HAPPY HOLIDAY BLUES GOT YOU DOWN: POPPYCOCK!
Jeremiah 29:11—I know the plans I have for you, to give you hope and a future.
Hope! The first candle we lit for advent. The first flame to flare up in our heart candle. The first statement in reaffirming our recognition of the Christ spirit with in. The first flame of awareness in our journey of faith and courage that will radiate out in to all those in need by our everyday actions….Doubt that?

Remember : Noah was a drunk, Abraham was too old, Isaac was a daydreamer, Jacob was called liar, Leah was ugly, Joseph was abused, David was only a shepherd. Need I go on? Your thoughts determine your world, you can bet it will be an uplifting day if you keep those thoughts positive. How? Jer. 29:12-13—pray unto me and I will answer, search for me with your heart and you will find me. SOME ONE IS KNOCKING ARE YOU ANSWERING?

Willingness by David Ridge
Let my heart be the vessel of God's Love.
Let my thoughts be the blossom of God's Love.
Let my words be the expression of God's Love.
Let my actions be the fulfillment of God's Love.

Wednesday Message. Nov 22, 2006

When David faced Goliath, he looked Goliath right in the eye and said with a determined voice, Goliath, You come against me with a sword and a shield, but I come against you in the name of the Lord-- 1 Sam 17:45
Did you notice David did not whine---why do I always have these big problems--- he did not focus on the magnitude of the obstacle before him. Instead he declared his representation of the lord.

Notice, he spoke the words aloud. He was not looking around to see who might have heard him. He did not care who heard his declaration. Yet he did not scream those words out to impress others with in ear shot, nor mumble the words in weakness, those were words of faith. He was focused on the greatness of God.

He did not merely think those words nor did he simply pray those words. No, he spoke them directly to the mountain of a man that was standing in front of him and took that great recorded step forward. Putting out into his universe that positive action and of course he reaped the benefit. As Paul Harvey would say---you know the rest of the story—page Two!

Stop talking to God about how big your problems are, and start talking to your mountains about how big your God is. We all must stop cursing the darkness and start commanding the light to come. If you want to change your world, you must start now, today by changing your words. 1 John 4-4 assures us---greater is He that is in you, than he of this world--- God will always cause you to triumph. Don't look high and low for the miracle, it is right in your mouth, speak it out to your mountain and step forward.



Activities:
`1. The yard sale was both a good learning experience, we know now how to improve it all, and it was somewhat profitable, in that every penny went into to vault of N.D.U. another repeat will be conducted on the 2nd of Dec. at the same location. We are open for donations to the sales.

2. Ask any that attended the service and bears picnic and you will find it was one of the most enjoyable times we have had in several months. 60 some odd bears and stuffed animals were collected and given to American Legion Auxiliary members for their annual Christmas party for the less fortunate children and to Children’s Hospitals. Great job N.D.U.

3. Though we are still looking for a leader for our Children’s Ministry, under adult supervision our teens have stepped up to the plate to assist with the teaching of some of the basics to our younger ones.

4. The Dwain Briggs concert will be held Dec. 9th at 7pm, at 3109 Lutz Lake Fern Road, less then a ¼ mile off Dale Mabry, turn left first light north of Cheval. All are welcome to this delightful concert.

Blessings,

Fred & Kat >^. .^<

Wednesday Message, November 15, 2006

We are fast approaching the time of the season where energy seems to be in short quantity. Always something to do, somewhere to be and you start wishing you had a clone. Somebody always seems to want just a little bit more of you. You know them, they mean well, but, they just drain all the energy and vitality out of you. These people just can’t find the joy in anything. Why?

If you have ever prayed the Lord’s Prayer and begun it by saying---OUR FATHER---then you are automatically acknowledging that you are a child of god. Being a child of God makes you a remarkable person, so if you are and we are all one in the father’s eyes, does not the person draining you have the same potential for life?
Genesis 1:26-27 states, let us make man in our image and have domination over----- MAN--- that is mankind, it did not say Bruce Kind, Harriet Kind, nor Billy Kind, has dominion over your world.
What the Bible passage is saying is that man is made in the image-likeness of God. If that is true, then YOU who are a member of the generic species of man, are made in and after that likeness of Spirit. Now to me that is a remarkable person, and makes a person potentially capable of being successful in anything undertaken, more then anything ever dreamed possible, YOU are holding the thoughts in your mind that will produce like kind. To fly, Peter Pan, you must have happy thoughts.
As you stand before the mirror brushing those teeth look at the person looking back at you, AS YOU BELIEVE, SO BE IT DONE UNTO YOU.
Protect your self with a shield of gleaming spiritual armor by quoting from Phil. 4: 13,
I CAN DO ALL THINGS IN HIM WHO STRENGTHENS ME.
If you only have two teeth that will be a short quote, for those of you with a full mouth of teeth, that could take some time, but, regardless God’s armor will protect you.

