SUNDAY- Now the second day of your w/e, and then it is back to work, or just Monday for some....now that I have put that in your mind,, so you can enjoy this day even more... remember this,, the rung of the ladder was never meant to rest upon,, but only to hold ones foot , just long enough to enable us to put the other one,, somewhat ,, higher! So, as this day goes and the next one comes, and you step,, remember ,, put your foot on the rung with the person who is going to supply you with the next rung to go higher... and not a missing rung that lets you fall back down to the bottom... o.k. (How many know what a rung is?)
Prayer Request: For all the sick and the ones with needs, and I ask all to say a prayer today for those that are sick, and in need, and let yourself rest for today.. for if we look, we find those in worst shape than us, so "today it is un-self-ish day"!
YOUR BUNGEE!
How many know what a "bungee cord" is? It is an elastic cord, wrapped in polyester to cover the elastic.. and it is used for many, many uses...and comes in different sizes,, length, and thickness... it can stretch and tie down a load on a truck or anything else,, it can wrap around an item around a post,, and hold it in place... or it can hold one when they jump off a tower or a bridge, of 100 feet or more... The one thing about a bungee cord,, it stretches to its' limit, then it recoils back to its' original length,, when new and first used,,
BUT,, as you use it,,,, it becomes weaker,, and loses some of its' re-coil..! It needs constant inspection.. and you must keep it in a dark container when not in use ,,, as sunlight can damage it... as the sun does to a lot of things,, like skin, hair, etc......
Now, I ask you this question.. as a Christian Bungee.... have you lost any of your stretch? Do you still re-coil at the sign of the devil, and return quickly to the Lord? or do you just , like an old bungee,, re-coil slowly,, like , I'm coming , just a little slower...? As we all get older, we do lose that re-coil a little at a time.. but ,you know the one thing we have that the old bungee does not,,, that as that person is jumping over that bridge with nothing but a rock bottom below.. we have , as Christians , those "helping hands", those that grab us ,, no matter the age,, and we don't have to worry about the natural re-coil,, we have the spiritual re_coil,,,, and it does not have to be stored in a dark place to hold its' strength,,, it can be shown out in the sunlight, the moonlight.. just anywhere you want to show it off... but you have to ask for these "bungee helping hands" , for if you don't ask,, bamn, right into those rocks.. ouch!!! Without the "bungee helping hands" ,, I am afraid there is no other way to stop this crash and bamn,,, so why not ask for this now,, you do know the brand name,,,, don't you? Well it is
JESUS CHRIST, THE BUNGEE OF ETERNAL STRETCH, AND HOLDING POWER,,RE-COIL GUARANTEED! ORDER NOW, BY CHOICE!
God, thank You for your Son who comes in all ways to our eyes and minds, and my prayer today is not only thanks, but that all will come.. amen
John HIcks
If I ever jump at anything in this life,, no matter how high or low it is,, I will be wearing my Jesus Bungee,, How about you,, the choice is yours.. don't hit the rocks.. o.k. make it now,, before the jump!

YES , I AM A WARRIOR!
Thoughts For Today-Wednesday-07/27/11
WEDNESDAY- "Hump Day"! Have you ever seen a camels back? There are two kinds, the one, with one hump, and then there is the one with two humps... so when you plan this day of sliding to your week-end, make sure you slide with a 'force' that doesn't leave you in 'the valley of the two humps'.. the only "force" that is guaranteed to get you over all "the humps of life",, is ,,,you guessed it,, Jesus Christ,,, you did guess Him? ,, didn't you?
Report on little Joseph
They say his cancer is multiple glyoma (don't know how it's spelled)
which is a cancer normally related to adults.They said incidences of recurrence are high.
The worst news is they said with radiation and chemo the chances of living 2 years is 10 percent.
Jon said and I agree that we will just have to rely on God performing a miracle. When it reaches the point that
all human effort is not enough then we must depend on Him.Please help us pray for a miracle.
YES, I AM A WARRIOR!
Man , has been from time , a fighter, a defender of home, and territory! They have been fierce warriors,,and now in this day and time, women have come into their own,, and they are fierce warriors also. In every tribe, there are the aggressive, the medium, and the ones that stand behind the rock, rather than on top of the rock guarding their own.. Usually this works.. until you get the fierce of all warriors,, and he sets himself up as the leader of multiple tribes.. and he is feared by all... he has no mercy, he kills, and sometimes, he kills and manes people ,just for the fun of it.. He will lead his follows into battle ,, as he stands upon the rock, very high, and very far off,,, in safety,,, while he sends others to their death... then
YOUR HAVE THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR! Not the fiercest of warriors,, but one that is so strong, no one really challenges him,, he is just himself,,he is kind, he shares, he loves, and is loved,, people will go to their death for this one,, without prodding of the end of a spear to push them to the edge, they will openly volunteer to defend the edge of the cliff at the risk of falling over the edge.. these are also "true warriors", for they have chosen the way that is the "right way",, not the way of aggression of hurt to their fellow man.
Now, in these times, we have four types of modern warriors.. the Military, the Non-believer, the Sunday, and the All-time God Warrior...
The Military Warrior, is the one who defends our nation against the enemy who has sworn to kill all believers in God, and Son,,,, and wears the ARMOR OF GOD,, WITHIN THEIR UNIFORM, and when that solider stands , God and Son , stands with each of them.
The Non-believer , is the one whom satan is inside of,, those who have not reached out to Jesus, satan trying to destroy YOU! and the nation, but his real intent is YOU , AND YOUR SOUL...
The Sunday Warrior, is the one who puts on his "warriors suit" and goes to battle for one day, and then hangs it in the closet until the next Sunday,, for the other six days,, it may get in the way of his success, so he does not testify , and only calls out to Jesus from Monday through Saturday, if an emergency arrives!
The "All-time God Warrior", is the one who is the non-military warrior,, who first, asks Jesus to join him on a daily basis, then after that , he does not have to go to the closet for his warriors suit, he has just dressed himself with an all time suit of armor, and wears it DAILY! No man, nor satan, can penetrate,,, cannot destroy this armor, it is good and whole , forever.. for this armor is spear proof,,, of sin, wrong doing, and no matter even if death comes, the person who wears this armor ,,, lives... and this warrior,, tells all he sees and comes in contact with, that he is a warrior of Jesus Christ , the Son he Son of the Living God!!!
so I ask you today, which armor will you wear?
God Almighty, I pray that there are more in this nation with the "armor" of Jesus wrapped about them , and are testifying of Your greatness, than the ones who hang You in the closet, or runs with the devil .. I pray that you help us, to be the example, and wear our armor well and testify to these who do not. amen
John HIcks
Come "God Warriors" now! Fight satan, before it it too late to fight.. for the scorn of our God is great and these great sins of our world cannot continue to go unchecked.. so now is the time to make a stand, and make it with stamina!

