DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN GOD even if you lose all your income will you still say you believe in GOD...

Since the week of August 15, 2011, as I have been praying I have had a GREAT URGENCY deep within my soul and heart that something MAJOR is just about ready to take place and happen just around the corner.

I feel that major things are going to occur, especially with things that 'man' cannot control.

In my prayer soul it feels like a pregnant woman whom is trying to PUSH OUT her baby and the pain that comes from the CONTRACTIONS of labor pain. The actual baby is not ready to be born yet, but it is only the pain that comes through the CONTRACTIONS and great is that pain....

There is a BIG STORM around the corner.... Are you prepared for the STORM?  Do you say you BELIEVE IN GOD when everything is great in your life?  But what happens if the bottom falls out from below you and you lose everything, your house, your job, your income, and you get HIT BY A MAJOR STORM of life...

Do you still BELIEVE IN GOD or will your heart fail you....

Are you able to still lift your hands up and PRAISE GOD for ALL THINGS... no matter what happens - will you still BELIEVE IN GOD?






Is GOD your TRUE PROVIDER within your life? Do you look at your employment and the income you receive from that employment outside of GOD being your PROVIDER?

Is it not GOD whom has blessed you with your employment/job?

Is it not GOD whom has provided for you through this income from this employment / job? 

Praise Him daily for these provisions that have come directly from Him for your life....


We as people should NEVER look or trust our WORLD MONEY SYSTEM for the WORLD is not our provider.... Yes, we are suppose to be wise stewards of this provision that has been given to us - at the same time - the WORLD MONEY SYSTEM is not our provider.... but GOD HIMSELF needs to always be our PROVIDER for His Name is Jehovah Jireh (my Provider).... regardless if I have little or if I have much - GOD is my PROVIDER, according to His Riches in Glory.
Matthew 6: 23But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Also Luke 16:18
Do you BELIEVE IN MONEY or do you truly BELIEVE IN GOD HIMSELF for all your provisions and all your needs?






Jesus, himself, did not have the RICHES of this world through money ... even when he had to pay his taxes Jesus did not actually have the money to pay these taxes but he looked to God the Father as His provider and when a fish that he caught had a coin in its mouth so Jesus could pay his taxes....


Jesus was RICH (not according to the world was he rich from money, but He was RICH because of Glory.)
Matthew 17: 24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?” 25 “Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?” 26 “From others,” Peter answered. “Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”


As a CHRISTIAN BELIEVER - our RICHES are not of this world through money - but our RICHES are in HIS GLORY...
Do you pay GOD your tithe TODAY in the current, that is due Him as written in His Word? Do you pay God 10% of your gross income of your first fruits income before taxes or anything is taken out to your local storehouse where you receive God's Word and Food from within the 'church'?


If you are not paying your tithe to God - then how can you expect anything back to you from God?


If you use the excuse 'I can't afford paying tithe?' then you do not truly believe or trust in GOD if you cannot TRUST GOD in His Word....
When you say 'I believe in God' - actions speak louder than words and my question to you (if you do not pay tithe) is "DO YOU".....
God's Word says:

Malachi 3: 8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.


Notice in God's Word written about it says v 10: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse (where you get fed in a church) (Not on TV); that there may be meat in mine house, and PROVE ME now within, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it....


v11 - And I (God) will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts...


If you are NOT paying tithes which is 10% of your gross (before taxes), PAID TO THE LOCAL STOREHOUSE, then how can you expect GOD to bless you from the devour stealing from your crops... and how do you expect GOD to provide for you when our WORLD ECONOMY comes crashing down and is NO MORE...


Where will your TRUST be then?  WIll you still believe in GOD?


In Mark's and my 34 years together we have always paid our tithe regardless if we could actually afford it or not for we believe in GOD and we BELIEVE GOD'S WORD.
There was a time that when Mark and I first married, Mark made a total of $79.00 net per month (for 40 hours of work) at the Rescue Mission Ministry. Our apartment rent was $125.00 per month. We lived mainly on the income the Lord provided through me working. We could have easily said to God 'well God we know your word says to pay 10% of our first fruits but Mark only makes $79.00 net a month so surely GOD you would understand why we cannot pay you $10.00 out of Mark's income. But then where is our "BELIEVING and TRUST IN GOD"... and TRUSTING OF GOD'S WORD that He is our Provider...


We had a plaque that said "As I obey God in paying my tithe to Him, I may not have a lot, but the benefits are out of this world'....
Mark's and my GOD CALLING in His Ministry (as His feet and hands) has always been in Rescue Mission Ministry to the poor / homeless / street people in society. We have given out of our own need to give to the poor.
 Proverbs: 19: 16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. 17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. 
When Mark and I first married, during the time that Mark made $79.00 a month (for 40 hours a week work at the Rescue Mission)... we had to walk everywhere as we did not own a car.  Imagine what it is like having to walk in pouring down rain about 6 blocks in taking 3 baskets of laundry to the laundrymat... (This is what we had to do at that time, since we had no transportation.)

About 4 weeks after we married, we received a $400 check from the taxes and we found a beat up ugly old Toyota car for $350 which gave us enough money to purchase 6 months of insurance and transfer the title of the car.  The car even had rusted out on the passenger side floor board so we put down a old board and some old carpet to cover it up.  The most important thing to us was that the car ran good....

But two days after we got our car... Mark came home from the Rescue Mission as he had meant a man that had just got out of Pontiac Prison.  He was married to a woman that had severe polio and because there was snow on the ground and she had to go to many doctor appointments she would always end up falling...  Mark came home and we decided together to give our car to the as a gift to bless their lives.  We convinced the license bureau to transfer the car into their names without them knowing that it came from us.  We then transfered out 6 months insurance, the title, and gave this couple our car to bless them.  We wrote a letter from JESUS and that He loved them...  They NEVER knew that the car came from us. 

