Bp169
I haven't got to use my groups in my address book because I sent my sermons blog to so many people yesterday. The process of things was something Lord Jesus just enlightened me on at prayer. But that was in bp168. This evening, I should be able to mail again. I just tried to mail the 6 groups again, but found instead of mailing them it said some addresses weren't recognized. I was blaming outnumbering my limit yesterday and it turned out some addresses weren't recognized. So I used addresses I already mailed. Now I’ll see if that does the trick…. No! UGH! It’s more trouble than before! That makes me think of divorce. Did you know it’s been said the church is divorcing more than the world is.? I’ll look that up. Divorce rates among Christian groups:
The slogan: "The family that prays together, stays together" is well known. There has been much anecdotal evidence that has led to "unsubstantiated claims that the divorce rate for Christians who attended church regularly, pray together or who meet other conditions is only 1 or 2 percent". 8 Emphasis ours]. Dr. Tom Ellis, chairman of the Southern Baptist Convention's Council on the Family said that for "...born-again Christian couples who marry...in the church after having received premarital counseling...and attend church regularly and pray daily together..." experience only 1 divorce out of nearly 39,000 marriages -- or 0.00256 percent. 9
A recent study by the Barna Research Group throws extreme doubt on these estimates. Barna released the results of their poll about divorce on 1999-DEC-21. 1 They had interviewed 3,854 adults from the 48 contiguous states. The margin of error is ±2 percentage points. IT makes me ponder prayer again. The survey found: bullet 11% of the adult population is currently divorced. Bullet 25% of adults have had at least one divorce during their lifetime. Bullet Divorce rates among conservative Christians were significantly higher than for other faith groups, and much higher than Atheists and Agnostics experience. After I was recently told prayer means you will not be getting into an ugly marriage, I thought of what I just said. Christians were significantly higher than for other faith groups, and much higher than Atheists and Agnostics experience. I was told all you have to do is pray for your marriage. So after I was told prayer takes care of it, I thought of all the people in church getting divorced. (Boohoo, I've been rejected by 181 women, lol.) Yes, the milk Mom got I'd gladly give to the church pantry. But it’s NOT MINE!!! You cannot give other people’s stuff away. I think 3 gallons is too much and some will get spoiled, but again, it’s not mine!!!! When you give other people’s stuff away, that is thievery. Granny was the world’s worst. When she saw I loved something in the fridge, she’d always offer some to people. They always had visitors. I learned to not say I liked something that way. And that's wrong. If I have something, I should share it. Only, it’s different when somebody is sharing your stuff for you. please do not ask me for something that belongs to somebody else. If you want it for the needy, you need to ask the person with it. But when another person has possession of something you want and I take it from them to give it to you, I’ll be thrown in jail. When you break the law, you go to jail. You do not get blessed for giving stuff to people that belongs to other people. Divorce happens after a couple, maybe just 1 spouse, thinks they're better off single. I remember when Mom divorced Dad. She couldn't get my little brother’s playpen in the car. We went to her parents. Also, I remember when her dad called her to say my little brother had killed himself 28 years later. The writings and imagery that have formed and fueled apocalyptic belief for over two millennia. Apocalyptic Literature in Judaism and Early Christianity. A summary of some key examples of Apocalypse literature during this period, and where the Apocalypse of John (Revelation) fits into this early history. Disaster, Catastrophe, Day of reckoning, Judgment Day, End of the world, Destruction. Apocalypse (Greek: Ἀποκάλυψις Apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil" or "revelation") is a term applied to the disclosure to certain privileged persons of something hidden from the majority of mankind. Today the term is often used to refer to Armageddon, also referred to as the end of the world, which may be a shortening of the phrase apokalupsis eschaton which literally means "revelation at the end of the æon, or age". In the Christian tradition, 'The Apocalypse' refers in particular to the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible. First Enoch This is an early Jewish apocalyptic text (about 250 BCE) which was written by an anonymous Jew who wrote under the name of Enoch. It borrowed images from Greek mythology which were to resonate through apocalyptic literature down to the Book of Revelation. These images included Satan, Hades, the fallen angels and the conflict of good and evil. That makes me think of betrayal, in a way. If you are giving stuff away that belongs to other people, you need to feel uncomfortable with yourself. With the world coming to an end like it is, disruption makes everything difficult. If prayer made divorce, obsolete there’d be much less divorce. Apocalyptic Literature would be much more applicable. Oh, really? Didn't stats say atheists and agnostics have much less divorce? That tells you the devil is more worried about union of the Christian. The Book of Daniel is set four centuries earlier during the Babylonian captivity and tells the story of Daniel. Nebuchadnezzar. Please pray for Haiti!!!! Tell all the prayer chains and your friends! Please pray for Haiti!!!! What irony! I was just watching New Orleans and Arizona play football. Halftime I finished my daily Bible reading. After talking about divorce and prayer not to get in a bad marriage and church outnumbering everybody, look at what I saw and took note of: 1 Kings 11:19 (New International Version) 19 Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage. [-] I started reading the Bible in 98 and I saw marrying so much in the Bible and on TV that it became all I wanted. Then after 181 women rejected me, it’s the very, very last thing I'd ever, ever want to do in my life! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! I felt such a shift in my desires and every last bit of that was an answered prayer. When I was talking about the milk sister gave Mom, I made it sound like I could do with it what I wanted. When I asked Mom, she said she started drinking a cup at night to help her sleep. I'd give it away if were mine. Yes, I can use it for me, but to give it away changed her mind. As I watched the game, it hit me there's a lesson behind this. Did you know there's a reason for everything? First of all, humiliated, I learned the lesson of giving people’s stuff away by accident. Then the person needing Mom’s milk is another thing. To get it from me is fine, but to get it from Mom, as I tried, well, that's another thing. Granny used to cook every day for people. And that's why it feels so good when I do. Maybe I brought up the milk from Mom for the same reason. Go to church with me. I cannot go to Sunday school because of the preplanned dinner. Good thing I know. I hate to have my plans changed, first is balcony. Service is beginning. I keep thinking of a better feeling than the church and I know not 1. I told Ernestine I had 3 gallons of milk. But really 2 given to my part of a gallon. So where do I put 1? I take it to the fridge for the food pantry tomorrow. Here I am. A life God changed. I came to the Holy Ghost. I want my life to praise the Lord. Jesus reigns. Let the people shout. We will sing and shout. Angels shout the redeemed have come to celebrate. Darkness trembles at God’s Name. I see a gray beard man and think of my uncle pushing my wheelchair to watch the traffic as he stood there and just cried. I do not remember either one. I was just told about it. It was before my aunt divorced him. 1990 he and I were making sometimes 2 thousand dollars a day, laying carpet. I'd make 80 on those days. Sixteen hours. Where’d the money go? The Sovereign God is good. Water baptism next week. 1 service 10:45a. Financial report and dinner 5 dollars later.

Pray with somebody. God Almighty tells Peggy to tell me to write a biography. I've tried that so many times. But I think of the lies and misleading, and ridicule, ridicule, ridicule, ridicule in school and cannot finish it. Wait! Jesus Christ told her that to show me where I need to change!! Now I see! It’s my weakness! I took 10 years of ridicule by EVERYBODY for good grades,, got promised a vehicle for making them, then on my sixteenth birthday at Golden Corral family said the promise was my dream!!! I can talk about it here. So why is a book so much different? I'm glad Peggy said that. Essential Goals. Have you written down goals? For worship? Choose to belong. Get in a party of 2 or more people in the Lord’s name. That's when Peggy tells me what the Sovereign God tells her. Make your goal your desire. I just finished my daily Bible reading regimen. It’s something I've done 11 yrs. Going on an 18th time read through completely. Show yourself freely to the Lord Almighty. Initiate. For growth, you have to do something you haven't done before.
Rom 8:29
Never stop becoming like Jesus. The Sovereign Lord doesn’t bring pain into your life. But teaches you through it. He taught me and gave me a taste change in my 181 rejections,, which were very hurtful, but now very hilarious. Pain was promised to us after what we did in the Garden of Eden. God Almighty uses trouble to teach us. To trust Him. because of the economy many have lost thousands of dollars. Trouble makes you surrender to Jesus Christ. The Sovereign Lord Almighty is more interested in what you are than what you do. You do not take your career to heaven. But your character. This is painful. Real life is about dealing with challenges. Of life. As how can you grow through this. What a coincidence! Peggy just told me the Sovereign Lord said to do something I have problems with doing,. Getting lied to is my biggest weakness! Mom just told me to change pants with cream corn, a small spot I could wipe off. Then something angering happened.
Mar 13:32-34
Jesus was tempted by the devil like us. But He remained without sin.
Mar 13 313:3-34
Teach me character,, Lord. When you go through something,, it’s ok to say you don't like this. Say, God, take it away.
It’s a chance to see if you became like Jesus. It’s easy to say you surrender. Keep your Spiritual journal on a pad of paper. write what you are dealing with and how God Almighty helped you deal with it. You'll see very, very incredible help and it'll be very, very valuable to you in time. please pray for the Haitian orphans. Pain helps you commit completely to God. keep tithing. Keep praying. Ask God to give you mercy. And^ grace. Get peace and strength. Keep a Spiritual journal. They're great when tough times hit. You'll be very, very gracious you have it. You’ll see what Jesus Christ has done in your life. You'll learn your character. 1 hundred to 150 thousand people were killed in Haiti. You'll learn more about you. remember the reward when you are in trouble.
2 cor 4:17
It’s more than feeling am. A life God. we’re living now and this is a very, very small portion. The Sovereign God uses temptation to teach us to obey.
Mt 4:1
The Spirit led Jesus Christ to the desert. But the devil tempted Him. Martin Luther says you cannot be in control of what birds fly over your head, but you can control what nest is built in your hair. Identify unGodly thoughts. Say get out of here, Satan. Honor God with every part of who you are. Only have a Godly diet. That's how you overcome temptation. Say you need this. Do not go down the path of destruction.
Ecc 4:10
Get in a Godly community. Get a Spiritual partner. Express yourself to somebody. Goals. Singles much better around a community. They're always going out. The Lord Almighty uses trespasses to teach us to be forgiving. The Sovereign Lord doesn’t tell them to do that.
Mt 27:39-forty
Think about Jesus’ many false accusations. There no comparison how much Jesus forgave.
Luke 23:34 (New International Version)

When bad things are happening to you,, ask Jesus to help you understand it better. Remember God has forgiven you. God Almighty’s goodness. Joseph had a dream and told it. his brothers. They threw him in a pit, claimed he was killed, he was taken by others, sold into slavery, kept true to the Living God,, Who kept advancing him, making him eventually second to the Pharaoh, because he had forgiven his brothers for what they'd done. This helps me see how my wrath was holding me back in the past. Unforgiveness thwarts your development. Some people would be arguing with a tree if they didn't have you to argue with. Look at Joseph, sharing a dream,, eventually sold into slavery, made a prisoner, tons of misery, but because of his nature Jesus Christ was always with him. If you do not hear the Sovereign God, unforgiveness is likely a problem of yours. Joseph had released things. He prophesied over a man. Kept getting promoted. Potiphar’s wife seducing him was denied. Over and over. Denied. She got a part of his jacket. Made a false accusation. Jail didn't get better. Joseph didn't dwell on it.
Gen fifty:20
Do not be bitter. Let it go. (My painful rejections must be released.) We go through trouble to learn how to be obedient to Jesus.

I reach I just told Ernestine I will not be making it. That was on the phone 1 hour ago. I hear her telling the class. I come in and say sorry to rain on your parade.

Pat agrees with that and Ernestine eventually catches on. Here I am. I get to later go see my newborn nephew and his long fingers like my long toes.

Abrahamic covenant is an agreement between two parties. There are two types of covenants: conditional and unconditional. A conditional or bilateral covenant is an agreement that is binding on both parties for its fulfillment. Both parties agree to fulfill certain conditions. If either party fails to meet their responsibilities, the covenant is broken and neither party has to fulfill the expectations of the covenant. An unconditional or unilateral covenant is an agreement between two parties, but only one of the two parties has to do something. Nothing is required of the other party.

Black's Law Dictionary
(Sixth Edition)
The supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power by which any independent state is governed; supreme political authority; the supreme will; paramount control of the constitution and frame of government and its administration; the self-sufficient source of political power, from which all specific political powers are derived; the international independence of a state, combined with the right and power of regulating its internal affairs without foreign dictation; also a political society, or state, which is sovereign and independent.
The power to do everything in a state without accountability, --to make laws, to execute and to apply them, to impose and collect taxes and levy contributions, to make war or peace, to form treaties of alliance or of commerce with foreign nations, and the like.
Sovereignty in government is that public authority which directs or orders what is to be done by each member associated in relation to the end of the association. It is the supreme power by which any citizen is governed and is the person or body of persons in the state to whom there is politically no superior. The necessary existence of the state and that right and power which necessarily follow is "sovereignty." By "sovereignty" in its largest sense is meant supreme, absolute, uncontrollable power, the absolute right to govern. The word which by itself comes nearest to being the definition of "sovereignty" is will or volition as applied to political affairs. Define effectual. Definitions of effectual on the Web:

Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]
2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

1. Psalm 91:1 Hebrew Shaddai
2. Psalm 91:2 Or He says
The Christian isn't bullet proof. Perspective means very, very much. All things are working for your good if you love the Sovereign Lord. The Sovereign God is always trying to show you something.
Ps 90:2
See things in eternity. We do not know what the Sovereign Lord us preparing us for. We later see it made us stronger. Sometimes we’re our worst enemy. I tell about calling my preacher because of what God Almighty said and he said God Almighty is preparing me for my job in heaven. We do not invest all time and energy in a single aspect when training a worker. We’re getting trained for our future job. This is temporal and nothing will last. This too shall pass. We need wisdom. Especially in talking to the lost. The lost do not understand God’s righteousness. The Sovereign Lord uses stuff to purge without making it happen. Sodom (Hebrew: סְדוֹם, Modern Sədom Tiberian Səḏôm, Arabic: سدوم Sadūm, Greek Σόδομα) and Gomorrah (Hebrew: עֲמוֹרָה, Modern ʿAmora Tiberian Ġəmôrāh/ʿĂmôrāh, Arabic: عمورة ʿAmūrah, Greek Γόμορρα) were two cities in the Bible which were believed to be destroyed by God.
For the sins of their inhabitants Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim were destroyed by "brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven."[Gen 19:24-25] In Christianity and Islam, their names have become synonymous with impenitent sin, and their fall with a proverbial manifestation of God's wrath. Cf.Jude 1:7, Qur'an(S15)Al-Hijr:72-73.
Sodom and Gomorrah have been used as metaphors for vice and sexual deviation. The story has therefore given rise to words in several languages, including the English word "sodomy," a term used today predominantly in law (derived from traditional Christian usage) to describe non-vaginal intercourse, as well as bestiality.
Haiti is teaching people to pull together.
John 17 Jesus Prays for All Believers
20"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them." [-]
More people in Haiti are pryg. They’ll have better housing. Nirys are getting opportunity to practice for coming jkobs. Haiti was already poor. God Almighty got our attention. Natural disasters. Acts of God. The John 1:15 (New International Version)
15John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' "
You are not bullet proof under God’s umbrella of protection, but you are under God’s umbrella of protection. An orphanage in Haiti only got a little damage like a school in Haiti, receiving God’s favor. Clinton and Bush cane together. Faith based organizations are the biggest help. Just like with -.11 and the tsunami. Faith based people always help the most. I tell of my bygone bishop saying the Salvation Army supplied the terrorists with lawyers, but they don't think so. Did we effect weather with our pollution.? God is behind it? everything from God is on an eternal timetable.
John 12:36
The answer is temporary. Wrong perspective causes problems. Dire straits. We don't even have the right questions. So we don't have the right answers Haiti needs prayer not questions. CTN just got their first chance airing on Haiti in sole radios. Eternal timetable. God is in control. If people are gods like the cults say, why can't they fix our mess? I blame the Garden and we agree we need a blame,. People poison people. 3 year olds die of cancer. God is still in control. I think of Pam and my broken heart then my gracious perspective. Not to mention the 181 women to reject me, who I'm very, very thankful for. It fixed my body… in a way. 1 Corinthians 13:12 (New International Version)
12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. [-]
Now is temporary. It’s a matter of perspective. America is soooo blessed compared to the rest of the world! We’re a bunch of spoiled brats! It’s a matter of perspective. Enjoy what you have. We’re blessed. We should be humbled by the blessedness we currently have! With a wrong perspective, things cannot restore. We have so much comfortable. God will use the church to restore people. we will lift people and help them out. Prayer in the smallgroup sees effects. Prayers are appreciated. Like when I got home and saw my pants were never touched! I think of my blog and people praying for the people sharing it to be blessed and my prayer the people praying for them to be blessed also even more.

Genesis 8:20
Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
Genesis 8:19-21
The fear of the Lord is seen in hating evil: pride, a high opinion of oneself, the evil way, and the false tongue, are unpleasing to me. Proverbs 8:13 I put my subscribers into groups to make the mailing process quicker. Please pray for Obama! Something we humans have always done is made the process quicker. Please pray for Obama! It took all morning. 2. Genesis 22:2
Then God Almighty said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."
Genesis 22:1-3 (in Context) Genesis 22
But now I have 6 groups of subscribers. Please pray for Obama! I'm so used to copying the groups off Word that I forget I have the groups in my address book. That's what happened the last time. My ministry began in 95. I think a lot of eternity because I stood on the threshold in my one on One encounter of Jesus in 93 it was an experience that made eternity very, very important to me. The devil was like a bed of ants stepped on when Jesus rose on the third day. Did Jesus yawn when He rose? I've always wondered about that. It was nobody but Him, so we’ll have to see beyond the Jordan. How often do you pray? A judge rewarded the ex husband with a fine to the ex wife. I wasn't listening and regretted it. I prayed to the Lord what was that? She later told the ex it wasn't worth 250 dollars like the judge said. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! He answered my prayer! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who destroyed the people, "It is enough! Now relax your hand!" And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 2 Samuel 24:16 >> New American Standard Bible How do we explain the trau8mna at Haiti? We dnt. 3. Genesis 22:13
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Genesis 22:12-14 (in Context) Genesis 22
You'd go crazy to try to understand everything God Almighty does. Please pray for Obama! It’s illogical to think you could at any point in time know what God Almighty is doing. Right when you think you know what He is doing something completely unexpected prevails. Please pray for Obama! I just got this email: Dear Reader:
Time is critical. Americans all over the country are fed up with the Obama administration. They don't want his radical healthcare program.
Citizens from states like Massachusetts, Nebraska, Florida and others are rising up as never before.
Even in liberal states such as Massachusetts citizens are showing their outrage over the Obama-Pelosi-Reid alliance and it's dismal record at creating jobs and inability to protect us against terrorism.
The Democrats know that the final vote has not taken place on the healthcare bill and that key senators and congressmen are starting to waver. Please pray for Obama!
The politicians in Washington have seen the latest Rasmussen poll with Obama's job approval down to 46 percent.
It is vital that we strike right now with a TV ad campaign in key states across the nation. States such as Massachusetts, Nebraska, Colorado, Florida and others must be targeted to expose the dangerous Obama-Pelosi-Reid healthcare plan and the trios out-of-control spending plans. Please pray for Obama!
4. Genesis 31:54
He offered a sacrifice there in the hill country and invited his relatives to a meal. After they had eaten, they spent the night there.
Genesis 31:53-55 (in Context) Genesis 31
If polling data and other indices of public opinion reflect the growing outrage at Obama, the liberals in Washington will think twice before they vote for more taxes, spending, and regulation.
5. Genesis 46:1
[ Jacob Goes to Egypt ] So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God Almighty of his father Isaac.
Genesis 46:1-3 (in Context) Genesis 46
The League of American Voters will have a new ad this weekend exposing Obama-Pelosi-Reid and their allies. Please pray for Obama!
The League, where I serve as chief strategist, urgently needs to spend $500,000 this weekend and beyond in states like Massachusetts. Please pray for Obama!
6. Exodus 3:18
"The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, 'The LORD, the God Almighty of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God Almighty.'
Exodus 3:17-19 (in Context) Exodus 3 (The verses, I added.)
You can help this effort by Going Here Now
I believe this ad will galvanize public opinion against Reid and Pelosi and Obama and offer real checks and balances in Washington.
Please donate in the next 24 hours so the ads can have an immediate effect on the national debate — Go Here Now.
7. Exodus 5:3
Then they said, "The God Almighty of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God Almighty, or he may strike us with plagues or with the sword."
Exodus 5:2-4 (in Context) Exodus 5
Dick Morris
Paid for by the League of American Voters. Please pray for Obama! Contributions to the League of American Voters are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Please pray for Obama! Contributions from individuals and corporations are permitted by law and welcome. I take up for Barack Obama because I know he knows things we people do not know. Please pray for Haiti. 100 thousand dead. Maybe that's what it took to stop the growth of the devil. It’s easier to get on the right path than the flesh will say. The flesh makes it look impossible. 8. Exodus 5:8
But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don't reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God Almighty.'
Exodus 5:7-9 (in Context) Exodus 5
Trying to get Dad and brother in church before their suicide was impossible. I knew better than being too expressive. My friend started church though because his mom wouldn't stop then the preacher spoke directly to his heart. My brother went, started dating a girl immediately, got dumped, and therefore quit the church. Then entered the path of destruction. Getting him to go to church before the rejection was a billion times more likely than afterward. The devil is coming between spouses the same way. Pride gets in the way of a lot. If you do not bend, God Almighty cannot have His way. God Almighty cannot make you to prosper like He desires if you are ornery. Mom’s staying with her newborn grandson tonight. 9. Exodus 5:17
Pharaoh said, "Lazy, that's what you are—lazy! That is why you keep saying, 'Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.'
Exodus 5:16-18 (in Context) Exodus 5
The dog will not go outside before bed. It’s because he isn't used to the setting, He, Montie, is like that. Mom is at my newborn nephew’s. Maybe that's why I stayed in bed and watched Leave It To Beaver. I got a principle out of it first thing. How strange. Wally heard Eddie’s gf laughing about him, calling him a creep. He told Eddie, who got mad and said he was never returning. When he did, he asked Beaver to help him make up. 10. Exodus 8:8
Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to the LORD."
He knew the girl was like that. Before the issue, Wally had used Delilah and Sampson to help Beaver understand something. You never hear of parables being used anymore on TV. Eddie showed how pride messes up friendships. 996 words ago pride was mentioned. It actually started out the paper. Then I stayed in bed to be ministered by it again. That's good. I'm proud and arrogant. My birth was in seventy-five and traumatic brain injury in 93. Both equal 12. 12 ~ Governmental Rule of "King AND Queen" (1 + 2 = 3), the Triangle - The Mystery, Governmental Perfection by Divine Authority, also the 11 + 1 = 12 (two witnesses unified in one Christ - the "other two on one side of the bank of the river and on the other side of the bank of the river in Daniel 12:5" ?), 12 tribes, 12 apostles.
The first book I wrote, started in 93, was about government! What irony! A smart boy becoming George Bush’s right hand man. To See A Brother’s Blood. 04 I learned my great-granddaddy was founder of Winder, Georgia, having owned hundreds Of ACRES. He was in with Jimmy Carter. A man's pride will be the cause of his fall, but he who has a gentle spirit will get honour. Proverbs 29:23 The more sin you shun, the wholier you'll be. Corruption is a weakener. Make sacrifices to be more holy. Think ahead. Do not dwell on your past. Fathom the goodness Lord Jesus has in store for you. My buddy came over and we played pool very, very much. He fussed how I was always recounting the past. Actually, in rehab, I spent years recounting what I remembered. Describing that to therapists to remember other things to remember other things to remember other things to remember other things. Without that, I wouldn't be remember anything about my past. Soon after rehab, my buddy said I still only talked about the past. I still have trouble thinking about my future. That reminds me of the psyche of a character I'm writing about. If you do not get over your grief, it'll mess you up. If you dwell on unhappiness, you're doing yourself more damage than anything. You have pain come your way to give you a new perspective to make Lord Jesus’ work possible. But by giving you this needed perspective trouble is missed and bonuses are gained. The biggest bonus you get is greater opportunity to bless Lord God Almighty. Everybody wants to go to heaven. Nobody wants to die. It’s nice to have a good reputation. I told John Cena he was my favorite wrestler. He acted surprised. He looked impressed. I just heard a long list of stars who visited a town, but John Cena received incomparable laud compared to them. It’s like pro football player Garrison Hearst. As a teen, in his apartment, he treated me like a star. Reverse in roles? Think about Chuck Norris. He met a karate trainer, who said he was a saint, literally. A very nice guy. Every time the trainer saw him anytime of the day he was doing the exercises the trainer showed him… sixteen hours a day. Chuck Norris was in a wheelchair. The speaker, speaking to my group, told what an angel he was. So did my cousin, who was in Air America with him. His army troop. Speaking of stars, Michelle Grizzle was in a movie with Whoopi Goldberg, and seated on my pool table, was amazed as she recounted how sweet Whoopi was. I think of other stars who do not get rave reviews for their personality too. I do not want to be classed with them. The world shuns the Christian. It’s worldwide. If you are seeking Jesus and desire your eternal inheritance, get ready to see the world’s true colors. I wanted to see a game last night and prayed to the Lord to see it. When I turned the TV on, I saw my team had just won the game. I wish I'd seen it. But at least my team won. Jesus chose not to answer the prayer as I wanted. It reminded me of the one in power. Unanswered prayers are blessings in the long run. The 181 women to turn me down are 181 nasty relationships I didn't get into. You can tell by the laughter of a person if they know what is being said. Some kids are too young to know some things. But when you see them laughing hard at something they shouldn't understand, you know they understand. Pain helps you see the other side of the equation. Then you see you are not missing out on so much afterall. If you think you are at complete loss, you think God Almighty is unfair and you are wholly cheated. Shun the very appearance of evil and praise the Lord nonstop. Every day and you`ll see blessings almost overwhelm you. you'll be blessed so much you get sick of the blessings. Mammon will not be like it used to be. I'm about to go to prayer. What a great thing. People are sleeping late 7 I'm going to get blessings. It’s a choice we have unless we have to work. Then I’ll come home and proofread my book some more. I've written hundreds of Spiritual Growth books I make available Give to missionaries and pray Jesus blesses every sharer. Go to Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse and in my blogs are 15 years of sermons And I've written twenty-one fictions. The opportunity was my prayer even in the third grd. I knew then writing was my calling. 1 page stories were hug tasks and felt like that's what I'd always do. Thoughts of a book were intimidating. Now books are all I do. in 2 months, a book is done. I see my skill grow greatly every book. Editors are expensive, so please pray an editor takes me on and shares the royalties with me. Or maybe I find a publisher with editors on hand. The Lord works things out in ways we could never imagine because the Lord has resources we could never imagine. ESPN said that game I missed yesterday was a great game, but I still missed it. That's ok. God Almighty is still in charge.
I reach prayer! People are slowly arriving!
Genesis 25:twenty-one Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. The LORD answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. [-] When I realized I'm talking to the King of kings and Lord of lords, I remembered this is my Buddy… Abba Father! I felt unbelievable joy in Who I have connections with. I spoke in tongues because I cannot express the amazing love I feel for the Lord. By all means I want my ministry to be used by all preachers all over the world, but I know only a tiny portion is accessing my blog. Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse. # Exodus 9:29 Moses replied, "When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands in prayer to the LORD. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth is the LORD's. [-] After praying in tongues awhile, the Lord helped me understand the agonizing pain I sometimes feel by saying a process has to happen to make me see things the way He wants me to see them. That's when I realized point C cannot be reached unless I go through point B.It took happenings to give me an all new perspective from what I used to have. So I became very glad in prayer today as I felt Jesus disclosing needed things. That was a blessing and a half! It gave me the view I needed for the understanding that'd make me what I need to be. I'm proud and arrogant, so the humility has to come to make me what is need. # 1 Samuel 2:1 [ Hannah's Prayer ] Then Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; in the LORD my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance. [-] Things would be so much easier if people didn't exist. People get beliefs and the Spirit and the flesh begin war in them and they're not less miserable unless they make you more miserable. # 2 Samuel 7:18 [ David's Prayer ] Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: "Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? [-] I have over 10 thousand junk mails because I do not delete them. It’s easier to get them reach 20 thousand then close the account before I start it up again. 2 Samuel 7:27
"O LORD Almighty, God Almighty of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, 'I will build a house for you.' So your servant has found courage to offer you this prayer.