I RAN , AND I RAN, BREATHLESS!
Tuesday- Today as you walk down the road you have chosen today , to walk down,, stretch your arm out, open your hand, grab the hand that extends back to you and take Him with you, on all the roads you take today, and every day, and be proud of who you have with you, and do some bragging to others, of just who He is!
I RAN, AND I RAN, BREATHLESS!
My life , I was running, from the first days of my accountability,,, it was as if I was about to just run out of my shoes.. yes we did have shoes ,, well in the winter and on Sundays, ha! Back to the serious side,,, It was as if the road I was on, just had no end.. or I could not see it! I was doing things, that was not exactly the "things" one should do.. nothing really down right bad, but not really good either,, just things, that made you run from them,,, never having the real ability to enjoy anything ,, really enjoy.... I just could not imagine, why do I walk beside some of these boys and girls,, but it is as if I am running,, so fast,, why can't when we are talking , relax,, look up or around? Just could not figure this out.. It was as if I didn't have the control of my life!Wow, was I ever tired, but the guy with me,, well he seemed to be making it fine,, taking short , easy breaths, smiling, but you know ,,, he was the funniest looking guy that ran around with us... he kinda was deformed, for he had little knots on his forehead,,, his hands did not completely form all the way,, as if he had only two fingers, like hooves.. and it almost looked like he had a tail tucked in his pants.. but he was the leader,, and what he asked of us, we did,, just boys,, doing and laughing, with this ole leader of the pack.. then it happened...
I was standing up behind the sixth bench in the church, when I heard a cry from a man, with sweat running down his face, on his white shirt, his tie opened, he was standing in front of the pulpit,, with a Bible in his hands, looking up into the Heavens,,and then he said,, as he turned and was looking right at me,, " If you are tired and weary, come, come on down , accept this Jesus Christ,, and you will become whole, you will be able to "walk" with your head high, and you will fill good and no guilt,, come on down...let Him lift the burdens of life , off of your shoulders...stop running!".
Well , I almost tore the top of that bench right off, for I gripped it with all my strength, and yes that leader of the pack was right there , beside me,, holding on to me for dear life.. saying , don't go, for we will go for a "fun run" when we get out of here, don't go.. don't leave me. for I will give you anything you want.. I turned and said can I just walk,just this once,, stop running,, and he said no,, for this guy down there is just to close for us to walk,, come run with me..... but no, I broke loose of this hold he had on me, that held me like a chain, I walked slowly, trembling, legs about to just collapse..tears running down my cheeks,,but I made it,, and the preacher was right,, as I got there and knelt down, and said, I accept You Jesus, as my Savior, I felt this burden lift of my back, I could feel the air , go down into my lungs with a lunge you can never experience ,unless you walk to Him...
then I heard the scream!!! The scream of one who had been holding me,,, as he was escorted to the back,, kicking and wailing,, with a broken chain flinging to and fore,, pulled by two winged men,,, then.....he was gone in a flash!
I had finally found..........
HOW TO WALK, AND WHO TO WALK WITH,, AND HOW TO BREATH...
LIFE,,,,,,,,NOT DEATH!
God, thank You for that moment ,,, 57 years ago,,, yes that long, and I have since strayed, we all do, at one time or another,, but you know, once He has you, He just won't let go,, thank You God , for Jesus and His forever grip! amen
John HIcks
And all I have , I give to Him,, the praise and the glory... If you have not walked , made your peace, please think about it, and do it, and do not haste... in doing it!
I RAN, AND I RAN, BREATHLESS!
My life , I was running, from the first days of my accountability,,, it was as if I was about to just run out of my shoes.. yes we did have shoes ,, well in the winter and on Sundays, ha!

It was as if I didn't have the control of my life!Wow, was I ever tired, but the guy with me,, well he seemed to be making it fine,, taking short , easy breaths, smiling, but you know ,,, he was the funniest looking guy that ran around with us... he kinda was deformed, for he had little knots on his forehead,,, his hands did not completely form all the way,, as if he had only two fingers, like hooves.. and it almost looked like he had a tail tucked in his pants.. but he was the leader,, and what he asked of us, we did,, just boys,, doing and laughing, with this ole leader of the pack.. then it happened...
I was standing up behind the sixth bench in the church, when I heard a cry from a man, with sweat running down his face, on his white shirt, his tie opened, he was standing in front of the pulpit,, with a Bible in his hands, looking up into the Heavens,,and then he said,, as he turned and was looking right at me,, " If you are tired and weary, come, come on down , accept this Jesus Christ,, and you will become whole, you will be able to "walk" with your head high, and you will fill good and no guilt,, come on down...let Him lift the burdens of life , off of your shoulders...stop running!".
Well , I almost tore the top of that bench right off, for I gripped it with all my strength, and yes that leader of the pack was right there , beside me,, holding on to me for dear life.. saying , don't go, for we will go for a "fun run" when we get out of here, don't go.. don't leave me. for I will give you anything you want.. I turned and said can I just walk,just this once,, stop running,, and he said no,, for this guy down there is just to close for us to walk,, come run with me..... but no, I broke loose of this hold he had on me, that held me like a chain, I walked slowly, trembling, legs about to just collapse..tears running down my cheeks,,but I made it,, and the preacher was right,, as I got there and knelt down, and said, I accept You Jesus, as my Savior, I felt this burden lift of my back, I could feel the air , go down into my lungs with a lunge you can never experience ,unless you walk to Him...
then I heard the scream!!! The scream of one who had been holding me,,, as he was escorted to the back,, kicking and wailing,, with a broken chain flinging to and fore,, pulled by two winged men,,, then.....he was gone in a flash!
I had finally found..........
HOW TO WALK, AND WHO TO WALK WITH,, AND HOW TO BREATH...
LIFE,,,,,,,,NOT DEATH!
God, thank You for that moment ,,, 57 years ago,,, yes that long, and I have since strayed, we all do, at one time or another,, but you know, once He has you, He just won't let go,, thank You God , for Jesus and His forever grip! amen
John HIcks
And all I have , I give to Him,, the praise and the glory... If you have not walked , made your peace, please think about it, and do it, and do not haste... in doing it!
Monday, July 25, 2011
MONDAY-and even though I wrote it in blue, does not mean it is a "A Blue Monday"! , For it is a bright and shining day, whether it be cloudy with no sun shinning, it is still a shinning day! How do you say? For it is God's , not yours, only for you to use, and use for now as you read this, less than 24 hours, before another appears, if He desires,,, and He shines at all times,, night or day,,,for He is the Sun , the Moon, and the Earth... so today is a shinning day... right?
Prayer Request: For all those who are sick, and in need of things,,, please pray that God will have mercy, and give them the healing, and the things they need, even if He has to take some of our things to give... and I pray that all those who do not know Him, Jesus, will turn today, now , to Him and accept Him ,, and hold Him close to their bodies and in their hearts.
THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWERS FALL....
BUT THE WORD OF GOD STANDS FOREVER! ISAIAH
This above is the truest statement made,,, for no matter what we do,,, how we do it.. who we do it with,, will fall, and wither away... only our knowledge, our stories, our legends of some.. will endure, and only by paper written, by recordings , recorded by God's will,,, awesome .. to know we are expendable here on this earth.. but permanent ,, in Heaven , or hell, which we chose, for it is our choice, while on this earth, so short of a time.. so make it, and I hope make it for Him, and that is what He really wants, but still gives you the choice...Just think, so big, so strong, can do anything He wants,, but stills gives man ,, "choice", yes , a God for real!
We strut around here, like we own this world, or we are better than the others. Better than our neighbor? Better than any in our community, town, city, state, country, world? Yes,, as man, we tend to do that.. for I have more money, I have more of this or that,,, and the one who says " I wish I had that",,,, well we all need to check our walk,,, and leave the strut to Him, and live as He intended us to do from the get go... then will we, and only then ,,, realize that we have it all.... when we have Him ,, for He is wealth, food, land, things, yes,, He is all,, and as the statement above says ,, we will wither, we will fall, back to our dust, from which we came, but
HE AND HIS WORK WILL LAST FOREVER,
YES, FROM THE SON'S MOUTH,, TRUTH,, WITHER AND FALL HERE BUT RISE TO BE FOREVER WITH HIM, IF YOU BELIEVE IN ME, YES FROM JESUS, BELIEVE IN HIM RISE AND LIVE WITH HIM, FOR HE IS FOREVER!
Lord, thank You , for Your gracious giving of us ,this earth, and all the things we have, and most of all the salvation You gave us,, that being Your Son,, Jesus Christ , and believing in Him ,,gives us life with You , forever, and ever.. amen
John HIcks
Just a man, with a mission of telling of this Great God of ours, and let no man stand in the way, for I will not allow it.. the only obstacle I have is myself, and I pray to God that He will help me over this obstacle, me ... may God continue to have mercy on this earth, and may man call out for His reign to be merciful. and let not man stir His anger..... how do you feel about your mission on your trip,, answer only to yourself, and then ponder your answer and ask, do I need to make any changes?
Prayer Request: For all those who are sick, and in need of things,,, please pray that God will have mercy, and give them the healing, and the things they need, even if He has to take some of our things to give... and I pray that all those who do not know Him, Jesus, will turn today, now , to Him and accept Him ,, and hold Him close to their bodies and in their hearts.

