‘Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those

who call evil good,’ but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor

and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn

and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable... We have neglected to disci-

pline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We

have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expres-

sion. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us

from sin and Set us free. Amen!’

With the Lord’s help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so

that we once again can be called ‘One nation under God!’

1 Thessalonians 5:21TesT everyThing. hold on To The good.

1 Timothy 1:5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

Press Past the Small Things

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “...One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and

straining toward what is ahead.” (Philippians 3:13, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Are you allowing the small things in life to keep you from God’s best? Today is the day to press

past the small things and run toward your destiny! Unforgiveness is a small thing. Forgive and move on to the greater thing. Fear is small. It’s not from

God. Don’t let it hold you back. An addiction is small. You have the power to overcome anything

through Christ Jesus. Being undisciplined is small. If you are a believer today, you have the

seed of Almighty God inside of you. There is no challenge that’s too difficult for you!

I think about Joshua and Caleb. When they came back from spying out the Promised Land they

said, “Moses, we are well able to take the land. Let us go in at once.” Not next week. Not next year.

They were “now” people. But if you over-analyze your situation and think about all the “what if ’s” and try to get approval from all your family and

friends, you’ll never move off of dead center. You’ll be stuck in the small things.

Today, make the decision to press forward. Be like Joshua and Caleb. Don’t look at your circumstanc-es; look at your God because He is the one who is empowering you to take hold of the good things

He has for your future!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, today I make the decision to press past

small things. I let go of small thinking and small doing and choose to open my heart and mind to You. Lead me in the way I should go. Thank You for Your everlasting love in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Luke 13:32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will drive out demons and heal people today and

tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’Song of Solomon 2:13

Foxes in Your Finances

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that spoil the

vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom.” (Song of Solomon 2:15, ESV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Oftentimes, it’s not big things that hold us back; it’s small things — especially in your finances. A few dollars a day on coffee quickly turns into hundreds. Too many

credit cards become overwhelming to keep up with. That person who hasn’t balanced their checkbook in two years

probably hears a little voice every time they go to write a check, “Get your finances in order.” We have to realize that if we’re not faithful with what we have, God won’t entrust us with more. One lady told me how she hadn’t balanced her checkbook in so long she just closed the account and opened up a brand new one. At least she

took action!

I have people tell me all the time, “Joel, I’m going to start giving. I’m going to start tithing my income as soon

as I make more money.” No, don’t wait until you have $1,000. Tithe on the $10 you have right now. Don’t let

the little foxes spoil your finances. Don’t let another day go by without obeying God. When you set your finances

in order, when you put God first in all you do, you are opening the door for His blessing. He says when we are

faithful with the little, God will make us ruler over much!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father God, today I choose to be obedient. I don’t want

to let little foxes affect my finances. I dedicate my re-sources to You. Speak to my heart and show me where to give. I choose to be a faithful sower and expect to reap an

abundant harvest by Your Word in Jesus’ name! Amen.

GANODERMA LUCIDUM, THE KING OF HERBAL MEDICINE

Among the time-honored Chinese wonder herbs that have passed the test of time is ganoderna lucidum or reishi or lingzhi. It is a large, bitter medicinal mushroom with shining exterior. It

grows in the dark and dense mountainous woods of high humidity in the tropical and temperate

regions of the world. It grows on decaying wood. It may take nearly 1 year to reach maturity. Its in-credible curative properties have won it the titles of ‘supernatural mushroom’, ‘magic mushroom’

and ‘plant of longevity or immortality ’.

More than 2000 tthousand years of regular use in China and Japan and the modern clinical trial re-search studies have shown that it is a cure-all kind

of herb, a virtual elixir of life which though can not make man deathless and ageless, can save him from many living deaths such as AIDS, cancer and other fatal diseases which make man’s life a night-mare worse than death. The most important thing is that it is safe to use it for a long time. It has no

side effects, if not overdosed.

Instead of side-effects it brings extra benefits. It can stay with man through out his hectic life in the modern world, saving him from fatigue by

restoring his energy and stamina. It is due to its restorative properties that it is being used to make

coffee also—a coffee which brings you health. Though this herb was discovered thousands of

years ago, it was not available for common man.

In the past, it was among the rarest herbs. In addition, in the woods, the mushroom could not preserve its nutrients from the surrounding envi-

ronment and from the winds for a long time.

