You might be thinking, "I read the Bible every day, so I’m hearing from the Lord every day."

<p></center></p>
<p>We have a living God, a speaking God! One who loves us, His children, and He particularly loves to speak to us! He can speak to any one of us who love Him.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;In the Last Days I will pour out of My Spirit upon <strong>all flesh</strong>: your sons and your daughters shall<strong> prophesy</strong>, and your young men shall see <strong>visions</strong>, and your old men shall dream <strong>dreams</strong>&#8221; (Acts 2:17).</span></p>
<p>You might be thinking, &#8220;I read the Bible every day, so I&#8217;m hearing from the Lord every day.&#8221; While it&#8217;s good to read the Bible, the recorded Word of the Lord, which is the foundation of our Christian faith, it&#8217;s wonderful to also hear straight from the Lord and <span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;take heed to His sure <strong>word of prophecy</strong>, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in our hearts&#8221; (2 Peter 1:19).</span></p>
<p>His Word says to <span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;Stir up the gift of God which is in you&#8221; (2 Timothy 1:6)</span>. So, every day should be a new experience for us, a new listening to the Voice of the Lord. Why live only on yesterdays spiritual food, when we can have fresh <span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;<strong>manna from Heaven</strong>&#8221; (John 6:58)</span> every day? Jesus still speaks today! Listen to what He told me on June 15, 2008:</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>I have the KEYS &#8211; simple keys to BREAKTHROUGH.</strong></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> It&#8217;s not complicated. You have to trust me on this. Just keep writing down what You hear me saying. I know what works and what doesn&#8217;t. I am the Alpha and Omega, so I see the end from the beginning. I have to show You before you can show others. What you shared at Soul Purpose Church today was good. Even though it seems that most people didn&#8217;t get it, seeds were planted. You have a generous heart. What you&#8217;re doing in secret, I will reward openly. That&#8217;s My word &#8211; that&#8217;s My promise. </span></p>

Sometimes you don't even know what that one thing is that would bring you total fulfillment, but guess what... God knows. He knows because He planted it in your heart before the foundation of the world. What could that be?]]></description>

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>&#8220;For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.&#8221; (John 3:16)</strong></span></p>
<p>Today was another historical day of taking  a stand  for the WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT.  Team destiny hosted their final of three WFJ (Words From Jesus) webinars in December  2009 called &#8220;The Miracle of Christmas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Joseph Peck served as the global connector and host of this webinar. The guest panelists were: Deb Smith, Richard Mayhan,  Bertha Hinson, and me,  Abigail Slocum. <strong>Clearly the Holy Spirit  took control of the webinar before it ever started and never let go!</strong></p>
<p><strong>He began by waking me up at 3:22 AM to give me this prophetic word &#8211; WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST! It was His way of orchestrating the whole focus for the discussion. These are the questions we covered:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>What is the Miracle of Christmas?</li>
<li>What is the significance of Isaiah 9:1-7?</li>
<li>How does someone come into the LIGHT of Jesus?</li>
<li>What can people do to experience their most special Christmas ever?</li>
<li>Prayer for an UNCOMMON Christmas blessing.</li>
</ol>
<p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Take the tour of the Word and be free in Christ. <strong>CHRISTMAS IS A SEASON FOR MIRACLES BUT EVERY DAY IS A MIRACLE IN CHRIST!</strong> TO BE IN CHRIST IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>SALVATION IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.</strong> It is Gods free gift to all mankind. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall be saved (have eternal life).(John 3:16).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">What is so miraculous is that <strong>SALVATION IS THE &#8220;GREAT EXCHANGE!&#8221;</strong> MAN GIVES GOD HIS IMPERFECT, BROKEN, SINFUL LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR A PERFECT (COMPLETE) LIFE IN CHRIST. JESUS GIVES HIS ALL FOR OUR ALL!