Goals
It's important when God gives you a dream and vision make sure you write it down and share it with fellow believers who will pray along with you and believe God with you. Then after a time when the dream and vision turn into an actual plan write down your goals :)
Goals to ending homelessness for families and individuals.
1. FIND HOUSING
Help people quickly find housing.
Build relationships with landlords to have access to as many housing units as possible.
Find and secure housing as quickly as possible after a person or family becomes homeless.
2. HELP PAY
Limit the time a family or individual spends homeless. Move people into housing within 30 days or less.
3. PAY FOR HOUSING
Help people pay for housing short
term; longer-term help an option.
Pay for security deposits and move-in expenses.
4. CONNECT families and individuals to services and supports in the community.
If a home is not immediately available, a host family would take in an individual or family temporarily until a home would become available.
Study the Bible
Easy-to-Read Version
Isaiah 58:7
I want you to share your food with the hungry people. I want you to find poor people that don't have homes, and I want you to bring them into your own homes. When you see a man that has no clothes--give him your clothes! Don't hide {from helping those people}; they are just like you.
Keeping families together is important!
"Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten."
– David Ogden Stiers
"I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life."
– Barbara Bush
"What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family."
– Mother Teresa

Are you Homeless?
Are you Homeless?
1. Grab yourself a $10/month gym membership at Planet Fitness so you stay clean, you'll need money down, a checking account and ID.
2. If you're camping out in your car, make sure you park overnight in a well lit area where other cars park (like a hotel). It's VERY Important to park next to other cars so you won't be bothered
3. Try to have three outfits and wash your laundry often. Dress nicely everyday.
4. Eating out can be difficult if you don't have too much money, but there are places like Panera Bread and Starbucks that have a point system where you can earn free food! I eat at Starbucks almost everyday! They have FREE Wifi and you can have unlimited coffee and tea refills all day long with the GOLD CARD once you accumulate 30 stars, one item=one point, so buy one item at a time. Also watch your email for special offers for extra stars.
5. There is NO SHAME in asking for help! I've learned plenty of times to ask for help! People have often said to me: it's a shame I didn't know, I would have helped!
6. Do you need an address? Get a PO Box and use the street address, 123 Main St #555, Anytown, MA USA. It's a Safe and Secure way to get established. You will need to go online with a valid credit card, ID and pay for 3 months. It will generally cost between $15 & $25.
7. Prayer changes things! God Answers Prayer! Jesus, I put all my hope in You, I feel lost and I want to be found. I believe You came to my heart today, I was looking for someone to save me. I believe that You died for me, that when You died You took my place! I believe You rose into Heaven, and when You rose, You took all the pain in my heart, and brought me to New Life! I Love You Jesus, thank You for Loving me. Amen!

Isaiah 41:17-20
Isaiah 41:17-20
The Message
The poor and homeless are desperate for water,
their tongues parched and no water to be found.
But I'm there to be found, I'm there for them,
and I, God of Israel, will not leave them thirsty.
I'll open up rivers for them on the barren hills,
spout fountains in the valleys.
I'll turn the baked-clay badlands into a cool pond,
the waterless waste into splashing creeks.
I'll plant the red cedar in that treeless wasteland,
also acacia, myrtle, and olive.
I'll place the cypress in the desert,
with plenty of oaks and pines.
Everyone will see this. No one can miss it—
unavoidable, indisputable evidence
That I, God, personally did this.
It's created and signed by The Holy of Israel.

