Please post new prayers, prayer requests, praise reports on this thread.
For future reference, I’ll likely post new threads as current threads surpass the 100-post mark.
I also want to apologize for not being more active here, and also for not paying as much attention to our spam filter. CHPH had 12 posts fall into the spam filter 
and I apologize for not fishing them out sooner 
I promise to take better care of this and be a better steward in the future.

Also, regarding the spam filter…I had a eventful couple of days mid-week, which was another factor in me not checking this blog. Again, I’m sorry for that and apologize to all of you for it.

Come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem ;
Come and behold Him born the King of angels;
Chorus
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Come, all ye weary, wounded and discouraged,
Come ye, O come ye to Galilee ;
Come and behold Him walk upon the water;
Come, all ye mournful, broken and defeated,
Come ye, O come ye to Gethsemane ;
Come and behold Him, pleading in the garden;
Come, all ye sinful, guilty and afflicted,
Come ye, O come ye to Calvary ;
Come and behold Him, dying as the Savior;
Come, ye, beloved, hopeful and forgiven,
Come ye, O come ye to Glory now;
Come and behold Him, reigning, and returning;
Chorus
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

We will glory in You, o Lord.
Your are our refuge.
You are our strong tower.
You are our hiding place.
You are our deliverer.
Your alone are Holy.
The one true God.
Ever faithful.
Ever present.

AEA,
Joining you with a cup of tea-Earl Gray this early morning.
The 26th at 8:38 on the other thread was not a song. Just cries from my heart.
Things have been rough of late. I have been under the weather-2nd round of meds and 2 shots-and we have a family crisis with My mother-in-love. She is gravely ill. Long story-short is–surgery for pace maker turned into open heart surgery for repair of heart valves (2) turned into to major heart attack the day she was to come home-the 27th. Her name is Bonnie She will be 83 in 6 weeks. We have a long way to go. She is 1 hr away and will be in the hospital a long time. We are hopeful.
CHPH
You bless me beyond words. I came here tonight just to soak in your praises and prayers to Him. Thank you for your faithful praise, adoration and intercession.
Lord, thank You for this place. Bless and protect faithful intercessors. Those I have never met who are family in You. Spread around time and space lifting up unknown faces to the throne as if we were together often face to face. Strange how being together in the Lord key board to key board can create such ties. Only in the Lord can that be! Great glory Lord!! Praise and Thanksgiving.

SisterD,
The Lord holds all of our hearts in His hand. In it exists the balance of our lives. Here or Home, Your mother-in-love is blessed to be found in her Father-in-Love’s utmost care.
It seems to be the season of tested perseverance. I fell down the stairs and cracked some ribs, bruises to arms, ankle, etc. What a joy! I was able to read the entire Bible in two weeks and one day.
I boast in this; God sees the sparrow that falls to the ground and He take note and He lifts us to Himself. I cannot think of a better place to be. So, I think of all here who are feeling His heartbeat so close that we can Hear Him breathing words of life sustaining strength, and heart convincing love.
This Sacred Retreat is for all such matters. It is worship in the midst of anything.
Turn our eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangley dim
In the Light of His glory and grace.
Bless you sister,
I’ll be praying for all you mentioned.

I am so pleased that our efforts do not depend on our abilities. I am pleased that our character does not depend upon our heart or our success depend on our intelligence, or our future on our acomplishments or in my case, my meanings dependent on my spelling.
We are not independent. We are ondependent, on the fullness of God in Jesus.
He knew our humaness yet showed us how to transcend sin through obedience. He showed us overcoming strength through the vehicles of forgiveness, trust, perseverance, agape.
Lord, may we live in such constant communion that the enemy has no room. May we confess You to ourselves and others in our actions. Let us be nothing less than astounding believers radiating perfect peace.
Holy Spirit, claim every corner of our existence for Jesus’ glory and the Father’s pleasure.
We confess that You are God.
Amen to the Morning Star.

I went to a New Church today. It is called Living Water Christian Fellowship it is a Calvary Chapel here in San Juan Capistrano . I was surprised and grateful to see how many people I know that go there. Several people from my old church Calvary Laguna go there so I was able to sit with people I know which really helped on the panic issue side of it.
The pastor was not there, His Father in law passed away this week. Which I found out his Father in law is John Gordy he use to be a linebacker for the Detroit Lions. way back when…. He was 73 when he died… so they were not there. but I look forward to hearing him next week.
The assistant pastor spoke, he spoke on making sure we are building our lives on a firm foundation. It was really good.
Well thank God new church and No panic attack,,,,,
Dont know if i will continue to go there but it was a really good experience.

Lord,
For Maryb, I ask that You provide a place for her to worship You corporately with others. May this new church be a feeding place for this lamb and may she find the acceptance she desires there. You Lord are her full coverage of every need, but fellowship is dear and supportive. Fill her with Your Spirit that she might be taken hold of by all Your attributes that bless.
For BrianD,
Lord I ask that if the employment of this request will serve Your purpose and bless BrianD, that it will become apparent in his test. You test us Lord in our reactions, so let it be obvious and acceptable to BrianD in what You decide for his immediate future. We keep him in prayer for a lack of nervousness and a clear mind to ease him through his test and anything that follows.
Be his ever present help in this issue and give him satisfaction with Your presence through it.

AN EVENING PRAYER
Words & Music: C. Maude Battersby, arranged by Charles H. Gabriel, circa 1911 (MIDI, score).
If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive!
If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive!
If I have been perverse or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold,
When Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive!
Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee;
Forgive the secret sins I do not see;
O guide me, love me and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, Amen.

Thank you Maryb for that post. It is purifier.
Sometimes it is our secret sins exerting themselves that do us much damage. They can be silent and deadly like a poisoning vapor. I pray the Lord finds mine out and frees me from them.
We want to be a spotless bride, but if the stain is on the back of our linen garment, we can’t always see it, though others walking behind us can.
That is the one beautiful thing about fellowship. Though it is awkward and sometimes embarrasing, others can help us see a little clearer.
Faults are another area where others can help. We may be about to step into a fault and others can warn us so we don’t hurt ourselves. People are sometimes very weak and will blame others for their faults. It is painful but we must bear them and if possible, gently correct them. If they can’t take correction, then we have the priviledge of forgiving them like Jesus forgave us.
In the out come Maryb, we glorify God rather than justify ourselves. It is the essence of holy living, this following of Jesus’ example. He followed the Father, we follow Jesus. We end up in heaven. Glorious thought isn’t it?
We will dance for joy together we we get there!

Thank you CHPH. You bless me.
In the midst of your accident you are a strong tower. I pray quick healing and blessed new gleanings from your time with Him.
Is 45:6 That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun
That there is no one besides Me.
I am the LORD, and there is no other,
7 The One forming light and creating darkness,
Causing well-being and creating calamity;
I am the LORD who does all these.
He knows all our troubles and joys. He is always with us.