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">When you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, the <strong>LIGHT OF THE WORLD &#8211; THE CANDLE OF MAN</strong>, comes into your heart to show you the most excellent way of all to live. IT IS THE WAY OF LOVE BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">In this &#8220;GREAT EXCHANGE,&#8221; your old sinful man dies and the new man comes alive in Christ. <strong>CHRIST LIVES THROUGH YOU</strong> to live the perfect will of God which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is your inheritance as a born again child of God. <strong>IT IS A LIFE OF VICTORY AND TOTAL PROVISION</strong>. To be one with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is to be free from every bondage of sin and to be free to experience the fullness and abundance of life in Christ Jesus. <strong>JESUS IS THE DOOR TO FREEDOM AND TOTAL FULFILLMENT</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Jesus arms are open wide and <strong>ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER OF LIGHTS IS YOURS WHEN YOU SAY &#8220;YES&#8221; TO JESUS</strong> who is the express image and likeness of God, and His Kingdom of Love becomes yours!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">IT IS A SUPERNATURAL GIFT OF DIVINE INFUSION AND PROPORTION AND IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL! Become one with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. <strong>ALLOW THE PRINCE OF PEACE TO RULE IN YOUR HEART FOREVERMORE</strong>, for God set eternity in the heart of man. He loves YOU so much and nothing will ever separate YOU from His love.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>LET THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD LIGHT YOUR PATH AND BE A BEACON OF HOPE TO ALL MANKIND</strong>. THE KING OF GLORY HAS CHOSEN AND MADE A WAY TO TAKE UP RESIDENCE IN YOUR HEART AND BE YOUR KING AND PRINCE OF PEACE. SAY YES TO HIM AND THE KINGDOM IS YOURS!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.</strong> The Redeemer wants to take all of you in your imperfection and transform you into the likeness of Christ. <strong>RECEIVE THE GREATEST GIFT KNOWN TO MANKIND AND LIVE &#8220;THE GREAT ADVENTURE&#8221; IN CHRIST</strong>. NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THIS INDECSRIBABLE GIFT OF PURE AND PERFECT LOVE. It is greater than anything you ever wanted for Christmas for it is the desire of your heart. <strong>RECEIVE GODS GIFT AND SPEND THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE AND ETERNITY UNWRAPPING JESUS</strong>, GODS GIFT OF HIMSELF WHO IS PERFECT LOVE. THERE IS NO END TO LOVE. REJOICE AND BE AT PEACE. <strong>IMMANUEL HAS COME!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">RECEIVE ALL OF THE GREATEST MIRACLE WHO EVER WAS OR IS TO COME! Let Christ have free reign in your heart and become His walking talking miracle and witness to all mankind. Your light has come. <strong>BE GLORIFIED IN HIS ETERNAL PRESENCE.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>I LOVE YOU, MY CHILD. BE MADE WHOLE. ENTER THE JOY OF THE LORD. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE PERFECT LOVER OF YOUR SOUL!</strong> BE SATISFIED IN ME. I AM YOUR FULFILLMENT AND HEARTS DESIRE. SHALOM.</span></p>
<p>Love in Jesus,</p>

<p><strong>Prayer Power</strong></p>
<p>If  you dont know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, please say this prayer out loud from your heart and you shall be saved and come into God&#8217;s Kingdom of Love.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Father God, I believe in my heart that you sent your Son Jesus to die on the cross for me. I believe Jesus paid my sin debt in full. It was a debt I could not  repay and it was a debt Jesus did not owe. Thank You, Jesus. I accept your perfect gift and sacrifice. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Baptize me in the power of your Holy Spirit and I will serve you all the days of my life! I am saved! I am free! Thank you, in Jesus name. Amen.</strong></span></p>
<p>May you allow the God of all hope and the Prince of  Peace to rule in your heart this day and forevermore.  May this truly be your most significant Christmas  ever as the FULLNESS of the gift of God&#8217;s LOVE FOR YOU,  becomes  an everyday  reality in your life!</p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><strong>I BLESS YOU with the joy, laughter, and peace of God! I BLESS YOU with God&#8217;s amazing grace! I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.</strong></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;This is your life. Are you who you want to be?&#8221; &#8212; Switchfoot</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;You shall love your neighbor AS YOURSELF.&#8221; (Mark 12:31)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">How would you rate your health in each of these four areas &#8212; spiritual, physical, emotional, relational &#8212; from 1 (terrible) to 10 (fantasic)?</span></p>
