Pastor Mike- Prayer Request

Mike Sanderson sent a message to the members of Real Men for Jesus!Subject:

Prayer needed."Brothers...I ask for prayer for a man in our group who is having a difficult time with his family because of his relationship with the Lord. In a world where so many men are walking away from Christ, he is walking towards Him.

Unfortunately, his wife and kids are not in agreement, and it's causing stress in his marriage. Please lift him up."

The Worst Sin that we can Commit?

What is the worst sin we can commit?

And when he comes, he will convince the world of its sin, and of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment.
John 16:8 NLT

The worst sin
What would you consider the worst sin you could commit? Adultery? Stealing? Murder? You might be surprised by the answer the Bible gives. The worst sin—and the one with the most far-reaching consequences—is this: to refuse to believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus taught that the Holy Spirit convicts guilty men and women of sin "because they do not believe in Me." (John 16:9) On that final day, it will not so much be the sin question as it will be the Son question.

All sins can be dealt with and forgiven if we believe in Jesus. We must not forget that knowledge brings responsibility. It is a grave thing to shake off the conviction of the Spirit. Jesus said the Spirit came to convict us "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged" (John 16:11). The ruler or prince of this world, Satan, was judged at Calvary. When Jesus went to the cross and died in our place, Satan lost his death grip on humanity. The spirit convicts us of sin, righteousness, and judgment, but He wants most of all to give us assurance of forgiven sin. Why not let Him do what He really desires to do? Why not come to Jesus? Or if you have already done that, help someone else to follow your example.

Think you're an exception?

For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious ideal.
Romans 3:23 NLTRemember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
James 4:17 NLT

Details, please?

(1.) Remember what St. John says: "If our heart condemn us, God is stronger than our heart." The feeling of being, or not being, forgiven and loved is not what matters. One must come down to brass tacks. If there is a particular sin on your conscience, repent and confess it. If there isn't, tell the despondent devil not to be silly. You can't help hearing his voice (the odious inner radio), but you must treat it merely like a buzzing in your ears or any other irrational nuisance. (2.)

Remember the story in the Imitation, how the Christ on the crucifix suddenly spoke to the monk who was so anxious about his salvation and said, "If you knew that all was well, what would you, today, do or stop doing?" When you have found the answer, do it or stop doing it. You see, one must always get back to the practical and definite. What the devil loves is that vague cloud of unspecified guilt feeling or unspecified virtue by which he lures us into despair or presumption. "Details, please?" is the answer. (3.) The sense of dereliction cannot be a bad symptom, for Our Lord Himself experienced it in its depth—"Why has thou forsaken me?"

C. S. Lewis in Letters to an American Lady

Subject:

Men of generosityProverbs 11:25 –

A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.As we serve the Lord we learn that at times the most logical thing we could do seems illogical to our human minds. When we do what seems to be the opposite of the norm, we get the best results. Being generous is one such example. The man who takes from his wealth to give to the poor will find his wealth increased and not diminished. The hand that we use to help others becomes the hand that opens the heart of God toward us. Christ said, “Give and you will be given.”--------------------

Prayer Request

The following was forwarded to me by my friend Jean. I met her in a Spanish class a few years ago. Great friend. Her daughter is friends with the two people in the request below. Pregnant with twins and in danger of losing one or all.

Thanks, Jeanne
URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

At our Tuesday July 28th ultrasound we found out that our little girl is not growing well. She grew a minimum and is still only 1 lb 11 ounces. The Dr. is mostly worried that she isn't growing any around her abdomen. She is breathing and moving well. Her heartbeat is good...but she doesn't seem to be eating well.

So we go in on Friday for another ultrasound to see if she is OK.
Then next Friday the 7th we have another ultrasound to check for growth. If she has not grown more, then they want to do an emergency c-section which of course means that the boys also will come out with her. This will be the end of the 30th week. Earlier then we wanted. Please PRAY that Sierra Rose gains weight - especially gains around the abdomen.
The boys are doing great – Jonathan is 3 lbs 4 ounces and Michael is 2 lbs 15 ounces – both are still above average growth even if they were singletons.

Thanks for standing with us!
David and Rosa

Which Way do I Go?

How do I know which way to go?

Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord; point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.

Psalm 25:4-5 NLTPay attention and grow wise, for I am giving you good guidance. Don't turn away from my teaching.

Proverbs 4:1-2 NLTI will teach you wisdom's ways and lead you in straight paths. If you live a life guided by wisdom, you won't limp or stumble as you run.

