Pointer Organist JoAnn Pointer 1420 N. Florida Ave. Tampa, FL 33602 www.geconline.org 813-273-4469 Turnabout God, for so long I thought that by praying I could change Your mind. Often I prayed Fervently, pleadingly Until I felt Emotionally, pulverized. Then I gradually began to grasp That the purpose of prayer Is to find Your mind and let You change mine. Little by little The turnabout is renewing me. Slowly I begin to feel A settling quietness. I wait while You woo me To Your will, dear Lord. I wait until my thoughts Harmonize with Yours. For in my deepest heart Despite my guarded resistance I somehow sense That what You want for me Is stupendously more Than anything I could Dream or wish or want For myself.

01/29/12 Silent Killers Hebrews 2:14-15 Hebrews 9:27 (Heb 2:14) Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; (Heb 9:27) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Heb 9:27) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Prov 29:18) Where there is no vision, the people perish: (2 Cor 7:10) For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (1 John 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (John 3:16) that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, (Mat 13:58) And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. (Mark 16:14) Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief (Heb 3:12) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, (Heb 3:19) So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. (James 1:5-8) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (Phil 3:14) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (1 Th 4:1 that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. (Heb 11:16) But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. (Heb 11:10) For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (Heb 13:14) For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. (Hosea 4:6) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: (Luke 4:4) And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. (John 6:63) the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (Luke 13:3) I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Rom 6:23) For the wages of sin is death; (Luke 13:3) I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