<p>Today is Day 5 in our 30 days series titled &#8220;One Month To Live,&#8221; based on Kerry and Chris Shook&#8217;s book by that same title. &#8220;One Month To Live empowers you to focus on being who God created you to be &#8211; passionate, fully alive, living without regrets.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve flown before on a commercial airline, you probably are familiar with this routine airline safety announcement, &#8220;In the event that our cabin pressure should change, an oxygen mask will be released from the overhead compartment. Please place the oxygen mask on yourself first before helping small children or others who may need assistance.&#8221;</p>
<p>While it may seem obvious that you can&#8217;t help anyone if you have passed out from lack of oxygen yourself, I&#8217;ve been guilty over the past few years of putting the oxygen mask on many others without taking in enough oxygen myself.</p>
<p>I confess that I have grossly undervalued my time and made poor choices that have allowed numerous Christians and Christian organizations to soak up my time and financial resources to the point where my income and business has become cachectic. Julia and I have sown every last penny we own into God&#8217;s Kingdom work.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve reached the point where we must be STRATEGIC in business and ministry. We can no longer afford to offer free services to any businesses or organizations.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that we don&#8217;t care. We simply don&#8217;t have any more money or time to give away.</p>
<p>Here are some excerpts from Chapter 5 of Kerry and Chris&#8217; book.</p>
<p>Jesus indicates that before we can really love others and make a difference in their lives, we have to first love ourselves. You have to first take time to get healthy so you can impact the world around you.</p>
<p>Get Physical: Whether you have thirty days or thirty years left, you should realize that how you treat your body has a direct and lasting impact on the quality of life you enjoy. Our bodies require sleep, exercise, clean air, water, and quality nourishment. To be healthy physically, we must be healthy spiritually and listen to what God says about our bodies. Check out the daily exercise and diet plan at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.OneMonthToLive.com" target="_blank">www.OneMonthToLive.com</a>.</p>
<p>How Do You Feel: The next crucial area where we must breathe first is in our emotional lives. So many people function according to how they feel. A huge part of maturing, of growing up, is learning to acknowledge and experience our emotions without being controlled by them. <span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and of love and self-control&#8221; (2 Timothy 1:7, RSV).</span></p>
<p>Relationally Connected: The whole reason we put the oxygen mask on ourselves first is so we can breathe in and get healthy and help someone find God&#8217;s oxygen. Breathing first is not selfish. It&#8217;s essential.</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
<span style="color: #ff6600;">Heavenly Father, forgive me for putting the oxygen mask on many others while neglecting myself. Thank You for your wake up call. I finally get it. May I never forget this life lesson. May many others benefit from the hard lesson I have learned. Thank You Jesus. Amen and hallelujah!</span></strong></p>

<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>P.S. At the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders in the U.K. earlier this year, the primary word received was &#8220;no more business as usual.&#8221;</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Zec 4:6 So he answered and said to me: &#8220;This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: &#8216;Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,&#8217; Says the LORD of hosts. </span></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><strong>Make It Last For Life &#8211; 3 simple action steps to apply today’s message</strong></p>
<p>1) How would you rate your health in each of these four areas &#8212; spiritual, physical, emotional, relational &#8212; from 1 (terrible) to 10 (fantasic)? What&#8217;s the greatest challenge to improving your health in these areas? What can you do to work through this challenge?</p>
<p>2) Spend time journaling about a specific goal for each of these four areas that you can pursue during the rest of this month. Make sure the goals are practicle and measurable.</p>
