Just Because I Love You
By Cheryl Stegall Gipson
Sitting alone in the living room of my apartment in Amarillo,
Texas, I realized that what I had been taught all my life about
finding peace in my walk with God was not working for me. I
was exhausted, depleted, beyond broke with stress slowly
squeezing the life out of me. I was desperate for answers. I
had done all that I knew to do but found no relief from the issues closing in that had almost left me homeless at one point.
I was absolutely weary of the struggle of it all.
Disappointed in so much talk about love and so little demonstration toward the people who needed it, I became determined to find the truth. Remembering the words of Norvel
Hayes on an old cassette tape I had worn out, I began to do
what I had heard him talk about so much. I cried out to God,
“God, I want the truth, I want the truth God.”
In the silence of my lonely apartment I sought Him diligently for
that truth. I asked God, how it all was suppose to work and
shared with Him that my heart was telling me the truth was
hidden in simplicity. I asked Him to reveal that simplicity to
me. Somehow I knew it should not be hard nor difficult to live
in the blessings Jesus purchased for us. I just could not seem
to get access because something was blocking me from receiving the promises from God. I was at the end of my rope with
the struggle to make ends meet and the lack of love among so
many I had encountered who professed to be “on fire for God.”
I wanted the truth and therefore chose to reach for the hem of
His garment and hang on until I had understanding of how to
live as He intended me as His child to do. I would not be disappointed.
All my life I struggled with rejection. In trying to grasp the understanding of God loving me unconditionally, I could not seem
to bring into focus what that meant because of my perception
formed from the lessons in life. Finally reaching the point of
exhaustion along with desperation to experience what the scripture describes as being chosen before He laid the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blame before Him
in love and being predestined to adoption by Jesus even
before He laid that foundation….(knowing we were going to
fail) it gave Him pleasure and was His will to do so….we
were made to be accepted in the Beloved. I “chewed” on this
scripture from Ephesians, Chapter 1. I read about His rich
mercy and His great love. Oh, yes I had read it before! My
bible was highlighted over and over with torn edges from reading and trying to get the real meaning of what this meant. I
literally piece by piece read 1 John 3:1 over and over. I meditated on the thought of, “What kind of love
is this

Your goodness is amazing and we know that we are inscribed
on the palm of your hand. The faces of your children are ever
before you. We are embraced by your love and welcomed into
your lap. We are your children. You work all things together
for our good and your plan for us is for a hope and for a future,
not for evil. You are a wonderful Papa God. We belong to
you!
You want us! We are your children, whom when all others
have left or forsaken, you desire to embrace. We are the
object of your affection. You desire to walk in the garden with
those you love. Your eyes light up when your children come
into the garden seeking your Presence. You are always glad
to see us and you never turn your face away. You never let
the gate slam shut on us nor leave one of us to struggle
alone. You never desert or abandon your children. We do not
have to call your name over and over to get your attention for
your face is always toward us and just a whisper from your
children’s lips reaches your ear immediately.
Your love that is large enough to allow a choice of wills is so
amazing for a love that would present itself in a method of no
choices would not have been like you. You wanted our love
for you to be a willing love and you wanted us to choose to
love you and to accept your love. You wanted us to want you!
That love is irresistible and when a human heart gains the
understanding of it’s depth of commitment and the power of
that love, how could anyone not fall into your arms and accept
your sacrifice and your unconditional, eternal love. You are
the very essence of love and it is who you are. There is no
fear in love, but only acceptance and forgiveness. What a
God you are!
There is a place, a place of the heart and the path is so simple
that we miss it. It is a mystery that is hidden to the world. It is
the secret place where you embrace those who come to you to
love you. It is there for everyone who seeks it and it can only
be described as glorious. Beloved Father, you are the sunshine in the morning. You are the crisp air after the rain and
the joy in our hearts You are God and you alone are Creator
With all our love, devotion, and affection,
We are your thankful children…

