As I was traveling home from seeing my children I felt such a strong need to pull over and write down the words God seemed to be giving me. They came out in the form of a poem. I hope it brings comfort to the grieving, a light to the lost, and a call to wayward soul. Thank you for allowing me to share this. Please feel free to share it with others. Debra

A QUESTION RAISED,  AN ANSWER GIVEN

I woke this morning to the sun's warm rays Thinking about all the projects that fill my days

Not knowing that on my country's eastern shore For many Americans life was no more

Then the news flooded over me from my TV screen The details coming to me in scene after scene

Of men and women running in terror Soot and ash covering their faces and hair

My mind could not comprehend this devastating sight As black smoke turned the day to night

Oh, dear God was all I could say As tears gathered and I cried in dismay

How could something like this happen in this land of the free Who would do this to you and to me?

Many searching for loved ones and answers, as well Find themselves at ground zero, a living hell

And as days begin to pass and hopeful hearts wean I watch this country turn to God once again

With faces etched in grief and despair They look to heaven and ask, "God, are you there? God, do you care?"

And with hearts broken, we ask Him why Why did so many innocent have to die?

Then He spoke these words of compassion and love To listening hearts from His throne above

My children please know, that I grieve with you For each one of those lost was my child, too

For I gave them life, I gave them breath But the Destroyer came and he gave them death

He found a handful of men and like a thief in the night He turned them away from my heavenly light

Then with venomous spirits and hearts hardened with hate Satan sent his terrorists to America's gate

The destruction that came was not by my hand for you are my people and this is my land

You ask how this happened, how this could be My child, you've turned your back on me

For history has shown from times long ago You're going to reap the things that you sow

You've left me behind on a shelf in your heart Of your everyday life you didn't make me a part

I've never left you, though you've pushed me away Called me old fashion, not right for today

You only turn to me in times of need and pain, Of trouble, or sadness, or for your own gain

Though your love for me is weak, mine remains strong For I love you no matter the sin or the wrong

I gave you commandments, rules to live by Look them up in my Word, give them a try

Chose right over wrong, and love over hate Start doing it now, before it's to late

Put your trust back in me, to do what is right And I'll lead you to victory, winning the fight

Against evil, destruction, hatred, and fear Protecting you and those you hold dear

Don't let these lives be lost in vain It takes courage to stand, find strength in that pain

I've missed you, my child, with all of my heart Will you turn to me now, will you make a new start?

Hi My name is Chris and I just found this great site last night! I have been a believer of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 18 years. 

I have most recently had to rely on Him for my daily strength in the past year. I was a pastor's wife of 17 years when last spring it was discovered my husband was having an affair with my "best friend". Since neither one of them were, nor are repentant, he is out of our home. I could never have believed that this would happen to me. 

I have been through a lot this past year. I had to find a new church for my teen-age girls and I, deal with all those other people talking about our family and deal with lonliness for the 1st time. All this said to show that God is still on the throne in the midst of my turmoil. He can indeed take bad things and use them for good! He has given me amazing strength and peace. Though the marriage is over, I have found a wonderful church and my girls are growing in the Lord by leaps and bounds!! I have a new ministry as a teen youth sponsor in our church. This is in itself of the Lord because since I spend all day with children as an elementary teacher in a Christian school, my own idea wouldn't have been more kids at night but I love it! I am looking forward to mail from new friends at this site. 

Please pray for us in the following areas: I need a lawyer but since we had a ministry in a low income area, we have no savings. Therefore I need a lawyer that won't cost as much. Pray for the teens in our group-about 100-150 as some of them are so pulled by the world!! Please pray for me in the area of missing having someone here to share with... 

God bless you all in His Name, 
Chris

Hi. my is Kathy. I was born in a family of 7. I was the 2nd child, and already had strikes against me. My older sister didn't like me because I took her place in life. So she didn't like me for a long time. I think she finally got over it when I moved to Florida. I was 25 then. 

When I was 5 years old, I was jumping on my bed in my bedroom. When I looked up at my closet (there was a few inches between the ceiling and the closet), Jesus appeared to me. His face was perfect. It was white as snow. As mentioned in Revelations 1:14. Not one hair was out of place. He was looking out the window, which was the north window. He didn't want to look at me because, you can't look God in the face, you will go blind. At the time it scared me. I ran to my mom who was in the kitchen. I know he was watching over me. 

I had a very hard childhood. I was slow. Nobody knew what was wrong with me. My mom tried her best with me in school. All my life I was called things that weren't true. Teachers passed me just to get me to another grade. I didn't pass 1st. grade. Almost didn't pass kindergarten. I was finally diagnosed with " slow comprehension." 

When I got to High school, They finally put me in special ed. I Heard Jesus talking to me. In the kitchen, I sang the most beautiful song. I sounded like an Angel. Then I heard the most beautiful voice in my ear. It was Jesus. He was telling me I had to tell people about Him. That was awesome.

