Song: Precious Lord, Take My Hand
1. Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; through the storm,
through the night, lead me on to the light:
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
2. When my way grows drear, precious Lord, linger near,
when my life is almost gone; hear my cry,
hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall:
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
3. When the darkness appears and the night draws near,
and the day is past and gone,
at the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand:
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
Words and Music: Thomas A. Dorsey, 1938 "Precious Lord"

AMP: Know, recognize and understand therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations.
NCV: So know that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God. He will keep his agreement of love for a thousand lifetimes for people who love him and obey his commands.
Deuteronomy 32:4
KJV: He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment; a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
AMP: He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are law and justice, a God of faithfulness, without breach or deviation, just and right is He.
NCV: He is like a rock; what he does is perfect, and he is always fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong, who is right and fair.
Prayer:
Oh Lord God, You are a faithful God. I ask you to bless all my friends who are going through a very rough time. Help us to remember that You are a faithful God. You are our Rock; You are our God and all Your work is perfect. We says this by faith because our understanding is small. Grant us Thy peace and joy of knowing that You are faithful to us. We love You. We thank you. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Feel Depressed? Sing
Song: He Looked Beyond My Fault
Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise,
For it was grace that bought my liberty;
I do not know just why He came to love me so,
He looked beyond my fault and saw my need.
I shall forever lift mine eyes to Calvary
To view the cross where Jesus died for me;
How marvelous the grace that caught my falling soul!
He looked beyond my fault and saw my need.
Song by Dottie Rambo [Londonderry Air]
What to do when you feel depressed:
God's Word says:
"I will give them a crown to replace their ashes, and the oil of gladness to replace heir sorrow, and clothes of praise to replace their spirit of sadness. Then they will be called Trees of Goodness, trees planted by the Lord to show his greatness.
Isaiah 61:3 NCV
"... to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61:3 KJV
Psalm 37:24
KJV: though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with His hand.
NCV: If he stumbles, he will not fall, because the Lord holds his hand.
AMP: Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him.
Dorothy: What am I going through? Depressed! So what am I going to do about the depression feeling? I would sing that song; quote God's Word and allow the Holy Spirit to make intercession through me for those who are going through depression. I may feel what you are feeling so please join me in prayer of intercession so that we would all be lifted up in Jesus' name and allow God to become real to our spirit.
Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise,

I do not know just why He came to love me so,

Renewal
Renewal is a law of God.
2 Corinthians 4:16b
KJV: "...Though our outward man perish, yet the
inward man is renewed day by day."
AMP: "...Though our outer man is [progressively]
decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is
being [progressively] renewed day after day."
NCV: "Our physical body is becoming older and
weaker, but our spirit inside of us is made new
every day."
Quote from the Card Scripture Meditation:
Renewal is a law of God. We renew our bodies
each day by eating food. The Word of God is our
spiritual food. We need to renew our minds in
the Word of God.
Our Father doesn't want us to renew our minds
occasionally. II Corinthians 4:16 tell us to
renew our minds on a daily basis.
If we obey these instructions from God, we'll
continually change our thinking to think more
and more like He thinks. "...be constantly
renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a
fresh mental and spiritual attitude]..."
(Ephesians 4:23). The Amplified Bible
Ephesians 4:23
NCV: But you were taught to be made new in your hearts.
KJV: And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
Dorothy: What this means to me?
It just made me realize that God wants us to stay connect
with Him every day. This is why Holy Spirit continues to
be with us day by day, keeping us in contact with the
Father and Jesus Christ. It made sense when Jesus said,
"Men ought always to pray" (Luke 18:1). It means "stay
connect with God." He loves us that much to stay connect
with us. May the Lord bless you today.

