KNOCK,, KNOCK!!!!

Thoughts for To

MONDAY!!! Awake and ready for the upcoming week!!! How about you? Now , the big question to ask all... who have you decided to spend all the days of this week, and your life with,, from NOW,,,, the first second, minute , hour, day, week, months, years,,, of the rest of YOUR life, that starts this second ? I have picked God Almighty as my God, and Jesus Christ as my Savior, and best friend to walk His Father's world with,, now that is my choice,, think about yours,,, and act on it now, for as I always say,,, it is the most important choice you will ever make!!!!!

Prayer Request: For Susan Lowe Roberts, and all of her family!

KNOCK KNOCK ,, WHO'S THERE?

This is something that,, we as very young children,, ask many, many times, and most are so funny,, but can get old after a while,,, so,,, we quite saying those familiar words,, "knock, knock!",, and we do not listen for that other party,,, "who's there".

This is sooo sad,,, and how many times after becoming a young adult have we witnessed a kid(a child, not a goat as my children always use to say I was calling them),,, say the same joke so many times we would want to scream,, but we kept right on answering and laughing, because of the love of that child we had in our hearts....right? Yes, we unconditionally love our children, and all the little young ones,, and to this day,, if one starts with a knock knock joke, I am ready for doing the laugh, and the excitement of seeing them tell it over, and over, and their joy of seeing me enjoying something they are doing for the want and joy of making us proud and showing our love back to them ,, and that we are listening to them!

Now, change that to this day, this time of your life, no matter the age,, that you ,, if you have not already,, and if you already have,, maybe like me ,,you need to re-listen to that

KNOCK, KNOCK VOICE COMING INTO OUR MINDS THIS MOMENT.. AND WE SAY, YES ,, WHO'S THERE,,

AND IF WE LISTEN REAL CLOSE, YOU WILL HEAR THIS,,,

"IT IS I,,,,, YOUR GOD,,, AND I LOVE YOU, WHY DO YOU TURN AWAY FROM ME? FOR I HAVE BEEN KNOCKING ON THE DOOR TO YOUR HEART AND I HEAR NO ANSWER?

HAVE YOU SO GROWN? NOT UP TO ME,,,, BUT AWAY?"

God, I hear, and I say,,,, not who is there, but HI, COME ON IN!!! Thank You for the knock, amen

John HIcks

Knock ,, knock,, now call to Him today,, and what will you say, when He says, "yes who is there"? CHOICE, CHOICE! FOR HE GAVE US FREE WILL TO MAKE ONE!

Thoughts fo

FRIDAY!!! TGED!!!! Went to sleep with a lot on my mine,,, woke with a lot answered by God during the night! What? You don't believe God works when you are sleeping ,, only when you are awake,, then we are not talking about the God I believe in!! Yes, my heart is again refilled as satan was pulling on the drain pluig of my mind,, then God ,, the soul plumber,,, came, and retreaded the drain plug, retighten it back to sealed, and pushed satan clean out of the way!!! Now to use His gift of uplifting to all I encounter,,, and I pray for those who just play with Christianity for their own gain, "For they may have gained the whole world, and actually,,, lost their life"

Today I am including from Mr. Billy Graham,,, his answer to a question ,,, I hope all will read this and think about it, and pass it on to others in your life,, and live for God first,, you, and the world last!! Have a great day, and remember ,, I love all ,,, with my Cross of Jesus Christ at my side,, who stands with you?

Q:

A friend of mine talks a lot about being a born-again Christian. I’m not sure exactly what she means. What is your definition of a born-again Christian?

A:

A born-again Christian is someone who has repented of their sins and turned to Christ for their salvation, and as a result has become part of God’s family forever. All this takes place as God’s Spirit works in our lives.

You see, by nature we aren’t members of God’s family, and we don’t have any right to inherit eternal life. The reason is because of our sin. We have rebelled against God, and because of that, the Bible says, we are “separated from the life of God … due to the hardening of (our) hearts” (Ephesians 4:18). No, you may not see yourself as a bad person (and you probably aren’t)—but in God’s eyes even one sin is enough to keep you out of heaven.

