<span style="font-size: large;">I learned years ago that love is patient and love is kind. When someone irritates you and gets under your skin doesn't cause you to get irritated is love. If we are easily irritated, we need to remember that perfection exists only I God. Love is not lust. Our society confuses love and lust. Real love gives and expects nothing in return. Only God can help us set aside our own desires and instincts so that we can give love without expecting nothing in return. Love doesn't envy what others have. Love is happy for the next person. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. Love protects, trusts, hopes, and always preserves. Years ago, I had to ask God to give me real love for my biological father because when I was growing up, he never came to visit me or did anything for me, it left me bitter towards him, and it left me vulnerable and fragile. Had he was there in my life, a lot of things that happened to me wouldn't have happened because he would have been my umbrella from a lot of stuff. So, after I receive God as my lord and savior, I had to ask God to give me love for my father, and he did. When I saw my daddy, I had nothing but pure love for him. When I was a child, some other bad things happened to me, and I had to ask God to heal me of that and give me love for the ones who hurt me. I know for a fact that God is love and love comes from God. So, if you need real love, just call on the name of God and his son, and it's yours.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When I asked myself this question, I thought about what took place when I first became a Christian? Before I became a Christian, I had to believe there was a Christ. Once I heard the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, it left such a conviction upon me that I knew that God was real, and I knew that his power was real, so I began to believe in God, his power, and the Holy Bible. After believing, I began to allow the holy spirit to transform my mind and that transformation caused me to become a Christian! After the holy spirit transformed my mind, and my soul, I naturally wanted my body to line up with the word of God. I no longer wanted to please myself, but, pleasing the Lord and behaving the way God wanted me to, was my daily goal. Now, I can conclude that one must believe first, then they become a Christian, and once they become a Christian, they will want their behavior to line up with the word of God. Would you agree that some of us Christians treat growing in Christ as an attempt to become someone different rather than a continual and growing realization that we’ve already become different? I’m excited to hear your thoughts on the subject of believe, become, and behave, or believe, behave, and then become. Minnie L Douglas</span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the beginning, God loved his creations, but he was lonely. He wanted a friend to share his new world, someone who would be like him. After careful consideration, he formed a man from the dust of the earth and called his name Adam unlike any of God's other choices. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Knowing that Adam would be lonely, he created a woman and named here Eve and not Steve to be his companion. Adam and Eve lived together in a beautiful garden called Eden. Often God would visit them in this garden, and he enjoyed talking to them. He blessed Adam and Eve with children, so children are an inheritance from God, and God expect parents to be good head ships over their children. Adam and Eve became the first parents of the earth. Soon, the world was filled with people, and God wanted everyone to be happy and live forever in his perfect world. The one's he loved so dearly, turned their backs on what was right, but that didn't stop him from loving them. So, he came up with a plan of salvation to give everyone an opportunity to be redeemed and come back to him. He loved us so much that he sacrificed his one and only sons life, so that we would have a right to the tree of life. God is still waiting and longing for us to come back to him. Would you come back to the Lord right where you are? You don't need to be in a building to come back to him, because He'll accept you right where you are. You can start by repeating the sinner's prayer. Say, " Lord Jesus, I'm a sinner, and I repent of every wrong thing I've ever done against you. I ask you to forgive me and come into my life and make me over again. Lord, I don't want to go to hell, save my soul from hell, fill me with your holy power from on high, and I thank you and accept you as my Lord as savior." Once you repeat this prayer, you are now a born again Christian, and heaven rejoices over one soul. Praise the Lord my brother or sister in Christ. You have been bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and you are accepted into his kingdom. </span><br />

HE GUIDES ME IN PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS<br />
FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.<br />
EVEN THOUGH I WALK<br />
THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,<br />
I WILL FEAR NO EVIL.<br />

YOU PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE ME<br />
IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES.<br />
YOU ANOINT MY HEAD WITH OIL,<br />
MY CUP OVERFLOWS.<br />
SURELY, GOODNESS AND LOVE WILL FOLLOW ME<br />
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE,<br />

