CARING For ONE Another.

Posted

Imagine this happening ....... On a Sunday morning during service, a 2,000 member congregation was surprised to see two men enter, both covered from head to toe in black and carrying submachine guns. One of the men proclaimed, "Anyone willing to take a bullet for Christ remain where you are." Immediately, the choir fled... the deacons fled... and most of the congregation fled.... Out of the 2,000 there only remained around 20. The man who had spoken took off his hood... He then looked at the preacher And said "Okay Pastor, I got rid of all the hypocrites... Now you may begin your service. Have a nice day !" And the two men turned and walked out. TOO DEEP TO NOT PASS ON .. *Funny how simple it is for people to trash God . and then wonder why the world is in the condition it is today.... *Funny how we believe what the newspapers say... but question what the Bible says... *Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven... provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says. or is it scary? *Funny how someone can say "I believe in God"... but still Follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes"in God). *Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire... but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, you think twice about sharing. *Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace... but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and work place. *Funny, isn't it? Funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday. but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week. Are you laughing? *Funny how when you go to forward this message...you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe... or what they will think of you for sending it. *Funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me... ... than what God thinks of me. Are you thinking? Will you share this with people you care about? Or not? May the Lord bless you and keep you, May the Lord make His face to shine upon you, And be gracious to you; May the Lord lift up His favor upon you And give you His peace Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up.

Being Brutally Honest

Posted

It's kind of hard for me to type this, but I had to be reminded that I may be helping someone else out there who may not be as corageous to come forth like Lazarus did when Jesus called him from the dead. But at this point in my .38 special years of living---I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS OR FEELS CAUSE THEY DON'T DEFINE ME---IT'S WHAT I DO THAT DOES! I am a recovering alcohoilc and drug addict who has been clean and sober now for 10 months as of Thursday, November 20th, 2008.

I said that to say this: I'm not ashamed of my anonymity, [but I can understand for those who may have their jobs threatened and I wouldn't DARE give their names for nothing in or out of this world.] The point that I'm making is that when you live for GOD and have a true desire to do right and give up your old ways with the help of a loving and understanding GOD, He will bless you. I wear size 16 extra wide shoes and it's been hard to find me shoes in my town and if they're available, I have to pay a deposit, which I don't have.

I wrote over 30 letters from September to different shoe companies but only got 3 out b/c those were the only addresses that I had. As of prayer and the leap of faith, Miss Monica Garrett, of Nike South HQ blessed me with a pair of brand new size 17 Air Hurauche Elite II midtop sneakers. YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT GOD CAN'T DO!!! So if anyone has doubts about prayers being answered, I'm a living testimony and I thank GOD that I'm still alive clean and sober just for today. GOD keep you and strengthen you.

Being Grateful

Posted

Sometimes we need to sit back from our normal hustle nad bustle, take a deep breath, and give thanks to God for what he has done in our lives---whether we understand it or not. There are people who would cut off the head of their own family members to come to America or to be in the position that we are in b/c we whine and cry and complain too darn much---GOD HATES A COMPLAINER!!! I know because I used to be one and it's in the WORD, so don't get mad at me. If you really and truly understand this, then we would be thankful for the ones that He has blessed. Obama is goin to be our 44th and 1st black president of the u>S>A>, but don't get caught up in the fact that he's just black, but intelligent, has a game plan, and is sincerely focused on making a real change to pull us out of the MUCK and MIRE. With Christ, he's gonna take us much higher. So count your blessings b/c there's someone out there who has it worse than we do. PRAY PRAY PRAY! It's not me speaking. Warning comes before destruction. Be kind to others and tereat people like you would want to be treated even if they don't. This is the true love and passion of the Christ to love everyone or it's all in vain and for nothing! [see Romans 13 for verification]. GOD bless you all.

AMERICA GET READY FOR CHANGE!

DON'T 4GET 2 SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK ONE HOUR TONIGHT!!! For all of those who are registered to vote, don't forget to vote on Super Tuesday, Nov. 4th, 2008. Now it does matter who you vote for because if you're like me being sick and tired of the lies and corruption from the past eight years, you may want to vote for Barack Obama, who is not just black, but qualified and has new fresh ideas and is for the people. MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT WEAR THE T-SHIRTS OF THE TWO CANDIDATES TO THE ELECTION POLLS OR THEY WILL NOT LET YOU IN TO VOTE---LIKE THAT'S REALLY GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE---BUT WE WILL PLAY THEIR GAME, AND WE WILL WIN AND OVERCOME THE ADVERSITIES. HISTORY WILL BE MADE!!! MAKE SURE THAT YOU CLEARLY MAKE YOUR SELECTIONS ON YOUR BALLOT FOR WHO YOU VOTE FOR. AMERICA, IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE THAT YOU CAN BELIEVE IN! MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT. NO EXCUSES! AND CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL CITIES FOR THE TIME THE POLLS OPEN AND CLOSE. Most times are from 7a.m. to 7p.m. DON'T WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE TO VOTE AND PRAY THAT GOD'S WILL BE DONE. This is your brotha the mandingo warrior signing off. GOD Bless and good night.

Anger, Jealousy, and Envy [A.J.E.]

Posted

ANGER: Definition-A strong feeling of displeasure and belligerence aroused by a wrong. JEALOUSY: Definition-Feeling of discontent and longing to possess something awarded to or acheived by another. ENVY Definition-Feeling of resentment thagt another has gained something that one more rightfully deserves. Everyday all over the world, someone loses their life or is a victim of domestic violence because of the tribeca [three-sided or three prong fork] that we allow into our lives, A.J.E. which are tools of the enemy, Satan, WHO IS STILL A LIAR!!! And the truth is not in him. I've been dealing with a sensitive matter which has caused me more grief than I should've allowed. I am in love with a beautiful woman who has a family, but I've been jealous that another man has been getting more of her time than I did. It pisses me the phock off. Furthermore, I am jealous that he has gained her trust, vehicle, and the family perks. I truly care for her, but she doesn't seem to notice me unless she needs me to do something for her, which I don't mind. But I haven't said anything because I still believe that the LORD will turn things around in his time---not mine. I have a longing to posess the love that a man has for a woman [called EROS:Short for erotic, passionate and tender to each other needs and wants.] I am nobody's fool, however, I don't like being lied to and everyone else knows that something is going on except you---or so they think. Moving on, I have said and spoke every prayer possible to remove the anger, jealousy, and envy from my heart and replace it with a healthy love, peace, joy and happiness. I welcome all comments, whatever. GOD keep You.
