swelling and sensitivity to touch.

There is no cure for RSD/CRPS. Treatments involve relieving the painful symptoms, which Gwin tried through pain management. He also implemented cautious behavior, avoiding even the slightest trauma that could trigger the flare-up of the RSD.

At the onset of a particularly painful RSD occurrence in his foot, Gwin visited his doctor who did an MRI to reveal a very deep bone bruise in the foot and inflamed ligaments. But nothing was showing that should have been causing the intense pain Gwin felt. There was nothing else the doctor could do.

"We would just have to 'ride this out'- not what we, or Brent, wanted to hear," says Gwin's mother Paula. "At that point, we had no idea how long Brent would be out of school because he couldn't walk or sit up without excruciating pain."

Once home from the doctor, Gwin, who serves as the children's church teacher at Sunnyside Assembly in Van Buren, Arkansas,USA where his parents pastor, began to prepare his lesson for the upcoming BGMC Sunday. The country being highlighted was Iceland, and by no coincidence, the true missions story was about healing.

"When I got home from work, I noticed that Brent seemed to be feeling better," Paula says. "The longer he studied that BGMC lesson on healing, the better his foot got. By the time we went to bed Friday night, he was able to put his foot under the cover - a major accomplishment because even the soft sheets felt like knives going through his foot."

That Sunday, Gwin went to church without the aid of crutches or his foot brace. He was able to provide the children with a real example of healing, as he testified that the longer he studied the BGMC lesson on healing, the better his foot felt.

Since February 2006, Gwin has been pain free and has had no problem with the RSD, even after several accidents that would have ignited the RSD in the past.

"When we were going through one of the worst times with this disease in October 2004," Paula says, "I asked God why this was happening to my child. It was definitely one of the hardest things we've ever been through."

"As I was pouring out my heart to [God]," Paula continues, "a song began to play on the radio by Casting Crowns [a Christian group] titled 'Voice of Truth.' All I could hear God say was, 'This is for MY glory!' So, I just want the world to know how great God is!"

Matthew 13 - 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study week 5/6-12

2007-05-07T18:35:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

When you prayerfully read and think on this study today you might realize, like I did, that sometimes we let what we know about someone close to us because we are family, living in the same home, stop us from receiving God’s blessings through them… sometimes we turn to someone unknown because we do not know them well enough to realize they might have frailties, faults, idiosyncrasies that we might not like or be uncomfortable with like the loved ones that we know at home… We need to stop familiarity from interfering with God’s ministry through those closer to us!

May you be blessed today with this weekly study. Amen.

>>> Ministry in Your Home by Larry Ollison, Ph.D.

In Matthew chapter 13 we find where Jesus returned to his hometown of Nazareth. While he was there, he taught the people of his hometown in their synagogue. His teaching was so anointed and so much different compared to what they were used to hearing that some even said, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?"

This statement by itself would seem complimentary. However, they continued on and said, "Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?"

Then in verse 57 we find the result of their questioning. The Bible says that they became offended at him. Because they were offended, they did not believe Him. In Mark’s account of this incident, he said that Jesus could not do any mighty works there except that He laid hands on a few sick people and healed them.

Because the people of Nazareth became offended at Jesus, they restricted themselves from receiving great and mighty miracles in their city.

Let’s take a look at the reason they became offended. They became offended because they were familiar with Jesus and His family. As modern day Christians we must not fall into this same trap.

From time to time I will receive a phone call from someone who wants to make an "appointment" for me to lay hands on them for their healing or for some other type of ministry. When I ask them if they’ve asked the head of their household to do this, many times the reply is, "No, I would rather have you do it."

I do understand that there are times when we need our pastor or spiritual mentor to anoint us or lay hands upon us. However, we cannot allow the familiarity that we have with our spouses to restrict us from receiving from God through them.

Many of your greatest deliverances from the bondages of life can take place in your own home through the laying on of hands or prayer of agreement by one of the members of your own family. Don’t allow the spirit of familiarity to hinder you from receiving the blessings of God.

Jesus said, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house." Reject the spirit of familiarity and receive ministry in your own home.