But Jesus Christ came to save us and to make us part of His family forever! He did this by dying for our sins on the cross and by conquering death through His resurrection. You see, as a human being you were born into a family—and nothing can ever change that. But when we come to Christ we are spiritually reborn into another family—the family of God. The Bible says to Christ’s followers, “You have been born again … through the living and enduring word of God” (1 Peter 1:23).

My prayer is that you too may be born again and become part of God’s family. By a simple prayer of faith, tell God that you know you are a sinner, and you are sorry for your sins. Then ask Christ to come into your life and save you. When you do, God will come to live within you by His Spirit, and you will be born again.

THANK YOU MR. GRAHAM....

OUT OF THE MOUTH!

Today at 7:34 AM

THURSDAY! Up and atta'em,, for God first,, life & you,, second! Now, probably some will say,,oh no!! I must plan my life, and of course I will include God ,,, just as soon as I get woke up real good,, and get going!!! BUT , one must remember, you are here, and you are awake,,, by His will,, and not ours!!! Remember that,,, as you rise and walk HIS earth also today!! One other thing,,, I hope and pray that the meeting with obama and the Pope,, that the Pope rubs off on obama,,, well,, I do believe in miracles,,don't you!

AND OUT OF MY MOUTH!!!

Today,, I ask you to think about this.....what as your brain is really thinking,, conscious, and unconscious,,,,and you open your mouth to speak,, to love ones, friends, or just meeting someone at a store, check out, passing someone in an aisle,,, in a parking lot...now think hard, close your eyes and think on this,, and I am sure you, like me,, will draw back and think real hard before uttering another word.....

For as you speak,, there is a spray that God has put floating in the air,, it is under pressure just as a can of hair spray,,, and as you open your mouth,, and words come out,, this spray will go off, and your words will be lite up,,, so not only do you hear them,, you have time, and others also...to actually see what you spoke,,, it might surprise you!!! Wait, I'm not through,, now that spay also goes off as your conscious, and unconscious "thoughts" occur in your brain,, and all of a sudden you are talking to someone, passing someone, up pops those thoughts , spelled out,, for all to see.. what would you do? Well, think about it,, those thoughts are actually being recorded, not by obama,,nor any part of the Government,,,, but by

THE CREATOR OF ALL,, WANT TO RETHINK YOUR MIND, AND YOUR COMMENTS?

for one day,, it will be pulled from that great library,,, and read outloud! Have you made the arrangements to make it go away? Arrangements? of Jesus Christ, that is how!

Lord, please forgive us all, for we all have sinned and come close to the lost of our eternal live, and our Savior... Keep us close to your heart by our request of love for You, and of Him. amen

John HIcks

Wow! I just keep looking up when I speak and think,, and I look to see if God has decided to spray my words for all to see!!! Cold chills,,, right?

NOTE: I have always said, I would never capitalize satan, for his name is not proper... so look today,, and see ,, and I judge not, but look only at the actions of the man and believe... see if you agree with my spelling today...( the office of the President,, I respect. but not the man! )

GOD IS FOR REAL!!!

Today at 6:28 AM

WEDNESDAY!!! Good morning! God is good! I have never seen nor heard of God being bad,, from a believer ,, a non-believer,,, yes! As I walk, I carry that "Cross" within my heart, my undying belief that He walks with me,, well, has to carry me a lot.. for I fall short of being what I need to be... but I am human.. but I know God,, and this morning, I ask each of you,, do you,, as you awake this morning??? What is that on your shoulder, is a little demon, or a "Cross"? ,,and your words,, do they testify of this "Cross"?

Prayer Request: For all to give out continued prayer for Joyce Powell and family, as her sister joined Jesus a few days ago....and as she has made her trip, I ask prayers for all the love ones,, who miss her.

THE DENIAL OF JESUS AND GOD!

This morning I just ask this question, and then you can click off this and continue to go to another page, scroll down, if you are on FB.. and as you do though,, please answer the question ,,,, for it is the MOST important question you will ever answer,, and I know , as one young lady told me once that her religion was private.,, and I respect that ,, but I ask you ,, are you private about your love for Jesus,, and your God...or will you say

"I DO BELIEVE IN HIM,,, AND I WILL SAY IT!!! AND I WILL SAY IT OUT LOUD!!!