<p>3) Connect daily to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.OneMonthToLive.com" target="_blank">www.OneMonthToLive.com</a> and spend fifteen to thirty mintues working on your spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational health.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;Shalom has been one of my favorite words for a long while. It&#8217;s more than a greeting, encompassing wholeness, health, well-being, integrity, healing&#8221; &#8212; Jan Bishop (Australia)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you;&#8221; (John 14:27)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">How valuable is your health?<br />
Who do you trust for information about health and Wellness?</span></p>
<p>Today you have a choice &#8212; potentially a monumental choice. This email could just be another one that wastes 5 minutes of your time or it could profoundly alter the rest of your life and the lives of those closest to you.</p>
<p>My friend Jeff Bernstein, founder of Gates of Zion, taught me that the word &#8220;Shalom&#8221; means much more than peace. It means complete peace and wellness &#8212; body, mind, soul, and spirit. According to Wikipedia, &#8220;Shalom is a Hebrew word meaning peace, completeness, and welfare [i.e. complete peace and wholeness] and can be used idiomatically to mean both hello and goodbye.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Jim Cornish of Canada, &#8220;It is estimated that the average human adult body contains about 10 trillion cells. Placed end to end, they would stretch around the earth 47 times&#8230; Cells work to keep us healthy and alive.&#8221; Each cell can be compared to a home and family with its own set of roles and responsibilities.</p>
<p>&#8220;So what? Now what?&#8221; you may ask. When it comes to your health, an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. Rest assured that unless you are proactive with biointerventions, you have a civil war going on within your body among your 10 million cells and your heading much more rapidly toward the disability zone.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://wellness777.com/images/pp/disability-zone_540w.png" alt="The Disability Zone" width="540" height="221" /></p>
<p>On Wed April 1, Jerry Graham (Ph.D.), Sharon Graham (R.N.), and I (M.D.) hosted our first public Wellness webinar to announce our new <a rel="nofollow" href="http://wellness777.com/book1">Wellness e-book</a> and course. That was a huge breakthrough, at least two years in the making. Already more than 25 people have downloaded our <a rel="nofollow" href="http://wellness777.com/freebook/" target="_blank">Free Chapter 1</a> and several people have bought the complete book. And that&#8217;s before the book was aggressively marketed. Today we are letting about 2-4 thousand people in our combined email networks know about the opportunity. In the next two weeks, I&#8217;m planning a major national press release to open doors for radio and TV interviews.</p>
<p>Because it was my responsibility to edit and publish the Camtasia videos for our 7 recorded Wellness webinars, I listened to each of the 7 webinars (audio files) about 2-3 times. Without a doubt, this is by far the best and most comprehensive teaching on Wellness I have ever heard in my entire medical career. And among physicians I had a much greater passion for Wellness than most of them.</p>
<p>Jerry, Sharon, and I were initially planning to offer a 50% sale on our Wellness book (and 7 audio files) through April 8, but because of several unforeseen delays and Holy Week, we have extended this sale through tomorrow (April 15 = tax day).</p>
<p>We guarantee this book will change your life (wellness) if you read and apply what is taught or we will refund your money. And by sharing with others, you will impact the wellness of your family and friends as well. In my opinion as a physician, this book is the best preventive resource I have ever come across.</p>
<p>Let me put this opportunity in perspective financially.</p>
<p>1) For the price of a meal out with your family, you can own one of the most comprehensive and trustworthy Wellness resources on the planet.</p>
<p>2) The full price of the book is less than the cost of a routine dental visit.</p>
<p>3) If you came to see me as an anesthesiologist in a hospital setting, you (or your insurance company) would be billed about $200 per hour and your life would not be transformed.</p>
<p>4) According to the National Coalition on Health Care [http://www.nchc.org/facts/cost.shtml], &#8220;The annual premium for an employer health plan covering a family of four averaged nearly $12,700. The annual premium for single coverage averaged over $4,700.&#8221; And none or almost none of this money spent is focused on prevention.</p>
<p>Today you have a choice. What will it be?<br />
Transformation requires action. Will you act? If so, when?</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
