Dear Father in Heaven: I love You very much. Please help me act like it! Thanks for the night's sleep and rest and thanks for waking me this morning and please help me use this day to serve You. Thanks for sending help our way yesterday. What a great day it was. Thanks for the ability to purchase food for the food pantry, and thanks for sending us lunch. Father in Heaven, thanks for watching over this line, and thanks for watching over the many ministries of Carry The Light Ministries. Thanks, Lord, for our flock at The Bridges and our online flock You have trusted to us. Please forgive me of my sins, Lord. Please, Lord, be with the Saylor family, the Emig family, please be with Deb Foulkroad and heal her kidneys. Be with Ruby, and Lord, touch Joni and Bill. Thanks again for all You do for us, and thanks for supplying our needs and many of our wants. Please, Lord, bring peace to Your world. Now, Lord, if You would please help me wit the message, and then, Lord, please help me to dispatch it, I sure would appreciate it. Oh, and Lord, please heal Dolores and if it is Your will, heal my knees. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Good morning, my dear brothers and sisters, from the Southern Location of the North Pole. I did not write a message since last Thursday, and the only reason I can give is God did not give me one. I think I have told you this before, but I write what the Lord gives me, nothing more, although sometimes it might be less. When God does not give me a message, I just cannot write. While we did other work for God since Thursday, He gave me time off from writing. Please keep praying for peace.
Tuesday: August 5, 2014, The Old Road Map (Day Eight)
Matthew 24:1 - Jesus left the temple and was walking away when His disciples came up to Him to call attention to its buildings. 2 "Do you see all these things?" He asked. "I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another, every one will be thrown down." 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. "Tell us," they said, "When will this happen and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?" 4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains." (NIV)
Brothers and sisters, I was looking in Genesis since Friday, looking over what happened next as the world had just been created by God. I was looking at Cain and Abel, but God led me from there. As I prayed about the message, I remember talking to someone just yesterday who did not understand just why the leaders in Israel would bomb a school and kill some children just to get back at terrorists. God talked to me about it, and I am going to try and tell you why this is happening.
First, let me tell you if you are truly a "Born Again" believer in Jesus then you need to understand that Israel is our homeland. This area where Humus is attacking is our Holy Land, the land where Jesus was born and died and where He walked. They, the Jewish Army, is fighting back. They did not start this fight, and in fact have wanted peace and to be able to just live in peace. When the sirens go off, they run to shelters. So I ask you, you are sitting in your home, or in a restaurant having your evening meal, and all of a sudden the sirens go off, you jump up and head to the shelters until the all clear rings. Would you want to live like that? Would you not want to fight back? Before you answer, look back at September 11, 2001. When we fought back. You need to know that Israel uses its missiles and weapons to protect its peoples to protect their missiles and weapons. So they hide their army in schools, hospitals, etc.
Our news people are not covering this very well. They just show you bodies of those killed in the schools. And brothers and sisters, the killing is not needed at all. Our Lord Jesus wants peace, but our Jewish brothers and sisters have the right to defend their country and their peoples. And our Bible, in the words of Jesus, tells us this is going to happen. And it has been happening for a long, long time. Jesus also tells us about people who will be starving, and that is going on right now and not just in other countries. Even when our country sends food, sometimes it does not get into the hands of who really needs it. That also goes on here in America. In fact, we see this "first hand" right here in Carry The Light Ministries Food Pantry. Most who come for food are very, very worthy of it. However, we do have people who come to get food who use "many" food banks and get food stamps, all the time either not working when they are healthy and could, and/or are "working under the table." We furnish food, and a lot of it, to those who ask and without many questions.
My heart cries and I am sure our Lord Jesus who sees all, is not happy about this or the waste of food. On our most recent food drive, just two weeks ago, we had to "trash" over 200 cans and/or boxes of food. These were out of date, some from 2007, and some, like peanut butter, were opened and half gone. When giving food to others, so you know, we at Carry The Light Ministries try our very best to give out only food "we would eat." And we try also t never give outdated food, with the exception of bread which we give out frozen. Please remember, and this will be for another day, when you give to others you are giving as to God. Give from the top, not from the bottom.
In closing today, I do want to suggest that to get your news and get both sides of it, watch the "Fox Cable News." Also, if you can get them, listen to Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. You will hear the truth! Also, you can read all about these things in "YOUR BIBLE." Right now Sean Hannity is in Israel and is broadcasting from there. Fox Cable News is at 10:00 PM, Channel 75 on Comcast and 618 on Verizon. Seeing both sides will open your eyes. Reading your Bible will open your eyes even more.
Now go forth and share your blessings. Love ya. Please pass on my love to others.
Pastor Dan
