DEMONS ON THE PROWL!

You say what? Yes, my friends , they have always been on the prowl... looking for souls to steal,, just like yours, and mine,, and I feel like they are getting too many... why is this,, for we are standing by with our eyes closed, and our mouths closed,, sitting on our calloused butts,, making excuses for them,, from the lowest of characters, to the highest of characters,, from the common man, to the highest of offices, elected and otherwise,,, I feel like satan is on holiday in our land,, and we must not let him keep celebrating,,, It is time we stopped this,, and the only way to do it, is get off of our "politically correct butts" and do it.. tell this nation, and tell the world,,, that YES , we are a Christian Nation, and YES, WE ARE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, AND THAT GOD IS FIRST IN OUR LIVES,, AND WE PROFESS IT WITH AUTHORITY OF HIM!
Now IF WE ALL,, WILL DO THIS, and I mean stand tall,, and not back-down from these so called fads of young and old,, of being liked and popular.. it can be done,, we can trap these demons,,, we can stop them , and send them right back to hell where they belong,, Call out to Jesus ,, for HE IS OUR TRAP,, BELIEF IN HIM,, AND THEY WILL BE TRAPPED AND SENT BACK.... but be aware,, some of them,,, may be your friends,, so be prepared.. when you jump on this ship ...

ALL DEMONS OF HELL MUST GO!

Lord, I pray that you will hear our cry out of the wilderness of this sinful nation, and give us the strength we pray for and send the demons of satan right back into the hole of hell where they belong.. amen

John HIcks
ON a roll of standing ,,standing for my God,, standing against sin, and the ones who cause it ,, no matter who they are! Come join me in this crusade against satan ,,, IF YOU DARE HAVE THE NERVE TO DO SO,, do you ? Well stand up and shout it out, if that NERVE IS WORKING!

THE ROCK

Wednesday: The ole "hump day" & for all planning a big week-end,,,right? Well as you slide down from the hump this week,, plan on doing your independence celebration for this year, not only with friends and relatives, but with Jesus at your side. It makes a slicker, smoother slide and with no splinters,,, sounds like a good idea, huh? Have a great slide!

Prayer Request: For one of ours here in Yatesville, Ga.- Katie Mulling Moore reports-Well did not get a very good report from my dads (Tommy Mulling) heart cath today. He has a 60% blockage on the front side of his heart and a 90% blockage on the back side of his heart. He was admitted in Medical Center of Central Georgia today...plans are to do Dialysis tomorrow...and Bypass surgery on Thursday or first thing on Friday morning. Please keep Tommy in your prayers !!!

THE ROCK!

Have you ever taken a sledge hammer and hit a great big old rock? Well , I have, and that first hit,, will almost bounce right back into your face(if you hit It hard enough) or off to the side in a flash,, and when you look at that old big rock,, it will barely have a dent in it! Then you can hit, and hit,, without a drilled hole and a stick of dynamite,, that old rock is just going to sit there and be seen, and proudly not be destroyed...
Now ,, take that same ole sledge hammer to the beach with you.. yes ,, draw back and hit the sand,, then try to pull that heavy sledge hammer back up,, re-hit that sand,, and what do you get? A hole that does not stay a hole, the sand just falls back and the hold is small, and not stable... not like the rock,, a little water , or wind,, the hole is completely gone,, and all you have left is sand in between your toes, and a sledge hammer to take back to the car or truck ... just a nothing but a heavy load,, right?
Now,, see why Jesus said the parable about where to build your house,, on a rock , or on sand, and this parable is truth as to who you want your religion with....

JESUS , THE ROCK, AND THE FOREVER,

OR

satan, the sand and blown or washed away...??????

