This is the line of Noah. Noah was a righteous man; he was blameless in his age; Noah walked with God. Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.The earth became corrupt before God; the earth was filled with lawlessness. When God saw how corrupt the earth was, for all flesh had corrupted its ways on earth, God said to Noah, "I have decided to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with lawlessness because of them: I am about to destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make it an ark with compartments, and cover it inside and out with pitch. This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. Make an opening for daylight in the ark, and terminate it within a cubit of the top. Put the entrance to the ark in its side; make it with bottom, second, and third decks. "For My part, I am about to bring the Flood--waters upon the earth--to destroy all flesh under the sky in which there is breath of life; everything on earth shall perish. But I will establish My covenant with you, and you shall enter the ark, with your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives. And of all that lives, of all flesh, you shall take two of each into the ark to keep alive with you; they shall be male and female. From birds of every kind, cattle of every kind, every kind of creeping thing on earth, two of each shall come to you to stay alive. For your part, take of everything that is eaten and store it away, to serve as food for you and for them." Noah did so; just as God commanded him, so he did.Then the Lord said to Noah, "Go into the ark, with all your household, for you alone have I found righteous before Me in this generation. Of every clean animal you shall take seven pairs, males and their mates, and of every animal that is not clean, two, a male and its mate; of the birds of the sky also, seven pairs, male and female, to keep seed alive upon all the earth. For in seven days' time I will make it rain upon the earth, forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out from the earth all existence that I created." And Noah did just as the Lord commanded him.
Noah was six hundred years old when the Flood came, waters upon the earth. Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the Flood. Of the clean animals, of the animals that are not clean, of the birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, two of each, male and female, came to Noah into the ark, as God had commanded Noah. And on the seventh day the waters of the Flood came upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day All the fountains of the great deep burst apart,
And the floodgates of the sky broke open. (The rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.) That same day Noah and Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, went into the ark, with Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons--they and all beasts of every kind, all cattle of every kind, all creatures of every kind that creep on the earth, and all birds of every kind, every bird, every winged thing. They came to Noah into the ark, two each of all flesh in which there was breath of life. Thus they that entered comprised male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And the Lord shut him in.The Flood continued forty days on the earth, and the waters increased and raised the ark so that it rose above the earth. The waters swelled and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark drifted upon the waters. When the waters had swelled much more upon the earth, all the highest mountains everywhere under the sky were covered. Fifteen cubits higher did the waters swell, as the mountains were covered. And all flesh that stirred on earth perished--birds, cattle, beasts, and all the things that swarmed upon the earth, and all mankind. All in whose nostrils was the merest breath of life, all that was on dry land, died. All existence on earth was blotted out--man, cattle, creeping things, and birds of the sky; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. And when the waters had swelled on the earth one hundred and fifty days, God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark, and God caused a wind to blow across the earth, and the waters subsided. The fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were stopped up, and the rain from the sky was held back; the waters then receded steadily from the earth. At the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters diminished, so that in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. The waters went on diminishing until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made and sent out the raven; it went to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth. Then he sent out the dove to see whether the waters had decreased from the surface of the ground. But the dove could not find a resting place for its foot, and returned to him to the ark, for there was water over all the earth. So putting out his hand, he took it into the ark with him. He waited another seven days, and again sent out the dove from the ark. The dove came back to him toward evening, and there in its bill was a plucked-off olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the waters had decreased on the earth. He waited still another seven days and sent the dove forth; and it did not return to him any more. In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the waters began to dry from the earth; and when Noah removed the covering of the ark, he saw that the surface of the ground was drying. And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. God spoke to Noah, saying, "Come out of the ark, together with your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives. Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds, animals, and everything that creeps on earth; and let them swarm on the earth and be fertile and increase on earth." So Noah came out, together with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives. Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that stirs on earth came out of the ark by families. Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking of every clean animal and of every clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar. The Lord smelled the pleasing odor, and the Lord said to Himself: "Never again will I doom the earth because of man, since the devisings of man's mind are evil from his youth; nor will I ever again destroy every living being, as I have done.So long as the earth endures,Seedtime and harvest,Cold and heat,Summer and winter,Day and night Shall not cease." God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fertile and increase, and fill the earth. The fear and the dread of you shall be upon all the beasts of the earth and upon all the birds of the sky--everything with which the earth is astir--and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hand. Every creature that lives shall be yours to eat; as with the green grasses, I give you all these. You must not, however, eat flesh with its life-blood in it. But for your own life-blood I will require a reckoning: I will require it of every beast; of man, too, will I require a reckoning for human life, of every man for that of his fellow man! Whoever sheds the blood of man,By man shall his blood be shed;For in His image. Did God make man.Be fertile, then, and increase; abound on the earth and increase on it." And God said to Noah and to his sons with him, "I now establish My covenant with you and your offspring to come, and with every living thing that is with you--birds, cattle, and every wild beast as well--all that have come out of the ark, every living thing on earth. I will maintain My covenant with you: never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." God further said, "This is the sign that I set for the covenant between Me and you, and every living creature with you, for all ages to come. I have set My bow in the clouds, and it shall serve as a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds, I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature among all flesh, so that the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures, all flesh that is on earth. That," God said to Noah, "shall be the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and all flesh that is on earth." The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth--Ham being the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole world branched out.Noah, the tiller of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard. He drank of the wine and became drunk, and he uncovered himself within his tent. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took a cloth, placed it against both their backs and, walking backward, they covered their father's nakedness; their faces were turned the other way, so that they did not see their father's nakedness.
When Noah woke up from his wine and learned what his youngest son had done to him, he said,"Cursed be Canaan;The lowest of slaves Shall he be to his brothers." And he said,"Blessed be the Lord,The God of Shem;Let Canaan be a slave to them.May God enlarge Japheth,And let him dwell in the tents of Shem;And let Canaan be a slave to them." Noah lived after the Flood 350 years. And all the days of Noah came to 950 years; then he died. These are the lines of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah: sons were born to them after the Flood. The descendants of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The descendants of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. The descendants of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and the Dodanim. From these the maritime nations branched out. [These are the descendants of Japheth] by their lands--each with its language--their clans and their nations.The descendants of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. The descendants of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. Cush also begot Nimrod, who was the first man of might on earth. He was a mighty hunter by the grace of the Lord; hence the saying, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter by the grace of the Lord." The mainstays of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar. From that land Asshur went forth and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, that is the great city. And Mizraim begot the Ludim, the Anamim, the Lehabim, the Naphtuhim, the Pathrusim, the Casluhim, and the Caphtorim, whence the Philistines came forth. Canaan begot Sidon, his first-born, and Heth; and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites spread out. (The [original] Canaanite territory extended from Sidon as far as Gerar, near Gaza, and as far as Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, near Lasha.) These are the descendants of Ham, according to their clans and languages, by their lands and nations. Sons were also born to Shem, ancestor of all the descendants of Eber and older brother of Japheth. The descendants of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. The descendants of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. Arpachshad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber. Two sons were born to Eber: the name of the first was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and the name of his brother was Joktan. Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the descendants of Joktan. Their settlements extended from Mesha as far as Sephar, the hill country to the east. These are the descendants of Shem according to their clans and languages, by their lands, according to their nations.Everyone on earth had the same language and the same words. And as they migrated from the east, they came upon a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there. They said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and burn them hard." Brick served them as stone, and bitumen served them as mortar. And they said, "Come, let us build us a city, and a tower with its top in the sky, to make a name for ourselves; else we shall be scattered all over the world." The Lord came down to look at the city and tower that man had built, and the Lord said, "If, as one people with one language for all, this is how they have begun to act, then nothing that they may propose to do will be out of their reach. Let us, then, go down and confound their speech there, so that they shall not understand one another's speech." Thus the Lord scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.
That is why it was called Babel, because there the Lord confounded the speech of the whole earth; and from there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.This is the line of Shem. Shem was 100 years old when he begot Arpachshad, two years after the Flood. After the birth of Arpachshad, Shem lived 500 years and begot sons and daughters.When Arpachshad had lived 35 years, he begot Shelah. After the birth of Shelah, Arpachshad lived 403 years and begot sons and daughters. When Shelah had lived 30 years, he begot Eber. After the birth of Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and begot sons and daughters. When Eber had lived 34 years, he begot Peleg. After the birth of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and begot sons and daughters. When Peleg had lived 30 years, he begot Reu. After the birth of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and begot sons and daughters.When Reu had lived 32 years, he begot Serug. After the birth of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and begot sons and daughters. When Serug had lived 30 years, he begot Nahor. After the birth of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and begot sons and daughters. When Nahor had lived 29 years, he begot Terah. After the birth of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and begot sons and daughters. When Terah had lived 70 years, he begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Now this is the line of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot. Haran died in the lifetime of his father Terah, in his native land, Ur of the Chaldeans. Abram and Nahor took to themselves wives, the name of Abram's wife being Sarai and that of Nahor's wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and Iscah. Now Sarai was barren, she had no child. Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and they set out together from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan; but when they had come as far as Haran, they settled there. The days of Terah came to 205 years; and Terah died in Haran.

