THROUGH EYES OF FAITH

WHY DID GOD TELL ABRAHAM TO GO OUT AND LOOK AT THE STARS AFTER HE PROMISED HE WAS GOING TO BE THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS?BECAUSE GOD KNEW THAT ABRAHAM NEEDED TO GET A PICTURE OF IT IN HIS MIND.ABRAHAM AND SARAH WAS OLD AND CHILDLESS,AND IN THE NATURAL,IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION.BUT WHEN ABRAHAM LOOKED UP AT THE STARS,HE WAS REMINDED OF GODS PROMISE.HE BEGAN TO SEE THE PROMISE THROUGH EYES OF FAITH.THERES NOTHING THAT CAN COME ABOUT UNTILL YOU FIRST THINK ABOUT WHAT YA WANT OR NEED ,WHAT EVER IT IS THAT YOU WANT TO DO.AFTER THE THOUGHT YOU HAVE TO VIEW IT THROUGH YOUR EYES OF FAITH BEFORE IT CAN COME TO PASS.CHANGE WHAT YOUR SEEING ,AND YOU WILL CHANGE WHAT YOUR PRODUCING.GOD CAN AND WILL GIVE YOU YOUR HEARTS DESIRE,IF ITS IN HIS WILL .KEEP THE FAITH,PRAY AND GOD WILL DO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS IN YOUR LIFE.{GENESIS 15:5 THEN THE LORD TOOK ABRAHAM OUTSIDE AND SAID TO HIM," LOOK UP INTO THE SKY AND COUNT THE STARS IF YOU CAN,THATS HOW MANY DECENDANTS YOU WILL HAVE .}ASK GOD THROUGH YOUR EYES OF FAITH AND HE WILL GRANT YOU MANY THINGS ...GOD LOVES YAS , WE LOVE YAS , HAVE A BLESSED DAY,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,RON

I AGREE

I agree BROTHER BRAD, Its been a LONG HARD WINTER FOR US ALL, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, OR WEST. I would love to hear as the old bluegrass song says,"A BLUEBIRD SINGIN IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS". I am still praying for the LORD JESUS to help me and my family through all this bad weather, and the economy. Im a carpenter and they both have hurt us as far as our income this winter. But I know that JESUS IS STILL IN CONTROL OF IT ALL, and as the scripture says", I HAVE NOT SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN OR HIS SEED BEGGING BREAD." One thing I know without a doubt as the title of the old hymn says "GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU".

The Window Through Which We Look

~~~~The Window Through Which We Look~~~~

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast,
The young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not very clean", she said.
"She doesn't know how to wash correctly.
Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."

Her husband looked on, but remained silent.

Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry,
the young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a
Nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:

"Look, she has learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this."

The husband said, "I got up early this morning and
Cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life. What we see when watching others
Depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

I hope that you have a very blessed day ~ no matter what the weather!

AMEN...... STRAIGHT BACK TO THE GOOD OLE BASICS !!

ISAIAH 9:6

" HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL !!!!!!"

-----THE GREATEST MAN-----

HE HAD NO EARTHLY SERVANTS, YET THEY CALLED HIM MASTER.
HE HAD NO DEGREE, YET THEY CALLED HIM TEACHER.
HE HAD NO MEDICINES, YET THEY CALLED HIM HEALER.
HE HAD NO ARMY, YET KINGS FEARED HIM.
HE WON NO MILITARY BATTLES, YET HE CONQUERED THE WORLD
HE COMMITTED NO CRIME, YET THEY CRUCIFIED HIM.
HE WAS BURIED IN A TOMB, YET HE LIVES !!!!!!!!!!!

WHATEVER LIFE BRINGS YOUR WAY, BE SURE TO REVERT BACK TO THE GOOD OLE BASIC TEACHINGS THAT JESUS HAS PROVIDED TO YOU AND I TO BE SURE OUR FAITH REMAINS STEADFAST AND FOCUSED ON THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, OUR HOME ONE FINE DAY.

