This collection of friendship Bible verses celebrates the blessings of God in the gift of true friendship.

True and Lasting Friendship Can Occur Suddenly
1 Samuel 18:1–3
After David had finished talking with Saul, he met Jonathan, the king’s son. There was an immediate bond between them, for Jonathan loved David.

Let us also pray for those who are seeking friends, saying thy have no friends……

Lord we thank YOU for our friends….we thank YOU for these Godly relationships…..we thank YOU Lord that we can talk so honestly with our friends without being judged……that we can trust them with anything. I pray also that we reach out to others that might not have a friend or many at all. I pray we all read in Your Word about being friends. Today Lord I am reading the story of a young man here in Albuquerque whose car caught on fire on the busy interstate and the interstate was full of cars…….but only one man stopped by to help this man in his burning car………let us show your love to all……In the name of Jesus Christ, AMEN!

I thank you all for being a Friend to me and Sharon and the kids and doggies! Love the picture of Charlie Brown and Snoopy!

Pastor Brenton Franks had this posted about Friends……..

old friend running (more like laboring to jog) up the street. He thought it peculiar but shrugged it off. The next day he saw the same thing…his friend slowly running up the street. The third day he couldn’t believe his eyes. His 75 year old friend was skipping like a school boy up the street. He couldn’t take it and went out to ask his friend what he was doing. Out of breath, the old fellow replied, “It’s this new medicine my doctor gave me. The instructions say ‘Take two days running then skip a day!’”

LOL! LOL! LOL!

Here is a note from our Friend Alan Autry……..

Hey Dewey! Thank you for all that you do and keep doing for the Kingdom. Been working hard on getting the financing for a slate of Faith based films. When it gets in place it would be an honor to announce it first on your show. Thank you again for your constant love and prayers. Your pal always, Alan
We are praying for you Alan! This is from Darlene Quiring......we have posted this a few times over the years.. It's one of my favorites! It is a shame but this message is very true. Hope you are all as blessed as I was by this story.
There once was a man named George Thomas, preacher in a small Texas town. 

One Sunday morning he came to the Church building carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit. Eyebrows were raised and, as if in response, the Preacher began to speak. . . .

I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a young boy coming toward me swinging this bird cage. On the bottom of the cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright.

I stopped the lad and asked, “What do you have there, son?” “Just some old birds,” came the reply.”What are you going to do with them?” I asked.

“Take ’em home and have fun with ’em,” he answered. “I’m gonna tease ’em and pull out their feathers to make ’em fight. I’m gonna have a real good time.”

But you’ll get tired of those birds sooner or later. What will you do then?”

“Oh, I got some cats,” said the little boy. “They like birds. I’ll take ’em to them.”

The preacher was silent for a moment. “How much do you want for those birds, son?” “Huh?? !!! Why, you don’t want them birds, mister. They’re just plain old

field birds. They don’t sing. They ain’t even pretty!””How much?” the preacher asked again. The boy sized up the preacher as if he were crazy and said, “$10?”

The preacher reached in his pocket and took out a ten dollar bill. He placed it in

the boy’s hand. In a flash, the boy was gone. The preacher picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree and a grassy spot.

Setting the cage down, he opened the door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them free. Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the preacher began to tell this story:

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come

from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. “Yes, sir, I just caught a world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn’t resist. Got ’em all!”

What are you going to do with them?” Jesus asked.

Satan replied, “Oh, I’m gonna have fun! I’m gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and

curse. I’m gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I’m really gonna have fun!”

“And what will you do when you are done with them?” Jesus asked.. “Oh, I’ll kill ’em,” Satan glared proudly.

“How much do you want for them?” Jesus asked.

“Oh, you don’t want those people. They ain’t no good. Why, you’ll take them and they’ll just hate you. They’ll spit on you, curse you and kill you.You don’t want those people!!”

“How much? He asked again.

Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, “All your blood, tears and your life.”

Jesus said, “DONE!” Then He paid the price.

The preacher picked up the cage and walked from the pulpit.

I thank God everyday for my blessed life. I’m not rich, don’t live in a mansion and don’t have the nicest of material things, but, I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food on my table and lifelong friends, to get me through. I’d say I have a lot to be thankful for.

Robin White sent this in...This is excellent written by Rose Shepherd..........

Before you connect yourself to someone or commit to anything in your life, value yourself and God's purpose & plan for you enough to look at the 5 things listed below. Your time and talent are valuable.

1. Look at the fruits of what follows that person and ask yourself where will they be leading you. Keep in mind NOT all open doors are from God.

2. Take a hard look at your future and ask yourself if they would help you find your purpose or delete/distract from what God may have for you.

3. Ask yourself "would I be growing in my walk with Christ by walking out life with this person or project? will my time and talent invested become a blessing to anyone other than myself?"

4. Before you walk away from where you are for a new venture PRAY HARD and count the cost of what you're leaving behind or giving up. When the beginning excitement phase is over is this something or someone that you would want to stay connected to when challenges arise?

5. Last... don't allow desperation to make a move to quickly... pray, seek wise counsel from those you trust. Then wait at least 30 days and see what God reveals before you invest your time and talent in anyone or anything.

Proverbs 4:26–27
Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don’t get sidetracked;
keep your feet from following evil.

Thank you for all you do to impact the children God has given us in the Philippines. May God bless you richly in return.

August 10, 2012. Imagine thinking like Jesus during your hard times. Imagine having such a change of mind that you enter into a hot pursuit of God and His will for the rest of your days instead of what you want. In so doing, you would become part of the new breed God is spawning for the move of God in revival and restoration as promised in Acts 3:19-21“Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.” Lean into your imagination and believe.

1 Peter 4:1-2 (MSG) “Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you’ll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want.” Ras Robinson

August 10, 2012. There have been some obstacles to your faith that have come lately. I know this has been a hard time. More than one thing has happened that has caused you stress. It feels like the bottom of the stress bucket has been unloaded on your head. Shake this stuff off. You can shake it all off on Me. Most of it you can’t do anything about except to pray. You’ve wondered recently if prayer works. Yes it does. Prayer is powerful. Pray, then trust Me and My will. Remain thankful that I will do what is best. Ask Me for wisdom about what to do. Do it…then leave it alone.

Philippians 4:6-7 (MSG) “Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.” Bev Robinson

August 10, 2012. Within you have I have put a strong desire to be loved and accepted for who you are, not for what you do. Know this My child, My love for you is unconditional. My tenderness, care and affection are yours to receive. Accept who I have made you to be. Know that you are perfect and complete, lacking in nothing through the blood of My Son. Your search for significance is found in Me. You’ve heard Me call your name in a quiet place, wondering who said your name? You are not hearing voices, you’re hearing Me! Come to Me. You are worthy to receive My love. Let Me love you.

1 Corinthians 8:3 (AMP) “But if one loves God truly [ with affectionate
reverence, prompt obedience, and grateful recognition of His blessing], he is known by God [ recognized as worthy of His intimacy and love, and
he is owned by Him].” Kevin Robinson

Here’s Doctor Joe……..

When you’re working to control your weight, here’s the classic formula for success: Eat less, move more.

But, if exercising tends to make you hungry, this may feel like a bit of a Catch-22. You’re watching what you eat. But, you also need food for energy — and to get the most out of your workouts.

So, how can you make your eating and exercise efforts work well together?

Here are seven simple strategies for you to fuel up wisely — for weight control, nutrition and fitness:

1. Think the “big picture”. Your overall diet is the most important. Focus on eating a variety of healthful foods each day. This is the best way to make sure your body has all the nutrients it needs to be strong and active.

2. Choose premium fuel. Most nutritious foods — such as fruit, veggies, whole grains and low-fat dairy products — are also relatively low in calories. So, you get the most nutritional bang for your buck.

3. Count on quality carbs. Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred fuel. And, your body stores some of this nutrient as glycogen — a kind of energy reserve for exercise.

Some folks think of carbs as just starchy, refined breads and pastas. But, you can get more healthful carbs from natural sources, including:
– Whole grains, such as oatmeal, brown rice, and whole-grain breads, pastas and cereals
– Fruits, such as oranges, bananas, melon and apples
– Veggies, such as carrots, beets, broccoli and sweet potatoes

4. Grab a power bite. If you regularly eat with nutrition in mind, you’ll likely have all the energy you need. But, before especially long workouts, a snack or small meal can help keep you from running on empty.

If you have three or four hours beforehand, go for a carb-based meal that includes a little protein. Some pre-workout ideas:
– Ezekiel bread toast and almond butter
– Turkey sandwich on Ezekiel bread — and an orange
– A fruit smoothie made with fat-free or Greek low-fat yogurt — and topped with low-fat granola
– Whole-grain cereal with almond or rice milk

Within an hour of a tough workout or a brisk walk, you can also give yourself a mini boost with an apple, a banana or other fruit.

5. Recover, replenish, restore. After a lengthy and challenging workout, a carb-protein snack combo — such as those above — can also help refuel and repair tired muscles.

