Welcome All of My Friends! God Bless You.

Soul food for the Day: The CENTER...

The center chapter of the BIBLE is Psalm 118.. there are 594 chapters before and after Psalm 118
And if we will add this we will get 1188... in which the center verse of the BIBLE is PSALM 118:8
What is the significant of Psalm 118:8 in God's perfect will for our lives?
It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.-- Psalm 118:8


When things get tough, always remember faith doesn't get you around trouble..
it gets you through it!
When you relinquish the desire to control your future you obtain happiness...

Prayer:
Father God, bless my friend in whatever it is that you know he/she may be needing this day....
May their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have closer relationship with you. Amen...

I enjoyed your comments on depression. God bless you love Buddy.

Thanks so much for your kindness Betty. If (or should I say when) I want or need to share a hard time, I'll let you know. It's sounds like you've been there, done that. I have too.
Something that's helped me in the past is remembering that Jesus is in this boat with me!! It's good knowing you're in the boat too! love, Darlene

Hi Betty, I just found "all about God.net" today. I've experienced a lot of depression in my life. I'm considering joining the group dealing with depression as a Christian.
I want you to know I really appreciate the things you said on page one of that group.

Greetings in jesus name my dear sister


A married lady was expecting a birthday gift from her husband.
For many months she had admired a beautiful diamond ring in a showroom,
and knowing her husband could afford it, she told him that was all she
wanted.
As her birthday approached, this lady awaited signs that her husband
had purchased the diamond ring.
Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her husband called her into his study.
Her husband told her how proud he was to have such a good wife, and told her how much he loved her.
He handed her a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, the wife opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible,
with the wife's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, she raised her voice to her husband and said, 'With all your
money you give me a Bible?' And stormed out of the house, leaving her
husband.
Many years passed and the lady was very successful in business. She
managed to settle for a more beautiful house and a wonderful family,
but realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought perhaps she
should go to visit him. She had not seen him for many years.
But before she could make arrangements, she received a telegram
telling her that her ex-husband had passed away, and willed
all of his possessions to her. She needed to come back immediately
and take care of things.
When she arrived at her ex-husband's house, sudden sadness and
regret filled her heart. She began to search through her ex-husband's
important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as she had left it
years before.
With tears, she opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. Her
ex-husband had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11,
'And if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more shall your Heavenly Father, who is in heaven,
give what is good to those who ask Him?'
As she read those words, a tiny package dropped from the back of
the Bible. It had a diamond ring, with her name engraved on it --
the same diamond ring which she saw at the showroom.
On the tag was the date of her birth, and the words.'LUV U ALWAYS'.
How many times do we miss God's blessings, because they are not
packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this.
Do not spoil what you have, by desiring what you have not; but remember
that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
IF YOUR GIFT IS NOT PACKAGED THE WAY YOU WANT IT,
IT'S BECAUSE IT IS BETTER PACKAGED THE WAY IT IS.
ALWAYS APPRECIATE LITTLE THINGS;
THEY USUALLY LEAD YOU TO BIGGER & BETTER THINGS.

'The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.'


HAVE A GREAT DAY

recieved an email and thought i should share it with you

There's Power In The Name Of Jesus! -


"Be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5:18b-21 Do you know the power there is in the Name of Jesus? May we never forget that God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to save His people from their sins.

This is a very important fact for you to know as you stand for the healing and restoration of your marriage. You need to know that there is only One person who can rescue and save your spouse and His Name is Jesus. The next hindrance that we are going to learn on the Lord's Day is not praying in Jesus' Name. Jesus taught His disciples to use His name. "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.

You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14:12-14 Do you know the power in the Name of Jesus? When you do not know what else to pray and you are hurting from the pain of separation or divorce cry out saying the name, "Jesus." If you are feeling weary, tired, discouraged, or distressed, say the name, "Jesus." He will hear your cry and meet your needs.

