Sunday service by our Pastor, Rev.Hyun-Suk Kim was from
1 Samuel 24:1-22
"David Spares Saul's Life"
6 He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, or lift my hands against him; for he is the anointed of the LORD."
*
Spritual decisions were made by David to obey the LORD, when he decided to spare the Saul's life.*
Like the John denied him being the Christ,
He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie." John 1:27*
1 Samuel 23:1-29
"David Saves Keilah" 4 Once again david inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him,"Go down to Keilah, for I am going to give the Philistines into your hand."
10 david said, "O LORD, God of Israel, your servant has heard definitely that Saul plans to come to Keilah and destroy the town on account of me.
11Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me to him? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? O LORD, God of Israel, tell your servant." And the LORD said, "He will."
12 Again david asked, "Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me and my men to saul?" And the LORD said, "They will."
16 And Saul's son Jonathan went to david at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.
17 "Don't be afraid," he said. "My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be King over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this."
18 The two of them made a covenant before the LORD. Then Jonathan went home, but David remained at Horesh.
*
David always consult with LORD and wait for the answer from the LORD.David had true friendship with Jonathan-blessing.
*
During winter, tree saves all the strength in it's roots to survive the cold weather till spring-We also must save all the strength in most foundational, principles of the life to survive the hard times in this world, asking the LORD's help always and keep your best friend in Jesus Christ.
*
1 Samuel 22:1-2
"David at Adullam and Mizpah"
2 All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gethered around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.
*
1 Corinthians 1:26-29 26 Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the wick things of th world to shame the strong.
28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the dispised things-and the things that are not-to nullify te things that are,
29 so that no one may boast before him.
*
5 David replied, "Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual whenever I set out. The men's things are holy even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today?"
10 That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.
11 But the servants of Achish said to him, "Isn't this David, the king of the land? Isn't he the one they sing about in their dances: "'Saul has slain their thousands, and David his tens of thousands'?"
12 David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath.
13 So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard. *
2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, "Look! your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath."
3 He answered,-
4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the cnsecrated bread-which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests.
5 Or haven't you read in the Law that on the sabbath the priests in the temple desecrate the day and yet are innocent?
6 I tell you thet one greater than the temple is here.
7 If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent.
8 For the son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
*
Early morning prayer service by our Pastor, Rev.Hyun-Suk Kim was from
"Hard life college"Which anybody who confesses
"The Lord, Jesus Christ is our savior." can admit anytime, but it's hard to graduate, because life is hard. *
*
*
2 and warned him. "My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hiding and stay there. *
17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said,
19 Therefore go and make deciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit.
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." *
Thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ.
*
4 Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else
5 for each one should carry his own load.
7 Do not be deceived : God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap distruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Sprit will reap the eternal life.
9 Let us not become weary in doing good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. *
29 "Now what have I done?" said David. "Can I even speak?"
36 Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of living God.
37 The LORD who delivered me from the paws of the lion and the paws of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you."
47 All those gethered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands." * *
"Samuel Anoints David"
5 Samuel replied, "Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me." Then he consecrated jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD's anointed stands here before the LORD."
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
11 So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?" "There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "But he is tending the sheep." Samuel said, "Send for him; we will not sit down untill he arrives."
12 So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, "Rise and anoint him; he is the one."
23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king."
We will have peaceful life. *
16
20
23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right.
24 But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he hs done for you.
25 Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away." *
*
He took a pair of oxen, cut them into pieces, and sent the pieces by massingers throughout Israel, proclaiming, "This is what will be done to the oxen of anyone who does not follow Saul and Samuel." Then the terror of the LORD fell on the people, and they turned out as one man.
13 But Saul said, "No one shall be put to death today, for this day the LORD has rescued Israel."
14 Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and there reaffirm the kingship."
15 So all the people went to Gilgal and confirmed Saul as king in the presence of the LORD. There they sacrificed fellowship offerings before the LORD, and Saul and all the Israelites held a great celebration. * *
******
2 He had a son named Saul, an impressive young man without equal among the Israelites-a head taller man any of the others.
3 Now the donkeys belonging to Saul's father Kish were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, "Take one of the servants with you and go and look for the donkeys."
5 When they reached the district of Zuph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, "Come, lets go back, or my father will stop thinking about the donkeys and start worrying about us."
15 Now the day before Saul came, the LORD had revealed this to Samuel:
16 "About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him leader over my people Israel; he will deliver my people from the hand of the Philistines, I have look upon my people, for their cry has reached me."
21 Saul answered, "But am I not a Benjamin, from the smallest tribe of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why do you say such a thing to me?"
27 As they were going down to the edge of the town, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to go on ahead of us" - and the servant did so - "but you stay here awhile, so that i may give you a massage from God." *
*
7 And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.
8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you.
9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do."
10 Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. *
3 And Samuel said to the whole house of Israel, "If you are returning to the LORD with all your hearts, then rid yourselves of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths and commit yourselves to the LORD and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines." *
*
2 There on the poplas we hung our harps,
3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, "Sing us the one of the songs of Zion!"
4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel-all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him."
2 One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could not barely see, was lying down in his usual place.
3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was laying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was.
4 Then the LORD called Samuel, Samuel answered, "Here I am."
5 And he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am; you called me." But Eli said, "I did not call; go back and lie down." So he went and lay down.
6 Again LORD called, "Samuel!" and Samuel gt up and went to Eli and said, :Here I am; you called me." "My son," Eli said, "I did not call; go back and lie down."
7 Now samuel did not yet know the LORD: The word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.
8 The LORD called Samuel a third time, and Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, "Here I am; you called me." Then Eli realized that the LORD was calling the boy.
9 So Eli told Samuel, "Go and lie down, if he calls you, say, 'Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" Then Samuel said, "Speak, for youe servant is listening."
11 And the LORD said to Samuel: "See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who bears of it tingle.
12 At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family - from beginning to end.
13 For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about his sons made themselves contemptible, and he failed to retrain them.
14 Therefore, I swore to the house of Eli, 'The guilt of Eli's house will never be atoned for by sacrifies or offering.' "
15 Samuel lay down until morning and then opened the doors of the house of the LORD. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision,
16 but Eli called him and said, "Samuel, my son." Samuel answered, "Here I am."
17 "What was it he said to you?" Eli asked. "Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you."
18 So Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing from him. Then Eli said, "He is the LORD; let him do what is good in his eyes."
19 The LORD was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of his words fall to the ground.
20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that samuel was attested as a prophet of he LORD.
21 The LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word. *
26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with men.
30 "Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: 'I promised that your house and your father's house would minister before me forever.' But now the LORD declares: ' Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.
*
6 "The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.
9 He will guard the feet of his saints, but the wicked will be silenced in darkness. "It is not by strength that one prevails;
17 This sin of the young men was very great in the LORD's sight, for they were treating the LORD's offering with contempt.
18 But Samuel was ministering before the LORD - a boy wearing a linen ephod.
19 Each year his mother made him a little rob and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, "May the LORD give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed for and gave to the LORD." Then they would go home. *
27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what i asked of him.
28 So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD." And he worship the LORD there. *
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Leave it up to your Lord, and he will take care of the problem.
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on toward the goal to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
13 Brothers, I have not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
10 Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?" - For it is not wise to ask such questions.*
15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But
17 it was the LORD our God himself who brought us and our fathers up out of Egypt, from that land of slavery, and perform those great signs before our eyes. He protected us on our entire journey and among all the nations through which we traveled.
18 And the LORD drove out before us all the nations, including the Amorites, who lived in the land. We too will serve the LORD, because he is our God."
19 Joshua said to the people, "You are not able to serve the LORD. He is a holy God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins.
20 If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign Gods, he will turn and bring disaster on you and make an end of you, after he has been good to you."
21 But the people said to Joshua, "No! We will serve the LORD."
22 Then Joshua said, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to serve the LORD." "Yes we are witnesses," they replied.
23 "Now then," said Joshua, "Throw away the foreign gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel."
24 And the people said to Joshua, "We will serve the LORD our God and obey him." *
He was suicidal when all these bad things were merging in at him...I fully understand the pain he had suffered. At the same time his fellow friends and co workers are moving on buying houses and getting along with their family members and all, the other hand even his wife was not there when their off day with no car, no food..that's when he called first time in long while, for me to bring some food, that's when I saw how badly he looked.
Lord, help my son please. I ask of you to help him healing and survive this time of his life, guide him, give him the way of life. I pray in your precious name Jesus Christ. Amen. *
17 pray continually,
18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. *
*
13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with eachother.
14 And we urge you, brothers,
15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always by try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.
16 Be joyful always;
17 pray continually,
18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not put out the Spirit's fire;
20 do not treat prophecies with contempt.
21 Test everything. Hold on to the good.
22
24 The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.
25 Brothers, pray for us.
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27 I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brother.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. *********
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning-the sixth day.
*
Exactly week after the Korean 15th president passed away????
2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
3 While people are saying, "Peace and Safety" destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, they will not escape.
4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
5 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
8 But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
11 Therefore encourage one another and build eachother up, just as infact you are doing. ********
9 (for the fruit of the light consist in all
10 and find out what pleases the Lord. *******
Lord, take care of my son now, he needs you most now.
14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
15 According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16 For the lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the cloud to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
18 Therefore encourage eachother with these words. ************