God, thank You for the Rock , Jesus that You sent us to have so that we don't sink on our way to You,, amen

John HIcks
I once walked in the sand,,and wow , did I sweat a lot,, just pulling one foot up and out in front of the other one,, but once I accepted Jesus,, my ground got hard,, just like that big ole rock,, and folks ,, I been walking with a high step ,, ever since! When you are walking, are you high stepping,, or dragging through the sand? Call out for , and accept Jesus, and come high stepping with me? Will you? You know it's your choice and only yours... so make it now!

IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND FOR THESE THOUGHTS, PLEASE SEND ME A NAME AND ADDRESS,, I WILL CONTACT THEM AND THEY WILL NEVER KNOW WHO REQUESTED THEM .. IT IS A DUTY TO SPREAD HIS NAME.. SO DIG DEEP, AND SURELY YOU KNOW SOME... PLEASE THANK ABOUT IT, AND HIT THE KEYS... o.k.?

DECISON TIME!

Tuesday: As I looked out into the darkness this morning , I closed my eyes, and behold, it was as if the morning Sun had readily rose, instantly,,, as I reopened them, it was dark,, so I re closed and thanked Him in advance for the preview of the coming of another of His days.. and thanked Him for the night of rest and all He has given me... what did you see this morning, as you opened,, and then re closed your eyes for a wake up morning prayer? You did re close them and gave Him a thank you for the night and all you have and the actual act of waking ,,,didn't you?

Prayer Request : Pray thanks,, for all we have, even when we really don't deserve, but got it all anyway!

DECISION TIME!

Just short and sweet this morning! Have you made your commitment to the Lord God? Have you accepted Him, and let it be known publicly? Have you called out to Jesus to come,, to come into your heart and your soul and give it to Him 100%? For you cannot do a half-way job on this one,, it is all the way , or non of the way... If you have not,, then the time is at hand,, for we all walk this earth as a lite candle,, we could go out in a slight breeze or just burn up our wax,, and you know a wick won't burn without a little wax.. so if you have not called out for Jesus ,, do it now! Call out to Jesus,, & ask Him in, for He will not refuse you,, He will come rushing in,, like a clean , fresh soothing summer breeze,, with a big smile on His face, and a bigger one on our Heavenly Father....and believe me, you will feel Him as He puts His arms around you! If you have already accepted, and would like to just stop and ask Jesus to give you a "re-cleaning",, then do so,, for He likes to hear from you when not begging for some kind of "material"... just kinda a "between you and Him talk".. so yes folks ,,, it is

DECISION TIME ,,, NOW,, NOT LATER,, FOR LATER IS TOO LATE!

Lord, thank You for all you have given us, and YES,, we all accept You , is my prayer for today! amen

John HIcks
I have accepted at the age of 12,, and been back on my knees for Jesus to forgive me so many times , I can't count,, but the one thing, I know ,, is that I am His, and He has forgiven me... do you know that? If not, then, you need to come and really accept Him within your own....

PRAY

Monday- We all survived the w/e. Now back to work, and some rest! Yes , rest from the trying to fit lifetimes into a w/e,,, it just can't be done... for as long as you live,, MONDAY , will roll around every seven days,, but then there will be the day, when it won't.. so don't dread it,, while you have the gift of it,,,,,,live it!

About Me: I am released to go back to the shop, in the yard,, do anything I can,, but easy start up... The doctor, at last diagnosed , light case of the shingles.. and as I read up on them,, I pray, I never get them again! Only to the last of the stages could they diagnose them, but the Lord intervened and here I am ,,ready to go,, by His Grace,,, thanks to all for the prayers and concern.

PRAY!

