One of the greatest verses in Scripture for parents with unsaved children is found in the writings of the prophet Isaiah: "Who can snatch the prey from the hands of a mighty man? Who can demand that a tyrant let his captive go? But the Lord says, 'Even the captives of the most mighty and most terrible shall all be freed; for I will fight those who fight you, and I will save your children" (Isaiah 49:24 & 25, TLB).
Thank God! This promise assures you that God will save your children, if you'll hold on and claim them for Christ. The Bible also says, "He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge" (Proverbs 14:26, NIV). This verse implies there will come a time when your children will need protection from calamity or trouble; they will need a fortress-and will flee to yours.

"ANNA'S MIRACLE"
In Psalm 46:1 we read: “God is . . . a very present help in trouble.” Our God is present now! He was our help in ages past but He is a very present help now, today—in the midst of any and all troubles.
“Therefore will not we fear” (46:2). We have no need to fear because our God is a consuming fire, a defender and shield for His children.
“God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). He is altogether faithful and true to His Word.
Anna is dying inside. Oh Lord please heal me from this pain. I beseech thee Lord to heal my mind and my body. Please take away all my fears and anxiety. Oh Lord please search my heart and remove all jealousies and envies.
Oh Lord it is all I can do to lie here day and night without any hope. I see no future and I just want to die right here. There is no hope for change. I only see sadness and darkness for my future.
Then Anna begins to ponder the idea, what if I just try and crawl to get my work done. What if I just try and crawl through the bedroom floor and gather all the laundry. If I could gather it all up and put it in one corner of the hall I could later maybe drag it into the laundry room.
Depression oh my Lord, has taken my strength. I am no more than a paralyzed cripple in my demeanor. How strange yet wonderful there are some who have never felt this sickness. This is a real mental sickness that takes your body away. It makes your body powerless to perform normal duties.
This is a sickness people can see. They see the evidence of the sickness but no bruises, scratches, blood or crutches to make their pain show. The pain is hidden in the heart and the soul. It produces no beauty in your surroundings and gives you away. People see something is wrong. It is a pitiful bondage for those who suffer this disease.
In order for Anna to be healed she has to take the first step. This she has figured might be her only way. She is thinking God is telling her to move, just make a move towards your wholeness and see where it goes. With dizziness overwhelming her, she fears to move yet she realizes this may be her only way out and an easier fight than she would have imagined.
She feels silly but so ready to see what God will do. She has made up her mind to push herself to move. Anna has chills and is so cold. She decides to dress very warm . Keep in mind this is not a physical sickness, this is mental which has drained her physical health.
She realizes she will have to fight even for this meager way of cleaning. She is able to fight one step at a time. She is knowing in her heart that God will meet her and honor her faith. She does not know how but she knows God is faithful. This keeps Anna going.
Anna is hoping for a complete recovery. She had for a couple of years fell on her face to God in prayer for a miracle. She had thought God would instantly pick her up and fill her with excitement and vigor to do her duties. It never happened. She heard a small voice in her head to just take a step of faith, then comes faith. Then comes the miracle. The miracle is lasting.
ANNA WILL BEGIN TOMORROW AND FINISH THIS REPORT.
Anna woke today after being up during the wee morning hours of 5/22/2014 and felt something different has happened to her. She has hope and strength to press forward and she never did have to physically crawl through her work. God is so Good. This is Anna's Miracle!
She has not felt this much freedom in at least 2 years. She knows a miracle has happened. She cleaned house, dressed and was able to go out for dinner with her husband. Eating out had been dreaded for her. It took all her energy to dress to go out.
Update: 5/27/2014
I can't sleep, I'm excited to be alive and no I haven't taken any meds. No Ambien. Just happy to be alive. Wow, haven't felt this way in a long time. Anticipating Life! Thank You Jesus.
You must be relentless in your prayer to God. If you are a child of God's he will hear your prayer and answer you. It is his desire to give us what is good for us.
Hannah is one of the most poignant characters in the Old Testament. Like several other women in the Bible, she was barren. People in ancient Israel believed that a large family was a blessing from God. Infertility, therefore, was a source of humiliation and shame. To make matters worse, her husband's other wife not only bore children but taunted Hannah mercilessly.
Once, at the house of the Lord in Shiloh, Hannah was praying so intently that her lips moved silently with the words she spoke to God in her heart. Eli the priest saw her and accused her of being drunk. She answered that she was praying, pouring out her soul to the Lord. Touched by her pain,
Eli answered, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him." (1 Samuel 1:17, NIV)Anna believed God could do a miracle for her like he did for Hannah. God heard Anna's cry.

