HOLY GOD'S FUNNEL!!!!!!!!!
HOLY GOD'S FUNNEL?????
"What in the world is that?!?!???
Well, actually...it is not OF THIS WORLD!!!!!!!
Psalm 63:3-5.....
(Oh God) Because YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS is better than
life,
My lips SHALL PRAISE YOU.
Thus I WILL BLESS YOU (Oh GOD!!!)
while I Live.
I will lift up my hands in YOUR NAME.
My soul shall be satisfied (as with abundance).....
And my mouth SHALL PRAISE YOU WITH JOYFUL LIPS."
Psalm 47:1-2.....
"Shout to GOD with the voice of triumph!
For the LORD MOST HIGH is awesome!"
Psalm 113:5-6
"Who is like the LORD OUR GOD,
Who dwells on High,
WHO HUMBLES HIMSELF to behold the things
that are in the heavens and on the earth?"
Definition: Humble, shaphel ("shah-fail")
Strongs #8213. To humble, bring down, or make low...
"GOD, WHO dwells on high, HUMBLES HIMSELF,
to watch what is occurring in heaven and on earth."
I Timothy 2:8...
"I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, with the lifting
up of holy hands, without wrath and doubting."
Prayer (and worship) with the lifting
up of holy hands.....The... hands were lifted
and spread out toward heaven
as a posture of SURRENDER.
I once heard of a speech therapist teaching a group of worship leaders:
He (the speech therapist) stated:
"The best (most effective) body position for singing is-
standing with both arms extended upward"with our
hands farther apart than the width of our shoulders-----
Indeed that position is similar to the shape of a FUNNEL-----
whereby our hearts, and our lives can be like a funnel -
through which the VASTNESS OF ALMIGHTY GOD
can flow through our lives into the VAST NUMBER of LIVES
all over the earth that NEED HIM!!!
ONLY BY HIS GRACE, our LORD has given me understanding...
(Please bear with me now, please be asking the HOLY SPIRIT to
"...guide you into all truth." (As Jesus says in John 16:13.).
It is as if you and I are in the narrow part (the "neck") of a
funnel.........
When we are HUMBLE.....our head (and heart) are bowed down-----
so the VASTNESS OF GOD'S LOVE can flow through the
narrow part of the funnel to those (everyone!) who needs HIM!!!
BUT, when we are arrogant, proud, "stiff-necked".....
then our upraised head and neck BLOCK the flow and the LORD
GOD MOST HIGH cannot flow through us (the funnel) to the
people.
Let us ALWAYS remember that THE ONLY TRUE GOD (John 17:3),
"GOD MOST HIGH" (Psalm 47:2), "THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL"
(Isaiah 29:19)---HE says to us in (James 4:10)---
"Humble YOURSELVES in the sight of the LORD, and
HE will lift you up."
"Oh come, Let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the LORD our MAKER...
OH WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAULTY OF
(HIS) HOLINESS!"
TREMBLE BEFORE HIM, ALL THE EARTH."
(Psalm 95:6, Psalm 96:9)

"THE 2ND FLOOD!!!!!!!!!
THE SECOND(?) FLOOD??????
A few years ago, the movement of tectonic plates in the earth's crust caused that
most terrible tsunami that flooded many parts of Southeast Asia. Many people
were killed by that tsunami - as it destroyed everything in its path.
We have floods in many coastal locations in the USA, (And some states which have no
ocean coasts) have been flooded by BIG storms...hurricanes, tropical depressions, etc.
JESUS CHRIST - the ONE (BORN in a STABLE)---is the ULTIMATE HOLY STABILITY---
because ("HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER."III (Hebrews 13:8)
Yet HE changed EVERYTHING by HIS Birth, Life, Crucifixion, Death,, Resurrection, Reign,
and Soon Return!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Flood in Noah's Time (COVERED) all of the earth ------- (EVEN) the highest mountains
(Yes, including Mount Everest) with approximately 22 and 1/2 feet of water...thus cleansing the
earth physically and spiritually, thus enabling a New Beginning!!!
The Flood in Noah's time lasted 150 days.
THE 2ND FLOOD - THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST [BEGAN (in time) approximately
One thousand, nine hundred and 84 years ago;
IN THE SPIRIT - the 2ND FLOOD began before the foundation of the world (Please see Ephesians 1:4).
This FLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST'S BLOOD IS (MORE!!!!)than enough to cover the earth, and to
"cover"/FORGIVE/ and wash away EVERY sin of EVERY Person who ever lived on the earth!!!
Also, the FLOOD of JESUS' BLOOD IS MORE THAN ENOUGH to heal every person who ever
lives on earth (body, mind, spirit, heart, and soul)!!!
The name "NOAH" means "rest, relief, comfort".
ONE (1) of JESUS CHRIST'S names is "The Father of all mercies and God of all comfort". (Please see II Corinthians 1:3).
JESUS HIMSELF is our "RESTING PLACE"
"Come to Me, all you labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
"The Beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by Him, Who shelters him all the day long; and
he shall dwell between HIS shoulders" (Deuteronomy 33:12)
The SALVATION "effects of this SECOND FLOOD are eternal, and will carry us INTO ETERNITY!!! (Psalm 23:6)
WE DO NOT want to flee from this the 2nd Flood!!!
We must WELCOME THE BLOOD OF JESUS, submit to it that we may be saved and healed.
Indeed, we should actively "PLEAD" THE BLOOD OF JESUS over ourselves and others daily
for forgiveness, healing, protection, peace, provision, and more!!!
For forgiveness See Hebrews 9:22
for protection See Exodus 12:13
For peace See Colossians 1:19-20/Eph. 2:14
For provision See Psalm 105:37a
For healing See Isaiah 53:5
For redemption See Ephesians 1:7
For Salvation See Mark 14:4/Acts 4:12
We do NOT want an ark to rescue us from HIS BLOOD '
We want to carry Nothing of this "old self"
nor "old world" with us into heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET'S BOW BEFORE THIS FLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST'S BLOOD...
SUBMITING OURSELVES TO ITS HOLY (ETERNAL) CLEANSING!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOW!!! SUBMIT!!! IMMERSE!!! AND PLEAD HIS BLOOD--- AND PRAY
SO THAT MANY, MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL BE COVERED AND FILLED UP
FOR ETERNITY.

HOLY GOD'S MATH!!!!!!!!!
HOLY GOD MOST HIGH, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL..CAN ADD AND MULTIPLY!!!!!!!!!
JOSEPH, the husband of Mary and the earthly father of JESUS,.......There are no words recorded in
the BIBLE spoken by JOSEPH.....(zero).
So, some might conclude that he was not very important-----But if we think that-----we could hardly be more wrong!!!!!!
HOLY GOD - WHO KNOWS ALL---chose Joseph to be JESUS CHRIST'S earthly father-------
which is a VERY IMPORTANT role to play---which affected (ALL) of history occurring after Jesus'
birth----including you and me!!!!!!!
Of course it IS recorded in the BIBLE (Matthew 1:18 - 2: 13) that "...an angel of the LORD appeared to him (Joseph) in a dream and spoke to Joseph..."
SO GOD spoke to Joseph through "an Angel of the LORD in a dream" at least three (3) times........
and Joseph did what was COMMANDED!!!!!!!!!
The Bible dictionary states that the name "JOSEPH" means ("May GOD add").
So Joseph, who speaks no words in the BIBLE, heard from GOD in dreams---And He obeyed what GOD commanded---and GOD "added" through Joseph what was needed through an earthly father to
the SON WHO is "THE WORD OF GOD" (John 1:1/Revelation 19:13/ I John 1:1)
And "MULTIPLY"--- HOLY GOD is continuing to use HIS WORD to transform ALL OF US
His believers more and more into the image of HIS SON (II Corinthians 3:18)!!!!!!!!!
"MY WORD SHALL NOT RETURN TO ME VOID (empty, fruitless), BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING FOR WHICH
I SENT IT." (Isaiah 55:11)
OH, COME LET US ADORE HIM!!! JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!

"AN ANGEL HELPS ELLIE"
It was a cold, COLD day during the winter. There was a very cold wind blowing across
Lake Lanier.
A friend, Let's call her "ELLIE", who lived in an apartment on the shore of Lake Lanier;
Ellie decided to step out onto her deck ("for just a moment") to look at the lake.
Ellie had not been feeling well that day. When she stepped out onto the deck she closed
the door................somehow when she closed the door.........somehow the door
"locked itself".
So here is Ellie, already not feeling well........and now she is LOCKED outside in the icy
wind.!!
