Helping the poor and homeless... Giving Tuesday

Helping the poor and homeless... Giving Tuesday

1. Heart healthy food
(Read this article: Top 11 Heart-Healthy Foods http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/11-top-heart-healthy-foods?page=1)
2. A lot of poor/homeless don't have places to cook canned/fresh food...so the answer would be gift cards for SUBWAY, Cumberland Farms, Boston Market, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Chick-Fil-A, Wawa, and Panera Bread.
Gift cards for Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS are also helpful for personal items. Gift cards and cash for gas is helpful too, especially if they live in their car.
3. Some poor/homeless can't afford laundry facilities, offering to wash/return the clothes is extremely helpful
4. A lot of poor/homeless people aren't in good health, offering vitamins are helpful.
5. Many poor/homeless people are discouraged/depressed, A Kind Word helps, a cup of coffee, prayer helps, take them for a haircut, give a listening ear, and show them love!
6. If you've once been poor or you just want to give back or pay it forward to God, would you consider taking a soul into your home?

Remember one word, one kind deed, and a smile can change someone's day!
You can Save a Life before you Save a Soul!

If you would like to help the homeless, please consider sending A GIFT TO A FRIEND!

Prayer of Hope

Prayer of Hope

Abba Father,

You promised that You would be with us wherever we go.
You promised that Your angels would guard our steps.
You told us to be strong and very courageous.
Help us know the best plan you have laid out for our lives, You know the plans, the one that gives us hope and a future!
Help us keep our eyes on Jesus whatever storm we are in.
Help us not look at the hurricane winds or the stormy seas, but keep our focus on the Master who said "Peace be still!"
Help us to be still, You told us to come to You all who are weary and heavy ladened and You would give us rest.
Jesus gives us the rest that will heal our body, soul, mind and spirit.
Refresh our spirits and give us the mind of Christ.
Thank You for the Heavenly Armor that protects us.
We aren't alone in this world, in this journey we call life, You gave us so much more that we haven't even imagined yet.
You know us, Abba Father, we trust You with all our hearts, we are Your children!
Thank You for sending Your Son who gave His Love for us!
We are Eternally Grateful <3 Amen!

Hope and Healing Center

Hope and Healing Center

We help people everyday by prayer and meeting people and going places to provide food and clothes. We extend open the doors to our home so people can have a place to stay for a night or two. We help people get established with a post office box so they can have an address. We give ideas where the best place to go to have a shower at. Where to go to get a good meal. Our goal is to have a Hope and Healing Center where people can come in and receive help that they need. This is needed and I thank you for your love and prayers and your help.

Will you prayerfully consider sending a gift via Paypal.me/Go2Hope

Restoration Prayer

Restoration Prayer

Abba Father,

Because You are my Shepherd, I have everything I need!

You let me rest in the meadow grass and lead me beside the quiet streams. You give me new strength. You help me do what honors you the most.

Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.

You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest; blessings overflow!

Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home.

Restore to me and my family line all that the enemy has stolen.
Restore health. Restore finances. Restore godly authority. Restore relationships.

I surrender my rights to follow Jesus Christ.
I will walk in your protective armor.

I will be a leader of grace, humbleness and mercy.
I will walk in unity with my brothers and sisters.
I will practice hospitality.
I will bless those who persecute me.

I will be patient, loving and kind.
I will be humble.
I will honor others.
I will edify and lift up others.
I will be quick to forgive.
I will let all wrongs roll off of me.
I will rejoice in truth.
I will protect, trust, hope and persevere.

Abba Father, I declare that I am your child.

Amen!

Prayer to Solve Problems

Prayer to Solve Problems

We call your spirit to attention in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds." (James 1:2) God's creative purpose is for the wisdom of God to be made known to you. (Ephesians 3:10-11)

Our culture avoids problems and values a false sense of happiness. God has called you into His joy and not man's happiness. From the beginning of time, God created Adam and Eve to face problems and He gave them the wisdom and resources to solve problems.

You were created and designed by God to face and solve problems and not run from them. People will be known as problem solvers or problem creators. I bless you to be a problem solver. Solving problems releases the treasures of wisdom and joy. When facing a problem, may you rejoice and break free from a spirit of complaining.

Every problem, brings you the opportunity to know the faithfulness of God. God will bring new problems, so that you can know the riches of His wisdom. The bigger and complex the problem, the greater and deeper the wisdom of God that can be revealed. Problems are God's life lessons for His children.