REMEMBER TO READ YOUR KJV

To Some he is a doctor;
to others he is a worker of miracles;
to others he is the should they cry on;
to others he is the one who offers the last prayer for them before leaving this world;
to others he is the prayer visit that comes when they are in jail:
to others it is he that cloths them;
He is one who is there for them in the cold and the dark who works and seems to never tire, he feeds and cleans up after them and shows them the way to the light, to him it is the natural thing to do you see he is the shepard better known as a pastor, a servant, in him in his service they see that Messiah loves them...........
1 Corinthians 9:12 Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. 13Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? 14Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
15But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 16For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. 18What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
19For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 20And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 21To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 22To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
24Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. In His Service, Pastor Dan

MISSION UPDATE:

Psalms 12:1 - Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. Isaiah 25:1 - O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. Mark 11:22 - And Yeshua answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Luke 16:10 - He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Luke 18:8 - I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Romans 1:17 - For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 2 Corinthians 5:7 - (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Shalom in Yeshua Messiah & ALL Praise be UNTO HIM!amen!
{ OK here I go again! Early this morning I typed a really nice update an thought for sure I posted it but for whatever reason it never went anywhere? it disappeared :( so here goes I'll try again.}

As most of you know Pastor Dan has been stayin at the Mission running as over flow since the 21st. We have seen many struggling to feed their families an the last count for food boxes this month was 58. I told my helper last Friday that I had no food for food boxes but take names and I'll see what I can put together after we feed. The Father showed me what to put into 23 boxes as well as 3 more for the following morning. I learned that if Yahweh sends someone for food I have the food there to feed them NO MATTER what kind of food it is IT IS THERE or on the way. I made for dinner baked chicken breast, macaroni salad,greenbeans and pumpkin pie that served 80 plates. We made ten more plates of food even after the chicken was gone for a total of 90. The count has now trippled in the amount of people we serve on any given day with the norm now being any where from 60 to 75 or more. Food boxes has risen to ten or more and like I said last Sabbath 26.