*********
2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that You should avoid sexual immorality;
4 that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable,
5 not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God;
6 and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already have told you and warned you.
7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
8 Therefore, he who rejects tis instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
9 Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love eachother.
10 And in fact, you do love all the brothers through out Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more.
11 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind you own business and to work with your hands, jus as we told you,
12 so that you daily life may win the respect of ousiders and so that you will not be dependant on anybody. ******

1 Thessalonians 3:1-13
1 So, when he could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.
2 We sent Timothy, who is our brother and God's fellow worker in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strenghten and encourage you in yur faith,
3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. You know quite well that we were destined for them.
4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be perscuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.
5 For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter might have tempted you and our efforts might have been useless.
6 But Thimoty has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us and that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.
7 Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and perscution we were encouraged about you because of your faith.
8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.
9 How can we thank God enough, for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?
10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you.
12 May the Lord make your love increase and over flow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.
13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

It is the faith when God has hold of us, not by we're holding the God. So, we must ask first if it is indeed what God wants us to do? then, pray about it and wait for the answer before you just go ahead and fail sooner or later, unless you ask God first and ask for the blessing.

Thank you my Lord, thank you for all the people in our church, especially, our Pastor...he is sensually bringing up your gentle love and care for us to remind ourselves how to give and to receive love from eachother.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full amor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything to stand.

Speak of encouragement words to eachother all of the time, in love and care of Christ Jesus.
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of God's churches in Judia, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own countrymen the same things those churches suffered from the Jews,
15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to all men
16 in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at last."
17 But, brothers, when we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.
18 For we wanted to come to you - certainly I, Paul, did, again and again - but Satan stopped us.
19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?
20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy. *******

3 For the appeal we make does not spring from error or inpure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.

5 You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed-God is our witness.
6 We were not looking for praise from men, not from you or anyone else. As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you,
7 but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little childen.
8 We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.
9 Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you.
10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who belived.

