There are moments of joy…moments of fear…moments of deep sorrow…moments of difficult decision…moments of wrenching anger…moments of regret…moments of laughter…moments of reflection. All of these happen many times during our lifetime; but…there is only ONE moment that you go through one time, when you realize that you are finally totally broken. It is at that very moment when you know, beyond a shadow of doubt, that
it’s now time for the rebuilding…time to serve God in the fullest way possible. It’s your time in the sun given you by the “Son”. It’s the time of reaping and sharing the harvest you never thought was possible. It’s a time when you know you can close your eyes and pray and KNOW that if you just pray hard enough, that the enormous mountain that has been before you, WILL move despite all reason that it cannot. The road opens…the mountain moves by just your simple humble prayer…the tears of triumph from victory over so much tragedy flow and completely change you…it all finally make sense and the joy is unspeakable because there are no words available to describe it. You see….it’s a moment that happens when you have walked…even crawled over dirt and broken glass…through that seemingly neverending violent storm… and realize that you have finally arrived at your destination without harm. It’s about reflection upon all those moments when all seemed hopeless and despair came…then God provided the way of escape, just as He promises to always do for all of His children that serve Him. It’s the moment when you know that you know that you know…without doubt or double-mindedness that He will never leave you or forsake you, and that He never has. It’s that moment when all that you have been through was to make you His true servant. It’s that moment when you know that by never taking their eyes off His beautiful Face and never letting go of His outstretched Hands, He has made you whole.

Thank you, Abba Father, for breaking me and all those heavy chains that bound me during all those “moments”. I’m here to stay… on Teshuvah Road…never to turn left or right and never to look back. I am here on Teshuvah Road…the road I will stay on until I am with you for all eternity! Whatever it is, I will do it…just for only You; my hands are holding Your hands and I promise to never let go.

In Yeshua’s Name,
Amen.

Teshuvah Road

Just wanted to ask you all for prayer. My husband and I are about to purchase a Winnebago in order to travel all over the US…as God directs, in order to End Addiction. We’re doing this to do Free & Low Cost Drug & Alcohol Interventions. We will be focusing on addiction within the churches all over this country. It’s a path that has not yet been paved in this way, so we’re going to be pioneers. It won’t be easy, so we will need your prayers. As God leads, we will be leaving in between 8 and 12 weeks; in any event, before the first of the new year.

One of the ways we will be raising some money is by providing super low cost ads for small and large businesses alike as well as for those doing direct sales and home parties. The first of many sites to be raised up is at http://AddictionRescueAds.com . If you know anyone working for themselves, we would appreciate passing this site along. I am also soon forming a Non-Profit in order to be able to receive donations. Also in the works is building a Christian Rehab in Montana. This Rehab will NOT promote the 12 Step failure system. We will be promoting a very unique Biblically based program that ENDS addiction – once and for ALL.

We will be going from church to church,  schools, and wherever else God leads.  We know that this is what we are to do for the rest of our lives.  It’s a bit scary, but I always think of my favorite Scripture…”For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of Power, and of Love, and of a Sound Mind”.  With that said, it’s all going to be awesome.  Awesome doesn’t mean easy by any means.  It just means that God’s Holy Spirit and His Power will be working in us.

Thanks, ahead of time, for your prayers.

Loved one addicted? Arrange for a professional Intervention and save their life and soul.

This is an article that I got off of another site.  I MUST preface this by my own comment and would love to hear all of yours.  The government is trying to attach the blame of Prescription Drug Addiciton to the “victims” and not to the Legal Dealers (the DOCTORS).  I am FURIOUS to read this!  You can be sure that this WILL happen in each and every state here.  Why will that happen?  This will happen to get eyes off of the protected doctors and on to the patients.  We will have jail cells filled with innocent victims who are addicted to pills because of their “trusted” doctors.  OK…now, I need to go to my “screaming room” and scream and to my prayer closet to pray.

