My Time With Jesus Tuesday

The Presence Of God

Psalm 16:11, He will show me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy, at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Do you feel far from God, the Lord Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit? Are your prayers being answered? Are you feeling that life is crushing you?

The answer is simple. God is not far from you; you may be far from Him. You do not know Him on a personal level. If you are saved, you should know that Jesus is in you all the time. Spend some time in the Bible, maybe the Psalms to start with. You will quickly see where you are, and where God is.

Let me ask you this. If you knew someone who acknowledged your existence only when they desperately needed help, what kind of relationship do you suppose that would be?

God is our creator, not our servant. He knows everything about us; what do we know about Him? He knows how we are, but He loves us anyway. If we really knew Him, we would love Him. We would talk to Him during the day and listen for His voice. It wouldn’t take very long, and you would hear His voice in your heart, and you’d also hear His voice from the Bible.

The closer we get to God, and know Him, the stronger our relationship will be with Him. We will be able to hear His voice and follow His plan, because as you can imagine, His plan is better than anything we could come up with.

Over time you’ll find that your decisions are much better. And the things that you did get wrong, perhaps you aren’t listening. So do yourself a giant favor, get to know our Savior Jesus Christ. After all we should not act on what we don’t know. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

 Prayer of Salvation.

 My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

Each Day

Romans 8:28, and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God to those who are called according to His purpose.

In our modern world, most people are so stressed out, they become ill looking for a way out. What causes stress? What it all boils down to is, each of us causes our own stress. Before you write me off as a nut, read on.

I think that most people would agree that we live in a world gone mad. Common sense and what we used to call fair play or truth, no longer exists. Most people, probably 80% or so, consider only themselves and what they think or do.

In light of all of this, how can anyone think or plan even the rest of this day, let alone tomorrow. The number of variables make your head spin. There is after all no logic to anything. It then stands to reason that stress is related to the number of decisions we make, and how far into the future we make them.

The Bible says that God wants us to depend on Him one day at a time. As part of this, God has a custom plan for each of us and for our good. When we go to God, He knows everything, and He can make all the pieces come together. We can’t do that. Fortunately for us though, His plan is better than anything we can come up with.

By now you can probably see that the more decisions you make, the more liable you are to create stress for yourself, because you cannot see all the things that are working against you. If you get to know who God really is, you will begin to trust Him, and start leaving your plans in His hands so that He can guide you.

Psalm 50:15, Call upon Me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

 Remember Jesus loves you.

 Prayer of Salvation.

 My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

Another Message From The Past

Today was a glorious day outside. Warm, clear, sunny day only the Creator could come up with. It was about noon, and I was in my yard checking out all the berry plants that were coming out of their winter sleep. I happened to look down in front of me and I saw a shadow on my feet. At first, I was puzzled. How could that be? Then it dawned on me, since the sun was directly overhead, it had to be caused by my stomach. Good grief!

The last few months I thought of the possibility of weight gain, because I had some bad habits. Instead of controlling what I ate, I overate and prayed. I guess somehow, I thought it was magic or something, and I would not have to face the consequences.

Well today was wake up call. All my denial finally caught up with me. The Lord is loving and merciful, but he will not enable you to do what is not good for you or someone else. I shouldn’t complain though because I knew in my heart, I was wrong, but I refused to admit it even to myself.

Well, I prayed for help to overcome my problem and the Lord answered. He put in my heart, just as people throughout the Bible learned, I had to do my part. I had to reject my ways and face up to the fact that what I must do may not be pleasant, but that is the price for not being honest with myself to begin with.

Now I check out diets, go to the gym, and exercise in general. I do portion control, no matter how much I want more food like potato chips, ice cream, or fries. Sound familiar?

I realized God will help me, but at the same time, there is no free lunch. Someone pays. So now that I got over my initial shock and screwing my head on straight, everything is fine. In a few weeks, no more shadows. I will do what it takes with the help of our Lord Jesus Christ. It isn’t magic, it’s common sense, faith, and trust. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Understanding The Bible

John 1:1, In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.