6. Don’t give yourself a free pass. It’s great to be more active. But, don’t reward your efforts with overeating or sugary treats. Celebrate your fitness success with calorie-free treats, such as a soak in the tub or a favorite magazine or movie.

7. Water your workouts. Be sure to drink water before, during and after exercise.

Know what’s right for you – don’t compare yourself with others fitness or nutritional levels. Talk with your health care provider or a nutritionist if you have questions about your calorie needs — or what’s a healthy weight for you.

Have a safe and blessed weekend…stay hydrated, be active, and take your Fish Oil capsules.

“And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.” – Colossians 3:15

We have been praying for 27 year old Crystal who had her appendix burst and it caused her to become severely ill. Sadly,Crystal passed away yesterday afternoon. I talked and prayed with her Mother, Linda and family after getting off the air yesterday evening. The family was getting ready to go back to Espanola, NM to tell Crystal’s two young children that their Mother had passed onto Heaven. The family feels like their hearts have been ripped out. let us pray for Crystal’s children, husband, and entire family. Wrap the Love of Jesus Christ around them in your prayers.

We have been praying for Chuck Ring, former NM State Police Detective and now Edgewood, NM City Councilman. Chuck underwent successful back surgery yesterday. Thank You LORD!

Today is a FULL CUP, we are going to stir the pot a bit!!! LOL!!! Talking about a few things not talked about much in much of the Church anymore……..the Aaronic Blessing and the Blood of Jesus!

First I want to share with you that I will be gone next week and part of the following week and Karen Rowe will be filling in for me. Sharon and I are going back to Minnesota for the wedding of our niece Megan. Please pray for the Wedding and our travels.

Gretchen is traveling to Las Vegas and we are going to be flying into Mpls on Monday. Please pray.

Last night after work I went for a check up with Dr. Yvonne. My Blood pressure is excellent, all my pulses were AWESOME! What I mean by that is Dr. Yvonne is a Dr. of Homeopathic who checks the pulses of the liver, spleen, etc………I see so much benefit of this type of preventive health care. Acupuncture and Chiropractic care! Yes! The failure of American health care is that we go to the Doctor when we are sick…….no preventive care…and then when we go we get to take prescription drugs! UGH! We eat junk and expect good heath! UGH! Dr. Joe Fawcett has been instrumental in my health care along the way with recommendations on diet and herbal supplements. Take care of your Temple folks! It is so Biblical to take care of your Temple that the Lord has given you and yours! That is why we have Dr. Joe with us each day! PTL!!!

Last night I also spent time in prayer with John Taylor, the author of “Make My Life a Bible”.

I also spent time with my lovely Sharon as we talked about how the Lord is moving in our lives! Remember, Revival brings Holiness and Happiness into your home! Revival starts at home, with us!

The last few months the Lord has put the Aaronic Blessing and the Blood of Jesus on my heart! I have been studying on them.

I so much encourage you to take your time with this CUP! Sip it slow and easy………..save it, share it.

Yesterday on KKIM Pastor Mark Tross talked about the Aaronic Blessing……I love when Mark recites it!!! When he sings it, people always want more…….It brings much Peace and Comfort! I desire more of the Lord everyday. I picture His face shining down on me!

The Aaronic Blessing

“Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them, The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace” (Num. 6:23b–26).
– Numbers 6:22–27
Following his blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh, Jacob blessed his twelve sons, as recorded in Genesis 49.

Today we will look at perhaps the most famous blessing in the Bible — the Aaronic blessing found in Numbers 6:22–27. God’s people treasure these words for they have been used in worship under the old covenant as well as the new. Unfortunately, because these words are so familiar, it is easy to miss their theological depth.
Structurally, there is much that can be said of the Aaronic blessing in the original Hebrew. If we were to remove the three instances of “the Lord” (Yahweh) in the blessing, we would be left with twelve words in the original language, an intentional reference to the twelve tribes of Israel. Furthermore, this threefold repetition of the name Yahweh is not required; one usage of God’s name would have sufficed. But the Lord has His priests repeat His name to emphasize that He is the source of all goodness in life (James 1:17).
One of these good things is peace (Num. 6:26), which in Scripture refers to far more than just the cessation of conflict. It includes prosperity, children, security, land, happiness, health, and a host of other good things (Deut. 28:1–14). The emphasis on the Lord as the source of all these things, as noted above, is very powerful. Basically, God is saying, “My people, when you enjoy health, remember that My grace has given it to you. When you succeed, do not forget that I am its source. Recall that no good gift is possible without Me.”
Dr. R.C. Sproul turns to the Aaronic blessing as an expression of the hope that the Lord’s chosen will one day see His face (Essential Truths of the Christian Faith, p. 282). Our supreme longing is to experience the beatific vision — to see the Lord face-to-face as He shines His smile upon us (Num. 6:25). In like manner, John Calvin writes that “nothing is more desirable for the consummation of our happiness, than that we should behold the serene countenance of God.

Matthew Henry comments on this passage, saying that “we may take the blessing to ourselves, as if our names were inserted.” Think about it, the Lord our God, the Creator of all that is seen and unseen, seeks to bless His people. Everything good that comes your way comes from His hand, and one day, all in Christ will enjoy the splendor of His face. So, do not doubt that the Lord desires to bless you and tell others that His blessing is available to them in Christ.

Passages for Further Study

Ps. 103:1–5; 116:12–14
Hag. 2:19
Luke 7:23
1 Cor. 13:12

Not everyone knows what to think about The Aaronic Blessing, because of the lack of knowledge.

I love to learn……..I have been at KKIM for 6 1/2 years now and have written the CUP for years….WOW! What an education in our Lord! I have been around some of the best Bible Teachers in the World! I have been in seminary for YEARS!!!!

Now last week Pastor Paul Holt and Tom Lester, who traveled with Billy Graham and still Preaches, talked about the Power in the Blood of Jesus Christ with me on KKIM. Many do not Preach on that in this day because as Pastor Mark Tross says, “They do not want to appear crazy to the World!” Now I am going to post for you a study on the Blood Of Jesus Christ, it is long and detailed…….print it out and study it, pray over it, ask your Pastor questions, or email me your questions, see what the Lord will show you through reading this write up………….I am just remembering that Pastor Paul and Tom Lester started to sing that good ‘ol song about the Power of the Blood of Jesus………

