II THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 1
1 ¶ Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
5 ¶ Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed ) in that day.
11 ¶ Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

States set to ring in Independence Day sans budget
By ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS, Associated Press Writer Andrew Welsh-huggins, Associated Press Writer Fri Jul 3, 4:07 am ET
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090703/ap_on_bi_ge/us_state_budgets
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Several states are facing the prospect of government shutdowns and program cuts as they enter the first weekend of the fiscal year and July Fourth holiday without a budget in place.
"This downturn, even more so than previous downturns, really is affecting every state right now," said Brian Sigritz, a staff associate with the National Association of State Budget Officers.
The Washington-based organization says 42 states wrestled with budget deficits this spring, the most since it began tracking budgets 30 years ago.
States weathered similar problems in the recessions of the early 1980s, 1990s and earlier this decade. The confluence of so many problems hammering the economy at once make the present situation seem dire.
"Numerous things look worse than some past recessions," said Bert Waisanen, a fiscal analyst with the Denver-based National Conference of State Legislatures. "The housing market is worse. Industrial production is worse. Wages are nearly worse."
The sputtering economy has created an across-the-board drop in tax collections. Taxes ranging from sales to personal income to property are all down, Sigritz said.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a fiscal emergency and ordered state offices closed three days a month to save money as state officials began paying bills with IOUS on Thursday.
Deep budget cuts have already forced California school districts to cancel summer school programs, moves that have affected — among others — elementary and middle school students in Los Angeles, which has the country's second largest district.
School officials in North Carolina, Oregon, Florida and other states have also cut or limited summer classes.
North Carolina's budget crunch apparently wasn't bad enough to persuade lawmakers to work through the holiday weekend.
House and Senate negotiators said Thursday they will go home rather than iron out differences in taxes and spending, despite Gov. Beverly Perdue's stern advice to finish the budget.
Pennsylvania schools still don't know how much state money they'll receive and may have to reopen their budgets to add or subtract spending. The state's budget year began Wednesday with no sign of a deal between lawmakers and Gov. Ed Rendell.
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and lawmakers are stymied over a proposal to allow casino-style gambling to raise money. As a result, the state started its budget year with a one-week temporary budget.
That interim spending plan was already putting a strain on some social service groups.
The state food pantry agency has only $163,000 available to spend on produce this week, regardless of how much more they could purchase. The group spends $400,000 a week at the height of Ohio's harvest.
"This budget impasse is impacting real Ohioans," said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Food Banks. "People for the first time in their lives are now finding themselves standing in the food line because they've lost their jobs, their incomes aren't stretching."

It has become increasingly apparent that the US dollar has caught the fiat currency disease, where too many units of account are created. This disease is fatal, and hundreds of fiat currencies buried in the fiat currency graveyard throughout history have succumbed to it.
By creating too many units of account out of thin air, the Federal Reserve has sealed the dollar’s inflationary fate.

The Inevitably Marxist Zoo, Part 1
The authors of a new best seller, Animal Spirits, appeared briefly on The Glenn Beck Show and, despite Beck's apparent enthusiasm for the work, I saw a surprising defense by the authors of the Obama administration and its government's draconian intervention within the admittedly ferocious jungles and "animal spirits" of a free market economy.

Superiors vs. Inferiors
No matter what you believe or disbelieve, mankind operates within an on-going spiritual battle. As above-so below, good vs. evil is our constant reality. So, mankind divides himself into two sides - superior mankind and inferior mankind. This division has always been determined by those who acquire great wealth and those who simply exist or get by. How wealth is acquired matters not in terms of goodness because wealth trumps goodness - always has and always will. Therefore, wealth = goodness and goodness = superiority.......

Control central, the Obama administration continues to intrude upon, manipulate and take over industry after industry. First we have seen the intrusion and distortion with America’s banks. We know now that many Banks needed help from the Tarp fund AND MANY DID NOT, but amazingly all the main banks were forced to take Tarp funds or they were told no one would get any. Now many have been told they are not allowed by congress to pay back the money…..certainly not on THEIR terms and from THEIR realities. Of course, watch this Government spin their plans to control, run and manipulate the banking industry.......

