Infinite Possibilities

Is anything too hard for the LORD?
GENESIS 18:14 KJV

Are you afraid to ask God to do big things in your life? Is your faith threadbare and worn? If so, it’s time to abandon your doubts and reclaim your faith in God’s promises.

Ours is a God of infinite possibilities. But sometimes, because of limited faith and limited understanding, we wrongly assume that God cannot or will not intervene in the affairs of mankind. Such assumptions are simply wrong.

God’s Holy Word makes it clear: absolutely nothing is impossible for the Lord. And since the Bible means what it says, you can be comforted in the knowledge that the Creator of the universe can do miraculous things in your own life and in the lives of your loved ones. Your challenge, as a believer, is to take God at His word, and to expect the miraculous.

God is the silent partner in all great enterprises. ~Abraham Lincoln

If we take God’s program, we can have God’s power—not otherwise. ~E. Stanley Jones

You can believe in the Holy Spirit not because you see Him, but because you see what He does in people’s lives when they are surrendered to Christ and possess His power. ~Billy Graham

The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us. ~Anonymous

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear God, nothing is impossible for You—keep me always mindful of Your strength. When I lose hope, give me faith; when others lose hope, let me tell them of Your glory and Your works. Today, Lord, let me expect the miraculous, and let me trust in You. Amen

Law of the Garbage Truck

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Gary Kimpel
Date: Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 7:47 AM
Subject:

Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined
your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a blessed, garbage-free day!

Dear All,

Finally, Batya and I slept through the night undisturbed without waking up 2-4 times in the night. I feel rested after a long day yesterday in which I went to the border of the Gaza Strip where the other journalists from all over the world were doing their reports in many languages.

You may wonder why I was there? I was preparing a video report for Christian television in the UK and for our internet news site at: www.jnnnews.com. It should be up and loaded soon, keep watching. As I was taping with my cameraman and good friend Jan, a plume of white smoke went off from the heart of Gaza City and then an alarm went off in Sderot behind us with only a maximum of 15 seconds to take cover from the incoming Qassam rocket which missed the small town and struck about 200 meters from where we stood. We got most of it on tape while running for cover. Only minutes later another Qassam rocket came our way but only about 300 meters away.

You would think that the foreign TV crews would get the message but obviously not. What will it take for them to understand the nature of Islamic terrorism?

While we were there I had a real burden just to pray for Ariel who was probably somewhere within 5-10 miles of where I stood, maybe even much less. Fierce fighting was taking place and some report we received told us that a few paratroopers from our son's regiment were wounded. Thank the Lord, Ariel was not on the list of wounded, however we do care for all of them and continue to pray for all their safety. They have to have great discernment due to suicide bombers, several of whom have been shot in trying to reach the soldiers. This we need to focus more on in prayer, to expose the suicide bombers before they can reach their targets amongst us.
One encouraging piece of news came yesterday in the daily major Israeli newspaper; we are convinced that Ariel is in one of the photos. Seven of us who have seen the photo all agree its him from a side view. It is as if Ariel was sending us a message that everything is gonna be alright.
Just a little while ago our plumber Yossi walked in to fix the heating system and although not religious in character he looked at us and said, "Ariel is going to be alright, he belongs first to the Lord and then to you his parents. He's in God's hands." This is coming from a Jewish unbeliever, maybe not so far off in reality. Keep him in prayer.

In closing for today, I have had to cancel a two week ministry and fund raising tour for the most obvious reasons. Please pray that the ministry work of Vision for Israel & The Joseph Storehouse will not lack in any way and will be able to meet its financial obligations and ongoing aid and media projects to reach the nation of Israel.

2 Samuel 22:3
The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence.

We appreciate all your ongoing prayers,

In His Service,

Barry for the Segal Family

Lectio Divina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lectio Divina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The Four Moments

Lectio Divina has been likened to 'Feasting on the Word.' The four parts are first taking a bite (Lectio), then chewing on it (Meditatio). Next is the opportunity to savor the essence of it (Oratio). Finally, the Word is digested and made a part of the body (Contemplatio).

Lectio

This first moment consists in reading the scriptural passage slowly, attentively several times.

Meditatio

The Christian, gravitating around the passage or one of its words, takes it and ruminates on it, thinking in God’s presence about the text. He or she benefits from the Holy Spirit’s ministry of illumination, i.e. the work of the Holy Spirit that imparts spiritual understanding of the sacred text. It is not a special revelation from God, but the inward working of the Holy Spirit, which enables the Christian to grasp the revelation contained in the Scripture.

Oratio

This is a response to the passage by opening the heart to God. It is not an intellectual exercise, but an intuitive conversation or dialogue with God.

Contemplatio

This moment is characterized by a simple, loving focus on God. In other words, it is a beautiful, wordless contemplation of God, a joyful rest in his presence."

Imprecatory Psalms - Theopedia

Imprecatory Psalms - Theopedia: "Imprecatory Psalms
From Theopedia

Imprecatory psalms are those those psalms that contain curses or prayers for the punishment of the psalmist's enemies. To imprecate means to invoke evil upon, or curse. Psalms 7, 35, 55, 58, 59, 69, 79, 109, 137 and 139 all contain prayers for God's judgment on the psalmist's enemies. Example imprecatory statements from the Psalms follow:

* Psalm 55:15 - Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the grave.
* Psalm 58:6 - O God, break the teeth in their mouths.
* Psalm 69:28 - May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.
* Psalm 109:9 - May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
* Psalm 137:9 - How blessed will be the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."

