I just found this post and love it.Thought I would share a prayer with you.
Prayer For My Friend You have created us to live in community, O God of love; bless our friends who provide us with the grace and love of an extended family. Endow them with the riches of your blessings: good health, sight, and mobility, that they may enjoy the wonders of your creation and share their delight with others. Bless them with keen minds and compassionate hearts that they may create a better life for all. Guard them from injustice, oppression, and evil that they may know freedom and hope lifelong. In their waking and in their sleeping, in their laughter and in their tears, surround them with your love until the end of their days; and so bring them to eternal life in peace. Through Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen. |

Prophetic Word by Wendy Alec; Godtv.com
EYE OF THE STORM - ELECTIONS - ECONOMIC COLLAPSE
And THE LORD SAID - "Tell My people that THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR. Things will get ROUGH - Things will get TURBULENT- BUT I WILL KEEP THEM SAFE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM." The Lord woke me up in the early hours of the morning the week before the bailout was passed - It was around four am in the morning and I kept hearing one sentence over and over again and that sentence was 'EYE OF THE STORM - EYE OF THE STORM..,' and then I started to hear Psalm 91 as well, and I said to the Lord - "Father - Your people are very familiar with Psalm 91", but I sensed this was DIFFERENT - there was such a specific and powerful rhema anointing on this Psalm concerning the current financial situation. "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty whose power no foe can withstand. You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night nor of the arrow, the evil plot slanders of the wicked." (or the NASDAQ OR THE DOW JONES THAT PLUMMETS by day.) "A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you because you have made the LORD your refuge." And I sensed that the Lord was so deeply moved by the prayers and cries of His children regarding the current economic turmoil and I believe that He is talking to some of you right now and He's saying: "BELOVED CHILD - BELOVED SON - BELOVED DAUGHTER BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE ME - THE LORD - THE MOST HIGH - YOUR REFUGE AND YOUR DWELLING PLACE, I SHALL PROTECT YOU. BECAUSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME YOUR HEART - BECAUSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME YOUR LIFE - BECAUSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME YOUR SUBSTANCE - YOUR SUBSTANCE SHALL BE PROTECTED IN THE EYE OF THE STORM. FOR I THE MOST HIGH AND LIVING GOD SHALL BY MY OWN RIGHT ARM PROTECT YOUR SUBSTANCE EVEN IN THE EYE OF THE STORM." And I remembered a prophecy the Lord had given me so many years ago in 1999 in the Journal of the Unknown Prophet, part of which had said: "And so great terror shall strike at the heart of those who have ruled the nations by control and manipulation - by trade and by extortion - as they see their idols collapse before them. And so the great shaking and the judgements upon the Earth shall begin... They exchange the worship of Me, the Living God, for that of stocks and shares and gold and bonds - for the worship of oil and armaments. They have exchanged their souls for that which cannot save them. For so it is that as their life expires, all they have amassed in the high places of the Earth, all their idols shall stand silent." And I knew with a great dread that part of what we were all experiencing in the tumult of the world economic shake up was actually the Lord's JUDGEMENT on the trading systems of the world - But at the very same time, I sensed His great mercies start to flow and His overwhelming compassions and fervency of His love for His own Household - for YOU His child. And it seemed to me that the Lord was saying a very different thing to His children. And He said, "Wendy - I want you to tell My people that THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR. Things will get ROUGH Things will get TURBULENT BUT I WILL KEEP THEM SAFE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM Tell My people - It is time to fly by the instruments by the weapons of their warfare It is time for them to fly by FAITH BY ENDURANCE BY PERSERVERANCE FOR THEM TO WALK IN THE OPPOSITE SPIRIT OF THE AGE BECAUSE they have set their love on Me," the Lord said, "BECAUSE they have set their heart on Me, BECAUSE they have set their substance on Me, SURELY I will deliver them. And the Father said to Me, "I am MOVED - I am greatly MOVED FOR My people and BY the prayers of My people at this time." I SAW BABYLON ABOVE WALL ST. AND I SAW A NOOSE THAT WAS AROUND THE NECKS OF THE BANKERS, MANY BANKERS, INSTITUTIONS IN THE CITY And then I saw the word 'BABYLON' and I saw Babylon above WALL STREET and THE FEDERAL RESERVE was there above Wall Street. Then I saw a noose that was around the necks of the bankers, many bankers, institutions in the city and in Wall Street and then I saw the spirit of Babylon just pull on that noose and it started to get so tight around that noose and then I saw Jesus. Jesus Christ was there walking through Wall Street and He noted every Christian, every follower of His and there were many followers who were actually IN banks and institutions. I SAW A SPIDER'S WEB FROM WALL STREET TO WASHINGTON, DC TO THE CONGRESS UP TO THE WHITE HOUSE I saw believers there who were PRAYING and then I saw a spider's web, a huge spider's web, and I saw the spider's web go from Wall Street and it went to Washington and it went through Congress and the Senate and then up to the White House. And then I saw a very strange thing. I saw two huge FUEL LINES I did not understand (a day later I sensed strongly they represented OIL) and these two fuel lines came directly from Wall Street into the White House and into the Treasury, I saw the word 'TREASURY' in large black capitals. HIDDEN AGREEMENTS - HIDDEN COVENANTS - PRAY FOR TRUTH AND EXPOSURE OF DARKNESS And I felt that the Lord said there are HIDDEN AGREEMENTS - HIDDEN COVENANTS and I knew that the Lord said that we as believers need to pray at this time for TRUTH and to PRAY FOR EXPOSURE OF DARKNESS. That's what the Lord said. And He said that THERE IS GOING TO BE A SHIFT AND A SWAY - THERE'S GOING TO BE A GOD EXPOSURE OF PEOPLE'S ROLES THAT I BELIEVE WILL CONTINUE EVEN INTO THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION. THE ELECTION - AN END TO SHOWMANSHIP - THE LORD IS CALLING FOR SOBERMINDEDNESS - HE IS CALLING FOR MEASURED WISDOM And then the Lord said He is calling now for TEMPERANCE - He is calling for SOBER MINDEDNESS - He is calling for MEASURED WISDOM - And then He started speaking about the ELECTION. And about the SPIRIT ON THE MEDIA in this Election and I sensed the Lord's grieving - that it was time for us as the Lord's own to rise in prayer and bind the JEZEBELIC SPIRIT on the media and the BEGUILING SPIRITS and SPIRITS OF WITCHCRAFT that have been released - It's a showman spirit on this election. THE LORD'S DISPLEASURE - DIVISIVE ATTACKS - AN OPPOSING SPIRIT TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD And I sensed the Lord's displeasure with the divisiveness and attacks and devouring taking place between the parties in the Election - It was hard for Him to RELEASE HIS FULL BLESSING when the spirits operating over the parties in the Election were the opposing spirit to the KINGDOM OF GOD. And I sensed the enemy's pleasure over the divisiveness. I sensed many other things concerning the Election: "DO NOT TAKE STOCK IN THE APPEARANCE OF A MAN OR WOMAN - CALL OUT MY JOSEPHS - I AM CALLING FOR MEASURED WISDOM - I AM CALLING FOR TEMPERANCE - I AM CALLING MY JOSEPHS." It was imperative that as the Body of Christ we were not praying our own agendas but the Agenda of the ONLY ONE WHO TRULY KNOWS AND READS ALL HEARTS - AND TO PRAY FOR THE FATHER'S WILL AND ONLY THE FATHER'S WILL TO BE ACHIEVED IN THE ELECTION. No matter how much we feel we understand and know, we still see through a glass so darkly. And I heard the same words again - Temperance - Sobermindedness - Measured Wisdom. He said many other things, which I will share if the Lord releases me to do so in the weeks ahead but I am not led to share them at this time. However I sense with a great burden that the Lord is calling for His people to cover the Election with Heaven-directed prayer. TORNADO - EYE OF THE STORM PASSING OVER HOUSES And finally I saw this huge tornado and it was the financial situation upon the earth. And I saw it come and there was a whole city and it just went through the whole city and the city was devastated and I saw these houses that stayed and they were beautiful and they were completely intact. The eye of the storm passed over these houses but they were completely intact. Nothing was touched. Not their gardens or fences. And the Father said for those of you who have loved Him For those of you who have served HIM For those of you who have set your heart on Him And He kept saying, for those of you who have kept your substance on Him He said the destroyer will pass over you because the Blood of the Lamb, the living Blood of the Lamb was over all of those houses which represent the people who have truly loved the Lord and their substance is set on the Lord. And it was like a canopy, the protection of the Lord that even as the eye of the storm passed across your life, your finances, your mortgages, passed across the banks - The Lord promised THAT HE IS GOING TO KEEP YOU. THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO LET YOU DOWN, THAT HE WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU - THAT HE TRULY IS WITH YOU AND THAT YOU WILL SEE HIS PROVISION, YOU WILL SEE HIS LOVE AND THAT YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU HAVE INTACT IN HIS DAY. "And a thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you." Only a spectator you will be. EXCERPT FROM Journal of the Unknown Prophet - Legacy to a Renegade Generation This is another excerpt from Unknown Prophet written many years ago, but for all who have served the Lord faithfully with their substance, the Lord said: "But for those who have been found faithful to My Father in the monetary matters of the earth, to those who have not set their heart upon the possessions and the riches that I have blessed them with, but have laid up their treasures in Heaven and have given of My substance to feed the poor and those of lesser fortune than themselves- for those who have poured out My substance through the vehicles that I have raised up to preach the gospel in these end-times and have given of their generously and joyfully with a thankful heart - to these ones comes a multiplication, a multiplication not as in the past. For in the past it was a multiplication of five and of tens, but in this coming time, says the Lord, I shall multiply My substance supernaturally upon these ones that it shall be a hundred and a thousandfold. "And I shall yet open up unseen riches that until now have been hidden in the secret places of the Earth. And to these ones I shall pour out upon the gold of Ophir and the treasures of Solomon. I shall pour upon them the gold hidden deep under the earth and the oil, even the oil shall come into their hands. These will not have to tremble when My Judgement falls for I shall keep their substance safe in the eye of the storm. For their substance is indeed My substance and their inheritance is My inheritance. For they are the proven ones, the ones whose treasure is fixed in Me. "And so in these latter days you shall see them come forth as guiding lights rising from within the world system but rising from out of the world's system. Yes they shall rise. Watch now and see if they will not come forth. And through them My ministers shall be blessed, and shall do their exploits, and through their faithfulness in the hidden places so My Gospel shall yet be financed and shall be preached through all the nations of the Earth. So be it. Amen."