One day as I was once again walking to the laundrymat carrying our dirty clothes I sat this couple drive by in the vehicle that Mark and I chose to give to them.  I was more than happy to see this couple blessed in life, as I knew GOD was FAITHFUL and would provide for Mark and I in His time.

Many times as I have walked down a street and it is winter and I see a homeless women that does not have gloves, hat, or a winter coat.... I have literally taken off my own hat, gloves, and/or winter coat and given to the person in need knowing that the Lord will provide me once again....

One time I met a man named 'Michael', the street people called him 'Preacher Mike'... He lived on the streets of Albuquerque.  Mike was a huge big man and only had the shattered clothes that he was wearing.  It was winter.  That same day when I met Mike I asked him to remain at the Mission that day as I had a surprise for him. I immediately went out to the LARGE MEN'S STORE, purchased him two jogging sweat pants and sweat shirts in size 10XXX, purchased him a new winter coat, gloves, and a hat, and new underwear, socks, and a pair of new tennis shoes... I wrapped them all up in a special fancy bag and went back to the alley alongside of Albuquerque Rescue Mission, found Mike, and gave him the gift from GOD.  Mike started crying and said he had not ever had such a gift given to him.  He was so excited about the new clothes to wear.

(This of couse was only only a few small times of many times of God using Mark and I to bless others...   as we did this often when we saw the need in front of my eyes.)

As a CHRISTIAN BELIEVER, when you see a need of another in front of your eyes, do you try to find a way to meet that need or do you close your eyes and pretend not to see...?

As a CHRISTIAN BELIEVER even if you see a STRANGER in great need of need of care as with the GOOD SAMARTIAN do you choose to walk across the street and pretent you don't see the needs (as the religious people) or do you actually see and do what you can to TEND to the care and needs of even a stranger...?

Mark and I have been in great need within our own life, but yet we have always been faithful in the little that God has blessed us with as according to His Word in paying our tithe to Him and God has always come through for us.
God's word says:
Psalm 37: 24 though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. 25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. 26 They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing.[a]
Mark and I have seen GOD continually in our own lives come through for us for HIS PROVISIONS. We have NEVER begged for bread as we have always gone to GOD for our provision:

Just to give a couple of examples (of many) within our own lives of God providing for us in a time of need:

******************************

Mark and I had a ministry on campus at Christ for the Nations Bible College. We prayed about this and the Lord told us to do this as an outreach to the students on campus, especially international students.
We started a small grocery store directly from our apartment. We got approval from Fred Lindsay (President of CFNI)... a friend whom I worked with one day came to me (whom knew nothing about this little store) and said to me 'Jane, I have a brand new side-by-side refrigerator that we cannot use since we moved - would you take it as a gift)...
Once again - GOD the provider - provided.
We took this refrigerator, placed it inside our apartment and used this for the food supply to give out to the students on campus from campus housing.

We named this outreach 'Loaves and Fishes' for God was going to multiply this blessing to others...

Every Saturday morning at 4:00 a.m. - Mark and I would take our little car and go down to the Farmers Market in downtown Dallas Texas. It was all within a huge square of selling these fresh items and it was HUGE. The farmers got to know us and often would actually give us extras of their crops to bless this ministry on campus. From our own money, Mark and I would purchase eggs, produce, and vegetables, and day old bread - but it go to the point that so many people were getting to know us and wanting to bless us - that we hardly ever had to purchase anything. We also got a dairy farmer that would allow us to bring sterilized milk jugs to him and he would fill these milk jugs up and drop them off at our campus apartment site for 25c a gallon. So this is what we sold the milk products for on campus 25c a gallon. (We never made any kind of profit as this was not our goal - but it was to simply bless the students on campus).
For accountability, Mark and I chose not to ever eat and drink any products from the Loaves and Fishes Warehouse from our apartment and we kept this completely separate for the students on campus only.
It was not for us - but for them.
One day, Mark and I, had no money at all and no groceries remaining for ourselves. So instead of taking out of what God had supplied for the Loaves and Fishes - we prayed...
That evening at about 10:00 pm we prayed out to Jehovah Jireh to provide us food and some money as we had none... We looked to God and not to man for our provision.

About 10:30 pm as I was going to go to bed - I went to lock the door and right after I locked the door we got a large knock on the door. I went outside to see who it was (as we constantly had students coming in and out of our apartment) for food, and fellowship (mainly international students). When I opened the door - NO ONE was outside the door (and I opened it almost immediately after receiving the knock on the door). But sitting in front of the door was two one gallons of milk, two full bags of groceries, and a $50.00 new dollar bill and it said 'For Mark and Jane only'....
GOD PROVIDED once again.


**************************

Another provision by GOD:
As students attending Christ for the Nations Bible College we were told that we were not to PLEDGE on anything but our first PLEDGE was to get our school bills paid first....

But one day CFNI had some pledges during the Sunday Service and it was various church needs for brothers and sisters in 3rd world nations and during the church service they asked for people to bid in providing these needs...

One of the needs that was being bided on to pay off was for a small church building that was being built in the middle of a jungle in the Philippines. They needed someone to sponsor this small little church building in a remote area within the jungles to get it completed as they had run out of money to finish building the small little church building for the people...

Mark and I both felt led of God to go ahead and pledge to pay off the needs to complete the building of this little church inside the jungle area of the Philippines... We obeyed GOD with this pledge...

Mark and I did not have the money to pay off this building but God told us to bid on it and pledge to it and that HE would provide... We obeyed out of faith.

The very next morning as Mark and I were going to classes (Monday) there was a note on our time card for class to come to the Business office immediately. I got scared and thought 'what is this all about?'... When we got to the business office we were told that someone anonymously had paid off our entire school bill....
Since our school bill was not paid in full, because we had been saving to pay off this bill - we had the exact amount saved to pay of our PLEDGE in paying off this little church building....