DON'T GIVE UP! 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study 4/29-5/5

2007-05-01T08:42:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

It is encouraging to have a word of comfort at a time of testing and trials! I thank God for such a word of life that I can share with you as the 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study for week of April 29 to May 5: DON'T GIVE UP!

Don't Give Up by Larry Ollison, Ph.D.

Let me ask you a question. When you have a problem in your life, and you've done everything spiritually you know to do, what do you do then? When you have prayed and when you have confessed the confession of faith and it seems like nothing has changed, what do you do?

This seems to be a question often asked to those of us in the ministry. As a pastor of a growing church, this is a question that continually arises. So, what's the answer? What do we do when it seems like we've done all we can do and there is no manifestation of our deliverance?

This answer may seem simple, but here it is. Don't give up. When you know that you know that what you are believing for is God's will for you and promised in His Word, then do not quit doing what God has told you to do. Continue to believe God's Word and continue to confess His promise in the face of what you see and what you feel.

Second Corinthians 5:7 says, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." As believers it is disastrous to react on what we see, hear, or feel. Instead of reacting to the senses produced by the world, we must act according to the Word spoken by God. His Word brings deliverance and the words of the world bring destruction. When you feel like giving up, quit going by what you feel. Stand in faith and remember that Jesus said, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." (Mark 9:23).

Remember, you can do all things through Christ because He strengthens you to do the impossible.

BILLBOARD -52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study for April 22-28

2007-04-23T17:30:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

Welcome to 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study for week of April 22 to 28 with article by Dr. Larry Ollison, titled “BILLBOARD” - targeting the young crowd specially, but everyone will do well to meditate and apply to self too.

A Living Billboard by Larry Ollison, Ph.D.

"Likewise exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you" (Titus 2:6-8).

The nature of a Christian is different than the nature of someone that is of the world. That’s because Christians have the Holy Spirit living within them pulling them toward the things of God and if we yield to God’s Spirit, we will attain integrity. Christians have been born again. They are different creatures than the creatures of the world. Christians have the character and the same nature as God.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

As a Christian, you have been born of the spirit and you have the same spiritual genetics as your Father. The Bible tells us that whoever is born of God does not sin because the seed (sperm - AMP) of God resides in him (1 John 3:9).

Again as a Christian, you are different from the world. This difference, although it is spiritual, should be seen in the physical. A Christian should think, talk, and act after the manner of their Father, God. Everything we say and do should be an imitation of our Father. When Jesus was here on the earth, He made an interesting statement. He said that He did not do anything, nor did He speak anything, unless the Father spoke it first.

God is a God of character and integrity. If we live our lives and only say and do what He imparts to us, then our lives will also be full of character and integrity. The world will see the honesty of our lives and they will be drawn to the Source. Each and every day as we live our lives in the world, we will be a living billboard proclaiming the way to Jesus.

Study on Habakkuk prayer set to wild, enthusiastic, and triumphal music -52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study for April 15-21

2007-04-21T16:44:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

Many times to learn by experience makes a Basic Bible Truth to come imprinted in your soul! Amen!

So I want to share what I am learning, really re-learning, these past weeks based on HABAKKUK 3:19: "Study on Habakkuk prayer set to wild, enthusiastic, and triumphal music" 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truth for April 15-21 - please prayerfully read on:

Habakkuk 3:19 The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]! For the Chief Musician; with my stringed instruments.

Well, pause and think about what verse 19 is telling us… then pause and think to whom instructions are given to musically play the verse!

Now, let me bring up these verses that are recorded prior to this one in Habakkuk 3:1, 17-18:

1 A PRAYER of Habakkuk the prophet, set to wild, enthusiastic, and triumphal music.
Would you have prayed while making wild, ENTHUSIASTIC, and triumphal music?

We do not find that often in the Prophets… well, yes, we find that in the Psalms, of course, and we sing the Psalms of course, like:

Psalm 150

1 PRAISE THE Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the heavens of His power!
2 Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness!
3 Praise Him with trumpet sound; praise Him with lute and harp!
4 Praise Him with tambourine and [single or group] dance; praise Him with stringed and wind instruments or flutes!
5 Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with loud clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

but… a prophet given by God a ‘look forward’ a prophetic view of impending ‘bad news’ for disobedience and sinful conduct of the people… to the coming ‘chastisement’ of God’s people at the hands of cruel and ruthless conquerors…

I thank God that Habakkuk knew who His God is! I thank God that Habakkuk knew how to come under God’s umbrella of protection and peace at any time, and every time when he says in Habakkuk 3:17-18:

17 Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls,

18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!