Years ago, I was sitting around doing absolutely nothing as a lot of retired people do. I guess in desperation, and looking for something to do, I started to think. My thoughts took me back to when I first started to read the Bible.

I had an Old King James, that never had a page turned. I had no idea where to start, so I picked Jeremiah. Boy did I struggle. You would think it was written in Greek or some other very difficult foreign language. I know the original was but I’m just putting you on on this one.

2 Timothy 3:16-17, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for Doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction and righteousness. That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

After several frustrating attempts to make sense of it, I gave up. Several months later, my wife was watching an old-time preacher on TV, so I sat down to listen. Three seconds later he really came up with a good one. He said, the Bible is so easy to understand a five-year-old could do it. There was my answer. I was not five years old. Just kidding. 

One day I still moved to conquer the Bible. I was not going to let all the five-year-olds be smarter than me. I was on a quest. I went to a Christian bookstore and told the clerk about my problem. He suggested the Amplified Bible. It really helped, but I still ran into some questions. It was then that I found a study Bible. At last help in understanding. Then I started to buy different versions and compared the expert’s explaining things. There are differences.

Next, I bought Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, English Bible dictionary. Strong’s Concordance came next. I didn’t want to leave a single stone unturned. I finally found an ESV spirit filled study bible it became my #1 Bible. The spirit filled is the Holy Spirit.

About a year ago I bought an MP3 player for about 50 dollars. You can take it anywhere. Use it when you don’t feel like reading. I started listening to it while reading the same scripture. It was kind of like a double shot, I really enjoyed doing it that way.

Romans 15:4, For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Another item you can find for as little as 50 or 60 dollars is a set of CDs that cover the entire Bible. If you have a problem reading, listening would be very good for you. A method I’ve found is a DVD of the Bible that not only shows you the scripture on TV, but it reads it out loud.  You can buy these items from Amazon or a good Christian bookstore. I know any of these will help you to avoid some of the frustration that I originally experienced. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

 Remember Jesus loves you.

 Prayer of Salvation.

 My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and Resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

Truth Doesn’t Change

Proverbs 23:7, as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

The other day I was looking over some of the messages from the past. And a couple of them caught my eye. I thought it would be a good idea to see if anything that was said then is any different than what is said now. So, at this point I will write about a message from 10 years ago. I hope you find it interesting.

Many people in our church seemed to have a lot of personal problems. They are always tired, always sick, always broke, to name a few.

Joel Osteen published a book that fascinated me. He called it I declare. I couldn’t put it down. I felt that the Holy Spirit was telling me to share some of these thoughts with a group of people at church. It concerned the power of the words we use.

Proverbs 18:21, life and death are in the power of the tongue.

 It seems to me since the Bible is God’s letter of instructions for eternal life and blessings on Earth, words must really be important. At the time we were discussing the fact that whatever you verbalize goes into your spiritual word world and starts working. Kind of like a computer, you put garbage in, you get garbage out. Put in the good stuff, and it is a marvel.

You probably know from experience, if you get up and tell yourself you’re tired, you will be. The more you dwell on it, the more tired you get. Hate your job? The more you complain about it, the more you will hate it.

If you’re a negative thinker, your life will be what you think. You will always be tired, broke, hate your job, and experience one catastrophe after another, and I see it in many people, but they are in denial. It stands to reason that if negative is true, the positive must also be true.

To see if I’m talking through my hat, try this for a couple weeks and see for yourself. Take a good attitude about everything. When you get up in the morning, say to yourself out loud, something wonderful is going to happen to me and my family today. Say it, believe it, expect it. 

Other examples are, I really feel-good today. I’ve never had so much pep. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Put a positive spin on everything and say it out loud. Do not verbalize negative thoughts. When it comes right down to it you can ask your spouse to help keep an eye on what you are saying. So, I hope all this puts a fresh Light on the importance of words. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

The Past Is A Clue

Ecclesiastes 7:10, do not say, why were the former days better than these? for you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

Most of us tend to live in the past to some degree. Ordinarily that is considered a bad thing to do because you can’t change it. I heartily agree with that. 