My Thanksgiving 2008

My Thanksgiving 2008
Colossians 3:15-17 (New King James Version)

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Thank you, Stuart, for calling me this morning with this Scripture. It Blessed me beyond measure.

I reviewed the Thanksgiving message that email out to everyone last year. Boy, I've grown a lot in the Lord this year. Reflection is a theme of this Holiday, a Holy day.

Juan invited to come to be with him and his family today. My heart aches because I wish could be in with everyone today. Juan and I share in our struggles with employment.

I am remembering passed Thanksgiving Holidays with my Mother and my older sister Beth. In 1985 Beth over did the festivities of the meal because of the recent passing of Mom. Dad had a big project to do because the oven had be replaced to make the event happen. Dad always comes through. As for me that year I was in so much pain in secret, almost like quiet desperation. Remembering the pass reminds me on my Love today.

Its going to me to be hard to call my niece, Marissa and and my nephew, Stone, today. I'm holding back tears because so much miss my sister Beth around the Holidays.

I wish I could be with my Dad and my brother, Michael, in Florida today. However, duty calls tomorrow. I should be grateful for a little work even though I know testing coming soon.

I hope to call my sister, Cheryl, and her husband Lee in South Jersey to remind them of the reason for the season. I'm sure they will cringe inside, its my little tradition with her. I love my little sister and so does Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Universe.

To all my cousins, aunts and uncles out there I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving today. Check out my family photos online: http://picasaweb.google.com/kingdan.610 . Let's get together sometime soon.

The Philadelphia Eagles is such a love/hate relationship. Andy Ried screwed up McNabb's head. What happen to running quarterback that I loved to watch? Andy is eating too many Tastycakes and Cheese Steaks! Then that bum Jeffery Lurie goes and invites stinking Joe Biden into the owner's box. The bums!!! Green and Silver forever, but I want change now! Well there's always next year. Ok I feel better now.

Well, going to eat some fowl bird now. What turkey am I.

God Bless you all today and Happy Thanksgiving.

The following is an article which I clipped from a newsletter which I receive. It's a good reminder and a deeper look into the history of the Thanksgiving holiday. More than I had ever learned in school. It's an even more insightful to look at how much our congress has changed in the last 67 years.

I pray that this email finds each of you in true "Thanksgiving", and in the spirit of which the holiday was declared.

SQUANTO - THE PILGRIM'S GOD-SEND

"Measured by the standards of men of their time, were the humble of the earth. Measured by later accomplishments, they were the mighty. In appearance weak and persecuted they came -- rejected, despised -- an insignificant band; in reality strong and independent, a mighty host of whom the world was not worthy destined to free mankind." - Calvin Coolidge

Cold and sick, fighting snow and sleet, a motley band of English men and women struggled through their first winter in the New World. Fewer than 50 of the 110 pilgrims and crew that had stepped off the Mayflower survived until spring. On their own, the Pilgrims would have likely all perished their first year on the coast of New England.

God had better plans for them.

In March of 1621, a loincloth-covered native stepped out of the woods and said, "Welcome" in clear English. Samoset, the chief of the Algonquins, had learned English from the fishing ships that occasionally put into the coast of Maine. A few days later he returned to the little Pilgrim village with another English speaking native named Tisquantum (aka "Squanto").

When the Pilgrims arrived in late 1620, they settled on cleared land that belonged to nobody. Squanto's entire tribe had been wiped out while he was in England after having been taken as a slave in 1605. After returning to his native homeland with Captain John Smith in 1614, Squanto was again kidnapped and taken to Spain, where he was bought by local friars and introduced to Christianity. When he returned home, he found his tribe gone and the land that had belonged to them shunned by other tribes. He wandered until he found the Wampanoags who lived about 50 miles to the southwest.

And so, Squanto proved to be a literal God-send for the Pilgrims. He stayed with them and taught them how to stalk deer and catch eels and plant corn the Indian way. He showed them how to refine maple syrup and to discern which wild plants were edible and which were poisonous. He introduced them to trapping beavers, the pelts of which were in high demand in Europe. Without his help, few of the Pilgrims would have survived.

By the autumn of 1621, the Pilgrims were well-prepared for the coming winter and extremely grateful to God, to the Wampanoags, and to Squanto. Governor Bradford declared a day of public thanksgiving to be held in October. They invited Massasoit, the Wapanoags' chief, to a feast to celebrate their bounty. The Wapanoags taught the Pilgrims the art of making popcorn and the Pilgrims introduced the Indians to fruit pies.

The Pilgrims had additional days of thanksgiving for God's provision during the next years of difficulty and hunger, but we remember these days of feasting and games and competitions in our Thanksgiving celebrations. God had shown He cared for this little band of persecuted Englishmen in search of religious and civil freedom.

There have been several days of thanksgiving since the time of the Pilgrims.

1777: Samuel Adams made a "Thanksgiving day" proclamation that was adopted by all 13 states:

"It is therefore recommended... to set apart Thursday the eighteenth day of December next, for solemn Thanksgiving and praise, that with one heart and one voice the good people may express the grateful feelings of their hearts and consecrate themselves to the service of their divine benefactor..."

October, 1789: President George Washington proclaimed Thursday the Twenty-sixth day of November to be a day of national thanksgiving to Almighty God.

October, 1863: President Abraham Lincoln announced that the last Thursday of November would be dedicated "as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens."

Finally, an act of Congress in 1941 dedicated the fourth Thursday of November for the purpose of thanking our Creator.

Even as our forefathers acknowledged the provision and goodness of God, let us also make this national holiday a very special time to thank Him for our own provision - our families, our sustenance and, above all, our redemption in His Son!