TODAY'S LIFE IS MOBILE!
SUNDAY! HIS DAY! and so is all the rest,, He just lets us use them , just for a short time, and then He opens the gates of Heaven and lets us in,, where there is no end! So while in this world of His, give Him your all,, and remember this,,be yourself,, don't try to be "that other person", for you aren't! Be who you are, and say what you feel, because those who matter, don't matter,, and those who matter,, don't matter! O.K.?
TODAY'S LIFE IS MOBILE!
I had something else to write about today, even told two of my really good friends I would have something of a miracle on here this morning for them to read.... but you know,, you don't know everything,, for God changes them , in an instant! and there is nothing you , me, or we can do about it... so here goes,, my key boards are already dancing to say this statement,,
"We are all worried of how will we get to there, from here! Car, bus, train, bike, cycle , plane, horse, feet? Just how do we keep mobile?" "How do we keep in touch with each other, if we are traveling.. moving, from here to there,, at a speed of sometimes , the speed of light,, We think it is that fast, and then again, we feel like it is moving like a turtle!" "We as "humans" are like that , fast, slow, go there , go here, be seen, if not, then you don't belong,, but be seen, not heard, leave it up to the leaders,, just who are the leaders?"
Maybe we just need to stop, , yes stop worrying about what is over the hill, what is down the plain that we can't see the end of.. what is at the bottom of the sea, what is beyond those clouds overhead.. stop the brain,,,,, then hit , not restart, but "refresh",, and let's all ponder deep down in our hearts.. and let our minds go to this "refresh",,, let the home page that appears as we are on the mind clearing "refresh" ,, be that of God,, yes, God, with Jesus at His side... this home page is now in your heart, and mind,,and now you can hit your next move,,, and be sure, that this home page goes with you , it can , and is better than any mobile I Pod or any other phone invented by man... for as you go,, it goes(or HE goes), remember,, when you do go down that road, up that road, carry that "home page", with you,, Our leaders say our State of The Union is not good at all, shows that most are not carrying at all... leaning on themselves , and greed,,, Remember,, you can leave them, but you don't have to leave Him at home,, for travel is His,
HE IS MOBILE TODAY , AND HAS BEEN MOBILE FORM THE GET GO, THE MAKING OF THIS WORLD,, AND IS READY TO GO WITH YOU ALL THE WAY, AND HELP FORM EACH WORD YOU UTTER, WITH ONLY THE HITTING OF THE WORD , FROM YOU,
ENTER! and He will
HIS STATE OF THE UNION IS IN TACK,, AND THERE IS NO WORRY OF BALANCING THE BUDGET,,
FOR THE ONE N HIS RIGHT SIDE , HAS ALREADY BALANCED IT FOR YOU!
LORD, be with us all as we travel through this life...may we all take you into our hearts, and take you with us in ALL we do. amen

YES AND THEY GAVE THEIR ALL
Thoughts For Today-Saturday-07/23/11
SATURDAY- Hey, first day of your week-end, one more to go, and for those with jobs,, back to work! Plan well, enjoy well,, and then think,, while on the job,, enjoy well. Look at the people around you, instead of working with you, they could be in uniform , armed, no smiles, and if you don't do it right, and fast,, they have death on their faces.. so ...now enjoy the week-end, and thank God , you have a place that God has given to you to go back to, and go with freedom to stay or quit, and not die doing it! Think a bout it,, truth now, later ,,, well ???
Prayer Request: For a long ago friend of mine, Mike Turner.. who has a bleeding brain clot.. He is scheduled for probable surgery.. the VA has looked , and in charge of this,, with God.. Mike has served us at least three tours in Iran and Afghanistan. He is a Marine,, not an ex-marine, their is no such thing, he is a marine, that gave it his own,, and pray for this young man, and may God bless you Mike, my young friend, and your family as they stand by your side, and so does America,,, thank you Mike.
YES, AND THEY GAVE ALL THEY HAD!
You know, there are very few times when we see completely unselfish things. I have gotten to see my share, and each and every time I see it... I thank God , for Him, His gracious showing at the time, giving me encouragement, when I am at a low point of life..
This is a "happening " of the Cross Ministry,, which is showing me the great works of being un-selfish in what I am doing.. God has inspired me from the get go,,, believe it or not.. I know from some, it is a mystery of why.. well you must not have ever talked to God, and if you say you have not,,, then I pray that you will... Here goes my true story of two women, on a trip to where, I have no idea, where did they come from , the same, no idea as to where they were going, and names, none,, just two smiling faces, so full of energy,, about 35 to 40 years old. in a car , not new, not real old,, not a jalopy, but a pretty nice vehicle.. stopping in front of my shop.. looking,(both got out of their car), and as I stood there at the door watching them, they almost danced over to the cross rack of free crosses.. I watched as they looked at the garden, and just as if they were taking it with them, they swooped their arms in awe.. with big smiles and yes, giggles,, well, I opened the door,, instead of being alarmed as some are,,, they just did a little jump,, and smiling said " Are the cross maker?".. and I answered yes.. they picked up one each.. then one said , "How much can we give you for these crosses?" I said, "They are free,, we donate them to whoever,, no charge, for He did not charge a penny, but gave us His all." They both looked at each other, one opened her purse, got a dollar,, the other did the same... said "this is all we have now ,, we have enough gas to get to where we are going,, we are not hungry,, here take this for our crosses." I said "no!,, and I mean it!" Well, after a little of an argument,, they agreed, looked at each other , held their Cross up high, and almost danced to their car.. I had not seen this kind of excitement in a long time.. well back to cross building!
In a few days to follow, Perry Livingston came down to pick up a load of crosses to paint and distribute from Lovejoy... and as we finished loading his truck,, Perry was walking around and looking at my cross garden,, when he said,, "John , your garden is growing money!", I laughed. and said ,,"Yes, yes!",, Perry reached down , picked a dollar out of the edge of the mulch,, then picked another one out, and handed them to me.. I was in shock.. someone had left me two dollars. but they were not right together, one on one end, the other just a ways down from that one. but see-able..... then it hit, me,, I told Perry,, " I know where those two dollars came from... yes, it was from the girls,,
THEY GAVE THEIR ALL ,, RIGHT THERE,, IN PLAIN SIGHT!
and I would bet, they both were giggiling at the thought of me finding those two dollars , and how I would re-act,, what do you think?
God, I thank you for those two,, and the opportunity to wittness You at work , for this uplifted me, and I praise you for it, and I ask a specal blessing for these two , who gave to You ,, with no re-morse,, their all.. their last two dollars. amen
John HIcks
You know today,, you fill in the red,, and I ask for all of your prayers. that this deed that THE CROSS MINIISTRY , has undertaken will continue to give out crosses and give out the message it carries with it, and that all who know of it will support us, in what we do,, and do it "out-loud"! Thank you, you two ladies, whom I only have a memory of, but wow , what a memory!