 I got saved when I was 16, 1976.I was at my Aunts house. My mom and I went over there I guess to pray and before I knew it I was asking Jesus into my heart. We were sitting at the kitchen table, all eyes were closed, and we started to pray, and the whole tables and chairs were spinning round and round. I opened my eyes to see that I was just sitting there. When I closed them again, they were spinning again. Then I saw darkness falling down and the love of Jesus shinning in. 

What an awesome thing to witness. I felt so different. Like they say, 'Born-again'. Like being made into something new. God knew what He was doing. I saw Jesus in a dream. I knew it was Him, because He had the same voice as I had heard in the kitchen long ago. (3 years before). 'I was like a baby laying in those beautiful hands'. 'His Robe flowed down into the radiance of His love'. (quoted from a poem I wrote). I told Him I wanted to go home now. He said 'In just a little while'. 

He has given me 2 beautiful children. I'm on my own. I've learned how to drive. He healed my son of spinal bifida. He's done so much for me. 

Now I'm in need of a job. Please pray that God will give me that perfect job He has promised me? thanks. And thanks for listening to my lengthy testimony have so much more to say, but later. 

Love in Jesus precious name, 
Kathy

Hi everyone,

I have been reading through a few of the entries and they have truly blessed my heart.

I am new at this so I would like to tell you all something about myself so that you may become a bit familiar with me.

I have been a Christian for about 10 years, last year I fell away, and I am thankful to God that He showed me the way back. I can honestly say that after being away, there is nothing out there in the world for us. He is the only way.

There are times that I find it hard to stay on task, and I guess that's what Bible Study is for and I attend weekly. I guess I want that big awakening from God, remember that zeal that we all had when we first believed. When it goes, I find it hard to find it or it only comes for a short while.

Does anyone have any suggestions.

Also the cares and worries of this world do tend to crowd out the Lord which is the last thing that I want to happen.

Any advice is welcomed.

Thanks for listening Sonja

I recently did something that I have been strongly against all of my life. Something that I would never imagine ever doing and just the thought makes me ill. I hate what I did but found at the time it was all i could do and now i am forever worrying i have committed the worst sin of all and that i will go straight to hell. My sin which I am ashamed to say was an abortion. Please anyone that could help me or give me any advice would be much appreciated in this time of need.

Thank you. And God Bless.

This message today really makes you stop and think. I didn't know about The Barnhams. I try to not watch much news. I have found a new Christian cable station called DayStar and I watch or at least listen to it most of the day. We have to remember no matter what happens we have to keep our faith in Jesus. I feel like I am going more everyday with him, for the first time in my life, I am free to worship him anytime anyplace for he is my Father and My Savior. I truly love him more everyday, and everything that happens for a reason, and God is still in control.Hope you all have a grat day in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thank you Barry for your messages everyday they are truly a blessing to me.

great website. Only had time to read some small portions. Will be back. It is great to read of someone else having the revelation that the nations which are saved will have as their reward death taken away and redeemed as perfect earthly people. They will need the provisions of the tree of life and they will multiply forever and populate other worlds as the kingdom of God increases forever (Isa 9:6). The bride of Christ is the perfected heavenly people who are the rulers over this ever increasing kingdom and whose home will be in the new Jerusalem. They do not marry but are a fixed number whose dominion and responsibilities will increase as the kingdom increases. Their are other views I differ with you on considerably such as when the earth is renovated by fire and the interpretation of the 6 seals. I will be glad to share my views for we are to edify one another. In Christ's love - Patrick

Shalom! I am a 54-year-old divorced mother of a teenage son. I am a "completed Jew," having found Jesus a little more than eight years ago in an Apostolic church. It was on the eve of Rosh Hashanah when God chose to fill me with the baptism of the Holy Ghost after I had gone to the altar to repent of my sins. I spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance -- and my life was forever changed! Later, I was baptized in His precious name - Jesus.

The road to my salvation experience was a long and rocky one. God brought me out of the "world" and He is now bringing me through the "desert" of this Christian walk. With each new trial and tribulation -- and there have been many -- He carries me through to victory every time! I sing praises to His Name! Hallelujah Jesus!

I found Barry through another website about a month ago, and he invited me to join this wonderful group. I have been healing from some emotional wounds, and have been ministered to by these pages. Thank you, Barry, for making this wonderful website! I hope to find many new friends here.

I would love to hear from other Apostolics in the group, from other completed Jews, and from anyone who would like to write to me. God bless all of my brothers and sisters in the Lord! Shalom!

