Dear all,

I bring before you a case I support you all to pray for! Please pray for Terri Schindler-Schiavo, whose feeding tube has been removed and who will most deffinately starve a horrible dehydration death within 2 till 4 weeks! Please pray for her parents who don't want this to happen to her! Please pray for everyone involved, that the Lord is able to speak Truth to their hearts about her and her situation! Please pray that everyone involved will realise the worth of this live, even though she is in a coma!

Please pray for her husband who decided to remove this tube. Pray that he changes his mind about the condition his wife is currently in. May God change his heart about the value of life.

And please pray for the judges and the people of the law involved. Let them make Godly decisions above worldly decision! Let God speak Truth to Law, not only in the US, but everywhere where people face these situations!

My prayers go out to Terri.. Let God wake over her and protect her with his love. Let God fight her battle and bring her enemies down! Let God speak to everyone involved and speak to their hearts, let them to be moved and make the decision to continue feeding His precious daughter again soon! I pray in Jesus Name, AMEN.

God bless you all for your prayers,

Subject: Devotional for Maundy Thursday
March 24, 2005


“Jesus Slept Here”
by John Fischer

The Last Supper, which Christians celebrate tonight in what is traditionally called Maundy Thursday, has been immortalized in countless paintings and displays and acted out in famous plays, films and musicals. It is significant because it is when our most revered sacrament was first administered. It is also where Jesus gave his final instructions to his disciples, recorded in the Gospel of John and labeled by biblical scholars as “The Upper Room Discourse” (John 13-17). But rarely do we stop to think about that room and how it came to be such a sacred place. It belonged to somebody. Somebody donated it to the cause.

Somebody donated the donkey that Jesus rode in on for the Triumphal Entry, and someone prepared the meal for that famous supper. Think of how many different houses Jesus and his disciples slept in over three years of ministry. Think of how many meals were prepared for them. Think of those who contributed to their treasury so their basic needs could be met. Then there was Joseph of Arimathea who contributed his tomb as a burial place for Jesus, Nicodemus who helped prepare the body for burial, and the women who got up early on Resurrection Day to anoint the body because they could not do it on the Sabbath. All these people served Jesus and His cause, and without them, the work would not have been able to be accomplished. Yet we hear so little about them. Many remain nameless. They are always in the background.

That’s always the way it is with servants, but they don’t mind because it’s not about them. They are serving a higher cause and a greater one than they. Their job is to serve and get out of the way, and they do this with great pleasure. Their reward is in knowing that God sees their work, and in watching what their work has made possible in the lives of others. Servants are bent on pleasing God, and their own needs are minimal.

When you think about the Lord’s Supper, remember that someone set the table, and someone picked up afterwards, just as someone will have prepared the Last Supper celebration you might be experiencing tonight. Ministry doesn’t take place without service, and we are all called to play a part in serving each other. Make yourself ready.

ANTICHRIST 
Heimataerde
non nobis, domine, non nobis, sed nomine tuo da gloriam

Heimataerde and the forbidden being.

In the dead of night the wiedergänger sneaks out of his grave to give
eternal life and to create a new religion.

Under the protection of Heimataerde

Heimataerde promises shelter for the Wiedergänger and provides means for
his reincarnation. It is in the Heimataerde where he rests in the
daytime hours; it preserves him from decay and hides him from the
deceiving clarity of light. But his former templar comrades and the
Master Superior claim the Heimataerde too, and know of this weak spot of
the traitor.


The eternal fight for Heimataerde

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love,
I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
And if I have prophetic powers,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
but have not love,
I am nothing.

The Heimataerde is in the centre of the fight between good and evil.
Visions of power and light, without shade or mercy want to triumph over
mortal love and sin. Who can tell the right side, when the day of decision comes?

