Colossians 4:12, 13a
NIV: “Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. I vouch for him that he is working hard for you …” NCV: “Epaphras, a servant of Jesus Christ, from your group, also greets you. He always prays for you that you will grow to be spiritually mature and have everything God wants for you. I know he has worked hard for you …”
I like the KJV quote: “Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in the will of God. For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you…”
“Labouring fervently (Greek, agonize, from which we derive the English word “agonize”) denotes an intense desire, an agonizing, a wrestling, or striving in prayer. Faithful N.T. believers not only continued steadfast in prayer (v.2), but agonized with strong pleading in their prayers. The needs of our families, churches, and the world are no less significant today. We ought to pray fervently, knowing that in our struggles Christ’s power is working mightily in us (1:29). Note: The FULL LIFE Study Bible, D. Stamps.
“Laboring fervently” is the translation of a Greek word from which we get our word AGONY. It was used of wrestlers who in the Greek gymnastic games strained to overcome an opponent. The Merriam-Webster dictionary state: the word, agony means intense pain of mind and body 2: a strong sudden display of emotion: outburst (an agony of delight). WORD HISTORY In ancient Greece a public gathering was called agon. Since the Greeks placed a high value on sports and athletic competition, there were almost always athletic events at gatherings on festival days. The STRUGGLE to win the prize in such contests came to be called ‘agonia.’ This term came also to be used for any difficult physical struggle and then for the PAIN that went with it, physical or mental. Our English word agony, meaning “INTENSE PAIN OF MIND OR BODY,” thus comes from a word that originally meant a happy celebration. Etymology: Middle English agonie “agony,” from Latin agonia (same meaning), from Greek agonia “struggle,” from agon “gathering contest for a prize.”
This is a “cure” for the “lukewarm Christian” who needs to get into wrestling spirit of prayers. I am going through this sense of “lukewarm spirit” or “lazy spirit” atmosphere and I don’t like it. My friend is struggling. She cries a lot and is in a great pain. I didn’t understand why God hasn’t healed her until I read this verse “laboring fervently.” Then I understood that her intercessory prayer was like wrestling in prayer, striving in prayer, agony in prayers, cry a lot in prayers and speaking in tongues prayers for all the Deaf saints. Her agony prayers, “Lord, don’t let the Deaf go to hell without You, Jesus!” That is a true spirit of ‘a Greek wrestler.’ Be of good comfort! If you are going through the similar experience, just know that God is working mightily in you, needing this wrestling prayer’s breakthrough for all of us.
So trust God today.

Fear Not, To Take Mary, Thy Wife
Matthew 1:20b-21 “Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying Joseph, thou son of David, FEAR NOT TO TAKE UNTO THEE MARY THY WIFE: for which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
Story of Joseph from Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 2:1-7
After Mary came home from visiting Elizabeth, Joseph learned about her pregnancy. Mary was engaged to marry Joseph, but he felt he had to divorce her secretly. Joseph was a good man and he did not want to disgrace her in public. There was a law that if a woman is caught having a child before marriage; by law the public has the right to stone a woman to death. This troubled Joseph greatly. He had fear in his heart. He didn’t know what to do. Joseph went to sleep and an angel came to him in a dream. The angel said, “Joseph, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because the baby in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” An angel went on to explain about the fulfillment from the prophet who spoke about the virgin shall bring forth a son. The Lord’s angel wants Joseph to realize who this child was. It must have surprise Joseph that it was the Holy Spirit that came upon Mary to have a child be called, Immanuel, which means “God is with us.”
The Lord’s angel helped Joseph to know about the prophecy and help him to remove his “fear.” When Joseph woke up, he did what the Lord’s angel had told him to do. Joseph took Mary as his wife. Joseph did not have sexual relations with Mary until she gave birth to the son. And Joseph named him Jesus. God wanted Jesus to have a family to grow up with. Joseph and Mary had more children so Jesus had brothers and sisters [Matthew 12:46-47; Mark 3:31-32; Luke 8:19,20].
Story about the angels and the shepherds from Luke 2:8-20
Luke 2:20 “And the angel said unto them, FEAR NOT, for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”
Dorothy: Have you noticed that God encouraged people from time to time, “Fear not”? Why is that? I watched a program, TBN and Rev. Hagee was preaching about the “Wild Horse of Fear”. He talked a lot about what fear can do. God had begin ‘Fear not’ with Abraham, and all through with Isaac, Moses, David, Daniel, Zachariah, Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, disciples, and Peter from Genesis to Revelation. There are many "Fear Not." Fear can paralyze us and not be able to do anything. God does not want to paralyze us so He comforts us not to be afraid. What was the reason we all would fear? Fear of new things and we get scared of new plan that we might not know about. God often does that and God knows it is important to tell us, “Fear not.” He is with us. He will hold us up. He will take care of us. Praise the Lord.

