<p> God So loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Freely given, just open your hearts to receive. Jesus has said that no one or no thing can pluck you out of his Father’s hands, the ones the Father has given him. Sealed for eternity, destined to reign with Jesus for all of eternity.

<p> God So loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Freely given, just open your hearts to receive. Jesus has said that no one or no thing can pluck you out of his Father’s hands, the ones the Father has given him. Sealed for eternity, destined to reign with Jesus for all of eternity. A birth right? Chosen from the place of Alpha picked by God to live to Omega. Your Savior Jesus hung on Calvary’s Cross and looked down through the decades of time and saw you and declared ’It is Finished!’</p>
<p> A God above all gods, a God with great mercy and a compassion that sends chills up your neck. The Bible says this God has placed every star in the Heavens and calls each one by its name. I don’t know about you, but that gives me chills. This God, Jehovah is his name and no one knows or has a clue where or when he appeared in existence. If there is something or someone who is greater than Jehovah and actually created him all I can say is, he created someone that is beyond the word ’marvelous.’ I believe this mystery is one that will never be revealed. Whatever event happened that made God appear I shout ’Hallelujah’, my God is the ultimate expression of Love, Compassion, Mercy and Righteousness. My God is good all the time and all the time he is good.</p>
<p> Jesus walked this earth and displayed to everyone that encountered him a Devine nature that lent himself as a servant, sent to earth not to condemn man, but to set him free. That same Blessed freedom is available to anyone willing to open their heart and invite this mighty God Jesus in. Jesus said ’I stand at the door and knock, if you open the door I will come in and sup with you.’ People will tell you that they have found Jesus, but the truth is that Jesus found you before you were born. </p>
<p> The Bible is the only book that has prophesied the future and every single prophesy has come to pass. Alpha and Omega knows your beginning, everything in between and has seen the day he will call you home. We have been made in his wonderful image and we shall never, never die. Our souls have been created as eternal. God has chosen to give us a free will and we shall be given the opportunity to decide where we will spend eternity.</p>
<p> I believe the world events unfolding before our eyes are preparing for Jesus return. Jesus is about to return and remove his church from the earth. Decision time is today. Jesus never wavered when he carried the Cross up Calvary. He came to this earth with the knowledge that he was born to die for each and every person on earth. Muslim, Hindu, atheist and Christian alike God is not a respecter of person. Jesus has declared ‘ I am the Way, The Truth and The Life and no one comes to the Father except through me’ </p>
<p> If the Bible is indeed the spoken word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and written by God’s chosen vessels to write it, then it is a fact that Jesus return is very near. If you are waiting for a more appropriate time to make a decision for Christ, please don’t wait until the trumpet sounds and the Heavens part, because it will be too late. In the mind of Jehovah your destiny was declared before you entered this earth, but the decision is yours to make.</p>
<p> Regardless whatever his holding you back or whatever you feel you will have to give up to live for Jesus I can guarantee you that Jesus will give you something far greater than all you give up. His Love for you has extended throughout the ages and he calls out to you to surrender all and join him in eternal bliss.</p>

<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Sing unto the Lord a new song. Praise him with every breath. Magnify his name above all names in Heaven and earth. Give him glory daily for his tender mercies. Defend his wonderful name to any whom would speak blasphemy. Count the many blessings the Almighty has given to you. Acknowledge the Lord in everything you do, think and say. Bless the Lord for the wellness in your mind and body. Thank your Creator for your family, friends and home. Tell God everyday that he and he alone is your substance to exist. The rain, the sun, the fertile soil, seeds that grow, the bees that pollinate, all give heed to Praise God. The young child healed of cancer, the old man that can suddenly walk, the homeless person who’s received a meal, a place to sleep for the evening, send an echoing effect of Glory to God, my provider! Thank you Lord for blessing me with my wife, my husband, that dear friend that never forgets my birthday. Thank you God for giving me the wisdom to make choices in my life that will bless my loved ones and honor you. Happy in my heart and spirit that Jesus has blessed me with another day on earth to Praise his Holy Name. All praise and honor to you Father for my eyes that can take in all the wonderment of this earth….sunsets, full moons, waterfalls, vast oceans, towering mountains, valleys that are greener than green, animals of every shape and size with different natures that your marvelous mind has given to them, Glory to your name! Praise your name Mighty God for fond memories of a simpler more innocent time of one’s youth. Great are your ways and too mind boggling to imagine, you’ve planned our journey before our existence, enjoy, hate, cry aloud, laugh out loud, shout on a hillside, leap for joy, dance and sing a beautiful song….everything in a trip through life, that’s not mindless, no it has purpose, your life has meaning. You are God’s design, your life is a testimony to his greatness, his power to change situations, surroundings, people in your life, sickness, fear, death, joy, laughter, peace….this all, his road map of your existence. Maybe the day’s offerings don’t make your heart pound or have you smiling ear to ear, maybe you’ve forgotten what it feels like to shed a tear, to lose a loved one, to see a son born, to watch a sunrise over the ocean. Don’t let the cares of this world rob you of what’s really important. OUR CREATOR LOVES US, HE PUT YOU EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE TODAY, YOU COULD NEVER HAVE CHANGED ONE THING ABOUT IT!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">JUST SLOW DOWN, LOOK AROUND, START TO BE THANKFUL. LIFE REALLY IS GOOD AND THE ONE WHO GIVES THIS TO YOU DAILY…. IS GREAT!</p>

<p align="center">Have You Sacrificed Today?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">What can I say that hasn’t been said? My endurance throughout these trials has been sorely tested. Friendships have been strained and dissolved, but your Love and Compassion has remained constant. My prayers have been repetitive and your response has kept me wondering. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">You keep no schedule that is pleasing to man. Who is man to question the expediency of the Lord? Our thoughts are shameful in you view, on the day of our answering are there any that don’t grieve you?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">My heart feels empty and my emotions hollow, God where is my Peace, Joy, and Emotional well being? Lord I’m not saddened to become old, my sadness is that I was never young.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Idol worship is an abomination to you Father and humanity doesn’t even have the honesty to admit to themselves what they worship. A Godly nation….hardly, we’re a mere shell of the principals we were founded on. Our sustaining value is our concerted effort to spread the Gospel throughout the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Were you thankful today? Have you offered God a kind word for your safety he’s given? Have you given of yourself, has any kindness been shown to your brother today? Can God look at you this day and say you’ve given me a sense of joy this day?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Did sacrifice enter your thoughts today or were you too self consumed with your habitual moaning and complaining? Can you lie down tonight with a sense of peace that you gave God the best you had today?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">I believe he wants each of us to sacrifice something each day.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Unlike the woman who gave her last coin did your contribution today feel sacrificial?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Cleanse me Dear God, make my thought life a pleasant offering before your throne. Let every intention of my heart be pure and wholesome. Try me Father, everyday conform me into the image of your Son.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Defeat in me a haughty spirit and a proud and boastful nature. May humbleness be my shadow and meekness my constant companion.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">May the words of my mouth bring honor to you Father. Help me Holy Spirit to perform my job as to honor my Father. I pray that the lies of the enemy be totally defeated and the grip he holds on my loved ones be broken and cast out in Jesus name.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Lord I shall cherish the day when I see your prophetic words fulfilled, that a new era in my life will evolve.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Help me to make a concerted effort to Praise you throughout my busy schedule. You are my substance and provision. May love radiate from my life that the hindrance of Satan shall be defeated. Let everything I do, I say, I think, act and react have one meaning only….to honor and glorify your Holy Name.88888</p>

<p align="justify">The Ride Of Your Life</p>
<p align="justify">Around and around we go on this merry go round called life. How many times have your said ‘STOP’ I want to get off….get drunk out of your mind, snort another line, main line some heroin go the distance on another one night stand or blow your mind out in a car.</p>
<p align="justify">Man for the minutes you were able to launch your mind in to nothingness the merry go round was one cool ride, but how about when the ride began to slow down and the attendant said ‘time to get off’….life was still there, the nagging girlfriend, the job you hate, all the bills you can’t pay, a promise of a job that never materialized. Ok Mr. attendant, how much for an ounce….$80.00, sure I’ve got that from the phone bill I didn’t pay, let me climb aboard for another ride on the ‘high road’. WOW! What a roller coaster ride, a line of coke and a shot of heroin, life’s ok, no pain, no problems, no heartache….FASTER….SLOWER….FASTER. Aw naw, we don’t have to stop….reality is waiting at the gate, the ride attendant says get off the coaster, times up, life’s calling you.</p>
<p align="justify">Your head is pounding as you frantically search your pockets for whatever cash there is for one more ride on the escape train. Five dollars, just the right amount for a fifth of wine and one more wait in line. Chug a lug, chug a lug, whoa here it comes, the numbness I crave, my ride out of here, this feels good and this ride should get me through the rest of the night.</p>
<p align="justify">MAN….what’s that bright light and why’s my head keep spinning, man I’m sick let me get in the bathroom….uggggh! Last night was crazy, I’m nevery going to do that again.</p>
<p align="justify">Hey man, what you doing tonight? Nothing. Let’s go get high, take ride on the powder line train. Yeah, Ok. Crack Express ready to roll, give me a hit dude, let’s escape this world. Dude I can’t feel my face and arms, dude, dude, what’s up, why ain’t you talking? Hey man, Move! You ain’t dead are you? Aw naw, aw naw you’re dead man! HELP, HELP! SOMEBODY HELP, JESUS HELP!</p>
<p align="justify">The ride attendant has always been the same….Satan. He takes your money, than your respect, than your family, than your job….Oh yeah he gives you one hell of a ride and when you think it’s time to get off, it ain’t happening because you’re on the death train.</p>
<p align="justify">ETERNITY BABY! You’re there and there’s no one to turn this train around, you’ve paid the admission with you’re soul and Satan has collected the fare.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Before the merry go round of life’s attendant invites you for your next ride, you better slow down and know Jesus is the power source for all the rides of life and he can throw the switch at anytime.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Please be sure the one you’re riding on has an escape mechanism, his name is Christ and he’ll help you off, pick you up, dust you off and give you a reason to be alive. THAT’S THE MERRY GO ROUND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT YOU WON’T WANT TO GET OFF OF.</p>

