TAKE A REALLY DEEPBREATH...

......

Just Stay

A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.



"Your son is here," she said to the old man.



She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened.


Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of

love and encouragement.


The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile.

He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.


Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.

Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.


Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.


"Who was that man?" he asked.

The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered.

"No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life."


"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"


"I knew right away there had been a mistake,

but I also knew he needed his son, and his

son just wasn't here.

When I realized that he was too sick to tell

whether or not I was his son, 

knowing how much he needed me, I stayed."

I came here tonight to find a Mr. William Grey. His Son was Killed in Iraq today, and I was sent to inform him. What was this Gentleman's Name? The Nurse with Tears in Her Eyes Answered, Mr. William Grey.............

The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.

*THIRTY SECONDS ON SEX*

*Words of Inspiration from a friend, thought you would like it. Please let me know, YES or NO.*
30 seconds on Sex: “It’s that time of year again,” she thought, “Time to put up the Christmas tree, deck the halls with lots of lights, and finish my Christmas list”. Then came a knock at the door. It was the mailman, bringing her a package in her husband’s name. She assumed it was a gift and didn’t want to spoil the surprise by opening it. Returning home, her husband took the package into the room and shut the door. Later in the evening after their passions were satisfied, she asked him who the gift was for. “Myself”, he said. Puzzled, she asked him what it was and he replied, “The Bible. I wanted to make sure Christmas wasn’t just about gifts this year”. This year, remember the real reason for celebrating is the birth of Jesus. Luke 1:31 “You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus”.

 

*IT ALL STARTED WITH CHRIST*

CHRISTmas starts with CHRIST, Salvation starts with CHRIST, ETERNAL LIFE starts with Christ, have you met the CHRIST?

***Salvation Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to You in the Name of Jesus.
You said in Your Word,"...if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, Thou Shalt Be Saved" (Romans 10:9).

I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

I believe He was raised from the dead for my justification.

Your Word says,"...with the Heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" ( Rom. 10:10).

I do believe with my heart, and I now confess with my mouth Jesus as my Lord. Therefore, I am saved!

Thank You, Lord!

If you have prayed this prayer sincerely from your heart, then the Bible says you are now saved! To grow in your new Christian life, it is important to study the Bible and to pray every day to your Heavenly Father. You also need to belong to a good, Bible-based church where you can be taught the Word of God.

Welcome to the family of God!***Pastor Jack<><

*THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT*

*Meditate on God's Word, and do what according to all that is written, then shall we make our way prosperous and have good success. We are to attend to His Word, submit to His sayings, keep them in the center of our hearts, and put away contrary talk. *(Proverb 4:20-24)

**When we use God's Word in prayer, this is not something we just rush through uttering once, and we are finished. Do not be mistaken. There is nothing "magical" nor "manipulative" about it-no set pattern or device in order to satisfy what we want or think out of our flesh. Instead we are holding God's Work before Him. We are just confessing what He has said belongs to us. We are in an agreement with Him.

***We expect His divine intervention while we choose not to look at the things that are not seen but at the things that are unseen, for the things are seen are subject to change.***(2 Cor. 4:18.)

*It is not just saying prayers that gets results, it is spending time with the Father. We will draw strength, wisdom, and peace from His presence.Amen*<((><Pastor Jack

Real Meaning of Christmas/Small child narrates the Nativity

*Matthew 1:18-24*Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately. But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us. And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;*

*Isaiah 7:14*Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.*<((><Rev.Jack

*THE BATTLE THAT GOES ON INSIDE EACH OF US*

                                  *WE WILL HAVE TO FIGHT EACH DAY TO OVER COME THE DARK SIDE!*

 

One evening an old man told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

One is Evil – It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good – It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”

The old man simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Which wolf are you feeding now?

        

                    

*WE WILL HAVE TO FIGHT EVERY DAY TO OVERCOME THE EVIL*

I have a small nugget for you: 

*Jesus has said that we should love and pray for those who hate us. With the help of the Holy Spirit we can do so. That is the only goodness that we can count on. But He never said that we should surrender to them.*

KAFIR THE WORD SHOULD BE USED INSTEAD OF "UNBELIEVER"!

Kafir The word Kafir should be used instead of "unbeliever"

KAFIR

The language of Islam is dualistic. As an example, there is never any reference to humanity as a unified whole. Instead there is a division into believer and Kafir (unbeliever). Humanity is not seen as one body, but is divided into whether the person believes Mohammed is the prophet of Allah or not.

