The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, “God! How could you do this to me?” Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! “How did you know I was here?” asked the weary man of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied. The Moral of This Story: It’s easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn’t lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God. Have a Blessed Day! Continue to Pray for us as we pray for you! My Hut’s been on fire for a while now. I know God will show up any time for the help I need. Until then let’s PRAY! for prayer changes things!

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, We shall become as corrupt as Europe ..Thomas Jefferson The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those Who are willing to work and give to those who would not. Thomas Jefferson It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. Thomas Jefferson I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the Government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.. Thomas Jefferson No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. Thomas Jefferson The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. Thomas Jefferson The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: ‘I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.’ ‘If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.’-Mark Twain Have a Blessed Day!

Father God, I thank you for this glorious morning in You. I thank you for your covering and protection as my family and I slumbered. I thank you for every pain and test that has happened because it provokes me to praise and worship You. I command that everything I set my mind and hands to glorifies You. I decree and declare that earth is Yours and the fullness thereof and they that dwell within. I decree and declare that the saints of God are walking in their wealthy place full of obedience. I decree and declare that the wealth of the wicked is no longer laying up for us but is being released to us now because of our obedience and servanthood. I decreeand declare that we are the righteousness of Christ Jesus and we are bold as lions to defend the Gospel. I decree and declare that we have servant hearts. I command every watchman to be on assignment and not waver or become weary in well doing. In Jesus Name I pray..Amen! Have a blessed Day! I am having a hard time getting anything to post to this blog. The program is acting up. I couldn’t change the size of the above text on the cut and paste. You may go to my personal blog at www.johnlrasmussen.com . I should have an update today. God Bless you and yours! J.R. on tract for Jesus! www.livn4jc.com www.livn4jcstore.com