If you sit down and look at your past, going back as far as you can remember, you will run across things that are a bad memory. Even as children we do things we’re not happy about later. You can go all the way through life from say the first grade all the way to the present time. Most people say, if I knew what I know now, I would do it differently. Well, my friends this is where looking at it differently comes in handy. Consider what you would do if you had Jesus back then, and you will probably see how many important things in your life that didn’t turn out exactly what you would have liked, would be different.

If you apply the lessons taught by Jesus you know now, you can probably find many situations that would have turned out the way you would have been happy about years later. Well, it is true we cannot go back and do it all over. But here comes the good part. If you have been saved you are living in the Christ part of History.

Philippians 3:13, brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended but one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.

All of us have a chance to apply what we know and do it right from today on. Someday, the time we are living in now will be in the past. The big difference now would be when you look at the past, and apply what you know now about the Lord, things will be totally different, and it will be positive and filled with the good things that the blessing of God has provided to you. This time you will realize how blessed you have been.

Well, my friends it doesn’t matter what age you are now. All of this applies to you as well as to me. I look back at many years where things could have been very different if I had known better. I don’t deal with the past anymore. I only use my past life as a kind of history book to help me for the rest of my life. Knowing what I messed up, and putting in the love of Jesus for me, I can have the rest of my life as something to be proud of.

In a nutshell this is the way I look at things now. I will never ever in my lifetime look back and condemn myself for all my mistakes. Remember you are never too old to start again and do it right. Jesus loves you, and He’s always with you, and you have His word on it. He said He will never leave you nor forsake you. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and Resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen

Praise The Lord!

Things To Remember

Proverbs 16:3, Commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established.

If you are familiar with the messages, we have been writing over the last several years, you know we cover a variety of subjects. Today I thought we might look at some basic truths that you’ve heard before and use them as kind of a refresher. I know there are times that I read something over, just to put it back in focus in my mind. I know most of what’s coming is set in the past by me as well as many other people. But here are a few important ones off the top of my head.

Many times, being Human, we start out with a good idea in our own minds. At that point we make plans, and we try to figure out every conceivable way there is to make that plan happen. Well, my friends, as you know by now the Lord doesn’t look at things the way we do. He knows the future and guides are path. We can make all the plans we want but He knows what is best for us. He will let us do what we want if we insist, but he won’t let our mistakes hurt us to the point where we lose faith in Him. I have found the best way to do anything about plans is once I get a plan, I turn it over to Him and I ask Him to give me the best result. It works every time.

Proverbs 16:9, the heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

The next thing we must remind ourselves is that God loves us unconditionally. Even when we screw up and sometimes forget about Him, He never forgets about us. When we do get kind of lacks in our relationship with Him, satan tries to step in and make matters worse. You can see it coming and you know in your heart, so when that happens tell satan that he has no power over you in Jesus’ name. Then call on the Lord and make your peace with Him. He will never leave you nor forsake you, so keep that in your mind. Fortunately for us He doesn’t think like we do.

Proverbs 19:21, many plans are in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

One of the reasons we are on this Earth is to tell the world about the Lord Jesus Christ. When Jesus was here, He told the apostles to go out in the world and teach the word so that all the world would know. He also told them that if a town did not accept them to shake the dust off their shoes and move on. 

There are many times that we feel because we’re not helping people find the Lord, we are failures.  Through our actions we can influence many people and not even know it. If you’re supposed to talk to someone about Jesus, I believe the Holy Spirit will put it in your heart to do just that. It will also make the person you’re talking to receptive to what you say. So, if you have days or weeks, however long without actually speaking to anyone about Jesus, don’t beat yourself up. I believe if you were meant to do that the Holy Spirit would have made it happen.

Proverbs 20:24, a man’s steps are from the Lord how then can man understand his way?

So, there you have it. Just a few little reminders about things you’ve already heard that sometimes slip into the back of your mind because you’re involved in other things right now. The Lord Jesus Christ knows we are human, but he loves us anyway no matter what. So, when it comes right down to it love Him back with all your heart and make sure your actions reflect Jesus to everyone you meet. God bless you and your family. Amen. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

A Relationship With Jesus

2 Corinthians 5:7, So if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation, old things have passed away; behold all things have become new.

