good story mr wof!

runningwolf: great story:D is that actually true?

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

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

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.

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!

Dolittle: That is sad.
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.

Dolittle: Wow. That's sad. Do you know the family?

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.

due to the events that transpired this past weekend..

to the two young ladies who partied Saturday night and then ended up in a roll over on the far west end of town.. My heart and prayers go out to your families and friends for their loss of such young beautiful girls.. they were in 10th and 11th grade..

To the parents of D**** who thought no one liked him.. So saddened by his feelings he threw himself onto the tracks in front of a train..

To the family and friends of a well known receptionist at the clinic here in town.. She passed after her illness and battle with cancer..

and to the family of the gentleman who was out riding his horse in the mountains.. When his horse ended up spooked ending in a fatal accident with the rider..

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

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

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

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

For London and all the families and friends.

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
 

ArtfulDodger: That's good news!!

She's at home with my sister and her husband now and on the mend. I guess it was a very bad reaction to a drug she was taking.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family AD...pray your Mom gets better real soon!!

my mom's been in the hospital for about a week and that she nearly died. Somehow in my large family the lines of communication broke down. She's still in the hospital and I have no details yet. Your prayers would be appreciated.

31. Holy art Thou, O God, the universals' Father.

Holy art Thou, O God, whose Will perfects itself by means of its own Powers.

Holy art Thou, O God, who willeth to be known and art known by Thine own.

Holy art Thou,who didst by Word (Logos) make to consist the things that are.

Holy art Thou, of whom All-nature hath been made an image.

Holy art Thou, whose Form Nature hath never made.

Holy art Thou, more powerful than all power.

Holy art Thou, transcending all pre-eminence.

Holy Thou art, Thou better than all praise.

Accept my reason's offerings pure, from soul and heart for aye stretched up to Thee, O Thou unutterable, unspeakable, Whose Name naught but the Silence can express.

I just heard this on the radio, and had to find the lyrics to share...

During the North African campaign, a bunch of soldier boys had
been on a long hike and they arrived in a little town called Casino. The next morning being Sunday, several of the boys went to Church. A sergeant commanded the boys in Church and after the Chaplain had read the prayer, the text was taken up next. Those of the boys who had a prayer book took them out, but this one boy had only a deck of cards, and so he spread them out. The Sergeant saw the cards and said, "Soldier, put away those cards." After the services was over, the soldier was taken prisoner and brought before the Provost Marshall.
The Marshall said, "Sergeant, why have you brought this man
here?" "For playing cards in church, Sir." "And what have you to say for yourself, son?" "Much, Sir," replied the soldier. The Marshall said, "I hope so, for if not I shall punish you more than any man was ever
punished." The soldier said, "Sir, I have been on the march for about six days. I have neither a Bible nor a prayer book, but I hope to satisfy you, Sir, with the purity of my intentions." And with that, the boy started his story:
"You see Sir, when I look at the Ace, it reminds me that there
is but one God. And the Deuce reminds me that the Bible is divided into two parts, the Old and the New Testaments. When I see the Trey, I think of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. And when I see the Four, I think of the four Evangelists who preached the Gospel; there was Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And when I see the Five, it reminds me of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps; there were ten of them: five were wise and were saved, five were foolish and were shut out. When I see the Six, it reminds me that in six days, God made this great heaven and earth. When I see the Seven, it reminds me that on the seventh day, God rested from His great work. And when I see the Eight, I think of the eight righteous persons God saved when He destroyed this earth; there was Noah, his wife, their sons and their wives. And when I see the Nine, I think of the lepers our Savior cleansed, and nine out of the ten didn't even thank Him. When I see the Ten, I think of the Ten Commandments God handed down to Moses on a table of stone. When I see the King, it reminds me that there is but one King of Heaven, God Almighty. And when I see the Queen, I think of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is Queen of Heaven. And the Jack or Knave is the Devil.
When I count the number of spots on a deck of cards, I find 365, the number of days in a year. There are 52 cards, the number of weeks in a year. There are 4 suits, the number of weeks in a month. There are 12 picture cards, the number of months in a year. There are 13 tricks, the number of weeks in a quarter.
So you see, Sir, my pack of cards serves me as a Bible, an Almanac and a Prayer Book."
"And friends, the story is true. I know, I was that soldier."

