I don't think it is a new understanding of the Gospel. There is only one Gospel. Like Paul says Romans 2 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. I actually see what saves me. It is his work on the cross and it is up to me to confess that Jesus is the Messiah and that he Paid the price for me on the cross. It has nothing to do with what I can do. It is Jesus's shed blood that takes away my sin record and Now I can praise his name that I can truly say I am SAVED.I don't know why It has taken me a few years to see this fact that was before my eyes all the time. I was to involved in arguing stupid points that have and had nothing to do with salvation. speakeasy | ||

Dear Speakeasy, I Praise God that He has opened your eyes! Oh how my heart had longed to hear such a good report from you. We have a Mighty Saviour, Jesus the Messiah (Christ)! Hallelu-YAH! and Amen. I'll continue to pray for you and as Colleen has wisely said: Let God Himself lead you and as you wait, become grounded in the Word of God. (my paraphrase on Colleens words--hope you don't mind Colleen)  Denise Gilmore | ||

Thanks for all of your support and prayers for me. This wonderful break through of what God has shown me thru what Jesus did on the cross has just filled me with confidence. I just want more. Can you imagine yourself saying that we do not need a redeemer and we do not need to be saved. And the messiah concept as we know it is just a fruad. This is what I came out of in the Jewish mind set. The Law is your guide to what pleases God.I don't blame many of the Jewish people for doing what the Law is telling them to do. It is hard for them to see that in the Torah when it says "You and your generations WILL do this for ALL your Life" This is tuff not to see. But on the other hand all of the Messianic prophecy's. That just point a big finger that JESUS is the Messiah. And they say NO NO he doesn't even rank in the top 100 of even being a messiah it is amazing to me. keep praying for Israel and praying Jewish people to come out behind the faults doctrines of there is no need for a Jewish person that follows the Law to have a redeemer. Does anybody have a good web site to study history of how our bible was put together? And the validity of it? speakeasy | ||

This section is titled, "Answered Prayers" and as such I will let you all know that I got hired at a good, stable job. I got the job over at the air force base as cook at the childcare center. I've been telling everyone I feed Uncle Sams babies. when I was a youngster I wanted to be in the navy. However, my life too a different route and I really have not gotten to serve this great country of my birth in the way I would have liked to. So, I am reconsiling my lack of military enlistment by doing my part by working now at the base. I thank my Lord and Savior daily for blessing me by accident of my birth to be able to be in the country I am in. The lady who runs the kitchen where I'll be working has been doing her job fo over 20 years and she is planning on retiering. So, I'm hopeing I can make this job a very long-term position. | ||

I just talked with the SRS and as I had mentioned earlier I need to get my brother-in-law back on after spending down insurance money which they told us 15 years ago he could keep. I spoke with the same person as I previously had dealt with and she advised that all I needed to do was fill out an application form and the payment for this month could be adjusted to leave him the allotted amount in his account. For any of you who may not remember; my brother-in-law has had MS since 1979 and I was delegated to take care of his affairs since family deserted him. He is almost total care except for use of right hand. He watches TV especially sports and does word search puzzles(which is getting harder for him). His mind is totally in tack which in some ways makes it more difficult. I have had the dubious job of taking all the hard earned money he had, retirements, Insurance and spending them. We could not even give any to his children of which he still cares even though they are not in his life except for a possible visit at Christmas. I had worried that I might have to go thru a lot of red tape to get him back on but it appears that will not be the case. Thank you God, Carol | ||

I am so thankful that I was not harmed as the awning I was walking on to clean windows with my husband gave way and I was holding onto a chain that supports it from the wall thus saving me. This is something we have done for some 20+ years and I have always been a little apprehensive about it. Someone was working on it and had loosend the part that I stepped on. Praise God for my safety, Carol | ||

My goodness,Carol! How frightening! Praise God for your safety! Colleen | ||

Denise, I praise God for your better health. At least it is showing up in your posts today. I was reading your post and all of a sudden it occured to me she's got it together. Praise God and I hope it is something that is in control. I know with my brother-in-law who has MS it comes and goes. It's good to see you in better spirit, Carol | ||