We have all heard about seeking the kingdom first and having a relationship with the Lord. I think what we sometimes don’t realize that one usually leads to the other. As you are seeking the kingdom, you are building a relationship.

On our own we can do nothing. Take for instance New Year’s resolutions. We all make them with the best intentions including a determination to keep them. What usually happens with 90% of us, we fail.

We can say to ourselves that we will for instance study the Bible every day for two hours. We are sincere in that thought, but it is destined to fail. When it does fail, we feel bad and sometimes we even feel very guilty. The fact is we have set ourselves up for failure.

The big thing we need to do is to take it as the Lord gives it to us. What I mean by that is, if you are sincere in your heart about building a relationship with the Lord, He will lead you in ways you don’t even realize. You will start doing things like reading the Bible, thinking about Him or even talking to Him in private.

Matthew 6:33, Seek first the kingdom of God and His, righteousness and all things shall be added to you.

As we should all know by now, works will not cause us to have that relationship. Try looking at it this way. If you had a very good friend that really cared about you, wouldn’t you want to spend more time with them. That will eventually become a relationship. Now if that friend told you that he or she wanted to take you to an expensive lunch, and all you had to do is ask him, you would probably jump at it.

Like any relationship, it basically boils down to one thing. That one thing is that you know the other person so well that you know exactly what to expect in every situation. An example would be for instance if you’re talking about the Lord, that you pray for something and because you have an intimate relationship with Him you know you will get what you asked. There’s absolutely no doubt in your mind.

So, take some private time with the Lord, in the beginning of the day, even if you must get up a few minutes early and tell Him what’s in your heart. Through the Holy Spirit you will be led to do the right thing. Just pay attention to that little voice in your heart, and your relationship will grow. You will be on the right track to a fantastic relationship with the Lord without even realizing it. You will have peace in your heart, and in your heart, you will know that He loves you, and you can love Him back.

Jeremiah 24:7, Then I will give them a heart to know me that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

A Real Super Prayer

Matthew 21:22, Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.

A couple of years ago my wife and I sat down and decided to take advantage of what the Lord said for us to do.  We took one afternoon and made a list of things we were concerned about or wanted for one reason or another. We came up with a list which included 10 items. It was probably about a year ago. As I write this 7 of the items have manifested. I honestly must admit that we really stretched the point on some of them, because our thought was, if God’s promises are real and nothing is impossible, it is a no-brainer. And we did believe his promises were real.

Mark 9:23, Jesus said to him if you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.

I will describe the exact process we used in writing this prayer. First, we looked at what was very important to us no matter how impossible it seemed. We believed what the Bible said, and we put God under the gun. That may not be the best way to describe it but in fact that’s what it was. Maybe our thinking was a little fuzzy, but we were going to find out once and for all what this faith thing was all about.

We made a list of everything that we wanted to see change in our lives. When we finished the list, we took it to the Lord, and listed some scriptures that backed up what we were doing.

2 Corinthians 5:7, for we walk by faith not by sight.

It’s possible to go on and on and find scriptures backing up what we’re talking about, but you really don’t need more than a few. Make sure it’s a few you can really believe. It is very important, we think, that you write this prayer out to make it become more real to you. Write that prayer as if you were speaking to the Lord in person because really you are. Tell Him how you feel and why. Put everything down in this letter, your petition, and scriptures to back up your faith. Naturally when you finish, thank Him and Praise Him.

Read this letter to God as a prayer. Again, remind Him that you trust Him. Be sure to read it aloud, because hearing what you say adds to making it real. You must hear yourself saying everything in the letter.

Every day, first thing in the morning, and the last thing at night, repeat everything in the letter only this time say it out loud as Thanksgiving for already receiving what you read. You will find as you say the words, and say that you believe, you will reach a point where there is no doubting in your mind, you have what you say.

It takes a little while for any item to manifest, but just relax it’s in the works, God says so. Almighty God does not go back on His word. If He said it, He will do it. If a little doubt creeps into your mind occasionally, just tell satan it is his doubt and not yours. If you truly put all of your cares, and trust in the Lord, He will never fail you.