Faith in God - 12
Chorus: It Will Be Worth It All
It Will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life's trials will seem so small
When we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face,
all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race,
Till we see Christ. [See note below]
Jesus, the One who began our faith.
Hebrews 12:1-3 New Century Version
We have around us many people whose lives tell us what faith means. So let us run the race that is before us and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything that would get in the way and the sin that is so easily holds us back. Let us look only to Jesus, the One who began our faith and who makes it perfect. He suffered death on the cross. But He accepted the shame as if it were nothing because of the joy that God put before Him. And now He is sitting at the right side of God's throne. Think about Jesus' example. He held on while wicked people were doing evil things to Him. So do not get tired and stop trying.
Hebrews 12:1b and 2 Amplified Bible
...let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher, [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Dorothy: The KJV quoted "... let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith..." [Heb.12:1b,2a]. This verses matched the chorus, "It will be worth it all when we see Jesus." It is a great encouragement to Tony and me that God has a work for us to do. We live by faith day by day especially when we became older and it takes more faith to trust God. I pray this will inspire you to continue to live for Jesus who gave us faith to begin with.
The chorus, "It will be worth it all" is from the book called, Inspiring Choruses, containing selected choruses and songs not found in the Crowning Glory Hymnal. Compiled by Rev. Lee Peters; Assembled by Christ Ambassador, Youth Department.

Faith in God - 11
Chorus: Victory Ahead
Victory ahead! Victory ahead!
Through the blood of Jesus, victory ahead;
Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conqu'or's tread,
By faith I see the victory ahead!
Verse 1:
When the hosts of Israel, led by God,
Round the walls of Jericho softly trod;
Trusting in the Lord, they felt the conqu'or's tread,
By faith they saw the victory ahead.
Verse 2:
David, with a shepherd's sling and five stones,
Met the giant on the field all alone;
Trusting in the Lord, he knew what God had said,
By faith he saw the victory ahead.
Verse 3:
Daniel prayed unto the Lord thrice each day,
Then unto the lion's den led the way;
Trusting in the Lord, he did not fear or dread,
By faith he saw the victory ahead.
Verse 4:
When like those who've gone before to that land,
By death's river cold and dark I shall stand;
Trusting in the Lord, I will not fear or dread,
By faith I saw the victory ahead.
Lyrics and Music: William Grum
Question: What is faith?
Answer: Hebrews 11:1
KJV: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence not seen.
AMP: Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the
title-deed) of things [we] hope for, being the proof of
things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality--
faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.
Hebrews 11:1-3 NCV "What Is Faith?"
Faith means being sure of things we hoped for and knowing
that something is real even if we do not see it. Faith is
the reason we remember great people who lived in the past.
It is by faith we understand that the whole world was made
by God's command so what we see was made by something that
cannot be seen.
Victory ahead! Victory ahead!
Through the blood of Jesus, victory ahead;
Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conqu'or's tread,
By faith I see the victory ahead!
Verse 1:
When the hosts of Israel, led by God,
Round the walls of Jericho softly trod;
Trusting in the Lord, they felt the conqu'or's tread,
By faith they saw the victory ahead.
Verse 2:
David, with a shepherd's sling and five stones,
Met the giant on the field all alone;
Trusting in the Lord, he knew what God had said,
By faith he saw the victory ahead.
Verse 3:
Daniel prayed unto the Lord thrice each day,
Then unto the lion's den led the way;
Trusting in the Lord, he did not fear or dread,
By faith he saw the victory ahead.

By death's river cold and dark I shall stand;

Faith in God - 10
Book Title: Come Away My Beloved by Frances J. Roberts
Love Never Faileth
"Behold I am the Lord, Thy God; is anything too hard for Me? I am the LIGHT of the world, and the greatest darkness shall never be able to quench [stop] that light. I shall be to thee a cloud to preserve [save] by day and a pillar of fire to protect by night. Both in the sunshine and in the darkness, I shall be near thee. Thou shalt delight in Me in thy joys; and in the place of difficulty My love for thee shall be as inescapably [cannot escape] real as a blazing pillar of fire. Yea, all I was to Israel, and more, I shall be to thee. For have I not promised to give thee the desires of thine heart, and the heathen for thine inheritance?
Let no fear hinder [stop you]. For he that wavereth receiveth not. But keep thine heart single [focus one thing] and every alien [wandering] thought thou shalt rebuke in My name, for it is of the enemy. For he knoweth full well that he has no defense against pure faith. Only if he can succeed to plant some seed of doubt can he hold back the blessing of heaven among the people of God and nullify [destroy] the witness to the lost. So hold fast thy profession of FAITH, for there is a great recompense of reward.(Or we may say, the inheritance of faith is a most rewarding recompense.)
"So praise Me continually, for Praise worketh Faith, and God inhabiteth the Praise of His People. If ever I seem to be far from thee, PRAISE! If ever darkness seemeth to press about thee, this know,--thou hast neglected to PRAISE ME. Love ME; pour out they adoration and worship. Be sure of this: LOVE NEVER FAILETH. Loving Me never fails to bring Me to thy side, He seeth Me most clearly who lovest Me most dearly."
Having Faith Has A Great Recompense of Reward
Hebrews 10:35-38
KJV: Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. NCV: So do not lose the courage you had in the past, which has a great reward. You must hold on, so you can do what God wants and receive what He has promised. For in a very short time, "The One who is coming will come and will not delayed. The person who is right with Me will live by trusting in Me. But if he turns back with fear, I will not be pleased with him." Verse 39: But we are not those who turn back and are lost. We are people who have faith and are saved.

