Warning: World Wide Recall Notice

RECALL NOTICE:
The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.  This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code-named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.

Some of the symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction 2. Foul vocal emissions 3. Amnesia of origin 4. Lack of peace and joy 5. Selfish or violent behavior 6. Depression or confusion in the mental component 7. Fearfulness 8. Idolatry 9. Rebellion

Lighten Up – Leaves and Laughing

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone —

What happens when you cross a turkey with a centipede?  Everyone gets a leg at Thanksgiving

There’s 3 types of people in the world – those that are good in math and those that aren’t.

I wrote my letter to Santa Claus and asked for a fat wallet and a skinny body and then also stated, and please try not to confuse the two like last year.

 A wife asked her husband to go to the store and buy a carton of milk and she added, if they have avocados get six.   So when husband came home he had six cartons of milk and his wife asked why in the world did he buy six cartons of milk and he replied, because they had avocados.

Thinking she had possibly not heard me the first time, I decided to ask again. “How much time is the wait for a table?”

Looking up from her book, the hostess smiled and said “About ten minutes. We will inform you when your table is ready.”

A short time later, I heard an announcement over the intercom system, “Willette B. Long… Willette B. Long, your table is ready.”

An 84-year-old man was fishing in a boat in the middle of a lake, and he heard a voice – “pick me up”  and looking all around he did not see anything – then a few moments later came the voice, “pick me up” and the man looked down and saw a frog in the water and the frog said, “pick me up and kiss me and I will turn into a beautiful young lady and become your wife”  so the man picked up the frog and put it in his shirt pocket, and the frog said, ” Are you deaf, I said if you pick me up and kiss me I will turn into a beautiful young lady and will become your wife.”  But the man replied, ” at 84 I don’t really want or need a wife, but a talking frog – now that is something I can use.”  

Mother Teresa

“The highest form of worship is to find the least among you and treat them like Jesus.”

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.  Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.  Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.  Give your best anyway.  For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.” 

“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.” 

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” 

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”

God doesn’t require us to succeed, he only requires that you try.”

“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done.
We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.” 

-Mother Teresa

The Cashier began to cry stating this was one of the nicest things she had ever seen…

Galatians 6:10 says, “As you have the opportunity, do good unto all men, especially the household of faith.”  And Leonard Ravenhill once said, “The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized within the lifetime of the opportunity.” 

 

This past Friday while at a local grocery store, the elderly lady behind my son Jason accidentally bumped him with her cart, and we struck up a conversation with her as I was checking out – and my groceries were just being paid for and she kiddingly said I could pay for hers, and I agreed, but then she stated she was only kidding based on our conversation but I responded that I wasn’t kidding and wanted to do it. Of course she resisted.

I asked her if she was on a fixed income and she said yes, then I told her about another time I offered to pay for someone’s groceries

Sin that moves us out of the Presence of God

The Cure…….” written by Kathy Tanner-Nance from Montana – a new friend I just met on Facebook 

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us…” Hebrews 12:1 NKJV

If I am particularly stubborn about a weakness or sin of mine, God may force me to take “the cure.” The cure is described in Jeremiah 27:17; “Serve the king of Babylon, and live!”

Strange message indeed from a true servant of God, as Jeremiah was. We would expect to hear, “Serve the Lord and live!” But no, the right thing was wrong; the wrong thing was right.

There are times when God allows and even commands, me to do what He has expressly forbidden. “He that is filthy, let him be filthy still.” (Rev. 22:11)

“Come to Bethel [the house of God], and transgress.” (Amos 4:4)

I am shocked! Is that because God is unholy? Not in the least.

He urges that direction because He is holy; He simply wants me to get my fill of sin so completely that the very thought of it nauseates me. None of the prophets was able to convince Israel to leave their sins; yet seventy years in Babylon did what no prophet could do.

He sent them captive into the very fountainhead of idolatry, and they came out a cleansed and purified nation after seven decades.

Must God go to such extreme with me? Must I be submerged in sin in order to see its odiousness?

Lord, my prayer is, make me so sensitive to sin that its slightest presence will send me to Calvary’s blood for protection!

The distinguishing feature of any true disciple of Jesus is a paper-thin sensitivity to sin.

Being sensitive to sin means zero to NO tolerance of sin. No excuses, no justification, no looking the other way. It means we do not want sin in us, around us or continually in our presence. We live in a fallen world but the world cannot live in us.

When we become comfortable with sin around us, it will soon permeate into our lives and we will find ourselves justifying, accepting and enabling it to remain in our presence.

There is a price to pay for sin; the loss of God’s presence. He cannot be found in the atmosphere of sin. He turned His back on sin when His Son took our sins upon the cross, why would He be any different with my sin or the acceptance of sin around me?

I notice that in reading the biographies of the saints—-the slightest sin made them mourn, weep, and agonize.

Lord, make me averse to sin like that, for when I am averse to sin it means the Holy Spirit is deliberately refining me in the divine image; the new heart and the right spirit are displacing the old and the wrong.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God.

I know it is a week early for the Two Week’s Notice, but I just had to send out this cool report for you to rejoice with me about,  plus with ministry this Friday evening for Kingdom Encounter and then two sessions out in Seward Nebraska on Saturday I knew there would then be too much to write about next week,

so I decided to send it in part now.

 

I had a great and easy 12 hour drive to southwest Kansas and then ministered four separate times there, plus on the way home at a Maximum Security Prison in Tecumseh Nebraska on Monday.  I also wrote a brand new article in my  blog at the hotel the first night.  It is called, “Don’t Quit” and can be found here at www.anointed2go.com if you have not read it or want to share it with someone else.  The fountain picture below is a vivid reminder of how God will flow through us if we Don’t Quit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My host home was way out in the country, seven miles out a dirt road where each evening I encountered skunks and coyotes on my journey there. 

 

Don’t Quit – Getting past criticism and your past.

As I was driving today from Nebraska to southwest Kansas and listening to some of the newer worship music out of Bethel Church in Redding, I was thinking about several things.

I had a good friend who was running for US Congress this week and he did not win, and in fact was beaten by a very narrow margin.  He worked hard and I know he must be disappointed, perhaps even discouraged.   He is a godly man with great integrity and a fine track record in politics and realms of service to the general population.  Yet I know that discouragement can easily sneak in when we have worked hard and things don’t go as we had planned.
