Another Godsminute.com message....

John L007 Tract Minister — Sun, 27 May 2012 13:53:42 GMT

Jesus said; "Come to Me, all you who labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn
from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
( Matthew 11:28-30 *NKJV )

As you already know, it is hard to find any rest with so many
trials, tribulations, conflicts, and burdens in our lives today.
However when we follow Jesus, He will provide us with rest and
make our burdens lighter. For; The LORD upholds all who
fall, And raises up all who are bowed down.
( Psalms 145:14 )

So when you feel stressed: Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you; He will never let the righteous
fall. After all; God is our refuge and strength, A
very present help in trouble.
( Psalms 55:12 ) & ( Psalms 46:1 )

Also remember that; Blessed is the man who
perseveres under trial, because when he has stood
the test, he will receive the crown of life that God
has promised to those who love him.
( James 1:12 )

Therefore; Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God
of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles.
Amen. ( 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 )

Love one another...as Jesus loves us!

John L007 Tract Minister — Wed, 16 May 2012 11:47:29 GMT

Now these three remain: faith, hope and
love. But the greatest of these is love.
( 1 Corinthians 13:13 *NIV )

Dear John,
Faith comes from hearing the message, and the
message is heard through the word of Christ.
( Romans 10:17 ) Therefore it is written; Be faithful,
even to the point of death, and I will give you the
crown of life. ( Revelations 2:10 )

Hope is something we all need, for; Hope deferred
makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a
tree of life. ( Proverbs 13:12 ) Therefore; May the
God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you
trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit. ( Romans 15:13 )

As for Love, well; This is love: not that we loved
God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an
atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since
God so loved us, we also ought to love one
another. ( 1 John 4:10-11 ) So; Dear friends, let
us love one another, for love comes from God.
Everyone who loves has been born of God and
knows God. Whoever does not love does not
know God, because God is love. ( 1 John 4:7 )

In closing, John, remember that a life filled with love, hope
and faith, receives the fruit of the spirit, and; the fruit of
the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control. Amen. ( Galatians 5:22 )

Happy Mother's Day!

John L007 Tract Minister — Sun, 13 May 2012 13:26:27 GMT

This message is dedicated to all Mother's

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

For this is what the Lord says; As a
mother comforts her child, so will I
comfort you;
( Isaiah 66:13 *NIV )

Dear John,
We can not measure the tremendous love that God
has for His Children in human terms. However, I do
believe the closest thing on Earth to that great love,
is the love a Mother has for her child!

Therefore, on this day we honor that special lady
in our life, our Mother. So; May your father
and mother be glad; may she who gave you
birth rejoice! ( Proverbs 23:25 ) and may she
be filled with God's Love, Hope, Faith, and Peace today
and everyday!

The following was sent to me by one of our Brother's-
In-Christ, some time ago. I feel that it is appropriate to
share it with you today. It is called;

Why are you crying, Mom?

"Why are you crying?" he asked his Mom. "Because I'm a
woman" she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His
Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will"..........

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother
seem to cry for no reason? "All women cry for no reason"
was all his dad could say........

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering
why women cry...

Finally he put in a call to GOD; when GOD got on the phone
the man said, "GOD, why do women cry so easily?"
and GOD said.......

When I made woman, she had to be special. I made her
shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the World;
yet, gentle enough to give comfort....

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the
rejection that many times comes from her children......

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when
everyone else gives up and take care of her family through
sickness and fatigue without complaining......

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and
all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very
badly...

This same sensitivity helps her to make a child's boo-boo
feel better and shares in their teenagers anxieties and
fears.......

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults
and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.....

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts
his wife, but, sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve
to stand beside him unfalteringly.....

I gave her tears to shed. They are hers to use whenever she
needs them. They are her secret strength. They make her
more like ME.....

