He is a short haired, Tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half Man, half boy Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough To die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his Own car than wash his father's; but he has never collected unemployment either.

He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, But never to clean his rifle.
He can cook his own meals, Mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you In the midst of battle when you run low.He has learned to use his hands like weapons And weapons like they were his hands.

While at rigid attention, While tempering the burning desire to

He is the American Fighting Ma n That has kept this country free For over 200 years

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, you and your family are very important to me. As a faithful Breakthrough Platinum Covenant Partner you have blessed this ministry, and now I want to help you receive God's blessing in return. When you read in the Scriptures about the coming days before eternity, it is striking how much of what was prophesied thousands of years ago seems to be unfolding before our eyes today. Jesus Himself gave His followers a list of events which would be the precursors to the end - events we are seeing in our newspaper headlines! Believers like you have followed Christ's call to correctly discern the signs of the times, which is critical for the future of you and your family.
This Month's Prophetic Word:HEALING AND MIRACLES ARE NATURAL ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN WITH JESUS
I know a lot of people promise healing. There are seminars on TV, health drinks, diet shakes, snake-oil elixirs - all of which promise a miracle cure. But in this endless search for healing, there is one thing humanity has overlooked:
simplicity. Although the gift of healing is as valuable as an emperor's treasure, it is also as available as the air we breathe. What blinds people to this simple truth is a lack of understanding about healing and miracles.
Jesus asked His expectant audience of religious elitists: "Is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?" (Mark 2:9).
Is it easier to be forgiven from sins than to be healed of infirmity? Jesus said there was no difference.
Jesus died on Calvary not only to save you from your sins and give you eternal life, but also to establishyou in this earth in healing and victory!
Everything you could ever need is answered clearly - at the cross.
Go back to the beginning: the reason for the cross. God had created a perfect companion to live in a love relationship with Him, the man Adam ... but Adam went astray. Through him, sin and death came to reign in the world.
Adam had been created as a three-part person: spirit, body and soul. Proverbs 18:14 says, "The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity." You were created with the spirit as king, your soul as servant and your body as slave. It is the spirit which sustains the body.
When man ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the soul was elevated above the spirit. Everything God intended for mankind was turned upside-down. The spirit which should sustain us is down on the bottom rung of the ladder, and the body which should be the slave is thrust into the spot where the soul should be.
This became the norm for all humanity for thousands of years until:
THE CROSS OF CALVARY! Here, Jesus turned everything right-side up again, for those who will follow Him!
At the cross, Jesus delivered healing for body, soul and spirit. His message to the lame man in Mark 2 is the same message He has for you today: RISE AND BE HEALED!
Whatever you need - whether you need physical healing, financial miracles, children and loved ones saved, victory over addiction - pray for God's miracle power to touch you!
Walking in supernatural healing and miracles is easy once you grasp the important revelation of what Christ did for you AT THE CROSS!
Thank you for being my Breakthrough Platinum Covenant Partner and for letting me share this revelation with you. Your partnership is so important to me! Thank you for your faithful support and for helping us light the way - so the lost can find the kingdom of heaven.

: Fiery Sermon

A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, the pastor decided to visit him. It was a chilly evening. The pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his pastors visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace and waited. The pastor made himself at home but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames around the burning logs. After some minutes, the pastor took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone. Then he sat back in his chair, still silent. The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. As the one lone ember's flame flickered and diminished, there was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more. Soon it was cold and dead. Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting. The Pastor glanced at his watch and realized it was time to leave. He slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow, once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it. As the pastor reached the door to leave, his host said with a tear running down his cheek, "Thank you so much for your visit and especially for the fiery sermon. I shall be back in church next Sunday." We live in a world today, which tries to say too much with too little. Consequently, few listen. Sometimes the best sermons are the ones left unspoken. If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything! This is an amazing picture! The "longer" you look at this picture, the "more" you see.
Look at the lines the artist used to draw this picture of Christ.. It is of scenes from Christ's life. I have not seen anything like this and wanted you to see it, too.




Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Very Serious problem below.
Seems the BBB got a complaint the other day about a scam that AFLAC was taking advantage of women on the street and stealing their money.Now we all at one time thought that an INSURANCE Company has stolen fromus, however this scam is netting COLD HARD CASH from unsuspectingindividuals.The way it works is the thief uses children to distract the target. Whileadmiring the cuteness of the kids they are robbed of their cash and neverknow what hit them.I'm sending this out for all to be aware that this is happening and it's right out on the streets where the general public is.A passer by with a digital camera phone happen to capture the photo below.Review it carefully and use caution when distractions like this come along. Good Luck.Don't say you weren't warned.

Beautifully Stated

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end,Be afraid that it will never begin.
Send this to all of your friends (and me) in the next 5 minutesAnd a miracle will happen tonight

Parable of the Spoons


A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one
day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and
Hell are like. "
The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one
of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of
the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table
was a large pot of stew that smelled delicious and made
the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around
the table were thin and sickly.
They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons
with very long handles that were strapped to their arms
and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew
and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer
than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into
their mouths.
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery
and suffering.
The Lord said, "You have seen Hell."
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was
exactly the same as the first one. There was the large
round table with the large pot of stew that made the holy
man's mouth water. The people were equipped with
the same long-handled spoons, but here the people
were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
The holy man said, "I don't understand."
It is simple," said the Lord, "it requires but one skill.
You see, they have learned to feed each other.
While the greedy think only of themselves.
A friend is someone who reaches for your hand,
and touches your heart. People say true friends must
always hold hands, but true friends don't need to hold
hands because they know the other hand will always
be there. Thank you for your friendship in my life!
