Jelly Bean Prayer

Little jelly beans Tell a story true. A tale of Father's love Just for me and you. GREEN is for the waving palms. YELLOW is for the sun above. BROWN is for the soft earth where People sat hearing of HIS love. A SPECKLED bean for fish and sand. RED for precious wine and BLACK is for the sin He washed From you soul and mine. PURPLE's for the sadness of HIS family and friends, and WHITE is for the glory of the Day HE rose again. Now that you've heard the story You know what each color means. The story of our Father's love Told by some jelly beans. So every morning take a bean They're really very yummy. Something for the soul, you see And something for the tummy.

The Silent Years

======================

There are times when God will speak to you and then be silent

for an extended period of time. Silence does not mean you have

been forsaken by God. It simply means that God has spoken,

and now is the time to allow the word that He spoke to germinate

and come to pass.

Silence is not the same as peace. Silence is the absence of

noise, but peace is the presence of God! While you are going

through "silent years," you should focus on inner peace.

Inner peace produces outward confidence in the face of negative

circumstances so that we can go forward in the assurance that

even though tribulation is coming against us, we are more

than conquerors over it!

The Greek word for peace actually describes a spiritual

equilibrium no matter whatever may seek to upset us. The

biblical meaning of peace never denotes the absence of trouble.

Peace is not the absence of negatives but the presence of

positives. God's peace is inward and spiritual and never

predicated by contrary circumstances or negative events.

Poverty, sickness, death nor debt can override internal peace!

Silent years should indicate a time of reflection, introspection

and listening. The quieter we become, the more we hear.

However, we cannot rush the silent years.

Silent years are times of transition. Transition is always

uncomfortable and appears to last forever. We must ENDURE the

silent years! Whenever you see the word endure, it means that

there is no short cut through it. It must be endured.

You cannot circumvent what must be endured.

We are told to ENDURE unto the end. (Matt. 24:13)

We are told to ENDURE persecution and tribulation. (II Th. 1:4-10)

We are told to ENDURE hardness. (II Tim. 2:1-3)

We are told to ENDURE affliction. (II Tim. 4:5)

We are told to ENDURE chastening. (Heb. 12:7)

The key to being able to ENDURE is to see the END (ENDure).

Now, here are some things for you to question during the silent

years:

Is my life really submitted to God?

Am I submitted at home, work, church and to the government?

Have I learned my lesson?

What is God trying to teach me?

Am I humble enough to be teachable?

Has the fruit of patience been sufficiently developed in me?

Do I still have an appetite for the world in me?

Did I properly respond to the last thing God told me to do?

Have I attained a deeper faith?

Is my attitude right toward God and others?

Am I harboring unforgiveness?

What am I becoming?

Have I sufficiently developed and matured as a person?

Have I taken the time to minister to the Lord? (Acts 13:2)

During your silent years you should:

1. Practice and develop your gifts. Study.

2. Clarify. Define goals. Reorder priorities.

3. Serve (even while you are hurting).

4. Trust God.

5. Pray

Your silent years should change your life! You should come out

as a new person! When you come out, you should have a new level

of:

1. Knowledge

2. Responsibility

3. Authority/Power

4. Faith

5. Trust

Remember, problems never come to last, they only come to pass!

Toby Keith was inspired to write this song after spending time with 88-year-old Clint Eastwood. When asked what kept Eastwood going, he replied “I get up every day and don’t let the old man in.”