The blogs I make are no good unless they're reaching souls and that's no good unless it’s followed through. Doers versus hearers. I read yesterday that John Wayne was converted, but was in a coma. And naysayers said that doesn’t count. But I kept thinking of the verse whosever confesseth the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior shall be saved. 13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Whoever has always stood out because it means everybody, everyone, all and sundry, one and all, each one, each person, and every person. That's you and me. I know my little brother was in the church very, very much as a child. I know Dad was too. Both suicides senseless. Both embroiled with the dark side. Both had moms huge church goers. So John Wayne, dad, and brother in heaven we won't know till we get there, if we get there. A majority of the world will be going to where the path of destruction goes. My great uncle, the rocket scientist, bio physicist, thermo nuclear, ok, I don't know them all, lives in a pod home in Florida. I finally had him. do you know what pod means? He didn't! I said path of destruction. That reminds me of where you can let lessons lead you. I was so mad after trusted loved ones lied to me that I started drinking and was in a wreck that led to a traumatic brain injury, decade of rehab, and countless surgeries…. I look back and I was in a hospital bed so many times I couldn't begin to country the occasions. All of it began when I was sixteen. Believing an untruth. It was an immature decision to test my addictive personally. But it began a cycle that is still punishing me. I don't have my license and at 34 years old I'm still living with my mom. Sure, 181 women having turned me down sent me into a depression that I finally pulled out of. Then I saw the Light. I realized the curse isn't a curse but a blessing. Too many opinions from the horse’s mouth have helped me reach my conclusion. Even comedians on TV say it as a joke, but if you look at it with a real perspective,, you see they're telling the truth. My POD uncle is a great guy and it’s hard to believe he’s kenned to me. you get a feel for his wisdom just by standing near him. And you can tell he goes through a lot, but you can tell he gleans wisdom from it like you're supposed to do. Whence seated,, I see it’s 4 seconds till church. Are you ready to praise the Lord!? Pastor Anthony is spotted 9:37.a. when God found me, my whole world changed. In the risen Son. He turned my darkness to light. Not ashamed of the gospel Lord. The galaxies declare the Savior’s worth. I'm getting ministered by the singing and I feel good this early in the morning. At the very, very beginning of the church. I love who and where I am. That's got to be the Lord Almighty’s fault. Blessings and honor. Glory, and, power., magnificence, splendor, beauty, wonder, grandeur, brilliance be to our God forever and ever. God is great. first time visitors, fill out a membership card and welcome. Fuel of Vision gets a huge round of applaud. We’re going over the Covenant on Wednesdays—7p. Superbowl. Ironmen. Sign up. It'll be February 7. give to Church of God world missions and a hundred percent of the offering makes it to Haiti. Pray for Haiti. Gerald and Peggy have a seat by me.

MEDITATE
MED'ITATE, v.i. L. meditor.
1. To dwell on any thing in thought; to contemplate; to study; to turn or revolve any subject in the mind; appropriately but not exclusively used of pious contemplation, or a consideration of the great truths of religion.
His delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Ps.1.
2. To intend; to have in contemplation.
I meditate to pass the remainder of life in a state of undisturbed repose.
MED'ITATE, v.t. To plan by revolving in the mind; to contrive; to intend.
Some affirmed that I meditated a war.
1. To think on; to revolve in the mind.
Blessed is the man that doth meditate good things.
Definition from Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828.
Previous word: medicine. Next word: meditation.
Get in alignment with Jesus. you'll be prosperous.
Joshua 1:8
Joshua 1:8
8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that YOU may be careful to do everything written in it. Then YOU will be prosperous and successful.
Notice in the above passage, Yahweh is speaking to Joshua, and He says, not to let the Book of the Law depart from the mouth. How is Joshua commanded to keep the admonition? It is by meditating, hagah- speaking out loud, the words of the Book of the Law.
OUT LOUD
Hagah also means to utter- speak, to mutter, to roar or groan, the point of hagah is that it is out loud, not silent internal pondering.
The word Hagah shows up the most in the book of Psalms, which was Israel's song book. Throughout the Psalms, which were sung aloud, there is an emphasis on the righteous person's continual meditation!
Psalms 1:2
But his delight is in the law of YHVH, and on his law he meditates (hagah) day and night.
It is important to understand that because every home did not contain the scriptures, a torah scroll being extremely expensive, that the people would learn the scriptures through verbal repetition during the gatherings at the temple. Then the repetition of scripture became the hagah, meditation.
The true biblical concept of meditation may be observed today in many synagogues, and at the Western Wall in Jerusalem; as the scriptures are meditated upon or hagah, spoken out loud!
HIS WORKS
There are many ways to hagah; we can meditate on the wonderful mighty majestic works of our Creator!
Psalms 143:5
I remember the days of long ago; I meditate (hagah) on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
Psalms 77:12
I will meditate (hagah) on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds.
Hagah is the vocal verbalization of God's Word and his mighty wonders. It is the pouring out of our hearts, through our mouth, the praise and adoration of our great God!
Give, feed the church. Have purity. Prayer. Worthy is the Lord Almighty Who was slain. Sing a new song to Him who sits on heaven’s mercy seat. to the coming King. Jesus’ name is power,, breath,, and living water. Yawn, I read all day yesterday and last night. 8:fifty-nine Pastor Anthony is spotted. Worship God with your lips. Magnify God. get engaged in God. when praises go up, blessings come down. yokes are broken. God will give you fulfillment. Fellowship. Touch. Fresh anointing. I think of what God told me last night. The lie told to me by loved ones was blamed on the market. That makes it easy to do what I need to do though nobody agrees with it., I can say my destiny is the blame. It’s amazing what Sunday school is about. I8 never knew it before! I remember visiting my old apartment and seeing a woman excited that I had moved back. I disappointed her by saying I'm just cleaning the carpet to never return. She frowned. I said you should've taken the opportunity when you had it. these thoughts are miraculously before the service and Sunday school. If you don't believe it, you don't believe it. So? I take note of my thoughts because it’s fun to see if they're repeated. Somebody’s body, said Pastor Anthony, was just healed. I'm excited about that. maybe me. somebody,, says he,, just got a creative idea for their financial trouble. Resist the devil and he will flee. Do not walk in defeat. Lol, I just remember writing 1,845 words ago, ‘After loved ones lied to me, my extreme bitterness meant everybody quit picking on me.’ That was written yesterday. God has placed us in a place of dominion. We adore God. I just remembered when Gerry’s daughter learned I was planning on visiting Abundant Life ministries, she said her mom goes there and it has a hip pastor and it does. it’s nice 2bg back to the 8:30 service. God is good all the time. Set your goal. The Chinas preacher,, very, very educated man, is coming. Hung Yang. He's been arrested 2 times. Cannot go back to China 5 years. Some of our family is back. Worship is an expression of your love to God. love and grow together. You have to deal with people. they're the biggest problem. If there were no people,, hmmm. I think of how I wouldn't be have been rejected by 181 women if that were. Then again, it’s happened so many times I've begun looking it. but I also got burned out with it. dis⋅ci⋅ple

Still, the administration's new budget to be released Monday says deficits over the next decade will average 4.5 percent of the size of the economy, a level which economists say is dangerously high if not addressed, said the congressional official. The official was not authorized to discuss the budget before its public release.

of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: 20 teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

We have prayer. GO, send, welcome, share the Gospel, the good news. Before Sunday School, I go to the bathroom and meet Frankie. He liked the service and says he’ll be back for a second visit. I tell him John Wayne’s lawyer was Frank Belcher and we’re on Belcher road. I have a seat in the only seat. It’s by Marlo. She says I have to behave. I say I always behave. Les jokes it mighty be bad, but at least I'm behaving. We laugh. I have a mint in my mouth. I yawn. I was reading all day and night yesterday. Marlo gets onto me because I don't cover my mouth when I yawn. Some people know more about stars than they do about the Bible characters. Pastor Anthony always impresses me with his vast knowledge for the Bible characters. We celebrate to see people get what they deserve. We owe a debt to society. A man got the chair for many murders. Before it cane time,, he got saved and agreed he deserves the chair. He bravely took it and bravely died. See it on a Spiritual realm. Adam and Eve had paradise. Just don't eat the fruit of knowledge. But they did. Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. We’re bad. Just like we say they got what they deserved. How about us? God delivers, but we still have to deal with consequences.

Ernestine was born to an unChristian family. Made up her mind to change. If we hate our brother we’re as good as a murderer. We need to pray. it’s easy to blame people. we like to blame Adam and Eve. God is saying it’s time I owe up to what you did.
Ezekiel 18:1-4 (New International Version)
Ezekiel 18
The Soul Who Sins Will Die
1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel:
" 'The fathers eat sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on edge'?
3 "As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. 4 For every living soul belongs to me, the father as well as the son—both alike belong to me. The soul who sins is the one who will die.
we cannot quit that today. We cannot blame our past.
Ezekiel 18:15-18 (New International Version)
15 "He does not eat at the mountain shrines
or look to the idols of the house of Israel.
He does not defile his neighbor's wife.
16 He does not oppress anyone
or require a pledge for a loan.
He does not commit robbery
but gives his food to the hungry
and provides clothing for the naked.
17 He withholds his hand from sin [a]
and takes no usury or excessive interest.
He keeps my laws and follows my decrees.
He will not die for his father's sin; he will surely live. 18 But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people.
God is very plain here. Story of Achan. Joshua 7 (The Message)
Joshua 7
Achan
1 Then the People of Israel violated the holy curse. Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah of the tribe of Judah, took some of the cursed things. God became angry with the People of Israel. 2 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai (The Ruin), which is near Beth Aven just east of Bethel. He instructed them, "Go up and spy out the land." The men went up and spied out Ai.
3 They returned to Joshua and reported, "Don't bother sending a lot of people—two or three thousand men are enough to defeat Ai. Don't wear out the whole army; there aren't that many people there."
4-5 So three thousand men went up—and then fled in defeat before the men of Ai! The men of Ai killed thirty-six—chased them from the city gate as far as The Quarries, killing them at the descent. The heart of the people sank, all spirit knocked out of them.
6 Joshua ripped his clothes and fell on his face to the ground before the Chest of God, he and the leaders throwing dirt on their heads, prostrate until evening.
7-9 Joshua said, "Oh, oh, oh...Master, God. Why did you insist on bringing this people across the Jordan? To make us victims of the Amorites? To wipe us out? Why didn't we just settle down on the east side of the Jordan? Oh, Master, what can I say after this, after Israel has been run off by its enemies? When the Canaanites and all the others living here get wind of this, they'll gang up on us and make short work of us—and then how will you keep up your reputation?"
10-12 God said to Joshua, "Get up. Why are you groveling? Israel has sinned: They've broken the covenant I commanded them; they've taken forbidden plunder—stolen and then covered up the theft, squirreling it away with their own stuff. The People of Israel can no longer look their enemies in the eye—they themselves are plunder. I can't continue with you if you don't rid yourselves of the cursed things.
13 "So get started. Purify the people. Tell them: Get ready for tomorrow by purifying yourselves. For this is what God, the God of Israel, says: There are cursed things in the camp. You won't be able to face your enemies until you have gotten rid of these cursed things.
14-15 "First thing in the morning you will be called up by tribes. The tribe God names will come up clan by clan; the clan God names will come up family by family; and the family God names will come up man by man. The person found with the cursed things will be burned, he and everything he has, because he broke God's covenant and did this despicable thing in Israel."
16-18 Joshua was up at the crack of dawn and called Israel up tribe by tribe. The tribe of Judah was singled out. Then he called up the clans and singled out the Zerahites. He called up the Zerahite families and singled out the Zabdi family. He called up the family members one by one and singled out Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah of the tribe of Judah.
19 Joshua spoke to Achan, "My son, give glory to God, the God of Israel. Make your confession to him. Tell me what you did. Don't keep back anything from me."
20-21 Achan answered Joshua, "It's true. I sinned against God, the God of Israel. This is how I did it. In the plunder I spotted a beautiful Shinar robe, two hundred shekels of silver, and a fifty-shekel bar of gold, and I coveted and took them. They are buried in my tent with the silver at the bottom."
22-23 Joshua sent off messengers. They ran to the tent. And there it was, buried in the tent with the silver at the bottom. They took the stuff from the tent and brought it to Joshua and to all the People of Israel and spread it out before God.
24 Joshua took Achan son of Zerah, took the silver, the robe, the gold bar, his sons and daughters, his ox, donkey, sheep, and tent—everything connected with him. All Israel was there. They led them off to the Valley of Achor (Trouble Valley).
25-26 Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? God will now trouble you. Today!" And all Israel stoned him—burned him with fire and stoned him with stones. They piled a huge pile of stones over him. It's still there. Only then did God turn from his hot anger. That's how the place came to be called Trouble Valley right up to the present time.
22-23 Joshua sent off messengers. They ran to the tent. And there it was, buried in the tent with the silver at the bottom. They took the stuff from the tent and brought it to Joshua and to all the People of Israel and spread it out before God.
God is saying it doesn’t hold anymore. God is specific. The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old Testament
The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20. They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt:
"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'
SIX: 'You shall not murder.'
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
The 10 Commandments - Christ's Summation in the New Testament
About 1,400 years later, the 10 Commandments were summed up in the New Testament at Matthew 22, when Jesus was confronted by the religious "experts" of the day:
We say we’d never steal. Marlo finds the place in my book. Ezekiel isn't easy for me to find. I've been a huge church goer fifteen yrs, surprise! surprise!
Matthew 22:19-23 (New International Version)
19Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, 20and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
21"Caesar's," they replied.
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
22When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
Marriage at the Resurrection
23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
This is before Jesus. there was a store 1x. the dad worked there often like the aged bag boys. He shortchanged everybody! 5 cents EVERY TIME! Then his son, the owner, got addicted to crack. Lost the store, home,, marriage,, everything. Did the dad cause it? people taking different route from their sinning parents are admirable. You make the choice. Depression in your family you can decide to break the generational curse. I think of Dad and brother’s suicide. But I also think of their drug use. Alcohol too. In Jamaica, a boy learned his parents were in jail. Children have no power over their parents. You are responsible for you.
21"Caesar's," they replied.
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
If your family has a history of heart disease, you can have a healthy diet. Window of opportunity. Open for next generation. The enemy clogs your eyes and ears. But you can stop. I was always told I have an addictive personality. Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! So when I started, I was already programmed I'd get addicted. There's a chance I'd tried and let it alone had I not been. I think my brother killed himself because he’d been always told how addictive he was. We have to be extremely careful what we say. There was a boy in a youth group. Every time the church did something,, he was there. He took part in its needs. He was always there. He was to be in the cast for the revival. But he wore a disputable rock shirt. Somebody told him he wasn't welcome with that shirt on. He went home. Didn't go back. He got on the path of destruction. today he leads a life of crime. Stolen credit cards, drugs, porn, profanity, violence, the works. Judging and putting people down loses the people. when you point at somebody,, 4 fingers are pointing back at you. God is always saying beyond mistakes, you can come back no matter what happened to you.
When I reach evening smallgroup and they see I'm in shorts, they're amazed. I tell how very, very cold nature I was as a teen then my traumatic brain injury led to an answered prayer. Also, I'm no longer shy. Another answered prayer. It’s 18:0.3 and I'm testifying about the loss of something I severely hated as a teen. Mom and Dad’s dad were very, very cold nature too. I guess Mom still is. I know it. I remember how leaving Georgia climate to Florida climate then Ecuador climate had me very, very shocked. Being in the midst of so much poverty was shocking. 5 people are in here. I see a came and remember my came days. I threw every came put in my hand in a coma. Where's Pastor Ritchie? They send me to knock on his door. I do and nobody answers. The Holy Spirit takes over the service sometimes and people get touched and it’s very, very great. And we need that. the Holy Spirit coming down. the Holy Spirit blessing your life. what a wonderful feel. Young people go to the altar and that's a great sight. God is praying out the Holy Spirit. In the last days God is praying out the Holy Spirit. Speaker is here in the Spirit. We’re reading the Word. God is ministering us and I'm feeling like things are happening for a reason. God had something better to feed us with. Where 2 or 3 gather in Jesus’ name,, there He is also. God has shown me His wonderful kindness. We’re talking about the Bible and I'm personally wondering why we don't do this more often. Think back. Be still. Be quiet. We feel the Lord and I keep wondering why we don't do this more. Look at the past. See where you are closer to the Lord. God never fails us. Hebrews 13:5-6 (New International Version)
5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."[a] 6So we say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?"[b]
Matthew 24
Signs of the End of the Age
1Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2"Do you see all these things?" he asked. "I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."
3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"
4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[a]' and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15"So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,'[b] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. 18Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. 22If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false gods and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time.
26"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29"Immediately after the distress of those days
" 'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'[c]
30"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[d]is near, right at the door. 34I tell you the truth, this generation[e] will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
The Day and Hour Unknown
36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,' 49and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
God keeps saying be ye ready. "be" is a very common word, and was not included in your search.

ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of his [a] holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
Sirion [b] like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD strikes
with flashes of lightning.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks [c]
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
10 The LORD sits [d] enthroned over the flood;
the LORD is enthroned as King forever.
11 The LORD gives strength to his people;
the LORD blesses his people with peace.
Giving. God the praise He deserves is impossible. Meshack, Shadrack, and Abednego showed us the faith we should have. Hold to Jesus or suffer hell on earth. There's a light on the end of the tunnel. Except when I had a one on One encounter of God, I saw vast darkness. That's because my eyes couldn't comprehend God’s righteousness. 1 Peter 4:12 (New International Version)
Suffering for Being a Christian
12Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. Meshack, Shadrack, and Abednego refused to bow to a god. make up your mind. Have zeal in you for God. Job lost everything. He couldn't find God anywhere he looked. Job said, “Though God slay me, yet will I trust Him.” we come to God’s temple to worship Him. others can see the sanctity and truth of God’s people. God’s love is so deep nobody can preach it the same way. God’s holiness is powerful. If you are away from God,, you are without hope of eternity. Do not say you are a sinner saved by grace. Hebrews 10:26-29 (New International Version)
26If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Confession
Daniel's Prayer, from Daniel 9
by Robert C. Stone
In 1872, Dwight L. Moody attended an early morning meeting in a hay mow (the place they store hay) in Ireland. At the meeting he heard a man quietly say,
"The world has yet to see what God can do with, and for, and through, and in, the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to God's will."
Years later, Moody was seated high up in Charles Spurgeon's tabernacle in London, and Spurgeon used those same words in his message. Moody bowed his head and prayed, "By the power of the Holy Spirit, I will be that man." God honored Moody with a ministry that has touched lives even to this day. In spite of his many human frailties, one thing marked Moody, according to this biography. He would very readily confess his shortcomings and would often make public apology or private confession when he reviewed the impact of his negative behavior.
This quality of humble confession has marked many people whom God has used, before and since Moody—especially those who have been used of God in prayer! Confession ought to be an important part of our lives as followers of Jesus. The New Testament word for confession means literally, "to say the same things." It is agreeing with God's evaluation; admitting to what He already thinks concerning our sin or the truth. Confession, however, is a practice we fail to exercise as often as we should. It is too easy to take sin in stride; to shrug it off with a quick reminder of God's forgiveness, to say in essence, "Oh Lord, I messed up. Thanks for your forgiveness." The word confession, however, means to admit fully to our guilt.
One of the reasons we don't confess our sins completely to God, is because a tremendous amount of pain is involved in true confession. It's painful to confess when we recognize our responsibility to change that which we have told God we're doing. When we come to Him and say, "Lord, I have sinned...," implicit in the confession is that we won't try to hang onto that sin anymore.
Certainly it is not God's intention that we writhe under confession, nor remain guilty. Sincere confession of our sins, however, involves an admission of how God feels about our sin, followed by a separation from it.
One of the most striking illustrations of a confessional person is Daniel himself. In light of his seeming exemplary behavior, it is shocking to see this quality in him. On the surface, nothing in the book to indicates he was guilty of any misbehavior, yet Daniel openly confessed sin.
Fortunately for us, Daniel 9 gives us his extended prayer of confession. This prayer will give us deeper insights into Daniel's heart, as well as encourage us in this very practical area of our own lives. God has used my study of this passage on several occasions to bring about some badly needed correction in my life. I'm encouraged by the impact I've experienced, thanks to Daniel's example. Therefore, I believe the prayer he prays in Daniel 9 is worthy of study because of who prayed it, how he prayed it, and the answers he received.
David repented of his secret sins. If you repent, you are forgiven. Avoid sin. You are in the world not of the world. Touch not the unclean. David
Was sincere in prayer, visibly after God’s heart. Matthew 7:7 (New International Version)
Ask, Seek, Knock
7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Avoid sin or get circumstances. Pray like Daniel. are you free indeed? Jesus is calling today. Go to the cross. Have your sins washed away. Exchanging riches of Jesus’ grace. We cannot see that right now. We see just through the glass darkly. We hyv2hv a change before we see God. by grace you are saved through faith. We belong to the family of God. people miss the church after they leave it. pray for those members. They want to return. God saved you for a purpose. Cows where a bell, so you'll know where they are. Christians do not need to have a bell to know where they are. Know what you are talking about. The same work can be done in different ways. Touch people your way. the lady’s accusers left. Jesus asked where they are. She said they left. He said they don't accuse you and neither do I. sin no more. There'll always be critics. Jesus was railed for healing on the Sabbath.

If you are more patient, Lord Jesus is able to do more with you. The devil attacking marriage is an example. The more intolerable spouses are, the more divorce there'll be. We’re getting used to convenience. Remote control, climate control, and surround sound. The comfort is much vaster. We no longer use out houses. Ice box. Lantern and sometimes we have fire places, but do not always use them for need. DVDs. Satellites. Electricity. We’re making ourselves more and more spoiled. Divorce comes because fewer people are getting their way. I'm gracious for the 181 rejections I've had because of the paradigm shift those rejections have given me. The sermon on not being excellent minded hit home because I use my 181 rejections as a reason to quit asking anybody out.

But a lot of people are afraid of being “uncool.” My gf unserious broke up with me because she found out I gave the quarterback’s gf a ride home from a party. Big deal.

