Brown ,<lb />God Ts Purpose Shall Prevail<lb /><lb /> oYou can make many: plans,<lb /><lb />but the Lord Ts purpose shall<lb />_ prevail. ? Proverbs 19:21<lb /><lb />. (NLT)<lb /><lb />I believe: it would be a safe<lb /><lb />assumption to say that most of<lb />us plan to succeed in life, We<lb />plan to fulfill the purpose of<lb />why we were created.<lb />Somehow, unfortunately, we<lb />have taken the wrong turns in<lb />life that have either detoured or<lb />delayed  the fulfillment of the<lb />intended reason of why we<lb />were created. However, today,<lb />I want to-encourage each of<lb />you, as I have encouraged<lb /><lb />myself through the Word of |<lb /><lb />God. Proverbs 19:21, as it is<lb />written in the New Living<lb />Translation,  oYou can make<lb /><lb />many plans, but the<lb /><lb />Lord Ts. purpose<lb /><lb />shall prevail. ?<lb />- When I read this<lb />one morning, my<lb />outlook on<lb />fulfilling my<lb />purpose was<lb />awakened. I have<lb />made many plans<lb />or goals for my life,<lb />but somehow it<lb />was such a fight or<lb />Struggle to see:<lb />them come to pass,<lb />I suddenly realized<lb />that those were my<lb />plans but not the<lb />purpose of God for<lb />my life. My plans<lb />were to excel in corporate<lb />America but God Ts purpose<lb />was for me to use life Ts<lb />experiences to minister to<lb />others. 3<lb /><lb />Many times we do not<lb />understand why our lives take<lb />so many unexpected turns, I Tve<lb /><lb />_ learned over the years, that the<lb /><lb />unexpected events that have<lb /><lb />occurred in my life were |<lb /><lb />leading me directly to the<lb />purpose of God for my life.<lb />According to. Jeremiah 29:1 l,<lb />it says,  oFor I know the plans I<lb />have for you says the Lord,<lb />They are plans for good and not<lb />for disaster, to give you a future<lb />and a hope. ? I am convinced<lb />that God has already prepared<lb />the map for our lives, It Ts up to<lb />us to use the Spiritual<lb /><lb />Navigating System to reach our -<lb /><lb />divine purpose in Him:<lb /><lb />Our plans are limited but the<lb />purpose of God has no limits.<lb /><lb /> " " " "L "L " " " "=_ " "_ "_ "_ "__.._._..___<lb /><lb />Coming To The Performing Art Center<lb /><lb /> oNO MORE THAN I CAN BEAR<lb /><lb />My name is Sherida Suggs.<lb />Tam 28-years old, born and<lb />raised in North Carolina.

My future<lb />goals include writing,<lb />directing, and producing my<lb />own inspirational play(s),<lb />creating a gospel album, and<lb />giving back to my community<lb />and church in a positive way,<lb />I became interested in drama<lb />because I felt that my mission<lb />in life was to touch the lives<lb />of other people by using the<lb />gifts and talents that God has<lb />blessed me with. I wanted to<lb />spread the word to others<lb />about the choices that we<lb />make in life that can and will<lb />affect our future, Having<lb />made many unwise choices as<lb />a teenager, and still as an<lb />adult I was saved by God Ts<lb />grace,<lb /><lb />[have been acting since 2001<lb /><lb />beginning with TDM, in<lb /><lb /> T.

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

Have. you-ever felt the<lb />prayers of others for you? Are<lb />you a prayer warrior? Would<lb />you like to be one?<lb /><lb />There are many great<lb />intercessors in the bible,<lb />among which are Abraham,<lb />Solomon, Daniel,<lb />Hezekiah.....the list goes on<lb />and on! But, the greatest<lb /><lb />* intercessor by far is our Lord<lb /><lb />and Savior Jesus Christ, for<lb />he interceded to God the<lb />Father on behalf of all<lb /><lb /> Mankind. Scripture shows us<lb /><lb />that Jesus was an intercessor<lb />for the sins of many, (Isaiah<lb />53:12). In Luke 22:32, he<lb />made intercession for the<lb />weak brethren: Jesus even<lb />interceded for his enemies,<lb />when he said,  oFather forgive<lb /><lb />them, for they know not what<lb />they do. ? In Luke 23:34. We<lb />are saved because of the<lb />Lord Ts intercession.<lb />(Hebrews 7:28)<lb /><lb />As Christ Ts disciples, we are<lb />to follow in his footsteps, and<lb />to do what he would do when<lb />confronted with the same<lb />issues. We can name it and<lb />claim it all day long, but until<lb />we live it, we are not |<lb />Christians! We are not<lb /><lb />rfect, but we are forgiven!<lb />We all have a measure of<lb />faith, and we all have the<lb />capacity to love one another.<lb /><lb />This is the mark of true<lb />discipleship, for by this shall<lb />men know that we are his<lb />disciples, because we have<lb />love one for another,<lb /><lb />Intercessory Prayer shows.<lb />servant Ts heart. When we love<lb />him enough to keep his<lb />commandments, we can love<lb />one another enough to pray<lb />for each other,<lb /><lb />Jesus is the perfect example<lb />for one who is striving to<lb />please God the Father.<lb /><lb />Just as Jesus interceded for<lb />sinners, a true intercessors Ts<lb />heart cry is the same as his<lb />Lord Ts. We are saved, because<lb /><lb />somebody prayed for us, If<lb /><lb />you see a need, why not<lb />intercede ? Jesus interceded<lb />for the weak brother, our<lb />prayers should reflect the<lb /><lb />_ Same concern for the soul:<lb /><lb />Jesus interceded for his<lb />enemies and showed us how<lb />to get the victory. You may<lb />hate what the enemy has<lb />done, but you love the soul<lb />and pray for deliverance. You<lb />cannot effectively do this<lb />without the Holy. Spirit. The<lb />Power of Intercession will<lb />yield the fruit of forgiveness,<lb />and that Ts what love is all<lb /><lb />about!<lb />Tell Somebody!!<lb /><lb />Mvites you to a<lb /><lb />Birthday/ Appreciation Celebration<lb /><lb /> A White Tie Event T<lb /><lb />honoring<lb /><lb />Lastor James D.

This is how<lb />periodontal disease begins and progresses until there is loss -<lb />of teeth. There are several risk factors that contribute to its<lb />progression and speed of progression, such as cigarettes or<lb />tobacco usage, systemic diseases, multiple medications, ill-<lb />fitting dental work, hormonal changes and genetics.

Ultimately, any of these adverse side<lb />effects could lead to death.
