Dear Friends and Relatives,
 
I have never done this before over the Internet,  but I'm asking for help your help for some thing very dear and close to my heart...  My sister, Joan, suffered a stroke last Sunday morning and has been going through physical, occupational and soon speech therapy to repair the paralysis of her whole left side.  As I sat with her yesterday I asked God to show me a way that I could help her.  On my way home from the hospital an e-mail that I had just received that morning...a part of it went like this, 
 
 I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.   I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.   Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me. 
 
 
Sure, when I am need help, what's the first thing I do...I go to God in prayer and feel His closeness... so I'm asking all of you to please just stop right now and bow your head and whisper a little prayer for Joan's healing.  God's lines are never busy or closed He can and will hear all of us.     
 
Please keep Joan in your thoughts today, intercessory prayers are heard and I feel all of you can and will help.  The load seems much lighter when someone helps me carry it.
 
I won't ask God to bless you, He's already done this, but I do thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking just a minute to say a little prayer for Joan and share this burden my family is carrying.  
 
 
In God's Light,  I am...
          Jalene
 

For London and all the families and friends.

Pbarb2: I've said a little prayer for Joan. Please let Jalene know that people care.

Beren the 32nd: Thank you so much. She is not improving much. God is in her life so we know she is in good hands. God Bless

Europe falls silent for bomb victims

I wanna put a prayer out there for my Friend Margaret.. she rolled her truck tonight and ended up braking a few ribs and dinging herself up pretty good.. although, she will recover she will be very sore.. :(

she totaled her truck completely.. but, her little doggy made it through the accident.. so lives were spared.. :)

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your Presence and the Fellowship we enjoyed in this meeting place.. Thank you for Your wisdom and Your Love.. which never changes... You were the same when You created the earth and are the same today as you will be tomorrow and the years to come! amen

Thank You Lord, for Barb. I wish to lift her up here before Your tabernacle, Lord.. Thank You Lord for using her here at BrainKing to speak aloud about Your Love, Your Faithfulness.. Thank You Lord for fill her with your spirit to minister to lost people.. Lord, I bring her before You and pray for her health and her love for her loved ones in Your precious Name, Christ Jesus - Amen

Father Lord, I bring before You all my friends in this fine Fellowship and pray to keep them safe and protected under Your wings. As we will part now, Lord, I ask You to cover each one of us with the precious blood of Jesus to wash us clean; whiter then snow. We are Your precious sons and daughters and You will go before us and flatten the mountains.. And the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet Your unfailing Love for us will not be shaken, nor Your covenant of peace be removed, says You, Our Lord, who has compassion on us. (Isaiah 54:10)

Thank you Lord, for your new covenant in the promise You have for Your people since the day You created the earth. Thank you Lord, for given us your only begotten Son to fulfill Your new covenant! For You loved the world that You gave us Your one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For You did not send Your Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him, who lives!! John 3:16-17

Father Lord, guide our steps towards PEACE, that surpasses all understanding. Father Lord, guide our steps towards ETERNITY, there where You are awaiting us in streets of gold. Father Lord, help us to grow more in You and to draw nearer to You in everything we do. Father Lord, help us to study Your Word of Wisdom.. let us encounter Your true Love in the Promise, the Prophesies and the let grow a conviction in us that You will always keep your Promise. You are always Faithfull. Now please lead us to the Will You have for us in this life on earth.

For it is better to take refuge in the LORD then to trust in man. Psalm 118:8

Lord, YOU are in the center of the earth; You are in the center of the Bible and You are in the center of Our lives. I pray we lift up our eyes to heaven and ask for help.. cry out for help!!! Father Lord I believe that You hear us and speak to us in the silence of our hearts, in the depth of our hearts.. I pray we listen carefully and obey your every command!

Father Lord, thank You for Your Presence and Your everlasting Love!

Let me honor You and pray Your prayer:

Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy KINGDOM come,
Thy WILL be done
on earth as it is in HEAVEN.
Give us this day our daily BREAD.
And FORGIVE us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, forever - AMEN Matthew 6:9-13

My prayers go to the families of those who died in Egypt last night. One Czech was among them...

I still cannot believe that we are gonna lose this wonderful fellowship, Gods Place is!!

Its easier to believe in HIM the LIVING GOD, then to believe to loose the place we could worship and honor Christ Jesus..