The above is from www.godsminutes.com, Go to there site when you can.
On The Topic of Mothers Day, Word's, poems or other ways could not express my Love for my Family and the ways my Mother has been a helped me all these years of mine. I admit I don't understand it all, its really not ours to figure out, however, God's desire is for us to grow together, not apart. While my love at times may not have been expressed in ways others thought it should have been and at the time they thought it should have. You have to consider alot of factors. The times things happened, ours desires and dreams we had for ourself, things change over the years, but may our love for one another never grow old. God's Dream for us is so much greater, Even if we could only stop and give time to each other, other than just going to church together, most of that time is spent direct toward Jesus, our Savior, He is first if we make Him first. The Bible say's to "Seek first the Kingdom Of God and all these things shall be added unto you. I did not not know that verse early on. However it does not delete the fact the table has to be set, the food has to be prepared and the most importantly the provision for those things. As a child I hope I did things which were pleasing and loving in my Mother's site, I Thank the Lord Mom took me to church most of all, While at times we didn't go every week, we enjoyed each other with friends and family. Some Sundays we enjoyed drives around town and eatiing out, now some of those friends we do not see as often. Because we have forgotten some of the important things. We are not thinking most of all. They say love is blind, since some of the experiences I have had, my eyes are wide open so to speak. There are things I do my best not to do or say anymore, and believe me others are quick to judge in the things we say or haven't done or said in the past. Today is always a new day, I myself wonder if am I applying what I may have learned yesterday to make today better. I can't do the things God wants you to do for yourself, or the things you have brought about as your responsibility. I did not bring myself into this world, at the time I was my mother and father already had 10 years of experience with my sister. Yes God says in the word He knew us before He formed us in our Mother's womb. I was a God idea as well as you. Before my Mother or Father thought about having a Baby. My mother said she dedicated me to the Lord when I was born. Sometimes I wonder about things at those times what happened and why. I was born in Selma Alabama, I hope I write this with Conviction, I love all people regardless of ethnic origin or color. I have over time learned about Jesus and His Love for you and me. I love God above all, and family and friends come into the picture in that order. I am not everywhere for my friends, my family, those I attend church with. As I finish this post there is so much to say because my heart is heavy in so many ways you just would not know. As today and tomorrow comes most of all I wish you Love as Dolly Parton said in Her song "I will always love you"! I have shared over the years the love of Jesus for you and me through Tracts, on the web and things I have made such as positive T-shirts and Refrigerator Magnets. I have been through so much in my time here, tomorrow may never come in this time and space, however, it is still in God's hands. The world is searching it begins and ends with Jesus! Lets point our children toward the Savior Christ Jesus! When it comes down to things, alot really doesn't matter but our love for one another. Don't let money get in the way of things for the ones you love, until you have walked in someone elses shoes you don't know how or why they respond as they do. If I could have given alot of material things I wished and prayed I could give, it is not material things, allthough that is a expression, Hopefully it would have been from the heart, in whatever form it would have been or is to come in the future. Share love, and the things that matter most Faith, Hope and Love! Mom I do Love you! Lets forget yesterday, remember the good times. Forgive me for things I should have said or done, or other things I wished I could have provided. At this point I am relying on the Lord for all things, yes I have stuff, however the most I wish I could give is Agape Love, the love found in the light of Jesus, The maker of all things good! Mom you have been a gift to me! if You can only comprehend His love and mine! After all the grass doesn't get cut without me or someone else behind the mower, and I know the cooking doesn't get done either or the housework. Of course you haven't asked me to cook or clean, other than what I might have done even in those areas. When it comes down to it all, I can only give my love, and the love of Jesus, found in the bible. Happy Mother's day! Be blessed in every way! Everyone have a great mothers day! and attend the Church of your Choice! I would like to be with all my Family! miss ya'll! Heather, Jimmy, Sydney, Analise, Sandra and Buddy and to James Counts,- I hope your operation on your hip goes well, My love and prayers to you all! God Bless you!
By: John Lewis Rasmussen, online minister, and Photographer, and hopefully considered a friend to others always, and a friend who is always and has been a friend to us all, Jesus!. The story If I am still here is yet to be written, May your pains be few, and the love in your heart be kindled by the fires of God's love! now and always!

To everything there is a season, A time
for every purpose under heaven.
( Ecclesiastes 3:1 *NKJV )

Dear John,
In this fast paced World we live in, patience has become a
lost art! We may even think that God isn't hearing our prayers
because they aren't answered instantly.

When you find yourself feeling that way remember to; Rest
in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.
(Psalms 37:7)

Therefore John, why not slow down and practice patience,
as well as, take time to enjoy the simple things in life like just::

TAKING TIME
Take time to think...It is the source of
power.

