I felt impressed to put in a 'bulletin board' here in the coffee break room. Maybe we could share a 'thought for the day' or a scripture that The Lord has given and we think it would be encouraging and edifying to others. Something to meditate upon during the day.
This scripture was impressed upon me this morning as I was looking up at a small mountain and giving The Lord thanks and praise for His wonderous works. I started singing to myself the song we used to sing from this verse and allowing The Holy Spirit to minister to my heart; He promised to NEVER leave us or forsake us, and this is just another way He tells us...
" As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so The Lord is round about His people from henceforth even for ever." Psalms 125:2
Hope it blesses ya'll as much as it does me,

We have SO much to be thankful for, and it's all made possible by The Blood of Jesus, freely shed for us.
"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man unto whom The Lord imputeth not iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no guile." Ps.32:1-2
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”

JUST A REMINDER:
God's Word doesn't change with the seasons and times, the promises He made in the days of Abraham, King David, Isaiah, until the N.T. promises Jesus made; they're all yea and amen. The calendar changing doesn't effect Mk.11:24 or John 3:16 or Ps.91 or Isaiah 53:5 or Acts 2:38-39.
Isn't it great to have this confidence in Him who made these great and precious promises, to be able to enter into a place of rest as Paul wrote of in Hebrews chapter 4.
"Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus The Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

" And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us:
And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him." I John 5:14-15
Faith is not some magic formula, or a secret code that allows christians to abuse God's promises; with name it, claim it doctrines, such as the false 'prosperity message'. Faith is trusting; believing; having confidence in; knowing in our hearts; that He who made the promises, God, will perform that which He promises.
And 'prosperity' is a promise from God...but not as it's being taught by 'seed' and 'give to get' teachers, who are only seeking after personal financial gain.

Earlier this week some of us were talking of the desert and the comparison between a literal desert and the spiritual desert many of us feel we've been in for the past 20 years.
We're not the first people to feel this way, King David wrote of his wilderness experiences in Psalms 63. We can take heart in knowing God delivered him, remember Ps. 23 as well as Ps. 91. Remember the promise of the latter rain in Joel 2:23 and the promise to restore the years that the locust, cankerworm, catepiller, and palmerworm has eaten. Joel 2:25 All of the book of Joel is prophesying of what God promises to do in the end-times to restore us unto Him.
" O God, thou art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
To see Thy power and Thy glory, so as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary.
Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee.
Thus will I bless Thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in Thy name." Ps.63:1-4
" And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as The Lord hath said, and in the remmant whom The Lord shall call." Joel 2:32
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”

" O give thanks unto The Lord; call upon His name: make known His deeds among the people.
Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him: talk ye of all His wondrous works.
Glory ye in His holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek The Lord.
Seek The Lord, and His strength: seek His face evermore.
Remember His marvellous works that He hath done; His wonders, and the judgements of His mouth; "

Forrest Gump said, 'My momma always said', " Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
And while there is a bit of truth in that statement, WE can ALWAYS KNOW who's in charge of our lives and that nothing is going to happen that HE hasn't ordained. And ultimately we can rest in the promises He's made and have peace in our hearts, reguardless of the times we live in and in the midst of chaos all around us. His name is JESUS.
Remember Psalms 91 verses 7-8 " A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shall thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked."

Spurgeon on Preaching Jesus Christ
"I believe that those sermons which are fullest of Christ are the most likely to be blessed to the conversion of the hearers. Let your sermons be full of Christ, from beginning to end crammed full of the gospel. As for myself, brethren, I cannot preach anything else but Christ and His cross, for I know nothing else, and long ago, like the apostle Paul, I determined not to know anything else save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. People have often asked me, "What is the secret of your success?" I always answer that I have no other secret but this, that I have preached the gospel,—not about the gospel, but the gospel,—the full, free, glorious gospel of the living Christ who is the incarnation of the good news."
Maybe we could substitute messages for sermons.

As I drove in to work this morning I was listening to Carl Seitz; and the words to this song, he wrote 30 years ago, just spoke to my spirit. I'm going to try to write part of them down, they were so encouraging...
"For there's another flood acoming,
it's a flood of end-time evil
and like a mighty wave, it shall soon engulf all people.
But although the sky above you looks so dark,
for God's people, there's an ark
you alone my friend decide whether you will be inside,
you alone can pay your price, to be a living sacrifice
upon the alter, brother don't you falter...
For when the world in tribulation is crying loud,
you can be with The Lord Jesus dwelling in the clouds."
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”

JUDGEMENT IS COMING UPON AMERICA, AND IT WILL BEGIN WITH THE CHURCH...
If God spared not Israel for their iniquity, the apple of His eye; but poured out His wrath upon both young and old, women and children, sparing only those who had been crying out unto Him for the abominations going on around them, what makes America think God doesn't see? Yet 'the church' has those speaking, 'thus sayeth The Lord, America's best days are ahead'; these are false prophets speaking lies, giving false hope, preaching false doctrines, covering over sin. But God sees.... and He has a remnant, crying out saying, 'don't listen to the false pleasers of man, who are speaking great swelling words which God hath not spoken.'
Ezekiel 9:4-6
" And The Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
And to the others He said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity.
Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; AND BEGIN AT MY SANCTUARY..."
verse 8-10
"And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in Thy pouring out of Thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Then said He unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and The Lord seeth it not.
And as for Me also, Mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head."
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”