Proverbs 4:11-12 NLT

Facing options
Sometimes we're faced with several options, and we don't know which way to go. In Psalm 25, David asked God for guidance. Perhaps he remembered when, as a shepherd boy, he had to show the right path to his sheep who were wandering away. Just as he knew which path would lead to safety for his sheep, God knew the path that would lead to everlasting life. Just as those sheep that looked to him for direction were in the least danger, so David knew he needed to look to God for direction. Today, God still leads us by his truth—his written Word and his Spirit, which helps us to understand it. Are you not sure which path to take? Pray as David did and read what God has already said in his written Word. He will show the right road to follow.

Where do we find God's Presence?

Where do we find God's Presence?

Open for me the gates where the righteous enter; and I will go in and thank the Lord. Those gates lead to the presence of the Lord, and the godly enter there. I thank you for answering my prayer and saving me!

Psalm 118:19-21 NLTThe Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him sincerely.
Psalm 145:18 NLTBecause of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come fearlessly into God's presence, assured of his glad welcome.

Ephesians 3:12 NLT
Prayer brings us to His presence

[Psalm 118] pictures a victorious yet battle-weary king at the helm of a throng of grateful people entering the gates of the temple to thank God for saving them. During those times, the temple represented God's presence—the place where followers would go to pray to the Lord. Today, we enter into God's presence in a car, at work, or in the aisles of a grocery store—wherever we take time to pray to him. We can be sure God hears our prayers and answers each one wherever and whenever they are uttered. And by doing so, he gives us even more reasons to pray. Just like the victorious king in this psalm, we should enter God's presence by thanking him for answering prayers. What answers to prayer are you thankful for today?

This Week's Promise

This week's promise: Our prayers bring us into God's presence

How can I make my prayers effective?

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God's mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 NLT
Praying effectively

Paul urges Timothy to lift up requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving. A request is a need, a deep desire for something we don't have—something only God can supply. A prayer is a word of praise and adoration. A more accurate translation of this word from the original Greek might be to "worship in earnest." Intercession is praying on behalf of others. Our prayers should regularly reflect this kind of selfless lifestyle.

Thanksgiving involved remembering those past prayers that have already been answered, acknowledging that we not only trust God's supremacy and involvement in our life but also how his hand has moved and guided us in the past. When we pray effectively, we do more than communicate with God—we commune with him. We become one in mind and spirit and purpose. Today, let the focus of your prayer time be to connect with God in a very real and personal way, not as a slave would petition his master, but as a son would enjoy the company of a loving and gracious father.

This week's promise: Our prayers bring us into God's presence
What should be our attitude in prayer?
Then Eli realized it was the Lord who was calling the boy. So he said to Samuel, "Go and lie down again, and if someone calls again, say, 'Yes, Lord, your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went back to bed. And the Lord came and called as before, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel replied, "Yes, your servant is listening."

1 Samuel 3:8-10 NLTSpeak, Lord, in the stillness, while I wait on Thee; hushed my heart to listen in expectancy. Speak, O blessed Master, in this quiet hour, let me see Thy face, Lord, feel Thy touch of power.
Emily May Grimes

God revealed
God revealed himself mightily to the prophet Elijah, sending fire to burn the sacrifice on Mount Carmel. But later, as Elijah moped on the mountain, the Lord taught him an important lesson. There was a wind, an earthquake, and a fire—but the Lord was not in any of these. Then came a still, small voice. That was how God chose to speak to His prophet. The same is true today. We long for fire from heaven to silence the skeptics once and for all, but God doesn't usually work that way. Long ago He revealed Himself as a helpless baby sleeping in a dirty feed trough, and today He speaks quietly to ordinary people like you and me—if only we are still enough to listen. That is the sentiment expressed by Emily May Grimes in the words of the hymn, "Speak, Lord, in the Stillness."

God' plan

What appears bad may be God's plan for good
"I am Joseph!" he said to his brothers. "Is my father still alive?" But his brothers were speechless! They were stunned to realize that Joseph was standing there in front of them. "Come over here," he said. So they came closer. And he said again, "I am Joseph, your brother whom you sold into Egypt. But don't be angry with yourselves that you did this to me, for God did it. He sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives. These two years of famine will grow to seven, during which there will be neither plowing nor harvest. God has sent me here to keep you and your families alive so that you will become a great nation. Yes, it was God who sent me here, not you! And he has made me a counselor to Pharaoh—manager of his entire household and ruler over all Egypt."
Genesis 45:3-8 NLT

About this week's promise
Homespun wisdom says, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Although you won't find it put just that way in the Bible, you will find many stories of both effective and poor planning. The Bible teaches that God is a God of both purpose and planning. His purpose is to draw all humanity to himself in order to forgive and redeem. His plan—from Creation, to the Law, to the Prophets, to Jesus and the church—is what we are seeing when we read and study the Bible. Planning is part of all of our lives. The only question is if, in all our planning, we ever consult his perfect and eternal plan.