Take time to play...It is the secret of
perpetual youth.

Take time to read...It is the fountain of
wisdom.

Take time to pray...It is the greatest power
on Earth.

Take time to love and be loved...It is a God-
given privilege.

Take time to be friendly...It is the road to
happiness.

Take time to laugh...It is the music of the
soul.

Take time to give...It is too short a day to be
selfish.

Take time to work...It is the price of
success.

Take time to do charity...It is the key to
Heaven.

Though our hearts are sad, God is smiling!

John L007 Tract Minister — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:53:31 GMT

This post is to the recent passing of Hardy Walker a 81' Grissom Graduate and Alumnae of The University of Alabama and football player for them as well as His hometown school in Huntsville Alabama. Hardy is named the "Gentle Giant". It is said in the local newspaper this morning, His name reflected His character and He will be missed by family as well as His classmates. I remember many a friday night taking pictures of Him and His teamates playing football at our hometown stadium. I have pictures in my scrapbook of Him and His teamates to remind me of a kind individual that made a difference on and off the field. Today God is smiling as He recieved a beloved child of His to His eternal home on high. We to long for that great reunion with Him and others we have lost over the previous years, I to pray for such a time as that and some day soon we will all see Jesus! To those left here on earth, God's love and comfort is close. I know first hand with beloved family members and friends I have lost in the past. Let the Love of God comfort you and see you through whatever you may be enduring in your life at this time. God knows it all and how to heal our hearts in time.
May I leave you with these Qoutes:

Are you aware that the Father takes delight in you and that He thinks of you all the time?. - Jack Frost

How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! if i should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with Thee. Psalm 139: 17-18 KJV

We encounter God in the ordinariness of life, not in the search for spiritial highs and extraordinary, mystical experiences, but in our simple presence in life. - Brennan Manning

Only God gives true peace - a quiet gift He sets within us just when we think we've exhausted our search for it.

We think God's love rises and fall's with our performance. It doesn't...He loves you for whose you are: you are His child. - Max Lucado

Jesus Love and mine! J.R. on Tract today! or until we see Jesus! Have a blessed day! Jesus made it and everyday, rejoice and be glad! www.jrsblogspot.com

like sunshine, holidays, feeling loved, special friendships,

sunsets and feel loved, cared about, and accepted, remember that
in life, although there is some bad stuff, good things really do happen too.
And then Smile!

A Very Present Help.....

John L007 Tract Minister — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:46:09 GMT

He's Helping me now - This moment,
Though I may not see it or hear,
Perhaps by a friend far distant,
Perhaps by a stranger near.
Perhaps by a spoken message,
Perhaps by the printed word;
In Ways that I know and know not,
I have the help of the Lord.

He's keeping me now - this moment,
However I need it most,
Perhaps by a single angel,
Perhaps by a mighty host,
Perhaps by the chain that frets me,
Or the walls that shut me in;
In ways that I know not,
He keeps me from harm and sin.

He's guiding me now this moment,
In pathways easy or hard,
Perhaps by a door wide open,
Perhaps by a joy withholden,
Perhaps by a gladness given;
In ways that I know not,
He's leading me up to heaven.

He's using me now - this moment,
And whether I go or stand,
Perhaps when He stays my hand,
Perhaps by a word in season,
Perhaps by a silent prayer;
In ways that I know and know not,
His labor of love I share.

Day after Easter Sunday Prayer.....

John L007 Tract Minister — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 12:33:25 GMT

Hope you had a great Easter Sunday Celebration of Our Lord's Finished Work on the Cross for the Salvation of the World. I had the opportunity over the weekend to spend time with my extended Family in Tennessee. Took Some Great Pictures along the way. I will eventually share them on my Photoblog at www.jrsblogspot.com. Check it out when you can! Now lets get to a prayer I have come across I would like to share with you. It is as follows:

O God of Easter,
God of Resurection power,
Bring heavenly life to our earthbound souls;

Thou, who dids't call Lazarus forth
from his tomb,
Call us from Dead works,
and let our hearts be aglow with glory and power.