3 Yes, and I ask you, yoyal yokefellow, help these women who have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
2 Need to focus on positive side of it rather than the negative side of the conflict, especialy through confliced situations among the church members, we actually learn to see ourselves and learn to forgive eachothers in Christ Jesus for his sake which is our priority as christians. It is actually the chance to grow stronger in faith

3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;

9 There he went into a cave and spent the night. And the word of the LORD came to him: "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
10 He replied, "I have been very jealous for the LORD God almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."
11 The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the LORD is about to pass by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountain apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquick, but the LORD was not in the earthquick.
12 After the earthquick came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
14 He replied, "I have been very jealous for the LORD God almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."
15 The LORD said to him, "Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael King over Aram.
16 Also, anoint Jehu sone of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet.
17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu.
18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel-all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him."
Psalms 118:1-29
1 give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
5 In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting me free.
6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
7 The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.
8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
13 I was pushed back and about to fall, but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
15 Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!
16 The LORD's right hand is liften high; the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!"
17 I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done.
18 The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.
20 This is the gate of the LORD through which the righteous may enter.
21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.

10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples.
11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
13 But go and learn what this means 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Gaiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert.

For the diretor of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:
1 I love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.
4 The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destructon overwhelmed me.
5 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I call to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

James 5:13-18 "The Prayer of Faith"
13 Is anyone of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.
14 Is anyone of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
16 Therefore confess your sins to eachother and pray for eachother so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel. But Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
3 The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, "Do you know that the LORD is going to take your master from you today?" "Yes, I know," Elisha replied, "but do not speak of it."
4 Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here, Elisha; the LORD has sent me to Jericho." And he replied, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So they went to Jericho.
5 The company of the prophets at Jericho went up to Elisha and asked him, "Do you know that the LORD is going to take your master from you today?" "Yes, I know," he replied, "But do not speak of it."
6 Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here; the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." And he replied,"As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So the two of them walked on.
7 Fifty men of the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan.
8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water devided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?" "Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit," Elisha replied.
10 "You have asked a difficult thing," Elijah said, "if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours-otherwise not."
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly, a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah said went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
12 Elisha saw this and cried out, "My father! My father! The chriots and horsemen of Israel!" and Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them apart.
13 He picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
14 Then he took the cloak that had fallen from him and struck the water with it. "Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" he asked. When he struck the water, it devided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.

1King 19:19-21 19 So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him.20 Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. "Let me kiss my father and mother good-by," he said, "and then I will come with you." "Go back," Elijah replied. "What have I done to you?"
21 So Elisha left him nd went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he sat out to follow Elijah and became his attendant.
Romans 8:31-39 31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died-more than that, who was raise to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
35 Who shall seperate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36 As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Psalms 100:1-5 1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the LORD is God. It is who made us , and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