Faith in God - 9
Song: Keep Me True, Lord Jesus
Keep me true, Lord Jesus, keep me true;
Keep me true, Lord Jesus, keep me true;
There's a race that I must run,
There are victory to be won.
Give me power, every hour, to be true.
Purity of Faith More Than Gold.
1 Peter 1:7-9
NCV: These troubles come to prove that your faith is pure. This purity of faith is worth more than gold, which can be proved to be pure by fire but will ruin. But the purity of your faith will bring you praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is shown to you. You have not seen Christ, but still you love him. You cannot see him now, but you believe in him. So you are filled with a joy that cannot be explained, a joy full of glory. and you are receiving the goal of your faith--the salvation of your souls.
AMP: So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One, is revealed. Without having seen Him you love Him; though you do not [even] now see Him you believe in Him, and exult and thrill with inexpressible and glorious (triumphant, heavenly) joy. [At the same time] you receive the result (outcome, consummation) of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Dorothy: What is the most difficult thing right now? It is not seeing Jesus in person, in reality. The word of God tells us how rich our faith is when we believe without seeing Jesus in person. Thomas would not believe the disciples that they had seen the Lord. Until Thomas see Jesus, he would believe. Jesus is giving us the message today that we are being blessed by putting our faith in the Word of God, the Bible. Holy Spirit is the one that witness to our spirit that we are His child. It takes faith, doesn't it? Our faith is precious to God, better than gold. That is why it is important to sing, "Keep me true, Lord Jesus, keep me true," to Him. God bless you today.
Keep me true, Lord Jesus, keep me true;
Keep me true, Lord Jesus, keep me true;
There's a race that I must run,
There are victory to be won.
Give me power, every hour, to be true.

Faith in God - 8
Song: Victory
I am trusting in the Lord,
I am standing on His Word,
Victory... Victory...
I have peace and joy within,
Since my life is free from sin,
Victory... Victory...
Chorus: Victory... yes, victory...
Hallelujah! I am free,
Jesus gives me victory,
glory, glo...ry, hallelujah!
He is all... in all to me...
John 16:33 - Jesus said:
KJV: "These things I have spoken unto you, that
in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall
have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have
overcome the world."
NCV: "I told you these things so that you can
have peace in me. In this world you will have
trouble, but be brave! I have defeated the world.
1 John 5:4
KJV: "... this is the victory that overcometh
the world, even our faith."
NCV: "...And this is the victory that conquers
the world--our faith."
Dorothy: What is in the world that we need to overcome with?
The note from Preacher's Outline says:
"The thing that man needs is victory over the world. Why? Because the world is full of: suffering, disease, accidents, corruption, hate, bitterness, immorality, destroyed families, wickedness, drugs, drunkenness, envy, murder, war, arguments, backbiters, pride, arrogance, hunger, homelessness, pain, hurt, selfishness, and greed. Then there is the most fatal blow of all: corruption and death. Without exception we are all corrupt and we all die. The one thing that man needs above all else is victory over the world with all its corruption and death. How then can he triumph and conquer the world? How can he overcome the world? By believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. When a person believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God gives him a new heart. He is "born of God"--spiritually born of God. IT IS HIS FAITH THAT OVERCOMES THE WORLD. It means that God gives the believer victory over all the trials and temptations of life."
I am trusting in the Lord,
I am standing on His Word,
Victory... Victory...
I have peace and joy within,
Since my life is free from sin,
Victory... Victory...
Chorus: Victory... yes, victory...
Hallelujah! I am free,
Jesus gives me victory,
glory, glo...ry, hallelujah!
He is all... in all to me...
John 16:33 - Jesus said:
KJV: "These things I have spoken unto you, that
in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall
have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have
overcome the world."
NCV: "I told you these things so that you can
have peace in me. In this world you will have
trouble, but be brave! I have defeated the world.
1 John 5:4
KJV: "... this is the victory that overcometh
the world, even our faith."
NCV: "...And this is the victory that conquers
the world--our faith."
Dorothy: What is in the world that we need to overcome with?

