"We are happy when we look at each other, this connection under the red blood sky keeps us alive, You are killing all of my pride, you come to me like a thief in the night, feed me for I need your love, give back to me my society, oh sweet old world, tender kiss, Marianne you lovely heart, See millions of us in love. I'm walking I'm talking, the path is narrow but the end is near"

Water

really eye-opening film, not light in any way. "Prayer in action is love, love in action is service"-

Mother Teresa tells us in her book "Simple Path" of a sign on the wall of the children's home in Calcutta that reads:

Take time to think

Take time to pray

Take time to laugh

It is the source of power

It is the greatest power on Earth

It is the music of the soul

Take time to play

Take time to love and be loved

Take time to give

It is the secret perpetual youth

It is God's given privilage

It is too short a day to be selfish

Take time to read

Take time to be friendly

Take time to work

It is the fountain of wisdom

It is the road to happiness

It is the price of success

Take time to do charity

It is the key to heaven

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love;where there is injury, pardon;where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light;and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love;for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Reading "A Simple Path"-Mother Teresa

heart clenching quotes -"Every act of love is a prayer"

"In the west we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where eveything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generte results. In the East-especially in India-I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably call this wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening without a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The sucess of love is in the loving-it is not in the result of loving."

I saw Fireproof last night and was blown away that in this time of warring over the purity of marriage God brings about this movie to add to the movements that are going on in the spirit realm ! It is full of scripture, and defines a Godly marriage, hallelujah! -I pray blessings on the film crew and actors involved.
Pray for Lou, pray for all the leaders in the Godly movement against the Jezebel spirit, pray that pastors would join together and unite His bride! Pray for the Call San Diego, for the ELECTION, pray for Bolivia, pray for Africa, for India, the world, God hears your cries!
I recieved and email tonight informing me that Kannan, my child, my friend, 8 years old in India, is no longer supported by my funds, or recieving my letters, his family has moved away. Where they are I do not know, I was upset to think that it was all over so suddenly, and that he was taken from my care. But then I realized that if not for this time I had with him, knowing he existed then I would'nt be able to pray for him as long as I lived, and maybe I will not be able to see him as I wished to so much, in this world, but I pray we live together in the coming Kingdom! Please pray his family, small and broken would be very open to God's will and that in their faith they'd be protected with boldness surrounding them.

In this new Jewish year let us gather as the body, pray for the war, pray for Israel, this Thursday is Yom Kippur, a day of intense fasting, focus in and send arrows directed fatality at the enemy's lies.
Shana Tova, Shalom

"The Hiding Place"-Corrie Ten Boom
*before being released from solitary confidement
"More time passed. I kept my eyes on the ant hole, hoping for a last visit from my small friends, but they did not appear. Probably I had frightened them by my early dashing about. I reached into the pillowcase, took out one cracker, and crumbled it about the little crack. No ants. They were staying safely hidden. And suddenly I realized this too was a message, a last wordless communication among neighbors. For I, too, had a hiding place when things were bad. Jesus was this place, the Rock cleft for me. "- this along with the other hiding place where the Jews were in (within the secret room) show a picture of complete dependance upon Him who hides you, who can keep you from harm, and lead the enemy into confusion, the Lord protects His loved ones.

8th of Tishrei, 5769 Let us see YOUR Glory, have Mercy on this nation.

"The ultimate in green living is almost here. Think bus shelters, street lamps, and even houses -- all grown from trees. The process of shaping living trees to create objects, referred to as arborsculpture and pooktre, is well known among hobbyists (a simple Web search shows plenty of results for the art form). Now, researchers at Israel's Tel Aviv University are teaming up with eco-living company Plantware to create commercial structures on a larger scale.
Expect to see results in the U.S., Australia, and Israel, where the joint team has set up eco-architecture projects to create civic amenities, including playgrounds, hospital benches, street lamps, and gates. Instead of shaping trees grown in soil and water to form these structures, the team will grow trees in the air, to create malleable "soft roots." This patented engineering technique will make it easier to build larger structures. How large? Possibly as big as an entire house. According to Plantware, it will be about a decade, though, before the first prototype of this green home appears. As we all know, trees don't just grow overnight. "

Tuesday Ramadan begins, the Muslim month of prayer and fasting, no food OR water from sunrise to sunset. I encourage you to research it for yourself for a better understanding, its amazing how belivers in the True God show less loyalty than these of related religions.

