A word from the Osteen’s

Set Your Hope to GOD

Posted: 18 Sep 2008 07:55 AM CDT

Today’s Scripture

“Set your hope wholly and unchangeably on the grace (divine favor) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is revealed” (I Peter 1:13).

Today’s Word from Joel and Victoria

Is your hope set on God’s divine favor in your life today? One translation of this verse says, “Look forward to more and more of God’s favor.” That’s God’s dream—to pour out His goodness and grace upon you. He wants to help you get ahead in this life. He wants to lead you to the right job. He wants to lead you to the right relationship.

But here’s the key: we have to be on the lookout for more of God’s favor. That tells me that we can’t get stagnant. Don’t ever think that you can’t rise any higher. God wants to do more than you can even ask or think. It says in Ephesians, He wants to show us the immeasurable, limitless, surpassing greatness of His free favor.

In other words, God wants to go far and above what we’re used to! He wants to show you favor in unusual and extraordinary ways. Set your hopes higher today. Increase your expectations of what God will do in your life. As you open your heart and mind to His unlimited favor, you will experience the abundance He has in store for you!

A Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for your increase in every area of my life today. I choose to set my hope in You knowing that You want to do more in my life than I can ever imagine. Teach me to be a vessel used by You today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Have a Blessed Day in the Lord! I go to the orthopedist Doctor this afternoon about my knees, your prayers would be appreciated, I am hoping for a healing instead of surgery. They are doing much better, since I missed my prior appointment. Pray for this ministry. I am praying for all my blog traffic.

Remembering the Fallen on 9/11/01

TWO THOUSAND ONE, NINE ELEVEN   (2001-911)

 Two  thousand one, nine eleven
 Three thousand plus arrive in heaven
 As they  pass through the gate,
 Thousands more appear in wait
 A bearded  man with stovepipe hat
 Steps forward saying, “Lets sit, lets chat”

 They settle down  in seats of clouds
 A man named Martin shouts out proud
 ”I have a dream!” and  once he did
 The Newcomer said, “Your dream still lives.”

 Groups of soldiers in blue and  gray
 Others in khaki, and green then say
 ”We’re from Bull Run, Yorktown, the  Maine”
 The Newcomer said, “You died not in vain.”

 From a man on sticks one could  hear
 ”The only thing we have to fear.
 The Newcomer said, “We know the  rest,
 trust us sir, we’ve passed that test.”

 ”Courage doesn’t hide in  caves
 You can’t bury freedom, in a grave,”
 The Newcomers had heard this voice before
 A distinct Yankees twang from  Hyannisport shores

 A silence fell within the mist
 Somehow the  Newcomer knew that this
 Meant time had come for her to say
What was in the hearts of the five thousand plus that  day

 ”Back on Earth, we wrote reports,
 Watched our children play in  sports
 Worked our gardens, sang our songs
 Went to church and clipped  coupons
 We  smiled, we laughed, we cried, we fought
 Unlike you, great we’re  not”

 The tall man in the stovepipe hat
 Stood and said, “Don’t talk like that!
 Look at your country, look and see
 You died for freedom, just like  me”

 Then, before them all appeared a scene
 Of rubbled streets and twisted  beams
 Death, destruction, smoke and dust
 And people working just ’cause they  must

 Hauling ash, lifting stones,
 Knee deep in hell, but not  alone
 ”Look! Blackman,  Whiteman, Brownman, Yellowman
Side by side helping their fellow man!”

 So said Martin, as  he watched the scene
 ”Even from nightmares, can be born a dream.”

 Down below three firemen  raised
 The colors high into ashen haze
 The soldiers above had seen it  before
 On Iwo Jima back in ‘45

 The man on sticks studied everything  closely
 Then shared his  perceptions on what he saw mostly
 ”I see pain, I see  tears,
 I see sorrow — but I don’t see fear.”

 ”You left behind husbands and  wives
 Daughters and sons and so many lives
 are suffering now because of this  wrong
 But look very closely. You’re not really gone.

 All of those people, even those who’ve never met you
 All of their lives, they’ll never  forget you
 Don’t you see what has happened?
 Don’t you see what you’ve done?
 You’ve brought them together, together as one.

 With that the man in the stovepipe hat said
 ”Take my hand,” and from  there he led
 three  thousand plus heroes, Newcomers to heaven
 On this day, two thousand one, nine  eleven

 What a shame!

Remember the fallen that day on 9/11/01. Pray for there families. Remember how important your vote will be during this coming election. Lets keep christian values and the things this country stands for at the forefront of our decision making.

God Bless America!  Fly your flag! I’m flying a small one on my car.

God Bless you!

Home Remedies using…Cinnamon & Honey

Bet the drug companies won’t like this one getting around.

Facts on honey and cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and
cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the
countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a “Ram
Ban” (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be
used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today’s science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the
right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly
World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January, 1995
has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and
cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of
jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the
cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack.
Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process
daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of
the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart
beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated
patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and
veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon
revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup of hot
water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon
powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a
recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found
that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one
tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast,
they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated,
practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a
month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because
of arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a
glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the
bladder.

TOOTHACHE:
Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of
honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be applied three times a
day until the tooth stops aching.

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed
in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to
reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two
hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a
day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According t o information
received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves
complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon
lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This
process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears
stomach ulcers from the root.

GAS:
According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that if
honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system
and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have
found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts.
Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight
bacteria and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food
relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural
Ingredient which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from
flu.

LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests
the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of
cinnamon powder and three cups of water and boil to make like tea.
Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and
soft and arrests old age.

PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste.
Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning
with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from
the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts
cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach
and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in
one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the
most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow
the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high
calorie diet.

CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer
of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients
suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of
honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a
day.

FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more
helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body.
Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are
more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, say s that
a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with
cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at
about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease,
increases the vitality of the body within a week.

BAD BREATH:
People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle with one
teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their
breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts
helps to restore hearing to some degree.

Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon
sprinkled on it!

However, it is neat to be reminded of some of the very natural things
that God has put into our environment to keep us healthy.
Hope this blog post finds you in good health! Yesterday at church we had Communion. There is healing in a communion service. We all went up front and prayed for each others health. By his Stripes we were healed! I am seeing the doctor about my knees thursday. I am believing for a healing and wanting to avoid knee replacement surgery. Pray for me as I pray for all my blogging traffic.

God bless you! Have a great day in the Lord! it is a sunny wonderfull day outside today!

Nagging Concerns…

My sister  Sandra Lemley wrote this for the Local newspaper in the Letter to the editor, it is as follows:

I love our country, but so many situations are out of control. I just want to express a few of my concerns, such as our campaigning process.

Why can’t all major networks give a certain amount of time periodically to each candidate? This would give them the opportunity to let the American people know what they plan to do if elected. I am sure The Associated Press would be able to do the same.

The candidates could have a Web site set up for questions from the public. Instead they travel state to state, shaking hands, eating barbecue,kissing babies, raising money, etc.

I also think the negative mudslinging campaigns are unprofessional and uncalled for, causing us not to know what to believe. Their supporters give millions of dollars to support the current methods of campaigning. I am sure those monies could be used for more worthy causes.

As for gas prices, why can’t we stop spending millions of dollars to find out if there is life on Mars? Who cares? NASA engineers could spend time exploring less expensive ways to fuel our vehicles. We need to take care of life here in the United States!

Have a blessed day!