My court date has been extended again till October.
By what my lawyer has told me, it's clear that I'm innocent of all charges they brought upon me.
Trish Wilson has ran away, when they were look for her and now we have to wait till she appears on the court, they say.
It is not right for me, I had to come this far to prove my innocense and now they have put it on hold, despite of all the lost on my side, My time, money, my job and my emotional stress for last a year and a half.
I had to borrow money to cover private lawyer, because it was going no where with public defender even if I was innocent.
Thank God for all the help I have gotten from my church, my employer, my room mate and my children who prayed for me.
Just know that this has to be over soon, so that I may live my life, take care of my business and take care of my children.
Lord, find Trish Wilson to come forward and tell all the reasons why she had to frame me, please. I pray in your holy name, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Phillippians 3:7-11 "Throwing out the old and bringing the New"
7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compare to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them robbish, that I may gain Christ
9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-the righteousness that-comes from God and is by faith.
10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Psalms 46:5 5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.Romans 8:1-30
"Life Through the Spirit" 1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 because through Christ Jesus the law of Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,
4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;
7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
10 But if Christ is in you,your body is dead because of sin,yrt your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation-but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.
13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,
14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are son of God.
15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear,but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
21 that the creation itself will be liverated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious frredom of the children of God.
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, grown inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adaption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?
25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordence with God's will.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to its purpose.
29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
Hebrews 12:1-17 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with persevarance the race marked out for us.
2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and loose heart.
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not loose heart when he rebukes you,
6 because Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not discipline by his father?
8 If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and true sons.
9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the father of our spirits and live!
10 Our fathers disciplined us for a littl while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.
11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.
13 "Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
15 See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
16 See that no one is immoral, or is Godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.
17 Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. He could bring about no change of mind, though he sought blessing with tears.
1 Kings 18:16-46
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17 When he saw Elijah, he said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel?"
18 "I have not made trouble for Israel," Elijah replied. "But you and your father's family have. You have abandoned the LORD's commands and have followed the Baals.
19 Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table."
20 So Ahab sent word through out all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel.
21 Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; But if Baal is God, follow him." But the people said nothing.
22 Then Elijah said to them, "I am the only one of the LORD's prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.
23 Get two bulls for us. Let hem choose one for themselves, and let them cut in into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it.
24 Then you call on name on your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD. The god who answers by fire-he is God.' Then all the people said, "What you say is good."
25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there are so many of you. Call on the name of your god, but do not light the fire."
26 So they took the bull given them and prepared it. Then they call on the name of Baal from morning till noon. "O Baal, answer us!" they shouted. But there was no response; no one answered. And they danced around the altar they had made.
27 At noon Elijah began to taunt them. "Shout louder!" he said. "Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened."
28 So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, untill their blood flowed.
29 Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying untill the time for the evening sacrifice. But there was no response, no one answered, no one paid attention.
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come here to me." They came to him, then he repaired the altar of the LORD, which was in ruins.
31 Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying,"Your name shall be Israel."
32 With the stones he built on altar in the name of the LORD, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
33 He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, "Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood."
34 "Do it again," he said, and they did it again. "Do it a third time," he ordered, and they did it the third time.
35 The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.
36 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
37 Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are GOd, and that you are turning their hearts back again."
38 Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The LORD, he is God! the LORD-he is God!"
40 Then Elijah commanded them, "Seize the prophets of Baal. Don't let anyone get away!" They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain."
42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.
43 "Go and look toward the sea," he told his servant. And he went up and looked. "There is nothing there," he said, Seven times Elijah said, "Go back."
44 The seven time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea." So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chriot and go down before the rain stops you.'"
45 Meanwhile, the sky grew back with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel.
46 The power of the LORD came upon Elijah and tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jazreel.
*****
1 Kings 19:1-18 1 Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with sword.2 So Jezebel sent a massenger to Elijah to say, "May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them."
3 Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,
4 while he himself went a day's journey into the desert. He came to a broom tree, set down under it and prayed that he might die. "I have had enough, LORD," he said. "Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors."
5 Then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep. All at once angel touched him and said, "Get up and eat."
6 He looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.
7 The angel of the LORD came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you."
8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled fourty days and fourty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.
9 There he went into a cave and spent the night.
The LORD appears to ElijahAnd the word of the LORD came to him: "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
10 He replied, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."
11 The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
14 He replied, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."
15 The LORD said to him, "Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram.
16 Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet.
17 Jehu will put to death ay who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu.
18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel-all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-13
"Time for everything"
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weap and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gether them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up, and a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
9 What does the worker gain from his toil?
10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end .
12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live.
13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil-this is the gift of God.
14 I know that everything God does will endure forever, nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.
15 Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before, and God will call the past to account.
16 And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment-wickedness was there, in the place of justice-wickedness was there.
17 I thought in my heart, "God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, time for every deed.
Romans 12:1-2
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship.
2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
John 4:21-24 21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the father seeks.
24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
Romans 12:1-2 1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-This si your spiritual act of worship.
2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Slept late this morning, could not make it to morning prayer service, just read these at home,
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil.
9 For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
16 Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18 The day of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever.
19 In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
20 But the wicked will perish: The LORD's enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish-vanish like smoke.
21 The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
22 those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be cut off.
23 If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;
24 though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken on their children begging bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed.
27 Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.
28 For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cutoff.
29 the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
30 The mouth of righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.
31 The law his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.
32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, seeking their very lives;
33 but the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
34 Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found.
37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future for the man of peace.
38 But all sinners will be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.
39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their strong hold in time of trouble.
40 The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
Psalms 121:1-8 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip-he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed,he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you-the LORD is your shade at your right hand.
6 the sun will not harm you by day-nor the moon by night.
Oh, gracious Lord Jesus Christ, save me from evil, save me to witness your victory in my case, I believe you, I thank you. Amen.
2 Corinthians 6:1-10 1 As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain.
2 For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. "I tell you now is the time of God's favor, now is the time of salvation.
3 We put stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.
4 Rather, as servants of God we command ourselves in every way: in great indurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;
6 In purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love,
8 through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as imposters;
9 known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;
10 sorrowful, yet always rejoyful; poor yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
Galatians 5:1,13-26 "Freedom in Christ"
1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.
14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, ad the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.
18 But, you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19 The act of the sinful nature are obvious; sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition,dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
James 2:17 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
2 Corinthians 5:8-21 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
11 Since then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.
12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart.
13 If we are out of mind, it is for the sake of God, if we are in our right mind, it is for you.
14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
17 Therefore if anyone in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
19 that God was reconciliating the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the massage of reconciliation.
20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Metthew 8:5-13
"The Faith of the Centurion"
Isaiah 56:4-8 4 For this is what the LORD says: "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what please me and hold fast to my covenants-
5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
6 And foreigners who bind themselves to the LORD to serve him, to love the name of the LORD, and to worship him, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant-
7 These I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my alter, for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations."
8 The Sovereign LORD declares-he who gathers exiles of Israel: "I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered."
Luke 19:45-48 45 Then he entered the temple area and began driving out those who were selling.
46 "It is written," he said to them, "'My house will be a house of prayer'; but you have made it 'a den of robbers.'"
47 Everyday he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people hung on his words.
48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.
2 Corinthians 6:10-13 10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.
12 We are not holding our affection from you, but you are with-holding yours fron us.
13 As a fair exchange - I speak as to my children - open wide your hearts also.
2 Corinthians 5:1-10 1 Now we know that if the early tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands
2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
4 For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.
7 We live by faith, not by sight.
8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with Lord.
9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Jonas 4:6-11
6 Then the LORD God provided a vine and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Johah was very happy about the vine.
7 But at dawn the next day God provided worm, which chew the vine so that withered.
8 When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, "It would be better for me to die than to live."
9 But God said to Jonah, "Do you have a right to be angry about the vine?" "I do," he said. "I am angry enough to die."
10 But the LORD said, "You have been concerned about this vine, though you did not tend it or make it grow, It sprang up overnight and died overnight.
11 But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about that great city?"

Ephesians 6:10-20
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given to me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 for when I am an ambassador in chains.
2 for you know very well that the day of th LORD will come like a thief in the night.
3 While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them
4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that tis day should surprise you like a thief.
5 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong belong to the night or darkness.
6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self controlled.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
8 But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
12 Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you.
13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.
14 And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.
16 Be joyful always;
17 pray continually;
18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not put out the Spirit's fire;
20 do not treat prophecies with contempt.
21 Test everything. Hold on to the good.
22 Avoid every kind of evil.
23 May God himself, the God of peace, santify you through and through.
2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil.
9 For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
22 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites this: "You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven:
23 Do not make any Gods to be alongside me; do not make for youeselves gods of silver or gods of gold.
24 " 'Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifies on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.
2 This is what the ancients were commended for.
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
4 By faith Abel offered god a better sacrificethat cain did.
5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
25 Thanks be to God-through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my
12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him.
13 and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
14 When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests."
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him-and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus asked, "Were not all ten healed? Where are the other nine?
18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"
19 Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

"Jesus heals a paralytic"
We will have new pastor tonight.
1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house.
3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of everything.
4 For every house is built by everyone, but God is the builder of everything.
5 Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house, testifying to what would be said in the future.
6 But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
7 So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert.
9 where your fathers tested and tried me and for fourty years saw what I did.
2 The people, however were still sacrificing at the high places, because a temple had not yet been built for the Name of the LORD.
3 Solomon showed his love for the LORD by walking according to the statutes of his father David,
4 The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place,
5 At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you."
6 Solomon answered, "You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David,
7 "Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David.
8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number.
9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.
10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this.
11 So God said to him, "Since you have asked for his ad not for long life or wealth for yourself,
12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart,
13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for-both riches and honor-so that in your life time you will have no equal aong kings.
14 And if you walk in my ways and obey my statues and commands as David your fater did, I wll give you a long life."
15 Then Solomon awoke-and he realized it had been a dream. He returned to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the Lord's covenant and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.
12 Nevertheless, for the sake of David your father, I will not do it during your lifetime.