God had once again PROVIDED not only for Mark and I through school, but HE provided for brothers and sisters in the Lord, whom were strangers to us, but now they had the money to finish and complete their church building in the middle of a jungle in the Philippines...
Two months later we received a picture from our family at this church that now was completed and the members of the church were standing outside waving to thank Mark and I for the PROVISION that GOD made...



This was such a gift... to see how JEHOVAH JIREH not only providing for Mark and me with our school expenses but for our extended family across the sea...

In December 2011 - CFNI (Christ for the Nations) contacted us about this same little church that we had contributed towards 30 years ago.  The original Pastor had left this earth and now has joined up with JESUS but the new Pastor of this little church said that this church building has grown out of the building so they currently are now building a larger church building and needed a new roof for this new church building.  Because our own finances are depleted at this time, we were not able to financially contribute but our God-given son, Emad, whom the Lord brought to us from Egypt - he decided to contribute to this small church to help...

GOD IS SO GOOD - GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL

*****************************************

There is a time coming where we will all have to help each other, even as strangers in order to survive on this earth... Where we no longer will be able to have 'church' in a building but where we become the actual 'church'....

Will you truly say 'I BELIEVE IN GOD' when you no longer have anything remaining on this earth, including a church building, or a house, or money.....
There will no longer be any source of income or money provisions as according to what we have grown use to in America as it will be all gone.... There will be no social security, there will be no disability income, there will be no retirement income, there will be no more MONEY through our WORLD MONEY SYSTEM as we know it... but it will be a time that we no longer will be able to say 'I BELIEVE IN GOD' - but it will come down to 'DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE AND TRUST IN GOD FOR YOUR PROVISION'....
If you as a CHRISTIAN BELIEVER are not being responsible in paying only 10% of your gross (First fruits) to GOD NOW.... how can you expect anything from GOD in provision in the future...
Matthew 6: 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 4Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof
Do you truly believe in GOD? or is this just words to make you feel good inside or make others see how good you are by believing in God? or do you TRULY BELIEVE AND TRUST IN GOD?

Mark and I have truly BELIEVE, TRUSTED, and OBEYED GOD in what GOD has written... We have been more interested in BUILDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD, than building a KINGDOM up for ourselves on this earth.... DO YOU?

What is more important for you? Having great wealth and riches of this world or having great wealth and riches in GOD?

Our wealth and riches in this world will soon be gone - then where will your wealth be?
AMERICA AMERICA, SAT ON A WALL
AMERICA, AMERICA, so proud of it all
AMERICA, AMERICA, worldly riches abound
AMERICA, AMERICA, HAD A GREAT FALL
and all the nations Kings and all the nations wealth



Could not put AMERICA back together again

Where is your heart today? Is your heart to obey God's Word and TRUST HIM TODAY or is your heart trusting the wealth of this world?
Although Mark and I do not have much, even today currently we have a great need financially, but we TRUST GOD - whom will always be FAITHFUL.... Today our refrigerator is not working and our dishwasher has died, and we truly do not have the money to get these things... but our TRUST is in God that He will provide for us....

Romans 8:28 God works all things out together for good for those whom have been called according to His purpose....

Are you called today for knowing His RICHES in Glory or are you following the lust of your heart for wealth, fame, money of this world... You cannot serve two masters...

For Mark and me, we have chosen to FOLLOW the only MASTER of our soul and heart and His name is JESUS IS LORD.... we may not have the riches of this world but we have experienced never BEGGING FOR BREAD OR SEEING THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN as we have trusted Him...

Let your HEART be prepared of what is coming.... rather than your heart stopping for the 'fear' that will be around....

LEARN TO TRUST GOD TODAY..... give to Him and He will return it back to you. Cast your bread upon the water and see it returned back to you.
Be obedient to GOD in the little things on this earth TODAY...

Save up for yourselves a HEAVEN SAVINGS ACCOUNT....




Walk by faith and not by sight....

Start TODAY in truly BELIEVING IN GOD... for I feel a real URGENCY deep in my heart and soul that something MAJOR is just around the corner... TRUST GOD TODAY...

Am I RICH by the world's standards - NO
Am I RICH by God's standards - YES - very RICH

I BELIEVE IN GOD  (words are cheap) but I BELIEVE IN GOD through action... for GOD has ALWAYS come through for Mark and I when we had need and we have NEVER Begged for bread.... 

GOD IS OUR PROVIDER not the world...

I BELIEVE IN GOD all the way...

CHOSEN TREASURE OF GOD.... Cold dark black COAL changing and turning into a TREASURE as a DIAMOND before God....

Here is the my most treasured song... But as you listen to the words of this song - read what I wrote as this is how I write...

Song: You're Beautiful in His eyes - by Mercy Me

This song has meant so much to my heart. My husband, Mark, and I have been married for 34 years February 18, 1977. I come from a background where I had no worth or value. Likewise, Mark and I have ministered in Rescue Mission Ministry for over 29 years and we reach out to the homeless/poor/street people within society. This ministry began in 1872 at New ork City Rescue Mission. The founders were Maria and Jerry McAuley. Jerry had been an ex-convict and had been a part of the original gangs of NYC. Maria had been a prostitute and ran a brothel house. They repented and made Jesus their Lord. The prostitutes would attend church but were shunned. So Jerry and Maria brought 'church' to them inside the brothel houses. Every Sunday morning they would set up church services. The woman would come to know the Lord but had no where to go for shelter. So Jerry and Maria purchased a building and set up 24/7 shelter, food, clothing, and the GOOD NEWS OF JESUS for these broken women. All of us are BEAUTIFUL in HIM... 

I went through so much - more than any person really wants to know...

As I shared I came into the LOVING ARMS of JESUS on October 9, 1977. The Lord brought me through the doors of Home Sweet Home Mission on October 31, 1977, and Mark (a counselor at the Mission) placed me under his care and covering...

After experiencing abuse as a child and only wanting to be LOVED... I got trapped into a season of great SIN as I so much wanted to experience only one small moment of LOVE and to be HELD for just a MOMENT - this is all I wanted ...

