"Searching In 2012 - God Has A Passion"
It is once again Christmas time and there are those that say they
are offended by the use of Christ’s name in Christmas.
In Spanish, Cristo mas means more of Christ, so we need more
of Christ is Christmas than less.
The world likes the more or mas of Christmas but not the
Christ of Christmas.
What about that name?
Luke 21:17
- And ye shall be hated of all men for my
name's sake.
Peter 4:14
- If ye be reproached for the
name of Christ,
happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you.
Christmas is the
celebration of the birth of our Savior.
Matthew 1:21
- And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his
name JESUS: for he
shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 1:23
- Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
No other name has the
power:
Mark 16:17
- And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my
name shall they cast
out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall lay hands
on the sick, and they shall recover.
James 5:14
- Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church;
and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the
name of the Lord:
No other name has the gift of salvation:
John 1:12
- But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the
sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name
Acts 2:21
- And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the
name of the Lord
shall be saved.
Acts 4:12
- Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other
name under heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 10:13
- For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord
shall be saved.
John 5:13
- These things have I written unto you that believe on the
name of the Son of
God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may
believe on the name
of the Son of God.
No other name has the authority:
John 14:13
- And whatsoever ye shall ask in my
name, that will I
do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
1 John 3:23
- And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the
name of his Son
Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
John 20:31
- But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life
through his name.
No other name has the
Glory:
Luke 11:2
- And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy
name.
Hebrews 1:4
- Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by
inheritance obtained a more excellent
name than they.
Hebrews 13:15
- By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God
continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his
name. No other name:
John 1:1
- In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Philippians 2:9
- Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a
name which is above
every name:
Philippians 2:10
- That at the name
of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in
earth, and things under the earth.
Revelation 19:13
- And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his
name is called The
Word of God.
Revelation 19:16
- And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a
name written, KING
OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Let the world have their holidays but for us
as Christians we will celebrate the Name Above All Names and give
Him the Glory due His name Christ, Emmanuel, Jesus, Savior and Lord.

If you need prayer contact Karen Page
or any member of the Twelve Disciples or the Servant Team
Prayer Ministry
The one thing that holds this ministry and
our work together is our prayer ministry headed up by Karen Page and
the prayer team known as the Twelve Disciples.
Did you know that our prayer register has over 300 requests to date?
Each of the names is called out to the Lord everyday not just
on Wednesday. It is a
humbling thing to call out 300 names to the Lord knowing that you
need as much prayer as any of these names.
Many people will be touched by the Lord through Hands Up
Ministry who otherwise might never attend church. |

He Saw You
(author unknown)
Once before the foundation of the world,
Jesus and His Father had a conversation
about the great plan of redemption.
That conversation included you.
Jesus looked down the corridors of time
and knew that you would be born.
He saw your needs when
He said to His Father, "I will go."
At the Father’s appointed time, Jesus came
to earth so that you would never
need to be far from Him. What an incredible
journey He made; what an awesome purpose
He had in mind. You were on His heart.
When He left His home in heaven,
He saw you; When He became a man on earth,
He was seeking you; When He stretched out
His hands upon the cross, He was reaching out
to you; When He returned to His Father,
He was preparing a place for you. He has called
you to shepherd His people. He is the one who
Keeps you, upholds you, and gives you strength,
You are the one He calls His own.

Conservatives
I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the
“right” and Liberals are called the “left.”
By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
“ The heart of the
wise inclines to the right,
but the heart of the fool
to the left
.”
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)
An Angel Wrote:
To handle yourself, use
your head;
To handle others, use your
heart. Remember
that,
Anger is only one letter short
of danger.
If someone betrays you once,
it’s his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it’s
yours. Great minds
discuss ideas; Average
minds discuss events; Small minds
discuss people.
God gives every bird its food;
But he does not throw it into
its nest.
He, who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses friends, loses
more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful people are acts of
nature;
But old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of
others;
You can’t live long enough to
make them all yourself.
The tongue weighs practically
nothing;
But so few people can hold it.
Many people will walk in and out
of your life;
But only true friends will leave
footprints in your heart.

HANDS UP MINISTRY CHRISTMAS 2011
Since
2000 the first year of ministry HUM has adopted at least one
family to provide for their Christmas needs. Each year that
commitment has grown one additional family with the ministry.
As we are completing our twelfth year of ministry we will adopt
twelve families through working with Richmond Redevelopment &
Housing Authority. In total with these twelve families we will
have provided a Christmas celebration for 28 families through
Weed & Seed plus an additional 6 families through Chesterfield
Christmas Mother and 3 at large families and 54 families through
RR&HA. To date 91 families have been blessed by God through
Hands Up Ministry.
"Thank you" to all who donated time, gifts, money, etc. in preparation for Hand Up Ministry's CHRISTmas celebration on December 16, 2011.
Jesus said when you have done it unto the
least of these you have done it unto me. Hands Up Ministry held our annual HUM Christmas at Gilpin Court ministering to twelve families (totaling 29 children) that are working hard to better themselves. We want to thank each and every person that prayed, donated, coordinated and delivered the Christmas presents. We pray that God will bless each person. You can view some pictures of our event by clicking on this link: Pictures Merry Christmas to our HUM family and all our fellow employees at Philip Morris and Altria.
The children we touch today will be our leaders tomorrow. "Put Christ first and you will never be last."