I borrowed the following article from Bible-Knowledge.com. I could not have written a better article. Please visit their site. It is a very good source.
It is an excellent study guide on this very important subject.
How to Plead the Blood of Jesus
for Deliverance and Protection
by Bible-Knowledge.com
Many of the non-denominational churches talk about the power of Pleading the Blood of Jesus – but they do not tell you exactly how to do it, what to plead it on, what to plead it against, and how frequently you need to do it in order to get God’s maximum protection on you and your loved ones.
In this article, I will show you exactly how to plead the Blood, what to plead it on, some of things that you can plead it against, and how frequently you will need to plead it in order to get God’s maximum protection on you and your specific set of circumstances. I will also give you the Scriptural grounds that entitles all Christians to be able to use this form of offensive prayer.
I will also show you how to incorporate the Pleading of the Blood in your own personal battle prayers, which is when you will need God’s deliverance and/or healing power to come into any type of adverse situation that you may have just fallen into.
I will back all of this up with some very powerful testimonies involving myself and some of my personal friends, and how Pleading the Blood of Jesus helped rescue and deliver them out of some real dire predicaments. All of these stories will be in the “Testimonies” section of our website. The information in this article has been battle tested and battle proven.
In my own personal opinion – I believe that learning how to Plead the Blood of Jesus will give you one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful form of offensive prayer that you can use for any kind of deliverance and/or protection that you may need from the Lord.
This form of offensive prayer can not only be used to get God’s protection on you before any type of adversity ever strikes you, but it can also be used for physical, emotional, and mental healings, for battling demons, and for battling any kind of storm cloud that may have just come your way.
I believe that we are truly heading into end time waters as prophesied in the Bible. Learning how to properly Plead the Blood of Jesus for deliverance and protection is going to be needed by all Christians in order to help keep them out of harms way as things really start to heat up in the years ahead.
Too many Christians are getting robbed, raped, abducted, murdered, sexually and/or physically abused, slandered, cheated, scammed, etc. All you have to do is watch the daily news and it is one horror story after another.
I believe the number one reason why so many Christians are coming under such heavy attacks from both demons and evil people in this world is because they do not have God’s full protection on them. And the reason they do not have God’s full protection on them is because they have never been taught how to spiritually defend themselves using actual spiritual warfare techniques!
There are numerous verses in the Bible telling all of us that we are to be good soldiers of Jesus Christ and that we have to fight the good fight of faith. Like it or not, we are all living in a war zone as a result of the Adamic curse that is still in full operation on this earth. We are living in a fallen, imperfect, and cursed world that is subject to death, corruption, demonic spirits, and evil humans who have chosen with their own free wills to live this life on the dark side.
What this means is that anyone of us at anytime can come under direct human or demonic attack. Places where we thought we were safe are no longer safe. Criminals are getting more brazen and more evil. Children are literally getting abducted right out of their beds in the middle of the night with their parents and the other children in the house sleeping in the other rooms.
9/11 has forever changed our landscape as far as all Americans are concerned. Radical terrorists have now officially invaded our country and we will never know when or where the next attack will occur. The Bible has already warned us that evil, lawlessness, and immorality will abound in the end times.
There are verses telling us that in the end times men will become lovers of self, unholy, blasphemers, having no self-control and only living life for what they can get out of it. The Bible tells us that the love of many will grow cold during these times, and many people will only be out for themselves and for whatever pleasures they can get out of this life while they still can.
As a result of this kind of deterioration in man’s moral state, many people will become more impulsive, brazen, and evil. This may help explain why some of these evil people are literally kidnapping children right out of their beds or front yards while the parents or babysitters are still in the home. They are losing all self-control over their evil sick desires and impulses, and they are acting out on them without any thought of the consequences of their actions.
Since I really do feel that we have officially entered into end time waters as prophesied in the Bible, each Christian is going to have to make a big personal decision as to how they are going to live the rest of what time they still have left down here on this earth.
Christians can either choose to remain passive with their heads stuck in the sand, hoping that neither they nor any of their close loved ones will ever come under any kind of direct human or demonic attack – or they can choose to learn how to rise up in the power of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and learn how to spiritually defend themselves using spiritual warfare techniques as given to us out of the Bible!
When the enemy does come, and he will come at each one of us from time to time, you can either choose to run and hide hoping that you will somehow survive the attack and make it out in one piece – or you can choose to learn how to spiritually defend yourself and engage with the enemy head on like David did with Goliath.
The choice is yours. Too many Christians are taking the first approach, and they are literally getting killed and taken out of this life way too early. The pain, torment, and agony of losing loves ones, especially to any kind of violent crime, is beyond human comprehension.
Too many Christians are living defeated lives with no real joy, peace, or power in their lives. Storm cloud after storm cloud keeps coming after them beating them down to a pulp. Many Christians, since they have not been properly taught how to engage with the enemy when he does come their way, are drowning in their sea of troubles.
Too many Christians could not pray their way out of a paper sack if they ever got caught in one because they have never established any kind of personal relationship with the Lord, have never developed any real working knowledge from His Word, have no real knowledge of the enemy, his tactics, and how he operates – and have no real knowledge on how to properly pray or stand in the gap for someone else to get God to move in with His supernatural power to bring freedom, healing, or deliverance to a particular situation.
In my opinion, and from the personal experiences that I have had with this form of offensive prayer, I believe that learning how to Plead the Blood of Jesus may be one of the greatest, offensive, spiritual weapons that you can have in your arsenal.
As you will see in the personal testimony section of our site, complete and total victory was granted to each person who had Pleaded the Blood of Jesus on their specific set of circumstances. And in most of the cases, the victory was granted very quickly! This is how powerful this form of offensive prayer really is.
For those of you who really want to learn how to arm and defend both yourself and your close loved ones when these attacks do come your way, read on. For those of you who will choose to remain passive hoping that nothing bad will ever come your way, at least keep this article on the shelf in the event that any serious adversity ever does strike you or any of your close loved ones down the road.
Before I go into exactly how to Plead the Blood of Jesus and all of the different things that you can Plead the blood against, I will first give you the Scriptural grounds that entitles all Christians to be able to use this form of offensive prayer.

Scriptural Grounds for Pleading
the Blood of Jesus
There are many Christians who attack this form of prayer. They ask where in Scripture is there proof that we can use this kind of prayer for either protection or deliverance when we will really need it. There was no evidence that the early apostles ever pled the blood to heal, to cast out demons, or to get God’s basic protection on them.
I believe there are three specific things contained in the Blood of Jesus – forgiveness, deliverance, and protection. Many Christians only know about the first one – forgiveness. They have no idea there are two other things available to them that will enable them to live a victorious and overcoming life in the Lord while still living down here on this earth. Here is a brief discussion on each one of these three things.
1. Forgiveness
As Christians, we all know there is definitely forgiveness in the Blood of Jesus. This is the basic central message of true Christianity – that God the Father sent His one and only begotten Son Jesus Christ down to our earth in the flesh to physically die on a cross in order to save us and give us total and permanent forgiveness for all of our sins.
Without Jesus dying and shedding His blood on the cross, there would be no forgiveness and remission of any of our sins. Here are some extremely powerful verses from Scripture specifically telling us this:

1. “For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” (Matthew 26:28)
2. “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
3. “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been made near by the blood of Christ.” (Ephesians 2:13)
4. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood … for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.” (Leviticus 17:11)

Notice the emphasis on the word “blood” in these verses. There is no question that in these verses, and others in the Bible, that the blood that Jesus personally shed for us on the cross is what leads all of us to be able to receive eternal salvation, the forgiveness of all of our sins, and entrance into heaven when we die and cross over.
2. Deliverance

Now what are the Scriptural grounds that will give us the legal right to be able to use the blood of Jesus when taking on any attacks that may come our way? As you will see in some of the stories in the Testimonies section of our site, you can Plead the Blood of Jesus against specific types of attacks such as attacks from demons or other evil people, any kind of physical illness or disease, or any kinds of addictions like drugs and alcohol.
Many Christians are not aware of this second component that is in the Blood of Jesus which will entitle us to be able to use His Blood to go on the offensive against any adversity that may come our way.
Something else happened that day when Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins. The Bible tells us that Jesus also defeated Satan and all of the powers of darkness that day! Here are several good verses from Scripture proving this point to you:

1. “… that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” (Hebrews 2:14)
2. “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:13)
3. “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” (Colossians 2:15)
4. “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8)
5. “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” (Revelation 12:11)

