Dear Friend,

As New Yorkers pick up the pieces in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, Christians are coming together to offer victims life-saving help â?? including God's love.

Starting today, WMCA and The Salvation Army are partnering in an urgent campaign to provide food, blankets, and other supplies for the thousands of storm survivors who are still struggling with cold and hunger.

The Salvation Army, a Christian mission helping those in need in His name for over 130 years, has been on the ground in the hardest-hit areas throughout New York. And their disaster relief will continue for as long as necessary.

But they need your compassion and generosity to keep providing help for storm victims.

It costs just $80 to provide a family with food, blankets, coats, and cleaning supplies. Can you give a gift to offer nourishment for body and soul to a family in need?

Keep listening to WMCA for important updates on how you and The Salvation Army are making a difference for Sandy's victims.

November 1, 2012 - As I count my blessings this Thanksgiving, I am praising God for who He is and what He has done this past year. Ironically, one of the highlights occurred when I went through major surgery that required six days in the hospital. During that time, my two daughters tag-teamed so that one of them was with me 24/7. My predominant memory of that time is not the pain, or the tubes, or the needles, but the loving way Morrow and Rachel-Ruth cared for me.


By Anne Graham Lotz

I. His Touch Clarifies
Read Matthew 9:27-31 ?and 20:29-34.

List the differences between the two stories.
Why do you think Jesus questioned the men in both stories?
What are some reasons that a blind person would not want to see?
What do you need clarity about concerning: Your marriage? Your family? Your job or career? Your church? His truth?
If you need clarity, what are some lessons you can learn from the men in these stories?
How do the following verses confirm His touch that clarifies: Psalm 119:18, Luke 24:27-49, James 1:5?

II. His Touch Cleanses
Read Matthew 8:1-3.

Describe leprosy as you understand it.
Since Jesus could have healed the man with just a word, why do you think He touched him?
How long do you think it had been since the leper had felt a human touch? See Leviticus 13:45-46.
What could the physical disease of leprosy represent spiritually? Read Psalm 38:3, 51:2; Isaiah 6:5-7.
How do we receive His healing touch that cleanses? See 1 John 1:7-9, Acts 2:36-38, Hebrews 9:23-28.
When did you receive His touch that cleanses? If you can�¢??t remember a specific time, how can you be sure you are cleansed?

III. His Touch Changes
Read Matthew 8:14-15.

Describe the difference His touch made.
Did Peter or his mother-in-law ask Jesus to heal her? (See also Luke 4:38-39.) What does this mean to you?

What does Jesus promise in John 14:27? 16:33?
What are you afraid of? Who are you afraid of? Why? Would you ask Jesus for His touch that calms the fearful heart?

V. His Touch Cares

Describe the scene in Luke 18:15-17.
Read Luke 14:7-14. While it�¢??s obvious that Jesus cared about and loved little children, who also could they represent?
Give phrases from the following verses that indicate Jesus touched people because He cared about them: Matthew 9:35-36, 14:13-14, 15:29-38, 20:34; Mark 1:40-42.
Who do you need to touch in Jesus�¢?? name? See 2 Corinthians 1:3-5.

As you begin to watch the son of the living God picture may you receive your dreams and your healing now, let your enemies be put in to shame, let the heaven fire strike against your enemies.

Am saying this to the whole world that am not here bcs of your money or any property that you have but to help people with their spiritual problems, bad conditions and solve their problems for them.

Pls I know the scripture is very long but pls just take your time and read it for me.

My name is Prophet Noble. Am here to heal and declare to people in the whole wide world who ever needs a glory from the Almighty God.

If God want to bless u, it does not matter about where u come from or who you are.

That is how God does his works.

Now a days if the truth comes from the people that God has called us, people does not like it bcs some people have forced them self to be force prophets and they are using their knowledge just to make money from people.

Hey God said I should announce to whole world that warn unto those force prophet who are deceiving to the public.

Could u belief that some of the force prophets or uncalled prophets request huge sum of money from people and their problems are still not been solved?

Ask your self why, bcs God has not call them and they are using their knowledge just to make money.