Today, I want to be short on words,, but make them big words.. Do you pray? Really pray. You know the kind you just get right down to the one on one,, close to God type ... you know,,just you and Him...? We need to,,,, for it is time,,, closer than we think,, we need to be praying for this nation with all our energy, and for this world... Look around,, you may say that it is doing great,, we are on the right track,, well I just want to end this,,, with this,,,
Look at your elected ,,, look at the laws passed,,, look and see if you see Sodom,, look for Gomorrah,,,, then if you don't see it ,, then turn off your T.V. , throw away your newspaper,, for you are blind,, for I see sins getting the headlines,,, what do you really see and what do you really feel... am I wrong,, in saying , folks ,, it is starting.. better to be a Boy Scout, than not... be prepared.... join the right side,,, and walk towards Him,,, and get on your knees NOW.. for sin is rushing, like a tidal wave, and watch with the last law passed , it will gain height, and force... so today,, I , elected officials,, hang my head in knowing of most of you. As for you the good ones,, you must tread on, even in the mud, you , and God , are our hope for this nation...
So,, today , I ask all to do something,, pray, but pray, not for self, but for His forgiveness and to tell Him of your love for Him!

God,, I pray that you forgive this nation, this world.. and Lord, I ask that all come together as you intended them to ,,, from the beginning... amen

John HIcks
I have said my belief,, and I leave all others to their belief, for it is between them and their God.

I lied,, not too short on words today,, sometimes,, my fingers just keep on walking,, good guide!

FOR WHEN I FALL

SUNDAY- Welcome to the Sabbath Day! Here's something to ponder on this morning: We can tell more about a person from what he or she says about others than we can about what others say about him or her! We usually show us, when we open our mouth and engage our tongues, right?

Prayer Request: For today,, when we pray, let's just stop, look at ourselves, and thank God for all He has given us, and then pray for Him to give relief, wellness, forgiveness to all the others of this world, and part of what we have to those in need...

FOR WHEN I FALL

From an infant to our days of aging,,, we fall down,, as an infant , most of the time it is just a thump, a grin, and back up and walking.. then it is a child,, running, falling,, getting bruises,, or just falling down a grassy hill with friends and laughing as we get to the bottom with green stains on our knees, and then there is adulthood,, maybe a fall or a trip , not much harm,, just a scratch,, up and on to where-ever.. then there is old age,, back to like an infant to most part,, you fall,,, but now ,, that thump,,breaks something.. ouch.. yes , we all fall down at all times during our life...
How about the fall down of faith? Yes , we can all fall different ways, but when it comes to belief in God, Jesus and the Resurrection,, born again,, we all fall the same,, by the wayside,,, we all have at one time or another been on that sandy part of the stream,, almost being washed downstream to who knows where,, but for a reason, we grasped , until we were washed up on the bank, far enough to grab hold and began to root.. and then grow... thank God for the reason of our growing from that root , to the reality of Him... Then we come , fully to Him on bending knees, accepting His Son ,, Our Savior, Jesus Christ,, we are his, exactly where the root started,,
But until we reach that full growth, seasons of blooming , we tend to let out leaves, and blooms , just fall where ever,, not sharing the beauty of ourselves to others,, receiving the rain, the water from the stream.. until the day comes, when the stream dries almost up,, no rain, the trees have grown taller,, and more shade than sun,, then we wilt, just like falling,, we are at the mercy of our Lord as to live or die... but not like the flower that wilts away,, we have a choice. to grasp hold of Jesus, accept Him as our life, and live forever... for then He is our stream, our rain, our sunshine,, and instead of wilting, or falling down, we rise and shine for all to see,, if we have that faith, and if we accept... do you want to be the weed on bank of a dried up stream, or a flower in Jesus' garden of paradise,, right beside His, and His Fathers?

FOR NOW, I KNOW HOW TO GET UP, WHEN I FALL!

God, thank You for Your insight of life You gave us,, I pray that all realize it and use it. amen

John HIcks
More scars on my knees than most,, and even though they hurt , I still kneel to my God and my Jesus,, and HE STILL PICKS ME UP, AND HOLDS ME ! Who holds you up? Have you bent any knees lately?

HE IS, HE WILL

Saturday, welcome to it... I hope all have a great day, and I cannot remind each ,, to take God with you every where you go,, He walks, rides, crawls, flies with you anywhere , never complains, kinda clears the way, and protects you from sin,, but never will you hear Him complain,,wow,,that's better than anyone else I know,, so include Him along,, o.k. ?

