If you are not doing the work assigned you by Jesus you are out of order.

You have a personal relationship with Jesus where you can hear Hi=
m!

for a stronger foundation for you.Get up at this time before some human be=
ing ruins your day. LOL LOL

ing problems yesterday.

We are blessed to have Darlene Quiring with us today t=
o share. Darlene uses Facebook for God’s Glory Alone, she is always posting=
encouraging words to us all……….

The most po=
pular =C2=93Social Networking=C2=94 site is called Facebook.

Facebook has been so popular that there are more people who use Facebook th=
an live in the USA. In fact, if the users of Facebook made up their own cou=
ntry they=C2=92d be the 3rd largest nation on earth =C2=96 with a populatio=
n of over 400 million.

65 million of those people access their Facebook account regularly thru the=
ir cell phones or mobile devices. And experts say that the average user has=
about 130 Facebook friends and they spend more than 55 minutes a day on th=
eir site talking with friends, posting pictures and reading about other peo=
ple they=C2=92ve met online.

Essentially Facebook is a place where people tell other people WHO THEY ARE=
!

Well, actually it=C2=92s a place where people tell other who they THINK the=
y are=C2=85 

Well, actually, it=C2=92s a place where people tell others how they wish ot=
hers thought they were.

Now on my Facebook, I am careful to show pictures that show me in what I th=
ink are flattering poses. Pictures that show me as being=C2=85 

=C2=B7 Forceful

=C2=B7 Debonair

=C2=B7 Affectionate 

=C2=B7 Mysterious

=C2=B7 Religious

=C2=B7 A World Traveler (these were all humorous poses

I=C2=92ve been on Facebook for about 3 or 4 years now, and I=C2=92ve notice=
d something about the site that=C2=92s really intriguing:

It seems that when people get on Facebook they always reveal WHO they are.

It=C2=92s like they believe they=C2=92re somehow anonymous because no one i=
s looking them in the eye. And thus, they don=C2=92t think anybody is reall=
y paying attention. 

Now, some people are very nice folks in private=C2=85 and so they=C2=92re n=
ice on Facebook. But others – if they=C2=92re mean spirited, lewd, crude an=
d generally despicable in private that=C2=92s how they behave on Facebook. =
And some of these people will post pictures on their Facebook they wouldn=
=C2=92t ordinarily want anybody to see, but they=C2=92ll put them online be=
cause they think they=C2=92re being funny. 

There=C2=92s just something about Facebook that reveals people =C2=96 as th=
ey really are.

ILLUS: I remember one woman who =C2=93friended=C2=94 me (in other words she=
asked to be able to read my posts and put her posts on my page). 

Now that was nice=C2=85 it was a compliment to me. And of course I said =C2=
=93Yes.=C2=94

But then, after a few weeks I noticed a disturbing pattern in her postings.=
What she wrote on HER Facebook (and thus shared with me) often had foul wo=
rds,

and she would talk about things a Christian sh=
ouldn=C2=92t be talking about.

So, I sent her a private message explaining that this wasn=C2=92t appropria=
te.

She was remorseful and said it wouldn=C2=92t happen again.

But it did.

So I sent her another message=C2=85 and she =C2=93unfriended=C2=94 me.&nbsp=
;

And that was ok.

You see, what she began to realize was – the things she thought were privat=
e were not private. She came to the conclusion that if she wanted to do wha=
t she wanted to do she had to make sure I didn=C2=92t know what she was doi=
ng.

So she unfriended me.

She cut me off from her Facebook page.

Because (in her mind) if I didn=C2=92t KNOW what she was doing=C2=85 she co=
uld keep on doing it.

Now, she can hide that from me=C2=85 but she can=C2=92t hide those things f=
rom God

In Jeremiah God tells us =C2=93My eyes are on all their ways; they are not =
hidden from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes.=C2=94 Jeremiah 16:=
17

Hebrews 4:13 =C2=93Nothing in all creation is hidden from God=C2=92s sight =
Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we mus=
t give account.=C2=94

That woman may have thought she=C2=92d gotten away from with something by =
=C2=93unfriending=C2=94 me, but she can=C2=92t hide anything from God. He s=
ees it all. And here in Luke 6 Jesus is essentially telling us that God has=
a Facebook page for each of us. On that Facebook page God sees exactly who=
you and I are. Every word we speak is recorded. Every action we do is show=
n

Because God sees us as we really are.

Now just to put your mind at ease – none of us come off looking all that go=
od on the Facebook page God has for us. As Romans says =C2=96 =C2=93All hav=
e sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.=C2=94

But here in Luke 6 Jesus is telling His disciples that, while that may be t=
rue, they shouldn=C2=92t get real comfortable with that idea. While all of =
us do mess up in our lives on occasion, God is looking to see what kind of =
fruit we=C2=92re bearing in our lives.

He says: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit=
.=C2=94 Luke 6:43

Then Jesus points out what kind of fruit God looks at:

=C2=B7 God looks at what we SAY

=C2=93The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his hear=
t, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his hea=
rt. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth SPEAKS.=C2=94 Luke 6:45

=C2=B7 AND God looks at what we DO

“Why do you call me, =C2=91Lord, Lord,=C2=92 and do not DO what I say? Luke=
6:46

What Jesus is saying is this: what you say and what you do are reflections =
of what is inside of you. The good man brings good things out of the good s=
tored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil =
stored up in his heart.

How you and I TALK=C2=85 and how you and I WALK are reflections of what we=
=C2=92ve stored in our hearts. In computer language they have a scientific =
description of that process.