BY LYNN BONNER – STAFF WRITER Sheriffs in North Carolina want access to state computer records identifying anyone with prescriptions for powerful painkillers and other controlled substances. The state sheriff’s association pushed the idea Tuesday, saying the move would help them make drug arrests and curb a growing problem of prescription drug abuse. But patient advocates say opening up people’s medicine cabinets to law enforcement would deal a devastating blow to privacy rights. Allowing sheriffs’ offices and other law enforcement officials to use the state’s computerized list would vastly widen the circle of people with access to information on prescriptions written for millions of people. As it stands now, doctors and pharmacists are the main users. Nearly 30 percent of state residents received at least one prescription for a controlled substance, anything from Ambien to OxyContin, in the first six months of this year, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services. Nearly 2.5 million people filled prescriptions in that time for more than 375 million doses. The database has about 53.5 million prescriptions in it. Sheriffs made their pitch Tuesday to a legislative health care committee looking for ways to confront prescription drug abuse. Local sheriffs said that more people in their counties die of accidental overdoses than from homicides. For years, sheriffs have been trying to convince legislators that the state’s prescription records should be open to them. “We can better go after those who are abusing the system,” said Lee County Sheriff Tracy L. Carter. Others say opening up patients’ medicine cabinets to law enforcement is a terrible idea. “I am very concerned about the potential privacy issues for people with pain,” said Candy Pitcher of Cary, who volunteers for the nonprofit American Pain Foundation. “I don’t feel that I should have to sign away my privacy rights just because I take an opioid under doctor’s care.” Pitcher is receiving treatment for a broken back. The ACLU opposed a bill in 2007 that would have opened the list to law enforcement officials, said ACLU lobbyist Sarah Preston. The organization would likely object to the new proposal. “What really did concern us is the privacy aspect,” she said. Opening the record to more users could deter someone from getting necessary medicine because of the fear that others would find out, she said, “particularly in small towns where everybody knows everybody.” The state started collecting the information in 2007 to help doctors identify patients who go from doctor to doctor looking for prescription drugs they may not need, and to keep pharmacists from supplying patients with too many pills. But only about 20 percent of the state’s doctors have registered to use the information, and only 10 percent of the pharmacies are registered. Many chain pharmacies aren’t connected to the Internet, said Andy Ellen, a lobbyist for the N.C. Retail Merchants Association. Pharmacy computers work on closed systems so they won’t be vulnerable to viruses that could slow or crash their networks. Pharmacies are trying to figure out a way around that obstacle to the controlled-substance prescriptions list, he said. Bettie Blanchard, a woman from Dare County whose adult son is recovering from addiction to prescription drugs, said doctors should be required to consult the list when prescribing controlled substances. She also wants doctors to get more education on prescribing narcotics. Doctors should be required to tell patients that the medicine they are being prescribed can be addictive, she said. William Bronson, who works in a drug control unit at DHHS, presented what could be a compromise to the sheriffs’ request – allowing local drug investigators to request information related to ongoing investigations, but not let them go in to the computer records themselves. Eddie Caldwell, lobbyist for the N.C. Sheriff’s Association, said the level of access to the data is up for discussion. “There’s a middle ground where the sheriffs and their personnel working on these drug abuse cases get the information they need in a way that protects the privacy of that information,” he said. “No one wants every officer in the state to be able to log on and look it up.” lynn.bonner@newsobserver.com or 919-829-4821 Read more: http://www.newsobserver.com/2010/09/08/669723/lists-of-pain-pillpatients-sought.html#ixzz0z36IQC2U

Very soon now headlines such as these will appear in your daily newspaper. You may not believe a word of this, but it is extremely important.

The purpose of this is to give you instructions on what to do when these newspaper headlines become a reality.  Prophetic Biblical events are exploding now with lightning-like speed, as God prepares the world for the sudden destruction and the cataclysmic judgments in the book of revelation. At the same time, God is preparing to remove born-again Christians from the face of the earth, in what is known as the rapture. Many of your Christian friends and relatives will be suddenly missing.

You can read about this awesome end-time event in the Bible in 1^stThessalonians 4:16-17, “for the lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the lord.”

Despite your doubt and unbelief now, when millions of people suddenly disappear, and the horrible judgments in the book of revelation begin to unfold before your eyes, you are going to need these instructions.

Remember, someone cared enough about you to see that you saw this, because they are concerned about your eternal destiny. Even if you choose not to believe this warning message, the least you can do is to save it for future reference. If you are one of those who are left behind, here are some simple basic biblical instructions on which your eternal destiny may be determined:

1. Get hold of a Bible and read the last book, the book of Revelation. Also read Matthew 24, Luke 17 and 21, Mark 13, and 1^st and 2^ndThessalonians. This will give you a basic understanding of what has just happened and what is about to happen. If you ask God to help you understand what you are reading, he will do it.

2. Recognize that you are now in what the Bible refers to as the tribulation period. Matthew 24:21 says, “for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”

According to the book of Revelation, over one-half of the population of the earth will perish during this horrific time of unparalleled disasters.