I break the spirit of welfare that only relies on others to solve our problems rather than God. I bless your spirit to dig into the treasures of His scriptures and find the ways of God even if that takes years and decades. The joy of the search will become joy. "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)

I break off the spirit of failure over your life. God welcomes risk takers and failures, but you are not a failure. Your actions do not define your identity. You do not have to listen to the lies of the enemy but live in the victory of God over your life.

I bless you with "the mind of Christ" (I Corinthians 2:16) so that you can see God's perspective and discover the undiscovered solutions that no one else can see. I bless you with faithfulness and wisdom in order to embrace even the most painful and unusual solutions to the problems you face.

I bless you with the spirit of David, who saw the Goliaths of life but also saw the solutions from heaven.I bless you with an anointing of a pioneer and trail-blazer who walks in areas that most have never gone before. Face your problems. Walk toward your problems. Walk through your problems. You have His authority. Nothing can defeat you. You are blessed because you serve a God who blesses. AMEN

Hope and Faith

Hope and Faith
_________________________________

You overcame my loss of hope and faith,
Gave me a truth I could believe in.
You led me to that higher place
Showed me that love and truth and hope and grace were all I needed.

The Life that Shines

There is something inside of us all, a communication we want to convey. Some can speak and some can mutter words we can't understand.
There is a life inside of us all, and when hope springs forth, that life explodes inside us!
An excitement you can't even hide on your worst days!
That shine that smiles through you, releases hope in others!
Keep shining for Jesus on your worst days and the best day will open before your eyes!!!
That life we yearn for, the hope we've never let go is shining through!!!
So Smile and Shine!!!

"Encourage one another daily"
Hebrews 3:13
"Encourage each other and Strengthen one another"
1 Thessalonians 5:10,11

Sending a message of love, joy, hope and faith in Jesus Christ so we can learn how to overcome any challenge and bee happy no matter what!

Say No to Suicide prevention page on Facebook is growing everyday to more than 1300 likes. People are looking for hope everyday. I need your prayers to continue saving lives.

Joseph and I have a prayer ministry. Our motto is "Wherever we go, we go to pray", we're not home yet while we're traveling through this journey called life. Ready to help others is our daily goal, bringing hope and healing wherever we go.

HOME

We all need rest, we've all been in some type of emotional and physical pain. It's so essential that if you miss time, your body and mind will suffer. I've experienced loss of proper sleep by being in emotional and physical pain. I've lost a home, had to put everything I owned in storage, gave my belongings away, been homeless, lived and traveled in my car. I'm Passionate about Helping the Homeless because I lost my home 4.5 years ago due to Hurricane Irene.

We've lived with several people who blessed us with a room to sleep in. How we found our HOME was through prayer and a set of unexpected circumstances. We were invited to a prayer meeting in September 2015 and afterwards we were going to move to Virginia to start our new ministry opportunity and living arrangement! We were excited how God was moving, all our friends and family were happy for us too! We got to where we needed to be on September 20, 2015 and three days later the man who invited us apologized and said he found out in his lease that he couldn't take anyone in his home. It was such devastating news! We had no home to go to because it was already rented out to someone new!

I prayed to Abba Father and said that I don't know anyone here and there's nowhere to go. Abba assured me with an answer immediately: This is your family. I really got to connect with people after that and I just kept meeting new people with a lot of love to share! We've traveled all around. Everywhere we go, we go to pray! Abba has blessed us everywhere we go! Now we've been Blessed Beyond Belief by the Best Love in the Universe! We got the KEYS to our new 2 bedroom apartment on February 4th, 2016!!! We are So Thankful to Jesus!

Abba Father took our Dis-appointment and turned it into HIS-appointment!

Isaiah 58:7
I want you to share your food with the hungry people. I want you to find poor people that don't have homes, and I want you to bring them into your own homes. When you see a man that has no clothes--give him your clothes! Don't hide {from helping those people}; they are just like you.

My Prayer is to have Homes of Hope so people can rest and feel safe. Give people hope, real hope. Not occasionally when the weather is too cold or too hot, but a real place to live. Give people dignity, a place to belong. We're all part of a family, a great big family that cares for each other. When one person is broken, we lift each other up.

