Friday 4/26/13 Praise Week 5

Dear Father in Heaven, Another beautiful day You have supplied us with, more food to eat and water to drink You have supplied us with, and our bodies were covered with clothes that You have supplied us with.  Thanks, dear Father, for supplying our needs and many of our wants.  You have supplied our needs, many of our wants, and thanks to You sending Your Son Jesus to us, You have also picked up the price of our sins.  Thanks, Father, I love You, and I give thanks to You for trusting us to do Your work.  Please watch over Burt and Patsy, please watch over those who were here for food this day.  Lord, thanks for a voice that we might sing for You.  Now, Lord, please furnish my brain with a message to write and please keep this line free of bugs.  In Jesus' Name I pray to You.  Amen.

Hi, brothers and sisters, it was and still is a beautiful day here at the Southern Location of the North Pole, where we are told the air is not fit to breathe.  Wow, I am glad someone told me, I have been breathing it for just about 72 years now.  For those in the Sierra Club who say our air is not fit to breathe, I invite you to NOT BREATHE IT!!  It is amazing tome how this club is complaining about the air not fit to breathe in Cumberland County, and how it is making most people sick.  Then it talks about 5 or 6 days over the past so many years.  Most I know who have trouble breathing have messed up their lungs smoking.  (I had to say it like it is, folks.)  Let me see, if we get rid of the trucks in this area and we get rid of some of the job places and we can clean the air up, then we can breathe, but with no work, people cannot buy food, so you can breathe well AS YOU STARVE TO DEATH.  Don't you just love it?  Brothers and sisters, trust in God, He will always tell you the truth.  Want an answer to something, look it up in your Bible.  Did I hear someone say AMEN?  Let me get on with the message ... Praise Week.

Praise Week 4/26/13 - Day Five.

Ephesians 5:15 - Be very careful, then, how you live, not as unwise by 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.  17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.  18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery.  Instead, be filled with the Spirit.  19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.  Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  (NIV)

This scripture was used today in Our Daily Bread.  I said to Dolores that this fits right into the message of this week about singing for the Lord and making music for Him and with Him and about Him.  The scripture tells us to be making the most of every opportunity, or in my words making the most of all we do.  In all we do, do it with Jesus in mind.  If you would not do it in front of Jesus, then do not do it, for if it cannot e done in front of Jesus then it must be evil.  Sort of like putting your Bible on the coffee table and laying your Playboy books on top of it.  Then if the Pastor stops by you must hurry to change things.  Hey, you might fool the pastor, but you just cannot fool our Lord Jesus, and when you try, you are only fooling yourself, or dare I say, making a fool of yourself.

This scripture goes on to say we are not to get drunk, but to be filled with the (Holy) Spirit.  We are to speak to one another.  Speak to one another, how about that?  We are also to sing hymns and spiritual songs, we are to sing and make music in our hearts to the Lord.

Now please note this and then I will get to some singing.  Please note this in Ephesians ...

Ephesians 5:20 - Always giving thanks to God The Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  (NIV)

Once again it tells me, if you want something to reach our Father in Heaven, it MUST GO THROUGH JESUS.  When I see people going out to pray, and just the other day I saw it, as a pastor gave a benediction at the Bush thing in Texas.  At the end, rather than offend anyone by saying In Jesus' Name, he just said AMEN.  Some will say In His Name, or Just Amen.  Please, please do not be afraid to say Jesus, please do not be afraid to say Jesus.  He die for us, we should be doing it like this ... THANK YOU, JESUS.  So let me get started right now with some singing and praising The Name of Jesus.

Jesus, Name above all names, beautiful Savior, glorious Lord.
Emmanuel,  God is with us.  Blessed Redeemer, Living Word.


Jesus, Name above all names, beautiful Savior, glorious Lord.

-------------------------

Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong; they are weak, but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me.  Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.  The Bible tells me so.


Yes, Jesus loves me.  Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.  The Bible tells me so.

-------------------------

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine.  Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song.  Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song.  Praising my savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, all is at rest.  I in my Savior am happy and blest.
Watching and waiting, looking above, filled with His goodness, lost in His love.


This is my story, this is my song.  Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song.  Praising my savior all the day long.

Come on, sing it out.


This is my story, this is my song.  Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song.  Praising my savior all the day long.


This is my story, this is my song.  Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song.  Praising my savior all the day long.

Have a wonderful weekend, and please keep on singing and sharing your blessings.  Love ya.  Pass it on.

Note:  I guess the President did not read my letter about stopping abortion.  Today he spoke to a group from Planned Parenthood, the NUMBER ONE abortion provider in the United States.  They abort over 350 thousand babies a year.  And note that they get funding from our government.  To me, and it is my opinion, this president supports the murder of God's children.  SHAME ON HIM.  Amen.
