& A Salvation Prayer, The Lord's Prayer, and the Lord is My Shepherd~~~The 23rd Psalm

See toward the end of today's posting The Lord's Prayer, and the 23rd Psalm- The Lord is My Shepherd.  Then see a Salvation Prayer that you may read and promise God in that from your heart or in your own words that you want Jesus Christ to be with you everyday until you go to Heaven to be with Him forever and your beloved!  
If you are fully, already committed, you might refresh or pass on to someone.  If you know you are not saved or even were and backed away, the please COME now and re-commit to God!  You will never, ever regret it, but if you are not saved, all of your chance will have gone by the wayside- the Holy Spirit having worked diligently to draw you to Himself for repentance- then your fate will be sealed the other way, to a place- alone and ugly, even tormenting.  PLEASE, FRIEND, I am weeping just thinking about this plight for you.  PLEASE, Today is the Day of Salvation!

                                                     II Corinthians 6:2 NKJV                                          

2For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

We pay honor, respect, and homage to our military (and those around the world)~ fighting for the good, only!~ which includes the first responders to :emergencies and human beings who are in need, are the police, the nurses and doctors, the fire fighters, and the emergency medical services.
There are many others... These brave men and women fight the horrible, daily battles between life and death, hellish oppression and freedom!!!  Sometimes we all struggle for survival in this beautiful world the LORD has given us, but since the Garden of Eden, we had to leave and be in a broken world until JESUS' RETURN, Praise God~
Praise God for all of these people [>>>(See below.  Florence Nightingales, if you will)] of the nation and the globe.  They put themselves in great jeopardy- including the awful heartache and deep sadness, even anger that can linger on in nightmares, daily living, and deep within these people's souls and hearts and minds.  Let us pray for them, remember them, pat them on the back and whatever the LORD brings to mind to say, "I love you, and I care!"  To say, "I remember you and your families and know just a little piece of what you have given and are giving for others' comfort and very lives."
I want to tip my hat (how about a big hug, warm dinner, bouquet of flowers), so to speak, to the amazing and boundless work (thankYou, oh, Holy Spirit!!) that intelligence folks do in America, land of the free and home of the brave, to keep our lands and waters safe from terrorists- of any nature- within or without!

+++Go to:    Roy Shenkel, WWII veteran, Patriot Features
Please be thankful to God with me for these heroes, miracle-making people, with God Almighty's Help, who keep our nation, as well as countless others, from the tyranny, oppression, outright evil and demonic plan that Satan would relish we have- but we only "deal" with that until Christ's Return!!
(If you madam or sir, are a repented and saved true believer in Chrirst Jesus, then you are NEVER going to be possessed by a devil.  You can be oppressed by him or his minions, but you can say in all confidence (exactly like Jesus told him in the wilderness): "Get thee hence, Satan!"  "In the Name of the LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, I am His son/daughter, and He is my authority, not you!  Leave!"
Get thee hence means, "under my foot!" And the devil MUST leave!
Here is what the LORD Almighty said in Genesis 2:15-17
¹⁵ The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. ¹⁶ And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; ¹⁷ but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
(See Bible Gateway with certain Scriptures/passages/even full Biblical books, such as John; key in the verses, click, and you have it there on the page/s!)

The Serpent's Deception

…4The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die! 5"For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." 6When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.

Genesis 3:4-6, (See www.biblehub.com)

God never meant for us to have to live like this- in fear, torture and death; I have referred to this Truth, this true theme of  Lord Jesus Christ's original intention for us starting with Adam and Eve before they believed the serpent/the devil and listened to his lies:
…
Instead of believing God's actual Words to them: that they, Adam and Eve, would surely die if they ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, Adam and Eve believed the serpent, Satan.

One of the saddest things, I heard a pastor once say is this:
"We were already like God- He made us in His image (never, are we God! Blasphemy!).  Eve and Adam believed the devil's lie that God was trying to keep something from us...why would God, our most loving Parent in the universe He created, want to keep any good thing from us?  Never!  The Lord wanted/wants to keep us from seeing and experiencing evil and horror.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 

James 1:17-21 (ESV)

Oh, how I personally wish we did not know the hideous nature of this current world!
Someday!!!   : )  We have such a bright future in Christ, Alone.  (He protects us now, too!)

God gave us the Way (Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life) back to Himself, however!!  Through the shedding of Innocent blood as a Living Sacrifice Who died on the cross with all of our sins, ever, heaped upon Him- Only Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, could accomplish this inscrutable, Selfless act of Love, Mercy and Grace for each of us.  Then Jesus died, was raised again, walked the earth a little more than one month, and arose to the right Hand of the Father- God, part of the Triune One Lord we serve, which includes the Holy Spirit.  Again, we have: God, the Father; God, the Son, Jesus Christ; and God, the Holy Spirit)...

This following poem, The Wounded Soldier, was shared in The Healing is Always Christ another time.

This special time of year in the United States spurred me on to celebrate soldiers and helpers, yet once again.  I have included a few others which may be apropos as we prayerfully think of, pray, and give to God's Helpers.  Give these warriors/even yourself!~ a big hug~ or tell someone to hug you if you are a helper :)  This includes being a prayer warrior!  God bless you richly in the grace of our Savior, Christ Jesus~!  I am so happy now.