My dear Mother-in-law went to be with the Lord Sunday afternoon. We will celebrate her life tomorrow. Much family will be there. Some lost. She would have the greatest joy if there would be men and women of Godly character there to point the way for them, or planet seeds, speak gentle truth that gives them things to treasure in their hearts and take root. She was a woman whole loved God and served Him tirelessly.

John 12:24-26
Dear SisterD,
May this little seed that God is planting in the ground bring forth a harvest of new believers. May the radiance of your understanding of where she is attract the attention of those who wonder at the hope that is in you. May He fill your conversation with salt and light to lead others to the Truth. May the pre-prepared hearts of sorrow receive the message God will contain in your voice.
Let the world see you rejoice in the Lord our God and Saviour. Lead them into Zion. Break forth in praise for the great things He has done. For we are not like the dead burying the dead. We are not of the house that goes to sheol.
The Lord our God is mighty in His temple and we are the sheep of His Pasture.
May your cup runneth over and may this be the day that the Lord has made to shout His Name above what the world considers loss and we consider gain.
The Lord be with you and make His face to shine upon you. May the angels reap among your loved ones, a harvest ready for His call.

Father,
We are about to enter a new day. You tell us not to worry about tomorrow for today’s troubles are sufficient on their own.
We desire Lord that we walk through this day with grace. Though those around us stumble in darkness, we desire to reflect Your glory. How will they know if they can’t see. They suffer the responses of dumb idols. They take matters into their own hands and commit failure. Their reliance is on nothing of eternal substance.
If we can be of use to You today for the mercy You extend, give us the tools, Spirit, and the heart to reach out, even into the fire, to save. The glory is Yours through the obedience of Jesus.
Hosanna in the Highest, Yeshua Ha Mashiach, Even so Lord while there is time.

How did your mother in-laws memorial service go?
Those thoughts of yours on the old thread are a worship song even without music.
Thanks for joining me with your earl grey even though I was stuck alone on the old thread. (CHPH was in spam puratory.)
BrianD, any news on the job situation? Thanks for taking care of this site.
Maryb, good news on the church you attended. You need a church family and a church family needs you. Don’t give up.

Father God,
Provision provider, who passes over the affairs of men and blesses them in hidden and obvious ways, be with us as we walk accordingly in quiet of spirit, in glad expectation, and blessed calm. We see the storms around us and yet we are suspended above tempting doubts that You alone can solve all things.
You have watched us from our beginning knowing our end. You let us participate in decisions. May they fall into Your generous palms that carry our burdens.
Yoke us to Your wisdom that leads to unperturbed peace, that shows us the
folly among those who disregard your leading. You do not cast shadows on those who seek the Light of Truth.
Remain in us as we seek to cleanse ourselves of errors and misguided intentions. Be the resource of our obedience and love us into the fullness of Your presence. Be our abiding miracle that magnifies You.
For what can’t be expressed except for groaning in the spirit,
we bow as we accept more of You,
Amen

Thank You, Lord, for this prayer family. There has been peace our us this week and I know You have wrapped us in it and these who pray have had a hand in it also. Their prayers are sweet balm. Bless each one seven fold.
Thank you all for prayers, thoughts and words of love and encouragement. Only God knows how great a work will be accomplished through you all. You stood in the breach for us this week. Thank you.
Everything has been done tenderly this week. Personalities that sometimes flare have been calm. Decisions made were done so in agreement. My deepest prayers during this week have been for lost family members to see Christ. I do continue to pray there were seeds planted in the hearts of those who have become prodigals and those who have never known Him-one part of the family is Jewish. I pray they all heard in the deepest places and will continue to hear the Call.
Praying for you, Maryb. I have been sick for almost four weeks with an upper respitory thing. Many shots, meds and kleenex. It has been very hard to do all that has had to be done and think even a little.
Isn’t it wonderful that our groanings are heard and become crystal clear to Him. The spam catcher is a quiet place of waiting. He tenderly ministers and tirelessly works. Oh if we would only rest in Him and not struggle, toss and turn.
May God bless and keep you, may His face shine upon you and give you peace.
Shalom

Rabboni,
You teach us through our eyes as we read Scripture of all You have done according to the Father’s will. You teach us in our spirit as we see the supernatural works and wonders You perform that tells us You govern all things visible and invisible.
You teach us through Your words as we hear the commands we are to follow. You say “walk this way”, “come my beloved”, “Be still and know…”. Your sheep know Your voice. Help us respond in automatically loving, desiring obedience.
You cause us to yearn for more as we feed from Your hand. Blessed are those who…for they shall…
Lord, Cleanse our temples of strife, doubt, chaos, that the enemy may have no foothold in our thoughts, actions, physical well being, or our attention. Heal us from any worldly interference. Bring us into an enraptured understanding that lifts us above our troubles. Mute the bombardment of outer realm sin that flows from the princee of the air. We listen for You.
We adore all we know of YOU. Give us more.
Commit our prayers to the Throne of the Answering One Who is ,was, and is to come.

My request today is for my son. He is taking steps into manhood and Christian leadership. His request is my request to You.
Let his ideas for the Pastor’s Conference flow into use. Allow him, through Your refinement and will, to do this thing as an act of worship to You. Give this generation a foothold in the Kingdom of Service to You. See his heart and grant him provision and authority with holy design that blesses You and others.
To You be the glory of this endeavor. Hold his esteem of You ever before him and account it to his credit of personal love for He Who created him.
Thank you for hearing my prayer.
For those whose ministies are named on the blogroll, fill them with the activity of heaven and touch them with Your Holy finger. Write Your Name above them.
For those who bring praise to You here, for those who love one another here, for those who need You here, I say come Lord Jesus come.

Tune: NEAR THE CROSS, Meter: 76.76 with Refrain

there a precious fountain,
free to all, a healing stream,
flows from Calvary’s mountain.
Refrain:
In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
till my raptured soul shall find
rest beyond the river.
2. Near the cross, a trembling soul,
love and mercy found me;
there the bright and morning star
sheds its beams around me.
(Refrain)
3. Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me walk from day to day
with its shadow o’er me.
(Refrain)
4. Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
hoping, trusting ever,
till I reach the golden strand
just beyond the river.

You kiss away sorrow from my trials
You hold my balance upright

You sing joy over me
You correct my path with scenes of redemption
You curtail my enemies plots
You ban the evil that threatens my realm
You are swift in my defense
You allow my dreams to enter Your will
You answer well to all that is pure
You enable me to walk with faith
You fashion my will to Yours
You outstretch my arms to reach for love
You reveal Your presence waiting
You carry the burden of my hope
You lighten the day with thanksgiving
You enter the moment I almost fail
You show a way to escape
You gird me with trust to take a step
You settle me with humble success
You keep my name in Your Book of Life
You erase the fall of my day
You crown me with gentleness from Yourself
You Are my Only Way
And I am grateful LORD to You Who Are Fully Great.
And I exalt Thee.