Prayer Request-Please help us?

Prayer Request

This is the first time and I hope not the last time that I will ask that you will join me in a prayer request. I do not normal ask this of anyone to say a prayer for someone else other than when I ask you to say a prayer for me. I know in my heart that you have said prayers in my favor just because of the good luck I have had. Thanks to you all I have been able to keep my high spirits and faith held strongly in place. See I know in my heart of hearts that prayer works, you know in yours it does also.
This brings me to the prayer Request. I have a friend I meet while I was managing the Salvation Army store here in Las Vegas. His name is Mike W.

This young man, age 34 was working there in one of the many drug programs that the Salvation Army offers to the community free of charge but that requires you to work there with them for 6 months. You get free food and board as well as Dr. care but you have to work at the Army stores or warehouse and live in their dormitories. You are under constant supervision but also on the honor system. Mike has a drinking problem and cocaine problem also.

Mike is a very educated individual and also a Christian in training. When I meet Mike I knew that I was meeting a very warm and funny person and a very hard worker as well as always so up-beat. Mike was so positive all the time and I had no doubts that he would make it through the whole program. He did make it all the way through and was offered a full time job working there as well as low cost housing and health care. But several days after he had finished the program, Mike had a relapse and started drinking and doing cocaine again. The sad thing is that he has done this three times, and has failed three times.

He called me last night and told me all that had happened and that he finally realized that he really did not want to stop drinking and doing drugs, he just liked them to much and he just did not want to stop. Wow, what a realization indeed to have come up with, a very honest self-realization to be sure.



Mike is a good man, a smart man, a Christian even though he is doing drugs he is still one of God’s children. The bible tells us how many times that we sometimes must forgive if the person is truly sorry for what they are doing to themselves or others. Seven X seven times is what the Bible tells us.

I know that you are all very busy and with families and worries all your own. But as Children of God I am asking that after you read this decide if you want to say a prayer for Mike W. and ask Father God to shack up Mike’s heart and soul and make him realize that time is growing short. Mike is killing himself and his death will be such a waste. He has so much to give and I am a better person for having been able to share some time with him.
Please ask God to intervene. We do not want to lose people like Mike in this world. Remember right now he is lost. And haven’t we all been there.

I love you guy’s and I am so proud to be in your lives, please help me save a friend in need, I love you all, Carl

The Miscellaneous Ramblings of a Pastor Who Has Been There and Done That
You are viewing: "http://pastormikesays.com/?p=1279"
The prodigal son, are you the one?

by on July 24, 2009
You should behave instead like God’s very own children, adopted into his family (Romans 8:15, NLT).
The story is told of a man who had begged on the streets for a living.
One day he touched a man on the shoulder and said, “Hey, mister, can you give me a dime?” (That was many years ago when a dime was worth a lot more than it is now.)
As soon as he saw the face of the man he had asked, he was shocked to discover that it was his own father!

He cried out, “Father, father, do you know me?”

The father looked at him, then suddenly threw his arms around him and with tears in his eyes, said, “Oh, my son, at last I’ve found you! I’ve found you! You want a dime? Everything I have is yours.”

The beggar said, “Think of it. I was a tramp. I stood begging my own father for ten cents, when for 18 years he had been looking for me to give me all he had.”
What a wonderful illustration of the way God longs to treat us, if we’ll let Him. The story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 is also an example of how the Father feels toward us. “His father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger, and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening in the pen. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found” (vs. 22-24, NLT).

How many people are going through life as spiritual beggars, unaware of their heavenly Father and His desire to bless them with all His riches?
Jesus said these amazing words: “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:32, NLT).

It makes God happy to give us the kingdom! How deep is that? It reminds me of Romans 8:15-17: “So you should not be like cowering, fearful slaves. You should behave instead like God’s very own children, adopted into his family — calling him ‘Father, dear Father.’ For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we are God’s children. And since we are his children, we will share his treasures — for everything God gives to his Son, Christ, is ours, too. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering” (NLT).
People do not have to be spiritual beggars, for if they believe, “everything God gives to his Son, Christ, is ours, too.”

But let us not overlook that last sentence: “But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.” That does not mean self-imposed suffering, or that we should seek suffering, but it means whatever may come our way as we live in a sinful world as a witness for Christ.
Go and tell the world of you adoption into the family of jesus.

2 Timothy 3:2 – People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy.Right in the middle of all the other ugly weaknesses of man God puts, “Lovers of money!” It is the misuse of money that becomes an issue. God wants to bless you, but He will never bless you with something that is going to curse you. If, as men of God, we get the right perspective of the things He puts into our hands, then He will trust us with more of His blessings.

