The meditation today on knowing God's peace in every situation is just what I needed as I am about to minister to a deaf fellah in our church. He lacks peace concerning how to know God's will as he prays. I have mentioned his situation to the Prayer Community and many are praying for him as we meet. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the encouragement....its keeps me moving even when I feel like I have come to the end of the road. There has so much thorns in my life, From being mugged and loosing all my documents and cash, my children getting sick, my Visa application getting rejected to not being given my yearly salary increament. All this has left me bruised in the heard but I thank God that My trust in him is still burning hot and I still hold on for I know tha He has great plans for me. Amen and God bless you.

Thank you very much for your prayers. I truely felt them and the presence of God yesterday in a very difficult situation in which I had no control over. I knew God was present and He was carrying me through the fire. May God Bless You and Each and Every One of your prayer partners in a great and mighty way. Peace Be With You Always. Terry

I experience that peace yesterday in a very trying situtation that was totally out of my control. I faced many obsticles but knew no matter how hopeless things seemed to be or how impossible they may seem to overcome, Jesus was in control. I gave all my worries and fears to him and he gave me peace. I know he was with me and probably even carrying me on his shoulders. May the peace of the Lord Be With You Always.

That is a very insightful illumination of Psalm 23; you can really picture the whole scene there. Jesus our Shepherd leading us to all the right places where we can rest and be at peace; and going ahead of us to prepare the way; protecting us and comforting us; and all we have to do is keep our eye on our Shepherd; and trust him to lead us safely through whatever we are facing in our lives at this time; that we will come out OK on the other side of the valley, and we will be blessed for it. A very comforting and encouraging message today ... thanks!

I have spent most of my life living for gain and trying to "get ahead" in life, but in recent years I've realized that I do need the peace that God can bring to life when you put His will first and not your own and that is the most important thing. Success on my own terms without God's help and glory means nothing to me personally. John 14:27 connects with me today in a way that I have many questions today about what exactly the bible says about capital punishment. God allowed it in in the Old Testament but I have thought that Christ changed the laws under the New Covenant. I really am confused about this subject but I can hear God telling me to just have peace and answers and truth will come in time. see you, Kenny Woodstock Illinois

Wow! This really hit home for me. My kids are grown and on their own, but we have dogs in the house and are currently having to use gates. These gates allow us to keep two dogs apart who had a fight and are still angry at each other. One dog is confined to the kitchen and master bedroom, and a gate (actually a banquet table on its side) separates the kitchen from the living room, where the other dog is now. The second gate is a baby gate between the living room and the back bedrooms and back door. It keeps the dogs from getting to the back door when we need to have it open for more than a moment. We are finding more and more uses for the gates, allowing us to do what we need to do without losing dogs out a door, having two dogs we love hurt each other again, or just keeping them out of the kitchen for my sanity. Now, if there was only something I could use to keep my cats out of the kitchen! Oh -- and yes, my legs are getting quite a workout, hurdling over the kitchen "gate."

I recently had to force myself to get into the habit of taking a sabbath rest, and intiailly it was boring and frustrating; the day seemed to go on forever and I felt like I was wasting a day, thinking of all the things I should be doing. But the day is a gift and a command from God, and I am thankful for it and enjoy it now. His ways are always best.

I missed HOP yesterday , however the sattellite shows the program at least 4 or 5 different days during the week , (TBN or The GOD CHANNEL) which is great . It was a very timely word for me .--------Quote-- (when you come out of this valley, here's what God says: "You will come out protected on every side. The only thing that the sheep had to do is to keep walking, keep following, keep trusting, and not quit too ) Thank you BISHOP ULMER . Thank you HOUR OF POWER .

Thank you for this encouraging word , at times we would see ourselves in darkness , and then it is hard to focus , we ask the question how long , or when will it pass . Turning to the Psalms is a great comfort in dark times . IMMANUEL GOD is with us .Thank you HEAVENLY FATHER .

By staying in touch with the people of God and believing that they are out there also struggling through the darkness with hope in the promises of the Lord to be with us. Believing that the Holy Spirit is God's gift to us and that through His awesome power to redeem, He will. Fighting doubt, fear and rebellion with the honesty of what is evil in His sight and what is good. Choosing to do the good and asking for His help in all this. Knowing that nothing was made that is made and that He is the greatest of all things, faith, hope and that the greatest is love. God is love. Without Him we have nothing. He is all we need. He will not fail.