He, Our LIVING LORD, can come back tonight! Are you prepared? Are you ready? I pray as many people as possible are ready for that glorious day, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OR LORDS will come through the closed gate in Zion to rule in the Temple for Thousands Years. AMEN

Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD. He lives within us. We shine His Light , for we are His people. And we should live alike Him and grow more and more in Him, which is my prayer for you all! AMEN

Obey Him and He will give you peace and all the desires of your heart.

Delight yourself in HIM and He will give you the desires of Your heart. Psalm 37:4

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. AMEN 2 Corinthians 13:14

My thoughts and prayers go out to all for this trying and sad weekend..

Please say some prayers for wvsable. Her son lost his battle with pneumonia today August 19 at 2 p.m. and is now with the Lord.

It never ceases to amaze me that people still die nowadays from illnesses such as pneumonia. Unless of course it is a knock on effect from another disease.
My prayers to wvsable and family during this challenging time.

BananaD and AD..thanks for the prayers. Know she does appreciate them. AD, I don't really know the family but feel her pain. She is an internet friend that I met on gamedriven..very nice lady. BananaD, he did have other health problems and has suffered a lot the last few months.
Thanks again!

please say a prayer for Rory Blackhall's family. The 11 year old boy was missing in Britain and his body seems to have been found.

Horseman: My thoughts and prayers go out to the Blackhall family during this sad time!

The pastor's church was called Almighty God Tabernacle. On a Saturday night sevral weeks ago,the pastor was working late, and decided to call his wife before he left for the house.It was about 10:00 PM , but his wife didn't answer the phone.
The pastor let it ring many times. He thought it was odd that she did not answer, but decided to wrap up a few more things and try again in a few minutes. When he tried agin she answered right away.away. He asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said that it hadn't rung in their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways.
The following Minday, the pastor received a call atthe church office, which was the phone that he'd call on Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night. The pastor could not figure out what the guy was talking about.Ihen the guy said,"It rang and rang,but i didn't answer." The pastor remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, that he'd intended to call his wife.
The man said, " Thats Ok.Let me tell you my story You see i was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before i did, I prayed, 'God if you're out there, and you don't want me to do this, give me a sign now'
At that point the phone started to ring. i looked at the caller id and it said Almighty God'. I was afraid to answer

runningwolf: great story:D is that actually true?

good story mr wof!

AMEN Halleluyah!!! Isn't God GREAT!!!

Everyone please, please pray for those in southern US who are being affected by hurricane katrina!!

Message
Subject: Do Not Break - it is 4 years strong






This has not been broken since 9/11/01, please keep it going...
This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11. In memory of all those
who perished this morning; the passengers and the pilots on the United Air and
AA flights, the workers in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and all the
innocent bystanders. Our prayers go out to the friends and families of the
deceased.



IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all! I get,
I'd lik! e to say how much I love you
and I hope we ne ver forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.




PLEASE DON'T BREAK IT!!!!!!

There are about a half a million people displaced, 150,000 of them from below the poverty line. WHat's left of the city is covered not only in water and sewage, but industrial waste, corpses, etc. This is not Just about New Orleans, but also other areas like Mississippi and other parts of Louisianna that have been hit. another number is www.give.org.
Already there are scam sites on the web, so it is encouraged to make donations to the redcross website provided and other official sites here like the Salvation Army.
Remember its not just those trapped in the city that need help. One half of a million people uprooted. Food, water, etc. are needed desparately. People are fighting over supplies. In the stadium holding more than 30,000 people there was no power,no facilities, no water, and many died within that shelter with nothing done to remove the bodies. People are looting for basic needs and shooting at each other and rescue helicopters. Stealing boats from those who go in to save others and worse. It is a horrible scene where rescue workers are attacked by the very people they are trying to help. It will be years in cleaning up if ever. At least a year before any of these people return home. If they ever do. How do you get rid of the toxins? Please help in any way you can. Even the surrounding states are not equipped to help a half a million people.

Solo Violin
by John Fischer

In Atlanta, a killer on a rampage was stopped in his tracks by a single mom wielding Day 33 of The Purpose Driven Life. I wonder if any purpose can be found in New Orleans right now. At first glance it looks like chaos and anarchy with loss and despair higher than the high water mark in town.

But there are bound to be a number of believers in that mass of homeless humanity, and by that I don’t mean good, regular churchgoers, I mean people who know Jesus, and because they know Jesus, they have strength of character, fortitude and purpose that nothing in this world can faze.