At that time I weighed 100 to 105 pounds. I looked like what the cat would drag in... I was completely broken inside but I now had the NEW HOPE OF LIFE in Jesus Christ as I gave my LIFE into HIS HANDS and HIS TRUST.

Mark had saved himself for marriage as he was so close to the Lord. But one day the Lord spoke to Mark's heart to marry me and cover me... (As with Boaz and Ruth)... Mark would not even hold my hands until we married on February 18, 1978. (I was a REBORN virgin in Christ).


Mark gave me a new name that he always felt was spoken by God toward me... It is CHOSEN TREASURE...

Chosen Treasure of Royalty



My life story is like that from the PLAY called - "The Man of LaMancha"... only so much better than this play for JESUS chose me to be HIS PRINCESS and HE chose you and me to become HIS BRIDE

Where I gain encouragement from God's TRUTH and word is that Rehab (whom had been a prostitute written about in God's Word) she actually became the Great Grandmother of King David - and was a part of the blood line of Jesus... (Matthew Chapter 1)...

God always took the kick outs of society, the undesirables, and the broken, and brought us to HIM and HIS LOVE...

Matthew 22 The Parable of the Wedding Banquet
1 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. 4 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’ 5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless. 13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

God takes the bad and ugly of this world and makes them beautiful before Him and His glory.

A story I wrote (that I am continually changing and adjusting and rewriting) is the story of the diamond...  read below

________________________________________________

Buried deep beneath the ugliness, darkness of the earth lays a rock, a small unidentified rock, no substance, nothing of beauty, but a plain ordinary simple ugly rock... but laying all around this small rock is the darkness, ugliness, filthiness of dark, cold, COAL... beneath the earth... As a small unidentified rock next to the coldness and darkness of this COAL - it feels like death covering.

LIFE is a hard process... and LIFE living amongst coal is a LIFE of death, darkness, coldness, filthyness...

COAL - dark, cold, black, filthy, messy and without form.
                 COAL in hands
This COAL buried deep underneath the ugliness, darkness of the earth next to this unidentified rock, with no substance and certainly nothing of beauty, but a plain ordinary simple rock...


The COAL covers this rock of no beauty... the COAL shifts back and forth with this rock in between - causing PRESSURE, RUBBING, and GREAT PAIN... sometimes the pain and pressure is unbearable in surviving beneath this darkness and coldness of a grave... but after years as this unformed unidentified ordinary rock lays hidden deep beneath the ugliness, darkness, and coldness of a grave of this coal - one day...

A man, a simple precious man, a man named Mark Fairchild, sees something laying amongst this coal and it is sparkling with many colors of the rainbow as the fullness of the SON shines down on this 'rock'.. Mark experiences a moment of blindness from the great SHINE that reflects buried beneath this coal. So Mark bends down to see where this brightness amongst the darkness is coming from buried beneath the coal...

Mark digs in further with his hands... for something is shining brightly from this black, coldness, and darkness. What is shining so brightly amongst this darkness and coldness of a grave within this coal, to actually blind this man?

Finally as Mark is digging deeper within the belly of the coldness of the coal, his hands now covered with blackness, he touches a rock and his fingers clench down around that rock... Mark pulls this rock up to the surface of the earth as the SON shines down upon this one CHOSEN ROCK within the clenches of Mark's fingers... as Mark opens his fingers - before him is the most beautiful rock that he has ever seen before...

Mark - the 'knight in shining armor' Jane - coal that became a CHOSEN TREASURE, a diamond from coal, and now a PRINCESS of GOD for eternity - earth and heaven (FOREVER a PRINCESS in JESUS)
Coal is dark, cold, filthy, and feels like inside a grave around coal buried beneath the earth

For this rock is a beautiful glowing DIAMOND...




This is what comes out from the pressures of the coal buried beneath the heaviness and darkness of the earth....
DIAMONDS

Not created by man's hands but created by the PRESSURE, DARKNESS, COLDNESS, PRESSURES, AND BEARING DOWN from life...

Mark looks down and sees this beautiful glowing DIAMOND in the palm of his hands...

Mark found a "CHOSEN TREASURE" from the depth of dirt, heaviness, pressure, filth, darkness, and coldness - and in the middle of all this was a "CHOSEN TREASURE"....


A DIAMOND in the hands of God...

A DIAMOND shining HIS GLORY all around...

A DIAMOND - A "CHOSEN TREASURE"

A "CHOSEN TREASURE" in the hands of God...

DIAMONDS - for a PRINCESS OF GOD... A ROYAL GENERATION, CHOSEN TREASURES OF GOD

Mark admires this work of the Masters Hands before him and says 'I will make her my bride'... and Mark becomes my true god-given 'knight in shining armour'...

As Mark's love saw the true JANE - the JANE that God sees... A DIAMOND sharing the GLORY of GOD from my heart...

From the simple rock hidden amongst coal comes a DIAMOND and the DIAMOND is transformed into ROYALTY of a PRINCESS.

Now GOD, Himself has given me that name "CHOSEN TREASURE" and I am His Diamond - reflecting his forgiveness, his love, and his mercy.... and He gave me my 'knight in shining armour' - Mark... I have the RICHES of GOD...

He took the ashes of my life and He made me BEAUTIFUL...

All because He loved me so much that He went to the cross and He died for me (and for you) and it is through His blood shed upon that cross that gives ME LIFE.... JESUS rescued my soul from DEATH of the grave and He made this ordinary simple rock buried in death amongst the coal - He made me a DIAMOND...

A "CHOSEN TREASURE" of God...

A "DIAMOND" of His worth and His glory...

Today, I, Jane Fairchild, and not only called a "CHOSEN TREASURE' but I also was given the last name of Fairchild.... for now I am a 'fair child that is running hard into the loving arms of my Heavenly Father'....

Please listen to the words of the song that I sent as they say it all within my own life in Him.