What defeated Satan and all his dark powers? The physical death of Jesus on the cross. And what did Jesus do when He died that day on the cross for all of us? He shed His Blood!
This is why Pleading the Blood of Jesus works so well in real life combat situations when it really is needed to defeat attacks that are coming against us from the dark side.
Many Christians are not fully aware of this second fact about the Blood of Jesus – that the Blood of Jesus can also be used to engage with our enemies when they do try to launch any kind of an attack against us. I believe that all of the above Scripture verses definitely tell us that the blood that Jesus shed that day on the cross has totally defeated Satan and all of his dark powers.
The only thing left is for all Christians to fully realize this incredible fact, and to grab a hold of this powerful truth and not to be afraid to use when they need it – especially when demons or other evil people are attempting to come against them with any type of unjust action or attack.
Here are four more good powerful verses from Scripture showing that all Christians now have God’s supernatural power and anointing available to them so they can use it to engage with the dark side of this life:
“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19)
Notice in this verse we have God’s power over all the power of our enemies, not just against some or part of their powers. This means we have the ability to come out completely victorious in some of life’s battles and struggles, but only if we learn how to properly use what is now available to us.
“Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” (Luke 9:1)
Notice in this verse that Jesus gives the twelve apostles power over all demons, not just some of them. If we have God’s power available to us to defeat all demons, then I believe that we also have God’s power to defeat any and all humans who may try to come against us with any type of unjust action or attack.
“… but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” (Daniel 11:32)
“Knowing their God” means that we have spent good quality time in establishing a good personal relationship with the Lord. If we do this, then this verse is telling us that God will strengthen and empower us when we need His power to be able to carry out great exploits and great adventures for Him.
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9)
This verse is telling us that God is actually looking for people that He can anoint with His power and show Himself strong through, but the implication appears to be that He really cannot find many people who are willing to pay the price to be able to really walk with His anointing.
As you can see from the way all of the above Scripture verses are worded – true Christianity is not a weak, wimpy, or passive religion. As born-again believers, we all have the Holy Spirit literally living on the inside of us.
As a result, our bodies have now become the actual temple of the Holy Spirit. His supernatural power is now fully available to all of us in order to help us handle some of the storm clouds that can come against us in this life.
Learning how to properly Plead the Blood of Jesus for any deliverance and protection that you may need is just one part of our arsenal. I will be doing other articles in the near future covering some of the other aspects on this part of our walk with the Lord.
3. Protection
As you will see in the next section, you can also Plead the Blood of Jesus on specific things that you will want protected before any kind of adversity could strike them – like your body, house, car, and finances.
The goal is to Plead the Blood of Jesus on those things in order to protect you before any kind of adversity could ever come your way.
If the above verses are showing us that we can Plead the Blood of Jesus against any attacks that may have already come our way, then I believe it only stands to reason that we can also go one step further with the Blood of Jesus – and that is to use it for protection before any kind of attack could actually come our way. In this case, you simply Plead the Blood of Jesus on whatever you want God’s full protection on before any attacks could possibly come your way.
I believe there is something else in the Bible that gives us another clue that entitles us to be able to Plead the Blood for this specific purpose. In the Old Testament, God the Father had it arranged with His chosen people, the Jews, that in order for them to be able to enter into a covenant relationship with Him, they had to have some kind of temporary covering for their sins. Jesus had not come yet, so there was no full remission for any of the sins that had occurred back at that time.
What God the Father had set up was the sacrifice of blemish-free animals such as bulls, goats and lambs. Their blood had to be shed once per year on what was called the Day of Atonement. The shedding of these animals blood was what gave the Jewish people a temporary covering for their sins so they could then enter into a personal relationship with God the Father.
This is why Jesus is called the “Lamb of God.” He is an extension of the lambs used by His Father in the Old Testament to give the Jewish people a temporary covering for their sins. Once Jesus had come to shed His own blood on the cross, there was no more need for any more animal sacrifices. His death on the cross had completed and fulfilled what His Father had started in the Old Testament with the sacrifice of these animals.
Now watch this analogy. In the shedding of the lamb’s blood on the Day of Atonement, there was a temporary covering for the sins of the Jewish people. Then Jesus comes in the New Testament, and the shedding of His blood now gives all believers complete and total forgiveness for all of their sins.
Now here is where I feel that something else occurred back in the Old Testament that may entitle us to be able to use the Blood of Jesus for divine protection. In the story of the Passover, God had sent His servant Moses to rescue the children of Israel from their captivity to the Egyptians. God had thrown ten whopper plagues at the Pharaoh in an effort to try and get him to release His people from his rule.
On one of those plagues, God tells Pharaoh that He is going to allow an angel of death to come through their camp to kill all of their firstborn children. However, before God sets all of this up to occur, He tells His own people to shed the blood of a blemish-free lamb and to put that shed blood on the door posts and lintels of their houses.
God tells His people that the angel of death will bypass their house if he sees this shed blood put on their door posts and lintels. This angel of death will thus not kill any of the Israelite’s firstborn – but only if he sees the blood properly applied to the door posts and lintels of their houses.
In other words, the blood of this blemish-free lamb was being used for divine protection before this attack would ever come their way. Had each person not properly applied this blood on their door posts, their firstborn children would have also been killed, along with the rest of the firstborn children of the Egyptians.
Here is my argument on this:
If the shed blood of the Old Testament lambs used for the temporary covering of sins eventually leads to the shedding of Jesus’ blood for permanent and total forgiveness of all of our sins – can we also use that same analogy and say that the shed blood of the lambs used in the Passover for divine protection could also lead to the shed Blood of Jesus having divine protection in it?
I personally believe the answer is yes, and that is why God the Father seems willing to work with any believer who will plead the blood of Jesus on whatever they want protection on before any attack can come their way – just like He did in the story of the Passover with His own chosen people.
Before I go into the specifics on how to Plead the Blood of Jesus for deliverance and protection, there is one more area that each Christian must make a big personal decision on before God will give you this kind of full divine protection.
Saved and Surrendered
In order to be able to Plead the Blood of Jesus for any kind of deliverance or protection you may need, there are two requirements that must be met.
1. Saved
You must be a saved and born-again Christian. A nonbeliever cannot use the blood of Jesus. In the story of the Passover, only God’s chosen people were allowed to apply the blood of the lamb on their door posts to get His full protection on them.
It is the same way in the New Testament. Only born-again, Christian believers can use the blood of Jesus for deliverance and protection.
2. The Full Surrender
However, for those who are already saved and born-again Christians, there is now one more big thing that you will have to do before you can start to get God’s best to start flowing into your life – which will include getting His maximum protection on you and your life. And that is to be willing to make a full and complete surrender of your entire being and your entire life over to God the Father.
You have to be both saved and surrendered in order to be able to step from the dugout out onto the real playing field where the real walk with the Lord is really at. God is wanting you to fully surrender four specific things to Him:

• Your body
• Your soul
• Your spirit
• Your entire life

The Bible tells us that we have three parts to our beings – body, soul and spirit. God wants all three parts of our being completely surrendered over to Him. The fourth thing that God will also want from you is for you to fully surrender your entire life over to Him. And when I say entire life, I mean literally everything in your life.
The Bible tells us that with the measure we use, will be the measure that will be measured back to us. In other words, if you want God’s best to start flowing into your life, then you will have to give God your personal best – and your personal best is being willing to fully surrender every part of your being and every part of your life over to the Lord for His full direction and handling. It’s your all for His all.
This full surrender to the Lord is where many Christians are really missing the boat with Him. They are saved through the blood of Jesus, but they are not walking in this full surrender with God the Father. As a result, God is not working full force in their lives. The only way to get God to start working full force in your life is to come under a complete and full surrender with Him.
Bottom line – God’s knowledge and wisdom is perfect on all matters – yours is not! God can see into the future and knows exactly what is going to happen to you – you cannot. God knows you better than you can ever know yourself, and as a result, He knows what your true potential and capabilities are going to be in this life – you do not.
Your powers are limited, but God’s powers are not. The Bible tells us that God is all-powerful and that there is nothing that He cannot do or accomplish. Nothing is impossible with God.
After chewing on all of the above, who do you want running your life? Yourself, with your limited powers, wisdom, and knowledge – or God the Father, who has maximum power and knowledge to do and accomplish anything He will want to do?
This lack of a full surrender to God the Father is what is getting so many Christians beat to a pulp in the playing field of life. They do not have God’s full protection on them, and as a result, they are coming under severe attacks from demons, evil people, and just some of the natural cause and effects that can occur at a moment’s notice such as different kinds of accidents, catastrophes, mishaps, and illnesses that can hit anyone of us at anytime.
Without God’s maximum protection, anyone of us can get hit by these types of severe storm clouds. Only God’s divine protection can keep you safe and out of harms way from some of these types of storm clouds. And the only way to get God’s maximum protection on you and your life is to come under this full and complete surrender with Him.
If you want to take this last and final step with the Lord, then I can give you a very short, but powerful prayer to go to God the Father with to come into this full surrender with Him.
This prayer should be said at least once or twice a week after you do it the first time. You need to show God that you mean serious business with Him on this, and by continuing to recite this prayer back to Him on a once or twice per year basis, you will be showing Him that you are really serious about this full surrender, and that you will continue to let Him have full control of your entire life for the rest of your earthly life.
I will give you both parts of this prayer – the initial prayer that you will go to God the Father with to make the initial full surrender, and then the second part of this prayer that will continue to keep you under this full surrender with the Lord for the rest of your earthly life.
A) The Full Surrender Prayer
“Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus Christ, I now place my body, my soul, my spirit, and my entire life into Your hands. I now ask that You place me into Your perfect will for my life. From this moment on, I will choose to stay fully surrendered to You all the days of my life and will allow You to lead and direct my life in the direction that You will want it to go in.
Thank you Father.
Thank you Jesus.”
B) To Stay in the Full Surrender
“Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, I continue to place my body, my soul, my spirit, and my entire life in Your hands. I choose to stay fully surrendered to You all the days of my life and ask that you continue to keep me in Your perfect will for my life.
Thank you Father.
Thank you Jesus.”
The above prayer is short, sweet, and simple, but extremely powerful! With this prayer, you have now just turned the reigns of your life over to God the Father – and He will now start to guide and direct your life in the direction that He will want it to go in. God now has a perfect plan and destiny all set up for your life.
If you would like more information on this full surrender and all of the Scripture verses to back it up, we have another article in the Bible Basics section of our site with this exact title – “The Full Surrender.”
If you are willing to make this full surrender with God the Father, then you are now ready for the next big step, and that is to learn how to Plead the Blood of Jesus for His deliverance and protection.
There are two ways that you will use the Pleading of His Blood. One is for protection – where you will Plead the Blood of Jesus on whatever you want protected before any attacks or adversity could come your way. By Pleading the Blood of Jesus on the things that you want specifically protected, you will go a long way in preventing a lot of needless attacks, mishaps, and accidents from ever coming your way in the first place. This is preventative medicine at its best.
The second way that you will use the Pleading of His Blood is for deliverance – where you have already been hit by some kind of adversity, and now you will need God’s deliverance and/or healing power to help set you free.
I will first show you how to Plead the Blood of Jesus for basic protection.
How to Plead the Blood of Jesus for Protection
The first thing you are going to want to do is make a personal list of everything that you would like to have God’s protection on. These are what I call the basics. I will give you my recommendations as to what some of these basic things should be. You will then have to add your own personal things to this list to properly complete it.
1. The Basics
The basic things that you will want covered under the Blood of Jesus for His divine protection are the following:

1. Your body, soul, and spirit
2. Your house
3. Your car
4. Your finances
5. Your office – if you work
6. Your spouse and children if you are married

Any one of these could come under demonic or human attack at any time. Pleading the Blood of Jesus on your car will help prevent you from getting into any type of serious auto accidents, along with helping to prevent any type of break-ins or theft of your car.
Pleading the Blood of Jesus on your finances will help protect you from all of the scammers and con artists who are out there trying to scam and steal all of your hard earned money. Identity theft has become a major problem in our country. Pleading the blood of Jesus on all of your credit cards and bank accounts will stop thieves dead in their tracks if they try and target you for identity theft.
Pleading the Blood of Jesus on your house and office building will help protect you against any fires, break-ins, burglaries, natural catastrophes, or any type of bad accidents.
Pleading the Blood on all of your children will help protect them from any possible abductions, serious accidents, or life-threatening illnesses. I do not have to tell you how many sexual predators that are out there looking for their next victim. Literally a day does not go by when someone is not getting abducted, robbed, raped, or murdered.
Pleading the Blood of Jesus on your own body, soul, and spirit will also help keep you personally protected from all of the above.
I could go on and on with the number of bad things that could happen to either you, your children, or your spouse.
Bottom line – only God knows when any attack will be coming your way, and only God can protect and shield you from these attacks before they do come. And the way that you can get God to move in with His full divine protection before any of these attacks can come your way is by Pleading the Blood of Jesus on each of the specific things that you will want protected.
Here is how to specifically Plead the Blood on each of the above items.
2. Pleading the Blood on the Basics
In order to get God’s full protection on something, you have to do the following three things:

1. Plead the Blood on the object that you want protected.
2. Plead the Blood against whatever possibly could come against that object.
3. Then seal the prayer with a statement of faith and belief to God the Father telling Him that you are now going to have full faith and belief that He will now protect you from all of the things that you just Pled the Blood of His Son on.

