Our Sufficiency, .... 'ALWAYS' !

Blessings, Dear Friends and Family !


The whiteness of our recent fresh snow seems in a way to be an 'affirmation', of the Purity and the many Graceful Promises of our Loving Lord and Saviour Yeshua/Jesus. He is most certainly our sufficiency during the Trials of Life. Our recent and very serious health situation with my dear wife 'Donna' , seems to have been Blessed by the Grace of God, in the form of an answering to so very many of 'Your' steadfast Prayers, and we Thank You for the Christian Care, Prayers and Love!. 
SO many people to Thank, and not enough 'two finger typing time' to list them all. I will however be sure to extend heartfelt Love and Thanx to Churches and groups, from the area as most prayers and help were initiated by these wonderful Ambassadors of Christ. 

Thank You, Thank You, ... and  Hallelujah !
We Pray God's Blessings to each whom Prayed, and 'displayed' Christian Love.

First Christian Church of Kittery Point
First Parish Church, York
The Longstanding York Bible Study Group at Susan Brindle's Home
Our Blessing of a Mentor, Rev. Dr. Wilbert D. Gough
and his Sentry Hill Bible Study
Maine Equal Justice Partners
Attorney, Jack Comart
And, so many individuals whom we are very Blessed to call Friend's in Christ !

WE  ARE  ALSO  GRATEFUL FOR THE MANY 'EMPATHETIC' DOCTORS and  ADMINISTRATORS
AT MASS. GENERAL & MASS. EYE & EAR . THEIR UNPARALLELED CARE, SKILL, AND EMPATHY SOON BROUGHT COMFORT, DESPITE A VERY UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE MADE WORSE BY A 'local' HOSPITAL !
They too were an unexpected 'God-Sent' Blessing to a Dangerous Experience !

So, Here's the Long and Short of Things !
On Oct. 18th, we presented to a local Hospital with 'terrible displayed health'
We Were Discharged with Meningitis, and a 17,000 WBC, and a script for Augmentin,
only to be 'called back', the next day.
Around 2 weeks later, Dear Donna was discharged with a BRAIN LEAK !!!

Through God-Sent HELP, we were referred by local ENT Extraordinaire, Dr. Bret Rankin MD
to the Chief of Mass. Eye & Ear Neuro-Sinus Surgeon who was among '3' Outside Hospital Doctors who evidently 'SAW' a Brain Leak on the CT of our FIRST!,  Discharge Date.
Nonetheless, Your Prayers were heard above, and Donna's consequential Brain Surgery
seems to have literally SAVED HER through God's Endless Grace & Mercy through the answering of all of our Prayers!
DID  I  SAY  HALLELUJAH ?

This ' Life Season ' has oddly strengthened both our Marriage, and has provided me/us with
real life substance for a Sermon to beat All SERMONS! 
'GOD'S GRACE / OUR SUFFICIENCY'
I HAVE ALSO CHOSEN A COUPLE of PRAYERS WHICH  SEEM TO
VERY WELL SUM UP MY / OUR JOURNEY

Please allow me to 'preface' the following Prayers which seem to SO strongly match R Journey.

We are God's workmanship, from start to finish !  God leads and guides us into the Good Works 
that we are to do for Him.  Works that are in synchronicity with our God-Given Holy Spirit Blessings.  Jesus Christ / Yeshua HaMaschiach, / Christ is the Author and Finisher of Our Lives, as we see in ( Heb. 12:2 )
With That Said,.... ' WE do not write our own stories ! '
SO ! , ..... Here We Go !!!

These Prayers have been drawn from an 1832 Prayer Book found at a local book sale !
HYMNS  for  CHRISTIAN  MELODY
WE  THANK  YOU  FATHER !

authored by GEMS ?
HYMN  #  710
When all thy mercies, Oh my God, my rising soul surveys;
Transported with the view, I'm lost in Wonder, Love and Praise.
To all my weak complaints and cries, Thy mercy lent an ear,
Ere yet my evil and feeble thoughts had learned, to form themselves in Prayer.

When in the slippery paths of youth, with heedless thoughts I ran,
Thine arm unseen, had conveyed me safe,
and led me up to a man!
When worn with sickness, oft has thou
With health renewed my face;
And, when in sin and sorrow sunk,
Revived my Soul with Grace.
Ten Thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily Thanks employ,
Nor is the least  a Cheerful Heart, That tastes those gifts with joy.

