S180: QUIET
What does it mean to be QUIET? What does the World say? - Lash out! - Accuse! - Ridicule! - Gossip What does Jesus say? "Some people will vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back." Proverbs 29:11 THOUGHT 180: "It is the Glory of God to hide a mistake!" Proverbs 25:2 Friends, The Lord always wants us to take the high road. When I get caught up in the daily "Rat Race" I get anxious and want things done RIGHT NOW! What happens when someone wrongs us? Some people want Revenge. Some people escape to Drugs. Some people escape to sleeping ! All of these situations have the same underlying cause, and the end result is SEPARATION from the people we love. What is the Underlying Cause to all of these escapes? When Adam heard Christ walking in the Garden the Bible tells us that Adam was Afraid and hid from God. Fear turned to Anxiety and Anxiety turn into blaming God and others for his mistake. "it is this woman you gave me that caused all of this!" Friends, the Bible tells us over and over that we were born imperfect. "All have sinned (DNA. Genetic Character Defects) and have come up short to the Glory of God!" A couple chapters later Paul tells us that there was sin or DNA Genetic Defects in him known as the flesh that was causing him to feel Wretched with no Hope! He said, it is not me that does these things but sin or DNA Genetic Defects within me that does it! Wow! Paul said that? I can actually separate me from the sin within me? Yes. Paul even tells us that our battle isn't in the Flesh but is in the Spiritual realm. The Flesh is the Mechanism Of Action that Satan uses as a Slave Driver to pull us away from the Lord. The Word of God says, "there is therefore no condemnation to those in Christ!" Romans 8:1 So the real you is the Spirit within you. Your Spirit communicates with God's Spirit to overcome all of the desires of your DNA Genetic Character Defects! John Hopkins Department of Medicine has numerous studies that show Anxiety comes from a lack of serotonin and dopamine imbalances in our brain. The more balanced our brain is the more relaxed we are when situations arise. This is just one of the DNA Genetic Character Defects that some of us were born with. This Chemical imbalance is no different than having poor vision. Does God hold us accountable for having poor vision? No way! In fact Jesus was asked why a certain person was born blind? They asked Jesus who's fault it was that God would punish this young person with blindness. Jesus said it was no ones fault! Jesus said this person was blind so everyone would see Him turn a problem into an opportunity and heal the young person! It is what it is: - Accept it - Take responsibility - Just Go Now! Jesus died and rose again to show us that we can overcome all of our Character Defects. "The life in the flesh is in the blood!" Lev 17:11 So Jesus came in the Flesh to give us a New Life in the Spirit! This is why Paul could make such a bold statement! This makes it possible to separate the real me which is my new birth in the Spirit with no DNA Genetic Character Defects from the Flesh which has all the above! "So "Chill Out and be Quiet and know that I am God!" Psalm 46:10 The Lord has it all covered my Friends! SO JUST GO! RP

Could it be the same thing that caused Adam lash out at God and say, "it is the woman you gave me that caused this!" Then Eve got Anxious and said, "it is the serpent that made me do it!" Did Anxiety start all this in the first place? The Word of God says, "Chill Out and know that I am God!"

Hi everyone! Here is something I recently posted: Q180:
ANXIETY 180 What is ANXIETY? - Panic Attracts - Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older (18% of U.S. population). - A Chemical Imbalance that is brought on by: - Not knowing the Future! - Speculation about the Future with: What if this and that Happen? - Mind Games resulting in our minds becoming a Hamster Wheel Spinning out of control! - Chemical imbalances of serotonin are a problem and so are neurotransmitters that literally alter our thoughts and emotions. - ANXIETY and FEAR are a BIG DEAL in the Bible! Why does The Lord devote over 75% of Scripture to ANXIETY? - When man chose to take and eat from forbidden tree something happened Immediately to Adam and Eve. As you watch the scene roll out Adam Experiences Anxiety for the first time. Was the Anxiety already deep in their DNA or did the act of disobedience cause a Chemical Reaction of their Sarotonin levels that would never come fully be healed?
How does the false god of this World deal with ANXIETY? - He takes Advantage of the person with Anxiety! - He tells us to Sleep to Escape the Cravings and the Slave Driver! - Excuses and more Excuses to side step the issues! - Join the Rebellion of The Next Generation with Hate, Bitterness and Strife!
How does our Flesh use as ANXIETY? - Pills - Opioids etc How does Jesus deal with ANXIETY? "Don't be ANXIOUS but in every SITUATION: PRAY PETITION BE THANKFUL TELL HIM ISSUES GIVE HIM YOUR REQUESTS! Think on these things: NOBLE PRAISE GOOD REPORT TRUE Phil 4:6-8 JUST DON'T GO THERE 180 WHAT IFS, PROBABLY, MAYBE, SORT OF etc.... DEFINITIVE 180 Be either Yes or No minded! Be Clear! Be Direct but Calm! Is everything you think about 100% True or is it filled with Speculation and Rumors? "THE WHAT IFS" Nehemiah never bought into the "WHAT IFS" when Rebuilding the City walls of Jerusalem! 2 leaders of the opposition kept making up Rumors about Nehemiah.