The Origin of Valentines Day
In my quest to find out how Valentine’s Day began, I heartily
delved into my search for information. After visiting several
sites and reading the history of this day dedicated to those in
love, I think I may have discovered the answer. The following
is a summary of what I gleaned from history.
It all seems to originate around 5th century Rome as a tribute
to St. Valentine, a Catholic Bishop. The Romans practiced a
pagan celebration in the middle of the month of February in
honor of the young men “coming of age” to a pagan god. A
type of lottery was used and the young men would draw the
names of young women from a box. The girl drawn would be
assigned to that young man for his entertainment and pleasure
for the rest of the year.
Pope Gelasius wanted to do away with the pagan celebration
and ordered a change in the lottery. Instead of the names of
young women, he used the names of saints. Both men and
women were allowed to draw and they were to imitate the
ways of the saint whose name they drew, for the remainder of
the year. Many of the young Roman men were not happy
with the change.
The church began to look for a patron saint of love to take the
place of the pagan god, Lupercus. It was decided that St. Valentine would be chosen. He had lost his head in 270 AD at the
hands of the Emperor, Claudius. Claudius felt that men who
were married did not make good soldiers. He then banned
marriage from his empire.
But, still I loved and
died for you...

Valentine would marry secretly the young men that came to
him. When Claudius found out about this, he tried to convert
Valentine to paganism. However Valentine tried instead to
convert Claudius to Christianity. Valentine was eventually
stoned and beheaded.
While Valentine was in prison, he fell in love with a blind girl.
She was the daughter of his jailer. Through his faith, she was
miraculously healed. Before he was faced with death, he
signed a goodbye message to her, “From your Valentine.”
That message has been used to this day.
Even though the practice of drawing for women had been
banned by the church, the February holiday in the memory of
St. Valentine was still used by Roman men to find the love of
women. It became traditional for the men to give the one they
admired messages of affection with Valentine’s name.
The first Valentine card was sent in 1415. Charles, Duke of
Orleans sent it to his wife while he was in prison. Thus the
origin and history of Valentine’s day from my research on the
subject. Personally I did not know. Interesting, don’t you think?
Happy Valentine’s Day To
A Very Special Person

I have always loved you so….
From before your birth
I knew your name:
Before I made this earth,,

Would choose to do,
Jesus did not die that we might willingly
continue in voluntary sin, but that through grace,
we could be empowered and set free from the
slavery of sin, become a son,
and walk in victory!

A pastor always used the phrase, "It might be worse," when
some calamity would come his way. One day a friend said to
him, "I've something to tell you, and you won't be able to use
your favorite phrase. I dreamt last night that I died and went to
hell."
"It might be worse," said the preacher.
The friend came unglued:
"Man alive, how could it be worse?" ... To which the pastor
replied: "It might be true."
A mother was teaching her 3 year old daughter to say the
Lord's prayer. For several evenings at bedtime, she repeated it
after her mother. One night she said she was ready to solo.
The mother listened with pride as her daughter carefully enunciated each word right up to the end, when
she said, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
some e-mail. Amen."
A preacher was on program at a district convention to preach
for twenty minutes. The other preachers from the district were
sitting behind him in the choir section, giving him moral support and throwing in an occasional "Amen" to help the
preacher along. The preacher preached his twenty minutes
and continued on despite the time allowed. He preached for 30
minutes, then forty minutes and then for an hour. He even
continued for an hour and ten minutes. Finally, a brother sitting
on the front row took a song book and threw it at the preacher
that was still going strong in his message. The preacher saw
the song book as it was hurled his way and he ducked. The
song book hit one of the preachers sitting in the choir section.