Faith in God - 6
Song: Keep On Believing
Keep on believing, God will answer prayer;
Keep on believing, never despair;
Tho' you be heavy laden and
burdened down with care,
Remember God still loves you
and He answers prayer.
Jesus Calms a Storm
Matthew 8:23-27 NCV
Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him. A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat, but Jesus was sleeping. He followers went to him and woke, saying, "Lord save us! We will drown!" Jesus answered, "Why are you afraid? You don't have enough faith." Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm. The men were amazed and said, "What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"
Key verse in Matthew 8:26.
Prophetic Message from the Lord:
NCV: ..."Why are you afraid? You don't have enough faith."
AMP: ..."Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith?"
KJV: ..."Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?"
Jesus said: "Have faith in Me. Have faith in God because 'without faith no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is real and that He rewards those who truly want to find Him.' [Heb.11:6]
Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank You for speaking to us that our faith is small. Enlarge our faith so that we may please You. We have sinned against You for having a little faith. Forgive our sins and cleansed us with the blood of Jesus. Set our spirits free to worship You in spirit and in truth. In Jesus' name. Amen!

Faith in God - 5
Song: Why Worry When You Can Pray.
Why worry when you can pray?
Trust Jesus, He'll be your stay;
Don't be a "doubting Thomas,"
Rest fully on His promise,
Why worry, worry, worry, worry,
when you can pray?
Don't Worry
Matthew 6:25-34 NCV
Prophetic Message from Jesus:
"So I tell you, don't worry about the food or drink you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes. Look at the birds in the air. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, but your heavenly father feeds them. And you know that you are worth much more than the birds. You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it. And why do you worry about clothes? Look at how the lilies in the field grow. They don't work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers. God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the fire. So you can even more sure that God will clothe you. Don't worry and say, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' The people who don't know God keep trying to get these things, and your Father in heaven knows you need them. The thing you should want most is God's kingdom and doing what God wants. Then all these other things you need will be given to you. So don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Dorothy: Jesus has spoken to us through His Word of encouragement, "Not to worry." We need deliverance from "worry", don't we? It seems natural for us to worry, but Jesus tells us that it isn't natural to worry. It belongs to the people who don't know God. Ouch! We are God's people and we are suppose to know that God takes care of us and we are not suppose to worry. Worry is the opposite of "Have faith in God." Jesus tells us to "Have faith in God." So let's not worry today.
Prayer: Jesus, thank You for checking on us, not to worry about things we need. Help us to go deep inside of us and take that worry out of us and give us peace. In Jesus' Name. Amen!
Why worry when you can pray?
Trust Jesus, He'll be your stay;
Don't be a "doubting Thomas,"

NCV: .. He told the synagogue leader, "Don't
be afraid; just believe."
AMP: .. Jesus said to the ruler of the
synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and

Jairus, one of the synagogue rulers came to Jesus. He
begged Jesus to come to his home and to lay His hand on
his dying daughter. Jesus went with him. Because of the
crowd following Jesus, the woman could only touch the hem
of Jesus' clothing, and Jesus felt the power went out of
Him. And the woman was healed. While he was talking to her,
Jesus had overheard Jairus' friends with a bad news, that
his daughter had died. His friends said to Jairus, that
there was no need to have Jesus come to his house to do
anything for his dead daughter. Jairus become depressed
and afraid, and the bad news hit him so hard. Do you
know what Jesus did? The Scripture said in NCV, "But
Jesus paid no attention to what they said. And in AMP,
... ignoring what they said..." He encouraged Jairus
to continue to believe, not to be alarmed with bad news,
have no fear and not to be afraid. Jairus took Jesus'
words and believe. Later on, his daughter was healed.
This Scripture is prophetic message from Jesus: "Do not
be afraid. Just believe. Only believe. Only keep on
believing. All things are possible to them that believe.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart. Trust the Holy
Spirit to do the work of miracle in your lives. Believe
in Me. Believe in God. You will sense My presence when
you believe. Let the healing of love flows inside of
you for God is love. Perfect love cast out fear."
Prayer: Oh Jesus, thank You for the words of encouragement
that we need today. Thank You for encouraging my friends
who may need to hear this from You. In Jesus' name. Amen!