THE VALUES OF MEMORIES

I SIT AROUND AT TIMES AND I LIKE TO THINK OF THINGS THAT REMIND ME OF SOME OF THE GOOD TIMES THAT IVE HAD IN MY LIFE,WHILE THINKING OF THINGS THAT MIGHT BETTER MY FUTURE.PUT UP THINGS IN YOUR HOUSE OR OFFICE OR AROUND YOUR DESK,IN YOUR LIVING ROOM OR ANYWHERE THAT REMINDS YOU OF GOOD TIMES AND IT BUILDS YOUR FAITH---PHOTOS THAT BRING BACK MEMORIES THAT SHOW YOU LIVING YOUR LIFE TO ITS FULLEST.WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE THINGS,DONT JUST SAY ,"I WISH I WAS STILL THAT HAPPY,"OR I WISH I COULD STILL FIT INTO THEM PANTS OR DRESS."NO ,LET THAT IMAGE SINK DEEP DOWN INSIDE YOU. DONT LET THE GOOD THINGS GOD HAS DONE IN YOUR LIFE SLIP AWAY.TO PRODUCE IT ON THE OUTSIDE,YOU MUST FIRST PICTURE IT ON THE INSIDE...WE CAN DO ANYTHING WITH GODS HELP,IF YOU LET HIM HELP YA .GODS GOOD ASK HIM INTO YOUR LIFE TODAY.THE OTHER DAY I HEARD, THE OAKRIDGE BOYS SINGIN A SONG CALLED ,"PRECIOUS MEMORIES " A GOOD SONG WITH AWSOME WORDS,HAVE A BLESSED DAY,GOD LOVES YAS ,WE LOVE YAS ,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,RON

Cleo that was right on the money. I think that as christians we need to make sure our windows are clean. It is amazing how that changes the outlook. Praise the Lord. Wow what a blessing to read all these posts. God is so good, but how often do we take his goodness for granted? God Bless you my brothers in Christ!!!!!! Hope everyone has a blessed day.

WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE

I loved the praise song on youtube,GREAT STUFF, it really shows us the awesome love and power of THE LORD JESUS. It reminds me of one of my mama's favorite songs in our hymnal '' WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE'', the first line goes like this here,'' There is coming a day when no heartaches shall come , no more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eye, all is peace forever more on that happy golden shore, WHAT A DAY GLORIOUS DAY THAT WILL BE''. PRAISE JESUS, one day we to will see Him in all of His power and glory, and we will be as the praise song just said '' STANDING IN THE SON''.

AMEN.

What a day that will be! I pray that the one's I love will follow me to stand next to Jesus. The lion and the lamb will be there as well.

Prayers up today for those in need. Prayers to those that are lost will be found......

I thank God my sins have been forgiven.
Be blessed!

Posted by kycooner1 on 02-17-2010 03:33 PM:

Today is Ash Wednesday ,,the start of Lent and our upcoming Easter celebration. Jesus made the Ultimate sacrifice for us on good friday, and during Lent it's great for all his followers to make sacrifices in his name. I'm not talking about offering a Lamb as our forefathers did , but perhaps cutting back or giving up something during this time, donate some time to help out someone less fortunate,or making a extra donation to a charity ,you strongly beleive in.

God Bless

KEEP GODS WORD VISIBLE

TO BUILD OURSELVES UP SPIRITUALLY AND KEEP US FILLED WITH FAITH ,A GOOD THING TO DO WOULD BE DECORATING OUR HOMES WITH SCRIPTURE VERSES.ON THE BATHROOM MIRROR,OR WHERE WE GET DRESSED,PLACE SCRIPTURES SUCH AS "I CAN DO ANYTHING THROUGH CHRIST"OR "THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE".ON THE FRIG,REMIND YOURSELF,"GOD ALWAYS CAUSES ME TO TRIUMPH".AT THE BACK DOOR,PLACE THE TRUTH"GODS FAVOR IS SURROUNDING ME LIKE A SHIELD"OR"GOODNESS AND MERCY ARE FOLLOWING ME TODAY."PUT UP THINGS THAT BOOST YOU TO WANTA DO THINGS.IT MAKES YOU HAPPIER ,AND YOUR DAYS WILL BECOME BETTER.{DEUTERONOMY 6:6-8,9 THESE COMMANDMENTS THAT I GIVE YOU TODAY ARE TO BE UPON YOUR HEARTS.IMPRESS THEM ON YOUR CHILDREN,TALK ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU SIT AT HOME AND WHEN YOU WALKALONG THE ROAD,WHEN YOU LIE DOWN AND WHEN YOU GET UP...WRITE THEM ON THE DOORFRAMES OF YOUR HOUSES AND ON YOUR GATES...}GOD WANTS THE BEST FOR US ,LIVE FOR HIM, LOVE HIM,TELL OTHERS ABOUT HIM ,WHAT A DIFFERENCE YOU WILL MAKE IN YOUR LIFE...GOD LOVES YAS , WE LOVE YAS , HAVE A BLESSED DAY, YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,RON

Posted by BRAD E. ISAACS on 02-22-2010 06:03 PM:

IN NEED OF SOME INPUT, PLEASE......