You cannot hustle a hustler. In my pool hustling days, I'd make the opponent think he was better by keeping the game near and losing to him. He'd put a dollar in to play another game to match the pot every time he won. You have that liberty as the winner; not adding. The pot grows and grows then you win because you are better. When I had a doctor making out like if I do not let him operate on me RIGHT NOW, I’ll die. Ooh, scary. But he also said if he operates on me, my limp and speech and sight will be fixed. I knew you cannot make a bruise(s) go away like that. So that told me the rest of what he said was a lie. I tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried to get out of his operating on me. No way, I was told. You'll die. My point wasn't proven till the next doctor found he left the shunt 1 quarter inch from where it belonged. If I hadn't hustled so many people on the pool table like I had, I wouldn't have picked up on the hustling like I did. It was complete humiliation, but it gave me a lesson to share. Now I'm blessed when I share it. A rehab manager put me in a college I didn't want to attend. I wanted UGA. But she only had bad to say. That put my antennae. I want to go to UGA. No, she said, they’ll pick on you. Ridicule you. I knew the college students are a lot more burdened down by studies to pick like that. Why not try? She kept saying bad stuff. Then the college I attended that I DID not want to attend put me in 4 overwhelming classes and lied about inability to get permission to withdraw from any of the classes. Crushing my head against a cement wall proved how stupid I am. What hurt the most was the people lying to me called themselves a Christian college. It’s a weakness. Getting lied to is something I cannot tolerate. But at least I know that. Now I know better than trusting humans. I just looked up the pro athlete whose apartment I was leaving the night of my traumatic brain injury and saw he's made 30 touchdowns. I'm so happy for him! He is the nicest guy I ever met!! Sometimes you have to know when to deny yourself. Always, yes, but times are especially important. Like in college, we had wrestling matches in the dorm. I very badly wanted to show them what growing up with the Georgia welter-weight in kickboxing and wrestling little brother will do for you. But the shunt in my head wouldn't be let me. I had seen some harsh movements and hitting the floor hard. But the moves told me how very inexperienced they were. Little did I know years later I will be in a smallgroup with an Olympic wrestler, bronze medalist. Papa always said John Wayne was his “hero” because that's what he had always said as a boy. He saw EVERY western. I read John Wayne’s voice was a big reason he had made it so big because when the movies started sound. New to film and that made John Wayne a great pick for the way his voice sounded. Then the stardom made people love him and go to the movie he was in because he was in it. That's why the flesh wants to blind you to get you on a cycle to lead you to destruction to lead you to obliteration to lead you to annihilation to lead you to ruin. In the process, the devil will have people joining you. But if you always stay near the Lord, it won't happen that way. I was in a Missions Minded prayer group maybe a year. We prayed for missionaries as the Holy Spirit gave us voice not necessarily in tongues. Sometimes that's what came out. But as others prayed, God Almighty would put on your heart what you would pray. it helped the group in their praying. It also helped your praying for the missionaries when you were alone. But I must've prayed something in a special way that led to my Perspectives missionary class I later took like in years. The more you learn about missions, the more you see the need in missions. The more you support missions, the more you are blessed. If you feel greater zeal to support the missionaries, you will further support the missionaries. That's why it’s good to narrate greater detail about missionaries. But the most moving impact I ever had was when I went to Ecuador as a missionary, and did everything a missionary would do, and was a missionary. We’re in a Biblical march toward Apocalypse. The flesh wants to come between you and God Almighty. The thing that got the dinosaurs could be what gets us and it could happen anytime. He Way to Happiness God Almighty blesses those people who refuse evil advice and won't follow sinners or join in sneering at God Almighty. Instead, the Law of the LORD makes them happy, and they think about it day and night. They are like trees growing beside a stream, trees that produce fruit in season and always have leaves. Those people succeed in everything they do. That isn't true of those who are evil, because they are like straw blown by the wind. Sinners won't have an excuse on the day of judgment, and they won't have a place with the people of God Almighty. The LORD protects everyone who follows him, but the wicked follow a road that leads to ruin. This is a paragraph in the fiction I'm proofreading. Bring the pieces together, so you can see the whole. Create a new discipline management system. Begin from a new perspective. Instead of "the punishment fits the crime," an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When you see trouble coming, taking care of it right away is wise and not lazy. That's what’s so sad about the market. The looming threat of nuclear war. We have the technology to explode the entire earth. If you are not getting your Spiritual needs fulfilled, you'll be on a trek, seeking fulfillment. An unfulfilled Spirit is an empowered flesh is a hand full of trouble. Fill your day with the Gospel through music, reading the Bible, praying, fasting, self-denial, and etc. Talk about the goodness of Jesus with others. You'll feel Jesus come near when you do that. With a well fed Spirit, you'll get gratuitous warnings about who and what to avoid. I do the numbers like this. I feel the Spirit then I look at the numbers of what I feel. Caution-avoid-deny lev for 3 then 1 for a and 4 for d lev1:4…. Let's see what it says: Leviticus 1:4 (New International Version) 4 He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. [-] That speaks particularly to me about the things to avoid to be better used by Jesus. I do not want to go where the Lord doesn’t want me. To sacrifice is to give up, and that tells me to go a different way than I want to go. We shall all die. But we’ll be changed in the twinkling of an eye. I have to forgo the way I want to go. When the flesh is luring me, I have to forfeit the invitation and let go of the earth. That's why it’s wise to not drive your stakes deeply in the earth. If you are obstructed, you cannot surrender to Jesus. When you see the fig tree bloom, you know summer is near. The details on the news shows the end is in reaching distance. I am the Lord; that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to pictured images. Isaiah 42:8 When you are trying to lose an addiction, you have to get a new surrounding. To feel the Lord more, be more recognizant of your surroundings. Is it where Jesus would be? I read John Wayne was having marriage trouble 34 years old. Lol, that's how old I am. It made me regard marriage and as usual I regard the 181 women who have rejected me and clinically turned me off. Then I read his career was the biggest factor he had marriage trouble. That helped me see why Jesus is giving. My bachelorism. It’s given my ministry time and my writing, which is always progressing. Media wants to make marriage seem called for. I tried dating and found that impossible and with that came a perspective change and a realism the more time I spend with Jesus, the better off I am. John Wayne Born: May 26, 1907 During his marriage to Josephine Saenz from 1933 to 1945, the couple had four children. I got that on the Web. After I first read it, I didn't write it down. John Wayne married Josephine 1st. Marriage to Josephine Saenz from 1933 to 1945. So 34 years old was 1941. He helped me decide closer closeness to Jesus is best. By being proud and arrogant the 181 women to reject means they left an impact. So bad in fact that I went to the doctor because of the effects. But as I see the effect and my greater time with Jesus, the eternal investments come to mind. The eternal investments were a very big deal in my Private/Christian elementary school even though we were very young. It stood out the most to me. As a teen, my very, very favorite show was Family Ties because of Alex P. Keaten, who was very, very big on investments. Now on the Spiritual realm, I'm seeing my heart lean more to my eternal investments. When Mom was filing for bankruptcy at the People’s Bank long ago, I planted seeds in the banker’s office. It was a card with a Commandment of the Ten Commandments. After we just had got in the car, there she was, handing Mom the card. Mom apologized and said I had a brain injury. Whatever. I still made an eternal investment. They last forever just like in a hundred yrs. forever is nonstop. My cousin was having problems breathing and when she got to the hospital, on the breathing machine, she stopped breathing. I just learned she had a heart attack. Please pray for her family. Her son is in jail and doesn’t know it yet. (Like my brother in jail when Granny died.) Your prayers get louder when you have the concern on your eternity. I saw a neighborhood on TV and thought of my town. Papa was an electrician/plumbing contractor, uncle a floor floorcovering technician, and my partner and I had a lawn service. I worked for all of them. That means when I go through the neighborhood, I always see a home I worked at. That's part of what made it so hard to leave the town. Similar, leaving the earth shouldn't be mad difficult compared to the investments you made in the earth and the investments you made in eternity. Do not be surprised to hear a politician talking politics. Also, when a politician is speaking, expect to hear politics. When they want to sound noble, expect them to say noble things. Seeing the poverty in Ecuador was very influential on me. I didn't laugh a very long time after we got back. The mission never left my mind. I guess it eventually did. But I don't know when. I always saw Granny giving. To the poor and it came across odd till I tried it myself. Then I saw what a drug it is. Don't get me wrong. I'd already seen that in the past. Like in Boy Scouts when we did good to people. But I'd never seen the poverty I saw there. It was impacting. Did the chemical imbalance I feel from the almost 2 hundred rejections have an addition to it, lol? Wait, getting turned off gave me a needed perspective. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds. As I write, the window man is talking to Mom. I brought my Bible in the den and set it on the couch for him to likely see it. plus he saw my bringing it. I'm into planting seeds because I care for people and I know what a huge deal eternity is. 30 years of experience gave Papa lots of insight. It’s too bad he's no longer around. His son was around it from a very, very young age. He was the 1 to tell me you can move up to a 125 amp for the church hating and lighting over load. Because of the trouble giving. Giving. The church a freezer became a hassle. I did my best to give it to vets connect. But that too is having complications. It’s stranger when you have something perfectly good and want to be a blessing to somebody, but still find holdbacks. Wait, that's perfectly logical. We’re in the world not of the world. That comes in handy to remember. After you get used to Jesus’ love, you'll probably get spoiled by it. But also you'll see the devil better. The flesh uses tactics to get you in a gullible spot. Then it has the battle won. Please pray for Mom’s office. She's about to move to a new place for employment. West Star Mortgage. Please pray they thrive. The window seller just left. Without pressuring he said he had a special plan. It was pressuring. But he said it wasn't. So who is to decide? What is different? I asked a man at Wal-mart is my voice different. He asked what is different. As the salesman was here, the oven was opened and as usual the fire alarm went off. My great, wonderful uncle just installed it. please pray my books are turned into movies with no regret. Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse hundreds of thousands of words of sermons in MY BLOGS. PLEASE PRAY EVERY PERSON WHO PASSES MY SERMONS around IS VERY, VERY GREATLY BLESSED! Everybody has a misunderstanding. If you are sinless, you have nothing to worry about.
shamed, mortified, disgraced, shown, up, embarrassed, dishonored I didn't keep my side of the deal! I was supposed to be at the church to set up chairs for discussion. It never crossed my mind! I started through my fiction proofread again. The fourth time. 2 more left after this! I have no excuse for being a delinquent! Wrath for my fallibility. I didn't keep my side of the deal. Maybe it happened for a reason. Maybe the in time was preordained. Maybe I'm trying to lighten the shame of my soul. Do you know what else I feel? I feel good that my preacher spoke to me like he did in the sermon. Change my heart, God Almighty. Make me more like You. Jesus, come and fill Your plan. Les greets me. I say I'm so mad. He says you're usually offended. I said this time it’s at myself. My fallacy. Burdened. Amazing grace. That’s on the screen. I'm thinking about it. I have a lot on my mind. But that's no excuse for what I did. Today I heard some good stuff Jimmy Carter did. I openly hear bad he did. That's good. It's who my great-granddaddy was with. The Covenant. I see some new faces in the sanctuary and I like that. it means more souls. I'm eager for the harvest, but I want to leave nobody behind. God Almighty is good and merciful. I think of Haiti out of the blue as usual and pray for them. it was untold destruction. Mike’s wife put macaroni on. They went to church and came home and saw black smoot on the ceiling and a real mess. But the mobile home was ok and after cleaning it was cleaner than ever. We’re praising and worshipping God Almighty. I'm praying for the new business Mom is in starting Monday. West Star Mortgage. Mike says he will not be defeated. A round of applause joins in with his victory. I pray for the local high speed train. Orlando-Tampa. Mike has a charred ceiling, but that mobile home is still standing! I'm very happy for him! the cross before me the world behind. Not for us, but to God Almighty’s name be the glory. Glory and honor and praise! Faster! Glory and honor and praise! Faster! Glory and honor and praise! Faster! Glory and honor and praise! Faster! Glory and honor and praise! Faster! I'm trading in my sorrows and I'm laying them down for the glory of the Lord. Every breath to the deepest part I offer all I've come to. My Father, You are all I need. I give myself unreservedly. My Jesus. My Savior. Lord, there's none like You. Mountains bow down and the seas roar at the sound of God Almighty’s Name. Pastor Anthony was just spotted and it is nineteen:27. I'm praying for Haiti. Give money to Abundant Life ministries and we will get every dime you give straight to their recovery. Church of God Almighty has people currently on the scene. The Covenant. I just looked at the class work and thought of my inability to keep my side of the deal I was in to get the chairs set up. Pray for Haiti. Covenant making ceremony. Exchange robes. You take on their identity. Doing so publicly. Blending identity. Protect each other. 3. weapons and enemies. 4. Sacrifice blood. Cut animal. Walk between them. Sacrifice life. given blood. God Almighty told Abraham to get a heifer. It was a symbol. Abraham knew it was for a Covenant. Come to terms. You sign your name now. Then there's the walk of death. It’s facing each other. In an open field. You walk a figure 8. Around a cut animal. Mark of blood. Waving of the hand in church is your showing God Almighty your mark on your skin, which of course is a symbolism. Shaking hands today is the closing of a deal. Today, in fact, Pastor Anthony closed a deal with somebody and they shook hands out of instinct. Pronouncement of blessings and cursings. They fed each other Covenant meal like bride and groom feeding each other wedding cake. Exchanging names is going in Covenant. God Almighty gave Abram ah out of Jehovah to make him Abraham. God Almighty of Abraham. God Almighty of Isaac. God Almighty of Jacob. (Please pray for my nephew, Jacob.) That's where God Almighty took on man’s names. That was number 9.
Genesis 17:1
The Covenant of Circumcision
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty [a] ; walk before me and be blameless.
Genesis 17
1And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
El means mighty. Shaddai means nurturing. God Almighty says walk before Me and be blameless.

Genesis 17:4-7
4 "As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. 5 No longer will you be called Abram [a] ; your name will be Abraham, [b] for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. 7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
Multigenerational.
Genesis 17:10-11 (New International Version)
10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.
Sign means symbol and mark. Children were greatest asset. That convicts me. After 181 rejections, I want nothing to do with romance. A woman without a child was cursed. Circumcision. Mark on man’s greatest spot of pleasure. God Almighty marks you where you procreate. Role of man has been weakened. Man is reminded daily he is in Covenant. Man has to father, love, teach, and protect his children. And direct them. Respect yourself. Pastor Anthony tried to have lunch with a Jew but found that impossible. Except at Starbucks. Children of God Almighty are important. Men, take your place as the Spiritual head of the family.
Deuteronomy 28
Blessings for Obedience
1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
Look at IF. You HAVE TO obey!
Deuteronomy 28:3-7 (New International Version)
3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
God Almighty will always keep His side. Let the forces of darkness know you are a child of God Almighty’s. prosperity- God Almighty’s desire to meet your needs without your undue stress. .
Genesis 17:11
11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.
Lavish is trouble. You cannot break room your way out of debt. You cannot make a mess and ask God Almighty to bless it. you get curses for disobedience.
Deu 28:fifteen-twenty
The curses are bigger than the blessings.
Genesis 17:23 >>
New International Version (©1984)
On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him.Bronze helmet means your prayers are bouncing back. Disobedience cuts off your blessings.
Jeremiah 7:34
34 I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, for the land will become desolate.
I think of the lady with the 35 years old boy and Mom was watching. That told me she too is getting messages. People let her know 35 isn't a boy. She said he's 34. that's how old I am!!!! Unfortunately social security goes by what she says not what I say. I had 1 come and see how I've healed and all she did was name stuff I could do. leaving the oven on was one. Plus bath water. Even climate control messed up. Everything you could possibility think of that'd go bad she said.
Jeremiah 7:33
33 Then the carcasses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away.
I just heard Barack Obama say God Almighty bless America, listening to his speech after church.
Genesis 15:11
11 Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
Mark 4:4
4As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
Birds.
Mark 4:15
15Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Look at the symbolism of birds and the enemy stealing your blessings. Abraham shewed them away. Birds are representing stealing. You have to protect yourself from the enemy. When God Almighty speaks to you, write it down.
1 Samuel 17:3-4
3 The Philistines occupied one hill and the Israelites another, with the valley between them.
4 A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. He was over nine feet [a] tall.
1 cubit equals 18”
Standoff. Goliath was taunting. David was told to leave. They decide to wait. Covenant lang. who is this punk, raising his voice against the Living God Almighty? You have to take a stand. You are of God Almighty. The flesh is a coward. Goliath is out of the Covenant I am in.

1 Samuel 17:33-35 (King James Version)
33And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
David is building his strength. David believed in himself. Look like you know somebody. You are so far in it doesn’t matter what they have. I'm glad I showed up.
1 Samuel 17:36-39 (King James Version)
36Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
38And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
39And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
Church today is Covenant kids but they are equipped with armor too big and stuff they do not need. Ask God Almighty for His ideas. Do it God Almighty’s way. David knows confidence isn't in the flesh.
1 Samuel 17:47 (King James Version)
47And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.
David won because he walked in the Covenant.
1 Samuel 18
1And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
4 exchange of identity. Exchange of belt.
2 Samuel 4:4 (King James Version)
4And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
2 sam 9:1-3
Mark on the body and David sees the mark and gains strength. He remembers.
favor, good deed, kindly, loving-kindness, merciful kindness, mercy, pity, reproach, wicked thing
From chacad; kindness; by implication (towards God Almighty) piety: rarely (by opposition) reproof, or (subject.) Beauty -- favour, good deed(-liness, -ness), kindly, (loving-)kindness, merciful (kindness), mercy, pity, reproach, wicked thing. 6
Instead of the wrath he expected he finds the circumstances of the Covenant. Mercy and blessings. He didn't know about the Covenant.
2 Samuel 9:7 (King James Version)
7And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
They were eating like they were on a cruise. David represents Jesus. Zebah represents the Holy Spirit.
Definitions of Mephibosheth on the Web:
* Meri-baal - "beloved of Baal"/"beloved of the Lord". In view of later religious sensibilities, textually later parts of the Bible rename Meribaal ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mephibosheth
He is us. Lothbar is the dry land where we live. David for man. Jesus is showing what He will do for you. Mephibosheth was a low stsandard of livg. Like us before we struck Covenant with God Almighty. we have to get our family and friends in Covenant with God Almighty. Jesus looks at the Covenant marks of the nails on his wrists and remember his Covenant with us.

As I walked down the hall, I thought of how I read John Wayne was a good dresser in school, but very poor. His teacher said he was very smart in class and ALWAYS knew the answer when called upon, but never volunteered to answer a question. Then I thought of how he was Papa’s “hero” and Papa married the Salutatorian. It makes me weigh tastes. The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? The Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me? Psalm 27:1 If you do not get rattled under the devil’s attack, the Sovereign Lord will be a greater force on your side. It’s a great deal we Christians get. The most powerful source to mankind. I feel for the people that try so hard and think they're doing so well, but they're not. It’s a shame. I think that's because I bought junk as a teen. A truck. I spent in parts enough to buy a new car and didn't really profit after I sold the thing. It had 4 tires. But if I'd gotten a newer vehicle, the money in the payments would've been less than the money in the parts bought for the junk. When the football team was getting positions, everybody already knew mostly what they wanted to play. Maybe coach would suggest a better position for you, but the one you chose was usually what you got. Yes, I was wingback, but Clint developed a lactose intolerance, so on defense I got his position too. (Clint won most attractive our Senior year.) Keep trying. Keep trying. Keep trying. Keep trying. That's what you have to do to succeed. Staying whole is the happiest way to live. I just read, in school, John Wayne, made a chemical with a buddy that stunk so badly school was called off. The chemical was found in his possession, hid. The name misspelled. His dad asked him to spell it. That's the way he spelled it. He was busted. So was his buddy. Getting in trouble is 1 thing many people outgrow. Stay out of trouble by obeying the rules. You'll be out of trouble if you are obedient. Then you'll have greater time to glory Jesus. That's where your eternity comes into play. It’s wisest to bless your eternity because there's never been and never will be a better investment than your eternity. Surrender to Jesus and shun sin. If you want to get paid off only on earth, you are saying you just want a temporary return. As a little boy, before I had a job, Granny paying my lunch money seemed like something that was supposed to happen. Now I appreciate it like never before. Please pray for Mom and her coworkers, whose past boss owes them sixty 9 thousand dollars!!! Her lawyer is working on the case. Please pray for my blog in Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse to be used by thousands of churches until the end of time. The cord in my vibrating cushion has a connection that couples and easily slides in or out. I cannot count the number of times the cord tried to trip me but come apart. That reminds me of safety catches to keep you from going to the lake. I was on the path of destruction when I had a traumatic brain injury. I'm taking a breather from my book I'm proofreading. All I have to do is look at it to get tired…. No, I just changed my mind. I simply will not spend the entire day proofreading this course. It has to be done 6 times and I'm on number 4. I think of the many teens that gather in the field across the street to play ball. You know some are going to the lake. Who? How can I stop that? Think of the seeds planted by media. One time Pam told me the exact time I leave for church and the exact time I return. We talked an hour a day a year. So a lot was shared. We got very, very close. I had NO idea she knew so much about my comings and goings. That speaks very, very much. People are watching you much, much better than you think. For eternity’s sake we’re on the brink. It reminds me of an old friend I called. The connection itself got stalled. I read to his step dad the Great Commission. I hope the seeds gave him a vision. To help him decide it’s not in your ride. But getting Spiritually full that's the pull. Most happiness felt. Lose the guilt. It helps you forgive the wrong done to you. You realize everything that has happened got you on the strait path and there's no better path you can be on. Oddly, the path of destruction is widest because most people are going that way. That's why odd things that seem unfair will be happening to you. Maybe they are unfair, but the perspective you get is the most rewarding perspective you could ever have. Almost 2 decades ago, I had a party in the guest house. Some people called me outside to the guy in my goldfish pond, acting stupid. 1.5 decades later I'm talking to him on the phone and hear him calling his wife to look at their boy. A toddler. He was setting on his head as he lay in the floor, talking on the pho. It was funny, but it was another life that'd very, very likely model himself after him. That's when I realized how very; very important it is to be a good role model to your children. He who is slow to be angry is better than a man of war, and he who has control over his spirit than he who takes a town.
Proverbs 16:32 That reminds me of the overweight man saying its unbelievable how many skinny people tell him to lose weight. A couple gave their wedding money to Haiti recovery and^ got countless free wedding services in response. The couple never knew that was coming. I just learned my Cousin, Penny, died and they do not know why yet. please pray for the family. When I'm eating a lot of snacks Christmas season, I get flabby and start limiting my diet to 1 meal a day… in the morning, to take care of my flab. As I tell about being a good role model to your children, out of the 182 women I've asked out only 1 went out with me. No, Pam means 2! Misty Perkins and Pam. Lol, Misty Paul and I rented a movie from my aunt’s video store… free. Salvation is free with no strings attached if you keep your side of the contract. The thief goes by the sheepfold. John 10 (New International Version) John 10 The Shepherd and His Flock 1"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. 3The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." 6Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them. [-] If I avoid the traps Jesus has previously pointed out, that doesn’t mean I will not run into trouble. So many people try to live by not living with trouble because that's something nobody likes. Maybe a shortcut will help you illicitly avoid trouble for the time, but the effect isn't worth it. Christianity might look like you are going around the barn the long way, but it'll always be worth it. Matthew 26:52 (New International Version) 52"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. [-]Matthew 28:16-20 (New International Version) The Great Commission 16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." [-] You make the choice. You can go by what somebody else said or you can go by what Jesus Christ said. Nobody is higher than Jesus Christ. You can have peace in the midst of trouble. As you journey through this pilgrim land, the Spirit will point out what to avoid. There's only 1 the Sovereign Lord Almighty. The cross says you can be redeemed. The cross is your deliverance. Know the power in Jesus’ name. The floor is ceramic tile. I was scooting up my folding chair and the wire got under it and skinned itself. This happened after I wrote about the connector. The wire altogether is ruined. Well, I can black tape it. And the fault is all mine. I'm in the wrong, to blame, guilty, and wrong I felt friction under the chair and continued trying top scoot up. I add up all my social security numbers and get 36. I look for the meaning of that and find number says 36 ~ Enemy (3 + 6 = 9), 36 = 6 man x 6. I can be my own worst enemy? I must always put the Sovereign Lord Almighty 1st. Please pray for the Lord to greatly bless anybody who shares this blog with hundreds of thousands of words of sermons in my blogs: Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse. After Granny got cancer, she had to stop canning fruits and vegetables as usual. It made her do something she NEVER thought she’d do—buying canned fruits and vegetables. She found something she NEVER thought she’d find. It was good. Her expression said just as good as the home canned version. Sometimes we’re driven to do something we’d NEVER do by inevitable circumstances. Then we’re glad it happened. I go to Friday smallgroup and return my notes…. I get there and much communion is taking place. I see many fake plants and for some reason I think of planting a sick Florida tree in freezing Ecuador and expecting it to live. Nor will it bear any fruit. You cannot get the same proof from something in different conditions. I tell Dick about Lowe’s saying they have a 125 amp breaker. I pray for Mom’s new business starting February 1. I pray for the books I'm mailing to the movie producers. Please pray for my prayers and anywhere you see needed prayer. I got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. That's a song I heard Granny Clampet singing today. It’s real friendship, says a member, when you hear somebody say something but you know the different meaning they're trying to convey. Founder’s faith is on a paper I get. It’s talking about the great, great faith of the founder’s. We pray for Fran, Roy, and Peggy. Linda is having back troubles. Cindy is having migraines. Sandy is having another problem. The spot on her kidney. She says so what? It’s either a miracle or glory land. Good attitude. She has a history of cancer. Many family members. Hattie’s son, Hal, is doing better. If you see a need in the paper, please pray for it. Sandy says kidneys are different than other body parts. Hal needs more monitors. When I was in rehab, I tell, a patient was found way up hwy 29 in his electric wheelchair. My brain is tired of writing and reading. Nilda is feeling better. I tell of Papa and my walking 2 miles a day. Walk a mile. He’d have a cigarette break. Then walk another mile. Doctor said he had a teen’s lungs. That was till it got a little cool. Papa was very, very, very, very cold natured!!!!
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a] 2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my the Sovereign Lord Almighty, in whom I trust." 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
Les saw this chapter 4 times. It’s a confirmation. The fleece. The devil used Matthew 4:5-7 5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6"If you are the Son of the Sovereign Lord," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:
" 'He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'[a]"
7Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your the Sovereign Lord to the test.'[b]"
The Word is your wpn. The devil knows it. So should we. The Bible can be a GUN WITHOUT BULLETS. You have to be a child of the Sovereign Lord Almighty to understand. That's why the devil doesn’t give up. Jesus was new to the devil.
Psalm 91

El Elyon.
The Most High the Sovereign Lord.