EYES OPEN,,, UP,,,AND EVEN!
FRIDAY-TGFEDNJF- Yes, thank God for every day, not just Friday,, We tend to stay on ceremony,rather than rock the boat.. So Perry Livingtson started this with me,, TGED,, we should follow his example and not just make it on Friday, because of a week-end...for God gave you the jobs. so you can have the week-ends.. so it is a fact,, to get to these W/E's , thank him everyday for that job, for there are a lot of unemployed people that are having these days off,,, but not on purpose,,, let's pray that everyone will find work and then all can go back to the ole TGIF! How about it? Are you all for that?
EYES OPEN, UP AND EVEN!
Have you ever noticed that when you mention God, or Jesus,, how many people will lower there eyes, and their heads a little? This is outside of the church,, say in a store, with other people around,, I have mentioned the Cross Ministry, and how many crosses went out, and some of the things people have witnessed upon picking them up... and as I do, I watch the eyes,, the heads,, the step back, the shyest grins.. the almost a look of a wish,, why don't he say something about anything but God, and Jesus and those Crosses,, then a small glance to his right,, gosh there stands two or three of my "go to the games with , buddies".. what are they going to think ,, me over here with all this "GOD talk".. No, I can't read minds,, but I can read looks, and I get them all the time,, & I always , when finished,, look around, if in a crowd, or just one on one,,,,and say,, yes,, I never pass up a chance to praise God,, might not get another chance.
Just a note,, everything happens for a reason,, pipe broke in my shop,, water all in the back,, vacuum, dry out , cut out pipes, go get repair parts.. and as I got back home,, after a few extra minutes as usual with my moter mouth,,, still soaking wet with sweat, it was mighty hot in that little corner... 99 degrees outside,,, my wife was on the phone, and she said,, well he's back,, finally,, and I said , well, I got to wittiness to three people while I was gone... was that a plan? We just never know, do we.. for God is always working,, we are the lazy ones! Reason for this little story,, one of these stood tall, never lowered his eyes,, listened, and responded just as proud as I was and met me glance , face to face, smiled , and you could see that God was in this man! Wow,, I just wish all was like Him..proud, and not ashamed of it at all...
Let's all practice the eye level thing,,, even if we have to stoop to get to that level with someone.. what? You are not going to lower yourself in "Wal mart" ,, just to get eye level when talking about God.. oh, maybe you don't talk "God Talk" in Wally World!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,,
KEEP YOUR EYES LEVEL AND AIMED,, FOR THE LORD, ONLY LOWER YOURSELF, IF YOU HAVE TO STOOP!
Lord, thank You for all the ones,, whom CAN look us all right back in the eye, and I pray that those who can't, will turn and accept Jesus and be with us all.. amen
John HIcks
Yes, I am looking straight,and still talking the talk, and trying to just tell the old, old, story of my Lord , Jesus and try and get those lowered eyes just a little to the "Jesus Line Of View",, will you walk, and talk with me?

WEBSTERS DICITIONARY!
TUESDAY- a great day for you, if you have not, to ask Jesus to come live with you,, and He will , if asked,, and a greater tenant you can not find! I have Him and once asked ,He will live with you for ever-ever, and never costs one anything, for He paid for all, on that cross...
Prayer Report: Joseph Hammonds in re-hap in Macon.
Elmer Kent, please pray as he has a critical medical condition.
Little Joseph, came out of surgery yesterday afternoon, 99+% on tumor GONE, and will have to probably have some treatment. He was awake and talking,, which is great.. God still looks after those little ones , and as said, Jesus loves all the little children.
WEBSTERS DICTIONARY
I have the new revised edition.. basic English words for daily use.. GARBAGE! As I stroll through it, I get completely sick,,, words which I grew up with, are no more... I can't go into a room with a lot of people and say when I am feeling so happy,, "Hey everyone, I'm gay!" It can stop the sound in a room! oh, no,, it is not that you are happy,, it is that you are different,, for a better word.
Words once forbidden to speak are "sociable correct" now.. GARBAGE! If all we have to do is set around and change our old words from one meaning to another, then we are going down the toilet!
Folks, it is time to call the words out that we grew up in...if you can stand the stares,, for we grew up in an age of innocent. in which the word pregnant was a word in my area that was talked in a hush environment,, and the word "expecting a child" was used instead. Go and look up words, and be not surprised as to what you see... "gay" is not the only one,but the one I choose to use as an example.. for on some of our old home movies of 20 years ago, or longer.. everyone in the dang-gone room was homosexual, for there was numerous outcries of ,,, "point the camera over here , everyone is having such a gay time , look they are all so gay! or ,, look there,, so and so is having a gay ole time... Wow.. words have changed the meaning of a lot of things,, so when you say something this day and time,,, maybe it is better you just put your old Webster back in the closet, and get a new one,, and look up the words,, BEFORE, you open your mouth..
There are a few words and phrases that are the same, God, Jesus, Christian, forgiveness, sin, Heaven, hell, love, the love of one another, the saving power of Christ.. Friend, Mother , Father, Son, Daughter, Grandchild.. and most of all that has not changed with one word or many and that is
THE FAMILY OF GOD.. WHICH MEANS ONE BELIEVES IN THE LIVING GOD, LIVES IN THE FAMILY OF CHRISTIANS, AND WILL NEVER MEAN ANYTHING ELSE... AND IT WILL ENDURE FOREVER, AND EVER!
God, thank You for giving us a language that we can use and understand, but let us use the words that are a tribute to You, and can be said with the intention of being good. and understanding as to their real meaning.. and may all seek Your Son for redemption of all their sins.. amen
John HIcks
Sometimes I recall the past.. and yes, there was not the conveniences of this time , then.. but the harmony , and the innocence was greater.. and that was , to me good! Listen to the commercials on T.V. or the radio,,, and they are of the fifties,, why,, for you can understand them and they sent a real lively and good tune! Yes. or no,,, for why would the companies pay so much money to advertise with them if they did not work.. so let's go back to the fifties, and call Jesus back into our lives!
I am still on the march of this world of God , here and now,,, and the world of His after this life,, as to wheither you make the next one is strictly up to you, and not me.. for that choice is yours, and only yours..make it wisely!
LONG TODAY ,,HUH?

