DEAR  JOHN AND  DOVES,                   AS YOU ALL KNOW,   LIVING IN THIS WORLD TODAY ,   GROWS MORE DIFFICULT  AS WE SPEAK AND WILL CONTINUE RIGHT DOWN TO THE END....   HERE ARE  A FEW THINGS I'VE PERSONALLY HAD TO LEARN ,    SOME OF THEM THE HARD WAY SOME CAME NATURAL....    1.  '' THOU SHALT WORSHIP THE LORD THY GOD AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE.''..        2.  WHEN YOU PRAY TO THE FATHER IN SECRET,   HE SEES AND HE HEARS.......     3. YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN  OF THEIR TRESSPASSES....    4.  EVERYTHING ON EARTH DECAYS,  GETS OLD,  RUSTS,   GETS STOLEN,   EXCEPT IF ITS A TREASURE FROM HEAVEN AND NOBODY WANTS THEM THESE DAYS.....    5.   IN YOU HEART IS THE DESIRES OF YOUR SPIRIT,  BE IT FOR GOOD OR FOR BAD,    THERE ARE NO FENCES IN THE HEART TO RIDE.....    6.  YOU HAVE TO BE ON SPIRITUAL GUARD 24/7,   IN FULL ARMOR OF GOD,     OR YOU JUST WON'T MAKE IT,     THE ''GATE'' IS ''STRAIT'' AND THE ''PATH'' IS ''NARROW''...''FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT''....      7.   WE ALL HAVE'' LOST'' FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT WE PRAY DILIGENTLY FOR ,  EVEN THOUGH THEY THINK WE'RE ''MENTAL''   AS THEY CONTINUE TO CHOOSE THE  '' WIDE '',   EASY,   ''BROAD''     ''GATE'',   NEVER THE LESS,  WE WILL CONTINUE TO CRY OUT TO JESUS FOR THEM , TILL WE LEAVE..... THEN SADLY,  THEY WILL BE ON THEIR OWN.... ..   8.   HE SAID ''MY YOKE IS EASY AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT''   ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS KEEP HIS COMMAMDMENTS TO THE VERY BEST OF OUR ABILITIES AND LOVE OUR GOD ,   THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE....     9.  I'VE LEARNED THAT IF I STAY ON MY KNEES AND KEEP MY EYES ON    MY JESUS,   MY SAVIOR,   MY KING,  THAT I WILL BE READY WHEN HE CALLS... ''COME HOME''   AND I WILL SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE TOWARD HEAVEN.... 10.  I'VE LEARNED THAT EVERY TIME THE ''COCK CROWED'' IN MY LIFE HE ALWAYS TOOK ME BACK UNDER HIS WING,   WHEN I SAW THE ERROR OF MY WAYS  AND TRUELY REPENTED...   HE'S A GOOD GOD.....   11.  WE ARE LIVING IN THE PROPHETICALLY SPEAKING ''LAST DAYS'' THAT JESUS TOLD US ABOUT....AND TO THINK ABOUT WHAT IS ON THE HORIZON FOR US   AND FOR THE WORLD    IS BREATH TAKING    TO SAY THE LEAST... ITS  ONE THING TO READ ABOUT IT ,  ITS ANOTHER TO LIVE IT...  WE ARE SO PRIVILEDGED TO BE HERE AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME AND WE ARE ABOUT TO WITINESS THE POWER OF OUR GOD IN SUCH A WAY,  NOT UNDERSTOOD BY THE WORLD,   AS OF YET....MAY WE STAY ON THE KNEES OF OUR HEART, IN PRAYER FOR THE LOST , TILL THE END....WE ARE GOING HOME...UNTIL THEN      ECCLESIASTES 11:13-14   JUDY BARBER