Let me tell u one secrets thing that the force prophets has being doing, what they do is, they lay out a consultation to listen to what u will say to them and they will use your own speech or your own words to prophecies you.

A Prophet does not lay a consultation then why do u call your self a prophets?
.
A Prophet is a man of God who God speaks through him to know anything about your life or to say something which is about to happen in your life.

Sometimes I wonder why some people think there is no God and why they donâ??t belief in miracles.

Pls am here to heal people that they have been to the hospital and the doctor has told you that he canâ??t do anything about their sickness. Donâ??t ever get worried again.

Am here to attack your problems on SPIRITUAL ATTACKS, SICKNESS, MARRIAGE PROBLEMS, VISA TO TRAVEL, UNMARRIED PEOPLE, BUSINESS PROBLEMS, FINANCIAL PROBLEMS or anything that u think u have not got a solution to it.

If you are in Abroad and things are not going on for you pls just flash me to call u.

That is how I do the word of God, to care about people and solve their problems for them but not to request a huge sum of money from people. No I do not do that

The living God that I worship did not show me to request money from people before I will solve their problems for them.

Sometimes I wonder why your own families or your friends will sit down and lay out a bad mind for you bcs of the little money that you have or a house that you have build or a small business that you are doing.

When you were struggling to fight for your future to get money for your self where were they.

Dada/Mama/Sister/Brother donâ??t ever get worried again that is why I have leave my number here to call me to show u a direction to follow it.

Sometimes we need a little directions to follow it before we there will be a break through on our way.

Am still saying this to the whole world that am not here bcs of your money but to help people and solve their problems for them.

People are really suffering in the world and they need a man of God to break through their attacks on their way but they can get it.

Now am here so call me through my cell fon and see the miracles of God.

The reason why am publishing this on the internet is that, people may be far from me and they can not travel all the way to me that is why I have leave my number for u to call me.

Pls if u call me and I didnâ??t pick your calls, pls try and call me later bcs I may be at church preaching whiles the Fon will be on silence.

Pls do not escape this message without calling bcs God has something for u.

May the LORD be with u all and may he sprinkle the blood of Jesus unto us Amen

It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High. PSALM 92:1

As Psalm 92 tells us, "It is good to give thanks to the LORD . . . to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your faithfulness by night." With a little effort, you can make Thanksgiving a cherished family time devoted to thanking God for what He has done in your lives.

One tradition we've kept for years is to have each family member write five things for which he or she is thankful. On our plates are five kernels of cornâ??a reminder of the Pilgrims' daily ration during one of their first difficult winters. Before we eat, we pass a basket around the table five times, and each person places one kernel of corn at a time into the basket and tells one thing he or she is thankful for.

Here are some of the things our children wrote one year:

â?¢"I'm thankful for being able to have a family."
â?¢"I'm thankful Ashley got to come home from college for Thanksgiving."
â?¢"I'm thankful for God in my life."
â?¢"I'm thankful for my ministry at my high school."
â?¢"I'm thankful for my sisters and all they've taught me about relationships."
â?¢"I'm thankful I got to shoot a deer!"
â?¢"I'm thankful for a great brother."

Dennis and I were thrilled to hear the kids actually thank God for each other!

After so many years of sibling rivalry, they were finally beginning to show each other the affection we hoped would continue throughout their lives.

That year we also were touched by something our son Samuel wrote: "I'm thankful for my muscular dystrophy." He had been diagnosed with the disease earlier in the year, and we had been through some wrenching months.

Thanking God was a big step of faith for him. And it provided another sign that our children were learning the true spirit of Thanksgivingâ??a heart of gratitude that gives thanks in all things.

DISCUSS

How has God worked in your lives this past year?

PRAY

Spend time thanking God for His love, His provision and His work in your lives.

We who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves. ROMANS 15:1

Life in a fallen world can be tough. But what makes suffering and hardship worse is that they often turn us against each other rather than toward each other.

