JESUS LIVES 11







Here are some more wonderful things I have
received to Praise His Name!!! Hope I
continue to receive more to add to these pages!!



ARE YOU A SOLDIER???

I am a soldier in the army of my God. The  
Lord Jesus Christ is my commanding officer.
The Holy Bible is my code of conduct. Faith,
prayer, and the Word are my weapons of warfare.

I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by
experience, tried by adversity and tested by fire.

I am a volunteer in this army, and I am enlisted
for eternity. I will either retire in this army
at the rapture or die in this army; but I will not
get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out.
I am faithful, reliable, capable and dependable.

If my God needs me, I am there. If He needs me
in the Sunday school, to teach the children, work
with the youth, help adults or just sit and learn.
He can use me because I am there!

I am a soldier. I am not a baby. I do not need to
be pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, picked
up or pepped up.

I am a soldier. No one has to call me, remind me,
write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me.

I am a soldier. I am not a wimp. I am in place,
saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising
His name, and building His kingdom! No one has to
send me flowers, gifts, food, cards, candy or give
me handouts. I do not need to be cuddled, cradled,
cared for, or catered to.

I am committed. I cannot have my feelings hurt bad
enough to turn me around. I cannot be discouraged
enough to turn me aside. I cannot lose enough to
cause me to quit. When Jesus called me into this
army,I had nothing. If I end up with nothing, I
will still come out ahead.

I will win. My God has and will continue to supply
all of my need. I am more than a conqueror. I will
always triumph. I can do all things through Christ.
Devils cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion
me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop
me. Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me.
Governments cannot silence me and hell cannot
handle me.

I am a soldier. Even death cannot destroy me. For
when my commander calls me from this battlefield,
He will promote me to Captain and then allow me
to rule with Him.

I am a soldier in the army, and I'm marching
claiming victory. I will not give up. I will not
turn around.

I am a soldier, marching heaven bound. Here I
stand! Will you stand with me? Guess what? If
you've accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and
been baptized for the remission of your sins,
you're already enlisted!

Question is, which part of the service are you in:

1. Active Duty: Serving the Lord faithfully, daily,
and on duty 24-7?

2. Reserve status: Serving only when called upon
or twice a year:  Christmas and Easter?

3. Guard status: Backing up the Active Duty group? or

4. AWOL! Absent with out the Lord?

THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep looking up to God and Know He is truly and
always looking down at you!!!
Take A Blessing!!!!!!!!!!!

This was sent to me and I'm believing God in
this. Prayer can and will change things. Let's
keep on praying for each other.

HE TOUCHED ME

When no one else seemed to care
HE TOUCHED ME!

When I was all alone and lost
HE TOUCHED ME!

When I was crying tears of pain
HE TOUCHED ME!

The times when I was so confused
HE TOUCHED ME!

When all I wanted to do was die
HE TOUCHED ME!

When I was told no one loved me
HE TOUCHED ME!

Now I know someone does care because
HE TOUCHED ME!

No more am I lost or alone just because
HE TOUCHED ME!

Now all the pain and tears are gone because
HE TOUCHED ME!

Confusion is no longer my worry because
HE TOUCHED ME!

No longer do I want to die but live all because
HE TOUCHED ME!

I know I am loved and will always be because
HE TOUCHED ME!

I now can share all this with you just because
HE TOUCHED ME!

GOD'S VOICE MAIL SYSTEM

We have all learned to live with "voice mail"
as a necessary part of modern life. But, have you
wondered, what if God decided to install voice mail?

Imagine praying and hearing this:
Thank you for calling My Father's House. Please
select one of the following options:

Press 1 for Requests
Press 2 for Thanksgiving
Press 3 for Complaints
Press 4 for All Other Inquiries.

What if God used the familiar excuse..."I'm
sorry, all of our angels are busy helping other
sinners right now. However, your prayer is
important to us and will be answered in the order
it was received, so please stay on the line"

Can you imagine getting these responses as you
call God in Prayer: If you would like to speak to:

- Gabriel, Press 1

- Michael, Press 2

- For a directory of other angels, Press 3

- If you'd like to hear King David sing a psalm
while you are holding, please press 4.