20 And blessed be [a] the Sovereign Lord Most High,
who delivered your enemies into your hand."
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
Psalm 9:2
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Sometimes referred to in Scripture simply as Elyon (e.g., Num. 24:16). Numbers 24:16
16 the oracle of one who hears the words of God,
who has knowledge from the Most High,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
El Shaddai.
The All Sufficient the Sovereign Lord.
Proverbs 15:33
33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, [a]
and humility comes before honor.
the Sovereign Lord Almighty possesses everything. The Christian is not in lack. The Sovereign Lord Almighty owns everything. We’re rich. Dad owns everything. We can ask for anything and He will not reproach us. You have to have a pure heart, says a classmate. Keep on. Take the Sovereign Lord Almighty at His word. The Sovereign Lord Almighty gives you your need. Pat tells of their mission. Honduras. Very, very poor country. But right when the Sovereign Lord Almighty was asked for something, He would supply. People in third world countries are always laughing because they've learned how to get the right attitude. We expect everything. We’re poor. We’re spoiled brats. I say fuss at me about my Playstation. (But really I haven't played it in months and months.) Yes, agrees Nilda. We do not need excess. It takes our mind off the Sovereign Lord Almighty.
Ps 91: Psalm 91:3-4
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
the Sovereign Lord Almighty is Creator. The Sovereign Lord Almighty is power. The Sovereign Lord Almighty is refuge. My refuge. Make it personal. It should be our goal to well in the secret place of the Lord. Read the Bible daily. Pray daily. Let the Holy Spirit intercede. You cannot pray on your own. It has to be daily and earnest. Let the Sovereign Lord Almighty know you are willing to be His. I think of the Private/Christian College lying about inability to get permission from my parents to let me withdraw from an overwhelming, overpowering, devastating, crushing class they'd already said was overwhelming and my parents said they were never asked. College said they were and said no!!!! Then as hard as I could, completely studied out, I rammed my head into a concrete wall. With a shunt!!! As hard as I could!!!! Knowing about the Sovereign Lord Almighty is different than relationship with Him. Some people just come to church for the loaves and fishes. After you develop with relationship with Jesus, you get a calmness. Do not limit the Sovereign Lord Almighty and put Him in a box. The Sovereign Lord Almighty isn't intrusive. Do you really know the Sovereign Lord Almighty? Sometimes you are blind and do not see the Sovereign Lord Almighty right there. You have to surrender yourself to the Sovereign Lord Almighty. After Les told the Sovereign Lord Almighty he surrendered himself to Him, David Wilkerson sent him an email and asked, So, you surrendered yourself to the Sovereign Lord Almighty? I was tried. Mom saw I got a tad bit of corn on my pants. Very, very tiny. Very!!! She said let her wash them to have a load. It was easily wiped off. Plessse. So I changed. Got home from church and they were untouched!!! BEWILDERMENT!!! We all have triggers like that. Lose them. Be more like Jesus. The more you get in the Sovereign Lord Almighty, the more mellow you grow. It takes a long time maybe. Mom said the fancy7 houses built on Extreme Home Makeover make the property taxes go way up and end up going into foreclosure. That helped me stop coveting!!! Mean it when you repent. You might\ have to look defeated. Sharing struggles with people helps them more than you think. Just because you had a structured childhood doesn’t mean you have nothing to share. Pray before you leave your house, right when you are out of bed. You cannot make it a day without praying. Make the Sovereign Lord Almighty your Deliverer, your refuge, your strength. Abide by the Sovereign Lord Almighty to be under His cover. The tiger waits for the deer that leaves the flock. Sin is a disease. There's a lot of error in the church. Christians are sheep. The lion will not attack a group. Always doing the Sovereign Lord Almighty’s will makes it hard for the devil to get a foot hole. You get double honor.
Isaiah 4 1 In that day seven women
will take hold of one man
and say, "We will eat our own food
and provide our own clothes;
only let us be called by your name.
Take away our disgrace!!!"
The Branch of the Lord
The Branch of the Lord reminds me of my Grizzly Adams DVDs still in the mail on their way. It was my very, very favorite show as a toddler. The DVDs I got for Christmas were missed up, so the company said they were sending me new 1s. But that's been quite a while. Please pray it’s soon. The parts of the DVDs I saw showed I still love Grizzly Adams!!!! 2 In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. 3 Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4 The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit [a] of judgment and a spirit [b] of fire. 5 Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy. 6 It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.
the Sovereign Lord Almighty is protecting us day and night. Christians are troubled like Jesus was troubled. (Not necessarily as badly.) Attitude is everything. I think of Sandy’s good attitude. Attitude is the answer to everything. Trials help you grow. Some people groan about little problems as other people with much worse problems take it with a grain of salt. People blame everybody. It’s all about attitude. You are closer to the Sovereign Lord Almighty during trouble. If you are going through hell, keep going. Third world countries learn how to have the right attitude. A happy American is expected on drugs. You can get mad at the Sovereign Lord Almighty in trouble. But He’ll put you through more trouble to make you learn to lean on Him. A thousand may fall to my side. They're sick and the Sovereign Lord Almighty is keeping me from getting infected. Attitude is everything.
Psalm 91:7-8 (New International Version)
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
The fear of the Lord is the teaching of wisdom; and a low opinion of oneself goes before honour. Proverbs 15:thirty-three
….Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus! I just read 2 hours forty minutes stopping one time to kill a cup of cool coffee! That's how long it takes to read forty pages! Now tiredness is truly felt.
I read more about John Wayne’s troubles and happenings to get into acting. I also learned about Hollywood’s business. My friend has nothing good to say about Hollywood. Her sister is an actress and Jay Leno her neighbor. Stuff the world makes a big deal out of is really disappointing when you get in it. Activities media alludes to as fun are really disappointing, unsatisfactory, unacceptable, second-rate, and poor. I also learned about skills making you desirable. All of the agents loved how polite John Wayne was. That's a lesson. Be polite. It’s a Christ-like character. The book said John Wayne was raised Presbyterian, but didn't go to church or believe in organized religion. Guess what, religion will not get you to heaven. Another thing that made Papa and John Wayne similar is both were Presbyterians. I used to be Presbyterian. Those are very, very wonderful people. I remember when the Sovereign the Sovereign Lord the Lord Almighty called me to Pentecostal. He woke me up early and said today I’ll get the sign. 2 women in Sunday school rejected me, lol. That was my last Sunday there. Then I was incomparably gracious I made the change. That doesn’t mean the Presbyterian church wasn't fabulous and grandiose because it was. But I came to a spot where I needed to change. Mom’s dog, who I often claim, started early marking his territory in my room. Months ago. So I keep my doors closed. Then it hit me yesterday. He was making sure no other animals come and take me away. The Lord used that to help me see why a friend likely lied about me. She wanted him to see I seemed attracted to her to create a boundary maybe between them. But I still blew up. I hate lies about me. My button. I still failed the test. Please pray for Mom’s reasoning. She's looking at getting double pane windows and the duct work has holes. Therefore the light bill is very, very high. James 4:11 (New International Version)
11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. [-] It’s almost time to go to church. Leaving 10:45a today. I always go to the 8:30a service because I like to get home and do the notes with lots of time left for the day. If the noise level is quiet, which is very, very rare, I’ll try to take a nap.
Morning service. Pray for Haiti. Give to Church of the Sovereign Lord world missions department to get your money straight there. We have organizations there. We get everything there cost free. Our overseer there was killed in the earthquake. We've been in Haiti since 1933. Give to Abundant Life ministries and every penny will make it to Haiti. We already have a network there. We are the best missions organization. A picture of footies, pink, is on a scale on the screen. It’s a woman, supposedly. There's some debate and decision it better be a woman. Essential Goals. Number 1 was worship. How can you love the Sovereign Lord more passionately? Have you set Essential Goals for community? Become more like Christ. What ways can you give of yourself? Have a regular daily Bible reading plan. When I saw codes and told the Sovereign Lord if He will verify that, I’ll read the Bible every day for the rest of my life. I never said a word to anybody and 2 weeks later Mom sent me a book on encoded messages. It was 1998. How do you have a Bible reading plan? first I do my Zito 5. When my kidneys wake me then 1 or 2 more times reading. Lights are out without the Bible and on with. Serving means ministering. Vice versa. Elvis Presley is used as an idea. Papa, the Sergeant, met him in club Ledo’s in France and they started club hopping every weekend and eating in the mess hall every day. Papa said he was a joker. Then I hear of how stardom ruined him. Dad said methadone was Elvis Presley’s drug. Dad’s too. Priscilla said Elvis felt unfulfilled. Ephesians 2:10 >>

women's ministry
1 Peter 4:10
10Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
New International Version (NIV)
. get beyond yourself. Help others. Think of others. You'll be happier. Find peace. Stingy people are the most miserable. Cards, a hundred, are on the altar. Commitment slips. 1 here. 1 here. 1 here. 1 here. 1 here. 1 here. 1 here. Many people are grabbing cards2 more. There's 1 then the last 1 is taken. 100 makes me think of the 181 women having rejected me and I see a pleasurable grace in that all of a sudden. This is the commitment phase. Commercials for Abundant Life ministries are needed. Remodeling of the bathroom is needed. 2 more projectors are needed. 22 years old are needed to be lured. That's the age I was when my body went crazy, I prayed it off, and 9 years later I was sitting in the doctor’s office, scared because of what the loss of stimulation had done to me. A monument in the front is needed. The sign I'd why I go here. After I saw it, I started. If you commit 12 dollars 12 cents a week, you'll get a reminder in the mail. And you'll get a payment book. People are right for the message. Wrap Your arms around me. Young men are getting baptized. Christopher is getting serious with God. Take me to Your secret place. Joyce saw the need and got her grandson in the church. Grandparents stand in the gap. Everybody applauding. A grandchild was cuffed here and taken away then cane back and got right with the Sovereign Lord. Pastor Anthony is making William the armor bearer. The Sovereign Lord loves you. The Sovereign Lord loves you. The Sovereign Lord loves you. The Sovereign Lord loves you. Thank the Sovereign Lord for the souls going public. We must go through Jesus to be in Covenant with God. At the dinner, we will eat before we hear the financial report,. Period 12.jugs of water jugs of tea are at each table. I te3ll Nilda she isn't ghetto like she said. I think of the boys I fought as a child and count 6. (Because my hormones were intense.) Never Ricky or Tate because Ricky never left his house and Tate was too old to hang with us. William by me is at my table. The last time we ate by each other was Ecuador, where I got sick… we all did. Credit report is given. We’re lowest on cash ever since Pastor Anthony has been here. If everything comes in, we'll have 49 thousand in surplus. We’re 12 thousand in the hole. If pledges are kept, we can tackle projects. We cannot spend our way out of debt like our government is trying. Expenses. Receipts. Commitments. Pastor Anthony gives them. We need 93 hundred dollars a week. Welcome sign is number 1 thing that got people here. I stand, giving. A testimony when I saw the sign, I started. Stingy people are the most miserable. You were created to serve others.
Pastor Anthony is coach and we’re players on the field. Coach McDaniel. Service and ministry are the same.
Matthew 20:28
28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Serve like Jesus and be available.
Matthew 20:30-32
30Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
31The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
32Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
Jesus was interrupted. Stay the same though interrupted. You must be willing to be interrupted. Soon Pastor Kendra will pull Pastor Anthony off course with a suggestion and he, coach, is delayed. Maintain true Christianity in the season of inconvenience. Whence interrupted. Do every one good each and every one good every bit of good every one of them good every single one.
do not be self centered. Jesus was always interrupted when he was doing good works. Lol! I was talking about noise when I try to nap before service today! Do not procrastinate. Stay together. Be organized.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 (New International Version)
4 Whoever watches the wind will not plant;
whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.
Do not be a perfectionalist. Do not wait for perfect conditions. Do not expect ideal circumstances. Do not anticipate just right situation. Do not await just the thing setting. Do not wait on great environments. Be a Christian when interrupted. Gulp! Proud and arrogant I'm humiliated with the circumstances of 181 rejections and therefore no longer feeling any interest. Without faith you cannot please the Lord. Do not be excellent oriented. Turn your phone off. The Sovereign Lord doesn’t use perfect people because there’re none.
Luke 16:13 (New International Version)
13"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
Do not be materialistic. Are you a Kingdom builder or a wealth builder? Be grateful.
John 11:41-42 (New International Version)
41So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."
Be thankful. There were 10 healed lepers and only 1 returned, thinking Jesus.
Psalm 100:2 (New International Version)
2 Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
2 Timothy 1:9
9who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
Romans 14:4
4Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
Do not be critical or talk about people. At the judgment seat you are alone. Have good motivation. Keep it between you and the Sovereign Lord. be faithful.
John 17:4
4I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
Stick to it. persevere. 1 Corinthians 4:2
2Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
1 Corinthians 15:58
58Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Do not confuse significance with prominence. Your nose is no more important than your liver. 2 boys came in a service, couldn't find a seat, then left. Usher went for them and found a place for the 2 in the middle. 1 of the boys was Billy Graham.
Hebrews 6:10
10God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
Matthew 25:21
21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
Elvis Presley’s only Grammy was for a gospel album.
Smallgroup evening
Hattie’s son Hal is doing better. Thank you for praying for him. Hattie is soon going up to see about him. Hattie is on her walker. Her new 1 was stolen and this 1 given to her. We sign a card for Hal. Not having eating next Sunday. Denise is here. Somebody says where's da nephew. People laugh and I'm ignorant. I finally catch on da niece and da nephew. Janice is working on the TV and DVD player. Decides on the laptop. So as she leaves for her laptop I say I’ll take names, (of misbehaving people,) for her. Jack begins, “Hello guys.” What happened to ladybugs and jellybeans? He repeats ladybugs and jellybeans. The Sovereign Lord is very, very greatly blessing us to gather like this. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Procrastination is an enemy. Be careful to not fall in that pit. Do not put off. If anything was left undone, take care of it now. You never know. A son went to the doctor about chest pains. The doctor said it’s ok. As he got almost home, he had a heart attack and died. If you die a sinner, you die a sinner. All you need is the Sovereign Lord. The Bible is the manual. We’re headed to the judgment throne. The Sovereign Lord will say welcome home or depart from me. The Sovereign Lord’s love is overwhelming. How could the Sovereign Lord love me like this? Jesus stepped between the cross and eternity to take the place where I rightfully belong. Gracious and kind the Sovereign Lord gave this day as a choice to do with it what we want. You are exchanging this is day of our life for it. Tomorrow it'll be gone forever. Ask the Sovereign Lord to make you more like Jesus every day. Fill our heart with Your love. Be gain not loss good not evil. Success not failure. That reminds me of the chill getting to Papa as he was deer hunting. So he fed the fire after going back to camp, having coffee. Saw a deer. Shot it as it ran away. Try today because if you never quit trying you never fail. Glory the Sovereign Lord. We have prayer. Janice starts the video on her laptop. 76 orphans in the Cambodia orphanage. They got close to Janice and vice versa. Janice bought them ice cream. Very, very poor community. No tools for farming. But they farm. Janice sang a song for them in a game where she was chosen. It was gospel. It was supposed to be embarrassing. Jesus is King. The youth did great plays. Janice taught them how to cook. Every orphan must know how to cook where they're going. The market is out in the open. Everything available. Harvest jumping around in the morning. Laundry in the troughs air dried. School dedications attended. Buddhist temple there. She said another temple of a cult too I do not remember. Hardship. Pain. This is about resting, resting, and waiting on the Sovereign Lord.
Matthew 11:28
28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Thermometer will do you no good when nobody can take care of you. The Sovereign Lord is still on the throne and in charge.
Psalm 62 (New American Standard Bible)
Psalm 62
God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.
For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1(A)My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him (B)is my salvation.
2He only is my (C)rock and my salvation,
My (D)stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
3How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a (E)leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position;
They (F)delight in falsehood;
They (G)bless with their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. Selah.
5My soul, (H)wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
6He only is (I)my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
7On God my (J)salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my (K)refuge is in God.
8(L)Trust in Him at all times, O people;
(M)Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9Men of (N)low degree are only (O)vanity and men of rank are a (P)lie;
In the (Q)balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.
10(R)Do not trust in oppression
And do not vainly hope in (S)robbery;
If riches increase, (T)do not set your heart upon them.
11[a]Once God has (U)spoken;
[b]Twice I have heard this:
That (V)power belongs to God;
12And lovingkindness (W)is Yours, O Lord,
For You (X)recompense a man according to his work.
We think we have it tough till we see need like this. Like in a third world countries. Women are after rich Europeans, get pregnant, then they think it’s easy street. Janice went to the killing fields. Bones, teeth, clothes. Scattered about. Sign of barbarism. Unreached people. There was an escapee. Small boy. Made it to the States. Christians adopted him. He became a missionary and returned.
Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations (peoples)
Jesus said it 2,000 years ago. Where do we stand today?

, Romans 15:13
13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 30:15
15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says:
"In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,
but you would have none of it.
Wait for the Sovereign Lord, quiet and trusting. No matter what it looks like. The Sovereign Lord is able. Trust and let Him act. Ps twenty-seven:14.
Psalm 30:5
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
Isaiah 40:31
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
New International Version (NIV)
Isaiah 30:15
15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says:
"In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,
but you would have none of it.
There’re times when you cannot do anything.
Isaiah 30:18-20
18 Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you;
he rises to show you compassion.
For the LORD is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him!
19 O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. 20 Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them.
You get adversity, but the Sovereign Lord is with you. That's when the Sovereign Lord teaches and guides you. In difficult times appreciate and grow in it. In trouble, you see other trouble as little. The Sovereign Lord shows you how to turn to Him. The Sovereign Lord is wisest counsel you'll have. Trust and wait on the Sovereign Lord. Appreciate prayer for you. Cambodia gave Janice a paradigm shift. There was a preacher, says a member, that said if you are not mission minded, do not come here. The orphanage was life changing for Janice. It costs 10 thousand a month to operate. You are blessed to be a blessing and you feel it. I remember Ecuador missions and agree. People are starving and dying every day without Jesus.

Hindus need to be reached. Israel was judged because they weren't blessing others. In Cambodia, your bus seat is picked for you. Motorcycle cabs wear helmet but you do not. Parents are very, very mean to their children in the open and nobody says anything. Harshly slinging loudly them to the floor even. Youth were fighting for Janice’s hand. Tripping each other to grab it. doctors very novice. You do not need a prescription. Just say what you need and you get it. A Joyce Meyer hospital is in the middle of nowhere in walking distance. To nobody. Driving laws are not enforced. Everybody drives wildly. Low of 85 and high of 105 its warm and there's no AC. Power goes out all the time. A life size gecko was on Janice’s wall she had removed. They said it’s harmless. So? The beds are as hard as the floor. Wolves are in sheep’s clothing. Cambodia is under communist control. Missionaries are building schools, so they're welcome. School for very young is used for the older in the evening. They need money and prayer. A very, very young girl raised for prostitution was in the orphanage, rescued by police. Public turns a blind eye to child abuse. Then as I'm waiting alone for my ride, a woman stops in a car and asks is this St. John’s church? I say Abundant Life ministries. Then she leaves. Was that a divine moment? Did I do everything right? I was polite. But I didn't smile. Maybe I should have.

Genesis 6:11-9:19
View commentary related to this passage
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die.
18 But I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Genesis 7
1 And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female:
3 of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground.
5 And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground,
9 there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14 they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
23 And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
2 the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; With all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; As the green herb have I given you all.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require; At the hand of every beast will I require it. And at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: For in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you. Of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.

20 And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard:
21 and he drank of the wine, and was drunken. And he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.

Please pray for church worldwide.
Numbers in the Bible are represented by something. I have been working on my fiction. I’ll start my biography again soon. I just lifted weights and the endorphins are feeling very, very good. Incomparably wonderful, excellently magnificent, unbeatably superb, very breathtaking, and matchlessly amazing! I love releasing endorphins!!! It’s beyond compare!! Church growth comes to mind. Seeing the lost bothers me is a reason. Belonging, just going there, to the church gives you a feeling of peace. Numbers come to mind. Belong to a church and feel Jesus speaking to you. belong 2. church 3. feel grace. 7 for g. ex 3:7 Exodus
Chapter 3
7 But the LORD said, "I have witnessed the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their cry of complaint against their slave drivers, so I know well what they are suffering.
There’re a bunch of numbers that each have a meaning. I got my numbers at the beginning like I did before I learned the represented numbers. In it, I see affliction and support. That's what I started the idea out with. But belong in the numbers directory is belong, fit in, go, be in the right place, and feel right. Keep trying no matter how hard you have to try. In Bible Paper 169, I wrote I just finished my daily Bible reading regimen. It’s something I've done 11 yrs. Going on an 18th time read through completely. I meant I was doing my note writing. I read the Bible at home not at the church unless it’s with Pastor Anthony, reading. I do my regimen at home. After Mom made me change my pants, I said I can wipe this off and did. She said she needed more clothes to wash a load of laundry. Then when I got home from church, I saw she’d never washed anything. It was very bewildering because the stain was easily wiped away. Then I found she forgot and that made sense. It was still exasperating at the time. I saw little sense in changing my britches because of a little stain I could easily wipe off. But the bewilderment I felt gave me a chance to see where I need to become more like Jesus. If you are very, very zealous about something, there's a good chance you'll over do it. I did with weight lifting week before last. 3 sets a day 5 days a week. I got so sore I took a week off and I'm still a little sore. But the impact of endorphins at the time are Intense. Enjoyment. Strong. Powerful. Happiness. Delight. Joy. Forceful. Bliss. Concentrated. Contentment. Deep. Satisfaction. Passionate. Gratification. Extreme. Amusement. Severe. Recreation. INCOMPARABLE! That's clearly why I over did it. Senate’s impact on Christianity.
Pray for the world to see the need of Christian leadership is a good way t of getting Christians leading us. We’re praying for Christian leaders, are we not? Maybe it’s our approach to prayer that makes the difference. My theses may get us thinking. Bpblog: * Life is too short to spend it hating. Courage is fear prayed for. Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in God Almighty's eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:twenty 20 because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.
When I woke, the History channel was doing a thing on the weather in Africa and I instantly thought of the many ships Christopher Columbus wrecked at stormy South Africa coast. That made me think of weather, which made me think of the way man has grown more predictable of it. Therefore when we know a huge storm is coming, we can prepare better. That makes us rely on ourselves more. I heard somebody celebrate a report of the weatherman like it was really going to happen the way he said. I am not like that. The weatherman has been wrong too many times for me to depend on him. Or her. The more you depend. When people make promises to you, there's NOTHING that says they will not keep the promise. Therefore do not depend on something if a human promises it to you. but with God Almighty that's a different thing. Please pray for the help groups to get better organized in Haiti. Please pray for the blog I just updated. http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=366386182&blogId=521391774
Please pray Jesus powerfully, strongly, mightily, impressively, effectively, forcefully blesses everybody sharing this blog. Peggy said the Lord told her to tell me to write a biography. Oddly, I stopped reading a book on prehistoric earth and went for another book. I've always bought loads of books at flea markets and just read the book on the top of the stack. After I saw it, I found it is a biography of John Wayne. Plus I read the Bible every morning and night. But the biography is helping me think of how I’ll write my biography. In story form. I started my blog from an 8 hundred thousand word file. Today I added 1 hundred ninety 1 thousand sixty five word file. Please pray Jesus abundantly blesses whoever shares it and that they see the many blessings. Getting the Word out is a very, very big deal. 12345››