AND I WILL DO THIS PUBLICLY AND IN A CROWD,, OF OTHERS!"

God ,. thank You for the words, and the ability to say this,, and I pray others will stand with me,,, and holler out Your precious Word!!! amen

John HIcks

Have a great day,, and don't forget to say to someone today "Yes, Jesus loves you!!

WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN GOD LATELY?

TUESDAY! Good Morning!!! Wow!!! Is life not good? With Jesus in my heart,, a good cup of hot coffee,, a good nights rest,,, opening my eyes ,,,, KNOWING that Jesus is setting by my side,, (been on guard all night).. ready for another one of His Fathers days, and He is so happy, as I am, that we have chosen each other!!! Who did you wake up with this morning?

WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN GOD LATELY?

John 3:16:17,,, 16.For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17.For God sent not His Son into the world to condem the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

NOW , THAT IS WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US!!! AND YOU,,, BACK TO HIM?

God, I know You have given the most good and the most love that can be given, and I pray ,,,we will all respond to that reading of Your Word, and give back our all to You... amen

John HIcks

Well? are you thinking about it? What you have given,, that is what !!!

GOD, THE REAL MAKER OF ALL!!!

Thoughts for Today

SUNDAY- And who awoke you this great morning? An alarm clock, someone,,,a noise, a child, or just enough sleep,, and your eyes opened slowly, and lazy? None of the above, for this day was planned and made by God Almighty,, and you awoke because it was His will,,,, and of nothing else!!! That is the ONLY reason, you or I awoke,, and He expects us to serve Him for this gift,, although there will be soooo many,,,, who just won't!!! But does He give up as quick as we do? No,, for He keeps on giving us day after day , to change, to come, to come to His Son,, Jesus Christ... to be saved,,,, before that day... for all of the waking things above,, was built by Him,, just as this Earth,, this Universe,,, every planet, every star , every comet, every breeze, every rain drop, every snowflake, every warmth of the sun,, the light of a full moon,, the very air that keeps you alive,, yes, it was He who made it,, and it did not become ,, with a "big bang",, it was He who made all!!!! .,, and as a real shocker to your ego,, you were not made until last!!!! Yes , HE made it all,, and then You,,, and ran all living creatures in front of you to name them,, how does it feel to know YOU were last in the making,

BUT,,, HE MOVED YOU TO FIRST ,, FOR HE MADE YOU IN HIS IMAGE AND WITH ALL HIS LOVE!!!!

and you, and I have failed Him in every way we can find, and He still loves us,, and waits on us to come,, yes come to Him,, through Jesus Christ,, the only way to Him,, our one only God!! Will You?

John HIcks

I have, and I will continue ,,, Will you march to His drum,, or will you continue to be " political proper",, and go to hell? Think about it, for it is in YOUR hands

GOT HIM,, OR NOT!

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

FRIDAY! TGED! Awake by the grace of God,, and proud to be awake and to serve Him as my Master of my all! Who is your master this day,,, God,, or things? Jesus is here, if you have not chosen Him,,,He is waiting, don't delay,, for through Him and the Cross, is the only way, you can go to Heaven,, so as you start your week-end off ,,,,this will give you something to think about!!!

Prayer Request: For Joyce Powells sister, who was rushed to the hospital yesterday and is the most serious condition of life,,, please pray for her and the family!

For all those souls on that missing plane,, where-ever they are!

Every day we need something to pick us up, give us a smile, and also give us a great message to go with it,, and below is one, I have read, and this morning, I really read it,, all of it.. so as you read,,, don't stop until the end,,, thanks to my good friend William McChargue for enlightening me, and you on this Friday!

