SATURDAY! On this day, 72 years ago, the Japanese Empire attacked our shores, killing thousands, and as a quote from one Japanese commander said, I am afraid, afraid that we have awoken a great, great giant! He was right, The United States of America responded and bought them to their knees,, with God on our side, we won ! Thank God for this great victory! Prayer Request: Let us bow our heads in reverence for the Military Men, and Women that have gone to these wars, fought and died , for our freedom that we have this day... God bless these Men, and Woman, for those still with us, and those you have wrapped your arms around, thank you God for them all. For Libby HIcks, who just cannot kick this "flu" like systoms.. very weak, and can't keep food down... last of her meds. today... then Monday, off to teh doctor! Please pray this will pass! UNLOAD YOUR WAGON! We as humans , carry a load with us during each minute of our awake days, and some carry it with them , even when they sleep. This load carries a hurt to our minds, our heart, our vital organs through out our bodies... we must unload this wagon.. You can go to the doctor, get medication that will help you deal with this tension, this load, that has reached on some , to an almost "tip over" of the load.. then you are in more trouble than just trying to pull an overload. So, how do you stop being a mule of labor? Seek the team that is harnessed, and ready to pull your load.. that team is,, first God,,, then His Son , Jesus, the better medicine! All you have to do is to stop what you are doing,, if you are driving down the road , pull over,,, if you are walking down the sidewalk, on the road, through the woods, a park,, STOP! If you are with someone, ask them to stop with you, they will wait, and might just join in,, don't be embarrassed,, but smile with abandonment,, and just say,,,, Jesus come , come and save me from all this load , this load of sins,,, , forgive me,, I accept You as my Lord and Savior! It will feel like you are a dump truck , instead of that little pick-up,, for Jesus and God will automatically dump those sins,, kick ole satan in the butt, and start your life over,, it will be some work on your part, by doing something you may not be use to,,, that is having faith, walking with Him, and not the old crowd that has helped put you there, but one thing also,, you talking the talk of God to those friends and all others... so go ahead,, put the brakes on , Pick Up The New Load Of Jesus Christ, as your cargo,,, and let Him push the dump button and UNLOAD YOUR WAGON! God, I pray that you will grab the wagons of those who need you , and carry their loads as they request.. forgive them of their sins,,, and forgive us all .. and thank You for Your force that keeps this nation free.. amen John HIcks I am proud of this Nation, and I pray that we will continue to keep God at the head of our nation, instead of a door mat, as some of our leaders have and are doing, pray with me that our leaders will do a turn around, and they will ,, with a lot of our help,,, prayers and at the voting booth!

FRIDAY! TGED! Good morning on this, another of God's great days, given to us with all the love that we can imagine, and then some! HE,, let's this world sleep and awake daily, and without His guiding hands, we would surely be doing it backwards, sideways, and x ways.. and really,, without Him, there would be no days!... What do you think? Yes, we are human, and we must repent, and let's all do it together , just as you read this, stop reading, and ask God to forgive our sins up to now, and to guard us against satan in our future! Will you do this? May God bless each one of you out there this day! John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. SPEAKING OF AND TO Read the verse, and you may say, yes, I have drank the water of life, that of the blood of Jesus,, and when you read and say this, ,,,,,,ask yourslelf ,,,, really? Do I speak of Him in public with ease, or do I speak with a little drawn back for not wanting to offend someone? When you drink the water from His well,, you will never let your tongue hold back on the love from HIm, of Him, and you willl testify of Him for the remainder of your life.. so drink, and shout the praise of Him,, yes DRINK THE EVERLASTING WATER FROM HIS WELL, AND LIVE! Lord, thank You for allowing me to drink from Your well.. and I pray that all will drink, and I pray for peace on this earth... amen John HIcks Are you saved , really saved this day? Only you can answer this question ,,, for we all are sinners and we all come close to eternal death..but by the glory of Jesus, we will all live! Have a great Friday, and again, may God bless you in all you do, with Him at your side. CHOICE!