Thank you my sweet Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen. *****
22 Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
23 "Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
26 "The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.'
27 The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
28 "But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii.
29 "His fellow servant felt to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.'
30 "But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.
31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 "Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said,'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.
33 Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?'
34 In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character, and character, hope.
5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
10 For it, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his son,
11 Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in our God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
9 The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," Do not steal," "Do not covet,"
10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fullfillment of the law.
6 Now the men of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him,
7 I was fourty years old when the Moses the servant of the LORD send me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land.
8 but my brothers who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt with fear.
9 So on that day Moses swore to me, ' The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly.'
10 "Now then, just as the LORD promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five
11 I am still as strong as the day Moses sent me out; I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then.
12 Now give me this hill country the the LORD promised me that day.
13 The Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him hebron as his inheritance.
14 So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.
15 (Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba after Arba, who was the greatest man among the Anakites.)
30 Then Joshua built on Mount Ebal an altar to the LORD, the God of Iarael,
31 as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the Israelites.
32 There, in the presence of Israelites, Joshua copied on stones the law of Moses, which he had written.
33 All Israel, aliens and citizens alike, with their elders, officials and judges,
34 Afterward, Joshua read all the words of the law-the blessings and the curses-just as it is written in the Book of the Law.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua did not read to the whole assembly of Israel,
5 Build there an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. Do not use any iron tool upon them.
6 Build the altar to the LORD your God with fieldstones and offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God.
7 Sacrifice fellowship offerings there, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God.
1 Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite
2 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites again."
3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath Haaraloath.
4 Now this si why he did so: All those who came out of Egypt-all the men of
5 All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born
6 The Israelites had moved about in the desert fourty years until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the LORD.
7 So he raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised.
8 And after the whole nation had been circumcised, they remained where they were in camp untill they were healed.
9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you."
8 Nineveh is like a pool, and and its water is draining away. "Stop! Stop!" they cry, but no one turns back.
9 Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold! The supply is endless, the wealth from all its treasures!
10 She is pillaged, plundered, stripped! Hearts melt, knees give away, bodies tremble, every face grows pale.
11 Where now is the lion's den, the place where they fed their young, where the lion and lioness went, and the cubs, with nothing to fear?
12 The lion killed enough for his cubs and strangled the prey for his mate,
13 "I am against you," declares the LORD Almighty.
Acts 22:6-11
Acts 26 13-18
14 Sing, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The LORD has taken away your punishment, he has turn back your enemy.
16 On that day they will say to Jerusalem, "Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands hang limp.

Sunday service sermon was from
19 When the owners of the slave girl realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities.
20 They brought them before the magistrates and said, "These man are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar
21 by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice."
22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten.
23 After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully.
24 Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fasten their feet in the stocks.
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God.
26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken.
27 The jailor woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his

29 The jailor called for lights,rushed in ad fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household."
32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in the house.
33 At that hours of the night the jailor took them and washed their wounds, then immediately he and all his family were baptized.
34 The jailor brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God-he and his whole family.

8 For physical trainning is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
9 This is trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance

8 "no," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."
9 "Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!"

4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not have the same funtion,
5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to the others.
6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.
7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow, they do not labor or spin.
29 Yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help.
13 He will take pity on the work and the needy and save the needy from death.
14 He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.
15 Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip-he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you-the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Thank you my sweet LORD.
Lord, forgive me, but you know my heart is with you and the church.
2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law was powerless to do in what it was wickened by the sinful nature.
4 in order that the righeous requirements of the law might be fully met in us,
5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires;
6 The mind of sinful man is death, but mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;
7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, can it do so.
8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
9 You, however, are controlled not by sinful nature but by the Spirit of God lives in you.
10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation-but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.
13 For if you live according to sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,
14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. ******

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of th shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you ae with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
1 Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea;
2 hear me and answer me, My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
3 at the voice of the enemy, at the stares of the wicked; for they bring down suffering upon me and revile me in their anger.
4 My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death assail me.
5 Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.
6 I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be t rest-
7 I would flee far away and stay in the desert; Selah
8 I would hurry to my place of the shelter, far from the tempest and storm."
9 Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they prowl about on its walls; malice and abuse are within it.
11 Destructive forces are at work in the city; threats and lies never lieve its streets.
12 If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were raising himself against me, I could hide from him.
13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion my close friend,
14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship as we walked with the throng at the house of God.
15 Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the grave, for evil finds lodging among them.
Thank you my sweet Lord, love you only. Amen.

3 My enemies turn back; they stumble and perrish before you.
4 For you have upheld my right and my cause; you have set on your throne, judging righteously.
5 You have rebuked the nations and destroy the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.

8 He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice.

8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath, do not fret-it leads only to evil.
9 For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:

5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
6 The captain went to him and said, "How can you sleep? get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us, and we will not perish."
7 Then the sailors said to eachother, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity."
8 So they asked him, "Tell us, who is responsibe for making all this trouble for us? What do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?"
9 He answered, "I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land."
10 This terrified them and they asked, "What have you done?" (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he had already told them so.)