GOD IS SEEN AS A CARING SHEPHERD AND A DEPENDABLE GUIDE. WE MUST FOLLOW GOD AND OBEY HIS COMMANDS. HE IS OUR ONLY HOPE FOR ETERNAL LIFE AND SECURITY. DAVID<br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">Angels carry out God's judgment</span></strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">.<strong>" (2 Samuel 24:16-17.) </strong>" But as the death angel was preparing to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented and aid to the <strong>angel</strong>, stop! That's enough! At that moment, the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite." Verse seventeen says, “When David saw the angel, he said to the Lord, "I am the one who has sinned and done wrong! And these people are innocent- what have they done? Let your anger fall against me and my family<span style="font-size: large;">."(NLT</span>)</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">Angels Serve God</span></strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">. "Bless the Lord ye his <strong>angels</strong>, who excel in strength that do his commandments and harkening unto the voice of his word<span style="font-size: large;">.”(NLT)<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 20pt;">Angels praise God. Let's read (Psalm148:2). “It says, “Praise him all his <strong>angels</strong>! Praise him, all the armies of heaven!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">Angels are messengers</span></strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">. Let's read (Daniel 4:17) and see what it says. It says, “For this has been decreed by the <strong>messengers</strong>. It is commanded by the holy ones. The purpose of this decree is that the whole world may understands that the most high rules over the kingdom of the world, and gives them to anyone he chooses, even to the lowliest of humans<span style="font-size: large;">." (NLT)</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">Angels protect God's people.</span></strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;"> Read (Daniel 6:22). It says, "My God has sent his <strong>angel</strong> to shut the mouth of the lions so they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight."</span><span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">Angels do not marry.</span></strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;"> Read (St. Mathews 22:30). It says, "For when the dead rise, they won't be married, they will be like the <strong>angels</strong> in heaven." <span style="font-size: large;">(NLT)</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">Angels do not die. Re</span></strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">ad (St. Luke 20:36). It says, “Neither can they die anymore, for they are equal to the <strong>angel</strong>s, nor are the children of God being the children of the resurrection." <span style="font-size: large;">(NLT)</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">"Satan disguises himself as an angel of light</span></strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">. Read (2 Corinthians 11:14) it says, "But I am not surprised! Even Satan can describe himself as an <strong>ange</strong>l of light."<span style="font-size: large;">(NLT)</span> </span><span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">Angels who sinned were thrown into hell</span></strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">. <strong>(2Peter 2:4</strong>) says, "For God did not spare the <strong>angels</strong> who sinned. He threw them in to hell and gloomy caves in darkness until judgment day."<span style="font-size: large;">(NLT)</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">Angels are in the presence of God</span></strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;">. (Revelations4:8) says, "each of these <strong>living beings</strong> had six wings and their wings were covered with eyes inside and outside. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY- THE ONE WHO ALWAYS WAS, WHO IS, AND WHO IS STILL TO COME." <span style="font-size: large;">(NLT)</span> </span><span style="font-size: 20pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"><strong>Angels should not be worshipped</strong>. Read (Revelation 22:9.) It says, “But again he said, No, don't worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in the scroll Worship God!"<span style="font-size: large;">(NLT)</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 20pt;">I'm going to close by saying, “I am now convinced that angels are real. Once upon a time, I heard someone testify and said that they died and the death <strong>angels</strong> came and got their soul and showed them heaven and hell and brought their soul back to their body. I also believe the holy scripture in Psalm 23 when it says, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, I believe goodness and mercy are the earthly angels that follows us while on the earth and when we die, death angels get our soul. I also believe that there are earthly angels that God has assigned to each of us. Let us began to thank God for our angels that he has placed over us. amen and amen. I hope someone enjoyed this teaching on angels, amen.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I got up early one morning<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And rushed right into the day;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I had so much to accomplish<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That I didn’t have time to pray.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Problems just tumbled about me,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And heavier came each task.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Why doesn’t God help me?” I wandered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He answered, “You didn’t ask,”</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I wanted to see joy and beauty,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But the day toiled on, gray and bleak;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I wondered why God didn’t show me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He said, “But you didn’t seek.