PSALMS 145
1 ¶ David's Psalm of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 ¶ All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Isaiah 14:12-17
12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17. That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
Verse 5 is one of my favorite verses.
Psalm 30
1. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2. O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4. Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6. And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7. LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8. I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10. Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12. To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever

With all that is going on in the world and our personal lives, we need to remember that Jesus told us to let not our hearts be troubled nor to let them be afraid. We need to seek God's wisdom in these tough times and pray and do all we can, then trust God to do the rest for us. The news is generally bad every day that we see on TV and read in the newspapers and internet, but God's news is good. Satan wants us to live in fear and be depressed and feel hopeless, but God wants good things for us. We need to keep on God's side and study his Word. I have been guilty of listening to too much TV news lately and although we need to be aware of what is going on, we know that we live in this world, but we are not of this world. So, do not worry, but speak out loud God's Word to all your problems. (Just a few words of comfort to myself and I hope to others who may sometimes feel down.)
John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

DANIEL 12
1 ¶ And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 ¶ Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
John 14
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
2 Timothy 3
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Four American Christians are staging a sit-in at a Chinese airport, which they refuse to leave until the 666authorities return 315 Bibles they were trying to bring into the country.
The group - from Vision Beyond Borders - spent the night sleeping on couches at Kunming airport in southern Yunnan Province after customs 666officials removed the Chinese language Bibles from their luggage.
The Bibles were printed in Indonesia, transferred to Thailand and transported to Kunming in duffel bags by the Wyoming-based group which distributes Bibles around the world -

1 million plan to bring prayer to Washington -
'There are moments in history when a door for change opens' -
Posted: August 02, 2008

2008 WorldNetDaily -
Organizers of a Christian prayer ministry are expecting over a million people will fill the National Mall in Washington, D.C, on Aug. 16 for a 12-hour assembly of fasting and prayer for the country.
The group is called TheCall, and according to their website, volunteers are working hard to gather people from every state in the country to fill the massive park between the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol on one day to fervently ask God for his undeserved mercy on the nation.
Originally inspired by the 1997 Promise Keepers "Stand in the Gap" assembly at the same location, TheCall held its first D.C. prayer rally on Sept. 2, 2000, counting over 400,000 attendees. Since then, the group has held rallies in several cities in the U.S., including a rally of 70,000 in Nashville and 85,000 in New York City, according to the group's website. The group has also held prayer gatherings oversees, but told television broadcaster GOD TV this year's TheCall DC will surpass all previous gatherings in size.
TheCall's founder, Lou Engle, says of the gathering, "There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens. It is in these moments that key men and women risk everything to become the hinge of history. That pivotal point determines which way the door will swing. Join us in a massive gathering of united generations desperate for revival and real change in our nation."
TheCall has produced a video, which can be seen below, highlighting past prayer rallies and promoting this year's TheCall DC gathering:
According to the group's website, their "divinely initiated, multi-racial, multi-generational, and cross-denominational" gatherings are not festivals or conferences, but solemn assemblies of worship and prayer. The site makes it clear in several places that though the event will be attended and led by well-known Christian leaders and artists, the group refuses to publicize any personalities.
"TheCall does not seek to entertain, but to encounter God," the website says. "There will be no advertised bands and no promoted speakers, as our purpose is not to promote any man or ministry."
For the two days prior to the prayer gathering, however, the group does host a pastors and leaders conference that will feature speakers Ron Luce, Tony Perkins, Mike Huckabee, TheCall founder Lou Engle, and Promise Keepers founder Bill McCartney.

WRONG NUMBER
This story involves a pastor of a store front church. The pastor's church is called The 'Almighty God' Tabernacle.
On a Saturday night several weeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided to call his wife before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife didn't answer the phone. The pastor let it ring many times. He thought it was odd that she didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try again in a few minutes.
When he tried again she answered right away. He asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said that it hadn't rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways.
The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church office, which was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night.
The pastor couldn't figure out what the guy was talking about. Then The guy said, "It rang and rang, but I didn't answer.
"The pastor remembered the mishap an apologized for disturbing him, explaining that he'd intended to call his wife.
The man said, "That's OK. Let me tell you my story. You see, I was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before I did, I prayed, 'God if you're there, and you don't want me to do this, give me a sign now. 'At that point my telephone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID, and it said: 'Almighty God.' I was afraid to answer!"