Prayer Report: Joseph Hammonds in re-hap in Macon.
Elmer Kent, please pray as he has a critical medical condition.
Little Joseph, came out of surgery yesterday afternoon, 99+% on tumor GONE, and will have to probably have some treatment. He was awake and talking,, which is great.. God still looks after those little ones , and as said, Jesus loves all the little children.
WEBSTERS DICTIONARY
I have the new revised edition.. basic English words for daily use.. GARBAGE! As I stroll through it, I get completely sick,,, words which I grew up with, are no more... I can't go into a room with a lot of people and say when I am feeling so happy,, "Hey everyone, I'm gay!" It can stop the sound in a room! oh, no,, it is not that you are happy,, it is that you are different,, for a better word.

UPON YOUR SHOULDERS
WEDNESDAY,,, Welcome to another of Gods' great days! He is so good to all of us, and please , let us all give thanks to Him and realize, that "IT" all comes from Him , right from the start!
Prayer Report: Little Joseph is having his operation today... so one day ahead on prayers, and today,, so keep on praying, and I will give you updates as I receive them.
Tommy Mullings, after heart attack, kidney dialysis,, Tommy is suffering with eye problems.. He has regained tunnel vision in one eye. and is going to an eye specialist.. let us pray that this doctor can find a way to help restore his eyesight.
UPON YOUR SHOULDERS!
God gives us the use of choices,, such as receiving Him or not,, also the way we live is by our choice, unless we ask for something different, then we can alter our path.. I believe in this! But a lot relies on YOU!
Whether each day of your life shall give happiness or suffering,, rests entirely upon your shoulders!
Actions come from the heart, to the brain, then the reaction, comes from the tongue... and once pass that last item,, that ole tongue,, will decide that which is above written in red! Do you agree, or not, that you are you, by Gods' love,,, given a choice,, ,,when you team up with satan or Him? Do digest,, the statement , the word "love", for even a sinner, He loves you,, He is always waiting, for you to make the choice.. so don't delay,, don't miss the boat, and land in the shark area!
So, stop , think about this today and then you decide if your fate, given the choice by God,, is not resting,,,,
UPON YOUR SHOULDERS?
God, thank You for giving us a choice, and I pray that all who read this, and all who they touch, will heed this, and make the right choice,, the one to You.. and I ask for the release of the suffering of the sick, the poor. I ask for Your rescue for those who are in need. amen
John HIcks
Just continue to hammer,, CHOICE, CHOICE, CHOICE.. don't let it pass you by, and slide down that greasy sloop that satan has prepared for you, make the choice, and I guarantee that God will have Jesus standing on that same sloop holding your hand as you go down it,,, and you will have all the traction you need............ make it,, the choice of JESUS!

THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Tuesday, now you have gotten through that first day back from the W/E, and are at the helm of reality of work, or whatever, and the question is ,, what will , or who will , you lean on today.. a post, a door entrance, a car/truck, a friend, a love one of sorts... husband/wife etc. or continue to lean on the one who got you through this life , right up to now? Yes , to this very second you are reading this,, I am leaning on the ever-lasting arms.. of my Jesus Christ!
Prayer Report and Request: Christy Hicks, said, she got out and to the mall yesterday,, and I say,, Christy, with God at your side, you will be right back in the middle of His work, when He chooses, so may God bless such a strong, and faithful servant!
Little Joseph,, to be operated on today! May the surgeons go in and remove that tumor, with no brain damage, God guide their hands , for all in all, they are Your hands...let all pray for this little infant as he struggles for survival in this jungle , we call world.
LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN!
As all of you know , Jimmy Livingston started the "Cross Ministry", and I have jumped on it with a bang, and I am committed to it.. We are going at leaps and bounds making and delivering cross's for people to put in their yards as a statement of their belief and support of Jesus Christ who died for you and me,, a horrible death,, but one our God chose, and that choice of birth and death is the path, and the only path to Him and Heaven, prepared for us by Jesus... I believe this journey began as soon as one is born.. taken to Him , early, middle age, or older.. His plan, maybe our pain, but faith we must dig up,, deep deep down in our own souls to bear whatever He sends out way, for He will send nothing,,, that we cannot bear, He will get us through it.. I believe! Do You?
Each time I hand out a Cross, or see someone stop and pick one up, I get this uncontrollable smile,, and feeling, that I can't explain to people.. and folks ,, I believe it is God at work, within , and I ask today for your prayers,, of hope, the ability to build, paint, and distribute the cross's , for we have a feat in front of to deliver, now 6080 crosses , by the first of October,, I mean finished before so they can be transported,, This is for one outing, ,, what is the motivation,, the reminder of Todd Livingston,, as he smiled when looking at me and made this gigantic statement,, "close your eyes, and imagine 6000 crosses in 6000 more yards!" With the help of prayer, and Gods' gracious love, we will succeed, and today I ask for prayers from all,, from the smallest to the oldest... your prayers will count... trust me... Pray that soon , every yard in America will have a cross in it.. for this statement is more urgent at this time, than it has ever has been.
THE JOURNEY HAS BEGUN!
God , please help us all in the Cross Ministry, to continue to do Your work and give the credit, and the glory to You, amen
John HIcks
I hope the picture attached comes up on your screen, and let's follow little Noah, and hand out some "GOD" also!

HOW MANY MORE WILLL HE ASK FOR THIS TIME
Monday- Wow! The start of a new week! So , let's all together,, start it off by inviting Jesus to go to work with us , or just hang with us , today, and yes, forever and ever.. He has not to far to come from, He was beside you when you woke up this morning! Really!
Report of Little Joseph,, he was given a bed in St. Jude's, and all records are already in the hands of the neuro-surgeons.. You go Lord!
How Many More Will He Ask For This Time, our time?
Yes this is a question I ask,, but Abraham asked God , to spare Sodom and Gomorrah when the Angels told Abraham of their trip to destroy these cities because of the greatest sins of the inhabitants.
He said, Abraham ,, if 50 righteous can be found , will you spare these? Yes was the answer,, then 45,, yes: then 40, yes: then 30, yes: then 20, yes: then 10 , yes:,, and as the Angels of the Lord came in to Lots house , Abraham's nephew.. the crowd of citizens beat at the door demanding sex with the Angels,, until they broke the door down, and then the Angels struck them blind.. and the Angles told Lot to gather his family and depart for they where about to destroy these sinful cities, (for Lot could not find the ten)...and as Lot left, he was told not to look back , but his wife did,, and as the fire and brimstone rained onto these sin-filled cities,, of all the sins one can imagine, Lots' wife looked back, and was turned to salt.. Lot and family went on over the hill and never looked back... story? No , fact, God warned the people of Sodom and Gomorrah,, and they did not heed.. and I ask of just some random cities,,,, New York, Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago, those big towns, and how about those small towns ,, like the population of 200 or less.. If God asked for 50,,, could we supply Him? I mean RIGHTEOUS,,, not just church goers, Internet writers,, street preachers,, or just fine up standing citizens that most run behind the politicians,,,for the fall outs of success, or stardom.. can we find those 50,, how about the 10?
God has not asked for a number ,, no not yet , but He has sent the warning, and my Friends,, this is what this ,,, this morning is all about,,, have you heard the cry from Heaven? I have and I know my Lord is crying of how His world is wallowing in the mud of sin... with no sexually differential allowed...no morals one to another, at all.. now for the final question.....
ARE YOU ONE OF THE 10, IF ASKED,, OR ARE YOU IN THE MUD?
Lord, I cry out , mercy,, forgiveness, and let us try to bring out thousands ,, out of the mud of sin, and with Your help and strength,, we can, but we must have You,,, and I cry out with all I have.. cast the sin out of me, and all who are reading this, give us the strength Lord.. amen
John HIcks
Will you join me in the drying out of the land, and make it walk-able, and not the slippery step of sinful mud? It will take us all,, come , and join this journey, will you? Remember, I am not trying to scare people, but we have built the fire and brimstone of the time the Lord decides and we and all of the nations of the world,, store them in silos... think about it?
LONG TODAY, BUT REALLY WAS ON MY MIND FROM THE TIME MY EYES OPENED, AND NOW IT HAS BEEN SAID,, NO APOLOGY FOR BEING LATE NOR LONG, NOR TO THE POINT!