Isaiah 58:6-14
"Here is the sort of fast I want —
releasing those unjustly bound,
untying the thongs of the yoke,
letting the oppressed go free,
breaking every yoke,
sharing your food with the hungry,
taking the homeless poor into your house,
clothing the naked when you see them,
fulfilling your duty to your kinsmen!"
Then your light will burst forth like the morning,
your new skin will quickly grow over your wound;
your righteousness will precede you,
and Adonai's glory will follow you.
Then you will call, and Adonai will answer;
you will cry, and He will say, "Here I am."
If you will remove the yoke from among you,
stop false accusation and slander,
generously offer food to the hungry
and meet the needs of the person in trouble;
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your gloom become like noon.
Adonai will always guide you;
He will satisfy your needs in the desert,
He will renew the strength in your limbs;
so that you will be like a watered garden,
like a spring whose water never fails.
You will rebuild the ancient ruins,
raise foundations from ages past,
and be called "Repairer of broken walls,
Restorer of streets to live in."
"If you hold back your foot on Shabbat
from pursuing your own interests on my holy day;
if you call Shabbat a delight,
Adonai's holy day, worth honoring;
then honor it by not doing your usual things
or pursuing your interests or speaking about them.
If you do, you will find delight in Adonai —
I will make you ride on the heights of the land
and feed you with the heritage of your ancestor Ya'akov,
for the mouth of Adonai has spoken."

Vision to help the poor and homeless...
Vision to help the poor and homeless...
1. Heart healthy food
2. A lot of poor/homeless don't have places to cook canned/fresh food...so the answer would be gift cards for Boston Market, Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A, Wawa, and Panera Bread.
Gift cards for Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS are also helpful for personal items. Gift cards and cash for gas is helpful too, especially if they live in their car.
3. Some poor/homeless can't afford laundry facilities, offering to wash/return the clothes is extremely helpful
4. A lot of poor/homeless people aren't in good health, offering vitamins are helpful.
5. Many poor/homeless people are discouraged/depressed, A Kind Word helps, a cup of coffee, prayer helps, take them for a haircut, give a listening ear, and show them love!
6. If you've once been poor or you just want to give back or pay it forward to God, would you consider taking a soul into your home?
Remember one word, one kind deed, and a smile can change someone's day!
You can Save a Life before you Save a Soul!

Hope, Healing and Happiness
Hope, Healing and Happiness
We all need rest, we've all been in some type of emotional and physical pain. It's so essential that if you miss time, your body and mind will suffer. I've experienced loss of proper sleep by being in emotional and physical pain. I've lost a home, had to put everything I owned in storage, gave my belongings away, been homeless, lived and traveled in my car. I'm Passionate about Helping the Homeless because I lost my home 4 years ago due to Hurricane Irene. I've been blessed to have a car. I've met other homeless people who don't have a car to rest or travel in. Some have lost their home through natural circumstances or have lost jobs and have debilitating health problems. Most of all, the worst loss anyone can face is the loss of hope. There's no pill or substance that can give you hope. There's only a Perfect Love that can give you Hope. Once someone knows The Love of Jesus, He will give you True Peace.
I want to share my Dream and Vision of Hope with you. Because I didn't choose to be homeless, I truly believe it's the path God chose for my life, so I could see some things. My Prayer is to have Homes of Hope so people can rest and feel safe. Give people hope, real hope. Not occasionally when the weather is too cold or too hot, but a real place to live. Give people dignity, a place to belong. We're all part of a family, a great big family that cares for each other. When one person is broken, we lift each other up.
Homes of Hope would enable people to work and be cared for so no longer would they be seen as a burden on society. It would allow married couples to enjoy each other's company. It would allow families to stay together.