<p align="justify">HIS STORY IS GOD’S GLORY</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Born on a very bright December night, born in this humble stable, humanity’s treasure….the Way, the Truth and the Life.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">This Christ child was given to a world too blind to see, Jesus knew his destiny and he loved us that much….to die on Calvary for you and me.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Mary and Joseph accepted their role in God’s perfect plan, God would wrap himself in flesh and walk as Deity amongst man.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">From the moment he was born his life was in danger, this tiny innocent child born amongst livestock in a manger.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">He spoke of his Father to people everywhere, crowds near and far, this child pursued by wisemen under that bright December star.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">As he entered the temple and saw people selling their wares and his Father’s house being desecrated, he still loved them all, but the evil in their hearts he hated.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">His ministry was the beginning and he had received power from above, the Holy Spirit descended upon him in the form of a dove.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Now he would begin to assemble his apostles to teach them through parables the mystery of the ages, that his death for humanity was what God required as wages….for the young and old, each and everyone, this perfect lamb, God’s only Son.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Jesus was well aware to be able to heal and deliver required much prayer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">As the word of his miracles spread across the land, Satan had put in Judas heart to surrender the Son Of Man.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">He always Blessed people wherever he stayed, now the Lord of Host was about to be betrayed.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Thirty pieces of silver was all Judas was paid, the plan was devised, the trap had been made.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Jesus continued to pray to God for more power, because he knew the horror that awaited him in this hour.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Soon his abductors entered the garden, the high priest and soldiers not wanting to miss Judas sign….the betrayal kiss.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">They took him away in shackles, each listening for a cry of mercy that might be heard, but from Jesus not a single word.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">He had remained silent and ever so still, Father if you can remove this cup, but not mine, but your will.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">He had entered this world with a powerful message, a story of forgiveness and love, what it meant to be courageous and bold….the GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Now this ‘Good Friday’ he hung nailed to this cross of wood and he did nothing wrong, but be good.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">He stayed on that cross and never demanded to be brought down, he didn’t need to scream that’s how the whisper of love must sound.</p>

<p>Four years old, twenty years old, sixty three years old or ninety one years old. Firefighter, Doctor, Lawyer, Homemaker, Politician, Judge, drug addict, homosexual, Naval officer, Truck Driver and Football star. The blind and the deaf, crippled and the faint of heart, the lonely and foresaken. Helpless and empty, without a friend and needing a place to lay your head down at night, someone willing to give you your next meal. A brave soldier shaking with the inner fear that death gives us all, but willing to lay his life down that you can remain free. Born in a home where no love was ever expressed, where self esteem has absolutely no building blocks. Someone who was Blessed to born in a wealthy home, given all the material things this life has to offer and still feels empty and incomplete, having reached the pinacle of success and considering committing suicide.</p>
<p>How strange our journeys, this thing we call our lives. What do the Blessed, the lonely, the forgotten and the destitute of this world all have in common? Everyone of us were all Created by one hand, by a incredible God who through all the terrible lows and immense highs of our lives has never once lost sight of our condition, our needs and our prayers for answers. This Creator......Jesus loves every soul he has ever placed in a body, from the time of conception to the moment you drew your last breath. His decision for you and I was made thousands, maybe even millions of years ago to love you......love you...... and you love your more, that's just what Jesus does and that is who Jesus is......LOVE! I can't look at your life and see someone whose suffering in their body, emotions, financial situation or any part of their lives and say this is love? We can question God from our teenage years to our golden years and no person's story at some point of their life won't have big questions, with no answers.</p>
<p>Think about God having the awesome ability to make life's journey and this worlds consequenses a master drama. This drama is his to direct and he has chosen for you what part of the drama your life will play. He test everyone of us to see if we will seek his face for answers or will we be swallowed up by what the world has to offer for answers. All the pain, the pleasure, the unforseen misfortunes are placed in our lives to build our character and the path of development is usually very trying. God has written this drama and he's given you the freedom of choice......bad ideas or good ideas, proper paths or rugged trails, all part of what makes us who we will ultimately become. God has delcared he is Alpha and Omega, so he's seen the beginning of your life and he's seen every second throughout your life. Jesus walked this earth for thirty three years and the Love he showed for every person mentioned above was nothing short of supernatural. He loved everyone regardless of social status, family history or physical or mental condition.....Love, pure unconditional Love.</p>
<p>In this world looking for a new path and for so many unanswered questions to how to get it right, Jesus Christ is that answer. He's the only answer God ever planned for this drama and he wants you to ask him to be a part of your life and guess what......Jesus desperately wants to be the missing part of your life, that empty void, that nothing or no one can fill. Without Jesus no one on planet earth will ever get it right!!<br/> That's how the drama was written and open your Bible and see exactly how God planned for each one of us to play our part.</p>Create in Me Lord a Servant's Hearttag:thebookmarketingnetwork.com,2012-09-13:523145:BlogPost:5419172012-09-13T13:00:00.000ZRandolph Nicholas Alvishttp://thebookmarketingnetwork.com/profile/RandolphNicholasAlvis

<p align="justify"> GOD’S REQUEST TO YOU AND I..BELIEVE</p>
<p align="justify">I am the resurrection and the life, he that <u>believeth</u> in me, though he were dead yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and <u>believeth</u> in me shall never die.</p>

<p align="justify"> GOD’S REQUEST TO YOU AND I..BELIEVE</p>
<p align="justify">I am the resurrection and the life, he that <u>believeth</u> in me, though he were dead yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and <u>believeth</u> in me shall never die.</p>
<p align="justify">Yea Lord I <u>believe</u> thou art the Christ, the Son of God!</p>
<p align="justify">Jesus groaned in his spirit and was troubled over the death of his friend Lazarus. JESUS WEPT….Then the Jews said behold how he loved him (he loves you and he loves me the same, troubled and groaning over your situation, weeping)</p>
<p align="justify">Jesus saith unto Martha ’Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest <u>believe</u> thou shouldest see the glory of God(deliverance from all your miseries)</p>
<p align="justify">And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said ’Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me and I knew that thou hearest me always(God <u>always</u> hears your prayers)</p>
<p align="justify">He that loveth his life shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.</p>
<p align="justify">Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour, but for this cause came I unto this hour. Jesus cried and said, ’He that <u>believeth</u> on me, <u>believeth</u> not on me, but on him that sent me.</p>
<p align="justify">I am come a light into the world, whosoever <u>believeth</u> on me should not abide in darkness.</p>
<p align="justify">Verily, Verily, I say unto you, He that <u>believeth</u> on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto the Father.</p>
<p align="justify">And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might <u>believe.</u></p>
<p align="justify">Of sin, because they <u>believe</u> not on me.</p>
<p align="justify">For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have <u>believeth</u> that I came out from God.</p>
<p align="justify">Jesus answered them ’Do you now <u>believe</u>?</p>
<p align="justify">Neither pray I for these alone but for them also which shall <u>believe</u> on me through their word.</p>
<p align="justify">That they all may be one: as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may <u>believe</u> that thou has sent me.</p>
<p align="justify">Are you a believer in the Son of God? You can see the great importance Jesus has placed on belief, but it means action….even the demons believe!</p>
<p align="justify">The Bible states that each one of us must work out our Salvation. Start today, <u>believe</u> on Jesus and let the world see that you are first a <u>believer</u> and you honor your King by doing what the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart.</p>

<p align="justify"> HE NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY</p>

<p align="justify"> HE NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY</p>
<p align="justify">Acts of kindness done for someone from the goodness of your heart.</p>
<p align="justify">Just one word of gratitude and a pat on the shoulder to let them know your caring means a lot.</p>
<p align="justify">Sacrificing of your time to bless someone that’s very lonely, with your being there for them.</p>
<p align="justify">Listening to the struggles a friend is dealing with and telling them you understand.</p>
<p align="justify">Shedding tears when a loved one begins to pour their heart out to you.</p>
<p align="justify">Having patience to deal with all the problems someone else’s day may have given you.</p>
<p align="justify">Willing to see the best in everyone, know in your heart God created every living soul and your prayers for them will bring the greatest change.</p>
<p align="justify">Regardless of the situation, in today’s world know that anger and frustration never really solves a problem or disagreement.</p>
<p align="justify">When you consider someone else’s needs before your own I bet your day will definitely be brighter.</p>
<p align="justify">Don’t judge people by their looks or how they choose to dress. When your perceptions of someone are based on how the world has ‘characterized’ that person you’ve already passed judgement and I know whole heartly that a person’s inner spirit is their beauty.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Don’t make demands on someone that you wouldn’t have fulfilled yourself.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">If you and a loved one have decided a particular act has brought you to a place of not speaking, the only one who wins that type of argument is Satan.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">God hates a high and mighty pride and that very pride can divide relationships and prevent prayers from being answered.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Never forget to tell someone you love that you love them and most importantly don’t forget to show them.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">We give our time to work and play, but how much do you devote to God?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Happy can’t be faked. Alcohol and drugs can only paint on a limited amount of smiles. If your life seems miserable, talk to God about it, the answer he has might not meet your timetable, but when it arrives the moment will be perfect.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Don’t keep looking for things to bring joy. That’s a bottomless pit. When you’ve bought it all, had it all, lost it all….it all added up to vanity. The Bible says ‘seek you first the Kingdom of God, then all these things will be added.’ The majority of the world always reverses this scripture….it’s not going to work!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Giving of one’s self is a major step in discovering life’s happiness. The joy of the Lord is centered in being a servant to others.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Believe in your heart….I’M A CHILD OF GOD, GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD, JESUS DIED TO ERASE ALL MY GUILT AND BURDENS. When you live and breathe this way, self esteem shouldn’t be a problem. YOUR, I SAID <u>YOUR</u> FATHER IS RULER OF THE UNIVERSE!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Appreciate who God has given you as family members and friends. Thank him for being born free and living in the greatest nation mankind has ever known.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Keep your ears open and listen to people’s trials, more than likely your’s is pale in comparison.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Make a dedicated effort to serve your employer and fellow workers with a positive attitude and a desire to make their day better.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Regardless how someone may have hurt your feelings, be quiet and listen to what the Holy Spirit tells your heart…..FORGIVE, FORGIVE AND FORGET. The result of doing anything less will eat you alive.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">By lending a helping hand, a word of thanks, making yourself available to help someone through their day is God’s blessing to them and to you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">In such a negative world we have to make a concerted effort to build people up instead of tearing them down.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="justify">God loves everyone of us equally and I believe in my heart if we will try to do the same to everyone who makes our day our Father will honor us greatly!</p>