My Implant/SOUTHERN SURGICAL ARTS
First of all let me say, I am on cloud nine! I will have a number 19th tooth again. This was depressing to lose that tooth. It made me feel I was slowly loosing my parts! laugh! That's when you begin to feel like age is catching up with you. I now feel young again. Isn't that funny, that getting a tooth has such power.
When I got to the Oral, Facial, Implant Center, they had me sign papers of what could go wrong. Oh yea, I really needed that. You could get an infection, you could get a tooth beside the implant to be damaged and need a root canal or better yet, it could be lost. Then came the final most wonderful statement," Your jaw could be broken into. hahaha. Yea, so glad I had my Ativan under my tongue when reading that one.
The whole experience was Wonderful. I felt no pain. I was assured of no pain. I assumed they would stick the needle in my gums and then give me the anesthesia. The nurse prepared me with information, hooked me up to oxygen, told me she would do an iv first and I would be given meds through that, then they would stick the needle in my gums without me feeling it. Boy, what good news. She also trough the iv gave me antibiotics just to be safe from infections later. I felt like a queen being fussed over. It was totally painless and yet I was aware of them working on my implant. I remember hearing the doctor screwing in the implant. No pain No fear. It was a wonderful experience if one could say seeing a doc can be wonderful. The nurse gave me a fuzzy blanket to keep warm. How sweet! I felt I was in good hands. I would recommend this place to all my children. It is that professional.
Just want you all to know this clinic. They are brothers, Charles Stone is my doctor and his brother is Brian Stone. It is located in an area just before the New Fresh Brookshire's. The building is high-tech and so modern. It is set up with surgical rooms. Ice cold like the hospitals are. The area of recovery was all glassed in and outside were beautiful stone pillars, flowers and a drive through area to be picked up by family. Wow, Just a state of the art place. Here is a picture of their sign on a instruction sheet. It is in the area of the new El Charo's. I can truly recommend this place to anyone. My own children. I give God the glory for leading me here.

What I have is a implant screw that is, it seems the same level as my gums and I have stiches. I also assume that what he put in my gums will be a piece that the actual implant bar will be screwed into and a cap on top that. I thought I would leave his office with a shiny silver bar sticking up until I got my cap. All I see is a place where there are stitches. Pretty Cool.
Thank You Dr. Charles Stone!
Doctor Brian Stone and Charles Stone on right!

If This Is All You Can Do
As Christians we get caught up in daily life and the things of this world. Jesus never leaves us. We sometimes neglect to call upon him and then we feel awkward after so long without fellowship with him. Then usually we are ashamed to call on him. He is patiently waiting and wants you to come to him.
If this is all you can do, Jesus will hear you. Proverbs 15:29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but hears the prayers of the righteous. Because of this verse I would ask the Lord to forgive me of all my sins or unknown sins before I begin my prayer if I were shy and new at kneeling before the Almighty God. If this then is all you can do is pray, Jesus Help Me! This problem is too big for me to fix. Please help me. He will honor this prayer of your hearts cry. He knows your needs and your situation. Don't be shy to ask him. Kneel before the Lord to show your attention and honor to him.
Thank him and trust in him to begin a work in your life. It will be easier next time to be intimate with the Lord after this.

