Wow!!!! Mine is bigger than yours...No mine is bigger than yours.....

You would think that our politicians or representatives remember that they work for us and not themselves. I am so frustrated with our Government right now. They are more concerned about who is bigger than who.  We have to be the laughing stock of the WORLD. Our enemies have to be just getting a kick at what they are seeing on the NEWS, and Don't get me started on them!


Why should someone who works hard for his or her money bail us out, last time i checked we live in the USA not Cuba or Venezuela?  Why should i support lazy people? My step dad worked many jobs, including cleaning toilets to provide us with home and food.  I am all over the place on this thing. It reminds me of the movie Richard Prior was in where he was voting for NONE of the ABOVE.
Our founding Fathers must be rolling in their Grave.  I just finished a class, which took us back and taught us how the Founders were Christian and did base this country on Christian values. You have people that also push that the Founders were racist and much more. What are we to believe? Well i know we cannot believe what is on TV or on the Talk Shows. We have to study for ourselves. We have to educate ourselves.   If we rely on the media, the Enemy wins! I have said this before and will say it again, i do  not agree with Glenn Beck on everything he says, but i do like the fact that he tells his listeners to research things; to study, to not take his word but to find the truth in things.


This is the same for what we are learning in our churches. The Pastors are not god they are man, they are not perfect. We need to make sure we are taking what they are teaching , and studying ourselves. You can take one verse and tell people this is what GOD is saying, if we do not go to the WORD and see for ourselves we can be deceived by man and the enemy. 


I apologize, i happened to be catching up on the news and it i wish i hadn't.


PRAYER


Lord, i lift up our Government Right now; i pray they seek you in their decisions. This is not a Republican or Democratic issue; it is an issue of incompetency throughout.  Lord this is your Country, We are your People, Touch these men and women’s' hearts and minds!


Lord this is an embarrassment. Our enemies and Satan himself are just sitting there and laughing and licking their lips as to get ready for the kill.   Lord we look to YOU to step in and fight this battle for us. They are not listening to the people, they are listening to themselves and their greed and selfishness! I lift up our President and pray that his eyes be open and his ears listen to YOU, and not his advisers! That he rely on you and not his advisers!
LORD Come on down and KICK SOME BUTT!!!!
In your Precious name! AMEN AMEN !!!

Aqui se siente La precencia de Dios... a blast from the past.

I had a flashback today and have been singing some old School Coritos from my Pentecostal days!
I have been singing them since i got home from work!
This was the closest i could get to one. Some of the videos on YouTube are pretty bad.
In one of them it looks like one of the YOuth is holding a Snake LOL but i believe it is an Instrument of some sort! LOL
For you English folk, The gist of the song is

 The presence of God is felt here
I feel fire of the Holy Spirit 
I feel Joy
I feel Peace
I feel the love that God gives me
not a good translation but it make alot of sense in Spanish LOL
Enjoy.
I will be back with  new post soon!
God Bless
Peace and Love and healing in Jesus' Name!
AMEN!!
P.S. if you know where i can download any of the good old corritos, please leave me a comment.

Happy Fathers DAY and TUMORS?

  This is a double whammy!
First, i want to shout out to all the fathers and fathers at heart.
Be Strong, be brave, be real! , Be TRUE!
Prayer
Lord i lift up all fathers to you right now. I pray wisdom, and your blessings on all the married and single fathers out there. That they look to you for advice, peace and love! Lord i lift up those single moms out there that are both mom and dad to their children. I pray peace, strength, patience, and HUGE Blessing. That their children honor them with respect, love, and joy! 


In addition, i do not know about you but i have heard about too many tumors lately, more so the last couple of days.

Prayer
Lord i lift up the two people i know that are going to have surgery due to tumors. Lord i pray WISDOM for the Doctors, before, during, after the surgery. I pray for healing hands, I lift up everyone that will have access to the patients, their rooms, hallways, supplies and instruments. I pray a peace over the families and friends. You are a God of Love and not of confusion! I pray quick recoveries, i pray for favor and your covering over these two people i know! I pray a covering over their spouses Lord! 

