Elijah's Prayer Brought a Boy Back to Life

2011-12-11T06:47:00.000-08:00

¹⁷And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.

¹⁸And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?

¹⁹And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

²⁰And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?

²¹And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.

²²And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

²³And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.

²⁴And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.

1 Kings 17:1-24.

Let's pray for our friends in Libya. Sadiqi Habibi

May God bless all the innocent children, the poor women and men living in fear; His beloved people who are the victims of the ravages of the current anarchy. May the Lord protect His loved ones amongst the turmoil that pervades the Arab/Muslim nations. May His holy angels comfort His children in the midst of helplessness and despair. May the Lord provide them His assurance of everlasting love, of His tender care, His salvation.

Let's also pray for the protection of God's children in Syria, in Bahrain, in Yemen, and the rest of the predominantly Muslim nations where the Gospel of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is impeded from reaching the majority of the people. Let's not forget to pray for the dear Palestinian people of Gaza and the West Bank, where they constantly face annihilation; May the Lord have mercy on their souls.

P.S.

Many of these people are Christians, and know Jesus Christ.

May all the world soon be able to know who died on the Cross for their sins, was ressurrected, ascended to heaven and is on the right hand of God. May all know the true God -The Creator of the mankind, the universe, and all that there is.

Amen.

I'm blessed because You are
a forgiving God and

A broken and a contrite heart

2010-07-30T02:37:00.000-07:00

Psalm 51

1Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places

2009-10-05T03:54:00.000-07:00

Friends let us pray for the victims of the recent devastation in Indonesia. (an estimated population of around 237 million people, it is the world's fourth most populous country, and has the largest Muslim population in the world.) More than 700 people were confirmed dead across on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, and thousands remained missing in the wake of the 7.6-magnitude earthquake (and torrential rain) that hit the western coast on Wednesday.
Let us also pray for the victims of the recent disasters in The Philippines; where a 6.6 Earthquake, and two Typhoons in succession have left a path of destruction killing almost 300 people; Presently two Typhoons are still wreaking havoc in the Philippines.
Let's also remember our friends of American Samoa, victims of a Tsunami that has left at least 180 dead, with one in five Samoans significantly affected by the tsunami..
Let's not forget to also pray for the brethren in Vietnam who have also suffered human casualties due to Typhoons.
Let's also pray for the people of Messina; where landslides following heavy rains and mud killed at least 22 people in Sicily.
Lastly, let's include in our prayers our friends in the State of Georgia. Eight days of rain contributed to flooding in Atlanta, killing eight people and causing an estimated $250 million in damages to homes, roads and other infrastructure.

Profound natural disasters are part of the labor pangs that our Lord Jesus Christ warns us about:

7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8All these are the beginning of sorrows.
...
14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
...
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the
thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Matthew 24.

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

1 Thessalonians 5:3

Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes

2009-09-02T09:24:00.000-07:00

25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:25-30.

A Prayer for Rifqa

2009-08-26T11:36:00.000-07:00

A Prayer for Rifqa

Rifqa Bary a 17 year old Sri-Lankan young lady from New Albany, Ohio who converted from Islam to Christianity, needs our prayers. Please pray that the Lord intercedes, and allows her to remain in the State of Florida where she fled for refuge from her Muslim parents. On Friday, Agust 21, 09, the Florida courts ruled that they would allow her (a minor) to remain in foster care while investigations are conducted.

Rifqa Bary ran away from her parents Mohamed and Aysha Bary, because she feared her father would kill her for her recent conversion to Christianity. She hitchiked to Columbus, then took a bus to Orlando, Florida where she took refuge with Rev. Blake Lorenz, pastor and his wife Beverly, of the Orlando-based Global Revolution Church, whom she had met on the internet. She is now in protective custody with Florida's Department of Children and Families. Her parents want her returned home to Ohio, but, Rifqa fears for her life, since in Muslim Sharia Law all converts to Christianity are heretics, and are instructed by the Koran to be killed.

We must pray fervently for this young lady to remain in protective custody, or foster care in the State of Florida, so that she can exercise her religion. The Florida courts will ultimately rule wheter she remains or is returned to Ohio.

"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed
to repeat it." George Santayana.

