In 1 Timothy 1:12 Paul writes,

"And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry."

According to Paul, Jesus did three things.  First, He enabled him, which means Jesus is the One who puts the gifting in you.  He is the One who gives you talent.  He is the One who gives you the ability.

Second, Paul says that Jesus counted him faithful.  Apparently, Jesus is watching and He expects you and me to be faithful.

Third, Paul says that Jesus put him into the ministry.  In other words, Jesus opens doors when we are faithful, doors that no man can shut.  When the way seems blocked, Jesus can make a way where there is no way.

Here is the point.  It is not enough just to be enabled.  Some of the greatest, most gifted, and talented people in the world are living far, far below their potential.  While the enablement is there, Jesus has not found them faithful yet, and so certain doors of opportunity remain shut.

Having the gifting is not enough.  You need to have both the gifting and be faithful.  When both are there, Jesus opens doors.

Recognize and develop the gifting God has given you, but focus on being faithful so that God can open doors in your life.

Please keep my friend Tony M. and his mother and family in prayer.  His mother had a severe stroke a week ago and has been hosppitalized.  She is not longer responding to treatment or to people, but I told Tony that she knows he is there.  He has been spending almost all of his time in the hospital at her side.  Please pray that if his mother will not be healed by God, the He would take her home peacefully and soon so she does not suffer while being unable to eat, speak, or react.  I pray the peace of Christ upon this family and lift them daily to the care of our Lord.

Be God's!

May God's many blessings be abundant with everyone here!

Sissy,

Your friend Tony M., his mother and thier family are all lifted up.  We know God is in control, no matter what happens.  One of the many wonderful things about this thread is when prayer requests are put on it, there are many praying about it... that reminds me of one of the most comforting passages in the Bible to me, when Jesus promises to be where two or more are gathered in His Name.  What an awesome promise!  Dear Lord, we are all in agreement in prayer for Sissy's friends, that you let your will be done and give them Your perfect peace throughout the entirety of the hard time they're going through.  We ask this in Jesus Name, Amen.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Prayin too, Sis. God will is always perfect, and sometimes we simply dont see it. Not meant to we do know that God works through trials, pain, and the like .... Tony

Sis, praying for Tony M, his mother and family as well as you and your mother and all others on here.


Have a great Palm Sunday and God bless

Praying for TonyM and mom. Father, comfort Tony in this time of helplessness and distress and bring about healing according to your will. Please let him feel your presence as well as any other family. We ask for healing Lord. In Jesus name. Amen! Your will be!

Hey guys, please lift coach Bobby Petrino up. He had a motorcycle wreck last night and is in the hospital.

Praying for you all. Have a blessed day!

 coach Bobby Petrino up. He had a motorcycle wreck last night and is in the hospital.Praying for you all. Have a blessed day!

Will do- those bike accidents are scary, man.  I have come up on a couple, and it always scares me- how little protection you have when it's car-on-bike.  The few times I have been tempted to straddle a hog, my wife vetoes it.  LOL- I don't have to worry about making a decision anymore. 


Father, we lift up coach Petrino and his family.  We know that it is the fear of what might happen that troubles us.  Send Your Spirit to make yourself real to them in this hour.  I lift up Sis and her Mom.  I lift up all the various requests that have been mentioned.  I also ask that You minister to the unspoken requests.  Father, we know that You know our every need and care- even the number of hairs on our head (for some this is a bigger deal than for others).  We ask in Jesus' Name, Amen.   

"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me."
Psalm 50:15

Prayer opens our eyes to see God's hands at work in the midst of trouble.

Lord, When life's troubles leave me feeling broken, please help me turn to You in prayer.  You are my deliverer & I want to honor You. In Jesus Name, Amen.


Gary, I will definitely keep Coach Patrino in my prayers.


I saw my GI tract doctor today after having the endoscopy a few weeks ago.  The new medicine seems to be preventing more bleeding ulcers, but we are having a hard time getting the insurance company to agree to pay for it.  The doctor and his staff have been wonderful in pursuing this for me.  I'm hoping Mom is discharged from treatment this week, and no more venous ulcers develop on her legs.  She then has to make up her mind if she will have further cancer surgery and if she will have the bypass surgery on her legs and femoral artery.  One day at a time, sweet Jesus!

Be God's!
Sis

Good morning and God bless.  All prayers and posters ae lifted up.

Coach Petrino is lifted up.  Everytime I see or hear of a motorcycle wreck I wonder why I ride.  I guess I have a short memory.  May God please keep me safe.

Sis, you and your mom are lifted up.

Heavenly Father, I lift up Sis and her mom and give praise for the healing You have performed and ask that You would continue to bless them with eventual complete healing.  I ask that You would touch the hearts of the insurance folks that all costs would be covered and I ask for Your peace, comfort and blessing on this entire situation.  I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

Tony, Sis, Greg, Gary, JT, good to see you

Have a great and blessed day

Jack

Thanks for the prayers for Coach P! he has some broken ribs and he is banged up but will fully recover.

Sis, continuing to pray for Mom and you.

Praying for this thread and all who come here!

Gary

Last Sunday marks two months since Anita's husband Greg died.  She is having ups and downs as to be expected.  Please keep her and her family in prayers.

Tony's Mom is getting worse.  Her lungs are filling with liquid and the doctors can't seem to drain it off.  Doesn't sound like it will be long, but she is a remarkably strong woman of faith to have lasted this long, and Tony (even though he is dragging) is still faithfully at the hospital caring for his Mom.  Please keep them in prayer.

We serve a God who keeps His eye on the poor, the widow, the orphan, the suffering, the helpless, the sorrowful--and He will restore strengtrh and joy to all in His time.  Praise His name!

Be God's!
Sis
