SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said,
"We can't keep Christians from going to church."

"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and
knowing the truth."

"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate
relationship with
their saviour."

"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our
power over them is
broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have
their covered dish
dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have
time to develop a
relationship with Jesus Christ.."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour
and maintaining that
vital connection throughout their day!"

"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and
invent innumerable
schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow,
borrow, borrow."

"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours
and the husbands to
work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so
they can afford their
empty lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their
children."

"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will
offer no escape
from the pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot
hear that still, small
voice."

"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player
whenever they drive."
To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going
constantly in their home
and see to it that every store and restaurant in the
world plays
non-biblical music constantly."

"This will jam their minds and break that union with
Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and
newspapers."

"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."

"Invade their driving moments with billboards."

"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order
catalogs,
sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and
promotional offering free products,
services and false hopes.."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines
and TV so their
husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's
important, and they'll
become dissatisfied with their wives. "

"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at
night."

"Give them headaches too! "

"If they don't give their husbands the love they
need, they will begin
to look elsewhere."

"That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from
teaching their children
the real meaning of Christmas."

"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk
about his resurrection
and power over sin and death."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."

"Have them return from their recreation
exhausted."

"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and
reflect on God's creation.
Send them to amusement parks, sporting events,
plays, concerts, and
movies instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship,
involve them in gossip
and small talk so that they leave with troubled
consciences."

"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they
have no time to seek
power from Jesus."

"Soon they will be working in their own strength,
sacrificing their
health and family for the good of the cause."

"It will work!"

"It will work!"

It was quite a plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments
causing Christians
everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going
here and there.

Having little time for their God or their families.

Having no time to tell others about the power of
Jesus to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been
successful in his schemes?

You be the judge!!!!!

Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-
oke?

Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!

I don't think I know 10 people who would admit
they love Jesus.

Do You Love Him?

IF YOU LOVE JESUS, PASS THIS ON!!!!!!!

Its Not About Being a Good Christian by John Fischer Heres one of the greatest things about being a Christian: You can accept yourself for who you are. Heres one of the most tragic things about being a Christian: You can be one for a long time without knowing this. I was. I was what you might call a model Christian. I filled the bill. Any church or Christian school would have seen me as a poster child Christian. There was only one problem: I thought I was, too when all the while I knew I wasnt. I knew it was all pretty much a game. All this was back when I thought a Christian was all about being a good person someone who would rank high in relative goodness when compared to others more spiritually challenged. This was before I realized that Christ died to save sinners, and to qualify for the free gift of salvation you have to realize you are desperately in need of being saved. You are drowning. You are dying. As a sinner, you are among the worst. Once you make being good the criteria for being a Christian, you of necessity become the judge of others, because you have to judge others in order to remain good in you own eyes. So if you have not come to this, (i.e. you are still pretty good in your own eyes), and you preach the gospel (many do, from this perspective), it becomes a gospel for other people not for you. And something doesnt ring true. You also remain aloof to just about everybody because you cant really know anyone for fear they might come to know you and find out your secret, that you really are a scoundrel like everybody else. Its a lonely life. Believe me. Its much better to be a sinner whom Jesus Christ loves and for whom He died so you can spread the good news about Him to other sinners like you. Then you have nothing to hide, and only Christ and a lot of friends to gain by telling the truth. Ive been thinking a lot about Billy Graham lately and I think this is one of the things that made him such a good evangelist. When he preached about the gospel, he never excluded himself from needing it. He knew the gospel wouldnt preach if it were not, first and foremost, for him. Which brings us back to being a Christian and accepting yourself as who you are. Thats why Paul says in 2 Corinthians 3:18 that we all have unveiled faces. We have nothing to hide because we are reflecting the face of Christ whom we worship in continual gratitude for our salvation. Thank goodness. I never liked being a good Christian anyway. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lords glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18

SPLASHES OF GRACE

(Note: This is a letter that one of AllWorship's
readers wrote to a close friend who was going
through a very difficult time.)

My dear friend,

How are you, sweetie? I wanted to share an
adventure with you that the girls and I had last
week.


We were walking down by the water in the gully
behind our house, when suddenly, a doe came
crashing through the woods, headed directly
towards us! It was so wild! She came to a
skidding stop on her knees, right into a rotten

tree stump that was directly in front of me.