Here is a sample prayer on how to Plead the Blood of Jesus on your body, soul, and spirit:
“Heavenly Father,
Father, in the name of Jesus, I now plead the Blood of Jesus over every inch of my physical body, over every inch my soul, and over ever inch of my spirit. I now plead the Blood of Jesus against any demons who may try and come against me. I now Plead the Blood of Jesus against any bad and evil people who may try and come against me.
I now plead the Blood of Jesus against any natural accidents or catastrophes that may come against me. I now plead the Blood of Jesus against any diseases, viruses, or illnesses that could possibly come against me.
Father, in the name of Jesus, I now have full faith and belief that the Blood of Jesus will now fully protect me against all of the things that I have just Pled His Blood on.
Thank you Father.
Thank you Jesus.”
This prayer is short, sweet, simple and straight to the point. You can add whatever else you want in the prayer that will fit your own personal set of circumstances.
You will have to Plead the Blood of Jesus on each of the above six items to get God’s full protection on it. You have to be very specific on the things that you will want covered and protected under His Blood. This is why each of you will have to make up your own personal list.
The above six items should be absolute minimums. When you Plead the Blood on the other five items, just substitute the appropriate wording on the next item that you are Pleading the Blood on. When Pleading the Blood on the basics, you can choose to either say the prayer out loud or silently to yourself, which ever way you would be more comfortable with.
3. The Index Card
What I have found to be very helpful is to write all of the above down on an index card. Here is my recommendation:
a) Take an index card and write at the top of it the words “Pleading the Blood of Jesus.” This way you know this card is for Pleading the Blood of Jesus.
b) On the front of the card, write down and number each of the items that you want protected under the Blood of Jesus. The six items mentioned above should all be on this list. Then write down anything else that you will want covered and protected under His Blood.
c) Then write on the back of the card the blood prayer itself as worded above. You can use a “fill in the blanks system” on the back of the card since you will be Pleading the Blood on different things. You can write the following on the back of the card:
“Father,
in the name of Jesus, I now plead the Blood of Jesus on …………. I now Plead the Blood of Jesus against …………….
Father, in the name of Jesus, I have full faith and belief that the Blood of Jesus will protect me against any of the things that I have just Pled His Blood on.
Thank you Father.
Thank you Jesus.”
On one little index card, you will have everything you need on how to properly Plead the Blood of Jesus on whatever it is that you want His protection on. You will have all of the basics as to what needs to be covered with the Blood in your life on the front of the card, and then the exact prayer written on the back as to how to properly Plead the Blood on each of those basic things.
4. Frequency
How often will you have to Plead the Blood of Jesus on all of the above in order to get God’s maximum protection on these things? Through personal trial and error with the Lord on all of this, I have found out that in my own personal life, that I have to Plead the Blood of Jesus on all of the above items on a once per month basis.
You may each have to find your own personal frequency factor with the Lord on how often to Plead the Blood on all of the above. But do not be surprised if God does not tell you the same thing – once per month.
I have personally found out the hard way that if I want God’s full protection on all of the above items – that I have to Plead the Blood on the night before the beginning of the next month. In other words, if I want God’s protection for the month of May, then I have to Plead the Blood on all of the above on the last day of April.
I have been burned several times when I forgot to do this and was subjected to several abnormal attacks on the first day of that new month. It would be like a football player forgetting to put his helmet on for even one play. Not having his helmet on for even that one play could get him killed due to the intensity of the game that he is playing.
5. Applying a Bloodline
Here is another thing that you can do, especially for those of you who own a house with property surrounding it. You can walk around the entire property Pleading the Blood of Jesus as you walk completely around it in a circle. What you are doing is applying a Bloodline around your property.
I have read of cases where Christian farmers have done this to protect their livestock and flock from attacks from wild predators. In one case in particular, a farmer was having a problem with some of his farm animals being killed by a wild wolf. He went ahead and applied a Bloodline around his entire property. When he woke up the next day, he found a dead wolf lying about two feet passed the point where he had just pleaded the Blood over the day before.
In other words, the wolf had crossed over about two feet into the farmer’s territory and had crossed the Bloodline. The wolf was stricken dead as soon as he crossed this Bloodline. The farmer had no more problems with any of his animals being killed after that one wolf had been struck down.
Pleading the Blood and applying a Bloodline around your house and property can also help protect you from earthquakes or tornadoes. There have been documented cases out in California where some Christian families had Pleaded the Blood over their houses and property. An earthquake had then hit the entire area. All of the houses in their subdivision had sustained some type of damage from the earthquake, but there was no damage whatsoever to the houses that had the Blood of Jesus pled on them by the Christian families!
6. Trains and Planes
Another area in which you can Plead the Blood on is whenever you are getting ready to get on a train or plane to go out of town. Simply Plead the Blood on the train or plane either right before you get ready to board it, or do it the night before. I do not have to tell you how many plane wrecks we have seen over the last 5-10 years. Better to be safe than sorry on this issue.
Now I will show you how to Plead the Blood of Jesus for any actual deliverance that you may need if by chance you have been caught up in a nasty storm cloud.
How to Plead the Blood
of Jesus for Deliverance
It gets a little trickier when Pleading the Blood against something that may have already come against you. These are what I call battle situations.
You, or someone else you know, may have just been hit with a life-threatening illness or disease such as cancer. You may know someone who is an alcoholic or drug addict and they cannot seem to break free from it. You may know someone else who is severely depressed and they are seriously contemplating suicide. Another person may be under severe demonic attack as a result of engaging in some type of occult activity.
There are a million and one things that could come against anyone of us at any time. If something has already come directly against you and you are now caught in its evil grip, then you are now going to have to go on the offensive and try to take it out by Pleading the Blood of Jesus directly against it!
When you run across a situation that will need God’s supernatural power to fully deliver you, you will usually need some kind of battle strategy in which to war against it.
The person may not be saved and you may have to get them saved before God can move in to deliver them. Another person may be saved, but not walking in a full surrender with the Lord, and you may have to get that person to commit to making a full surrender before God will move in to help them out.
This is where the Holy Spirit is really going to be coming in big time. Depending on the kind of predicament you are dealing with, you will have to be totally guided and led by the Holy Spirit as to how to handle each one of these battle situations. Each one of these battle situations are completely unique and different. No two battle situations are ever alike. This is why you are going to have to be totally dependent on the Holy Spirit on how to handle each one of these battle situations.
And this will now lead us right into the next section, the personal testimonies of our website where I have written up some of the victories that have been obtained by giving the appropriate battle advice on each one of these unique and different battle situations. As you will see as I explain what happened on each case, I always go the Lord in prayer first and ask Him how He wants me to handle each one of these unique battle situations.
I also give you some of the specific battle prayers that I gave to some of these people to help get them delivered out of some real nasty predicaments. As you review each one of these testimonies, you will then get an idea on how to handle something that may have already come against you where you will need God’s deliverance and/or healing power to help get you out of it.
All of these powerful testimonies have one major thing in common – and this is where many Christians are really missing out on being able to get delivered from some of their bad predicaments – and that one common denominator is that all of these people had to be taught how to go on the offensive against whatever adversity had just come their way.
Too many Christians are way too passive when confronted with any type of severe adversity. The Bible tells us that all Christians carry the power of God on the inside of them through the Holy Spirit. The Bible tells us that we are all soldiers of Jesus Christ. If God is telling us that we are all good soldiers of His Son Jesus Christ, then this means we all have His power at our disposal in which to engage and defeat any enemy that may try and come against us.
The problem is that most Christians have never been taught how to go on the offensive when the enemy does launch an all-out, full scale attack against them. Most Christians have never been taught how to use spiritual warfare so they can directly engage with an enemy head on like David did with Goliath. As a result, many Christians are literally getting their heads knocked off in the arena of life when adversity does come knocking on their doors.
This article, and the “Testimonies” section of our website, will attempt to show you how to use one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful form of spiritual warfare to take on any enemy and come out completely victorious – and that is learning how to Plead the Blood of Jesus Christ directly against whatever adversity may have just come your way.
Before you go into the actual testimonies, let me give you some major power verses from the Bible showing you that all Christians carry the power of God on the inside of them through the Person of the Holy Spirit. And if God is empowering all of us with His divine power, then He is obviously going to want us to do something with it – and that is to use it when we will need it!
‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)
This one little verse should be memorized by all Christians. In one powerful sentence, God is telling us that things get accomplished not by our power or by our might, but by the power of the Holy Spirit.