This is a time when truth is tested, and real character prevails. You either lose it or you stand solid like a well-rooted tree when all around is giving way. People who have a purpose in life beyond their possessions or their place – people who know that a relationship with God is their most valued possession and nothing can take that away – will rise to the occasion. These people will continue to worship God even when their church is under water. They will grow leaps and bounds in their faith because faith becomes tangible in moments like this. They will bond immediately with others who know Christ, and serve those around them because that’s all you can do – that or complain, and they will be too buoyed by the reality of their faith to complain about anything. And they will realize a mission to spread the love of Jesus like never before.

Pray for these people, and know they are there. They are all over the place, and their time has come. Like Ashley Smith’s time came alone with a killer in her apartment, the time for a calm, steady faith, and even suitable humor has come.

There’s a story already out about a man in the Superdome who managed to escape the youth hostel where he was staying with his violin, and surrounded by the stench of human waste and the press of crowded suffering, he took his instrument out and began to play the Adagio of Bach’s “Sonata No. 1 in G Minor.”

“These people have nothing,” he said. “I have a violin. And I should play for them. They should have something.”

Pray for the believers who escaped with their faith and now have something to share with those who have nothing. It is their time to stand out like a violin in an overcrowded arena.

Large numbe of airlifts today. Gas crisis causing havock with all the refugees. Hotels from LA to Florida booked solid by refugees. Along the way gas stations out of Gas...over six hour lines of stalled cars waiting for fuel. Many stores along the route completely empty of goods. Military airlifts more than 47 flights today. Huge numbers still at convention center in NO. Heat, lack of water,lack of food,lack of diapers,lack of medicine,lack of just about everything causing deaths. The dead lying next to the living inside the dome. People still trapped inside various parts of the city.

Medical volunteers visit: www.hhs.gov, www.nih.gov, www.medicalreservecorps.gov

Shallow draft boats such as the swampers aka. fan boats perhaps the best means of transport in many parts of the city.

No matter what part of the US or even foreign aid welcome. But please go through the red cross, salvation army, and other sites I have listed. Official sites. There is a little progress, but the situation is still dire. Every prayer and every hand that helps is needed. Families are shattered, seperated, and starving. It is a tide of displaced humanity that has nowhere to go and everything they own in a single car or a single bag. If you ask what can I do? Visit the red cross sites, call the shelters...For now aid is the most important factor.

Lord God, creator of the heavens and the universe and every thing upon this Earth, help us Father, to walk as Jesus walked in Love, Compassion, patience and Forgiveness. As You know we are all sinners and weak; help us daily to focus on You and to grow more and more in You. Thank You Jesus.. For You are the Only Perfect One. We praise You and adore You. Help us to keep You first in everything we do. Halleluyah. In Jesus' Name we pray - AMEN

My best and closest friend for a few years now.

His Mother has passed away. The poor man is naturally very upset. He was very close to her. My prayers are with him just now.

Nirvana: All our prayers are with him and his family in these difficult times. We are sorry for his loss.

My prayers are with all of those in Pakistan who have lost loved ones and friends. I hope that they are able to find peace in the midst of their troubles.

whatdidyousay: I'm with you on that prayer. It may not be the end of such things there. Lots of seismic activity in that region.

PLEASE PRAY FOR MY GRANDSON KYLE
Kyle is our youngest daughters twin..age 3. He stopped breathing at birth. God saw fit that Kyle was to be with us. Drs. brought Kyle back to us. He was a little smaller than Blake..but has caught up pretty much now.
He seems like any other little boy..except when he started walking he started on his tip toes in his bare feet. First it looked like maybe a baby thing or habit. Then it started to get worse and now even with shoes he walks and runs on his toes. Really, he is so fast its hard to catch him sometimes. He always has been more senstive, hyper and still crys alot. My daughter and son in law took him to the Dr. yesterday. The Dr. said it could be muliplesclerosis.. another one he mentioned or maybe just a habit.. They have now put casts on both legs. This will be very hard on Kyle but the casts have to be done. Through this trying time for Kyle, my daughter, her family and our family please keep all of us in your thoughts and prayers. I know that thru God's help Kyle will have the best of care.
Thank You and God Bless you all..

Please say prayers for Bernice..her hubby passed away.
