"Did you think that I didn't hear you when you cried out to Me in your time of need?
Truly, I did hear you.
If I hear the final cry of every sparrow that falls in death, would I not hear you?
"Did you wonder if I was listening when you prayed to Me for an answer to the troubles that weighed you down?
Indeed, I was listening.
If I listen intently for the very heartbeat of every baby conceived in the womb, would I not listen when that child prays? I listened, and I remember precisely the instant that your heart took it's first beat; the moment that you took your first gasping breath upon leaving the security of your mother's womb; the contented sigh of relief at your first belly full of warm milk. And, though you've grown up, I still listen for every word spoken in My direction.
"Do you think that I don't know when problems come into your life? I know everything there is to know about you! Even the very hairs of your head are numbered! I've watched you daily, from those first tentative steps and groping words to your very first love; and I was there, cheering you on, though you never knew it. "Did you think that I was unconcerned because you didn't receive an instantaneous answer to your prayer?
My dear child, I am more concerned for you than you will ever know. If I were not, would I have sent my son to earth in the flesh and allowed your kind to mock Him, spit on Him, beat Him, and nail Him up on a cross for all to see? He gave His life for You! He poured out His very life's blood in order to pay a price for your life, and to set you free.! Would I have done that if I was unconcerned?
"Or did you accept the devil's lie that I didn't even exist? Can you really believe his lies when the very magnitude and complexity of the universe bears witness to the unquestionable fact that they are My handiwork? When everything that you can see and not see is a work of My perfection, delicately balanced and timed, from the spiraling galaxies to the spinning atoms? Is it possible to comprehend such an intricate work and say,
"There is no God"?
"Take a good look at yourself!
You are the very epitome of My work!
You are My greatest creation!
A one-of-a-kind human being.
Of the seventy billion humans that have lived and walked this planet, there has been no other exactly like you. I created you perfect! I created you with a hundred million receptors in your eyes so that you could see the beauty around you; I created you with twenty-four thousand vibrating fibers in your inner ears to hear the softest whisper of the wind; I designed five hundred muscles, two hundred bones, and seven miles of nerve fibers, all wrapped in a renewable, nearly indestructible layer of skin and tissue. I gave you a heart that pulses hour after hour, day after day, thirty-six million beats a year, pumping blood through more than ninety-six thousand miles of veins and arteries to give your body life and keep it free of disease; and I gave you a brain that is the most complex organ in all of the universe, made up of one-hundred-trillion cells and crisscrossed with twenty-five billion nerve cells to help you retain the minutest memory; and I equipped your body with four million pain-sensitive structures, five hundred thousand touch detectors, and over two hundred thousand temperature detectors! And then, to top it all off, I gave you the ability to reason, to dream, to imagine, and to speak; things that no other of My creatures can do. And, as a final touch, after creating that magnificent body that you live in, I created the real you, the inner you, the spirit that I created in My likeness, and I breathed you into your body at the instant of birth. "And you were connected to Me then, but you never knew it. Deep inside of you you knew, because I planted that knowledge of Me there, but over the years you have allowed the things of the world to choke that knowledge out. In the beginning, however, you were perfect; My greatest creation; molded in My own image. Don't you find it really quite humorous, to think that some could adamantly believe that this all came about by chance or evolution?
Could such a masterpiece have come about simply by chance?
"If you can see the truth in this, then how can you think that I didn't
hear you?


"Behold, I am standing at your heart's door, knocking and asking entrance, but I will not force My will on you. Call to Me now and ask Me to come in; into your heart and your life. Call to Me, for I am listening and waiting even as you read this. I'm only a word away, and if you will invite Me in, I will come in and never will I leave you alone. Give Me your heart and your love and, as I live, saith the Lord, this day you shall be one with Me in Paradise."

Forever; Jesus

The Power of Prayer Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now. Lord, show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your ability to work through them. Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, patience, and strength as they learn submission to Your leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You. Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage. Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders, and friends to support, and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the demonic forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name. Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend will bless you both. Passing this on to one not considered a friend is something I know Christ would do. Author Unknown ~ Scripture ~ Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints Ephesians 6:18 KJV When you receive this, say a prayer. That's all you have to do. There is nothing attached. This is powerful. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue praying for one another.

What if...? God couldn't take the time to Bless us to day because we could not take the time to thank Him yesterday What if...? God decided to stop leading us tomorrow Because we didn't follow him today... What if...? God didn't walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as his day... What if....? We never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the rain..... What if...? God stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others.... What if...? God took away the Bible tomorrow, because we would not read it today What If...? God took away his message because we failed to listen to his messenger... What if...? God didn't send His only begotten Son because he wanted us be prepared to pay the price of sin... What if...? The door to the church was closed because we did not open the door of our hearts... What if...? God would not hear us today because we would not listen to Him yesterday..... What if...? God answered our prayers the way we answer his call to service What if...? THE CROSS ROOM

I have had a much better day today. I even got a little house work done before I felt woozie. So I know Im on my way to being well. Thanks for your prayers my dear friends. I love ya all, Bethany

The story of how Jonah resisted the Lord's calling is legendary. But isn't it unfortunate that God had to go to such extreme measures to get His prophet to obey? Jonah did what we all try to do sometimes. We substitute our plan for God's. There are times when we know what the Lord has in mind, but resist anyway. Then whenever we pray, it seems He brings up the issue we've been trying to avoid. The pressure to act doesn't let up until we decide either to do what God asks or to quit praying. So, we proceed… but not according to His plan. Instead, we choose a course that fit our desires. Then, we try to drown out God's voice in a flurry of activity. Maybe we even get involved in some ministry, hoping He'll be satisfied. But, all that busyness and service from wrong motivation will bring only misery. Anything short of complete obedience is disobedience. If getting us to learn this principle requires being swallowed up by whale-sized trouble, God will allow it. The Lord is not interested in our convenience or comfort. He's focused on conforming His children to the image of Christ and using them to spread the Gospel throughout the world. Substituting our shortsighted plan for His is selfish. We must not resist God's perfect plan for our lives because we fear it will cost us wealth, time, or social status. Rejecting it will cause us to fall deeper into trouble and despair. But the moment we repent and commit to obey, we are freed from the self-imposed prison of disobedience. Following the Lord's plan for our life is the way to peace and joy. In Touch Ministry

Surely as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, I shall come unto you as the sun on a clear and bright day at noon shines down upon the earth. And I shall pour forth My Spirit upon you, and it shall run as mighty rivers of water going forth in a powerful and great way. For there is a time when the river flows peacefully, and there is a time when the river flows at a rapid pace. I am calling you to come with Me, to take your journey upon the river. This is the river of My Spirit that flows forth from the very throne room, from My throne room. And as it goes forth I shall bring forth My people to come to rest in that peaceful journey upon the river. There shall be times when you shall move rapidly, and you shall go through the rapids and you shall wonder, oh Lord, can I make this journey? And I say unto you -- yes, you can make this journey, because I have taken a hold of you, and My hand is upon you. And I shall go with you, and I shall strengthen you. And I shall give you that strength deep within your own spirit that will encourage, and cause you to want to come with Me. As you come with Me upon this journey, you shall see many things that you have not seen before, and you shall see those things through the eyes that I give unto you. For you shall see them through the spirit, not in the natural. You shall see them because I place My hand upon you, and I pour My Spirit down upon you. Know that I am your God. Surely as I shine upon you, the brilliance of My light is being placed within you and upon you, that you may shine and reflect the light that I have placed within you. Know that I am your God, and that this day I have My hand upon you. So stand firm on the word that I have planted within you, and take your journey upon the river. © Fred Kelly
