Therefore thus says the Lord God, "Behold, I am laying in Zion for a foundation a Stone, a tested Stone, a precious Cornerstone of sure foundation; he who believes (trusts in , relies on, and adheres to that Stone) will not be ashamed, or give way or hasten away (in sudden panic)."

Prayer Request

At only 22 weeks along, Briana Lawler Dean went into labor Wednesday this past week. Her water had broken and she was told by the doctors that the baby would have to be delivered within 24 to 48 hours. The baby would have only a slim chance for survival. She had already lost one baby at about 12 weeks. She was devastated to think she might lose another. We were all devastated.

But PRAISE GOD that after some wonderful prayer warriors interceded, the doctors came back in and said that she didn't lose all of her amniotic fluid and that if they could get the labor stopped the baby could survive in the womb with they fluid she had left and that her body would continue to make more. And PRAISE GOD that He had his hand upon not only her and the baby, but on the doctors also. Through God's help they were able to stop her labor.

The goal now is to try to hold the baby in until she reaches 27 weeks. This means that she must lay flat of her back 24/7 in the hospital until the baby comes.

Please pray hard and often for her and the baby. If anyone would like to bless her with a card, letter or just a line of scripture; anything you think might encourage her, please send them to:

Briana Dean

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

DRESSED TO BE BLESSED

ALABAMA LADIES RETREAT 2010

May 14-15, 2010

Camp Boothe - Green Pond, Alabama

Speaker this year: Anzella Abernathy

"Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand...Ephesians 6:11

Oh! How we are excited about His Presence, His anointing on our lives. To be dressed in the whole armor of God so that we will be able to stand against the lies, tricks and deceit of the enemy. That we may be able to war for our God. To be able, by the blood of Christ to stand as a Godly Woman, a Godly Mother, a Godly Wife in an ungodly world. To please our Lord and to make our lives count for Him and His glory. To have an influence on our children, our families, our neighbors, our youth and to have an influence in the work place, in the school house, in the church, and in our homes. We may be dressed in a suit, in heels and hat, or jeans and sneakers but on the inside there is a sword drawn, a belt of truth, a breastplate of righteousness, feet shod and prepared with the Gospel of peace, shield of faith in place, and on our heads we wear the helmet of Salvation. With a song in our hearts, a prayer on our lips and the joy of worship we march to the sound of His beat. Not as women of the world but women of the Word.

Come, as our Lord Jesus Christ comes to meet with us. Let us stand shoulder to shoulder in triumph and celebration. Bring your needs, He will be there. Bring your worries and fears, He will be there. Bring your prayer requests, He will be there. The Lord of Hosts and Captain of the armies of Heaven will be there to enable and bless you His Soldier, Dressed to be Blessed.

We will have a hat contest (the most innovative hat) which can be pretty or comical. Ladies we are wearing hats for fun. You are invited to wear hat, heels, and gloves in a victorian, pollyanna, modern, or whatever you like fashion for fun at the banquet or if you prefer to dress down and just wear a hat for the banquet.

Friday night after service, we will enjoy snacks, fellowship and fun.

Please, help me out again this year by bringing a few door prizes. Women enjoy them so much. Thanks you so much for all your help.

"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." Jeremiah 29:11

Word Devotion 04/08/2010

(Jesus speaking) PEACE I leave with, MY PEACE I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 NKJV

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14 KJV

WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN WOMEN DARE TO...

Intercede and Pray? Read Hannah's story in 1Samuel 1 and 2:1-11. Hannah was barren and her heart's desire was to bear a son. Hannah's intercession was heard, her prayer was answered and her life was changed. Interestingly enough, not only was her life changed, but the lives of many whom she never knew. She named her son Samuel which means "heard" and "asked of God." A prophet, a priest, a judge, and an intercessor was born due to her intercession. Samuel's courageous leadership proved to be a turning point in the history of Israel. What will happen when we dare to pray? Intercessory prayer will change our lives and the lives of many others in our family, church, community, region, state and world. People will be saved, healed, delivered and set free! Revival will come!
I DARE YOU TO INTERCEDE AND PRAY!

Surrender? Read Mary's story in Luke 1:26-38. And Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me, according to thy word," v38. Mary simply surrendered to God's will... His purpose, His destiny and His will for her life! In the natural she didn't know how God was going to bring about the things spoken to her by the angel. Mary just trusted Him and SURRENDERED. We all sing the song, "I SURRENDER ALL...All to Thee my Blessed Savior, I surrender all." He desires for us to surrender all to Him - holding nothing back, nothing hidden, nothing in reserve. JESUS will be birthed in and through our lives so that our life will make a difference in the life of another. "For with God nothing shall be impossible," v37. God is able to bring about His purpose, His destiny and His will for each of us. Is it that He is just waiting for us to surrender.
I DARE YOU TO SURRENDER ALL!

Touch Him? Read the story of the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43-48. We all want Jesus to touch us, and He does and He will... But what will happen when we touch him? The woman with the issue of blood was no longer hidden in the crowd when she touched Jesus. She was considered an outcast in her day. She had an issue of blood. For 12 years she spend all she had on physicians. SHE SPENT ALL. Many of us know how she must have felt - We are spent out, exhausted, weak and weary because of our own "issues." No matter how she felt that day, feelings had nothing to do with it, because she was filled with faith. She said, "I WILL TOUCH HIM!" As she pressed toward Jesus, she thought to herself, "If I can but touch His robe, I will be healed." Jesus said, "Daughter your faith has made you well. Go in peace, your suffering is over" v48.
I DARE YOU TO TOUCH HIM!