- To find out if a loved one has been assigned
to Heaven, Press 5, enter his or her social
security number, then press the pound key. (If
you get a negative response, try area code 666.)

For reservations at "My Father's House" please
enter J-O-H-N, followed by 3-1-6.

For answers to nagging questions about dinosaurs,
the age of the earth and where Noah's Ark is,
please wait until you arrive here.

Our computers show that you have already prayed
once today. Please hang up and try again tomorrow.

This office is closed for the weekend to observe
a religious holiday. Please pray again Monday
after 9:30am.

If you need emergency assistance when this office
is closed, contact your local pastor.

THANK GOD HE DOESN'T HAVE VOICE MAIL
AND HE LISTENS WHEN WE PRAY!!!

EXPLAINING GOD

One of God's main jobs is making people. He
makes them to replace the ones that die so
there will be enough people to take care of
things on earth. He doesn't make grown-ups,
just babies. I think because they are smaller
and easier to make. That way, He doesn't have to
take up His valuable time teaching them to talk
and walk, he can just leave that to mothers and
fathers. God's second most important job is
listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes
on, since some people, like preachers and things,
pray at times besides bedtime. God doesn't have
time to listen to the radio or TV because of
this. Because He hears everything there must be
a terrible lot of noise in His ears unless He
has thought of a way to turn it off.

God sees everything and hears everything and is
everywhere which keeps him pretty busy. So you
shouldn't go wasting His time by going over your
Mom and Dad's head asking for something they
said you couldn't have.

   Atheists are people who don't believe in God.
I don't think there are any in Chula Vista. At
least there aren't any who come to our church.
  
Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard
work like walking on water and performing
miracles and trying to teach the people who
didn't want to learn about God.

   They finally got tired of Him preaching to
them and they crucified Him. But He was good
and kind of like His Father and He told His
Father that they didn't know what they were
doing and to forgive them and God said OK.
His Dad (God) appreciated everything that He
had done and all His hard work on earth so He
told Him He didn't have to go out on the road
anymore, He could stay in heaven. So He did.
And now He helps His Dad out by listening to
prayers and seeing things which are important
for God to take care of and which ones He can
take care of Himself without having to bother
God. Like a secretary only more important. You
can pray anytime you want and they are sure to
hear you because they got it worked out so one
of them is on duty all the time.

   You should always go to Church on Sunday
because it makes God happy and if there's
anybody you want to make happy, it's God.
Don't skip church to do something you think
will be more fun like going to the beach.
This is wrong! And, besides, the sun doesn't
come out at the beach until noon anyway. If
you don't believe in God, besides being
an atheist, you will be very lonely, because
your parents can't go everywhere with you, like
to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's
around you when you're scared in the dark or when
you can't swim very good and you get thrown into
real deep water by big kids. But you shouldn't
just always think of what God can do for you.

   I figure God put me here and He can take me
back anytime He pleases.

And that's why I believe in God.

assignment to "Explain God."






THE MASTER'S KEY

Life is a book,
With chapters of three:
The past; the present;
and the yet to be.
The first has been read,
And is laid away,
The second we are reading,
Day by day.
The third and last,
Of the chapters three,
Is hidden from sight,
Only God has the key.

THE LORD'S PRAYER

I cannot pray "OUR," if my faith has no room
for others and their need.

my interests and pursuits are in earthly things.

unwilling to accept God's rule in my life.

unwilling or resentful of having it in my life.

   I cannot pray "IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN,"
unless I am truly ready to give myself to God's
service here and now.

I cannot pray   "GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY
BREAD," without expending honest effort for
it or if I would withhold from my neighbor

MY will, but THY will be done, so let it be.

"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions,
as the heathen do: for they think that they
shall be heard for their much speaking. Be
not ye therefore like unto them: for your
heavenly Father knoweth what things ye have
need of before ye ask Him.      
Matthew 6:7-8

IMPORTANT RECALL!!