I could have reached out and touched her! She fell
over on her side, jumped to her feet and ran off in
the opposite direction. It was hard to tell who was
more startled - the doe, or us!

Pretty awesome, huh? I felt like it was a gift from
God, the experience as well as not getting
slammed by a terrified, frantic 100-pound deer! I
call these kinds of experiences "splashes of
grace", because they are evidence to me of God's
love and grace towards me, and they come
unexpectedly, usually at times when I really need
them. I have learned to keep my eyes open for
them. They are easy to miss.

But in really hard times, when these "splashes"
happen, they provide moments of joy and wonder,
and when we are in pain all the time, even a few
minutes of happiness can make the difference
between making it and not!

For a second, while the deer is crashing towards
me or the pansy petals are soft against my face or
the brilliant red cardinal is lighting up my dull winter
backyard or the chocolate is melting in my mouth
or the smell of patchouli is steaming up from my
bath...for a second I am not the hurting one, the
sick one, the broken, wounded one...for a second, I
am simply a beloved child of God receiving a
splash of His love, meant especially for me.

I know that you are hurting badly, and I cannot
imagine what turmoil and pain you are going
through. I am praying that you will receive
splashes of grace to equal your need, that God will
provide moments of wonder just for you, to remind
you of your true and eternal identity.

There is no question that, for now, you are broken
and wounded. But that part of who you are is a
layer, not the whole thing, and it will be peeled off
in time, to reveal who you have always been, and
still are and always will be...a beloved child of God,
the daughter of the King, a citizen of Heaven,
spotless and pure before the throne of your Father,
God.

Splashes of grace poke through the layer of pain to
reveal who you really are. Who you are when you
are staring in awe at the prettiest flower you ever
saw, or tasting the best cheesecake in existence,
or melting under the butterfly kisses of a
toddler...that's who you are. Splashes of grace
help us remember, when the pain has stolen all
memory of better days. They are God's way of
bringing us to ourselves, when we think that we'll
never be anything other than broken and crushed.
And most importantly, they are God's way of
bringing us to Himself.

In days when most of our contact with Him
consists of anguished questions and agonizingly
desperate pleas for help, splashes of grace are
God's way of scooping us into His arms and
saying "Look, daughter...do you see it? A
butterfly, just for you! Isn't it lovely? Look at it's
wings. Aren't they soft? Amazing, isn't it?"

Splashes of grace are you and God looking out on
the wonder of creation for a moment, in a way that
allows you both to respond to what you are seeing
freely, unhampered by the struggle that you are in.
It may only last a moment. But what a moment!

Dearest friend, look for them. Maybe you already
have been. In the darkest place, God is. And
where God is, splashes of grace happen. I love
you, precious child of the King.

--Kelly Stevenson

# 8 - THE BIG SHOT

8's are the problem solvers. They are
professional, blunt and to the point, have good
judgment and are decisive. They
have grand plans and like to live
the good life. They take charge of people.
They view people objectively.
They let you know in no uncertain terms that
they are the boss. They should
learn to exude their decisions on their own
needs rather than on what others want.

Famous 8's: Edgar Cayce, Barbra Streisand,
George Harrison, Jane Fonda,
Pablo Picasso, Aretha Franklin, Nostradamus

the day was soooo fine.... so good...

I was so excited to attend the training yesterday...yeah! my excitement was satisfied... I was satisfied with the talks of the different significant persons in the country... And it even surpassed my satisfaction!

There was plenty a crowd that attended the seminar from different places in Calamba...and it's really worth it... the experience is worth it...

though Ms. Cheche Lazaro was not able to come, still the lessons I learned from the speakers were already enough...As Kuya Lester had said,"Ms. Cheche Lazaro missed the big crowd...she missed us...she missed the opportunity to talk to a big crowd like us... she missed the opportunity to speak in front of the 'future leaders'..."

Last June 21 was my birthday... but people texted and greeted me because I told them... I simply told them that they should greet me...but will they still bother to text me if I did not tell them to???

It's so hard to accept that people remembers you because you told them to...

 

Since some of my friends have their birthdays already, I couldn't stop myself from envying them... Some of them treats my other friends' birthdays as a very special day...that they even have to prepare something for them... BUT WHY NOT FOR ME?

Im so silly to still write it here... but there's no way I can let it go out of me... YEAH!im Envious!im really envious of them! Im so sorry if when you tell me to prepare something for someone, I did not bother at all, because IM ENVIOUS!