Your Word cannot be moved. The world tries to rearrange it to suit their whims, athiests try to censor it to satisfy their foolishness, nominal christians try to dilute to use it for their gain, it is ignored, ridiculed, blasphemed, and trodden, and yet, it does not move. It exists as an entity in Itself. It cannot be burned, rhetorically reasoned away, hidden, or disspelled, for You LORD GOD are Its Author.
We come to This Great Author to thank HIM for wirting our unworthy names in His Book of Life. We thank His Son Jesus who casts out sin. We thank His Spirit Who reassures our faith.
We have read Your Revelation to John. It shall be as You said and we wait, watching, our eyes fixed on the FAITHFUL AND TRUE. We shall not be moved.
Strengthen us for today’s journeys. We will give an account of You.

I was just reading through the thread and saw that you asked me a question on February 6.
That was the day I was traveling out of state on vacation. I got back in the wee hours of February 14.
I’ve been trying to play catch up ever since and today I saw your question.
No, I am not a Youth Group Leader. I have the privilege of pastoring a small fellowship in Northern Nevada.

Dear AEA,
I am usually here in the mornings. Thursday mornings I travel a bit so I usually miss your post then, but perhaps sometime we will connect and will be able to converse or maybe pray together. I appreciate your presence here.
Thank you for sharing about your fellowship. I will pray for you in that capacity.
I do not know about BrianD’s current job status, but the other interview seems to have fallen through. God has something special for him. I am glad that he is patient.
I am an avid coffee drinker who is trying to like green tea. A triple espresso on ice with half and half with a bit of cinnamon and artificial sweetner is my standard Starbucks order. Green tea would do my body better.
I am glad you are returned safe from your trip, and that God’s praise is on your lips. He is everything and more.
God bless your evening,

I enjoy your posts. I have to admit, I’m a junkie when it comes to seeing the saints praise the Lord.
I’m thankful for this site. I wish more would join us, they don’t know what they miss.

Maryb,
When I am at that place of full reliance on Jesus’ healing power, I rest. It is then that I know only He can do it. As for wether He will, I leave that up to Him for this one reason; It keeps me near Him. How far can an ailing lamb travel?
But I do pray for you because I know it can be frustrating, lonely, depressing, and even seem as though one is forsaken, so here is my prayer:
Jesus,
You can effect miraculas cures. You can speak a word and all could be healed. You can even be not present with the ailing and they can be cured. You can send others and cure through them. But of what would we be cured and how will we use that cure. Do we give You honor in the midst of suffering? Do we accept with joy all that befalls us? Do we trust when everything seems to be getting worse before good?
I ask you Lord on Mary’s and my behalf if it is possible that you want to cure our life first and then our bodies. What part of us do You want to touch first, for we want to allow it. We want You to know that we love You more than a cure. That we love You inspite of a cure, through a cure, or without a cure.
What stands in the way of our better health. Take our attitude, the use of our time, the opinions of ourselves and others, our lack of anything that pleases You alone and meet us there first so that regardless of our flesh, we will be cured. But then Lord, that we might have relief, please touch our fallen, fail frames. It would be such a blessing to not have to carry Your Spirit in such a mean temple. We know we are not worthy but we also know You are able.
Please Lord, send moments of relief until we can have our new bodies that You promised. Until then help us to serve You where we are at.
We wait expectantly, but in humble submission knowing You know best.
Amen
Quiet our flesh and fill our mouths with thanksgiving.

1 Samuel 19…
Father, You have established a shepherd in northern Nevada. You have deemed that it is not about numbers, for You will leave the ninety-nine to rescue the one. It is not about charisma, wealth, or popularity. It is about Truth and Love.
Fill my brother’s mouth and heart with the grace of 1Samuel 19 that this humble flock will flourish in the riches of Your Spirit. Grant them ears to hear in these final days that they might be rewarded for the diligent study of Your Word. Pour Your Spirit on any one of these who are willing to forsake all to follow You.
Lead them onto paths of righteousness for Your Name’s sake. Raise them above the foolish attempts of this world to save thenselves. Set them in the ark of salvation above the waters of this disintegrating country. As You thunder through the future, gather them into the safety of Your realm of ascended heaven.
Fill their hands with Bema Seat energies to help widows. orphans, and those who cry to You from the depths needing slavation. Activate Your Light in their midst. Set wisdom among them.
You are worthy Lord to receive Glory, and Power. We give You dominion over us.
Amen

I sense the forces overhead, the culmination of evil planning the elimination of all that is Right. I want to cry out like David. I rely upon You. I bow my head but shall not move away from Your Word. Strengthen us like the saints of old who stood in the fire, who faced lions, who lost this world but did not lose You. Gather us up.
Jesus, Yeshua,
Feed us from the Table of Unleavened Bread. Walk with us speaking Words of life. Include us in the details of Your perfection. Wash us.
Holy Ghost,
Direct our actions to reflect our being in the promise of Heavens Host. Encourage our forsaking all but the Hero of our Salvation. Open our eyes to the discovery of hidden sin that we might cast it away. Grasp our hearts. Keep us from wallowing. Make us compelled servants of the Most High. Send us onto the path of the searching for You. We sit at the Gate to receive You.
For those who come here, amen the answer to their needs. We celebrate Your goodness.
For the men, cover them.

Father,
We press on. We thank You for the Life of Jesus Who sets the pace. Under His yoke, we walk willingly. Under His care we rest.
We do not want to be like Thomas who doubted because we can not see our prayers answered according to our will. We want to be like Thomas after He touched the risen Lord. Confirm our faith and trust as we surrender each desire that does not conform to You. Blend our desire with Yours until it is seamless and unrecognizable.
We want to bless You through adherence to Your commands. We want to see them delightful, not burdensome. Appropriate them according to our ability. Train our energy to serve You incompleteness.
Thank You for a fresh new day. Holy Spirit, create a new song in our hearts.
Spend us on love. Stretch us.
To those who need a touch or a vision, remind us of Ezekiel and John who saw You. They relay descriptions that barely penetrate our understanding. But YOU EXIST AS YOU ARE and we will join YOU. Have patience with us and give us patience with each other.
For more than we can say, honored ONE, we love YOU less than YOU deserve but with all we have.

Thank you for that song Maryb. I have some challenges to face today, a long drive in bad weather, a feisty cat to get back to my son’s house, etc., up tp nine inches of snow tomorrow for my long trip back. I’ll need something to sing to keep my mind off the peril…I am asking the Lord to put my car in the palm of His hand and fly me on eagles wings. I’m not a coward, but it takes days to get the knots out of my muscles.
Father,
You see us already in heaven. It is we who can’t see that far ahead, but only the road in front of us , so we ask for Your holding hand that we might just rest in being Your child. We cherish Your knowing our weakness that trembles in its trust. Give us today’s portion of peace to see the difference You make in our lives. You’re the Lamp onto our feet and Light unto our path. We can see.
Bless my dear brothers and sisters here today with deep breaths of personal comfort of Your saving and sustaining grace. Throw the memories of Your promises throughout their thoughts today. Give them healing delights that encourage their faith decision toward You. Sing over them with love.
We praise the All-Mighty Lover of our souls,

Been a while since I’ve been here…but still keeping an eye on the place.
Appreciate your faithfulness, too. Hope all is well with each of you – CHPH, SisterD, MaryB, AEA and everyone else.
I would appreciate prayer for continued weight loss and faithfulness on my part regarding daily exercise and diet, and also for finding a 2nd job – especially for getting going on that front, and faithfulness in doing it. I’ve been really lazy on that front and in that regard I’ve hurt myself.