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I tried to come into God’s presence;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I used all my keys at the lock.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">God gently and lovingly chided,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“My child, you didn’t knock.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I woke up early this morning,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And paused before entering the day;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I had so much to accomplish<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That I had to take time to pray.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Author unknown<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I read this poem, I immediately thought to myself, yes prayer does makes a difference in how one’s day turns out.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>PHILIPPIANS 4:8</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Meditate on things that are true.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 2. Meditate on things that are lovely. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Meditate on things that are noble. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Meditate on things that are just. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Meditate on things that are virtuous.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6.Meditate on things that are pure. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Meditate on things that are praise worthy,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">8) Meditate on things that are of good report. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you agree that when we fill our daily lives with meditation and prayer, there will be no room for fear?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There's so much evil works going on in the world today that it causes some of us to develop a great amount of fear in our hearts and minds, but I want to remind you that fear is of the devil, and father God of heaven, wants to wipe every ounce of fear from your minds, hearts, and spirits. </span><span style="font-size: large;">God wants us to spend as much time as we can meditating on these eight things that I've written out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A PRAYER FOR COURAGE</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I've also included this prayer to pray every chance you get<strong>.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Say, "Lord, you are my light and my salvation whom shall I fear or what shall I be afraid of? </span><span style="font-size: large;">Even though an army may surround me and go to war against me, my heart will not fear. <strong>(Psalm 27:1-3) I</strong> will be strong and of good courage. For I know that you're with me wherever I go. (<strong>Joshua 1:9) Free me oh Lord from all ungodly fear. For I know that fear is never of you. Lord, Guard my heart and mind from the spirit of fear. Whatever I am afraid of today, take this fear and replace it with perfect love</strong>. Thank you Lord that the fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction, and he will not be consumed by evil<strong>(Proverbs 19:23)</strong>Help me to grow in the fear and reverence of you, so that I may please you and escape the plans of evil for my life. Thank you that those who fear you will never lack any good thing Amen." I hope the word of God is a blessing unto you and your family.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">HEBREW 7:27- HE OFFERED UP HIS SON FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">God offered us salvation by giving up his one and only son to die for the sins of the whole wide world. Now, that was a serious offer, and he went through with all of his offers. I believe that God wants us be serious in our walk with him too. How many times have you witnessed people sing songs of Zion and haven't really submitted totally to God? Just think about it, are we really serious when we sing songs like, "Lord I want to be a Christian in my heart, and when we sing songs like, Lord make me over, make me over again?" </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"> Here are some more serious offer God made to us that he followed through with. God offers love instead of hate, hope instead of despair, peace instead of turmoil, eternal life instead of eternal damnation, wisdom instead of foolishness, strength instead </span><span style="font-size: large;"> weakness, understanding instead of lameness, joy instead of sorrow, how many more can you think of? Thank you God that you always, follow through with your offer to us. I believe that when were ready to change, we'll make steps towards changing. How many times have you heard someone say, " I'm ready to give my life to God, but make no effort to change, or I want to get off drugs or alcohol but never make a step toward get off them, or I'm tired of running around with other women or other men, but never make any effort to stop. When we see that person making an effort to do what's right, then we'll know they're serious about what they say. More importantly, when we cry out to God and tell him, "Lord, I'm ready to go all the way with you and I'm ready to make you my Lord and savior," God will take it from there and he'll take us serious. From time to time, we may fool each other into thinking, well, maybe this person or that person means what he or she says, but we can't fool God at all because he made us and he knows all about us, and to that I say amen, and let's get serious with our relationship with God because he's ready to take us under his wings and show us great and might things he has in store for each and everyone of us because he loves us that much, and to that I say amen.