Through every season of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death in distant worlds,
Thy Glorious Theme Renew !  .....  .ADDISON

Authored by CM,
SICKNESS and RECOVERY
HYMN #  813
I LOVE The Lord: He heard my cries, and pitied every groan:
Long as I live, when troubles rise, I'll hasten to His Throne.

I LOVE The Lord : He bowed His ear, And chased my griefs away.
Oh let my heart no more despair, while I have breath to Pray !

My flesh declined, my Spirits fell, and I drew near the dead;
While inward pangs, and fears of Hell, perplexed my wakeful head.

My God!, I cried, 'thy servant save'  Thou ever good and just;
Thy power can rescue from the grave; Thy power is All my Trust.

The Lord beheld me sore distressed ; He bade my pains remove:
Return my Soul, to God thy rest, For though has known His Love.


My God has saved my Soul from death, and dried my falling tears;
Now to His Praise I'll spend my breath, and my remaining years !
WATTS

This 1832 Hymn Book found was, as is ALL, 'designed by our maker'. It is GOOD, It is RIGHT,
and it was indeed God-Planned for 'Such a Time as This' ! ,... We Praise His Holy Name,
We are most Thankful for His Divine Love, and Divine Ways of our Saviour. INDEED, He is our sufficiency !  Please NEVER  FORGET, ..... the extra Umph !, .... can always be provided from above !,.... We simply need to ask !, .....' for what is written, .....WILL be done! '.
May all be covered by the shed blood of Christ, amidst this world of falling morality !

Last Minute 'Billy-Bob' !

Shalom my Dear Brethren !

I pray you may find the post to be edifying in Christ, as I will attempt to outline the FACT that ' If we SEEK Godly Blessings beneath the Wrapping paper of Tragedy, CHRIST will reveal the Holy Blessings to us, and His sufficiency of Love will indeed enable us to cut through the Worldly Chaos and overcome any worldly obstacle impeding our walk with Yeshua / Jesus.

MEANWHILE !
( Here is a 'last minute' opportunity with our Partners at Billy Graham Ministries )
BLESS  YOU  ALL  !

Praying for Health Care!

Hello Dear Family !

Very happy to say that I'm again on the mend, and the Lord has blessed me with loving reprieve on my continued port issue.  No 3rd surgery for now and I AGAIN, Praise God !

So !, speaking of HealthCare, and the national ' Critical Issue '. Here is some additional information regarding MAINE HEALTH CARE. I pray that by equipping one another with pertinent information is the very least we can do for each-other. 
Please feel free to check back tomorrow night for new announcements.
With Blessings of the Light of Christ,  b

Hi William,
Since Kathy Phelps of Winslow lost MaineCare health coverage in 2014, she has worked tirelessly to pass Medicaid Expansion and to speak up for the tens of thousands of people in Maine just like her. It's people like Kathy who are leading the fight to expand Medicaid and ensure the health of our communities and our entire state. 
This November 7th, Kathy and over 70,000 Maine people call on us to Vote Yes on 2. Are you with us? Pledge to vote yes here!
We know that accepting federal funds to expand Medicaid would mean that over 70,000 people would be able to get affordable health care. We've worked hard with all of you over the years to make this happen. The Maine legislature has passed legislation that would have authorized Maine to accept millions in federal funds to expand Medicaid with bipartisan support 5 times - but those efforts have been stalled by our Governor each time.
At the same time, over 40,000 Maine people have lost their Medicaid coverage due to state budget cuts and thousands more have not been able to get the help they need
This cannot stand. All of us benefit when our communities are healthy and strong. Kathy deserves access to the oxygen she needs for a decent quality of life.  Maine people deserve access to quality, affordable health care. That's why Maine Equal Justice, along with Maine citizens and our allies, are working to pass Question 2 at the ballot this November 7th.  
It's going to take all of us - please join us! We know the majority of Maine voters are with us. We also know that in an off-year election, voter turnout can be low. We need your help to get the word out!
6 weeks until election day: here are ways you can help! 
  • Are you on board to vote Yes on 2? Pledge to vote yes here
  • Check out the Yes on 2 website and like us on Facebook
  • Sign up here to volunteer and we'll connect you with your local organizer. Mainers for Health Care has regional organizers in Penobscot, Kennebec, Androscoggin, Cumberland and York counties. We also have a statewide organizer connecting all of you in small towns in other regions to the campaign! 
Volunteer Here!
  • Please consider making a donation to the campaign so we can continue to build support to pass Medicaid Expansion this November 7th!  The more grassroots donations we're able to secure, the more voters we'll be able to reach.  Thank you!
These are daunting times but we're moving full steam ahead to pass Question 2. We remain committed to our vision for Maine - that all people can live full and dignified lives with food in the fridge and a place to call home. And the ability to get the care they need when they need it. We don't think this is too much to ask. In fact, everyone's health and well being depends on it. 
Thank you for keeping up the fight with us!