hear him say, "Hit me again, I can still hear him preaching!"
A burglar had forced entry into a residence when he heard a
voice saying "Jesus is watching you." He looked toward the
sound of the voice and noticed a parrot roosting in its cage. At
this time the parrot said, "Hello, my name is Elvis." The burglar
rhetorically asked, "What kind of an idiot
would name a parrot Elvis?"
To his surprise, the owner of the home replied from the darkness of the room, " The
same idiot who named this Rottweiller Jesus."
A preacher said to a farmer, "Do you belong to the Christian
family?" "No." said he, "they live two farms down."
"No, I mean are you lost?" "No, I've been here thirty years."
"I mean are you ready for Judgment Day?"
"When is it?"
"It could be today or tomorrow."
"Well, when you find out for sure when it is, you let me know.
My wife will probably want to go both days!"
Struggling to make ends meet on a first-call salary, the pastor
was livid when he confronted his wife with the receipt for a
$250 dress she had bought. "How could you do this?!"
"I was outside the store looking at the dress in the window,
and then I found myself trying it on," she explained. "It was like
Satan was whispering in my ear, 'You look fabulous in that
dress. Buy it!'"
"Well," the pastor replied, "You know how I deal with that kind
of temptation. I say, 'Get behind me, Satan!'"
"I did," replied his wife, "but then he said, 'It
looks fabulous from back here!”
The new preacher moves his things into his
new office and comes across the former pastor,
taking his items out. The former pastor says, "I left three envelopes in your desk. If you have any trouble, open them."
Well, of course the new preacher thinks he will never have to
use them, but in his youthful enthusiasm, he tries to change
the order the kids march in during Vacation Bible School. Well,
this makes the workers absolutely furious and there is a lot of
ugly talk about the new pastor. He remembers the envelopes
and opens the first one. It says, "You haven't been here long,
but you decided to make a change in the Vacation Bible
School; now everyone is mad. Tell everyone that the former
preacher had told you this was how you preferred to do it." So
the young preacher did that and it worked well.
He had been there about a year and a half when he tried to
change the deacon position from being a life-long job to a
position that rotated annually. Well, this made the deacons
really mad, and they were the ones who made his salary recommendation. So he went back to the drawer and got the
second envelope:
"You did something to make the deacons mad and there's talk
of replacing you. Tell them this is the official denominational
policy; that you thought they wanted to comply, but it doesn't
make you any difference what they do."
He tried this, and again it worked great. You guessed it. After
three years, he finally told the women's organization that they
were going to have to open the kitchen so that it could be used
without a representative from the women's group being present. This put the women's organization in
open revolt. So he went back to that third and
final envelope:
"You've been here about three years and you
finally got the women's organization mad. The
only thing to do is prepare three envelopes ... "

A Sunday School teacher was struggling to open a combination
lock on the supply cabinet. She had been told the combination,
but couldn't quite remember it. Finally she went to the pastor's
study and asked for help. The pastor came into the room and
began to turn the dial. After the first two numbers he paused
and stared blankly for a moment. Finally he looked serenely
heavenward and his lips moved silently. Then he looked back at
the lock, and quickly turned to the final number, and opened the
lock. The teacher was amazed. "I'm in awe at your faith, pastor," she said. "It's really nothing," he answered. "The number is
on a piece of tape on the ceiling.

A little boy was kneeling beside his bed with his mother and
grandmother and softly saying his prayers, "Dear God, please
bless Mommy and Daddy and all the family and please give me
a good night's sleep."
Suddenly he looked up and shouted, "And don't forget to give
me a bicycle for my birthday!!"
"There is no need to shout like that," said his mother. "God isn't
deaf."
"No," said the little boy, "but Grandma is.""
One day, Joe, Bob and Dave were hiking in a wilderness area
when they came upon a large, raging, violent river. They needed
to get to the other side, but had no idea of how to do so.
Joe prayed to God, saying, "Please God, give me the strength to
cross this river."
Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs, and he was able
to swim across the river in about two hours, although he almost
drowned a couple of times.
Seeing this, Dave prayed to God, saying, "Please God, give me
the strength and the tools to cross this river."
Poof! God gave him a rowboat and he was able to row across
the river in about an hour, after almost capsizing the boat a couple of times.
Bob had seen how this worked out for the other two, so he also
prayed to God saying, "Please God, give me the strength and
the tools, and the intelligence, to cross this river."
Poof! God turned him into a woman. She looked at the map,
hiked upstream a couple of hundred yards, then walked across
the bridge.
An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into
mischief finally asked him, “How do you expect to get into
heaven?”
The boy thought it over and said, “We’ll I’ll just run in and out
and in and out and keep slamming the door until Saint Peter
says, ‘For heaven’s sake Jimmy, come in or stay out!’”
Finding one of her students making faces at others on the playground, Ms. Smith stopped to gently reprove the child. Smiling
sweetly, the Sunday School teacher said, “Bobby, when I was a
child, I was told that if I made ugly faces, it would freeze and I
would stay like that.” Bobby looked up and replied, “”Well, Ms.
Smith, you can’t say you weren’t warned!”
A little girl asked her mother, “Can I go outside and play with the
boys?” Her mother replied, “No, you can’t play with the boys,
they are too rough.” The little girl thought about it
for a few moments and asked, “If I can find a
smooth one, can I play with him?”

