"YES! THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL PLAN!!"
Volume 129 June 19, 2011 |

Greetings
"YES! THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL PLAN!" ( 1 of 5)
Matthew 1:22-- King James and (New Living Translation)-Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying...(All of this happened to fulfill the Lord's message ...)
This verse refers to the actions over a period of time that occurred to Jesus' coming to earth for mankind's sins.
This scripture is also a powerful reminder that what we do, what we experience,
who we have the pleasure or unpleasant experience of meeting,
the timeline of when things happen in our lives;
every aspect of our individual experiences is happening because of this verse; for the fulfillment of God's plan for our lives.

"YES! THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL PLAN! (2 of 5)"
To understand and accept Matthew 1:22, we must reflect back to what God said in Jeremiah 29:11
KJ- For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
NLT- For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Also note Psalm 139:16 NLT- You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
We must certainly embrace Psalm 37:23-NLT-The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.
All that pertains to the journey of a good man's life is directed, ordered, fitted or arranged by the Lord.
His course of life is under the Lord's Divine guidance and control and his steps (the way in which he goes) are ordered by the Lord.

"YES! THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL PLAN!" ( 3 pf 5)
The general idea is that we are the recipients of Divine favor, and are under the care of God.
Wow, the loving care of Daddy-God! The embracement of Daddy-God!
The responsibility of Daddy-God for our lives, Wow!
Because God knew even before time began, the choices we would make, whether wise or foolish choices,
He calculated all of that into the timeline of His plan unfolding and being developed in our lives.
God is in charge of the person's life who has surrendered the reins of their heart to Him.
Thank you Lord that because YOU KNOW ALL THINGS; YOU make our bad decisions which are caused by us being "Hard-Headed" and
not listening to Your Wise directives; even to work out for our good.
Romans 8:28-NLT-And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.
This includes all of our afflictions and trials; all the persecutions and misfortunes to which we are exposed to.
Though they are numerous and last seemingly "too long"; yet
they are among the means that are appointed for our welfare (well-being, happiness, good, safety, prosperity, etc.)

"YES! THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL PLAN!" (4 of 5)
The qualification of all things working for one's good is that they love God, and consequently, live in the Spirit of Obedience.
That means we must develop and practice sensitivity of seeking and following the Lord's direction and His Wisdom.
How many times have we experienced painful misfortunes; not because it was Daddy's desire but because we chose to do it our own way!
We must also understand that whatever Daddy-God does in our life is because He has a larger plan in mind.
He doesn't just work on the behalf of one person to teach and demonstrate Himself only to him or her;
but to multi-teach and to demonstrate to a massive number of persons who He is and what He desires!
Daddy-God desires that we submit ourselves to Him so that we will be His "Puppets of Demonstration".
Ricky Dillard- Things Will Work Out ( Please Click Here) |
"YES! THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL PLAN!" (5 of 5)
Therefore, we are not alone in making the decisions of life if we embrace
James 1:5 NLT- If you need wisdom-if you want to know what God wants you to do-ask Him, and He will gladly tell you. He will not resent you asking.
So whatever we experience, whether we cause it or it is caused by someone else,
we must remember to tell ourselves this was allotted in the overall plan for "My life"!
ALL THAT was done and is being done is so that the "plan" for "My Life" might be fulfilled which Daddy-God has already stated for my life!
Every line on a drawing has a purpose-
no, it doesn't initially look like it is going to have purpose, but when IT ALL COMES TOGETHER- those little lines make sense.
It will eventually connect to an overall beautiful picture. Be encouraged, for God does have a "BEAUTIFUL" plan for YOUR LIFE!!