Diane

BY GOD'S GRACE , I LEARNED ABOUT RECOVERY THROUGH THE 12 STEPS AND 1ST I WORKED ON MY EATING DISORDER. THEN, I ATTENDED ALANON ( TO FIX MY HUSBAND). FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I ADMITTED MY PROBLEM WITH ALCOHOL. I BEGAN RECOVERY IN 1980 AND MY LAST DRINK WAS OCT. 15, 1981. I AM GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE TODAY AND I HAVE SURRENDERED MY LIFE, WHICH IS THE LORD'S, TO HELPING OTHER ADDICTS FIND AND KEEP RECOVERY. I AM A CADC IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY.

Barry Your site is awesome. I printed out the first page and it came out 4 pages long.lol You are the only one who I have talked to that called Jesus by Y'SHUA. A lot of people don't know about His name. The reason I do is because I have read the Book. I held that Bible in my hand as I went to God and ask Him to show me my sins that I committed against Him and Heaven. he revealed Himself to me and when I bowed my head and accepted this, he reach His hand down and touched the back of my neck and I was healed of a broken mind. I saw my mind heal and i felt my mind heal. No one can not tell me that He does not Heal today as He healed when He walked on this earth 2000 years ago. He is Risen and He does stand at the right Hand of the Father Jane

Praise Jesus...Barry is Home!!! As I turned a corner in my life and layed my son before Christ to do with as he would, I began to have peace and began to build a web page for believers to come to until Barry got home or we got word. Either way we knew Barry was in Gods Hands and now my son is too. I was trying to do everything to help my son, pleading, begging, crying, worrying. Jesus show yourself to him that he might receive you as Lord and Savior. I was beyond myself. Once my great performance for the Lord was exhausted and I turned my son over to him to do his will. then I found that peace and I didn't worry about Barry as much either. Purchase and Casimmo, what would I have done without either of you and Reachinheaven!!..  Barry, Purchase and Casimmo were writing daily messages and I was trying to create a web page for others to meet at because no one was checking in at the yahoo discussion boards..lol..we were all running around., and what is funnier is that I just learned how to turn on my computer..let alone design a page!! I just kept praying, if God wanted me to do it, then he would..well I almost have the front page done and what is greater is that it sure kept me occupied and IN THE SPIRIT.. Our God is an AWEsome God!!

Gentleman: We are looking for a Bible Program, that among the common Bibles offered, which includes the electronic text of the Geneva Study Bible. Odd it seems to me, the Logos Bible Softwar company claims to offer a Geneva Study Bible, but upon closer examination they offer only the Geneva Bible study notes WITHOUT the bible text. We are looking for an electronic bible containing the Geneva Bible "Bible text" and not just the study notes. Would you perhaps sell such a product, or know of such a product. If so, would you please reply to this E-MAIL, mtntribe@qwest.net.

The Sense of Life If we believe scientists, this world will come to an end with the death of the sun in billions of years. Other inhabitable planets are out of reach, so mankind will die. What is the sense of life, when there is only death in the end? So we find out, that life does only make sense, if it continues forever with God. All you have to do is to repent from your sins, and God forgives you. Now the question is: Who is the right God? He must reveal himself in truth, but even a baby must understand him. So he must be one with love. Only Jesus did reveal himself in this way.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

This is the Latter Rain Project. With your help we can create a message, which will go around the world. People will think about God. You become God's assistant by distributing this message.

My name is Ralf Biermann, I am 37 years old, an electrical engineer, married to my wife Iris and have a little son called Raphael. We live in Germany. I became manic depressive in 1998 when sin entered my life, I heard evil voices. I read the Bible and faith in Jesus improved my condition. One day when I closed my eyes, I saw a circle of light and thought: this is God. Later I found out that God can be described by a circle: The Holy Ghost is the spirit of truth, truth is the word of God, the word of God is Jesus, Jesus is God, God is spirit and the circle is closed. Light is a symbol for love: He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. God is love. I became a Jew through my faith in Jesus (Romans 2:29).

Please share the good news.

God bless you Ralf

What we think and do may not be right. Ask God to reveal the truth. We have only one chance in our life. So be serious about it. It all ends with our death or Christ’s Second Coming whichever is earlier. Once upon a time I was criticizing salvation. I was against baptism. Please read my testimony below. If you want to submit your life to Christ or facing any confusion for submission based upon this testimony, please contact me at livetestimony@hotmail.com ********************************************************************** My name is Simon. From childhood I had the desire to know God. But too many religions really confused me to which God should I believe. Each religion claim truth in them. Because I was born in a Christian family, so I heard about Jesus. What about others who did not born in Christian family nor did not here about Christ? For them no salvation? These were all the confusion in my mind. Because I am born in a Christian family so I don’t wanted to believe Christ. I wanted to taste Jesus personally.