Prayer Request: Millie, who has had hip replacement,, she is still in pain and her hip is really swelled,, quite a bit,,and she has an intestinal infection , please pray for her recovery all around...

He us the alpha and the omega! The beginning, The end!

He will always be Himself,,, unchanged, undefeated, never outdid or undone!

He will always be in waiting ,, for you and me.. for any call that we may utter.. for He will hear each!

He wil return to this earth, one day,, a time of only His Father knows, return for us

He is Jesus Christ,, my, your,, every ones Redeemer, our savior from satan , hell , & sin,,, our road to salvation with the Father of all,,, our one and only LIVING GOD!

HE IS , ALIVE, AND HE IS WELL! COME TO HIM TODAY,, AND WORSHIP HIM!

FOR HE IS JESUS CHRIST!

God, thank You for Jesus, and Your plan of salvation for us,, may all realize it, see it , and accept it, today .amen

John HIcks
Honored to know Him,,, to serve Him , in any way I can. Will you serve Him, will you accept Him? PLEASE!

LAST ACTION HERO!

TGED, TGIF, FRIDAY, You have finally arrived, and just in the nick of time, for the week-end is at hand! So, Jesus , you got us here,, and I ask very kindly,, "will You carry us on through this week-end, and the rest of our life?" I am asking you, and I ask all who reads this to give out this invitation .. for look at what He has given us all thus far in our lives! Wow!

LAST ACTION HERO!

I was looking on T.V. and saw a preview of a movie , "The Last Action Hero", and I remembered it and it was not a particular good movie,, my opinion. Then , I started thinking about what a hero really is... here's Websters answer.
hero: a figure in mythology,,,and legend for renowned and exceptional courage and fortitude.
Now , here is mine, and it is a fact and not mythology,, is can be a legend of ones actions of past.. and it can be just right in the present... but it is one who gives of ones self, over and beyond that of most, in an emergency... even to their death, without thought nor the asking of any thing in return, but just the success of their act!
Now , I can , and you can also , pull up many, many hero's in this nation, and also of days of old,, before this nation was even thought of, much-less born, and these are true hero's to all of us.. to a point,, for theirs was for some... not all.
but I know of only one true , true hero, that started out knowing what his fate was from birth.. and lived with it through his entire life, and even predicted it, told his best followers of it, but no one believed him. Yes, he was a living hero in his own time, but no one knew, walking breathing, trying to cut through all the riff raft, the death, the tortures, the worst kind of people that walked this earth, and walked through all the best of the people also, of this earth,, walked with the rich, the poor, the sick,,, and was always true to the people , fought the devil one on one ,, yes , even in person he fought satan.. and won.... then after all this in this world,, he let the people put him on a cross, made of wood,,, nail him to it while still alive, with spikes, in his hands , and feet.. cut him in his side, put a crown of thorns ,not only on his head , but pushed them down into the scalp , and then pushed this cross,, while he is still alive now... into a hole, already dug for it to fit... thump, bam, down into the hole with a thug and a bounce,, oh how that must have felt... then the last drink from man,,,,,, lifted high on a sponge,, VINEGAR! Can you imagine this? Can you even think of YOU doing this for all the people of the world, and for those to come.. to have this done to you, and then at last,, look up to God and ask for the forgiveness of all?
Now folks, this is not a tale,, it not mythology, it is a legend of reality, and that reality is still here, now,,,that lives on today,, and I mean "alive, and well"... folks this is

THE LAST ACTION HERO , WE HAVE HAD HERE!

JESUS!

and He lives ,, yes Jesus, my hero, Jesus of all hero's,, lives today! Do you believe ?

God Almighty,, thank You for Your Son, and His loving powers and sacrifices. amen

John HIcks
I just wish everyone would put Jesus up as their own and personal hero...don't you?