Ellie fainted.
Hours later, Ellie woke up in her warm, cozy bed INSIDE her apartment!!!!!
Ellie was quite puzzled as to HOW she got past a locked door, into her apartment and
and into that "toasty-warm" bed!!! She had no recollection of seeing anyone, and she KNEW
that NO ONE other than she herself had a key to her doors.
When I heard of Ellie's experience........Our HOLY LORD GOD prompted me to write a
letter to Ellie, and share with her (Hebrews 1:1,7, 14):
"GOD...has in these last days spoken to us by HIS SON, whom HE has appointed heir
of all things, through WHOM also HE made the ages:
WHO being the Brightness of HIS GLORY and the express image of HIS PERSON...
"And of the angels HE says: 'WHO makes His angels spirits and His ministers flames
of fire........."
"Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those WHO WILL INHERIT
SALVATION?
a)[The word here used as "minister" does not mean pastor nor preacher.....it means those who
help, take care of, assist people, etc.; b) The word used above for "inherit" is better translated
to mean "receive" ].
In sending this scripture and letter to Ellie, I was showing her that it was (1) an angel who helped her
and (2) that she should receive salvation!!!!!!!!
I have not seen nor heard from Ellie in many years-----so I do not know ALL that GOD has done
in and through her life since that day............
But I DO KNOW ISAIAH 55:11 -
"So shall MY word be that goes forth from MY mouth; it shall not return to ME void (empty,
fruitless) But it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent
it."
I DO KNOW EPHESIANS 3:20 - (Amplified Bible)
"NOW TO HIM WHO BY THE ACTION OF HIS POWER THAT IS ABLE TO CARRY OUT HIS PURPOSE AND DO FAR OVER AND ABOVE ALL THAT WE DARE ASK OR
THINK, INFINITELY BEYOND OUR HIGHEST PRAYERS, DESIRES, THOUGHTS,
HOPES, OR DREAMS..."
AND I AM ALSO REMINDED OF DEUTERONOMY 33:27 -
"THE ETERNAL GOD IS YOUR REFUGE, AND UNDERNEATH ARE THE
EVERLASTING ARMS..." (Everlasting can also be translated as EVERPRESENT).
The arms of Jesus Christ that were on His cross - are everpresent with us, and always welcoming
us that we may rest there!!!!!
NOW AND FOREVER ALL AWE, REVERENCE, PRAISE, THANKSGIVING, GLORY,
HONOR, OBEDIENCE, LOVE (AND SO MUCH MORE) BE GIVEN TO JESUS CHRIST
LORD OF LORDS, KING OF KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS WORTHY!!!!!!!!!!!! (REVELATION 5:12)

PERSECUTION / KILLING NUMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE 2nd Sunday in November each year is the INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER
FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH!!!!!!!
How many of you that are reading this---can count?
"One, two, three", (etc.)
Very good! Ok---
As you can see, we are talking about numbers!
Let's Read this carefully, Please.
1........3 (one LEADS TO 3)
In most countries, 1+2=3;
But in some countries, 1 leads to 3.
In some nations, if 1 (one) person is found to have a Bible---
Then, 3 (GENERATIONS) of that family will be (KILLED)!!!
For example, if MY family were in one of those nations, and if either of our daughters
(Katy or Carrie) were caught with a Bible, the Military of that nation would gather together
all of our family: Mary, me (Barry), Katy and Carrie, and our 5 grandsons (David, Michael,Chandler, William and Beau)!
First, they would kill Mary and me--while FORCING our children (Katy and Carrie),
and our 5 grandsons to WATCH US TO BE KILLED.
Then next, they would kill all 5 of our grandsons - while FORCING Katy, Carrie, and their husbands to WATCH WHILE THEIR CHILDREN WERE BEING KILLED!
(It has happened that the torturers would cut off the eyelids (of the family) ---so they could NOT AVOID seeing the
family be killed).
Last, they would KILL Katy, Carrie and their husbands!!
Now, look at/pick up YOUR BIBLE---
the enemy (Satan!) understands how DANGEROUS GOD'S WORD is to him (Satan) and his kingdom -- so he will do ANYTHING to stop
God's people from knowing God's Word!!!
( 2 Timothy 3.12) "Yes, and all who desire to live Godly in CHRIST JESUS will suffer persecution."