1. “But you shall receive POWER when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
   
2. “For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in POWER, and in the Holy Spirit …” (1 Thessalonians 1:5)
   
3. “For the kingdom of God is not in word but in POWER.” (1 Corinthians 4:20)
   
4. “… in mighty signs and wonders, by the POWER of the Spirit of God …” (Romans 15:19)

These verses are talking about the signs and wonders that the early apostles walked with. These verses are specifically telling us that all of the signs and wonders that were done by the early apostles were done by the power of the Holy Spirit. And if we have the same Holy Spirit that the early apostles did, then we too are capable of having God manifest His power to us through the Holy Spirit like He did with them.
The Bible tells us that God is no respecter of persons – which means what He will do for one, He will do for another.

1. “And with GREAT POWER the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.” (Acts 4:33)
   
2. “I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

Notice the word “all” – that there is nothing that God cannot do through you or for you if He should choose to do so.
“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy, and NOTHING shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19)
I am repeating this verse once again. Again, notice Jesus is telling the apostles they will have His power to defeat all of the power of their enemies and that nothing shall be able to hurt them! This verse should burned into all of our memory banks so that we never, ever forget who we serve and follow in this life, and how powerful our Lord really is!
This one verse is telling us that we all have God’s supernatural power and authority operating through us. We just have to learn how to walk and flow with God’s power that has been made available to all of us through the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for all you do to impact the children God has given us in the Philippines. God bless you.

August 9, 2012. Oh, this season you are about to witness is going to change everything. Many have experienced meeting Jesus, but there is blindness and deafness everywhere. You cannot see. You cannot hear and feel what I am feeling. Your senses have been dulled by the noise of the world and the fleshly ways of your nation. Few can see with My eyes, feel with My heart or hear the cry of My heart for you. I tell you today, I am sending renewed teams to your scene, filled and running over with My fresh anointing and power. A great move of God has begun and nothing can stop it.

Acts 9:17 (MSG) “So Ananias went and found the house, placed his hands on blind Saul, and said, “Brother Saul, the Master sent me, the same Jesus you saw on your way here. He sent me so you could see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Ras Robinson

August 9, 2012. An opportunity for change is soon coming. You won’t recognize it at first but there will be a time when you realize what is happening. At the time you will have opportunity to choose. The choices will be diametrically opposite, maybe more than you want to consider at first but don’t turn away too quickly. Lay the options out before Me very carefully and wait. You need wisdom before you make these choices or there is something you will miss and regret later. Rely totally on Me and I will show you a clear way to go. You won’t have to wonder with hind sight if it was right.

Isaiah 40:31 (AMP) “But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and
hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up
to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” Bev Robinson

August 9, 2012. Today is my precious wife Jeanette’s birthday. What a blessing she is to me and the body of Christ. Her motivational spiritual gift is mercy. She has the ability to empathize with people like no one I’ve ever known. She has a unique way of comforting individuals by her gentle touch, sweet smile, and warm heart. The Lord says, “You have a distinctive way of affecting those around you with the gifts I have given you. Be about being a blessing to people by demonstrating the love I have to give. In whatever gift I have bestowed upon you, make use of those giftings to bring glory to Me.”

1 John 4:7 (AMP) “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize
and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him].” Kevin Robinson

Surprising Signs of an Unhealthy Heart
We’ve all read the signs of a heart attack listed on posters in the hospital waiting room. But what if there were other, earlier signs that could alert you ahead of time that your heart was in trouble?

It turns out there are. Researchers have done a lot of work in recent years looking at the signs and symptoms patients experienced in the months or even years leading up to a heart attack. “The heart, together with the arteries that feed it, is one big muscle, and when it starts to fail the symptoms can show up in many parts of the body,” says cardiologist Jonathan Goldstein of Saint Michael’s Medical Center in Newark, New Jersey. Here are seven surprising clues that your heart needs a check. Any of these signs — and particularly two or more together — should send you to the doctor for tests.

1. Sexual problems
Something cardiologists know but the average guy doesn’t: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the best early tip-offs to progressive heart disease. “Today, any patient who comes in with ED should be considered a cardiovascular patient until proven otherwise,” says Goldstein. In women, reduced blood flow to the genital area can impede arousal, make it harder to reach orgasm, or make orgasms less satisfying.

Scary stat: Researchers at the Mayo clinic followed men ages 40-49 with erectile dysfunction and found they were twice as likely to develop heart disease as those with no sexual health problems. Another study looked backward and found that two out of three men being treated for cardiovascular disease had suffered from erectile dysfunction, often for years, before they were diagnosed with heart trouble.

Why it happens: Narrowing and hardening of the arteries restricts blood flow to the penis, which can give men trouble when it comes to getting or keeping an erection. And because those arteries are smaller than the ones leading to the heart, erectile dysfunction can occur before any other sign of artery stiffness. Lack of oxygen can also lead to ongoing fatigue and weakness, which can sabotage libido, so lack of desire may accompany lack of success.

What to do: If you or your partner has difficulty getting or maintaining an erection or has problems with sexual satisfaction, that’s reason enough to visit your doctor to investigate cardiovascular disease as an underlying cause. Get a full workup to assess possible causes of erectile dysfunction or difficulty with orgasm. (Guys, see your GP, not just an urologist; gals, don’t just see an ob/gyn.) If your doctor doesn’t mention heart tests, request them.

2. Snoring, sleep apnea, and other breathing problems during sleep
If you snore loudly enough to keep your sleeping partner awake or to force him or her to resort to earplugs, your heart may be at risk as well. Restricted breathing during sleep — the underlying cause of snoring — is linked with all types of cardiovascular disease. Sleep apnea, in which breathing briefly stops during sleep, is linked with a higher risk of both cardiovascular disease and heart attack.

Scary stat: Those with sleep apnea were found to have three times the normal risk of having a heart attack within five years.

Why it happens: Sleep-disordered breathing, which includes sleep apnea and a lesser condition known as UARS, lowers the blood oxygen that feeds the heart. Obstructive sleep apnea is thought to damage the right side of the heart, which has to pump harder to support the lungs, which are strained by trying to overcome the airway obstruction.

What to do: Any sleep-related breathing problem is a clue that something’s wrong, so call the doctor. She may recommend a sleep study, but get your heart checked out too. I have a dear friend that I’ve known since 1965, who specializes in “dental sleep medicine”. Check out his very informative web site: http://www.shermansleepdentist.com/

3. Sore, swollen or bleeding gums
Sore, swollen, or bleeding gums are symptoms not only of periodontal disease — in which exposure to bacteria causes the gums to become inflamed and pull away from the teeth — but also a possible early sign of underlying cardiovascular disease.

Scary stat: A 2010 study by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) estimated that the prevalence of periodontal disease may be underestimated by as much as 50%.

Why it happens: Experts believe that poor circulation due to heart disease could be an underlying cause of periodontal disease. Researchers are also studying whether a common bacteria is involved in both gum disease and plaque buildup inside coronary arteries. The link may also have something to do with the body’s response to prolonged inflammation.

What to do: See a dentist to treat gum disease and prevent the presence of bacteria. Because gum disease can be a red flag for inflammation and circulatory problems, ask your doctor if ongoing gum symptoms warrant a checkup.

4. Puffy or swollen legs or feet
If you notice that your feet swell enough to make your shoes tight; your ankles, wrists, or fingers are noticeably puffy; or there are deep pressure marks or indents when you take off socks or hose, you may have a problem with fluid retention. Also called edema, fluid retention can be a sign of coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, and other forms of cardiovascular disease.

Scary stat: More than 80 million people have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease, and approximately 900,000 people die from it each year.

Why it happens: Fluid retention occurs when the heart doesn’t pump strongly enough and blood doesn’t carry waste products away from tissues. Edema usually starts in the feet, ankles, fingers, hands, and legs because they’re furthest from the heart, where circulation is poorer.

What to do: Report problems with edema to your doctor, who can run tests that may indicate CAD and can determine if your heart function is normal.

5. Irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia
An early sign that something in the cardiovascular system is out of whack is irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia. It may feel like your heart is skipping beats, beating too fast, or pounding too hard.

Scary stat: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of sudden death for both men and women because it can lead to both heart attack and stroke.