Keep BrianD exercising his love for You as You love him continually. Feed his spirit all the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Allow him to suffice in the fact that You are preparing a place for him. Give him the motivation to walk toward another form of employment in which he will be able to not only earn a living, but bring others to the Living God.
As You provide for him, provide him with the Resource that raises him to Yourself. Equip his thoughts with direction and purpose. Boost him to serve You and others in whatever place on the face of this earth You choose. You have chosen. Lead him there…
Congratulations on your victories so far BrianD. We are cheering in your corner and anticipate the wonderful things God will achieve through you. I will even pray the Lord will provide your new wardrobe when its time.

You are the Beginning and the End, The incomprehensible I AM, we are dust. You sent propitiation to the undeserving, infallible teaching to the indifferent, unmeasurable love to the heartless. Who are we that One so Great should love us?
You are magnifcance multiplied, holder of order, wisdom untainted, mercy abounding. We are dust made in Your Image, but little in Your Likeness. We cannot even fathom our useless imitation. But You love us more than we can grasp in our atom of intelligence. You created for us, that we might glimpse Your handiwork and discover eternity uncorrupted. Unveil our eyes.
We admit our reluctance, stupidity,selfishness, carelessness, ingratitude. And yet we love You too. Our love is reckless, seedy, and unclean. We live in distraction and compilcation, still we grope for what is noble, and true and pure. We find scraps of You and think we have treaure. We have not touched the Jewel of WHO YOU ARE.
But we wait. For we know You have promised. We feed on Your Truth.
Sustain us Lord. We are the weakend by corruption.
We reach past our failure. Have Your way with us.
We implore with prayed intention to have more of You and less of us.

Limit our interferences. Set us aside from the world. We will heal from its corruption. Keep us in the purified area that does not entangle us with sin.
Give us dove like qualities but keen discernment to see when we are being dragged along. Cut the cords that do us harm.
Release Maryb from the merry-go-round of ignorance where her body’s needs are concerned. Bring an educated, annointed doctor into her life the will settle her flesh. Settle her spirit on You and not the dependency of trial and error. Brush Your hem against her illness.
For those here who want more of You, let them trade the fullness of their day for every moment with You. Override busy-ness with the being about the business of our Father.
With what remains, we give it all to You. Give us a fresh start.

Today I read Isaiah 12 and in it are instructions of things to do. As I have a bit of time on my hands today, I shall do one of those things which is to declare His works.
It was suggested that a small group of ladies I associate with, read works that we have written for the entertainment of people at a local nursing home. Present were seven readers and about thirty audience members an a few staff on hand. I should mention, God was there quietly abiding. Eighty five percent of the elderly attending were in wheel chairs sleeping.
We began sharing some of our work. One of these women was disconcerted because so many were sleeping. I told her that God can reach into the place of their hearts where we can’t even see and to just do what we came to do.
My God-given talent is poetry and song writing. When my turn began, I gave a small testimony of how the Lord saved me and then read a poem about redemption and grace, but as I was about to leave the micophone God was impressing me to sing the first verse of Amazing Grace.
I didn’t really want to because my voice I knew would be less than equal to the task, but I know better than to ignore a directive from the Lord. So I apologized, told them I believed this is what the Lord wanted me to do, closed my eyes, and began to sing. It was shoddy singing but when I was finished, I opened my eyes and thanked them.
When all the readings were over, one my fellow writers came over with a cup of coffee and told me something she observed that amazed her. She said that as I was singing, several of the old people who we thought were all asleep began to raise their heads. When I finished, they let them drop again.
I can’t help but wonder what they heard so that they had to look, or if in their depth of aloneness how God might have ministered to them, or what connection they needed to make with the words sung, or if they just needed to know …”I once was lost but now am found”… was blind but now I see. God did not forget them.
I serve an underestimated God. So I take this little moment with you to declare His glory.

The Lord took me to Psalm 11 today. He said He wanted me to “see”.
I saw that He is trustworthy. I saw that this country, this world, is losing its foundations of righteousness. The plans of the “high places” are to undermine all that is spiritually valuable according to God’s Word. They poise, aim, shoot. But they also forget there is the One Holy God looking at their deeds and there is a penealty waiting for the unrepented.
His eyes are on us. His Face is toward right action.
This God that we love,
Cleanse our way. Let us shine in the spreading darkness. Make us Your tools of righteousness. The path is narrowing. Set our feet on Mt. Zion. Let us be a light on a hill.

If there are any prayer warriors out there, could you agree with me in prayer on this front:
Lord,
Our church is under pressure from several different sides. We don’t mind the breaking of vessels that You might reshape them for a higher purpose, but Lord, the enemy hates that we are reviving in our love for You and so we are being attacked. Keep us from the darts of the enemy. Be our shield and source of strength.
You have the details in view and we trust our future to You. Pour the Balm of Gilead upon us. For what may come, we bless Your Name. We bow not in despair, but in homage to Your unfailing grace.

Thank you AEA. I agree with your prayer. Things may look dire at the moment, but Scripture says, “weeping may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning”.
One of our pastors was told he if full of cancer. He is a “seniors pastor”. Another one was served divorce papers by his wife. Nothing is beyond a miracle. Our Lord reigns. But as you know being a pastor yourself, Satan roams around looking for whom he can devour and his teeth marks are on this place for the moment.
I am grateful for your heart and prayers knowing the cost we pay to serve the Lord. I pray for the holy covering of your church, that they adhere to the Word of Life, and enjoy a pastor who cares for the tending of his flock.
God fill your sanctuary with praise. May He enlarge.

Dear Maryb,
I appreciate your thoughts toward me. I am sorry your health is such an issue.
I know God is in your issues. Anyone who belongs to Him is never without Him. I pray that He will correct the interferences in your body so that you will be able to study, seek and appreciate Him more. I know poor health can be a distraction. It steals our attention away from Him because of the symptoms.
May you find time in your dis-ease to sit with Him in His Word and as you do, may your thoughts flow toward His presence with you. May your mind become fixed on Him so that you forget the troubles of your body. May leisure time come in the comfort of uplifting music that calms you and teaches you about His ways and means of perfect love. May you sit like a prescious lamb in the lap of her Shepherd.
Watch your diet Mary, your food and entertainment diet. These things have an affect on us.

