God Ts Purpose Shall Prevail
oYou can make many: plans,
but the Lord Ts purpose shall
_ prevail. ? Proverbs 19:21
. (NLT)
I believe: it would be a safe
assumption to say that most of
us plan to succeed in life, We
plan to fulfill the purpose of
why we were created.
Somehow, unfortunately, we
have taken the wrong turns in
life that have either detoured or
delayed the fulfillment of the
intended reason of why we
were created. However, today,
I want to-encourage each of
you, as I have encouraged
myself through the Word of |
God. Proverbs 19:21, as it is
written in the New Living
Translation, oYou can make
many plans, but the
Lord Ts. purpose
shall prevail. ?
- When I read this
one morning, my
outlook on
fulfilling my
purpose was
awakened. I have
made many plans
or goals for my life,
but somehow it
was such a fight or
Struggle to see:
them come to pass,
I suddenly realized
that those were my
plans but not the
purpose of God for
my life. My plans
were to excel in corporate
America but God Ts purpose
was for me to use life Ts
experiences to minister to
others. 3
Many times we do not
understand why our lives take
so many unexpected turns, I Tve
_ learned over the years, that the
unexpected events that have
occurred in my life were |
leading me directly to the
purpose of God for my life.
According to. Jeremiah 29:1 l,
it says, oFor I know the plans I
have for you says the Lord,
They are plans for good and not
for disaster, to give you a future
and a hope. ? I am convinced
that God has already prepared
the map for our lives, It Ts up to
us to use the Spiritual
Navigating System to reach our -
divine purpose in Him:
Our plans are limited but the
purpose of God has no limits.

When we acknowledge Him in
all. our ways, He will direct our
paths. Many times our plans
may lead to destruction with
regrets and disappointments as
a testimony. Sometimes our
plans may cause us to
compromise our values and
standards. If we will seek after
God for the true purpose He
intended for us when He
created us, our lives we have
much more fulfillment.
I encourage you today to
evaluate the plans for your life.
After you have evaluated them,
find out where God is in the
midst. In spite of what we
desire to do, God has a greater
purpose in mind. God Ts
thoughts and ways are greater
than ours. Allow God to
perform a 320 in your life.
According to Ephesians 3:20

"
ehind every great church is
a band or me of
Intercessory Prayer Warriors.
They may or may not hold
any positions, and they may
not carry a Title in the church,
but when they pray, it is with
_ POWER! When they pray,
something happens and things
change! They are praying
When others are sleeping.
They are praying when others
are out shopping and
recreating. They are fasting
while others are eating
sumptuous meals.
They are people who believe
that God listens when they
pray for others.
Many of us can testify, that
we are the product of the
Power of Intercessory Prayer.
Have you ever been:so
concerned about someone that
you felt driven to pray for
them? Have. you-ever felt the
prayers of others for you? Are
you a prayer warrior? Would
you like to be one?
There are many great
intercessors in the bible,
among which are Abraham,
Solomon, Daniel,
Hezekiah.....the list goes on
and on! But, the greatest
* intercessor by far is our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ, for
he interceded to God the
Father on behalf of all
Mankind. Scripture shows us
that Jesus was an intercessor
for the sins of many, (Isaiah
53:12). In Luke 22:32, he
made intercession for the
weak brethren: Jesus even
interceded for his enemies,
when he said, oFather forgive
them, for they know not what
they do. ? In Luke 23:34. We
are saved because of the
Lord Ts intercession.
(Hebrews 7:28)
As Christ Ts disciples, we are
to follow in his footsteps, and
to do what he would do when
confronted with the same

Lawmaker mulls old Duke
idea: Paid sterilization
by The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS - A
suburban New Orleans
legislator has proposed
revisiting an idea from former
Ku Klux Klan leader David
Duke: paying poor women to
undergo sterilization as a way
to shrink welfare rolls and
government costs.
Rep. John LaBruzzo Ts
suggestion prompted outrage
Wednesday from several of
his fellow lawmakers and
advocacy groups, The
Louisiana chapter of the
American Civil Liberties
Union called the idea mean-
spirited and said it would s . feat: a yo
discriminate against black Rt
Louisianians,
LaBruzzo, R-Metairie; said
the idea would involve the
state giving $1,000 to women
who rely on government
support like welfare and food
stamps if they agree to have
their fallopian tubes tied, He
said it was too early to say
whether he would introduce
such a bill during the 2009
legislative session, but he said
he was researching it.
people using government to
support them as opposed to
those who are supporting
government with their taxes,
government will collapse as
we know it and will cease to
exist, ? LaBruzzo said in a
phone interview.
The idea " first reported this
week in an article.in New
Orleans CityBusiness " lit
up talk radio lines and
prompted fiery debate on
blogs around the country, The
former chairman of the
Louisiana Legislative Black
Caucus said the idea was
discriminatory,
oLaBruzzo Ts an idiot, ? said
Rep. Juan LaFonta, D-New
Orleans, whose tenure.as
black caucus chairman ended
this summer. oI think it Ts
totally disrespectful to poor
people in this country. ?
The proposal appeared HYG | al Page er: | .
unlikely to garner the support wi) ee Ci ior: alae . SOLE) CER oe
needed for passage in the fii T
Louisiana Legislature.
Gov. Bobby Jindal Ts office,
when asked to comment on
the idea, responded with a
statement from Chief of Staff ie
Timmy Teepell. oIt Ts a non-
starter, ? Teepell said.
House Speaker Jim Tucker,
R-Terrytown, also said he
didn Tt believe the proposal
would gain traction, oI doubt | ?
it, but he Ts free to put in a bill
and see where it goes, ?
Tucker said,
The voluntary sterilization *
idea isn Tt new in Louisiana. t
Duke, who held LaBruzzo Ts
State House seat from 1989 to
1992, first raised the idea.
Opponents of such plans have
long called the proposal
racist, a suggestion LaBruzzo
vehemently denied
Wednesday. He said more
whites than blacks receive
welfare checks in the state.

