Dialogue - Thought
Lord we need you to do it, come in and manifest yourself- be known to us right now.
Many people awaken this morning and found themselves still blessed. There are also those that awoke and found themselves with the same concerns and or problems they had before. We need to be blessed way down in our sanctified souls.
In this day and time there are so many afflictions, testes and trials that come upon us that only you have control over. We need you to show us favor; to give us your mercy and grace right now. Lord do it, please do it for us right now.
1. Many churches are more financially than spiritually organized.
2. Many family ties have been broken and our families are dysfunctional.
3. Marriages are and have been dissolved for minute reasons.
4. Our children are being consumed and drawn away by peers, pressure, abductors and lust of their eyes.
4b Our children are conceiving children.
5. Many are so depressed or worried for some reason or another.
6. Many are in their home, nursing home or hospital sick and or bedridden and need your help desperately.
7. Our adversary have now made us his foot stool - to carry his weight and his burdens.
8. We are in a nation of wars and rumors of wars - internal, national and international.
You ask Abraham, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" The bible says, "Things that are impossible with man is possible with God," Genesis 18:14.
You also said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Your also told us to ask for whatever we need in the name of Jesus. We have faith in you Lord and believe you will do it now, or in your perfect timing.
We, your people, are standing on your word and praying that you will hear from heaven and continue to heal the land.
Until we meet again - soon.

The Thrill of Sweet Victory
Joshua 6:2-4
And the Lord said unto Joshua, see, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the King thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about he city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
And the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
Joshua and the Israelites received victory over Jericho because he followed God's direction to the T. Joshua and the Israelite army did not have to fight, or shed blood in way to win the victory.
God commanded Joshua to march around the city once a day for six consecutive days, marching in silence.
On the seventh day he was told to march around the city seven times, and the priest will blow the trumpets after the final march; and Joshua told the people to shout. A shout for sweet victory. The wall of the city fell down flat.
If we obey God and do exactly what He has instructed us to do, we also will have victory over the tests and trials that shows up in our life. We can not afford to take for grant what God has told us to do. Behind every commandment there are promises and blessing to reward us for our obedience to His will and way.
Lets continue to have victory in our life when we are faced with challenges that we have no control over, by obeying God.
Until we meet again - soon.

Caught In A Trap And We Can't Get Out
(Dialogue Thought)
Sometimes it seem as though we are caught in the middle of a trap and we have struggled and struggled to get out. Always remember that God loves all his babies-children. Sometimes we say or think, "Lord don't you see what this trap is doing to me. God loves us too much to allow the trap to consume us; because we belong to Him, and because He paid too big of a price for us on the cross.
Whatever situation we are caught up in at this time, God is working it out for our good. It is making those of us who don't pray and communicate with Him as much to start prayng to Him more. Know that "Trouble don't last always, and This too shall come to pass" in our determination through prayer.
I Corinthians 10:13
There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
***Whether the temptation is: drawing us away by the lust of the eye, lust of the flesh or the pride or life, God says He will make a way for us to escape. Every day it is possible for us to be drawn away from God one way or another, if we do not stay in His word. Jesus, himself, was tempted in all ways but he did not sin.
James 1:13,14,15
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempted he any man:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust had conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
I James 1:12 says, "Blessed is the man that endureth-bear up under - temptation: for when he is tried -has been tested- he shall receive the crown of life, which the lord has promised to them that love him."
Remember, at one time or another all of us has got caught up in a trap and couldn't get out.
LETS CONTINUE TO ASK GOD FOR A WAY TO ESCAPE TEMPTATION.

A GOOD FATHER
(Father's Day - From The Minister's Desk)
Not only was Father's Day something to remember. Fathers are always someone to remember.
"A father, a man, who has walked with us, talked with us, and gave us the right information to make good decisions." This sounds a lot like our father God, but it is not. This is what our christian father does. God does much more than this for us. He also saves us from sin, from ourselves, and from seen and foreseen danger. Because He is the saviour of the world, He can fill us with His precious gift of the Holy Spirit.
I Kings 2: 1-3 David tells his son Solomon how to be a Godly man:
Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying.
I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man:
And keep the charge of the lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyeself:
***A Godly man will always be a Godly father. He will teach and train his son in the way that he should go, so that when he get older he will not depart from it.
Our young men need to be taught and given charge by their father on how to be strong; the head of his household, a good husband, a good father; a good provider; and always follow God's leadership through His word.
Some say, "A good man is hard to find," others may say, "There is only a few good men"
We all know that a man is an adult male with authoritive and or Godly principles.
Lets continue to reverence our biological father as well as our heavenly father. Both of them have played an important part in our life. If it were not for them we would not be here.

Know Who To Trust
Joshua 2:3-5
And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, say, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all t he country.
And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:
And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: wither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
***In reading the verses above we find that when God has a mission for us to perform, He equips others to accept us as we are. When He sends us out on a journey He appoints and anoints us to go, then He prepares the way for us to travel. He leads and guides us by His Holy spirit.
If we do not look to the left side or to the right, where trouble is, in traveling down the narrow path, loosing sight of our mission, He will do just what He says.
Joshua 2:16
And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
***God orgistration of the plan for Joshua and his men to take over Jericho was awesome. In God's plan the two men entered a wise and cleaver women, a harlot's house. She knew the King, the mountains, her country's entrance and exits were well. It took this strong and courage women's knowledge of God to help the men.
She said to the men, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and the fear of you all is upon us.
" SOMETIMES GOD USES THE UNSAVED TO SAVE US, HIS CHILDREN, FROM TROUBLE."
and sometimes when THE SAVED HAS BACKSLIDEN, GOD INTERVENES AT THE RIGHT TIME, SO THAT THEY CAN HELP PROTECT US FROM ENEMIES."
We know that we can trust some people some of the time, but we can not trust all people all of the time.
Lets learn to put our trust in God, the one who lead and directs us in the way we should go.

Negative Thoughts
(Dialogue Question)
Can negative thoughts be turned into positive thinking, or do we entertain those negative thoughts?
Learning to say, "thank you Lord" when negative thoughts come into our mind can be helpful. Making that statement gets us back under His grace, to be at peace with our enemy or situation, and help our mind to be renewed.
Many times when situations and circumstances get us down we will think negative thoughts. Most of the time negative thoughts carry with it worrying which can lead to depression, especially, if something devastating has occurred. Sometimes it is hard to keep our mind on Him who can keep us in perfect peace, God.
As it is stated sometimes, "Nobody knows the trouble we see, nobody knows our sorrow." God does, He knows our thoughts afar off; He knows our thoughts before we think them.
Can we control our thoughts? - Thought control
Colossians 3:1,2
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Things worth thinking about
Philippians 4:8,9
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever thing are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do : and the God of peace shall be with you.
In every negative situation there is some good if we look deep enough. In every negative struggle there is positive strength.
Lets allow all our positive thoughts out weigh our negative ones. Remember what the devil meant for bad God turned it over for our good.