Tiny Houses for the Homeless
Tiny Houses for the Homeless
By Michelle Matthews | mmatthews@al.com
Email the author |September 16, 2015 at 11:20 AM
Since Aug. 31, a meme claiming that Mobile "is building a tiny house village to end homelessness" has made the rounds on Facebook. The post encourages people to "Like and share if you want something like this in your town."
Originally published by Dionne Mahaffey of Sandy Springs, Ga., the post was liked by more than 23,000 people and has been shared more than 127,000 times.
But Mobile isn't getting a village of tiny houses anytime soon.
The photos used in Mahaffey's post actually depict the micro-houses that are part of Community First! Village being built by Mobile Loaves & Fishes, an Austin, Texas-based social outreach ministry.
The Mobile Loaves & Fishes website (www.MLF.org) describes Community First! as "a 27-acre master-planned project in East Austin designed to provide affordable, sustainable housing and support for Central Texans who have been chronically homeless."
The project is "80 percent through construction, said Alan Graham, the chief executive officer of Mobile Loaves & Fishes. "We'll be done within the next 60 days and start moving people in."
Community First! includes a mix of affordable housing options, from fifth-wheel RVs to micro-houses to canvas-sided cottages, with amenities including a community garden, a chicken operation, bee hives, a medical facility, WiFi, walking trails and much more, according to the website.
Graham said he was unaware that photos of the tiny houses were being used to promote the idea of a homeless village in Mobile until he was contacted by an AL.com reporter. "But there's no heartburn here" over the mistake, he said. "It's no hair off our backs at all."
The mistake occurred, presumably, because Austin's "Mobile Loaves & Fishes" was confused with the name of the city of Mobile.
When asked via email if he knew about a proposed tiny house village, George Talbot, senior director of communications and external affairs for the city of Mobile mayor's office, wrote, "I can only speak for the City, but it's not one of our initiatives." He suggested that it could be "a private deal or nonprofit/church project."
"It's not happening yet, but we have people who are looking into it," Housing First Inc. Chief Executive Officer Eric Jefferson said. "We do have an interest as an organization in tiny homes, and we're trying to get the infrastructure in place to do that."
Jefferson first heard about the meme Tuesday morning, he said, when the chief operating officer of the homeless coalition made him aware of it.
Housing First is trying to turn the former Days Inn hotel on the Beltine at I-65 and Airport Boulevard into affordable housing units – a $10 million project, Jefferson said.
According to the most recent point-in-time count done on Jan. 29, Jefferson said, 640 individuals in Mobile and Baldwin counties met the "homeless" criteria as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). "But that doesn't take into account the number defined by the Department of Education as being homeless," he said, which includes some 6,000 kids.
"We're working with two and sometimes three different definitions," he said. "But the overall homeless numbers are down."
In the past three years, he said, 25 percent of people in the Housing First program "have gone to self-sufficiency," meaning they can pay their own rent and bill and don't need additional services.
A tiny house village to house homeless people isn't on its way to Mobile "yet," Jefferson said – but he anticipates that it could be on the horizon.
Dionne Mahaffey, who apparently originally posted the meme on her Facebook timeline – writing "C'mon Atlanta" and tagging nine of her friends, including a few in Mobile – is, according to a short bio on her Twitter account (@atlcelebrity) an "entrepreneur, volunteer, journalist, life coach, techie." She did not respond to a request for comment.

Utah's Strategy for the Homeless
by JACOB RASCON and NBC NEWS
Utah's Chronic Homeless Rate Drops 91% When It Gives the Needy Housing
By the end of 2015, the chronically homeless population of Utah may be virtually gone. And the secret is quite simple:
Give homes to the homeless.
"We call it housing first, employment second," said Lloyd Pendleton, director of Utah's Homeless Task Force.
Even Pendleton used to think trying to eradicate homelessness using such an approach was a foolish idea.
"I said: 'You guys must be smoking something. This is totally unrealistic,'" Pendleton said.
But the results are hard to dispute.
In 2005, Utah was home to 1,932 chronically homeless. By April 2015, there were only 178 — a 91 percent drop statewide.
"It's a philosophical shift in how we go about it," Pendleton said. "You put them in housing first ... and then help them begin to deal with the issues that caused them to be homeless."
Chronically homeless persons — those living on the streets for more than a year, or for four times in three years, and have a debilitating condition — make up 10 percent of Utah's homeless population but take up more than 50 percent of the state's resources for the homeless.
The Homeless Task Force reported it costs Utah $19,208 on average per year to care for a chronically homeless person, including related health and jail costs. Pendleton found that to house and provide a case worker for the same person costs the state about $7,800.
'THEY'RE PART OF OUR CITIZENRY. THEY'RE NOT THEM AND US. IT'S "WE."'
"It's more humane, and it's cheaper," Pendleton said. "I call them 'homeless citizens.' They're part of our citizenry. They're not them and us. It's 'we.'"
For six years, Suzi Wright and her sons, DJ and Brian, shuttled among friend's homes, a van and the Salt Lake City homeless shelter.
After Utah gave Wright a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, she got a job as a cleaning supervisor at her apartment complex.
"It makes you feel a lot better about yourself, just being able to support your family," Wright said.
Those given apartments under the Housing First program pay rent of 30 percent of their income or $50, whichever is greater.
Army veteran Don Williams had been sleeping under a bush for 10 years when Utah offered him an apartment.
When he realized they weren't joking, he "jumped for joy," he said, laughing. "It was a blessing. A real blessing."

