Forget-Me-Not

We know Thanksgiving is very near and this is the time that many people get together with family and friends and think about what they are thankful for. I have a tendency of forgetting little things because I become overwhelmed with other things. I often forget things like saying, “Thank you.” When someone else does something for me, my mind gets occupied with different things, I forget to say, “Thank you” and when I remember about it, I get dissapointed at myself for forgetting to say “Thank you.” When someone sends us something, and then time runs on, I forget to send an email to say, “Thanks!” When I remember, it is a little “too long” but nevertheless, I still send an email to say, “Thanks!” We have a tendency to forget. It’s a human trait.  Also when we pray, it is often that we think about me, myself, and I on my needs and we forget to say “Thank you” to God for the things He has done for us. It’s like the famous prayer of one man: “God, Bless me and my wife, my son and his wife. Us four and nothing more. Amen.” That’s it. The prayer is quite self-centered. We need to remember to thank God that we have this and that and also thank God for other people as well.

God recognizes that we forget easily, too. After all he made us. He put the rainbow up to remind us that He will never again flood the whole earth. When I see the rainbow, I actually am reminded that God has promised He will never flood the whole earth again.

God has given us celebrations and feasts for His children to celebrate so they can remember Him and His promises. For example, When it was Passover, Yahshua (Jesus) went to the Temple to remember God and what happened in Egypt and how the Hebrew slaves were set free and eventually brought into the promised land.

God is a Father that supplies all of our needs according to His riches and glory. How rich is God? Is he “well-to-do”? “Average? For your information, He is extremely rich. His streets are made out of gold and sapphires. His home is not angels sitting on a cloud playing harps fiddling about. It is a red-carpet life with manisons and wines. We can experience God’s richness here on earth. Yes, there will be tribulations and trials her but we are not limited to those. We can have whatever God has for us here on Earth. We just have to remember to be THANKFUL for it.

Some people remember the gift of salvation and are thankful for it but forget the power of God’s healing and fail to get it. Some people can remember God’s power of healing and be thankful for it but forget about prosperity and forget to get it. Some people can remember prosperity and be thankful for it but forget about long life and fail to get it. Some people remember long life and be thankful for it but forget the cup of abundance and fail to get it. Some people can remember salvation and be thankful for it but forget about wisdom and fail to achieve it. Different things for different people.

“And my God shall supply ALL of your needs according to His riches in glory by the Messiah.” -Philippians 4:19

How many does the scripture say? It says ALL. God will supply ALL of our needs. Also, there is a poem in the famous Pslms 23 chapter. There is a part I like.

“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You annoit my head with oil. My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” -Psalms 23:5-6.

These two verses is something I like. Notice the first sentence of the above scripture says: “You prepare a table before me int he presence of my enemies.” The enemies are satan and his demons. This can also be for people around you who attemps to cause havoc or trouble in your paths. God has prepared on the table for you, the gift of salvation, the power of healing, the bowl of prosperity and riches, the place of long life, the cup of abundance, the ladle of wisdom, and so many more. They are all on your table. They’re for you. God is PREPARING a table IN FRONT of your enemies to show them that He is certainly not afraid that he CAN and WILL bless you (annoit your head and make your cup run over) of abundance. We need to remember to give thanks for them. Many of us can forget God and not be thankful for Him. As we walk in unthankfulness, our table becomes emptier and emptier. If we can forget to thank our brothers and sisters that we can which we can see, then how easy is it to forget to thank God which we cannot see, but only can feel in our hearts.

Moses warned the people of Israel to remember God and that warning still is for us today. It is like Moses saying, “I’m telling you man, keep your head little and be thankful!”

“Beware that you do not forget the Lord, your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgements, and His statues which I commanded you today, lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them, and when your herds and your flocks multiply and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied, when your heart is lifted up and you forget the Lord your God, then you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth”, then it shall beif you by any means forget the Lord, your God and follow other gods and worship then. I tesify against you this day that you shall surely perish.” -Deuteronomy 8:11-19.

You know the famous quote, “Pride before the fall.” That’s what Moses was telling the people. 

We can forget God easily. Really, God has already prepared a table with everything on it for your needs. We just have to sit at the table, get them, and remember to thank Him. 

David was a king who was after God’s heart. He reminded himself not to forget God and His goodness or His Word.