We're No Accident
My thoughts were why do I have to lose my tooth after all I do all the right things. I have my teeth cleaned twice a year, floss and brush at least twice a day. I asked the Lord to please save my tooth. It had a crack and could not be repaired. I had a crown on that tooth for about 16 years. There is a reason for everything. Even though this was my last back chewing tooth left on my lower left side, it had to go. I have no choice but to get an implant if I want to chew my food.
Sitting in the Oral Surgeons exam room I am getting anxious and wanted to just leave the place. Then I started to realize there is a reason I am losing this tooth and God is with me. He promises to not leave me. He will help me through this procedure. I finally calmed down and when the doctor came in we looked at the complete skeleton ex rays of all my teeth and jaw. He informed me I had enough bone to do an implant. Which will be done in two months. This was great news. Again, God is with me.
It came to me. It was so clear. It is no accident why we have our back teeth. Why? Of course to eat, but wait! If there was a Big Bang and earth was made and then in the water some fish came out and walked and turned into monkey's and then turned in to man, what a perfect accident this was! The accident realized we needed back teeth to chew! Wow, Now, the accident is the theory of some and of course the atheist. Isn't it neat how the Big Bang was able to know or even care to supply food on earth and back teeth to chew the food.
Now I am seeing it as a wonderful Revelation to see this through this window. I already knew there is a God but how do I tell or convince an atheist of this. I had no explanation other than I know because I have experienced God and I am a born again Christian. This is not science or proof of God, just my feelings. How could a big bang theory be an intelligent idea for anyone to believe? Is it a coincident that we have minds to choose to do good or evil? How about our digestive systems? How about how I our bodies work. So the (big bang) thought of making back teeth for chewing? That is less believable than there is a God who created the World and loved us enough to think of how to make our bodies work perfectly, supply us crops from the land and animals for meat.
We're not to argue with anyone to convince them there is a God but I now know myself how to explain my belief in, there is a God. Some people don't claim to be atheist but have no belief there is a God. I know someone I met online from Israel who is a Kersh and he has a website about being an atheist. I corresponded with him and tried to reason with him about God. I asked him how can one feel love for their children and not know there is a God. He told me he loved his children and family and it had nothing to do with a God. I just did not know how to explain it to him because I had no other explanation other than I just know there is a God and believe the Bible. He saw me as just emotional and uneducated.
We're No Accident! The Bible says we are wonderfully made. Now I see in my heart how we are wonderfully made. God put thought and love into making us. The earth and all that he created was for us in mind. All of this came to me from losing a back tooth. God is so good! I love Jesus so much for showing me how much he loves us. We are wonderfully made.
Psalms 139: 13-15.
13. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Entertainment In The House Of God
- OMGoodness! How in the name of the Lord do I keep my mouth shut! What is the church coming to? Mother's Day is a man made day. " lets do thank our moms! " never was it intended to come before the Lord on his day. Church is a place of worship and for the lost to seek comfort. If I was lost and needed Jesus and knew or heard I could find him in church I would hope to not walk in on this! A Broadway Show because it is Sunday and by the way it is Mother's Day. If I am broken hearted, lost, hungry, sad, lonely and in need of salvation and redemption I could just sit back and enjoy the show!
I am Pentecostal and this is a Pentecostal Church. I wonder if Jesus attended this show! This is not Holiness! This is pure Worldliness! Let's dance to rock and prance around in foolishness on what is supposed to be Holy Ground! I wish David Wilkerson was still alive and I could talk to him. I really need a real live sober Christian to talk to. I am beginning to feel like an alien on this earth. I am sorry if I offend you church but someone has to tell the Truth! God have mercy because these people have laughed in the face of a Holy God!

