Dr. Sanjay Gupta world renowned brain surgeon on CNN advises people not to place cell phones near their ears. Studies say a cell phone placed near your ears can cause cancer. I have notified all of my relatives, friends and co-workers. I have always made it a habit not to place my cell phone near my ears. If you love yourself and your family, then take care of yourself. 

 


             Keep your children and yourself safe in your home for only a $1.00 a day.

                                                 Daily Prayer Requests:

 

                

                                         Please pray for Bishop Michael D. Austin and 

                           First Lady Mattie Austin as they oversee our church.  Pray for

                         their talented and anointed five children and their divine destiny.

 

                 Please pray for the families of men and women, who lost their lives

                    in the 9-11 disaster, that their hurting hearts be made whole.

 

                       Please pray for the many men and women, who rush to answer 911

                        emergency calls that come in everyday, 24 by 7, who rescue and 

                           protect us on an ongoing never ending exhausting schedule.

 

                         Please pray for our nation's truck drivers who haul our consumer

                            goods all over the country everyday, 24 by 7, who deserve our

                            gratitude and thanks. One such truck driver saved my life, by

                            blowing his horn repeatedly to wake me up while I was driving

                             alone on a trip  to Columbus, Ohio. "Thank you, Mr. Trucker!"

 

                             Please pray for the many men and women, who pick our fruit,

                             vegetables and other food crops who work in the hot sun for

                              many hours everyday with little pay. Also those that sew our

                                  garments and clothes, and those that make other items.

 

                              Please pray for our families that have lost loved ones due to

                              disasters here in the USA like Hurricane Irene and all over the

                              world like Japan's earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, mud slides,

                              hurricanes, cyclones, forest fires, and due to terrorist attacks.

                                                                                                          

                         Please pray for our men and women overseas, who are fighting for

                our freedom and security, as well as those, who lost their lives while doing so.

 

                          Please pray for our men and women who were injured in Iraq and

                 other countries overseas as they return to mend and cope with real issues.

 

                      Please pray for ministers, bishops, pastors and the body of Christ whose

                   marriages and homes the enemy has attacked, that they be made whole and

                                                         strong in these last and evil days.

                                                        

                           Please pray for women around the world who are dealing with

                          domestic violence, and that they will call on God, our Lord and

                  Savior Jesus Christ to help them to walk away and be free to laugh again.

                                I am a survivor of domestic violence and a success story.

 

                          Please pray for women around the world that have breast cancer.

                                  I am a survivor of breast cancer and God is my Healer.

 

                          Please pray for those that have lost their jobs, homes, cars, savings,

                             retirement pensions, and businesses; due to foreclosures, fires,

                                    bankruptcy, and the increase in oil and gasoline prices.

                                                                                                                                                                      

Pray for the many things that are happening in our country right now, the financial crisis, lost jobs, foreclosure on thousands of homes across our country, people that are not able to handle the stress in their lives, broken homes, missing women and children.

 

Pray for our children and teens that are bullied, attacked and harassed by others their age or older.  Parents must take a stand and implement authority on this issue and seek God's guideance and instructions on raising their children to respect, love, care, honor and to bond  friendships that will make a difference in that child's or teen's life that he/she will come to remember years later.   

 

 

I currently work part time for Kanawha County Schools Preschool as a Family Resource Worker enrolling children and working with families to ensure that they love, appreciate and are excited about their children's education beginning from 3 years old to 18 years old and then enjoy life as a college graduate and as a role model in our society.

                          To All Churches:

 

 

This bulletin is titled, ”SPECIAL OPS!” It means, “Operation Power Safeguard.” This “Special OPS!” is not for weak minds, weak knees, silent voices, shaky, flaky, and I want to mind my own business Christians. It is for the Anointed Bible Reading, Faith Believing, Prayer Warriors, God Worshipers, Tongue Talking, Foot Stomping, Hand Clapping, Hand Raising, Kingdom Builders, Apostles, Bishops, Pastors, Preachers, Anointed Leaders, Praise Teams and Worship Leaders, Choirs, Singers and Musicians, Prophets, Prophetesses, Deacons, Teachers, Faith Healers, Leaders of Excellence, and etc. Lets us band together and pray the devil out of our cities and towns. The start date and time is: RIGHT NOW. Who will join me? Who will raise the bar? Who will step up to the plate? Who will declare an all out war on the devil? This is a Joshua call of urgency; tweet everyone, facebook everyone, call and email everyone you know and let us do it.

Be blessed in the Lord.

As a Christian, we must fly over the storm like an eagle, which is noted for their strength, size, and keenness of vision and powers of light. Then we must be noted for our anointed walk, being united in numbers, seeing and knowing our vision and destiny, and releasing the power of the Holy Ghost within us.    



                      




    


                              Daily Bible Reading changed weekly:



                     


                                                    Read: Job  Chapter 42



  
 
Isaiah 53:5
 
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
 
 
 
 
 
2 Thessalonians 3:1
 
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
 
 
 
 
 
 
1 Peter 2:9
 
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
 
 
 
 
 
1 Peter 3:12
 
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
 
 
 
Hebrews 4:16
 
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
 
 
 
 
 
Ephesians 4:32
 
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
 
 
 
  
 
 
"Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and He will surely bless you and your family."
 
 
 
 
 
  
Like a red rose bud, you too can bloom, one soft petal at a time and rise to the occasion of loving and giving God the Honor and the Glory.
 
I give my God the highest praise --- Hallelujah.