Call us out of the tomb of hollow profession,
Of cold creed, and wordy ritual,

And let Thy life abundant permeate and
saturate our stagnant souls,

Assigning joy where there is heaviness of heart,
Bring peace where there is confusion;
bring love where there is bitterness;
And may we henceforth live in the glorious glow of The Life
which that first Easter poured forth upon a world of darkness.

And may we always be mindful of the source of this life-giving power,
and come to Thee regularly to be refilled.

In the Savior's name. Amen.

Author unknown

This time of year renews our hope in all God has ahead,
For we were blessed eternally when Christ rose from the dead.
So may your trust in Him
Remain constant, strong and true,

For He is working out His best as He lives His life in You!
Have a Blessed Day today and always!
Jesus Love and mine!

On The road to Success...

John L007 Tract Minister — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 11:44:29 GMT

The Road to Success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare tire called determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the Land of the Living. Wait for the Lord: be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27; 13-14 NIV

We have been in God's thought from all eternity, and His creative love, His attention never leaves us. -Michael Quoist

Whenever we realize we have not taken advantage of a magnificent opportunity, we are apt to sink into despair. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep in the sweet embrace of Christ, and let us go into the invincible future with Him. Never let the sense of past failure defeat your next step. - Oswald Chambers

The grace of God means something like : Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are here because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can separate us. It is for you I created the universe. I love you! - Fredrick Buechner

Phillippians 4:13 -- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

We are approaching Easter and the reminder of what Jesus Did on the Cross of Calvery for all of mankind. May you sense His Presence and Seek Him and His direction for your life. God is Emannuel - Meaning God is with us! Though He is not here in Body, but at the right hand of God in Heaven, Making intercession for all, He is returning one day! As the word says - Occupy till He comes for you and me! Commit your plans to the Lord and your thoughts will be established! It is Palm Sunday, attend the bible believing Church of your choice! Easter is on it's way! The birds are chirping, Spring is here! and God is good all the the time! He has been so good to me! His love is now and forever! Have a awesome day! Jesus Love and mine! Be sure to click by my Photoblog and check out those pictures, I should be uploading some great additions soon. www.jrsblogspot.com

Jesus, The Way, the Truth, and the Life!

John L007 Tract Minister — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:16:53 GMT

He will yet fill your
mouth with laughter and your lips with
shouts of joy.
( Job 8:21 *NKJV )

I Hope this message from www.godsminute.com will get your day started with a good
laugh or two. However, when you think about it, the message is
true indeed! So let us take a look at:

HEAVEN'S ENTRANCE EXAM

A man dies and goes to Heaven. Saint Peter
meets him at the Pearly Gates and says, "Ok,
here's how it works. You need 100 points to
make it into Heaven. You tell me all the good
things you've done, and I'll award you a certain
number of points for each item, depending on
how good it was. When you reach 100 points,
you get in."

"Okay," the man says...."I was married to the
same woman for 50 years and never once
cheated on her, even in my heart."

"That's wonderful," says Saint Peter, "That's
worth three points!" "Three points?" he asks.

"Well, I attended church all my life and
supported its ministry with my tithes and
service."

"Terrific!" says Saint Peter, "That's certainly
worth a point." "One point?!!

Hey, I started a soup kitchen in my city and
worked in a shelter for homeless veterans!"

"Fantastic, that's good for two more points, "
Saint Peter says. "Two points?!!" the man
cries.

"At this rate, the only way I'm going to get
into Heaven is by the Grace of God!"

"Bingo, 100 points! Come on in!"

A footnote by me: The price and entrance to Heaven has already been paid by Jesus Sacrifice on the cross of Calvery. This Easter reminds us of that special promise of Eternal Life in Heaven to all who believe, We are not perfect in our ways,actions or conversation, However, we never were, God is the only perfect one ever known or will be! Seek His will and way for your life, because he is the way maker! He has done it for me, I know first hand, and He can do the same for you just trust and do your part. God is love, He loved us first as the bible says. His love for you is beyond anything you or I could comprehend! May you feel His peace and presence as you seek Him at a Bible believing church, Genesis through Revalations! He is with us even to the end of the age! and All things are possible to Him who believes because with God all things are possible! In Christ and On Tract this is J.L.R.

We all need friends......

