Good afternoon everybody,
Do you know the Father loves you? I mean do you KNOW the Father loves you? Let me put it this way… What are you worth to your heavenly Father? Ten million dollars? All the gold, diamonds and pearls in the world? No, you are not worth that much. (gasp) J
You are so much more valuable than that!!! Your Father, who created the entire earth for you, (including gold, diamonds and pearls) gave up His precious only son, and every drop of His blood. The single most valuable commodity in the universe was freely offered, without any regret or even a second thought! Just for you!!! He loves you!! He loves you with an everlasting love!!!
Romans 8:32 says even more.
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (all things?) all things!!
If He gave you His son, He will help you pay your bills. He will heal your body. He will protect your kids. He will freely give you all things! Because He LOVES you!!
Believe it. Believe it deep within. Your Father loves you!!!

Jesus Today
Good evening everyone,
Acts 1 says something cool, when you stop to think about it.
1 In my first book[a] I told you, Theophilus, about everything Jesus began to do and teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven after giving his chosen apostles further instructions through the Holy Spirit. 3 During the forty days after his crucifixion, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God.
Notice that in verse 1 it says that the first book (the book of Luke) was an account of all Jesus began, to do and teach. Not what He finished. So what Luke is saying is that Jesus is still doing and teaching in this book. And this book, called Acts, is still being written. We are part of the same church. Jesus had ascended, and believers were walking by faith just like us. They were baptized in the Holy Spirit just like we can be. In fact, they were all tongue talkers, and they had mega-churches. I mean the very first day they had 3120 members and it only went up from there. So the charismatic mega-churches of today would look familiar to Peter, Paul, Barnabus, etc. We are members of the same body, with the same responsibility. Go preach the gospel to every creature. Cast out demons, heal the sick, cleanse lepers, raise the dead. (I am quoting scripture!) you know, common ordinary stuff. J
Wow! I know, you are thinking ‘well, these guys were full time ministers’. I challenge you to read the book again and look for normal people like Philip, Stephen, Precilla, Aquilla, and comments about the whole group. They had regular jobs. They had families to feed and bills to pay just like us. Check them out and let them inspire you to love a little more, trust Him a little more, find a little darkness and shine a little more. That is all they did, and it changed the world. It changed us!! Thank God they did not give up.
Jesus is still doing and teaching today, through his body, YOU! And me. Let’s change our world.
I love y’all,, world changers!

Sound Waves
Good evening everybody,
My dear friend Melony went up in a hot air balloon once. She said that even though they were very high they could still hear people talking in their backyards. Sound waves travel the globe! Selah. And Jesus is the voice of our confession in heaven!
I love you all,

Speak Life!
Good afternoon everybody,
I was shown this scripture about intercession a while ago. Proverbs 31.
8Open your mouth for the dumb [those unable to speak for themselves], for the rights of all who are left desolate and defenseless; 9Open your mouth, judge righteously, and administer justice for the poor and needy.
Sound waves are important. Remember that is how Almighty God created the world, universe and us. He spoke. And we are spirits, created in the image and likeness of God, with the ability to speak like He does. Hallelujah!
With that in mind, I would like to ask for your sound waves. When I come to your mind, would you please say out loud, ‘by His stripes Nancy is healed. ‘ (it doesn’t have to be very loud, but actual sound waves) I would greatly appreciate the intercession. You guys are major blessings to me and my family! Thank you so much for your words. My computer can speak for me, too, but you all are spirits. Powerful stuff!
Our theme at AHA the past few years was ‘speak life’. What a good motto.
I really love y’all dearly!

Trust Demands Rest
Good evening everybody,
I was listening to a message about faith and trust. Faith is confidence. Trust goes further, it demands rest in the Lord. It is commitment to God and His word no matter what goes on in the physical. And rest commands results. Hebrews talks about the rest of faith, or trust. (according to this speaker)
Hebrews 11:1 says now faith is the substance (physical matter) of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. If you hope for it, faith is the substance. If you don’t see it, faith is your evidence. Now roll your cares on Him and rest! Praise God and thank Him for the answer.
I love you all .

Seek Ye First
Good evening everybody,
Another visit to God, our source. Matthew 6.
26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father (the Source) feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God (the Source) clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father (the Source) knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
What does it mean to seek first? Well, ‘first’ means earliest, of primary importance, highest priority, taking preeminence. So seek the kingdom of God, your source, early. Proverbs says seek wisdom as precious treasure. Highest priority. Above your job. Above your kids. Above your favorite shows. Above food.
Of course that doesn’t mean quit working or eating! And the kids need you too, but make time for your source, your father, your savior, your Lord.
You know the more attention you give something, the more you like it. The less time you give something, the less you want to. Your desire for something is in direct relation to the quality time you give it. That is why Jesus said make Him first. Everything else will fall into place when you keep Him in preeminence all day long, just checking in with Him inside. Read (eat) His word first thing to set your spirit, then a little before bed so that, as it says in Psalms, your heart will instruct you in the night. It doesn’t take much time to get a verse in. That is all it takes if you keep your mind on the truth in the verse. Seek ye first!
I love you all,

Jesus Opened NOT His Mouth - Part 2
Hello everyone,
First off, please note the new email account nancy_bass@verizon.net
Isaiah 53 says lots of wonderful things about what Jesus did for us, and one thing He did not do, for us. He did not open His mouth. Acts 22 tells about a riot against Paul, and the roman soldiers got ready to beat him. He opened his mouth. He knew his rights as a roman citizen. He insisted on them. And the soldiers backed off quick! If you were not a citizen, you were nobody. You could buy a citizenship, you could earn it through some military feat, or you could be born of a citizen.
This is in the bible. Why? To show us how to act. (hallelujah! I know where we’re going!) we are citizens of the only kingdom that will matter through time and eternity. Our names are written down in a book. If you are not in this kingdom, you really are nobody. But while we are here on earth we have rights! Jesus didn’t open His mouth so we can open ours. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!
I love you all.