<p align="justify">A GIFT TO MAKIND…. A KING WHO WALKED AMONG US</p>

<p align="justify">A GIFT TO MAKIND…. A KING WHO WALKED AMONG US</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Spoken of by the prophets 2,000 years before his birth. Being sent to a lost and dying world to set right what Adam had failed to do. A plan by Almighty God to restore your relationship with himself. The ’cornerstone’ which would become the stumbling block to many.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Where is the Messiah? How long will our God, Jehovah, let us suffer at the hands of the Romans? Surely he will send a mighty, all conquering King to give Israel, his chosen, their Glory once again.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">The wisemen knew this King would soon appear. The Angels had declared to them to follow a great and brilliant star and beneath it they would discover Israel’s King. I don’t know if these men were prepared to meet a King in such a humble setting. As they made there way into this small town there weren’t any trumpets or soldiers announcing his arrival. Surely no castle or kingdom where he was residing. Passing through the narrow and dark streets they spotted a faint flickering light in a stable where cows were visible and two people kneeling beside a small wooden box. The star’s glorious light shone directly down on the roof of this unsuspecting stable. Each one approached, doubting in their minds that this could be no King, surely not the Son of the Most High God. Had they traveled those many miles and somehow missed the king’s arrival? The Holy Spirit spoke to these men’s hearts confirming that this child born in a manger was indeed Jesus, God’s Son sent to us for our Salvation. The God who had created the universe had entered this earth in the most humbling of arenas.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">When Jesus began to grow up in Nazareth he learned his earthly Father’s trade. Jesus was a carpenter and I bet there was no one better at the trade. This was God among us! He built the Universe, carpentry seemed very pale in comparison. Jesus realized at a very young age what he was to build was not constructed of wood and nails, but he was to build Faith in men’s hearts towards their Creator. One day when his parents searched desperately for him he was in the Temple and he told them he was teaching his Father’s Word.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Mary and Joseph knew their child was the greatest Blessing the world would ever receive, but I wonder if they knew what a terrible price he would be asked to pay?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">When his ministry began Jesus approached John the Baptist and asked that he might Baptise him, but John told Jesus he didn’t believe he was righteous enough to baptise him. John agreed and when Jesus came up out of the river a dove from Heaven descended on his head. John declared that Jesus was indeed the Christ.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">His miracles that followed began with a wedding where Jesus turned water into wine. His prayer on a hillside over 2 fish and 5 barley loaves fed 5,000. The blind see, the lame leap, the lepers are healed, Peter finds himself walking on water, the lady with the issue of blood was instantly made whole by touching the hem of Jesus garment. His compassion for the sick and people in great despair was shown wherever he went. Jesus never turned anyone away. When Mary and Martha cried before Jesus because their brother Lazarus had passed away Jesus began to weep. Tears of sorrow or tears of joy, because Jesus knew upon his command the Father would bring Lazarus out of the tomb.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">This man loved like no man has ever loved. His kindness and compassion melted men’s hearts to whomever witnessed these events. He had come to this earth not in the way men had envisioned a King, but his impact on humanity was far greater than any King or Kingdom to ever exist on earth.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">When his apostles gathered with him in the upper room for the Last Supper Jesus would show his apostles the ultimate act of Love when he proceeded to wash each one of their feet. Think for just a moment….this was God, Creator, Lord of Glory washing his creation’s feet….WOW! This is the place where Jesus wants us to be, humble, without pride, willing and able to love our brother and sister like God loves us. By this act he’s shown us if I, God of the Universe will disregard my place of authority and integrity for my loved ones, how much more should you and I sacrifice?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Even as the betrayal had taken place and the Roman soldiers led him away his ability to constantly love mankind flourished. As Peter took his sword and cut off the ear of the High Priest’s servant Jesus immediately healed the man’s ear. As he looked down from the Cross and watched his creation gamble for his robe, being taunted on both sides by the men being crucified with him Jesus replied to the thief who had simply asked ’remember me when you enter your kingdom.’ Jesus didn’t let anger rise up in himself, but told the man ’today you will be with in paradise!’ As the blood ran from his feet and hands, as the people below him yelled every imaginable, blasphemous word against him, he replied ’Father forgive them, they know not what they do.’ Jesus yelled out ’Father it is finished’, and gave up the ghost.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">He could have beckoned 10,000 Angels to remove him from the Cross, but he chose to complete his journey. From that very brilliantly lit night in that lowly stable the wisemen had traveled very far to find their King. He had arrived in very humble beginnings and at the Last Supper he never lost sight of the manger. He knew who he was, why he came and to whom he served.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Israel this was and is your mighty King. God sent him to earth in a way very least expected, but he had left a undeniable trail….JESUS WAS TRULY THE MESSIAH!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR SON, BORN IN THAT LOWLY MANGER, THANK YOU FOR LOVING US ENOUGH TO GIVE US A WAY BACK TO YOU. YOU ARE A MIGHTY KING, YOU ARE GOOD AND YOU ARE AWESOME! </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>

<p></p>
<p align="justify">People are homeless, haven’t got a clue where their next meal is coming from, jobs are being lost left and right….how have we fallen so far America and allowed God to removed from our sight?</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">Streets filled with gangs claiming this street’s ours, not realizing who’s behind the turmoil, demonic powers. They kill each other daily for drugs, money, territory and they can’t tell you why, their loved ones search for answers….too young, starting to turn their lives around just to die.</p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">People filled with hate, hate that color, that person, everyone that doesn’t look or act like me. Looking blindly at that human being and you can’t even see, that God made us all….I said ALL, we’re all a family tree.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">I know it’s tough out there and it’s probably going to get a lot worse. Could it have something to do with man’s heart, Adam’s curse?</p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">The ‘mighty’ men that run the world today think they can solve our problems and restore some sanity to this earth, but without God what’s that even worth? You’re putting a band aid on a terrible wound we’ve absorbed, it won’t stop the bleeding, it’s not even a start, repent yellow, red, black and white, every American change your heart.</p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">Every country is living in constant fear and unrest. Are we a great enough country to pass God’s test? We’ve spent the last fifty years soothing all of man’s desires, technology is exploding, we’ve become to smart, like gods, too intellectual to praise our Creator. So do we continue on this downward spiral, we don’t need you Jesus….latter!</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">We’ve messed up this planet pretty bad. We can’t trust the people we thought we knew, they’ve stolen our savings, we feel helpless and sad. Every person’s life is centered on number one, look where that’s taken us, we’re so undone. Truth is no one living in this fleshly robe can solve all this worldly ill, only heartfelt surrender to God’s sovereign will. He loves this country, we’re ministering his gospel to the ends of the earth, we’ve still got his Grace towards us, greater riches than all the earth.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"></p>

<p align="justify">BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD</p>
<p align="justify">Father God thank you for your forgiveness today.</p>
<p align="justify">Storms in my life daily give me reason to pray.</p>
<p align="justify">You Lord God are the giver of all good things, hearing from you daily with the positive instruction it brings.</p>
<p align="justify">I look towards Heaven with a very watchful eye, please Jesus help me, I’ve forgotten how to cry.</p>

<p align="justify">Storms in my life daily give me reason to pray.</p>
<p align="justify">You Lord God are the giver of all good things, hearing from you daily with the positive instruction it brings.</p>
<p align="justify">I look towards Heaven with a very watchful eye, please Jesus help me, I’ve forgotten how to cry.</p>
<p align="justify">Life has many ways to get you down, open my ears Holy Spirit to hear what you’re saying….a peaceful, quiet sound.</p>
<p align="justify">I feel like I’ve been praying my entire life. This pain, that problem, how am I going to do it, Lord I’m tired of all this strife.</p>
<p align="justify">If I could only figure out that I’m not the only one in need, then Jesus would begin to manifest in me a great harvest from a God given seed.</p>
<p align="justify">Yes, I believe we all have it, that power that lies deep within, if we learn to use it for good and not in sin.</p>
<p align="justify">Countless hours in prayer kneeling beside your bed, be quiet….listen….remember what Jesus said, ‘And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. He said he would and I believe he will, He’s God….be quiet….listen….be still.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Your answer to your prayer, When God, Where God, God how? Your prayer is before the Father and your High Priest Jesus is answering it now.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Our flesh is anxious and impatient, we need an answer and we need one today. I’m sorry my creation your Creator has planned a better way.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Through times of testing, through every tribulation on earth, God’s shaping in you a very Godly worth.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">You see our lives come and go and we live life at a breakneck pace, slow down my sons and daughters I’m the designer of this race.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Human that’s the name of this event, God formed you in your mother’s womb and placed in your heart the name of the lamb that would be sent.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">His name is Jesus and he prays for me and for you….everyday, your prayers are on the altar and God’s listening….listening to what Jesus has to say.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">There is peace and I know it’s real! Jesus I’m going to ask again tonight when I stoop and kneel. Jesus if I can touch the hem of your garment, Lord I pray you if this prayer is not to demanding, precious Lord, GIVE ME YOUR PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING!</p>

<p></p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">In the sight of Almighty God I know that being Pro Choice is really not our choice at all, but the one who Created life in the mother’s womb. A woman’s right to choose is really America’s opportunity to loose. Millions of unborn children wholesale slaughtered cannot be honoring to the one who breathed his breath into that tiny body. If you declare that a industry that makes billions in the erasing of human life is a Christian declaration, I’m sorry Mr. President that isn’t a Christian.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">Mr President you declared that America isn’t a Christian nation and since the day the English set foot on our shores and placed the Cross in the sand I don’t believe that Christians in this nation believe we are anything less than what these people did that day, testify that this nation would be dedicated to God. A Christian would not voice to his Lord…the nation I am president of no longer recognizes your Lordship. The National Day of Prayer that had been celebrated in Washington was stopped because you stated that you felt this type of worship should be done in the privacy of a Church or home, but yet you openly invited the Muslim population to Washington to celebrate their Faith. God is a jealous God and he says I am the same yesterday, today and forever. A Christian would stand up and defend the one who died for him on Calvary’s Cross, not confine him to the walls of anything. God is the God of the Universe and we will very soon see his awesome power unveiled. Mr president no Christian I know would have ever ‘cancelled’ a event with united prayer for this nation, because right now we definitely need to be on our knees seeking his face.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">I had recently read where Mrs Obama and yourself had attended several flag burning ceremonies. I believe this country has survived on the blood, sweat and tears of many young men and women of many diverse cultures and above all by the hand of Almighty God. I don’t have a clue when you asked Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior, but if you were saved and attending those events I really don’t see Jesus Blessing such a gathering.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">Your pastor that had made the statement God D--m America I can understand where that statement would have evolved. Over four hundred years ago when your ancestors were dragged from their homes and taken into slavery the people who founded this nation have a very dark place in history to answer to God for. The mistreatment of slaves in this country was beyond description. If anyone in America that knows their history and cannot have their heart broken for what these people were put through you need to do some deep soul searching. Any race of people who thinks they are somehow intellectually superior to anyone else is in for a very rude awakening when they stand before Jesus Christ.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">Most recently Mr. President you declared that you feel that any person should have the right to marry whomever they choose and that is the way you would want to be treated and the way you would want your daughters to see people be treated. For someone that declares to be a Christian you cannot take out the parts of the Bible that you don’t feel appropriate and keep the ones that fit ‘today’s society’. Unfortunately when God says he never changes…..that means his Word never changes. There are many parts of the Bible that are hard to understand and they require studying them to get the meaning of what God is saying to us, but there are definitely particular sins he declares and I don’t care what court in America declares them right it will never change the sacred Blessing God has placed on them, such as marriage between a man and a woman.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">President Obama you are a very smart and well spoken man. I believe that many of the decisions you’ve had to make during your presidency were one’s that anyone holding that office would have had to make to preserve this nation, but when it comes to standing up for the one who created you and came to this earth and died for you to provide your Salvation you seriously have missed the boat.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">Many people today believe that there are many ways to Heaven, that every God they mention is the same God, but the truth is that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the one and only True God and his name is Jehovah!</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">The Bible says we each have to work out our own Salvation, so I guess in your heart of hearts that the decisions you make concerning your God are between you and him, but the things you stand up for are without a doubt not those of a Christian.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">Sincerely President Obama I hope the Holy Spirit of God touches your heart so profoundly that the things you begin to do to declare your God will shock your fellow Americans. I believe that your next heartbeat is being held in Jesus hand and you must ask yourself…..has my life and decisions brought Glory to my God?</p>