Oh Yes! You Have a Purpose!
The guest is Karen Batts of Illinois sharing her personal testimony.
I was just at Camp Manitoumi in a very tiny town. That old saying, "If you blink your eyes, you missed the town!" That how small this tiny town was, but had a wonderful camp site. A Good size of Deaf came to this retreat, I saw many of my old friends who had 'wealth' with knowledge of God and have such deep love for God. They were a group of them.
A verse came to me while I was there. I was hit with sickness and tiredness that I had to laid down. I had to rest for a bit then I would come out later and chat with many of my old friends. They left and later I woke up. Then I completely understood. With our old body hit with arthritic and our body easily tired out and still this same verse urges me to remember!
In Revelation 1: 9 b "I, John, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."
Imagine the despair John might have wrestled with. Patmos was an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people, unfamiliar food, and unfamiliar accommodations. (Just like we old folks, in this camp, with odd tasting food and water, with ground bit rough to walk on, and a distant to get to one place to another. With some people whom you might not have seen before or have forgotten who they are. Feeling out of place, not belonging in this camp group or ground.)
So John might have been feeling this, "is this the end?" "Can God still use me?" and so on. Oh Wait! Even on Patmos, in the midst of being isolated, alone, and aging, John found purpose and meaning. There!!!!! God gave John the REVELATION! All John had to do was to open up his heart, listen, and write. Satan did everything to 'shut up' John and thought it was a brilliant ideal to throw John in this island of Patmos! HA HA HA Satan could not shut John mouth or his hands! All John did was "Saw, Listen, Wrote it down" the most valuable book in all our books in the Bible. It gives us victoriously means what is to be expected in our last days. And it gets us outfitted and groomed for an eternity of life. Also it gives us to take courage of our "boiling oil of today's tribulation" can be "the anointing oil for tomorrow's triumph!"
So! Old Folks! Take COURAGE! Speak! Sign out your wisdom! Whatever your Patmos, instead of fighting it, EMBRACE it. In life's worst, there is still worth! In the midst of life's desolation's, GOD still sends His REVELATIONS.
Take COURAGE!

Guest 2 Timothy 1:7
The guest is Karen Batts from Illinois sharing her comments from 9/6 Bread Box devotion. "Receiving your Bread Box today (9/6/11) I am stirred to add comments."
II Timothy 1:7
When Paul wrote this letter to Timothy... Paul's situation had changed drastically! He is now in prisoner in Rome and was facing certain death. This was very dark times and hour for Paul.
Yet Paul had great concern about his brother in the Lord... Timothy! Not on himself! Paul wanted and prayed for success of the Gospel ministry to be encouraged... knowing that Timothy is timid, suffered from physical ailments and was tempted to let other people take advantage of him and not assert his authority as a pastor.
In verse 6 Paul reminded Timothy that he had imparted to Timothy the spiritual gift that he will need in his ministry. The Laying on of Hands was a common practice in Paul's days... Verse 7 that God in no way gave us anything to fear about! We have the Spirit of Power, to Love and to Have Self Discipline.
Today! The Holy Spirit and laying of hands has a powerful effect! And it is a gift of God to us and Paul reminded us in the Holy Spirit, we gain talent, training, experience and power! God personally tells us that we have the Spirit of Power, to Love and the Power to Have Self -discipline. What a wonderful power tools coming from God!
What encourage me is that Timothy didn't need to add any more lesson to his learning from Paul...He was already ordained by the elders and received an enabling gift from God when the elders laid hands on him. He only need to STIR UP what he already had inside his life and spirit. This was learned in I Timothy 4:14 which said "Neglect not the gift that is in thee." He needed just to stir it up! Paul was confident of the genuineness of Timothy's faith. The Spirit within him would give all the power needed for the ministry. He could not ask for any more!
Today, Stir up the gift that God has given to you... Be a blessing to your elders leaders and show that God is still doing mighty things that we are still learning/seeing each time we are together. Show the Spirit of Power, to Love, and Power to Have Self-Discipline being cultivated in our Deaf World today. Use them! And Develop them in the ministry wherever God puts us in.
Be Stir up! Be in Power! Be in Love! And finally Be in Self-Control. Go for it!

