Prime Minister, Julia Gillard - Australia

WOW!   She Did It Again!!!

Australia says NO -- SecondTime she has done this!

She sure isn't backing down on her hard   line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her   native countrymen. A breath of fresh air to see someone   lead.

Australian Prime Minister does it again!! The whole   world needs a leader like this!

Prime Minister, Julia   Gillard - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia   Law, were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government   targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror   attacks.

Separately, Gillard angered some Australian   Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the   nation's mosques.
Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT... Take   It Or Leave It.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are   offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on   Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of   Australians.'

'This culture has been developed over two   centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women   who have sought freedom.' We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese,   Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language; therefore, if   you wish to become part of our society, learn the   language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not   some Christian, right-wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian   men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why; all we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment  with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR   LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But   once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our   Pledge, Our Christian Beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you   take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO   LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't   force you to come here.
You asked to be here...so accept the country YOU   accepted.'

NOTE: IF we circulate this amongst   ourselves, in Canada & the USA , WE
will find the courage to start   speaking and voicing the same truths.

If you agree please   SEND THIS ON and ON, to as many people as you   know!!

Love your enemies!

 By Ruth Ferraz

⁴³ "You have heard that it was said,
Love your friends, hate your enemies.⁴⁴ But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,⁴⁵ so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil.⁴⁶ Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that!⁴⁷ And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that!⁴⁸ You must be perfect—just as your Father in heaven is perfect."(Matt. 5.42-48)

What does "12 Tribes of Israel?

By Andre Sanchez - Translated by Ruth Ferraz

Throughout the Bible we can see much talk about the 12 tribes of Israel.  But who are these tribes? Where do they come from? What they represent in the Bible?


 The origin of the 12 tribes of Israel is described in Genesis 29, 30 and 35. 16-22. 16-22. Here we describe the births of 12 children of Jacob, who also bore the name of Israel. These were twelve children: Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asser, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin.
But these 12 names does not correspond exactly to the 12 tribes of Israel. [...]

The New School Prayer

Now I sit me down in school,

Where praying is against the rule.

For this great nation under God,

Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,

It violates the Bill of Rights.

And anytime my head I bow,

Becomes a federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,

That's no offense, it's the freedom scene.

The law is specific, the law is precise,

Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall,

Might offend someone with no faith at all.

In silence alone we must meditate,

God's name is prohibited by the State.

We're allowed to cuss & dress like freaks,

And pierce our noses, tongues & cheeks.

They've outlawed guns; but FIRST the Bible,

To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,

And the unwed daddy, our Senior King.

It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,

We're taught such "judgments" do not belong.

We can get our condoms, & birth controls,

Study witchcraft, vampires & totem poles.

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,

No Word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,

When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I make:

Should I be shot, my soul please take.

Five steps to victory in Christ

 

 "For truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Arise and cast into the sea, and no doubt in his heart but believes that it will do what it says, everything you say will be done." (Mark 11:23)

1 o. Step) Have faith in God - And Jesus answering said, "Have faith in God" (Mark 11:22). Our faith must be in God alone, as many believe in him and also in other things, some in his church, other the preacher, the Virgin Mary, in special places, etc..  Those who act this way, and did not hear the Lord is doing exactly what the Bible condemns.

2o.Step) Talking on the hill. Whoever says to this mountain (Mark 11:23). We need to talk to the mountain, to the problem, the misery and pain that the disease moved from our lives, faith does not actually remove, which removes is our word.

3rd.Step) Do not doubt in his heart (Mark 11:23). This point is practically the key to everything. You can have 'faith in God, speak to the issue that comes out of your life and expect that to happen. However, if in your heart of hearts, doubts, forget about it: the work will not take place. We fight the doubt, doing as King David in Psalm 119:11 "With all my heart I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Hidden your word in my heart, I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord and teach me thy statutes. " (Salmos 119:10-12) (Psalm 119:10-12)

4o.Step) will believe that what is said. (Mark 11:23) This is the natural consequence of the third step: if we do not doubt. We believe, and who believe it expresses. You have to believe that it will do what we say. We can say that believing is fighting against the evidence, believe that what is already being done to determine. 

 5th.Step) Anything you say will be done (Mark 11:23). This step is not ours', is the Lord.

When we did everything we learned in the first four steps, then we have q work done. 

  By whom? It certainly will be by divine power.

In the position of God's children is highly privileged. Nós fazemos a diferença. We make a difference. The blessing we need not depend only on the Lord, but also us.It's different, is not it? Well, our responsibility increases in proportion as we know the truth. That I really want to win there to make their decisions on what the Word reveals, it is the very Word that will bring the release that he wants: "You shall know the Truth and Truth you free "(John 8:32).

Love

1 Corinthians 13 - LOVE

By Ruth Ferraz

¹ "I may be able to speak the languages of human beings and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell.² I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have all the faith needed to move mountains—but if I have no love, I am nothing.³ I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned —but if I have no love, this does me no good.

⁴ Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud;⁵ love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs;⁶ love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.⁷ Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.
⁸ Love is eternal. There are inspired messages, but they are temporary; there are gifts of speaking in strange tongues, but they will cease; there is knowledge, but it will pass.⁹ For our gifts of knowledge and of inspired messages are only partial;¹⁰ but when what is perfect comes, then what is partial will disappear.

¹¹ When I was a child, my speech, feelings, and thinking were all those of a child; now that I am an adult, I have no more use for childish ways.¹² What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror; then we shall see face-to-face. What I know now is only partial; then it will be complete—as complete as God's knowledge of me.

¹³ Meanwhile these three remain: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love". (1 Cor. 13)


It is not easy to live the real love! To be kind without;  jealous, conceited, proud, selfish, irritable; forgetting everything wrong,  it is really not easy, only with Jesus's grace we can win this challenger and destroy the human nature which is so evil.

Never give up! Jesus is with us always!

Only the love is eternal, the others stuff will pass and we will see Him face-to-face, because we love Him with all our mind, heart and soul. Thank you Jesus for every drop of blood on the cross!

Touch and Be Healed

By Ruth Ferraz

"And a woman who, twelve years, had a blood flow,
  And she had suffered so much from many doctors and had spent all money, nothing was enjoying it, but rather grew worse;
Hearing of Jesus, came behind, the crowd and touched his garment.
For she said, If I may touch his clothes, and will be healed.
And immediately it dried up the fountain of her blood, and she felt in her body that she was cured of that evil.
And Jesus, immediately knowing that virtue had gone out of himself, he turned to the crowd and said, Who touched my clothes?