The mouth is filled. with countless bacteria. These
bacteria produce toxins and enzymes that irritate the gums
and cause inflammation. This can lead to damaged
attachment of the gums and bone to the teeth. This is how
periodontal disease begins and progresses until there is loss -
of teeth. There are several risk factors that contribute to its
progression and speed of progression, such as cigarettes or
tobacco usage, systemic diseases, multiple medications, ill-
fitting dental work, hormonal changes and genetics. But
what you probably didn Tt know is the effects that gum
disease has on your body! Research now shows, without a
shadow of a doubt, that gum disease plays a key role in the
development of coronary heart disease, which can
potentially cause heart attacks, strokes and infective
endocarditis(inflammation of the inner lining of the heart
and/or its valves). Ultimately, any of these adverse side
effects could lead to death. There is also a strong correlation
between gum disease and pneumonia, emphysema, COPD,
bronchitis and premature births. Unfortunately, pre-term -
breathing and lung problems. In severe cases, pre-maturity
can and more times too often results in death. There are
several underlying major diseases that are accelerated and -
become more aggressive because of gum disease, Research
shows that infection in the mouth creates a constant source
of infection into our bloodstream. This puts a huge strain
on our immune system and ultimately brings down our
overall health and well-being. | | | |

people who say that are racist
because they see everything
as black and white. They are
racist because they assume
everyone on Welfare is black, ?
LaBruzzo said.
Marjorie Bouisis the ;
executive director of the
American Civil Liberties
Union of Louisiana, didn Tt
call LaBruzzo Ts proposal
racist. But she said it would ~
have racial implications
because blacks are : :
disproportionately poorer in
the country.
She said the idea was a
misguided attempt to
eliminate poverty by
eliminating the poor. Esman -
said LaBruzzo should suggest
instead proposals. that would
provide economic and
educational opportunities to
the poor so they can improve
their circumstances, ~~
oWe would not want those
people to feel like they have a
quick cash incentive to give
up their rights to have
children. You have people -
being pressured to take
money when they Tre in
desperate circumstances, ?
Esman said. :
LaBruzzo tossed such
criticism aside,
oThey Tre not responsible
enough to make this decision,
but they Tre responsible
enough to raise eight kids and
makg them productive
members of society? ? he said,
LaBrozzo said a state
incentive for voluntary
sterilization was one of
several ideas he was studying
__ as he looked at ways to break
othe generational welfare
cycle. ? He said he Ts received
more phone calls from people -
supporting the proposal oat 8:
criticizing it,
Louisiana welfare data
indicate that LaBruzzo Ts 8
Claims about rising welfare
costs are Gnfoiinded: The
number of people collecting
welfare has every
year for almost two decades,
In the 2006-07 fiscal year,
- more than 13,000 recipients
_ got welfare checks in
_ Louisiana, for a cost of $16.5
million, aecording to data
from the Louisiana
Department of Social
Services. That Ts down from
279,000 recipients'in 1990-
91, costing $187,9 million.
Food stamp usage has
remained more steady. In the
1990-91 year, food stamps
were given to nearly 737,000
recipients, at a cost of $585
- thillion, By 2006-07, the
number of recipients had
dropped to nearly 616,000,
~ but the cost had grown to
$742 million.
LaFonita said LaBruzzo T §
obeen known as the dumbest
_ legislator in the House of
Representatives, ? He
compared the sterilization
: an posal to oa page out of a
of communism ? and to
- Hitler Ts exterminations of the
Jews and other groups
considered undesirable.
The idea also recalls the
legacy of eugenics in the
United States. In the first half
of the 20th century, more than
two dozen states passed laws |
allowing the involuntary
osterilization of those deemed
unfit for reproduction,
including convicts and those
with what were considered
~ mental or Physical defects.
, LaFonta Said just the mention
~ Of voluntary sterilization of
poor women hurts Louisiana
nationally as it seeks federal
aid from hurricanes Gustav
and Ike - "- and continuing
assistance to oe the cs
oThis is going to hammer us