Sunday, July 17, 2011
OH, I MEANT TO!
Sunday- Welcome to His day,,, and thank You God for it, for we all realize each day of our lives on this great gift of an earth from you , is a great blessing,, and we give you ,and only you the credit, and the glory...
Prayer Request & Report: Glady Hicks, who has been feeling very low, to the ER (outpaient most of the time), back home,, also tests for a lump,, pray for her,, she is special to us all around here!
Little Joseph had some good news ,, for now... the tests show that the tumor on his brain is not malignant.. now , hopefully to St Jude's Hospital for further evaluation and more good news. Keep praying for him , as prayer is our hope for all things.
OH I MEANT TO ! or I JUST HAD SOMETHING ELSE TO DO!
Yes, it is a statement within each of us to share at anytime we are put on the spot about sharing written statements or talk within a group about God, or Jesus! Whether we use it or not. is up tO us.Why, can we talk about satan, curse, laugh at something that is more satanism, BUT, let God enter the picture,, WE run for cover,, it is not "political correct" these days? Let me tell you one thing,,, it had better get to be "political correct" , and quickly , for our world is going to hell in a race-car with the speed of which you have never seen before,, just pick up a paper , turn on a movie, and then turn on any show (few left) that says family o.k. and listen to the face reddening language, and actions. then tell me we are on the right track in this nation and world... When you check out at Wal-Mart,, watch the people at the check-out isle and watch them put their phones down long enough to read the covers of all the magazines,, yes while most of their children are standing with mouths wide open ,, looking also,, "getting an education?",, but look up , there,, there,,standing on the top of that counter is a little horn headed man, dancing the "winners jig"..
Now, enough words ,, only a few left on this day of enough is enough,, what will be your answer at the line going to the "Great Throne of God" , at JUDGMENT,,and there will be no magazines, and nothing to do with what is "political correct", for only facts will be dealt with, and it will be the facts of your ENTIRE life! Well will you still say
OH ,,, I MEANT NOT TO,, OR WELL SOMETHING ELSE POPPED UP TO TALK ABOUT,, OR IT JUST WAS NOT THE RIGHT THING AT THE MOMENT, OH GOD , IT JUST WAS NOT "POLITICALLY CORRECT"?
rubbish,, to all the "political incorrect", and hurray for the one standing with God , tall as a tree!
God , forgive this world, and I pray for redemption ,, before it is too late, and we awaken the great temper of Yours. amen
John HIcks
Talking of the only way to save a world, IS TO STAND TALL, TALK GOD, READ GOD, AND WALK WITH GOD, NOT PART-TIME, BUT FULL-TIME.. IF IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOD,,, IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU! Thank about it and thank real hard.. over and out!

IT'S UP TO YOU!
Saturday,,, o.k. this is the first day of your W/E. so use it smart, and the second day also, and if you are lucky enough to have a three day W/E, us it smart also.. for it is a whole six more days until the next one,,, while going through this week-end, remember who made it and gave it to you, and also remember to have a good time for "smiles are started by other smiles"!
IT'S UP TO YOU!
As to whether you or I get to go to Heaven with God, it really and truly up to us. The way we live through this life,, with God, or with satan... that is the only two factors in this future trip. We tend to say , well if we do this,,,then this time it is o.k.,, and I will change latter... but if it is not in God's law,, then it is not o.k. at any time,,, for His law,, folks ,, is HIS LAW,, and that is the only LAW! When you were born, there is a built in instruction,, accept me.. and I will save you,,, that is from Jesus,, for those who have never heard of God and Jesus,, it is up to us to get that message to them, and wake up this message..for some believe in a supreme being,, and they know that this being is a God,, they just do not call their being God,, and do not have all the information that we have by our records and language interpretation.. so God IS within all of us,,, and as to the use of it,, it is still up to us, who are educated enough to know of Him , and to accept His Son, and reject satan.. and give Him to all we see.
It can get very hard to understand the word "all",, but I do believe in this,, "all" who reads this , is responsible to God, and to get to Him after this journey's end, is through Jesus Christ, and that it is your choice, and yours only,, and it is up to you to tell, and be an example of this to all you see.. you can not wear two coats of two different colors.. you must either love God, or the treasures of this world, and when you leave ,, you will leave the worldly treasures,, but you will meet Him, bare as the day you were born,, with only Jesus at your side, if you have called out and asked Him,,,if not , then the baggae you hold ,,will be that of the sins of life, now the decision as to whether you stay with Him,
IS,,UP TO YOU ,, NOW!
Lord, I pray that all who are reading this will , or have, come to You through Your Son, and insuring their path after this journey ends,, amen
John HIcks
I have walked on many roads, that I thought was the joy of my life,, but those roads, are no comparison to the road that God has given me,, I asked ,,, and He has given,, the other roads ,, exists no more.. thank You Jesus! What road are you on? It's up to you,,, now!
IT'S UP TO YOU!
As to whether you or I get to go to Heaven with God, it really and truly up to us. The way we live through this life,, with God, or with satan... that is the only two factors in this future trip. We tend to say , well if we do this,,,then this time it is o.k.,, and I will change latter... but if it is not in God's law,, then it is not o.k. at any time,,, for His law,, folks ,, is HIS LAW,, and that is the only LAW!

It can get very hard to understand the word "all",, but I do believe in this,, "all" who reads this , is responsible to God, and to get to Him after this journey's end, is through Jesus Christ, and that it is your choice, and yours only,, and it is up to you to tell, and be an example of this to all you see.. you can not wear two coats of two different colors.. you must either love God, or the treasures of this world, and when you leave ,, you will leave the worldly treasures,, but you will meet Him, bare as the day you were born,, with only Jesus at your side, if you have called out and asked Him,,,if not , then the baggae you hold ,,will be that of the sins of life, now the decision as to whether you stay with Him,
IS,,UP TO YOU ,, NOW!
Lord, I pray that all who are reading this will , or have, come to You through Your Son, and insuring their path after this journey ends,, amen
John HIcks
I have walked on many roads, that I thought was the joy of my life,, but those roads, are no comparison to the road that God has given me,, I asked ,,, and He has given,, the other roads ,, exists no more.. thank You Jesus! What road are you on? It's up to you,,, now!