"It was given to YOU!!,,,,,USE IT OR LOSE IT!!!!!!!!!"
"I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed I will also do it."
Num 23:19 God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Jhn 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Jhn 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
Whatsoever,,,,,Any Thing,,,,,IN HIS NAME! What is HIS NAME?
Rev 19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
He is obligated to do "it", if the "it" is His Word. Praying something that is not aligned with His word leaves God with no obligation to "do it".
As bad as we may hurt, as much as we need,,,,,,His word is the cause of Him "doing it", because He is moved by faith, not by our needs. Where does our faith come from,,,,Him___The Word
Whatever we pray in/by/with His name(THE WORD), He'll do it. Now there is one that can stop it,,,,no, it's not the devil,,,,it's you, it's me, mankind and their traditions(teachings filled with unbelief), which make the Word "of none effect"(to render void, deprive of force or authority). Mat 13:58 And he did not many mighty works(dynamis) there because of their unbelief(apistia). Man rendering God's Word void,,, depriving it of force or authority!!
Definition of the Greek word for "mighty works"___dynamis, which God had anointed Jesus with, and us!! If that dynamis would not work for Him,,,why lay the blame on God's will when it's not working for us,,,the reason it's not working is as follows. It's called apistia. It's not because God's withholding something. The apistia of man stopping the power of God! It stopped Jesus and it will stop you too,,,if you let it!!
dynamis:
1) strength power, ability
a) inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth
b) power for performing miracles
c) moral power and excellence of soul
d) the power and influence which belong to riches and wealth
e) power and resources arising from numbers
f) power consisting in or resting upon armies, forces, hosts
The Greek word translated unbelief____apistia:
1) unfaithfulness, faithless
2) want of faith, unbelief
3) weakness of faith
If you find yourself having problems possessing the promise,,,quit speaking the problems(the more you hear the problems, the more faith will come in the problems) and only speak the promise, giving thanks for it even before it is manifest. It's only through hearing the Word that we can overcome apistia. Stop speaking what you have, and begin speaking God's promise concerning what you desire(the more you hear the promise spoken, the more faith will come in the promises),,,,,your cup may begin running over sooner than you think:)
What are you releasing your faith in,,,the problem or the promise. Listen to what you keep saying, and you will know where your faith lies. Your tongue will reveal your heart:)
He hath said, and shall He not do it?
Reassuring thoughts to sleep on:)
nitee all-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Thank you Father, that we who dwell in your secret place, abide under your, the Almighty's, shadow.
We will say of you Lord. you are our refuge and our fortress: our God; in you will we trust.
Surely you will deliver us from the snare of the trapper, from the calamity of plagues. You will cover us with your feathers, and under your wings we will trust: your truth will be our shield and buckler.
We will not fear the terror by night; nor the arrow that flies in the day; nor the plagues that walk in darkness, nor the destruction that ruins and devastates at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at our side, and ten thousand at our right hand; it will not come near us.
Thank you Lord that only with our eyes will we behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because we have made you, Lord, our refuge, the most High our habitation; there shall be no evil befall us, neither shall any wound or disease come near our dwelling.
It's because you, Lord, give your angels charge over us, to keep us in all our ways. They bear us up in their hands, lest we dash our foot against a stone.
We shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and and the dragon shall we trample under foot.
Because we have set our love upon you, therefore will you deliver us: You will set us on high, because we know your name. We call upon you and you answer us: You are with us in trouble, and will deliver us, and honour us.
WITH LONG LIFE YOU WILL SATISFY US, AND SHOW US YOUR SALVATION.
Thank you Father for your promises to us of life, and that more abundantly. Teach us how to receive it ALL, in your Mighty Name,,,AMEN AND AMEN```
"It was given to YOU!!,,,,,USE IT OR LOSE IT!!!!!!!!!"
The only think I struggle with is this comment:
(((((If He(the Word) healed and delivered this one, He(the word) will do it for you:))))))))))
The Word is seed. It shows no partiality to anyone or anything but being nurtured and watered,,,,and always will reproduce itself, just like any seed, if it is not sown and then dug up or starved.
Every seed reproduces "ONLY" itself! If it's Healing seed, it will produce healing,,,,if it's a good seed,,,,and I dare say God's Word is good seed. It just needs planting in good, nutritious soil and then watered, not dug up or choked out by sowing multitudes of contending seeds:) The prayer of faith!