Today at 6:24 AM THURSDAY! Good morning God,,, thank You for my great night, and my great awakening, and my life,, I thank You for my all! Now, I ask, how did you wake up this morning? With or without,, Him? Having Him there by request, is your choice, Him being there anyway,, waiting for your request,,, is His choice! Prayer Request: For Liz Lemmings, who is in the bed with these "flu like" symptoms that are going around to so many,, please pray for her recovery, and all those others who are suffering from this also! Your Head Bowed , Inside, or Just Outside? When you are ready for a prayer,, called upon to pray, or in a crowd , and the words are "bow your heads, and let us pray".. Do you bow on the outside, or do you bow with the opening of your heart to God outside, and inside, the words "let us pray".. do you listen, really listen, and do you amen this prayer as you are a part of it.. or do you just sit back down, or put your hat on, and go about what-ever you were thinking about? We all tend to wander,, when listening to someone else pray, but we should not,, we should listen , and listen closely, for we are part of that pray as the prayer prays, and we must decide if that prayer is within our commitments.. so you should listen carefully, or don't participate! Some will not agree with me,, but I feel like anytime you talk to God, it should be taken very seriously, and prayers should be brief and not wailing, for wailing becomes wailing.. but that is the way I feel.. and you have your own way, of feeling of how to pray. I think we should regress more to "The Lords Prayer",,, It covers all. For it is YOUR DECISION OF HOW TO PRAY, AND ALSO TO WHOM! HEAD BOWED OR NOT! God, I ask for you to continue to teach us how to pray and pray with the keeping within the guide line prayer You have already given us... amen John HIcks Praying for the "Thoughts For Today", be from Him, and of Him,, to each who reads, and I feel He does answer,,,Have a great day with our God, as always,, and stay close to Him,,, for He is right beside you! Oh, yes!!!! He is!

WEDNESDAY! Good morning on this day of the "camel"! Yes , you are here today, planning for the week-end,, and a big time,,, shopping to do...all kinds of things happening during this time of our lives , for it is the upcoming of two great holidays... one Christmas, and the other is the starting of a new calender year..where we make all kinds of new promises to ourselves... and most of the time, ,kept only for a short period of time.. Well today, is the day to make the ultimate sacrifice that is not a sacrifice, but a delight,, for it is the day of giving God your life,,, and this day is for all of us,, for even if we have done this before, do it again, and if you have never done it, do it today.. lets all ask Jesus into our hearts... give him our soul,,, and ask Him to be with us for all times, and then see the change and feel that change also, ,and then go from here , this instance and LIVE LIKE HE WANTS YOU TOO... AND THAT YOU PROMISED TO LIVE AS! Lord, today is short, but You have instilled into my heart, and words on my tongue of the most important promise to ever make,, and that of accepting Your son, Jesus as our one and our only Savior, for ever and ever. amen John HIcks Have a great new day as you complete the acceptance or the re-acceptance of Jesus Christ,, and then walk with Him at your side, and on your tongue ,, in all you do,, for your actions will be reviewed,,, by our Heavenly Father, creator of all!!!

Today at 7:04 AM TUESDAY! For this day,,, as we wake, let's all commit to taking our daily journeys with Jesus,,, and let Him be our influence, and our guide as to what we choose to do, and what we choose to talk about, and that way, it will be a clean journey, and clean words spoken this day! Join me in this daily journey each and every day! THE START OF MAN,,, THE START OF WO-MAN In the beginning,, Genesis:2:7, the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. After the beginning had started, Genesis 2:18, The Lord God said , "It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a help suit-able for him. Genesis 2: 21-23: So the Lord God caused the man to fall unto a deep sleep: and while he was sleeping , he took one of man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman', for she was taken out of man." Now in the beginning, God created Heaven and Earth,, He created Man, and He created Woman.. I believe , do you?Man, count your ribs!, best deal ever given to "man"! and remember GOD MADE ALL! God, thank You for us, and the use of Your earth, and Your promises,,, amen John HIcks Have a great day, and as always take God with you, and keep Him in your heart always, for He is the maker of all, and we did not evolve!!!! We were made of God, and in His image!!!!!!!!!!