17 In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement, because in this world we are like him.
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with purnishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 We love because he first loved us.
20 If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom h has not seen.
21 And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
14 (Indeed, when gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law,

Ephesians5;1-9,22-33,
1 Be imitation of God, therefore, as dearly loved children
2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.
4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person-such a man is an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.,br.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
8 for you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. live as children of light.
9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the savior.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without strain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church
30 for we are members of his body.
31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and he united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
32 This is a profound misterybut i am talking about Christ and the church.
33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
2 "Honor your father and mother."-which is the first commandment with a promise-
3 "that will may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."
4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

1 "I am the true vine, and my father is the gardener.
2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine.
Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branches that is thrown away and withers, such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to you.
9 " As the father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
11 I have told you this so that my joy maybe in you and that your joy maybe complete.
12 My command is this; Love eachother as I have loved you.
17 This is my command; Love eachother.

41st Early morning Prayer service was from
24 I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
25 The man who loves his life will loose it, while the man who hates his life in this world
will keep it for eternal life.
26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.
My Father will honor the one who serves me.
27 "Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.
28 Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven,
"I have glorified it, and will glorify again."
We are having our church spring cleaning work after the service. Hollyluya, praise the Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
started wailing and said, " If only we had meat to eat!
5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost-also the cucumbers, melons,
leeks, onions and garlic.
6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but manna!"
7 The manna was like coriander seed and looked like resin.
8 The people went around gathering it, and then ground it in a handmill or crushed it in a mortar.
They cooked it in a pot or made it into cakes. And it tasted like something made with olive oil.
9 When the dew settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.

Spiritual being vs Experiences

Sunday, 22th, March, 2009.
Thank you my sweet Lord, Jesus Christ.
Truth is simple, no matter how they try to hide and twist it, I'm innocent.
What they want is money I do not have, it is also truth and thank god for that too.
They did not know me well, only they see is money by abusing their position to hurt helpless mother..but, I have you, my sweet Lord, Jesus Christ.
Public defenders are different from private lawyers, they paid by the state..I'm learning the whole new world and rather amused by it.
My roommate since 2003, works for the sherif's department and it is also amazing too, he seems trying to help me, he knows how I have worked so passionately for Good Will store, he knows I'm innocent of all these rediculus acusations upon me.
fed the 5000 people with two fishes and 3 loaves of bread and he was treated
as if he was going to be a king, but when Jesus was on the cross to die as Jesus predicted
he denied him three times before the cock cried out for the dawn.
because he did not know Jesus was to die for our sin and resurrect before he goes to father
who is in heaven to witness himself being son of God.

Sermon was from Psalm 107:23-32
24 They saw the works of the LORD, his wonderful deeds in the deep.
25 For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves.
26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in theur peril their courage melted away.
27 They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at their wit's end.
28 Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.
29 He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired heaven.
31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.
32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the counsil of the elders.

If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse.

It is not about innocent nor guilty..it is killing.
I've worked hard to come this far..I need your help, my wonderful LORD.
Amen.

It is actually Luna New Years Day....Lizzett is not able to help me and temp agent is not calling for me to work.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.
4 One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
At that moment their mother who was so tired of living everyday in hard labor, was going to end her life by taking month-long saved sleeping pill, reading this note from her son changed her mind and realizing her son's love saved her.
Like Judah, who saved Joseph from thrown into ditch by suggested to other brothers to sell him for a slave to merchants who were passing by..Judah who saved his widowed daughter-in-law who gotten pregnant without husband which it was actually by him not knowing it was her and exposing his guilt and let her live...
Salvation is the answer, Love not between man and woman, not worldly, but spiritual emphathy, humanity, with vision of the Lord, to save eachother from hell.
It was warmer day.
Sermon was on
8 "Judah," your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons will bow down to you.
9 You are a lion's cub, O Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lie down, like a lioness-who dares to rouse him?
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruller's staff from between his feet, untill he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his.
11 He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
12 His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk.
I cried when he exampled a young son who lives with widowed mother and younger brother, by leaving a appolizing note before going to sleep, on his brother's ramen that he cooked earlier while mom at work(she had to work all day long on three different places), which his brother did not liked and refused to eat, so, as a older brother he had displine him and made him cry..the note ends with saying he had also prepared the ramen for his mother who would come home late at night, hungry.
Sharing your blessings with despirately needed. Your soul will be healed, will be filled with joy of giving and be blessed even more...The nations will be yours.

In solar eclipses, the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, casting its
shadow on the terrestrial surface.
In an annular eclipse, a tiny shift in distance that results from celestial
mechanics means the Moon does not completely cover the Sun's face,
as it does in a total eclipse.
Instead, for those directly under the alignment, the Moon covers most of the
Sun's surface, and a ring-like crown of solar light blazes from the edge of the disk.
For those watching from the fringe of the track, the Sun is partially obscured,
as if a bite has been taken out of it.
According to veteran NASA eclipse-watcher Fred Espenak, the total eclipse
track will run from west to east on Monday from 0606 GMT to 0952 GMT.
It will traverse the Indian Ocean and western Indonesia before petering out just
short of Mindanao, the Philippines.
The partial eclipse will be seen in a much wider swathe, including the southern
third of Africa, Madagascar, Australia, Southeast India, Southeast Asia
and Indonesia.
It will be the only annular solar eclipse this year. The last was on
7 February, 2007, and after Monday, the next one will be on 15 January, 2010.
The big event for eclipse junkies this year is on July 22, when a total solar eclipse
will be visible from India and China, the world's two most populous countries.
Annual solar eclipse of Jan 26 2009.

Proverbs 30;
Proverbs 31;
Proverbs 9;
2 "O my son, O son of my womb, o son of my vows,"
3 do not spend your strength on woman, your vigor on those who ruin kings.
4 "It is not for kings, O Lemuel-not for kings to drink wine, not for rules to crave beer,
8 "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
30 Charm is deceptivee, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something new"?
It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.
16 For the wise man, like the fool, will not be long remembered; in days to come both will be forgotten. Like the fool, the wise man too must die!
19 And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the work into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless.
24 Aman can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God,
25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?
26 To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
1 There is a time for everything, and season for every activity under heaven:
5 The fool folds his hands and ruin himself.
6 Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.
9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fullfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fullfill your vow.
5 It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fullfill it.
6 Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, "My vow was a mistake." Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands?
7 Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore stand in awe of God.