Luk 9:57 ¶ And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain [man] said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Luk 9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head.
Luk 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Luk 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Luk 9:61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
Luk 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit(useful) for the kingdom of God
Can't plow straight looking backwards~
"STAY FOCUSED! You will never get to where you want to go, unless you leave where you are,,,,unless it's the same place."
Good advice,,,,thank you Lord:)
Church, take heed!
Jam 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Jam 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Jam 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Jam 1:8 A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.
Jam 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted(tested), I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
Jam 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Jam 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Jam 1:19 ¶ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Jam 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Jam 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
Jam 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was
Jam 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Jam 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is] vain
Let they with ears to hear, hear what the Spirit sayeth:)
Modern Day Miracle!
In the mid 1980's, there was one who attended church services on a Sunday, as was his custom. Upon leaving, as he reached out with his left hand to close the drivers door of his truck, he felt a slight pain in his left shoulder.
Now, as we all know, those types of things are not uncommon, but what was uncommon in this situation was what followed over the next three months. You see, he didn't pay that much attention, just a fleeting thought of "hmmmm, wonder what that was".
He soon learned, it was the beginning of what turned out to be excruciating pains to come. Pains that became so intense that he could walk only by hardly bending his knees,,,so intense that he could only sleep in his recliner, and there only in certain positions,,,,,,pains throughout his body in his joints.,,,,hot, shooting pains that would bring sweat to his forehead, and reluctance to even move.
Now, being what he considered a man of faith, at the obvious beginning of the progression of the intensity, frequency, and locations of these pains, he began to claim some scriptures relating to healing as his promises from God. Having done the same in other instances, he was not without confidence that the praying of the Word would work, and the pains would subside.
Little did he know, that he had just entered into a battle, not only for quality of life, but for his life itself. The pain intensified in occurrence and discomfort. The more he prayed, the worse it seemed to get. This guy got to the point that he only went to church and to work,,,,the rest of his time was spent in his recliner.
At work, his fellow employees questioned him, saying "what's wrong with you", for he could barely walk. He would reply, I'm well. "Yeah, we can see you're well,,,you can hardly move!" Again he would reply, it is well with me, I'm healed, and there is nothing wrong! As he departed their presence, he could hear them mocking him,,,"he's crazy, he's got problems" etc.
At church, the same thing happened. Those who had sat under the same teaching as he, mocked his confessions of faith and walked away laughing and making signs describing him as crazy. His so called brethren, rather than agree with him and his confession, adamantly rejected what he was doing, considering him a fool.
During the time of these happenings, he never told anyone but his wife what was going on in his flesh. Not his boss, not his friends, not his family or pastor. After a while, he went to his doctor, and after being examined, he was given a potentially devastating report. Here was a 40 year old man with a family to support that went from an active life of production and enjoyment, to a life of continued physical, and now mental anxiety.
He was told that it appeared to be rheumatiod arthritis and there was no medical cure for it,,,,that it was a chronic and progressive disease. The prognosis was grim.
"But doctor, is their nothing that can be done?"
"Nothing but treat the pain as best we can."
The man, while hearing these things, was fighting absolute terror, and feelings of hopelessness, with thoughts of chronic disease(having witnessed those suffering with the same in wheelchairs) flooding his mind. He left the doctor with very mixed emotions, and in a state of great confusion, thinking ,,,how did this happen, what did I do to cause this, where did I miss it, why me? He felt that he tried to live right and do right, so what was this all about.
Knowing scripture, he knew what Jesus had said about the thief. He recognized that there was stealing and destruction in this situation if it was not stopped. Even before getting off the parking lot of the clinic, he knew what he must do. This was an all out attack to destroy his family and ultimately take his life, so he made a decision. He would bury himself in the Word of Healing and Deliverance. Good news to him at this time were the scriptures related to healing and deliverance from this bondage that he found himself in.
When he got home, he told his wife,,,,"no news papers, no magazines, no novels, no playing, no conversations ,,,no, no, no,,,,I'm going to stay in the Word until I'm free from this thing." So, that's what he did. The rest of the family carried on, but he stayed in the Word, including a book called "Christ the Healer" by FF Bosworth and another "Divine Healing" by TL Osborne. This went on for weeks. All the while, he never stopped confessing his wellness, his healing, his deliverance, all based on promises found in the scriptures.
Then came another Sunday. No reason to think it would be any different than any other Sunday, but was he in for a surprise. As he was sitting in the worship service, during the preaching of the message, the Pastor stopped and fixed his eyes on this hurting man.
Before I relate more, you need to understand that this Pastor is one of order. The attendance that morning was probably 1100 to 1200 persons. What was about to happen had never happened in one of his services, and to our knowledge, has not happened since, that is, stopping a service in the middle of the sermon to do personal ministry. Another point, obviously the Pastor had seen the difficulty that the man was having walking, for he was one of the head ushers, and had to stop because of his infirmity, however, the Pastor had never been told the nature of the problem. The hurting man was determined to 'walk by faith' in the matter.
Now, to continue,,,After staring at the man for a moment, the Pastor stepped down the six or so steps of the platform and called the man by name, saying, come down here. The man, seated in an end seat of the middle aisle, stood and made his way to the front of the church.
When he reached the Pastor, this is what happened. The Pastor said "Turn and face the congregation" and the man obeyed. The Pastor said "Now hold your forearms out like this, with your elbows bent". As painful as it was, the man obeyed.
Then the Pastor said "I don't know what this is all about, but you will. All I know is what the Lord told me to do, so that's what I'm doing. You keep your arms like they are, and I'm going to step up the aisle a ways and run back here, leaping into your arms. You are going to catch me."
Immediately fear leaped in the mans mind, for he knew that even a healthy man could not with his forearms catch a 160# flying body at running speeds. Add to that, his arms were screaming in pain because of the position of the bends of his elbows, and you have a man who is almost horrified. He remembers thinking, Lord, this better be you, or Pastor and I both are in a mess and someone will be hurt.
The Pastor did exactly as he said. He ran , he leaped up in the air, and he landed flat on the outstretched arms of the man. Guess what happened!
The instant the Pastor touched the man,,,,,ALL THE PAIN LEFT HIM,,,,ALL OF IT,,,,and he caught the Pastor without dropping him. Glory to God forever more!!! But that's not all. The Pastor said, "Now run to the back of the church carrying me and then back to the front". The man did just that,,,,NO PAIN AND SUPERNATURAL ABILITY!
When they returned to the front, the man was so astonished, he just stood there holding the Pastor in his arms. The Pastor said "Well, PUT ME DOWN!" When on his feet, Pastor brushed his hands, said, "well, that's taken care of", and stepped back on the platform, continuing his sermon as if he had never stopped.
The man returned to his seat, elated, glorifying God, and overwhelmed with amazement. Later in the service the man needed to go to the mens room, which he did,,,,no pain walking, no pain opening the doors, with one exception. Returning to the service, when he reached out with his left hand to open the sanctuary door, he felt a slight pain in his left shoulder,,,,the exact same kind of pain that he felt in the beginning of this experience.
Recognizing that this was a spirit of infirmity, he said "Oh no, no you don't, devil. You have been exposed, you are a liar, and I reject and rebuke you NOW! GO! IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, GO NOW!! I AM HEALED!"
He then reached for the door,,,,NO PAIN,,,opened it, and returned to his seat. He is healed today, 20 plus years later, and that by the grace of God. He expected his healing, but he never dreamed God would move in such a spectacular way in the witness of over a thousand people,,,but He did, and it was a most amazing experience.
Was this some favoritism of God? Absolutely not. A man, determined to believe God's promise, continued to sow seeds of healing by speaking God's promise, and God confirmed his WORD, with signs following by the manifestation of several of the gifts of the Spirit at one time in one man who dared to do the impossible, while another dared to claim and receive the same. Healing and deliverance stopped a disease that medical science declares to be chronic, progressive and incurable. If He(the Word) healed and delivered this one, He(the word) will do it for you:)
If we can make it our lifestyle to claim the promises God has made, and hold fast to our profession of faith in these promises, never speaking contrary to them, but in agreement with them, we will see marvelous manifestations of Gods grace that some thought to be gone. This is good news,,,,IT'S NOT GONE! PRAISE THE LORD, and AMEN:)
Look up, your redeemer liveth:::)))