MORE NUMBERS:
Every month..................322 Christians are KILLED for their faith in Jesus Christ.
Every month...................214 Churches and Christian properties are DESTROYED.
Every month....................772 Acts of violence are committed against Christians.
215,000,000 Worldwide (two hundred fifteen million) Christians face persecutions on a regular basis.
On a scale, Persecution ranges from - not being allowed to go to school,
nor being allowed to have a job, or not being allowed to get water from the only clear well in a large area........ranging to torture, or being killed for their faith.
The last number we will look at this time is:
1 (ONE)
THESE ARE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN JESUS CHRIST that are being persecuted!!!!!!!!
******** Will each ONE of us agree to make a contribution to help our brothers and sisters
to have a BIBLE, food, medical supplies, etc?
Will each 1 (ONE) of us agree to pray for our brothers and sisters? You?
*******Our brothers and sisters do NOT ask us to pray that the
persecution will be stopped.........
Instead, they ask us to pray that "they will have the strength to CONTINUE
to witness until they lead their PERSECUTORS to a Saving relationship[
with JESUS CHRIST!!!
Please see the information below for mailing address, and internet site at
which you can contribute to help them have a BIBLE, food, medical supplies, etc.
Also, at the web site, you can request that they send to you a monthly prayer calendar
which lists individual prayer needs.

INTIMATE LOVE FROM GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
INTIMACY.....
"In to me see"...
Many years ago, (Before the first of 3 knee surgeries), I frequently arose from bed
extra early and enjoyed running before I drove to work.
On a particular morning in Clermont, Ga, I got up, got dressed, and went out to run.
Somewhere, I stopped running, and had a MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF WORSHIPING
HOLY GOD.
At that point in my life, that was the most JOYOUS time of worship I had ever experienced!!!
As those moments passed, I cried out to GOD,
"Father, this is the relationship with YOU that I want for (our daughters Katy and Carrie) to
have!!!
[Of course, GOD did not answer me with His audible voice.........But HE certainly can if He
wants to!!!]
But HE did give me enough understanding to know that His answer was "No".
( I remember very clearly...Struggling to be both in reverent awe of HIM, and to be truthful)..........
I cried out "How can you say "NO" to that prayer??? That is the highest thing that I can pray
for them!!!"
Sooooo graciously, ABBA FATHER continued to give me understanding:
"MY love for EACH AND EVERY ONE of MY Children is so very INTIMATE - that the
Relationship that I have with You.........would not be as good (for them) as the one( I ) have specifically PLANNED for THEM!
"Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who has blessed us
with every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places in CHRIST,
Just as HE CHOSE US in HIM before the foundation of the world...Having pre-destined
us to adoption as sons by JESUS CHRIST, to HIMSELF...to the praise of the glory of HIS grace, by which HE made us ACCEPTED in the BELOVED."(Ephesians 1:3-6)
This letter (to the Ephesians) repeatedly insists the ground of all grace is the reconciling
death of JESUS CHRIST on the CROSS at the EXPENSE of HIS redeeming BLOOD.
(Ephesians 2:16).
HOLY GOD looked ahead, seeing us - and seeing what HE would make of us-----
then sent HIS SON JESUS to pay the Highest possible PRICE (His blood and life).....
so HE (GOD) CAN LIVE WITH US INTO ETERNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALWAYS AMAZING GRACE!!!!
THANK YOU OH HOLY LORD!!!!!!!!
INTIMACY.....
"In to me see"...
Many years ago, (Before the first of 3 knee surgeries), I frequently arose from bed
extra early and enjoyed running before I drove to work.
On a particular morning in Clermont, Ga, I got up, got dressed, and went out to run.
Somewhere, I stopped running, and had a MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF WORSHIPING
HOLY GOD.
At that point in my life, that was the most JOYOUS time of worship I had ever experienced!!!
As those moments passed, I cried out to GOD,
"Father, this is the relationship with YOU that I want for (our daughters Katy and Carrie) to
have!!!
[Of course, GOD did not answer me with His audible voice.........But HE certainly can if He
wants to!!!]
But HE did give me enough understanding to know that His answer was "No".
( I remember very clearly...Struggling to be both in reverent awe of HIM, and to be truthful)..........
I cried out "How can you say "NO" to that prayer??? That is the highest thing that I can pray
for them!!!"
Sooooo graciously, ABBA FATHER continued to give me understanding:
