thank you! and God's blessings on you and yours
Amen and Amen!
That phone call was just so *right.* I think that Jeb deserves to know that we know that he failed. He failed personally, and not in some abstract, general way. He was afraid. He just never trusted that God had given him the power to act.
He didn't defend Terri, and he didn't defend the constitution. He betrayed her and all of us.
no no, BG, copy and paste. I find my hymns sometimes when a song comes to me, by just typing in the first stanza in my browser and copy and paste. Why we can have a regular song fest here!!!!
There's a sweet, sweet spirit in this place, and I know that it's the spirit of the Lord. There's a sweet expression on each face, and I know they feel the presence of the Lord. Sweet Holy Spirit. Sweet Heavenly Dove. Be right here with us, filling us with your love. And with each blessing, we lift our hearts in praise. Without a doubt they'll know that we have been redeemed when we shall leave this place.
Lord...be with Terri. Lord, let Terri be okay and do not let evil men kill her. Lord, hear your people praying.
Prayer Alert from Pastor Dutch Sheets Regarding Terri Schiavo (Pray against Culture of Death)
The Elijah List ^ | March 24, 2005 | Pastor Dutch Sheets

As I am sure is the case with many of you, I have been following the Terri Schiavo situation in Florida very closely. Though I was already concerned and praying, an incredibly strong burden began to overwhelm me yesterday (Wednesday, March 23). As I prayed and processed, I became convinced that this situation is not just about Mrs. Schiavo. As precious as even one soul is to God, I believe this situation is all about our nation.
I feel that God is allowing it to epitomize where we are as a nation, picturing for us the death culture that has overtaken us in America. I do want to be careful at this point not to cast any dispersion on those who have had to make the excruciating decision to disconnect loved ones from life support. I have had to stand with individuals, giving them comfort and support as they made this decision for brain-dead loved ones. However, I have a very deep conviction that is not what is taking place in this case.
Death Will Try to Reign
As this burden began to intensify yesterday, I called Chuck Pierce and Ken Malone (the Strategic Prayer Network state coordinator for Florida). He reminded me of a word Chuck gave about Florida a few months ago. Chuck prophesied, "A strategy will be uncovered out of Florida that will be very detrimental to our land . . . a strategy that will try to mature to stop the plan for this nation out of Florida, to bring confusion in this land." Chuck also told me yesterday that when he gave this word, he saw a death structure in Florida that would become an issue before the nation that death would try to reign from there.
I feel very strongly that if we don't overcome this spirit of death, a new wave of violence and death will be released across our nation. It could manifest through suicides, terrorism, disease, euthanasia, increased abortions, murder, etc. How it manifests may vary, but I am issuing the warning:
If this is allowed to continue in Florida, this spirit of death will be unleashed with a vengeance. But it is not too late to try to stop it! Begin immediately and with great diligence to do the following:
1) Ask God for more time. Pray that Terri not die, even if God has to keep her alive supernaturally for awhile.
2) Repent on behalf of our nation for allowing death to rule through greed and selfishness. Repent for our complacency and dullness to the horrible genocide in America through abortion and other means.
3) Ask God for mercy on us.
4) Stand against this spirit of death. Make biblical decrees against it. Decree that America's covenant with death will be broken (Isaiah 28:15,18), as well as anything else He gives you to pray and decree.
5) Do not turn this over to the courts. It may appear that they have the final say but they don't. For too long, the church has failed to realize that we have more authority on earth than any human institution. We lose by default. Take this situation out of their hands and rule through spiritual authority and weapons. (This is also all about the spiritual battle that is taking place over the ungodly element in our courts.
6) Pray for Governor Jeb Bush. Pray that, like the midwives in Egypt, he refuses to honor this decree of death. Pray that he realizes he is an Esther, placed where he is for such a time as this. Pray that he makes the same stand she did "If I perish, I perish, but I will do what is right in the sight of God" (see Esther 4:16). Pray against fear, compromise and political spirits. Pray for wisdom, strength and boldness. He is a good man and fighting hard. Undergird him.
Let's together break this assault. Let's say "Enough!" I am on my way to Florida as I write this. I will war from there you war from wherever you are. Help us save Terri's life and many other lives, and keep this spirit of death from going to a new level in America. We can do it!
For life,

Bye nanette God's Blessing!!!
I have to pack my things...we are leaving early in the am to spend the weekend with our son and daughter in law and our grandkids. I will be checking in on and off tonight.
Please keep singing and praying as I know God hears our prayers and I know we are all comforted by the prayers and songs. God Bless you all and I am so glad that Terri had so many wonderful people working to save her.
Unfortunately you are correct.. as I've said before..this is the kind of thing that shows who is who.... Jeb has a duty to God as a man in power to save Terri's life.. period.. I'm not interested in the legalities frankly... any law that deprives an innocent of life isn't legal or valid..
He had a tough time trying to look into the camera today explaining why he can't do nothing. It looked like weakness to me. I do pray that he can find courage instead of fear. He reminded me of George Bailey when Potter had him in his office.
I saw a bit on Jeb a while ago on TV. He appeared much different than he did yesterday, he was hesitant, stammering and defensive. The look in his eyes said it all... he's feeling the ramifications of this failure to act on his convictions already.
Bye ruoflaw. Be at PEACE!!!!!