I'm very, very thankful Jesus has given me the opportunity to do this. I have records dating back to 95, so I say the blog is fifteen years of records, so they're not easily identifiable. On earth, that isn't near the blessing it will be when I reach heaven. I just counted fifteen blogs. 33,572 words are in the blog I just counted. 33,572x14 equal 470008. now I'm comfortable saying its hundreds of thousands of words. Please pray Jesus fully blesses anybody passing that blog around. That gives a Spiritual fulfillment. Please pray the blog only grows and gains more viewers every day forever and ever, never thwarted whatsoever. Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse All my 15 blogs of recorded sermons are under my blogs. The flesh doesn’t want you to try in the first place. I played football because I didn't have to try out for the team. Plus my best friend was playing. Inviting me. I tried out for basketball too with him but didn't make the team. Though sometimes I see on college football games players my weight my high school Senior year. That's why I didn't try out in high school. I was the smallest boy. I got my growth spurt especially in a coma. When I did played football, I played 2 strings—nose guard and wingback. Listen to the criticism. Take it in. Get better. And show up. I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can. Don't halt before you are lame. Hang in there. Hang in there because the greatest quarterbacks complete only six of 10 passes. The best basketball players make only 50% of their shots. The top oil companies, with all their geologists, drill 10 dry holes for every wet one. And even the most successful actors flunk 29 auditions for television commercials before they land one. So, HANG IN THERE. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. Never say die. Persevere and get it done. Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th. For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again. Proverbs 24:16
16 For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
A lowly virtue whereby mediocrity achieves a glorious success. We make way for the man who boldly pushes past us. A jug fills drop by drop. By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. [-] Those sayings are something I needed grounded in my head all through my childhood. I continually write no matter how many books are rejected. When I was in rehab,, though my eyes ran together, Writer's Digest repeatedly reminded me of how very, very, very, very common rejection is for the writer. Reject makes me think of the Lord’s way of answering my prayer way back when my body went crazy. It’s unbelievable how well the Lord answered that prayer. It took 181 rejections and if you had told me it’d require 181 rejections,, I'd told you I'd be ok without that. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it’d be. Yes, my egto took a huge blow, but that's because I'm proud and arrogant. That's why Jesus doesn’t let us know how He will answer our prayers. Looking back I can verily say the loss was well worth the gain. Yes, the perspective change was also included. But that's something to be expected. After you have an answered prayer,, indeed a perspective change will be following. I'm far from unforgiving. As a matter of fact, 181 ladies, thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! I very badly needed the perspective change! I just found if I run defrag as I try to get online, several windows boot up, but does absolutely nothing besides say what it is. It’s a waste of time closing the may windows,, so I leave them open often. You click close, close, close, close, close, but it does nothing. You have to reset to get rid of them. In 94, reading forty pages was a very, very big deal, but now I'm amazed how easy that is. Fifteen years of reading increased my stamina for sure. Don't halt before you are lame. Hang in there. Hang in there because the greatest quarterbacks complete only six of 10 passes. The best basketball players make only 50% of their shots. The top oil companies, with all their geologists, drill 10 dry holes for every wet one. And even the most successful actors flunk 29 auditions for television commercials before they land one. So, HANG IN THERE. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. Never say die. No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction. Persevere and get it done. One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive. No matter whom you are or what your position is you must keep fighting for whatever it is you desire to achieve. People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th. The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is, that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't. Do not give ^. Keep on keeping on. My brother visited my church and went to the Sunday school. It was after he decided he didn't like my young adult’s class. He said the teacher asked after you keep on, what do you do? he said he said real zealously you keep on keeping on! But his suicide proved he found that impossible. It’s not impossible. Maybe he decided it wasn't worth it. After all, he had had a shiny sports car, huge personal life, and as nice job where he lived with Zaxby’s founders. he saw the truth of the things to come. But the beauty in the Spiritual realm was attainable. The reason he shot that idea down is his chemistry was based on sex, drugs, alcohol, and carnality. He knew that wasn’t church life. Didn't Solomon say riches are all vanity?
Matthew 24
4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[a]' and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains. [-] with THE LORD SO NEAR, now is the best time to get ready for the Lord’s return. Scenes like we have today were unfathomable even 2 decades ago. Repent and surrender yourself to Jesus Christ. Admit with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Don't sweat the small stuff. It’s all small stuff. Here's my little brother’s blog: my little cool bro: http://www.myspace.com/454456821 Too young to die. He obviously sweat the small stuff. Building on 30 years experience, with a curriculum based on the tenets of cognitive psychology and social learning theory, The Pacific Institute bridges this gap with its innovative program Thought Patterns for a Successful Career. Designed specifically to enhance student retention, as well as give students the tools to succeed in school and beyond, Thought Patterns emphasizes those performance skills most desired by employers:* Flexibility * Critical Thinking * Creativity/Innovation * Resiliency Accountability * Leadership I just felt led to look that up. I guess because I need it. Since I'm my own boss and am always writing with my hopes of nearing publication, it feels more applicable. If I'm my own boss, I'm making myself a better worker for me. * Appreciate the importance of good work habits and time management * Decrease any tendencies you might have toward procrastination * Develop attitudes and values that will help you become more productive * Develop skills and techniques that will help you become more productive * Overcome time-wasting practices People with good work habits tend to be more successful in their careers than poorly organized individuals, and they tend to have more time to spend on personal life. Good work habits are more important than ever because of today's emphasis on productivity and quality.
Procrastination is the leading cause of poor productivity and career self-sabotage. People procrastinate for many reasons, including their perception that a task is unpleasant, is overwhelming, or may lead to negative consequences. Fear of success can also lead to procrastination. Awareness of procrastination can lead to its control. Eight other techniques for reducing procrastination are (1) calculating the cost of procrastination; (2) counterattacking the burdensome task; (3) jump-starting yourself; (4) pecking away at an overwhelming task; (5) motivating yourself with rewards and punishments; (6) following the WIFO principle; (7) making a commitment to other people; and (8) expressing a more positive attitude. Developing good work habits and time management practices is often a matter of developing proper attitudes toward work and time. Seven such attitudes and values are (1) developing a mission, goals, and a strong work ethic; (2) valuing good attendance and punctuality; (3) valuing your time; (4) valuing neatness, orderliness, and speed; (5) working smarter, not harder; (6) becoming self-employed psychologically; (7) playing the inner game of working, and (8) appreciating the importance of rest and relaxation. Eleven skills and techniques to help you become more productive are (1) cleaning up and getting organized; (2) planning your activities; (3) getting off to a good start; (4) making good use of office technology; (5) concentrating on one key task at a time; (6) streamlining your work and emphasizing important tasks; (7) working at a steady pace; (8) creating some quiet, uninterrupted time; (9) making use of bits of time; (10) staying in control of paperwork, the in-basket, and e-mail; and (11) using multitasking for routine tasks. Seven suggestions for overcoming time wasting are (1) minimizing day dreaming; (2) preparing a time log and evaluating your use of time; (3) avoiding being a computer goof-off or cyberloafer; (4) keeping track of important names, places, and things; (5) setting a time limit for certain tasks and projects; (6) scheduling similar tasks together; (7) bouncing quickly from task to task, and (8) being decisive and finishing things. [-] Those are good habits to adopt.
I come to evening service 6:fifteen.William comes at 6:30 and apologizes. That's ok. I was enjoying band’s practice. Granny, who met Hank Senior in a restaurant, loved musical performances too. He gave her a tape, still an amateur. William and I unload chairs for evening discussion., we’ll talk about the sermon. It was empty when I got here. Bob told me sanctuary is where class is. I had a single McDonald's hamburger on my breath. I won't say anything about that. Today we’re studying the Covenant and the single hamburger could make me think the following things I think. The earth is full of God Almighty’s glory. People will praise God Almighty forever. I have in God Almighty more than enough. God Almighty is my reward worth living for. God Almighty is more than enough. Mike says that's B flat on more and C flat on me. They're getting ready for church. Nothing is better than this. I talk to Karen. She's had her back turned to me long enough and she says that’s because I'm behind her. I see some new members. I pray for the Lord to bless them. If you're new to Abundant Life ministries and I see you here,, I’ll likely be praying for you to be blessed. All apologies. Please pray for Mom’s new business, West Shore. It’s mortgage. Glory to God Almighty. nineteen:06 singing begins. The church is getting in gear. Mike is pumping us up because we’re beleaguered. Lift up your voice and lift up the Sovereign Lord’s name. Over all the earth God Almighty reigns in power. Reign in me again. At the foot of the cross where grace and suffering meet. God Almighty won my heart. Wear forgiveness like a crown. I can trade these ashes in for beauty. God Almighty is my supply. Jesus is my coming King. My everything. Please pray for Haiti. For organizing. For supplies. For peace. For hope and joy. For calmness. Pray for a Christian community to prevail throughout all Haiti afterward. Even now. Introduce yourself to somebody you do not know. I meet Paula and Tom and I thought it was a first time,, but they say we met last week,. I pray for Peggie and Jerry, who I met Sunday and are not here. Oh, I see somebody. I meet her. She's Amanda. Please pray for Church of God Almighty world missions. They're the most effective arm of the Church of God Almighty. I see the offering plate and drop a 5 toward it that goes to the floor. William puts it in his pocket. I frown and point to the plate and he puts it in there. Pastor Anthony will teach twenty minutes then we’ll talk. It’s his oldest child’s 19th birthday. She was a cone head baby like my nephew Jacobi. Doctor put a screw in her head and pulled her out. The Old Covenant is mentioned 300 times in the Old Testament.

That's foreign to us. We understand Covenants like a wedding. Cut cake. Exchange vows. Light candles., wedding band. Getting a heifer for a sacrifice was common. It showed they were serious. Noah Biography
also spelled Noe,
The hero of the biblical Flood story in the Old Testament book of Genesis, the originator of vineyard cultivation, and, as the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the representative head of a Semitic genealogical line. A synthesis of at least three biblical source traditions, Noah is the image of the righteous man made party to a Covenant with Yahweh, the God Almighty of Israel, in which nature's future protection against catastrophe is assured.
Noah appears in Genesis 5:29
29 and he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, which cometh because of the ground which Jehovah hath cursed.
as the son of Lamech and ninth in descent from Adam. In the story of the Deluge (Genesis 6:11–9:19),
Genesis 6:11-9:19
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die.
18 But I will establish my Covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Genesis 7
1 And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female:
3 of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground.
5 And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground,
9 there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14 they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
23 And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
2 the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; With all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; As the green herb have I given you all.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require; At the hand of every beast will I require it. And at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: For in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my Covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you. Of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my Covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the Covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a Covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
15 and I will remember my Covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting Covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the Covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.
Genesis 6:8
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
Genesis 9:20-27
20 And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard:
21 and he drank of the wine, and was drunken. And he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
27 God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
He is represented as the patriarch who, because of his blameless piety, was chosen by God Almighty to perpetuate the human race after his wicked contemporaries had perished in the Flood. A righteous man, Noah “found favour in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8). Thus, when God Almighty beheld the corruption of the earth and determined to destroy it, he gave Noah divine warning of the impending disaster and made a Covenant with him, promising to save him and his family. Noah was instructed to build an ark, and in accordance with God Almighty's instructions he took into the ark male and female specimens of all the world's species of animals, from which the stocks might be replenished. Consequently, according to this narrative, the entire surviving human race descended from Noah's three sons. Such a genealogy sets a universal frame within which the subsequent role of Abraham, as the father of Israel's faith, could assume its proper dimensions. The story of the Flood has close affinities with Babylonian traditions of apocalyptic floods in which Utnapishtim plays the part corresponding to that of Noah. These mythologies are the source of such features of the biblical Flood story as the building and provisioning of the ark, its flotation, and the subsidence of the waters, as well as the part played by the human protagonist. Tablet XI of the Gilgamesh epic introduces Utnapishtim, who, like Noah, survived cosmic destruction by heeding divine instruction to build an ark. The religious meaning of the Flood is conveyed after Noah's heroic survival. He then built an altar on which he offered burnt sacrifices to God Almighty, who then bound himself to a pact never again to curse the earth on man's account. God Almighty then set a rainbow in the sky as a visible guarantee of his promise in this Covenant. God Almighty also renewed his commands given at creation but with two changes: man could now kill animals and eat meat, and the murder of a man would be punished by men. Despite the tangible similarities of the Mesopotamian and biblical myths of the flood, the biblical story has a unique Hebraic perspective. In the Babylonian story the destruction of the flood was the result of a disagreement among the gods; in Genesis it resulted from the moral corruption of human history. The primitive polytheism of the Mesopotamian versions is transformed in the biblical story into an affirmation of the omnipotence and benevolence of the one righteous God Almighty. Again, following their survival, Utnapishtim and his wife are admitted to the circle of the immortal gods; but Noah and his family are commanded to undertake the renewal of history. The narrative concerning Noah in Genesis 9:20–27 belongs to a different cycle, which seems to be unrelated to the Flood story.
Genesis 9:20-27 (New International Version)
20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded [a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father's nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father's nakedness.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
"Cursed be Canaan!
The lowest of slaves
will he be to his brothers."
26 He also said,
"Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem!
May Canaan be the slave of Shem. [b]
27 May God extend the territory of Japheth [c] ;
may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,
and may Canaan be his [d] slave."
In the latter, Noah's sons are married and their wives accompany them in the ark; but in this narrative they would seem to be unmarried, nor does the shameless drunkenness of Noah accord well with the character of the pious hero of the Flood story. Three different themes may be traced in Genesis 9:20–27: first, the passage attributes the beginnings of agriculture, and in particular the cultivation of the vine, to Noah; second, it attempts to provide, in the persons of Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, ancestors for three of the races of mankind and to account in some degree for their historic relations; and third, by its censure of Canaan, it offers a veiled justification for the later Israelite conquest and subjugation of the Canaanites. Noah's drunkenness and the disrespect it provokes in his son Ham result in Noah's laying of a curse on Ham's son Canaan. This incident may symbolize the ethnic and social division of Palestine: the Israelites (from the line of Shem) will separate from the pre-Israelite population of Canaan (which is depicted as licentious), who will live in subjection to the Hebrews. The symbolic figure of Noah was known in ancient Israel, before the compilation of the Pentateuch. Ezekiel (14:14, 20) speaks of him as a prototype of the righteous man who, alone among the Israelites, would be spared God Almighty's vengeance. In the New Testament, Noah is mentioned in the genealogy of the Gospel According to Luke (3:36) that delineates Jesus' descent from Adam. Jesus also uses the story of the Flood that came on a worldly generation of men “in the days of Noah” as an example of Baptism, and Noah is depicted as a preacher of repentance to the men of his time, itself a predominant theme in Jewish apocryphal and rabbinical writings.

9 So the LORD said to him, "Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon."
That's the blood Covenant. Termed life giving. It was bloodshed. Jesus died and shed blood for everybody and the world doesn’t care. The Covenant helps you understand. Abraham knew heifer meant it was serious. Walk of death Covenant. Animal cut open by 2 people in a field. Partners walk through masses of blood. Walk through a circle in figure 8. 6. mark on body. Tattoo symbolizing Covenant. Mark on body. Striking hands was cut open wrists. Wrangled blood. Put gunpowder on the abrasion. Leaving mark. That's where raising your hand to show your mark cane from. It shows their enemies are your enemy and their friends are your friends. It also showed if you were of an enemy or friendly clan. It showed if you have a Covenant partner. Power is in numbers. Somebody has your back. And you are in Covenant with Him. Shaking hands is also Covenant making. Used to hand shaking was a very big deal. I remember when my papa told me that. Shaking hands was a Covenant making ceremony. You also cut yourself and rub the abrasions together.
Is 49:sixteen
It was a man thing. Men were the ones responsible raising children. That may be a reason for the hardship today. A reversal in roles. If you had responsibility, you had authority. Jesus gave His life. man had authority.

7 Covenant of blessings and cursings. Cut heifer. Walk through the pieces. Strike hands. The Bible blessed will be your
There's a backside to every Covenant. The car seller tells you all of the good things then very, very quickly says the bad. Contracts. You are cursed if you violate. 8 Covenant. meal,. You feed each other first a few bites. Like groom and bride. Feeding each other cake. That's symbolism. And facing each other in an open field with their name in the middle. Like when God Almighty made a Covenant with Abram by giving. Him h and a of His name and making him Abraham. God Almighty was making him a Covenant partner. Also, God Almighty takes Abraham’s name. “The God Almighty of Abraham.” God Almighty came in Covenant with Him. Yawh means oath making God Almighty. Ancient Hebrew had no vowels. I think of my preacher when I was 19, 1.5 decades ago!, and his showing me a sign on the wall. A decoration. It was Hebrew writing,, reading right to left and he said it had no vowels,. Granny was often going to church with records and such because she was the secretary and that was when he showed me. The a was put in Yawh for the pronunciation. God Almighty put ha on Abram and h on Sara, (which is how my brother’s baby mama spells her name, to form a Covenant with them. Holy Spirit is Holy Nuna. The Bible doesn’t say a lot about tattoo. It makes me think about the way a woman rejecting me makes me want to have nothing ever to do with her after God Almighty told me to let the reject decide that the first week of renewal. Blood shed by Jesus had to have fallen on the ground. To violate the blood was to get a curse. God Almighty showing commitment. Jews just live by Old Testament. They strictly follow the law and love the Torah. Messianic churches know how to worship God Almighty. Its unbelievable how many actors are Jews. The Bible says not to get a tattoo, but is it talking about for the dead?
1.Leviticus 19:28
" 'Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.[-] It is said tattoos are a hindrance. That's opinion. The Passover meal is a Covenant. How do you feel about it? I say it helps me come to grips with things that have happened to me. With the the decisions of other people that display their character.

12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind.

The blogs I make are no good unless they're reaching souls and that's no good unless it’s followed through. Doers versus hearers. I read yesterday that John Wayne was converted, but was in a coma. And naysayers said that doesn’t count. But I kept thinking of the verse whosever confesseth the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior shall be saved. 13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Whoever has always stood out because it means everybody, everyone, all and sundry, one and all, each one, each person, and every person. That's you and me. I know my little brother was in the church very, very much as a child. I know Dad was too. Both suicides senseless. Both embroiled with the dark side. Both had moms huge church goers. So John Wayne, dad, and brother in heaven we won't know till we get there, if we get there. A majority of the world will be going to where the path of destruction goes. My great uncle, the rocket scientist, bio physicist, thermo nuclear, ok, I don't know them all, lives in a pod home in Florida. I finally had him. do you know what pod means? He didn't! I said path of destruction. That reminds me of where you can let lessons lead you. I was so mad after trusted loved ones lied to me that I started drinking and was in a wreck that led to a traumatic brain injury, decade of rehab, and countless surgeries…. I look back and I was in a hospital bed so many times I couldn't begin to country the occasions. All of it began when I was sixteen. Believing an untruth. It was an immature decision to test my addictive personally. But it began a cycle that is still punishing me. I don't have my license and at 34 years old I'm still living with my mom. Sure, 181 women having turned me down sent me into a depression that I finally pulled out of. Then I saw the Light. I realized the curse isn't a curse but a blessing. Too many opinions from the horse’s mouth have helped me reach my conclusion. Even comedians on TV say it as a joke, but if you look at it with a real perspective,, you see they're telling the truth. My POD uncle is a great guy and it’s hard to believe he’s kenned to me. you get a feel for his wisdom just by standing near him. And you can tell he goes through a lot, but you can tell he gleans wisdom from it like you're supposed to do. Whence seated,, I see it’s 4 seconds till church. Are you ready to praise the Lord!? Pastor Anthony is spotted 9:37.a. when God found me, my whole world changed. In the risen Son. He turned my darkness to light. Not ashamed of the gospel Lord. The galaxies declare the Savior’s worth. I'm getting ministered by the singing and I feel good this early in the morning. At the very, very beginning of the church. I love who and where I am. That's got to be the Lord Almighty’s fault. Blessings and honor. Glory, and, power., magnificence, splendor, beauty, wonder, grandeur, brilliance be to our God forever and ever. God is great. first time visitors, fill out a membership card and welcome. Fuel of Vision gets a huge round of applaud. We’re going over the Covenant on Wednesdays—7p. Superbowl. Ironmen. Sign up. It'll be February 7. give to Church of God world missions and a hundred percent of the offering makes it to Haiti. Pray for Haiti. Gerald and Peggy have a seat by me.

Previous word: medicine. Next word: meditation.
Get in alignment with Jesus. you'll be prosperous.
Joshua 1:8
Joshua 1:8
8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that YOU may be careful to do everything written in it. Then YOU will be prosperous and successful.
Notice in the above passage, Yahweh is speaking to Joshua, and He says, not to let the Book of the Law depart from the mouth. How is Joshua commanded to keep the admonition? It is by meditating, hagah- speaking out loud, the words of the Book of the Law.
OUT LOUD
Hagah also means to utter- speak, to mutter, to roar or groan, the point of hagah is that it is out loud, not silent internal pondering.
The word Hagah shows up the most in the book of Psalms, which was Israel's song book. Throughout the Psalms, which were sung aloud, there is an emphasis on the righteous person's continual meditation!
Psalms 1:2
But his delight is in the law of YHVH, and on his law he meditates (hagah) day and night.
It is important to understand that because every home did not contain the scriptures, a torah scroll being extremely expensive, that the people would learn the scriptures through verbal repetition during the gatherings at the temple. Then the repetition of scripture became the hagah, meditation.
The true biblical concept of meditation may be observed today in many synagogues, and at the Western Wall in Jerusalem; as the scriptures are meditated upon or hagah, spoken out loud!
HIS WORKS
There are many ways to hagah; we can meditate on the wonderful mighty majestic works of our Creator!
Psalms 143:5
I remember the days of long ago; I meditate (hagah) on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
Psalms 77:12
I will meditate (hagah) on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds.
Hagah is the vocal verbalization of God's Word and his mighty wonders. It is the pouring out of our hearts, through our mouth, the praise and adoration of our great God!
Give, feed the church. Have purity. Prayer. Worthy is the Lord Almighty Who was slain. Sing a new song to Him who sits on heaven’s mercy seat. to the coming King. Jesus’ name is power,, breath,, and living water. Yawn, I read all day yesterday and last night. 8:fifty-nine Pastor Anthony is spotted. Worship God with your lips. Magnify God. get engaged in God. when praises go up, blessings come down. yokes are broken. God will give you fulfillment. Fellowship. Touch. Fresh anointing. I think of what God told me last night. The lie told to me by loved ones was blamed on the market. That makes it easy to do what I need to do though nobody agrees with it., I can say my destiny is the blame. It’s amazing what Sunday school is about. I8 never knew it before! I remember visiting my old apartment and seeing a woman excited that I had moved back. I disappointed her by saying I'm just cleaning the carpet to never return. She frowned. I said you should've taken the opportunity when you had it. these thoughts are miraculously before the service and Sunday school. If you don't believe it, you don't believe it. So? I take note of my thoughts because it’s fun to see if they're repeated. Somebody’s body, said Pastor Anthony, was just healed. I'm excited about that. maybe me. somebody,, says he,, just got a creative idea for their financial trouble. Resist the devil and he will flee. Do not walk in defeat. Lol, I just remember writing 1,845 words ago, ‘After loved ones lied to me, my extreme bitterness meant everybody quit picking on me.’ That was written yesterday. God has placed us in a place of dominion. We adore God. I just remembered when Gerry’s daughter learned I was planning on visiting Abundant Life ministries, she said her mom goes there and it has a hip pastor and it does. it’s nice 2bg back to the 8:30 service. God is good all the time. Set your goal. The Chinas preacher,, very, very educated man, is coming. Hung Yang. He's been arrested 2 times. Cannot go back to China 5 years. Some of our family is back. Worship is an expression of your love to God. love and grow together. You have to deal with people. they're the biggest problem. If there were no people,, hmmm. I think of how I wouldn't be have been rejected by 181 women if that were. Then again, it’s happened so many times I've begun looking it. but I also got burned out with it. dis⋅ci⋅ple

Share the Word with others. Have the heart of the matter. This is speaking to my burden. As I look at people,, I oft think are they going to the lake. My one on One encounter showed me how real God is. Share Jesus with others. Embrace the message. Pastor Anthony and a clerk were talking about what is wrong with the world.

I won't say what I said. I was only 11. please pray for the Pledge and the Bible to be put back in the schools. We have prayer.

Still, the administration's new budget to be released Monday says deficits over the next decade will average 4.5 percent of the size of the economy, a level which economists say is dangerously high if not addressed, said the congressional official. The official was not authorized to discuss the budget before its public release.

of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: 20 teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

We have prayer. GO, send, welcome, share the Gospel, the good news. Before Sunday School, I go to the bathroom and meet Frankie. He liked the service and says he’ll be back for a second visit. I tell him John Wayne’s lawyer was Frank Belcher and we’re on Belcher road. I have a seat in the only seat. It’s by Marlo. She says I have to behave. I say I always behave. Les jokes it mighty be bad, but at least I'm behaving. We laugh. I have a mint in my mouth. I yawn. I was reading all day and night yesterday. Marlo gets onto me because I don't cover my mouth when I yawn. Some people know more about stars than they do about the Bible characters. Pastor Anthony always impresses me with his vast knowledge for the Bible characters. We celebrate to see people get what they deserve. We owe a debt to society. A man got the chair for many murders. Before it cane time,, he got saved and agreed he deserves the chair. He bravely took it and bravely died. See it on a Spiritual realm. Adam and Eve had paradise. Just don't eat the fruit of knowledge. But they did. Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. We’re bad. Just like we say they got what they deserved. How about us? God delivers, but we still have to deal with consequences.

20 The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him.
Ernestine was born to an unChristian family. Made up her mind to change. If we hate our brother we’re as good as a murderer. We need to pray. it’s easy to blame people. we like to blame Adam and Eve. God is saying it’s time I owe up to what you did.
Ezekiel 18:1-4 (New International Version)
Ezekiel 18
The Soul Who Sins Will Die
1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel:
" 'The fathers eat sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on edge'?
3 "As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. 4 For every living soul belongs to me, the father as well as the son—both alike belong to me. The soul who sins is the one who will die.
we cannot quit that today. We cannot blame our past.
Ezekiel 18:15-18 (New International Version)
15 "He does not eat at the mountain shrines
or look to the idols of the house of Israel.
He does not defile his neighbor's wife.
16 He does not oppress anyone
or require a pledge for a loan.
He does not commit robbery
but gives his food to the hungry
and provides clothing for the naked.
17 He withholds his hand from sin [a]
and takes no usury or excessive interest.
He keeps my laws and follows my decrees.
He will not die for his father's sin; he will surely live. 18 But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people.
God is very plain here. Story of Achan. Joshua 7 (The Message)
Joshua 7
Achan
1 Then the People of Israel violated the holy curse. Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah of the tribe of Judah, took some of the cursed things. God became angry with the People of Israel. 2 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai (The Ruin), which is near Beth Aven just east of Bethel. He instructed them, "Go up and spy out the land." The men went up and spied out Ai.
3 They returned to Joshua and reported, "Don't bother sending a lot of people—two or three thousand men are enough to defeat Ai. Don't wear out the whole army; there aren't that many people there."
4-5 So three thousand men went up—and then fled in defeat before the men of Ai! The men of Ai killed thirty-six—chased them from the city gate as far as The Quarries, killing them at the descent. The heart of the people sank, all spirit knocked out of them.
6 Joshua ripped his clothes and fell on his face to the ground before the Chest of God, he and the leaders throwing dirt on their heads, prostrate until evening.
7-9 Joshua said, "Oh, oh, oh...Master, God. Why did you insist on bringing this people across the Jordan? To make us victims of the Amorites? To wipe us out? Why didn't we just settle down on the east side of the Jordan? Oh, Master, what can I say after this, after Israel has been run off by its enemies? When the Canaanites and all the others living here get wind of this, they'll gang up on us and make short work of us—and then how will you keep up your reputation?"
10-12 God said to Joshua, "Get up. Why are you groveling? Israel has sinned: They've broken the covenant I commanded them; they've taken forbidden plunder—stolen and then covered up the theft, squirreling it away with their own stuff. The People of Israel can no longer look their enemies in the eye—they themselves are plunder. I can't continue with you if you don't rid yourselves of the cursed things.
13 "So get started. Purify the people. Tell them: Get ready for tomorrow by purifying yourselves. For this is what God, the God of Israel, says: There are cursed things in the camp. You won't be able to face your enemies until you have gotten rid of these cursed things.
14-15 "First thing in the morning you will be called up by tribes. The tribe God names will come up clan by clan; the clan God names will come up family by family; and the family God names will come up man by man. The person found with the cursed things will be burned, he and everything he has, because he broke God's covenant and did this despicable thing in Israel."
16-18 Joshua was up at the crack of dawn and called Israel up tribe by tribe. The tribe of Judah was singled out. Then he called up the clans and singled out the Zerahites. He called up the Zerahite families and singled out the Zabdi family. He called up the family members one by one and singled out Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah of the tribe of Judah.
19 Joshua spoke to Achan, "My son, give glory to God, the God of Israel. Make your confession to him. Tell me what you did. Don't keep back anything from me."
20-21 Achan answered Joshua, "It's true. I sinned against God, the God of Israel. This is how I did it. In the plunder I spotted a beautiful Shinar robe, two hundred shekels of silver, and a fifty-shekel bar of gold, and I coveted and took them. They are buried in my tent with the silver at the bottom."
22-23 Joshua sent off messengers. They ran to the tent. And there it was, buried in the tent with the silver at the bottom. They took the stuff from the tent and brought it to Joshua and to all the People of Israel and spread it out before God.
24 Joshua took Achan son of Zerah, took the silver, the robe, the gold bar, his sons and daughters, his ox, donkey, sheep, and tent—everything connected with him. All Israel was there. They led them off to the Valley of Achor (Trouble Valley).
25-26 Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? God will now trouble you. Today!" And all Israel stoned him—burned him with fire and stoned him with stones. They piled a huge pile of stones over him. It's still there. Only then did God turn from his hot anger. That's how the place came to be called Trouble Valley right up to the present time.