We now have the paperwork to apply for FREE FOOD so PLEASE lift this in your prayers that Yahweh find favor in this program and allow us to be a part of it. It's all about serving the people, doing Yahweh's WILL and Staying within IT. I now have the money to pay the food bank bill that climbed to 447.40 this month but there were countless blessings in everyone of those orders picked up. When I wrote my update this morning I spoke of this need but you see Yahweh had already takin care of it even before I ever typed it. I was also able to restock the Mission a little ( well Dan did the labor I made the call to him LOL) and pay the rest of oct bills. Tomorrow after I go to the bank I will pay a few of the November bills that are already in. I just figured every bill I have right now to pay and I'm short by 1270.71 to pay everything due up to November 10th. The radio needs paid again 200.00 and the newsletter needs to go out next week 380.00. We still need gas for the children and I to get to the Mission on Friday but I have my gas for tomorrow.

We could use eggs I use 13 to 15 dozen eggs everyday we open. I also need vegetables, pasta, salt an pepper for the tables, hot sauce, napkins, disinfectant sprays, toliet tissue and 13 & 39 gal trash bags. The clothes room is near empty an we need warm clothing, coats, stocking hats & gloves. I could also use foods for food boxes, travel size soaps, shampoos, deoderants and combs.

Please keep this Ministry in Prayer ask Yahweh if your to help in any way. Be led by Him be His Servant and Do His works!

GET RIGHT WITH YAHWEH NOW there may not be time later!

I'll close for now THANKS to everyone who has Blessed this ministry there are so many needs and they just KEEP GROWING!

we love you sisterlinda,family & Messiah's Branch

A SMILE
A smile costs nothing ... but gives much. It enriches those who receive it without making poorer those who give it. It takes but a moment. However, the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it. And none is so poor that he can't be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in business... and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad. It is Nature's best antidote for trouble.
A smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen. It is something of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours. None needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.


Through the window

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.

The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. 'That laundry is not very clean', she said. 'She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap' Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Everytime her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments. About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: 'Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?' The husband said, 'I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows.'And so it is with life. What we see when watching others, depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
 

Now THIS is the Living Bible:
His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it,
jeans, and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for his entire four
years of college. He is brilliant. Kind of profound and very, very bright. He became a
Christian while attending college. Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, very conservative church. They want to develop a ministry to the students but are not sure
how to go about it. One day Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, jeans, his
T-shirt, and wild hair. The service has already started and so Bill starts
down the aisle looking for a seat. The church is completely packed and he can't find a seat. By now, people are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says anything.

Bill gets closer and closer and closer to the pulpit, and when he realizes
there are no seats, he just squats down right on the carpet. By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in the air is thick. About this time, the minister realizes that from way at the back of the church, a deacon is slowly making his way toward Bill. Now the deacon is in his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and a three-piece suit. A godly man, very elegant, very dignified, very courtly. He walks with a cane and, as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone is saying to themselves that you can't blame him for what he's going to do.
How can you expect a man of his age and of his background to understand
some college kid on the floor? It takes a long time for the man to reach the boy.
The church is utterly silent except for the clicking of the man's cane. All eyes are focused on him. You can't even hear anyone breathing. The minister can't even preach the sermon until the deacon does what he has to do. And now they see this elderly man drop his cane on the floor. With great difficulty, he lowers himself and sits down next t o Bill and worships with
him so he won't be alone. Everyone chokes up with emotion.
When the minister gains control, he says, 'What I'm about to preach, you will never remember. What you have just seen, you will never forget.' 'Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some people will ever read!'

I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today.
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way....
His love is always with you,
His promises are true,
And when we give Him all our cares,
You know He will see us through.



Shalom B'Shem Yeshua HaMashiach

Ve'Zot HaBracha "And this is the Blessing"

Deuteronomy 33:1-34:12

This is the blessing with which Moses, the man of God, bade the Israelites farewell before he died. He said: The Lord came from Sinai; He shone upon them from Seir; He appeared from Mount Paran, and approached from Ribeboth-kodesh, lightning flashing at them from His right. Lover, indeed, of the people, their hallowed are all in Your hand. They followed in Your steps, accepting Your pronouncements, when Moses charged us with the Teaching as the heritage of the congregation of Jacob. Then He became King in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people assembled, the tribes of Israel together. May Reuben live and not die, though few be his numbers. And this he said of Judah: Hear, O Lord the voice of Judah and restore him to his people. Though his own hands strive for him, help him against his foes. And of Levi he said: Let Your Thummim and Urim be with Your faithful one, whom You tested at Massah, challenged at the waters of Meribah; Who said of his father and mother, "I consider them not." His brothers he disregarded, ignored his own children Your precepts alone they observed, and kept Your covenant. They shall teach Your laws to Jacob and Your instructions to Israel. They shall offer You incense to savor and whole-offerings on Your altar. Bless, O Lord, his substance, and favor his undertakings. Smite the loins of his foes; let his enemies rise no more.

