no grapes

Please pray for Bob . He is going to mediation regarding
his divorce today at 2:00 pm. Pray that they will get this
settled and not have to go to trial. Pray for Bob that he
will have God’s grace and strength;
Lord’s will and guidance.

******************

We don't become discouraged, since God has given
us this ministry through his mercy. Instead,
we have refused to use secret and shameful ways.
We don't use tricks, and we don't distort God's word.
As God watches, we clearly reveal the truth to everyone.

LIE # 1
if you do it you will.....be as God.
you will get to decide what is good and what is evil.
....so is the world in a mess today ?...or what !!!
how about your personal world?
is everything HONKYDORY ?

if your answer is no....
how did you decide wether
things are good or not?

me personally?.....
I am going to stick with the word....
what word you may be asking...
well....whatever GOD said !!!

if GOD said don't do it...then I won't
if GOD said it is Good, then it is
it GOD said it is evil, then it is....

I never get to decide...and that is OK
whenever I start to decide...I am beleiving THE LIE...
I am making myself God....

COMMANDMENT # 1
you must have NO OTHER GOD

here are some DECLARATIONS to help you

1. every GOOD and perfect gift comes from GOD
2. all things work together for GOOD to them that love GOD
3. evil shall slay the wicked, and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate
4. the Lord redeemeth the soul of His servants and

NONE of them that trust in Him will be desolate.

FINALLY...my friend Malcom M said "

Ron you have to let GOD be GOD."

so...are all the bills paid on time this or any month?
did the kids turn out the way you thought they should?
are you being paid what you think you are worth?
do we have the right man in the oval office?
should you be taking vitamins or prescription stuff?
will the oil spill in the gulf ever get fixed?
are you feeling good about yourself?

does any of this really matter?

17Even if the fig tree does not bloom and the vines have no grapes, even if the olive tree fails to produce and the fields yield no food, even if the sheep pen is empty and the stalls have no cattle-
18even then, I will be happy with the LORD. I will truly find joy in God, who saves me.

8In every way we're troubled, but we aren't crushed by our troubles. We're frustrated, but we don't give up. 9We're persecuted, but we're not abandoned. We're captured, but we're not killed.