My 5 year old grand daughter was riding with her other grandfather. They pasted a church that sits far off the road and is fairly new. It does not look like a church particularly but some how she knew it was. She said,
“Papaw, do you go to that church?” He said, “no honey.” She said , “Well, you need to go to my church and learn about baby Jesus.” I don’t know what he answered, but he told his son-her Father- about it. Neither man is a believer.
I am struck by her boldness and her honesty. Also by his sharing it with his son. When she told me about it I told her how very happy I was that she did it. I told her we would be prayer partners about his coming to church, knowing Jesus.
Most of her Dad’s family are lost.
Lord, I ask You for tender, pure obedience to listen to and obey that still small voice as she did. There is work to be done and time is quickly going by for us. Thank You for this sweet girl who loves You so. Protect her from the religious and keep her joyous and free in You. Protect her child’s simole faith. Help us to teach her Your precepts and draw her to search You as she grows. Place lovers of You in her path all her days. May we learn from a child and return to that simple faith. Forgive us for getting so cold and complicated. T

Ah! Thursday morning, time for a Sacred Retreat.
Sister D,
I just got a newsletter that resonates with me. I’ve seen the results of children’s prayers.
A Prayer Secret
Interested in seeing more prayer answered in your life? TV evangelists urge you with great emotion to send them money so God will answer you. Do you really think that is true? Sometimes we think answered prayer depends on how many people we can get to pray for us, perhaps thus overwhelming God. Often we believe that if we could just be a little more “holy” it will move God.
Might there be a simpler way? I think so.
Ask a child to pray for you. Why? A child knows only to believe. Their prayers are unaffected and simple. We know that a child has God’s attention and a representative in Heaven. Plus, you will greatly affirm that child in his relationship with God. It all sounds good to me.

Sister D,
I also know of a hard hearted heathen drunk, druggie that spent far more time and resources at the bar than home.
His wife got saved unbeknownst to him.
She and one of her sneaky christian friends started praying that God would touch him so that he would not only allow her and their young son to go to church, but that he would attend with them once in a while.
(To make a long story shorter,) God engineered a series of events that caused him to commit to going to church with his wife and son for a few months.
I’m joining with you, your granddaughter and CHPH in prayers for these men. (I can hardly wait for the rest of this story.)
PS Now this woman is expected to go to church all the time because that is expected of pastor’s wives.

Psalm 113
Praise the Lord!
Praise, O ye servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name of the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore!
From the rising of the sun to its setting,
the name of the Lord is to be praised!
The Lord is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens!
Who is like the Lord our God,
who is seated on high,
who l looks far down
on the heavens and the earth?
He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people.
He gives the barren woman a home,
making her the joyous mother of children.
Praise the Lord!

May we be extreme in what delights YOU as You are the God of our Salvation. Let this aroma give us peace.

Hey CHPH, AEA, MaryB, Sister D, and everyone else.
Great to see everyone here. I apologize for not being around lately…I’ve been lacking in my responsibilities here (I tapped out a response on my phone, but I couldn’t get it to post. Hopefully this will take).
Keep me in general prayer…second job, getting stuff paid, church, etc. And direction from God for my life, as well as walking in integrity and holiness.
If anyone needs me for anything blog-related, email me at briandmailATgmailDOTcom, or post something on Phoenix Preacher.
I’ll check back later.

Thank you AEA and CHPH.
Please pray for me. My spiritual father died this week. He has been my dear friend for over 30 years. I celebrate that he is with our Lord and reunited with his beloved Jane. I grieve for our separation and for his family, most of whom are lost. His daughters have not even contacted us to tell us he passed. There does not appear that there is going to be any kind of service or obit. I am heart broken. He deserved the dignity of a memorial.
One of my boys is home for the weekend. His marriage is in trouble.
2009 has been a monster year. I am weary.
O Lord…

You favor us Lord with trials and tests that surpass our estimate of what seems to be our limit. But our faith Lord stands strong and ready for every encounter ordained by the All-Encompassing God of strength and glory Whose Ways are not our ways but form us into His Image. We bow before the Knowledge of the Most High Who holds it all together.
Hold Sister D to the Trust of the future pending. Cover her with Whispering promises of victory over all that is not of You. Fill her with the undeniable Presence of Your transforming words that speak life into those who will hear her. Press into her heart an outcome of joy. You are the Detail we rest upon. You undergird us with unspeakable grace and spread overcoats of mercy over our weaknesses. Before Your feet is our home.
Father,
Take the trouble out of the marriage. Place Your Holy Spirit in the midst of their relationship. Destroy the works of selfishness, poor communication that breaks, not heals, revive true love that centers on You, and place Biblical obedience as a desire to reunite and revive a mutual repect between the couple. Adhere this request to Your own will Oh, Lord that we might see the power of Holy bondage unbroken and refreshed. Place the power of Your shed blood on the vows of this couple.
For the gentleman who died Lord, He is not in the grave. He is not at the grave. He is in the Sweet By and By loving his Saviour. Let the songs that rise from Sister D’s heart be his sweet memorial. Then overpower his children until they fall at the Altar of Redemption in acceptence of their salvation.
We do not need to see to believe and so we will rest here. You are greater than our prayers. We lay it down loving Father knowing You do beyond what we can ask.
A Holy kiss for my Sister D
Amen

A Memorial to a Special Man
We celebrate this man in that his faith was evidence that God walks and talks with us. We rejoice that he no longer needs to wait for the reward of seeing his Beloved Face to face. We count as precious knowing such people who in the face of adversity or neglect can rise above circumstance and love to the fullest without small measure. We thank God for his extending hands that blessed and held dear the value of enlarged giving of oneself.
A sparrow does not fall to the ground without God’s notice. We know that the reception of this man into the Kingdom was a time of great and continued rejoicing, that the drawing of his end here led to the treasure attained There. We thank God and we praise Him for having known and created this man before the foundation of time and we wait for the reunion of all saints. With this memory we leave him in the Hands of His Creator and we will celebrate in the joy of knowing exactly where he is because of Who he chose.
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love,
Yes they’ll know we are Christians by our love….

My King,
I come in the freedom to say whatever I want. I am not afraid to say I love You more than anything or anyone. It is my absolute joy to extol Your power. Be my constant Overcomer. I want the white stone with a new name on it. I want You to name me.
I call myself anashamed of You. I call You Above all Circumstances in all Majesty.
I am humble in Your acceptance of me. Give me today’s assignment that I might please You. I live for Your pleasure. I have lost interest in the offerings of this world.
You love is my garment. Your heart my treasure. Your will my crown. Your touch my jewel. I am rich with the desire for Your presence. “It is Finished” my touchstone. You justify my existence. Increase my awe.
For we who come here, invigorate our steps of obedience. Give us exampling opportunities to light situations honoring You. Sanctify our acts before men.
Cleanse our reactions through Your Holy Spirit. Filter our self.
Excellent Jesus,
be our uninterrupted friend that we might purify ourselves before the Father’s eyes to be like You.

HI Everyone
Briand praying for you….
I am going to share something on this thread. but please do not mention it on any other blog. it is just for the scared retreat.
I have be told I have cervical cancer and have started radiation treatments. i have had two weeks of treatments. and it is causing a lot of pain in my body. and nausea.
This why I have not been around much, I have to admit I have been really down about all this. surgery is not an option right now because of several factors.
Well anyway prayers would be appreciated.