“I will delight myself in Your statues. I will not forget Your word.” -Psalms119:16

This is a good time to remember what God’s word says:

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thakful to Him, and bless His name.”-Psalms 100:4

Have you thanked God today? Give thanks for every meal you eat, your family and friends. The little and big things you have, thank God. Remember him, and also, thank God on behalf of others who did not thank God.

“Giving thanks always  for all the things to God, the Father, in the name of our Messiah.”-Ephesians 5:25

Forget-Me-Not!

Don’t forget to THANK God!

Happy Thanksgiving!

What Good Is My Yahweh (God)?

November 17th, 2008 |

Which God do we serve? Yahweh or Money (and other stuff)? Are we a begging group?

A little background on the name Yahweh. It is God’s TRUE name. God’s name spelled in Hebrew is YHWH and can be spelled Yahweh. The name “God” is a generic name. The Catholic Church a few hundred years after Yahushua *Jesus* died did not want to be “like the Jews” so they changed many things. Calling God by his true name, Yahweh, was forbidden. I will sign God because many people recognize that sign name, but keep in mind that the name “God” is just a generic name. Just FYI.

Are we a begging nation?

There is a story in the Scriptures about a lame man who always sat at the gate called Beautiful. He had been lame since birth and many people knew him as the lame guy who sat at the gate to beg. Peter and John were on their way to the temple for prayer and the begger hollered and wanted money from them. Peter and John saw him and told him, Silver and gold , I do not have, but I have something, in the name of Jesus stand up and walk.” Peter pulled him up and when the man realized he was healed, he leapt with joy and ran into the temple to praise and worship. Everyone who knew him marveled. A miracle had happened. People wanted to know more about what had caused the lame man to be healed.

Acts 3:1-11

Have we shifted the course on who we serve? The Scriptures say we cannot serve two masters, we will love one hate the other one. You cannot serve money (and other things) and love God at the same time.

“No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” -Luke 16:13

I want to point out several things about the lame fellow. Peter and John were men who walked with Jesus. They saw many miracles Jesus did. Jesus had already died and resurrected. The Holy Spirit had come upon over 3,000 and counting people. The chatter in Jerusalem was about who the Messiah is, and the new covenant. The beggar, most likely had already seen Jesus walk to and fro the Temple, he probably had already heard about Him. This is the same as the world today. People have heard chatters about God and Jesus and they wonder about the miracles that are not being seen nowdays. The beggar had been sitting at the gate all these time Jesus was around but the problem most likely was that he never went up to Jesus to ask for healing. He only wanted money. Peter and John were on their way to the temple to pray. They did not plan on healing the lame guy. When the lame guy saw Peter and John, he was expecting money. That was all he wanted. Peter and John knew what the homeless man wanted but they had something better to give. They gave the lame man something that the name of Yahushua *Jesus can give him, and that was a healing miracle.

A chineese proverb: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” I often wonder why homeless shelters are not passing out fishing rods. :-) Anyway,  the beggar is like the world. He begs for money because he knows money will help him get food, get a place to sleep, get clothes and etc. This will make him happy for the day, fulfill the needs he has. We get up early in the morning and we go to work, we are willing to do that because the motivation is likely money. Ah, money talks. Oh, Don’t get me wrong, we should work. The Scripture says that if a man does not work, he ought not to eat.

God said “Ask and it will be given so that your joy may be full.”

“I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” -John 16:23-24

Are we sitting with the world and begging? Are we telling others we need money, need help from the government, need this give me, give me, free free free? Did we first ask God for what we need? When the economy crashes, it should not affect us. We, as Believers should not have to beg at all. All we have to do is ask our Father for what we want and need. I don’t need to worry about what happens in this world because God gives us peace, love, joy, fullness, abundance, prosperity, salvation and much more. I have an inheritance and I’m set for life.  It is our job to give to the beggar what we have.

When the world begs, don’t just give them temporary things, oh, yes help them out, but don’t just limit it becasuse that will only fill him up for a day. Give them something that will make them never go hungry again. Give them God’s power, healing, salvation, prosperity and many other things in the name of Yahushua *Jesus, so that our joy may be full.  The world is hungry, make no mistake about that. The field is ripe and ready for harvest but the laborers are few. We are closer to the “Last days” than ever before. Jesus is filling the goblets with water, preparing the banquet. Horses are galloping towards us and are being held back at the command of God.  God’s waiting to give every one a chance to change his position, from the beggar to the child of God. And if you have been sitting with the beggar, stand up and start walking. People are saying, “What good is your Yahweh (God)? You and I are the same, we’re sitting and asking for money, happiness, joy, peace, and love. 

We are a nation, God’s chosen nation. Let our abundance fall upon other people and help them never go hungry because that’s how good my Yahweh is.

A Letter To The Public: Re: Aidan Mack

November 7th, 2008 |


 

Hello,

I have been receiving e-mails concerning my discussion with Aidan Mack in the past two months. Some people wanted to know the whole story and some people were wondering how I became involved.

At first, I thought it was best to explain on a personal basis but because of the constant e-mailings and “rumors” afloating around, I decided to do this publically. Feel free to forward this to share with others that may have some questions.

Aidan Mack and I are not accquaintaces, however we have seen each other at Gallaudet University when we were students there. It is possibe that we have briefly spoken to each other once or twice, but I cannot remember if we really did.

When I did my vlog, “My Abusive Father”, this vlog had nothing to do with Aidan Mack. I just randomly wanted to talk about God and sickness. 6 days later, Aidan Mack created a vlog in response to the gay community. In her vlog, she mentioned my name for the first time and commented negatively on the vlog I created. This was the first time our paths crossed. I want to share with you that she has never contacted me in private or in public asking for clarification regarding my vlog.

http://www.deafvideo.tv/video/watch/24814/

Four days later, I created another vlog “How Unconsitutional Are We?”. This vlog has nothing to do with Aidan Mack, it was randomly created because of the election being around the corner. 6 days later, Aidan Mack created a vlog directing it to my vlog and made negative comments on it. I would like to share again that she has never contacted privately or in public asking for clarification regarding my vlog.

Aidan Mack’s vlogs: “Is US Consitution based on the Christanity”

http://www.deafvideo.tv/video/watch/25684/

“Is America based on Christanity Nation: Part 2

http://www.deafvideo.tv/video/watch/25701/

6 days later, I created a vlog, “I Am Crying Because I Am A Woman”. This vlog did not mention Aidan Mack’s name at all. I did not mention her name out of respect. However, this vlog was created to clarify how God viewed women. I want to share once again that she has never contacted me in private or in public asking for clarification regarding my vlogs.

Aidan created two vlogs afterwards which has been removed. In her vlogs, she heavily, negatively commented about the vlog I created. In that vlog of hers, I noticed an error and presented her mistake in identifying pronouns. In those vlogs, she and I entered a heated debate. I emphsicaily said she was not able to understand the pronouns used in the Bible and asked why she kept attacking me. Her comments did not resolve anything. It became messy with other people being involved. Because the mistake was openely exposed, she removed her two of her vlogs and created another one.

Aidan Mack’s v-log: “In Response To My Own Video Comment”

http://www.deafvideo.tv/video/watch/26898/

At that point, I felt it was best that I create another vlog sharing how God views women. Again, I did not mention Aidan Mack in this vlog out of respect. I felt there was absolutely no need to drag anyone’s name or even to attempt to destroy anyone. I created a vlog, “Some Leaders Are Born Women”.  Again, Aidan Mack has never contacted me in private or public.

Aidan created another vlog indirectly attacking me for the sign I used in my vlog.

Aidan’s vlog, “Signs & Gesture: Woman Power and Man Power”

http://www.deafvideo.tv/video/watch/27156/

After that vlog, I felt it was best to walk away. I did not know what Aidan Mack’s motive was in attacking me 7 times. I decided it was best that I stay low to let “life move on” and Eric decided he would create a vlog about the election.

His vlog is titled, “Choices! Choices! Election 2008″. This vlog has nothing to do with Aidan Mack at all. Eric had planned for a long time to create a vlog about the election.

The next day, Aidan Mack created another vlog, “Deaf People are FOOL if they vote for McCain/Palin”.

http://www.deafvideo.tv/video/watch/27575/

Eric and I did not bother to comment. After the Election, she created another one, “Obama to be next president”, mocking deaf people who voted for McCain:

http://www.deafvideo.tv/video/watch/28697/

So, this is the story. I will not comment on any of Aidan Mack’s vlogs in the future because there is a pattern of attacks. Eric and I have no desire to spark anger and cause divisions. We welcome discussions but they must be diplomatic, peaceful, and well-mannered. I hope this will answer many of your questions and help others understand this issue.

Thank you very much for your time wanting to hear both sides of the story.

Be blessed!

June Ann
