-- U.S. officials say British agent infiltrated alleged airline terror cell, and cell members met suspected Al Qaeda operative in Pakistan.
Heavenly Father, God of all creation, Lord of the Universe, we thank you for revealing this darkness to the British in time to avert an evil plot to destroy lives and property. Lord, we trust in you, knowing you will be our shelter in a storm. In faith, we rest in the shadow of your wings, and rely upon your outstretched arms to hold us up, and keep us safe and secure.
Lord we pray for our enemies, who live in darkness and do not know right from wrong. We ask you to intervene in their lives, and change their evil and unloving thoughts. Please bring them to the realization there is only one God, and that is you, the Lord of all, the great I AM. Help us Lord to show them you are the way, the truth and the life. If they refuse to follow your righteousness, then Lord with a heavy heart, I pray you remove them, for the safety of the innocent and seeking children of this world.
Your word promises you'll be our God, if we'll be your people -- Lord we declare it with great trust -- you are our Lord, and we covenant with You to be your people, and to become disciples in Your name. We pray in the mighty name of your Son, Jesus Christ, Yahweh our Adoni, the divine name in whom we worship as we lift you up with a sincere heart The Anointed One. Amen.

Dream Of Heaven


I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them."

I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. "How is it that? There's no work going on here?" I asked.

"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.

"Simple," the angel answered. "Just say, "Thank you, Lord."

"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you are richer than 75% of this world. "If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."

Also ......

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ..... you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 700 million people in the world.

"If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death ... you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.

"If your parents are still alive and still married .. you are very rare.

If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you are unique to all those in doubt and despair."

Ok, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

Attn: Acknowledge Dept.: Thank You Lord!
"Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it with."

Our Universal Need, Deliver, Freedom, Faith

Our Universal Need, Deliever, Freedom, Faith ( Rom.1:1-32)
____________________________________ All of us have sinned, we have fallen short of God's glorious standard. Reguardless of whether we have fallen deply into one's controlling natures, in some types of addictions, very dysfunctional family units ( past or present) members has escaped severe truma - we are all in need of God . Ever since Adam & Eve rebelled against God, our nature has been to disobey him; we have ignored God's will. We are All powerless in our sin and are in need of God to save us. ____________________________________________ God's Power To Deliver: Our own life is in dire strates in having God to forgive us in one's needs in that sound deliever in being cleansed from All effects of the past . Although we are so very powerless to help one - self out of those pits in which we can't get out of in seeking God in his divine help which really we don't deserve it inactuality in one sense or another in one's own mind. With God's help in his great love, as he reaches out to us in recieving him. Man, this is really great new's for us ! Our own part in life is totally admitting in one's own powerless and to turn our life unto God and our will because he geniunely loves us. _________________________________________________________________________________ The road to Freedom : Because God attacks the problem at one's own very roots of our problems - that is, he has made it, possible for us to have freedom and totally being free.Through God's power, our life can and will be more managable. Although this process just isn't so easy, over a period of time we can become to be like Jesus Christ as we walk in him on a daily basis. The better we know him, the more impowerment by him we can be in our life. By continuing on going basis in taking an inventory, confessing our sins, asking Jesus Christ for his forgivness, and seeking to make one's admends to those whom we have literally harmed and wronged, then we can to totally in his freedom which bring unto us that he brings unto our life. __________________________________________________________________________________ The Role Of Faith: Much is described in the importance of faith or trust in God. "It's through faith that a righteous person has life" ( 1:7). There is No other way in one's own life in becoming free unless we have faith is very central way of life. The process begins in " faith" when we truly trust in God and will of our very life all over to him, and as we take each step of a new way in walking with him what we do is to take each tiny step towards God in faith. There is never ever any kind of magic formula for this - it is a daily act in trusting Jesus Christ whom is all - powerful God, whom promises never to forsake us to alway's love us No matter how unlovable people we are in turn which makes us very unstable we are in our life today. _____________________________________________________________________________ The Bottom Line : In this letter the Apostle Paul introduced himself as a slave of Jesus Christ. Apostle Paul was a Roman citizen; for him to be choosing a life of salvery was very unthinkable. But Paul demonstrates the tpe of humility and his dependences upon God. He has demonstraed his own helpness that he has in which he needed Jesus Christ in his very own life. Only when we joyfully submit self unto God's will we then become an overcomer in the Lord Jesus Christ. We all have failed in many ways and what shame it brings upon us as a person. We become ashamed of one's own past failures, bad habits, or even some tpye of abuse we have suffered by the hands of other's that has or presently have around us in heading toward the road that leads to freedom. The Apostle Paul shares with us such very important wonderful "Good New's " of Jesus Christ is that power to deliever and transform our lives when we totaly surrender unto him all of those shamful things that has or had taken place, the good newsof one salvation in surendering unto the Lord is rewarding and all that we had been through makes a life worth living by knowing Jesus Christ in a very personal way as we walk in him daily. When we refuse to admit to God of one's own powerlessness and hold - on to self - sufficiency, we follow things that has under a heaviness that leads towards a down ward paths that leads us to complusive addctions that sin is hiden until something brings it all to the surface of it all. When we see what it has done before us is when we then take drastic measures in giving it to Jesus Christ which has been willful out right sins that we have committed.We exchange worship of God for sins in a very willful ways that has been showing up to other people.We can accept it or reject it ! Denial is in the forfront of our lifes what choice will we make? Just then we accept lies or reject it it's a matter of choice in one's own mind and what we do with it is solely up to the individual.Then unmanagability becomes clear, natural concequences to acknowledge God is far from one's own mind. The only way to ever excape this is coming unto God which will help us from having destruction fall away from us in total recognizing God in our own powerlessness and give ourselves unto him in one's own life. catcmo2006

Hanna

Hanna [ 1Sam.1:1-28] Strengths & Accomplishments
(a.) Hanna turned her life only unto God when nothing else mattered but God in her time of need. (b.) Hanna prayed from her heart. (c.) Hanna carried out her vow, even when it was costly. _________________________________ Weaknesses & Mistakes: Hanna allowed the circumstances of her own life dicate, her feelings and self - worth. _________________________________ Lessons From Her Life: We should turn one's life completely unto God before our situation becomes very unbearable. God does fulfill our needs. Keeping our vows to God will sustains our own close very personal relationship with him,allowing him to shower us with his blessings. __________________________ Key Verse : " Hanna was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed unto the Lord." ( 1Sam. 1:10). ______________________________ The Bottom Line: In theses verses Hanna breathed a beauitful prayer through her own tears. She admitted her own helpness and acknowledgement of one's own needs of God which is mighty in power in which she knew inside of one- self. In faith she not only committed herself unto God about being " Infertility in knowing this has turn this issue over to God in totally surrendering her life unto service in the Lord in having a son in being a servant unto God in that son's own life that God would give this request in her vow before God (1:11). All of us must realize that without God's help in that divine intervention we are undoubtedly are helpless people unless we then become an overcomer of any of one's problem's or dependencies we may have within us. Learning to give - up one's own control then for us to wholly depend upon our God is the step we need to take in one's very own life. Hanna's prayer was misunderstood by " Eli" the priest, whom like we do at time in others that she was drunk, in reality she was taking a very important step toward admitting her helpness and totally committing her infertility to God. Sadly, atempts we often do misinterpreted, and have insensitive responses we do experience can be very disheartening. To credit, Hanna persevered despite the critcism she recieved. Eli soon recognized Hanna's integrity and encouraged her in prayer (1:17). No matter what kind of discouragement we face from people that's in our lives , we must persevere, God will be supporting us, even when people all around us simply do not suuport us in times like these. catcmo2006