God is saying it doesn’t hold anymore. God is specific. The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old Testament
The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20. They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt:
"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'
SIX: 'You shall not murder.'
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
The 10 Commandments - Christ's Summation in the New Testament
About 1,400 years later, the 10 Commandments were summed up in the New Testament at Matthew 22, when Jesus was confronted by the religious "experts" of the day:
We say we’d never steal. Marlo finds the place in my book. Ezekiel isn't easy for me to find. I've been a huge church goer fifteen yrs, surprise! surprise!
Matthew 22:19-23 (New International Version)
19Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, 20and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
21"Caesar's," they replied.
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
22When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
Marriage at the Resurrection
23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
This is before Jesus. there was a store 1x. the dad worked there often like the aged bag boys. He shortchanged everybody! 5 cents EVERY TIME! Then his son, the owner, got addicted to crack. Lost the store, home,, marriage,, everything. Did the dad cause it? people taking different route from their sinning parents are admirable. You make the choice. Depression in your family you can decide to break the generational curse. I think of Dad and brother’s suicide. But I also think of their drug use. Alcohol too. In Jamaica, a boy learned his parents were in jail. Children have no power over their parents. You are responsible for you.
21"Caesar's," they replied.
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
If your family has a history of heart disease, you can have a healthy diet. Window of opportunity. Open for next generation. The enemy clogs your eyes and ears. But you can stop. I was always told I have an addictive personality. Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! Don't drink or do drugs! So when I started, I was already programmed I'd get addicted. There's a chance I'd tried and let it alone had I not been. I think my brother killed himself because he’d been always told how addictive he was. We have to be extremely careful what we say. There was a boy in a youth group. Every time the church did something,, he was there. He took part in its needs. He was always there. He was to be in the cast for the revival. But he wore a disputable rock shirt. Somebody told him he wasn't welcome with that shirt on. He went home. Didn't go back. He got on the path of destruction. today he leads a life of crime. Stolen credit cards, drugs, porn, profanity, violence, the works. Judging and putting people down loses the people. when you point at somebody,, 4 fingers are pointing back at you. God is always saying beyond mistakes, you can come back no matter what happened to you.
When I reach evening smallgroup and they see I'm in shorts, they're amazed. I tell how very, very cold nature I was as a teen then my traumatic brain injury led to an answered prayer. Also, I'm no longer shy. Another answered prayer. It’s 18:0.3 and I'm testifying about the loss of something I severely hated as a teen. Mom and Dad’s dad were very, very cold nature too. I guess Mom still is. I know it. I remember how leaving Georgia climate to Florida climate then Ecuador climate had me very, very shocked. Being in the midst of so much poverty was shocking. 5 people are in here. I see a came and remember my came days. I threw every came put in my hand in a coma. Where's Pastor Ritchie? They send me to knock on his door. I do and nobody answers. The Holy Spirit takes over the service sometimes and people get touched and it’s very, very great. And we need that. the Holy Spirit coming down. the Holy Spirit blessing your life. what a wonderful feel. Young people go to the altar and that's a great sight. God is praying out the Holy Spirit. In the last days God is praying out the Holy Spirit. Speaker is here in the Spirit. We’re reading the Word. God is ministering us and I'm feeling like things are happening for a reason. God had something better to feed us with. Where 2 or 3 gather in Jesus’ name,, there He is also. God has shown me His wonderful kindness. We’re talking about the Bible and I'm personally wondering why we don't do this more often. Think back. Be still. Be quiet. We feel the Lord and I keep wondering why we don't do this more. Look at the past. See where you are closer to the Lord. God never fails us. Hebrews 13:5-6 (New International Version)
5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."[a] 6So we say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?"[b]
Matthew 24
Signs of the End of the Age
1Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2"Do you see all these things?" he asked. "I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."
3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"
4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[a]' and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15"So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,'[b] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. 18Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. 22If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false gods and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time.
26"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29"Immediately after the distress of those days
" 'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'[c]
30"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[d]is near, right at the door. 34I tell you the truth, this generation[e] will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
The Day and Hour Unknown
36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,' 49and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
God keeps saying be ye ready. "be" is a very common word, and was not included in your search.

5 Amaziah called the people of Judah together and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds for all Judah and Benjamin.

worship the LORD in the splendor of his [a] holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
Sirion [b] like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD strikes
with flashes of lightning.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks [c]
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
10 The LORD sits [d] enthroned over the flood;
the LORD is enthroned as King forever.
11 The LORD gives strength to his people;
the LORD blesses his people with peace.
Giving. God the praise He deserves is impossible. Meshack, Shadrack, and Abednego showed us the faith we should have. Hold to Jesus or suffer hell on earth. There's a light on the end of the tunnel. Except when I had a one on One encounter of God, I saw vast darkness. That's because my eyes couldn't comprehend God’s righteousness. 1 Peter 4:12 (New International Version)
Suffering for Being a Christian
12Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. Meshack, Shadrack, and Abednego refused to bow to a god. make up your mind. Have zeal in you for God. Job lost everything. He couldn't find God anywhere he looked. Job said, “Though God slay me, yet will I trust Him.” we come to God’s temple to worship Him. others can see the sanctity and truth of God’s people. God’s love is so deep nobody can preach it the same way. God’s holiness is powerful. If you are away from God,, you are without hope of eternity. Do not say you are a sinner saved by grace. Hebrews 10:26-29 (New International Version)
26If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Confession
Daniel's Prayer, from Daniel 9
by Robert C. Stone
In 1872, Dwight L. Moody attended an early morning meeting in a hay mow (the place they store hay) in Ireland. At the meeting he heard a man quietly say,
"The world has yet to see what God can do with, and for, and through, and in, the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to God's will."
Years later, Moody was seated high up in Charles Spurgeon's tabernacle in London, and Spurgeon used those same words in his message. Moody bowed his head and prayed, "By the power of the Holy Spirit, I will be that man." God honored Moody with a ministry that has touched lives even to this day. In spite of his many human frailties, one thing marked Moody, according to this biography. He would very readily confess his shortcomings and would often make public apology or private confession when he reviewed the impact of his negative behavior.
This quality of humble confession has marked many people whom God has used, before and since Moody—especially those who have been used of God in prayer! Confession ought to be an important part of our lives as followers of Jesus. The New Testament word for confession means literally, "to say the same things." It is agreeing with God's evaluation; admitting to what He already thinks concerning our sin or the truth. Confession, however, is a practice we fail to exercise as often as we should. It is too easy to take sin in stride; to shrug it off with a quick reminder of God's forgiveness, to say in essence, "Oh Lord, I messed up. Thanks for your forgiveness." The word confession, however, means to admit fully to our guilt.
One of the reasons we don't confess our sins completely to God, is because a tremendous amount of pain is involved in true confession. It's painful to confess when we recognize our responsibility to change that which we have told God we're doing. When we come to Him and say, "Lord, I have sinned...," implicit in the confession is that we won't try to hang onto that sin anymore.
Certainly it is not God's intention that we writhe under confession, nor remain guilty. Sincere confession of our sins, however, involves an admission of how God feels about our sin, followed by a separation from it.
One of the most striking illustrations of a confessional person is Daniel himself. In light of his seeming exemplary behavior, it is shocking to see this quality in him. On the surface, nothing in the book to indicates he was guilty of any misbehavior, yet Daniel openly confessed sin.
Fortunately for us, Daniel 9 gives us his extended prayer of confession. This prayer will give us deeper insights into Daniel's heart, as well as encourage us in this very practical area of our own lives. God has used my study of this passage on several occasions to bring about some badly needed correction in my life. I'm encouraged by the impact I've experienced, thanks to Daniel's example. Therefore, I believe the prayer he prays in Daniel 9 is worthy of study because of who prayed it, how he prayed it, and the answers he received.
David repented of his secret sins. If you repent, you are forgiven. Avoid sin. You are in the world not of the world. Touch not the unclean. David
Was sincere in prayer, visibly after God’s heart. Matthew 7:7 (New International Version)
Ask, Seek, Knock
7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Avoid sin or get circumstances. Pray like Daniel. are you free indeed? Jesus is calling today. Go to the cross. Have your sins washed away. Exchanging riches of Jesus’ grace. We cannot see that right now. We see just through the glass darkly. We hyv2hv a change before we see God. by grace you are saved through faith. We belong to the family of God. people miss the church after they leave it. pray for those members. They want to return. God saved you for a purpose. Cows where a bell, so you'll know where they are. Christians do not need to have a bell to know where they are. Know what you are talking about. The same work can be done in different ways. Touch people your way. the lady’s accusers left. Jesus asked where they are. She said they left. He said they don't accuse you and neither do I. sin no more. There'll always be critics. Jesus was railed for healing on the Sabbath.

1 David asked, "Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
2 Now there was a servant of Saul's household named Ziba. They called him to appear before David, and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?"
"Your servant," he replied.
3 The king asked, "Is there no one still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show God's kindness?"
Ziba answered the king, "There is still a son of Jonathan; he is crippled in both feet."

Matthew 19:14
14Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Mark 10:14
14When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God Almighty belongs to such as these. Feed the Spirit and deny the flesh. I've read in the backyard for a month, front yard a month, and now I'm back in the backyard again. It’s refreshing to change sometimes. Most of the day I'm proofreading. I've always pushed, pushed, pushed myself till I can no more. The pool man said I was reading a year ago when he was also here then too. The more you push your muscles, the stronger they get. Tolerance works the same way. The more you tolerate, the more tolerable you become. If you are more patient, Lord Jesus is able to do more with you. The devil attacking marriage is an example. The more intolerable spouses are, the more divorce there'll be. We’re getting used to convenience. Remote control, climate control, and surround sound. The comfort is much vaster. We no longer use out houses. Ice box. Lantern and sometimes we have fire places, but do not always use them for need. DVDs. Satellites. Electricity. We’re making ourselves more and more spoiled. Divorce comes because fewer people are getting their way. I'm gracious for the 181 rejections I've had because of the paradigm shift those rejections have given me. The sermon on not being excellent minded hit home because I use my 181 rejections as a reason to quit asking anybody out.
On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.1 Corinthians 16:2 History repeats itself. Fads come and go. Very often returning. Hair style does that a lot. Bell bottoms were worn by some people and still some people are trying to make them big again. But a lot of people are afraid of being “uncool.” My gf unserious broke up with me because she found out I gave the quarterback’s gf a ride home from a party. Big deal. Wash your hands when you have the chance. Do not procrastinate. Habit 1: Be Proactive: Principles of Personal Choice ----

You cannot hustle a hustler. In my pool hustling days, I'd make the opponent think he was better by keeping the game near and losing to him. He'd put a dollar in to play another game to match the pot every time he won. You have that liberty as the winner; not adding. The pot grows and grows then you win because you are better. When I had a doctor making out like if I do not let him operate on me RIGHT NOW, I’ll die. Ooh, scary. But he also said if he operates on me, my limp and speech and sight will be fixed. I knew you cannot make a bruise(s) go away like that. So that told me the rest of what he said was a lie. I tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried to get out of his operating on me. No way, I was told. You'll die. My point wasn't proven till the next doctor found he left the shunt 1 quarter inch from where it belonged. If I hadn't hustled so many people on the pool table like I had, I wouldn't have picked up on the hustling like I did. It was complete humiliation, but it gave me a lesson to share. Now I'm blessed when I share it. A rehab manager put me in a college I didn't want to attend. I wanted UGA. But she only had bad to say. That put my antennae. I want to go to UGA. No, she said, they’ll pick on you. Ridicule you. I knew the college students are a lot more burdened down by studies to pick like that. Why not try? She kept saying bad stuff. Then the college I attended that I DID not want to attend put me in 4 overwhelming classes and lied about inability to get permission to withdraw from any of the classes. Crushing my head against a cement wall proved how stupid I am. What hurt the most was the people lying to me called themselves a Christian college. It’s a weakness. Getting lied to is something I cannot tolerate. But at least I know that. Now I know better than trusting humans. I just looked up the pro athlete whose apartment I was leaving the night of my traumatic brain injury and saw he's made 30 touchdowns. I'm so happy for him! He is the nicest guy I ever met!! Sometimes you have to know when to deny yourself. Always, yes, but times are especially important. Like in college, we had wrestling matches in the dorm. I very badly wanted to show them what growing up with the Georgia welter-weight in kickboxing and wrestling little brother will do for you. But the shunt in my head wouldn't be let me. I had seen some harsh movements and hitting the floor hard. But the moves told me how very inexperienced they were. Little did I know years later I will be in a smallgroup with an Olympic wrestler, bronze medalist. Papa always said John Wayne was his “hero” because that's what he had always said as a boy. He saw EVERY western. I read John Wayne’s voice was a big reason he had made it so big because when the movies started sound. New to film and that made John Wayne a great pick for the way his voice sounded. Then the stardom made people love him and go to the movie he was in because he was in it. That's why the flesh wants to blind you to get you on a cycle to lead you to destruction to lead you to obliteration to lead you to annihilation to lead you to ruin. In the process, the devil will have people joining you. But if you always stay near the Lord, it won't happen that way. I was in a Missions Minded prayer group maybe a year. We prayed for missionaries as the Holy Spirit gave us voice not necessarily in tongues. Sometimes that's what came out. But as others prayed, God Almighty would put on your heart what you would pray. it helped the group in their praying. It also helped your praying for the missionaries when you were alone. But I must've prayed something in a special way that led to my Perspectives missionary class I later took like in years. The more you learn about missions, the more you see the need in missions. The more you support missions, the more you are blessed. If you feel greater zeal to support the missionaries, you will further support the missionaries. That's why it’s good to narrate greater detail about missionaries. But the most moving impact I ever had was when I went to Ecuador as a missionary, and did everything a missionary would do, and was a missionary. We’re in a Biblical march toward Apocalypse. The flesh wants to come between you and God Almighty. The thing that got the dinosaurs could be what gets us and it could happen anytime. He Way to Happiness God Almighty blesses those people who refuse evil advice and won't follow sinners or join in sneering at God Almighty. Instead, the Law of the LORD makes them happy, and they think about it day and night. They are like trees growing beside a stream, trees that produce fruit in season and always have leaves. Those people succeed in everything they do. That isn't true of those who are evil, because they are like straw blown by the wind. Sinners won't have an excuse on the day of judgment, and they won't have a place with the people of God Almighty. The LORD protects everyone who follows him, but the wicked follow a road that leads to ruin. This is a paragraph in the fiction I'm proofreading. Bring the pieces together, so you can see the whole. Create a new discipline management system. Begin from a new perspective. Instead of "the punishment fits the crime," an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When you see trouble coming, taking care of it right away is wise and not lazy. That's what’s so sad about the market. The looming threat of nuclear war. We have the technology to explode the entire earth. If you are not getting your Spiritual needs fulfilled, you'll be on a trek, seeking fulfillment. An unfulfilled Spirit is an empowered flesh is a hand full of trouble. Fill your day with the Gospel through music, reading the Bible, praying, fasting, self-denial, and etc. Talk about the goodness of Jesus with others. You'll feel Jesus come near when you do that. With a well fed Spirit, you'll get gratuitous warnings about who and what to avoid. I do the numbers like this. I feel the Spirit then I look at the numbers of what I feel. Caution-avoid-deny lev for 3 then 1 for a and 4 for d lev1:4…. Let's see what it says: Leviticus 1:4 (New International Version) 4 He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. [-] That speaks particularly to me about the things to avoid to be better used by Jesus. I do not want to go where the Lord doesn’t want me. To sacrifice is to give up, and that tells me to go a different way than I want to go. We shall all die. But we’ll be changed in the twinkling of an eye. I have to forgo the way I want to go. When the flesh is luring me, I have to forfeit the invitation and let go of the earth. That's why it’s wise to not drive your stakes deeply in the earth. If you are obstructed, you cannot surrender to Jesus. When you see the fig tree bloom, you know summer is near. The details on the news shows the end is in reaching distance. I am the Lord; that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to pictured images. Isaiah 42:8 When you are trying to lose an addiction, you have to get a new surrounding. To feel the Lord more, be more recognizant of your surroundings. Is it where Jesus would be? I read John Wayne was having marriage trouble 34 years old. Lol, that's how old I am. It made me regard marriage and as usual I regard the 181 women who have rejected me and clinically turned me off. Then I read his career was the biggest factor he had marriage trouble. That helped me see why Jesus is giving. My bachelorism. It’s given my ministry time and my writing, which is always progressing. Media wants to make marriage seem called for. I tried dating and found that impossible and with that came a perspective change and a realism the more time I spend with Jesus, the better off I am. John Wayne Born: May 26, 1907 During his marriage to Josephine Saenz from 1933 to 1945, the couple had four children. I got that on the Web. After I first read it, I didn't write it down. John Wayne married Josephine 1st. Marriage to Josephine Saenz from 1933 to 1945. So 34 years old was 1941. He helped me decide closer closeness to Jesus is best. By being proud and arrogant the 181 women to reject means they left an impact. So bad in fact that I went to the doctor because of the effects. But as I see the effect and my greater time with Jesus, the eternal investments come to mind. The eternal investments were a very big deal in my Private/Christian elementary school even though we were very young. It stood out the most to me. As a teen, my very, very favorite show was Family Ties because of Alex P. Keaten, who was very, very big on investments. Now on the Spiritual realm, I'm seeing my heart lean more to my eternal investments. When Mom was filing for bankruptcy at the People’s Bank long ago, I planted seeds in the banker’s office. It was a card with a Commandment of the Ten Commandments. After we just had got in the car, there she was, handing Mom the card. Mom apologized and said I had a brain injury. Whatever. I still made an eternal investment. They last forever just like in a hundred yrs. forever is nonstop. My cousin was having problems breathing and when she got to the hospital, on the breathing machine, she stopped breathing. I just learned she had a heart attack. Please pray for her family. Her son is in jail and doesn’t know it yet. (Like my brother in jail when Granny died.) Your prayers get louder when you have the concern on your eternity. I saw a neighborhood on TV and thought of my town. Papa was an electrician/plumbing contractor, uncle a floor floorcovering technician, and my partner and I had a lawn service. I worked for all of them. That means when I go through the neighborhood, I always see a home I worked at. That's part of what made it so hard to leave the town. Similar, leaving the earth shouldn't be mad difficult compared to the investments you made in the earth and the investments you made in eternity. Do not be surprised to hear a politician talking politics. Also, when a politician is speaking, expect to hear politics. When they want to sound noble, expect them to say noble things. Seeing the poverty in Ecuador was very influential on me. I didn't laugh a very long time after we got back. The mission never left my mind. I guess it eventually did. But I don't know when. I always saw Granny giving. To the poor and it came across odd till I tried it myself. Then I saw what a drug it is. Don't get me wrong. I'd already seen that in the past. Like in Boy Scouts when we did good to people. But I'd never seen the poverty I saw there. It was impacting. Did the chemical imbalance I feel from the almost 2 hundred rejections have an addition to it, lol? Wait, getting turned off gave me a needed perspective. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds. As I write, the window man is talking to Mom. I brought my Bible in the den and set it on the couch for him to likely see it. plus he saw my bringing it. I'm into planting seeds because I care for people and I know what a huge deal eternity is. 30 years of experience gave Papa lots of insight. It’s too bad he's no longer around. His son was around it from a very, very young age. He was the 1 to tell me you can move up to a 125 amp for the church hating and lighting over load. Because of the trouble giving. Giving. The church a freezer became a hassle. I did my best to give it to vets connect. But that too is having complications. It’s stranger when you have something perfectly good and want to be a blessing to somebody, but still find holdbacks. Wait, that's perfectly logical. We’re in the world not of the world. That comes in handy to remember. After you get used to Jesus’ love, you'll probably get spoiled by it. But also you'll see the devil better. The flesh uses tactics to get you in a gullible spot. Then it has the battle won. Please pray for Mom’s office. She's about to move to a new place for employment. West Star Mortgage. Please pray they thrive. The window seller just left. Without pressuring he said he had a special plan. It was pressuring. But he said it wasn't. So who is to decide? What is different? I asked a man at Wal-mart is my voice different. He asked what is different. As the salesman was here, the oven was opened and as usual the fire alarm went off. My great, wonderful uncle just installed it. please pray my books are turned into movies with no regret. Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse hundreds of thousands of words of sermons in MY BLOGS. PLEASE PRAY EVERY PERSON WHO PASSES MY SERMONS around IS VERY, VERY GREATLY BLESSED! Everybody has a misunderstanding. If you are sinless, you have nothing to worry about.
shamed, mortified, disgraced, shown, up, embarrassed, dishonored I didn't keep my side of the deal! I was supposed to be at the church to set up chairs for discussion. It never crossed my mind! I started through my fiction proofread again. The fourth time. 2 more left after this! I have no excuse for being a delinquent! Wrath for my fallibility. I didn't keep my side of the deal. Maybe it happened for a reason. Maybe the in time was preordained. Maybe I'm trying to lighten the shame of my soul. Do you know what else I feel? I feel good that my preacher spoke to me like he did in the sermon. Change my heart, God Almighty. Make me more like You. Jesus, come and fill Your plan. Les greets me. I say I'm so mad. He says you're usually offended. I said this time it’s at myself. My fallacy. Burdened. Amazing grace. That’s on the screen. I'm thinking about it. I have a lot on my mind. But that's no excuse for what I did. Today I heard some good stuff Jimmy Carter did. I openly hear bad he did. That's good. It's who my great-granddaddy was with. The Covenant. I see some new faces in the sanctuary and I like that. it means more souls. I'm eager for the harvest, but I want to leave nobody behind. God Almighty is good and merciful. I think of Haiti out of the blue as usual and pray for them. it was untold destruction. Mike’s wife put macaroni on. They went to church and came home and saw black smoot on the ceiling and a real mess. But the mobile home was ok and after cleaning it was cleaner than ever. We’re praising and worshipping God Almighty. I'm praying for the new business Mom is in starting Monday. West Star Mortgage. Mike says he will not be defeated. A round of applause joins in with his victory. I pray for the local high speed train. Orlando-Tampa. Mike has a charred ceiling, but that mobile home is still standing! I'm very happy for him! the cross before me the world behind. Not for us, but to God Almighty’s name be the glory. Glory and honor and praise! Faster! Glory and honor and praise! Faster! Glory and honor and praise! Faster! Glory and honor and praise! Faster! Glory and honor and praise! Faster! I'm trading in my sorrows and I'm laying them down for the glory of the Lord. Every breath to the deepest part I offer all I've come to. My Father, You are all I need. I give myself unreservedly. My Jesus. My Savior. Lord, there's none like You. Mountains bow down and the seas roar at the sound of God Almighty’s Name. Pastor Anthony was just spotted and it is nineteen:27. I'm praying for Haiti. Give money to Abundant Life ministries and we will get every dime you give straight to their recovery. Church of God Almighty has people currently on the scene. The Covenant. I just looked at the class work and thought of my inability to keep my side of the deal I was in to get the chairs set up. Pray for Haiti. Covenant making ceremony. Exchange robes. You take on their identity. Doing so publicly. Blending identity. Protect each other. 3. weapons and enemies. 4. Sacrifice blood. Cut animal. Walk between them. Sacrifice life. given blood. God Almighty told Abraham to get a heifer. It was a symbol. Abraham knew it was for a Covenant. Come to terms. You sign your name now. Then there's the walk of death. It’s facing each other. In an open field. You walk a figure 8. Around a cut animal. Mark of blood. Waving of the hand in church is your showing God Almighty your mark on your skin, which of course is a symbolism. Shaking hands today is the closing of a deal. Today, in fact, Pastor Anthony closed a deal with somebody and they shook hands out of instinct. Pronouncement of blessings and cursings. They fed each other Covenant meal like bride and groom feeding each other wedding cake. Exchanging names is going in Covenant. God Almighty gave Abram ah out of Jehovah to make him Abraham. God Almighty of Abraham. God Almighty of Isaac. God Almighty of Jacob. (Please pray for my nephew, Jacob.) That's where God Almighty took on man’s names. That was number 9.
Genesis 17:1
The Covenant of Circumcision
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty [a] ; walk before me and be blameless.
Genesis 17
1And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
El means mighty. Shaddai means nurturing. God Almighty says walk before Me and be blameless.

Genesis 17:4-7
4 "As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. 5 No longer will you be called Abram [a] ; your name will be Abraham, [b] for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. 7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
Multigenerational.
Genesis 17:10-11 (New International Version)
10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.
Sign means symbol and mark. Children were greatest asset. That convicts me. After 181 rejections, I want nothing to do with romance. A woman without a child was cursed. Circumcision. Mark on man’s greatest spot of pleasure. God Almighty marks you where you procreate. Role of man has been weakened. Man is reminded daily he is in Covenant. Man has to father, love, teach, and protect his children. And direct them. Respect yourself. Pastor Anthony tried to have lunch with a Jew but found that impossible. Except at Starbucks. Children of God Almighty are important. Men, take your place as the Spiritual head of the family.
Deuteronomy 28
Blessings for Obedience
1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
Look at IF. You HAVE TO obey!
Deuteronomy 28:3-7 (New International Version)
3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
God Almighty will always keep His side. Let the forces of darkness know you are a child of God Almighty’s. prosperity- God Almighty’s desire to meet your needs without your undue stress. .
Genesis 17:11
11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.
Lavish is trouble. You cannot break room your way out of debt. You cannot make a mess and ask God Almighty to bless it. you get curses for disobedience.
Deu 28:fifteen-twenty
The curses are bigger than the blessings.
Genesis 17:23 >>
New International Version (©1984)
On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him.Bronze helmet means your prayers are bouncing back. Disobedience cuts off your blessings.
Jeremiah 7:34
34 I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, for the land will become desolate.
I think of the lady with the 35 years old boy and Mom was watching. That told me she too is getting messages. People let her know 35 isn't a boy. She said he's 34. that's how old I am!!!! Unfortunately social security goes by what she says not what I say. I had 1 come and see how I've healed and all she did was name stuff I could do. leaving the oven on was one. Plus bath water. Even climate control messed up. Everything you could possibility think of that'd go bad she said.
Jeremiah 7:33
33 Then the carcasses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away.
I just heard Barack Obama say God Almighty bless America, listening to his speech after church.
Genesis 15:11
11 Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
Mark 4:4
4As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
Birds.
Mark 4:15
15Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Look at the symbolism of birds and the enemy stealing your blessings. Abraham shewed them away. Birds are representing stealing. You have to protect yourself from the enemy. When God Almighty speaks to you, write it down.
1 Samuel 17:3-4
3 The Philistines occupied one hill and the Israelites another, with the valley between them.
4 A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. He was over nine feet [a] tall.
1 cubit equals 18”
Standoff. Goliath was taunting. David was told to leave. They decide to wait. Covenant lang. who is this punk, raising his voice against the Living God Almighty? You have to take a stand. You are of God Almighty. The flesh is a coward. Goliath is out of the Covenant I am in.