Of Benjamin he said: Beloved of the Lord, he rests securely beside Him; ever does He protect him, as he rests between His shoulders. And of Joseph he said: Blessed of the Lord be his land with the bounty of dew from heaven, and of the deep that couches below; with the bounteous yield of the sun, and the bounteous crop of the moons; with the best from the ancient mountains, and the bounty of hills immemorial; with the bounty of earth and its fullness, and the favor of the Presence in the Bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the elect of his brothers. Like a firstling bull in his majesty, he has horns like the horns of the wild-ox; with them he gores the peoples, the ends of the earth one and all. These are the myriads of Ephraim, those are the thousands of Manasseh. And of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, O Zebulun, on your journeys, and Issachar, in your tents. They invite their kin to the mountain, where they offer sacrifices of success. For they draw from the riches of the sea and the hidden hoards of the sand. And of Gad he said: Blessed be He who enlarges Gad! Poised is he like a lion to tear off arm and scalp. He chose for himself the best, for there is the portion of the revered chieftain, where the heads of the people come. He executed the Lord's judgments and His decisions for Israel. And of Dan he said: Dan is a lion's whelp that leaps forth from Bashan. And of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, sated with favor and full of the Lord's blessing, take possession on the west and south. And of Asher he said: Most blessed of sons be Asher; may he be the favorite of his brothers, may he dip his foot in oil. May your doorbolts be iron and copper, and your security last all your days. O Jeshurun, there is none like God, riding through the heavens to help you, through the skies in His majesty. The ancient God is a refuge, a support are the arms everlasting. He drove out the enemy before you by His command: Destroy! Thus Israel dwells in safety, untroubled is Jacob's abode, in a land of grain and wine, under heavens dripping dew. O happy Israel! Who is like you, a people delivered by the Lord, your protecting Shield, your Sword triumphant! Your enemies shall come cringing before you, and you shall tread on their backs. Moses went up from the steppes of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the summit of Pisgah, opposite Jericho, and the Lord showed him the whole land: Gilead as far as Dan; all Naphtali; the land of Ephraim and Manasseh; the whole land of Judah as far as the Western Sea; the Negeb; and the Plain--the Valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees--as far as Zoar. And the Lord said to him, "This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, 'I will assign it to your offspring.' I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you shall not cross there." So Moses the servant of the Lord died there, in the land of Moab, at the command of the Lord. He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, near Beth-peor; and no one knows his burial place to this day. Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eyes were undimmed and his vigor unabated. And the Israelites bewailed Moses in the steppes of Moab for thirty days. The period of wailing and mourning for Moses came to an end. Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the Israelites heeded him, doing as the Lord had commanded Moses. Never again did there arise in Israel a prophet like Moses--whom the Lord singled out, face to face, for the various signs and portents that the Lord sent him to display in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his courtiers and his whole country, and for all the great might and awesome power that Moses displayed before all Israel.

TABERNACLES A TIME OF PEACE, LOVE, AND FAMILY

Imagine the following scenario. One cool October afternoon, a religious man goes to visit his Torah observant therapist to discuss his many stresses. He is uneasy with his material lot, and feels the strain of keeping up with all of the proverbial Goldbergs in his life. It troubles him to see others in his community who live in larger, more beautiful homes, drive fancier cars, and go on more elaborate vacations. He is pained to see the names of these same people appear on dedication plaques and as dinner honorees, while he can barely eke out a small contribution. The therapist listens closely. After much thought and reflection, he directs his suffering client, not to medication or further counseling, but to a Sukkah. "There", he says, "you will find relief from your troubles." One could envision the confused and troubled look on the face of the client, especially after he receives his bill! Yet, that is exactly one of Hashem's primary remedies to such feelings of material inadequacy. Every evening during Maariv we ask Hashem to "spread upon us your Sukkah of peace." One might wonder, what is the relationship between the Sukkah and peace? We understand that the act of sitting (and even sleeping) in a Sukkah evokes memories of Hashem's miraculous preservation of the Jewish people during their forty years of wandering in the Sinai desert following their exodus from Egypt. You shall dwell in Succos (booths) for seven days…so that your generations will know that I made the people of Israel to dwell in Succos, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. (Leviticus 23:42-43) But how does such commemoration bring us to a deeper sense of peace and tranquility? In truth, there is much more to the mitzvah of Sukkah than a simple historical commemoration. Sitting in the Sukkah affords us the opportunity to take a step back from the competitive rat race in which we live, and come to a fuller and more accurate understanding of what this world is really all about.

