Jesus wants A Few Good Men! Living A Life You Always Wanted!
Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup) (marine cornel) YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH ?.Son, we live a worldthat has walls and those walls have to be guardedby men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt.Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than youcould possibly fathom. You curse the marines. Youhave that luxury. You have that luxury of notknowing what I know. And that my existence asgrotesque and incomprehensible to you, saveslives. I know down deep in places you don't wantto talk about, you don't want me on that wall, youneed me on that wall. We use words like HONOR,CODE, and LOYALTY. We use these words as the verybackbone of a life spent defending something. Youuse them as a punch line. I have neither the timenor the inclination to explain myself to a man whorises and sleeps under the blanket of the veryfreedom I provide. I prefer you to just say thankyou and go on your way. Otherwise, I suggest youpick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, Idon't give a crap what you think you are entitledto!" (end of scene) You will not be able to find more honorable, loyaland mentally strong people on this earth than aUnited States Marine. Their very COR values ofwhy they exist stands on a firm foundation of;Honor, Loyalty and Strength. If you want anyoneon your side and on top of that wall it would be aMarine. No matter what the mission it's themarines that are the first ones in and the lastones to leave. If you happen to ask any marine whythey do what they do? All of them would say, "It'snot about politics, pride, or pillage." They wouldsay, "It's about the man standing beside me everyday in battle. They are the ones I do it for." Years ago we lived in a world with fewer choices,not as many worries and words spoken with moreencouragement and meaning behind them. And withthat came Honor in what we had, Truth in the wordswe used and Loyalty to the ones we loved. Todaywe live in a world full of businesses, stress ofunbearable proportions, and words sugar coated inorder to please everyone including "Barney" thedog. Today we live in a world where pride in ourvalues, love for our creator, and words of lovefor others are all but spoken behind closed doors. "A few good men that's all. A few good people whowill honor me when the good times roll. A fewthat will stand on that wall for truth conveyedthrough biblical code. And just give me a few thatwill be loyal to the end through times ofadversity." That is what Jesus says and wants fromus today. You will not be able to find a more honorable,loyal and mentally strong person in the entireuniverse than in Jesus Christ. His very COREvalues of why we exist stands on a firm foundationof; Honor and love to his father, code in thetruth of his word, and loyalty to us in hispromises of his returning. If you want anyone onyour side and on top of that wall it would be aman whom has already given his life and that isJesus Christ. No matter what each one of ourmission's are in life or what war we are fightingwith the devil, it's Jesus who is the first one byour side and the last one to leave. And I bet ifyou asked Jesus today why did he do it? Why didyou lay down your life for us, he would say thesame, "It's not about politics, pride or pillage,it's about love for those standing on that wallfor me. It's about love for those speaking thetruth on my behalf and it's for those loyal to meto the very end. That's why I did it, I did it forlove. Today, God is saying to all of us "All I want area few good men." Is Jesus speaking to your hearttoday? This week you may do battle; you may notbe given credit for something you deserve, thedevil may place doubt in your mind about gods wordor someone close to you betrays or is disloyal toyou. Stand tall on top of that wall, be willing tospeak the truth in Love and be willing to go theextra mile out of loyalty. It will be then youwill hear him say in heaven well done good afaithful soldier. Never forget we are at war not only with terrorismbut with the devil. He wants our hearts and minds.However, let us remind him to that we have Jesuson the wall for us, we have Jesus on our side tofight each battle we face. This week may bring youa battle or two but just remember our battle hasalready been fought for us through the blood shedon Calvary.

