Concerns for our government?
I had a wonderful day of ministry to James at the gas station in Glen Rock. He's confessed that he really cares about people and enjoys helping them but, religion had been shoved down his throat as a child. As a result, he was never interested in knowing about God. It was a such a blessing to share the Truth with him, to share testimonies of Christ with him, and encourage him. He made a decision to seek God and the Truth by reading the Bible and praying.
James' main concern is for our government. This Word should encourage us all:
Isa 9:6 For a Child is born to us, a Son is given to us. The government will rest on His shoulders. And He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of His ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven's Armies will make this happen!
I also had visited York earlier to help a lady get food at the food pantry. It was a trying time for me-I got lost (don't know my way around York!) How embarrassing! and how blessed to be kept humble!
Act 5:41 The apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer disgrace for the name of Jesus.
Act 5:42 And every day, in the Temple and from house to house, they continued to teach and preach this message: "Jesus is the Messiah." (God with us!)
Amen.

How Will They Hear?
Joh 5:25 "And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it's here now, when the dead will hear My voice—the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live.
Approximately, 2 pm Saturday afternoon,
the 20th of September, 2008
Maple Street in York, PA was fairly empty.
About 2:20 Misha, Gina, and her son just returned home from the funeral of a teenager who was killed the other day-shot to death.
Gina's son; his t-shirt has a picture in memory of Shamar, who was shot and killed. They had just come from his funeral.
This is very sad, I told Gina's son, but you must be bold and preach the gospel.
The killing must stop.
If they don't hear the Truth, how will they know?
If no one tells them, how will they hear?
Later, on Pine Street, another lady told us a ten year old had been stabbed to death, multiple times, "for the hell of it..."
Wars and rumors of wars...
We, Scotty and I, witnessed to several "believing" women who won't give up their relationships with unbelieving men --then wonder why they suffer and are not healed:
Isa 6:9 And He said, "Yes, go, and say to this people, 'Listen carefully, but do not understand. Watch closely, but learn nothing.'
Isa 6:10 Harden the hearts of these people. Plug their ears and shut their eyes. That way, they will not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their hearts and turn to Me for healing."
We prayed earlier in the week for a fellow who needs healing-
He felt the changes in his body as we prayed, but still asked for a sign:
Mat 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign. And there shall no sign be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah. And He left them and went away.
This is the Word the Lord spoke to me Saturday evening: from Isaiah 7,
"Unless your faith is firm, I can not make you stand firm."
Isa 7:14 So, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel--God with us.

..that none should perish
Mat 6:1 "Watch out! Don't do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
Mat 6:2 When you give to someone in need, don't do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get.
Mat 6:3 But when you give to someone in need, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
Mat 6:4 Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Mat 6:5 "When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get.
Mat 5:16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
Mat 5:17 "Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.
Mat 5:18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God's law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.
God's purpose:
that none should perish
perish-G622
ἀπόλλυμι
apollumi
ap-ol'-loo-mee
From G575 and the base of G3639; to destroy fully (reflexively to perish, or lose), literally or figuratively: - destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

Do You Know How...?
...to enter in
...to really worship
Psa 95:1 Come, let's shout praises to GOD, raise the roof for the Rock who saved us!
Psa 95:2 Let's march into his presence singing praises, lifting the rafters with our hymns!
Psa 95:3 And why? Because GOD is the best, High King over all the gods.
Psa 95:4 In one hand he holds deep caves and caverns, in the other hand grasps the high mountains.
Psa 95:5 He made Ocean--he owns it! His hands sculpted Earth!
Psa 95:6 So come, let us worship: bow before him, on your knees before GOD, who made us!
Psa 95:7 Oh yes, he's our God, and we're the people he pastures, the flock he feeds. Drop everything and listen, listen as he speaks:
Psa 95:8 "Don't turn a deaf ear as in the Bitter Uprising, As on the day of the Wilderness Test,
Psa 95:9 when your ancestors turned and put me to the test.
Psa 95:10 For forty years they watched me at work among them, as over and over they tried my patience. And I was provoked--oh, was I provoked! 'Can't they keep their minds on God for five minutes? Do they simply refuse to walk down my road?'
Psa 95:11 Exasperated, I exploded, 'They'll never get where they're headed, never be able to sit down and rest.'"
Do you know how to rest in Him?
(I'm still working on it:)))
Be blessed!

AmaZING!! God!!
Hell is vanquished! Amen
In Glen Rock, PA, with my Lord by my side, a Mighty Warrior,
He is mighty to save.
We've weathered a small storm (My Lord and I)
He said He'll take us through high waters and we will not drown
We will pass through fire and not burn (Isaiah 43)
though we pass through the valley of the shadow of death,
and we will fear no evil-
His rod and His staff comforts us (Psalm 23)
We will dwell in the shadow of El Shaddai
though a thousand fall at my side, and 10 thousand at my right hand,
no plague shall come near my dwelling (Psalm 91)
He's shown me wonderful and beautiful things in death
And I praise God for the resurrection
I praise God because I no longer live,
but Christ in me lives!!
So, the Lord told me to testify.
What the Lord has shown me this week
is that I am precious in His sight and the apple of His eye.
(It's so much more awesome when it comes straight from His mouth and not man...)
He has shown me that I am gifted.
Not just with talents of the world, but with Spiritual gifts
and that I am valuable! (really? wow.)
And He has shown me that He still sits on the throne!
We praise You Almighty God,
Jehovah, our healer, our strength, and our peace.
I thank Him for Divine appointments,
for boldness,
for the gift to preach the gospel, whether in season or out,
for His wonderful Agape' love
and the fruit of His Spirit: peace, patience, kindness, gentless, long-suffering, love, joy, and self-control! (Galations 5)
for friends, especially, Christ, as my best friend and the lover of my soul
for old friends and new, especially those zealous for our Lord and His kingdom
for faithful friends, forever true
for reconciliation...
for salvation!
and souls!
Amen
with love to my brothers and sisters in Christ,
thank you for your prayers and love. May God bless you richly and return a hundred fold blessing! Amen? Amen!