<p align="center">HE SHALL BE BORN OF A VIRGIN, HIS NAME JESUS</p>

<p align="center">HE SHALL BE BORN OF A VIRGIN, HIS NAME JESUS</p>
<p align="center">What love is this, Creator of the universe born in a horse’s stall. Whose mission was to restore man’s fallen nature from the first Adam’s fall.</p>
<p align="center">A child whose birth was marked in the Heavens with the light of a brilliant star. The child prophesied of thousand of years before, now being searched for by wiseman from afar.</p>
<p align="center">Who could ever believe a King being sent to save mankind would have such a humble entrance on the earth and surely no one would ever believe conception by virgin birth.</p>
<p align="center">Men had anxiously awaited God’s promise to send the Messiah, prayers answered for their every need, a delivering King for Israel, born from King David’s seed.</p>
<p align="center">Mary and Joseph were God’s instruments , a plan from the beginning of time, restoration given by Grace, God himself to be the sacrifice for the entire human race.</p>
<p align="center">The boy named Jesus was very wise beyond his years, this journey he was about to travel would reveal many miracles and dry countless tears.</p>
<p align="center">John the Baptist echoed his arrival and watched the Holy Spirit descend from Heaven and appear as a dove, now John declared this was the one….God’s perfect sacrifice of Love.</p>
<p align="center">Thirty three years was the length of the Savior’s eternal plans, he would change the course of history forever and surrender his life in order to save man’s.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">The cripple walk, the thousands are fed by a few fish and loaves of bread, blind eyes are opened, and Jesus loves Lazarus with such passion he brings him back from the dead.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">The masses witness miracles being performed by a man whose birth was in Bethelehem of common folk parents, born in a manger, he doesn’t fit our image of the Messiah. We believe this man performs miracles by the Devil, Son of God….he’s a blasphemer, a liar!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">Jesus fulfilled every prophesy ever announced throughout the ages, he knew most would never believe he was their King, his destiny would be sacrificial wages.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">He chose his disciples from every background and trade. He taught them everything from his Father, gave them the keys to Heaven, showed them how to be a good servant, then told them of the sacrifice about to be made.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">His life was the perfect example of Love and Forgiveness. No greater Love hath a man than to surrender his life for his brother.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">He came to deliver his sheep that Satan wanted to steal, Jesus sacrifice….Salvation, he chose to close the deal.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">I don’t believe on the day of his crucifixion, as the skies became dark and the earth began to tremble and the Son of Man hung dying on the tree, there were any doubters left in the crowd….that this child Jesus, born in a manger was indeed God’s sacrifice for those gazing at the Cross, for you and me!</p>

<p>ME AND YOU</p>

<p>ME AND YOU</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Praise you Father God, to you Lord be the Glory and Honor. This is the foundation to life, these are the building blocks on the journey of life that will Bless you in ways you could never imagine. Praising your God.</p>
<p>God created us to be instruments of Praise, but in the darkness of this world we found our comforts in earthly things rather then Godly things. We chose to fulfill selfish desires and maybe not intentually, ignored the God who created us.</p>
<p>We were told the Ten Commandments, but was there really anything to them, was God really going to unleash his wrath if you chose to break a few or even all of them?</p>
<p>Sometimes I sit and ponder what my life would have been like had my conviction been to Praise God daily and do the things he put on my heart to do.</p>
<p>Ever Faithful you have never let me do without anything, clothes,food,shelter,a job and a loving family. For me to murmur and complain is truly an example of selfishness in action. You have had all the reasons in the world to give up on me and pull the plug on my Blessings, but your Love for me has really boggled my mind. People in this country have forgotten you and I believe we’re beginning to witness the consequences.</p>
<p>Lord God I cry out to you this day to please forgive me for an attitude of selfishness. Anything on this earth that hasn’t gone the way I felt it should I can take a bow for the outcome. Seeking you would have been a great reward, because you’ve told us you’re a rewarder to those who diligently seek you. Lord please help me get over me. The it’s all about me lifestyle is a perfect design for a miserable existence.</p>
<p>You walked this earth and showed the perfect example of selflessness. You stepped out of your Glory and entered this world to show your creation that life isn’t about self, but about others. When you’re able to defeat the ‘me’ character and take on the Jesus personna of doing for others and loving your brothers and sisters more than trying to fill your every lust, your life will truly be rich and rewarding.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I find myself elderly and it seems I never lived and the fact is I haven’t, because real life is caring for your fellow man in every way you’re Blessed to do. Me, Me, Me is the recipe for a dismal existence.</p>
<p>God you’ve told us in your Word that your Spirit sees us into the marrow of our bones. You have known since the beginning of time the place I would find myself in today. Lord I know you do your best and most incredible work in ordinary, broken people. For me Lord, I’m that broken vessel. I feel as if my life has been a mirage. I’ve never seen myself as the person you created me to be. Jesus you said you have come to this earth so that we may have life and have it more abundantly. Dear Lord Jesus unveil to me through your Holy Spirit who you would have me to be.</p>
<p>Our lives are so short and once we’ve reached the late years of our lives we want to now remember God and know that soon we will see him face to face.</p>
<p>When we repent, you forgive our sins as far as the East is from the West, help me Father to forgive myself. Satan is the accuser of the brethren and he keeps very many Saints in mental chains. I desperately want a relationship with you Lord Jesus, I’ve seen everything this world has to offer and I’m empty Lord..very empty. Jesus,let me touch the hem of your garment and may your Peace that passes all understanding pour out over me and my family.</p>
<p>As I sit her next to my bed thinking about what I’ll bring to you in prayer tonight, I should know in my heart you heard these prayers years ago and you’ve paid for everyone of them, help me Lord to receive.</p>
<p>Materially my family and I have been richly Blessed,but Spiritually we are barren. Lord you are the vine and I am the branch, without you I can do nothing, please begin to use me for your Glory.</p>
<p>Jesus I know the Rapture is at our doorstep, I pray that your mighty Holy Spirit touches every person in my family and my wife’s family. On that incredible day, Lord I pray that everyone will be seen without spot and without wrinkle throught your precious shed blood.</p>
<p>I haven’t a clue how long my life will last, but thank you Dear God for the trials and challenges that have awakened me to how awesome you are and how much you Love us regardless of what condition we’ve found ourselves in. Thank you my Father, my Creator and my Savior.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"> ENDLESS BLESSINGS, SEARCH MY HEART FATHER.....WORDS OF GRADITUDE</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> DON'T EXIST</p>
<p align="justify"> The alarm sounds and I crawl out of bed and as my feet hit the floor I try to access what is going to hurt today. My lower back is usually aching and my souls of my feet hurt. My allergies have kept my nose stopped up a good portion of the night and probably the reason my sleep really suffered. As I brush my teeth and comb my hair my mind begins to kick in with the thoughts of, what time is it…..how much time do I have to eat and get out the door? As I got dressed I notice something I’d dropped on my shirt and failed to wash out, but there is no time to find another shirt, my pants are wrinkled, but wrinkles will just have to be me today. I gather up everything in my pockets I need to get through the day, my glasses, watch, nasal spray, eye drops and mints. I’ve put me together the best three o’clock in the morning will allow and I’m out the door to face a new day. As I open the door I pause and wonder if I’ve forgotten anything and even after my calculated review nothing seems to pop up, but I’ve definitely forgotten the most important thing that I need to face the day. I never knelt by the bed for 2 minutes, or 3 minutes or 5 minutes and thanked Jesus for another breath, another heartbeat. </p>
<p align="justify"> The hair tonic, the toothpaste, the warm wash cloth on my face, the cologne I chose to wear, the clean clothes I put on…..even though spotted, wrinkled allowed me to feel good about myself and present myself amongst my peers. All these things are superficial, what God cares about is what you’re wearing on your heart. Regardless of how much you may hurt today, God has Blessed you with the strength and energy to go to work and truly the Blessing of a place to go to work. If you are like I am and a lot of other people a good majority of our days are spent in verbal complaints. The words of our mouths are powerful. God spoke everything in to existence from absolutely nothing. There are supernatural forces that take note of every painful sigh, hurting outburst or the words of thankfulness and Praise to God for all he has given you.</p>
<p align="justify"> I have learned the hard way, that you can construct how each day will go, by the words of your mouth. I wonder how much of our sickness and diseases are manifested by consistently speaking and murmuring over this ache or this short coming in a day. I realize that there are circumstances that we are unable to prevent or avoid, but I know when you have a negative view of the events of the day concerning your work, your coworkers, your drive to work, the weather or a trip to see the doctor, there’s a very good chance that those people and events will offer negative dividends. The Bible speaks about in everything, offer God thanksgiving and praise. The Bible is a absolutely incredible book, written by man, but without a doubt inspired by Almighty God. It’s a shame to me that most of us when we are children we resented our parents constant insistence to attend Sunday school. I wonder how much better this country would be if that generation of the 60’s had all been ’Jesus freaks’ Would we be shooting each other, putting needles in our arms, sleeping around, stealing hardworking people’s savings, cussing out our spouse, visiting a abortion clinic? If Jesus Christ is the focus of your day….your life, do you kill, steal and destroy? The Bible says those are Satan’s attributes not Christ. </p>
<p align="justify"> If you put on your game face, your daily mask and keep telling yourself this is happiness, I’d be willing to bet 9 out of 10 people would tell you there happiness fades daily and they have to look for whatever the world offers to bring back the ’high’, bring back the ’happiness’, honestly isn’t a life without Jesus really all just vanity? A day that begins with a few minutes offering your Creator a thank you for the Blessings he has given you will help lighten your load, give the day new meaning and allow you to cope with situations that facing a day without prayer would not allow you to do. God created each one of us with the engrained yearning to find joy, peace and happiness, everything in this world will never, ever give you anything, but a imitation.</p>
<p align="justify"> In the helter, skelter existence that we call our lives, start to take a few minutes to acknowledge to God that you Love him, you appreciate what he has Blessed you with and the tremendous price he has paid for you. You are his and he will never stop calling out to you…..to stop being enticed by earthly pleasures for the are temporal and what he is offering is eternal. Start today, start tomorrow, but please start to invite God to be a part of your life. He Created you to be his friend, he loves you and there is absolutely nothing you can do that will ever change that. The words might seem insignificant, but God knows the deepest parts of your heart and he yearns for your adoration and Praise. Try it, your day will be better and your life will be complete. </p>