THE GOODNESS OF GOD
Luke 12:5 "But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him."
LUKE 12:4-5
Second Timothy 1:7 says, "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." First John 4:18 says, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." These scriptures may look like they are contradictions to Jesus' statement here; however, they are not.
There are two kinds of fear. The American Heritage Dictionary defines fear as "a feeling of alarm or disquiet caused by the expectation of danger, pain, disaster, or the like; terror; dread; apprehension." It also defines fear as "extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power."
It is this reverence or awe that God's Word teaches saints to have towards God. Hebrews 12:28 says that there is a godly fear with which we are supposed to serve God and thereby implies that there is an ungodly fear that is not acceptable in serving God.
Satan has always used this ungodly dread or terror to torment godly people. Those who have been born again should have no dread or terror of God unless they are planning to renounce their faith in Jesus as their Savior. We have a covenant that guarantees us acceptance with God (Eph. 1:6), as long as we hold fast to our profession of faith in the atoning blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
For an unbeliever, the fear of the Lord is a great deterrent from sin. However, for those of us who have received the grace of God, it is His goodness that causes us to fear him and depart from sin. His goodness is awesome!
A thought to sleep on:
The truths of the Gospel, and the power of God that these truths release, can only be imparted through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Human wisdom, regardless of how eloquent it is, cannot convey the life of God. Much of the preaching of the Gospel today is done in man's wisdom. It's impressive to the carnal mind, but it leaves the spirit starving for the touch of God. The greatest need among ministers today is not to have more of the world's education, but to receive the revelation knowledge of the Holy Spirit. Only words spoken by the Spirit of God can reach the spirit of man. Spiritual thoughts have to be spoken with spiritual words (1 Cor. 2:13).

