BEING THANKFUL!

Thoughts For Today-Tuesday-02/03/15 (4) People me To me Today at 7:11 AM TUESDAY! I have awoken to another of His days, by His mercy, and His good will,,,and to serve Him in a good way,,, and folks ,,,that is why I am alive and up this morning,, just how did you wake up? The same way, even if you don't realize it, He is for real!!!! We, today are off to another of Libby's therapy, and she is improving so very much, thank God for His work!!! Prayer Request: Thomas Osborns' dad, went to ER with leg swelling real bad! Dana Stephens dad who is in the Medical Center in Macon, GA. Marjorie Walden as she enters her surgery, for God to guide the drs. JoAnn House Samples, that God will revoke satan from her and David and deliver to her all her needs, for we know that satan will try us over and over,, and as JoAnn keeps her faith. let us pray with her... for God to show up full force !!!! and give her relief!!!!! and we know He will! Lots to pray for today, our wants and our and those of others needs.. so let us pray, without ceasing!!! Prayer of Thanks: For the Yatesvile water meter reporter. who looked at my meter, realized that we were using much , much to much water,,, went and reported to our city clerk, Connie Vaughn,, and upon looking and seeing we had used 22,000 gallons more,, her husband Jim Vaughn, undertook the trek to come to us at once..so we could close our meter, and get our leak fixed! Now, you may live in place of "no care", but we do live in a place call,,,,"A CARING COMMUNITY",,, and this proves it once more, and I say to them all thanks, and I also say, a big thanks to God for them , and here!!!! Another Prayer of Thanks: Names are not to be present here , just me and friend!!!! As I set yesterday , all day in pj's, figuring out why I was here, and why I should do anything, as I wasted a day of God's gift,, and then the phone rang, a great and good friend called, and after a great conversation, I again was back to myself and knowing just where , and why I was here! Have you ever had this happen to you, if you have, then do as I did, say "thank You God!, and thank You for this friend and Your guidance of this event".. and the rest was easy, go to work for Him! God, today, I have asked and you have once more gave me the answers.. and now I say to You God, thank You for Your answer, so simple and yet so missed by so many..again, God thanks to You,,, for the answer! amen John HIcks AND WHAT WAS THAT ANSWER, SO SIMPLE, SO EASY,, FOR HE SAID, WHY ARE YOU THERE ON MY EARTH, ALIVE? TO SERVE ME! Well to all who reads this???? What else can it be.. for He gave me Jesus , to make sure I was with to eternity, and the on, and on.. so yes folks it is that simple, SERVE HIM!

GET ON THE SOAPBOX OF GOD!

MONDAY! Good to wake up with the Lord Jesus, and accepting Him as your only way to God, and Heaven, that is to stay up there!!! and to put Him in charge of the highway that you travel through this life! If you have made this choice, you have made a choice of a "lifetime eternal!". if not, you still have time to do it,,,right this second,,, maybe longer, maybe not! but it is certainly YOUR CHOICE!!!!! Prayer Request: That the world will turn to God, accept Jesus as the Savior of this world, and the only way to God, is by Him! Let this world be your soapbox, and I ask for all to pray for more REAL CHRISTIANS to move to that soapbox, STEP UP ON IT, AND GIVE TESTIMONY TO THE WORLD! God, thank You for this life, Your guidance of it,, and as I have accepted Jesus, I look forward to meeting you, instead of dreading it. amen John HIcks Servant Only.

SUNDAY! Good morning this great day of the Lord!! This, today will have to be short,, as after the going under the house yesterday, no sleep, last night, just toss and turn, up at three, drinking coffee,, walking very unsteady, and dizzy,, I will just say this, we have water.... thank God! May God bless each one of you and may you have a blessed day! Prayer Request: For my little Grand-daughter,,Anna Claire Franklin who has the flu, her mother Terri Hicks Franklin, took her to the "doc in the box" in Griffin, and she was very sick with high fever, and sick,, and quickly diagnosed with the flu! Gt well,,, Anna we love you! Lord, thank You for our all..amen John HIcks

GOD IS REAL AND HERE!