Burn me up and Flush Me! LOL

Hola, long time no write. It has been a busy two weeks. Finished one class started another. Special project at work. Wife and daughter off for the summer from school, and i was blessed to help someone close to me put together a power point for his mom's memorial service.   I have to say it was one of the longest services i have attended. Though i have to say it was interesting.  
There was a lot of hurt, pride, tension and disconnection. There is that portion of the service where people get up and share a story or memory of the person. This was a combination of stories and therapy. Now please don't get me wrong i am not judging in no way shape or form.  Sitting there i really learned a lot about myself and my family. Have you ever wonder or thought about your own families and how crazy they can be?  Come on now! you know you have! LOL
This family was in such pain, all i could pray for them all.  The pain again for some of them was the loss of their sister, aunt, and MOM, but i realized a lot of the pain was how they were with each other as a family.  I am so proud of how the son handled himself during the whole service. He was a Rock for his wife and children as well as the rest of the family. It was an inspiration to see that amongst all the drama.  I saw the power of the Lord in him come out and kick some butt! AMEN!
Anyway, what does this have to do with being burnt up and flushed? Nothing. 
I do have to mention i have told my wife and daughter that if the Lord decides to take me, to cremate me and flush me down the toilet so my ashes can see the world!!!! This way they can spend the insurance money on things that matter most, new shoes and purses!  LOL I am sure i will hear from them after they read this. 
What is going on in our country lately? Tornadoes, Floods, Fires, etc....  You would think it is the end of the world or something? Okay i am not going there, but had to poke fun.  Seriously, I was tired of hearing about what the Government was and was not doing, but did not want to see all the destruction happening out there.  I have said this before, people may not believe in Global Warning, but i really think we are messing up our planet, call it whatever you want to but we are. 
Ok off the soap box.
There has been so much unhappiness lately that it can be draining. 

1 Timothy 6:11-12 (The Message)

 11-12But you, Timothy, man of God: Run for your life from all this. Pursue a righteous life—a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses.

Nehemiah 8:10
Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

I read these verses and i think of the son in the story above, he could have been easily mourning his mom,  but he was celebrating her life and the impact she made on his life.  He was full of the Joy of the Lord.
PRAYER
I continue to lift his family up to You. I pray continued healing of hearts and mind, and souls Lord. Only You can do this!  I also lift up everyone being affected by "mother nature". Lord i pray that you touch their lives and show yourself in a mighty way. I pray for provisioning that, again only you can provide.

Lord you are the Lord of lords, King of kings! YOU ROCK!
I lift up those in need of healing in any form! Lord, touch them, take away the infections and fevers. The pain in joints and muscles. Away with Depression and Diabetes! 
All these things in your Precious NAME! AMEN AMEN!!!
 



Still Here!!!! Urgent Prayer Request!!!

Post image for We’re Still Here Twitter Hashtags and TweetsDarn!  So we are still here. Does that mean we got Left Behind?  NOT! I guess a few people really thought i was agreeing with the whole end of times. I was not, at least not for last Saturday.
Anyway, i went to the Grand Canyon this weekend for a quick Day trip with my mom, aunt and grandma. I hate day trips to the Canyon, but this was one of the best ones yet. It was not meant to be a fun trip so to speak.  We went to visit the site where we spread some of my uncle's ashes. It was a beautiful day. Nice ride up and back. Caught up on some of the family stories.  13 hour day with about 7 of it on the road.  I love to drive. 
So, really nothing on my mind right now to talk about. I would like to pray for all the kids that are getting ready to go into summer break!
PRAYER 
Lord i life up all the kids getting ready to go on break. I pray for protection from anything harmful. I pray for safety and fun. Lord keep watchful eyes on all of them.  I pray for wisdom for their parents. In Jesus name! AMEN AMEN!
LAST MINUTE PRAYER REQUEST AS OF 1600 PHX TIME
Please, please, please pray right now for a little 5th grade boy named Shawn who was hit on his bike by a truck on the street in front of ours (Meridian). I was told he flew seven feet before landing. He was just air lifted to probably the same hospital Kelly was at in the trauma unit. His life is hanging in the balance. Please re-post. Our prayers make a difference.
Update as of 1645 PHX Time
Report from Jason...Shawn is conscious and talking. Looks like a broken arm and broken ribs so far but he is alive praise God!