<span style="color: #ff6600;">Heavenly Father, we praise you as the Supreme physician. &#8220;Experts agree that our health care system is riddled with inefficiencies, excessive administrative expenses, inflated prices, poor management, and inappropriate care, waste and fraud.&#8221; May You speak Spirit to spirit to those who read this message about the uncommon opportunity placed before them. Bless them with the Shalom of God. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen and hallelujah!</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font color="#ff0000">The secret of MY future is hidden in my daily routine!</font></p>
<p><font color="#0000ff">but exhort one another DAILY (Hebrews 3:13a)</font></p>
<p><font color="#008000">What would a healthy daily routine look like to you?<br />
Have you written that down?</font></p>
<p>Yesterday&#8217;s webinar (web seminar) with Rev. Ron Davidson was awesome. What he had to share spoke so strongly to my spirit. Several times while Ron was sharing, my eyes flooded with tears. Ron has the heart of Jesus to serve the poor. While the group attending this webinar was quite small, every person was deeply impacted by what Ron had to say based on survey results. Every attendee made a commitment to make a donation to Gleaning for the World to benefit Operation Rescue Liberia.</p>
<p>Ron says, “A vision is not a business plan. In fact most visions if written as a business plan would not make sense. A vision is from God for the purpose of reaching people with Gods love so God’s receives the glory. A vision is not normal and is uncommon.” That message really spoke to me since my growth goal for my current Implementation coaching course is to develop a business plan for my web company.</p>
<p>Last night I went to bed at 10:30 PM and set my PDA alarm for 5:55 AM. Wouldn’t you know it, the Holy Spirit woke me up at 5:54 AM to formally begin my morning quiet time. This was less than one minute before my alarm went off. Mind you, it was dark and I had no clue what time it was.</p>
<p>While lying in bed and listening to my scheduled iTunes playlist for the day, the Holy Spirit gave me an instruction to make a slight but profound change to the wording for the gorgeous poster image on my computer desktop. JJ Phillips, my anointed graphics artist, designed that.</p>
<p>What was this profound yet simple change in wording? &#8220;The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine!&#8221; became &#8220;The secret of my future is hidden in my daily routine!&#8221; While this may seem insignificant to many people, the change was huge because the message became personal and I see it every day when I come to my computer. The Holy Spirit made it crystal clear to me that my simple desktop image and scripture is His business plan for me. To see this gorgeous custom image, visit today&#8217;s Link of the Day.</p>
<p>God has given me a huge vision and I won&#8217;t fulfill it by planning in detail. The Holy Spirit refuses to be put in a box. He&#8217;s much too great for that.</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
</strong><font color="#ff6600">O Holy Spirit, soul of my soul, I do adore thee. Thank You for enlightening, guiding, strengthening, and consoling me. Open the eyes of my readers today, speaking to them Spirit to spirit, to have them understand and apply today&#8217;s message to their own lives. Thank You Jesus, my King and my Redeemer! Amen and Hallelujah!</font></p>

<p>Blessings to be men and women of &#8220;every day&#8221; like Dr. Jerry Falwell was!</p>

<p align="center"><font color="#0000ff">Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.<br />

<p><font color="#0000ff">&#8220;Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works&#8221; (Revelation 2:4-5)</font></p>
<p><font color="#008000">Who is your first love?<br />
How can others tell?</font></p>
<p>During the worship service at Soul Purpose Church on Sunday morning February 10, Mike Webb shared Jesus&#8217; 3 R&#8217;s for Valentine&#8217;s Day. Those really hit home for me. Here they are:</p>
<p>1) Remember from where you have fallen<br />
2) Repent of your wrong attitudes<br />
3) Redo the first works</p>
<p>While preparing today’s devotional, I came across this outstanding excerpt from the foreword of Tony Evan&#8217;s e-book &#8220;Returning to Your First Love&#8221;:</p>
<p>If the Lord Jesus Christ were to come to your house or mine and sit down with us, what do you think He would say? I believe one of the first things He would ask is, &#8220;Do you love Me?&#8221; That&#8217;s the question the resurrected Christ asked Simon Peter three times at their seaside breakfast (John 21:15-17). Peter had denied the Lord at His crucifixion, and he needed to be restored.</p>