Faith in God - 3
Song:
Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe!
Savior raise my faith in Thee,
Till' it can move a mountain,
Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe!
All my doubts are buried in the fountain.
The Father Believes for His Sick Son.
Reading time: Mark 9:14-29
Mark 9:23-24
KJV: Jesus unto him, [father] "If thou canst
believe, all things are possible to him that
believeth. And straightway the father of the
child cried out, and said with tears, Lord,
I believe; help thou mine unbelief."
NCV: Jesus said to the father, "You said, 'If
you can!' All things are possible for the one
who believes." Immediately the father cried
out, "I do believe! Help me to believe more!"
AMP: And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You
can do anything? [Why,] all things can be--
are possible-- to him who believes! At once
the father of the boy gave (an eager, piercing,
inarticulate) cry with tears, and he said, Lord,
I believe! Constantly help my weakness of faith!
Dear Heavenly Father, I confess that sometimes we look
at ourselves that we don't have enough faith for our
needs. Like the story of the father who said to Jesus,
"If you can do anything for him, please have pity on us
and help us." Jesus said, "All things are possible for
the one who believes." Like the prayer of the father:
"I do believe! Help me to believe more." And Let all my
doubts buried in the fountain and be free to believe in
You. Thank You Lord, for the Word of deliverance.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe!
Savior raise my faith in Thee,

"I believe, I believe God."
Have Faith in God
Mark 11:20-22 NCV: The next morning as Jesus was passing
by with his followers, they saw the fig tree dry and dead,
even to the roots. Peter remembered the tree and said to
Jesus, "Teacher, look! The fig tree you cursed is dry and
dead!" Jesus answered, "HAVE FAITH IN GOD."
Peter remembered the tree:
Mark 11:12-14 NCV: The next day as Jesus was leaving Bethany,
he became hungry. Seeing a fig tree in leaf from far away, he
went to see if it had any figs on it. But he found no figs,
only leaves, because it was not the right season for figs. So
Jesus said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you
again." And Jesus' followers heard him say this.
Prophetic Message from the Lord:
In Proverbs 3:5-8 "Trust the LORD with all your heart, and

you. Jesus said, "Have faith in God." I believe my bones will be

stripes that Jesus bore." I breathe the name of Jesus,.. Jesus,..

Tho' the mountain be removed
and cast into the sea.
God's Word will live forever
Through all eternity.
Prophetic message from the Lord:
Keep quoting the promise verse to remind you
that My word will not fell through. Quoting
My word activated the Spirit to move within
you, to promote you, and to uplift you. Use
the Word that I have promised. Let it grow
in you through the Spirit says the Lord of
hosts. Amen and Amen!

He Is My Everything
Song: He is my everything, He is my all.
He is my everything, great or small.
He gave Himself for me, made everything anew.
He is my everything, Friends how about you?
Psalm 23:1-6 NCV
The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in green pastures. He leads me to
calm water. He gives me new strength. He leads me
on paths that are right for the good of his name.
Even If I walk through a very dark valley, I will
not be afraid, because you are with me. Your rod
and your walking stick they comfort me.
You prepare a meal for me in front of my enemies. You
pour oil on my head; you fill my cup to overflowing.
Surely your goodness and love will be with me, and
I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:1-6 AMP
The Lord is my shepherd [to feed, guide and shield me];
I shall not lack. He makes me lie down in (fresh, tender)
green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful
waters. [Rev.7:17.] He refreshes and restores my life--
my self; He leads me in the paths of righteous [uprightness
and right standing with Him--not for my earning it, but]
for His name's sake. Yes, though I walk through the [deep,
sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread
no evil; for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your
staff [to guide], they comfort me. You prepare a table before
me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil;
my [brimming] cup runs over. Surely or only goodness, mercy
and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life;
and through the length of days the house of the Lord [and his
presence] shall be my dwelling place.
Dear Heavenly Father, I am asking You to guide my friend
who are going through a very dark time. I pray that You
will guide them, touch them, heal them, comfort them, and
hold them close to Your very heart. I know You love them very
much. May Your presence become very real to them because You
are their Shepherd and You tenderly watched over them. The
blood of Jesus washed us and healed us in Jesus' name. Amen!