Things You Can't do
1. You can't sneeze with your eyes open.
2. You can't think of two thoughts at once.
3. You can’t breathe through your nose with your tongue out.
4. You just tried number 3....
6. When you tried number 3 you realized that it is possible, but you looked like a dog.
7. You're now smiling because you were fooled.
8. You skipped number 5.
9. You went back to see if there was a number 5.
10. Now you will look inside.
I told you. You couldn't help yourself. But the odds are you will stop reading because this is about God. I know I’m right about this. Okay, so I was wrong. But I’m not wrong about this: You have to face God on Judgment Day and He considers lust to be adultery, hatred to be murder, and He warns that all liars will end up in Hell. That's how serious sin is to God. Have you lied, lusted (even once), stolen, or used God’s Name in vain? If you have, you will be guilty on Judgment Day and end up in a terrible place called “Hell.” However, the Bible says that God is rich in mercy, and in His great kindness provided a Savior, His son, named, Jesus! Jesus took the punishment for the sin of the world. He suffered on the cross so that we could be forgiven, and then He rose from the dead and defeated death. To receive everlasting life as a free gift, repent (turn from all sin) and trust alone in Jesus. Please do that now.

God, please bless all those above on the prayer list, and for those requests , unprinted here but sent to you by voice,,,,amen

John HIcks

May all have a great and blessed day,,,smile real big and have another one o f His days,,, given by His Grace and Love to you, and to me... I awoke with Him,, so I am off to a good one!!!!!!

OBEY GOD, BEFORE THYSELF!

MONDAY! Happy St Patricks Day ! Don't forget to wear a little green to "not get the pinch"!!! Also don't forget to take the Lord within everywhere you go to keep "the satan" in his place and that is out of your life,, for Jesus is the protective fence that surrounds one,,, if they make the choice of accepting Him!! Yes, the choice,,,and that choice is yours and yours alone!

Prayer Request: Betty May's son Dennis May. He goes to Baltimore for Cancer tests today at the University of Maryland Hospital on his lungs and colon. Dennis has had most of his colon and one of his lungs removed already. Please pray for God to touch him and to heal him completely. Pray also that Dennis will come to know and trust Jesus as his own personal Savior.

TOUCH ME , OH LORD!

This is something we should all pray for!!! We pray, and we pray,,, for different things, and lots are for others, other things, things, ourselves, for God to prevail within us.. for God to take care of us..for God to walk with us, for Jesus to save us!!!! Yes, WE pray for many, many different things.....and IF we will just pray for

ALL OF US TO OBEY HIM, ACCEPT JESUS AS OUR SAVIOR, THEN live like we should, cut out the back biting, leave our teeth to chew our food, and not our counterparts, and our tongues to taste the food of life,,, and quit spouting out accusations of what others are doing wrong, and look in the mirror of our own life,, then have the knowledge to correct what we see wrong in that reflection,,, and then take care of Gods plan for us, and as above,,, obey God,, then we would be shouting out with

GLEE... RATHER THAN LORD,,, LORD TOUCH ME,, OVER HERE, OVER HERE,,, LORD,, LORD,,,ME,, ME!!!!!!

We are all blessed,, we just don't always see it...we are sooo busy working, doing things of this world, we forget about "the things of His world"....notice the quotes,, for we are in HIS WORLD,,, so we need to stop,,, yes stop now,,,take a moment to reflect on just what do you have,,, it may be millions of dollars. riches in that ,,,and it may be you are looking for the next meal, a warm place to lay your head, but that little beat, beat, you hear, and feel within......... is His blessing to us,,, a beating heart,,, A LIFE, blessed to just be able to live,, and a chance to return the blessing,, by serving Him.... so do stop this day,, if just long enough to say,, "THANK YOU GOD FOR MY ALL", and then listen for the reply,,for it may or may not be instance,, but it is recorded instantly, then lined up by Him ,,,and for real,,, it will be answered, and it will be good,,,, for you and your eternal life!!! Now as you talk to God,,,

SMILE, AND REALIZE,, YOU ARE BLESSED, MORE THAN YOU THINK!!