Two traveling monks reached a river where they met a young woman. Wary of the current, she asked if they could carry her across. One of the monks hesitated, but the other quickly picked her up onto his shoulders, transported her across the water, and put her down on the other bank. She thanked him and departed.

As the monks continued on their way, the one was brooding and preoccupied. Unable to hold his silence, he spoke out. "Brother, our spiritual training teaches us to avoid any contact with women, but you picked that one up on your shoulders and carried her!"

"Brother," the second monk replied, "I set her down on the other side, while you are still carrying her."

Grim Reaper: my condolensces to you and your family during this difficult time.

Day is done,
gone the sun,
From the hills,
from the lake,
From the skies.
All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.

RIP my friend and brother.

I wish 2 4ever Thank You and Bless You 4 the gift of life which I am a recent recipient of - without people like you in this world, people like me would no longer be here - may your life be nothing less then amazing and wonderful :)

Prayers needed for rredy! He had a stroke last night...will be going home from the hospital tomorrow. I'm not sure of any details, but i'm sure he will appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

I have a special request. If someone close to the Big Guy will be so kind as to pass along a private prayer for a family member of mine far from home, I would appreciate it.

People asked me how they are doing.. She called me and we talked about 2 hours.
I wanted to give her time to heal and she called me first.
One question was ..Why didn't they tell sooner the baby was without organs. Her husband had quit Public Groceries and went into business for himself. This was 5 years ago. They were very lucky as they had no insurance. Baby was not planned.The test.. ultasound was not taken when it should have been. No Dr. would take her without ins. Finally they found a great one that would. By then it was to late. The Dr. saw this and sent her to the specialist right away.
The baby did not cry.. It had nothing but a heart. The eyes were fused shut. They are at that time of pregancy. The baby was held by everyone in the family. Cherie said when she held him he grabbed her finger ..With a slight smile. John age 11 held him and talked brother talk. He smiled big. Then daddy held him. Smile was about as like When Cherie held him. He was just like John on the outside...when he was born. So he was perfect on the outside in every way.
Cherie said God wanted him more.
I know God had a great part in this. Cherie and Charlie had a few problems. This brought them closer as a family and to God. They now bought Insurance ..They learned that, too. Cherie told me if she isnt able to have another baby. They will adpot. Here is her message to me by E-mail ..We are going to this.
Hello all,
     I would like to thank all of you for all of the prayers and cards sent our way in this time of healing. Our little angel is looking down upon us and smiling . We have made memorial arrangements for baby Joseph.
 
The service will be held on June 11(sat) at 10:00 am at Grace Community Church  Located at 13 S.E. 21st. Place, Cape Coral, Fl.  Please let us know by June 7th if you can attend we have to let the Pastor know how many will be there.
 
Thanks again for all of the well wishes they really do help in the healing process. Love to all,  Cherie , Charlie, and John

GrannyPatty:Thanks for that report! I pray they find the bleeding problem and can fix it so she will soon be well!

Dolittle: She was taken out of ICU and off the ventilator on Saturday. Now she has another problem with internal bleeding. They have done nuclear tests to find out what the problem is. So far, no results.

CONTAINING THE DISCOURSE OF THE SOUL WITH THE BODY AND SELF-LOVE; AND ALSO OF THE SPIRIT WITH HUMANITY
CHAPTER I
The soul and the body propose to travel in company, and to take self-love for a third party.