Father,
Show Mary YOUR Way to deal with this health issue. As she works within the generally accepted methods for treatment, lead her to healthier alternatives. Give her God’s cure for cancer. Your rod and Your staff will comfort her. Show her the difference between the power of men and the power of God to heal. Keep her in Your perfect peace and give her body ease.
Keep her mind stayed on You. She is Your lamb. Tend her.
Thank You Lord.
For Brian D,
I ask that You keep him in Your covering, molding him into the man You created him to be. Set Your footsteps deeply in which he should walk that he might find the Treasure You have laid up for him. Bring joyful ascents into his walk that he might know You more and more Whom he will serve for the rest of his days.
You have planned ahead of him. Allow him to live in faithful love to fulfill his talents.
When You lay him down to sleep, let him drift into the soul of contentment knowing he listened to You throughout the trials and successes of the day with You as his Leader and may he give You glory. Use his intellegence and surrendered heart to lead others to their slavation. Provide for him.
Thank you Lord.
For all others who read, may they find more of Your identity in their actions.

Lord,
You have reserved a fire for the wicked and the fallen from heaven. You will end this poluted creation with fire. But You have saved us. Help us walk as redeemed by God. There is not time for petty complaints, selfish division, murky understanding and false projections of Your Word. It is time to be clear and right.
We celebrate Your Truth set before us in Scripture. We yearn for the culmination of all that was written. But time is not complete. Cleanse the use of our time to make it effeciently used for Your Name’s sake that Your Character may peak in our efforts to seek and save the lost. Make Yourself personal through us, winning the victory established by Your Will.
Cover our lack. Speak into existence the purification of our hearts that beat toward one goal;Your honor. Curb our waste.

For the readers here, allow us to walk in the Spirit through the fullness of this day. Let us see the difference in our attitudes and reactions that we might learn and rejoice.
We pray for our country and leaders, the peace of Israel, according to Your will, for each other, and the severe needs and difficulties we face.

Yes Lord, we know You can do all things. Yes Lord, Your will be done. Yes Lord, we love You. Yes Lord, You are God.
Even so Lord Jesus, come.
We do not need to look at the desperation of the times. We can see through Your Word of Prophecy that this was coming. Instead Lord We look at You. Fix our gaze past the tumoils of this world, our troubles, and the false hopes that arise from promises that can’t be kept, nor were meant to be kept, that we might set our future eternal glory on Our Lord Jesus Christ Who never fails; nor is His arm short, not does He falter or fake. He is the One True Finisher of our faith. Hail all praise to His Name alone.
His worthiness out sums the total of all creation. He Was, Is, and Is To Come our Redeemer Who has loved us from the beginning to end, our Alpha Omega, Aleph and Tav. There is none like Him furious in True justice, submitted to the Father on our behalf, grace upon grace in patience and forebearance. We shall live for What He has done. We cannot repay such love. We shall accept this pure gift. We shall consume His Word in memory of Him. We will walk through time praising Him. May our flesh life fall away.
He endures our falls. He carries us. He corrects without condemnation. He is my safety. I am less than undeserving. My hope comes from Him. He sees me with eyes of understanding when I reach to Him. I am complete in Him. I am satisfied with Him. He reigns with or without me. I will go to Him and be still and know that He is God. I shall not want. HE IS.
Keep us Lord.

Hello my friends. I am sorry for the long absence. Circumstances are such that I had my internet disconnected. My husband’s hours were frozen and then his hours cut, so we fell to economizing. Such are the indications of the temperature of the world. I may be able to come only once a week.
But there is one thing this world cannot touch and that is His love for us, His surrounding power to be actively present in all our situations, and the fact that on occasion I will find a place where I can post my prayers here.
But my presence here so often is not that important. What exists is a bond of love between us that includes the power of the Holy Spirit to awaken in us a symptom that will compel us to pray for one another even when we don’t know why this divine message comes to us. And we can be faithful to do so.
And so shall I be prepared to do so even among my daily prayers for you. I am grateful that my posting here is just interrupted and not terminated
Maryb.
I have your name posted on the Youth group board and the prayer warriors of the room are praying for you. We don’t know how God will answer, but we do know He is attentive and answering. I pray you will not have to endure more than is necessary to be healed through and through.
AEA,
Dear brother,
Wolves are abounding taking out even seasoned pastors. I pray the Holy Spirit’s protection overshadows you and all God has entrusted to you. May the Word ring out in every situation you encounter to keep your walk unstumbled and pure in His sight. May your hand be on His Staff and Rod.
Brian D,
I take the communion of grape juice and a cracker every morning to remember…as He asked us to. As I do so I will remember you and your full kindness to me all this time and will be asking God to bless you and guide you into His finished work for you. Keep your eyes on the coming King of Kings in whose Name you were sanctified. I love you dear brother. We are kindred.
Sister D.
You are my joy in the Overcoming One. I will be looking for you eagerly in heaven. We sill sing together and hug each other. And then we will laugh for the joy of seeing all God carried us over. Bless you dear heart.

Father, have mercy on us. This season is heavy and long. So many hurting and struggling. So many weighed down.
Thank You that we can look up to You. That our joy is not here. That You draw together a group of strangers in this world who will spend eternity together praising You and loving one another. That even now our hearts are one in You. There is no understanding in this world of how this can be but we are not of this world. It does not fit. How we can draw strength from one another and feel united is a wonder. How there can be encouragement and empowerment through these prayers is only because of Your great power and love.

Dear CHPH, you bless this undeserving soul. Thank you for your encouragement and your faithful prayers. Lord, You have clothed her in words that give hope, peace and joy to those around her. Jehovah-Jireh, help them in these times. Continue to make a way for her to minister to us as she praises You. Thank You for the beauty of her life pouring over into ours.
Maryb, praying for you in this trial. Lord, keep her eyes and mind on You. May she dwell on the truth of Your desire to love her. Fill her with hope. Pour Your peace over her as she walks this trial out. Take the sickness from the treatments away so she can continue to make music and teach other to make music also. Wash her in Your tender covering of mercy. Give her a new song.
Praying for AEA and BrianD. May our Abba bless you and provided in this season. May he give you new dreams and new ways to accomplish what He has in store for you.

To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.
(Refrain)
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
Refrain
Great things He has taught us, great things He has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
(Refrain)
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.

