daisy,
It is almost as though Rev Wilkerson's last blog was written to comfort all those who would need it, after he was killed in that car accident later that day.

I have a question please, I am trying to make understanding. I am at 2 Samuel 23:15-17 in my chron. read and stuck.
David wants a drink of water, three mighty men offer him water but refuses to take. What did these three men do?....this is the part not making understanding for me. another question...is it a sin to be impatient?
Dekrator, Again thank you for the prayers. The weathermen were completely dumb founded the way the storm shifted when it got to the Atlanta airport, the storm was headed right for us and shifted. My area only had some rain, but devastating to so many other areas. Crazy weather it was, but some how it kept missing the area my family lives in. We had constant warnings then nothing, kept changing direction until 2am I think it ended. Must have been the prayers answered that my family was unharmed.

MDW~I'm so glad you're safe. That's awesome how the destruction of the storm didn't hurt you. I'd sure miss your questions. You do not just skim and read lightly..but really ponder what you're reading. That way you will own it...or it will be written in your heart (not just head knowledge from someone's commentary..you're proving it).
I've been thinking about your question re: Is it wrong to seek a medium, the scripture dekrator gave and the explanations from dekrator & daisy. I agree and will add what I've learned.
satan's tactics are pretty much the same today. He tries to take worship belonging to God for himself. He copies many things God does. So, basically, people can choose to love the Lord Jesus, learning about Him from the Bible and practicing what He teaches...or....people can refuse to submit to Jesus. They must then try to find happiness and self-worth in other ways. Anytime we seek knowledge of the future or anything else apart from God, our adversary will gladly step in to 'help'.
satan can help locate things/people because his henchmen are behind them disappearing in the first place. He (through people not relying on the Lord God) can predict the future, somewhat adequately, because he's been around for years studying people and he knows the Word of God better than some Christians (although he always twists it).
I love the way Holy Spirit gently leads us to Jesus and the Truth He teaches us. I'm so thankful for Easter....
I pray God will continue to bless and heal us and that He will keep us learning together.

daisy, thank you for posting about David Wilkerson. He was a powerful man of God and will be greatly missed here. I pray for his wife and family to be healed and comforted.
Goodnight and God bless us everyone... especially praying for Sammy to get back home safe and be ready to get healed!

DKat, WOW...loved reading all you shared. You surely went the extra mile, great info you shared answering MDW's question.
Powerful song, "Our God Reigns Here".
Dekrator, I tried to watch the video you posted from Times Square Church but wasn't able to access it. I think the website is totally overwhelmed with hits. My husband and I attended there when we went to NYC for our 30th wedding anniversary. It was great...and as it turned out both David Wilkerson (he preached) and Nicki Cruz were there.
Truly a great man of God who gave His life away for Jesus.
MDW, Great question about the three mighty men who gave the glass of water to David. I've always loved this brief story. The 3 mighty men did nothing wrong.
I chose this translation because it is quite modern day in the language/vocabulary used.
2 Samuel 23:15-17 (The Message)
"One day during harvest, the Three parted from the Thirty and joined David at the Cave of Adullam. A squad of Philistines had set up camp in the Valley of Rephaim.
While David was holed up in the Cave, the Philistines had their base camp in Bethlehem.
David had a sudden craving and said, "Would I ever like a drink of water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem!"
So the Three penetrated the Philistine lines, drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David.
But David wouldn't drink it; he poured it out as an offering to God, saying, "There is no way, God, that I'll drink this!
This isn't mere water, it's their life-blood--they risked their very lives to bring it!" So David refused to drink it.
This is the sort of thing that the Three did."
To David, the water became too valuable to drink because these 3 brave men could have died bringing David a glass of water.
Instead, David pours it out/gives it to God as an offering...because it was so valuable.
We have read in the Old Testament about the animal offerings/sacrifices, but did you notice there are other offerings/sacrifices too...grain offerings, and yes even a drink offering, etc. So in that Culture what David did was very significant.
The 3 men would have been deeply touched, not offended, that David would give that water to God. They realized how much David cherished their lives and that David was glad they made it safely back. David recognized their love and loyalty toward him.
MDW, Thank you for that question.
Closing with DKat's prayer, "I pray God will continue to bless and heal us and that He will keep us learning together, Amen."

Good Morning,
TGIF, Thank God It's Forever!
In 2 Timothy 3:16-17 we read, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
That means as we read about "David and the Three Mighty Men" that is not just a story in a book. What meaning could there be...that God is wanting us to see?
As I think about it...this comes to my mind...
Jesus poured out His life for us.
Jesus help me live, really live, for You. Every Sunday our pastor says, "You have six days between now and next Sunday, don't waste them."
A verse for today, "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24).
Have a great day!

