Blessings to all this day and prayers to all those lost and left behind in Sweden, Egypt, Syria.  Rejoice in that they are with the Lord and free of what has yet to come.  Prayers all you are safe and happy.   Today's Bible message comes to us from Acts, a rare message from New Testament....

From Acts 9-12....

On His knees...for some time...they sent men...that had happened.....to....approach...
"Pray...get up....I have...been wondering....impure...as Peter"...
For you,...Peter went down...into the house...of the...gentiles....
I sent ...immediately...the presence of GOD....to listen to everything....announcing the good news...of all
Witnesses...with the Holy Spirit...from the dead...on the third day....already chosen....testified about Him...
Him who received forgiveness...still speaking...praising GOD..(me....I was there and failed him like the others)
Starting from the beginning....hesitation about going...as I began to speak...GOD granted repentance....to who was...in Christ....
Telling them...the good news....(When He told us chosen all we would need do on our journeys)
People brought to the Lord....would spread....over the entire world....
The Jews...intended to bring...before Herod...with chains...but an angel...at the entrance...spoke...and the chains fell...
Peter followed Him...through...one street....the angel left him...to himself...
Without a doubt...His angel...rescued...me (me)

When we lose focus on Him we begin to drift away like a boat that had its ropes slip from the dock.  We drift off to see at the mercy of the ocean of life.  Make firm your anchor, your ropes, your connection to the Lord.  He is by your side so live by faith.  Live a life inn His Presence or in your problems presence. 

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of GOD that is in Christ Jesus our Lord....Romans 8:38-39

The Lord replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."...Exodus 33:14

I want to clarify for some who may misunderstand or vainly think, that the catholic church mentioned in the Bible and in the Apostle's creed is not speaking of the Roman Catholic church.   It means universal in extent, pertaining to all that is GOD.  Yes one definition is the Roman Catholic Church and another is any Christian Church and yet another is the previously undivided Church. However, GOD is universal encompassing all.  All comes from GOD, belongs to GOD.  All is catholic.  It is adjectival in nature not proper noun.

GOD BLESS!  PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!  GOD IS AWESOME!