Our dream is to have a Hope and Healing Center. A place that's open for people to receive prayer and healing that they need and to worship God in a place that would be OPEN TO ALL. There's a great need for people to come together as a faith-based organization to introduce Jesus as Lord and Savior in a way that will bring hope and healing. The goal is to spread out from the Hope and Healing Center for homeless people to get help with food and clothes and ideas where to go and practical help as well as spiritual help. The Hope and Healing Center is not open yet but we do help people everyday by prayer and meeting people and going places to provide food and clothes. Sometimes we extend open our doors to our house so people could have a place to stay for a night or two. We help people get established with a post office box so they can have an address. We give ideas where the best place to go to have a shower at Planet Fitness. Where to go to get a good meal. Our goal is to have a Hope and Healing Center where people can come in and receive help that they need. This is needed and I thank you for your love and prayers and your help.

Thank you for blessing us and our efforts to spread Hope and Healing via text, email, Facebook, in person and throughout many generations. Our PayPal.com address is go2hope@yahoo.com

Abba has blessed us everywhere we go! Now we've been Blessed Beyond Belief by the Best Love in the Universe! We got the KEYS to our new 2 bedroom apartment on February 4th, 2016!!! We are So Thankful to Jesus!

Abba Father took our Dis-appointment and turned it into HIS-appointment!

Isaiah 58:7
I want you to share your food with the hungry people. I want you to find poor people that don't have homes, and I want you to bring them into your own homes. When you see a man that has no clothes--give him your clothes! Don't hide {from helping those people}; they are just like you.

My Prayer is to have Homes of Hope so people can rest and feel safe. Give people hope, real hope. Not occasionally when the weather is too cold or too hot, but a real place to live. Give people dignity, a place to belong. We're all part of a family, a great big family that cares for each other. When one person is broken, we lift each other up.

In order to insure the privacy of our guests and to serve the greatest number of people in need, we are entirely funded by private donors and businesses. We do not solicit or accept government grants and are not a United Way affiliate.

Vision to help the poor and homeless...

Vision to help the poor and homeless...

1. Heart healthy food
(Read this article: Top 11 Heart-Healthy Foods http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/11-top-heart-healthy-foods?page=1)
2. A lot of poor/homeless don't have places to cook canned/fresh food...so the answer would be gift cards for Boston Market, Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A, Wawa, and Panera Bread.
Gift cards for Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS are also helpful for personal items. Gift cards and cash for gas is helpful too, especially if they live in their car.
3. Some poor/homeless can't afford laundry facilities, offering to wash/return the clothes is extremely helpful
4. A lot of poor/homeless people aren't in good health, offering vitamins are helpful.
5. Many poor/homeless people are discouraged/depressed, A Kind Word helps, a cup of coffee, prayer helps, take them for a haircut, give a listening ear, and show them love!
6. If you've once been poor or you just want to give back or pay it forward to God, would you consider taking a soul into your home?

Remember one word, one kind deed, and a smile can change someone's day!
You can Save a Life before you Save a Soul!

RE: Saddleback.com Web Form Submission

RE: Saddleback.com Web Form Submission

Thanks for your inquiry. Pastor Rick has responded publicly to this question many times.

The rumor is called "Chrislam." Saddleback Church and Pastor Rick are not involved in "Chrislam" in any way. Pastor Rick is not the promoter of "Chrislam," the Koran is not placed in our worship center, we are not reading from the Koran, we are not interweaving the faiths, and have not taken down crosses. (We have crosses all over the church property—three on a small hill in front of the children's building; one atop the church building; and at our San Juan Saddleback campus, three fifty foot crosses are illuminated on a hill that commuters can see for miles.) Also, we are not a part of a "one world religion," are not "New Age," and Pastor Rick would NEVER deny the deity of Christ! We believe the Holy Bible is the only inspired, inerrant Word of God. Pastor Rick was quoted as saying in his interview with John Piper when asked if the Muslim God and the Christian God are the same, "My God looks like Jesus Christ…if your God doesn't look like Jesus then the God we worship cannot be the same….sorry."

You can also read what Pastor Warren says for himself below. This is an answer he posted in the comment section of a blog where others had attacked him:

"Several of the above comments are completely incorrect, based on believing 2nd hand false rumors instead of finding out the facts before speaking up. 'Only a fool believes all he hears.' Proverbs 14:15

"The so-called 'Chrislam' rumor is 100% false. If the guy who started this libelous myth, or anyone else who passed it on, had obeyed our Lord's command (Matt. 18:18-20) to come directly to me, and then asked what I actually believed - they would have been embarrassed to learn that I believe the exact opposite. As a 4th generation Christian pastor, my life & ministry is built on the truth that Jesus is the only way, and our inerrant Bible is our only true authority.