After 60 years in one church Jimmy Carter says no

After more than 60 years together, Jimmy Carter has announced himself at odds with the Southern Baptist Church -- and he's decided it's time they go their separate ways.

Via "http://www.feministing.com/archives/016792.html", the former president called the decision "unavoidable" after church leaders prohibited women from being ordained and insisted women be "subservient to their husbands." Said Carter in an essay in http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/losing-my-religion-for-equality-20090714-dk0v.html?page=-1:

At its most repugnant, the belief that women must be subjugated to the wishes of men excuses slavery, violence, forced prostitution, genital mutilation and national laws that omit rape as a crime. But it also costs many millions of girls and women control over their own bodies and lives, and continues to deny them fair access to education, health, employment and influence within their own communities.

Follow us:"http://twitter.com/politicsdaily""http://www.facebook.com/politicsdaily"
And, later:
The truth is that male religious leaders have had -- and still have -- an option to interpret holy teachings either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter. Their continuing choice provides the foundation or justification for much of the pervasive persecution and abuse of women throughout the world.

After watching everyone from philandering politicians to Iran's president taking a sudden look heavenwards when the roof starts to come down on them, it's refreshing to see Carter calling out the role of religion in the mistreatment of women. The question for Carter -- and for others who find themselves at odds with leadership -- is, when a group you're deeply involved in starts to move away from your own core beliefs, do you stay and try to change from within or, at some point, do you have to look for the exit? Carter did give the former a shot -- in recent years publicly criticizing and distancing himself from church leadership, while staying involved with his church. Now, he's seeing if absence might do what presence did not.

This week's promise

This week's promise: God will wipe away sorrow forever

Is God concerned about our pain?

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous face many troubles, but the Lord rescues them from each and every one.
Psalm 34:18-19 NLT

He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care.
Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God for his own sins! But he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we were healed! All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the guilt and sins of us all.
Isaiah 53:3-6 NLT

Crying ones

Through the pain and sorrow of Christ's experiences on earth, God has experienced the depths of human grief.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You that are called born of God, and Christians, if you be not criers, there is no spiritual life in you; if you be born of God, you are crying ones; as soon as He raised you out of the dark dungeon of sin, you cannot but cry to God.
John Bunyan

Three Days of Darkness

Three Days Of Darkness-number 2 better copy

I want you all to read this letter and read it very clearly. You must make a decision to believe or not to believe. Now I personally believe that this will happen someday and perhaps very soon. My Mother originally told me about this prophecy over 30 years ago. and for some reason it has come back to me. For this reason I have chosen to find the beeswax candles they talk about as well as Holy Water. The candles I am finding are hard to come by but i will find them. I do this as an act of faith in God. and the respect and Honor i have for Jesus Mother Mary. I compare the love I have for my departed Mother as intense and deep and Mom was a true blessing from God to me. And then to understand the deepness of love Jesus had to die on the cross for me, us, how much deeper was the love of His Mother Mary. It could never be measured in mere human terms.

So please, go to this web site and read these words and decide for your self, you know that time is short and you know this to be the truth. God Bless You my friends, love Carl

It has been A While

Sorry

It has been a long while since i have done any thing new to add to my Blog. the truth is that I have been very sick and in a tremendous amount of pain. my legs and feet are on fire and i am confined to staying inside of my home. When i do go out it is for short trips to Walmart and pretty much that is all. The pain is growing worst and I just am stuck being without medical help, no insurance, un-insurable as they say. it will be a while till i write again,

God Bless You, Love Carl

This is the desert, Las Vegas, Nevada

My Little House in the Desert

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
J oy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky We'll run the race with gratitude
X alting God most high
Y es, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!"

The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.
Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.

PS: GOD LOVES YOU...Pass this word on to more friends and ask them to continue telling others that GOD love them too. Just think of how many people that could be reached out to and blessed with these words.

No One knows

No one, but the One
Knows the time and of That Day


We had been told
And this righteously so
For here in black and white had been written
Yet but several millennia or so ago

For it has been my understanding
That this very Christ Jesus did not even know
For that time and place was for one only to know
This is God The Father; He was only to have known

So my children please be weary
Of those who claim that they know
The time and place for the time
Of our Christ Jesus to finally come home.

For you will hear rumors
For many will boldly proclaim
That they have received a special foreknowledge
To me they are to be considered deranged

So when you hear stories
of the coming time and the place
Please open up your bible
The Holy Spirit will show you the place

For no one knows
And you can trust this most trustable of sites
For it has been written in your Bible, This Book of all life
For our Father God only knows, can you deny that He is right?