This is not easy, not easy at all! Does not make sense to our common sense, does not make sense to our mind, does not make sense to our thinking, does not make sense to anyone that will hear and read it… unless, by the Spirit of the Living God our spirits are ‘in tune’ and we do know who our God is. Amen!

So, pause and think and meditate on this Basic Bible Truth study of the week of April 15-21. Amen!

God’s blessings!

GENDER, AGE, GOOD COMMON SENSE ROLE MODEL!

2007-04-21T10:12:00.000-04:00

GENDER, AGE, GOOD COMMON SENSE ROLE MODEL!

Greetings,

I did a double take when I watched this item in the news last night... The headline banner on the article today reads: "There she is — Miss Intruder’s Nightmare" - 82-year-old Miss America 1944 shoots out car’s tires with her trusty .38 - the picture shows her pushing her walker while walking her pets... you can read story, see picture at: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18237342/?GT1=9246

To me she is a gender, age, good common sense, role model!

THE ABC OF FAITH -52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study April 8-14

2007-04-16T15:21:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

THE ABC OF FAITH - 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study for April 8-14 study:

As I had been ‘Faith-challenged’ lately, I started meditating on what is Faith and what the Word of God teaches on what kind of faith for us to daily act on, believe for and confess –out loud so we can hear His words of Faith as we speak them and hear our own voices speaking them, which will increase our Faith in our analytical mind that must have a point of reference to ‘believe’ and also for the ‘spirit world’ to hear that we are ‘taking side’ so to speak with God – that way we bring God’s Word to His remembrance and remind the devil of his failure and future and our ‘more than a conqueror in this present age’ status and future position in Glory…

Here for your reading, study and meditation is an article about Faith:

The ABC's of Faith by Dr. Larry Ollison, Ph.D.

A = Act on the Word
B = Believe the Word
C = Confess the Word

Hebrews 11:6 tells us that faith is required in order for us to please God. But over the years I have discovered that many people don’t know what faith really is. Some tend to think that faith is just believing God. But it is so much more than that.

In order to have faith, we must first hear the Word because we know Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing. But once the Word has been heard, we must decide that we believe the Word we have heard. Once that decision has been made in the realm of our consciousness, then we must make another decision to speak or confess what we believe.

The Bible says to meditate on God's Word. But meditate doesn’t mean to think about God's Word only. It means to let God's Word quietly roll over our lips. Each time we meditate on God's Word, His Word becomes stronger and heavier within us until it finally drops from our consciousness into our heart. Then with the Word in our heart, we continue to confess only now our confession has supernatural power.

Jesus said in Mark 11:23 that when we speak, we must believe in our heart and not doubt and believe that what we say will come to pass, then we will have what we say. If we truly believe in our heart that those things we say will come to pass, then two things will happen. First, our confessions will become heart confessions instead of head confessions and secondly, our actions will automatically follow our heart. Then as we hear, believe, confess, and act on God's Word, the result will be we are acting in faith and what we say will come to pass.

So, whenever I speak to a mountain and it doesn’t move, I remind myself to go back to the ABCs. Am I acting, believing, and confessing God’s Word? That’s where I usually find my answer.