Many Americans have a disdain for history, and can only remember what they had for breakfast. or what they did last weekend. However, we can not forget the case of Elian Gonzalez, the Cuban boy who was rescued at sea (when his mother drowned trying to reach Florida), and was eventually (rescued from his uncle's home in Miami, Florida) apprehended by Immigration and Naturalization authorities in a manner reminiscent of a storm trooper assaultc; He was returned to his father who (was flown from Cuba) was waiting in Washington D.C. in 2000. Nor can we forget the case of the two Dallas-area sisters, 17 and 18 year olds, that were murdered last year by their Egytian father (still at large and is believed to have fled the country) because they dated non-Muslim boys.

How quickly we forget?
Practically all have forgotten why the first non-native settlers (Europeans) came to what we now call the United States; It was to escape religious persecution, and the tyranny of the Church of England, and its latent ally the Roman Catholic Church. Fastforward - 400 years and the descendants, and beneficiaries of the Pilgrim's Voyage for Freedom, can see that religious tyrants have come to its shores to impose the same tyranical, despotic beliefs that the Pilgrim fathers fled from in England; This time, these religious zealots are not from Europe, but, are from Asia (where there is no religious freedom or a tradition of tolerance). That's why after its independence from Great Britain in 1947, the Vice-Royalty of India was divided into India, West Pakistan (Bangladesh), East Pakistan (Pakistan), Ceylon (Sri Lanka), etc.; Because of the different religions: Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Jain , Farsi, and Bhuddist.
Please pray for Rifqa
May the Lord provide her protection, and allow her to discover and remain in His love; Afterall, the God of Abraham, Issac , and Israel is the God of all, not just Christians. Jesus died for everyone's sins, even the one's of those from Sri Lanka!

Praying for the Sick

2009-05-11T18:05:00.000-07:00

Praying for the Sick
The Need of Instruction on
Health Principles.

During my sickness I have thought much in reference to praying for the sick, and I believe that if prayer should be offered for the sick at any place (and it certainly should), it should be offered at the Sanitarium for the relief and restoration of the suffering. {SpM 5.1}

But in this matter of praying for the sick, I should not move in exactly the same lines as have my brethren. I have been considering many things that have been presented to me in the past in reference to this subject. Suppose that twenty men and women should present themselves as subjects of prayer at some of our camp-meetings. This would not be unlikely, for those who are suffering will do anything in their power to obtain relief and to regain their health. Of these twenty, few have regarded the light on the subject of purity and health reform. They have neglected to practice right principles in eating and drinking, and in taking care of their bodies: and those who are married have formed gross habits, and indulged in unholy practices, while those who are unmarried have been reckless of life and health. In clear rays the light has shone upon them; but they have not had respect to the light, nor have they walked circumspectly; yet they solicit the prayers of God's people, and call for the elders of the church. Should they regain the blessing of health, many of them would pursue the same course of heedless transgression of nature's laws, unless enlightened and thoroughly transformed. {SpM 5.2}

They solicit the prayers of God's people, and call for the elders, of the church; but little is known of their private life. Sin has brought many of them where they are, to a state of feebleness of mind and debility of body. Shall prayer be offered to the God of heaven for His healing power to come upon them then and there, without specifying any conditions? I say No! decidedly no! {SpM 5.3}

What then shall be done? Present their cases before Him who knows every individual by name. Present their cases to Him who so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Present these thoughts to the persons who come asking for your prayers. We are human, we can not read the mind or heart or know the secrets of your life. These are known only to yourself and God. If you now repent of your sin, if you can see that in any instance you have walked contrary to the light given you of God, and have neglected to give honor to the body, the temple of God, and by wrong habits have degraded the body which is Christ's property, make confession of these things to God. {SpM 5.4}

Unless you are wrought upon by the Spirit of God in a special manner to confess your sins of a private nature to man, do not breathe them to any human soul. Christ is your Redeemer, He will take no advantage of your humiliating confessions. If you have a sin of a

-6-

private character, confess it to Christ, who is the only Mediator between God and man. "If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." If you have sinned by withholding from God His own in tithes and offerings, confess your guilt to God and to the church, and heed the injunction that has been given you, "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." {SpM 5.5}

Praying for the sick is a most solemn thing, and we should not enter upon this work in any careless, hasty way. Examination should be made as to whether those who would be blessed with health have indulged in evil speaking, alienation, and dissension. Have they sowed discord among the brethren and sisters in the church? If these things have been committed, they should be confessed, before God and the church. When wrongs have been confessed, the subjects for prayer may be presented before God in earnestness and faith, as the Spirit of God may move upon you. {SpM 6.1}