7"Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult; whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.
8 Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you.
10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For through me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer."
1 The Proverbs of Solomom: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother.
4 Lazy hands make a man poor, but dilligent hands bring wealth.
8 The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
14 Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.
17 He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
18 He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
19 When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.
25 A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
28 Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.
Proverbs 12;
1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
4 A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
5 The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
8 A man is praised according to his wisdom, but men with warped minds are despised.
9 Better to be nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
10 A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
11 He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgement.
18 Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
20 There is deceit in the heart of those who plot evil, but joy for those who promote peace.
28 In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality.
Proverbs 13;
1 A wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.

4 The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the dilligent are fully satisfied.
7 One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lsmp of the wicked is snuffed out.
11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.
13 He who scorns instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command is rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
15 Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.
16 Every prudent man acts out of knowledge, but a fool exposes his folly.
18 He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
20 He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
21 Misfortune pursues the sinner, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous.
6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easly to the discerning
7 Stay away from a foolish man, for you will not find knowledge on his lips.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.
10 Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.
11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
15 A simple men believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps.
16 A wise man fears the LORD and shuns evil, but a fool is hotheaded and reckless.
18 The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
21 He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who is kind to the needy.
23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
25 A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness is deceitful.
27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
30 A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
31 He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.
34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
5 A fool spurns his father's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.
8 The LORD detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.
10 Stern discipline awaits him who leaves the path; he who hates correction will die.
12 A mocker resents correction; he will not consult the wise.
13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.
17 Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred.
18 A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel.
19 The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.
20 A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly delights a man who lacks judgment, but a man of understanding keeps a straight course.
22 Plans fail for lack of councel, but with many advisers they succeed.
23 A man finds joy in giving an apt reply-and how good is a timely word.
25 The LORD tears down the proud man's house but he keeps the widow's boundaries intact.
27 A greedy man brings trouble to his family, but he who hates bribes will live.
30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.
32 He who ignores disciplines despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.
33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
5 The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the LORD a man avoid evil.
8 Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.
9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.
32 Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.
5 He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.
6 Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.
7 Arrogant lips are unsulted to a fool-how much worse lying lips to a ruler!
8 A bribe is a charm to the one who gives it; wherever he turns, he succeeds.
13 If a man pays back evil for good, evil will never leave his house.
16 Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?
23 A wicked man accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the course of justice.
24 A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to the one who bore him.
27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.
28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if holds his tongue.
2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airung his own oppinions.
14 Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
27 Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
29 Penalties are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
11 Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right.
19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.
20 If a man curses his father or mother, his lamp will be snuffed out in pitch dark.
3 To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin!
10 The wicked man craves evil; his neighbor gets no mercy fron him.
17 He who loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and oil will never be rich.
24 The proud and arrogant man-"Mocker" is his name; he behaves with overweening pride.
4 Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth and honor and life.
6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
11 He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend.
16 He who oppresses the poor to increse his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich-both comes to poverty.
22 Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court,
23 for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who plunder them.
29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men.
1 When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you,
3 Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive.
6 Do not eat the food of a stingy man, do not crave his delicacies;
7 for he is the kind of man who is always thinking about the cost.
"Eat and Drink," he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
9 Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words.
10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless.
13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
14 Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.
15 My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad;
16 my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.
19 Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat.
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, displine and understanding.
25 may your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice!
3 by wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.
8 he who plots evil will be known as a schemer.
9 The schemes of folly are sin, and men detest a mocker.
12 If you say,"But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the
heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person
according to what he has done?
13 eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a
future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