Star thats a awesome study you posted today on :EYE OF THE STORM- ELECTIONS-ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. It sure does describe our world today. It scares me to even think of it but I know thats all its all in Gods plan for the world so He can make His glorious return.
Cletra, we just finished up our last Bible Study to and will start up a new one in January after the Holidays. SpiderLily, Welcome. Its so nice to have you join us. I love the prayer you posted. "Pray For My friend". Hope to see you post often. We went to early church this morning because my hubby had to go check on the job, they are running behind some and he needs to get caught up on some things. I don't like him working on Sundays but sometimes he has to. We had a nice service this morning and we sang this song that I have always loved so much,so I printed up the lyrics for you all. God Bless. -------------------------------------------------- "I Can't Even Walk (Without You Holding My Hand" I thought, that number one, would always be me I thought, I would be, what I wanted to be I thought, that I could build, on life's sinking sand But I can't even walk, without you holding my hand I thought, that I could do, a lot on my own I thought, I could make it, all alone I thought of myself as a mighty big man But I can't even walk, without you holding my hand No, I can't even walk, without you holding my hand The mountain's too high, and the valley's too wide Down on my knees, I've learned to stand Lord, I can't even walk, without you holding my hand I think, that I'll make Jesus, my all-in-all When I'm in trouble, on his name I'll call If I don't trust in him, I'd be less than a man Lord, I can't even walk, without you holding my hand No, I can't even walk, without you holding my hand The mountain's too high, and the valley's too wide Down on my knees, I've learned to stand And I can't even walk, without you holding my hand

Hope you are having a great day.
Dedicated, we do need to give God all the glory and worship Him with all our hearts and soul. If everyone did that what a better world this would be. Jeanne, we do serve a awsome God. I just do not see how anyone could live without Him. I know He has been wonderful to me. Patty and Star where are you today? Miss you. Our Bible study for today... http:// ![]() ----------------------------------------- THE PRAYER OF JABEZ 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested." The most remarkable person in this chapter is Jabez. We are not told upon what account Jabez was more honourable than his brethren; but we find that he was a praying man. The way to be truly great, is to seek to do God's will, and to pray earnestly. Here is the prayer he made. Jabez prayed to the living and true God, who alone can hear and answer prayer; and, in prayer he regarded him as a God in covenant with his people. He does not express his promise, but leaves it to be understood; he was afraid to promise in his own strength, and resolved to devote himself entirely to God. Lord, if thou wilt bless me and keep me, do what thou wilt with me; I will be at thy command and disposal for ever. As the text reads it, this was the language of a most ardent and affectionate desire, Oh that thou wouldest bless me! Four things Jabez prayed for. 1. That God would bless him indeed. Spiritual blessings are the best blessings: God's blessings are real things, and produce real effects. 2. That He would enlarge his coast. That God would enlarge our hearts, and so enlarge our portion in himself, and in the heavenly Canaan, ought to be our desire and prayer. 3. That God's hand might be with him. God's hand with us, to lead us, protect us, strengthen us, and to work all our works in us and for us, is a hand all-sufficient for us. 4. That he would keep him from evil, the evil of sin, the evil of trouble, all the evil designs of his enemies, that they might not hurt, nor make him a Jabez indeed, a man of sorrow. God granted that which he requested. God is ever ready to hear prayer: his ear is not now heavy. Last edited by Pcola Girl : 10-27-2008 at 12:12 PM. |