Here are a few ways to keep that from happening as you negotiate the common speed bumps and detours of life:

Give your spouse time and freedom to process trials differently. Fight the urge to discount each other's emotions or grow impatient with the time it's taking your spouse to deal with something. Some of us are quick to move on. Some process slowly and are more introspective. Give your spouse freedom to not be like you.

Recognize the temptation to withdraw from each other during periods of intense challenges. As a result, you end up thinking your spouse doesn't understand you or isn't taking the tough time seriously enough, which makes you want to pull back even more.

Respond to trials by embracing God's perspective of suffering. Search the Scriptures for God's counsel and point of view. Verses like "In everything give thanks" (1 Thessalonians 5:18) help to strengthen you through seasons of suffering by reminding you that God is good and He is in control.

Remember that your mate is never your enemy. As my friend Dr. Dan Allender says, your spouse is your "intimate ally," a fellow burden bearer for a difficult time.

If the burden or suffering persists, seek outside help. If you feel as if you're slipping off into a deep ditch as a couple, don't wait until you have all four wheels stuck before you seek help. Find godly counsel by calling a mature mentoring couple, your pastor or a biblical counselor to gain some traction.

DISCUSS

Talk about the way each of you responds to periods of suffering, stress or a major challengeâ??and why. What do you need the other to understand about how you process difficulty?

PRAY

Take some time to pray for one another around an issue you are facing. Express your trust in God to guide, strengthen and see you through . . . together.

Bridget just entered the dating scene after 20 years of a sexless marriage. After the divorce dust settled from that empty relationship she looked in the mirror and saw a flabby, overweight and unattractive 51 year old staring back. "How can I get my mojo back?" she wondered out loud. After a quick and intimidating tour of a couple of online dating sites, Bridget made a decision to do something monumental for herself. For herself alone. She contacted us for a free Love Mentoring�® session by phone. After that free yet very powerful (her words) coaching Intro she felt a new sense of excitement and possibility.

Bridget signed up for ongoing Love Mentoring�® and within the year found new charisma, new confidence and the great love of her life, John, a warm chiropractor. The chemistry with John was like a scene out of Fifty Shades of Grey. He was crazy about Bridget and after a few months of keeping him waiting, she was finally ready to answer 'yes' to his requests for exclusivity. And 'yes' to his longing to get more intimate. But she was worried about being sexual. Bridget was never able to feel passionate in all the years of her long marriage and she felt like a novice in the bedroom. Terrified that things would go south (and not in a good way).

That's when her Love Mentor taught Bridget all about the four best sex secrets that could make her love with John play out in the most fulfilling way. In the most passionate way. And I am happy to say, it did. Bridget and John are now having the best sex of their lives! Bridget handled her sexual life very well in that she did not have sex prematurely, but once she did start, she made a commitment to learning about how to enjoy great sex.

Making love is a not a good idea before you have a serious committed relationship. But once you are committed, having the best sex possible is very important for making your relationship last and getting even better over time. Did you know that really fulfilling sex releases endorphins, which elevate mood and lower stress and even pain levels? After having satisfying sex, each partner associates feeling good with the other. Testosterone, the sexual hormone engine for both men and women, also generates feelings of connection. Finally, having sex drives up levels of oxytocin (the cuddle, tend & befriend hormone), which explains why for many men, (and women) having sex is usually synonymous with feeling intimate and close.

So how do you create the best sex? Read on for the best sex secrets that Bridget learned from her Love Mentor!)
Best Sex Secret #1--Novelty

Dopamine is one of the infatuation brain chemicals that gives us that awesome over-the-moon feeling. It is produced when we first fall in love and then through new and novel activities keep dopamine infatuation going. Well, nothing keeps the dopamine going more than novelty in bed. So sex secret #1 is: vary the places you make love, vary the way you set the stage through candlelight, a bubble bath, feathers, sex toys, whipped cream, or new kinds of lingerie and sexy outfits. Vary your foreplay and try different sexual positions. You might end up laughing yourselves silly as you experiment. Neither my husband nor I is a gymnast, so some of the Kama Sutra positions are a riot for us. The most important sex secret of all is: Take it all as fun and games.