IF WE ALL BELIEVE IN THE 1 AND ONLY JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD, SHOULDN'T WE BE ALLOWED TO COMMUNE REGARDLESS OF THE CHURCH WE HAPPEN TO BE ATTENDING? I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT I CANNOT RECIEVE COMMUNION IN A LOCAL LUTHERAN CHURCH BECAUSE I HAVE NOT COMPLETED 6 WEEKS OF FAITH BASED CLASSES. I AM BASHING ANY DENOMINATIONS WHATSOEVER, BUT I DO NEED SOME INPUT.

WHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT SAY THIS? IS IT SIMPLY A "REQUIREMENT OR RULE" WITHIN THE CHURCH?

IT SAYS " DO SO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME". THE BREAD RESEMBLES HIS BODY AND THE WINE HIS BLOOD WHICH WAS SHED FOR US. THIS INCLUDES ALL PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE AND LOVE HIM. I CANNOT DO SO, IN REMEMBRANCE OF HIM, IF I AM NOT ALLOWED TO COMMUNE WITH ANOTHER DENOMINATION WHO CLAIMS TO WORSHIP THE SAME ONE AND ONLY GOD! JESUS SAID TO THOSE WHO THIRST, "COME AND I WILL GIVE YOU DRINK."

I AM STUBBORN BY BIRTH, BUT I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO BE SCHOOLED IN A DENOMINATIONS BELIEFS IN ORDER TO COMMUNE WITH THEIR CONGREGATION. AFTERALL, IT HAS BEEN MADE CLEAR TO ME THAT THEY WORSHIP THE ONE AND ONLY GOD. WOULD JESUS CHRIST REFUSE ME WITH HIS SACRAMENT BECAUSE I HAVE NOT COMPLETED 6 WEEKS OF CLASSES? ABSOLUTELY NOT. HE FORGAVE MANY WHO WERE NOT WORTHY IN MANS EYES BUT JESUS SEEN THE INDIVIDUAL AS ONE OF HIS CHILDREN, NOT ONE OF A CERTAIN TRIBE OR CULTURE. I LOVE MY FAMILY AND LONG TO COMMUNE WITH THEM AT SUNDAY SERVICE, BUT THE CHURCH REFUSES TO SERVE ME THE SACRAMENT UNLESS I AM SCHOOLED IN THEIR BELIEFS.

LONG STORY SHORT........... I LOVE JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD ! I GAVE MY LIFE TO HIM AT AGE 18 AND IT WAS THE BEST THING I COULD HAVE EVER DONE! THIS WILL NOT CHANGE AS I DWELL HERE ON EARTH BECAUSE IT IS WHAT I BELIEVE IN AND LIVE FOR ! I AM REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THIS AND IT IS CAUSING PROBLEMS IN MY FAMILY LIFE BECAUSE I WILL NOT SUCCOMB TO THEIR REQUESTS. I HAVE PLEDGED MY LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST AND I FEEL I SHOULD BE FORGIVEN AND OFFERED THE SACRAMENT JUST AS EVERYONE ELSE AT THIS CHURCH DOES EACH AND EVERY SUNDAY. GOD I PRAY, PLEASE SHOW ME SOME DIRECTION ON HOW TO HANDLE THIS.

BROTHER IN CHRIST,

BRAD E. ISAACS

Jesus LOVES me this I know......

Here is a new version just for us who have white hair or no hair at all. For us over middle age (or even those almost there) and all you others, check out this newest version of Jesus Loves Me.

JESUS LOVES ME

Jesus loves me, this I know,
Though my hair is� white as snow
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.
(CHORUS)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME. YES, JESUS LOVES ME..
YES, JESUS LOVES ME, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way.
(CHORUS)

When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song..
Telling me in words so clear,
"Have no fear, for I am near."
(CHORUS)

When my work on earth is done,
And life's victories have been won.
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love.
(CHORUS)

I love Jesus, does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say,
That I love Him every day.
(CHORUS)

God Bless Us All!!!

Brad - Working in a law enforcement environment and spending 25 years in a mlitary environment I have come to understand "policy and procedure." I didn't always agree with those policies and procedures", but, I had to live with them. The different denominations of the church are the same way. They pretty much have their own policies and procedures. I believe (not absolutely positive) that it would have been the same in a Catholic Church if you were to want to take communion there. I would not let this come between family and friends. I think the bottom line on this is...if you are steadfast enough in your faith did this "act of communion" or the inability to take it cause your faith to waiver? I think not. I would not hold this Lutheran Church responsible for their wanting to adhere to their denominational policy and procedure. Just my opinion, Brother!!