Job was crying like me, but, Elihu woke him up and saved by the Lord again.
14 For God does speak-now one way, now another-though man may not perceive it.
Lord, thank you so much...
Job 33
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak in their years and terrify them with warnings,
17 to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride,
18 to preserve his soul from the pit,his life from perishing by the sword.
19 Or a man may be chastened on a bed of pain with constant distress in his bones,
20 so that his very being finds food repulsive and his soul loathes the choicest meal.
21 His flesh wastes away to nothing and hid bones, once hidden, now stick out.
22 His soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the messengers of death.
23 "Yet if there is an angel on his side as a mediator, one out of a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,
24 to be gracious to him and say,'Spare him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for him'-
28 He redeemed my soul from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light.'
29"God does all these things to a man-twice, even three times-
30 to turn back his soul from the pit, that the light of life may shine on him.
31 "pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me; speak up, for I want you to be cleared.
33 But if not, then listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom."
Amen
Amen.
Today's sermon was from Psalm50:15
"and call upon me in the day of triuble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
Why wouldn't you be angry, sad, feel lost...
He lost his father when he was less than 1 year old, he had to come to America with mommie. Since then never have seen his people includes his loving grandma who passed away 2006...his intentions were good, loving and trusted people around him, but, things were not as he thought he knew..He went to bragg's when he was not sure what's happenning with mom, when she was not strong to hold on to the home he was living with..despite of all the good work at school, good college, which mom wanted him to go and study to have better life, yet, he was already influenced with things that are not the princeple of the life, like people around him at Ellabell, just surviving day by day like hopeless life, he had to do whatever to ease the pain of loosing what he believed. He knew no matter what he does, it brings nothing...he just gave his heart away. And now his own mother is even accused of theft from Good-Will which she worked hard for 5 years, just because she quit the job, and they would not want to pay the p.t.o.time that she saved, it's humiliation. They think they can get you, but, the Lord is with us and he will protect you because, I have been praying every morning for you, not because, you are my son, because, you are given to me to live the life not death. Lord Jesus Christ have saved me through you.
He lost his first baby girl this autumn on thankgiving day, despite of marring to Stephanie like a good man, even though he cann't afford to have his own place. he is not happy that he is not doing better, meantime his best friends are through college and so on..I fully understand.
When he showed me what he does like gaming, movies, I saw his sadness...He was always among the top 5 in his schooldays..It was blessing from the Lord, because, we were good with Lord.
Son, best day is yet to come for you.
Just remember we came a long way to get here, even if it's not the best yet.
You must come to the Lord, ask his guidence before anything you would like to do more in life.
Remember, Lord had given you to me to live..not dying.
I had a dream when you were born, I now realize it was Lord's holiness and promise to me to raise you.
No matter how far you think you can achieve without commited to his guidence, you will not..
He is sad when you are denying him.. because, you are not truly happy without him.
He loves you more than you ever know, he is waiting for you.
Tony shouted "You are here without invitation, this is not your house(more like not our house..), you are so rude.." when I took some birthday cake and food to him dispite of his unwanting about my care.
My response was "I must do it, because, I'm your mother.."
He had puppy, look just like the one Bragg's have..Maybe Stephanie started work already, she was not there...
He seem not happy, I told him I'll not do this no more..
Lord, I ask of you to hold him and bring him to your care..let him know that you are with him, Love you, obey you.
Amen.
Lord, you have saved us in the past, only you.
My pastor is on one week fast praying time.
Today's sermon was from the Luke 10:25-37.
He talked about the "Pain" in human's mind, that caused by unhappy childhood, physical abuse, mental abuse by their family members, which brings out unexpected behaviors in later life of them, who happens to serve children and people in ministry often fail to serve correctly.
he also mention about his younger days, that his family was so so poor(caused by failier of father's businesses), he could not bring any of his friends to the house, unless he goes over to his friend's house.
It reminded me of the time when I was raising Tony by myself in Ellabell, I was so ashamed of trailor that we had lived, I told tony not to bring no one home.
But,we went to church always..I always believed things will get better, when Tony get to graduate college(I had no doubt, as I believed he will graduate as valedictorian of the class-he quit college, although, he graduated 3rd in his class-I still thought was blessing from the Lord upon his good work, without father and no one to help). We fought hard to survive..I have no regret, although i wish Tony will come to church with his wife, he has to.. one day..
You guide him, make him come to you and follow you, you are the only father he has...Bless him and his wife.
Love you and praise you forever.Amen.
Saturday,3rd,January,2009.
Thank You, my sweet Lord, I believe you, I follow you, Please, bless us, let us be your instrument to shine on your salvation, your love, your blessing..Amen.
The title of sermon was "No flower blooms without shaken"
out of Hosea12:1-6
2 The LORD has a charge to bring against Judah; he will punish Jacob according to his ways and repay him according to his deeds.
3 In the womb he grasped his brother's heel; as a man he struggled with God.
4 he struggled with angel and overcame him; he wept and begged for his favor; he found him at bethel and talked with him there
5 the LORD God Almighty, the LORD is his name of renown!
6 But you must return to your God; maintain love and justice, and wait for your God always.
Exodus,Moses...finished, next reading-Leviticus.
Merry Christmas !
I got to see Tony and Stephanie.
Lord, please, Bless these young and beautiful couple, grant them your wisdom, faithfulness, patience, Love for you and follow you, so that they may find the way to make it and come back to you with lots of happiness with appreciations for you.

Lord, you always try to tell me through the dreams..thank you.
My work place said no work for me till new year.
Had strange dream last night.
Lady I knew was in the dream-realize it was the lady i work with, we were in large market place, every one was closing down their businesses and I was keep thinking about my son and trying to get to him, I had put him in this small restaurant and he was there sitting down and having dinner, when I got to him finally..he was still like little boy in my dream, but I was so glad that he was still there waiting for me to come get him. it was windy and cold in the dream as well.
I was working with all the people in my dream, but, I knew my work was no longer available in the dream, because, all the stores and businesses were closing down.
I thought about what the dream meant, when I got to work..things were going good till end of the day as it always has been, since i work with Tem agent. Tasha said don't come till new year, till they call again.
Thank you for the son you have given...
Love you..Amen.
18 If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants would have been like the sand, your children like its numberless grains; their name would never be cut off nor destroyed from before me."
20 Leave Babylon, flee from the Babylonians! Announce this with shouts of joy and proclaim it. Send it out to the end of the earth; say, "The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob."
Lord, that you would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my teritory,
that your hand would be with me,
and that you would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!"
So God granted him what he requested.
Lord, bless me and my children, grant them peace, love, hope and faith in you.
Service was good, all the students were visiting home, so, some of us had to cover their positions, reminded us how well young students were serving our Lord.
It was wonderful as it always has been it was ...especially,
the sermon about Love among the believers in church and for others
(Phillip 2:1-11)"If you have heart of Christ, you can win the heart of others-LOVE and forgive",
he emphasized on our behavior toward the people who we might mistreat, because of our lack of love and salvation of christ in our heart.
I felt so wonderfully uplifting.
Lord is alive!!!we had evening gethering at one of our senior member's house, food was very good, singing was fun and we were blessed.
Thank you my sweet Lord, Bless our Pastor, Bless our people who prays for eachothers,
heal all the people whose in need, phisically, emotionally..Amen.

Great-grandma,another Great-grandma, Great-grandpa, Grand-uncle(my older brother whom I adored) and if you are lucky your Grandpa too.
They all will be so amazed that you bloody, beautiful, little thing is Tony's baby girl.
I was accompanied by you all day while working,
it was silently joyful to see you with all my wonderful family in heaven.
You sweet thing, butterfly will fly around you,
you little thing, you might even start flying yourself through the flowers, across the sunshiny field..
I know I will see you when I get there, we can hug and never let go..
You were the most beautiful bloody tiny thing I saw last night, before you went away.
I thank the Lord that I got to see you briefly last night before you had to go.
