Do You Know Who You Are?
Each year, on Labor Day weekend, the Holy Spirit leads me to share at least a portion of scripture from I Corinthians chapter 3. I am not really led to elaborate very much on these scriptures at this time. I am simply led to share them and to pray that God will show you, and also me, whatever we need to see about ourselves, and the work of HIS ministry through us.
I Corinthians 3:1-9
(1) And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
(2) I have fed you with milk, and not meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
(3) For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is envying and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
(4) For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am Apollos; are ye not carnal?
(5) Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave unto every man?
(6) I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase,
(7) So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
(8) Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
(9) For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
(10) according to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation and another buildeth thereupon.
(11) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
We must decrease and He must increase, if we are to be Kingdom Builders and allow Him to accomplish His purpose and mission through us in the earth.
Have a blessed weekend.
In His service,

FOR HE IS THE LORD
For He Is The Lord
You are God’s greatest product.
You are an incredible work of art.
Everything about you was designed by God by His Spirit.
God has beautiful plans for you, which you cannot yet comprehend.
Some situations may seem insurmountable, but they are not!
God specializes in doing things thought impossible.
Where you are now, is the starting point
for where God is taking you.
If God is leading you
His grace will sustain and keep you;
and it shall be well with thee,
for He is the Lord!

NATIONAL "One Minute Prayer" Vision
NATIONAL "One Minute Prayer" Vision
PRAYER CHANGES THINGS! We need to be DOERS of ll Chronicles 7:14
For a reminder, Set your cell phone alarm to ring at 11:59am.
God bless you. Opal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friend,
It is said that during World War II, Britain organized a
simple, "One Minute of Prayer" movement that may well have
helped to stop the Nazi war machine.
Irregardless of your political party, who you are (or are
not) voting for, I think we can all agree that our Nation
needs a fresh touch of God's grace and mercy!
May I suggest this simple plan?:
At ONE MINUTE BEFORE NOON (in each time zone) let's have a
moment of silent prayer to ask God for mercy, guidance, and
protection for America and its people.
Just think of the combined power and impact of millions of
God-fearing Americans taking a minute to pray for our Nation
when 11:59 AM occurs in their time zones. A mighty WAVE of
prayer every day, from East to West!
If you are driving at ONE MINUTE TO NOON, turn on your
headlights (and Emergency Flashers)....we ARE in an EMERGENCY!
Also, TRUCK DRIVERS and travelers, at ONE MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT,
flash your MARKER LIGHTS as you PRAY FOR AMERICA!
I know this seems like such a trivial method....BUT GOD CAN
USE THE FOOLISH THINGS to spark a fresh move of His Spirit
in our land .....and REAWAKEN our hearts and turn us back
to Him! We are so divided. This time of prayer can reunite us!
PLEASE, copy and pass this on! WHO KNOWS what blessing it
could bring to our land? We can ALL use a miracle!
America, may God once again shed His Grace on thee!
May there be standing room only before His Throne!

Time does not stand still.
Events are happening every second.
If all you have is a need,
pray for God to reveal His plan.
You are not defeated
if you keep getting up.
Choose, control and direct your thoughts
to turn events and circumstances into a blessing.
Focus only on things that are worthwhile
and are worth building
Your hope for a better tomorrow
begins with images in your mind today.
The hottest furnace
produces the purest ore.
Place all your confidence in God,
not in your circumstances
The brightest thunderbolt
will be found in the darkest storm
Focus on helping others, not on yourself,
and the help you need, will overtake you.
Choose to see good in others
and in yourself.
You have two ears, two eyes and one mouth.
Use them wisely in the proportion they are given.

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
My heart's desire and my prayer is that the anointing of the Holy Ghost be upon me as I write and that I hear with clarity what I am to share so that it may be a blessing to others. Although the words I write are sent to thousands of brothers and sisters through out the world, I am so happy to hear from many of you that the WORD is a SPECIFIC WORD from the Lord to you when I send out a mailing.
Some have asked if I am hearing from other members in the body that they are going through some of the most challenging battles they ever have. The answer is "Yes, from numerous brothers and sisters." You are not alone in the fiery battles, tests, trials and challenges you face. It is not good to try to go it alone. We all need each other. As brothers and sisters in the Body of Jesus Christ, we need to press on, press through and press over together. Divided we fall, but United we stand. Satan cannot defeat us if we hold fast to God's Word and His precious promises. We all reap in due season our just due, when we faint not! God has no respect of persons!!! He is bringing us all through the fires again!!! All our battles are the Lord's, and we are the victorious every time.
Your prayer requests become my prayer requests. I expect God to manifest Himself mighty and strong in your life, as I agree with you in prayer! I rejoice over praise reports that you share. Thank you for your prayers for me and my household, and all that pertains to us, and for all of your encouraging words.
May God bless you abundantly to the full, to the overflow in every area of your life. Always remember, Jesus loves you and I do too.