Maine Equal Justice

Happy Monday Brethren !

Hello Friends,

What an absolutely beautiful day the Lord has afforded us here on the Southern Maine SeaShore!

Just a very quick note. Many of you may have received news about the upcoming FELLOWSHIP of CHRISTIAN ATHLETES Leadership Camp visit.
I will be posting new info. on this endeavor by this evening, as I have an out of town meeting this morning.
For now, I must ask you to scroll down 3 posts to locate FCA Camp info. Again, it will be updated this evening. Please feel free to email any questions.
PRAYER  REQUEST
Many of you have been Praying for our Sister in Christ, SUSIE HARPER as she's completed her Chemotherapy sessions. Susie completed these sessions like the trooper she is very grateful for all of your prayers. Today Susie goes in for a PET scan to evaluate newly found questionable image spots.
May I humbly ask you to continue your Prayers for Susie. That she be cleansed of this disease invader by the righteous blood of Christ Jesus. We,ve been desperately awaiting time to complete
more Kingdom Work with dear Susie, as she has also. WE Pray our Father provide healing and recovery to Susie that she might be physically able to serve Him as she So heartfully desires to do.
In Jesus' Name!
We will see Susie today, and update you later this week
GOD BLESS !

Pulpit Policy !

Blessings Dear Family in Christ Jesus !

Those of you whom know me on a very personal basis, understand that I try as hard as possible NOT to inter-mingle Pulpit duties with my personal health challenges, OR as a Social Justice platform which to this humble minister adds to the 'fine line of God-Centered ministry and messages.'
That said, and with the fact that ' Ministers are regular people too ', this remains a very confusing topic for me, as there are instances where I ask myself ' What Would Jesus Do ? ' ,..(thanx billy!)

During this time of  personal introspection, it appears a God sent message to this very topic arrived at my door in the form of my next issue of Billy Graham's DECISION magazine. Many questions to this regard were answered, some were not. Being a 'Maturing Christian', as we all are, I've chosen to at the very least post this HealthCare Advocacy message that is certainly important to my own health challenges, but more importantly important to thousands of others as our nation's HealthCare system
continues to crumble around political argument. I pray I've not crossed the line to this regard, but I firmly believe that as convicted Christians we need to at least point things out to one another, that the information may be a 'Blessing' to You or a Loved One. If you deem it appropriate, please feel free to pass this along. As I'm sure you are aware, the Doom and Gloom appearance of this issue appears to have a dark outlook. Please remember, this 'darkness' cannot overtake the issue IF we add the LIGHT
of Jesus Christ. Please take note that we DO NOT have plans to turn into any sort of Social Justice Ministry,....... LORD FORBID!  But, as I see it, if we as a Nation end up denying healthcare to patients with pre-existing afflictions, many of us will be denied the ability to serve HIM as we
feel SO convicted to do.
Bless You All
Dear William,

As part of our “Days of Action to Protect Your Healthcare Coverage” campaign, we want to be sure that you are up-to-date on the latest news in Washington D.C.

Right now, Majority Leader McConnell and Senate leadership are planning to move forward with a vote to repeal, and possibly replace, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) next week; possibly as early as Tuesday. There appear to be two options they are considering: either Senators will coalesce around a replacement package similar to the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), or they will try to repeal the ACA without any accompanying replacement.  

Here's why both of these options are incredibly problematic for individuals with rare diseases, and would result in patients on Medicaid or private insurance to lose access to care:

If the Senate is able to move forward with a version of the BCRA, individuals with rare diseases could lose access to life-saving Medicaid, and the orphan drugs, specialty hospitals, physician specialists, and programs to provide specialized care at home that it covers. In addition, the bill could then allow states to waive the Federal Essential Health Benefits (EHBs), and allow insurers to offer non-ACA-compliant health plans. Both of these provisions would undermine critical protections for patients with pre-existing conditions.

