MUSULMANES AFGANOS EN GUYANA
FEBRERO
DIA 07
¡Africanos exóticos e influencias asiáticas se mezclan en Guyana, Sudamérica! Diferencias políticas trajeron desorden y agitación después de que Guyana ganó su independencia de Inglaterra. La violencia étnica ha surgido muchas veces en los pasados años. Gente decente del sur de Asia, como los urdus y los pushtun, a menudo tienen que enfrentar la violencia en Guyana. Los pushtun son musulmanes sunitas, un grupo religioso que compone cerca del 12% de la población de este país.
Sabemos poco acerca de los musulmanes afganos en Guyana, pero Dios conoce cada necesidad de sus corazones. Sólo Dios puede llevar paz y unidad a esta gente. Muchos musulmanes afganos con el apellido Kahn, tienen una larga historia de resistir a los británicos y otros gobiernos colonizadores. A algunos les queda bien el perfil de “agitadores pushtun”, una imagen que sus paisanos en Afganistán están tratando de quitarse. Parte de su código de honor es cortar de raíz todo aquello que ellos consideran una injusticia. Hay un buen número de personas con el apellido Khan en Guyana. Los musulmanes afganos han servido en Guyana como soldados.

My testimony

Posted by Tricia Sturgeon

I was born in Ft. Carson Colorado to an army staff seargent and his wife in 1964. I have 2 older brother (one of whom deceased) and an older sister. Rumor in the family has it that my real mom was a prostitute who "serviced" the service men on the base. When I was still a baby my real mom left my dad. He was about to be sent to Vietnam for combat and didnt know what to do about his kids. So he divided us up with his 3 sisters till if or when he came home. The ones he put me with didnt have children of their own so they set about filing for adoption which after some time my real father agreed to.
It wasnt until I was 6 years old that I found out I had siblings. My real father did return home and lived in the same town I did. I saw him every day but never really had that connection of father to daughter with him. My adoptive parents were my mom and dad, the only ones I ever knew.

WILLING AND OBEDIENT

Isaiah 1:19 says, " If you are willing and obedient, then you will eat the best of the Land."

A young boy was acting up and his dad told him to sit down. The boy was very defiant and the dad had to repeat himself, "sit down!" The boy sat down with his arms folded said, “ I might be sitting down on the outside, but I am still standing up on the inside!”

EL PUEBLO ANIMISTA KANKUAMO DE COLOMBIA

Posted by LUCY RIVERA

EL PUEBLO ANIMISTA KANKUAMO DE COLOMBIA
FEBRERO
DIA 08
Este pueblo cree que el lugar en donde está establecido su hogar, en las montañas Sierra Nevada, es el centro del mundo. Ciertamente, es el centro de su propio mundo, un mundo de espíritus a quienes ellos temen y buscan controlar a través de sus ritos. En esta montaña, ellos trabajan en el campo cultivando fríjol, maíz, caña de azúcar y ciertas plantas para obtener su comida, como el plátano para freír. También cultivan la planta de la cocaína para venderla y ganar más dinero. Ellos necesitan saber que Jesús es el Pan de Vida; que tiene poder sobre todos los espíritus y que El quiere que sean parte de la comunidad y familia de Jesús.
Los kankuamo podrían aprender de Jesús si tuvieran la Palabra de Dios en su propio idioma. Pero, ¿cuál es su idioma? Aunque están en la lista de las tribus que tienen su propio idioma, podrían hablar también otro idioma, así que, es necesario que la Biblia y el evangelio se grabe en ambas lenguas.

Oremos por un equipo de traductores bíblicos que sean capaces de vivir y compartir con un pueblo primitivo como este. Oremos para que su situación lingüística sea definida y clarificada, y de esta manera los traductores conozcan a qué traducción se le debería dar prioridad. Oremos para que Dios esté preparando la tierra de sus corazones para cuando llegue la cosecha. Oremos para que las ataduras de Satanás sobre este pueblo sean debilitadas. Oremos para que hagan de Jesús el centro de su mundo.

This is an event in my life that is very real to me, and I remember the experience as if it just happened today. Thank you for reading , and may the Lord discern his truth for you. God Bless.

1994.... I was feeling rather dizzy as I was working on my step daughters bedroom room painting. Note: At this the time in my life I was suffering from heart palpitations and under a doctors supervision I was to wear a heart monitor called the king of hearts.

DO WE REALLY HAVE FREE WILL TO CHOOSE ?

