Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the solid foundation that you have given me; so I have something stable to stand on. Your love is such an awesome gift I will never be able to thank you enough. In Jesus Name Amen
“The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone” 1 Peter 2:7
Exodus 14: 14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.
Dear Heavenly Father, please surround me in your greatness. Take away anything that does not serve Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Encompass me with your loving arms. In Jesus Name Amen
2 Kings 6:16 “Stop being afraid, because there are more with us than with them!”
Through Faith god has given us a path to eternal life; it is all we need to know Jesus Christ John 3 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. If you believe Matthew 21 22 If you believe, you will receive what you ask for when you pray,” God sacrificed his one and only son to forgive our sins then when you have faith Matthew 21 21 Jesus replied, “What I’m about to tell you is true. You must have faith and not doubt this is all God wants us to have to be one of his children.
In the Dictionary Faith is quoted as: a strong belief or trust in someone or something
There are many stories in the bible where Jesus healed and took care of people because they had unconditional faith in him Matthew 9 2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed (disabled) man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”6 he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” 7 Then the man got up and went home. In Luke by Jesus just seeing faithfulness he forgave Luke 5 20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” Yet another story just by a touch a women who had a disorder that had made her bleed for 12 years was healed just by a touch because of her faith Luke 8 43 A woman was there who had a sickness that made her bleed. Her sickness had lasted for 12 years. No one could heal her. 44 She came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his clothes. Right away her bleeding stopped. 45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everyone said they didn’t do it. Then Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pushing against you.”46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me. I know that power has gone out from me.”47 The woman realized that people would notice her. Shaking with fear, she came and fell at his feet. In front of everyone, she told why she had touched him. She also told how she had been healed in an instant. 48 Then he said to her, “Dear woman, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” To gain righteousness all we need is faith Romans 1 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” In the bible it explains that through faith and not good works or the law that we are saved because Christ took our sins on the cross. Galatians 3 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.” 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
Always remember believe, have faith, that is what he wants and you can never love too much!
He Will Never Forgive Me!
I have talked with so many friends and people who have told me many times “I have done too many bad things there is no hope for me”. Did you know that God loves you and wants to know you more! He will forgive you and help you to know him better. One of the best explanations I ever heard; What would you do for your children? I know I would do anything! God is our Father, our Dad so what do you think he would do for you as one of his children?
One of the most powerful stories in the bible will show you yes you can.
Who was Saul? Acts 13:9 9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul.
1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing!
3 Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!
5 For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.
Do not be religious the bible forbids it! As we are new Christians or are looking for answers to all the questions to the universe it is hard and sometimes confusing. Over here this guy said to follow the books of law, but wait a second this other person said that you can do what ever you want, no she said it is entirely different. The tug of war that we feel sometimes can tear us apart and make so that we turn away from what is most important! God and what he has shared with us in the bible is what matters! Did you realize that when you go to a church you are not there for the people at the church but for the one that sent us there in the first place, the people at the church are there to share in the love that God has given each and every one of us (they are there for support). This tug of war is the gateway to a religious person! For me I will sit down and pray and ask God to show me what he wants for me it is different for everyone but still it is the same.
Jesus gave us directions on how to pray
Matthew 6 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
When I pray I talk to God like I am talking to a friend. You do not have to go into a long drawn out speech a simple thank you lord, help lord, or you are awesome lord will do. When you have more to ask just talk, he can hear you! When I talk to him I start with Dear Heavenly Father, Others use Father God, still others start by saying Jesus it does not matter how you start as long as you pray. While praying remember how would you talk to a friend; relaxed, with love, with respect? Remember he already knows what we need all we have to do is ask. It takes humility to ask for what we need, when we go in front of him with humility and respect he will be there with his arms wide open. In Jesus name Amen!
If you do not pray how will you get that personal relationship that he wants to have with you?
Jeremiah29: 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity.
Philippians 4: 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests
1Thesilonians 5: 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks
These are just a few examples he wants you to talk to him; he will listen! The best thing about it is that he answers you.