Kafir is what the Koran and Islam call the unbelievers. Kafir is the worst word in the human language.

The Koran (Quran) defines the kafir and says that the kafir is:

Hated- 40:35 They who dispute the signs of Allah [kafirs] without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers. So Allah seals up every arrogant, disdainful heart. and despised by Allah.

Mocked- 83:34 On that day the faithful will mock the kafirs, while they sit on bridal couches and watch them. Should not the kafirs be paid back for what they did?

Punished- 25:77 Say to the kafirs: My Lord does not care for you or your prayers. You have rejected the truth, so sooner or later, a punishment will come.

Beheaded- 47:4 When you encounter the kafirs on the battlefield, cut off their heads until you have thor-oughly defeated them and then take the prisoners and tie them up firmly.

Confused- 6:25 Some among them listen to you [Mohammed], but We have cast veils over their [kafirs] hearts and a heaviness to their ears so that they cannot understand our signs [the Koran].

Plotted against- 86:15 They plot and scheme against you [Mohammed], and I plot and scheme against them. Therefore, deal calmly with the kafirs and leave them alone for a while.

Terrorized- 8:12 Then your Lord spoke to His angels and said, "I will be with you. Give strength to the believers. I will send terror into the kafirs' hearts, cut off their heads and even the tips of their fin-gers!"

Annihilated- 6:45 So the kafirs were annihilated. All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

Killed- 4:91 If they do not keep away from you or offer you peace or withdraw their hostilities, then seize them and kill them wherever they are. We give you complete authority over them.

Crucified- 5:33 The only reward for those who war against Allah and His messengers and strive to com-mit mischief on the earth is that they will be slain or crucified, have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land. This will be their disgrace in this world, and a great torment shall be theirs in the next except those who repent before you overpower them. Know that Allah is forgiving and merciful.

Made war on- 9:29 Make war on those who have received the Scriptures [Jews and Christians] but do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day. They do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden. The Christians and Jews do not follow the religion of truth until they submit and pay the poll tax [jizya], and they are humiliated.

A Muslim is not the friend of a kafir- 3:28 Believers should not take kafirs as friends in preference to other believers. Those who do this will have none of Allah's protection and will only have themselves as guards. Allah warns you to fear Him for all will return to Him.

A kafir is ignorant- 6:111 Even if We had sent down the angels to them [kafirs], the dead had spoken to them, and We had gathered all things before their eyes, they would not believe unless Allah had willed it, but most of them are ignorant.

Evil- 23:97 And say: Oh my Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones [kafirs]. And I seek refuge with you, my Lord, from their presence.

Disgraced- 37:18 Tell them, "Yes! And you [kafirs] will be disgraced." a partner of Satan 25:55 And still they worship others besides Allah who can neither help nor hurt them. The kafir is Satan's ally against Allah.  

Unclean- 9:28 Oh, believers, only the kafirs are unclean.

Cursed- 33:60 They [kafirs] will be cursed, and wherever they are found, they will be seized and murdered. It was Allah's same practice with those who came before them, and you will find no change in Allah's ways.

Stolen from- Bukhari 5,59,537 On the day of Khaybar, Allah's Apostle divided the spoils of war of Khaybar with the ratio of two shares for the horse and one share for the foot soldier.

Raped- Ishaq 759 [Mohammed's official biography] On the occasion of Khaybar, Mohammed put forth new orders about forcing sex with captive women. If the woman was pregnant she was not to be used for sex until after the birth of the child. Nor were any women to be used for sex who were unclean with regard to Muslim laws about menstruation.

Christians and Jews are infidels, but infidels are kafirs, too. Polytheists are Hindus, but they are also kafirs. The terms infidel and polytheist are religious words. Only the word "kafir" shows the common political treatment of Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, animist, atheist and humanist.

The word kafir should be used instead of "unbeliever", the standard word. Unbeliever is a neutral term. The Koran defines the kafir and kafir is not a neutral word. A kafir is not merely someone who does not agree with Islam, but a kafir is evil, disgusting, the lowest form of life. Kafirs can be tortured, killed, lied to and cheated. So the usual word "unbeliever" does not reflect the political reality of Islam.


Evil- 23:97 And say: Oh my Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones [kafirs]. And I seek refuge with you, my Lord, from their presence.

Jesus will bring Salvation to those Muslims who ask Him to forgive them and believes His Word.

"Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them." ( Deuteronomy 4:9)