When he realized they weren't joking, he "jumped for joy," he said, laughing. "It was a blessing. A real blessing."

Prayer for Healing
Prayer for Healing
Abba Father, We come boldly before Your throne to obtain grace to help in time of need. We have confidence in Your Word, and we take hold of Your promises to heal us. According to Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24, We resist sickness and disease. We speak with our mouth and believe in our heart that we are healed of all sickness and disease.
Your Word says that Jesus bore all our sickness and diseases, and He carried our sorrows, so we receive healing now. We know and declare that Jesus is our Healer. We give You all the praise for providing everything we need to walk in wholeness.
Thank You for satisfying us with long life. Abba Father, we are thankful that You are no respecter of persons. What You do for one, You will do for all who ask and believe by faith.
Satan, I declare to you in the Name of Jesus that you have no authority over me. According to Matthew 18:18, we bind you from operating against us in any way. Our life is hidden in Christ. You have no power to bring any part of the curse upon us. We take our stand as one who is redeemed from the curse. So you must flee now! We take our place in God and we resist you.
Abba Father, we worship You. We give You reverence. We confess that Your Word will not return to You void. We praise You for Your protection and for Your goodness upon our lives. We thank You that Satan is unable to penetrate that. Thank You for bringing total healing to us. Your Word says whatever we ask for in the Name of Jesus will be done for us. So we declare this is done. Our healing is complete. In Jesus Name! Amen.

Prayer for FAVOR
Prayer for FAVOR
Abba Father,
I declare that I have your favor today
I declare that I am strong and well able to fulfill my God given destiny; I know you are fighting my battles for me.
I declare that I am a victor and not a victim. I may have been defeated in the past but the past is past, this is new day
Your word says that "I am the head and not the tail"
Every thing I touch will prosper and succeed according to your perfect will because of your favor my Father.
I declare that by your stripes I am healed today. I will live and not die. I declare that you are restoring health unto me, and with long life you satisfy me
Father, today, I declare your favor in my relationship with you, favor in my relationship within my marriage and my family, favor in relationships with my friends, and favor in relationships in my ministry.
I want to thank you for causing me to be at the right place at the right time. I want to thank you for causing people to want to help me.
Today, Father I want to thank you for blessing me with creativity, I want to thank you for causing me to make good decisions with a clear mind
I declare that you are smiling down on me today and that your favor will be in everything I do because I am pleasing to you.
I declare that I will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country, blessed coming in and blessed going out.
I claim right now, Psalm 84:11 that you are blessing me with favor and honor and no good thing will you withhold from me because my walk is blameless.
I claim Habakkuk 2:3 that my vision is for an appointed time. Though it may tarry, I will earnestly wait for it, for it will surely come.
I declare today that I am filled with your can do power my Father. Between you and me, we are the majority and I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
I know that your Word says that, "no man has seen, heard or even imagined the wonderful things that you have in store for those that love you" and I want to tell you today that I love you and I want to thank you for loving me.
I want to thank you for your favor today, not because of who I am, but because of whose I am. I am a child of the most high God, the creator of the whole universe.
I commit this day to you
In Jesus name,
Amen