How does COAL become a DIAMOND
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/how-does-coal-become-a-diamond.html

Princess Diana - was the CHOSEN PRINCESS of this world... She was beautiful... But if she did not make JESUS HER LORD - she too, after dying from this earth, is within an eternity within HELL...

So on earth she was a TEMPORARAY PRINCESS of this world.

Princess Diana was an earthly princess but without JESUS - it would only be on this earth and not in heaven...

Simple beauty of an earthly princess...
A diamond on earth.



But for Jane, because I accepted and made JESUS AS MY LORD within my heart - as a CHOSEN TREASURE in God's hand - I am a PRINCESS in God's Kingdom FOREVER without end - both earth and heaven...

and I am married to my God-given 'KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR'

In my early life before being born and until JESUS found me and I married my husband, Mark.

My mother had wanted to have an abortion while she carried me within her womb.  All my life I heard words from my mother that said 'I never wanted you from the beginning.  I hate you.  I wish you were not here and did not exist....

I grew up not having any meaning and although I had parents I truly was no one's child from the way I grew up....

I did not have a mother of whom when I was hurting I could climb up in her lap and she hold me until everything became better for my hurts... She was not there for me.

I have struggled throughout my entire life with this horrible spirit of REJECTION and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and Clinical (Suicide) Depressions but GOD has and is healing me completely in Him.

With the PTSD it felt as though I was inside a high powered washing machine in high spin and the OFF BUTTON had been broken... 

I use to 'hold everything together' and seem very put together and was involved with many things.  But then in August 2004 the Lord spoke to my husband, Mark, whom is the 'Priest' of our family and the Lord told him that we were to move back to my 'root' area of life and that He, God wanted to do a deep healing within me.  I never wanted to MOVE BACK to this 'root' area as for me it was 'out of site and out of mind'... Now I was face to face.... and I hated the memories.

I fell from within and great was that FALL.  I collapsed and no longer wanted to even LIVE LIFE when we moved back to what I referred to as my own personal 'Sodom and Gomorrah' and who would want to move back to that....

I became a MESS as a Christian.... I BROKE into tiny pieces....

The only way that people viewed me was BROKEN upon moving back... It was a time of digging deep and working out my own salvation before JESUS...  It was a GOD ORDAINED time for Jane to go through a DARK NIGHT OF MY OWN SOUL before God.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Night_of_the_Soul

This has been a time of being completely misunderstood and judged by others and even REJECTION for going through this time.... Like a time of JOB and the friends stood around rebuking, correcting, and judging JOB as JOB was going through his DARK NIGHT OF HIS OWN SOUL..
But today, I am having VICTORY and finally getting on the other side in VICTORY....

Yes, this the most difficult time of my life... but I would not change this time because it has grown me DEEPER into Him even through my struggles....

I, Jane, am not afraid to share my weakness or my brokkenness as it is all about LIFE...

I use to 'hold it all together' and look so good on the outside but inside I was dying... afraid to share the real JANE... but no longer I have come out from this fear and am the REAL ME... The Good, the bad, and even the UGLY OF ME..... I no longer want to play Pharisee games....

Who is JANE: well this song has ministered to me greatly...



This song has meant so much to my heart. My husband, Mark, and I have been married for 33 years. I come from a background where I had no worth or value. Likewise, Mark and I have ministered in Rescue Mission Ministry for over 29 years and we reach out to the homeless/poor/street people within society. This ministry began in 1872 at New York City Rescue Mission. The founders were Maria and Jerry McAuley. Jerry had been an ex-convict and had been a part of the original gangs of NYC. Maria had been a prostitute and ran a brothel house. They repented and made Jesus their Lord. The prostitutes would attend church but were shunned. So Jerry and Maria brought 'church' to them inside the brothel houses. Every Sunday morning they would set up church services. The woman would come to know the Lord but had no where to go for shelter. So Jerry and Maria purchased a building and set up 24/7 shelter, food, clothing, and the GOOD NEWS OF JESUS for these broken women. All of us are BEAUTIFUL in HIM...

As you listen to this song, please read my story of how my husband, Mark, calls me Chosen Treasure at this site/link: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?saved&&note_id=10150415695785244



As a small child growing up I spent the summer months on my Aunt Clara's Farm in Iowa. Aunt Clara had her own antique shoppe and I loved helping her. My main chore on the farm was always feeding the calf/yearlings... I learned NOT TO WEAR shoes during this time as my shoes got stuck in the dung all the time and my feet would slip right out of my shoes - so it was better just to go bare footed. I also had to help feed the chickens and collect the eggs.   At the age of 12 and 13 - in order to earn money I worked the Apple Orchards and picked apples with the farm Migrant workers.  It was hard work but by the close of the day I earned $13.00....

My brother, Vietnam Veteran, served in Saigon over 2 years.
My Uncle, Korean War Veteran. He ended his career in management at the Department of Interior in Washington DC
My Father, WW II Veteran. Served for over 5 years in this war. He was in command of his own troop whom were part of the original troops to build the Burma/China Bridge so that the soldiers could get over to the war. He earned two purple hearts and a bronze medal of honor. He earned several badges.
My grandfather - WW I Veteran.
My great grandfather - CHILDS - Civil War Veteran. After the war he became a US Marshall. He also had homesteaded farm land in Nebraska and gave a portion of this land to the Methodist Church to build a church. He was saved as a new Christian believer in that very church.
Some of my family through my great grandmother was Rabbi Eli Fischer. He had immigrated from Germany in the early 1900's. It was very anti-semantic even then. He was placed in a wagon and covered with manure to get him through the German lines. He immigrated to America and homesteaded farm land in Nebraska. My elderly cousin still remains on this very farm.