The Window From Which We Look
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast, The young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not very clean", she said.
"She doesn't know how to wash correctly.
Perhaps she needs better laundry soap." Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry,
The young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a
Nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:
"Look, she has learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this."
The husband said, "I got up early this morning and
Cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life. What we see when watching others
Depends on the purity of the window through which we look

Words From The Heart!!
I consider you to be a special person. I thoroughly enjoy the messages sent from your web site. Thank you for allowing God to use you to bless others. Minister M W |
Dear Dr. T, As always, thank you for the very inspiring OneFaith Newsletters. They not only keep me in touch with you and the One Faith Fellowship, I am equipped with some effective tools that help me to balance my life. The music selections are great too. Keep them coming. Give my love to all. M D

Thank you Dr. T. Good reading. When I think of what the doctor said I stop breathing 68 times in 60 seconds that could have been my last but God. I sleep with a c-pap sleep machine believing God for healing of this. Love and Blessing to you. R S ...Dr. Lewis so good to hear from u after not receiving your letter last night...u have us spoiled...smiles, hugs and blessings to u and family! BH Hey Dr. Lewis, To this wonderful Word for the Day I say AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! God Bless and keep you and bless your ministry even the more! Thanks so much for the wonderful Words to encourage our hearts! I would like to think I would spend my day giving the Lord Praise and walking in the Spirit of God, but I know I have some days that are off as do we all!! Working on it though, trying to get closer to the Lord and do what His Word says for me to do! I like what you said about our God is Large and in Charge!!! AMEN to that and I know He will keep my foot steps in order! AMEN! Love you lot's! Evangelist V L I enjoyed your interview with Dr. Crenshaw; God's creative miracle is demonstrated by the human capacity to synthesize our internal experiences, biology, and environmental stimulus into the life we give back to God; nature and nurture are seen as the principal components that guide the choices we make in life; from a spiritual standpoint however, faith which is immeasurable, is often left out of the equation; God has given us a measure of faith that cannot be captured by frontal cortex's calculations or the primitive desires of the nucleus accumbens. In the final analysis "we are wonderfully made". Dr. NV

Hey Dr. Lewis: Hello Mom Lewis, Thank you so much as always, for your emails. I really appreciate them. Thank you again for the well-wishes and for your kind words. It's always great to hear from you. I'm glad you are doing great. Well have a pleasant week. GOD bless you always and know that I appreciate you very much. Love you, Your son in the Lord, JJ WHAT A BLESSING IN THIS MESSAGE "BLESS YOUR OWN SELF". Thanks for sharing! Be Blessed! LOVE, PEACE & BLESSINGS, E S Hello Dr. Lewis: How are you? I hope and pray that that all is well with you. I just came back from school and I saw and read your message, "Bless Your Own Self." Through the power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and direction and guidance of the Holy Spirit, I am doing my best to live up that model. So I receive it in Jesus name. Thank you. Keep up the good work. Minister C K Thank you so much for your kind words. Likewise I know I can always count on you when I need to be filled with good words and encouragement. God bless you always! When we make it a point to bless somebody every day, we make ourselves happy...we cheer ourselves up right after the devil has used his cohort to persecute. Smiles & blessings for u and your family! B H Profound! Dr. M H
Hello Dr. Tonya; and Thank you for your wonderful e-mails. Elder O B Thank you Dr. T. God has mercy to us who shows Mercy. Good Nuggets. I see you stay busy. Blessing and love to you R S Blessed is the man that walketh___ not in the counsel of the ungodly. nor seats in the seat of the scornful. But he delight himself in the law of the Lord and in his law does he meditate day and night. We are blessed better than bless praise God.and pretty soon we are----- going to see the KING and serving the LORD would have paid off-trying to tell you (after while). Now in the meanwhile maybe we are waiting for JESUS to come!! See you in a few weeks!! Much love-E P Remember He PROMISED to bless those that bless us and to curse those who cure (us) |

Hello Dr Lewisthe top of the morning to you: the HIGH POINT of the email to me is that: I desire to spend my time helping others and doing my missionary work. (spending quality time helping others) If they allow me to do so, and living my own life on a daily basis. Keeping the end in mind /however not to be become sadden because of this UNAVOIDABLE FACT>>>>>> taxes and debt and remembering not to DUPLICATE others/just be MEE. NOT MOTHER TERESA/JUANITA Bynum taking time to smile and encourage other and TOO stay out of GOD BUSINESS. Have a blessed day.