In the end, make sure that both of you are fully satisfied no matter whether that's achieved orally, manually, or through intercourse.

Sex is a wonderful gift to be enjoyed and shared by both of you. Good, frequent sex promotes your own physical and mental health, that of your man, and the vitality of the relationship. Among other things, it is associated with a reduced incidence of breast cancer in women who have never had a child, more restful sleep, greater pain relief, elevation of mood, looking younger, overall fitness, longevity, and happiness!
Best Sex Secret #2 -- Sexual Trance

Sexual trance involves an inward focus where each partner focuses on his or her own pleasure and sensations and creates a fulfilling sexual release. In win-win sex, each of you is pleasured and finds a strong release in orgasm. Learn by experimenting so that you know what works for him and what works for you. This is an important best sex secret to passionate lasting love that my Love Mentors can teach you about.
In order to learn what works for him, try touching, massaging, licking, or stimulating all the different parts of his body. Observe and ask him questions about what feels good. Try different sexual acts, variations of intercourse positions, and, most important, oral sex. Virtually all men adore oral sex. This is what men really want. If you have a problem with this, consider the fact that if your man showers, chances are his mouth has more germs than his penis does!
Ultimately you are responsible for knowing your body and creating the conditions for your own sexual pleasure.
You can learn much more about the best sex secrets and creating passionate lasting love by having your own free 40 minute one-on-one Intro Love Mentoring�® session by phone or Skype! Just Click Here and fill out the form. You will get to talk to one of my expert handpicked coaches who are caring, wise and so knowledgeable.

Those who go down to the sea in ships, . . . they have seen the works of the LORD. PSALM 107:23-24
One song that really gets me in the mood for Thanksgivingâ??even though it's not really a Thanksgiving songâ??is the official U.S. Navy hymn: "Eternal Father, Strong to Save."
I didn't grow up hearing it (my father was in the Army, after all), but it has become one of those captivating songs that reminds me of God's protection in times of great stress and worry.
If you saw the film The Perfect Storm, you may remember hearing this song at the end of that movie. Its roots actually go back to the mid-1800s, when William Whiting wrote these words to encourage a student who was traveling by ship from Great Britain to America and was paralyzed with fear that the vessel would sink and that he would be drowned.
Eternal Father, strong to save
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Some years later, it seems, an American sailor heard this song while on duty in England and brought it back to the Naval Academy choir, where it's still sung today at the close of Sunday services.
I'm sure your year has had its share of "peril on the sea" in one form or anotherâ??health scares or job insecurities, money troubles or family tensions, close calls or lingering pressures. Like a stormy tempest on the ocean, some things are simply more powerful than we are. But whether sailor or not, we all need to know that nothing is more powerful than the One who measures our path and guards our wayâ??the One who calms the seasâ??the One we praise in this season of Thanksgiving.
DISCUSS
What peril has God brought you out ofâ??or is even now seeing you through?
PRAY
Thank God for His great and mighty power in the midst of our perfectly harrowing storms.

About every fifth light was running off a generator at a Toms River, N.J., high school that has been transformed into an emergency evacuation shelter.



Itâ??s dark in there, but not just because of the lighting.



Homeless Ocean County residents are sleeping on cots, mostly displaced from the Seaside Heights community, where a roller coaster now sits in the Atlantic Ocean.



They swap devastation stories and share pictures from their phones as they wonder who had it worst.



Mounds of donated goods â?? books, toys, dog food, even contact solution â?? line the school hallways and gymnasium that hundreds are now calling home.



â??I was stuck in my attic for three days,â?? one teenager said, still fidgety and coughing. â??No food or anything.â??



â??I knew it was going to be bad,â?? another Seaside Heights woman said, sitting dejectedly on a cot. â??But I never thought it would be this bad.â??



Billy Graham Rapid Response chaplains, alongside Samaritanâ??s Purse, have responded to the great need in New Jersey, where more than 1.6 million people are still without power as of Friday morning.



â??Itâ??s hell on earth,â?? another woman said, talking with the chaplains.