1 Samuel 17:33-35 (King James Version)
33And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
David is building his strength. David believed in himself. Look like you know somebody. You are so far in it doesn’t matter what they have. I'm glad I showed up.
1 Samuel 17:36-39 (King James Version)
36Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
38And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
39And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
Church today is Covenant kids but they are equipped with armor too big and stuff they do not need. Ask God Almighty for His ideas. Do it God Almighty’s way. David knows confidence isn't in the flesh.
1 Samuel 17:47 (King James Version)
47And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.
David won because he walked in the Covenant.
1 Samuel 18
1And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
4 exchange of identity. Exchange of belt.
2 Samuel 4:4 (King James Version)
4And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
2 sam 9:1-3
Mark on the body and David sees the mark and gains strength. He remembers.
favor, good deed, kindly, loving-kindness, merciful kindness, mercy, pity, reproach, wicked thing
From chacad; kindness; by implication (towards God Almighty) piety: rarely (by opposition) reproof, or (subject.) Beauty -- favour, good deed(-liness, -ness), kindly, (loving-)kindness, merciful (kindness), mercy, pity, reproach, wicked thing. 6
Instead of the wrath he expected he finds the circumstances of the Covenant. Mercy and blessings. He didn't know about the Covenant.
2 Samuel 9:7 (King James Version)
7And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
They were eating like they were on a cruise. David represents Jesus. Zebah represents the Holy Spirit.
Definitions of Mephibosheth on the Web:
* Meri-baal - "beloved of Baal"/"beloved of the Lord". In view of later religious sensibilities, textually later parts of the Bible rename Meribaal ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mephibosheth
He is us. Lothbar is the dry land where we live. David for man. Jesus is showing what He will do for you. Mephibosheth was a low stsandard of livg. Like us before we struck Covenant with God Almighty. we have to get our family and friends in Covenant with God Almighty.

As I walked down the hall, I thought of how I read John Wayne was a good dresser in school, but very poor. His teacher said he was very smart in class and ALWAYS knew the answer when called upon, but never volunteered to answer a question. Then I thought of how he was Papa’s “hero” and Papa married the Salutatorian. It makes me weigh tastes. The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? The Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me? Psalm 27:1 If you do not get rattled under the devil’s attack, the Sovereign Lord will be a greater force on your side. It’s a great deal we Christians get. The most powerful source to mankind. I feel for the people that try so hard and think they're doing so well, but they're not. It’s a shame. I think that's because I bought junk as a teen. A truck. I spent in parts enough to buy a new car and didn't really profit after I sold the thing. It had 4 tires. But if I'd gotten a newer vehicle, the money in the payments would've been less than the money in the parts bought for the junk. When the football team was getting positions, everybody already knew mostly what they wanted to play. Maybe coach would suggest a better position for you, but the one you chose was usually what you got. Yes, I was wingback, but Clint developed a lactose intolerance, so on defense I got his position too. (Clint won most attractive our Senior year.) Keep trying. Keep trying. Keep trying. Keep trying. That's what you have to do to succeed. Staying whole is the happiest way to live. I just read, in school, John Wayne, made a chemical with a buddy that stunk so badly school was called off. The chemical was found in his possession, hid. The name misspelled. His dad asked him to spell it. That's the way he spelled it. He was busted. So was his buddy. Getting in trouble is 1 thing many people outgrow. Stay out of trouble by obeying the rules. You'll be out of trouble if you are obedient. Then you'll have greater time to glory Jesus. That's where your eternity comes into play. It’s wisest to bless your eternity because there's never been and never will be a better investment than your eternity. Surrender to Jesus and shun sin. If you want to get paid off only on earth, you are saying you just want a temporary return. As a little boy, before I had a job, Granny paying my lunch money seemed like something that was supposed to happen. Now I appreciate it like never before. Please pray for Mom and her coworkers, whose past boss owes them sixty 9 thousand dollars!!! Her lawyer is working on the case. Please pray for my blog in Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse to be used by thousands of churches until the end of time. The cord in my vibrating cushion has a connection that couples and easily slides in or out. I cannot count the number of times the cord tried to trip me but come apart. That reminds me of safety catches to keep you from going to the lake. I was on the path of destruction when I had a traumatic brain injury. I'm taking a breather from my book I'm proofreading. All I have to do is look at it to get tired…. No, I just changed my mind. I simply will not spend the entire day proofreading this course. It has to be done 6 times and I'm on number 4. I think of the many teens that gather in the field across the street to play ball. You know some are going to the lake. Who? How can I stop that? Think of the seeds planted by media. One time Pam told me the exact time I leave for church and the exact time I return. We talked an hour a day a year. So a lot was shared. We got very, very close. I had NO idea she knew so much about my comings and goings. That speaks very, very much. People are watching you much, much better than you think. For eternity’s sake we’re on the brink. It reminds me of an old friend I called. The connection itself got stalled. I read to his step dad the Great Commission. I hope the seeds gave him a vision. To help him decide it’s not in your ride. But getting Spiritually full that's the pull. Most happiness felt. Lose the guilt. It helps you forgive the wrong done to you. You realize everything that has happened got you on the strait path and there's no better path you can be on. Oddly, the path of destruction is widest because most people are going that way. That's why odd things that seem unfair will be happening to you. Maybe they are unfair, but the perspective you get is the most rewarding perspective you could ever have. Almost 2 decades ago, I had a party in the guest house. Some people called me outside to the guy in my goldfish pond, acting stupid. 1.5 decades later I'm talking to him on the phone and hear him calling his wife to look at their boy. A toddler. He was setting on his head as he lay in the floor, talking on the pho. It was funny, but it was another life that'd very, very likely model himself after him. That's when I realized how very; very important it is to be a good role model to your children. He who is slow to be angry is better than a man of war, and he who has control over his spirit than he who takes a town.
Proverbs 16:32 That reminds me of the overweight man saying its unbelievable how many skinny people tell him to lose weight. A couple gave their wedding money to Haiti recovery and^ got countless free wedding services in response. The couple never knew that was coming. I just learned my Cousin, Penny, died and they do not know why yet. please pray for the family. When I'm eating a lot of snacks Christmas season, I get flabby and start limiting my diet to 1 meal a day… in the morning, to take care of my flab. As I tell about being a good role model to your children, out of the 182 women I've asked out only 1 went out with me. No, Pam means 2! Misty Perkins and Pam. Lol, Misty Paul and I rented a movie from my aunt’s video store… free. Salvation is free with no strings attached if you keep your side of the contract. The thief goes by the sheepfold. John 10 (New International Version) John 10 The Shepherd and His Flock 1"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. 3The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." 6Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them. [-] If I avoid the traps Jesus has previously pointed out, that doesn’t mean I will not run into trouble. So many people try to live by not living with trouble because that's something nobody likes. Maybe a shortcut will help you illicitly avoid trouble for the time, but the effect isn't worth it. Christianity might look like you are going around the barn the long way, but it'll always be worth it. Matthew 26:52 (New International Version) 52"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. [-]Matthew 28:16-20 (New International Version) The Great Commission 16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." [-] You make the choice. You can go by what somebody else said or you can go by what Jesus Christ said. Nobody is higher than Jesus Christ. You can have peace in the midst of trouble. As you journey through this pilgrim land, the Spirit will point out what to avoid. There's only 1 the Sovereign Lord Almighty. The cross says you can be redeemed. The cross is your deliverance. Know the power in Jesus’ name. The floor is ceramic tile. I was scooting up my folding chair and the wire got under it and skinned itself. This happened after I wrote about the connector. The wire altogether is ruined. Well, I can black tape it. And the fault is all mine. I'm in the wrong, to blame, guilty, and wrong I felt friction under the chair and continued trying top scoot up. I add up all my social security numbers and get 36. I look for the meaning of that and find number says 36 ~ Enemy (3 + 6 = 9), 36 = 6 man x 6. I can be my own worst enemy? I must always put the Sovereign Lord Almighty 1st. Please pray for the Lord to greatly bless anybody who shares this blog with hundreds of thousands of words of sermons in my blogs: Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse. After Granny got cancer, she had to stop canning fruits and vegetables as usual. It made her do something she NEVER thought she’d do—buying canned fruits and vegetables. She found something she NEVER thought she’d find. It was good. Her expression said just as good as the home canned version. Sometimes we’re driven to do something we’d NEVER do by inevitable circumstances. Then we’re glad it happened. I go to Friday smallgroup and return my notes…. I get there and much communion is taking place. I see many fake plants and for some reason I think of planting a sick Florida tree in freezing Ecuador and expecting it to live. Nor will it bear any fruit. You cannot get the same proof from something in different conditions. I tell Dick about Lowe’s saying they have a 125 amp breaker. I pray for Mom’s new business starting February 1. I pray for the books I'm mailing to the movie producers. Please pray for my prayers and anywhere you see needed prayer. I got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. That's a song I heard Granny Clampet singing today. It’s real friendship, says a member, when you hear somebody say something but you know the different meaning they're trying to convey. Founder’s faith is on a paper I get. It’s talking about the great, great faith of the founder’s. We pray for Fran, Roy, and Peggy. Linda is having back troubles. Cindy is having migraines. Sandy is having another problem. The spot on her kidney. She says so what? It’s either a miracle or glory land. Good attitude. She has a history of cancer. Many family members. Hattie’s son, Hal, is doing better. If you see a need in the paper, please pray for it. Sandy says kidneys are different than other body parts. Hal needs more monitors. When I was in rehab, I tell, a patient was found way up hwy 29 in his electric wheelchair. My brain is tired of writing and reading. Nilda is feeling better. I tell of Papa and my walking 2 miles a day. Walk a mile. He’d have a cigarette break. Then walk another mile. Doctor said he had a teen’s lungs. That was till it got a little cool. Papa was very, very, very, very cold natured!!!!
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a] 2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my the Sovereign Lord Almighty, in whom I trust." 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
Les saw this chapter 4 times. It’s a confirmation. The fleece. The devil used Matthew 4:5-7 5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6"If you are the Son of the Sovereign Lord," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:
" 'He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'[a]"
7Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your the Sovereign Lord to the test.'[b]"
The Word is your wpn. The devil knows it. So should we. The Bible can be a GUN WITHOUT BULLETS. You have to be a child of the Sovereign Lord Almighty to understand. That's why the devil doesn’t give up. Jesus was new to the devil.

who delivered your enemies into your hand."
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
Psalm 9:2

I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Sometimes referred to in Scripture simply as Elyon (e.g., Num. 24:16). Numbers 24:16

who has knowledge from the Most High,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
El Shaddai.
The All Sufficient the Sovereign Lord.
Proverbs 15:33
33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, [a]
and humility comes before honor.
the Sovereign Lord Almighty possesses everything. The Christian is not in lack. The Sovereign Lord Almighty owns everything. We’re rich. Dad owns everything. We can ask for anything and He will not reproach us. You have to have a pure heart, says a classmate. Keep on. Take the Sovereign Lord Almighty at His word. The Sovereign Lord Almighty gives you your need. Pat tells of their mission. Honduras. Very, very poor country. But right when the Sovereign Lord Almighty was asked for something, He would supply. People in third world countries are always laughing because they've learned how to get the right attitude. We expect everything. We’re poor. We’re spoiled brats. I say fuss at me about my Playstation. (But really I haven't played it in months and months.) Yes, agrees Nilda. We do not need excess. It takes our mind off the Sovereign Lord Almighty.
Ps 91: Psalm 91:3-4
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
the Sovereign Lord Almighty is Creator. The Sovereign Lord Almighty is power. The Sovereign Lord Almighty is refuge. My refuge. Make it personal. It should be our goal to well in the secret place of the Lord. Read the Bible daily. Pray daily. Let the Holy Spirit intercede. You cannot pray on your own. It has to be daily and earnest. Let the Sovereign Lord Almighty know you are willing to be His. I think of the Private/Christian College lying about inability to get permission from my parents to let me withdraw from an overwhelming, overpowering, devastating, crushing class they'd already said was overwhelming and my parents said they were never asked. College said they were and said no!!!! Then as hard as I could, completely studied out, I rammed my head into a concrete wall. With a shunt!!! As hard as I could!!!! Knowing about the Sovereign Lord Almighty is different than relationship with Him. Some people just come to church for the loaves and fishes. After you develop with relationship with Jesus, you get a calmness. Do not limit the Sovereign Lord Almighty and put Him in a box. The Sovereign Lord Almighty isn't intrusive. Do you really know the Sovereign Lord Almighty? Sometimes you are blind and do not see the Sovereign Lord Almighty right there. You have to surrender yourself to the Sovereign Lord Almighty. After Les told the Sovereign Lord Almighty he surrendered himself to Him, David Wilkerson sent him an email and asked, So, you surrendered yourself to the Sovereign Lord Almighty? I was tried. Mom saw I got a tad bit of corn on my pants. Very, very tiny. Very!!! She said let her wash them to have a load. It was easily wiped off. Plessse. So I changed. Got home from church and they were untouched!!! BEWILDERMENT!!! We all have triggers like that. Lose them. Be more like Jesus. The more you get in the Sovereign Lord Almighty, the more mellow you grow. It takes a long time maybe. Mom said the fancy7 houses built on Extreme Home Makeover make the property taxes go way up and end up going into foreclosure. That helped me stop coveting!!! Mean it when you repent. You might\ have to look defeated. Sharing struggles with people helps them more than you think. Just because you had a structured childhood doesn’t mean you have nothing to share. Pray before you leave your house, right when you are out of bed. You cannot make it a day without praying. Make the Sovereign Lord Almighty your Deliverer, your refuge, your strength. Abide by the Sovereign Lord Almighty to be under His cover. The tiger waits for the deer that leaves the flock. Sin is a disease. There's a lot of error in the church. Christians are sheep. The lion will not attack a group. Always doing the Sovereign Lord Almighty’s will makes it hard for the devil to get a foot hole. You get double honor.
Isaiah 4 1 In that day seven women
will take hold of one man
and say, "We will eat our own food
and provide our own clothes;
only let us be called by your name.
Take away our disgrace!!!"
The Branch of the Lord
The Branch of the Lord reminds me of my Grizzly Adams DVDs still in the mail on their way. It was my very, very favorite show as a toddler. The DVDs I got for Christmas were missed up, so the company said they were sending me new 1s. But that's been quite a while. Please pray it’s soon. The parts of the DVDs I saw showed I still love Grizzly Adams!!!! 2 In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. 3 Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4 The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit [a] of judgment and a spirit [b] of fire. 5 Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy. 6 It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.
the Sovereign Lord Almighty is protecting us day and night. Christians are troubled like Jesus was troubled. (Not necessarily as badly.) Attitude is everything. I think of Sandy’s good attitude. Attitude is the answer to everything. Trials help you grow. Some people groan about little problems as other people with much worse problems take it with a grain of salt. People blame everybody. It’s all about attitude. You are closer to the Sovereign Lord Almighty during trouble. If you are going through hell, keep going. Third world countries learn how to have the right attitude. A happy American is expected on drugs. You can get mad at the Sovereign Lord Almighty in trouble. But He’ll put you through more trouble to make you learn to lean on Him. A thousand may fall to my side. They're sick and the Sovereign Lord Almighty is keeping me from getting infected. Attitude is everything.
Psalm 91:7-8 (New International Version)
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
The fear of the Lord is the teaching of wisdom; and a low opinion of oneself goes before honour. Proverbs 15:thirty-three
….Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus! I just read 2 hours forty minutes stopping one time to kill a cup of cool coffee! That's how long it takes to read forty pages! Now tiredness is truly felt.
I read more about John Wayne’s troubles and happenings to get into acting. I also learned about Hollywood’s business. My friend has nothing good to say about Hollywood. Her sister is an actress and Jay Leno her neighbor. Stuff the world makes a big deal out of is really disappointing when you get in it. Activities media alludes to as fun are really disappointing, unsatisfactory, unacceptable, second-rate, and poor. I also learned about skills making you desirable. All of the agents loved how polite John Wayne was. That's a lesson. Be polite. It’s a Christ-like character. The book said John Wayne was raised Presbyterian, but didn't go to church or believe in organized religion. Guess what, religion will not get you to heaven. Another thing that made Papa and John Wayne similar is both were Presbyterians. I used to be Presbyterian. Those are very, very wonderful people. I remember when the Sovereign the Sovereign Lord the Lord Almighty called me to Pentecostal. He woke me up early and said today I’ll get the sign. 2 women in Sunday school rejected me, lol. That was my last Sunday there. Then I was incomparably gracious I made the change. That doesn’t mean the Presbyterian church wasn't fabulous and grandiose because it was. But I came to a spot where I needed to change. Mom’s dog, who I often claim, started early marking his territory in my room. Months ago. So I keep my doors closed. Then it hit me yesterday. He was making sure no other animals come and take me away. The Lord used that to help me see why a friend likely lied about me. She wanted him to see I seemed attracted to her to create a boundary maybe between them. But I still blew up. I hate lies about me. My button. I still failed the test. Please pray for Mom’s reasoning. She's looking at getting double pane windows and the duct work has holes. Therefore the light bill is very, very high. James 4:11 (New International Version)
11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. [-] It’s almost time to go to church. Leaving 10:45a today. I always go to the 8:30a service because I like to get home and do the notes with lots of time left for the day. If the noise level is quiet, which is very, very rare, I’ll try to take a nap.
Morning service. Pray for Haiti. Give to Church of the Sovereign Lord world missions department to get your money straight there. We have organizations there. We get everything there cost free. Our overseer there was killed in the earthquake. We've been in Haiti since 1933. Give to Abundant Life ministries and every penny will make it to Haiti. We already have a network there. We are the best missions organization. A picture of footies, pink, is on a scale on the screen. It’s a woman, supposedly. There's some debate and decision it better be a woman. Essential Goals. Number 1 was worship. How can you love the Sovereign Lord more passionately? Have you set Essential Goals for community? Become more like Christ. What ways can you give of yourself? Have a regular daily Bible reading plan. When I saw codes and told the Sovereign Lord if He will verify that, I’ll read the Bible every day for the rest of my life. I never said a word to anybody and 2 weeks later Mom sent me a book on encoded messages. It was 1998. How do you have a Bible reading plan? first I do my Zito 5. When my kidneys wake me then 1 or 2 more times reading. Lights are out without the Bible and on with. Serving means ministering. Vice versa. Elvis Presley is used as an idea. Papa, the Sergeant, met him in club Ledo’s in France and they started club hopping every weekend and eating in the mess hall every day. Papa said he was a joker. Then I hear of how stardom ruined him. Dad said methadone was Elvis Presley’s drug. Dad’s too. Priscilla said Elvis felt unfulfilled. Ephesians 2:10 >>
New International Version (©1984)
For we are the Sovereign Lord's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which the Sovereign Lord prepared in advance for us to do.
Nobody has a free ride. We’re created to serve.

women's ministry
1 Peter 4:10
10Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
New International Version (NIV)
. get beyond yourself. Help others. Think of others. You'll be happier. Find peace. Stingy people are the most miserable. Cards, a hundred, are on the altar. Commitment slips. 1 here. 1 here. 1 here. 1 here. 1 here. 1 here. 1 here. Many people are grabbing cards2 more. There's 1 then the last 1 is taken. 100 makes me think of the 181 women having rejected me and I see a pleasurable grace in that all of a sudden. This is the commitment phase. Commercials for Abundant Life ministries are needed. Remodeling of the bathroom is needed. 2 more projectors are needed. 22 years old are needed to be lured. That's the age I was when my body went crazy, I prayed it off, and 9 years later I was sitting in the doctor’s office, scared because of what the loss of stimulation had done to me. A monument in the front is needed. The sign I'd why I go here. After I saw it, I started. If you commit 12 dollars 12 cents a week, you'll get a reminder in the mail. And you'll get a payment book. People are right for the message. Wrap Your arms around me. Young men are getting baptized. Christopher is getting serious with God. Take me to Your secret place. Joyce saw the need and got her grandson in the church. Grandparents stand in the gap. Everybody applauding. A grandchild was cuffed here and taken away then cane back and got right with the Sovereign Lord. Pastor Anthony is making William the armor bearer. The Sovereign Lord loves you. The Sovereign Lord loves you. The Sovereign Lord loves you. The Sovereign Lord loves you. Thank the Sovereign Lord for the souls going public. We must go through Jesus to be in Covenant with God. At the dinner, we will eat before we hear the financial report,. Period 12.jugs of water jugs of tea are at each table. I te3ll Nilda she isn't ghetto like she said. I think of the boys I fought as a child and count 6. (Because my hormones were intense.) Never Ricky or Tate because Ricky never left his house and Tate was too old to hang with us. William by me is at my table. The last time we ate by each other was Ecuador, where I got sick… we all did. Credit report is given. We’re lowest on cash ever since Pastor Anthony has been here. If everything comes in, we'll have 49 thousand in surplus. We’re 12 thousand in the hole. If pledges are kept, we can tackle projects. We cannot spend our way out of debt like our government is trying. Expenses. Receipts. Commitments. Pastor Anthony gives them. We need 93 hundred dollars a week. Welcome sign is number 1 thing that got people here. I stand, giving. A testimony when I saw the sign, I started. Stingy people are the most miserable. You were created to serve others.
Pastor Anthony is coach and we’re players on the field. Coach McDaniel. Service and ministry are the same.
Matthew 20:28
28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Serve like Jesus and be available.
Matthew 20:30-32
30Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
31The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
32Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
Jesus was interrupted. Stay the same though interrupted. You must be willing to be interrupted. Soon Pastor Kendra will pull Pastor Anthony off course with a suggestion and he, coach, is delayed. Maintain true Christianity in the season of inconvenience. Whence interrupted. Do every one good each and every one good every bit of good every one of them good every single one.
do not be self centered. Jesus was always interrupted when he was doing good works. Lol! I was talking about noise when I try to nap before service today! Do not procrastinate. Stay together. Be organized.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 (New International Version)
4 Whoever watches the wind will not plant;
whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.
Do not be a perfectionalist. Do not wait for perfect conditions. Do not expect ideal circumstances. Do not anticipate just right situation. Do not await just the thing setting. Do not wait on great environments. Be a Christian when interrupted. Gulp! Proud and arrogant I'm humiliated with the circumstances of 181 rejections and therefore no longer feeling any interest. Without faith you cannot please the Lord. Do not be excellent oriented. Turn your phone off. The Sovereign Lord doesn’t use perfect people because there’re none.
Luke 16:13 (New International Version)
13"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
Do not be materialistic. Are you a Kingdom builder or a wealth builder? Be grateful.
John 11:41-42 (New International Version)
41So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."
Be thankful. There were 10 healed lepers and only 1 returned, thinking Jesus.
Psalm 100:2 (New International Version)
2 Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
2 Timothy 1:9
9who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
Romans 14:4
4Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
Do not be critical or talk about people. At the judgment seat you are alone. Have good motivation. Keep it between you and the Sovereign Lord. be faithful.
John 17:4
4I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
Stick to it. persevere. 1 Corinthians 4:2
2Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
1 Corinthians 15:58
58Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Do not confuse significance with prominence. Your nose is no more important than your liver. 2 boys came in a service, couldn't find a seat, then left. Usher went for them and found a place for the 2 in the middle. 1 of the boys was Billy Graham.
Hebrews 6:10
10God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
Matthew 25:21
21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
Elvis Presley’s only Grammy was for a gospel album.
Smallgroup evening
Hattie’s son Hal is doing better. Thank you for praying for him. Hattie is soon going up to see about him. Hattie is on her walker. Her new 1 was stolen and this 1 given to her. We sign a card for Hal. Not having eating next Sunday. Denise is here. Somebody says where's da nephew. People laugh and I'm ignorant. I finally catch on da niece and da nephew. Janice is working on the TV and DVD player. Decides on the laptop. So as she leaves for her laptop I say I’ll take names, (of misbehaving people,) for her. Jack begins, “Hello guys.” What happened to ladybugs and jellybeans? He repeats ladybugs and jellybeans. The Sovereign Lord is very, very greatly blessing us to gather like this. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Procrastination is an enemy. Be careful to not fall in that pit. Do not put off. If anything was left undone, take care of it now. You never know. A son went to the doctor about chest pains. The doctor said it’s ok. As he got almost home, he had a heart attack and died. If you die a sinner, you die a sinner. All you need is the Sovereign Lord. The Bible is the manual. We’re headed to the judgment throne. The Sovereign Lord will say welcome home or depart from me. The Sovereign Lord’s love is overwhelming. How could the Sovereign Lord love me like this? Jesus stepped between the cross and eternity to take the place where I rightfully belong. Gracious and kind the Sovereign Lord gave this day as a choice to do with it what we want. You are exchanging this is day of our life for it. Tomorrow it'll be gone forever. Ask the Sovereign Lord to make you more like Jesus every day. Fill our heart with Your love. Be gain not loss good not evil. Success not failure. That reminds me of the chill getting to Papa as he was deer hunting. So he fed the fire after going back to camp, having coffee. Saw a deer. Shot it as it ran away. Try today because if you never quit trying you never fail. Glory the Sovereign Lord. We have prayer. Janice starts the video on her laptop. 76 orphans in the Cambodia orphanage. They got close to Janice and vice versa. Janice bought them ice cream. Very, very poor community. No tools for farming. But they farm. Janice sang a song for them in a game where she was chosen. It was gospel. It was supposed to be embarrassing. Jesus is King. The youth did great plays. Janice taught them how to cook. Every orphan must know how to cook where they're going. The market is out in the open. Everything available. Harvest jumping around in the morning. Laundry in the troughs air dried. School dedications attended. Buddhist temple there. She said another temple of a cult too I do not remember. Hardship. Pain. This is about resting, resting, and waiting on the Sovereign Lord.
Matthew 11:28
28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Thermometer will do you no good when nobody can take care of you. The Sovereign Lord is still on the throne and in charge.
Psalm 62 (New American Standard Bible)
Psalm 62
God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.
For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1(A)My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him (B)is my salvation.
2He only is my (C)rock and my salvation,
My (D)stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
3How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a (E)leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position;
They (F)delight in falsehood;
They (G)bless with their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. Selah.
5My soul, (H)wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
6He only is (I)my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
7On God my (J)salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my (K)refuge is in God.
8(L)Trust in Him at all times, O people;
(M)Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9Men of (N)low degree are only (O)vanity and men of rank are a (P)lie;
In the (Q)balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.
10(R)Do not trust in oppression
And do not vainly hope in (S)robbery;
If riches increase, (T)do not set your heart upon them.
11[a]Once God has (U)spoken;
[b]Twice I have heard this:
That (V)power belongs to God;
12And lovingkindness (W)is Yours, O Lord,
For You (X)recompense a man according to his work.
We think we have it tough till we see need like this. Like in a third world countries. Women are after rich Europeans, get pregnant, then they think it’s easy street. Janice went to the killing fields. Bones, teeth, clothes. Scattered about. Sign of barbarism. Unreached people. There was an escapee. Small boy. Made it to the States. Christians adopted him. He became a missionary and returned.
Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations (peoples)
Jesus said it 2,000 years ago. Where do we stand today?