 

When a friend is having a birthday, they prepare a lot for the coming birthday...why did they not do it when it was my birthday?

 

I know I have no right to complain...coz Im really nothing to them...

 

I justhave to make my self happy... I can make mysaelf happy by making everyday a special day for me...

NASA BELIEVES IN GOD
 
 Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has
 been called "myth" in the Bible is true?  Mr. Harold Hill, President of
 the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore Maryland and a consultant in the
 space program, relates the following development.
 
 I think one of the most amazing things that God has for us today
 happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt,
 Maryland. They were checking the position of the sun, moon, and
 planets out in space where they would be 100 years and 1000 years from now.
 We have to know this so we won't send a satellite up and have it bump into
 something later on its orbits. We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life
 of the satellite, and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down.
 
 They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries
 and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which
 meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed into
 it or with the results as compared to the standards. They called in the
 service department to check it out and they said "what's wrong?"
 Well, they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time. They
 scratched their heads and tore their hair. There was no answer.
 
 Finally, a Christian man on the team said, "You know, one time I was
 in Sunday School and they talked about the sun standing still." While
 they didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said,
 "Show us." He got a Bible and went back to the book of Joshua where they
 found a pretty ridiculous statement for any one with "common sense."
 There they found the Lord saying to Joshua, "Fear them not, I have delivered
 them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee."
 Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy and
 if darkness fell hey would overpower them.  So Joshua asked the Lord to
 make the sun stand still! That's right- "The sun stood still and the moon
 stayed--and hastened not to go down about a whole day!" The astronauts
 and scientists said, "There is the missing day!"
 
 They checked the computers going back into the time it was written
 and found it was close but not close enough.  The elapsed time that was
 missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes-not a whole day.
 They read the Bible and there it was "about (approximately) a day" These
 little words in the Bible are important, but they were still in trouble
 because if you cannot account for 40 minutes you'll still be in trouble
 1,000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can be
 multiplied many times over in orbits.
 
As the Christian employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere
in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS.  The scientists told him
he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings:
 Hezekiah, on his deathbed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told
him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof.
Isaiah said "Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?"  Hezekiah said "It is
nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow return backward 10
 degrees.." Isaiah spoke to the Lord and the Lord brought the shadow
 ten degrees BACKWARD!
 
Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes!
 Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in
 Second Kings make the missing day in the universe!
 Isn't it amazing?  God is Truth!
 
 
 References:   Joshua 10:8 and 12,13
        2 Kings 20:9-11

 

 

 

THE ANT AND THE CONTACT LENSA true story byJosh and Karen ZarandonaBrenda was a young woman who was invited to go rock climbing. Although she was scared to death, she went with her group to a tremendous granite cliff. In spite of her
fear, she put on the gear, took a hold on the rope, and started up the face of that rock. Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breather. As she was hanging on there, the safety rope snapped against Brenda's eye and knocked out her contact lens.
 

Well, here she is on a rock ledge, with hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet above her. Of course, she looked and looked and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, but it just wasn't there. Now far from home on a ledge, her sight blurry, she was feeling desperate and began to get
upset. She prayed to the Lord to help her to find it. When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens to be found.
 

She sat down, despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the cliff. She looked out across range after range of mountains, thinking of that Bible verse that says, "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth." She thought, "Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me."
 

Finally, they walked down the trail to the bottom. At the bottom there was a new party climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, "Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?" Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant
was moving slowly across the face of the rock, carrying it!
 

Brenda told me that her father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a picture of an ant lugging that contact lens with the words, "Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You."
 

"God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called."
 

I know most of you may have already read this at some point, but I thought it was worth passing on today. There have been many times in my life where I've felt as if I
were carrying something and couldn't understand
why. That's usually when the "Why me's" kick in, and God always says "Why not?".
 

A different spin on the above: Today I also know that there is a difference between carrying and being carried. I've witnessed that enough. The loads we carry today are usually for each other and not just the life stuff that used to weigh us down. We carry loads for each other because we
care for and love each other. I also know that being carried is something that we learn and not something that comes naturally. At least not for me. In letting go of "self", we are all learning to let go of selfishness, self-seeking, self-will, and self-pity, and in time some of us learn to let go of self-reliance...once we can do that, we learn how to be carried.