Who am I by Casting Crowns
Just thought I would share this song, that's been a blessing to me! I pray that you're blessed!
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth Would care to know my name Would care to feel my hurt Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star Would choose to light the way For my ever wandering heart Not because of who I am But because of what You've done Not because of what I've done But because of who You are I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean Vapor in the wind Still You hear me when I'm calling Lord, You catch me when I'm falling And You've told me who I am I am Yours, I am Yours Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin Would look on me with love and watch me rise again Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea Would call out through the rain And calm the storm in me Not because of who I am But because of what You've done Not because of what I've done But because of who You are I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean Vapor in the wind Still You hear me when I'm calling Lord, You catch me when I'm falling And You've told me who I am I am Yours Not because of who I am But because of what You've done Not because of what I've done But because of who You are I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean Vapor in the wind Still You hear me when I'm calling Lord, You catch me when I'm falling And You've told me who I am I am Yours I am Yours Whom shall I fear Whom shall I fear 'Cause I am Yours I am Yours

Dedicated I loved the song. Thanks for posting it.
Patty if you are so far behind on reading your devotionals I can post tem less often so they won't pile up. Maybe once or twice a week. I can post other things, maybre just a memopry verse or a Bible quote or something short. That way6 you can have a chance to get caught up on your devotionals and Bible study. Sometimes I forget how busy others stay. I don't work and stay home alot so I get alot of Bible study in but I know you who are so busy with work and activities you may not have the time as I do. Soi I will just slow the studies up some for while and let you all get caught up. God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. - Bible - Matthew 5:8 Last edited by Pcola Girl : 11-02-2008 at 02:28 PM. |

Hi Ladies,
Here's a devotional about 'Saving Grace.' Hope you enjoy it. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* SALVATION: HOW CAN I BE SAVED? Act 16:31 So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." By grace you have been saved. God sent his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. Eph 1:7 In Him we have a redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), Eph 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. AM I GOING TO HEAVEN? This is probably the most important question, you could ask yourself. Your answer will have eternal consequences! WHAT IS THE HOPE OF THE CROSS? I know Christ died my death on the cross so that I may have eternal life. But in everyday life what does that mean to a believer. It certainly does not take the bumps out of the road of life. Sadly, you will hear many Christians when tragedy strikes them or a loved one, point to God and blame Him. The truth about Christ's painful death on the cross is that Christ did not come to remove our human sufferings but to show us a way through it to all of the heavenly blessings beyond. Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,. He has given us the strength to survive our tribulations until we are called home. His death on the cross is our guarantee! That is the hope of the cross. Assured Salvation: If you doubt your Savation, ask yourself these keys questions: Do I believe that Jesus the Christ died on the cross and rose again? Have I confessed my sins before God and repented laying them at His feet? Have I asked Jesus into my heart and life? Have I confessed my salvation by faith believing that I have been redeemed by the blood of the lamb? Do I believe that my eternal home is Heaven? If you answered 'yes' to these questions you have been saved by grace. Romans 10:8-13 NIV says, But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame. For there is no difference between Jew and Gentle--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

Hi again, this devotional is about Eternal life and Salvation. Enjoy.
"Through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." — Romans 5:2 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ * THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Through the graciousness of God and His infinite love, God is offering the greatest gift ever eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. Can anybody take away what God has given us? Can we lose our salvation? Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? God answers this question empathetically in Romans 8:38-39 with a loud NO! For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. It is the everlasting God (Rom 16:26) with his everlasting power (1Tim 6:16), who can not lie (Tit 1:2 in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,) who has made this promise of eternal life. John 3:15-16 "that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Once God has saved you there is absolutely NOTHING that can separate you from God. John 10:28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. This should bring peace to the troubled heart. We are in the hands of God and there is no safer place to be. No matter what the world throws at us we are more than conquers. Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Here are some other verses you may want to study. These are just a sampling on the theme of eternal life that resonates throughout the whole bible. 1John 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Romans 5:21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grae might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 1John 2:24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 1John 2:25 And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life. 1Ti 1:15-17 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 2Ti 1:8-10 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, Romans 6:22-23 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. God BLess, ![]() |

Dear Ladies, I was so touched by this story, that I wanted to share it with you. This is a beautiful true story conversion of a mulsim teenager named Dini to christianity. There are 4 videos to this story. Watch all 4 and be blessed.

Star loved the video's.
Patty, I was just wondering if I was going to fast for you all here with the devotionals. I sometimes forget that all people do not have as much free time as I do to read and study them. But you read them when you can. ________________________________________________ "...If then you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God..." - Colossians 3: 1-3 “…Set your minds and keep them set on what is above…” How we so easily lose that focus. We so often seem to take our eyes off what has eternal value, and tend to things that have earthly value. We should be focused on, and tending to things of eternal value. Nothing else matters. We can’t take anything with us. To be pursuing things of earthly value and importance, robs us of what really matters. We still remain discontented because it will never satisfy. Only what has eternal value will ever satisfy. Pursuing the riches of heaven above Satisfies our souls like nothing else does. |
