From: Mrs Jean Carlos
ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE
WEST-AFRICA
 
Beloved,
Compliments of the day to you ! By this e-mail, I do sincerely apologise for my intrusion of your privacy. However, I have a serious concern with which I believe you might be of help and for this reason, I can not but reach out to someone . My name as given above is Mrs Jean Carlos.I am a nationality of Australia. I am married to Mr Klivin Carlos who worked with the embassy in ABIDJAN IVORY COAST for nine years before he died in the plane crash On 31st of July 2000 with other passengers aboard.
 
We were a dedicated Christians and decided to serve mankind to the best of our ability. Since his death, I have lived with the memories, fighting fortelessly to lead a normal life but all to no avail. I suffered mentally and psychologically and shortly was diagnosed of Cancer. I lived with the scourge praying earnestly for divine intervention. Just a month ago, the doctor informed me that I have just about three months more to live. I was shocked, I accepted the news in good fate.Brethren, it is in this regard that I write to you, having sourced your address from a database in my late husband's internet dozier after fervent prayers. Before my husband died, he deposited a sum of $5.6Million (Five Million six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a bank in cote d'ivoire. I have wholeheartedly decided to donate the entirety of this fund to any devoted believer or organisation and to achieve this, I need an individual that will utilize this funds adherently for these pu
1: For the sick, less-privilledged and destitute,
2: For the Widows and the motherless babies e.t.c.
3: orphanages, Research centres and widows propagating.
 
These are the wishes of a dying woman. They are the desires of my heart, hence my decision as I do not have a child to take over my inheritance. Please, understand that I am not doing this because of fear of death as I am certain where my place already is. At this point, friends, well wishers, and my husbands relatives are all clampered around me as I sojourn in my hospital bed and are unaware of my plight, hence I will not be able to make an open conversation. When I receive your response, I will direct you at once to the bank. All I need from you is Truthfulness, Honesty and Sincerity assuring me that you can in all honesty and obedience utilize the funds for the purpose with which it is meant. In any a case, a quick response from you will be highly appreciated as I am already on a count-down and may not have ample time to finalize the procedures. Any delay in response may compel me to source for other measures or perhaps choose the alternative which I will not be happy  
I await your immediate response.
 
Thank You and Bless You richly!
Yours Sincerely
Mrs Jean Carlos.

=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================


Belief?, by Tammy Marcelain


Belief.

I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief. These are words I say to
God every day. Words taken from Scripture (Mark 9:24). I asked Jesus to
be my Savior when I was in the 7th grade. After studying and making the
choice, I asked my dad to baptize me in our swimming pool. That very
day I was saved, but it took me 20 years to make Him my Lord and
Savior.

What's the difference?

By submitting myself under His Lordship, I have been given a gift -- a
gift to trust Him to guide me where He wants me to go. For much of my
late teenage life and early adulthood, I trusted no one. I was trying
to check out of my life mentally and emotionally by using drugs and
alcohol. I was searching for love in places where there is only
darkness. God saw me through that time and called me to Him.
Gratefully, I felt I had no other options left ... so I followed.

Fast forward a couple of years, and I had been living a Christian life,
working in a church, and doing all the "right" things. But, I was still
not submitting all that I am to Him. How do I know that? Because I
allowed worry, anxiety, and need for control to be my lord. I thought
that was normal, because it was everywhere I turned. Many people (not
all) were worried themselves, worried about money and the lack of it,
worried about health, worried about their kids, worried about their
jobs, and worried about ... I fit right in.

I was confronted with a real choice. Did I really believe that God was
in the details of my life? Or, did I just believe that He was to be
worshiped on Sunday and then real life happened after that?

When I began in depth bible study a number of years ago, my eyes opened
a little to this lack of faith I was struggling with. I longed, and
still long, for the faith of a champion of God. Along the way, however,
God led me to an exciting discovery.

The Bible has a faith Hall of Fame (Hebrews 11). These are people who
had the kind of faith to be recognized by God as special. Yet as I
looked closer at them, I found that many struggled to gain that faith
through difficult circumstances. In fact, their faith was grown through
those circumstances and struggles.