Hope, Healing and Happiness
Hope, Healing and Happiness
We all need rest, we've all been in some type of emotional and physical pain. It's so essential that if you miss time, your body and mind will suffer. I've experienced loss of proper sleep by being in emotional and physical pain. I've lost a home, had to put everything I owned in storage, gave my belongings away, been homeless, lived and traveled in my car. I'm Passionate about Helping the Homeless because I lost my home 4 years ago due to Hurricane Irene. I've been blessed to have a car. I've met other homeless people who don't have a car to rest or travel in. Some have lost their home through natural circumstances or have lost jobs and have debilitating health problems. Most of all, the worst loss anyone can face is the loss of hope. There's no pill or substance that can give you hope. There's only a Perfect Love that can give you Hope. Once someone knows The Love of Jesus, He will give you True Peace.
I want to share my Dream and Vision of Hope with you. Because I didn't choose to be homeless, I truly believe it's the path God chose for my life, so I could see some things. My Prayer is to have Homes of Hope so people can rest and feel safe. Give people hope, real hope. Not occasionally when the weather is too cold or too hot, but a real place to live. Give people dignity, a place to belong. We're all part of a family, a great big family that cares for each other. When one person is broken, we lift each other up.
Homes of Hope would enable people to work and be cared for so no longer would they be seen as a burden on society. It would allow married couples to enjoy each other's company. It would allow families to stay together.
Isaiah 58:6-14

Abba Father,
You are the all - powerful One. You are my Creator and my Sustainer.

I ask you to strengthen them, restore them, and bless them.
Thank you, Lord, for your everlasting Love.
Thank you for your ever-present Encouragement.

Are you Homeless?
Are you Homeless?
1. Grab yourself a $10/month gym membership at Planet Fitness so you stay clean, you'll need money down, a checking account and ID.
2. If you're camping out in your car, make sure you park overnight in a well lit area where other cars park (like a hotel). It's VERY Important to park next to other cars so you won't be bothered
3. Try to have three outfits and wash your laundry often. Dress nicely everyday.
4. Eating out can be difficult if you don't have too much money, but there are places like Panera Bread and Starbucks that have a point system where you can earn free food! I eat at Starbucks almost everyday! They have FREE Wifi and you can have unlimited coffee and tea refills all day long with the GOLD CARD once you accumulate 30 stars, one item=one point, so buy one item at a time. Also watch your email for special offers for extra stars.
5. There is NO SHAME in asking for help! I've learned plenty of times to ask for help! People have often said to me: it's a shame I didn't know, I would have helped!
6. Prayer changes things!

Vision to help the poor and homeless...
Vision to help the poor and homeless...
I've added more thoughts to how people can help!
1. Heart healthy food
2. A lot of poor/homeless don't have places to cook canned/fresh food...so the answer would be gift cards for Boston Market, Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A, Wawa, and Panera Bread.
Gift cards for Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS are also helpful for personal items. Gift cards and cash for gas is helpful too, especially if they live in their car.
3. Some poor/homeless can't afford laundry facilities, offering to wash/return the clothes is extremely helpful
4. A lot of poor/homeless people aren't in good health, offering vitamins are helpful.
5. Many poor/homeless people are discouraged/depressed, A Kind Word helps, a cup of coffee, prayer helps, take them for a haircut, give a listening ear, and show them love!
6. If you've once been poor or you just want to give back or pay it forward to God, would you consider taking a soul into your home?
Remember one word, one kind deed, and a smile can change someone's day!
You can Save a Life before you Save a Soul!