Scripture References

But without faith it is impossible to please Him. (Hebrews 11:6)

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. {Joshua 1:8}

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. {Romans 10:9}

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. {James 2:26}

"THE ROOT CAUSE" 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study April 1-7

2007-04-08T17:52:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

The study for this week April 1-7 is: “THE ROOT CAUSE OF SIN IS OUR WILLFUL REBELLION - NOT THAT WE HAVE TWO NATURES, AND NOT THAT ‘GOD MADE ME LIKE THIS’ -

The key Scripture is 1 Samuel 15:23: For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

The New American Standard translates: For rebellion is as the sin of divination,
And insubordination [stubbornness, doing what you want to do, not what you are told by God to do] is as iniquity and idolatry

And the Amplified version expands on by adding that ‘stubbornness’ is as idolatry and teraphim (household good luck images [charms, amulets])… looking meaning of charms, amulets and good luck home images I found this item:

An amulet (from Latin amuletum; earliest extant use in Natural History [Pliny], meaning "an object that protects a person from trouble") or a talisman (from Arabic tilasm, ultimately from Greek telesma or from the Greek word "talein" which means "to initiate into the mysteries.") consists of any object intended to bring good luck and/or protection to its owner. Potential amulets include: gems or simple stones, statues, coins, drawings, pendants, rings, plants, animals, etc.; even words said in certain occasions— wow!...

Because of King Saul rejecting God’s Word, God rejected Saul from been King over the Nation of Israel.

Rebellion (when self-will usurp the place of God in our lives) is one of the reasons believers need to be sanctified. When outward sins are forgiven the carnal self-life still exists in believers. Believers love God, but because the affections of their heart is divided, there is rebellion, until they love God with their whole heart.

Many love God, yet not completely. For this reason, many struggle to live above sin.

They want to live for God, but on their terms. This rebellion is why they originally sinned against God. God brings every thing that is in competition with Him to our minds, and what we do with it determines our loyalty. Loyalty is based on love. Jesus said, “For where your treasure is there will your heart be also.” (Matt. 6:21)

Jesus adds in Matthew 6:24"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, power, possessions, family name/pedigree, social position, or whatever is trusted in).

It’s rather ironic, because we believers really do love God and want to serve Him. Yet, our carnal self-interest hinders a total consecration to God. Paul said “Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” (Rom. 12:1) This is loving God with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds and wills. (Mat. 22:37). This enables every person to will one will.

As every sinner must decide to:

repent ( to change your mind, your emotion from what you are doing and go the opposite way… in this case from ‘doing your own thing’ to following God’s direction for a better life )

to have peace with God (‘peace’ is the English word translated from the Hebrew word Shalom: Strong's Concordance 7965 - Hebrew Shalom ..... A word study in the New King James version for SHALOM says: Completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. Shalom comes from the root verb Shalom meaning to be complete, perfect and full. In modern Hebrew the obviously related word Shelem means to pay for, and Shulam means to be fully paid.)

and be saved ( To rescue from harm, danger, or loss. To set free from the consequences of sin; redeem. To keep in a safe condition; safeguard. To prevent the waste or loss of; conserve. ),

every believer must decide to consecrate their all to God (To declare or set apart )

and be sanctified (To set apart for God’s use ).

Peace with God continues only through obedience, for there can never be peace while one is resisting God. Peace and comfort are found only in simple obedience… perhaps, not easy, but simple…

Those of us desiring to be a Christian while disobeying the Holy Spirit willfully resist God’s grace ( Divine love and protection bestowed freely on people. The state of being protected or sanctified by the favor of God )

While on rebellion, a Christian simultaneous to this rebellion comes an awareness of having grieved God… and emotionally feeling out of fellowship with God…

Those having these ambivalent feelings find it difficult to have victory. For trying to live for Christ without total obedience, is like a fish trying to live outside of water. How long will it live? Who knows? But ultimately we know that will happen if it doesn’t have water.

Every moment of every day sanctified believers make a conscious decision to obey Christ by walking in the light. Christians who walk in the light have peace with God, and there are no unhappy obedient Christians! Amen.

Our study this week is based on the article “the root cause” by Duane Smith published in Evangelists’ Perspective magazine, Spring 2000

God’s blessings!

Upsetting the Religious Mindset -52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study 3/25-31

2007-04-01T22:05:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

Here is “52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths” study for March 25 to 31, 2007 - an email reprinted with permission and prayerfully send – you will see also I have added my own comments in between these brackets { } Thank you!

*** Upsetting the Religious Mindset by Dr. Larry Ollison

In Acts chapter 3, Peter and John went to the temple to pray. As they went through the gate to the temple, there was a man who had been crippled from birth and had been taken daily to the gate of the temple to beg for money.