These are dreams that I have had (just some of them) that I have posted in my NOTES section. Please READ

***************************
This is 'Jane'. I am an far right wing conservative, Independent party (as I am tired of same old politics in the white house and BIG GOVERNMENT). I am a part of the Tea Party Movement.
I am a Charismatic Christian Zionist born-again believer, whom reads and believes in The Torah and the Bible as God's written Word. (without The Torah we have no bible).  I am RADICAL for JESUS AS MY LORD.... for without JESUS in my life I would have been dead and living an eternity in HELL.... He, JESUS, The Gentle Shepherd left the 99 sheep and came searching for me...  The least I can do is give Him my life...  for because of GOD from the beginning - every breath I take in this life is because GOD breathed HIS BREATH into Adam in the beginning...  JESUS is the CENTER of my entire world and Universe...  JESUS IS MY HERO of LOVE AND OF LIFE...

I love ISRAEL 1000%, (not just 100% but yes I said 1000%)... I have given a pledge to ISRAEL.

When the day comes that American government turns its back against and away from ISRAEL - this will be the day that I, as an American, will turn my back against and away from AMERICA.
Without the nation of ISRAEL - we are nothing. The JEWISH NATION of ISRAEL is the ROOTS of all nations and all people. The Torah is the ROOTS of the bible. Without the main ROOTS of anything, we will not live.


The JEWISH NATION of ISRAEL and the TORAH is the true main central HEART of God Himself.

*********************

I am completely against any and all abortions. My own mother sought out herself to abort me and even tried to miscarry me (my father conveyed this to me in 1997) as she did not want me to be born (and I heard about this all the years of growing up under her.) Thank God she did not ABORT ME - or else I would not be here now writing this.

(Reason: In America you CAN NOT kill an owl, or an unborn owl egg. You CAN NOT kill an eagle, or an unborn eagle egg. You CAN NOT kill a minnow fish in the river. There is more outcry to SAVE A WHALE. But if you KILL and unborn human being in a womb - this is okay and treated as 'freedom of choice'. This has nothing to do with 'freedom of choice' but has all to do with 'freedom to kill a human being'... This is a BARBARIC mindset.)

I love to LAUGH and have FUN. I am known as very STUBBORN. but I call it 'DETERMINATION'. I am very black and white as for me there are no gray areas.

I have a free spirit that is difficult for people to control - so if you are a 'control' freak with meetings, bible studies, and/or with trying to 'control' people into what you want them to say or do - chances are you will not like me in your group.

I am super open and honest to a FAULT and a person can read me from page to page (cover to cover)... but I also am OPEN as this with my Lord.

My two weakest areas within Jane that the Lord is #1 My heart is too tender and soft and God is wanting me to allow HIM to create a buffer between my soul/emotions and my heart for I often will become hurt inside and take things so personally that I become wounded.d.... 

God is now having me in HIS TRAINING BOOT CAMP to teach me to CHANGE my heart to learn to have SELF CONTROL...  As a kid in growing up, I knew nothing about boundaries as I basically raised myself... so I learned things on my own (rather bad or good)... to best desribe my life I had been like that of a wild stallion horse that has never allowed someone to place boundaries on me but it is time and God is breaking me to learn of HIS SELF CONTROL...

When I think upon SELF CONTROL I think about NIAGARA FALLS and the great SELF CONTROL that brings POWER with great boundaries...

God is bringing me through his BOOT CAMP TRAINING in breaking me to learn SELF CONTROL where my weakness will become GREAT STRENGTH IN HIM....

The person I would probably be most like within God's word would be like Ezekiel... I would come out as seeming strange but I would obey Go no matter what the cost or what it looked like to man, as long as I was obeying God.

I have never liked the established church within America and I butt heads with such establishments. Pastors often try to be the standard line rather than allowing God to be the standard line (as everyone is different). If you do not measure up to their 'standard' as a christian believer - you are not accepted. My biggest gripe of church settings is everyone remains at surface level and sweeping the dirt underneath the carpet and putting up white picket fences... If you speak of real life situations outside of the 'perfect church settings' they can't handle it. But yet we need to be a part of 'church' as this is what ordained... so God is softening my heart in not being the standard myself and/or judge of church settings....

My husband describes me as within the I LOVE LUCY show... Lucy, Lucy, Lucy... only it is Jane, Jane, Jane

My nickname that had been given to me as a teenager had been SNOWFLAKE.... because basically I was different and every snowflake is different and when you run in fresh falling snow you feel like playing and catching the snowflakes in your mouth...  This describes Jane.

I always seem to manage to get in trouble and trouble finds me. Oh well... I have fun.


************************************

MARRIED: I feel very honored to be married to my husband as he is my very best friend and my true 'knight in shining armor' (almost 34 years). Mark is the love of my life. As my husband, Mark has only shown me gentleness, kindness, and goodness of the Lord. He is a very honorable and righteous man of God.In God's Word the best description of Mark (my husband) and my relationship with him in marriage would be found in the Book of Ruth - as BOAZ, a righteous and honorable man of God, covered Ruth.

This Book describes the best of our own marriage relationship with each other.God's Word says that 'the husband is to love the wife as Christ loves the church and gave Himself up for her'... This is the kind of love that flows through Mark's heart toward me.

There is not a better love than what I am married to for life. If you read I Corinthians Chapter 13 in the Bible - this shares of what REAL LOVE looks like and this is the kind of LOVE that I am married to with my own husband.

*************************************

MARK'S AND MY CALLING IN GOD

Mark and I have been involved in Rescue Mission Ministry for most of our marriage Rescue Mission worked began originally in 1826 in Glasgow, Scotland, and then traveled over to the nation of Australia when UK sent their criminals to Australia, this ministry then traveled over seas to America and in 1872 it started in New York City; please see link:

http://www.scrantonrescuemission.com/templates/System/details.asp?id=31654&PID=264261

The founders of Maria and Jerry McAuley (BOOK: Jerry McAuley and His Mission, by Arthur Bonner). Jerry was a ex prisoner convict and had been a part of the original gangs of New York City. Maria had been a prostitute and ran her own private brothel house in NYC. They both came to know the Lord, repented, and turned away from sin and made things right to God. They married. The prostitutes would go to the churches but were shunned and criticized badly from the 'church people' within the church society. So Jerry and Maria brought church to them on Sunday mornings as they would set up church services inside the brothel houses. When the girls came to know the Lord and turned from their sin... they would cry (as recorded in the book) because they had no place to live for shelter outside the brothel houses. So Jerry and Maria purchased a small building in downtown NYC and set up 24 hour/7 day a week shelter, food, clothing, and the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ for the girls to live. This first mission was originally named McAuley Mission but the name changed to Bowery Street Rescue Mission and still operates TODAY in downtown NYC.