Every day pray short and long prayers as regularly as you eat. There is such power, healing and deliverance praying in the name of "Jesus." "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." John 15:16 These scriptures are very powerful when you read them by themselves.


I encourage you to do your homework and read all the additional scriptures that I have listed. The secret to having prayers answered is remaining "in Christ." The closer you and I live loving and serving our Lord and Savior through prayer, studying scriptures, and worshiping Him, the more our prayers will be in alignment with His person, His character, His will, His nature and according to the powerful words of the Jesus Christ. Then our prayers will be more effective when we pray because we are being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and wanting to serve and pray for others as the Lord taught His disciples.

Today as we go and worship the Lord may you pray two scriptures with your husband or wife's name in them. I pray that you have already started praying your spouse's name in scripture. There is such power in praying God's Word with your husband, wife or child's name in them. Remember that God's Word will not return void. (Isaiah 55:11) May you pray for your beloved spouse and lift up all prodigals, as we all pray in agreement and in unity in the mighty Name of Jesus.


"I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'" Acts 26:17-18 "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.


The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." Acts 2:38-39 Let me share how one day when Peter and John were going into the temple at the time of prayer how they shared the power of their Lord Jesus. You and I must be willing to be used every day sharing the love and power of our Lord Jesus Christ and proclaiming that God can heal and resurrect hurting and dead marriages.


"One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.


Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!" So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you.


In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him." Acts 3:1-10 Then Peter continues to speak to all the people who saw the beggar jumping up and down, praising God.



"You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see." Acts 3:15-16 Are you trusting in your Lord? Jesus Christ has all your answers, if you call on the Name of Jesus. Today, examine your heart. Whom are you trusting in each day, yourself or in Jesus Christ? When Jesus walked on this earth, He did many miracles, raised people from the dead, healed the sick, lame, the blind, and He delivered people from demons.


You and I must never forget that your spouse needs to be delivered or set free from the sins that they have been involved in. Your Lord Jesus Christ is able to set free anyone from the addiction of pornography, sexual immorality, alcohol, drugs or gambling, hardness of heart, or unforgiveness. Nothing is too hard for your Lord Jesus.


When you write and tell us of your circumstances, I want to cry out to you and say, "Call on the Name of Jesus. He is the only One that can change your life. He is the only One who can set your spouse free." If Jesus does not do it the day that you want, then remember the story of Mary and Martha who had to wait for the best friend, Jesus to heal Lazarus who was very sick, but Jesus was late and Lazarus died, but JESUS, raised him from the dead. Your Lord Jesus Christ will raise and heal your dead marriage from the dead, IF you keep calling on the Name of Jesus walking in faith and victory. Never give up on your Lord Jesus Christ. What is a better alternative? Whom are you going to serve?


There is victory in the Name of Jesus and Satan will have to flee! May I share the lyrics of the chorus,"In The Name Of Jesus:" In the name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus, We have the victory; In the name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus, Satan will have to flee; Tell me who will stand before us, When we call on that great name. Jesus, Jesus; Precious Jesus; We have the victory!(Author Unknown - Used by Permission CCLI #1273562) What powerful words for you and me to learn to sing. We need to call on that great Name to save us from all the enemies' darts. Satan is defeated and is trying to give us fear and anxiety due to many of our circumstances, but our Lord Jesus is greater than any other problem. Turn to your Lord Jesus and trust in His mighty power. Never forget that Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord came down to earth to shed His Blood for all sinners! Remember, every knee will bow down to Jesus. Now start calling on the powerful Name of Jesus!


"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:9-11


Homework:Look up additional scriptures: Matthew 1:21; Mark 9:38-40; John 20:30-31; Acts 4:15-22; Acts 5:17-41; Acts 15:25-27; Acts 16:16-34; Acts 21:12-14; I Corinthians 1:1-3,10; I Corinthians 6:9- 11; Colossians 3:16-18; 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12; 2 Thessalonians 3:5-7; I John 3:21-24.