“Father” has poured out upon us that you and I should be
called His children. I spent hours thinking about Jesus as the
Bridegroom and myself as a part of the Bride. I am a visual
creature and therefore I drew pictures of a stick person and
labeled the head as Christ, the body as the Church and wrote
“me” across it. I sought for more understanding of who I am in
Him and how to walk in it. I pictured myself walking with Him
and talking with Him. I took photographs depicting Jesus love
for people interacting with them. I desired to know Jesus in an
intimate and personal way that would drive out all fear and
doubt of ever being unwanted, unnoticed and unloved again. I
wanted a close personal relationship that would leave me without any doubt of who I am in Him and how much He loves and
cares for me. I went after it like a hungry lion pounces upon a
lamb. I was not going to live in want and loneliness anymore.
I was on a mission to live in a love affair with the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. After all, the price He paid for me was beyond comprehension and He wanted me more than His own
life.
I thought daily upon the love and passion that comes when
two people fall in love and marry. I asked God to reveal in a
very personal way His love and devotion to me. I was desperate for a relationship with the One who said He loved me. I
wanted to know Him more and more. I longed to understand
how to walk in His promises and not be in need in this life. I
wanted my Father, my Bridegroom, my source of Love and
perfection to teach me how to walk in His Presence and live in
confidence of His love and care for me. I needed Him, I
wanted Him and I was not going to stop until I knew Him as He
intended me to.
One evening as I sat on my couch in my quiet apartment, I
said to my Lord, “Jesus, I want to understand your love for me.
I want to comprehend how you really feel about me and how
faith works.” Immediately I heard Him say to me in my spirit, “I
will take care of you (meet your needs) just because I love
you!’’ Just Because I Love you!! That is what we do as
earthly parents and we are made in His image. The simplicity
of the truth of this wonderful relationship has caused us to
miss these simple facts. Just because I love you I will take
care of you. You do not have to earn it, intercede for it nor
repent for days and fast for it, but it is yours because of what
He has done for us. He has made us accepted in the Beloved
and we are One with Him. We are His body and He is our
Head! What is His belongs to you and me. We are loved and
our perfection is in Him, not in our performance. Because of
His love for us, it should compel us to obey Him and stay under His sheltering arm as a lamb being carried against His
chest.
The second thing He said to me was, “Stop trying to get me
to do things for you that I have already done.”
Immediately I knew He was speaking of the covenant, of His
promises that all that He has belongs to you and me. Then I
understood how faith works. Faith works by love.
When you and I understand how deeply, passionately, and
personally He loves us and we are aware of it, believe it
and know in our hearts that as a Father He is willing, our
faith will work every time without fail and without begging
and trying to get it to happen. When we have a revelation
of being loved by God unconditionally, even before we
can ask we will find our heart’s desires being fulfilled.
Believe the love and never doubt it!
He will take care of you because He loves you. Believe it, expect it and never doubt it. Think daily when you rise and when
you eat and when you go to bed at night about His great love
for you. Faith works by knowing He loves you! He loves YOU!
When you know someone loves you and is willing to take care
of you, you never worry about it or wonder. You just know and
believe and expect that what you need will be supplied. How
much more will our faith work by knowing this is how God feels
about us. It is not about how often we go to church, how much
money we give or how many good deeds we have done. It is
about knowing how loved we are which produces goodness in
our hearts, and love for others which manifest in kindness, imitating Christ and the gospel being lived and experienced instead of just talked about.
It is the greatest love story every told. It is where all love comes
from and what we experience on this earth in the way of love is
a reflection of Him and His great love for us. It was settled at
Calvary. We are His. He is our Source and He is willing!
The more we meditate on His love for us, the more we will become like Him. Believe He loves you. Know that we do not
have to try to get Him to do things for us but just remember that
your faith works by knowing He loves you. Meditate on that
scripture until it is cemented into your heart. Faith works by
love. Faith works by love. Faith works by knowing, understanding He loves you.
Picture for a moment Calvary. As you remember Jesus willingly
hanging there, suffering great tormenting pain and separation
from His Father know that this is how He feels about you. No
matter who you are or where you have been in life. No matter
what you have done, He died for you and if you will ask Him to
forgive you and take Him into your heart and life as your Lord
and Savior, He will never leave you nor will He ever turn His
back on you. Calvary is the place He demonstrated His affection and desire to bring you to Him. It was there He took your
place and set you free. It is faith in that sacrifice and His love
that held Him on that tree that is your title deed to eternal life
and freedom from sin. You see faith works when you understand that it was His love for you that held him to the cross. It
gives Him pleasure to forgive and bring us home to Him. It
gives him pleasure to give good things to those who love Him
and to care for, protect, and deliver you and me.
Stop trying to get God to do things for you He has already done
and know that He will take care of you because He loves you.
Love Him and spend time thinking about His goodness. Tell
Him many times a day how much you love Him and ask Him to
give you direction and guidance.
Living for Jesus is not a hard thing. It is a relationship in which
He has purchased our freedom and life with His own blood and
through that act, we now have access to receive His love which
makes our faith work as a willing God finds pleasure in giving
good gifts to his children. It is a relationship and there is nothing complicated about it. It is faith that works because we know
He loves us. He will take care of you just because He loves
you!