Why it happens: The most common cause of irregular heartbeat is CAD, which restricts blood flow to the heart, straining the electrical system that keeps the heartbeat regular and coordinates it with other functions. Heart failure can also cause arrhythmias because the weakened heart overcompensates by beating harder and faster.

What to do: An EKG can measure the electrical activity of your heart, including the regularity of the heartbeat. A stress test, which measures your heart rate while you walk on a treadmill, can determine if your heart is pumping properly.

6. Constriction or aching in the chest or shoulder
The most common symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD) is angina, a type of chest pain. Angina (officially called angina pectoris) is different from the sharp clutching pain of a heart attack; it’s likely to feel like a deep ache or a constriction or weight on the chest, and it may worsen when you draw in a breath. One of the reasons angina is often missed is that it feels different to different people; to some it’s more of a heaviness, fullness, or pressure rather than pain. It can also be mistaken for indigestion or heartburn when the pain occurs lower down in the abdominal area. The tightness, constriction, or pain may also occur in the shoulder, neck, jaw, arm, or upper back, where it may be mistaken for a pulled muscle.

A tip-off to angina versus a pulled muscle or gastrointestinal problem is that you’re likely to experience the problem repeatedly rather than to have one isolated or prolonged episode.

Scary stat: According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 17 million people are living with angina. Cases of angina are divided almost equally between men and women, with men being slightly more at risk.

Why it happens: When plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, it deprives the heart muscle of blood, making it feel squeezed. Most people with stable angina find that episodes are most often triggered by anything that puts an additional strain on the heart, such as exercise or stress.

What to do: If you’re diagnosed with angina, your doctor will recommend resting when episodes occur; or she may prescribe nitroglycerin, which relaxes the coronary arteries and other blood vessels, increasing blood supply to the heart and easing its workload.

7. Shortness of breath
An early sign that something is wrong with a major bodily system is shortness of breath, typically with exercise, exertion, and stress. (Typically, shortness of breath indicates either early-stage heart disease or early-stage lung disease, and it’s not possible to know which it is without seeing a doctor.) It may feel like you can’t catch your breath, or you may notice a feeling of compression in the chest and lungs, making it difficult to take a deep breath. Another breathing symptom of poor circulation may be labored breathing, which occurs when fluid accumulates in the lungs. If you notice that your breathing problems are worse at night or anytime you lie down, that can also indicate a heart problem.

Scary stat: In a landmark study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Institute, 95% of women who’d had heart attacks reported experiencing unusual symptoms in the weeks and months before the attack, and 40% reported shortness of breath.

Why it happens: When your heart isn’t pumping strongly enough, less oxygen circulates in your blood. The result is shortness of breath; you might feel like you do at high altitude or when you’ve run for the bus, unable to draw enough oxygen into your lungs.

What to do: Shortness of breath, either with exercise and stress or all the time, is always a reason to see the doctor for a checkup, since it can be a symptom of a number of serious conditions.

Dear Family of Jesus,

Good Morning all! Thanks for gathering at the CUP!!

We are so thankful that you stopped by! PTL!!

“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.” (2 Chronicles 7:13-15)

This from Pastor Brenton Franks………..

Struggling with anger or disappoint with the way others have or are treating you? Here is some great encouragement from Psalm 4:4-5 “4 Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust the Lord.” (NLT)

If you find yourself in the midst of a struggle, run to God and not away from Him. Psalm 18:1-3 “1 I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.” (NLT)

This morning we pray for Chuck Ring who is undergoing back surgery.

Please pray for Crystal Garcia she is having serious health issues.

I repeat this from yesterday………….it is so peaceful and comforting………..

Blessed are the ears that hear the pulses of the Divine whisper, and give no heed to the many whisperings of the world. Thomas a Kempis………oh my how peaceful!

Have you ever had a moment when the Holy Spirit prompted you during prayer to do something that seemed borderline crazy? Have you ever had a moment like Peter did, when God called you to do something that seemed unsafe, crazy? Our responses to these prompting’s will make us or break us! It may seem insane, but if we stay in the boat, we will never walk on water!

When God makes something happen, we can thank Him because we can see it. When God keeps something from happening, we don’t know what He did. But someday God will reveal the invisible answers, and we’ll praise Him for them.

Praying hard starts with listening to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit. And if you are faithful in the small things and obey those little prompting’s, then God can use you to do BIG THINGS FOR HIM!!!

If you want to see wild and crazy miracles, obey the prompting’s of the Holy Spirit. Grab your pole, head to the lake. row the boat, cast the line, set the hook, and reel in the coin. As you obey the prompting’s by casting your line, you never know what kind of miracle you’ll catch on the other side!

“Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things you do not know.” Jer 33:3

Last night Sharon and I experienced a miracle, we talked about writing our book with Robin White who is such a blessing! Robin is the co-author of John Taylor’s book, “Make My Life a Bible”. Robin is going to help us write our book, it is underway….It has been the prompting of the Holy Spirit for over 2 years now! This is one of the wild and crazy miracles going on in our life right now!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been dragging my feet on some of the prompting’s of the Holy Spirit. Please forgive me Lord. My pastor, Eddie, says it’s time to get out of the Boat!!!

Shona Neff shares this with us today!

I thought about these verses when you asked what is wrong with people today:

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 2 Peter 3-7

God Bless you Shona!!!!

Darlene Quiring shares this………..I love it when you all share what God has shown you to share with us!!! AMEN!!! That is what the daily CUP is all about!!! Thank you Shona and Darlene!

Sowing and Reaping

If we are going to think Biblically, we must understand the principle of sowing and reaping. Children are good soil to sow into, and when given proper attention and affection, can bring great joy and stimulation to everyone.

A great movie was made some years ago called Lean on Me, and one incident in that context made me understand this principle about sowing and reaping. The principal had positively revolutionized a school by giving extra attention to certain people he felt had great potential, and when the lady on the school board who was always trying to get him out faced the crowd of demonstrating children, trying to explain why they wanted him out, they backed her off until he could speak.
…

What the principal had to say was not as significant as what one of the girls stated to this effect: “Were not going to let him go, because hes the first person whos really cared about us.” That crowd of children also recorded incredible gains in their national tests, and brought calm to a potentially explosive time bomb.

Another set of movies I have watched more times than I care to admit, are the Sister Act group. Once again the story illustrated how danger was tranquilized because of sensitive leadership into an inner city school, and talents were discovered which prevented a school from closing.

NEVER WRONG TO PROMOTE CHILDREN

I stated before, that children are always good soil in which to sow which is why, in many countries, education is compulsory.

The tragedy of the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia was the fact that ignorance was seen as meritorious, and that the less a child knew ensured power to an elitist few. Many of those in power were no more than children themselves. Interestingly enough, there are still governments today who operate under that same principle.

Children need meaningful attention, and with all the advancements made by modern technology, less and less children in third world environments seem to get access to that same privilege. Efforts are being made by diverse companies to reverse that order of things, but governments seem to lack the will and resources to lift up the fallen children among us.

It is always right to promote children, and much fruit comes to those who labor in this valiant endeavor. I have never once sat in confidence with a pastor who stated that he regretted his or her decision to emphasize children in their ministry. We must also always remember that transformed children result in challenged parents.

Now AWESOME words from Dr. Charles Stanley….

The Purification of Our Faith

Read | Hebrews 11:32-40
Although most of us would love to have the heroic trust of the men and women mentioned in Hebrews 11, few of us are willing to go through the process which God uses to develop this kind of dynamic faith. We love reading about the great victories and accomplishments of those who trusted the Lord, but we cringe at the descriptions in verses 36-38. None of us want to go through such horrific situations, but adversity is God’s way of purifying our faith.
Picture the Lord as a master sculptor standing before a block of marble–that slab is you! Picturing the hidden work of art within the rock, He lovingly and carefully chips away at everything that does not fit the masterpiece He’s creating.
Character: One of the first areas the Lord deals with is your character. His goal is to shape you into the image of His Son, and there are some traits and attitudes that must be chipped away in order for Him to accomplish the task. His chisel lays bare roots of sin and selfishness.
Idolatry: When anything or anyone becomes more important to us than the Lord, we have an idol in our lives. To protect us, God sometimes uses adversity to strip away everything we have relied upon so that we’ll cling only to Him.
The chisel hurts–it sometimes feels as if God is taking away everything we hold dear. Unless you understand His goal and believe He’s working for your good, you’ll think He’s cruel. But if you trust Him and yield to His shaping tool of adversity, your faith will be purified and strengthened through affliction.

Our Dear friend Ann Quest shares this very important info with us………..

Intercessor Friends,

Now is the time for all to come to the LOrd and seek His face. I know that I may be redundant to many, but many may not know of the wonderful prayer opportunities that are available. This morning, I read the history of the Great Awakenings in America. God wants us to fall on our faces and worship Him, turn from our sinful habits of leaving Him out of our lives, and ask Him for His mercy. ll Chronicles 14:11 is what I am claiming.