When Peter and John were about to enter the temple, the crippled man began to beg. At that point the Bible says that Peter fixed a gaze on him and said, “Look at us.”

The beggar gave them his attention. He was expecting to get some money. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

Peter took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were healed. The man started walking, leaping, and praising God and he leaped, praised, and walked right into the temple.

The people and the religious leaders in the temple were astonished at what had happened.

They recognized the beggar and knew this was a miracle that had happened.

It could not be denied.

Needless to say, the beggar wouldn’t let go of Peter and John, so as Peter and John stood in the porch of the temple with the beggar holding tightly on to both of them, they began to preach about Jesus.

In verse 16 they said, “And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.”

Then in Acts, chapter 4, while Peter and John were still speaking to the people about the good news of Jesus, the captain of the temple and the Sadducees approached them.

They were greatly disturbed.

They grabbed John and Peter and physically took them to a holding cell until the next day. When the next day came, the rulers, elders, scribes and many of the high ranking priests and family members who were gathered in Jerusalem questioned Peter and John.

They asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, preached to the religious leaders. Peter told them that the name of Jesus was the name that had healed the lame man. He told them that only through the name of Jesus can anyone be saved. They were amazed at his boldness. They marveled at his speech and realized that Peter and John had been with Jesus.

{THAT WAS UPSETTING TO THEIR RELIGIOUS MINDSET AND THIS THEIR REACTION}

After Peter’s speech, the leaders met and made a decision. They commanded Peter and John to quit teaching about Jesus and to never speak His name again.

When Peter and John heard this they said, “You decide whether God wants us to obey you instead of Him! We cannot stop telling about the wonderful things we saw Jesus do and heard Him say.” Even though the religious leaders had threatened Peter and John, they had to let them go. They didn’t want a riot.

So, what’s the point?

Well, when you truly believe and act in faith, you will see miracles.

But in so doing, you’ll upset the religious mindset.

That sounds like Jesus, doesn’t it?

"God is for us and not against us! -52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study 3/18-24

2007-03-24T16:47:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

Another important Basic Bible Truth we need to remember in a daily basis is that

*** God is for us and not against us! ***

However, everyday happenings tend to obscure this basic bible truth and the ‘facts’ of life make us wonder sometimes… so let’s obey the Lord and put His truth before our eyes and bind them upon our hearts…
We can find and read these versions of Deuteronomy 11:18 as key verse in the link at: http://bible.cc/deuteronomy/11-18.htm

WES: 11:18 Lay up - Let us all observe these three rules, Let our hearts be filled with the word of God. Lay up these words in your hearts, as in a store - house, to be used upon all occasions. Let our eyes be fixed upon the word of God: Bind them for a sign upon your hand, which is always in view, and as frontlets between your eyes, which you cannot avoid the sight of. Let our tongues be employed about the word of God, especially with our children, who must be taught this, as far more needful than the rules of decency, or the calling they are to live by.

MHC: 11:18-25 Let all be directed by the three rules here given. 1. Let our hearts be filled with the word of God. There will not be good practices in the life, unless there be good thoughts, good affections, and good principles in the heart. 2. Let our eyes be fixed upon the word of God, having constant regard to it as the guide of our way, as the rule of our work, Ps 119:30. 3. Let our tongues be employed about the word of God. Nor will any thing do more to cause prosperity, and keeping up religion in a nation, than the good education of children.

http://www.godsword.org/cgi-bin/gwstore.cgi?cart_id=2461470_76140&page=software.htm

Here for our encouragement today are scriptures of who God really is and how He feels about each one of us as His obedient children –perhaps slipping and falling sometimes but determine to ask His forgiveness when we do sin once in a while, by “omission” (we do not do what we know we should do, like helping someone with a kind word when they are down or sad, with a bag of groceries to some family in need, a paid meal at a restaurant for an ‘in between homes’ soul, when we find out someone is harming another person, -specially a child, and we do not stop it and we do not bring it up to the proper authority for those abuses to be stopped); and by “commission” (we do what we know we should not do, when we think over and over on how we hate someone or something day in and day out, when we do not forgive someone because of some offense they have done or we think so, when we tell tales about someone else behind their backs –whether it is true or not… and so on and so forth, which include also sins of the flesh and sexual impurities in fact or even by thinking on it…

In both instances the moment we are aware we did ‘messed up’ we should prayerfully go to God by prayer in Jesus Name to ask for forgiveness and help to be able to avoid such instances of falling off from living a life pleasing to Him.