<p align="justify">PERILOUS TIMES, THE ANSWER FOR THE AGES</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. I am He that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive forevermore. A few words, but what power. He was here before scientist, philosophers, CEOs, or Hollywood celebrities. He has seen that, done that, heard that…..think he might have seen the mess the world is in today? He has the power to resurrect his body from the grave and knows every minute of every hour to the end of time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Are we living in the last days? Is this world in need of a savior? Alpha and Omega sounds pretty awesome. I heard he could heal a nation, deliver the brokenhearted, comfort the needy, touch the sick and they will recover. So, what will it take to have Alpha and Omega turn this world around? REPENT! That’s right….that’s the magic bullet. Just stop and think where we’re currently headed, and we have so much pride and correctness to acknowledge the Power Source, who established every person on this earth in their current position in life, waits to see if we will bow our knees and seek His Face.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">The Bible says He searches our hearts; and He will give unto everyone according to our works. TRUTH! He surely is that….because unlike man, he cannot lie! According to our works….Whoa America….fornicators, adulterers, abortionist, homosexuals, pornography and thieves. When you watch the news, is this happening or can we click our heels like Dorothy and be back in Kansas?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">REPENT! If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Man they’ve been saying that for hundreds of years. We’ll keep swallowing the lies of Satan and guess what….soon you will have to wear his mark (666) in order to exist. Is it too late? No, noting is impossible for Alpha and Omega. He says if we keep his ways He will keep us from the hour of temptation coming on this earth. He says if we turn from our evil ways he’ll write the name of His God upon us!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Revelation 3:19 says’As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten, be zealous therefore and repent! ‘He that hath an ear, let him hear! Jesus is ALPHA AND OMEGA…..He stands at the door and knocks, America. Answer his knock before it’s too late!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">What prayer can be spoken that hasn’t been said? Where is my life headed, where am I being led?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">Countless hours in prayer, you’re right Lord not many tears, too self indulged with needless fears.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">If only I had spent more time as a young man seeking your face, I’m convinced I wouldn’t be in such a dark, fearful place.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">There was always tomorrow, no need to search for God today, I’ll ask for help when I need it….I’ll do it my way.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">After a life of nothing but procrastination and excuses why now do I question God with the chastisement he uses?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">I tell myself Father that the plan for my life can’t be just this….it has to be something far greater, but Dear God let me see it now, not later.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">Yes, that’s how the human condition wants all of life’s problems taken care of, deliver me God send me a miracle from above.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">In the midst of your battle have you slowed down long enough to allow the Master a chance for his work to be done, to make you a fisherman of men, a mighty instrument in the hands of his Son.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">Impatient, weary, too tired to pray, but always murmuring, God where’s my deliverance….why God, why not today?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">We know the answer, God hasn’t kept it a mystery. Meditate it, breathe it, live it….it’s the Word!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">The Word of God, that’s the key that releases all the power. It was present on the first Christmas morning, it rolled away the stone on that third day Easter hour.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">How much quality time do you spend in prayer, reading the Word, diligently seeking him? Why aren’t prayers answered you’ve continually sent, that’s probably a clue, your investment with him….your sacrifice of time spent.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">I know in my heart how much you love us Father down here. Ready to heal our broken hearts and dry every tear.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">Holy Spirit I pray you continue to keep me strong, the battles have been tough but you mighty Comforter have me exactly where God says I belong.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">Mold me, shape me, conform me into the image of your Son, at the end of these trials Father I know in your perfect way you will have formed something beautiful out of this piece of clay.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">For the majority of my life I told myself I had all the answers to life’s questions. What I really had was a real bad plan….No prayer, No repenting Spirit, No contrite Heart and no surrender to the Son of Man.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="center">Every answer you and I have ever needed, have been in plain sight, we’re the one’s who’ve turned our backs on God and chose not to care, when the mystery was no mystery at all….YOUR TIME WAS TOO IMPORTANT TO SPEND TIME WITH GOD IN PRAYER!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Let the words of your mouth be acceptable in his sight, come to Jesus all who are heavy laden, for his yoke is easy and his burden light.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Proclaim his loving kindness, tender mercies, recognize his awesome glory when you pray….thank him for every Blessing received on this glorious day.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Thank him for giving you your next breath, instead of murmuring about what’s wrong in your life, begin to Praise him and break Satan’s grip of strife.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Don’t fill your mind with the evils of this world, they comfort only the dying a lost, you’re salvation has been granted you through a tremendous cost.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">The world refuses to honor his son Jesus as King of Kings, but would rather seek the riches of this world and all the misery it brings.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">We are told to be light on this earth telling people who’ve lost all their hope what Jesus says their worth.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">God’s assembling his army today, he’s seeking soldiers who will humble themselves before him and continue to pray.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Our time on earth experiencing this life is about to cease, have you invited Jesus to be your Lord, to Bless you with eternal Peace?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Just yesterday we were running across a snow covered field and our greatest concern was the cold, now thinking back how could we possibly be this old?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">God says our life is but a vapor, so why do we all choose to live our lives chasing after hollow needs, when death and destruction is where it always leads.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">God is a not a bully and he’s given you the knowledge of wrong and right, but the heart of man continues to sin in God’s sight.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">He’s been watching us for a long time and the Heavens are about to part and the nations of the world will witness his awesome power….are you ready to meet your Creator, it’s almost that hour!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">In the twinkling of an eye, we will be snatched away to meet the Lamb of God in the sky.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">I pray that you won’t be left behind, because what’s gonna happen on this earth will blow your mind.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">You won’t be able to say that you didn’t believe because you never heard, fact is you never wanted to hear his Word.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">This is not some fairy tale with a happy ending, without Jesus as your Lord, your chances of being raptured….the truth I’d be bending.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Please don’t continue to tell God I’ll start serving you the next day. The consequences of having to bear the mark could be the price you will pay.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">Once the sound of the Arch Angel has sounded nothing will ever be the same, where are you then, could I look in God’s book and see your name?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p align="justify">God is a God of a second chance and he’s patiently waiting for you to turn from the lures of the evil one, come to Jesus now….right now, because he doesn’t care what you’ve ever done.</p>

<p align="justify"> A GRACE THAT IS GREATER THAN LIFE'S PACE</p>
<p align="justify">My God has spoken to my heart on two occasions and each time it was under different circumstances.

As I drove home that evening in tears, telling God I didn’t deserve his Holy Spirit, a peace fell in that car like I had never felt…</p>
<p align="justify"> A GRACE THAT IS GREATER THAN LIFE'S PACE</p>
<p align="justify">My God has spoken to my heart on two occasions and each time it was under different circumstances. The first night I was attending a Spirit filled church, hearing a tremendous sermon when Satan filled my mind with thoughts of hell. As I drove home that evening in tears, telling God I didn’t deserve his Holy Spirit, a peace fell in that car like I had never felt before. Our God of limitless Grace had just spoken to my heart, saying that as horrendous as the thoughts were, His love was never changing for me.</p>
<p align="justify">Recently I visited my older sister to pray with her and as we prayed, the Holy Spirit filled her kitchen with such power, love, and oppression breaking power that she and I experienced a ‘high’ that truly was special.</p>
<p align="justify">As long as we live on earth our minds will always be a battleground. God has said ‘we don’t fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places‘(Ephesians 6:12).</p>
<p align="justify">The world today is so controlled by peer pressure that most people surrender to everything the world has to offer. The Word of God says that our lives are like a blade of grass….here today, withered and gone tomorrow.</p>
<p align="justify">Our God has loved us from The Garden Of Eden to Cross Of Calvary and will continue to love us until we are on the verge of the second coming of Jesus Christ. Young people and old alike, open your Bibles and let God speak to your heart, listen to a preacher on TV, attend a Spirit filled church service and most of all, get on your knees and ask God to forgive you for the sins you have committed. Ask Jesus Christ to come into your life as your Lord and Savior.</p>
<p align="justify">May the Almighty’s abiding Grace, which touched my life also touch yours!</p>

<p align="center">A GIFT TO MAKIND…. A KING WHO WALKED AMONG US</p>
<p align="center"></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="justify">Spoken of by the prophets 2,000 years before his birth. Being sent to a lost and dying world to set right what Adam had failed to do. A plan by Almighty God to restore your relationship with himself. The ’cornerstone’ which would become the stumbling block to many.</p>

<p align="center">A GIFT TO MAKIND…. A KING WHO WALKED AMONG US</p>
<p align="center"></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="justify">Spoken of by the prophets 2,000 years before his birth. Being sent to a lost and dying world to set right what Adam had failed to do. A plan by Almighty God to restore your relationship with himself. The ’cornerstone’ which would become the stumbling block to many.</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">Where is the Messiah? How long will our God, Jehovah, let us suffer at the hands of the Romans? Surely he will send a mighty, all conquering King to give Israel, his chosen, their Glory once again.</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">The wisemen knew this King would soon appear. The Angels had declared to them to follow a great and brilliant star and beneath it they would discover Israel’s King. I don’t know if these men were prepared to meet a King in such a humble setting. As they made there way into this small town there weren’t any trumpets or soldiers announcing his arrival. Surely no castle or kingdom where he was residing. Passing through the narrow and dark streets they spotted a faint flickering light in a stable where cows were visible and two people kneeling beside a small wooden box. The star’s glorious light shone directly down on the roof of this unsuspecting stable. Each one approached, doubting in their minds that this could be no King, surely not the Son of the Most High God. Had they traveled those many miles and somehow missed the king’s arrival? The Holy Spirit spoke to these men’s hearts confirming that this child born in a manger was indeed Jesus, God’s Son sent to us for our Salvation. The God who had created the universe had entered this earth in the most humbling of arenas.</p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p align="justify">When Jesus began to grow up in Nazareth he learned his earthly Father’s trade. Jesus was a carpenter and I bet there was no one better at the trade. This was God among us! He built the Universe, carpentry seemed very pale in comparison. Jesus realized at a very young age what he was to build was not constructed of wood and nails, but he was to build Faith in men’s hearts towards their Creator. One day when his parents searched desperately for him he was in the Temple and he told them he was teaching his Father’s Word.</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">Mary and Joseph knew their child was the greatest Blessing the world would ever receive, but I wonder if they knew what a terrible price he would be asked to pay?</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">When his ministry began Jesus approached John the Baptist and asked that he might Baptise him, but John told Jesus he didn’t believe he was righteous enough to baptise him. John agreed and when Jesus came up out of the river a dove from Heaven descended on his head. John declared that Jesus was indeed the Christ.</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">His miracles that followed began with a wedding where Jesus turned water into wine. His prayer on a hillside over 2 fish and 5 barley loaves fed 5,000. The blind see, the lame leap, the lepers are healed, Peter finds himself walking on water, the lady with the issue of blood was instantly made whole by touching the hem of Jesus garment. His compassion for the sick and people in great despair was shown wherever he went. Jesus never turned anyone away. When Mary and Martha cried before Jesus because their brother Lazarus had passed away Jesus began to weep. Tears of sorrow or tears of joy, because Jesus knew upon his command the Father would bring Lazarus out of the tomb.</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">This man loved like no man has ever loved. His kindness and compassion melted men’s hearts to whomever witnessed these events. He had come to this earth not in the way men had envisioned a King, but his impact on humanity was far greater than any King or Kingdom to ever exist on earth.</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">When his apostles gathered with him in the upper room for the Last Supper Jesus would show his apostles the ultimate act of Love when he proceeded to wash each one of their feet. Think for just a moment….this was God, Creator, Lord of Glory washing his creation’s feet….WOW! This is the place where Jesus wants us to be, humble, without pride, willing and able to love our brother and sister like God loves us. By this act he’s shown us if I, God of the Universe will disregard my place of authority and integrity for my loved ones, how much more should you and I sacrifice?</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">Even as the betrayal had taken place and the Roman soldiers led him away his ability to constantly love mankind flourished. As Peter took his sword and cut off the ear of the High Priest’s servant Jesus immediately healed the man’s ear. As he looked down from the Cross and watched his creation gamble for his robe, being taunted on both sides by the men being crucified with him Jesus replied to the thief who had simply asked ’remember me when you enter your kingdom.’ Jesus didn’t let anger rise up in himself, but told the man ’today you will be with in paradise!’ As the blood ran from his feet and hands, as the people below him yelled every imaginable, blasphemous word against him, he replied ’Father forgive them, they know not what they do.’ Jesus yelled out ’Father it is finished’, and gave up the ghost.</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">He could have beckoned 10,000 Angels to remove him from the Cross, but he chose to complete his journey. From that very brilliantly lit night in that lowly stable the wisemen had traveled very far to find their King. He had arrived in very humble beginnings and at the Last Supper he never lost sight of the manger. He knew who he was, why he came and to whom he served.</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">Israel this was and is your mighty King. God sent him to earth in a way very least expected, but he had left a undeniable trail….JESUS WAS TRULY THE MESSIAH!</p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR SON, BORN IN THAT LOWLY MANGER, THANK YOU FOR LOVING US ENOUGH TO GIVE US A WAY BACK TO YOU. YOU ARE A MIGHTY KING, YOU ARE GOOD AND YOU ARE AWESOME! </p>

