Please pray for all of our troops overseas and at home

If you want to do more, please pray for our troops. We are donors to "Operation Soldier Care." Tony and his helpers send so many packages to our lonely troops. He sent a package to our son pictured above when he served in Afghanistan in 2007.
We love our Troops.
Prayer:
"God please protect them whereever they are. We are very proud of all of you and so is God. Thank you Lord God in your name we pray. Amen."

Read each line very carefully...isn't it beautiful! Our Lord God knows each of us intimately. He is with us constantly. God made us wonderfully. God judges righteously.

It is best to read the Word and let the Spirit search us and speak to us, for then we discover the truth. We must never dispute with God, for He loves us and wants only the very best for us!!
Psalm 139
God's Omnipresence and Omniscience. For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
If I say, "Surely the (N)darkness will overwhelm me,
And the light around me will be night,"
Even the darkness is not dark to You,
And the night is as bright as the day
Darkness and light are alike to You.
For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand
When I awake, I am still with You.
O that You would slay the wicked, O God;
Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.
For they speak against You wickedly,
And Your enemies take Your name in vain.
Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
I hate them with the utmost hatred;
They have become my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way."



After being sick since Tuesday of this week, with fever and coughing. I was forced to stay at home for 3 days. It gave me time to reflect on God's word and pray for others who need prayers.
If you also would like to pray, would you add these to yours. Just a few of the prayers.

Mr. T has esophageal cancer and needs a cure and miracles.

Tina in Michigan has 3 children: 2 twins age 16, and a daughter age 15. After making a go-cart, an accident occurred. One of the twins a boy needed surgery. The Mother was able to pray with him before he went to the OR (Surgery). Their entire family are Christians. He had a severed artery and died in surgery.

Sarah also from Michigan, a friends friend. 14 years old is on a ventilor with Stephen Johnson Syndrome. A disorder of sloughing of the skin on the entire body, causing a 3rd degree burn. It is very painful. It usually occurs after an allergic type reaction from a drug, such as Sulfa. She is doing better, but this is a critical need for prayer.

A friend has a church in Africa and needs a school. My sister did a mission at that church location. They just lost their power for 4 days. Needed your prayers.

A mission we pray with several times a week. I am not at liberty to discuss too much information, but they start churches in India, Pakistan, Nepal, (they use the people of those countries to start the church groups. They have 30,000 new believers. They need prayers.

My husband who is a Surgical Oncologist, our mission is Melanoma Center of Hope. Can we be the hands, feet, and words of Jesus. Can we feed His sheep, the way He would like us to do. We give Bibles away and pray for the patients, only if they allow us to do so. They come in to have surgery for Malignant Melanoma, Merkel Cell Carcinoma, and Soft Tissue Sarcoma. We pray each day for the patients who are having surgery this week or in the future, ones who need healing or waiting for pathology. We pray for the ones who just got a bad report. The ones who just received a poor result from their pet or Cat scan. We pray for the ones who are alive because God's great great grace and healing. He doesn't sometime perform miracles, He does them everyday, all the time!!!

Use us all Lord!

Pentecost Acts 2

Acts 2 (New American Standard Bible)

Acts 2
The Day of Pentecost
1When (A)the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
2And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled (B)the whole house where they were sitting.

3And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.

4And they were all (C)filled with the Holy Spirit and began to (D)speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

5Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, (E)devout men from every nation under heaven.

6And when (F)this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language.

7(G)They were amazed and astonished, saying, "Why, are not all these who are speaking (H)Galileans?

8"And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?

9"Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and (I)Cappadocia, (J)Pontus and (K)Asia,

10(L)Phrygia and (M)Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya around (N)Cyrene, and (O)visitors from Rome, both Jews and [a](P)proselytes,

11Cretans and Arabs--we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God."

12And (Q)they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"

13But others were mocking and saying, "(R)They are full of sweet wine."

Peter's Sermon
14But Peter, taking his stand with (S)the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: "Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words.
15"For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, (T)for it is only the [b]third hour of the day;

16but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel:
17'(U)AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says,
'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND;
AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY,
AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS,
AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;
18EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN,
I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT
And they shall prophesy.
19'AND I WILL GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE
AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW,
BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.
20'THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS
AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD,
BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.
21'AND IT SHALL BE THAT (V)EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'

22"Men of Israel, listen to these words: (W)Jesus the Nazarene, (X)a man attested to you by God with miracles and (Y)wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--

23this Man, delivered over by the (Z)predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, (AA)you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.

24"But (AB)God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it (AC)was impossible for Him to be held in its power.

25"For David says of Him,
'(AD)I SAW THE LORD ALWAYS IN MY PRESENCE;
FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN.
26'THEREFORE MY HEART WAS GLAD AND MY TONGUE EXULTED;
MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE;
27BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT ABANDON MY SOUL TO (AE)HADES,
(AF)NOR ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY.
28'YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE;
YOU WILL MAKE ME FULL OF GLADNESS WITH YOUR PRESENCE.'