Here are some scriptures on God’s love:

Isaiah 43:26

(AMPL)
Put Me in remembrance [remind Me of your merits]; let us plead and argue together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified (proved right).

(NIV)
Review the past for me, let us argue the matter together; state the case for your innocence

(KJV)
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

(NASB)
"Put Me in remembrance, let us argue our case together; State your cause, that you may be proved right.

(HOLMAN) (HCSB)
Take Me to court; let us argue our case together. State your [case], so that you may be vindicated.

Let’s think on this scripture in a daily basis and give God thanks from a grateful heart for His love:

Psalm 42:1 (KJV)
As the hart panteth ( a continuous state of never stopping the action of strongly longing for the Lord) after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

God’s blessings!

"Meet me in St. Louis" invitation to 25th Annual Women's Conference Sept. 20-22

"Meet me in St. Louis" - invitation to 25th Annual Women's Convention 9/20-22

Greetings,

When I received this announcement I looked in the calendar and thought this flyer information was way too early! But I think is at the right time to be able to let others know and for them to have enough time to make plans to attend it too... I am prayerfully placing the dates in my own calendar and look forward, God willing, to attend it for the first time.

Many Christians, specially women and women in ministry, {as well as many men}, would like to check out, perhaps attend Joyce Meyer's 25th Annual Women Convention, September 20 to 22, 2007 (Thursday, Friday and Saturday meetings) in St. Louis, MO -for full information visit her link at: http://www.joycemeyer.org/WC07/Home.htm

God's blessings!

Why another Oprah spiritual recommendation: "The Secret" is NOT the real Deal!

2007-03-21T13:29:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

Why another Oprah spiritual recommendation: "The Secret" is NOT the Real Deal!... Have you read on Oprah's book recommendation of "The Secret"?... the article today reads: * "The Secret": Is It the Real Deal? * and you can read it at: http://health.aol.com/ -which is AOL 'health' link...

This is not a new concept at all, it is the old 'positive thinking' with a new slant and a great guru pushing it... positive thinking is the technique and way to "awakening the wisdom and power within you" which makes it very appealing to everyone since it does not call for a Christian born-again experience as a way for God's blessings to flow into our lives but for our minds to 'mastermind' our destiny... which makes it such a dangerous thing... since without God we are nothing and totally lost, can 'nothing' create any good thing?

... this is the teaching of Yoga, here is headline from one site: "Learn the True Essence of Authentic Yoga- Connect within Your Mind to the Most Powerful Achievement Source of Natural Order - Make Anything Possible and Get Whatever You Desire Out Of Life!- Lost over 3000 years ago - With The Power of True Yoga You Can Be-The-Cause of Anything That You Want!"... this is used by many Gyms and exercise groups in community and clubs associations, and is even used in Churches today as something helpful...

... and in business we have Napoleon Hill and his teaching on "Think and Grow Rich" and "The Science of Personal Achievement. Here is what is said about Napoleon Hill: "Napoleon Hill is considered to have influenced more people into success than any other person in history. Born in a one-room cabin, he began his career as a journalist. His big break came when he was asked to interview steel-magnate Andrew Carnegie, who was so impressed with the young reporter that he convinced Hill to research and organize the world's first philosophy of individual achievement. The project took 20 years to complete. Hill wrote several best-selling books on the subject. Napoleon Hill's "Think And Grow Rich" is one of Nightingale-Conant's best-selling programs of all time still on sale and used today.

... there had been the same teaching with a robe of Christianity years ago through the teachings of Dr. Vincent Peale - here is article describing it - 'Peale applied Christianity to everyday problems and is the person who is most responsible for bringing psychology into the professing Church, blending its principles into a message of "positive thinking." Peale said, "through prayer you ... make use of the great factor within yourself, the deep subconscious mind ... [which Jesus called] the kingdom of God within you ... Positive thinking is just another term for faith." He also wrote, "Your unconscious mind ... [has a] power that turns wishes into realities when the wishes are strong enough."