The maker of all human beings is recalling
all units manufactured, regardless of make
or year, due to the serious defect in the
primary and central component, or heart.
This is due to a malfunction in the original
prototype units, resulting in the reproduction
of the same defect in all subsequent units.  
This defect has been technically termed,
"Subsequential Internal Non-morality," or more
commonly known as S-I-N, as it is primarily
symphonized by loss of moral judgment. Some
other symptoms are:
(a) Loss of direction
(b) Foul vocal emissions
(c) Amnesia of origin
(d) Lack of peace and joy
(e) Selfish, or violent, behavior
(f) Depression or confusion in the mental component     
The manufacturer, who is neither liable or
at fault for this defect, is providing factory
authorized repair and service, free of charge,
to correct this S-I-N defect, at numerous
locations throughout the world. The number to
call for the recall station in your area is:
J-E-S-U-S WARNING: Continuing to operate the
human unit without correction voids manufacturer's
warranty, exposing owner to dangers and problems
too numerous to list, and will result in the human
unit being permanently impounded.

Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life"
BELIEVE IT!

JUST SUPPOSE

JUST SUPPOSE that at every ball game, graduation,
prom, etc., someone who has had enough of stupid,
anti-historical court decisions had the guts to
start reciting the Lord's Prayer loudly, and others
joined in, then more, until hundreds participated.

     And JUST SUPPOSE this spread all over our land
until this became standard practice in hundreds
of schools-then thousands--then tens of thousands.
Just what would the local school boards do? Expel
half the student body? (They need their jobs and
federal funding far too much to do that.) What
would a Federal district court do? Order hundreds
of nonviolent, decent minors jailed? Or thousands?
Just what would the Supreme Court do about it-
issue more edicts? What if millions decided
the Supreme Court was out of it's league
and said "So what?"

     JUST SUPPOSE hundreds of brave school board
members, local judges, prosecutors, and others,
each in their own area of authority, refused
to intervene, realizing that we have already
tried it the other way, and the result was a
modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah of immorality
and senseless violence.     

JUST SUPPOSE this then spread next into classroom
after classroom, and either a brave student or a
brave teacher started the Lord's Prayer (or Psalm
100, or a Bible reading, etc.) each morning, until
hundreds of thousands stood up and did their part
and stopped cowering before the destructive, God-     
hating secular attitudes of the pagan minority who
parrot the media line.

     JUST SUPPOSE every God-fearing Christian
participated--peacefully, nonviolently, but
firmly and continually. Where would they get
enough jails to hold us all? How would they
prosecute hundreds of thousands? It is far more
than the government can do to even stop the flow
of illegal drugs, despite their best efforts, and
overcrowded jails. Hardened criminals walk after
doing only half of their sentence to ease jail
crowding. Even if they try to pick on a handful
to make examples of them, what if hundreds of
thousands stood up to the tyranny of the minority
and demanded their freedom of religion back?
They can't build enough jails or courts to begin
to deal with such a movement. During the Civil
Rights battles of the 60's, some of the black
people decided they had had enough and stood up
to the system--a few dozen here, a few hundred
there--and eventually the whole country heard,
and repented, and changed. Racial repression was
and evil whose time was over. But now, there is
another battle--and the stakes are even higher.
The future of all children, white, black, and
otherwise, is at stake. No other country on earth
allows a tiny minority of impractical anti-
religious bigots to censor their people's right
to free religious expression. Even Russian public
schools show videos of the life and teachings of
Jesus now. We tend to get exactly the kind of
government we deserve. If you make a time line
or a graph, you will see that the exponential
increase in public school violence, pregnancy,
and foul language all started at exactly the
time the Supreme Court threw prayer and Bible
reading out of the schools. We told God we didn't
need Him, and the results speak for themselves.

     JUST SUPPOSE hundreds of Christians
passed this message on to all their
friends, leaders, and contacts.

     JUST SUPPOSE hundreds of churches,
organizations and ministries passed this message
on to their constituencies with a request to
reprint, repost, and repeat it wherever possible.
Once upon a time the Church was the moral
conscience and spiritual lighthouse of the nation.
Now, most congregations are impotent, pusillanimous
minor-league social welfare agencies or mutual
comfort societies with no impact on the world
around their little enclave.

JUST SUPPOSE ---- What do you
suppose you should do?

     YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE
HOLDS, BUT KNOWING WHO HOLDS THE
FUTURE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!!!
