Is there hope for the world? This story says there is. ENGLISH
这个世界有希望吗？这则故事将告诉您有。 Chinese Version
[1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
[2] Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. [3] Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; [4] Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. [5] For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. [6] And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. [7] And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
[8] For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: [9] But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: [10] Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; [11] Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
[12] For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. [13] For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; [14] As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus. [15] And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit; [16] And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea. [17] When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? [18] But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
[19] For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
[20] For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. [21] Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; [22] Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. [23] Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. [24] Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
- Opportunity abounds if you just open your heart and look around
Today I had the opportunity to have lunch with a classmate that I had not seen since we graduated from High School. We attended a very small school with only 60-something (there is some question on the exact number, it seems our memories are not what they used to be. lol) graduates that year. And even with that small number, we were the largest graduating class that the town had ever had. We had a blast talking about the old days and, of course, how everyone has changed. But the one thing that has surprised our class (we are in the process of planning our next class reunion) is that, as seniors, we were looked upon as rebels, hippies, and the wild bunch! We wanted to be different.
Now that we have reconnected with many of our classmates on Facebook, we are astounded to find that out of that group of “outside the box” students, we have become a large group of dedicated prayer warriors. Just out of the 32 we have connected with so far, almost everyone is a dedicated and active prayer warrior. Not just going through the motion-type churchgoers. We are working for the Lord every single day. It has been a blessing to discover just how strong the Lord has become in each of our lives. So never underestimate the power of prayer, as I am sure that our parents prayed over us “crazy teenagers” without ceasing. Thank you to all of your parents for that. And I think that you would all be ecstatic to see the answer to your prayers today. Thank you, Lord, for never leaving our sides and guiding us down the right path. We are the result of what Faith can do.

- PTWG: Prayer
Good morning Friends; here is today’s prayer…
Oh, Breath of God, Please breathe on me. The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4 NKJV
Fill me with life anew, that I may love what You love, say what You say and do what You do. Please breathe on me, Breath of God, until my heart is pure until my will becomes one with Your Will. Breathe on me, Breath of God, until I am totally yielded to You until every part of me glows with Your divine fire, until this life that I now live is not mine but Yours. In the holy name of Jesus, I come to You in prayer and worship, amen.
Adapted from the hymn Breathe on Me Breath of God, by Edwin Hatch (1878)…
- Breathe on me, Breath of God, Fill me with life anew, That I may love what Thou dost love, And do what Thou wouldst do.
- Breathe on me, Breath of God, Until my heart is pure, Until with Thee I will one will, To do and to endure.
- Breathe on me, Breath of God, Till I am wholly Thine, Until this earthly part of me Glows with Thy fire divine.
- Breathe on me, Breath of God, So shall I never die, But live with Thee the perfect life Of Thine eternity.

- A prayer for today: PTWG
GOOD MORNING FRIENDS. HERE IS TODAY’S PRAYER…
Dear Lord God,
Please use me today and guide me so that I will have the mind of Christ in all I do. Help me to not do anything out of any selfish ambition or conceit…
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:3-5
Please help me to remain humble and never consider myself better than others…
Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” I Peter 5:5
Please provide me with the means and the desire to look after the interests of others as well as my own interests. Philippians 2:4
I pray that I will have a godly attitude in all of my actions and decisions and that Your love will flow through me to serve and reach others in Your name. Lord, I pray that I may be a blessing to You and to everyone around me today. I truly desire to fulfill Your two great commandments today and every day…
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”Matthew 22:36-40
In the holy name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

- Just too Blessed to be Depressed
Nothing earth-shaking happened today. I love being around my great-nieces. They are a hoot and make me laugh. And they laugh at my jokes. Who could ask for anything better than that? Talked to 2 of my best friends today on the phone instead of typing at them…LOL, I guess God decided to take it easy on me today. So I could keep this entry short. We have some nasty weather, so I must shut down my computer before it arrives. I am going to relay my daily devotional to you instead. It is pertinent to some of my emails and conversations today. Gotta love Charles Stanley!
May 31, 2011: Walking in the Word: PSALM 119:97-104
People make a lot of decisions on any given day. Most choices present themselves quickly, leaving little time to weigh the pros and cons. So we “go with our gut.” However, believers who desire to walk wisely through the perils of this world require something more reliable than flesh-based instinct. We need godly knowledge and principles to guide us, so we must meditate on the Word.
I mention meditating on Scripture often in my writing and preaching—and for a good reason. The Bible is the key to knowing God and following His will. Believers simply cannot neglect to spend time poring over its words. If you want to be sure of God’s perspective on an issue, you go to the sourcebook to fill your mind with truth.
All of us have a sort of grid around our minds. It comprises the principles we were taught as children, the habits we’ve formed, and the information we accept as accurate. New knowledge coming our way passes through that grid and is either assimilated or rejected. Think about TV commercials—those persuasive ads full of beautiful people are designed to steal past your mind’s defenses. The Devil has the same goal: getting past your grid and gaining a mental and spiritual foothold.
Psalm 119:97-104 is a passage of scripture that speaks to the value of meditating on God’s law. It emphasizes the importance of seeking understanding and wisdom from His word and the blessings that come with obedience to His commands. As we focus our hearts and minds on His truth, we can experience the peace and joy that only He can provide. May we continually seek His guidance and direction as we navigate this life with faith and hope. Some of the darts that Satan aims at your mind seem harmless or even good—that’s why “going with your gut” is so dangerous. A mental grid plastered with biblical truth is essential for Christians because it identifies and rejects whatever is sinful, poorly timed, or unfit for God’s children.

This is the screaming thought that I wake up to every day when my eyes open. Father, we, the church, are so disconnected from each other that we forget our purpose. We are looking to men to change the minds of people. We are looking for laws to force people to serve and worship you. Father, I pray for the sick and inform them that they will use every opportunity of the illness as a divine appointment. That whoever is taking care of them will hear of your mercy and grace from your children, Father. That they will hear about our Good, Good Father who loves them and wants the best for them. That they will hear about how He gave up his one and only precious Son so they could be part of his family. That these essential workers will come to know Jesus or be strengthened in their faith when they see your precious child who is afflicted by illness glorify you in their affliction. I pray for each prayer warrior and their active engagement in praying for the needs of others on the group page. Lord, I know that it is an honor to be able to call upon your name on behalf of others. I do not take it lightly. Bless each person reading this post and cover them under the shadow of your mighty wings. Amen.
