It is time for the Church to arise!
It is time for you, the Church, to walk in righteousness and holiness.
It is time for you to walk in power and in might.
It is time for you to walk in humility, forgiveness, and most of all, love.
It is time that you depend on Me, lean on Me, and trust Me for everything.
It is time that you leave all doubt and fear behind, and let faith rise up within you.
It is time that you praise Me, bless Me, and glorify My name.
It is time that you preach My Gospel everywhere you go.
It is time that you lay hands on the sick and see them recover.
It is time that you bind up the brokenhearted and proclaim freedom for the captives.
It is time that you pray like never before.
It is time that you expect Me to do the impossible.
It is time that you see Me for all that I am and receive all that I have for you.
It is time!

From answers in Genesis
I read this at the Answers in Genesis website. This is the truth right in our faces. God, please help us turn and see it!
People have been shocked in recent times at the outbreak of violence in public schools in America and around the world. Some schools have installed metal detectors to try to curb such violent behavior.
What does evolution have to do with this sad—and shocking—situation?
What we see happening is the end result of an education system that has effectively eliminated God from the classroom. When you think about it, generations of young people are being brainwashed each day in evolutionary ideas. They are being told that they are nothing special—they are just animals that have evolved from some primitive form of life over millions of years.
The more society as a whole thinks this way, the more people will act consistently with what they’ve been taught. If life is not special, then it has no value. If there’s no God, and thus no absolute authority, then anyone can decide right and wrong for themselves.
Most of the students probably don’t realize the connection of violence with evolution (though some have)—but underneath it all, this anti-God belief system has subtly caused them to think life is hopeless and without any purpose.

Something to think about # 10
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.I would have talked less and listened more.I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.I would have sat on the lawn! With my grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, 'Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.' There would have been more 'I love you's'; more 'I'm sorry's.' But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it... live it and never give it back. STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!! Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what
Instead; let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.
Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with, and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally. I hope you have a blessed day .

In other words... DO NOT FOCUS ON THE negative, FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE!

Something to think about # 8
While shopping at a local Wal-Mart, a woman spotted a man with an
acronym on
his shirt that had B.A.D. Being the person that she was (curious), she
stopped the man and asked, 'What does B.A.D. stand for?'
And trust me; you'll be amazed at what his response was. He replied
B.A.D.
stands for:
'Blessed And Delivered '
That thought stuck with her as she finished doing her shopping that
day.
So she came up with a little advice for you today.
1. When the enemy tries to attack you, be B.A.D.
2. When things don't seem to be going right on your job, be B.A.D.
3. When things are not looking good in your marriage, be B.A.D.
4. When folks scandalize your name, just be B.A.D.
Get with somebody who you know that you can be B.A.D. with!!!
May God Bless You And Have A B.A.D. Day!
Any person that can kneel before God can stand before anything! !
This was not my own thought, but it should be all of our thoughs.

My 50 days in Psalms
I as stated before I am in the book of Psalms. That is , I am studying/reading through them.
Today is the 50th day and 50th Psalm. (I am reading one a day.) There is so much in this book of the Bible. Psalm 50 was a great read today. I read it several times- over& over . Each time God was speaking into my life about a different part of the chapter. God showed me His greatness in the Chapter, the way to apply it to my life, and multiple sermons/messages that could come from Psalm 50. I am a preacher/teahcer so my heart leans in that direction- looking for sermon/message ideas. Or just being open to them :) I have to remind myself that it is not always about getting it out to others- much needs to be applied to my life - first!
Here am I, Lord. Send me, use me, transform me! ( one of my constant prayers)

Message for Sunday 2-17-08
“Are you thirsty for God?”
*** Song - “As the deer”
As the Deer Pants For the Water, So My Soul Longs After You. You Alone Are My Heart's Desire,
And I Long to Worship You.
You Alone Are My Strength, My Shield; To You Alone May My Spirit Yield. You Alone Are My Heart's Desire, And I Long to Worship You.
1. Psalm 42: 1 & 2 a :
1 As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
This is a longing and desire for God. Just as we need water to SURVIVE - we NEED GOD even more!We need to long for and seek God more than the things of this world.
2. John 6:35 :
35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
You will NEVER - THIRST !
Jesus will supply all of your needs. This is not just physical it goes much deeper. It is the thirst,the longing, in all of our lives, that only God can take away.
3. Matthew 5:6 :
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
What happens for those who do THIRST for God above everything else?
God blesses them. He fills them with living water. Only God and God alone can do it!!
4. John 7: 37& 38 :
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
All who THIRST can come to Jesus. All who come with true belief, faith, trust, repentance and asking for forgiveness of sins.
Living Waters will be in you. This is the Holy Spirit. God living inside of you. This happens the moment you come to Him with true belief, trust repentance, asking for forgiveness of your sins , and trusting Him as Lord and Savior of your life.
5. Revelation 21:6 :
6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
This verse shows He is GOD!!! He gives a free gift to all who will respond to Him with faith and trust to His calling them.
He will end your THIRST. God is all you need. Jesus takes away your THIRST. It is replaced by the Holy Spirit- God living in you.
**All you have to do is come to Jesus with true belief, trust, repentance, asking for forgiveness of your sins , and trusting Him as Lord and Savior of your life.