Heaven Bound: Win The Race! Billy Graham once said, "Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion; it is like a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ." Why We Choose Our Parents There is a concept in Jewish mystical thought known asgilgul, which can be translated as reincarnation.Gilgul does not necessarily mean that a soul in itsentirety has been reincarnated; it may only be anitzotz, or spark of a soul, that is reincarnated.That is to say that an individual can possess anitzotz from the soul of someone who has livedpreviously. Gilgul occurs when the precedingincarnation of that soul has more to accomplish. The Importance and Necessity of Special Revelation - Part Two Part Two Continued The Recipe for Love - Christmas Special "This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:12-13) KJV Gods and Energy An interesting question that frequently comes up is "Which Gods do you follow or worship?" The True Self as the Hidden Man of the Heart The Apocalypse, or unveilling, is the name given to the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. The Book of Daniel is an apocalypse. So is Isaiah. The entire bible is an unveiling of the consciousness of man evolving from the human(OT) to the divine(NT). Creating Our Own Emotional Chaos It's amazing how - even when we're working from a "higher vision" - we still see the people, the events and the circumstances in our lives with the same perspective: our own! It's "only human" to always be able to see how right we are in any given situation, and it's always difficult - and sometimes impossible! - to look at ourselves and our actions through the other person's eyes. But if we really want to grow - if we really want to know who we are - then we have to be willing to look at ourselves a little more objectively - a little more realistically - then we're used to doing, and we have to be willing to accept responsibility - both for the way we express ourselves emotionally, and for the effect we have on other people through that expression. Tarot Basics A Tarot card deck typically consists of 78 colorful cards imprinted with what many deem fascinating and curious images. The cards, each filled with a particular meaning and portent, most often come somewhat larger than ordinary playing cards and make an impressive display when ritually laid out. This deck of special cards can be used by a trained "reader" for glimpsing into his or her own future or that of another person for whom the cards are read. The Tarot deck, divided into Major Arcana and Minor Arcana, contains 22 symbolic cards and 56 suit cards ? wands, swords, cups, and pentacles ? interestingly also called "pip" cards. Looking Back With A Pained Expression Anyone who tells you that the path to self-actualization is an easy one has never walked it. Along the way, we meet - head on! - the skeletons in our personal closets, and the process of coming to terms with our past and al that it brought into our lives is a long and solitary one. It's such a dark and lonely space that many people give up the journey, deciding that the "present moment self" - as imperfect as it may be! - will just have to suffice in this lifetime. My Experience with Spiritual Healing Healing is a special gift that any human being can have. It is fortunate that we are provided with the opportunity to acknowledge and develop it. There is no difference from any human being performing healing and Christ healing. The only difference is if you belong to a large institution like a Catholic church where healing is sometimes defined as a miracle. Many great healers came into our plane and performed their miracles, such as Edward Cayce, Harry Edwards and many others known and unknown to us. The good part of it is that we are all healers. The only difference between a full pledged healer and any one of us is very simple. A healer is a human being who has dedicated his or her life in order to help humanity and to show us that we are not alone, by becoming a channel for the spirit to do their work. Many powers are beyond our sense of understanding or belief system. If this is your path in this lifetime then this will become part of your life because you have already been chosen for that path. The Pizza Parable Behold, a certain young maiden did often times and at strange hours greatly desire a pizza. This would often happen in the second or the third watch, when home delivery was not available. At such times there would be much weeping and gnashing of teeth because she could not have the desire of her heart. Why Worry The possibility of almost 400 Old Testament prophesies coming to fulfillment in the incarnation of Jesus Christ, apart from God's sovereign control of history, staggers the imagination. The certainty that God planned the coming of His son into the world can offer stabilizing support to our faith in our Lord. Creating A Tithe Account Almost every spiritual and religious teaching exhorts its followers to donate a portion of their income to the support of the community and the common good, both as a way of ensuring (and insuring) the community's ability to care for its own and as a way to allow the tither to realize the extent of and to express gratitude for their own success. Although each religion and sect has its own idea of what constitutes a proper tithe (usually around 10% of the participant's earnings), the concept of tithing is a wise and long-standing tradition - one that each of us should be encouraged to add to our lives. I Count It All Joy A new chapter in my life begins today, the anniversary of my birth. It is therefore necessary that I pause to reflect upon this past year. Surviving Separation: A Cinderella Story I want to tell you a love story. It's actually about a girl named Cinderella. I'm sure you're familiar with the fairy tale but I'm going to tell you the TRUE story. Surrounded By His Glory As communion was being passed this morning, I listened to the song "I Can Only Imagine" by Mercy Me. I fought to keep the tears in my eyes. I didn't want break down sobbing during that incredible song like normal. Being in a wheelchair and physically disabled, the chorus brings fantastic, breathtaking images to my mind:"Surrounded by Your glory, Perception of Freedom Sometimes we're already free but we don't realize it. We don't believe it or act like it? If I Were Satan: Medicine and Faith From Hell If you were Satan and your goal is to destroy as many lives as you could, what are the two institutions you could attack that would destroy more lives than wars and natural disasters combined? Readjusting Our Eye Focus Peter is a man after my own heart. I feel a certain bond with him. Perhaps, it is because he reminds me of myself at times and my friends and family at other times. Or it could be that I see Peter in all of us as we walk the Christian path and strive to serve Christ obediently, and yet, possessing shortcomings that can become our own stumbling stones. Am I W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G.? Are you?