Bottom-Up Worshiper
by John Fischer

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God… He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. (Colossians 1:15 & 17)

Last week we noted the faith of Templeton Prize winner, Charles Townes. I’ve run into an additional source of praise and worship from yet another renowned physicist who believes in God. His name is Sir John Polkinghorne, and he has been honored for his remarkable achievements in mathematical physics by being appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society in England. He was part of the team that discovered the quark (the most fundamental particle of matter yet discovered). He has since left his post at Cambridge to study theology and serve as an Anglican priest. The title of one of his lectures is “The Faith of a Physicist: Reflections of a Bottom-Up Thinker.”

I love that title. It makes me think about a different angle on worship. Often when we think about worship, we think about something lofty. We think of God in the heavens, and how He reaches down to us here below. It’s definitely top-down worship. We look up to see Him; we lift our hands, trying to meet Him reaching down to us. We start with God and we remember how He has worked throughout history, and how He has invaded our lives with His love. That’s top-down worship. It starts with God and seeks how a belief in Him colors the decisions and details of our lives. This is definitely one aspect of worship but not the only one.

Worship is also bottom-up. We can start by observing our world, our lives, and our history and begin to find God’s hand in all this. This is what you would expect from a scientist. Scientists begin with observation at the most basic level. They start with particulars and try and build conclusions or theories based on those particulars. For a scientist to believe in God (especially one who helped discover the universe’s most fundamental elements) means he started by observing the universe from the ground up, and based on all the particulars he gathered, God become his final conclusion. There was no other way for him to correlate all the facts that have been gathered by all the scientists over all time.

I would like to encourage you to be bottom-up worshiper. Such a person would be finding God everywhere, not just waiting for church or the worship music to start. God makes sense of our everyday lives. Everything from ground up holds something about God and something that can point us to Him. It’s a matter of opening our eyes and realizing that when it comes to worship, class is always in session.

This song is the end of a long journey for me. I have longed to see how we can incorporate more 'laments' in our modern worship experience for years, but writing a lament that congregations can sing together, seems to be much tougher than writing songs of joy!! In my opinion, there are so many reasons we need more laments in our corporate worship. The Psalms are full of them and Gods people have sung them for several millennia!! Today, real people need a safe place to express their pain and grief, and still know they are accepted and loved by God and His people! For the broken-hearted and those who are grieving, singing only 'happy songs' can leave them on the outside looking on. I have included this song to this project for allos us who are going through tough times, yet still we want to come and worship because there is no other place where we can find true comfort. Like the Psalms, our laments can honestly express our pain and our questions, and can still have an expression of hope as well. In Psalm 13, the word "but" looms large! Its maybe the hinge word of the Psalm and our song. This is who we are; this how we feel, but , in light of all that, I will still trust in You O God.


Psalm 13 (How long O Lord)

How long oh Lord will You forget me
How long oh Lord
Will You look the other way

How long oh Lord
Must I wrestle with my thoughts
And every day
Have such sorrow in my heart

Look on me and answer
Oh God my Father
Bring light to my darkness
Before they see me fall

But I trust in Your unfailing love
Yes my heart will rejoice
Still I sing of Your unfailing love
You have been good
You will be good to me

Subject: The Pope passed away...
and my prayers go out to the millions of believers who loved this Pope during the 26th years of his reign over the Catholic Church and all the other admirors of him during the time Karol Jozef Wojtyla reigned as Pope John II. I heard on a CNN report that the Pope wanted us not to be sad, but to rejoice...

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me. "My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefor I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Assailed by afflictions, we discover Dharma
And find the way to liberation. Thankyou, evil forces!

When sorrows invade the mind, we discover Dharma
And find lasting happiness. Thankyou, sorrows!

Through harm caused by spirits we discover Dharma
And find fearlessness. Thankyou, ghosts and demons!

Through people's hate we discover Dharma
And find benefits and happiness. Thankyou, those who hate us!

Through cruel adversity, we discover Dharma
And find the unchanging way. Thankyou, adversity!

Through being impelled to by others, we discover Dharma
And find the essential meaning. Thankyou, all who drive us on!

We dedicate our merit to you all, to repay your kindness.