SATURDAY! Good morning all!! I have awoken at 4 a.m. and had my coffee, and am now ready for anything,,, well to tell the truth,, almost anything,, well, really nothing, just having some fun, for I am so full of the Lord today, that I might explode! Ha! and as big as I am, look out ,, hide , cover up!!! Yes, God wants us to have fun in our lives, but be serious and respectfully to Him, ,and to His Son, Jesus! I had a great story of my bout with diabetes, of how it occurred, how I accepted it, and how God used it for His own! And then I thought of it, prayed to Him that I had nothing to write this morning,,, and then it came to me, HE HAD JUST GAVE IT TO ME! I CONTRACTED DIABETES,, GOD HAS NOT GIVEN THE CURE YET... HE SHOWED ME HE WAS GOD,, BY SHOWING ME OF THE MEDICINES USED TO CONTROL IT, AND HOW HE WAS IN CHARGE, THAT IF I LIVED BY THESE MEDICINES ONLY, I WOULD DIE IN THIS WORLD,,,,FOR IT TOOK NOT THE MEDICINES HE HAD MAN MAKE, BUT THE USE OF THEM, AND THE GOOD SENSE TO KNOW OF THE CONDITION, AND THAT IT TOOK THE FAITH , THAT HE IS SAYING, "I WILL GIVE THESE TO YOU,, BUT YOU MUST ALSO DO SOME YOURSELF,,, LIKE , LOOK AT WHAT YOU EAT, AND HOW YOU EXERCISE"... So ,, to me,, this is saying , with all that man can do, can give, life is only as He(God) tells you, shows you and to get this life???? and that IS TO LISTEN TO HIM! DO YOU HEAR ME? God, thank You, for You always come through for me, in Your way, and not mine! amen John HIcks See,, how He says, "WHAT?" "You said you don't have anything to write?",, "yu prayed to me for something?" "Boy,, you will just never learn!" Praise unto the one , the only God! Now , believe it or not, your choice!

TRIBUTE TO A CHRISTIAN VETERAN OF THE USA!

WEDNESDAY! Good morning to all! I pray that you made your choice today, and it was to have God beside you, by your own request.... and that you have made the decision to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior...you believe all of the above, and that you practice as best as you can, and love , love, for love is the best medicine for all! Prayer of Mourning: Our Christian Vietnam, Veteran, that served for our freedom, contracted agent orange, had the tumor in his chest, was moved to hospice, and died less than a day or two...Mr. Mike Owens! I am in mourning , not for that he is dead, but that it took another Veteran, another Christian to take this man, and try to give him the best of his last days here, for all else turned their backs, and I mention no name of this other vet... for that is what he would want! I cry "VICTORY" for Mister Owens, for his statement was right up to the last, He had accepted Jesus, and he was prepared,,,, and that is something that all cannot say! so , this morning is dedicated to this one man, who not only served his country, unconditional, and it still caused his death here on this earth, while we live out ours with freedom.. but that even knowing all the addictions of pain of this disease and all else he suffered from internally, he did the one thing that I challenge all to do this day, is to do as he did, right up until death, here and that was to CRY OUT!!!! I AM READY, YES READY TO MEET MY MASTER, FOR ALL THAT IS WRONG WITH ME NOW,,,, OUTSIDE AND INSIDE....... I HAVE ACCEPTED MY LORD, AND I AM READY!! Can you say this, could you be this brave on your death bed,, well could you..so today let us remember this man and make this day A USA VETERAN, MISTER OWENS DAY! God., you received a good man, thank You for him. amen\ John HIcks Servant to God! Different today, I will see how it is received, for I write the truth of a man who lived hard, but died with dignity!!!!

FEELING THE SPIRIT!!!!