3. A world leader will emerge. The Bible refers to him as the Antichrist, or the beast. Read 2^nd Thessalonians 2 and Revelation 13, and Daniel 7:9 so that you can identify him for what he really is. Beware, for he is not a man of peace, but a man of great deception. Many Christians have already identified this evil man, as Barack Hussein Obama!!!

The vast majority of people will be deceived during this time,but you do not have to be one of them. 2^nd Thess. says, “and for this cause, God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

4. Never take a mark in your right hand or forehead!!! According to Revelation 13:16-17, you won’t be able to buy or sell anything without this identifying mark on your body. However, Revelation 14:9-11 says, “if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,…and He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone…and The smoke of their torment ascended up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”

What an extremely frightening picture! Go without food, or spend eternity in hell – which will you choose? Just like you rejected Christ before of your own free will God is still giving you a free choice. Will you follow Jesus Christ or the Antichrist???

5. You must recognize that to become a born-again Christian during the Tribulation, will almost certainly cost you your life!

Revelation 20:4 says, “I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which has not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

6. Following instructions 1 through 5 will still not get you into heaven. The most important instruction that the Bible gives to have eternal life in heaven is the same one that you should have followed before the rapture happened and the Tribulation began. That is, to repent of your sins and to accept Jesus Christ as your personal lord and saviour.

This world is full of people who mistakenly believe they are on their way to heaven. They are greatly deceiving themselves, as they will soon find out when the rapture takes place.

Who will be left behind???

1. All those who are counting on their church membership, church attendance, church affiliation, or religion to get them to heaven.

2. All those who are counting on their baptism to get them to heaven. Baptism is an act of obedience after salvation.

3. All those who believe that a belief in God, or faith in God, is all they need. Even Satan and all his demons believe in God.

4. All those who are trusting in their good works. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “for by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”

5. All those who have tried to become a “Christian”, without recognizing and repenting of the sin in their life. Romans 3:23 says, “for all have sinned”, and Romans 6:23 says, “for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord.”

You must repent of your sin, which means to turn away from your sin and to ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and life and give you power over that sin. True repentance must take place for you to be saved. Confessing your sins, or feeling remorseful for your sins is not enough.

If you are fortunate enough to have read this before the rapture has taken place, why don’t you ask Jesus to come into your life now. Then you will not have to worry about what to do after the rapture takes place – you will be among those who have disappeared yourself!!!

Jesus said in john 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me.” Won’t you put your complete hope and trust in Jesus, as your Lord and Saviour today?

if you are an unsaved person, or a backslidden, worldly, compromising, or lukewarm Christian, will you say this prayer, and really mean it in your heart:

“Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I repent of my sins. I turn away from my sin, and turn my life over to you, Jesus. I believe that you died on the cross for my sins. I believe that you are the son of God, and that you paid the penalty on the cross for my sins. I ask you now, to come into my heart and life to be my personal lord and saviour. Prepare my heart for your soon return, so that i can escape the horrible judgments that are soon to strike this planet. Jesus, prepare my heart for the rapture. Thank you lord, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL
PLEASE READ TO THE VERY END, IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

‘MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL’

You say you will never forget where you were when
you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke-filled room
with a man who called his wife to say ‘Good-Bye.’ I
held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the
peace to say, ‘Honey, I am not going to make it, but it
is OK..I am ready to go.’

I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized
he wasn’t coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
woman cried out to Me for help. ‘I have been
knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!’ I said.
‘Of course I will show you the way home – only
believe in Me now.’

I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He
heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was with the crew as they
were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the
believers there, comforting and assuring them that their
faith has saved them.

I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan .
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name – though not all knew Me. Some met Me
for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn’t hear Me calling to them through the
smoke and flames; ‘Come to Me… this way… take
my hand.’ Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You
may not know why, but I do. However, if you were
there in that explosive moment in time, would you have
reached for Me?Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey
for you. But someday your journey will end. And I
will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are
‘ready to go.’

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

God
During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are
doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it
is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the
following:

Stop and think and appreciate God’s power
in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to
Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the
instructions. Jesus said, ‘If you are ashamed of Me, I will be
ashamed of you before My Father.’

If you are not ashamed, copy and send this message…only
if you believe ‘Yes, I love my God. He is my
fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and
night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do
everything. Christ is my strength.’

This is what we do to Jesus when we sin such as doing drugs.  He goes through the pain again and again. Make the choice to stop drugs today.  Get HELP!  There comes a time when He must turn His face away…then, you’re on your way to the eternity you never wanted . PLEASE, God wants you to stop nailing Him to the cross.  Take the gift He gave you and honor Him… and get set FREE.

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,  and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,  if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;  but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

(Hebrews 6:4-8)