29"Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the (AG)patriarch David that he both (AH)died and (AI)was buried, and (AJ)his tomb is with us to this day.

30"And so, because he was (AK)a prophet and knew that (AL)GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE,

31he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of [c]the Christ, that (AM)HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY.

32"This Jesus (AN)God raised up again, to which we are all (AO)witnesses.

33"Therefore having been exalted (AP)to the right hand of God, and (AQ)having received from the Father (AR)the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has (AS)poured forth this which you both see and hear.

34"For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but he himself says:
'(AT)THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD,
"SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,
35UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET."'

36"Therefore let all the (AU)house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both (AV)Lord and Christ--this Jesus (AW)whom you crucified."

The Ingathering
37Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, (AX)what shall we do?"
38Peter said to them, "(AY)Repent, and each of you be (AZ)baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39"For (BA)the promise is for you and your children and for all who are (BB)far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself."

40And with many other words he solemnly (BC)testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, "Be saved from this (BD)perverse generation!"

41So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand [d](BE)souls.

42They were (BF)continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to (BG)the breaking of bread and (BH)to prayer.

43Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many (BI)wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.

44And all those who had believed [e]were together and (BJ)had all things in common;

45and they (BK)began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.

46(BL)Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and (BM)breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,

47praising God and (BN)having favor with all the people And the Lord (BO)was adding to their number day by day (BP)those who were being saved.

Ethiopian Receives Christ!!

An Ethiopian Receives Christ
25So, when they had solemnly (AH)testified and spoken (AI)the word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, and were (AJ)preaching the gospel to many villages of the (AK)Samaritans.
26But (AL)an angel of the Lord spoke to (AM)Philip saying, "Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to (AN)Gaza." (This is a desert road.)

27So he got up and went; and (AO)there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he (AP)had come to Jerusalem to worship,

28and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

29Then (AQ)the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."

30Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

31And he said, "Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

32Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:
"(AR)HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER;
AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT,
SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH.
33"(AS)IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY;
WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION?
FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH."

34The eunuch answered Philip and said, "Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?"

35Then Philip (AT)opened his mouth, and (AU)beginning from this Scripture he (AV)preached Jesus to him.

36As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! (AW)What prevents me from being baptized?"

37[[a]And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."]

38And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him.

39When they came up out of the water, (AX)the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing.

40But Philip found himself at (AY)Azotus, and as he passed through he (AZ)kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to (BA)Caesarea.

Jeremiah 1:1-10 Jeremiah's Call and Commisssion

Jeremiah 1
Jeremiah's Call and Commission
1The words of (A)Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in (B)Anathoth in the land of Benjamin,
2to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of (C)Josiah the son of (D)Amon, king of Judah, in the (E)thirteenth year of his reign.

3It came also in the days of (F)Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of (G)Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.

4Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,
5"Before I (H)formed you in the womb I knew you,
And (I)before you were born I consecrated you;
I have (J)appointed you a prophet to the nations."
6Then (K)I said, "Alas, Lord GOD!
Behold, I do not know how to speak,
Because (L)I am a youth."
7But the LORD said to me,
"Do not say, 'I am a youth,'
(M)Because everywhere I send you, you shall go,
And (N)all that I command you, you shall speak.
8"(O)Do not be afraid of them,
For (P)I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD.

9Then the LORD stretched out His hand and (Q)touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me,
"Behold, I have (R)put My words in your mouth.
10"See, (S)I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms,
(T)To pluck up and to break down,
To destroy and to overthrow,
(U)To build and to plant."

Isaiah 6:1-10 Isaiah's Commission

Isaiah 6
Isaiah's Vision
1In the year of (A)King Uzziah's death (B)I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.
2Seraphim stood above Him, (C)each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

3And one called out to another and said,
"(D)Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts,
The (E)whole earth is full of His glory."

4And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the (F)temple was filling with smoke.

5Then I said,
"(G)Woe is me, for I am ruined!
Because I am a man of (H)unclean lips,
And I live among a (I)people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the (J)King, the LORD of hosts."

6Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the (K)altar with tongs.

7He (L)touched my mouth with it and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and (M)your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven."

Isaiah's Commission
8Then I heard the (N)voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then (O)I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
9He said, "Go, and tell this people:
'Keep on (P)listening, but do not perceive;
Keep on looking, but do not understand.'
10"(Q)Render the hearts of this people (R)insensitive,
Their ears dull,
And their eyes dim,
(S)Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed."

The Prophetic Call to Samuel

1 Samuel 3
The Prophetic Call to Samuel
1Now (A)the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD before Eli And (B)word from the LORD was rare in those days, visions were infrequent.
2It happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place (now (C)his eyesight had begun to grow dim and he could not see well),

3and (D)the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was,

4that the LORD called Samuel; and he said, "(E)Here I am."

