>We should always take time to remember all HE has done for us.
> If, You aren't ashamed to do this...
>Please share the love of His word with others around you. Even those you do not know.
>Yahshua said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
>Not ashamed? Because every effort of the ruler of this world is to make you feel that way.
>Really?
>Yes, I do Love God. So I fight those efforts to make me feel ashamed and you should (and can) too!
>Yahweh is my source of existence. My strength and my Salvation.
>He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I will be (and am) nothing. But, with Yahshua who is Christ, HE strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
>This is the litmus test if you will.
>If You Love God... And, are not ashamed of all the marvelous things HE has done for you...
>Take an opportunity to share His Word TODAY! Let the light of His love shine through you, and through your life in general!
>Now, do you have the time to pass it on?
>========= Easy vs. Hard ===========
>This is evidence of the attempts of the ruler of this World to prevent your sharing the truth of the Word of God:
>Ask yourself -
>Why is it so hard to tell the truth, yet so easy to tell a lie?
>Why is it so easy to do things that are bad for our bodies, our minds, and our spirit, but so costly and arduous to do that which is detrimental to either one or all three?
>Why are we so sleepy in church (or even a school lecture or anything else that may be beneficial) but Right when the it is over we suddenly wake up?
>Why is it so easy to delete a God-oriented e-mail, but yet forward all of the nasty ones?
>Why is it that negative and destructive events are front page news, but positive, uplifting and Godly news is buried and must be searched out of the paper?
>Why is it that those individuals whose lives are raucus, base, and self destructive are paraded before us continually as idols worthy of aspiration?
>==================>>>
>See what I mean? The enemy of humanity that rules this world desires only our destruction. All things which lead to the destruction of a person or a people come from the same source.
>Of all the truly free gifts we may receive, Prayer is the very best one....
>It's still free so let's pour it out liberally!!!
>There are no costs, but wonderful rewards... GOD BLESS!

>Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell?
>Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God) through practices of materialism and idolatry?
>Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing?
>Isn't it funny how when you go to send this type of message, we will not send it to many on our address list because we're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of us for sending it to them?
>Isn't it funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us?
>Hmmmmmm. . .
>In the name of Yahweh, our one true Elohim, and to Yahshua, His Christ, most high praise forever and ever, and may He bless you all within His will.
Amen, Amen and Amen.