Cherry Drugstore
Where: Hedley, Texas
When: The Early Sixties
What: Hamburgers and Fountain Cokes!
How Many Eaten? 800?
It was a time like no other in history and
although everyone might not feel that way, most of
us who came from Hedley might argue with you. It
was the era of drugstores with fountain cokes and
“real” malts made with hard ice cream. That was
Cherry Drugstore in Hedley, Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. Cherry seemed to love the
high school kids that crammed into their local drugstore for lunch everyday. I can still see their faces
as clear as if it were 1960. That grill produced the
best hamburgers with just the right amount of
grease to cause even the most reserved lady to lick
her lips in delight in finishing off a famous “Cherry
Drugstore Hamburger!” The cost was about 25
cents.
It was a gathering place to hang out and
talk girl talk about the boys and the basketball
games and whatever else was high on our agendas in those days. I can’t remember anything
much that was high on the list except boys and
basketball. We did not have a football team in the
sixties at Hedley.
Music was the best back then that has ever
been written. Johnny Mathis sang “The Twelfth Of
Never” and Sonny James made us all want to find
the love of our lives with, “Young Love.” Bryan
Hyland came along with “Sealed With a Kiss” and
of course the best of the best was anything that
Elvis sang.

There is no greater peace than to have the assurance that you are perfectly loved by God
you came into Hedley, the sound of doo wop, all
make great moments from yesterday but the one
thing that stands out in my mind is Mr. and Mrs.
Cherry and the wonderful burgers frying on the grill
when we came through that door for lunch. It was
food fit for a king and if I were to guess how many
of those burgers I put away in those four years of
high school, I would say that 9 months of school
with an approximate average of 21 school days per
month times four years would be, maybe 800 hamburgers but then there were weekends too and well
800 is a conservative figure, maybe. My math
teacher might disagree but then again, who cares
at this point. I just wanted to make it clear that
some of the greatest moments of yesterday were
spent in Cherry Drugstore eating hamburgers that
deserved a blue ribbon. A big thanks to the Cherry
family for some of the greatest moments from yesterday.

Forgiveness :
The Key to Freedom!
By susan Finny Daniel
We are always proud to say that we follow Jesus Christ. We
show that by loving others and being concerned about their life.
Through our lives we try to show that we do what Jesus did and
taught us. But we see at many times we simply ignore the main
and most important part of being like Jesus. is, Forgiveness.
Forgiveness means letting go. Forgiveness does not come
easily. It comes through much hard work and perseverance.
It is easy to make excuses and blame others , and justify our
actions and attitude. It is easy to say its his fault. It is easy to
point a finger at a person. I have heard most people saying.. "I
forget".. but it is very rare to hear.. "I forgive". And indeed it is
hard for us to forgive someone who has done wrong to us. One
Christian lady kept on provoking me through different means.
She had given me much trouble. I kept quiet and I prayed about
this. Because of that person I had to face much difficulty. My life
itself had changed negatively. I went through bitter pain. This
was my first experience. I know who I am in Christ. So I had
forgiven her. I prayed all the way saying "Lord..I am Your
daughter. I do Your ministry. Help me to forgive, forget and let
go of what she had done to me."
Jesus showed forgiveness through His own life. After His birth
the Bible mentions about Him only at the age of 30. That too a
short period of 30 -33 years. That is just 3 years. And within that
short span we know... Jesus gave food to the hungry.. healed
the sick.. showed love and care to those who were rejected
ignore and insulted by the society. But all we can see is.. in
return.. the same people blamed Him...threw stones at Him..
mocked at Him..rejected Him..and crucified Him. But Jesus.. He
just forgave them. His disciple Judah Iscariot.. he betrayed
Jesus. But He loved him and was worried about Him. Friends..is
it possible for us to do the same? Also we know that Jesus had
loved Peter very much. But when He was caught and arrested
Peter denied knowing Jesus 3 times. But Jesus forgave Him.
That is why Jesus came to Peter when he was fishing in the
lake.
The world will hurt us ,reject us. People will do hard and terrible
things to us. But we should always forgive and forget. I agree
that when we are angered our emotions come out in words. But
we should take that thing very serious in our life. Parents and
children have issues. Husband and wife have issues. But these
happenings are seen with a negative eye. When a person gets
angry with you, he or she might say unwanted hurting and
insulting things. Harsh words may come due to the uncontrollable anger. We should remember that he or she might have
not meant to say and act like that. We should forgive them. If
we look at the negative side..we can never forgive and forget.
Especially married couples. Many families are destroyed because they cannot forgive and forget. Forgiveness is a choice.
And we must choose to forgive those who have done us
wrong. Then give them into God's hand. Leave it there itself.
Give your hurt and hard feelings to Him. Pray and break the
bondage of unforgiveness.
Unforgiveness is a form of hatred against another. The feeling
of hatredness or bitterness is a poison. The reason the devil
wants you to hold on to bitterness is because it is a deadly
poison to your soul. We should never hold on to bitterness and
hatredness and unforgiveness.
When God reminds you to forgive do not ignore. Allow God to
set you free. You will never regret it. Release yourself from the
hurt feelings and let them go. Stop carrying those feelings and
burdens and let that poison out of your soul. If you are a true
Christian it is your responsibility to forgive others. It is high
time you forgive and set yourself free from the burdens you
carry. Do not delay. Do it today. You will experience freedom
like never before.