The Elections are going to be at the beginning of November, and my personal convictions coinside with the call of Lou Engle for a 40 period of fasting leading up to the election. Prayers have already been answered in that a pro-life VP candidate has come on the scene, let's push these moves of God to greater hights!

Feast of Trumpets =Rosh Hashanah

The Lord said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites: 'On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. Do no regular work, but present an offering made to the Lord by fire.' "

Day of Atonement =Yom Kippur

The Lord said to Moses, "The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present an offering made to the Lord by fire. Do no work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the Lord your God. Anyone who does not deny himself on that day must be cut off from his people. I will destroy from among his people anyone who does any work on that day. You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live. It is a sabbath of rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your sabbath."

Feast of Tabernacles

The Lord said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites: 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Lord's Feast of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days. The first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work. For seven days present offerings made to the Lord by fire, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present an offering made to the Lord by fire. It is the closing assembly; do no regular work."

I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the
same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same
diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same
winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not
bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble
you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian,what is his humility?
Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be
by Christian example? ...The Merchant of Venice- shakespeare

Jehoram - "yah is high"

See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.

Isaiah 49:16

Beauty & the Beast

" 'No, father,' said Beauty, in a resolute tone, 'you shall set out tomorrow
morning, and leave me to the care and protection of providence.'They went to
bed, and thought they should not close their eyes all night; but scarce were
they laid down, than they fell fast asleep, and Beauty dreamed, a fine lady
came, and said to her, 'I am content, Beauty, with your good will, this good
action of yours in giving up your own life to save your father's shall not go
unrewarded.' Beauty waked, and told her father her dream, and though it helped
to comfort him a little, yet he could not help crying bitterly, when he took
leave of his dear child."

You are probably familiar with the tale. The movie doesn’t do it justice I am sad to say. A merchant with 3 daughters becomes poor. Beauty works hard, her sisters do not. Her father leaving on a trip asks if they wish anything, she only asks for a rose. Lost in the woods on his return home he is taken in by the Beast but the Beast is angered when he picks a rose. Beauty takes the place of her father when the Beast calls for a payment, and ends up falling in love with him. Her sister’s marry and become more miserable, and are then turned into stone for their ways. Beauty becomes queen and bride of the prince who is no longer the Beast.
Now biblical parallels can be found many places, sometimes easily, sometimes after many years of study. I find this story more than a mere fable; it’s a pure representation of restoration and love. The Beast is like man in that he was placed under a curse for his pride, he was a son of the King. Beauty is like the Son of Man who takes on her father’s sin as her own. It can be configured in a few different ways showing different angles. The sisters are like those that are vain and never see the truth. Beauty is also akin to Esther in that she, pure of heart, won the heart of the King. One last symbol that I would like to point out is that The Beast can be seen as “the Redeemer” who took on a form not of His own (prince in disguise) and suffered because he loved His Beauty so much-the church. Only when the church sees who He is, and becomes aware of the love she has for Him, can she be joined with Him. Its always encouraging that when these small realizations come up, their timing could never be better.
For the whole story http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/beauty.html

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek. that I may
dwell in the house of the LORD all the days
of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his
temple.

Belle means beauty, The Beast could not live without her and was going to die, but she returned to him. He repeatedly asked for her hand in marriage but was willing to settle for her presence in his estate.

ISAIAH 56!- this is a great chapter

I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God! For
he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of
righteousness. I am like a bridegroom in his wedding
suit or a bride with her jewels. 11 The Sovereign Lord will show his
justice to the nations of the world. Everyone will praise
him! His righteousness will be like a garden in early
spring, with plants springing up everywhere.