I was an active member of the church. (That was only to get a good name, but had no personal relation with God) I had that emptiness in my soul. After my college education I moved to Mumbai in search of job. Later I developed my own business. God started blessing me. I became very proudy. Not afraid of anybody. So many times God punished me.But I did not change. At last God catch me. In January 22nd, 1993 I was admitted to hospital for some heart problems. A pain started in my heart. A thought of death came to my mind. I realized that if I die today definitely I will be lost. I cried with a sincere heart, if there is a God existing, heal me today. God, give me a chance to know you, your existence and to know the truth.

With Gods grace I am miraculously healed. I got my life back. (God’s Holy Spirit is able to enter into each and every part of our blood cells.)

As per my commitment I Started searching God, other religions, the word surrender, the death of Jesus for our remission of sin, resurrection, eternal life etc., When I was searching to know God, so many doubts came to mind. I struggled almost for 3 months with confusion in mind. But Holy Spirit clarified all my doubts. In between God arranged so many mediators to clarify my doubts. By hearing Jesus name or birth in Christian family is not the answer for salvation or eternal life. There is no difference between others and you being Christian by birth. In this stage you are worldly like others. But anyone in spite of his religion, if root a relation with Christ that is the beginning. I started reading all religious books in search of thirst for God. But my soul is not satisfied.

At last my search came to Bible. That was the real time when I sincerely started reading bible. There is a quote in proverbs. “Those who seek me, will find me”. When I started reading the Gospel of St.john small tiny lights started twinkling in front of word of God. Definitely it was the work of Holy Spirit. That experiences are lasting till today. Always I find these types of tiny lights in the form of stars move around me. It is a wonderful experience. I found great relief while reading bible. I felt like God is personally talking to me.

Based upon the findings of the Bible, at last I decided to surrender my life to Jesus. I wanted to invite Christ into my heart. I cried like a child, who lost his loving mother.“Jesus, come to my heart, forgive my sins, I believe you died for me”. I brought all my sins in front of Jesus and asked to forgive me. That day Jesus did not come to my heart. I did not feel any changes in me. The emptiness of my heart was not filled. I felt very sad. Again for few days I cried before Him and asked Him why you are not coming to my heart?

At last Holy Spirit revealed to me the reason. Still dirt was there in my heart. I had enmity with 3 people and I had some documents kept secretly with me as a future evidence against one person in case he creates any problem to me. God’s Holy Spirit revealed to me, this is not right. I met all the 3 guys and reconciled with them. And I destroyed that secret document also.

That night was a wonderful night in my life. Again I went back to Christ for surrender. I started crying before Lord. Tears started flowing into my cheeks continuously. I bawled like a baby. I cried like I’d never cried before in my life. I cried like a man whose heart has been broken and of course, that’s just what was happening.

When I finish all I felt a sudden release of tension, and burden from my body. My body became light. I felt like sailing in the atmosphere. My life melted down and transformed into a new creation. Peace entered. With a great relief I went to sleep. Within a minute I became unconscious. I don’t know what was happening to me. My lips started uttering a new language. I heard the sound of heavy wind blowing into my room. A light came towards me and touched my forehead. Immediately I got up from my vision. Yes, my surrender was complete. I experienced the Holy Spirit entering into my soul. Really it was astonishing.

Later I took baptism. Baptism is not only essential but it is also an outward expression of an internal change. Baptism should be after repentence and accepting Jesus as our Saviour.It is a commandment of God.

Now I am not afraid of death. Because my foundation is strong and confirmed. I am trying my best to be holy. God has brought me here in Middle East to discipline my self. He taught me so many lessons with various incidents.

Dear friend, just think where you will be if you die today. Is it possible to die and see? Thank God, Jesus is not yet come, and you are still alive. Take a decision right now. Today is the day of salvation. We don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Remember that our surrender should always be unconditional. Jesus will not enter into a heart if we keep something for us. Don’t keep condition to Christ to come to your heart.

My everything is Jesus. He is king of my heart. Always I think about Jesus. You can share with me your burdens. Are you blessed with this testimony? If so spread this testimony to others. Be a partaker in spreading the good news of salvation.

If you have any suggestions / clarification contact me at livetestimony@hotmail.com I have messenger service also. May God bless you.

Yours in Christ

My daughters are in a bad home. Laura is fourteen and has become suicidal from the abuse. Her mother was suicidal from being abused when she was young also. The courts do not want to deal with their mistake so prayer is the only option. Pray both for her life and her soul. Thank you in Christ, Roger

I just want to say that reading testimony after testimony has so given me hope. My husband went home to be with the Lord 2 years ago and I struggled to continue living. I Praise God for his mercy and peace that he has restored back to me. My life is finally back on track and I can face tomorrow. Please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in the Lord. There is power in agreement and Christians today have to pray and stand on Gods word. Thank you for entering my life at a time when I really needed encouragement. Love in our Lord and Savior, Your Sister Denise