Never has this been truer than in our times. Our world is that of Madison Avenue, where the marketing of luxury products continues unabated, echoing one basic message: Without this, your life is incomplete. Of course, depending on the target audience, "this" may refer to anything from toys and dolls (American Girl, mind you), to designer clothing, to oversized houses with granite backsplashes, as well as sleek sports cars which can go from "0 to 60" in 0.2 seconds. In such a world, a person who lacks any – or certainly all – of these comforts simply cannot find satisfaction. (Of course, we know that even those who are able to acquire these items are typically far from satisfied, as their attention is soon drawn to a new line of the "latest and greatest".) On Succos, we leave the comforts of our materialistic existence behind and enter a simple structure called a Sukkah. There we are to remain for seven days, living directly under Hashem's protection without concern for our worldly comforts. The Sukkah is the great equalizer. It is there that we turn our attention away from materialistic pursuits. Instead, we gaze up at the sky above us and come to a deeper appreciation that Hashem runs the world and that only He can and does provide for us.
The Sukkah reminds us that there is no physical permanence for us in this world, that all efforts at achieving materialism are fleeting and wasteful. In the words of the wisest of all men, King Solomon, "vanity of vanities…all is vanity." (Ecclesiastes 1:2) It is for this exact reason that we read these words on Succos. That, says Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler (Michtav M'Eliyahu, Vol. 1, pp. 106ff), is how a Sukkah can bring a sense of peace to man. Peace, he says, can only exist when each person is satisfied with his lot, and does not view others as being his personal competition. Once we have been redirected away from our materialistic urges and our competitive sense has been removed, we can work together harmoniously for the common good, perfectly at ease with one another.

It should thus come as no surprise that the clouds of glory which protected the Jewish nation during their long trek through the desert were bestowed to the people in the personal merit of Aharon Hakohen (see Leviticus Rabbah 27:6, et al). Aharon was the quintessential "pursuer of peace" (Hillel used to say, 'Be of the students of Aharon, loving peace and pursuing peace.' – Avos 1:12). What is perhaps even more compelling is the fact that, according to one opinion in the Mishna (Sukkah 11b), the "Sukkah" to which the Torah refers was not an actual booth, but was clouds themselves. Thus, the defining characteristic of Aharon Hakohen, peace and contentment, emerges every time we sit in the structure that his merits inspired! While it is still unlikely that the above explanation would bring solace to our incredulous patient, it should be comforting to us, particularly in the tumultuous times in which we live, to know that we can enter our own "Sukkah of peace", which will bring us the deep sense of contentment that we all so desperately seek.

Mission Updates: Today I confirmed that we would get blankets tomorrow, I had no money for gas in the bus to retrieve those blankets but someone dropped in today and gave me $200 as a donation. So tomorrow mom and my 19 year old son will go get the blankets for the all night overflow on Friday a test run for if the weather drops before the regular overflow opens. We saw a car yesterday a 1963 47,000 real miles on it a Chevy covair so we bought it, yes it was borrowed money but it will be cheap on gas and runs very good. Also because it is older we can work on it if need be. It is now tagged and we had to borrow $1,000 to get it running and buy it. We had to have something and I believe the Father will give me the money to pay back to pay this off. You know one thing I am looking forward to is seeing how prophets will use the line "The People prayed just as in Jonah's time so the destruction was put off" Or some really bad things will have to happen in two months...nuclear attacks, earthquakes, oh yes and total economic collapse...remember the test is if a prophet says something and it does not come true then we are not to fear him....yes sometimes I say things but I generally say thus saith "PD" For the record this country has not near repented enough to be saved from judgment. Of course, when that is not up to me. Yes I would be ready. I have been over the years buying up things to make my studio be able to record people on the phone, I bought I think more than I needed. A friend took it all home with him to work it out and will bring it back soon. That will mean more radio or at the least podcasts, also I think I found a way to record at the Wichita Mission. Back to the $200 it covered the trip tomorrow and parts I needed today so I am greatly thankful, I am sure that the Father will give us what we need for Friday. If anyone sends boxes etc to us as was asked ( mom will call you back tomorrow) by someone who called, mail it to Wichita as it is hard for the mail to catch us in Wichita and it is left outside it will be stolen. Lift us in prayer and see if you are led to help, oh yes my son says there may be hope for my wife's car he will again look at it. We do need help for Friday....

The LORD bless thee and keep thee;
The LORD make His face shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee;
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee,
and give thee shalom. (peace)

Left for October I have three small bills that will come due on the 18th an there is one due the 27th and 29th then October will be paid. To pay them all is about 325.00. The Lord provided the way for us to buy a 1963 Chevy Corvair Monza that has only 47000 original miles on it. The tires are all like new and it runs really smooth. I will be driving it tomorrow an it should be super on gas I'll let ya know. Please pray about supporting this ministry every bit of help we recieve is a REAL BLESSING!

I'm really tired so I'll close for now I have a big day ahead and I need to catch about three hours rest before we go. Tonight we will staying open for the people providing a loving family inviroment, giving out blankets and lots of love.