Father,
Bring Your healing hands on Mary’s body. Brush the hem of Your garment across wound. Feed her life giving words in her quiet time to refresh her soul and make a way for her to rejoice though weeping may endure for the night. Build her stamina that she may endure and set her sights on You. Anoint her with the oil of gladness even in her trial. Give her the way out.
Gird Sister D with arms of strength and compassion that do not weaken or refuse. Bless her in the mutitude or her praises. Unite her to the will of Jesus speaking “Not my will, but Yours be done.” Cover her actions with lillies of the field. Be her everlasting completion.
Make AEA wisdom entrenched in right action. Fill his cup with the voice of uncomprimised affection for His Saviour Jesus. Send him mighty unfallen men who have not bowed the knee to any other god. Chain him to the gates of heaven that he might herald all he sees about to come. Equip his saints.
Allow Dusty and I a moments reprieve to sit under Your Throne like children and console each other. Let us rest in Your safe haven. Fill our arms with another measure of wheat and Living Water to extend to the needy. Let us rise in Your presence to obey Your next command.
Hand BrianD his portion. Show hin the fruits of faithfulness and let him partake of Your goodness. Set Your straight direction before him. Link him to Your next desire. We praise You almighty God.
Those who seek You will find You. We offer ourselves.
With one heart toward You Lord, we who come here know. To You be the glory and the impact upon us to serve.
Amen

Father,
Your Spirit is moving. Your eyes search to and fro. You are sending, equipping, enabling, and preparing. We are desiring to serve.
We cast the bread upon the waters. We desire the return of holiness through and throughout this nation. We claim Your Name for Your Name’s sake.
Help us.
Amen

Dusty, so good to see you here. You have taught me much about going
“into the throne room of our Lord in a spirit of thankfulness and worship.”
Praying for you.
Maryb, I pray you get a good report and that you are feeling better each day. Bring healing and wholeness, Lord.
CHPH, I look forward to the day we will sit together at His feet in awe and wonder. You bless me.
Lord,
I pray Your covering and love over those who come here and worship You. Those who post and those who lurk love You. We stand in awe of Your mercy, love, peace, provision. In awe of YOU. Glory, hosanna, praise are Yours and Yours alone. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Glory, glory, glory!!!

Going through the motions
Matthew West
This might hurt, it’s not safe
But I know that I’ve gotta make a change
I don’t care if I break,
At least I’ll be feeling something
‘Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking,
“What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?”
No regrets, not this time
I’m gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I’m finally feeling something
‘Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life
‘Cause I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking,
“What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?”
take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (’cause I don’t wanna go through the motions)
take me all the way (I know I’m finally feeling something real)
take me all the way
I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking,
“What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?”
I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking,
“What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?”
take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go)
take me all the way (through the motions)
take me all the way
I don’t wanna go through the motions

In His presence fully aware we bow among the throng who love Your Name. There is None like You. Pour Your permission into us to love without measure or restraint. Guide us into the paths of righteousness that do not shirk or shudder. We proclaim Truth unashamed. Sterr us away from the tempter who is sublte. Heighten our awareness of his plots. Use us as those who thwart injustice, untruth, and all anti holiness. We offer our lives as sacrificial instruments. We praise YHWH GOD with unashamed lips and deeds. Holy Spirit, drown us in God’s will and pleasure.
My dear sisters,
Your arms of comfort sustain me. I see your lovely feet quietly set in His footprints. The aroma of heaven fills the air around His presence.
Dear brothers,
I know you are fighting the good fight. I pray for your steadfast protection and supernaturally God-given ability to yeild your swords against all false doctrine, manipulation of Scripture, and fruitless example. May the hand of our Lord sustain you in uncomprimising faith.
To all in His reach,
Stay the course. Finish the race. Drink of the Living Water, Eat the Bread of Life.
To all who wonder or do not care,
Come, taste and see that He is Good.
Praise to the High Holy Jesus Who Was, Is, and Is To Come, our Lord of Lords and King of Kings, The Faithful and True Witness, Son of the Living God to Whom belongs wisdom, majesty power and glory now and forever Amen and Amen.
Until next time,
devotedly,

Lord,
Your words are life. We need look no further. The world cannot exist without Your upholding. We do not put our trust in the world. Money cannot save us. Time is wasting, we are wasting time.
For Your glory Lord we desire Your fullness. We beg for true importance. Shovel the meaning of Your Word into our assimilation.
Spirit and Truth, overwhelm our actions. We require Your holiness through our souls.
Come to Me you who are weak and heaven laden and I will give you rest.
Lord, we come.
For those wanting abundant life, Lord give.
Deliver us from evil tendencies, lack of faith, unholy gestures, selfish desire
and unruley spirits.
Cleanse us with Your Word.
You are Given. Jesus, let us endure the race.
You are GOD. In YOU I trust.
Amen

Almighty Father Who sees,
I come to You Sacred God Who looks upon His bride. Our Head, You see Your body at war with its parts. Holy Spirit, we are becoming enemies among ourselves. Brother against brother struggle in the throes of power on earth. Wineskins are being torn, not filled. Holiness is ignored. Wickedness covers the floors of the temple.
Hate and gossip are become bywords by those who pretend at righteousness. Our defense is filled with unaccountable violence against the Kingdom’s peace. We fight for stale bread and tainted waters. Our hearts reflect the accuser’s delight. Our weapons are poised but we miss the mark.
Conviction is not owned by those who ridicule. Repentance is waylaid through self vindication. We starve. Truth is circumvented for the pleasure of superiority.
Come Holy Spirit. Revive the bride who has soiled herself in self adoration. Her oil is lost. Her wick is low with neglect. We are dark.
Cast away the deeds of pretentious followers of sin. Soak the dividers in their own folly. Blow the chaff into the fire. Cleanse us from the gossipers tongue. Feed them their own flesh. Vomit them from Your appointed will.
Have mercy on us Lord and teach us Your way. We defile ourselves with unGodly actions. Come Lord Jesus come.
Save now.
for You are Holy. Your eyes of fire look upon the intents of our heart. Nothing is hid from You. Our sins will find us out. Remove transgressors from Your presence. Pull the plug on those who kindle Your wrath.
To Him Who is able, be glory, power, and dominion. For the vindication.
For LOVE’S sake WHO IS the greatest of these,
Amen

You find us Lord. We are given to wandering. You leave the ninety-nine and we are embraced. you lay us down to sleep. We are covered. no one can take Your place. Peace is our middle name.
For MaryB,
I pray Lord that even though her body rebels, her heart stays steadfast in Your everlasting visage. May she find her strength in the knowledge of Your continual presence preparing a banquet for her. Settle her hope in the coming mansion that surpasses her highest expectation. Call sweetly into her spirit that she might know the coming glory of her everlasting future of wholeness and unequaled love. Make her strangely peaceful throughout the rest of her condition. May she be a marvel to those who see her quiet repose.
For Dusty,
May the Son radiate His composure through every thought deed and reaction that passes through her activity. Maker her a beacon for the straggler who has lost their direction. Simplify her with purifying grace so any feeble soul will not hesitate to ask her of her hope. Strengthen her arms to uphold the family through crisis upon crisis. Do not let her be moved by adversity.
For Sister D
Seal her in commitment that does not tire or weaken. Let her see Your power through eyes of unrelenting love. Raise her to Your level of purpose by revelation of insightful understanding. Empower her with healing words that take the sting out of those fallen by circumstance. Oil her head with gladness.
For all others, hear their prayers. Call out the answers to their pleas with swift exactness in YOUR ability. Fruit their response with holiness in right action. Create us willing.
With love Lord we put ourselves before Your inspection. May we adhere and avail ourselves to every aspect of Your precepts. May our presence be Your pleasure.
Amen

Holy Spirit,
You are the tangible invisibility of God apparent in the way we treat each other. Shout through us today as we send a message to the unbelieving world that YOU EXIST. The crowds of naysayers assemble at the feet of baal the worthless, but we are at the foot of Mount Zion rejoicing proclaiming YOU ARE and ALWAYS WILL BE. To You be perfect glory. Come with an impact Oh God of our salvation. Hosanna…
We shall prevail.