Today at 6:24 AM MONDAY! Welcome to the start of another week,,,, yes Monday is called "blue",, for those who have to get up early, and go off to work,, and for those who have just landed a job, after being without one for quite a while, it is a glorious day, colored bright,, and if you are without a job, and are looking, then you are dreaming of this day,, that you too will be off to work,, so for all, this is a great and bright day of sunshine, temperature is just right for the season... and all is a gift given to us each day,,, no birthdays, holidays, Christmas,, but a daily gift, and that is the bread of life,,, our one, and only, our JESUS CHRIST! Prayer Request: For all of those in need, for God knows all, and God responds to all,, and all we need to do is pray, and then have "faith"... so pray with knowing, the prayer will be answered, and hopefully, we will reconize the results,, but be sure ,, the answer will come! SEASON OF THE GIFTS! This is the time of each year, that most people are out pounding the pavement,, on the Internet looking to buy and to find gifts for family, friends, and co-workers....and will even go into debt for the privilege of getting the best.. the one gift that will light up the eyes, and that all want.. but , maybe we need to start pounding the pavement, writing on the wireless network,, the sounding and the writing of the ultimate gift that any can receive... the only one paid for already, and is free to you, and to me... yes,, given so you can have everlasting life, no more looking for that fountain of youth,,, for with this gift , you will live forever.. well... will you do this for me,, and spread the word,,, it is a celebration of the virgin birth of our Lord and Savior,,, Jesus Christ,, and that is all we need to search for ,, our Christ, and do you have this ULTIMATE GIFT OF ALL TIMES! AND WILL YOU CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS, AND CALL IT THAT! Lord , thank You for our all, and for that ultimate gift,,, Jesus Christ! amen John HIcks For God so loved this world, He gave His only Son. WOW,, what love! Today pray for Jesus to come into your heart, and love as God did, and let it show!!!!

SUNDAY! Good morning to all.... and I pray that all are awake with the request of God at your side,, and when yu go shopping this season, and being the 1st of Dec.. the season is here,, you shop and you celebrate with the real reason,, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.... now , go out there and have a great day!!! Prayer Request: For Christine White, who was found unconsonsuos in her bathroom , last night, rushed to the hospital.. pray for her wellness! For , Dana, and her family,, still all are suffering,, Terri, who is getting some of it also...and me,, wow,, I can hardly swallow...it has hit us and pray that God will let it run it's course quickly... thank you all... Faith Again! I have touched on this word before,, faith, (Webster: belief in the value , or trustworthiness of someone or something). This little word , believe it or not is the one word that can get you into Heaven or let you down to hell.. for it is the truth , without it , you will not get through that gate into Heaven.. You must believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ,, that not only is He alive, but that our God is alive also, with all your heart and soul,, total commitment, your all... yes,, that is the faith that will get you there.. nothing else. Once you accept Jesus by faith, you are on your way.. Peter had faith to start with,,, when Jesus told him to step off the boat and onto the water.. faith to start, then fright as he felt the wind, and started to sink, faith lost,, Lord save me, and Jesus immediately reach out His hand and said , "You of little faith, why do you doubt?" (Matt. 14:31) We as humans are quick to doubt,, lose our faith for just a second,, and that can be a second to much,, for if Jesus had not reached for Peter,, Peter would have sunk,, maybe drowned.. had the faith to step onto the sea , not the faith to also face the wind,, just one more hurdle between him and Jesus. How about you ? Do you have the faith to step upon the sea, walk with Jesus, face the wind,, ? It takes but "that" of "that little seed", remember? You have it,, you just have to learn to trust in Him, when using it.. it will work ,, not for things of selflessness, but what God has in His plan for you. so , call out , accept Jesus and be reborn in the blood of Jesus Christ, recieve Him by FAITH,, AND LIVE FOREVER, IN HIS KINGDOM! God , grant us faith to come to You by way of Your Son , Jesus, and may we walk with that faith until the time to come.. amen John HIcks I have learned to walk ,for even as an adult, Ithought I was walking,, until I met and accepted Christ, for then and there, I could see my back trail ofnot steps, but knee prints, and once I cried out,, I was lifted to my feet, and walked not down, but alongside of Him.. Will you cry out now for the rescue of your soul if you have not.. choice is yours, by faith!