"Here is the sort of fast I want —
releasing those unjustly bound,
untying the thongs of the yoke,
letting the oppressed go free,
breaking every yoke,
sharing your food with the hungry,
taking the homeless poor into your house,
clothing the naked when you see them,
fulfilling your duty to your kinsmen!"
Then your light will burst forth like the morning,
your new skin will quickly grow over your wound;
your righteousness will precede you,
and Adonai's glory will follow you.
Then you will call, and Adonai will answer;
you will cry, and He will say, "Here I am."
If you will remove the yoke from among you,
stop false accusation and slander,
generously offer food to the hungry
and meet the needs of the person in trouble;
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your gloom become like noon.
Adonai will always guide you;
He will satisfy your needs in the desert,
He will renew the strength in your limbs;
so that you will be like a watered garden,
like a spring whose water never fails.
You will rebuild the ancient ruins,
raise foundations from ages past,
and be called "Repairer of broken walls,
Restorer of streets to live in."
"If you hold back your foot on Shabbat
from pursuing your own interests on my holy day;
if you call Shabbat a delight,
Adonai's holy day, worth honoring;
then honor it by not doing your usual things
or pursuing your interests or speaking about them.
If you do, you will find delight in Adonai —
I will make you ride on the heights of the land
and feed you with the heritage of your ancestor Ya'akov,
for the mouth of Adonai has spoken."

PRAYING FOR OUR PASTORS
PRAYING FOR OUR PASTORS
Abba Father, I thank You that our pastors are faithful,
and that You preserve them.
That they abound with blessings,
and do not grow weary in well doing.
That You who began a good work in them will perfect it.
They are Your workmanship created in Christ Jesus,
and equipped in every good thing to do Your will.
Work in them that which is well-pleasing in Your sight.
Let all grace abound toward them, having sufficiency in all things,
and an abundance for every good work.
Because they have sowed bountifully, they will reap bountifully,
and whether they plant or water, Father, You give the increase.
I pray that they continually triumph in Christ,
diffusing the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
That all blessings come upon them and overtake them,
because they obey the voice of their God.
Instruct them and teach them in the way they should go;
reveal the deeper things of God to them by Your Spirit.
Let them be vessels of honor, sanctified and useful for the Master,
prepared for every good work.
Shepherding the flock willingly, eagerly, and being an example to them.
Their speech and preaching is in demonstration of the Spirit and power.
And they are instant in season and out of season to preach the Word.
Every place the soles of their feet tread upon has been given to them.
They are strong and of good courage for You, Lord, go with them.
They wait on You, and You strengthen them in their heart.
Help them set in order things that are lacking,
and appoint elders in every city.
I tear down the strongholds over the pulpit.
I lift up our pastors and cover them
with the blood of Jesus.
Sickness and disease shall in no way come near them,
for they are redeemed from the curse of the law.
NO weapon formed against them will prosper,
and every tongue rising against them shall be shown to be in the wrong.
Father, let the gifts and anointings on their lives come forth.
Birth the things that You have spoken to them in their hearts,
as they continually give themselves to prayer
and the ministry of the Word.
In Jesus Name, Amen!
Abba Father, I thank You that our pastors are faithful,
and that You preserve them.
That they abound with blessings,
and do not grow weary in well doing.
That You who began a good work in them will perfect it.
They are Your workmanship created in Christ Jesus,
and equipped in every good thing to do Your will.
Work in them that which is well-pleasing in Your sight.
Let all grace abound toward them, having sufficiency in all things,
and an abundance for every good work.
Because they have sowed bountifully, they will reap bountifully,
and whether they plant or water, Father, You give the increase.
I pray that they continually triumph in Christ,
diffusing the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
That all blessings come upon them and overtake them,
because they obey the voice of their God.
Instruct them and teach them in the way they should go;
reveal the deeper things of God to them by Your Spirit.
Let them be vessels of honor, sanctified and useful for the Master,
prepared for every good work.
Shepherding the flock willingly, eagerly, and being an example to them.
Their speech and preaching is in demonstration of the Spirit and power.
And they are instant in season and out of season to preach the Word.
Every place the soles of their feet tread upon has been given to them.
They are strong and of good courage for You, Lord, go with them.
They wait on You, and You strengthen them in their heart.
Help them set in order things that are lacking,
and appoint elders in every city.
I tear down the strongholds over the pulpit.