But amidst this disaster â?? one of the worst in recorded U.S. history â?? one manâ??s life was changed Thursday night for all eternity.



â??I Feel Like a New Personâ??



John didnâ??t know where to start.



As Barb and Leo Grabowski meandered around the shelter, conversing, listening and praying with Sandy survivors, they came across John, a Seaside Heights resident whose life was on a perpetual downward spiral.



His car was buried under four-feet of sand, he was suddenly homeless and he just lost his job as a cook at a local hospital.



As the Grabowskis were talking with John about his spiritual life, he had few answers.

â??If you wouldnâ??t have survived the storm, do you know where you would be going?â?? Barb asked John. â??Would you be going to heaven?â??



â??No, I donâ??t know,â?? John said bluntly. â??But I donâ??t think Iâ??ve been good enough.â??



Barb responded, â??If it was about being good enough, why would Jesus have had to come down and die on the cross?â??



John, a man in his 40s, endured a tough upbringing. When Barb talked about how he could have a heavenly Father, he quickly interjected: â??Iâ??ve never had a dad.â??



â??Now you will have a Father who will never leave you,â?? Barb said.



The Grawbowskis offered to pray with John to accept Christ into his life, right there in the middle of the dimly lit gymnasium.



â??I told him it means repenting of your sins and making God the Lord of your life,â?? Barb said.



Broken, tired and out of answers, John was ready and made a decision to follow Jesus.



â??John said he felt lighter inside,â?? Barb reported. â??That he felt like a new person.â??



After the chaplains prayed with John, they presented him with follow-up materials and a Bible and recommended he started reading in the book of â?? you guessed it â?? John.



â??This is one of the most exciting things that we do,â?? Barb said, still pumped several hours later.



Leo knows it has nothing to do with the chaplains. Or Billy Graham. Or the Rapid Response Team.



â??The best thing to do is say a few words stand back and let the Holy Spirit take over,â?? Leo said. â??Itâ??s amazing.â??



â??Houses Are Just Goneâ??



Diane VonStetten didnâ??t know what to feel after the rushing waters of Hurricane Sandy came right up to the edge of her street in the Silverton area of Toms River before receding.



Lucky. Blessed. Fortunate.



As one of the administrative assistants at The Church of Hope and Peace, which is hosting the Rapid Response Team and Samaritanâ??s Purse in Toms River, VonStetten knew right away that those on the north end of Silverton did not fare nearly as well.



â??We were outside and we saw this young couple walking down the street,â?? she said. â??He was carrying clothes and food, and she was carrying the car seat with a 3-month-old preemie baby inside all bundled up.â??



Officials warned those living in the north to evacuate, but not everyone did, including this couple.



â??People I talked to said within 10 minutes of the flood rushing in the floor was lifting up,â?? VonStetten said. â??Tile floor, linoleum. â?¦ It just happened so fast.â??



The damage in Silverton was massive, but nothing compared to the loss of life. As of Thursday, eight deaths were reported and many were missing.



â??Theyâ??ve found people floating in the river,â?? VonStetten said. â??Peopleâ??s houses are gone. Just gone. Roads are gone. Total devastation.â??



Similar scenes can be found along the Jersey Shore barrier islands of Point Pleasant, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park.



â??Houses are just gone. Foundations are the only thing left,â?? she said. â??They were cutting holes in roofs just to rescue people. My neighbor went down the road in a canoe to try to help people.â??



But Seaside Heights may be the worst scene of all. Residents are reporting that you still canâ??t get in without an escort from the National Guard and that explosions from gas pipes were still happening as of Thursday.



â??The roller coaster is in the ocean,â?? VonStetten said. â??Washed right off the pier.â??



Moving to New Jersey from Maryland more than 20 years ago, Von Stetten hasnâ??t experienced or heard about a worst natural disaster. She prays this will get many peopleâ??s attention.



â??I think it will shake people up for the short-term like 9/11,â?? she said. â??Theyâ??ll start going to church. Iâ??m hoping it shakes people enough so they get to a revelation of who the Lord really is.â??