Posted by TheeTruthSeeker

Dear friends, please enjoy the article below on free will. The question has been asked for many , many years do we have the ability to choose our own faith/religion for that matter are we merely the ones deciding if we are a choosen people or not ?

Today we answer just those questions using the only source of truth that we know of called the Holy Bible. Much time and research is put into each article thus making sure to bring forth TRUTH in scripture and not our own interpretation. Lets keep in mind Scripture will not contradict its self, its our interpretation that's contradictable.

PRIMERA ESCENA: JOSE Y SUS HERMANOS

PRIMERA ESCENA: JOSÉ Y SUS HERMANOS

FEBRERO

DIA 09

“Ésta es la historia de Jacob y su familia. Cuando José tenía diecisiete años, apacentaba el rebaño junto a sus hermanos, los hijos de Bilhá y de Zilpá, que eran concubinas de su padre. El joven José solía informar a su padre de la mala fama que tenían estos hermanos suyos. Israel amaba a José más que a sus otros hijos, porque lo había tenido en su vejez. Por eso mandó que le confeccionaran una túnica especial de mangas largas”. Génesis 37:2-3

JOSÉ: Papá, hermanos, vengan, le cuento mi sueño; soñé que ate varios manojos en el campo, mi manojo se levantaba derecho, mientras sus manojos se inclinaban ante el mío.

Companionship

Posted by Bob Bushman

I have been inspired with a truth this week about companionship. In the Trinity (Father,Son,Holy Spirit) is this wonderful companionship called God. God knew that if He was going to create mankind in his image that companionship was going to be an important aspect of Humanity.

Jesus said that the commandments can be summed up in 2 commands which are to love God and one another.
Sin breaks companship with God and others.

When Faced with Opposition, Take Your Position!

Posted by Pastor Narda Goodson, First Lady of Whitewright, Texas

Discouragement and desperation are tools that the enemy uses to keep us from reaching our goal in Christ. From the beginning of time many have given up their dreams and hopes due to the incessant assaults from the enemy. This is why we are admonished in 2 Corinthians 10:5 to cast down every imagination and thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.

There are times we will feel like we want to concede defeat. The pressures of life dig at you without mercy. The relentless stress, anxiety, and demands of your problems increase as you find your ability to cope decreasing. You begin to lose your grip in life and eventually, you breakdown in despair.

I am going on a mission trip to Haiti in March, 2010. As I was browsing the membership list the other day I came across One lady from Haiti and I have not had time to try to locate her again (I didn't get thru the whole list so there may be more). Does any know who she is? And if there are more please let me know. Thanks

I Found My Keys!

Posted by Daughter Of The Most High / Faye

" And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." ~ Matthews 16:17-19

While reading this passage, I found myself thinking of my poor husband. He always complaining how "I can't keep up with my keys and If God gave me a set keys that I would lose them". That was something for me to ponder on.
Because as a child of God, I have a set of keys. As I meditated furter,I reasoned the keys were for binding and loosing. I've read this passage many times but not with my husbands comment in mind.How did this passage apply to my daily life! how could I use it day to day.

Early Morning Touch ©

Posted by Daughter Of The Most High / Faye

At about 3 am each morning, He touch me ever so gently. Out of sleep I come, wondering what have I forgotten. It took me a while to listen closely. My undivided attention was required and this is His time to speak to me. My Lord and savior , whom I love so, for being so patient with me, has granted and requested a special audiance with me. At times the old man in me want to just go back to sleep but I know I''ll miss my blessing if I do. To meditate, pray and praise the Lord without all the day to day interruptions is difficult during daytime hours so He has blessed me with this special time. Thank You Jesus for your love and guidance.

Why We Chose The Ransom

Posted by The Ransom

I feel like when you first decide to start a band, you have to come up with a name, something that would be catchy, that people would remember, something that would really stand out yet also tell what you are all about in a nutshell.
When we started the band scene, we went through a couple of names. One of the first bands we ever played in I came up with the name Godspeed. I was playing drums for that band, but then we went our separate ways, so I threw the idea around about using that name for us since the other band was no longer together. Then we came up with the name Ransomed. The reasoning was that we as a band were the ransomed of the Lord, we were all saved by His blood just like you are the ransomed of the Lord. After a year with that name, we decided to get a little more personal with our message and went with a name that tells what we are all about, The Ransom. It's the gift that was given for each individual, that all we had to do was accept it and we would be saved. Our name comes from Mark 10:45

Love Is Everything

Posted by Bishop Susan Storm Smith

"Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, and with all of your soul and with all of your strength, and with all of your mind ..." Luke 10:27 NIV

How many times do we tell ourselves and God that we love Him with all that we have, yet we are holding on to some secrets deep inside? I was reading a wonderful book called "I Do Again" by Cheryl and Jeff Scruggs. While reading about their challenges, divorce and the secret that tore them apart, I thought of our individual and corporate relationship with Christ.