The verse that is in bold is one that you will not find in most of the newest translations of the Holy Bible. We will continue to post the 11 verses that have been left out.
Matthew 17:14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.” 17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you do, all that you have shown me. With the great and awesome things that you do in my life it is hard to call it faith when you have made yourself so apparent that I know that you are here; Thank you again Lord. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, with all of the news surrounding us please comfort those who are afraid surround them in your love and let them know you got this! Thank you Lord; for your unwavering love and patience. In Jesus Name Amen

Dear Heavenly Father, help me to have the humility I need today. So that I may be unaffected by anything that comes my way so that I may be an example of what you are. Thank you Lord for your love and your forgiveness. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, please forgive me for passing judgement on others, I need to remember I am no better. Help give me the humility to share your word and give me the words that you want me to communicate to your children. Help clear my eyes so that I can reveal what you want revealed. In Jesus Name Amen
1 Corinthians 5:12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside.
Dear Heavenly Father, surround me in your light Lord, keep me from the darkness that threatens to surround me. Light the path that you want me to follow and guide every footstep that I take.

Ephesians 5: 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
1 John 3: 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
Why do we say we are like Jesus? We say we follow him and yet we do not love how he loves. We say we give but we do not give how he gives. We let fear and ego determine what our path is, he said that if we take his hand he will lead us. He said that when he is knocking if you answer the door he will come in and sit down with you. Jesus led by example. Time and time again he tells us what he wants us to do when you read the bible it is a road map and when you ask he will guide to what part of the map you need. It shows you how to love the way he loves, how to give the way he gives, and it will guide you on the path he wants you to walk.
Dear Heavenly Father, I want to be like you, I want to give like you. Please guide every step I take. In Jesus Name Amen
Luke 6: 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you have given me, all that you have shown me, and for your awesome grace. Lord the more I get to know you the more confidence that I have in you because of the unending support that you give. Lord I acknowledge your greatness how remarkable you are. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to imitate who you are, how you act, and how you love. Assistance me so I can determine what is right and what is wrong Lord. There are so many things that look like they are right and good but are behind a deceptive mask that is fooling so many. Please make it more than obvious Lord, hit me with that brick and show me what is good and help me to realize what is misleading Lord. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, give me the strength to forgive the foul people that have said malicious, spiteful, and nasty things about me. Help me not to hold the words and actions of these vindictive people in my heart because what they have to say does not matter. May I be the light in their darkness so that I may share you, the light in my darkness. In Jesus Name Amen
Matthew 5: 11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
1 Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
Destructive Heresies is a awesome article that is well worth the read!
Dear Heavenly Father, flow through my heart and soul helping me to share the great love that you have shown me. Give me the strength to share that love with everyone that I meet throughout my entire day. In Jesus Name Amen

Take away the items that are in me that restrict the bond that I yearn to have with you. Make evident everything that is in the way lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
I was having a discussion with a good friend the other day about what we make important in our lives. It reminded me of something; it always stuck out in my head ever since I was a child when it happened. This “Loony old Fart” would always talk about the Gods that people serve and all of the Gods that human beings have. This guy upset me “How dare he blasphemy Gods name”, as I have gotten older and understand things a little more. God has enlightened my view point; I understand what that “Loony old Fart” was talking about. The definition of IDOLATRY:
1: the worship of a physical object as a god
2: immoderate attachment or devotion to something
In this definition the second meaning is what he has illuminated on. An attachment or devotion to something kind of makes you think. I have a few of these attachments; fishing, hunting and cars to name a few. I could make a much larger list but basically anything that you cannot bring yourself to live without. God has the best definition: Colossians 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Which leads into another avenue that most people do not think about, like the other, I have a problem with this one every once in a while. Definition: ARROGANCE: an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions. This is Gods Definition: 1 Samuel 15: 23 Arrogance like the evil of idolatry. In these two verses we have a lot to think about! Or at least I do, that “Crazy old Fart” was not crazy after all he was just using the shock and awe method. It stuck with me and made so that it was something that I contemplated for years before God showed me what was meant by what he had said. So Which God do You Serve?
Some of my best memories were when my parents were extending out thier hand to comfort me, letting me know it was alright. Our Father in heaven does the same thing for us. He tells us in the bible that is there to comfort us and not to be afraid!Isaiah 41 13 For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