From Pastor Andrew & Ann Marie Bills
www.andrewbills.com
“What Kind Of Messiah Are
You Trusting In?”
Are you experiencing a heart-wrenching situation
and your emotions have left you feeling as if
you’re dealing with a resuscitated, weak, emaciated, skinny Jesus, streaming blood, in need of
assistance from the tomb instead of a resurrected, powerful, almighty and ascended Lord?
So many today are not walking as if their lives
exemplify the power of the risen Christ, or that
they’ve been delivered from sin, filled with His
Spirit, walking in the favor of God or living a victorious Christian life by standing on His Word.
So, what kind of messiah are you looking for?
What kind of messiah are you trusting in?
Is your religious experience just a matter of accepting some intellectual devised rules, organized traditions and social values as you gather
with other like-minded friends on Sunday mornings? Or do you really believe that He has
risen and is alive forever more?
In John chapter 20, after the crucifixion of Jesus, early on that Sunday morning, Mary Magdalene came to anoint the body of Jesus with
spices but found that the stone had been rolled
away from in front of the tomb.
As she pondered what had happened, even after
seeing and hearing from two angels and seeing
Jesus, her heart was still filled with dismay.
John 20:15 NIV says, “Jesus asked her,
"Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are
looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she
said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me
where you have put him, and I will get him.”
To console her weeping, he tenderly asked her
those two questions, which were the first words
of the risen Jesus, for Mark tells us, "He appeared
first of all to Mary of Magdala.”
Overwhelmed with grief, preoccupied with sorrow,
confused by her perception, weeping the loss of
His missing body and her face filled with a river of
tears, she thought him to be the gardener. She
thought him to be the caretaker of the grounds perhaps who had been with Joseph of Arimathaea
when His body was laid and sealed in that tomb.
Filled with terrifying grief, she had no notion of the
Resurrection. She was utterly overcome with
one bitter and cruel thought. That the sacred
body, of which she had come to anoint, was gone
and had be stolen.
Her passionate burst revealed her ongoing love for
her savior, for her mind was still fixed on the fact
that His body had be taken. So she pled for an act
of kindness to be demonstrated and told him that
she would move His body away.
You cannot help but be touched by her love at
this point. When Jesus was crucified, he was in
the prime of His life at 33 years of age, a strong
figure of a young man. Upon His burial perhaps
several additional pounds of spices had been
added to the weight of His body. Yet Mary, as
small and frail as she was, thought nothing less
than carrying him away with her if he would
show her where the body has been moved.
Then, just like in the story of Joseph in Genesis
45:1, our risen savior Jesus Christ could no longer
restrain Himself and made Himself known to her.
Christ always reveals Himself to those that earnestly seek Him. Are you aware that the hardest
spots in life can also become the place of new
revelation or a new beginning?
The key towards overcoming fear, conquering
obstacles and moving beyond your wounded
past is in coming to know and maintaining intimate fellowship the Risen Messiah, Christ Jesus. Then you’ll realize and experience His presence, love and awesome power through His Word
and Holy Spirit in your life and circumstances.
THEREFORE, HAVE FAITH IN GOD!
“Will You Trust Me Even If You Don’t
Understand Or Can’t See
What I’m Doing?”
Will you trust God if you’re being led in
ways that may clash with your personal
plans, conflict with your natural thinking,
defy your logic or seem drastically different
from your normal way of doing things?
In this prophetic and insightful single book
from The Holy Spirit,
Pastor Andrew Bills gives you the keys towards overcoming negative emotions &
difficult circumstances through faith in
Christ. Here you’ll discover how to stand
on God’s Word in the midst of all adverse
situations, negative situations,
painful conditions and demonic activity
surrounding your life.
You’ll be encouraged and blessed
through this amazing book from
The Lord.