I’ve been growing awhile in soil and wanted to move over to hydroponic gardening considering that winter is coming up. I put together a list of stuff I should get, but given that I’m new I’m thinking there may possibly be individuals who can recommend some excellent goods. Here is what I came up with so far –
Ebb & Flow tray kit from Viagrow
Digital lighting ballast from Lumatek
Lighting hood from Raptor
Hydroponic Nutrients from X Nutrients

Как помнят многие интересующиеся ФЗ-152 «О персональных данных» был принят в далеком 2006 году. Введение Закона в действие продолжительно откладывалось, однако когда-то он вынужден был заработать. 1 июля 2011 это случилось.
Для нас (госконтора, примерно в 20000 лиц в то трудное время) проблема поднялась в 2008 году.
В начальном этапе не чересчур сильно, только потом как в сказке: «Чем дальше, тем страшнее».
Первый шаг — начальные Оргмеры.
— В каждой бумажке типа Заявления появилась вывеска маленькими буковками (дабы оставить минувший размер бланка) — «Выражаю гармония для необходимое использование моих персональных данных, в книга числе в информационных системах».
— В Заявлениях для детские пособия было внесено добавление про несовершеннолетних детей.
— Также были взяты отдельные Заявления с согласием предоставления и передачи данных из других учреждений (Пенсионный Фонд, НПФ т.п.).
Необыкновенно обильно бумаг и вовсе маловато техники
Другой этап — разработка правильной документации.
Наступал 2009 год и было известно, сколько Положение снова отложат. Финансирования нет. Никто отдельно не торопится. Можно заниматься документацию. Вышестоящая контора дала образцы следующих документов:
Предначертание о назначении должностных лиц, ответственных за защиту информации ограниченного доступа, не содержащей государственной тайны;
Отношение относительный определении контролируемой зоны, в которой расположены узлы автоматизированной системы предназначенной ради обработки информации ограниченного доступа, не содержащей государственно тайны;
Приказ о запрещении обработки информации ограниченного доступа для не аттестованных объектах информатизации
Инструкцию сообразно эксплуатации средств защиты информации объекта вычислительной техники;
Инструкцию сообразно установке нового и модификации используемого программного обеспечения на автоматизированной системе обрабатывающей информацию ограниченного доступа;
Инструкцию сообразно организации антивирусной защиты для автоматизированной системе обрабатывающей информацию ограниченного доступа;
Инструкцию администратору информационной безопасности автоматизированной системы, обрабатывающей информацию ограниченного доступа;
Инструкцию по внесению изменений в списки пользователей и наделению их полномочиями доступа к ресурсам автоматизированной системы обрабатывающей информацию ограниченного доступа;
Инструкцию сообразно организации парольной защиты автоматизированной системы;
Инструкцию по организации резервного копирования данных автоматизированной системы обрабатывающей информацию ограниченного доступа;
Инструкцию пользователя автоматизированной системы.
Матрицу доступа к защищаемым ресурсам автоматизированной системы;
Технический свидетельство для АС;
Журнал учета допуска к работе в автоматизированной системе обрабатывающей информацию ограниченного доступа;
Книга учета и выдачи машинных носителей информации предназначенных для хранения информации ограниченного доступа, не содержащей государственной тайны;
Журнал учета средств защиты информации;
Форму Заявки для внесение пользователей АС;
Форму Акта проведения технических работ на объектах информатизации АС;
Список сведений конфиденциального характера;
Перечень защищаемых информационных ресурсов;
Изображение технологического процесса обработки информации в выделенной локальной вычислительной узы;
Схему коммутации выделенной локально вычислительной силок;
Меню лиц, допущенных к самостоятельной работе в АС.
Третий остановка — закупка технических средств защиты информации.
Правильнее сказать, что закупала головная контора, мы потом единственно забирали. В результате получились:
— Далласы для рабочие станции
— Випнет координатор чтобы защищенного доступа по IP-MPLS каналу к вышестоящей конторе.
— Глушилки
— Проведена сертификация Windows Server (здесь подобное обсуждается)
Четвертый остановка — умственно-физические работы.
Защищаемая автоматизированная порядок должна иметься защищена и физически. Тут весьма удачно подвернулся переезд отдела, работающего с персональными данными для другой этаж. Данный часть оказался в ограниченном помещении, один из кабинетов отобрали перед серверную. В результате с этажа на маршрутизатор выходят два кабеля (основной и резервный). Компьютера форматнули, установили чистую обновленную винду, офис, антивирь, рабочую прогу. В октябре 2009 приехали ребята с Питера. Установили Далласы, глушилки, настроили випнет, сделали все замеры, откорректировали документацию.
Пятый остановка — завершение.
В конце октября 2009 собралась внутренняя забота сообразно защите персональных данных. Были назначены ответственные лица, которые должны были изза неделю подготовить документы и провести работы по защите персональных данных (те самые, сколько перечислены со второго этапа). Изза неделю ответственные безвыездно сделали. И комиссия с радостью приняла защищенную систему в эксплуатацию. Оживленно был получен свидетельство на три года, для чем всетаки и кончилось.
Конечно, что для самом деле кончилось вдобавок не все.
К примеру защищенная порядок является единым программно-техническим комплексом. Мышь не поменяешь. Зато единожды в год дозволительно вызвать аттестатора для проверки соблюдения всех показателей защиты. А аттестатор имеет власть изменять имеющиеся документы. Так сколько мышь поменять реально.
Начинать и современная мнение электронного межведомственного взаимодействия. Идея хорошая. Вот лишь, не предусмотренная предыдущей концепцией защиты персональных данных. Беспричинно сколько если реализуем — будем заниматься аттестацию снова.
Согласно изменениям, внесённым законом № 363-ФЗ от 27 декабря 2009 возраст, операторы персональных данных должны привести свои системы обработки персональных данных, запущенные до 1 января 2010 года, в соответствие с законом прежде 1 января 2011 года. Федеральным законом через 23 декабря 2010 возраст № 359-ФЗ «О внесении изменения в статью 25 федерального закона „О персональных данных“» срок приведения информационных систем персональных данных, созданных прежде 1 января 2011 года, в сходство с требованиями закона № 152-ФЗ – не позднее 1 июля 2011 года. Последние изменения были внесены федеральным законом № 261-ФЗ посредством 25.07.2011. Этим законом была уточнена страна действия Федерального закона «О персональных данных», используемые в нём основные понятия, принципы и условия обработки персональных данных. Существенно переработаны действующие законодательные нормы, касающиеся трансграничной передачи персональных данных, мер пропорционально обеспечению безопасности персональных данных наличность их обработке, прав и обязанностей оператора, взаимоотношений оператора и субъекта персональных данных.
Вступил в силу правило О персональных данных 152-ФЗ