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>Ephesians 6:10-19niv</u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. <strong>Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes! </strong>For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. <strong>Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground .</strong></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><strong> </strong>After you've done everything to stand,, stand firm then with the belt of truth bucked around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and your feet fitted with readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish of all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God, and pray in the spirit on all occasions' with all kinds of prayers and request with this in mind. Be alert and always keep on praying for all saints. <strong><u> </u></strong></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When I think about all the things God, Our Heavenly Father, has done for me and my family, I can truly without a doubt that God is better than good. The God I serve is awesome because he's there when friends turn their backs on me. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"> He healed my broken heart. He saved my soul from everlasting punishment. He'll be a mother when you're motherless. He was a father when my earthly father wasn't there. If you need it, He'll be a brother , a sister, a wife, a husband, a aunt, uncle, cousin. When it seems like my problems were more than I could be he was there taking the load off my shoulders and working my problems out for the good. I heard somebody say he was a lawyer when they didn't have money to pay for an Attorney. He was a friend who I could lean and depend on. Sometimes, we need to talk about our problems and can certain it will not get out, God will be that shoulder you can lean on, and he'll never tell anybody about it! He'll be your water when you're thirsty. He'll be your bread when you're hungry. I heard somebody said he was a doctor when they were on their sick bead when their doctor gave up on them. God is all that and more! One more thing about Our heavenly father, he is not prejudice and has no respecter person because I'm a witness that what he does for one, he'll do for the other, it's done according to your faith. I summit to you to elevate your faith in God, and see don't he give you a testimony to the fact that he is beyond good, he is <strong>awesome!</strong> May God bless America, Land of the</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Many of us know this, so this is just a reminder that God wants us to increase our faith, and Satan wants us to decrease our faith, it sounds simple, but It' really a deep subject. You see, Satan knows that if you can faith it, everything's going to be okay because God's got you. You see, faith is having an unwavering confidence in God. God wants to know can you trust him even when you don't like what he's doing. A lot of times God does things I don't like, but if I want the victory, I need to trust that he's got the situation in control. </span><a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">God wants to know, can you trust him even when you've prayed, prayed, and prayed, and nothing happened. There are something's that happens in our lives that seems unfair, ask yourself, can I still faith it, can I still trust in God to come to my rescue? Hebrew 11:6 says, "Without faith, it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." How do you faith it? You've got to put your belief in God to work. I'm reminded of the song that said, “If you make one step he'll make two, there's isn't no limit what God can do, he said if you go, don't worry about yourself, all you have to do is make a step. I'm going to walk on out in Jesus name, I've been false accused and I'm not ashamed." God wants to know, will you be faithful to him with the little you have? You may say, I can't do this or do that because of this or that, or will you say, I know I don't have it like this person or that person, but with the help of the Lord, I'm going to do my best? That's what God wants to hear. I believe that when we began to trust and believe in God, he'll not only help us pay the bills, he'll heal us from sickness, put food on the table, clothes on our backs and shoes on our feet! I remember the time when I first gave my life to God. I didn't have hardly any dresses or skirts to wear to church, but I didn't let that stop me from serving the Lord, and I trusted God more back then. One night I went to church and low and behold, a sister in the church had brought me two brand new dresses to wear! You see, God put that on her heart to do that for me! I've been saved a long time, and I have hundreds of faith testimony's I can share. I'm reminded of the scripture that says, “When the Son of Man return, will he find faith on the earth? Believe it or not, most of us have lost our faith and trust in God. Now a day, we'll work the whole week before we get paid, but we trust our bosses to pay us on pay day, but we don't have that much faith in our heavenly father. Wouldn't you agree that something is definitely wrong with that picture? In my closing, I dare any of you who's reading this post to put your faith on anything that you think is too hard for you to get the victory over, and watch God move on your</span></div>
