Today, as I was walking down the street of life to see if someone is in need for prayer and a visit, I noticed a person walking kind of awkwardly with her body leaning forward in pain, and with her hand touching her back trying to support it or to relieve it from an obvious back pain.
I asked her, would you like to talk and pray? She answered yes. After talking and listening to her for a while about her pains and struggles and ministering to her spirit lifting her faith using the Word of God and songs, I offered to pray with her and for her.
She agreed to come to the Lord as she is. She confessed and repented of all her sins; gave all her struggles to the Lord and asked God to heal her and to help her now. I anointed her with the oil used for prayer.
After the prayer, you can see a totally new person without any back pain anymore. She could do some motions that she has not been doing for a while. After I said goodbye to her, she approached a person who handed her the lunch tray which she took with both of her hands; I walked along with her, witnessing this person now obviously healed by the Lord, walking up straight to her lunch table without any obvious pain as a couple of hours before.
God has healed her pain physically and lifted her up from her distress and sadness. Her faith in God is strengthened. She looks different, happy with a smile on her face and a sign of relief from pain. Praise the Lord.
She then helped me pray for others who were in need of healing right there during our praise and worship service. I believe great things happened to those who believe in the Lord. After she laid hand on her friend who had pain in the stomach and in the back, instantly the Lord healed her friend as well. Praise the Lord.

Prayer of Billy Graham for our Nation
Truth...From a Man the media has never been able to throw dirt on....Amazing!!
He has certainly hit the "World" on the head!
Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation
THIS MAN SURE HAS A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY!
'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says,'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today, cleanse us from every sin and Set us free.
AMEN'
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,'and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.
With the Lord's help,may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One Nation Under God'

Shake It Off and Step It Up
A farmer owned an old mule that fell into a well. After assessing the situation, the farmer reluctantly concluded that neither the mule nor the well was worth saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together and enlisted them to help bury the old mule In the well and put him out of his misery.
Initially the old mule was frantic, but as the dirt kept hitting his back, something happened. It dawned on the mule that every time a shove load landed on his back, he should Shake It Off and Step Up!
This he did, blow after blow. Shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up. No matter how painful the blows or how distressing the situation, the old mule fought panic and just kept right on Shaking It Off And Stepping Up!
Before long, the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped triumphantly through the mouth of that well. What seemed like it would bury him, actually helped him…all because of how he handled his adversity.
We just keep shaking it off and stepping it up over, and over, and over… relentlessly.

Gan Chua Hon - Closer to You/Near to You (Song)
Gần Chúa Hơn (Am, 4/4)
Nhạc & Lời: Bích Hạnh (2002)
Gần bên Chúa, Chúa ơi! Cho con gần Chúa hơn.
Gần bên Chúa, phước thay cho người theo Chúa.
Gần bên Chúa, để con không cảm thấy cô đơn.
Gần bên Chúa để con yêu Cha nhiều hơn!
Con trông mong Cha từ sáng sớm, trưa, ban chiều.
Mong tâm linh con gần Chúa mãi không lìa xa.
Con yêu Cha luôn vì con được gần bên Chúa.
Chúa ơi! Cho con được gần bên Chúa muôn đời.
Dù bao lúc khó nguy hay khổ đau.
Lòng đợi trông Chúa luôn luôn mỗi ngày.
Dù trong trũng bóng đêm, Ngài luôn ở bên con.
Gần bên Cha khiến con luôn bình an.

Closer to God
Close to you, O Lord, let me get closer.
Blessed to those who believe in the Lord.
Close to you so that I don't feel lonely.
Close to you that I'll love you more.
Evening and early morning and at noon
Forever my soul will stay by your side.
I love you Lord because I am close to you.
Let me be close to you forever more.
Even in sorrow and danger,
My heart hope in you day by day.
Even in darkest you always with me
Close to you that makes me be whole.

Near to You
Near to you my God. Let me be near You.
Near to you. I'm blessed following you.
Near to you, I am no longer lonely.
Near to you, I love you more and more.
I long for you all morning, noon and night.
I'll be near you, Father, I will be near.
I love you more since I'm near you Father.
My God, let me be near you forever.
Though life will bring pain or sorrow.
I will wait for you every day.
In the darkest night you are there for me.
Near to you cause me to have peace.

Dừa Xanh
Dừa xanh thơm ngọt ngon lành,
Ăn vào một quả dừa ngon rất tình.
Tình yêu chồng mãi cho mình,
Tình yêu nồng thắm, gừng già cay hơn.
*
Dừa thơm gợi nhớ tình chàng,
Mua nàng một quả dừa ngon mỗi ngày.
Dừa ơi dừa có biết chăng,
Tình yêu nồng thắm càng xây sẽ nồng.
*
Tình nồng phu phụ vun trồng,
Tình yêu Thiên Chúa vẫn nồng trong ta.
Dù mai ai sẽ đi xa.
Lòng ta vẫn nhớ tình Cha dạt dào.
*
Dù cho vật đổi sao dời,
Tình yêu Cha dạy vẫn nồng trong ta.
Dù cho mưa gió phong ba,
Tình yêu đôi lứa tình dừa không phai.