A Matter of Interpretation?
It had been discussed at quite length
Scholars thought that there interpretation
Was the correct one of course?

Correct maybe if The Holy Spirit was not in you
Could these men of many learning's
Could they themselves be led astray?
Wasn’t there something about running too and fro

Something about so much knowledge that it was meaningless this day
After all, is it not the center of most discussions?
Is it not what all the so-called Scholars say?
After all they all have their diplomas

There diplomas that say they know what they say
Look they are all saying the same thing
It is temporary at the best
Yet I have herd it said that they were preparing

By digging holes in the ground for them to soon stay, a place of safety a place of rest?
They had a scientific quorum
For all the best of the best did show that day
For it was the time to make discussions

For they had calculated the coming last day
All the ancient books had been open
Cather in columns all segue
Notebooks of written words upon papers

Formulas discussed then reissued then all confused
Nothing made any sense anymore
Basic truths up heaved and defused
It had become like Babble once again

This time science, technology, we had abused
There was nothing left for us to fight for
No greener to take in, any flowers left, only gloom
We a people had lost our way, somehow we had been betrayed

All hope to us was lost; we were but only the fools, left so confused, left so crushed
What in Gods very name were we thinking?
What kind of delusions had we all been under
Why did all of this so-called Mankind become so fooled?

What in the very depths of our evil hearts had we sunk too
We are but fools
We have been given paradise
And we gave it all away but for the thought of becoming like very gods

What in the very name of creation had we done, I had cried out in disbelieve
Our science had failed us
Technology lay in ruins, staked up in piles of twisted plastics and metals
Grotesque metal sculptures remain

They warn us of yet another evil to come
We are now being taunted by voices unseen
And the very air around us has grown thick with mistrust
For we, mankind know the end is coming very near

Can you feel the hairs on the back of your neck?
The Seals have been open, do we dear to assume which?

Basic truths up heaved and defused
It had become like Babble once again
This time science, technology, we had abused
There was nothing left for us to fight for

No greener to take in, any flowers left, only gloom
We a people had lost our way, somehow we had been betrayed
All hope to us was lost; we were but only the fools, left so confused, left so crushed
What in Gods very name were we thinking?

What kind of delusions had we all been under
Why did all of this so-called Mankind become so fooled?
What in the very depths of our evil hearts had we sunk too
We are but fools

We have been given paradise
And we gave it all away but for the thought of becoming like very gods
What in the very name of creation had we done, I had cried out in disbelieve
Our science had failed us

Technology lay in ruins, staked up in piles of twisted plastics and metals
Grotesque metal sculptures remain
They warn us of yet another evil to come
We are now being taunted by voices unseen

And the very air around us has grown thick with mistrust
For we, mankind know the end is coming very near
Can you feel the hairs on the back of your neck?
The Seals have been open, do we dear to assume which?

Prayer Request

Please submit your prayer requests so that we can all form a prayer circle and ask our Father God for His help in your or your family's life. Together we can be many voice's turned to one voice. We can ask of The father His help as His children that we are or will soon become through our prayers to Him. I ask you to send in your prayers so that together we can ask The Lord for His help and guidance. God bless You All, Love, Carl

Wormwood Part 1 & 2

Worm Wood-Part One
There had been strange rumblings
This for quite a long while
Those in power new that something was coming

When asked were from, they all pointed, fingers pointing straight up into the ski
Now there had always been talk
That perhaps some day a near miss
And one for sure they knew off, some say perhaps more

Well they say they new one wiped out all those dinosaurs
But this is just talk, science fiction at best
Doomsday scenarios with all the best technical effects
Yet was this not read, in the Book of Life?

A star would fall from the heavens, destroying on third of all its inhabitants, one third of all human life
Destroying one third of all the fresh waters
Destroying one third of all plant and animal life

This planet Earth as we knew it
All this once created would lose its cohesion in just one plight
We had all been warned

For it had been written in the ancient texts
That Mother Earth would be smitten
By this evil from the black heavens on an unknown night

For the name was even given
Words of horror and grief
So much of this so called human kind
In but one day would now be deceased





Worm Wood Part Two

This Planet is dying

For this Earth so rumbled
Mighty winds blown across these lands
Very mountains crumble down to mere pebbles in minutes
This great earth shakes so very hard, but for that of but another moment it will end

For this had never happened
For at least since any records had been kept
Even the very islands
Slipped into the waters, these shaken waters did not relent

For every raised surface had been shaken
As never before had there ever been such an event
Not one high place would be standing
For not any low or high places would there be left

An entire civilization
All that would have been called the very best of man
All shaken to their very foundations
All once built upon rock has turned into sand