DKat,
Thank you for all your explanations regarding mediums and foreseeing the future...I appreciate all your work to share that, and the song, "Our God Reigns Here"!!
daisy,
Special memories you must have of your trip to NYC for your 30th anniversary, and so great you got to see Rev Wilkerson and Nicki Cruz!
Thanks for the explanation of MDW's question about the 3 men and the drink.
You always amaze me...I always think, "How does she know so much?"
That is the kind of explanation I need for the entire Bible...lol.
Also appreciated the thoughts you shared this morning....Amen!
I am in agreement with when you say, "Jesus help me live, really live, for You!"
Good afternoon, MDW!! I bet you are busy reading and thinking of some more very good questions!
It helps me alot, so keep it up!
Hope everyone is having a good day. I went to church this morning, then went to 3 yard sales (didn't buy anything).
I was watching the Royal Wedding this morning and thought I'd share some scripture that was read during the ceremony...
Romans 12:1-2, 9-18
1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Marks of the True Christian
9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.
17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

DKat, WOW! did you hear? I do not read much Thank you so much for all the time you spent searching scripture and taking the time to print all this. Lots for me to absorb. Makes meaning to me though.
Daisy, breaking down the scripture in people (me) language, I understand " David and the Three Mighty Men" Now please correct me if I am wrong with what I might en see in this scripture 2 Samuel 23:15-17.....
When Jesus was dying on the cross He said, "I Thirst" Jesus is thirsty for love, and this is the thirst for everyone. Hmmm...think, yes... we all thirst for love of others, they go out of their way avoid harming us and do good to us, to give until it hurts....Jesus kept giving. Well the three men were willing to give up there lives to get that water for David and Jesus gave up his life for us. We should love Jesus and our neighbors with a big heart. Is this right daisy?
Daisy I like what your pastor say...6 days till Sunday, don't waste them...my week flies by and the next thing I know It is Sunday and I think...what did I do?
Dekrator...Busy,yes I have been, but no I have not yet read my daily reads.. will get on that even though I already have sooo many questions saved. I did not watch the wedding...scriptures are good. You know what, can I speak my mind? Ok I will... I do not understand how they can spend millions of dollars on a wedding when places in Europe are in great poverty and huge suicide ratings. I mean really...what exactly does the queen do? Get wealthy? I am off my tangent now, thanks.
ps.... dekrator, I am sorry, I was re-reading the posts and well, I never said thank you for the scriptures you posted for me about the "medium" thing. Thank You dear friend.
Daisy thank you for sharing what the scripture meant to you and the share to help make meaning for me

dekrator, Thank you for sharing the scriptures ~ I hope they meant as much to the new couple as they do to me. Wouldn't this place be so much different if we would do that. Hungry and poor would quickly become a thing of the past.
MDW....WOW~did you hear me you say....you're funny. I probably will never talk with you face to face on earth but, in Heaven if I see a circle of angels laughing with joy, I'd be pretty sure you'll be in the middle of them telling some funny, profound thing!
daisy, I love the way you explain the scriptures. You make it sound so simple and beautiful. I feel such peace reading what you say. (peace & bart....oxymoron?....must be Jesus in you!)
May Psalm 107:19-21 be made alive in our hearts! Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.

Good morning friends!
MDW,
You're welcome dear friend!
Can't say I know much about the Royal Family, but I did enjoy seeing the pretty dresses and the carriages, etc.
Waiting patiently to see what your new questions will be....
DKat,
Thanks for sharing Psalm 107:19-21....so beautiful!!
Well today friends, there is my grandson's baseball game to attend...first game was last night.
It didn't start until 7:15 pm and it was COLD!!!
I wore my winter coat, scarf, gloves, footwarmers, etc and was still cold.
Today the sun is shining, even if it was only 40 degrees early this morning.
Sounds crazy but I'll probably be hunting for some shade at the game because I'm on doxy.
Hi daisy! Hope you are having a blessed Saturday morning!
Friends, I hope your day is filled with joy, hope and peace!

I have recently been to a specialist in NY state who says I definitely have the symptoms of Lyme. He started me on 2 oral antibiotics for starters. I am from Southwestern Ontario. I am suffering from major neurological symptoms for years, am pretty much debilitated and am determined to get better. Any ideas how I can make sure I get proper help here in Ontario? I am under no illusions. The more I read the more I see how tough things are...to get help. Is there any chance of having a local MD continue help under the direction of the Lyme Specialist? He is top notch. Any other ideas? Thx folks...I am new to this site....is this message getting out to everyone?

