  1. To all those "geeks" out there that are trying to make me more geeky, I have decided that it would be a good idea to have a topis just for homework...

    Maybe if we keep it all in here, it will be less confusing for the worthy family.. :)

    So....

    Lets get started ay :thumbsup:

  2. A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:

    'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.'

    He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

    'She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion.

    Well, I guess this is it.

    He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died.

    He turned to me and said:

    'Never save something for a special occasion.

    Every day in your life is a special occasion'.

    I still think those words changed my life.

    Now I read more and clean less.

    I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.

    I spend more time with my family, and less at work.

    I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through.

    I no longer keep anything.

    I use crystal glasses every day...

    I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it.

    I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to.

    The words 'Someday....' and ' One Day...' are fading away from my dictionary.

    ;

    If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now.....

    I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.

    I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.

    She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels.

    I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food.

    It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come..

    Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

    Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one..

    If you got this, it's because someone cares for you and because, probably, there's someone you care about.

    If you're too busy to send this out to other people and you say to yourself that you will send it

    'One of these days' , remember that 'One day' is far away... or might never come......

  8. "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body," (1 Cor. 6:19-20).

    Introduction

    1.This is a body conscious world.

    A.Many products to clean up, paint up, and fix-up.

    i.Great concern about physical shape.

    a.Diets abound: low fat this, low fat that. Diet pills.

    b.Exercise clubs, exercise machines, etc.

    B.Great concern about physical health.

    i.Watch that cholesterol, reduce that salt, eat more roughage.

    ii.The Christian adds another dimension to concern for the body.

    a.The day you became a Christian, something happened to your body. Another dimension was added to your being.

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

    1.Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

    A."Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?"

    B.This reminds us of the temple in the O.T.

    i.What great care was given to its design.

    ii.What immense wealth was placed into its construction.

    a."Then King David said to the whole assembly: My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man but for the LORD God. 2With all my resources I have provided for the temple of my God -- gold for the gold work, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, and all kinds of fine stone and marble -- all of these in large quantities. 3Besides, in my devotion to the temple of my God I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God, over and above everything I have provided for this holy temple: 4three thousand talents of gold (gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the buildings, 5for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who is willing to consecrate himself today to the LORD?" (1 Chr. 29:1-5).

    iii.The people were to know that God dwelt there. That is why it was furnished with such greatness: because it was to be the house of God.

    C.Note the day of dedication of Solomon's temple (2 Chron. 7:1-3 and 12-15).

    i.2 Chronicles 7:1-3 "When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple. The priests could not enter the temple of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled it. When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, "He is good; his love endures forever."

    D.But there is no such place in the age of grace.

    i.This building we are in is not God's temple.

    a.This building is not even a church, just the place the church meets.

    E.The eternal covenant, God's desire to fellowship with His creation, the walk in the garden, Exodus 25:8, John 1:14, 1 Cor. 1:9.

    i.THE CROSS

    ii."Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him" (John 14:23).

    iii.Your body is the temple of God.

    a.Be careful where it goes.

    b.Be careful what it does.

    c.Be careful what it ponders.

    d.Be careful how it reacts.

    2.The Holy Spirit lives within you.

    A."Who is in you"

    i.A person is in you.

    B.How can that be?

    i.We are not sure. It is a mystery.

    C.See how clearly the Bible bears this truth.

    i.Jesus makes the promise (John 14:15-26)

    a."If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever -- 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you" (John 14:15-17).

    ii.The Book of Acts describes it (Acts 2:1-4; 4:31).

    a."After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly" (Acts 4:31).

    iii.The epistles explain it (Rom. 8:6-17; Gal. 3:1-5; Eph. 5:18-25).

    a."And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you" (Romans 8:11).

    D.The result: The Holy Spirit is with you where ever you go and whatever you do.

    i.His power is available when you need it. The Scriptures are full of references to the Spirit and power.

    a.Judges 14:19 "Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him in power..."

    b.1 Samuel 10:6 "The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person."

    c.Micah 3:8 "But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin."

    d.Luke 4:14 "Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside."

    e.Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

    f.Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

    g.Ephesians 3:16 "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being."

    E.With the Spirit indwelling you, every word, every thought, and every deed is in His view.

    i.The Holy Spirit knows you. He knows your strengths and your weaknesses.

    ii.He knows your sinful acts and your holy deeds.

    iii.He knows you better than you do.

    3.The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to build you up in the body of Christ to the glory of God.

    A.He regenerates (John 3:3-5).

    B.He indwells (Rom. 8:11).

    C.He anoints (1 John 2:27).

    D.He baptizes (Acts 2:17-41).

    E.He empowers (Micah 3:8).

    F.He sanctifies (Rom. 15:16).

    G.He comforts (John 14:16-26).

    H.He gives joy (Rom. 14:17).

    I.He gives discernment (1 Cor. 2:10-16).

    J.He bears fruit (Gal. 5:22-23).

    K.He gives gifts 1 Cor. 12:3-11).

    Conclusion

    Surrender your body to the Lord.

    Glorify God in you daily life

  13. Holy God, we praise Thy Name;

    Lord of all, we bow before Thee!

    All on earth Thy scepter claim,

    All in Heaven above adore Thee;

    Infinite Thy vast domain,

    Everlasting is Thy reign.

    Hark! the loud celestial hymn

    Angel choirs above are raising,

    Cherubim and seraphim,

    In unceasing chorus praising;

    Fill the heavens with sweet accord:

    Holy, holy, holy, Lord.

    Lo! the apostolic train

    Join the sacred Name to hallow;

    Prophets swell the loud refrain,

    And the white robed martyrs follow;

    And from morn to set of sun,

    Through the Church the song goes on.

    Holy Father, Holy Son,

    Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee;

    While in essence only One,

    Undivided God we claim Thee;

    And adoring bend the knee,

    While we own the mystery.

    Thou art King of glory, Christ:

    Son of God, yet born of Mary;

    For us sinners sacrificed,

    And to death a tributary:

    First to break the bars of death,

    Thou has opened Heaven to faith.

    From Thy high celestial home,

    Judge of all, again returning,

    We believe that Thou shalt come

    In the dreaded doomsday morning;

    When Thy voice shall shake the earth,

    And the startled dead come forth.

    Therefore do we pray Thee, Lord:

    Help Thy servants whom, redeeming

    By Thy precious blood out-poured,

    Thou hast saved from Satan

  14. Latley all I have been doing is feeling sad.

    Eznih, sorry to hear you feel like that. Is there something you would like prayer with? Do you know the Lord?

    God bless,

    Candice

    Eznih,

    I am not sure what is happening for you, or why you are feeling sad. But you are in my prayers, and I want you to know that God knows what you are going through and He loves you no matter what.

    If you need to talk feel free to send me a personal message and I'll be more than happy to talk with you and pray and encourage you.

    Bless you

  15. I tilt back my head,face to the heavens,

    open mouth,open eyes,open skies.

    Coolness runs down my neck,wets my chest.

    I blink as droplets find my eyes

    and I wonder,I wonder.

    Through the clouds someone sees me.

    What is He thinking today,

    will He wet me with His grace?

    I tilt back my head,face to the Heavens

    and I pray for rain.

    ~david 2010~

    Psa 72:6 He shall descend like rain on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.

    I really like that.. Its so calming and in a way joyful, knowing that He is looking down on us, and is loving us everyday of our lives... Its amazing

  16. Steph that's so exciting! :emot-highfive:

    Lord I pray You would do a work in this person's heart, and give them a revelation of Christ Jesus. Draw them to Yourself, and use Steph to continue to water those planted seeds. Amen.

    THANKS FOR THAT PRAYER
