Oil Spill

Lily: Revelation 16:3
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

And, Like I've been saying for weeks: WHAT does the blood of a dead man look like?
Thick, Black, Dark, Congealed....sound FAMILIAR????? Now, I in no way am saying THIS oil spill is a prophetic situation........I am saying it could happen this way, however.

Victory Garden Prayer:

Dear Father,
You are the Creator; the Maker of heaven and earth, and all things therein. We Thank You for Your Mercy,Love, and Grace. Your love is never failing. You are worthy of Praise, Honor, and Glory!
Father, in our humanity we fail in so many ways. We have failed miserably in caring for the earth, water, and atmosphere that You have placed in our stewardship. We have many problems in our country right now. We have made many mistakes as a nation. Our nation seems to have taken no thought for doing what is right in your eyes, but that which seems to be right in our own.
Father God, I, for one, repent for my nation. I pray for this country and I thank You every day for the freedoms and blessings You have given to us. We have always been "One Nation Under God" and a nation of "In God We Trust" I ask You, Lord, to open the eyes of our leaders! Turn America back to Your ways and to You, so that we CAN be a Blessed nation whose Lord is God! Lord, I pray with all my heart that America will begin to see how we are NOTHING without YOU!
I ask these things in the very Precious and Holy Name Of Jesus Christ Our Lord and One and Only Savior of the world! I Thank You!
In Christ Alone, Our Hope Is Found!

Victory Garden of Prayer Health Tips From the Bible!

Get the Scoop on Nuts!
ListenGenesis 43:11:
And their father Israel said to them, 'If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land ... pistachio nuts and almonds.' New research is revealing the health benefits of eating nuts. While eating peanuts has been shown to reduce heart disease risks by lowering triglycerides, tree nuts offer many more benefits.

People often worry about the fat in nuts. However, most of that fat is the good kind that protects hearts, while at the same time satisfying the body's need for fat. The result is that nut eaters can lose weight and keep it off. In one Canadian study, those trying to lose weight while satisfying their fat needs with nuts lost an average of nine pounds over 18 months. Over the same trial period, those trying to lose weight with a low-fat diet actually gained an average of six pounds. Another study showed that people who ate two ounces of nuts four or five times a week lowered their risk of heart attack by 50 percent. Yet another study showed that women who ate only five ounces of nuts per week were one third less likely to have a heart attack than those who ate nuts infrequently. Several studies have shown that almonds, macadamia nuts or walnuts lowered high cholesterol by ten percent. Other studies have shown that nut eating can lower the risk of prostate cancer by 30 percent and may lower the risk of colon and stomach cancers.

Nuts are a great gift from God and truly are among the best fruits of the land. Chance would not have evolved all these health benefits in a food clearly designed for us to eat. A loving Creator made them for our good.

Prayer:
Thank You, dear Father, for all the good gifts of the earth. Amen!

In Christ Alone!