, Romans 15:13
13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 30:15
15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says:
"In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,
but you would have none of it.
Wait for the Sovereign Lord, quiet and trusting. No matter what it looks like. The Sovereign Lord is able. Trust and let Him act. Ps twenty-seven:14.
Psalm 30:5
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
Isaiah 40:31
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
New International Version (NIV)
Isaiah 30:15
15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says:
"In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,
but you would have none of it.
There’re times when you cannot do anything.
Isaiah 30:18-20
18 Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you;
he rises to show you compassion.
For the LORD is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him!
19 O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. 20 Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them.
You get adversity, but the Sovereign Lord is with you. That's when the Sovereign Lord teaches and guides you. In difficult times appreciate and grow in it. In trouble, you see other trouble as little. The Sovereign Lord shows you how to turn to Him. The Sovereign Lord is wisest counsel you'll have. Trust and wait on the Sovereign Lord. Appreciate prayer for you. Cambodia gave Janice a paradigm shift. There was a preacher, says a member, that said if you are not mission minded, do not come here. The orphanage was life changing for Janice. It costs 10 thousand a month to operate. You are blessed to be a blessing and you feel it. I remember Ecuador missions and agree. People are starving and dying every day without Jesus.

Hindus need to be reached. Israel was judged because they weren't blessing others. In Cambodia, your bus seat is picked for you. Motorcycle cabs wear helmet but you do not. Parents are very, very mean to their children in the open and nobody says anything. Harshly slinging loudly them to the floor even. Youth were fighting for Janice’s hand. Tripping each other to grab it. doctors very novice. You do not need a prescription. Just say what you need and you get it. A Joyce Meyer hospital is in the middle of nowhere in walking distance. To nobody. Driving laws are not enforced. Everybody drives wildly. Low of 85 and high of 105 its warm and there's no AC. Power goes out all the time. A life size gecko was on Janice’s wall she had removed. They said it’s harmless. So? The beds are as hard as the floor. Wolves are in sheep’s clothing. Cambodia is under communist control. Missionaries are building schools, so they're welcome. School for very young is used for the older in the evening. They need money and prayer. A very, very young girl raised for prostitution was in the orphanage, rescued by police. Public turns a blind eye to child abuse. Then as I'm waiting alone for my ride, a woman stops in a car and asks is this St. John’s church? I say Abundant Life ministries. Then she leaves. Was that a divine moment? Did I do everything right? I was polite. But I didn't smile. Maybe I should have.

Genesis 6:11-9:19
View commentary related to this passage
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die.
18 But I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Genesis 7
1 And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female:
3 of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground.
5 And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground,
9 there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14 they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
23 And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
2 the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; With all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; As the green herb have I given you all.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require; At the hand of every beast will I require it. And at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: For in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you. Of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.

Please pray for church worldwide.
Numbers in the Bible are represented by something. I have been working on my fiction. I’ll start my biography again soon. I just lifted weights and the endorphins are feeling very, very good. Incomparably wonderful, excellently magnificent, unbeatably superb, very breathtaking, and matchlessly amazing! I love releasing endorphins!!! It’s beyond compare!! Church growth comes to mind. Seeing the lost bothers me is a reason. Belonging, just going there, to the church gives you a feeling of peace. Numbers come to mind. Belong to a church and feel Jesus speaking to you. belong 2. church 3. feel grace. 7 for g. ex 3:7 Exodus
Chapter 3
7 But the LORD said, "I have witnessed the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their cry of complaint against their slave drivers, so I know well what they are suffering.
There’re a bunch of numbers that each have a meaning. I got my numbers at the beginning like I did before I learned the represented numbers. In it, I see affliction and support. That's what I started the idea out with. But belong in the numbers directory is belong, fit in, go, be in the right place, and feel right. Keep trying no matter how hard you have to try. In Bible Paper 169, I wrote I just finished my daily Bible reading regimen. It’s something I've done 11 yrs. Going on an 18th time read through completely. I meant I was doing my note writing. I read the Bible at home not at the church unless it’s with Pastor Anthony, reading. I do my regimen at home. After Mom made me change my pants, I said I can wipe this off and did. She said she needed more clothes to wash a load of laundry. Then when I got home from church, I saw she’d never washed anything. It was very bewildering because the stain was easily wiped away. Then I found she forgot and that made sense. It was still exasperating at the time. I saw little sense in changing my britches because of a little stain I could easily wipe off. But the bewilderment I felt gave me a chance to see where I need to become more like Jesus. If you are very, very zealous about something, there's a good chance you'll over do it. I did with weight lifting week before last. 3 sets a day 5 days a week. I got so sore I took a week off and I'm still a little sore. But the impact of endorphins at the time are Intense. Enjoyment. Strong. Powerful. Happiness. Delight. Joy. Forceful. Bliss. Concentrated. Contentment. Deep. Satisfaction. Passionate. Gratification. Extreme. Amusement. Severe. Recreation. INCOMPARABLE! That's clearly why I over did it. Senate’s impact on Christianity.
Pray for the world to see the need of Christian leadership is a good way t of getting Christians leading us. We’re praying for Christian leaders, are we not? Maybe it’s our approach to prayer that makes the difference. My theses may get us thinking. Bpblog: * Life is too short to spend it hating. Courage is fear prayed for. Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in God Almighty's eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:twenty 20 because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.
When I woke, the History channel was doing a thing on the weather in Africa and I instantly thought of the many ships Christopher Columbus wrecked at stormy South Africa coast. That made me think of weather, which made me think of the way man has grown more predictable of it. Therefore when we know a huge storm is coming, we can prepare better. That makes us rely on ourselves more. I heard somebody celebrate a report of the weatherman like it was really going to happen the way he said. I am not like that. The weatherman has been wrong too many times for me to depend on him. Or her. The more you depend. When people make promises to you, there's NOTHING that says they will not keep the promise. Therefore do not depend on something if a human promises it to you. but with God Almighty that's a different thing. Please pray for the help groups to get better organized in Haiti. Please pray for the blog I just updated. http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=366386182&blogId=521391774
Please pray Jesus powerfully, strongly, mightily, impressively, effectively, forcefully blesses everybody sharing this blog. Peggy said the Lord told her to tell me to write a biography. Oddly, I stopped reading a book on prehistoric earth and went for another book. I've always bought loads of books at flea markets and just read the book on the top of the stack. After I saw it, I found it is a biography of John Wayne. Plus I read the Bible every morning and night. But the biography is helping me think of how I’ll write my biography. In story form. I started my blog from an 8 hundred thousand word file. Today I added 1 hundred ninety 1 thousand sixty five word file. Please pray Jesus abundantly blesses whoever shares it and that they see the many blessings. Getting the Word out is a very, very big deal. 12345››

I'm very, very thankful Jesus has given me the opportunity to do this. I have records dating back to 95, so I say the blog is fifteen years of records, so they're not easily identifiable. On earth, that isn't near the blessing it will be when I reach heaven. I just counted fifteen blogs. 33,572 words are in the blog I just counted. 33,572x14 equal 470008. now I'm comfortable saying its hundreds of thousands of words. Please pray Jesus fully blesses anybody passing that blog around. That gives a Spiritual fulfillment. Please pray the blog only grows and gains more viewers every day forever and ever, never thwarted whatsoever. Myspace.com/michaeldeehouse All my 15 blogs of recorded sermons are under my blogs. The flesh doesn’t want you to try in the first place. I played football because I didn't have to try out for the team. Plus my best friend was playing. Inviting me. I tried out for basketball too with him but didn't make the team. Though sometimes I see on college football games players my weight my high school Senior year. That's why I didn't try out in high school. I was the smallest boy. I got my growth spurt especially in a coma. When I did played football, I played 2 strings—nose guard and wingback. Listen to the criticism. Take it in. Get better. And show up. I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can. Don't halt before you are lame. Hang in there. Hang in there because the greatest quarterbacks complete only six of 10 passes. The best basketball players make only 50% of their shots. The top oil companies, with all their geologists, drill 10 dry holes for every wet one. And even the most successful actors flunk 29 auditions for television commercials before they land one. So, HANG IN THERE. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. Never say die. Persevere and get it done. Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th. For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again. Proverbs 24:16
16 For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
A lowly virtue whereby mediocrity achieves a glorious success. We make way for the man who boldly pushes past us. A jug fills drop by drop. By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. [-] Those sayings are something I needed grounded in my head all through my childhood. I continually write no matter how many books are rejected. When I was in rehab,, though my eyes ran together, Writer's Digest repeatedly reminded me of how very, very, very, very common rejection is for the writer. Reject makes me think of the Lord’s way of answering my prayer way back when my body went crazy. It’s unbelievable how well the Lord answered that prayer. It took 181 rejections and if you had told me it’d require 181 rejections,, I'd told you I'd be ok without that. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it’d be. Yes, my egto took a huge blow, but that's because I'm proud and arrogant. That's why Jesus doesn’t let us know how He will answer our prayers. Looking back I can verily say the loss was well worth the gain. Yes, the perspective change was also included. But that's something to be expected. After you have an answered prayer,, indeed a perspective change will be following. I'm far from unforgiving. As a matter of fact, 181 ladies, thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! I very badly needed the perspective change! I just found if I run defrag as I try to get online, several windows boot up, but does absolutely nothing besides say what it is. It’s a waste of time closing the may windows,, so I leave them open often. You click close, close, close, close, close, but it does nothing. You have to reset to get rid of them. In 94, reading forty pages was a very, very big deal, but now I'm amazed how easy that is. Fifteen years of reading increased my stamina for sure. Don't halt before you are lame. Hang in there. Hang in there because the greatest quarterbacks complete only six of 10 passes. The best basketball players make only 50% of their shots. The top oil companies, with all their geologists, drill 10 dry holes for every wet one. And even the most successful actors flunk 29 auditions for television commercials before they land one. So, HANG IN THERE. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. Never say die. No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction. Persevere and get it done. One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive. No matter whom you are or what your position is you must keep fighting for whatever it is you desire to achieve. People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th. The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is, that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't. Do not give ^. Keep on keeping on. My brother visited my church and went to the Sunday school. It was after he decided he didn't like my young adult’s class. He said the teacher asked after you keep on, what do you do? he said he said real zealously you keep on keeping on! But his suicide proved he found that impossible. It’s not impossible. Maybe he decided it wasn't worth it. After all, he had had a shiny sports car, huge personal life, and as nice job where he lived with Zaxby’s founders. he saw the truth of the things to come. But the beauty in the Spiritual realm was attainable. The reason he shot that idea down is his chemistry was based on sex, drugs, alcohol, and carnality. He knew that wasn’t church life. Didn't Solomon say riches are all vanity?
Matthew 24
4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[a]' and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains. [-] with THE LORD SO NEAR, now is the best time to get ready for the Lord’s return. Scenes like we have today were unfathomable even 2 decades ago. Repent and surrender yourself to Jesus Christ. Admit with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Don't sweat the small stuff. It’s all small stuff. Here's my little brother’s blog: my little cool bro: http://www.myspace.com/454456821 Too young to die. He obviously sweat the small stuff. Building on 30 years experience, with a curriculum based on the tenets of cognitive psychology and social learning theory, The Pacific Institute bridges this gap with its innovative program Thought Patterns for a Successful Career. Designed specifically to enhance student retention, as well as give students the tools to succeed in school and beyond, Thought Patterns emphasizes those performance skills most desired by employers:* Flexibility * Critical Thinking * Creativity/Innovation * Resiliency Accountability * Leadership I just felt led to look that up. I guess because I need it. Since I'm my own boss and am always writing with my hopes of nearing publication, it feels more applicable. If I'm my own boss, I'm making myself a better worker for me. * Appreciate the importance of good work habits and time management * Decrease any tendencies you might have toward procrastination * Develop attitudes and values that will help you become more productive * Develop skills and techniques that will help you become more productive * Overcome time-wasting practices People with good work habits tend to be more successful in their careers than poorly organized individuals, and they tend to have more time to spend on personal life. Good work habits are more important than ever because of today's emphasis on productivity and quality.
Procrastination is the leading cause of poor productivity and career self-sabotage. People procrastinate for many reasons, including their perception that a task is unpleasant, is overwhelming, or may lead to negative consequences. Fear of success can also lead to procrastination. Awareness of procrastination can lead to its control. Eight other techniques for reducing procrastination are (1) calculating the cost of procrastination; (2) counterattacking the burdensome task; (3) jump-starting yourself; (4) pecking away at an overwhelming task; (5) motivating yourself with rewards and punishments; (6) following the WIFO principle; (7) making a commitment to other people; and (8) expressing a more positive attitude. Developing good work habits and time management practices is often a matter of developing proper attitudes toward work and time. Seven such attitudes and values are (1) developing a mission, goals, and a strong work ethic; (2) valuing good attendance and punctuality; (3) valuing your time; (4) valuing neatness, orderliness, and speed; (5) working smarter, not harder; (6) becoming self-employed psychologically; (7) playing the inner game of working, and (8) appreciating the importance of rest and relaxation. Eleven skills and techniques to help you become more productive are (1) cleaning up and getting organized; (2) planning your activities; (3) getting off to a good start; (4) making good use of office technology; (5) concentrating on one key task at a time; (6) streamlining your work and emphasizing important tasks; (7) working at a steady pace; (8) creating some quiet, uninterrupted time; (9) making use of bits of time; (10) staying in control of paperwork, the in-basket, and e-mail; and (11) using multitasking for routine tasks. Seven suggestions for overcoming time wasting are (1) minimizing day dreaming; (2) preparing a time log and evaluating your use of time; (3) avoiding being a computer goof-off or cyberloafer; (4) keeping track of important names, places, and things; (5) setting a time limit for certain tasks and projects; (6) scheduling similar tasks together; (7) bouncing quickly from task to task, and (8) being decisive and finishing things. [-] Those are good habits to adopt.
I come to evening service 6:fifteen.William comes at 6:30 and apologizes. That's ok. I was enjoying band’s practice. Granny, who met Hank Senior in a restaurant, loved musical performances too. He gave her a tape, still an amateur. William and I unload chairs for evening discussion., we’ll talk about the sermon. It was empty when I got here. Bob told me sanctuary is where class is. I had a single McDonald's hamburger on my breath. I won't say anything about that. Today we’re studying the Covenant and the single hamburger could make me think the following things I think. The earth is full of God Almighty’s glory. People will praise God Almighty forever. I have in God Almighty more than enough. God Almighty is my reward worth living for. God Almighty is more than enough. Mike says that's B flat on more and C flat on me. They're getting ready for church. Nothing is better than this. I talk to Karen. She's had her back turned to me long enough and she says that’s because I'm behind her. I see some new members. I pray for the Lord to bless them. If you're new to Abundant Life ministries and I see you here,, I’ll likely be praying for you to be blessed. All apologies. Please pray for Mom’s new business, West Shore. It’s mortgage. Glory to God Almighty. nineteen:06 singing begins. The church is getting in gear. Mike is pumping us up because we’re beleaguered. Lift up your voice and lift up the Sovereign Lord’s name. Over all the earth God Almighty reigns in power. Reign in me again. At the foot of the cross where grace and suffering meet. God Almighty won my heart. Wear forgiveness like a crown. I can trade these ashes in for beauty. God Almighty is my supply. Jesus is my coming King. My everything. Please pray for Haiti. For organizing. For supplies. For peace. For hope and joy. For calmness. Pray for a Christian community to prevail throughout all Haiti afterward. Even now. Introduce yourself to somebody you do not know. I meet Paula and Tom and I thought it was a first time,, but they say we met last week,. I pray for Peggie and Jerry, who I met Sunday and are not here. Oh, I see somebody. I meet her. She's Amanda. Please pray for Church of God Almighty world missions. They're the most effective arm of the Church of God Almighty. I see the offering plate and drop a 5 toward it that goes to the floor. William puts it in his pocket. I frown and point to the plate and he puts it in there. Pastor Anthony will teach twenty minutes then we’ll talk. It’s his oldest child’s 19th birthday. She was a cone head baby like my nephew Jacobi. Doctor put a screw in her head and pulled her out. The Old Covenant is mentioned 300 times in the Old Testament.
I. The Edenic Covenant
II. The Adamic Covenant
III. The Noahic Covenant
IV. The Abrahamic Covenant
V. The Mosaic Covenant
VI. The Palestinian Covenant
VII. The Davidic Covenant
New Covenant
Gen fifteen:7:12, 17-18
That's foreign to us. We understand Covenants like a wedding. Cut cake. Exchange vows. Light candles., wedding band. Getting a heifer for a sacrifice was common. It showed they were serious. Noah Biography
also spelled Noe,
The hero of the biblical Flood story in the Old Testament book of Genesis, the originator of vineyard cultivation, and, as the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the representative head of a Semitic genealogical line. A synthesis of at least three biblical source traditions, Noah is the image of the righteous man made party to a Covenant with Yahweh, the God Almighty of Israel, in which nature's future protection against catastrophe is assured.
Noah appears in Genesis 5:29
29 and he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, which cometh because of the ground which Jehovah hath cursed.
as the son of Lamech and ninth in descent from Adam. In the story of the Deluge (Genesis 6:11–9:19),
Genesis 6:11-9:19
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die.
18 But I will establish my Covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Genesis 7
1 And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female:
3 of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground.
5 And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground,
9 there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14 they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
23 And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
2 the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; With all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; As the green herb have I given you all.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require; At the hand of every beast will I require it. And at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: For in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my Covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you. Of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my Covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the Covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a Covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
15 and I will remember my Covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting Covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the Covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.
Genesis 6:8
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
Genesis 9:20-27
20 And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard:
21 and he drank of the wine, and was drunken. And he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
27 God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
He is represented as the patriarch who, because of his blameless piety, was chosen by God Almighty to perpetuate the human race after his wicked contemporaries had perished in the Flood. A righteous man, Noah “found favour in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8). Thus, when God Almighty beheld the corruption of the earth and determined to destroy it, he gave Noah divine warning of the impending disaster and made a Covenant with him, promising to save him and his family. Noah was instructed to build an ark, and in accordance with God Almighty's instructions he took into the ark male and female specimens of all the world's species of animals, from which the stocks might be replenished. Consequently, according to this narrative, the entire surviving human race descended from Noah's three sons. Such a genealogy sets a universal frame within which the subsequent role of Abraham, as the father of Israel's faith, could assume its proper dimensions. The story of the Flood has close affinities with Babylonian traditions of apocalyptic floods in which Utnapishtim plays the part corresponding to that of Noah. These mythologies are the source of such features of the biblical Flood story as the building and provisioning of the ark, its flotation, and the subsidence of the waters, as well as the part played by the human protagonist. Tablet XI of the Gilgamesh epic introduces Utnapishtim, who, like Noah, survived cosmic destruction by heeding divine instruction to build an ark. The religious meaning of the Flood is conveyed after Noah's heroic survival. He then built an altar on which he offered burnt sacrifices to God Almighty, who then bound himself to a pact never again to curse the earth on man's account. God Almighty then set a rainbow in the sky as a visible guarantee of his promise in this Covenant. God Almighty also renewed his commands given at creation but with two changes: man could now kill animals and eat meat, and the murder of a man would be punished by men. Despite the tangible similarities of the Mesopotamian and biblical myths of the flood, the biblical story has a unique Hebraic perspective. In the Babylonian story the destruction of the flood was the result of a disagreement among the gods; in Genesis it resulted from the moral corruption of human history. The primitive polytheism of the Mesopotamian versions is transformed in the biblical story into an affirmation of the omnipotence and benevolence of the one righteous God Almighty. Again, following their survival, Utnapishtim and his wife are admitted to the circle of the immortal gods; but Noah and his family are commanded to undertake the renewal of history. The narrative concerning Noah in Genesis 9:20–27 belongs to a different cycle, which seems to be unrelated to the Flood story.
Genesis 9:20-27 (New International Version)
20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded [a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father's nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father's nakedness.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
"Cursed be Canaan!
The lowest of slaves
will he be to his brothers."
26 He also said,
"Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem!
May Canaan be the slave of Shem. [b]
27 May God extend the territory of Japheth [c] ;
may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,
and may Canaan be his [d] slave."
In the latter, Noah's sons are married and their wives accompany them in the ark; but in this narrative they would seem to be unmarried, nor does the shameless drunkenness of Noah accord well with the character of the pious hero of the Flood story. Three different themes may be traced in Genesis 9:20–27: first, the passage attributes the beginnings of agriculture, and in particular the cultivation of the vine, to Noah; second, it attempts to provide, in the persons of Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, ancestors for three of the races of mankind and to account in some degree for their historic relations; and third, by its censure of Canaan, it offers a veiled justification for the later Israelite conquest and subjugation of the Canaanites. Noah's drunkenness and the disrespect it provokes in his son Ham result in Noah's laying of a curse on Ham's son Canaan. This incident may symbolize the ethnic and social division of Palestine: the Israelites (from the line of Shem) will separate from the pre-Israelite population of Canaan (which is depicted as licentious), who will live in subjection to the Hebrews. The symbolic figure of Noah was known in ancient Israel, before the compilation of the Pentateuch. Ezekiel (14:14, 20) speaks of him as a prototype of the righteous man who, alone among the Israelites, would be spared God Almighty's vengeance. In the New Testament, Noah is mentioned in the genealogy of the Gospel According to Luke (3:36) that delineates Jesus' descent from Adam. Jesus also uses the story of the Flood that came on a worldly generation of men “in the days of Noah” as an example of Baptism, and Noah is depicted as a preacher of repentance to the men of his time, itself a predominant theme in Jewish apocryphal and rabbinical writings.

9 So the LORD said to him, "Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon."
That's the blood Covenant. Termed life giving. It was bloodshed. Jesus died and shed blood for everybody and the world doesn’t care. The Covenant helps you understand. Abraham knew heifer meant it was serious. Walk of death Covenant. Animal cut open by 2 people in a field. Partners walk through masses of blood. Walk through a circle in figure 8. 6. mark on body. Tattoo symbolizing Covenant. Mark on body. Striking hands was cut open wrists. Wrangled blood. Put gunpowder on the abrasion. Leaving mark. That's where raising your hand to show your mark cane from. It shows their enemies are your enemy and their friends are your friends. It also showed if you were of an enemy or friendly clan. It showed if you have a Covenant partner. Power is in numbers. Somebody has your back. And you are in Covenant with Him. Shaking hands is also Covenant making. Used to hand shaking was a very big deal. I remember when my papa told me that. Shaking hands was a Covenant making ceremony. You also cut yourself and rub the abrasions together.

You feed each other first a few bites. Like groom and bride. Feeding each other cake. That's symbolism. And facing each other in an open field with their name in the middle. Like when God Almighty made a Covenant with Abram by giving. Him h and a of His name and making him Abraham. God Almighty was making him a Covenant partner. Also, God Almighty takes Abraham’s name. “The God Almighty of Abraham.” God Almighty came in Covenant with Him. Yawh means oath making God Almighty. Ancient Hebrew had no vowels. I think of my preacher when I was 19, 1.5 decades ago!, and his showing me a sign on the wall. A decoration. It was Hebrew writing,, reading right to left and he said it had no vowels,. Granny was often going to church with records and such because she was the secretary and that was when he showed me. The a was put in Yawh for the pronunciation. God Almighty put ha on Abram and h on Sara, (which is how my brother’s baby mama spells her name, to form a Covenant with them. Holy Spirit is Holy Nuna. The Bible doesn’t say a lot about tattoo. It makes me think about the way a woman rejecting me makes me want to have nothing ever to do with her after God Almighty told me to let the reject decide that the first week of renewal. Blood shed by Jesus had to have fallen on the ground. To violate the blood was to get a curse. God Almighty showing commitment. Jews just live by Old Testament. They strictly follow the law and love the Torah. Messianic churches know how to worship God Almighty. Its unbelievable how many actors are Jews. The Bible says not to get a tattoo, but is it talking about for the dead?
1.Leviticus 19:28
" 'Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.[-] It is said tattoos are a hindrance. That's opinion. The Passover meal is a Covenant. How do you feel about it? I say it helps me come to grips with things that have happened to me. With the the decisions of other people that display their character.

They responded, "We will do everything the LORD has said; we will obey."

12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."

and will remember their sins no more."

who decrees the moon and stars