Others of us recognize that we are in the presence of An Unselfish Heart, a True Giving Person, which leads me to my family...my mother was the very essence of a giving and loving person, in Jesus Christ.
My sister Sherry McCoy and I were born of an exceptional Christian woman for our dearest mother, Dorothy E. McCoy, of whom I have written several times in this blog.  Our dad, whom we are extremely proud and thankful for serving our nation and the world, Clayton W. McCoy, served in World War II in all three theatres- the European, the Pacific, and the North-African.  He was at Normandy on D-Day, and the next day or so after, he and others of the Navy and armed forces of America went on water and land to retrieve the injured and to take back the bodies of their slain fellow brothers.
Yes, that incomparable war and all of them of the world involve The Fight- Good against Evil. These continue today, horribly and unfortunately!  These heinous battles, including the deprivation of the citizenry being tortured, raped, and taken captive will abruptly stop when Christ returns for His 1,000 Year Reign!  Praise our God Jehovah- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!!  Then, after the 1,000 years, there will be one, very short war where God Himself lays the devil out helpless, defeated-where he belongs for the good of humanity- in Hell Eternally, and he or his demons will never bother or hurt anyone again.
God's children made in His Own Image, beautiful animals, gardens and forests, our earth will be lush and free as only Adam and Eve knew for a while.  We will have it all forever.
I truly imagine that Eve and Adam will be there with us, also.
Everyone, give your heart and being, your lives to God Almighty!!

See the +++Salvation Prayer+++ and ~~~The Lord's Prayer~~~ and +++Psalm 23, The Lord is My Shepherd (below).  

The Wounded Healer above all, Jesus Christ, gave His absolute all for each of us that day on the cross at Calgary.  His shed blood from His Holiness, both God and Man, Jesus Christ was the only Perfect Lamb capable of cleansing all of the sin that had been, is, and ever would be.

The Wounded Soldier

Does not want to get up

One more time.

He is too sad,

Does not understand,

And is so tired.

How many battles,

Thousands,

He has fought for others.

What, excitement and adventure

It was,

But no more.

He is tired of helping others

As lofty and loving

It was, all these years.

Who will help him now?

I will, as I have,

Saith the Lord.

I have been and will be

Your Protector,

Your Savior and Friend.

How I have loved you,

What and for whom

You have done.

Sweating, fearing, hoping,

Devastating personal toll.

Loving and sacrificing for them.

You know

My angels

Have been ‘round about you.

So many times,

And you knew

And you did not, many times.

Now, come under

The Shelter of

My Almighty wings, and rest in Me.

Abide in Me,

All the rest of

Your days with your family.

They will help, too,

And you need to rest

And learn even more about Me.

Venture forth into

That land you love so well!

I put that in you before you were born.

Well done, My good and faithful servant!

Please use any of the postings or poems for use on a small scale to share the Good News of our LORD and Savior, Jesus

 Striving to push beyond the bounds of earth,

Yet wanting to have complete solace,

I need to find my refuge in You, Lord.

 Donna M., June 2004

Like a Soldier of the Lord (Himself),  Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Messiah, the Saver of our Souls for eternity...He lay down His life for each of us.

John 10:11

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

John 15:13

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.

Philippians 2:17

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

1 Thessalonians 2:8

so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.

1 John 2:9

Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.

+++A Salvation Prayer+++ 

(as told by Jimmy Evans on "Joni," Daystar Television, October, 2015)

Lord Jesus, I confess that You are Lord!  

I believe that God the Father raised You from the dead.  I open my heart to You.  I lay my life down to You.  I invite You to come in as my Lord and Savior.  Forgive me of my sins.  Give me a gift of eternal life.  I have lay my life down for You, Lord God.  

Live in my heart forever.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.

And now, the Holy Spirit of God, has come into your heart to live inside you as Helper, for Guidance, and Comfort.  Listen to Him.  Stay in The Holy Bible, the Word of God, and begin and stay with a very excellent church where Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Scripture, the Bible, is used and followed.  Find a small fellowship within the church where you can be yourself, stay accountable, learn and grow, and help others within and in the community and world.  

God bless you on the best Decision you will ever make!!  I am praying for you!  Thank you for your prayers for others. I am very thankful to God for this humble blog.  I so very much appreciate you. 

I am very, very happy for you, Friend of God!

~~~The Lord's Prayer~~~

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.  Matthew 6: 5-15

+++The Lord Is My Shepherd+++

(Psalm 23 - King James Version)

(1) The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 

(2) He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: 

he leadeth me beside the still waters. 

(3) He restoreth my soul: 

he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 

(4) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; 

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

No Separation

No separation,

No good-byes,

No “See you tomorrows,”

Ever!!

Forever,

Together again-

That is what the Master

Has promised us!

                                                                

Your beloved was immediately

Taken to be with our Jesus…

And when the Lord saw him/her, He said,

“Well done!  My good and faithful servant.”

Then, He took your loved one by the hand

Where s/he basked in the glow

Of His Light and Loveliness-

Today, Tomorrow, and Always.

Yes, your hearts are full and heavy,

And yet light and happy at the same time,

For you know the Truth that is promised

By our Lord and Savior.

God knows your troubled hearts,

And He loves you so very much!

We cannot calculate or begin to understand

The depth of His continuing love for you.

So, remember each day

And just think joyfully as you may,

That your dad, friend, your brother, your daughter, or mum

Will be with you again, in the blink of an eye!

We can do all things through Christ, which strengthens us.

May you dwell with the peace that passeth understanding,

Christ Is With you, Always

In love and blessings, His mercy is unending.