The Healing Waters
Song: The Healing Waters
Where the heal...ing waters flow,...
Where the joys... celestial glow,...
Oh, there's peace... and rest and love...
Where the heal...ing waters flow!
Pray for your healing and do not worry.
Philippians 4:6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by
prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God.
Your healing comes from God's mercy.
Titus 3:5
NKJV: Not by works of righteousness which we have
done, but according to His mercy He saved us,
through the washing of regeneration and renewing
of the Holy Spirit.
NCV: He saved us because of His mercy. It was not
because of good deeds we did to be right with Him.
He saved us through the washing that made us new
people through the Holy Spirit.
Dorothy: The verse of Titus 3:5 makes me think of
a song: Great is Thy Faithfulness on one phrase,
"Morning by morning new mercies I see." He saved
us because of His mercy. He healed us because of
His mercy. He delivered us because of His mercy.
His mercy endureth forever.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I am asking you to
help us get into the Healing flows through the
power of Holy Spirit. May the anointing of the
Holy Spirit flows through our suffering bodies,
the area where we hurt the most and be completely
healed because of Your mercy and Calvary covers
it all. I pray for my friends, and I put my trust
in You to heal them. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Where the heal...ing waters flow,...
Where the joys... celestial glow,...
Oh, there's peace... and rest and love...

Jesus Will Lead Me
Song & Chorus: I Remember Calvary
Jesus shall lead me night and day,
Jesus shall lead me all the way,
He is the truest Friend to me,
For I remember Calvary.
1. Where He may lead me I will go,
For I have learned to trust Him so,
And I remember 'twas for me,
That He was slain on Calvary.
[Chorus]
2. O I delight in His command,
Love to be led by His dear hand;
His divine will is sweet to me,
Hallowed by blood-stained Calvary.
[Chorus]
3. Onward I go, nor doubt, nor fear,
Onward with Christ my Savior near,
Trust that I someday shall see
Jesus my Friend of Calvary.
[Chorus]
Revelation 7:17
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall
feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of
waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Romans 2:4
... the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance...
Dorothy:
Tony and I tried to memorize the new song, Jesus Shall
lead me. Why? Because we are in a quiet time and we are
not used to it. We sometimes "feel lost" so when we sang
this song, we remind ourselves that Jesus is leading. Do
you ever feel helpless and lost? Try this song and pray
for others who might feel the same way.
Jesus shall lead me night and day,
Jesus shall lead me all the way,

Jesus Walks
Chorus: Jesus Will Walk With Me
Jesus will walk with me; He will talk with me;
He will walk with me; In joy or in sorrow,
Today or tomorrow, I know He will walk with me.
1. Jesus will walk with me down thro' the valley;
Jesus will walk with me over the plain;
When in the shadow or when in the sunshine,
If he goes with me, I shall not complain.
2. Jesus will walk with me when I am tempted,
Giving me strength as my need may demand;
When in affliction His presence is near me,
I am upheld by His almighty hand.
Jesus Walked [All verses are KJV]
Matt. 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of
Galilee, Andrew his brother, casting net into
the sea: for they were fishers.
Matt. 14:24-27
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea,
tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went
unto them, walking on the sea. And when the
disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried
out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them,
saying, Be of good cheer, it is I; be not afraid.
John 6:19 ... they see Jesus walking on the sea...

so walk ye in him: rooted and built up in Him, and
stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught,
abounding therein with thanksgiving.
1 Thess. 4:1 - We exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that ye
have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please
God, so ye would abound more and more. For ye know what
commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
What is one of the commandments that Paul said he gave
us by the Lord Jesus? John 15:17 quoted, "These things
I command you, that ye love one another."
Jesus will walk with me; He will talk with me;
He will walk with me; In joy or in sorrow,
Today or tomorrow, I know He will walk with me.

When in the shadow or when in the sunshine,