Just arrived home from church. What a great service! Normally we don't have church on Saturday night, but tomorrow is one of the five top marathons in the nation and the Finish Line is right in front of our church.
The roads in downtown OKC are all blocked off, etc. Instead of the church people getting upset about it, the church gets involved. Opens the bathrooms up for the runners. Has water, etc. ready for them...use it as an outreach.
The marathon is related to the OKC bombing...
Here is a link to the marathon if you're interested in looking at it just for the fun of it.
Dekrator, I like what you said, "Good afternoon, MDW!! I bet you are busy reading and thinking of some more very good questions!"
Ha! I sure hope MDW is.
It's been a while since I've been to a garage sale. I do like to pick around at them.
I didn't get a chance to watch any of the Royal Wedding, WOW, I really liked the scriptures you shared from the Wedding,
Romans 12:1-2, 9-18. Those make beautiful vows for a couple and for the Church of Jesus, His Bride. Thank you for sharing.
DKat said to me, "You make it sound so simple and beautiful. I feel such peace reading what you say. (peace & bart....oxymoron?....must be Jesus in you!)" Only on God Thought. That is good Dkat!
And we know that laughter does good like medicine.
MDW, Loved your sharing about Jesus on the cross and Jesus being thirsty for love. WOW! Jesus asking for drink, really shows how human Jesus really is. His body got thirsty..so very thirsty.
I never thought about it like that before. WOW. Like you share, "Jesus is thirsty for love." I imagine that He loves us so much He "thirsts" so much to have our love, to have a relationship with us. He died just to have that relationship forever!
MDW says, "Well the three men were willing to give up there lives to get that water for David and Jesus gave up his life for us. We should love Jesus and our neighbors with a big heart. Is this right daisy?" Yes! Yes! Yes! You got it girl!
Your comment about the Royal Wedding and millions of dollars...you do make a good point. We are our brothers keeper.
Oh God have mercy on us and help us. Oh, yeah, He did when He sent Jesus. OK, Lord, help us to be more like You!

Good evening!
Had a nice day for a ballgame..sunny and almost 70 degrees.
Praise the Lord I was fine in the sun since the sun is not real strong here this time of year.
Deven had a couple of nice hits and fielded some plays too. Always fun watching the kids play ball.
rhody,
I hope you find the help that you need. Welcome to Lymenet and God Thought.
Feel free to come back to God Thought anytime.
daisy,
Wow, that Marathon looks like a huge event!! They even have a pasta party!
How wonderful that they found a nice way to honor the memory of the people who died in the OKC bombing....and great of your church to open their doors and get involved!
I bet it would be exciting to see the marathon.
Praying everyone has a restful night!

Why was David labeled as the man after God's own heart? 1Samuel 13:14 This question I continue to ponder over. Is this what made him king?
Daisy, you say you had a wonderful service, tell me about what you learned. I'm with DKat,you make scripture sound so beautiful.
Dekrator, wonderful you had an enjoyable day with the grandchildren and the weather cooperated for you. I'm tired tonight, catch up tomorrow, nights.

Good morning!
Dekrator, How fun...a baseball game...in the perfect sun shiny weather...watching your grandson. I can just picture how excited Deven was for his hits and fielding. Doesn't get much better than that. Children and grandchildren are a gift from the Lord.
I did sleep really good last night, thank you very much for your prayers.
MDW, About David being a man "after God's own heart"...you ask a good question. At first glance I would say, "Yes" it was because of David's heart toward the Lord"...and then after a message like last night, causes me to think, "Which came first the chicken or the egg." And I'm going to leave you with that and expound on it later after I review my notes...and am able to put into words my thoughts.
It's like, "How could I not love Him, after the way He's loved me." So which came first?
rhody, Welcome back. So glad you're here a fellow Christian. God bless you. BTW, are you going to post a New Post under Medical with your questions?
Friends, God is with you. He never leaves us or forsakes us. We walk by faith and not by sight. We are never alone.

Good morning,
It sure is a pretty day. Daisy may I add to your thinking? I can't leave things alone so I went to the back of my bible...whats it called?...let me peak real quick....Concordance, well I looked up all the scriptures (no, not all) under heart, well I found something in Acts..let my fingers type here....Acts 13:22
And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, "I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart, who will do all my will."
David finds what direction God is going and charges with all his might in the direction that pleases God. Right? David obeys and follows the commandments, and seeks only which is pleasing to God. To have a heart for the same things God has a heart for. Yes?
Boy if this is true, David sure did put high standards on the rest of us. My feet are not getting any bigger Daisy...small feet in a big pair of sandels; shoot, no wonder I keep tripping.
Which came first Daisy? the chicken or egg