Have we been caught unguarded?
Were we not aware of such an event?
Was it not written in the very Book of the Heavens?
Were not the words, the Truth God sent

The only word that I may leave you
Please make sure you always say your prayers
For there is one that hides in the shadows
Whose day has yet to be known, for he has been watching for years

The Seal has been Broken

The Seal has been Broken-Chapters One

This parchment
Deeply yellowed with great age and weight
Written from ancient times so very long ago
Edges worn and cracked from great ages past

The parchment lay open upon the dried earth
Seal of wax broken in two crimson pieces
Words written in that of an ancient unknown language

Had these words been spoken
Had there been herd a great sigh
When these written words had been uttered

Sealed so long from the ears of mankind
When first read out loud, did the reader cry out
Wow to this human kind

There will begin great turmoil now to be known
For what was once, will now cease to be
For even with all of mans great knowledge, he will fail

When the seal had been broken
The very words of prophecy now have become very fact
The change at first appeared to be subtle

In the end, the very end it has become very fact
We as humans
We could not see that the change had begun
The very foundations of mankind would now be shaken

Man will have been brought to the very ground
We had drifted to much away from were we had come from
We walked away from our Father God
This we gave up in the name of
Civilization


How eager we were to leave
Our Father God we had so loved
Walked away from This Written Word
So very many of us new as His love

As foolish children
We thought we knew it all
How deep, how sad, we humans, how hard we had to fall
Fall away from the Truth that was our very Father’s All

Chapter-Two
The Seal has been Broken, How many more to Come

This creation called mankind
How hard do they fight to exist?
Do they not yet realize?
That what little time they will have to make this a finale peace

Seven Seals that must be broken
Each carries an arrow and a tear
A young mother for here unborn children cries
While a red-hot arrow tip splits the skin

We had all been warned
For there is not one excuse
We can not rest on what was once done yesterday
For in the now is all we can do

Say your prayers, my dear children
For all that is said, will all this come to truth
For the ski will have fallen, it’s name is Wormwood
Say your prayers my dear children

For it has been written
For you all know this to be true
For it has been written in The book of Life
Please look for yourself, it is fact and it is truth

Masada

This generations Last Stand-Chapter One

For we are at One, One Nation once more
For this time, will be our last time
We as a People, a Nation of Souls will fight
No more will we be dispersed among the nations any more

We once The People of a Great Nation
Dispersed among all the nations
For a call has come out from Israel
Our Mother has called all of Her Children to come Home

Israel, O’ Israel
Calling all your Children once more to come Home
This will be Our Greatest Glory
We will rebuild The Third Temple, never to be destroyed any more

For we are an Ancient Peoples
For we have preserved The Written Word and Traditions of our God
For we are a Chosen people
First but not the least of His children of our Father God

For Us, this very Generation
Yes, we can feel it deep, rising in the blood
For it is this Generation, O’ Israel
For it is we that Speak, Never again, Never again will we back down











Masada Chapter Two

This Our Final Stand

For these fifty plus years we have labored
Reclaimed the Deserts with our sweat and our blood
Out of these barren rocks we built our cities
These foundations we know they will not ever rot

We have welcomed back our Peoples
Searched this earth from high and low
We have found what treasure had been taken from us
We will not let our past ever be taken or forgotten, or let go

This time, this time
We as a Nation of Jews, Say No!
For this will never do for never more we proclaim
It is death till this the end, we have pledged in our hearts to make

In finale proclamation
We the nation of The Jew
We shall fight till the end of everything
Or we shall die in making this true.

Prayer

Through prayer I have found my peace, I have found my safety and a place of eternal refuge from this earthly storm. I mean this life can be so very hard at times, and through prayer we can ask for our Fathers guidance, His Love, His support.

Every night before I go to bed I take a moment to make reflection of my day. I get myself all cozy and comfortable for I never know how long my prayers will take. Then I begin. Thank you father for this day you have given me. And a good day it was and I thank you. Then I go through my day and I talk to Him about what I had done or what I might have said, and often tell Him how sorry I was when I goofed up. You have to remember to always tell God the truth, do not candy coat it. And always remember to talk to God with the respect that He deserves. Never call God dad or the big guy up there, call Him father God with all the respect and Love He deserves, and He deserves all that we can give. God is the father and He is truth, the perfection of truth.

You always come before God on bended knee even when lying down in your bed at night. I always ask The Father to thank Christ Jesus for His life that He gave for me as well as all mankind, all that we had to do was to ask for forgiveness and except Jesus as His one and only Son. Tell God that you be leave with all your heart that this is the truth and you dedicate all your heart and soul to them both.