Prayer for FAVOR
Prayer for FAVOR
Abba Father,
I declare that I have your favor today
I declare that I am strong and well able to fulfill my God given destiny; I know you are fighting my battles for me.
I declare that I am a victor and not a victim. I may have been defeated in the past but the past is past, this is new day
Your word says that "I am the head and not the tail"
Every thing I touch will prosper and succeed according to your perfect will because of your favor my Father.
I declare that by your stripes I am healed today. I will live and not die. I declare that you are restoring health unto me, and with long life you satisfy me
Father, today, I declare your favor in my relationship with you, favor in my relationship within my marriage and my family, favor in relationships with my friends, and favor in relationships in my ministry.
I want to thank you for causing me to be at the right place at the right time. I want to thank you for causing people to want to help me.
Today, Father I want to thank you for blessing me with creativity, I want to thank you for causing me to make good decisions with a clear mind
I declare that you are smiling down on me today and that your favor will be in everything I do because I am pleasing to you.
I declare that I will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country, blessed coming in and blessed going out.
I claim right now, Psalm 84:11 that you are blessing me with favor and honor and no good thing will you withhold from me because my walk is blameless.
I claim Habakkuk 2:3 that my vision is for an appointed time. Though it may tarry, I will earnestly wait for it, for it will surely come.
I declare today that I am filled with your can do power my Father. Between you and me, we are the majority and I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
I know that your Word says that, "no man has seen, heard or even imagined the wonderful things that you have in store for those that love you" and I want to tell you today that I love you and I want to thank you for loving me.
I want to thank you for your favor today, not because of who I am, but because of whose I am. I am a child of the most high God, the creator of the whole universe.
I commit this day to you
In Jesus name,
Amen

Are you Helping Others?
Are you Helping Others?
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father. The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

My King
My King
The Bible says my King is the King of the Jews. He's the King of Israel. He's the King of Righteousness. He's the King of the Ages. He's the King of Heaven. He's the King of Glory. He's the King of kings, and He's the Lord of lords. That's my King.
I wonder, do you know Him?
My King is a sovereign King. No means of measure can define His limitless love. He's enduringly strong. He's entirely sincere. He's eternally steadfast. He's immortally graceful. He's imperially powerful. He's impartially merciful.
Do you know Him?
He's the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world. He's God's Son. He's the sinner's Saviour. He's the centrepiece of civilization. He's unparalleled. He's unprecedented. He is the loftiest idea in literature. He's the highest personality in philosophy. He's the fundamental doctrine of true theology. He's the only one qualified to be an all sufficient Saviour.
I wonder if you know Him today?
He supplies strength for the weak. He's available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and He saves. He strengthens and sustains. He guards and He guides. He heals the sick. He cleansed the lepers. He forgives sinners. He discharges debtors. He delivers the captive. He defends the feeble. He blesses the young. He serves the unfortunate. He regards the aged. He rewards the diligent. And He beautifies the meek.
I wonder if you know Him?
He's the key to knowledge. He's the wellspring of wisdom. He's the doorway of deliverance. He's the pathway of peace. He's the roadway of righteousness. He's the highway of holiness. He's the gateway of glory.
Do you know Him? Well…
His life is matchless. His goodness is limitless. His mercy is everlasting. His love never changes. His Word is enough. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous. And His yoke is easy. And His burden is light.
I wish I could describe Him to you. Yes…
He's indescribable! He's incomprehensible. He's invincible. He's irresistible. You can't get Him out of your mind. You can't get Him off of your hand. You can't outlive Him, and you can't live without Him. Well, the Pharisees couldn't stand Him, but they found out they couldn't stop Him. Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him. Herod couldn't kill Him. Death couldn't handle Him, and the grave couldn't hold Him.
Yeah! That's my King, that's my King.
Amen!