Friends are an indespensible part of a meaningful life. They are the ones who share our burdens and multiply our blessings. A true friend sticks by our joys and sorrows. In good times and bad, we need friends who will pray for us, listen to us, and lend a comforting hand. - Beverly Lahaye

The God who created the vast resources of the universe is also the inventor of the Human Mind. His inspired words of encouragement guarantee us that we can live above our circumstances. - James Dobson

Therefore, as God's Chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. - Colossians 3:12 NIV

Face your deficiences and acknowledge them: but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. When we do the best we can, We never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. - Helen Keller

My prayers go out to friends who are sick at home or a few I know in the Hospital. Also to a family who has lost a loved one, And to those with a broken Heart, Give God all the pieces. He knows how to heal the hurt. I know He has and is doing it in my life, He'll do the same for you if only you will ask, As the word says and I know through my experiences, This to shall pass! A new Day is Dawning! till we see Jesus Face to Face!

Blessings to all,

Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing
praises to our God, how pleasant and
fitting to praise him!
              ( Psalms 147:1 *NIV )

Dear John,
   Why not attend the Church of your choice today, where
you may join with others as they praise our Heavenly Father.
After all, just think of all the blessings He has given to
you, including His Love and saving Grace! So; Give thanks
to the Lord , for He is good; His love endures
forever.                              ( PSALM 107:8 )

   King David best described this, for in a Psalm he gave to
Asaph, for he wrote; Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare
His glory among the nations, His marvelous
deeds among all peoples. For great is the Lord
and most worthy of praise He is to be feared
( revered) above all gods. Ascribe to the Lord
the glory due His name. Bring an offering and
come before Him worship the Lord in the
splendor of His Holiness.
           ( 1 Chronicles 16:23-25 & 29 )

   So John, why not worship the Lord in the splendor of His
Holiness by attending your Church today. There you may;
Greet one another with a holy kiss. For;The
Churches of Christ greet you.   Amen!
                      ( Romans 16:16 )

All My Love & Prayers,
      Pastor Allen

It is written; IF I SAY, 'I WILL FORGET MY
COMPLAINT, I WILL CHANGE MY EXPRESSION,
AND SMILE.'           ( JOB 9:27 * NIV )

Dear John,
     We all have days when we feel overwhelmed
with life's many problems. However complaining about
then doesn't change a thing!

     So why not smile instead of complain, for it is said; "Smile
and the whole World smiles with you, frown and you frown
alone!"

     Now what better way to find a smile than to laugh with
joy. So enjoy today's message, and let it be said; OUR
MOUTHS WERE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, OUR
TONGUES WITH SONGS OF JOY. For; THE LORD
HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR US, AND WE
ARE FILLED WITH JOY.       ( PSALM 126:2-3 )

     Therefore John, today's message is one that was
sent to us by one of our Dear Subscribers. It will not only
cause a laugh or two, it may try your Bible knowledge a
little as well!   It is titled:

                         "Smiles From The Bible"

Q: What kind of man was Boaz before he married?
A:   Ruthless

Q: What do they call Pastor's in Germany?
A:   German Shepherd's.

Q: Who was the greatest financier in the Bible?
A:   Noah. He was floating his stock while everyone else was
       in liquidation.

Q: What was the greatest female financier in the Bible?
A:   Pharaoh's daughter. She went to the bank of the Nile
       and drew out a little Prophet.

Q: What kind of motor vehicles are in the Bible?
A:   Jehovah drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Fury.
       David's Triumph was heard throughout the land. Also,
       probably a Honda, because the apostles were all in
       one Accord.

Q: Who was the greatest comedian in the Bible?
A:   Samson. He brought the house down.

Q: Which servant of God was the most flagrant lawbreaker in
      the Bible?
A:   Moses. He broke all 10 commandments at once.

Q: Which area of Palestine was especially wealthy?
A:   The area around Jordan. The banks were always
       overflowing.

Q: Who is the greatest babysitter mentioned in the Bible?
A:   David. He rocked Goliath to a very deep sleep.

Q: Which Bible character had no parents?
A:   Joshua, son of Nun.

     Now who knew the Bible was so full of puns and jokes?
I hope you have enjoyed!

     Enjoy your weekend John, and do not forget to attend
your Church tomorrow as well.

All My Love & Prayers,
           Pastor Allen