Now there are 100's of Rescue Missions provided services to the POOR/HOMELESS/STREET people of society throughout the WORLD. There are even Rescue Missions in India, Australia, Israel, and many other nations.

Mark use to be the Executive Director of Albuquerque Rescue Mission in Albuquerque, New Mexico...

Currently he is the Chaplain at Peoria Rescue Mission.

Our family are the kick outs of society and often even churches (still today)... They are poor, homeless, street people, whom have many types of addictions, gang members, ex-prisoners, veterans, prostitutes, run aways, and even just simple people that have lost their homes and have no where else to go.

These are 'real people' in the world and often are the people that the 'church building settings' can't handle because they don't sweep their dirt under the carpet as they are REAL.

Jesus, Himself, said to leave the 99 sheep and go search for the one lost sheep outside.

Example of my heart in this ministry: Summer 2007 - I was walking around in downtown Peoria, there is a really bad park in the area (called Prostitute park); I ran across a woman whom actually had no face. I spoke to her and walked forward. I felt bad that I did not ask for her name so for two (2) weeks I walked around looking only looking for her to know her name and her story. I found her. Her name is Becky. She weighed about 80 pounds and her hair was coming out. One night as she was strung out on heroin a gang decided to play Pinata with her face and a baseball bat. They spun her around, and bashed in her face and her bone structure (crushed) grew back the same way. She literally has no face. But she has a name - Becky. She came from someones womb and the Lord knew her name before she was born (Psalm 139) - please pray for her release of Satan (that the gates of hell not prevail any longer in her life).

Another story is of a man named 'ISRAEL'... Israel came through the Peoria Rescue Mission doors. He had been in a gang from New Jersey and was actually a gang 'hit' person to get rid of people from the gang. He spent years in prison. He was addicted to heroine and was homeless. He came through our doors. He had tattoos covering his entire body. One day as I was volunteering Mark asked me to counsel him and pray for him.

I spoke to him of God - the Father's great LOVE for him and that I looked at him as a son to my own heart and how much I too loved him as a mother.

Here was this tough gang man, that had spent most of his life in prison, and he started to weep as a baby at that time. He accepted JESUS as His Lord and reached out for help.

Today, he is happily married, serving in a christian church, and on 'fire' for the things of God. He is a complete man of God and is set free.

The day I ministered to ISRAEL I shared with him that ISRAEL was a promise of God and to expect God to come through with PROMISE for Him in his life...

Now ISRAEL is a PROMISE OF LIFE in JESUS as he is set free.

*********************************

Mark and I have experienced and seen many things within Rescue Mission Ministry (church).
I have seen and experienced an actual murder stabbing outside our Rescue Mission front door in Albuquerque. As the man laid in his pool of blood and was dying outside our door I was holding him with his last gulps of life. It was a drug deal that went wrong.

But I also have had many experiences of seeing God's deliverance and LIFE coming into people.

*********************

MY TRUE IDENTITY is not in career/job, people, family, wealth, material possessions, but true identity is in Jesus as my Lord. He has cloaked me with His robe of righteousness. He has made ALL THINGS NEW... He has called me 'saint' instead of sinner.

God's Word is full of His promises of who we really are as a person and our identity.
Jobs/careers/people/family/wealth/material possessions can all fail you and you can lose these things in a moment of time...

But my IDENTITY held in God's Word of TRUTH is what will sustain and keep me when things go wrong in life.

***********************************

HOME: Mark's and my description of HOME is "HOME IS WHERE THE LORD IS"... Our home is not to be permanent on this earth and if God calls us to another place we must be willing to make the new place our "HOME" also... for HOME is where the Lord is and where the Lord is calling you to do...

**************************************

CHRIST FOR THE NATIONS BIBLE COLLEGE, Dallas, Texas. Mark and I have never gone to school for education for ourselves but there steps were only taken as obedience to where and what God had called us to do. The Lord came through for us in so many ways while attending this school. We did not have much money. This is just one description of how God came through for us in provision.

Their link is: http://www.cfni.org/

I would highly recommend this school for anyone whom is a new believer in Jesus Christ, whom is considering going into your calling of God as a missionary, or whom just wants to grow more in God.

This school is very PRO ISRAEL and PRO JEWISH. The founders daughter, Shari, whom is married to Ari Sorko-Ram. Founder, CEO and President of Maoz Israel ministry. Ari is a completed Jew. They live permanently in Israel.

They would give their lives for the Jewish people...

***************************************

Mark and I had a ministry on campus at Christ for the Nations Bible College. We prayed about this and the Lord told us to do this as an outreach to the students on campus, especially international students.

We started a small grocery store directly from our apartment. We got approval from Fred Lindsay (President of CFNI)... a friend whom I worked with one day came to me (whom knew nothing about this little store) and said to me 'Jane, I have a brand new side-by-side refrigerator that we cannot use since we moved - would you take it as a gift)...

Once again - GOD the provider - provided.

We took this refrigerator, placed it inside our apartment and used this for the food supply to give out to the students on campus from campus housing.

