Praise Ye The Lord...
Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights above.
Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were created. He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree that will never pass away.
Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding,
you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds, kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth, young men and maidens, old men and children.
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens. He has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his saints, of Israel, the people close to his heart. Praise the LORD.
Psalm 148 Chant

Trust I Am...
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you? I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Lord, I am so thankful that no one was able to take my life before I was born... I would not be here to praise You. Abba, Father, I now pray for the sanctity of life... for the unborn children all over the earth.
Your child,

A Message ... Love Was United
I want to share one of Vassula's messages she received from Jesus. In these messages for our times, God is calling us to repentance, reconciliation, peace and unity. There is a strong message here, one of Love n' Hope n' Unity, if we but listen and pray and act...
"I love you; it is I, Jesus, who gives you this urge to meet Me; love Me always; I will tell you, My desires; I wish to unite all My priests; I desire from them to love Me more; I want from them purity, zeal, faithfulness; priests must understand that unity reinforces love, unity establishes love; for how long will discord reign among them? love is unity; My love unites them to Me; My Church is weak with their discordance My desire is Unity; I wish that My Church becomes one;
But Lord, if You say there is discord, someone will have to give in. How will they know?
...they must pray for enlightenment; they should come to Me and draw from My Heart;
Whom are You referring to, Jesus? When You talk about them and they?
All My Church; I desire them to unite and become one; My Church has weakened because of this distinction; It has weakened enormously;
My Lord, to me this sounds like a new message.
I will enlighten you, by showing you, in small phases, the way I work;
First, the teachings to me...
yes,
...then training, then the Ecclesiastical Editions, of Peace and Love, then guidance of Peace and Love with messages?
...yes, and now My desires, My desires of uniting My Church; how can a body function if one or two of its members are disabled or injured or dismembered? would it have the same capacity and strength as one which is whole? My Church is My Body; how can My Body function if they disable It? daughter, draw My sign, this was the sign of the first Christians; love was one; love was united; Come now let us join in prayer; a prayer to the Father for Unity:
Father, I come to You and ask You to enlighten Your sheep, enlighten them to find Peace and Love in Unity, amen."

Thank you Farther Rick n' YouTube...
May we all hear the message n' unite together as the first church did. Peace n' Love, Elizabeth

A Jew’s prayer for the children of Gaza
Rabbi Levi Weiman-Kelman, of Kol HaNeshama, Jerusalem, who has visited Taizé several times, brings to our attention the following prayer which appeared in the Haaretz Newspaper.
If there has ever been a time for prayer, this is that time.
If there has ever been a place forsaken, Gaza is that place.
Lord, who is the creator of all children, hear our prayer this accursed day. God, whom we call Blessed, turn your face to these, the children of Gaza, that they may know your blessings, and your shelter, that they may know light and warmth, where there is now only blackness and smoke, and a cold which cuts and clenches the skin.
Almighty who makes exceptions, which we call miracles, make an exception of the children of Gaza. Shield them from us and from their own. Spare them. Heal them. Let them stand in safety. Deliver them from hunger and horror and fury and grief. Deliver them from us, and from their own.
Restore to them their stolen childhoods, their birthright, which is a taste of heaven.
Remind us, O Lord, of the child Ishmael, who is the father of all the children of Gaza. How the child Ishmael was without water and left for dead in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba, so robbed of all hope, that his own mother could not bear to watch his life drain away.
Be that Lord, the God of our kinsman Ishmael, who heard his cry and sent His angel to comfort his mother Hagar.
Be that Lord, who was with Ishmael that day, and all the days after. Be that God, the All-Merciful, who opened Hagar’s eyes that day, and showed her the well of water, that she could give the boy Ishmael to drink, and save his life.
Allah, whose name we call Elohim, who gives life, who knows the value and the fragility of every life, send these children your angels. Save them, the children of this place, Gaza the most beautiful, and Gaza the damned.
In this day, when the trepidation and rage and mourning that is called war, seizes our hearts and patches them in scars, we call to you, the Lord whose name is Peace:
Bless these children, and keep them from harm.
Turn Your face toward them, O Lord. Show them, as if for the first time, light and kindness, and overwhelming graciousness.
Look up at them, O Lord. Let them see your face.
And, as if for the first time, grant them peace.
Thank you Taize`

Jesus? Holy One?
I, the Lord, bless you and bless you; evangelize with love for Love; tell them that I love each one of them in a special way; tell them also that I am not a complicated God; I am not far, I am present at this very moment; tell them how I long for their love; show them what the Lord's Heart is; tell them that the Lord's Heart is nothing else but Love and Mercy and if Justice is brought down upon you it is because of the graveness of your sins and crimes; how many times I overlook all that you do not do in My favour and how many times I kept away the Father's Hand from falling upon you!
Jesus is My Name and Jesus means Saviour; I am the Saviour of all mankind;

Reminder from God…
"Never falter, go forward so boldly, so unafraid. I am beside you to help and strengthen you."
January 1, 2009 ... I am your Father before your earthly father; I have fathered you before your father of flesh; bind yourself to Me so that you do not lose Me from your sight and dishonor yourself; obey My principles but with a heart and not a rock; resolve to do right for the rest of your life but with a taste of joy; resolve to put an end to stifling My Holy Spirit of Grace around you so that you, too, can draw your breath in Him...
"I hold the year in My Hands in trust for you. But I shall guide you one day at a time. Each day I supply the wisdom and the strength."
-Two Listeners
Thank you John Michael Talbot n' YouTube
Abba Father, I bind myself and I bind my children to you; I bind their families to you. Let us see, know of your presence in our lives...daily
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus...Amen

To Seek Adonai...
O Lord, I cannot find words to praise You, yet I want to talk to You ...
I shall help you, write:
Yahweh visited me,
like a gust of wind, His Spirit lifted me
and showed me His Countenance,
He revealed to me: Tenderness, Love and Infinite Goodness,
He then showered me with Blessings
and offered me Manna in abundance
to share It with my brothers;
He walked with me in the land of oblivion,
from down among the dead
He took me among those who have forgotten Him,
He raised me, restoring the memory of my soul;
O Lord, Yahweh, how grateful I am!
may Your Sweetness, O Lord, be on us all,
blessed be Yahweh for ever and ever; Amen;
...and now, daughter, the terrors of the night are behind you and before you, I Am; I shall bring you safely Home, back where you belong... from True Life In God.
Thank you...eivega n' YouTube.
"Everything starts from prayer. Without asking God for love, we cannot possess love and still less are we able to give it to others. Just as people today are speaking so much about the poor but they do not know the poor, we too cannot talk so much about prayer and yet not know how to pray." Mother Teresa
I shall seek You all the days of my life...
In His Love,
Elizabeth