A great read to start the new week!!!!!!
By Dr. S.M. Lockridge
The Bible says my King is the King of the Jews....He's the King of Israel....He's the King of Righteousness....He's the King of the Ages.....He's the King of Heaven....He's the King of Glory....He's the King of kings, and He's the Lord of lords. That's my King. Well....I wonder, do you know Him?.... My King is a sovereign King. No means of measure can define His limitless love. No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessings. He's enduringly strong....He's entirely sincere....He's eternally steadfast....He's immortally graceful....He's imperially powerful....He's impartially merciful....... Do you know Him?
He's the greatest phenomenon that ever crossed the horizon of this world. He's God's Son....He's a sinner's Saviour....He's the centerpiece of civilization....He stands in the solitude of Himself....He's unique....He's unparalleled....He's unprecedented....He's the loftiest idea in literature....He's the highest personality in philosophy....He's the fundamental doctrine of true theology....He's the miracle of the age.... He's the only one qualified to be an all sufficient Saviour...... I wonder if you know Him today?
He supplies strength for the weak....He's available for the tempted and the tried....He sympathizes and He saves....He strengthens and sustains....He guards and He guides....He heals the sick....He forgives sinners....He discharges debtors....He delivers captives....He defends the feeble....He blesses the young....He serves the unfortunate....He regards the aged....He rewards the diligent....and He beautifies the meek....... I wonder if you know Him?
Well, my King....is the King....He's the key to knowledge....He's the wellspring to wisdom....He's the doorway of deliverance....He's the pathway of peace....He's the roadway of righteousness ....He's the highway of holiness....He's the gateway of glory....... Do you know Him?
Well....His promise is sure....His light is matchless....His goodness is limitless....His mercy is everlasting....His love never changes....His word is enough....His grace is sufficient....His reign is righteous....and His yoke is easy, and his burden is light. I wish I could describe Him to you, but He's indescribable....He's incomprehensible....He's invincible....He's irresistible.
Well, you can't get Him out of your mind....You can't get Him off of your hand....You can't out live Him, and you can't live without Him....The Pharisees couldn't stand Him, but they found out they couldn't stop Him....Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him....Herod couldn't kill Him....Death couldn't handle Him, and the grave couldn't hold Him. Yea!!!, that's my King, that's my King.
**Do you know him today? Have you turned from your sins, asked for forgiveness of your sins, accepted Him as the Lord and Savior of your life? Give Him your heart and life today! **

“Search Me, O God”
Search me,O God, and know my heart today,
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray;
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.
I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;
Fulfill Thy word and make me pure within;
Fill me with fire, where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.
Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.
O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival, start the work in me;
Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead
Psalm 139:23 NKJV :
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties;

* While the song you read to start is a wonderful song to sing, it is a “dangerous” prayer to offer. We all have sins within us of which we are unaware, for the heart is deceitful above all things.

End the week with a little joke!
Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!" So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!" The next day, the second woman accidentally steps on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman. The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps. She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on ... very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word. The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?" The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"
*HAHAHAHAHA!

Deadly tornados ripped through the southern US. Pray for those in the damaged areas. Union University was terribly damaged. This is a Christian college.
Several have died in these storms. Again, PRAY!!
Through all of this remember, GOD is stil GOD and on His Throne! Though we may not understand what has happened we must trust God.
In Christ,

Another post :)
Well, it's a new month. Where did the last one go??
Anyway, GOd is still God( isn't He always :) ) and He is working around us at all times.
Foucs on Him. See where He is working,opening doors and join Him. That is what He wants.
As I continue my my walk through the book of Psalms, I am again & again amazed by God's Word. He is clearly speaking through His word into my heart and life. The Spirit is opening His word to me like never before. The more I study, get knowledge, get understand, and get wisdom from His word the more I realize how little I know His word and Him. This leads me to pray , listen and seek God. To grow in the understanding, knowledge and wisdom of Him and His word.
As I have the ,God given, chance to preach His word, and study His word I just thank Him and desire to share Him with others.
If you or I am not doing that then we have to question ourselves. It is all about Him and no one else.
To God be the glory! That my tongue would sing praise and my heart would offer thanksgiving to Him EVERYDAY!!!

Anyway, GOd is still God( isn't He always :) ) and He is working around us at all times.
Foucs on Him. See where He is working,opening doors and join Him. That is what He wants.
As I continue my my walk through the book of Psalms, I am again & again amazed by God's Word. He is clearly speaking through His word into my heart and life.