Haazinu

Haazinu means that we give ear or that we listen. It is the name given to the Song of Moses. In it, Moses was able to summarize over forty years of the history of the people of Israel so that future generations would never forget their history. Wouldn't it be wonderful if our nations' histories could be so encapsulated? This message goes all around the world; so what if the history of America, Columbia, Russia, the Ukraine, Greece and Australia could be in a song? It would make History one of the most popular classes in schools everywhere. But, although the ups and downs of the people was known, their lives did not reflect that they had learned their lessons very well. Indeed, the continuing history of the people after they entered the Land of Promise was one of more downs than ups! But that is for another time.
The opening stanza is one of praise and adoration. It begins with these words: "Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth. Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, as the droplets on the fresh grass and as the showers on the herb. For I proclaim the name of the L-rd; ascribe greatness to our G-d, the Rock! His work is perfect, for all His ways are just; a G-d of faithfulness and without injustice, righteous and upright is He." Then, the song begins a confession of corruption and of blemish in the children of the Perfect One. Verse six asks, "Is it to HaShem that you do this, O vile and unwise people?" Perhaps that is the understanding that we must take in regard to our sin. Is it to G-d that we twist the truth, that we disobey His Torah? "Is He not your Father?" asks the author. We are told to remember the days of yore and to ask our fathers and our elders of the past that He has delivered us through.
We have it made, we think; and so we go about our own ways. Verses 15 and following shows us that there really is nothing new under the sun. Ancient Israel was as perverse as we are today. But, at least they had a song to sing that declared their right way. Moses sung this song to all the people and then he taught it to Joshua so he could teach it throughout the following generation. He told them, "Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you shall command your sons to observe carefully, even all the words of this Torah." So he speaks to us today.
Then, in verses 48 through 52, G-d spoke directly to Moses, "HaShem told Moses that very same day, saying, 'Go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession. Then die on the mountain where you ascend, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel. For you shall see the land at a distance, but you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving the sons of Israel."
What did Moses do to deserve such harsh punishment? Most teachers insist that when he struck the rock at Meribah instead of speaking to it, he broke faith with G-d. Some even go so far as to correlate Y'shua as the Rock and say that Moses hit Jesus! Dear friends, hitting a rock is not a sin; but what Moses did was much worse that hitting a stone. Let's return to the place where this happened. It is found in Numbers 20: 6-13, where we read, "Then the glory of the L-rd appeared to them; and the L-rd spoke to Moses, saying, "Take the rod; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it may yield its water. You shall thus bring forth water for them out of the rock and let the congregation and their beasts drink." 9 So Moses took the rod from before the L-rd , just as He had commanded him; and Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock. And he said to them, " Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?" Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank. But the L-rd said to Moses and Aaron, " Because you have not believed Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."
What was the sin of Moses? Not that he struck the rock instead of speaking to it, but that he took the glory that belongs only to G-d. When he spoke to the people and said, "Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?" he put himself in the place of G-d, who alone could bring forth the water. I heard a preacher say many years ago, "a man of G-d dare not touch the gold, the girls or the glory." Moses touched the glory of G-d and for that, he sacrificed his inheritance. For what will we sacrifice ours?
Keep praying. Rabbi Marty
The Fall Feasts carry tremendous Biblical, historical, and cultural meaning for the Jewish people but also possess a wealth of value for all believers today. While the Spring Feasts pointed to the work of Yeshua (Jesus) in His first advent, the Fall Feasts point to the future work of Messiah Yeshua in His second advent. The crowning glory of the Fall Feasts is Sukkot, a "harvest festival", Also referred to as the "Feast of Tabernacles" or "Booths" and is best known for the temporary structures that Jewish people erect and serve holiday meals in during this week of thanksgiving and praise for Yahweh's provision.
Some call it "Jewish Thanksgiving", but it is probably more proper to call the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, "American Sukkot".

James 2:5

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

James 1:3

3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: 10But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
Greetings, I had about 10 coats, some sweaters, and a few other cold weather stuff come in from 35 miles away. I also had a clothing closet about full from another donation.....guess what it is all gone except a few items! Socks was given out I have a few left of course I need more cold meds as the ones I bought were almost all taken today.
On the Way here the van we had fixed the tyranny started slipping real bad I will be lucky to make it home, I barely have money to put gas in the bus as I will have to drive it and that's not good as it is not a highway vehicle. My daughter's car which they use to come to church on Fridays blew up last Friday so we are again down to the bus only!
I know He will lift me out but you see it's like this people say you go through a lot of cars & Vans, well people I do not think get I am poor so I have to buy junk! Mom's car that was taken to the shop told us it would cost more than the car is worth to fix.....but heh it lasted a few years...
Oh Well, Lift us in prayer and help if you can, In His Perfect Peace, Pastor Dan Catlin
How We Got Started

Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth

Greetings Saints,
Many of you do not know how I got started in feeding the homeless and poor. One night late after the Sabbath on the First Day of the Week (Sunday maybe 3 AM plus in the morning) the Lord would not let me rest. He" Kept telling me " you are going to be feeding the homeless" I laughed Lord I can hardly pay rent on our building in Wichita, how can I feed the Homeless. This was a big undertaking. He would not let me rest. Over And Over Feed My People; Finally It was brought to my mind and heart that the poor in Israel sit outside the shops on preparation day with baskets. As the Women go in to get what they need for Shabbat, They look down in the baskets and see what the poor lack. When they come out they add to the poor's baskets. "Could you not at least do as much; help with one meal a Sabbath meal?" Okay finally I said if you let me rest I would commit to it. I did on my Prophetic News Service saying our ministry would start providing a Sabbath meal for the Homeless. After that my Father let me rest. Not knowing how I was to do it. The next Tuesday I went to Wichita. Tuesday's has always been my one of my days for being there. I checked around not getting man answers from SRS and other agencies I checked with the Union Rescues Mission. They said that were two ladies in the park stealing their people. They were feeding over a hundred people a day. I knew this was where I was supposed to go. I headed over to the park that for years as long as I could remember it was called "Wino Park". I parked and walked into the Park there were the two ladies. They had just gotten done feeding the people. I felt a little taken back but I just walked up and said, " Do you need any help? The Father kept me up all night Sat. night telling me I was to help feed his people" One lady Granny, said that it was the same time she was prying for help. I told her I was unsure what I was going to be able to do but I felt that this was where I was supposed to be. They were feeding over a hundred people a day! I drove home praying and wondering how I was to help. This was July of 2000 and I did have some things I could take her. I drove home 60 miles and informed my wife sister Linda who helped me put together some things. I drove back over another 60 miles and went to Granny's home. Her and the other lady Janie was getting ready to go feed under a bridge. Two women going under a dark bridge to feed people? Did I want to go? Of course I went. I anointed with oil and prayed over two men that night I could not even see in the dark. Wow! Home I went and put the story out on the Internet, on our Prophetic News Service. Clearly I need help and a large confirmation as the Flesh is weak. I told the story that night. The day when I got up Steve Quayle who then had Safe trek foods was on my machine. I wondered what he wanted. Finally I answered the phone to him about 3 PM I think in the afternoon. I had told the Father I needed a big confirmation as I had no money, how could I help and commit to this. I had only committed to a Sabbath meal and these two ladies were feeding 100 plus a day and also many taken into their home. So Steve was on the phone and he asked something like " is this Dan" "yes" I meekly said. What could Steve want with me. I had gotten his email address somewhere and had been sending him The Prophetic News Service off and on but what could this man want with me. He said, "Can you accept a shipment of food? " " I did not order any food" I told him. "No a donation." "Okay yes just ship it here." I said. He said; " I do not think you understand do you have a fork lift?" Well by the time I got phone with him I found a semi truck was coming with at least $20,000 worth of food and drinks on it. Food for three meals a day for some time! Steve and I had no connection to each other. Recently he felt he should have me on
the Q-files
To try and gain us some support for our work with the poor that is still going on two years later Granny stopped feeding by November of 2000. I then found out what the Father had told Steve that day in his warehouse it went something like this Steve said to me on the air " Hours after you sent me that email, This is to give God the Glory, I was over in the warehouse and I actually heard the voice of the Lord say to me "Steve these are people who need to be fed, and I want you to stand with Brother Dan on this" Within hours The Father had brought us together for a purpose and given me the confirmation that I needed to get me fired up. I had enough food to get going until other food sources would come forward. This has been a ministry of Faith from the beginning. It Still Is!

Ecc 7:12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

Ecc 7:13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? Ecc 7:14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

I was Wrong

With strategies make for yourself war and salvation is in an abundance of council. (Mishlei 14:6)

The Chovos HaLevavos tells about a victorious general returning from war. He was swept up in the parade celebrating his accomplishments and the masses were cheering him wildly. At one point a wise old man made a comment to the general as he passed, "Now that you've finished with the small war, get ready for the big war!" The general stopped and asked the elder, "What big war are you talking about? I've just conquered the known world!" To which the wise man answered, "The battle with your-self!" This war is not an imaginary or metaphorical thing. It is the real and big battle of our lives and for our lives that all of us must fight. I was once given the assignment of challenging a group of Hebrew Day School students to continue past 8th grade and to consider going to a Yeshiva High School. I told them that I could prove mathematically that there was such a thing as a Yetzer Hara. It piqued their interest but the burden of proof shifted to me. That year I was teaching also on Sundays in a Hebrew School for pre-Bar Mitzvah boys. I told them that predictably so that even the best kid in the class didn't come back the day after his Bar Mitzvah. Why should that be so? I offered an analogy of shooting warm up baskets on the floor of Madison Square Garden. There you are with the big boys draining three pointers, but the minute the clock starts and the game is on you'd be lucky to hold the ball for a second before it's stolen away. Those guys are playing warm up Judaism but when the game begins at age 13 an iron curtain descends and everyone not serious is immediately shut down.

Here's an important piece of inside information. I'm not usually interested in these number things, but there are enormous practical implications to this brief insight of the Talmud. "The numerical value the name HaSatan (the opposing force) is 364". The message is that this opposing force is active and effective 364 days of the year. Since the solar year is composed of 365 days then there is one day when the Yetzer Hara is asleep and that day is Yom Kippur. How can we maximize strategic use of this information? The Yetzer Hara from the beginning of time has crept into lives subtly at first until he has moved in altogether crushing our innocent selves into a corner. Maybe that's the desperate cry we shout with the Shofar's help on Rosh HaShana to reclaim our purity. The Yetzer Hara sits like a giant gorilla in our living room. For the day he's deep asleep let's plan. We'll back a big truck up and pack his things in organized boxes (ashamnu…bagadnu). We'll quickly load them and then schlep him onto the truck and drive'm off the edge of a cliff. Then we'll hurry home and lock the door and not allow the same foolishness to enter. Isn't that what happens on Yom Kippur?