I began by telling the leader of the meeting that I would be glad
to tell everyone why I had been at the bar, but only after he told
me who called him. He said that he couldn't because it was a
confidential matter. (LOL! When was the last time someone told
you that in an attempt to cover up their own sin or that of a
friend)
It was 1978 and Shari and I were living in a little town in
northeastern Kansas called Sabetha, where I had been the minister at a small church for about 2 years. One of our ladies at
church had a husband who was an unbeliever, in fact he owned
the local bar & pool hall. She had asked me to reach out to him
and Jerry and I had even developed a friendly relationship. I had
asked if I could talk to him about the Lord and had finally gotten
him to agree to have a Bible study. But there was a catch: it
had to be during the bar's operating hours and AT THE BAR. I
told Jerry, "No problem."
He told me that it was one of our teenagers. "OK, then I can
understand why he called you and not me. However, now we
need to talk about your sin. You not only didn't call me, but then
you basically told everyone in church by calling this meeting
and telling them the reason for the meeting. And you know good
and well what Matthew 18 commands. So what would you like
to say?"
I was proud of that man that day, he immediately admitted his
sin and asked me for forgiveness. I gladly told him, "Sure, you
are forgiven."
"Now we need to talk about everyone else's sin. All of you got a
call from *** and not one of you called me to ask about this matter. And not one of you asked *** if he had spoken with me privately which is what Matthew 18 commands."
The following Saturday night my wife and some of the other
churchwomen were hosting a wedding shower at my house. So I
took the groom, Hugh,one of my good buddies, and we headed
out to Jerry's bar/pool hall locatedsmack dab in the middle of
town on Main St. When Hugh and I walked into thebar, the looks
on the faces of his customers weren't all that welcoming. One
of the men asked me, "Well, what in the world are you doing in
here, preacher?"
Almost in unison all of the men in the room asked for forgiveness and that part of the matter was over. I then explained, "I
was having a Bible study with Jerry at the back snooker table at
the bar. Now do you see why Jesus commanded that we go
PRIVATELY first, before we talk to others? This whole stinking
mess could have been avoided. Now we even have to make an
announcement at church because some of the folks not in this
room have probably heard something too. We need to learn a
BIG lesson from this.
I replied, "Well, I'm here to find out if the owner of this establishment is a man of his word." Jerry pointed to the back of the large
room and asked one his customers to watch the bar for a while.
We walked to the back snooker table.
And we did. I can honestly say that never again while I was
there did things go public before they were discussed privately
first. Thank You, Jesus, for Your words in Matthew 18. God
bless. Mike
Jerry said, "So, I guess you're here to call my bluff, huh."

"Remember: KNEE-OLOGY will always keep your THEOLOGY
on the right path. So PRAY!"
I firmly replied, "I sure am. Now are you a man of your word or
not?" Jerry nodded that he was. We spent the next hour or two
looking at scriptures about sin, forgiveness, salvation and most
importantly about JESUS! When we finished Jerry said, "Well,
you've certainly given me something to think about." I thanked
Jerry for keeping his word and Hugh and I left.
The next day at church one of the men came up to me and informed me that there was an unscheduled men's meeting after
church that morning. I thought that was a little strange, but
thanked him for letting me know.
When I walked into the room everyone's eyes were fixed on me,
and not in the good way either. I sat down and one of the men
informed me that the reason for the meeting was that he had
received a call about me frequenting the local bar and pool hall
and that the men of the congregation wanted an explanation.
I think they probably thought I would be scared, but I was IRATE!
I quickly prayed for control of my temper. The Lord was faithful
as He always is and kept me from exploding.