This was such a blessing to me! I have described some trials I went through a few years ago as walking in a dark tunnel. For the first time in my life, I couldn't feel God's presence. I felt like I was just inching my way through that dark tunnel, groping the walls, unable to see any light. Even though I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, I knew I just needed to keep walking towards where I knew I would see that light eventually. I knew my Heavenly Father was there beside me even though I couldn't feel or hear Him. How did I "know these things" because I trusted in my Lord's word, character and promises. Reading this today was like putting the last pieces of a puzzle into place...it put into words what I felt and experienced. It is truly in the dark places that our faith finds it's sure footing and what a comfort to know that the darkness is as light to the Lord. Thank you for this message today!

I am going through a very tough time at home. Therefore, for the past couple of days, I have been repeating over and over again - Lord, You are my strength, You are my song, You are my salvation. I will praise You and I will exalt You! How truly wonderful to get this devotion today, confirming my prayers!

Thank you for the daily devotions we recieve each day to meditate on ,---This one has caused me also to think about the scripture--- Eccl . 11:1 Cast your bread upon the water for thou shall find it after many days .--- How true that scripture has become in my life .

Sorry , what I meant to say was that God wants me to be a doer of his word., but my siblings will now let me. , If my sibling would only take the time to see. how God has helped me overcome all those obstacles to be the person that I am today. Plus to realize how God had his hand in all those accidents my brother has had, and bow bow down to say thank you God for saving my life. He has had five accidents 4 auto and then fell 18 feet out of a tree. H e lucky to be alive.

Thank you for the message today. There are times when we must do what seems like the impossible, and the Lord provides, although he may let us pass through "deep waters". But, even in those times, our testimony honors Him. Rev. Robert Overstreet

Like a mustard seed. . . . But I, I admire the courage and persistence of Mrs. Roebling who, as a 19th century woman alone explained and made come about her husband's instructions. For years and unwaveringly facing scepticism, argument, disbelief and yet perduring. What a woman ! Yet who remembers her ? But at least you did mention her, thanks. I am not a rabid feminist (an engineer actually), but where credit is due, its due. Thank you and your family for having been a inspiration for all these 33 years I have known you. haggar_dunord

This meditation on making your dream a reality is excellent, and speaks of all that the ministry of Crystal Cathedral is about - enabling individuals to see their dreams turn into realities. Praise the Lord.

It is so true that even a person without love can still have hope. Even a hardened criminal has hope to do his criminal act and hopes to live or get something from it, even mercy or a rescue in the deepest part of his own hardened heart. Hope is the real thing people want to have even when depressed or chased down by some other enemy. Hope is the anchor. It is deep down like one would hang from a ship in the sea. Or even if it is drawn up on the ship while it is moving on the sea, the anchor has hope to bring it down to rock bottom. Even there, hope lies still and is all in God's hand. So a drowing soul can find the truth everywhere as it goes down. There is time because of hope and it is one of the three greatest things.

HOPE is essentially what JESUS brings to us all along with his free gift of salvation, mercy, and grace: Hope for today and tomorrow, and for all eternity. So the HOP brings Hope to many by sharing JESUS with them, plus all the many other inspirational messages you offer there. Happy Birthday to HOP, and thanks ...

I love the scripture verse Isaiah 40 :31 , I have been an Eagle for a long time , during the HOP service we see the Eagle soaring , to be able to see these magnificent birds in flight is a thing of beauty . David the psalmist would have seen these bird in all areas of flight many many times . Dear HEAVENLY FATHER help us to soar like the Eagle , to become the people you want us to be .

Greetings from Canada! I believe that how you focus your life determines if you are or will be a Turkey or an Eagle. I get my inspiration from the Hour of Power to make your impossible dreams possible when you look inside yourself and partner with God. I decided to test this theory, 'you can go anywhere by starting from nothing'. Myself, I want to help Seniors (50 Plus) to become more productive, creative and useful to Society in their retirement life, instead of selfishly wasting their life in the pursuit of leisure activities. As a result with my personal goal of becoming an Eagle I started the 'Seniorpreneur Project' with a single post on a local Seniors website. After planting this seed I'm now working on a Book. With God ALL things are possible! Joe Wasylyk
