HANDS UP
Christians Creating the Future at Philip Morris

ONE ACCORD
FATAL FEAR
FIGHTERS CHALLENGES – Who
Is Hands Up PHILIP MORRIS, The vision of
Hands Up was
conceived in the early morning hours of October 22, 1999 while Tom
Meadows was at the Homestead Adventure “Creating the Future”.
He announced the dream of
Hands Up to the group
before Vice President Dave Milby and the body of PM employees at the
morning meeting. The
birth of Hands Up occurred today January 13, 2000 at 12:15 p.m. in
the MC Basement 1 Conference Room with nine joyful people meeting.
As a starting
point Tom would ask that you read John 17:11/26.
When you finish focus on verse 20, this is us.
We hope this scripture, given to Tom as he started his note,
will fill you with the confirmation of empowerment that we will do
and are doing HIS will. Jesus, Others and
You. JOY.
Widen the circle by spreading the WORD and the word about our
group. We plan to meet on
Thursdays at 12:15 at rotating sites that someone will reserve space
and advise the group.
Those interested in joining should be added to the distribution list
for
Hands Up.
THE ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE:
The Servant Team – Leaders: Tom Meadows, Ruth
Johnson, Richard Hatcher, Delois Maddox, and Jackie Hager |

(continued from
page 1) peace, long
–suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
They that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the
affections and lusts.
What:
We must develop the Character of Jesus
How:
By developing the fruits of the Spirit
Matthew 7:20 –
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall
know them. Each fruit of the
Spirit enable the individual believer to better cope with adverse
situations that arise in his life.
There is not any situation, trial, or condition that a child
of God will face that one of the fruits of the Spirit will not
enable him to overcome.
What Often Stops Us -
F.E.A.R. = False
Evidence Appearing Real
- equivalent to what CTF refers to as Making Stuff Up (MSU) Intimidation –
David and Goliath - See
yourself as being victorious, get a vision of victory.
Tim 1:7 -
God has not given us the spirit of
fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Hebrews 13:5,6-
God will never leave or forsake us.
The Lord is my helper and I will not fear what man shall do
unto me.
Romans 8:31-
if God be for us, who can be against us.
John 10:10
-
Fear gives way to the enemy to steal, kill and destroy.
Fear destroys hearts and minds.
Fear fights faith.
Fear causes us to live as a defeated foe.
II.
Growing Up Spiritually
Moving from the
“Me” to “We” – The fruit of “love” moves us away from me to we.
We can not begin to move from “Me” to “We” until we
diligently cultivate and develop an individual love relationship
with our heavenly Father.
When we love God – (all things work together … and we are
more than conquerors)
John 13:34,35- Then, we are to love
one another. It is the
love that we show toward one another that will win |
those of darkness
into light. It is
important that we love at all times, because God is love.
John 4:7,8 -
He that loveth not, knoweth not God;
for God is love.
III.
Who Are You:
1Peter 2:5,9 –
We are representatives of Christ.
Lively stones a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a
peculiar people. We are peculiar
because we do not act as the world acts.
Our faith will be tried, but count it all joy when you fall
into divers temptations Let patience have
its perfect works: see that your heart not be troubled; stand up
under pressure, persecution, distress; open the door to good works;
have an excellent spirit; have great meekness and self control. Some Believers
obey the Voice of God as it is revealed to them, yet, they obey in
the wrong spirit: arrogant in their actions and tries to justify
rude actions. They
carry out God’s will in the wrong spirit.
We can not be rude to people, then expect a favorable
response. Rude
treatment to those in public service and in authority displays a
negative witness to others.
Gentleness is what people see in a Believer, goodness is what
they outwardly experience. When we lose your
kindly disposition, we are no longer useful to God.
It is by our behavior, that we can win or lose an
unbeliever. Unbelievers
can win, by watching the lives of Believers, and beholding their
“chaste” manner of life.
You can never be sure of who is watching you or who life
you will have an impact on…

“Who Are You” – 2/24/00 – Jackie
Hager Demonstration by
the use of two batteries who we are without a source.
The two batteries standing alone were only two batteries, but
in the end he showed how when connected to the SOURCE (Jesus) the
two batteries become a source of light.
Story about the
enemy having a yard sale.
He had told all to come; that he was selling everything that
he had. Some came and
bought hatred, drunkardness, adultery, and all those evil things.
One Late Comer came and there was one box left.
She wanted that last box, but the enemy refused to give that
one up. She asked him,
what was so special about that box and he said, “That box is doubt”.
He wanted to keep that one, because if he could cause one to
doubt, then he had him/her.
Genesis 3:1-5
Doubt preceded the
other 4D’s: Doubt makes
us question the Word of God and His goodness; Doubt leads to
Discouragement; Discouragement leads to Diversion (not what it
appears to be); Diversion to Defeat; and Defeat to Delay – (doing
something that never gets done, a delay in action and thought.

PROMISE YOURSELF
Promise yourself to be so strong that
nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you
meet. To make all your
friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true. To
think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only
the best. To be just as
enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the
greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every
living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to improvement of yourself that you have
no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong
for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