Amazingly, you can’t have an attitude and keep it a secret, or so many motivational speakers will tell you. Add this one new practice and watch attitudes change.



Friday, November 17, is World Peace Day. The peace guy has a prayer that we ask you pray today, tomorrow and Friday to join together for world peace.

Peaceguy’s Prayer

May the people on this planet be changed.
Changed from hatred to love,
Changed from greed to giving,
Changed from selfishness to selflessness,
Changed from apathy to action,
Changed from jealousy to joy over someone’s accomplishments,
Changed from fighting to peace,
Changed from fighting to peace,
Changed from killing to protecting life,
Changed from censorship to freedom,
Changed from ignorance to education,
Changed from fearing our differences to rejoicing our variety.

May we take it upon ourselves to feed the hungry, cure the sick,
House the homeless, educate the illiterate, love the unloved,
Compete to do the right thing instead of winning at any cost,
Be heroes that teach our children to
make the world a better place instead of glorifying violence and war,
stand up and speak out against things that are wrong
instead of sitting back and waiting for someone else,
demand honesty from our governments,
demand honesty from ourselves.

May we each take responsibility for our own actions
And realize that by refusing to change ourselves,
we condone all the evils of the world.
If one person changes, they teach others by example,
who in turn change and teach more,
one person becomes as a pebble rolling down a mountain,
picking up more pebbles as it continues,
becoming an avalanche of change.
It can happen, it must happen, it will happen.

To make this prayer work, you have to change yourself.

Copyright 1997 Don Morris

Feel free to use this anywhere and any place.
All that is asked is to reference this website if you do.

Here is our pebble to start this avalanche, . . . hopefully you will add
your pebble and together we can demonstrate how easy it is to make
a grassroots movement work.

Feel free to share this with your friends. Imagine if you shared it with six other people the change that could occur.

Exciting news today fellow Truth Seekers, but, first a word from our sponsor:

Are you ready to “get a grip” on your life? Take hold of yourself!

If you “dare” to take charge of your life and discipline in your thoughts- God will take you to places you’ve never dreamed of.

It may be a little painful to not always get your way; sure, it hurts at times to keep a good attitude when the bottom falls out.

I’m not saying it will always be easy. I’m not saying there won’t be a price to pay.
But now is the time to begin to focus on your life, you are never too old, nor too young.
Go for it! Go for that change of consciousness. Practice positive thoughts over and over again and again. They will develop into habits. Good habits.

I’m not out to make anyone feel queasy about their past! All of us have done things we raise an eyebrow over. (Boy can I give you a list!) But God has given us tools to help us accomplish our attempt at getting a grip. 2 Timothy 7, “God has not given us fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

This simply means You and I have the ability to override our emotional and physical feelings. We have the God given ability to take charge of our lives, but, discipline of thought and self control must be claimed, they must be exercised.

Do you want to just dream or do you wish to experience your dreams?

Just what is the value of your life journey, Live A Life That Matters or http://susie1114.com/LiveALife.html


But how would you know what to change? Change can only come from within ourselves and as we change we view others with a pure heart and recognize everyone is doing the very best they can.

As any Kabbalist will tell you, find the behaviors you think are "impossible" to change, and you'll have your answer.

When we talk to people, we want to talk to their souls, not their reactions. By the same token, addiction (or any dysfunctional behavior) is also a reaction. If we wish to uproot it permanently, we must look beneath it to the cause level - lack.

We must find the lack we are trying to fill.

This week, we have the support of the cosmos to look beyond our behaviors and into the emptiness that fuels them.

A great exercise to get you started is listing the things that are hardest for you to change. Once you do, find moments throughout the week to sit with your list and think:

What is really making me act this way?

What lack is the behavior trying to fill?

When we open our hearts to God and open spaces within, spirit has room to move within our lives and create even greater opportunities than we ever imagine.