Ps 112 defining "BLESSED is the man":
Psa 112:1 ¶ Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Psa 112:2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Psa 112:3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Psa 112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
Psa 112:5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Psa 112:6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
Psa 112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
Psa 112:8 His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his enemies.
Psa 112:9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
Psa 112:10 The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
This is a rich man. Verse 2: His family is also BLESSED and strong in the commandments. This means they love and care for one another. Verse 3: He has a house. It must be a nice house, because it's filled with wealth and riches. Living in a house filled with wealth and riches, and his righteousness endures. His wealth came from heaven's economy,,,,THE BLESSING, God's power to get wealth,,,,not from the Babylonian system of sorrow. Verse 5:He is a giving man,,,,not stingy. THE BLESSING provides through Jesus wisdom to guide his affairs with discretion or good judgment. Verse 6: This man knows his source.
Verses 7 & 8 outline why he is so strong and immovable. Bad news from the Babylonian system just bounces off his armor. He's in the secret place. He's resting on the Word of his faith.
7) He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
8) His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
Verse 9" Giving activates THE BLESSING which causes receiving. Abraham's faith activates Abraham's BLESSING. That's why Jesus said it's more BLESSED to give than to receive. You're not BLESSED because you're rich. You're rich because you're BLESSED. If you have activated the new-birth part of THE BLESSING by receiving Jesus as your Lord and your Savior, you are by heaven's decree rich. You are THE BLESSED, so you are THE RICH. Activate it NOW.
Verse 10 is where all the devil's persecution comes against God's people being wealthy. Don't let it move you. Their desire to destroy you and your ministry is part of their sorrow, but their desire to persecute will melt away if you stay in the Love Walk, remain faithful and let THE BLESSING work. Don't ever be moved by bad news! Don't ever feel sorry for yourself. That's from the Babylonian world of darkness, it will slow or stop THE BLESSING if allowed to enter in(Mk 4:19).
Receive THE BLESSING, so that you can BE A BLESSING!:):)
Speechless`
Jesus said "I give you authority and ability over all the ability of the enemy"(including his ability to speak,,,remember the phrase "hold thy peace"?). You see, any ability Satan has is under the authority of man, because if man was given authority over the enemy's ability, then it's the authorization by man(primarily by their tongue) that empowers Satan. Remember, power over ALL the power of the enemy. Not just some of it, but ALL of it:)
Just a little nugget to let you KNOW more of just who you REALLY are in Christ. When you finds out,,,,,devil look out!!!!!
Scripture says that when you submit yourself to God(in this case, submit yourself to the point that you are willing to believe what He said about the power you have been given), then resist the devil and he will FLEE from YOU,, not from God, but from YOU,,,,,,,,YES!!!! THE DEVIL WILL FLEE FROM YOU,,,,,,,,,,
HALLELUJAH!!!!
Have a great Sunday, folks:)