God uses broken people -- people like you and me. In fact, that is when
God's strength can often best be seen. Last week in Bible study, I was
touched by a quote: "God is drawn to weakness." Thanks be to God for
that, because I am weak. Yet God calls me to grow stronger in Him each
day, to move from milk to meat, to move from a faith that is easily
shaken to a faith that has been tested and can weather a storm that
might have toppled it just last week. Faith through circumstances,
struggles, and storms can lead me to growth!

Our faith is refined by fire; the more fires we walk through the
stronger our faith grows. Fire burns, but what it burns away is our
pride, greed, and selfishness; and what it leaves is a humbled servant
of God ready to say, "Here I am Lord, I will go where you lead." To be
content in our circumstances and trust God that we are part of His
great plan are gifts that brings tears to my eyes. Thanks be to God.

The gift of trust, this genuine faith I'm talking about, is one of the
greatest earthly gifts we could ever receive. I don't want to waste
this gift any longer. I think it is one of the traits that shine the
light of Jesus through Christians.

So how does one get this faith?

God grows faith, we just need to seek Him with all of our heart and He
will increase it.

So how do I seek Him?

I seek Him through prayer, Bible study, and reciting Scripture ... I
take Scriptures that stand against whatever I am struggling with and I
quote those Scriptures throughout the day. I keep them with me. I say
them over and over. I keep putting the words of God into my head and
into my heart. I believe this is a crucial exercise.

Are there hardships? Absolutely!

Jesus tells the story about a man who cleans out his house of the one
demon that is living there, but he leaves his house clean, yet empty.
So the demon comes back and brings his evil friends who take up
residence in the house. The end of the situation of the house is worse
than it was at the first of it (Matthew 12:43-45).

The point for me is simple. I can push out the fear, worry or anxiety,
but if I am not re-wallpapering my mind with the promises and
faithfulness of God, then the fear and worry come back fourfold --
debilitatingly more powerful. So I seek God through prayer, Bible
study, and repeating Scriptures.

Does my life always look like I want it to?

Hardly ever. But God is with me. I am never forsaken.

Are there hardships?

Absolutely! Yet these hardships are the times where "the rubber meets
the road." I can either shine for Jesus or wither like a lilly in a
drought. So I call on God in the hardships. And, if I am willing to
seek Him, He gives me peace and shows me the way He wants me to go.
It's then that I realize, through it all -- the hardships, struggles,
and even weaknesses -- He has answered my prayer. God has grown my
faith. And so I pray it again, "I do believe, help me overcome my
unbelief."

Morning & Evening -- Mark 11:22 and Psalms 118:8

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday, March 7, 2009

MORNING:

"Have faith in God."
-- Mark 11:22

Faith is the foot of the soul by which it can march along the road of
the commandments. Love can make the feet move more swiftly; but faith
is the foot which carries the soul. Faith is the oil enabling the
wheels of holy devotion and of earnest piety to move well; and without
faith the wheels are taken from the chariot, and we drag heavily. With
faith I can do all things; without faith I shall neither have the
inclination nor the power to do anything in the service of God. If you
would find the men who serve God the best, you must look for the men of
the most faith. Little faith will save a man, but little faith cannot
do great things for God. Poor Little-faith could not have fought
"Apollyon;" it needed "Christian" to do that. Poor Little-faith could
not have slain "Giant Despair;" it required "Great-heart's" arm to
knock that monster down. Little faith will go to heaven most certainly,
but it often has to hide itself in a nut-shell, and it frequently loses
all but its jewels. Little-faith says, "It is a rough road, beset with
sharp thorns, and full of dangers; I am afraid to go;" but Great-faith
remembers the promise, "Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; as thy days,
so shall thy strength be:" and so she boldly ventures. Little-faith
stands desponding, mingling her tears with the flood; but Great-faith
sings, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and
through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:" and she fords the
stream at once. Would you be comfortable and happy? Would you enjoy
religion? Would you have the religion of cheerfulness and not that of
gloom? Then "have faith in God." If you love darkness, and are
satisfied to dwell in gloom and misery, then be content with little
faith; but if you love the sunshine, and would sing songs of rejoicing,
covet earnestly this best gift, "great faith."