<p align="justify">Has your life been well spent?</p>
<p align="justify">Does your mind regret how fast it’s flown by and wonder where it went?</p>
<p align="justify">Were you a person who always had a kind word and a infectious smile, someone who showed people how to love and care, man you must have been something to see because those traits are really rare.</p>
<p align="justify">When you entered a room did people enjoy hearing what you had to say, when you told them you had to leave did they beg you to stay?</p>
<p align="justify">Did you offer words of comfort to everyone you met, who needed an attentive ear and remembered you for the gift of your time you spent.</p>
<p align="justify">Were you someone who did for others without being asked….was that God’s requirement of you, helping someone like Jesus would, a servant’s task.</p>
<p align="justify">Was your heart so touched by a stranger’s needs, that you found yourself crying when you realized the opportunity God was giving you to sow some Heavenly seeds.</p>
<p align="justify">Had the wealth of this world ever tried to spoil you, tell you to bow down and give praise or did the memory of your Mother make you stop and think, the god of money is not how I was raised.</p>
<p align="justify">Did you grow up honest and show respect to people regardless of their social status or the color of their skin or were you like the world, full of pride, blind to your own sin.</p>
<p align="justify">Could the common man on the corner call you by you first name and tell people he sees Jesus through your kindness and in your heart and he’s going to change his life today….you’ve given him reason to start.</p>
<p align="justify">Your Blessings you’ve given daily haven’t been done out of any arrogance or pride, just done to honor you Lord for the suffering he did for you and the way he died.</p>
<p align="justify">If I called you needing help in the early morning hour I know you’d pray for me to receive God’s answer….to sense his healing power.</p>
<p align="justify">That’s the kind of person you are, someone I wish the world could see, but God’s doing that miracle one person at a time, starting with me.’</p>
<p align="justify">Your life has flown by and you really don’t know how many people have been Blessed by the example you’ve set. Just remain humble and remember the day Jesus Blessed you on the first day you first met.</p>
<p align="justify">You’ve struggled at life and plenty times you’ve told God you’d had enough, you couldn’t fight any longer and you were too tired to stay. Then your dearest friend in the universe spoke to your heart and said I’m proud of who you are, keep Blessing people by continuing to pray.</p>
<p align="justify">It’s amazing to have someone come up to you and tell you they changed their lives because they woke up to the Love of Jesus when they witnessed that by serving others instead of yourself gives you hope, peace and Godly wealth. Satan will lie to you, tell you that your life has been a waste and a mistake and this is when you start to Praise God and watch those burdens and yokes begin to break.</p>
<p align="justify">You’ve listened to the lies your entire life, but guess what liar of the ages, I just won another soul to Christ and God delivered him from the grip of strife.</p>
<p align="justify">Be proud of who you are in Christ Jesus. You’re a son of the Living God, God’s given you to Jesus and no one can pluck you from his hand, be bold, declare the victory of Calvary, keep the Faith and God will give you the courage to make the stand.</p>What Has Been Your Passion?tag:thebookmarketingnetwork.com,2012-08-20:523145:BlogPost:5394252012-08-20T09:30:00.000ZRandolph Nicholas Alvishttp://thebookmarketingnetwork.com/profile/RandolphNicholasAlvis
<p>Its been over a month ago since I sat down and wrote down what God had put on my heart. Tonight as I watched a documentary about Crispin Attucks High School in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1955 I was compelled to write about passion in someone’s life and what it enables you to become. The movie was about a all black high school and a remarkable coach that enabled these young men to reach for the stars and obtain what they dreamed.

<p>Its been over a month ago since I sat down and wrote down what God had put on my heart. Tonight as I watched a documentary about Crispin Attucks High School in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1955 I was compelled to write about passion in someone’s life and what it enables you to become. The movie was about a all black high school and a remarkable coach that enabled these young men to reach for the stars and obtain what they dreamed. Oscar Robertson one of the greatest basketball players of all time was the leader of this high school team from 1955-1957. They were the first black team to win a state championship in 1955 and they changed the way basketball was played forever.</p>
<p></p>
<p>God has given each one of us the ability to dream a dream and to cultivate a passion to accomplish such a dream. I can’t understand why there are so many examples of people who have been raised without wealth, family support or many of a young person’s basic needs and have succeeded in life in such marvelous ways. Passion? Some people become interested in sports or whatever else may interest you and the drive within you compels you to exceed and excel in that field. I’m puzzled why some people excel and others find the journey so trying they find it easier to quit and move on. Life is all about passion…passion to love someone, to be faster on the field of competition, jump higher, throw farther, dance or sing to make an audience sit in awe, discover a new drug or technique to treat a disease, whatever God has put within you to enjoy, to be compelled to compete in, to have a heart to help your fellow man or to satisfy your inner man that you are indeed the best athelete, teacher or doctor. Passion is the driving force that seperates the want to be’s from the one’s who have felt the compelling thoughts to suceed and have conquered everything that has stood in there way on the journey to achieve those goals.</p>
<p></p>
<p>God created passion. God lived a life of passion. God surrendered his life if a incredible act of passion and he rose from the grave with a passion to set all mankind free. Passion is a powerful force. Once it has exposed itself within a man’s heart and thought life the only thing that holds that person back is usually the fear of failure, the stress created by training or studying to claim the prize. We surely have exactly what God has endowed us with, but I believe he’s given each one of us the realization of passion. The knowledge that you get out of life what you choose to invest into it. Story after story after story supports this when you hear of individuals who have come from nothing and are very successful,brilliant and wealthy. Every story almost certainly has it’s own journey, but I believe that passion is the fire that drives the person to succeed.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I looked up the definition tonight for passion and they were very numerous. The following one is only one of them, but it touched my heart. This definition was written by C.S.Lewis.</p>
<p></p>
<p>‘Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defeat of faith, but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ’</p>
<p></p>
<p>As I watched that movie tonight I thoroughly enjoyed it, because number one I love basketball, I despise the way the black community was treated in the 50’s and 60’s in this country and I love the passion these young men displayed on the court that carried over in the way they conducted their lives off the court.</p>
<p></p>
<p>God didn’t create you or I to be a loser or a quitter, but yet many of us somewhere during our lives have decided that when the going gets tough it’s a lot easier to move on then to face the conditioning it takes to succeed. I’ve always been a hard worker, but I think I had many opportunities to cultivate a passion for sports, playing the trumpet, being a manager in a office setting, excelling as a salesman, but I didn’t choose to drive myself to manifest those passions.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Young men and women don’t sit on the sidelines of life and one day wake up a elderly person and then realize that your passion for the things of life have passed you by. Sieze the moment. If it takes money, work that extra shift. If it takes studying, stay up those extra hours. If it takes early morning or late night practicing, make it happen. Whatever Satan puts in your ear telling you that you’ll never make it, it’s not worth the time or effort..it’s a lie. Satan knows what passion can accomplish, it defeated him on Calvary’s Cross.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Regardless of the sacrifice, make the investment. You can make it come true and with time spent praying, God will be right with you helping you show the world how passion can make anyone a winner. Thank you my God and my Father for revealing to me that the difference between a winner and an under achiever is indeed PASSION!!</p>