MDW, WOW! Great devotion you wrote. So glad you found that in the concordance and shared with us.
Well, I have a feeling that something surprising will happen, maybe tomorrow or for sure this week, reading through the Bible.
You will find out David, indeed, has feet of clay (he is human)...even though he has a heart "after God's own heart".
I will hold on that subject...don't want to spoil it.
And FYI...daisy ARE human.
"the chicken or egg?" really thinking here...I ARE a egghead.
I am in a silly mood again. And so glad about it. Whew, I needed that laugh...so I've taken my remedies and now I've had my endorfun (endorphin) fix.
What a great Sunday.
I'll share one thing our pastor said..."Easter is over. We celebrated it last week. BUT Jesus is S T I L L Alive!!!" Posts: 2188 | From Oklahoma | Registered: May 2008

daisy, not sure what a devotion is, just thoughts to me. Can you believe I was up most the night before I found that scripture in acts? Yep. The way chronological read has been lately... truly hope to keep up, to miss a day,well it most likely will put me far behind. I really like all the Psalm readings...makes more meaning for me. excited for finding out if David has flaws, since you say he is human; nothing bad I hope.

Hi friends,
Here is the Gospel reading from church today:
John 20: 19 - 31
19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."
20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
21 Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe."
26 Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."
27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing."
28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."
30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
These are the thoughts of an aquaintance about today's Gospel reading:
On Thomas, the doubting disciple: These preliminary doubts of Thomas have served to confirm the faith of those who were to believe in Him later on.
What conclusion, dear brethren, do you come to?, asks St. Gregory the Great.
Surely it was not by chance that this chosen disciple was missing in the first place? Or that on his return he heard, that hearing he doubted, that doubting he touched, and that touching he believed?
It was by divine dispensation and not by chance that things so fell out.
God's mercy worked wonderfully, for when that doubting disciple touched his Master's wounded flesh he cured the wound of our disbelief...So this doubting disciple, who actually touched, became a witness to the reality of the resurrection.

It's been a tough day. Went to the little local church by my house this morning. Great message about love, family and taking care of each other.
I've had a hard time concentrating on anything very long except pain. I've been having trouble with lower right jaw for about month now. I've gone to specialist who did an implant for me over yr ago (said I had an abscess in tooth in front of implant), so on to dentist who specializes in root canals (can't think of name) who said 3 teeth were hot but didn't think root canals would help (he thought TMJ), so on to EMT doc who confirmed TMJ but said it was coming from problem in jaw/teeth. CAT scan & xray later~showed nothing so now what?? Can't touch teeth together on that side or even put any pressure on jaw....pain meds don't do much (ie Motrin 600 or Anaprox 500).
I post this here as I need your prayers. Thank you in advance....blessings

DKat,
I am praying for you, for relief from pain!!
I will continue to remember your need for healing from pain daily as I pray.
I DO understand your suffering friend...pain and stiffness are my huge symptoms.
Lord, please hold DKat in the palm of your hand and give her healing of her pain.
Surround her in your blanket of comfort and let her feel Your peace.
I pray this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

DKat,
You are in my prayers. I say AMEN to Dekrator's beautiful prayer.
I encourage you to rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Salt kills germs and bacteria. It is soothing too.
I sent you a PM.
Praying you get some rest tonight.

Please pray for our military.
They killed Osama bin Laden, so it's going to get ugly.
God Bless the USA and Lord, please protect all of our military people.
I'm thankful that my son is back from Iraq.

Good Morning,
Top of the morning on this cold, breezy day in Oklahoma. We do need the rain.
Dkerator, Thank you for sharing the scriptures of when Jesus shows himself to the disciples after He is raised from the dead.
Imagine with me what that would be like!
Suppose you have buried a loved one...and a few days later he/she shows up at your house!
First the "I can't believe it!" Then realizing it is true and having such overwhelming joy!
Poor Thomas he wasn't there and refused to believe it. Seriously, can we blame Thomas?
But the Lord is so merciful and shows again when Thomas is there. Thomas sees/feels the scars in Jesus hands and side and declares, "My Lord and my God!"
We encounter the risen Jesus in the here and now! Easter may be over, but as my pastor said this weekend, "Jesus IS still alive!"
OK, now, for those who are reading the Bible chronological, in today's read we see that David made some bad choices.
It was the time of year when kings went to war. But not King David. He decided to stay at the palance. Bad choice number 1 and it went down hill from there with his affair with Bathsheba, having her husband killed, etc.
Just goes to show us it is important for us to be where we are suppose to be. Make the #1 choice first, a godly choice) and it will save a lot of heartache.
Quick to add, in ourselves we cannot do this...but with Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit inside of us...all things are possible.
Dekrator, I am with you...God Bless our men and women and uniform and God bless the USA!

rhody, you are in my prayers. I know how concerning the brain fog can be.
May God touch you and give you His peace, wisdom, and lead you.

Hi everyone....thank you Daisyrib for your prayers. The days are long and hard and I am doing a lot of sitting around. I am finishing my 3rd week of doxy, hoping, please God, that I may see a glimmer of change and hope. I hope that you are well.