I then ask The Father to help the Holy Spirit in me to grow wise and strong. To help make me into a better Christian to serve The Father & Son to the best that I am able. I tell The father I want Him to be proud of me. I want Him to say when my time comes, yes I know you Carl, and I remember your prayers well. That is what I wish to hear The Father say. I will then ask The Father to please forgive me for what I may have forgot to have confessed.
Then before closing I ask Him to forgive us humans for turning away from Him, and what a great mistake that had been.




In closing I ask the father to bless my friends and my family and I always call out each one of their names. I ask the Father to please tell my Mother how much I love her and that I miss her so much that my heart is still broken, and in pain. I ask Him to watch over her, as I know He watches over Mary, the Mother of Jesus and I remind Him that I know how much He must love her. Then finally I once again tell Him thank You for this day and to please bless my two dogs, Cassie & Reilly. They’re in there teenage years and are driving me crazy, and say thank you for all the love they give me and help me make it through my day.

There are some nights that I will talk with Him for a couple of hours, I just guess I have a lot to say. Then some nights I am so tired I may tell Him thank you for getting through this crazy day and God Bless you God. Amen
The important thing is please just talk to God each and every day. Make the time to tell Him how much you love Him. How much love you have in your heart for Him. For me I like to pray at bedtime when I can have that private time for father and child talk. I am relaxed and the day is done. Other times during the day I will often take a moment out to say thank you father, job well done. You are truly the Creator, look at all you have done.
Prayer, Talking to The father, talking to the Son. Do it now, do it every day for the rest of your life. God Bless you my children, Love Carl

Canoe
Friday 04.23.04 [11:01 pm]

A Lonely CanoeA small lonely sad canoeWas swimming down the Blue BayouLooking for a place to berthAll alone on this great big earthHe has traveled many miles aloneLooking for a brand new homeThe journey seemed never-endingIf there was only a place to clingWhere he came from was not niceHe was treated like a block of iceHe was small and they were largeOne of them even a bargeThe many boats were not his friendsHis only sight, their big back endsHe stayed alone, not in their thoughtsSmall and tiny, to them a mere dotOff he went to seek some spaceLooking for a new home baseEver hopeful to meet new friendsSomeone to share with till the endThen one day he saw from afarShining brightly like a starIn the distance there it layA dozen boats in a little bayBoats his size and just as niceHe moved in to take his sliceHe was welcomed on this dayThe little canoe had found his wayA new beginning not an endTo his story there was a bendAll his searching worth the waitThis was where he met his mateBy: Jeanne Grant 4-1-04 (copywrite)

Prayer is indeed a most powerful tool!

Prayer is a powerful tool!




]
Failure is not an option
Each and everyone one of us are going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready
to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith. My instructions were to pick
four people that I wanted
God to bless, and I picked you.
Please pass this to at least
(4) people you want to be blessed
and a copy back to me. This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts wereceive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards.
Let's continue t o pray for one another. The prayer:
Father, I ask You to bless
my friends, relatives and those that
I care deeply for, who are readingthis right now.
Show them a new revelation of your
love and power.
Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubt, release a
renewed confidence through yourgrace.
Where there is need,
I ask you to fulfill their needs.
Bless their homes, families, finances,
their goings and their comings.
Amen.(If the Lord lays upon your heart to send this to more than four people, you are truly blessed).

Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation

This prayer speaks more truth than I have heard in a long time."Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today and forever." Heb. 13:8 "But seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt. 6:33
THIS MAN SURE HAS A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY!

Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation
'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One Nation under God.'Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. (It's worth a try!) One Nation under God.

Path of LightBy: Jeanne Grant

I awoke this day to a bright new sky

The sun is not shining and I wonder why

I look around, take stock of the day

Feeling that I might lose my way

Then up ahead I see a bright lightIt's so outstanding, what a wonderful sight

The light stays ahead paving my wayIt is so awesome, takes my breath away.

Could that be my Father lighting my path?

Is that Him clearing my way with His wrath?

I know the scripture says

He's the light for my wayI know this is true as I see Him this day

I follow along with complete trust in Him

Not just wandering all alone on a whim

But trusting my Father to lead me as I go

He will not lead me into trouble this I know

In DarknessBy: Jeanne Grant

Today my world has been rather dark

Life is changing, future seems rather stark

How can I make the adjustments needed

Warnings were there but went unheeded

Sadness is touching all parts of my heart

Piercing my soul with a lightning-like dart

Peace I need, it keeps flitting away

I long for release for my cares of the day

My heart is heavy, my head in a spin

Wondering frantic which emotion will win

Too much to absorb, too much to decide

My body is tortured, a tornado inside

Lord give me the strength to endure all that I can

Don't let me stagger, help me make the right stand

Please keep me on track and into Your Word

Stay by my side, I need you my Lord

Trust and ObeyBy: Jeanne Grant

When I became a Lamb of God

The first thing that I learned

It was easier being a sinner

Than the person I had turned

It's funny how you never think

That you're living your life bad

All things seemed so normalIt is very very sad

It takes a lot of loveTo trust in God and change

But totally, it's worth your time

To be so rearranged

He is the one who made you

He is your end of times

His son He gave you gladly

As payment for your crimes

The song says very strongly

To trust Him and obey

The rewards will be well worth it

When you meet with Him one day.