The Spirit of Fear 2 Tim. 1:7
2 Timothy 1:7
KJV: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
NAS: For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. AMP: For God did not give us a spirit of timidity—of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear—but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.
NCV: God did not give us a spirit that makes us afraid but a spirit of power and love and self-control.
Dorothy: If God did not give us a bad and fearful spirit then who did? Satan! Satan tried to shoot his arrows of many kind of bad fears. God wants us to know that He does not try to put bad fears in us. Hebrews 13:5b-6a in NCV: God has said, “I will never leave you; I will never forget you.” So we can be sure when we say, “I will not be afraid, because the Lord is my helper.”
What does this means to me?
Love is a powerful thing. If I am fearful, I will remember that love is missing. So I would quote: God does not give me spirit of fear. He gave me power to overcome my bad fears. He gave me love through the power of Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit helps me to have self-control. I pray for my friends too. Amen. May you be blessing today.
Poem: The Spirit of the Lord
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because He hath anointed me to sing.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because He has anointed me to bring.
The gospel to all, great or small.
To open prison’s door, and that what’s for.
To set the captive free, and the blind to see.
The lame to walk, and the dumb to talk.
To heal the brokenhearted, and to lift up dishearten.
To set at liberty and that is for me.
Once I was bruised, but now I am used,
By the Spirit of the Lord…
By the Spirit of the Lord…
By the Spirit of the Lord…

Come Unto Me
Song: Come unto Me
1. Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed,
“O ye heavy laden, come to Me and rest;
Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear;
Bring Me every burden, bring Me every care.”
Chorus:
Come unto Me; I will give you rest;
Take my yoke upon you, Hear Me and be blest;
I am meek and lowly, Come and trust My might;
Come, My yoke is easy, And My burden’s light.
2. Are you disappointed, wandering here and there,
dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care?
Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast?
Bring your case to Jesus, He will give you rest.
(Charles P. Jones)
Matthew 11:28,29,30 Jesus said,
KJV: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my
yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek
and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your
soul. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
NCV: “Come to me, all of you who are tired and
have heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Accept
my teachings and learn from me, because I am
gentle and humble in spirit, and you will find rest
for your lives. The teaching that I ask you to accept
is easy; the load I give you to carry is light.”
AMP: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-
laden and over burdened, and I will cause you to rest—
I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls. Take My
yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am gentle (meek)
and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest—
relief, ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed
quiet—for your souls. (Jer.6:16) For My yoke is
wholesome (useful, good) not harsh, hard, sharp or
pressing, but comfortable, gracious and pleasant; and
My burden is light and easy to be borne.”
1. Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed,

Come, My yoke is easy, And My burden’s light.

Greatest, How?
Matthew 23:11
KJV: But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
NCV: Whoever is your servant is the greatest among you.
Mark 10:42-45
NCV: Jesus called them together and said, "The non-Jewish people have rulers. You know that those rulers love to show their power over the people, and their important leaders love to use all their authority. But it should not be that way among you. Whoever wants to become great among you must serve the rest of you like a servant. Whoever wants to become the first among you must serve all of you like a slave. In the same way, the Son of Man did not come to be served. He came to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many people."
Serve means to help; be useful; be what is needed. What Jesus was saying to His disciples about how to a become servant was to be useful and helpful to others. Jesus was useful and helpful to others through God's Word, through healing touch and other things. Like the song interpret: If you want to be a great person, then learn how to become useful to others. God would open up a river that flows from inside of you because you already start giving yourself to others. This is what God's kingdom is all about, serving others.
God bless you today!
Dorothy
Song: If You (Want to) Be Great.
If you would be great in God's Kingdom,
then learn to be servant of all,
If you would be great in God's kingdom,
then learn to be servant of all.
Learn to be servant of all;
Learn to be servant of all.
I'll open up a river
when thou art a giver
and learn to be servant of all.