God I ask that You bless those above mentioned, and that includes the ALL mention,, for I put all my trust in You, and my life is Yours.. amen

Yesterday,,,, as I labored in my yard,, giving His garden just a little cleaning,, He blessed me, and this morning ,, I am not in the pain I have been,,,His blessings are coming on in,, by HIS Schedule,,, not mine... so people have faith,,, for HE is alive, and well, ,and responding,, BUT REMEMBER ,,, He has Trillions to watch over, and we are but one little ant on the beach of the grains of sand,,,and time will not run out,,, for you, if you have received Him,, for He is eternal,, the beginning, and the end,,so trust, love, and just let him have the reins of your life, make a decision, for Him!!!!!

TUESDAY! I awake with the faith of my God at my side, who did you wake up with? and first things first, I today want to start off this great day with wishes of a "Happy Birthday" to my wife Libby! and then to say to all,, I wish that all were as blessed as I am!! May He bless you today!!!!

PRAYER REQUEST: For those 33 North Koreans that are or have been by now, executed by Kim Jong-um for being Christians. Have the Roman days gone,,, no, only moved to other places ..

For Pam Burnettes Uncle Joe, who is in the hospital and on a ventilator,, please pray for him and the family.

WE ARE SOOOO BLESSED,, AND DON'T EVEN KNOW IT!

I am saying, we can be Christians or we can not be,, and our government can do nothing to us,,,, we are free to worship out in the open, in our closet, in our churches, on a porch, anywhere(except in a government office , except in silence)... so we are very blessed, and we should be using this freedom,, instead of whining of all we don't have, and I being one of those,, we need to thank GOD every day of our lives... for look at those 33 in North Korea,,, could you, or would you stand up for God, knowing that a Mental Nut,, was in charge and that life to him is of no importance,,, and that he will kill you if you smile at the wrong time? I don't mean ,, say yes,, but in reality,,, ,would you?????

I think not!!!!!! We should all in this great country fall to our knees and shout and pray His Name, for what we have, and stop the whinning,,, for

YES, WE ARE SOOOO BLESSED, AND I DO KNOW IT!!! DO YOU?

God, thank You for my all, and please Lord, continue to forgive us, me, and be with those in those countries , such as North Korea,, watch over them, and bless them with all of your love.... amen

So greatly blessed,,, and I must say, with my hip, leg hurting, I still want to say,, Thank You God ,, for I still am walking... so what more could I ask for? May God bless each of you with all His love this great day of His!!!!!

CASTING THE STONE!

Today at 7:29 AM

SUNDAY! Good morning,, yes, it is an hour later by the clock! I am already behind,, and I would love to have this time ,, year round! Yes, EDST! Once you get use to it,, it is great,, but to some,, just plain ole EST is best!! All to their own feel, and their belief just as below..

KNOW WHEN TO HOLD IT,, OR JUST LAY IT DOWN!

How many of us question the acts of another,, quick to jump to an accusation? Accusation,, finger pointing ,, judging,, no matter how big,, or how small,, is judging someone else of their actions... Only one that I know can do this.. He is sin free,, Jesus Christ..

Read John 8-1-11. I can close my eyes and see Jesus, bent to the ground , writing calmly , as a crowd brings to Him the woman , who had been caught committing adultery. The crowd screaming! Who can calmly, just bend down, and look up and tell you something calm,,, when the noise of the crowd (like a lynch mob) sounding off like a million buzzes of bees.. and make a point so big and so true,, that it turns the crowd around in an instance.. stopped,, minds starting to work,, judging themselves quickly,,, as they dropped the stones to the ground one by one, and leaving the grounds,, oldest first, for as they reflected ,,they could see,, they had more on their souls than the young,, Read this scripture,, then ask the question,,, are you walking around with a stone in your hand,, or have you laid it down,, answer yourself,, for you are the one carrying it... now

CARRY IT ON TO HEAVEN AND HAVE GOD ASK, WHY YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR HAND, WHO IS THE REAL JUDGE?

or just lay it down and judge not! It can be easy,,, if you will just stop, and remember Jesus' words on that day "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her"!

Lord , forgive me for my judgments of others,, and may I become truly one of Yours , and not one with a stone in my hand,, amen

John HIcks

I have cast many,, and some I have cast ,, I knew I was wrong as I spoke,, have you ever done this,, But now as I pick up a stone,,, I have someone to place a hand on my shoulder and help me lay it back on the ground.. where is your