That really is all. You don’t have to be elaborate, use a lot of words, or anything like that. Just tell our Lord what’s in your heart and remind Him of His word and thank Him for making it happen. He does not have to be reminded, we do. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Chris, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

God Loves You

John 3;16-17, For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life; indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through Him.

Not everyone believes that the lord loves him. They may be going through a rough stretch and are kind of bewildered by it all. This is the time that it is most dangerous for anyone. The reason it is so dangerous is that satan likes to jump on these things and blow them way out of proportion to what they really are. He knows if you can believe what he is telling you, he can put you into total despair.

As you go through life things for most people do not work out as they had planned. Some people take that as meaning God does not love them. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Again, I speak from experiences I have had in my life where it seemed that no matter what I did it turned out wrong. For some reason though the Lord was with me because I never blamed Him or felt total despair. I did experience times when I felt depressed, but I quickly got over it.

1 John 4:16, So we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love and those who abide in love abide in God and God abides in them.

When I was young, I found so many ways to sin it would boggle your mind. Quite a lot of it I thought was innocent at the time. I worried about things like money to the point where that was number one in my life, and there were other Idols thrown in, but somehow the Lord did not let me go.

I don’t know what your problem is, all I know is it’s not too big for the love of God. He loves you no matter what. There will be times in your life, as there were in mine, when He will keep you from doing something that will take you away from Him.  I believe the Lord takes that chance because He loves you so much and doesn’t want to lose you.

Romans 5:8, But God proves His love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

Over the years I began to realize there was a small voice in my heart that was telling me the right thing to do, but I was totally ignoring it. If not for the love of God for me, I honestly believe I’d be dead by now.

As always satan will try his best to turn you against the Lord. But if you get it in your head and in your heart how much the Lord loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him follow that little voice in your heart. It is probably the Holy Spirit trying to get you on the right path to Salvation.

Ephesians 2:4-5, But God who is rich in mercy out of the great love with which He loved us even when we were dead through trespasses made us alive together with Christ-by Grace you have been saved.

We all receive blessings from the Lord even though we don’t deserve them. He gives us salvation if we accept it, even though we don’t deserve it.  His great love for us makes everything okay. Just stick with it, read the word, because it has been described as God’s love letter to us, and a road map to Heaven.

 God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

 Remember Jesus loves you.

 Prayer of Salvation.

 My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins and by your stripes I was healed. Your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen

Praise The Lord!

God's Promises Sunday

 

                   Light Vs Darkness

John 1:5, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Darkness cannot overcome light. The world we live in is a good example of that statement.

Our creator God Almighty, gave the universe especially our world, to the care of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the light. A small percentage of people in this world follow the light reflected by the Lord Jesus Christ. They chose to follow Him and His teachings.

The larger percentage of people are in darkness, because they chose to follow the Prince of Darkness, satan.

John 8:12, Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.

The people of God, pray for those who follow satan. Their eyes are wide open, and their hearts are full of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We know, by deceiving Adam and Eve, satan introduced mankind to sin and evil. satan is still the master deceiver. He makes sin of all kinds, seem like the answer to happiness.

John 9:5, As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Christians accept accountability for their actions, while unbelievers feel no accountability for their actions. As a matter of fact, it seems they search for even greater evil.

So here we are, living in a world where evil gets worse because more people are drawn to it. They hate the Lord Jesus and those who follow him. So why does almighty God allow all of this? The answer is Free Will. God wants to replace those who lost Heaven when they rebelled, so He gives each of us the opportunity to be saved.

Acts 26:18, To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the powers of satan to God; that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance serving among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

You have heard about the parable about the chaff and the wheat. Life is like that. Everyone does not go to Heaven, and the bad are chosen and cast out. The Lord God Almighty lets us decide by our actions where we end up for eternity.

Life is like a mist. It is impossible to come up with an example of how long eternity is compared to a lifetime. Those who endure through life and choose the Lord Jesus Christ will be rewarded.

Ephesians 6:12, For we do not wrestle against flesh and Blood, but against principalities, against Powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the Heavenly places.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, and by your stripes I was healed. Your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank You, Amen. 

Praise The Lord!