Have you become comfortable that God surely is here with me but not sure? Do you believe that He is the lover of your soul and loves you no matter what? Do you take it for granted without putting anything into the relationship? We tend to treat our relationship with God the way we tend to our physical relationships. It takes work to make them be good.

"I did the right thing God...so why don't I feel better?"

Posted by Tamara Canup Graves

Oh my goodness.

Sometimes, I know I have to do the right thing. And sometimes, I even manage to do the right thing I'm supposed to be doing. But man...sometimes...I don't feel any better about it.

Today we were leaving the apartments to go take me to have some lab work done. We pulled out of the gates to our neighborhood, and got stopped by a bus getting ready to drop off some kids. I used to aid on a special needs bus so I recognized that they were getting ready to unload someone in a wheelchair. So I motioned to Joseph to stop and pointed at the "stop" sign that was sticking out. I told him it probably wouldn't take long. Well, then the bus driver shoves her hand out the window and waves another bus and a car that were in front of us to go ahead around. Joseph looked at me and said, "Should I go too?" I looked at the aid that had just finished unloading the student and I said, "Well, I guess they don't mind...go ahead". So we begin to pull around when all of a sudden the aid comes running around to the back of the bus and starts screaming at us, "STOP!! THAT'S ILLEGAL!!" Joseph hits the breaks and I roll down the window and say, "I'm sorry?" She stands there and she keeps yelling, "That's illegal! Don't you know that's illegal!? What's wrong with you?? You can't pass a bus! Don't you see that stop sign!? That's what it's for!!!" I was caught completely off guard and instead of saying, "Well, I thought it was okay", I got chocked up and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was...I'm sorry". She then said, "Oh so you didn't know it was illegal then??" I said, "Yes ma'am..I'm sorry". She replied again, "You didn't know it was illegal??" Again, I responded, "Yes ma'am...I'm really sorry". Then, she kinda smiled, cocked her head and said, "Do you even have a license??".... ugh...I responded, "Yes ma'am, I do." Then she just stood there staring at us with that smirk and said, "Well, it's illegal to pass a bus. So YOU can just wait until we get done here." So we did. I rolled up the window and she glared at us until she finished putting the ramp back up. Then, the anonymous bus driver waved us by and we were off.

recent incident at work

Posted by Tescaangel

I am asking all that will keep me and some of my coworkers at work....in your prayers... I work for -Tsa - airport security officer and have been on the job for 6-7 yrs.. its one that God has given me... today i was called into our managers office and being this kind of situation its naturally to assume the worst although i had prayed that God give me the strength to get through this and the right words to say...not knowing what to expect at all...I had an investigator... introduce himself to me..and questioned about an incident at work that happen Sept 13, 2008 on the lane i was assigned too... this passenger is accusing us (teammates) of taking $225.00 out our their bags during the screening process for selectees (additional screening required by the airlines) they claim that they could not see their bags and that's when supposedly their money was taken.

I hold to my integrity here of being honest in my job...and i personally wouldn't compromise my job for anything... although this investigator told me of course and tried to prod me with Q's to see if i was lying and telling me that everyone 9 out of 10 people lie in the first question he ask... of course he Q'ed me about our procedures and i told him the correct way....and he also ask if would tell on a coworker if i knew of anyone taking money or drugs ...etc... he also ask me about my children and if they have pond or sold anything lately ... or even if i had on eBay or craigs list...he also put it that of course my job is on the line and about 9 others employees including our supervisor....

Doing all things Through Christ

Posted by Daniel Baumet

Have I already mentioned Martha? I wonder was she trying just to impress Yeshua with her devotion to Him? Did she really think He liked people to keep their nose to the grindstone? In response to Martha's complaints about her apparently idle sister, Jesus quietly said, "Only one thing is needed" (Lk 10:42, NIV). He accepts only labors of love. Jesus had the total responsibility of world redemption on His mind, yet He never seemed worried about whether He was doing enough serving. He had time to let Mary sit as His feet – He did not keep jumping up, fretting about all the "important" things that had to be done.
The message I share is that the blessings of God are not given in proportion to our hard work, rather like Rachel being the reward for Jacob's seven years of hard work. It is easy for preachers to castigate people for what they do not do, because we are all human and show signs of it! So they are never short of material to criticize! But our imperfections are forgiven. When Yeshua asked, "What do you do more?" He was not cracking the whip. We do not have to go through agonies for God to be with us, work ourselves up into a sweat for God to keep His promise or strain every muscle to pull down Holy Spirit power.