<p>OUT OF THE DARKNESS..CAME AN INCREDIBLE LIGHT</p>
<p>In an enviroment of absolutely no concept of time and space existed a tremendously powerful force. The elements that formed the veil of existence had to bow down and away as this force passed by. Movement lightning quick, without hesitation and millions of light years were passed through in micro seconds. No sounds were heard,because there were no ears to hear, nor was the awesome force looked upon, because there were no eyes to see. …</p>
<p>OUT OF THE DARKNESS..CAME AN INCREDIBLE LIGHT</p>
<p>In an enviroment of absolutely no concept of time and space existed a tremendously powerful force. The elements that formed the veil of existence had to bow down and away as this force passed by. Movement lightning quick, without hesitation and millions of light years were passed through in micro seconds. No sounds were heard,because there were no ears to hear, nor was the awesome force looked upon, because there were no eyes to see. Every crease in the molecular structure could feel the power and speed surging through it and this power had no limitations or boundaries..infinity was it’s chariot and the ions of time held no chains upon it. In a world where this unlimited energy surged to a fro, as everything came in contact with it would simply peel away as if to pay homage. Darkness was this forces’ companion and it’s worshippers were merely matter.</p>
<p>One moment a spoken word thrust through the darkness, a voice that shook the depths of darkness..JESUS was the Word spoken. Everything had come to a complete halt. Before this Word echoed out across the limitless stretch of pitch black the force was shrouded in complete darkness and time was spellbound, but now as all the elements in this world bowed, a great light now shone. This light illuminated the entire enviroment. Every atom stood at attention before this brilliant light. The light began to beam from the center of itself and as it began to separate a shape horizontally and vertically began to appear. Once again the voice spoke ‘I AM’ and immediately the light became the shape of a man..no, a Angel man. His countenance was too great to gaze upon and the glow illuminating from his body glowed out as if to touch the edge of eternity. The voice that spoke was so intense it had literally shattered the darkness. Just above this lighted figure there was a light shining even greater than the figure and the voice shouted with a sound knowing no measurement ‘This Day You Are My Son Jesus!.</p>
<p>Could this have been how and where God was before he made creation? In the endless space of space? The planets, stars, and galaxies hadn’t been created..so where was God and what made him decide at this particular moment to create anything or anyone?</p>
<p>Today most people believe in God or the existence of a Supreme being. Could this awesome God really be our friend, someone who loves you and I more than we could imagine? Did his Son really step out that day from complete darkness before anything was created, seated at the right hand of his Father and because of his love for humanity stepped out of his Glory and came down amongst us? Did he surrender himself to die on the Cross of Calvary made from the very tree he created and did he form the Centurion in his mother’s womb that nailed him to this tree? Well think about the beginning, I mean the absolute beginning when he rode across eternity on his chariot. When you’re God and when you speak the universe appears, babies are shaped by his handiwork and the entire world and all it’s inhabitants live and move at his beckoning. Well if you believe these things are possible you surely must believe he has supernatural power to Love you and I unconditionally. He demonstrated it on Calvary and if you’ll open your hearts he’ll demonstrate it to you today.</p>
<p>It breaks my heart and I cringe when I hear Hollywood and as a result a lot of Americans say jesus christ..or jesus f------christ never giving it a second thought. This name..JESUS is yesterday..today..and forever the most powerful name in existence and because he exist..you exist! His awesome power holds your very heartbeat in his hands and his Love for you NEVER waivers! He ask of us to simply acknowledge his Lordship and turn your back on this world. Not the world he created, without spot or blemish, but a world that refuses to acknowledge this great King and prefers to live in the darkness.</p>
<p>You and I will never know where God came from or why he decided one day in the ions of time to put us on this tiny planet in the middle of his awesome Universe. God has decided that some things are better left unknown. What I do know in my heart of hearts is that one day or one micro second a light entered the atmosphere and his Father named him JESUS and he is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.</p>
<p>When you speak his name, before you unconsciously use it due to the lack of vocabulary..stop for a minute and realize this name JESUS isn’t a dirty rag, but he is a mighty King to be greatly praised!</p>

<p> OUT OF THE DARKNESS..CAME AN INCREDIBLE LIGHT</p>
<p>In an enviroment of absolutely no concept of time and space existed a tremendously powerful force. The elements that formed the veil of existence had to bow down and away as this force passed by. Movement lightning quick, without hesitation and millions of light years were passed through in micro seconds. No sounds were heard,because there were no ears to hear, nor was the awesome force looked upon, because there were no eyes to see. Every crease in the molecular structure could feel the power and speed surging through it and this power had no limitations or boundaries..infinity was it’s chariot and the ions of time held no chains upon it. In a world where this unlimited energy surged to a fro, as everything came in contact with it would simply peel away as if to pay homage. Darkness was this forces’ companion and it’s worshippers were merely matter.</p>
<p>One moment a spoken word thrust through the darkness, a voice that shook the depths of darkness..JESUS was the Word spoken. Everything had come to a complete halt. Before this Word echoed out across the limitless stretch of pitch black the force was shrouded in complete darkness and time was spellbound, but now as all the elements in this world bowed, a great light now shone. This light illuminated the entire enviroment. Every atom stood at attention before this brilliant light. The light began to beam from the center of itself and as it began to separate a shape horizontally and vertically began to appear. Once again the voice spoke ‘I AM’ and immediately the light became the shape of a man..no, a Angel man. His countenance was too great to gaze upon and the glow illuminating from his body glowed out as if to touch the edge of eternity. The voice that spoke was so intense it had literally shattered the darkness. Just above this lighted figure there was a light shining even greater than the figure and the voice shouted with a sound knowing no measurement ‘This Day You Are My Son Jesus!.</p>
<p>Could this have been how and where God was before he made creation? In the endless space of space? The planets, stars, and galaxies hadn’t been created..so where was God and what made him decide at this particular moment to create anything or anyone?</p>
<p>Today most people believe in God or the existence of a Supreme being. Could this awesome God really be our friend, someone who loves you and I more than we could imagine? Did his Son really step out that day from complete darkness before anything was created, seated at the right hand of his Father and because of his love for humanity stepped out of his Glory and came down amongst us? Did he surrender himself to die on the Cross of Calvary made from the very tree he created and did he form the Centurion in his mother’s womb that nailed him to this tree? Well think about the beginning, I mean the absolute beginning when he rode across eternity on his chariot. When you’re God and when you speak the universe appears, babies are shaped by his handiwork and the entire world and all it’s inhabitants live and move at his beckoning. Well if you believe these things are possible you surely must believe he has supernatural power to Love you and I unconditionally. He demonstrated it on Calvary and if you’ll open your hearts he’ll demonstrate it to you today.</p>
<p>It breaks my heart and I cringe when I hear Hollywood and as a result a lot of Americans say jesus christ..or jesus f------christ never giving it a second thought. This name..JESUS is yesterday..today..and forever the most powerful name in existence and because he exist..you exist! His awesome power holds your very heartbeat in his hands and his Love for you NEVER waivers! He ask of us to simply acknowledge his Lordship and turn your back on this world. Not the world he created, without spot or blemish, but a world that refuses to acknowledge this great King and prefers to live in the darkness.</p>
<p>You and I will never know where God came from or why he decided one day in the ions of time to put us on this tiny planet in the middle of his awesome Universe. God has decided that some things are better left unknown. What I do know in my heart of hearts is that one day or one micro second a light entered the atmosphere and his Father named him JESUS and he is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.</p>
<p>When you speak his name, before you unconsciously use it due to the lack of vocabulary..stop for a minute and realize this name JESUS isn’t a dirty rag, but he is a mighty King to be greatly praised!</p>

<br/>
His eyes penetrated the darkness, his awesome mind envisioned the earth and all it’s creation. Out of complete darkness the Lord Jesus began to speak each and every vision into existence. His Spirit began to create and form the earth and the Heavens and Father God saw it was ‘good’.<br/>
<br/>
An incredible mind which saw every living creature and how each one would act, sound and survive. Jesus’ mind instilled in each creature their internal traits. Everything was created by the spoken Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.<br/>
<br/>
In six days the greatest display of intellectual genius was put into action. God saw it all and said ‘It Is Good’.<br/>
<br/>
God then spoke to his Son an said let us create man a little lower than the Angels and he shall me made in our image. Man & God communed daily and every provision was given to Adam. God instructed Adam to name each and every creation and what he chose would be it’s name.<br/>
<br/>
Then God saw that man needed a help meet and he removed one of Adam’s ribs and made Eve. The garden they were Blessed to live in had the greatest of Blessings, a face to face relationship with their God, but the fallen one, Satan, hated God’s created being and sought their destruction.<br/>
<br/>
Apparently given the knowledge of man’s weakness he proceeded to entice Eve to eat from the tree of good and evil in which God forbid them to eat. Satan said if you eat from the tree you will become just like a god.<br/>
<br/>
So the immense joy God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit had enjoyed had become very sorely soiled.<br/>
<br/>
As incredible as it sounds, Almighty God had set a plan in play before Adam was formed to save his soul.<br/>
<br/>
Jesus was to step down from his Glory and enter this earth through conception of the Holy Spirit. God’s plan for man’s reconciliation with himself required a one time, perfect and spotless sacrifice..JESUS!<br/>
<br/>
God had also chosen a very ordinary set of parents, Mary and Joseph. What an incredible weight to carry to be told you would give birth to the Son of God and that Joseph would have to believe by Faith that God had indeed planted his seed in Mary’s womb, because Joseph had never been with Mary.<br/>
<br/>
Mary and Joseph would be given the monumental task of raising the Son of God. I believe that Jesus knew from a very young age his assignment, who his chosen apostles would be and ultimately the horrendous death he would be dealt.<br/>
<br/>
No man has ever lived that Loved the way Jesus Loved. Unconditionally, while in the midst of your greatest sins..Jesus Loved you more and more.<br/>
<br/>
Jesus never turned a single person away..people possessed by demons, blind, lame, lepers and even the dead. He knew one way, Love them regardless of their situation, Love them!<br/>
<br/>
The scriptures don’t go into great detail about Jesus toiling over his choice of apostles, because they were chosen thousands of years earlier, Jesus just had to make the connection.<br/>
<br/>
Just like each of us, we all have our short comings and faults, so did these men. They were never anything special, they just had something inside themselves that was special, the Holy Ghost.<br/>
<br/>
After three unbelievable years of witnessing God’s incredible hand at work, to hear Jesus tell of his impending death at the hands of the Jewish leaders was like being stabbed in their hearts.<br/>
<br/>
How could they possibly understand a man able to calm the storm with his spoken word and order Lazarus brought back from the dead, but not able to save himself? This is the mystery of the ages, God’s willingness to sacrifice Jesus to save man’s soul.<br/>
<br/>
When he was taken away by the Roman soldiers the torture Satan must have filled their minds with must have been terrible. Why did you waste your time with this man? He isn’t your King, he’s going to be crucified and you’re not even going to try and stop it. Boy God sure picked twelve losers! Letting their ‘King’ be carried off in chains without any fight at all. Very trying times for a man’s soul, but honestly once again this was drawn up thousands of years earlier, these men were just put in a place and time where God needed them. They were chosen to evangelize the world, but truly they were checkers on God’s checker board.<br/>
<br/>
As Pilate washed his hands of Jesus and said ‘I find no fault in the man’, does Pilate now get excused from the fate of going to hell? Are the Jewish leaders sealing their eternal destiny when they denied Pilate’s request for them to take Jesus, but they declared they wanted Barrabas?<br/>
<br/>
On that terrible day when our Savior was whipped unmercifully and led to Calvary and nailed to the Cross no one could have stopped the event..no one! This was God’s plan from the beginning and Jesus was of such tremendous character that he was willing to sacrifice himself for all mankind.<br/>
<br/>
From the beginning of time God had a plan..an incredible, hard to understand plan. He never wanted man to fall and he always knew he’d provide a means of reconciliation between himself and his creation.<br/>
<br/>
Today society cannot get it’s mind around the idea of a God dying for us, that innocent blood must be shed to cleanse us from our sins and that God loved us exactly that much that he stepped out of his Glory and made it entirely possible that you and I can be saved by His Grace..His Mercy..His Love and we can’t earn one single bit of it.<br/>
<br/>
This is the mystery of the ages and it’s been acted out by common, ordinary people for the acknowledgement that God is due the Power and the Glory for ever and ever. The price he was more than willing to pay for you and I was nothing short of awesome.<br/>
<br/>
PRAISE YOU LORD GOD JEHOVAH!!<br/>