<p>Jesus undertook that restoration by bringing Simon back to the basic issue: &#8220;Do you love Me?&#8221; The Savior wasn&#8217;t satisfied until He had zeroed in on the issue of Peter’s love for Him and gotten the right answer. Only then did Jesus release Peter for ministry: &#8220;Feed My sheep.&#8221;</p>
<p>The lesson Jesus taught Peter &#8211; and the lesson the Holy Spirit wants to teach us &#8211; in this marvelous passage is the fundamental lesson that devotion precedes duty. One reason this is important is that we so often get the order reversed.</p>
<p>If we had been in Jesus? place that day by the seashore, most of us would have asked Simon Peter an entirely different set of questions. We probably would have asked him if he was truly sorry for what he did in denying Christ, and if he had confessed his sin and been forgiven.</p>
<p>Or we might have started off by asking Peter if he was still serious about being a disciple, if he still wanted to be a member of the team. The more devotionally minded among us would have quizzed Peter about his personal life, making sure he was spending time daily in prayer and study of the Scriptures.</p>
<p>And the service minded among us would probably have made sure Peter knew what his spiritual gifts were and was plugged into a ministry in which he was exercising those gifts.</p>
<p>But Jesus did not ask Peter about any of these things. Did Jesus not care about Peter’s spiritual condition and future service? Of course He did. But Jesus knew that unless Peter&#8217;s service was motivated by intense love for Him, it would lead to duty without devotion, practice without passion.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s also true for you and me, by the way. Our love for Christ is so foundational that Jesus Himself called it our &#8220;first love&#8221; in Revelation 2:4.</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
</strong><font color="#ff6600">Jesus, thank You for dying for me and forgiving all my sins. Thank You for delivering me from a messed up life. May I never forget my first love. To You be all glory, honor, and praise, now and forever. Amen.</font></p>

<p><font color="#008000">Are you struggling with an addiction of any kind?<br />

How does one overcome a severe addiction?</font></p>
<p>For more than a year, I&#8217;ve been sharing an uncommon revelation from the Holy Spirit that the Internet is God&#8217;s supernatural highway of communication. I experienced this first hand as my own spiritual journey to salvation was closely tied to the web.</p>
<p>In yesterday devotional, I shared how God shouted to me &#8220;put away the evil&#8221; while I was &#8220;doing the dew&#8221; on the morning of Feb 10 and then Pastor Matt preached a corresponding outstanding message titled &#8220;Why Everyone Needs Negative Friends.&#8221; During Matt’s sermon, Lynndey Reid came on stage to share her personal testimony of how God helped her overcome a severe addiction. As Lynndey authentically shared her powerful story of God&#8217;s grace and mercy, my eyes flooded with tears. Here is an excerpt from the end of Lynndey&#8217;s testimony:</p>
<p>&#8220;We knew we couldn’t fix ourselves and the only one that could restore us as individuals and our marriage &amp; family was the Lord.  We came back in October 2006 determined to recommit our lives to the Lord.  In January we both started attending Life Groups – we knew we needed to connect with other believers.  We were still struggling with the alcohol but the Lord is so gracious.  Because we turned back to Him, He met us every step of the way.  We became desperate to get rid of the control that alcohol had over our lives.</p>
<p>We missed one Sunday when Randy Peck shared, but we listened to the MP3 message [downloaded from the web]. We ended up listening to it three times and all we heard was the power of prayer, fasting, and studying the Word.  We fasted for our first time the next Friday which ended up being our first Friday in 3 years without alcohol.  During that day we didn’t feel like anything was happening, but the Lord moved &#8211; and broke the chains of addiction in our lives.  Drinking was once the focus of our lives but Praise God it no longer has control over us.</p>
<p>James 5:19 says:<br />
Brethren if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.</p>
<p>If you have a friend who is wandering &#8211; don’t shy away from speaking the truth of God’s love into their lives &amp; praying for them.  Also, we never know where someone is when they come through the church doors.  They may be like Chris &amp; I were – at the end of their rope.  You welcomed us and we can’t thank you enough.  Let us always be a body of believers with the arms of Jesus open wide.&#8221;</p>
