164th Day of the 28th Year

Blessed are You, O Heavenly Father, Who causes me to stand in the gap in Your Strength against all of these things that come upon the people! You have Strengthened me to stand with faithfulness towards you! You have given me a heart to be concerned about the plight of the people! Hear my prayers, O God! Teach me to pray as I ought to pray; and, give me the focus of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Praise waits for You, O God, in Your Church: and unto You shall the vow be performed. O Lord our God, You that hear prayer, unto You shall all flesh come. Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, You shall purge them away. Blessed is the man whom You choose, and cause to approach unto You, that he may dwell in Your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, even of Your holy temple. By terrible things in righteousness will You answer us, O God of our salvation, Who is the confidence of all of the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: which by Your Strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power! You still the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at Your tokens: You make the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. You visit the earth, and waters it: You greatly enriches it with the river of God, which is full of water: You prepare them corn, when You have so provided for it. You water the ridges thereof abundantly: You settle the furrows thereof: You make it soft with showers: You bless the springing thereof. You crown the year with Your goodness; and Your paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. Amen!

Peace be unto you all! May the Lord Strengthen you with His Enduring Strength by His Spirit in your inward man during the time of your fasting! The Lord will honor your sacrifice! Amen!

In a dream last night, I dreamed that I was part of a football team: but, I was told by the head coach to move into a position that I had never played before! This position was part of the line as a guard. I was much smaller than the regular linemen! But, the coach would put me in one of those critical positions! If the line does not hold up, the team does not function at all! These are the five interior linemen! The linemen don't get glory like the quarterbacks, the wide receivers, and the running backs! These are the unsung heroes; and, those that do the dirty work. These are the Protectors, and the ones who clear the way! I accepted this assignment gladly, even though I knew I had an injury with my right knee. I went to the huddle! I saw how the team was huddled; so, I looked for my position in the huddle according to my position. The play was called; and, I took my position in the line at the right side of the center. I made my block and held out the defender as the pass was thrown. After the receiver caught the pass, I ran downfield to block for the receiver, because I saw a defender coming towards the receiver to tackle him. I would run fast enough to cutoff the defender before he could reach the receiver. Because the defender saw me coming, he had to concern himself with my presence; so, he was not able to focus completely on catching the receiver. I had the speed to do this because my regular position was running back. But, my knee was hindering me, keeping me from running as fast as I once could. But, the defender still had to respect my presence! The receiver was able to outrun the defender to the goal line. After this, I walked with two others: one was a trainer! We were on our way to the office of the head coach! I wanted to inform him about the knee problem: but, those two tried to prevent me from speaking with the coach about the knee. One of them said to me, "If you tell him about the injury, he will ship you off to Arizona!" But, as he was speaking, the coach came down some stairs, and stood before me! I wondered if I should report this to him, because of what I had heard! What is trying to hinder us from speaking to the Lord about what is going on with us? Amen!

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the dream! What do these things mean? You already know what conditions we are in! If I am not able to do that which You require me to do: but, my desire is for doing it: You will give me the ability to do that which You have required of me. Truly, I do have a problem with my right leg; and, I have thought about my inability to do those things that I use to be able to do in the ministry. The Lord will not cast us aside when we are sick, or injured! The Lord said He would make our beds in our sickness, because we have given consideration to the poor. It is written in the Word of God, saying, Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and You will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing! You will make all his bed in his sickness.

I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul, because I have sinned against You.¶ Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? And if he come to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it. All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. An evil disease, say they, cleaves fast unto him: and now that he is laid up, he shall rise up no more. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. But You, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. By this I know that You favor me, because mine enemy does not triumph over me. And as for me, You uphold me in mine integrity, and set me before Your face forever. Blessed be the LORD God of the children of Christ in all of the world, from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen."

Now, O Lord, I need the healing; and, I lift this condition up to You for its destruction. You gave me to lift the heavy burdens; and, the burden has fallen upon me. You are He Who delivers us from evil! My Lord, I ask that You would take away this burden; and, remove this affliction from me, because I have done what You required me to do, which was my duty to do, for the deliverance of the people. Because You commanded me to do this, and I knew of my own sickness; yet, I did not object to being told to do this. O Lord, heal my body now, I pray Thee! You have said that if we be willing, and then be obedient that we shall eat the good of the land! And, because of what You have given me to remember about being willing and obedient, and eating of the good of the Land, I am caused to remember part of another dream that showed that I had entered in a large dining area where there was all manner of food set out on tables in several rows! I walked along the rows, putting food on my tray! There were others there also! After we would get the food, we would all sit down at tables to eat! We could eat as much as we wanted! No one bothered anybody else! All of this was free! Even so, O Lord, You have given me much Understanding of the Word; and, I do give it to people freely; and, You have given me this web site, http://www.xmeah.com, which displays much of that which You have given me. The people can eat as much as they want! My Lord, You have prepared a table before me in the presence of my enemies; and, You have caused me to enter into Your Feast of Joy! You have invited me to Your Marriage Supper! You make my joy to increase; and, You cause my heart to rejoice! Blessed are You, O Lord God, Most Holy! You have given us daily that which we need! You have made our horn to be exalted! You have caused our praises to be acceptable unto You! Amen!

Peace be unto you! Yes, I am feeling better! This morning during the praises, I was just rejoicing at the things the Lord was speaking to us on yesterday about. Even with putting our bodies under subjection! And also about using ALL the tools that He gives us. When we returned home I was going to lie down, because I was VERY tired, but then the Lord had me to get up and get back to printing up some more Reports and Carrium Cover Sheets! While doing this, the strength returned and I was back to the business of making CDs and Reports. Also, I did see what you all were talking about with the printer stopping printing when it ran out of a color! I laughed and said, "That's what they were talking about!" There was a big red X on the screen, and it did not print anymore, until I changed the cartridge. But yes, I am doing better, and thankful to the Lord for His Consideration of me. I feel small and in awe of the Lord taking notice of me... sort of like, "who am I, that the Lord would look at me, and consider me, and my pains!" Praise goes to the Lord and thank You very much for everything! I also rejoiced this morning when Ruth and Timmi came to remembrance! That news is SO GREAT to hear and it is so encouraging!! I am looking for mine that want the Word too. I want someone that I can always give the Word to, and someone that wants it!

Well, as soon as Ace opens, I will deposit that. The one over here opens at 10:00, but I know the one on Lucas opens at 9:00, so as soon as I have the money there, I will call you, so we can order the printers! Thanks again, for everything!

Ruth wrote, saying, What a wonderful Savior, He makes me so happy. I love the Lord; He has brought me a long way. On the 18th in my birthday, I'll be 61. Timmi and I just made it home, and I was so surprised to get your email. On the plane I was reading your papers you gave me, and was sitting next to a doctor; and it caught his eye, and I shared it with him. David's wife was made barren, because she did not like the way David danced out of his clothes?? But, she had children for someone else?? We are now going to read more. We missed that. Reading your papers was so wonderful. Thank you. Keep in touch.