I can prove anecdotally that this is true. One of the hardest things for most people to do is to admit that they were wrong. Therefore one Rabbi said the three most important words in marriage are not "I love you" but "I was wrong". How much ego filled effort in this world and how many wars are started because someone just can't get those three words out. It's a terrible Yetzer Hara. Yet on Yom Kippur Synagogues are packed with Jews of all stripes and allegiances. Why on that day? There's no wine and cake to be had. People pay a premium price for seats to stand a day long and say repeatedly, "I was wrong!"

Mission Updates:Greetings, We were way over packed today as it is the end of the month, but before I go any further I need to answer a question, yes my family has it's own income in which I give over half to the Father's work and If I am not here I am working in the ministry at home, radio, news, praying for people, doing a mail out news letter, the list goes on rarely do I have any extra time outside of the ministry! Today I put the picture at the top of soap and deodorants etc. These will go out in a few minutes. These things just cost a dollar a piece try going without them. I just had a knock on the door for stomach medication, anti-acid, something's for pain, I will pass way more out than than. Just think what it's like not having these things, many people will be facing these in the near future I fear, I just pray that there is a ministry like ours to offer prayers, clothing, Bibles, etc for those in their cities. But watch the charities and churches will hurt first, and that will be the same place people run to. Today mom is just making sandwiches and sweets as it is Rosh, she made chicken salad yesterday for today.... Well I must go out of time... Please lift us in prayer and help if you can!
In His Perfect Peace, Pastor Dan

I pray this finds you all well and in tune with Yahweh our Father. I managed to get most all of the October bills paid. I have the newsletter funding and it will go out today. I will pay off the food bank Tuesday however the foods for food boxes are very low. In September we made close to fourty food boxes I will let you know the exact number in my next update the last time I counted there were thirty eight and I made five last Tuesday so I will count today and let you know. I picked a walmart bag full of hot peppers last night and will can them today at the Mission. I also got a bucket of tomatoes and twelve small cucumbers. If it doesn't freeze and the weather stays cool then I should get another harvest before winter. Please pray for this ministry and seek Yeshua on what He would have you to do to Help. There are so many needs and the new faces seem to keep coming. We have begun seeing the faces of small children and babies again. The need for diapers is a great one an we could use diapers of all sizes. The clothes closet is near empty and we need coats and blankets to give the people.

Yahweh knows the needs and He needs you to fill them.

We love you all keep us in Prayer love sisterlinda & family

SPIRITUAL GILGAL - 2008 -by Clay Sikes.
What is really happening today spiritually? The depth of what we are seeing was unimaginable only a few years back. There is a tearing, a clear an obvious separation and exposure of flesh that is being purged from the Body of Christ individually and corporately.
God is preparing a true remnant; men and women who are dead, yet live only for His cause in the earth. The fires of affliction have been very hot, as God's true remnant church is reaching the final stage of preparation before being released into divine, power-filled,
God ordained destiny. The common thread running throughout this remnant company is their lack of being bound by tradition, and a true existence of living by faith. The dynamics of being on earth today are perhaps like no other time; as the world's system is falling apart at the seams and failing its many suitors; minister and ministries are being revealed for their true intentions, as true prophetic ministries (no-name nobodies) are finding their fit with those to whom they are called. Many big name prophetic ministries are being called into question as to their true discernment, monetary motive, and less than accurate prophetic words. Still, many in the Body are blinded by the blight of big ministries, big ministers, big meetings, and big money; yet, I believe God will use the prophetic ministry in a big way, but not through those who call and title themselves as such. There is a movement in the earth today that you will not see on 'God TV', read about on the Elijah List, nor see on what is commonly called Christian TV. This move of God is coming about in the hearts of men and women as God is directing us to truth and connecting us with others of like faith. A spiritual DNA is coursing the veins of those 'called together;' that recognize this is not in a geographical joining, but rather a joining in a deep abiding understanding of the times and hour in which we live. This is unlike any time in the earth as the wheat is surely being separated from the chaff, the sheep from the wolves, and the Kingdom from the world's system. With this understanding, think it not a strange thing to see the collapse of the real estate and financial markets, the exposure of the events of Lakeland, and the blatant separation between the 'sleeping church' and those who are awakening.

We are sitting in a spiritual Gilgal, awaiting our next command; and yes this circumcision is painful, but the journey we are about to take will make it all 'worth it.'

SCARS OF LIFE

Some years ago, on a hot summer day in South Florida , a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore. His father, working in the yard, saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as loudly as he could.

Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his father. It was too late. Just as he reached his father, the alligator reached him.From the dock, the father grabbed his little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard his screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator. Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his father's fingernails dug into his flesh in his effort to hang on to the son he loved. The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, 'But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too.

I have them because my Dad wouldn't let go.'
You and I can identify with that little boy.

We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friend, are because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, He's been there holding on to you.

The Scripture teaches that God loves you. You are a child of God. He wants to protect you and provide for you in every way. But sometimes we foolishly wade into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead. The swimming hole of life is filled with peril - and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack. That's when the tug-of-war begins - and if you have the scars of His love on your arms, be very, very grateful. He did not and will not ever let you go.
God has blessed you, so that you can be a blessing to others.

You just never know where a person is in his/her life and what they are going through. Never judge another person's scars, because you don't know how they got them.

Also, it is so important that we are not selfish, to receive the blessings of these messages, without passing them to someone else. Right now, someone needs to know that God loves them, and you love them, too - enough to not let them go .