If you live only by what you have to offer,
your life will be mediocre.
If your live by what our Lord has made available
your life will be full.
People, places and things that created yesterday's pain
have no power to control tomorrow's potential.
God is not looking at where you stumbled yesterday.
He is looking at the possibilities of tomorrow.
God will never lead you
where His grace cannot keep you.
You cannot change the past.
Let it go, in Jesus name!
Never attempt to build anything on lies or half truths.
It will not stand.
Only the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH can make you free
And only the TRUTH will last.
A child of God has seeds of His nature within
enabling you to believe, decide and choose the miracles that come into your life.
Miracles start with your thinking, believing and confessing.
Miracle blessings are rewards from God when you use your faith in Him.
What you believe, respect and pursue
you will receive and posses in time, if you don't give up!

HANG IN THERE!!!
HANG IN THERE!!!
Is your pathway a bit unsteady or unsettled ?
Do you have unfinished business going on in your life?
God sees you right now. He is mindful of all your efforts.
Do not fear tomorrow. God is already there, and ALL is WELL!
The favor and hand of the Lord is upon you.
As you allow Him to lead you, He will ordain your steps,
He will make rough spots smooth, and crooked paths straight
He will lead you to success, victory and happiness.
It is not what you have that is important,
but what you 'do' with 'what you have' makes the difference.
All are created equal. Each person is given 24 hours each day.
It is not so much how 'busy' you are that matters, but rather 'how much' you get done.
God moves through your faith progressively.
Sometimes it seems only by a small step at a time.
You may not even realize how much He has done
Until you have arrived safely on the other side of your test or trial.
Hang in there!!!
Be be encouraged!
Praise God!
And change your future!

You will understand the trial
when you get through it and receive the blessing.
Experience is the best teacher.

Food For Thought August 2, 2008
God's Plans for you provide Hope and a Future.
Don't allow problems to remain as illusions in your mind.
Fret, doubt and worry corrode the channel of the flow of Holy Spirit
If unchecked they will block the channel.
You are in this world
But you are not of this world.
God desires to elevate you to a place
where your worries will be a distant memory.
Do not surrender the control of you life over to fears or foes.
Replace negative words and thoughts such as "IMPOSSIBLE"
with wise words of Jesus such as...... If thou canst believe,
all things are POSSIBLE to him that believeth. Mark 9:23.
Your happiness depends on what you believe.
This is why it is so important that what you are believing
is based on the TRUTH.
In every area of your life, what you believe makes all the difference.
Let Go and let God take over!
Then, He will turn everything around for your good
Put everything in GOD'S hands and
IT SHALL BE WELL!

God's Hate List
Seven Things God Hates
Proverbs 6:16-19
These Six Things doth the Lord hate:
yea seven are an abomination to Him:
(1) A proud look
(2) A lying tongue and
(3) Hands that shed innocent blood
(4) An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations
(5) Feet that be swift in running to mischief
(6) A false witness that speaketh lies
(7) And he that soweth discord among the brethren.
Seven Sins Of The Wicked
Proverbs 6:12-15
A naughty person, a wicked man,
walketh with a froward mouth,
He winketh with his eyes,
he speaketh with his feet,
he teacheth with his fingers,
Frowardness is in his heart,
he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;
Suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
Vengeance is the Lord's He will repay everyone's just due
(whatever that is in God's sight) in due season.
What shall we then say to these things,
If God be for us who can be against us? Romans 8:31
We ARE TO rejoice because our names are written in heaven.
We ARE NOT to rejoice because the spirits are subject to us.
We ARE NOT to rejoice at anyone's calamity.
Beware of those who
(1) "Say" and "do not"
(2) Judge
(3) Criticize and condemn others
(4) Who are full of pride and an evil eye
(5) Attempt to take dominion over you for God is to be over all and it is His desire to be IN all.
(6) Speak death over others.... especially when they have given a word and the other person did not obey. (7) Exalt themselves for they shall be abased according to the Words of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
GOD says what He means and means what He says.
He has no respect of persons.
He is the Lord
He changes not.
Casting down principalities, powers, imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and God's plan for our life, I remain
In His Service,