We named this outreach 'Loaves and Fishes' for God was going to multiply this blessing to others...
Every Saturday morning at 4:00 a.m. - Mark and I would take our little car and go down to the Farmers Market in downtown Dallas Texas. It was all within a huge square of selling these fresh items and it was HUGE. The farmers got to know us and often would actually give us extras of their crops to bless this ministry on campus. From our own money, Mark and I would purchase eggs, produce, and vegetables, and day old bread - but it go to the point that so many people were getting to know us and wanting to bless us - that we hardly ever had to purchase anything. We also got a dairy farmer that would allow us to bring sterilized milk jugs to him and he would fill these milk jugs up and drop them off at our campus apartment site for 25c a gallon. So this is what we sold the milk products for on campus 25c a gallon. (We never made any kind of profit as this was not our goal - but it was to simply bless the students on campus).

For accountability, Mark and I chose not to ever eat and drink any products from the Loaves and Fishes Warehouse from our apartment and we kept this completely separate for the students on campus only.

It was not for us - but for them.

One day, Mark and I, had no money at all and no groceries remaining for ourselves. So instead of taking out of what God had supplied for the Loaves and Fishes - we prayed...

That evening at about 10:00 pm we prayed out to Jehovah Jirah to provide us food and some money as we had none... We looked to God and not to man for our provision.

About 10:30 pm as I was going to go to bed - I went to lock the door and right after I locked the door we got a large knock on the door. I went outside to see who it was (as we constantly had students coming in and out of our apartment) for food, and fellowship (mainly international students). When I opened the door - NO ONE was outside the door (and I opened it almost immediately after receiving the knock on the door). But sitting in front of the door was two one gallons of milk, two full bags of groceries, and a $50.00 new dollar bill and it said 'For Mark and Jane only'....
GOD PROVIDED once again.

*********************

There are over 28 different Native American Tribes Reservations in New Mexico.

Mark and I had ministered through Albuquerque Rescue Mission Ministries in New Mexico for over 15 years. During our time in Albuquerque, we ministered in Juarez Mexico and also in the Painted Desert Navajo Reservation.

New Mexico is the home of my heart on this earth. The people of New Mexico became my real family of my heart.

Mark & I have very precious friends whom are Native American... Tom & Vicki Bee (Posted above) & a Navajo couple named Joseph &Virginia.

Mark and I would visited Joseph and Virginia on the Painted Desert Navajo Reservation (near Farmington New Mexico)... They had a home church on the reservation

Mark and I would load our car up with food and clothing and take with us as gifts to give out to those on the Reservation and invite them to church at Joseph and Virginia's house.

One Saturday morning, the Spirit of God woke me up extra early (before the sun rose) and told me to go sit at the end of the road and worship Him as the sun rose...

The sun rose over the Painted Desert area mountains and it was the most beautiful site I have ever seen in my life... They call Painted Desert for a reason as when the sun rises the desert actually looks like a painting.


I was sitting on the actual road on the ground worshipping the God of this Universe... with my hands lifted up in Praise and Worship as I was singing songs of worship to God.

Next to this road was a house where a young Native American (Navajo) young woman resided.

She kept coming to window to listen and watch... She then pulled up a chair to listen and watch...

Finally she spoke out over to me and asked me 'what are you doing'....

I explained to her that I was worshipping the God of this Universe, Creator of Heaven and Earth and creator of me as a human being.

She kept listening and watching.

Finally she asked if she could come out and sit with me and learn too.

So both her and I were sitting on the dirt road as I was teaching her how to WORSHIP God of heaven and earth...

At that time I shared with her about how much JESUS loved her and wanted the best for her in life....

Through the conversation I found out that she had been raped by her step father for many years. Her mother had died. Her step father now was in prison on the reservation for this crime... She had many wounds and sorrow within her soul and heart and I held her tears as she would cry and share her life...

She received JESUS as her LORD at that time..

That night was church service at Joseph and Virginia's house and she came to the service.

We had a community church dinner and we were served Mulligan (Lamb) stew, which is very common on the Navajo Reservation as they raise sheep.

I like to laugh and as I shared of God at church service that evening, the people always would laugh....

The men whom attended the church service that evening, went out that same week and caught me a wild stallion horse for them to break so I had my own horse to ride. They named this horse the Navajo language but the name was 'CRAZY WHITE WOMAN' - as I made them laugh so much they called me their 'CRAZY WHITE WOMAN FRIEND'....

The young woman whom received JESUS as I sat on the dirt road that morning, was discipled by Joseph and Virginia and still serves in this church today....

All it takes is one small act of OBEDIENCE TO GOD's VOICE to sit on a dirt road, sing praises and worship to HIM, and for someone to come to know Him (all out of obedience)....

The Native American people are the most precious people in America.... I am honored to have them as my friends... They became the family of my heart on this earth.

CLOSING STATEMENT

Gods most important commands to follow is:

Matthew Chapter 22: 35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

I apply this alongside of:

LUKE Chapter 10: 25And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and broug(t him to an inn, and took care of him. 35And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

I truly believe that if we of God's 'church and/or synogogues' could grasp ahold of these scriptures of Gods Word then we are actually doing what GOD wants us to do in our life.....

Think about the Good Samartian, he was despised by the Pharisees and Levite Priests, and he was a complete stranger but yet he took the time to see another person's wounds and to take care of those wounds...

The 'religious' people whom knew God's word through and through with the Pharisees and Levite Priests .. they understood the LAWS of GOD but not the LOVE OF GOD...

I truly believe when we stand before GOD face to face on that JUDGEMENT DAY - his measurement stick will be 'DID YOU LOVE'.... 'DID YOU ONLY LOVE THOSE WHOM YOU WERE COMFORTABLE WITH OR WHOM MADE YOU HAPPY INSIDE - OR DID YOU TRULY LOVE'....

HIS HEART BEATS FOR YOU






****************************************

Who am I - that the Lord would care to know my name 'Jane'... or your name...

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wondering heart.

Not because of who I am.
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done.
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord you catch me when I'm falling,
And you told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who am I?
That the voice that calm the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am.
But because what of youve done.
Not because of what I've done.
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord you catch me when I'm falling,
And you told me who I am.
I am yours.

Not because of who I am.
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done.
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord you catch me when I'm falling,
You told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cuz I am yours.
I am yours.