It=C2=92s called =C2=93Garbage in, garbage out.=C2=94

If you put bad things in a computer=C2=85 you=C2=92ll get bad things out.

And conversely, if you put good things in=C2=85 you=C2=92ll get good things=
out

So, as Christians, what=C2=92s INSIDE of us?

Well, it=C2=92s should be the Spirit of God.

Thank you for sharing Darlene! You are a HUGE =
blessing. Darlene lives in Mt. Lake, Minn, which is just 14 miles from my h=
ometown, Windom.

Wheat harvest season is coming soon. The anticipation of a rewarding c=
rop is very high with wheat farmers. Easter comes early this year and the o=
ther important holy days follow with a crescendo of Pentecost on May 15. Pe=
ntecost was like a grand harvest festival of thanksgiving. On that first Pe=
ntecost after the resurrection of Jesus, the Holy Spirit came and rested up=
on all those on the roof top in their prayer meeting. Some believe that on =
that very day the church was born as a first fruits expression from heaven.=
They came to be known as Christians. Pray about giving this year with a ch=
eerful heart a first fruits offering from your own harvest. God loves a che=
erful giver. He loves you!

March 9, 2013. There is an undercurrent of dislike, m=
istrust and rejection. Most of the time it lays low, but nevertheless it is=
there. This undercurrent has taken others in and therefore has caused a we=
b that is not seen but always lurking.  It rears its head from time to=
time, to make innuendos and then goes back underground. Most of the time y=
ou know it is coming, but there seems nothing you can do about it. This gri=
eves you without end. There is something you can do about it, precious one.=
The weapons of your warfare are mighty before Me. Get the one you know who=
feels the same, pray together, then watch.

My Friends and Family,

For years I use to wear a cross necklace on a daily basis… For a=20
number of years I lost my way in following our Lord and this didn’t=20
necessarily become unimportant, but when I lost the necklace I had it=20
was not an important issue to me to replace it… Over the course of=20
the last 5/6 months several wonderful things happened in my life; 1st -=20
God brought Pastor Dewey Moede to me; 2nd – God had Pastor Dewey=20
introduce me to Pastors Marty & Paulette Cooper at ‘Christ Full=20
Deliverance Ministries’ in Rio Rancho where me and my wonderful wife=20
Sandy now regularly attend service… THE LORD HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH US=20
REGARDLESS OF OUR INATTENTION, BUT WE HAVE NOW LET CHRIST BACK IN OUR=20
HEARTS !!!… I can’t tell you how wonderful it feels !!!!!!

Keeping in mind that I lost my job a couple months ago and I have been=20
unable to find new employment with my age & disability hindering me… =
=20
Funds are running extremely low and we’ll be on hamburger helper without=20
the hamburger relatively soon if I don’t find something, but a couple=20
weeks ago I called my wonderful wife who was out grocery shopping and=20
asked if there was any way we could afford for me to go shopping and try=20
to find an inexpensive one to replace my lost necklace… She knew how=20
important this had become to me again and said “Go get one and don’t=20
worry about how much it is, I know had bad you want one.”… Won’t=20
mention stores involved but I went to the mall and proceeded to try to=20
find one… I had found a rather inexpensive one but the chain was=20
just way too small… Suddenly, Sandy called me back and said she was=20
going to the mall to get something and asked where I was… When I=20
told here I was already at the mall she said she would be there in a=20
couple minutes… When she arrived I showed her the one I had picked=20
out and she took me to the jewelry counter where the attendant showed us=20
another chain of good length but the most inexpensive one they had was=20
well over twice the amount of the cross itself… The combination of=20
the two would have come to a total of $99 which was very had for me to=20
chew on with our current situation and while I’m trying to cut back on=20
anything I can to provide what is left for my wife & family… Anyway=
,=20
I didn’t really care too much for the ones we picked out but decided to=20
get them… My wife said to get them anyway but she needed to go pick=20
out what she was looking for first… We left the items with the=20
attendant and told her we would be right back with the other item=20
also… Sandy was unable to find the item she wanted at that store so=20
we went back to get the chain & cross and then go to another store… =
=20
When we arrived back at the counter the attendant was now busy with=20
another customer… We waited and waited and waited and waited… =20
Eventually, we decided to go to another store to try to find the item=20
she was looking for… She found the item she wanted which she said=20
was perfect and exactly what she was looking for… We turned around to=20
go pay for it and right there in front of me was the jewelry section and=20
the counter directly in front of me had the most beautiful cross=20
necklace I think I’d ever seen… I looked at the price and told her=20
it was just way way too much… She said “Nonsense – get it”… We=20
asked the attendant if we could see it and while she pulled it out she=20
said – “Nice pick, it’s on sale for 75% off !!!

We got the cross necklace which I absolutely love and her new handbag=20
which she absolutely loves for exactly the same amount as I would have=20
paid for the cross & necklace I didn’t like that much at the other stor=
e=20
!!!!!!

Four part quiz for the day:

1 – Did I actually loose the original necklace; (or was it=20
misplaced for a reason) ?…

2 – Who brought Sandy to the mall at that exact same time I was=20
experiencing this problem ?…

3 – Who kept the attendant at the first store so busy we finally=20
left ?…

4 – Who took us to the other store where we found exactly what we=20
both wanted which were both of better quality and much more inexpensive=20
since they were both on sale ?…

If you can’t answer all four of these questions with a single word -=20
CALL PASTOR DEWEY – he’ll be happy to help you find the answer !!!!!…