"As an evangelist, I spend much of my time speaking to non-Christian groups. You cannot win your enemies to Christ; only your friends, so we must build bridges of friendship and love to those who believe differently so Jesus can walk across that bridge into their hearts. Besides, it is not a sin, but rather COMMANDED by Jesus that we love our enemies. In the past 10 years, Saddleback Church has baptized over 22,000 new adult believers- simply because we express love to those who don't know Christ yet.

"It is nonsense to believe that you must compromise your belief or water down your convictions in order to love someone, or even just treat them with dignity. Jesus was called 'the friend of sinners' by the legalistic Pharisees because he hung out with (and clearly loved) unbelievers. I HOPE YOU will: 1) Always believe that EVERYONE needs Jesus as their Lord & Savior; 2) Have the courage to associate with nonbelievers in order to love them and bring them to the Savior; 3) Consider being called 'a friend of sinners' a Christ-like compliment; and 4) Refuse to pass on rumors until you've checked for the truth with the person accused. The false statements above should be removed."

We are an Evangelical church that believes in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as the ONLY way to reconciliation with God. We stand for the truth.

If you'd like to know more about Rick's sound doctrinal beliefs, you can check out his interview with John Piper at http://www.desiringgod.org/blog/posts/john-piper-interviews-rick-warren-on-doctrine.

Thanks for following God's Word (Matthew 18) and coming directly to us for the truth!

Prayer of Hope

Abba Father,

Help us know the best plan you have laid out for our lives, You know the plans, the one that gives us hope and a future! Help us keep our eyes on Jesus whatever storm we are in. Help up not look at the hurricane winds or the stormy seas, but keep our focus on the Master who said "Peace be still"! Help us to be still, You told us to come to You all who are weary and heavy ladened and You would give us rest. Jesus gives us the rest that will heal our body, soul, mind and spirit. Refresh our spirits and give us the mind of Christ. Thank You for the Heavenly Armor that protects us. We aren't alone in this world, in this journey we call life, You gave us so much more that we haven't even imagined yet.

Prayer for Homeless People

Prayer for Homeless People

Abba Father,

Hear our prayer today for all women and men, boys and girls who are homeless this day.
For those sleeping under bridges, on park benches, in doorways or bus stations.
For those who can only find shelter for the night but must wander in the daytime.
For families broken because they could not afford to pay the rent.
For those who have no relatives or friends who can take them in.
For those who have no place to keep possessions that remind them who they are.
For those who are afraid and hopeless.
For those who have been betrayed by our social safety net.
For all these people, we pray that you will provide shelter, security and hope.
Jesus, help us to see your face in the eyes of every homeless person we meet
so that we may be empowered through word and deed,
and through the means we have,
to bring justice and peace to those who are homeless. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Keeping families together is important!
"Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten."
– David Ogden Stiers

Isaiah 25:4

For You shall be A Refuge to the poor, A Refuge to the needy in his distress, A Shelter from the storm, A Shade from the heat.

Isaiah 58:7
I want you to share your food with the hungry people. I want you to find poor people that don't have homes, and I want you to bring them into your own homes. When you see a man that has no clothes--give him your clothes! Don't hide {from helping those people}; they are just like you.

Every little detail in my life that concerns me is Possible because of You! In Jesus Name, Amen!

1 Peter 5: 6,7 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

Psalm 103: 1-5 "Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."

Psalm 100 "Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."

Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."

Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

John 15: 4, 5. "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

Psalm 34: 17-19. "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all."

I dwell in the midst of Infinite Abundance. The Abundance of God is my Infinite Source.

The River of Life never stops flowing. It flows through me into lavish expression. Good comes to me through unexpected avenues and God works in a myriad of ways to bless me.

I now open my mind to receive my good. Nothing is too good to be true. Nothing is too wonderful to have happen. With God as my Source, Nothing amazes me.

I am not burdened by thoughts of past or future. One is gone. The other is yet to come.

By the power of my belief, coupled with my purposeful fearless actions and my deep rapport with God, my future is created and my abundance made manifest.

I ask and accept that I am lifted in this and every moment into God's Peace. My mind is quiet.

From this day forward I give freely and fearlessly into life and Life gives back to me with magnificent increase. Blessings come in expected and unexpected ways. God provides for me in wondrous ways.

I AM indeed grateful. And I let it be so. In Jesus Name.
Amen!