The winds scattered its spores which were col-lected randomly along with foreign matter. There-fore, the Chinese herbalists had to trawl through

lands to get the right mature wild ganoderma with full nutrients for the Chinese emperors and royal officials. But now, after years of rigorous research work on its cultured cultivation, it’s being grown indoors where high humidity and darkness are

created for its better growth on a very large scale to meet its high pharmaceutical demand in the in-ternational medicine market. Special nets are used

to cover the ganoderma cultivation area. In this way, its spores are protected from being scattered by winds. Now, it is within the easy access of com-mon man at the health food stores and a few clicks

away on internet. It is being produced not only in its native East Asian countries such as China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia but also inthe USA. Continue page 14

Ganoderma CoffeeCoffee is a widely used dark and bitter drink made from the roasted seeds or beans of the coffee plant. It contains caffeine – an addictive chemical. Coffee with caffeine may contain both health benefits and

health risks. It makes people feel more mentally and physically alert, and increases body coordina-tion. But, apparent alertness means an increase in the heart rate, blood pressure and basal metabolic rate. Therefore, according to some clinical nutri-

tionists, excessive intakes and long term use of coffee may leave harmful effects such as irritating effect on gastric mucosa, liver function disorders,

nausea and vomiting, restlessness, anxiety, de-pression, tremors, and sleeplessness, nutritional deficiencies and the exhaustion of key organs like the liver, pancreas and adrenal glands as a result of repeated stimulation. Therefore, the best thing is to go for side-effects free alternatives to coffee. Clinical nutritionists recommend herbal bever-ages which do not have toxic substances such as

ganoderma coffee.

Gano Healthy Coffee gives you an energizing hours-long boost not from caffeine, but from a time-honoured medicinal herb ganoderma lu-

cidum, which is a rejuvenating and restorative herb . It enhances the body’s resistance to stress, trau-

ma, anxiety and fatigue. This herb is being used not only in the treatment of fatal diseases but also as a

cure for everyday stress. In order to benefit from its healing properties in everyday life, ganoderma ex-tract is presented in the form of gano coffee which

is a natural coffee, free from side-effects. Gano coffee fortifies human immune system, promotes

longevity, improves weight balance, regulates blood circulation and protects us from cancer. In addi-tion, there is no problem of developing addiction. On account these and other healing powers, gano coffee is being recommended as one of the healthi-

est coffees of the world. It is available @

Family / Extended Family, greetings!How many times have you found yourself in a need and desperately looking for help, knowing all along every-thing you have tried time after time did not help. And you turned to look for help unto God but not fully com-mitted and you paid hard consequences as a result. That is what happened in the biblical account I’m sharing in

this article.

GOOD NEWS!

“Then all the army officers, including Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest approached Jeremiah the prophet and said to him, “Please hear our petition and pray to the Lord your God for this entire remnant. For as you now see, though we were once many, now only a few are left. Pray that the Lord your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do.” The preceding words are found in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible in the book of Jeremiah 42:1-3 These were words expressed by some of the people that had just experienced Jerusalem besieged by the armies of Nebuchadnezzar king of Baby-lon. The Babylonians set fire to the royal palace and the houses of the people and broke down the walls of Jeru-salem, despite how horrific we can still find good news.

Jeremiah was one of the greater prophets of the Old Tes-tament. He was a son Hilkiah, a high priest at Anathoth. Jeremiah prophesied during the rule of five kings of Ju-dah, Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoichin, and Zedeki-ah. His prophesies are recorded in the Book of Jeremiah. The Biblical name Jeremiah is Hebrew in origin and its meaning is raised up, or appointed by God. If ever their was a time that God’s chosen people needed help to say the least was now. After having the royal palace, and the houses of the people set on fire and breaking down the walls of Jerusalem and carrying a lot of them into exile to Babylon, they found themselves terrified and helpless. So in this desperate time they seek help, they turn to the man of God Jeremiah the prophet. Many of us have been there

not literally but in need, I have good news.

Two weeks ago in my good news article I shared from the Old Testament from the book of Isaiah it reads in Isaiah 41:10 “Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” I emphasized on the word ‘uphold’, definition of this word from Webster’s dictionary is, - to keep erect; to sustain; to keep from falling; to maintain. You think this is what these people needed to hear? They came to Jeremiah, and said “ Please hear our petition and pray to the Lord your God for this entire remnant. For as you now see, though we were once many, now only a few are left. Pray that the Lord your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do.” They looked for help but with the wrong motive, stay with me I have

good news.