FROM THE MOUTH OF A CHILD
Tuesday: Welcome this morning, remember that God put you to sleep last night, and it was Him who woke you up this morning,, did you thank Him for the refreshing feeling of LIFE, He re-gave you as you awoke and took that deep , yawning breath? Why not? That breath was just like the first one you ever took! Thank about it!
Prayer Request: Tommy Mulling is have complications from his surgery... please let's all say extra prayers for Tommy today, and until he is well...
Sue Sanders, who , thank the good lord,, is going to have a throat exploration today at noon, we hope,, then they will see why she cannot swallow and start her treatment for this.
There are so many more who need your prayers,, God know their names, and I ask , will you just please ask Him to be with these ones, and also heal them.... prayer is healing and it does work,, we just don't always see in what way... so do keep on praying!
FROM THE MOUTH OF A CHILD!
I have heard some of the greatest preachers and some of the greatest sermons, , filled with wonderful stories , and actual "happenings",,, from where God has jumped in and did spectacular things... but the real innocent ones, the little ones, the children, who say things , are the ones that send us , the adults the real messages of what is within that child,, the things we have taught in church, and in our living examples..for they pick up on these things, and then there are those that I believe God puts there for us all to hear, pass along, and ponder within our own selves.. here it goes as best as I can tell it..
My granddaughters , Carley and Anna Claire was playing "kinda rough",,, now they are 6- 1/2 and 5, and Carley hit Anna right in the chest accidently, and Anna was crying real hard,,, then stoppped and here is the message of the day from Anna....in her own words
"Me-mama(her other grandma), Carley just hit God, and He is hurting!"
Now we all know,, exactly where God is,,, in us and you heard it straight
FROM THE MOUTH OF A CHILD!
(Thanks Phyllis for passing this one along! )
God, thank You for our children, and may we all still admit ,, we learn a lot from them,, and may we be the example of a father and a mother to have these children know these things, and let us thank you also God , that you are with our children at all times. amen
John HIcks
With all my "gab", I can never out do a saying from a child when God is sending out messages of such importance,,,, God Is In The Heart of all our children, and us also,, we must support Him , with our actions to them,, that of our children, our grandchildren,, the children of this world ! Amen?

Story
Saturday- Yes,, it is here, finally, and it will seem like it will go away a lots quicker than it took to get here! Heard of something that is not used very much but is in great abundance,, it's free,and it's 100% natural, and you can get it at any time.."the truth" !
Prayer Request: Melinda Sanders, and Suanne Beeland's mother, Mrs. Vaughn, is in the Hospital for medical complications, please pray for her recovery.

Our own Sue Sanders,,, came through heart surgery well,, but is still in for further testing, and we are all waiting on that info,,please pray for her,,, over-all.
Just a little continued story for today....
Remember the story of the day of Sue's heart attack and all the things God was doing to help us get her to the ER.. and what all she did for herself... well two things,, one asked,, why did God give her the heart attack in the first place,, and then perform these miracles? Well in the "first place" , you do not question God,, but as Jesus said to the blind man,, things are placed here for a reason from His Father to further His word by examples.. so I do not question.. I just follow!
Second,, that saw that I had worked on to set for my dado blades for the crosses I am building.. has never taken over a minute or two to set. well as I had said that morning, I had worked on it over thirty minutes,, and still did not have it set,, just turn that thing on, and off.. and got the cell call from Sue,, well,, I went out there yesterday morning,, and it took only one pass, and it was set,, also it made the smaller ones without resetting this time, and that has NEVER happened! Now again,, with all these words of this , another story,,, you tell me!
Well, I am listening, and brother ,, I do know,, it is not coincidence.. well spit it out ,,
IF YOUR A BELIEVER!
Lord, thank You, again, for your actions, and we don't question them, we just thank you, and I also pray that as above at the top, that we have an abundant crop of the truth! amen

YES , WE SAW GOD AT WORK, YESTERDDAY!
TGIF, Friday,, and yes , thank God for it,, for he did give it to you and remember ,, He can also take it away,, so stay real close to Him,, and mind His commandments.. they tend to be real important at the bottom of that Golden Throne,, so be good, then don't worry, and enjoy the day!
Prayer Request: for Sue Sanders, my sister-in-law , who is really like a sister to me... she is married to Libby's brother... and had a heart attach, yesterday,, has had surgery, and in good condition last night,, but still has recovery to do... so I ask that all will give a prayer in her name to the Man,, for He is the greatest of all physicians...
Tommy Mullings, who is having some complications from, they think his meds,, but he was back in the hospital yesterday, so please pray for him to get well, and back home.
Continue to pray for Joseph Hammonds, who was run over by the tractor,, he is still in the hospital in Macon , Ga... so pray for his recovery also...
YES, WE SAW GOD AT WORK, JUST YESTERDAY!
My sister-in-law had been feeling bad, and the doctors had scheduled her for some blood work on Thursday,,, my wife was going with her , because she was weak.. she even said for Libby to drive her,, then we go worried, for she is so independent,, and unless she was real weak,, this was not like her.. but Libby told her , sure she would drive her over.. and it was agreed...but as my sister-in law was showering and getting ready for the trip,, she got even weaker,, then felt a pain in her chest,, just a holding type pattern of a pain, a pain going to her head,,and she had the sense to take a half of an aspirin,, then called me on my cell phone,, in which I had already went to my shop and was setting up my saw and just could not get it adjusted.. and turned the motor off just as my cell phone rang,, for I would not have heard that phone ringing with that big saw running,, it was sister-in law.. with a faint voice,, "tell Libby to come get me and take me to the ER,, I feel like I am weaker"... then I asked , "what is going on?", she told me , she was weaker,,and had chest pains.. I grabbed Libby, drove next door and got Sue & to the ER very quickly, they diagnosed,, "heart attack", transferred her to Macon Heart Tower, where after exam,, immediately put in a stint, she had 80 % blockage.. she is at this time doing good out of surgery as of 9:oo p.m. , and may come home as soon as today...
But this whole story's base is that of the reconization in this persons eyes, God was working at a full pace,,,, First, He gave Sue the insight to take a 1/2 aspirin,, and folks, this saved her life,, He then cut my saw off, so I could hear that cell phone,,, He then gave that doctor the skilled hands to put in that stint and open her artery,,,and last and not least, as Libby and I was leaving the Hospital in Macon,, after we got on the elevator,, I said , I hope I can find our way to the car.. and this lady who was on the elevator,, said,, that her husband was worried about her going on that parking deck alone, & had told her to find her keys ahead and have them ready, she was kinda scared for he had a bad feeling of her coming out late into the parking lot... and I said, we are parked on the orange second level, hope I can find it,,, and yes,, she said , praise the Lord, so am I , will you walk me to my car?... now you answer this question , for the thoughts, as long as they are today ,are over for now , but the answer to this story lies with you ,,,
Was He, God , working with us yesterday ? What do you believe?
God, thank You for Your Thursday intervention ,, of Your hand reaching out, touching many, and saving a love one of ours ,,,, and we are all so very grateful, and thank you for this great favor from You.. amen
John HIcks
Enough said,, now it is up to the readers to digest , and make your own judgment of this event!