Dear Another Carol, Today, I'm especially Praising Jesus of Nazareth because Wednesday the 16th was my appointment with the Movement Disorder Specialist. God provided me a ride, the Doctor was thorough and honest and oh so very kind. Not dismissing me as some physcho case or something worse. She said that there is more going on than Dystonia and I'm now being sent back to two different Specialists! One is a Specialist on Multiple Sclerosis (something I was diagnosed with back in 98 but up here Doctors have been ignoring) and that is on May 1st at a large hospital. The second Specialist I'm set up with (all this happened today!) is a Parkinson's/Dystonia Specialist, July 14th, same hospital. I have hope as my body is completely twisting on me right now with much pain. I have HOPE. There were lots of prayers going up in my behalf from a few different Churches and forums. Today, this doctor came right out and said "this is NOT in your head." As so many Doctors were trying to say when they didn't want to deal with this disabling malady. God is with me! There is no doubt about this. He has heard all my otherwise unheard tears and He has seen my body being taken over by a ruthless monster. And God and God alone provided me the strength to endure this past 3 years "especially". Most people never knew I had a problem and I wasn't about to tell anyone. Kept thinking it would "go away." It has progressed and I have pretty good days, like right now to type, although my body and especially my feet are completely contorted into positions that would astonish the average bear. Then I have really bad days, and I have days when getting out of bed is impossible and I am in diapers. But there are no--Good days anymore, nor normal, pain free days ever. Yet, I know, without a doubt, God is with me. And for all those out there with crippling, disabling, body contorting, painful conditions......GOD IS WITH YOU!! Always and forevermore and HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU!! If you can, I say that because I've gone blind with this thing and just had eye surgery last week but they are still inflamed and painful, Read the Book of JOB. Now, JOB went through his trials, yet all the while, God was with him. JOBs "friends" were not, Job's wife was not,,,,,,he had nobody. But GOD WAS ON HIS SIDE. Never forget that, you out there that may not be able to type or see and have someone reading this message to you--GOD IS WITH YOU NOMATTER WHAT STORMS COME OUR WAY! Hallelu-YAH and Amen.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.-- Glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.--Ye, . . . as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.--By him . . . let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his name. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [thereof], and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. | ||

Dear Colleen, That Specialist is really seeing to it that the care I have been needing is finally about to transpire! I KNOW BEYOND KNOWING, THAT THIS WAS OF GOD OF HEAVEN! He is our Strength, our Rock, our Fortress, our All in All. You know, it's amazing what HIS Peace can do to a person. I'm not so anxiety filled as I have been for a few years, nor wondering when will the Lord Hear my pleas for He has heard them and now HE IS IN CHARGE. But, and I should type that BUT---it has taken every ounce of strength just to hang on to the Faith once Delivered to the Saints. And even here, God is the one who has given me that strength. Still, this has been quite a trial of Faith. Many times I had thought "that's it, I give." But God's Name is also Faithful and He would not let me go! Praise God of Heaven! His Name is Jealous and there was nothing in this life, nor in my death that would snatch me out of HIS GRIP. He is MY HUSBAND. Amen. Now that I've said all that. Don't think that from here on in, my life or posts will reflect a Christian with a whole lot of Faith or patience for that matter. I'm still in tremendous pain and my body is still writhing. And you wouldn't believe just how impatient that can make a person. I truly believe that pain can cause "insanity" or something very close to it. I was dilerious for 2 days once from pain alone and Praise God that He sent 2 people over that day and they found me in this condition and stayed for the entire 2 days. Day and Night. ONE OF THEM WAS LITTLE LAURA WHO HAS RECENTLY DIED IN MY ARMS. God Rest her soul. But, the difference now is that I KNOW GOD HEARD ME. Where before, I began to doubt. I really did. And now, there is a light in this long long tunnel and it's not a freight train! :::chuckle, an old AA saying::: I thank you for your continued prayer that God go before me to these new Specialists and give them "hearts of mercy and knowledge." Peace to your household. your sister IN Christ Jesus of Nazareth. Denise Gilmore | ||

Janice, I love those Scriptures and in particular I have posted this one on more than one occasion: "Ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.--" Amen to all those Scriptures and I would ask for your continued prayers as I walk this walk of Faith, ever pressing forward toward the mark of the high calling.....amen? Love to you and Peace to your household. your sister in Christ Jesus of Nazareth. Denise Gilmore | ||

Pain makes you impatient? Yah! A little back spasm is giving me probably about one billionth of the pain you have, but I am about as cranky as an old Ford Model A car. I cannot begin to imagine how you keep your spirits up in your situation. I am happy to hear you are getting the care you need. Praise God. | ||

Sister Denise, I have being going through a Physical deterioration situation for the last 15 years. Like you, I have good days and bad. And always the painful reminders that the good days, which aren't all that good, are as good as it's ever going to be. I keep holding to Romans 8:28 to the end of the chapter. I must honestly say I don't understand it....but I KNOW that it is all going be for "the good", for someone I may never know and eventually for me, when I see Him face to face. Then I will understand what this is all about. As I said, I don't understand but God in Heaven has given me the grace to trust Him completely in all things. Through all the frightening times and the painful times He has never failed to give me an opportunity to share Him with others. Maybe coming from a "Wreck" like me, the sweetness of he Gospel will have more meaning and more reality for someone hearing it for the first time, while giving me medical assistance. If that is my only function left in life, then I thank Jesus for the opportunity. It's worth the pain. Thank God for Easter! I love this season more than any other, now that I know what it really means. Jesus is ALIVE!! <>< Thmas | ||

Thomas, thank you for sharing your struggle with us. Amen to your feelings about Easter. I share them! I will keep you in prayer. Colleen |