SAVED BY GRACE
Luke 10:28-29 - "And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?"
LUKE 10:28
Just as with this lawyer, pride causes many people to resist the truth of justification by faith in the grace of God. This lawyer loved himself and the public recognition his "holy acts" gave him. He was not willing to love God first and his fellow man ahead of himself. His was not a sincere question but rather an evasive question to shun responsibility. This man was seeking to be justified in the sight of God through his actions. He knew he had not loved everyone as he loved himself, so he is tried to interpret the scripture (Lev. 19:18) in a way that would conform to his actions. He wanted to define "neighbor" as just his close friends whom he had treated well.
Self-justification always produces excuses, while repentance and faith toward God produces obedience.
The basis of our salvation is grace - that is, God's undeserved, unmerited favor toward us as expressed in providing redemption through Christ Jesus.
The means of God saving us is through faith. Through faith we accept God's free gift of salvation, which was provided by grace. So we are saved "by grace ... through faith. "Notice that we are not saved by grace alone. We are saved by grace through faith. Faith grants us admission to God's grace. Without faith, God's grace is wasted and without grace. Faith is powerless. Faith in God's grace has to be released to receive what God has provided through Christ.
Just as sodium and chloride are poisonous by themselves, so grace or faith used independently of each other are deadly. But when you mix sodium and chloride together in the proper way, you get salt, which you must have to live. Likewise, putting faith in what God has already provided by grace is the key to victorious Christian living.
GCOG looking interesting,,,,,imho:)

FREEDOM FROM TEMPTATION
Luke 10:19 - "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
LUKE 10:19
Although these are examples of God's protection from harm caused by the physical creation, this scripture is also speaking of mastery over the spiritual realm of the enemy (i.e., Satan). This Scripture does not say that Satan cannot inflict any harm. The scriptures abound with examples, and warnings of the enemy's damage on the godly and the ungodly alike (2 Cor. 2:11, 2 Tim. 2:26, 1 Pet. 5:8-9). However, he cannot harm us when we are walking in faith in Christ's redemptive work.
There are no unique temptations. The devil likes to make us think there are. If he can convince us that no one understands, no one has ever had this problem before, then he can isolate us and take away our hope. But any temptation we face is just some variation of the same old thing. It may come in a different sized box, be wrapped in a different paper, and have a different bow, but the contents are the same. Understanding this diffuses much of the power of temptation.
Even though temptation is universal to mankind, we are not left on our own. God is faithful. Jesus was tempted in all points like as we are, and yet He overcame every time (Heb. 4:15). Part of His ministry is to specifically aid us in overcoming temptation (Heb. 2:17-18). Most of us have experienced times when we thought we couldn't resist another minute. Either we were wrong, or we were on the verge of a breakthrough. The Lord promised that He would not allow us to be tempted above what we are able to bear. So, at those times when you can't stand another minute, stand two and this promise will pull you through.

POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS
Luke 10:17 - "And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name."
LUKE 10:17
It was the power in the name of Jesus plus the disciples' faith in that power that made the demons subject unto them. This can clearly be seen in Acts 19:13-17 where certain Jews called on the name of Jesus in an effort to cast demons out of a man. They used the name of Jesus, but it didn't work because they had not put faith in that name.
These Jews were itinerants who used incantations to effect deliverance for people who were demon possessed. The first-century historian, Josephus, wrote of an exorcism that he witnessed in the presence of Vespasian and many of his soldiers. The exorcist supposedly followed a ritual passed down from King Solomon to effect the deliverance. There is no doubt that men throughout all history have tried to resist demonic spirits, but as this example proves, only Jesus and those who have received His life are successful.
Those who relegate demonic spirits to the realm of superstition do not believe in the entire Word of God. The Gospels alone contain over 90 references to the devil or devils (demons). The Apostle Paul said when writing to these people in Ephesus, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Eph. 6:12). The devil and demons do exist, but all believers in Jesus share in His total victory over them.
The name of Jesus is not magic. It does not work like a charm. As Peter said, "His name, through faith in his name" (Acts 3:16) is what brings results.