But this whole story's base is that of the reconization in this persons eyes, God was working at a full pace,,,, First, He gave Sue the insight to take a 1/2 aspirin,, and folks, this saved her life,, He then cut my saw off, so I could hear that cell phone,,, He then gave that doctor the skilled hands to put in that stint and open her artery,,,and last and not least, as Libby and I was leaving the Hospital in Macon,, after we got on the elevator,, I said , I hope I can find our way to the car.. and this lady who was on the elevator,, said,, that her husband was worried about her going on that parking deck alone, & had told her to find her keys ahead and have them ready, she was kinda scared for he had a bad feeling of her coming out late into the parking lot... and I said, we are parked on the orange second level, hope I can find it,,, and yes,, she said , praise the Lord, so am I , will you walk me to my car?... now you answer this question , for the thoughts, as long as they are today ,are over for now , but the answer to this story lies with you ,,,
Was He, God , working with us yesterday ? What do you believe?
God, thank You for Your Thursday intervention ,, of Your hand reaching out, touching many, and saving a love one of ours ,,,, and we are all so very grateful, and thank you for this great favor from You.. amen
John HIcks
Enough said,, now it is up to the readers to digest , and make your own judgment of this event!

THIS IS A HOLD UP!
Thursday- Good morning, and welcome to another one of God's gracious gifts,, and that gift is another day granted in His World... Yes, granted , for He made it, and He owns it, He has just loaned it to us for a while , so don't get so uppity that you thought you own it,, for you own nothing in this world,, but the choice of which direction your soul will go! Think about it!
THIS IS A HOLD UP!
Well, as you can guess, when you are looking at a "thing" , just standing there with a pitch-fork, a pointed tail, hooves for feet, two horns protruding out of his forehead,,, two fanged teeth coming out of his mouth and a forked tongue,, wagging with these words,,,, STOP! hands up,, give me your soul,, or I will jamb you with this pitch-fork,, I will devourer you, and I will send you to my hell, and I will burn you to death thousands and thousands of times,, for an eternity,,now give it to me and give it to me NOW! You might as well give, for I am going to take it anyway,, for you cannot stop me!
What would you do if you ran up on this character night or day? Run for the hills with him chasing you,, but, you can't out run him,,,,,so just what would you do?
Well I am a great fan of the NRA,,, and I have to say,, I go packing,,, and a regular 45, as "Dirty Harry " will tell you , will put a hole in you as big as the Holland Tunnel,,, but against this "thing",, it will do nothing ,,, so what to do,,,, here is what I do, (for I run up on him and his temptations, regularly)... I pull out
THAT OLE GOSPEL GUN, AND I PUT THAT RASCAL DOWN! AND I USE JESUS BULLETS!
God, thank You for my Gospel Gun, Your Son , Jesus, and the power to defeat satan and all his angels,, at any time I am stopped by these cut throats.. amen
John HIcks
Packing heavy,, what do you have on your hip? I hope it is the same as I carry!

JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED
Wednesday-Get up and enjoy this great "middle" day! It was made, just for you and me, by our God! So get up off the ole "seat", and get out and enjoy it ,, hot? Not as some place else, so enjoy the day!
Prayer Reports: Tommy Mulling is home.. praise the Lord that he continues to heal.
Joesph Hammond's, is doing good ,, arm operated on, and doing reasonably good.
JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!
I do not like the results of the jury on little Caylee Anthony's "mother",, but I will resolve myself to the fact that the real truth will prevail when this "so called mother" goes to the foot of the throne of God... then He will judge, I have resolved my judgment to be removed from me and put in His hands, and as Forrest Gump says,, "that is all I will say about that"!
May God continue to hold this nation together, and may He continue to bless us,, and may our peers learn right from wrong! I am not judging, but questioning the ability of our educated to be able to serve in any capacity,, for I see good in this nation,,, but barely... I feel like we need to put a lot of time in talking to God, in this day and time,, what do you think? I do think that the time of judgment is at hand, and I am sure that when that day comes, and it will be judgment for all of us,, and we all will stand and kneel at the foot of that great throne of our LIVING GOD, OUR ONLY GOD, WITH OUR JESUS AT HIS SIDE,,, and then
JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED , and SERVED CORRECTLY!
God, I ask forgiveness of this world, for we all have sinned, and I ask for mercy from you, amen
John HIcks
As I pray for this world, this nation, will you join me, if for only a few words & and a few minutes?,,, surely you are not that busy! Please come to the realization,, that the only way for our nation to survive is through prayer.. so lets all hit he knees! Will you give God, just a few minutes of your 1440 minute day?

Do we have enough faith in our selves to do this,, we should,,, come on Christians,, pray for

God, I pray that all here on Your earth, will kneel down, accept Your Son, and You as their only God, and their only way to You,, and none be left behind, and I also ask at this very same time, to forgive all who have sinned against You, and Lord, I do forgive all who have sinned against me. amen

AND WORKING IS A PLEASURE!
Good Sunday Morning! I hope all are doing good this great day,, the one God set aside to rest, and today, and after a busy early celebration with our family, yesterday,, I certainly am going to do this. I will be getting geared up for a long marathon of "Cross" making for The Cross Ministry,, we will be making 6680 crosses to be delivered,, 200 for three weeks in this month, 6000 for a big event the first of October, and the 80 for an event in Ala. in October,,, reason I am sending this out,, is to ask all to pray for all of us at The Cross Ministry, for this is the biggest request we have had, and we will still also be making and distributing Crosses as unusual ... please pray for us to be successful.. I have faith that we will do it for we have the "Major Carpenter" working with us... I will start my saws up on the fourth this year and continue as long as it takes, please pray for all of us at The Cross Ministry !
AND WORKING IS A PLEASURE!
You might say,,,, this guy is a nut,, to say working is a pleasure! Well let me tell you one thing, if you are working for the Lord, then you will know what I mean! You don't have to be a preacher, a deacon, or even a little ole "cross maker" ,,to work for the Lord,,, YOU can do this YOURSELF! How? By professing and being a Christian,,, at work, at play, at shopping, just walking around,, in all you do,, and if you do this above, then you are working for God.. and working in the most pleasurable atmosphere,, you will ever work in, for even if you happen to go through a devil infested area,,, with your actions, and your words,,, you just might bring one or two out of that infestation with you,, and that my friend is the work of the Lord! So come with me,, just an ole ordinary country bumpkin , off of an old cotton farm in ole Alabama,, come ,, let's join forces and get to
WALKING, TALKING , AND WORKING FOR GOD,, LET'S HAVE SOME PLEASURE,, JOIN ME, WILL YOU?
God, thank You for giving us the "built in drive of You" , and that we can feel it, and go to work for You , rather than ourselves, and I ask that You to continue to be with us in doing just that,, amen
John HIcks
At work for Him,, and you know,, it makes the day,,, each and every day,,, you should try if you are not doing it already,, it so easy to do, for enemies are knocked down a lot easier, when you have Jesus walking beside you,, come on,, if you don't have Him,, go ahead and ask Him,, and then you too , walk a easier and happier day!