<p>To read and listen to the rest of this powerful story of a changed life, visit today&#8217;s Link of the Day. There is tremendous power and blessing in sharing personal testimonies of redemption through Jesus Christ.</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
</strong><font color="#ff6600">Most gracious and merciful Father, thank You for delivering Lynndey and Chris from their addiction problems. Bless and protect that family LORD. Thank You for Lynndey&#8217;s willingness to share her testimony in such a transparent way. Multiply her story through the web to help deliver hundreds and even thousands of people from their addictions. Thank You Jesus, our Deliver, who does exceeding abundantly above and beyond what we can think or imagine. Blessed be the LORD forever, He who gives His people rest. Amen and Hallelujah!</font></p>

<p><font color="#008000">Are you running on empty?<br />
How can you best refresh your body and spirit?</font></p>
<p>On January 30, I received a high priority email from Anne Alder titled &#8220;I Will Be As The Dew Unto Israel.&#8221; This email particularly caught my attention because Anne is a faithful servant of Jesus, looks out for me, and rarely sends me any emails as high priority. Meditating on her email led me to spend the first 3 hours of my morning on Feb 1 &#8220;doing the dew.&#8221; That led to an awesome and creative day of work for my team of four working in my home. Here is what Anne shared:</p>
<p>Randy</p>
<p>This is from my STREAMS IN THE DESERT devotional. Thought you would be blessed.</p>
<p>The dew is a source of freshness. It is nature’s provision for renewing the face of the earth.  It falls at night, and without it the vegetation would die.  It is this great value of the dew which is so often recognized in the Scriptures. It is used as the symbol of spiritual refreshing.  Just as nature is bathed in dew, so the Lord renews His people.  In Titus 3:5 the same thought of spiritual refreshing is connected with the ministry of the Holy Spirit &#8211; “renewing the Holy Ghost.”</p>
<p>Many Christian workers do not recognize the importance of the heavenly dew in their lives, and as a result they lack freshness and vigor.  Their spirits are drooping for lack of dew.</p>
<p>Beloved, fellow-worker, you recognize the folly of a laboring man attempting to do his day’s work without eating.  Do you recognize the folly of a servant of God attempting to minister without eating of the heavenly manna?  Nor will it suffice to have spiritual nourishment occasionally.  Every day you must receive the renewing of the Holy Ghost.  You know when your whole being is pulsating with the vigor and freshness of divine life and when you feel jaded and worn. Quietness and absorption bring the dew.  At night when the leaf and blade are still, the vegetable pores are open to receive the refreshing and invigorating bath; so spiritual dew comes from quiet lingering in the Master’s presence.  Get still before Him.  Haste will prevent your receiving the dew.  Wait before God until you feel saturated with His presence; then go forth to you next duty with the conscious freshness and vigor of Christ. &#8211; DR. PARDINGTON</p>
<p>Dew will never gather while there is either heat or wind.  The temperature must fall, and the winds cease, and the air come to a point of coolness and rest &#8211; absolute rest, so to speak &#8211; before it can yield up its invisible particles of moisture to bedew either herb or flower.  So the grace of God does not come forth to rest the soul of man until the still point is fairly and fully reached.</p>
<p>DROP THY STILL DEWS OF QUIETNESS.<br />
TILL ALL OUR STRIVINGS CEASE:<br />
TAKE FROM OUR SOULS THE STRAIN AND STRESS.<br />
AND LET OUR ORDERED LIVES CONFESS<br />
THE BEAUTY OF THY PEACE.</p>
<p>BREATHE THROUGH THE PULSES OF DESIRE<br />
THEY COOLNESS AND THY BALM;<br />
LET SENSE BY DUMB, ITS BEATS EXPIRE;<br />
SPEAK THROUGH THE EARTHQUAKE, WIND AND FIRE,<br />
O STILL SMALL VOICE OF CALM!</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
</strong><font color="#ff6600">Heavenly Father, thank You for Anne Alder and her incredible heart for You. Thank You for friends like this who pray for me. Bless Anne beyond her wildest imagination in 2008. Open the flood gates of heaven for Anne that she does not have enough room to store all of Your blessings. May we become partners in Your billion soul vision. Thank You Jesus for being my Rock. I love You so much. Amen and hallelujah. Praise be to God!</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">“Christianity must evoke from the believer the same response it drew from the first disciples: a passionate desire to obey God &#8211; a willingly entered-into discipline. That is the beginning of true discipleship. That is the beginning of loving God”</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">“Now the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will personally RESTORE, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little. To Him be the dominion forever. Amen.  (1 Peter 5:10-11)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">In what areas of your life do you need restoration?<br />