Stolen Nutrients
The Kingdom of heaven is like a man who
sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed
weeds among his wheat, and went away.
When the wheat sprouted and formed heads,
then the weeds also appeared. Matthew 13 2426
Many of our farmers will rotate their crops in
their fields. One year they will raise cotton, the
next milo, and then the next another crop.
While they do an outstanding job of harvest
cleaning the fields of as much of the crop as
possible, there are some seeds that fall to the
ground. As they get covered by soil when
planting the next crop they sprout and grow.
Now if you are planting cotton in a field you
really don’t want milo or corn growing up in the
cotton patch. What was once meant for harvest
now becomes a weed. You can try and spray it
but you remember that the corn was round-up
ready and will not be affected by the poison. So
then by hand you must remove these once
good plants that are now weeds.
Weeds and plants for harvest can grow simultaneously side by side. They compete for moisture and nutrients. As a young boy growing up
on the farm though I remember that a few watermelon seeds were thrown in with the cotton
seed at planting. This was done on purpose so
that when you were chopping weeds or picking
cotton you could have a watermelon break. But
when mechanical cotton harvesters came
along you did not want to run watermelons inside the machine.
The enemy was volunteer plants coming up in
a different crop for our farmers today. The enemy for the farmer in this parable was Satan.
Satan planted a weed that was probably called
darnel in Jesus’ time on earth. The good seed
are those who belonged to Christ. Christians
are in this world together with those who reject
Jesus. Looking on the outside it very hard to
tell the difference. The weed darnel is very
hard to distinguish from wheat until it begins to
mature. The farmer did not want to pull the
weed darnel up from the wheat for it would
have pulled wheat up as well. God is not going
to remove those from our lives that are the
analogy of weeds. The lost will always be with
us. Now we can choose to remove ourselves
from the lost and only surround ourselves with
what we believe are Christians.
When a farmer plants a crop he usually very
carefully computes how many seed per foot he
can plant. If you get it too thick the plants will
quickly come up and grow at a rapid pace. The
plants compete with each other for the nutrients
and this causes the rapid growth. But when the
nutrients are depleted then the thickly populated
plants begin to wither and produce very little.
There is a need for us to avoid too much contact
with the weeds in our lives. But it is impossible to
be a part of the mission of God and not place
yourself in the midst of the lost.
It is important for the devoted follower of Christ to
return from the mission to Him. When Jesus sent
out the seventy-two he sent them two by two to
help each other. We need a partner to help us
when we are in the world. If Jesus is truly your
Lord you will never be alone. Keep your eyes on
things above for that is where your home is at.
Those Jesus sent out two by two also returned to
Him.
They had a celebration of what Christ had done
through them. For me this is what each Sunday
is about. Celebrating all that Christ has done
through you and for you on the other days of the
week. Church is not the gas station to get recharged. You should be charged as the seventytwo were when you enter back into the presence
of Jesus. Don’t let the weeds uproot you or steal
your joy, the nutrient of Christ.

If you use a smartphone, this is an important warning for you.
Please follow along to learn about this scary new threat, and
what you need to change right now to be safe. For years, I've
been giving you the heads up and the tools to keep you, your
family and your money safe from all the bad guys out there
who are forever trying to rip you off. Now I've found a scary
new way hackers can target you without you even realizing it.
And by the time you do catch on, it will probably be way too
late!
It all involves your smartphone, your cell provider and text
alerts. By now, most folks are completely used to communicating back and forth with family and friends via text. Businesses
have caught on, too. Text is a cheap and easy way for companies to connect with customers. One type of company that
uses texts a lot is our cellphone providers. After all, they already have our cellphone numbers so it's simple for them to
push out messages.
Cellphone providers regularly send text alerts and other messages to users. These messages might be a warning that you
are approaching your data limit or that your monthly bill is
ready. I just got a text the other day from Verizon with a
friendly heads up that my bill is ready. Pretty convenient, right?
Just one problem. I don't use Verizon and if I did, I really have
no idea if this is actually from my legitimate cellphone provider
or where the link might take you! And here's the reality: In your
busy life, it is very tempting to just click on the link and enter
your login credentials, right? Guess what? If this message is
from a hacker, you just gave away the keys to your cellphone
account and perhaps everything else that goes with it perhaps
even your credit card numbers.
Once again, the bad guys have figured out how to exploit a
shortcut any of us use, so they can have a chance to rip us off.
If you have doubts on this type of texts, either call the company the text come from and find out if it is legitimate or not. If
you do not have the time, do not click on the links to check it
out until you do have the time.