RP It's Not Over Till Kate Smith Sings......"God Bless America"Friends, Here is a GREAT Reminder of who We were and can be again! Future President Ronald Reagan is in this video as an Actor during WWII. Be sure to Listen to the first part. This part gets left out most of the time. AMERICA BLESS GOD! RP This was sent My Dad who is a Veteran of the United States Navy A Little Patriotic History Frank Sinatra considered Kate Smith the best singer of her time, and said that when he and a million other guys first heard her sing "God Bless America" on the radio, they all pretended to have dust in their eyes as they wiped away a tear or two.
Here are the facts...
The link at the bottom will take you to a video showing the very first public singing of "GOD BLESS AMERICA ".
Before you watch it, the story behind the song:
The time was 1940. America was in a terrible economic depression. Hitler was taking over Europe and Americans were afraid we'd have to go to war.
It was a time of hardship and worry for Americans. This was just before TV, radio shows were HUGE, and families sat around their radios in the evenings, listening to their favorite entertainers, and no entertainer was bigger than Kate Smith.
Kate was also large; plus size, as we now say, and the popular phrase still used today is in deference to her, "It ain't over till the fat lady sings ". Kate Smith might not have made it big in the age of TV, but with her voice coming over the radio, she was the biggest star of her time.
Kate was also patriotic. It hurt her to see Americans so depressed and afraid of what the next day would bring. She had hope for America, and faith in her fellow Americans. She wanted to do something to cheer them up, so she went to song-writer, Irving Berlin (who also wrote "White Christmas") and asked him to write a song that would make Americans feel good about their country. When she described what she was looking for, he had just the song for her.
He went to his files and found a song that he had written, but never published, 22 years before back in 1917.
He gave it to her and she worked on it with her studio orchestra. She and Irving Berlin were not sure how the song would be received, but both agreed they would not take profits. Any profits would go to the Boy Scouts of America. Over the years, the Boy Scouts have received millions of dollars in royalties from this song.
This video starts out with Kate Smith coming into the radio studio with the orchestra and an audience. She introduces the new song for the very first time, and starts singing. After the first couple verses, with her voice in the background still singing, scenes are shown from the 1940 movie, "You're In The Army Now."
At the 4:20 mark of the video you see a young actor in the movie, sitting in an office, reading a paper; it's Ronald Reagan .
To this day, God Bless America stirs our patriotic feelings and pride in our country. Back in 1940, when Kate Smith went looking for a song to raise the spirits of her fellow Americans,
I doubt she realized how successful the results would be for Americans during those years of hardship and worry..... and for many generations to follow.
Now that you know the story, I hope you'll enjoy it and treasure it even more.
Many people don't know there's a lead in to the song since it usually starts with "God Bless America ..... "So here's the entire song as originally sung." Rick Ponder 619-884-2892 Monday, February 3, 2014Q180: IMITATE "....imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." What is IMITATE? What does the World say? - Greed "For EVERYTHING IN the World--the lust of the: FLESH - BODY Comes not from the Father but from the World - Lucifer - Satan!" What does Jesus say about IMITATING? "Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Mathew 11:29 180 WORSHIP: Press this Worship Link: Whom Shall I Fear? 180 THOUGHT: Friends, Jesus points out very important contrast for us to respond to. A Yoke is a harness that drives and steers the Ox when plowing the field. The Yoke of the World is the Expectation to "keep up with the Hollywood / Madison Ave. crowd. Jesus says, IMITATE Me and Learn of My ways. I created you in My Image now learn how to Relax and Coast through the day by letting My Yoke steer you. - Gentle ETERNITY JUST STARTED! JUST GO 180! RP
Saturday, February 1, 2014Q180: HIS WORD "He sent His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." Psalm 107:20 What is HIS WORD? Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path." Psalm 119:105 - Heals - Washes Away the Past - Delivers from our destruction! - Lamp for feet - Light for path - Word that never fails What does everyone else say? - WHO CARES WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS! JUST GO! What does Jesus Say? "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will never pass away." Luke 21:33 180 THOUGHT: When did you Realize the Awesome Power HIS WORD had in your life? When you walk with Jesus everyday and anticipate that something great is about to happen..... It does! I anticipate something great and experience something Incredible everyday! WORSHIP 180 : http://youtu.be/HPBmFwBSGb0 KEY POINT 180: (The above is True only when it is about Others First) Does great mean no issues? No. But it is the anticipation of great things that allow you to see God even in times of Trouble. Psalm 119 says He delivers us from ourselves. PERSPECTIVE 180: Show me any other god that would do that? There isn't one! All the other gods are based on merits and rewards which pin people against each other. Jesus is about Grace, Forgiveness and Mercy! Why would we want to look for any other Word but HIS WORD? MORNING 180 - Focus on HIS WORD - Accept The Situation - Take Responsibility - Take Action Now! - Anticipate His Word in everything you do. HIS WORD JUST GO! WIN TODAY Rick |