Perhaps today and at some time in our lives we have all been guilty of seeking out for some help at a time when we have hit rock bottom. I say guilty because just like these people that experienced this great loss, they sought help with the man of God, but with a wrong motive. They told Jeremiah, ..” Please hear our petition and pray to the Lord your God .. “ You see they were not committed and fully connected to God and so they did not obey the word God gave to Jeremiah, despite being warned they would suffer fatal consequences for their disobedience. You and I have family and friends or people we know, or maybe yourself right now you have a need, you know the only source that can really help but you do not fully commit. Why? When all else fails and it will, Jesus Christ will not

fail seek him and find good news.

Don’t Miss the Season of Grace

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “For the turning away of the simple will slay them, and the complacency of fools will de-

stroy them.” (Proverbs 1:32, NKJV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

God will never ask you to do something with-out giving you the ability to do it. You may get passive or complacent and think, “Yes, I know

I need to do that. Maybe next week.” Well, next week turns into next month. Next month

turns into next year. When we put off what God has told us to do, we miss that season of grace. But, if you’ll deal with things as soon as God brings them to light, you’ll have a special

grace, a special empowerment. You’ll feel God’s enabling power helping you to do it.

Today, is there something you’re putting off? Something you know in heart that you are

supposed to do? Don’t let the season of grace pass. Don’t let complacency destroy you. Your destiny stands before you. God has something

amazing in your future. Be bold, be strong. Step out in faith, be obedient, and embrace the

good things God has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, thank You for the grace to do exactly what You’ve called me to do. I choose to step

out in faith; I choose to follow Your com-mands. I choose to be faithful because I know that You are faithful. I love You and bless You

today and always in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah 12:2 Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD,

the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.”

Be Victory-MindedToday’s Scripture

“The Lord is my strength and my song; He has given me victory” (Psalm 118:14, NLT).

Today’s Word from Joel and VictoriaDo you need more joy, victory, and confidence in your life today? You might need to evalu-ate what you are thinking about on a daily basis. If you go around thinking things like, “I’m just average,” “I’ve already reached my limits,” or, “I’ve missed so many good oppor-tunities,” those thoughts are going to drag you down. Instead, every morning when you wake up, start your day with thoughts of hope and success. Determine to be victory-minded. The Bible tells us that what we think about we will become. When you think thoughts of success, victory, joy and peace, your life will be filled

with success, victory, joy, and peace.

No matter what’s going on in the world around you, remember, as a believer in Jesus, greater is He who is in you than he that is in the world. The Greater One lives inside of you! If God is for you, who can be against you? You are an overcomer through Christ. So set your mind on victory and move forward into the abun-

dant life He has for you!

A Prayer for TodayFather in heaven, thank You for the gift of an-other day! I choose to be victory-minded and think on good things today. Remind me, Holy Spirit, to stay focused on the blessings and favor that You have in store for me. In Jesus’

Name. Amen.

Psalm 8:2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise be-cause of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

Psalm 27:1 Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation--whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?

High Time

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “...It is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salva-

tion is nearer than when we first believed.” (Romans 13:11, NKJV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

So many people today are living overwhelmed, exhausted and overburdened by the pressures of life. They’ve al-

lowed themselves to live on autopilot, day in and day out, passive toward the things God has place in their hearts.

If that’s you, now is the time to get your fire back! Let me encourage you to press past the things that would try to

hold you back. God is saying, “It’s high time to wake up.” Notice that phrasing. Not just time but high time. That

means it’s incredibly important because you are coming into a destiny moment! You are sitting on the launching

pad. God is about to thrust you to a new level! Now is not the time to be passive, sloppy or undisciplined. Now more than ever, it’s time to get focused and start moving

forward!

Why is this so important? Just like the verse says, your salvation is nearer than it’s ever been. That means you are closer to seeing that dream come to pass than you’ve ever been. You are closer to meeting the right person, closer to that healing, closer to that breakthrough, promotion

and provision. You may not be able to see it, but it can see you! Your victory is right around the corner. It’s high time

to do what God is asking you to do so you can embrace the blessing He has for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for Your hand of blessing and mercy upon my life. Today I choose to rise up. I choose to shake off mediocrity so I can move forward into the bless-

ing You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