Squandering Brings Poverty Life Style
Ever hear someone say, " I am going to be a millionaire." or " I want to be a millionaire." ? It means nothing, it leads to nothing within itself. If one has no concept of true happiness, then the money will not make it happen. One can be totally content, happy and secure on very little.
You see, one can have much and live so beneath their expected lifestyle. An earthly example would be hoarders. They can have a lot of money to buy and buy stuff. They let the stuff keep coming in until there is no room for order or a normal healthy lifestyle. They are now living in poverty. Why, because they can't cook, entertain, take a carefree bath or sleep in a bed with clean sheets. You may think, well if they have a lot of money they could just start over. Maybe, but even if they start over they will go back to their lifestyle if they do not change their lifestyle from the heart, actually their thinking.
The answer isn't being a millionaire or really rich. The answer is how you value yourself and what you already have. You see, if you know who you are in Christ, you have what the world calls self esteem. It is really called knowing your value, not self esteem. God made you his heir when you gave your heart and life to Jesus. You are valuable, you can and should live a rich quality of life. Like my grandmother Grace once said, "Anyone can afford a bar of soap!" No one needs to go dirty.
How does one Squander their Riches? There are so many ways to live in poverty yet be quite well off.
1. When your car breaks down, instead of repairing and doing maintenance one will finance a new one. This is an easy way out. I do realize the very rich may do better trading in a car every year because this would be affordable to them since they have chosen to always drive a new car. For those of us who are moderately making it yet not poor, it is better to stay away from a car payment. You do this by tender loving care. Drive your car until it is no longer able to move. Keep up your maintenance, it is cheaper than a new loan. Yes, the new car makes you feel rich, gives your self esteem a boost and it smells good! What about your next trip to the grocery store and you feel the need to pinch a little more because of the New Car? Now how rich do you feel?
2. One is quite well off if they have a fairly new iphone. It works great. No problems, but it's not the latest! There is now a newer iphone that does this and that. Wow, it is amazing. All the apps are wow! Where is your contentment in having a perfectly usable phone that works great? Will an upgrade bring you more happiness? Is it making you a smarter, more hip and modern person? Or is it a constant chase and discontentment to keep up! Keeping up can be so costly and exhausting, and for who or what? When do you rest and feel whole? Contentment is real maturity and integrity.
3. No peace or happiness will come with all the stuff. It will drown you in a poverty lifestyle. On the show Hoarders, you see new sacks of goods from Macy's, Penney's or Lowes just thrown in a pile with other sacks and trash. They have so much money invested in New Garbage! Now they are in deep poverty because the tub is full of trash and sacks of New Stuff so they can not take a bath. The day I can't take a bath I am in deep poverty! Their kitchen is over run with dishes new and dirty. They were poverty stricken when their money ran out because of buying all the Stuff and no place to put it and no way to use it. What caused their Poverty! Thinking they needed More and More and never being content and satisfied with what they had. They placed their value/worth in keeping up and having stuff.
4. Junk Food Diet, Smoking, Drinking and taking Drugs lead to poverty. How can I say that? Am I judging? No, it is just the plain truth. Think about the cost of Junk Food. A diet of processed sugar and garbage are cheap in dollar amount sometimes, but your body does pay a price. The price will lead to poverty in your health. Smoking is very expensive and it can ruin your health. Drinking and Drugs are costly and lead to health problems. This all leads to an impoverished body and finances. What about the poverty in relationships because of these things? What are we teaching our loved ones? A lifestyle beneath you. A lifestyle beneath what God intended for us. We have power over all these things through Jesus Christ. We are given the power of Choice.
5. On the flip side of over doing it what have you gained if you have Perfect House and a Betty Crocker Kitchen and your kids are out of control, lost or hurting for your attention? You and your children are in poverty. They need your attention and order but not perfection. What will they remember when grown, those beautifully perfectly made beds or the times you played with them and listened to their dreams and even their fears of today's world. Only Jesus can help us to do all we need to do. He wants us to enjoy our children and be there for them. Let him have the cares of this world. He wants us to be free from fear so we can be there for our children. We do not have to be bound with worries. You have power over the enemy who torments you with worry. Jesus gives you power over the enemy through his name. Call upon him. Touch his garment, press through for your petitions. It is God's will to be free from worry.
Jesus will help us to do the right thing. If you really want to live a Rich life, you can. You can be so rich in the Lord and be blessed with Integrity and Contentment! You will feel in control by not letting the allure of this world tell you what makes you rich. You will not be bound any more. Jesus will set you free. It's not a Money amount. It's a contentment and power over being seduced by the world and lies of the enemy about your self worth, amount.
The best feeling in the world is to live within your means. Being content with what you have is a peaceful state. It is what Jesus called us to do. Your circumstances can change. There are times you may just survive and be totally blessed with your needs being met. We can ask for a more prosperous life. God wants to give us the desires of our hearts, but we first need to be trusting towards him and content that he will bless us according to his will. Seek him and his righteousness first and all these things will be added unto you. There is such Power in being content and taking care of what God has entrusted to us.
We are all human and have struggled with some of these things. It has taken many years for the Lord to teach me that no matter how much money my husband makes, I lived in poverty when I was living beneath where God wanted me. After receiving the Holy Ghost I was given power over the enemy and practiced my heritage. I have been set free from many things in my life. I know my heritage. I know the promises God has made. We have power over the enemy. I do not have to be bound. God has truly set me free. This is real. He has set me free from cigarettes and many other things over the years. I am not saying those who smoke are sinners, no not at all. I am saying it is being Bound to something that hurts your health. Being bound is an awful way to live. 1 John 2:1 If we do sin we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ. Yes, I am saying we can sin and I do still slip up sometimes, but Jesus will bring me back to right standing with him again. I do not have to be bound to a certain bondage. I have overcome through Jesus. That is your heritage. There is power in the Holy Ghost! I did not know this power after being saved. I practiced this power after being Baptized in the Holy Ghost!
You see, one can have much and live so beneath their expected lifestyle. An earthly example would be hoarders. They can have a lot of money to buy and buy stuff. They let the stuff keep coming in until there is no room for order or a normal healthy lifestyle. They are now living in poverty. Why, because they can't cook, entertain, take a carefree bath or sleep in a bed with clean sheets. You may think, well if they have a lot of money they could just start over. Maybe, but even if they start over they will go back to their lifestyle if they do not change their lifestyle from the heart, actually their thinking.

We are all human and have struggled with some of these things. It has taken many years for the Lord to teach me that no matter how much money my husband makes, I lived in poverty when I was living beneath where God wanted me. After receiving the Holy Ghost I was given power over the enemy and practiced my heritage. I have been set free from many things in my life. I know my heritage. I know the promises God has made. We have power over the enemy. I do not have to be bound. God has truly set me free. This is real. He has set me free from cigarettes and many other things over the years. I am not saying those who smoke are sinners, no not at all. I am saying it is being Bound to something that hurts your health. Being bound is an awful way to live. 1 John 2:1 If we do sin we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ. Yes, I am saying we can sin and I do still slip up sometimes, but Jesus will bring me back to right standing with him again. I do not have to be bound to a certain bondage. I have overcome through Jesus. That is your heritage. There is power in the Holy Ghost! I did not know this power after being saved. I practiced this power after being Baptized in the Holy Ghost!