But it is not always safe to ask for (un?) conditional healing. Let your prayer include this thought, "Lord, Thou knowest every secret of the soul. Thou art acquainted with these persons, for Jesus their advocate gave His life for them. He loved them better than we possibly can. If therefore it is for Thy glory, and the good of these afflicted ones to raise them up to health, we ask in the name of Jesus, that health may be given them at this time." {SpM 6.2}

In a petition of this kind, no lack of faith is manifested. There are cases that are clear, and the Lord works with His divine power in their restoration. The will of God is evidenced too plainly to be misunderstood. The Lord does not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him. For He knoweth our frame, He remembereth what we are dust. He knoweth our hearts, for He reads every secret of the soul. He knows whether or not those for whom petitions are offered would be able to endure the trial and test that would come upon them if they lived. He knows the end from the beginning. {SpM 6.3}

Many will be laid away to sleep in Jesus before the fiery ordeal of the time of trouble shall come upon our world. This is another reason why we should say after our earnest petition, "Nevertheless, not my will, but Thine, O Lord, be done." Such a petition will never be registered in heaven as a faithless prayer. The Apostle was bidden to write: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." From this we can see that every one is not to be judged as unworthy of eternal life. If Jesus, the world's Redeemer, prayed, "O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me," and then added, "Nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt," how very appropriate is it for poor, infinite mortals to make surrender to the wisdom and will of God.

-7- {SpM 6.4}

In praying for the sick, we are to pray that if it be God's will, they may be raised up, but if not, that He will give them His grace to comfort, His presence to sustain them in their suffering. Many who should set their house in order, neglect to do it when they have hope that they will be raised to health in answer to prayer. Buoyed up by a false hope, they do not feel the need of saying words of exhortation to their children, parents, or friends, and it is a great misfortune. Accepting the assurance that they should be healed when prayed for, they dare not make a reference as to how their property should be disposed of, how their family is to be cared for, or express any wish concerning their matters of which they would speak if they thought they should be removed by death. In this way disasters are brought upon the family and friends. For many things are left unmentioned, because they fear expressions on these points would be a denial of their faith that should be understood. Believing that they will be raised to health by prayer, they fail to make use of hygienic measures that are in their power to use, fearing that it would be a denial of their faith. I thank the Lord that it is our privilege to cooperate with Him in the work of restoration, availing ourselves of all possible advantages in the recovery of health. It is no denial of our faith to place ourselves in the condition most favorable to recovery. {SpM 7.1}

The use of drugs has not been specified as in the Lord's order, but He has given special light concerning our health institutions, directing His people to practice and cultivate hygienic principles. Such should be taught those who are in ignorance as to how to live in accordance with pure principles, practicing those things that will preserve the body in a healthful condition. Man is to cooperate with God-given ability. He is not to be ignorant as to what are right practices in eating and drinking, and in all his habits of life. The Lord designs that His human agents shall act as rational, accountable beings in every respect. {SpM 7.2}

But though light upon this matter has been shining upon the pathway of our people for nearly thirty years, yet a large number are far behind the light. Our churches are ignorant of hygienic principles and practices. We ought to be far advanced in wisdom, understanding what the will of the Lord is. We ought to know how to keep our minds pure and our bodies in a healthful condition. {SpM 7.3}

But though we have sinned, we may come to Christ in penitence, and find pardon. We can not afford to neglect one ray of light God has given. To be sluggish in the practice of those things which require diligence, is to commit sin. The human agent is to cooperate with God, and keep under those passions which should be in subjection. To do this he must be unwearied in his prayers to God, ever obtaining grace to control his spirit, temper, and actions.

Psalm 65

1 Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Sion:
and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

2 O thou that hearest prayer,
unto Thee shall all flesh come.

3 Iniquities prevail against me:
as for our transgressions, Thou shalt purge them away.

4 Blessed is the man whom Thou choosest,
and causest to approach unto Thee,
that he may dwell in Thy courts:
we shall be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house,
even of Thy holy temple.

5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt Thou answer us,
O God of our salvation;
Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;
being girded with power:

7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas,
the noise of their waves,
and the tumult of the people.

8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at Thy tokens:
Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it:
Thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God,
which is full of water:
Thou preparest them corn,
when Thou hast so provided for it.

10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly:
Thou settlest the furrows thereof:
Thou makest it soft with showers:
Thou blessest the springing thereof.

11 Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness;
and Thy paths drop fatness.

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness:
and the little hills rejoice on every side.

13 The pastures are clothed with flocks;
the valleys also are covered over with corn;
they shout for joy, they also sing.