God"s Gift, by Jeanne Grant

God's GiftBy: Jeanne Grant

The night was quiet,

the moon was high

The stars were bright, all wondered why

The time had come, the moment heady

A nest of straw was standing ready

All held their breaths, the babe was birthed

Our newborn Lord was on this earth

We take today to celebrate

The awesome gift we all did wait

Take the time, to remember why

The day would come, he would say goodbye

Thank you Father,

It is PaidBy: Jeanne Grant

I once was lost but now I'm saved

My sins were many but now they're waived

The love of Jesus paid for them

I would have perished if not for Him

It's nice to know

that I am loved

By my God,

the one above.

Turn It OverBy: Jeanne Grant

Turn it over to the Lord

Let Him watch my every word

Hold my tongue, don't let it out

Stop the feelings I might spout

Help me thru this trying moment

Leave me peace and no more torment

Up I want but down I feel

This can't be me, it seems not real

Jobs they come and jobs they go

Let me savor uneventful flow

Through the season let me function

With not bitterness but with conviction

Giving help, not easy to rile

Dreading not and with a big smile

Thank you Lord for being near

When my paper fills with falling tears

We are Masada

Masada

This generations Last Stand-Chapter One
For we are at One, One Nation once more

For this time, will be our last time
We as a People, a Nation of Souls will fight
No more will we be dispersed among the nations any more

We once The People of a Great Nation
Dispersed among all the nations
For a call has come out from Israel
Our Mother has called all of Her Children to come Home

Israel, O’ Israel
Calling all your Children once more to come Home
This will be Our Greatest Glory
We will rebuild The Third Temple, never to be destroyed any more

For we are an Ancient Peoples
For we have preserved The Written Word and Traditions of our God
For we are a Chosen people
First but not the least of His children of our Father God

For Us, this very Generation
Yes, we can feel it deep, rising in the blood
For it is this Generation, O’ Israel
For it is We that Speak, Never again, Never again will We back down

The Seal has been Broken-Chapter One

The Seal has been Broken-Chapters One

This parchment
Deeply yellowed with great age and weight
Written from ancient times so very long ago
Edges worn and cracked from great ages past

The parchment lay open upon the dried earth
Seal of wax broken in two crimson pieces
Words written in that of an ancient unknown language

Had these words been spoken
Had there been herd a great sigh
When these written words had been uttered

Sealed so long from the ears of mankind
When first read out loud, did the reader cry out
Wow to this human kind

There will begin great turmoil now to be known
For what was once, will now cease to be
For even with all of mans great knowledge, he will fail

When the seal had been broken
The very words of prophecy now have become very fact
The change at first appeared to be subtle
In the end, the very end it has become very fact

We as humans
We could not see that the change had begun
The very foundations of mankind would now be shaken
Man will have been brought to the very ground

We had drifted to much away from were we had come from
We walked away from our Father God
This we gave up in the name of
Civilization


How eager we were to leave
Our Father God we had so loved
Walked away from This Written Word
So very many of us new as His love

As foolish children
We thought we knew it all
How deep, how sad, we humans, how hard we had to fall
Fall away from the Truth that was our very Father’s All

Worm Wood-Part One

There had been strange rumblings
This for quite a long while
Those in power new that something was coming
When asked were from, they all pointed, fingers pointing straight up into the ski

Now there had always been talk
That perhaps some day a near miss
And one for sure they knew off, some say perhaps more
Well they say they new one wiped out all those dinosaurs

But this is just talk, science fiction at best
Doomsday scenarios with all the best technical effects
Yet was this not read, in the Book of Life?
A star would fall from the heavens, destroying on third of all its inhabitants, one third of all human live

Destroying one third of all the fresh waters
Destroying one third of all plant and animal life
This planet Earth as we knew it
All this once created would lose its cohesion in just one plight

We had all been warned
For it had been written in the ancient texts
That Mother Earth would be smitten
By this evil from the black heavens on an unknown night

For the name was even given
Words of horror and grief
So much of this so called human kind
In but one day would now be deceased
