These are the Moments in Everyone's Life

ISBN: 978-0-9794043-2-0

There comes a  moment in time in the life of everyone, that something will occur that is too much of a burden to carry. These are the moments when we seek a power that is beyond what any human can provide. Regardless of who we are, or what status we hold, no one is exempt.

In times of a serious sickness, tragedy or loss, we each has a desire and need to be comforted in our whole being, in a way which medicine cannot accomplish. And neither can it be provided by any physical means.

The spiritual being, understands that it has a creator. Therefore, in times of distress, it automatic seeks the comfort of its creator. In the book of Job, it is stated by the writer himself, who was terminally ill, "The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life." In his moment of desperation, his deepest desire was to hear from God. And he sought him for comfort.

The Words of Job:
Even today is my complaint bitter, my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.

Will he plead against me with his great Power?
No, but he would put strength in me.

Source: Job 23:2-6 (King James Version)

Song: I Want to Feel Your Power Today

Description

I Want to Feel Your Power Today is a cry to God, when one is in desperate need to hear from him. I have been in desperate need to hear from God, many times. I was sitting at my keyboard, one day, and needing very much to hear from him. What you hear, is unedited.

An S.O.S Call to God (song)

Ellen J. Barrier

From the Album: Another Chance
(An S.O.S Call to God)

Sometimes life seems so unfair.
There are times we ask, Why?
Lord, I do know that your love is forever.
So, when you seem so all alone_
Just remember, that God answers prayer.

The answer lies in your heart, and it lies within your soul.
So, whenever you feel the need to ask, Why?
Just remember, that God answers prayer.

Our God, answers prayer, and he knows your every need.
He understands your feelings, and he knows all your needs.
So, whenever you feel_
feel like giving up sometimes,
and you feel like your back is against the wall, there's just no way out.

Just remember, our God answers prayer, and he knows your every need.
He understands your feelings, and he knows all your needs.

The answer lies in your heart, and it lies within your soul.
So, whenever you feel the need to ask, Why?
Just remember, God answers prayer.

This is an S.O.S to God (prayer)

Dear God,
This is an S.O.S call to you. This is another day I've awaken to find a heavier burden to bear.
I realize this burden is too heavy for me to bear, so I come to you in so much pain and shame.

Lord please answer this prayer.

My enemies oppress me daily, they criticize me Lord, and scandalize my name. Now, they seek to destroy me.

Lord, I have nowhere to run, and no place to hide.
I know that jealousy, hate, and wrong doings have made me a prisoner and a slave to sin.
They brought me here to this lonely and fearful place, and there is no way out for me.

I heard about a man, named Jesus, who died for me. And that the blood from his wounds, and the pain in his body, and the shame, and suffering he endured on the cross for me, was a sacrificial offering for all.

Jesus, Jesus, God, please show me your mercy Lord, show me your mercy Lord, show me your grace Lord.

Father, please let the blood that Jesus shed clean my soul, and let it free me from this prison.
Father, please remove this burden, and defend me against my enemies, that seek after my soul.
They seek to destroy me Lord. Please answer this S.O.S call.

Jesus, I thank you for the blood, that you shed for me. I can feel your love all around me.
In my heart, I know that you are here.
And I know that your angels are watching over me.

I thank you Jesus, for sacrificing your life for all.
And God, I thank you, for answering my S.O.S call.
Amen.

Persevere Despite the Challenge You Face:

Ellen J. Barrier
Author/writer/musician

Nothing comes easy. We have to learn to know how to achieve the things we desire.

To get the best out of education, we must be willing to give all we have regardless, of the sacrifices we will have to make. That might mean spending less money; eating more vegetables than meat or watching television more often than going to movies. Or it might mean that we have to plant gardens and grow our vegetables and fruit.




Whatever sacrifices it takes to reach our goals, we have to be willing to persevere.

When others poke fun and some try to discourage us, we must persevere in the face of every challenge.

If there is someone or something blocking our path to success, we must find a way to go around. We can’t allow ourselves to be defeated by standing still or running away from challenges. We must be determined to persevere, despite the challenges we face. Security comes within the vein of perseverance.  With hope in God, victories are accomplished.

Scripture:

But the LORD is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. 

2 Thessalonians 3:3 (King James Version Bible)

Humans Errors:

No one is above the probability to commit a wrongful act, which is why we need to pray and engage in conversations with others, offering encouragement and to believe in possibilities. We can do a lot more than we think, if we try listening to others and observing the behavior of an individual that is questionable.

If we look closely at the things noted in paragraph 3 below, in the quote, we see some symptoms of behavior that needs to be checked. This is not good behavior.

When we hear of ‘good people’ committing wrongful acts that those who knew them, would never have believed they were capable of doing – we then know that there is a probability that such things can happen to anyone.

“For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.” _Titus 3:3 (K.J.V)

It is for this purpose we shouldn’t judge others, but be ready to help friends and relatives, by encouraging them to talk about things that might be troubling them, before they become impossible to reach. 

Questions:

If you knew of someone who were expressing some of the symptoms above, would you try to help them? If so, how would you approach them? How do you feel you might be able to help such an individual?

Grace

Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 11 Cor. 1:2

We define grace in the spiritual sense as God's mercy toward us that allows us to have things we aren't entitled to. There are times when we all, on occasion take life and its blessings for granted. It is very easy to get so involved in our daily endeavors and never pray or give God thanks for the things we have. We seem to never realize what life would be like, if we no longer had the things we cherish.

Regardless, of how educated one may be, or how wealthy, beautiful or popular, poor or plain, we all need God's grace. Below are some inspirational words of courage with hope and peace to add sun shine to your day:

11/19/2012
Today's date:


Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.  (11 Corinthians 1:3)

The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. (Psalm 34:7)