5Then he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, lie down again." So he went and lay down.

6The LORD called yet again, "Samuel!" So Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he answered, "I did not call, my son, lie down again."

7(F)Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, nor had the word of the LORD yet been revealed to him.

8So the LORD called Samuel again for the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli discerned that the LORD was calling the boy.

9And Eli said to Samuel, "Go lie down, and it shall be if He calls you, that you shall say, 'Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10Then the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for Your servant is listening."

11The LORD said to Samuel, "Behold, (G)I am about to do a thing in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.

What a friend we have in Jesus

Author Joseph Scriven: A man who had experienced the friendship of Jesus through a life filled with personal tragedy. When Scriven was a young man in Ireland, his fiancee' accidentally drowned on the eve of their wedding. Soon after this, he set sail for Canada. He seemed destined to live his life alone, with Jesus as his only close friend. In Canada, he determined to be a friend to those in need, and he became known as the "Good Samaritan of Port Hope.'
He never intended to publish this hymn. He wrote the words to accomapany a letter to his mother in Ireland when she became ill. He had no material resources to send her-only a reminder that the most perfect of friends, Jesus himself, was nearby.
Later, when Scriven himself was ill, a visiting friend noticed the hymn scribbled on scratch paper near his bed. "Did you write this?" asked the friend. "Well, not completely," Scriven answered, "The Lord and I did it between us."

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear,
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer.

O what peace we often forfeit
O what needless pain we bear.
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and havy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge-
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there. by JOSEPH SCRIVEN

14"You are My (C)friends if (D)you do what I command you.

16"(F)You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and (G)bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that (H)whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

Just as I am

Today, I wanted to think about the day, He called me. It is so vivid in my mind. Read the words below, can you imagine? I had a broken heart, a 10 out of 10 as being the worst heart break you could imagine. It's 1972. My heart felt totally cracked, and lying open. At 15 years old, I had lost a lot of weight and I was sickly. My 3 year old brother's image still lay open in my mind. In 1971, the year before: His image of being in a coma in the ICU bed. He was on that Baby Bird ventilator, and I can still hear the quick swish swish swish, of continuous air being pushed into his little lungs. His hand flaccid. That day he left this earth. In my mind, I have always pictured Jesus holding him, above the bed, and taking him to heaven.

So here I was in Birmingham Alabama, listening to Billy Graham, with his hand calling me up to come "Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me.

If you haven't said this prayer, would you now?

"Dear God, I know that You love me. I confess my sin and need of salvation. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and arose from the grave. I turn away from my sin and place my faith in Jesus as my Savior and Lord. I want to follow You with my life. Amen."

Prayer: "Jesus thank you for this day. Please use all of us in your special day today, to serve others. Whatever that is You want us to do. We will serve our fellow man while serving you. We will love you first with all our heart, soul, mind, and love our fellowman as ourself. Thank you Lord Jesus, and forgive us, of all our sins. Please use our words, lips, hands, and feet, as Yours. Place people in our path today and tomorrow, who You want us to serve. Thank you Jesus and in Your name we pray, and Your will be done. Amen."

Just as I Am

1. Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

2. Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee Whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

3. Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

4. Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

5. Just as I am Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Every eye will see Him and every knee will bow!!

After Jesus died, was buried, and rose in three days, he appeared on the earth with the disciples: Then:


"The Ascension

9 And after He (Jesus) had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11 They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:9-11


He will come to get us believers:


"And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory." Matthew 24:30

"Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." Matthew 26:64

"Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory." Mark 13:26

"And He said to His disciples, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. 23 “For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 “Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! 25 “And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life’s span? 26 “If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters? 27 “Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 28 “But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith! 29 “And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying. 30 “For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. 31 “But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. 32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.
33 “Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys. 34 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Be in Readiness

35 “Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit. 36 “Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks. 37 “Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them. 38 “Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves." Luke 12: 22-38

Those Who Died in Christ

"13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words." 1Thessalonians 4:13-18

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John, 2 who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near.

Message to the Seven Churches

4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood— 6 and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen. "
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:1-8

"Dear God, I know that You love me. I confess my sin and need of salvation. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and arose from the grave. I turn away from my sin and place my faith in Jesus as my Savior and Lord. I want to follow You with my Life. Amen."


Hurry, Hurry, Hurry! He is wating for you to open the door to your heart so he can coume in. Do you notice in the picture, that there isn't a door knob on the side of Jesus. You must be the one to open the door.


I pray that you will right now. Don't wait till tomorrow because there might not be a tomorrow. All the little ones will leave with Christ, do you want to come with the little children. He is waiting for you right now!

Be Prepared with all emergencies!