When Weeping Is Okay

Posted by Bishop Susan Storm Smith

When Weeping Is Okay
"This is what the Lord Almighty says, "Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come; send for the most skillful of them." Jeremiah 9:17 NIV

I wonder what changes would be made around the world if the people of Almighty God would actually want to just come together in prayer? A friend of mine was asked to attend an all-night prayer vigil, much like Jeremiah was requesting in the above scripture. She was about to attend but thought to ask more about it.

She asked what they planned to do and if there was a theme or major concern that they were coming together to pray over. The woman who was inviting my friend was very enthusiastic in giving the details of how to get to the church, who had agreed to attend, and ... who was cooking all the food. When asked why they were serving food at a prayer vigil, the reply was astounding. "Well, you know, being up all night and praying makes you hungry, so we want to have something available for the sisters to eat, keep them going."

INVERSOR DEL REINO

Posted by LUCY RIVERA

INVERSOR DEL REINO

FEBRERO

DIA 12

Una cosa es invertir dinero, para asuntos personales, aunque invertir es gastar, egresar, y otra es ser inversor para servir a los demás. La Biblia manda a los ricos a ayudar a los pobres, y dar para las misiones.

El Señor retó al joven rico ayudar al pobre. “Al ver Jesús que se había entristecido mucho, dijo: --¡Cuán difícilmente entrarán en el reino de Dios los que tienen riquezas!” Lucas 18:24

El Reino de los cielos no margina al rico, pero si éste no se da al Señor y no ayuda al necesitado, es un egoísta, falto de la gracia de Dios. Por eso es clave ser un inversor financiero, pero con un corazón cristiano.

Please pray for my family

Posted by Heather Lynn Bodrey

I woke up this morning. I went to the gym to work out with my boyfriend:Heath,and to go tanning. Our work out session went great. I came home refreshed and ready for the day. After Heath left for work I took a short nap. (We go and work out at 5 in the morning... so a nap is neccesary for me lol) Well I woke from my nap at around noon refreshed and ready to take on the world....I had some lunch and walked a 1/4 of a mile to and from our mailbox, so you can probally imagine I was proud of myself. The day was going to be a wonderful day I thought. However, soon after I returned from getting the mail I received a text message from my mom in GA. The reason I say my mom in GA is because I have two moms. My biological mother lives about 30mins away from me in Florida, and my step mother (the women who raised me from the time I was 5 until I moved out this past summer) who lives in GA. My mom text me to inform me that my Papa Sonny who is around 64yrs old was diagnosed with prostate cancer today. Growing up in a rural farm town in GA I learned very quickly there isnt much to do to keep yourself intertained as a younge child. So my days growing up mainly consisted of riding my four wheeler to my Papa Sonny's house which just so happened to be at the beginning of our drive way. I would "help" him work on my mom's racecar, the lawn mower , etc.

Here in BC it is the year 2009 .. next year is 2010 the year the Olympics arrive. While many are preparing for the event, billed as the event of a life time, I have been quietly smiling and observing all that is surrounding me.
Over the last while for those that do not know, there has erupted a gang war.. which has gone unchecked and worsening.
The fact that I am a security guard, in a mall at ground "0" adds to concerns. So .. now add to the fact several malls in the immediate area have experienced shootings, add to that my interest in numbers, make you wonder when my number is up ..

HAZ LEIDO LA BIBLIA?

¿HAZ LEÍDO LA BIBLIA?
FEBRERO
DIA 13
Un muchacho notó un libro lleno de polvo encima de un estante alto. Eso despertó su curiosidad, por lo que preguntó a su madre acerca del libro. Avergonzada, la madre explicó precipitadamente: “Ah, es una Biblia. Es el libro de Dios.” El muchacho pensó por un momento y luego dijo: “Bueno, si es el libro de Dios, ¿por qué no se lo devolvemos? De todas formas, aquí nadie lo usa.”
En muchos hogares, la Biblia apenas se usa y a veces ni siquiera se piensa en ella. La única vez que la leen es cuando hay problemas, enfermedad o muerte en la familia. Y aun entonces, la persona tal vez no sepa dónde buscar la ayuda que necesita.