Jesus was to step down from his Glory and enter this earth through conception of the Holy Spirit. God’s plan for man’s reconciliation with himself required a one time, perfect and spotless sacrifice..JESUS!<br/>
<br/>
God had also chosen a very ordinary set of parents, Mary and Joseph. What an incredible weight to carry to be told you would give birth to the Son of God and that Joseph would have to believe by Faith that God had indeed planted his seed in Mary’s womb, because Joseph had never been with Mary.<br/>
<br/>
Mary and Joseph would be given the monumental task of raising the Son of God. I believe that Jesus knew from a very young age his assignment, who his chosen apostles would be and ultimately the horrendous death he would be dealt.<br/>
<br/>
No man has ever lived that Loved the way Jesus Loved. Unconditionally, while in the midst of your greatest sins..Jesus Loved you more and more.<br/>
<br/>
Jesus never turned a single person away..people possessed by demons, blind, lame, lepers and even the dead. He knew one way, Love them regardless of their situation, Love them!<br/>
<br/>
The scriptures don’t go into great detail about Jesus toiling over his choice of apostles, because they were chosen thousands of years earlier, Jesus just had to make the connection.<br/>
<br/>
Just like each of us, we all have our short comings and faults, so did these men. They were never anything special, they just had something inside themselves that was special, the Holy Ghost.<br/>
<br/>
After three unbelievable years of witnessing God’s incredible hand at work, to hear Jesus tell of his impending death at the hands of the Jewish leaders was like being stabbed in their hearts.<br/>
<br/>
How could they possibly understand a man able to calm the storm with his spoken word and order Lazarus brought back from the dead, but not able to save himself? This is the mystery of the ages, God’s willingness to sacrifice Jesus to save man’s soul.<br/>
<br/>
When he was taken away by the Roman soldiers the torture Satan must have filled their minds with must have been terrible. Why did you waste your time with this man? He isn’t your King, he’s going to be crucified and you’re not even going to try and stop it. Boy God sure picked twelve losers! Letting their ‘King’ be carried off in chains without any fight at all. Very trying times for a man’s soul, but honestly once again this was drawn up thousands of years earlier, these men were just put in a place and time where God needed them. They were chosen to evangelize the world, but truly they were checkers on God’s checker board.<br/>
<br/>
As Pilate washed his hands of Jesus and said ‘I find no fault in the man’, does Pilate now get excused from the fate of going to hell? Are the Jewish leaders sealing their eternal destiny when they denied Pilate’s request for them to take Jesus, but they declared they wanted Barrabas?<br/>
<br/>
On that terrible day when our Savior was whipped unmercifully and led to Calvary and nailed to the Cross no one could have stopped the event..no one! This was God’s plan from the beginning and Jesus was of such tremendous character that he was willing to sacrifice himself for all mankind.<br/>
<br/>
From the beginning of time God had a plan..an incredible, hard to understand plan. He never wanted man to fall and he always knew he’d provide a means of reconciliation between himself and his creation.<br/>
<br/>
Today society cannot get it’s mind around the idea of a God dying for us, that innocent blood must be shed to cleanse us from our sins and that God loved us exactly that much that he stepped out of his Glory and made it entirely possible that you and I can be saved by His Grace..His Mercy..His Love and we can’t earn one single bit of it.<br/>
<br/>
This is the mystery of the ages and it’s been acted out by common, ordinary people for the acknowledgement that God is due the Power and the Glory for ever and ever. The price he was more than willing to pay for you and I was nothing short of awesome.<br/>

How to shut off these mental images and fearful thoughts, deliver me Jesus from the demonic darts. Sleep or wherever it is I go offers me a few hours of escape depending on the number of pills I take. Each day seems like dejavu, if I only could awake to a day feeling rested and new. My God who made me created me with special wiring able to withstand stress beyond my wildest dreams,in the end God....what did all this really mean? I know Jesus is willing to take my burden, he paid for it on Calvary's Cross, why have I taken my eye off him and allowed Satan to be boss? It's amazing the pain and suffering some people have to endure, if we just listened as children and not fallen for evil's lure. Whatever sin you've allowed yourself to be bound by, it's been paid for and covered, don't believe another Satanic lie. The battleground exist in the gray matter that's your brain, when you surrender your thought life the outcome produces a great amount of pain. You ask yourself is suicide the answer or just a shorter path....to see God at that moment or live your life, you do the math. Satan wants you to end it quick, he's been the culprit that's kept you awake night after night, worn our and sick. The Bible tells us over and over to put our trust in Jesus and ask him for deliverance when we pray, I feel like I've been praying forever, Jesus please don't make me wait until Judgement Day. When you're suffering you'll always start to question your worth, mankind's been rehearsing that lie since the foundation of the earth. Renew your mind, fill your mind and heart with the good things you've heard, start listening to the next sermon instead of day dreaming, the Blessings right there in God's word. Lies have been his nature since the dawn of time, this destroyer wants your soul and he wants mine. His advances are very subtle, he comes to you as an 'Angel of Light', by the time you've heard all his lies you'll start to believe wrong is right. For all the hours I labored to give Satan his undue Glory, God's plan for my life is history's greatest Love Story. I admit it and I'm not ashamed to say, I really got it wrong, but thanks to God for allowing me to approach you when I pray. Right now it seems pretty empty and dark, heal me Jesus, set me free. I want to be a broken vessel you've put back together for the whole world to see. Please help me Holy Spirit to keep my eyes on Jesus and not on myself, it's then and only then that God reveals one's worth!</span></p>THE GREAT I AMtag:thebookmarketingnetwork.com,2011-08-29:523145:BlogPost:4757162011-08-29T15:00:00.000ZRandolph Nicholas Alvishttp://thebookmarketingnetwork.com/profile/RandolphNicholasAlvis

<p>Another day in my life about to come to a close. Like so many days prior....dejavu. Lord God, I know exactly how the Nation of Israel must have felt wondering in circles for forty years searching for the promised land. It's very hard to stay focused and keep the faith when your health is wavering and life's circumstances seem to be overwhelming.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mighty God you knew my journey, all the twist and turns, the dark moments and so many unanswered questions. My prayers lay before your altar, each and every one. My flesh cries for deliverance, my mind yearns for peace, the peace that only Jesus can give. Why do humans constantly look to man and his prescriptions for 'happiness'? Take this pill, exercise more, watch your diet, change your lifestyle, but all this doesn't address the real illness....it's your heart!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It seems like only yesterday I was a teenager and forty years have flown by. Not much different from Moses and Israel, praying everyday, trying to live a Godly life, but the wilderness of my mind offers up one doubt after another. Where are you God? Have you brought me out in this desert of a life to stumble endlessly, then die?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I read ;your word and read books about your awesome miracles in people's lives and I'm in awe. I believe everything, as much as you Holy Spirit enables me to understand. I don't question any miracle, because I believe my God is capable of everything and anything.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The attacks I withstand daily hinder my walk with you Father. Yes I do question salvation, what believer hasn't been to the place where prayers have been offered for months or years and still the onslaught continues. I believe in my heart that our trials serve a far greater purpose than we can understand. Father I want to please you, not by haughty conversation, a Holier than thou attitude, a prayer made for the sick, I want my mind and heart to be pure and righteous in your sight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My life is laid out before you, nothing hidden, no, not one little dirty detail. You've seen it all, the ugliest, the most vial, the self condemnation and you saw it before the beginning of time. Sort of frightening Lord, born and the slate had already been painted on. First the picture of childhood innocence, than a young person's mischief, then a teenager's exploration into everything Satan cared to entice us with. If you made it through those years in one piece, what have you learned? Who has your heart been listening to? Who have you established as your God....Jehovah or the world? If the truth be known, the majority would have to say the latter. How sad that God has given us his'owner's manual' and we never open it. The instructions are all right there, but you and I would rather build without the instructions. How many times have you ever got that right? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well Lord I'm sixty years invested in this life and I find myself still wandering in the wilderness, but I know in who I believe and I know HE IS ABLE! Lord it's been forty years, but the promised land of eternity still awaits me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My prayer Father God....CLEANSE MY MIND, WASH ME WHITER THAN SNOW IN JESUS PRECIOUS BLOOD, ESTABLISH IN ME DEAR FATHER A PURE AND RIGHTEOUS HEART. MAY MY EVERY HEARTBEAT BE A SOUND OF HOLINESS BEFORE YOUR THRONE MY GOD, MY REDEEMER, MY SAVIOR. I AM YOUR VESSEL FATHER, USE ME TO BRING GLORY TO YOUR NAME....AMEN.</p>HIS STORY IS GOD'S GLORYtag:thebookmarketingnetwork.com,2011-08-04:523145:BlogPost:4632742011-08-04T15:00:00.000ZRandolph Nicholas Alvishttp://thebookmarketingnetwork.com/profile/RandolphNicholasAlvis

<p>Born on a very bright December night, born in this humble stable, humanity's treasure....the Way, the Truth and the Life.</p>
<p>This Christ child was given to a world too blind to see, Jesus knew his destiny and he loved us that much....to die on Calvary for you and me.</p>
<p>Mary and Joseph accepted their role in God's perfect plan, God would wrap himself in flesh and walk as Deity amongst man.</p>
<p>From the moment he was born his life was in danger, this tiny, innocent child born among livestock in a manger.</p>
<p>He spoke of his Father to people everywhere, crowds near and far, this child pursued by wise men under that bright December star.</p>
<p>As he entered the temple and saw people selling their wares and HIs Father's house being desecrated, he still loved them all, but the evil in their hearts he hated.</p>
<p>His ministry was beginning and he had received power from above, the Holy Spirit descended iupon him in the form of a dove.</p>
<p>Now he would begin to assemble his apostles to teach them through parables the mystery of the ages, that his death for humanity was what God required as wages....for the young and old, each and everyone, this perfect lamb God's only son.</p>
<p>Jesus was well aware to be able to heal and deliver required much prayer.</p>
<p>As the word of his miracles spread across the land, Satan had put in Judas heart to surrender the Son Of Man.</p>
<p>He always Blessed people wherever he stayed, now the Lord Of Host was about to be betrayed.</p>
<p>Thirty pieces of silver was all Judas was paid, the plan was devised, the trap had been made.</p>
<p>Jesus continued to pray to God for more power, because he knew the horror that awaited him in this hour.</p>
<p>Soon his abductors entered the garden, the high priest and soldiers not wanting to miss Judas sign....the betrayal kiss.</p>
<p>They took him away in shackles, each listening for a cry of mercy that might be heard, but from Jesus not a single word.</p>
<p>He had remained silent and ever so still, Father if you can remove this cup, but not mine,but your will.</p>
<p>He had entered this world with a powerful message, a story of forgiveness and love, what it meant to be courageous and bold....the GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD!</p>
<p>Now this 'Good Friday' he hung nailed to this cross of wood and he did nothing wrong, but be good.</p>
<p>He stayed on that cross and never demanded to be brought down, he didn't need to scream that's how the whisper of love must sound!</p>