The second option under consideration, repealing the ACA without replacing it, would be just as damaging, maybe worse. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) tells us that 32 million people would lose insurance under this plan, and individuals with rare diseases and their families that purchase insurance on the marketplaces, or obtain coverage through Medicaid expansion, would rapidly lose their coverage.

Both of these options are unacceptable, and we need you to 
remind your Senators what’s at stake. 

Cutting Medicaid by $800 billion, rolling back pre-existing condition protections, and repealing without replacing would all harm rare disease patients.

Please take a moment to call (click here) or email (click here) your Senators. It only takes a moment, but it makes such a huge difference, especially for all the rare disease patients who far too often fall through the cracks or get lost in the shuffle.
Thank you for your continued support. Together we are strong.

Sincerely,

Paul Melmeyer
Director of Federal Policy
National Organization for Rare Disorders

Prophetic Times, Before Our Eyes!

Happy Friday Brethren !



Being the beginning of another God-Centered weekend, we thought this piece of REAL NEWS

would be worth ' Discernment ' to both our Christian AND Messianic Jewish believers and Family.



With Franklin Graham's recent Prayer Initiative in mind, which was centered around the 2nd Chronicles,

7:14 words of God, our 'God Chosen' government leaders seem to have heeded God's call to

" Restore God Centered Men ", to the White House. Our Christian Liberties are actually 'in process' of being restored, and we very firmly believe that we are upon a Spiritual Awakening not seen since the days of Martin Luther. PRAISE God, Praise Elohim !

Enjoy this piece of ' Real News ' which will likely not be shared via Main Stream sources.

God is hard at work on our behalf. Where do WE stand?,... What DECISIONS will WE make toward His Blessing of Answered Prayer ?

We Pray you might discern this thought and see fit to aid God's Church as well all usher in this pending REVIVAL in CHRIST !

Blessings to All, and be sure to check out our last post which highlights the International Fellowship of Christian Athletes " Maine Summer Leadership Camp ". There is still time to register your student athletes for this initiative which will prepare Student Athletes to be the Christian Beacons of Light that they might be, on their school campus'.

God Bless You All !,............ and have a GREAT WEEKEND

Back in the Saddle !

Sholom Dear Family in the Holy name of Yeshua/Jesus,

It is SO fulfilling to be 'Back in the Saddle', so to speak after an unexpected surgery complication and extended recovery time. Yet AGAIN, the limitless Grace of God has carried me through, and has again deepened my Faith in our Creator!
SO ! , ..... YES, as the song goes:....... " Our God is an Awesome God ! " lala, la la lalalala .
( if you've heard me lead a sermon, you know the gift of Song is not a Holy Spirit Gift of mine! )
GOTTA  LAUGH !

With apology for the Very Late notice (due again to setback), we wanted to share this very needed and God-Centered Fellowship of Christian Athletes Summer Camp Initiative. As we firm up a cohesive partnership with FCA, we will be sure to share FCA initiatives in a much more timely basis.
So, please enjoy and peruse this FCA initiative in hope a 'last minute' camper may be able to participate, and to enlighten you as to what would be available to your Children of God next Summer,
and in between.
May our Lord and Creator continue to enlighten your paths, and Bless You with The Strength of Jesus
in this most Paramount time for Christianity.

DO NOT LET YOUR ATHLETE MISS THIS CAMP

This Leadership Camp is THE camp that will equip your student-athlete to rise up and become the peer influence for Christ that you have been praying for him or her to be at school and among their peers.

Friends of FCA at the Top of Their Game

FCA has had many congratulatory wishes to hand out lately! Several friends of the ministry recently celebrated huge wins on the national sports stage, and used the honor to bring glory to God, as Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors won the NBA Championships, Matt Cullen and the Pittsburgh Penguins brought the Stanley Cup back to the Steel City, and Patty Gasso and the Oklahoma Sooners went on an incredible run to take the Women's College World Series title. Congrats to these amazing, godly athletes and their teams!
"I've always been a believer that the Lord has put whatever talent in you, whatever gift He has put in you, He wants you to get the most out of that. He wants you to succeed; He wants you to pursue and work and be passionate about it. It's not about getting any of the glory for yourself; it's all for His [glory]."