Below is a wonderful listing of the many ways you can participate in praying with others for our nation. I hope you take advantage of at least one of these. It is enormously encouraging to pray with a group of believers who have the same heart at this time in America.

It is also wonderful to be able to join people you have never seen, but who one day may see them face to face in heaven and be able to identify their voice. Just listen for a while and then join in at the prompting of His Spirit.

SO Many Opportunities!

	NATIONAL DAY OF REPENTANCE

THE NATIONAL DAY OF REPENTANCE

Beginning at Sundown in each time zone on Tuesday, September 25, 2012, and lasting for 24 hours

The National Day of Repentance is a 24-hour, grassroots gatheirng of believers in Jesus Christ, September 25, 2012, to humble ourselves and to seek God’s help for our nation.

God willing, there will be thousands of events at the grassroots level on this year’s National Day of Repentance, during the 24 hours beginning at sundown in each community on Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Seek the Holy Spirit as to an outline of a program for your group or church. You may wish to begin and end with worship, giving plenty of time for silence and soul-searching. It’s not about judgment; we’ve all fallen short of the glory of God. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. During the service you may wish to provide an open microphone for persons to pray spontaneously. Pray for unity in the body of Christ [ John 17: 13-26] around this event which seeks support by many ministries and denominations across the body of Christ. You may also wish to teach on the many Scriptures referring to repentance, many of which are found on this website. You may consider taking time to teach the remarkable, true stories of how repentance was a key factor in God’s Victories through David [Psalm 51], Jehoshaphat, [chapter
20:1-22], Daniel [chapter 9: 1-19], Esther [chapter 4: 1-17], and Nehemiah [chapter 1: 3-11]. There are similar examples in American Christian history starting in 1774 found on this website showing God’s Hand to bless our nation once there was a national call for repentance. You may also wish to focus on Christ and His Dominion and the zeal of the Lord in establishing the increase of His government and His peace for which there will be no end. [ Isaiah 9: 6-7]

This National Day of Repentance is set to coincide with Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. The event taking place on Yom Kippur in no way is meant to preempt or replace what Yom Kippur means for the Jewish people, but is meant to honor the Jewish people’s divinely mandated calendar (Lev 23:1-2), and to honor the holiness and seriousness of that day. It also honors the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. Romans 1:16. The Lord Himself said [Leviticus
23:27-31] that the Day of Atonement would be a “holy convocation”, a day to “afflict” one’s soul, to do no work; a “statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.”

During the 24 hour service we suggest you set aside time for prayer for the Jewish people, who are now under attack. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray also about the place of Yeshua in history: past, present and future. Thank the Living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that 2 Chronicles 7:14 applies to Israel primarily, but also now for us believers, is a way to heal all nations, including our nation in 2012: ” If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

National Day of Repentance is a nonprofit public benefit organization, the specific purpose of which is to educate the public about the need for and the power of repentance in the destiny of a nation. Sign-up now to join our growing online community, it’s free and easy. Looking for a National Day of Repentance leader in your area? Click here to find your nearest contact.

America Arising

Aglow International

Proclaiming the Rise of the Church and the Government of God in America

Twelve is a significant number. It is the number of government and it symbolizes divine accomplishment and governmental perfection. The year 2012 is about the government of God arising. If we want to see the government of God arise in the earth, we must first allow it to arise in us, His people, in a greater way.

– Jane Hansen Hoyt

This is a time of economic crisis in the United States and throughout the world. In this day of global political, economic and social upheaval, the leadership of the United State impacts the world as well as the people of this nation.

– Will this election turn the tide of the current economic crisis in the US?

– How will this election impact the economies of the world?

– Will this election serve to bless or harm the people of the U.S.? Of the world?

– How will this election effect the position of Israel among the nations?

Arise, America!

Proclaim the government of God in our nation. Call upon His wisdom to lead us in the Presidential elections of 2012. See God’s Majesty arise in you to transform our nation with the abundance of His grace, goodness, peace and righteousness.

Sponsoring and feeding children opens their hearts to receive Jesus. Sometimes entire families are saved and become part of a local church. See today’s photo below and rejoice with us.

August 8, 2012. Take time to think and ponder. I have created you as a wonder and placed you among the angels as those I love.Many are the stars, planets and constellations in the heavenly universe. Even Jesus shines brighter than the natural sun with the moon reflecting its glory. These are pictures for your meditation on My glory. I am the greatest of lights as the Father of lights. I sent Jesus into the world to initiate among you the light that drives away darkness. Now that He resides in you, this means you have the same glory and light as Jesus. Do not let life and circumstances put a basket or anything else over you to darken your light. Shine bright, full of the light from the Father of lights.
Psalm 8:3-5 (MSG) “I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewelry, Moon and stars mounted in their settings. Then I look at my micro-self and wonder, Why do you bother with us? Why take a second look our way? Yet we’ve so narrowly missed being gods, bright with Eden’s dawn light.” Ras Robinson

August 8, 2012. Satan is bombarding your mind now with thoughts of failure. You don’t know it’s Satan because it feels like your own thoughts. He always wants you thinking this way. If he can keep you thinking this way, he has you stymied in many areas of your life and especially in one specific area that you deal with a lot. You are comparing yourself with others at this time and that is never good. You are My child. I have made you a joint heir with My only begotten Son. I don’t want you to get in that syndrome of feeling like a failure. Why? Because you are a winner!!!

Ephesians 6:16-18 (NKJV) “Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints –” Bev Robinson

August 8, 2012. When you have a check in your gut, don’t just blow it off. When you have doubts or gentle nudges within your spirit, pay close attention to what is happening. I have given Holy Spirit authority to keep you in line. Those inner feelings you have are for your protection. Much like ignoring a yield sign on the side of the road, ignoring the sign could have serious repercussions. Holy Spirit gives you checks within your spirit to help you stay on the straight and narrow path. Use your spiritual sideview and rear mirrors constantly and pan the horizon in front of you to see what is around you at all times.

2 Peter 1:19 (NASB) “So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.” Kevin Robinson

Here’s Doctor Joe……………

How to Tell if Someone Is Having a STROKE
According to the American Heart Association, a stroke occurs every 45 seconds. But there’s good news: Even if you or someone you know suffers a stroke, immediate treatment can greatly reduce the damage. For many strokes, treatment with intravenous clot-busting drugs can make a significant difference. The catch? These drugs need to be administered within three hours of the onset of stroke symptoms. And the sooner treatment starts, the better the outcome.

To give someone the best possible chance of recovery, you should familiarize yourself with the warning signs of stroke. Remember that not all strokes are the same. Even if a friend or someone in your family has had a stroke before, a second stroke or a stroke in another family member might not have the same symptoms.

What to do if someone shows signs of having a stroke
It’s common for someone having a stroke to try to downplay the situation because he’s embarrassed and doesn’t want to cause a scene for no reason. Take charge and call for help even if he tries to talk you out of it. Don’t wait to see if his symptoms go away – and call even if his symptoms suddenly disappear. He may be having a transient ischemic attack (TIA), or ministroke, which is itself a warning sign that a full-blown stroke may be on the horizon.

If you notice one or more of the following stroke signs, call 911 right away. Make a note of the exact time when symptoms began; this information can be extremely helpful for the emergency room personnel.

Stroke sign #1: Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg – especially on one side of the body.
You may notice that the stroke victim’s mouth suddenly looks “uneven.” Ask him to smile and see if one side droops. He may have difficulty moving his arm or controlling his fingers. Have him close his eyes and raise both arms to see if one of them drifts downward.

Stroke sign #2: Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
Language problems are among the most common signs of stroke. Someone having a stroke may suddenly begin slurring his speech or have trouble speaking. He may not be able to understand what you’re saying to him. Ask him to repeat a simple sentence back to you, such as “I went to the store today.” If he has difficulty getting the words out, the cause could be a stroke.

Stroke sign #3: Sudden vision trouble in one or both eyes
Vision problems that come on suddenly is another common stroke symptom. What to look for: Someone having a stoke may not be able to see clearly out of one eye, or may have difficulty looking to the right or left. He may complain of blurry or double vision.

Stroke sign #4: Sudden difficulty walking, loss of balance or coordination, dizziness
Walking as if intoxicated, stumbling, or even falling down are all stroke symptoms. Other similar signs to watch for: Walking with legs spread apart or a sudden loss of fine motor ability, such as an inability to write.

Stroke sign #5: Sudden severe headache with no known cause
A headache is not necessarily a stroke symptom. But if a headache strikes unexpectedly or seems unusually intense, it’s reason for concern. If a stiff neck, facial pain, or vomiting accompanies the headache, the cause could be an intracranial hemorrhage, also known as a “red stroke.”

Not all of these warning signs occur with every stroke. Don’t ignore stroke symptoms even if they disappear. And don’t let the person talk you out of calling 911. Tell him you understand that he’s upset, but you’re going to call anyway because you love him. The most precious gift you can give someone who’s having a stroke is immediate treatment.