Hey James,
I have been really thinking about this Word you had. It is sobering and I would like to ask your opinion on something.
Dr. Freeman, in his Revelation teachings, said that he believed that a group of people would be kept during Tribulation. These people had a mark upon them, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, but did not totally die out or go all of the way, as he put it.
Therefore, they had to be purified, somewhat, during Tribulation.
Do you think this passage in Ezekiel is talking about this mark? What does this prophet mean by mark, etc. Is it also referring to our times, as well, concerning this mark?
Also, the slaying stuff is serious too! Do you think that all of this refers to Tribulation and persecution of the denominational saints, etc.? I know that me and my household have tickets on the first load going up! 
These are really serious times we live in. Thank you for sharing this with us here at OO. I just need a little more input. I don't think I need anymore sobering up, but if that is the case, than so be it.
I am going to post all of the Revelation outline. It may take a little time, but these issues are all mentioned.
Blessings,
GWB

INFORMATIVE DVD: AMERICA, FREEDOM TO FASCISM
This link will allow you to view a film about the erosion of America. It was released in 2006 and in view of what has happened over the past year with the banking system, as well as other problems that have come to light, it gives some insight to how it was set up to bring America to the place we are now.
It's not bibically based and in the original film there is only one reference to the bible in it, and that is Rev. 13:16-18. But it is informative and shines light on the coruption in government, as well as exposing the IRS, The Federal Reserve, the power that the banking system has over the people and how it was first set up. Interesting info about tax laws and filing income taxes? ( No, I'm not avocating for people to stop paying income taxes, after all...lol)
The DVD original is almost 2 hr. long, but the internet version is a good bit shorter.
The link is http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1656880303867390173

Thank you James for this very interesting video, although I have not seen all of it. About 20 years ago I worked in a restaurant where we had some customers who were handing out this same kind of material and telling us we did not have to pay income tax because the 16th amendment was never ratified. There was a christian financial advisor on the radio, whose name escapes me, that was asked about this, and I believe his response was, yes it is true the 16th amendment was never ratified, but our highest court in the land, The Supreme Court, told us we had to pay tax, and therefore we must.
The Lord is just using all this to bring about his plans and purposes with all the corruption in the government. There is an excellent writer, who was involved in the Indiana government years ago, who sheds some very interesting light on some people and things that have happened and are happening. I saw this man speak before he wrote his first book. His name if Gary Kah.
He wrote an excellent book called "En Route to Global Occupation." He has a website, so if you get a chance I would recommend looking at it. I haven't looked at his site for a while, but you bringing this video out, I will have to see what he is writing about now.
Also we can't be naive to think that sites like this are not being monitored, as we know how the the christian will be hated. I can remember someone saying how christians are the reason we have so many problems in this country. It was just an off the cuff comment during the Clinton years, but it stuck with me. May God's peace be with us all.

Hey Sue,
I just finished listening to one of Bro. Freeman's earlier teachings on, 'The Day of The Lord'(the introduction); Hombre shared it with me, and it is SO appropriate for today.(remember, he taught this message over 30 years ago) The text is from I Thess. 4:13-18. There were many scriptures he used to point to the fact that we're in the last days; but what stands out to me is the false prophecies today coming out about how America is yet to see our best days and how we are God's special nation. Exactly what people want to hear...yet NOT at all what God is saying. In Jeremiah 28, Jeremiah had prophesied that God said, Israel would go into captivity for 70 years due to their sins and rebellion. Yet, Hananiah prophesied that it would only be 2 years. Not only did God vindicate His TRUE prophet, He smote Hananiah for prophesying false prophecy unto His people.
We have Hananiah's standing up all across America proclaiming blessings. OH! For prophets of God to speak TRUTH unto this nation, JUDGEMENT IS COMING UPON AMERICA.
Just in case someone wants some biblical references that point to the SIGNS that are everywhere around us, as to the Day of The Lord being at hand...here are a few, there are many more...
I Thess.4:13-18 5:3
II Thess.2:1-12
I Tim.4:1-5
II Tim.3:1-9
Matt.24:3-28
Luke 17:26
He's coming, as a thief in the night...LOOK UP!

" For ever, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in heaven." Ps. 119:89
If God's Word is SETTLED in heaven, FOR EVER, and He said it was; then it seems to me that if we'll settle it in our hearts, that what God says is true, we have made a HUGE step towards walking in fellowship with Him. He said ALL His promises are yea and amen, we believe John 3:16 but wrestle with Isaiah 53:5; with I Corth.10:13; Rom.13:8; James 5:14-15; II Corth. 6:17
II Corinthians 7:1 " Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."

I AM THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE...
Ps. 107 verses 17-19 speak of fools who because of their transgressions and iniquities, are afflicted. But verse 20 reveals the LOVE of God,
because He sent Jesus(who is The Word...~John 1:1-2)and healed them.
" He sent His WORD, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." ~Ps.107:20
"...Who HEALETH all thy diseases." ~Ps. 103:3b

" So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish
that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent it." ~Isaiah 55:11

FAITH
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." ~Heb.11:1
Faith comes by hearing and believing the Word of God.
"...faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." ~Rom. 10:17
Faith is believing that God will do for, in, or through you what He promises in His Word.
"God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it?
or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?" ~Num.23:19
Faith is believing God, and acting accordingly.
" But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." ~Heb.11:6
" But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." ~James 1:22

Jude 1:17-25
17) But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18) How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19) These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20) But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21) Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22) And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23) And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

" The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me..." ~Psalm 138:8
This scripture is today's verse to meditate upon, in the "Morning by Morning" daily devotions written by Charles Spurgeon.
The writter writes: "The Psalmist was wise, he rested upon nothing short of The Lord's work. It is The Lord who has begun the good work within us; it is He who has carried it on; and if He does not finish it, it never will be complete. If there be one stitch in the celestial garment of our righteousness which we are to insert ourselves, then we are lost; but this is our confidence, The Lord who began will perfect. He has done it all, must do it all, and will do it all. Our confidence must not be in what we have done, nor in what we have resolved to do, but entirely in what The Lord will do."
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