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Refrain
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
All the way my Savior leads me
All the way my Savior leads me
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.
All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father's house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way.
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Refrain:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O'er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conqu'rors we are!
His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Refrain:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O'er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conqu'rors we are!
His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

What a friend we have in Jesus!
What a friend we have in Jesus!
He calls me His friend!
Lord, I praise You for sending Jesus to die on the cross to save me from my sins. Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) Jesus laid down His life for me and I can't say "thank you" enough to Him! I want to love like Jesus does, Father! Jesus, my friend, is worthy of all honor and praise! Words can never express how great His love is for us, but I thank You, Father, for sending Jesus to us! Without His sacrifice we would still have a rift between us, Father. He tore the veil! Thank you for the wonderful friend we have in Your Son, Jesus! Amen

"A friend loves at all times!"
"A friend loves at all times!"
Proverbs 17:17 NKJV
"There are friends who pretend to be friends, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
Proverbs 18:24 TLB
Dear Lord,
With my whole heart I ask
That you look after my friends
Guide them in troubles
Lead them when lost
Give them your ear
When they just need to talk
Lend them a hand
When they've nowhere to turn
Show them a new road
When a bridge has been burned
Teach them to smile
When everything seems bad
And show them there is happiness
After all that seems sad
Dear Lord,
This is my prayer
I hope that every word you can hear
This message is from my heart
For my friends are so dear
Amen.

A Prayer for You
A Prayer for You
When the "storms of life" gather darkly ahead,
I think of those wonderful words
I once read.
And I say to myself
As threatening clouds hover,
"Don't fold up your wings"
And "run for cover."
But like the eagle,
"Spread wide your wings"
And "soar far above"
The troubles life brings.
For the eagle knows
That the higher he flies,
The more tranquil and brighter
Become the skies.
And there is nothing in life
God ever asks us to bear
That we can't soar above
"On the wings of prayer."
And in looking back over
The "storm you passed through,"
You'll find you gained strength
And new courage, too.
For in facing "life's storms"
With an eagle's wings,
You can fly far above
Earth's small, petty things.

LORD, I BELIEVE IN YOU
LORD, I BELIEVE IN YOU
Though I can't see Your holy face
And Your throne in heaven above
It seems so far away
Though I cant touch your nail scarred hands
I have a deep and unspeakable joy
That makes my faith to stand
Lord, I believe in You
I'll always believe in You
Though I cant see you with my eyes
Deep in my heart
Your presence I find
Lord, I believe in You
And I'll keep my trust in You
Let the whole world say what they may
No one can take this joy away

Born from above
You are Gods only chosen one
Youre the one and only true way
To the Fathers heart
You died for all sin
Then you rose and now live again
Conquering death and the grave
So that I might live!

who spend your nights in the shadow of Shaddai,
who say to Adonai, "My refuge! My fortress!
My God, in whom I trust!" —
he will rescue you from the trap of the hunter
and from the plague of calamities;
he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his truth is a shield and protection.
You will not fear the terrors of night
or the arrow that flies by day,
or the plague that roams in the dark,
or the scourge that wreaks havoc at noon.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand;
but it won't come near you.
Only keep your eyes open,
and you will see how the wicked are punished.
For you have made Adonai, the Most High,
who is my refuge, your dwelling-place.
No disaster will happen to you,
no calamity will come near your tent;
for he will order his angels to care for you
and guard you wherever you go.
They will carry you in their hands,
so that you won't trip on a stone.
You will tread down lions and snakes,
young lions and serpents you will trample underfoot.
"Because he loves me, I will rescue him;
because he knows my name, I will protect him.
He will call on me, and I will answer him.
I will be with him when he is in trouble.
I will extricate him and bring him honor.
I will satisfy him with long life
and show him my salvation."

The Serenity Prayer
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen.