I saw, said the saint, a Soul and a Body conversing with one another; and first, the Soul said: My Body, God has created me to love, and to enjoy myself; I wish, therefore, to go where I can best accomplish this design, and to have you accompany me in a friendly way, since it will be to your advantage also. We will go through the world; if I find anything which pleases me, I will enjoy it; you can do the same when you find anything which pleases you; and let him do better that can.
The Body answered: Though I may be obliged to do whatever pleases you, yet I see that you cannot accomplish all that you wish without me. Therefore, if we are to set forth together let us come to a perfect understanding before we start, in order that we may not fall out by the way. For my own part, I agree to your proposal, but let each of us be satisfied with the success of the other when he meets with anything that pleases him, for such forbearance, will keep us in peace. I advise this beforehand, because I do not wish that you should deceive me, and say whenever I find something that I like: "I do not wish you to linger here, for I am going elsewhere to attend to my own concerns," and thus I might find myself obliged to abandon my own plans in order to follow yours. In that case, I assure you I should die, and our design would be frustrated. To prevent this, I think it would be well to take with us a third companion, some just person who has no share in our partnership, and to whom all our differences could be referred.
Soul. I am well-pleased with this proposal; but who shall this third person be?
Body. Let it be Self-Love, who lives with us both; he will see that I have what belongs to me, and I shall enjoy with him. He will do the same for you, and thus, both will be satisfied, each in his own way.
Soul. What shall we do if we find food equally gratifying to both?
Body. Let him eat who may. If there is enough for both there will be no disagreement. If there is not enough, Self-Love will give to each his share. But since our tastes are so different, it will be most extraordinary if we should find food equally pleasing to both, unless one or the other should change; which is contrary to the nature of things.
Soul. By nature I am more powerful than you, and therefore I have no fear of your converting me to your tastes.
Body. But this is my home, where I have so many delightful things to enjoy, that although you may be more powerful than I, you could not possibly awaken in me the desire to be converted to yours. But I, being, as I have said, at home, might more easily convert you to my tastes, doing it from love and from a wish to please you, for you are seeking things which you neither see, taste, nor understand,--nor do you even know where your home is.
Soul. Let us try the experiment; but, in the first place, we must make some agreement by which we may secure harmony. Let us take alternate weeks. When it is my turn you must do whatever is pleasing to me; and, in like manner, when yours comes, I will do whatever you wish, always excepting, so long as I live, whatever would offend our Creator. If I die, that is, if you induce me to offend him, I shall then be your servant to do your bidding, for in that case I shall be wholly converted to your wishes, and shall take pleasure in whatever pleases you. Being thus united, no one but God can ever interrupt our union,for it will always be protected by free-will; and both in this world and the next we shall receive together the reward of all the good and evil that we do. A like fate will be yours, if I succeed in conquering you.
But here comes Self-Love. You have heard the whole. Will you be our third party, our judge, and the companion of our journey?
Self-Love. I consent, and shall find it greatly to my advantage. I shall give each of you what belongs to him, for this will not injure me; and thus I shall live on equal terms with both. But if either of you should wrong me, and deprive me of my support, I shall immediately have recourse to the other, for on no account would I be deprived of my own subsistence.
Body. I am not one who would ever abandon you.
Soul. Nor would I ever do so, especially as we all agree and understand that, above all things, we are to avoid offending God. Therefore, if either of us sins, the others will check the offender. Now, in God's name, let us go, and I, being the most worthy, will take the first week.
Body. I am contented; guide me, and do with me whatever reason directs. Self-Love and I yield to you.

Dear global friends,

how are you all doing? Trust that the Lord is working in your lives immensely - the only possible way in which He reveals Himself to you and your loved ones.. I pray He blesses all of you abundantly!!

As I write this letter, my heart grieves.. it grieves for my church. There is spirit of a discord in our body of believers with regards to staff and budget issues. Without going into too much detail, I ask you humbly to pray for my church this week as we are between two meetings.. this week is announced as a prayer week for final votes to be done on these issues this coming Sunday.

Please pray for UNITY within the body. Please pray for repentence that every single part of the body should ask before our Lord Jesus Christ, before the meeting starts. Please pray we become clean and with a pure heart before the Lord and into this meeting... and please pray over this meeting, that we know that its Our Father that is in charge of this Church and every desicion taken... please pray that this crisis we are currently in will lead each part of the body more and more into His Presence, more and more growing into the wisdom, the knowledge who the Father is and what He has done for us.. I pray this crisis will be a challenge for all of us to put God first and let Him rule in our Church!! Let Him rule in our Church!! Please pray with us, that our body will be one in HIM and that our eyes and our hearts will tell about His Love, that our heart are full of fire about God, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit!! And please pray that Our Church will grow into that fire, that it will be purified into this fire of Faith, so that we will become a living testimony, that our body will be like Christ, that we will reach out and grow in number, all to glorify His Holy Name!! I pray that in Jesus' Holy Name - AMEN

Tomorrownight we will have a prayer meeting in our Church.. I pray many will come and pray with us and hope you will pray with us continually.. Bless your hearts!

In HIM, Radiant
