Pray for All Ministry (P-FAM) Letter, Verse, Reflection and Prayer to You:

Inspirational Message – Practice Acknowledgement Verse, Thought and Prayer from Crosswalk Proverbs 31:10, 27-28 – Women of Honor

Written by Paula Belleza Hunter 04172012

Dear P-FAM Family and Friends, I hope and pray this email finds each of you well and know you are already blessed! We are lifting up our prayers of praise, thanksgiving and supplication right now and know that God is touching our hearts. My letter brings my thoughts of Practicing Acknowledgement and the “Verse, Thought and Prayer” I bring to you was received from Crosswalk. The message I have been instructed to share with you by God and the Holy Spirit is: “Practice Acknowledgement.” This message came to me as I was reading some messages from a friend this morning. She had sent me an email yesterday telling me about her weekend and then a few others trying to help with ideas and direction for our family business. Life gets so busy and hectic, especially when you have children, are involved in church and outside activities, sporting activities, work, school, and whatever else your lives may be filled with. That is exactly what had happened to me when I stopped writing for the Pray for All Ministry a while back, because I became so busy and even when I asked for direction, didn’t take the time to listen. But when we take that time to acknowledge someone, God provides wisdom and direction to us either in our Spirits or through

Page 24: Thanks Magazine - May 2012

another. And when I made that acknowledgement, this is when God gave me the message to not get too busy to not have time for Him. As I continued to read her emails, I also knew in my heart, that I should not treat a friend in the same manner and wanted to “acknowledge” that I received her emails and that I would respond when I had a little more time but wanted to let her know that her emails and messages were not just sitting in web-space limbo being ignored or deleted. Then I thought about “random acts of kindness”. Sometimes we get so busy in our lives we don’t even have time to say “Hey, haven’t heard from you, how are you?” And I don’t mean the posting of Facebook or Twitter messages that everyone can read or the forwarding of mass emails. I am talking about a personal message. A personal email or message saying, “just wanted you to know I was thinking about you”. Or what about sending a text or making a phone call? What about giving someone a card for no reason or special occasion – just because? When you think of someone, let them know! You don’t have to have a long conversation or send a long email – just acknowledge that thought and let them know. You will make someone’s day, I am sure! Acknowledgement also is a courtesy to people who may contact you directly and are awaiting a reply. You may not have the time to respond completely to their voice mail, to their email or their message, but be courteous and acknowledge that you received it. Tell that person, I am sorry I cannot write more or talk now but I did get your message and I will respond when I can. Be timely in your courteousness. And when you respond, do make the effort to follow-up. If they said they had some money or a gift to give you, how quickly would you respond then? Have you ever been that person who sent someone a message or made a phone call and it was just ignored? Do you remember how that felt? Are we all too busy just to take 1 minute to acknowledge someone who first acknowledged us? In summary, you never know by your response or acknowledgement the "gift" that you receive as a blessing. Do you acknowledge God? Do you say “Hi, Father I was just thinking of You and wanted You to know I love you.” Or do you ignore when God acknowledges you and do not have a moment of your time to take for Him, our Creator and Father? Do you really want to miss out on His gifts and blessings? Let us not become too busy or too unkind that we do not have time for people and cannot practice kindness in acknowledgement. And let us never make that mistake with God. Is there someone you want to touch today? Is there a friend or family member that came to mind? Is there someone, a fellow brother or sister of Jesus, awaiting your response? Have you as sons and daughters acknowledged your Father today? He is waiting and He will always respond back.

Proverbs 31:10, 27-28 “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies... She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... Give honor to whom honor is due! This biblical principle is most certainly true of women, and especially those who are Godly mothers. Let's make sure we praise the key women in our lives today! MY PRAYER... Father, I want to thank you for the women of character and grace, tenderness and fire, love that and tenacity, who have helped shape my life in a way helped me find you. Please bless them this day, I ask in Jesus' name. Amen. PERSONAL NOTE: Thank you to ALL of the special women in my life, especially to my Mama who bore and raised me! I think of all the women in my life who have inspired, encouraged, mentored, prayed for and loved me and I have been so blessed! Let the women of your life know what a blessing they have been to you! Let me pray for you or a loved one today. All requests are strictly confidential. You may email me at [email protected]. Peace and Blessings!

Are you ready for the Trip?

By Co- Bishop Sharon Polk

Are you ready for the trip? You might be asking what trip I am talking about. I am talking about the gathering of the Church the rapture. Jesus tell every plainly the He is coming to get us. In St. John 14:3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” Not only will He be coming but He has made mansions for us. In St. John 14: 2 Jesus states “I go to prepare a place for you.”

Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 “For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Page 27: Thanks Magazine - May 2012

22

This is the first Resurrection the gathering for the Church are you ready? Now He did not tell us what day it will be but He tells us to be ready Matthew 24: 37-44 Jesus tell us “But as in the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so also will the coming of the Son of man be.

40 then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken and the other left.

42 Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Page 28: Thanks Magazine - May 2012

23

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore you also ready: for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Keeping this in mind that we are not told the day and hour that Jesus shall come, it is very important that we get ready and stay ready for His coming for the Church.

So how do we get a ticket to heaven I can’t go to the air port and get one what are the steps from Earth to Glory.

First step

St. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever beliveth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” spoken by Jesus key word Believe.

Repent – turn from satin and follow Jesus. We must ask forgiveness for our sins Roman 3:23 “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

Jesus came into the world to save us from our sins Matthew 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”

Some people may tell you that you can get to God some other way, My friend you cannot let look at St. John 14:6 “ Jesus saith unto him I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Page 29: Thanks Magazine - May 2012

24

1 Timothy 2: 5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus:”

Why is He Jesus mediator because 1 Timothy 2:6 “Who gave himself a ransom for all,” Jesus paid the price to deliver us out of sin and so we could walk with God as He (God) wanted man to do from the beginning of Creation.

Step Two

Confess. Roman 10:9 tells us “that if thou shalt confess with thy month the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved.” The Key word is Believe. Do we stop here No! You don’t have any power, this you must have to stand against satin and win!

Step Three

You must receive the Holy Ghost some call Him the Holy Spirit. You must receive him into your life.

Jesus tells those who were with him right before He is taken into heaven. In Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:”

Jesus tell us how we can receive the Holy Ghost and what He will do for us as He dwells in us

St. John 14:23-26 “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him

Page 30: Thanks Magazine - May 2012

25

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings; and the word which ye here is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you.”

Jesus and His Father God will be in us through the present of the Holy Ghost, and He the Holy Ghost will give us power and teach us, bring things back I our minds what Jesus has spoken to us and that the word of God tells us. So once you have gotten these steps done you must continue in them till he comes.

So I know some will say I do not want to go this way and do what God has asked of me, well it is much better to obey God.

We will all take a trip but what we must be concerned about is where the trip will end. Will we be in heaven or the lake of fire?

Rev. 21:8 “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

Where do you want your trip to end at?

Page 31: Thanks Magazine - May 2012

God Loves the Children!

Matthew 19:14 “but Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Thank you God for your Word!