How might Life Focus coaching help in that process?</span></p>
<p>Yesterday morning I completed and posted my devotional titled “New Beginnings in 2008&#8243; shortly after 9 AM. In less than an hour, I had confirmation from the Holy Spirit that  two key words for 2008 are convergence and restoration. Here is what Virginia Morton, the quarterback for our Pray Culpeper team, shared in her email to me:</p>
<p>Dear Randy,</p>
<p>I was just out walking and praying, and came inside to discover your devotional. Bingo! I’ve been seeking the Lord’s word for 2008. Just before Christmas I was walking on a clear day and jet trails were all across the sky. Normally they run parallel. But that day two bold steams of white converged over my head. It was in the secluded spot where I hear the Lord most clearly. I knew this was a message of convergence. I kept studying the sky and I counted at least 8 convergences of these jet trails, which is very unusual. Therefore I felt convergence was the key word for 2008.</p>
<p>But I’ve also been hearing restoration a lot. This morning I was reading my Bible and the passage that jumped out for me was:</p>
<p>“Now the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will personally RESTORE, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little. To Him be the dominion forever. Amen.  (1 Peter 5:10-11)</p>
<p>Therefore I feel my two key words for 2008 are convergence and restoration. Then God confirmed it by giving you the same words! His wisdom is infinite and all glory to Him! Perhaps He is telling us that through convergence He will restore that which the enemy has stolen.</p>
<p>Thank you for your support and blessing for Sam Reeves (Operation Rescue Liberia). He is so excited at what the Lord is doing.</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
</strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Heavenly Father, I praise You as the God of restoration. I gladly submit my plans and goals to You this year and ask You to restore all that has been lost. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in my life, my family, my home, my work, my ministry, and in Culpeper. Raise a new standard of excellence and obedience to change the world. Thank You Jesus. Amen and hallelujah!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Sin is like a roller coaster ride. Once you get on, there&#8217;s no getting off until the ride is over.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. (1 Corinthians 6:18)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">What does God consider sexually immoral?</span></p>
<p>In chapter 24 of The Power of a Praying Parent titled &#8220;Rejecting Sexual Immorality,&#8221; Stormie Omartian says, &#8220;Next to catastrophic injury, death, and eternal hell, sexual immorality is the most dreaded possibility for our children’s lives. That’s because the results of sexual sin last a lifetime &#8211; often for the parents as well as the child. Words like “abortion,” “out-of-wedlock,” “infidelity,” “homosexuality,” “sexually transmitted disease,” and “AIDS” all make a parent shudder. And today, more than ever before, this is a life-and-death issue.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bill Clinton originally denied that he had any sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky. When DNA proof uncovered his lie, he tried to explain his way out by saying that what he was doing with Monica was not sex. One lie often leads to another. That&#8217;s the way any type of sin is &#8211; a roller coaster ride.</p>
<p>What is sexual immorality?<br />
What constitutes sex?<br />
How far is too far?<br />
What does it mean to flee sexual immorality?<br />
What is God&#8217;s perspective on sex outside of marriage?</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power</strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff6600;">Heavenly Father, You know that sexual immorality is rampant in our nation. There&#8217;s little difference between Your children and the children of this world. The devastation this is having to the tradition family is overwhelming. You say, &#8220;He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.” I pray for a true spirit of repentance in the Body of Christ. Only You can turn the hearts of Your people back to You. We ask You to do that. In Jesus preciously and holy name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p>Blessings to flee sexual immorality and encourage others to do likewise!</p>