⌂ Home 👤 John ⚙ Help Press ? for keyboard shortcuts. 1 Thoughts For Today-Tuesday-01/27/15 (4) me To me Today at 6:45 AM TUESDAY! Good morning all,,, I hope we all woke the same today, with our God beside us, by request, and He is there even if we do not request, waiting on that sentence,, "God, please walk and go with me through this day, and all my life".,,,So it is up to you and it is your choice! Today is "Therapy Day" for Libby, and I pray it is as good as previous, for she is getting better and better! SAD NEWS: The missing couple found, and found dead! Such a waste, but God knows best, doubt Him not, even if I am sad of the outcome! I write as I feel that God gives me to write, even lots are very doubtful of this, but that is not what matters,,, it is "doing work for God ,,, is always, good,, and it is always right"! So today, as at a lot of times, I have to pray and pray hard for continued writing of these thoughts,, for since 2007, I have only missed one week, and a few days,, not God's failings , but mine.. all the days and years, His, not mine! and today I must say, I have to really pray that He will continue to give me the "good news",,,, and whether some like or like not ,, well that is their choice.... for I say, and I write what I think God tells me to write... and today I will only say this , and it is very simple, and I believe this with all my heart, and if you feel I am wrong about this, you can send me an email ,, or as I have been putting it on FB,, you can comment..... for that also is your choice! Am I upset today,, you bet,,, for I believe this, and I believe this very deeply,,,, EITHER YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, OR YOU DON'T , AND THAT IS YOUR CHOICE!,,, BUT IF YOU DON'T, THEN YOU LOOK AROUND AND SEE THE THINGS MADE , NOT BY MAN FOR WE ARE NOT THAT SMART, SO IF YOU ARE A DIS-BELIEVER, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU! I ALSO BELIEVE IN THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN IS THROUGH AND BY THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST, AND THROUGH ACCEPTING HIM! NOW IF THEIR IS ANY OPPOSITE FEELING OF THIS, GO AHEAD AND WRITE IT OUT, BUT YOU NOR satan,, WILL TAKE MY BELIEF FROM ME! NOW ,,, AS THE OLD SAYING GOES,,,,,"PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT" Why this today????? I feel AMERICA, and the WORLD,,, is slipping, and God wants us to talk to Him,, and His creation will continue,, otherwise, well you think about the outcome!!!!!!!!!! God, thank You for giving me all to write, and this,,,, this morning, I pray will open eyes, and mouths for you! amen John HIcks Normal or crazy,,,, both,,, normal on belief, and crazy about my God, for there is but one! AND YOU? CHOICE! CHOICE!

THE WORK IS ALSO IN THE FIELD!

⌂ Home 👤 John ⚙ Help Press ? for keyboard shortcuts. 1 Thoughts For Today-Monday-01/26/15 (4) People me To me Today at 7:26 AM MONDAY! Good morning as always! Have you said hello to your Lord God, asked Him to be with you through your day, and your life! I say today,"Thank You Lord, for being so forgiving , and so loving, and having me in Your flock!" If you are not in that "flock"m then remember, it is your choice, and He gave it to you to use, as you want? So what is your Want? Prayer Request: Please keep praying for Lori Passmore, with a broken pelvis: Her report: An update on my broken pelvis: I'm kinda sorta at the place where the pain is "bearable". I don't want to brag because it will start whit intense pain again. Trust me, they have me well medicated too, and I stay sleepy all of the time but I will take sleepy over pain any day!!! Also , the Dunaway Family of their lost! Prayer of Thanks: For God's healing power on Libby's arm! She is in therapy, and it is going great, but she is so sore, she almost gets sick, but she goes without her Velcro cast a lot, by request of her therapist, and she is doing better every day!! Praise God, for we give HIM the credit of the recovery, and we never doubt of the why, that is His decision and we still love Him in any thing He decides! THE WORK IS ALSO OUT THERE IN THE FIELD! From my daily Bible reading,, which usually I read after the thoughts, but was led today to pick up that Bible and so it first, for this is what I feel should be sent out to the world!!!1 The Grandpa had his grandchildren at his house, and after waking at 5 a.m., they all had to feed the animals for the morning,, then at 6 a.m. they had homemade biscuits, eggs, and all the b'frast trimmings. Then when this was finished,, Grandpa said this: THE WORK IS NOW DONE WITH OUR CHORES AT HOME! BUT... THE WORK IS OUT THERE IN THE FIELD!!! YES, CHRISTIANS , WE DO OUR THINGS AT HOME , INSIDE OF THE CHURCH, OR IN ALL OUR OTHER FELLOWSHIPS, BUT WE NEED TO REMEMBER... THE WORK IN THE FIELD!! ARE WE WORKING THE FIELD? OR JUST OURSELVES? Lord, I ask that we all and especially me, will not only worship you at home, church, but get out there in the field and plant the seeds of Jesus ,, our Salvation! amen John HIcks Not bragging,, but every chance I get,, I ask people to take one of those little a8 inch white crosses and put one in their yard, that is what I love ..and that I know is pleasing to God! and no, I am not trying to sound like I am making you or anyone feel like they are being bad by not doing this, I am just offering in His Name, and YOU must make that choice, of yes or no!!! I do what I think is called "FIELD WORK"! and what do you call it?