EVENING:

"It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in
man."
-- Psalms 118:8

Doubtless the reader has been tried with the temptation to rely upon
the things which are seen, instead of resting alone upon the invisible
God. Christians often look to man for help and counsel, and mar the
noble simplicity of their reliance upon their God. Does this evening's
portion meet the eye of a child of God anxious about temporals, then
would we reason with him awhile. You trust in Jesus, and only in Jesus,
for your salvation, then why are you troubled? "Because of my great
care." Is it not written, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord"? "Be careful
for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication make known
your wants unto God." Cannot you trust God for temporals? "Ah! I wish I
could." If you cannot trust God for temporals, how dare you trust him
for spirituals? Can you trust him for your soul's redemption, and not
rely upon him for a few lesser mercies? Is not God enough for thy need,
or is his all-sufficiency too narrow for thy wants? Dost thou want
another eye beside that of him who sees every secret thing? Is his
heart faint? Is his arm weary? If so, seek another God; but if he be
infinite, omnipotent, faithful, true, and all-wise, why gaddest thou
abroad so much to seek another confidence? Why dost thou rake the earth
to find another foundation, when this is strong enough to bear all the
weight which thou canst ever build thereon? Christian, mix not only thy
wine with water, do not alloy thy gold of faith with the dross of human
confidence. Wait thou only upon God, and let thine expectation be from
him. Covet not Jonah's gourd, but rest in Jonah's God. Let the sandy
foundations of terrestrial trust be the choice of fools, but do thou,
like one who foresees the storm, build for thyself an abiding place
upon the Rock of Ages.

My Utmost For His Highest : "Undaunted Radiance"

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST -- http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

March 7, 2009


UNDAUNTED RADIANCE

Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors
through Him that loved us.

Romans 8:37
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=ro+8:37&sr=1

Paul is speaking of the things that might seem likely to separate or
wedge in between the saint and the love of God; but the remarkable
thing is that nothing can wedge in between the love of God and the
saint. These things can and do come in between the devotional
exercises of the soul and God and separate individual life from God;
but none of them is able to wedge in between the love of God and the
soul of the saint. The bedrock of our Christian faith is the
unmerited, fathomless marvel of the love of God exhibited on the
Cross of Calvary, a love we never can and never shall merit. Paul
says this is the reason we are more than conquerors in all these
things, super-victors, with a joy we would not have but for the very
things which look as if they are going to overwhelm us.

The surf that distresses the ordinary swimmer produces in the
surf-rider the super-joy of going clean through it. Apply that to our
own circumstances, these very things - tribulation, distress,
persecution, produce in us the super-joy; they are not things to
fight. We are more than conquerors through Him in all these things,
not in spite of them, but in the midst of them. The saint never knows
the joy of the Lord in spite of tribulation, but because of it - "I
am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation," says Paul.

Undaunted radiance is not built on anything passing, but on the love
of God that nothing can alter. The experiences of life, terrible or
monotonous, are impotent to touch the love of God, which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.

WJD! -- Just Between the Father and Me -- Matthew 6:1

Just Between the Father and Me


"Be careful! When you do good things, don't do those things
in front of people. Don't do those things for people to see
you. If you do that, then you will have no reward from your
Father in heaven."

-- Matthew 6:1 (ERV)


KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus has been challenging us to a greater righteousness as expressed
in our relationship with other people. He is now going to remind us of
the key relationship at the center of our being -- our relationship
with the Father. In many ways, Paul mirrored Jesus' teaching here when
he wrote 1 Corinthians 13. Our ministry, our worship, and our lives
must have God our Father at the center. They should be motivated out of
a love for God. What we do, we do because it is what God would do. Even
as we do it, it must convey that love. Our acts of worship and kindness
are not to impress others, but to honor the heart and character of God.
If we honor him, we can be sure he will not forget our works and
kindness. If we do what we do to be seen by others, that's all the
reward we're ever going to get.


TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, help me today, and from today forward, to find effective ways
to minister to others in ways that bring them closer to your love. I
ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