So, readers and listeners of Oprah and others telling us that "The Secret" is a good thing to follow - Beware and be aware! Let's concentrate on the Word of God as guidance and on Jesus Salvation as our 'more than enough' provider.

A good scripture to read and memorize and meditate in daily is Ephesians 3:20 - "Now glory be to God who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of-- infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes."

To God be the Glory! God's blessings!

God’s blessings!

Christians and Jews as "the apples of God's Eye" -52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study week 3/11-17

2007-03-16T13:12:00.000-04:00

Greetings,

I read this comments today on Pastor John Hagee encouraging all Christians to have a pro-Israel stand: “We must stand with Israel”

America and Israel Are at War with a Common Enemy

[Jerusalem Online] Pastor John Hagee - Pastor John Hagee, who founded Christians United for Israel, told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual policy forum in Washington on Sunday: Israel, you are not alone. The sleeping giant of Christian Zionism has awakened. There are millions of evangelical Christians across America who consider the Jewish people the apple of God's eye; there are 50 million Christians standing up and applauding the State of Israel.

Iran poses a threat to the State of Israel that promises nothing less than a nuclear Holocaust. We must stop Iran's nuclear threat and stop it now and stand boldly with Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. Iran's president has not limited his maniacal threats to Israel. He has also asked his fellow Iranians to imagine a world without America. This is a clear threat to destroy the United States of America.

Why do Christians support Israel? Because Christians deeply believe we owe a debt of gratitude to the Jewish people. If you took away the Jewish contribution from Christianity, there would be no Christianity.

Judaism does not need Christianity to explain its existence, but Christianity cannot explain its existence without Judaism.

America and Israel are at war with a common enemy. It is a war of good vs. evil. It is a war of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness vs. the culture of death.

Of all the news stories I see every day this is the first one in a long time that makes sense to me. We must stand with God's chosen nation and chosen people and fight by their side till Jesus returns.

GE 12:3= And I will bless them that bless thee, and CURSE him that CURSEth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

I agree with Pastor Hagee and my reply is this week’s 52 in 2007 weekly message for every Christian to read, reflect and make a decision to support Israel.

All obedient Christian should pray and believe as King David did in Psalm 17:8 (King James Version - Public Domain): "Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings…"

Amen!

You are welcome and encouraged to visit and read on why the Jews had been persecuted throughout mankind history at: http://christianactionforisrael.org/jereturn/appleye.html

My message to this Christian is: “Thank you for your message on Pastor John Hagee pro-Israel stand!”

As a partner with Pastor John Hagee with his ministries to Jewish people I thank God for his ministries to His people!

Anyone interested to learn the many-faced ministries of John Hagee Ministries can visit website as links with information at: http://www.jhm.org/

HOW TO UNCLUTTER OUR MINDS - 52 in 2007 BASIC BIBLE TRUTHS for the week of March 3-10th

2007-03-10T15:39:00.000-05:00

Greetings,

This is a short email that will give everyone a time to think and reflect and prayerfully will make us all start in the right path to an easier walk in our Christian life…

In the middle of re-organizing my home after a week of diggings and new pipes put in I get overwhelmed into how much clutter of papers and books and empty boxes that had been accumulating little by little and that now must be clear up after the clean up…

The mind comes to a point that does not want to make one single more decision of what to do with the piece of paper on hand and the body follows with the shut eyes and the hand dropping the paper anywhere while the feet get a life of their own and start trying to move away from the work to be done…

And to think!... this is only a little cleaning up, not a moving packing!... just a bit of physical extra work, that’s all!...

Imagine then to try to unclutter our minds, our spiritual lives… a much more important issue that will affect us into eternity… so, here then is a little reading already given to a minister of the Word by the Spirit of God, for which I am very grateful, and that everyone can read on The Uncluttered Heart , what causes it and a way to Clearing Out the Clutter when you visit link at: http://www.kcm.org/studycenter/articles/faith_hope/uncluttered_heart.php

God’s blessings!
