"Christians Are Still Being Crucified This Holy Thursday" By Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

courtesy http://hiswordinpictures.blogspot.com.au

 Dear Ones:

     Tonight is the night we celebrate 'The Last Supper', and we do this in remembrance of Christ on the night before he is arrested, prosecuted, sentenced and crucified. 
     For those who live in a place where they are free to practice Christianity in relative peace and safety, let us give thanks that they are free to worship. 
     Yet, as we reflect this Easter-tide, may we also be acutely aware of and remember Christians in parts of the world where they are persecuted, tortured, reviled and literally crucified, themselves, to this day. 
     And so we pray:

  
Dear Heavenly Father:
      We come to you this Holy Thursday with heavy hearts, as we remember what befell our beloved Jesus. 
     Yet we can't help wondering how different our lives would be, had you not allowed your Son to be sacrificed for us.  Who would 'lead' us?  Who would sustain us and give us hope in the world today? 
     We thank you, Father and are very grateful for this day of remembrance and humility, even though this night anoints us with great sadness. 
     Please reconcile this for us, Lord, so that we can best serve you.
Please give our hearts more courage and understanding as we celebrate today's Last Supper in remembrance of our Lord. 
     It grieves us that in this day and age, there are those who are yet so very persecuted for worshiping our Savior and that Christians are still being crucified.

     Thus, we pray for all Christians, near and far.  God, shield them and frustrate their tormentors.      Remembering that our brother Jesus will return, we are at peace as we await upon this. 
     We pray these things in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
AMEN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Brothers & Sisters:
     I believe that those who die at the hands of Christianophobes all over the globe shall receive a special place in Heaven.
     They shall be close to our Heavenly Father, Jesus, Mary, and all the Saints and with kith and kin through the ages who, also, fought and died for that 'carpenter's boy'.
     So let us be fearless today and ever more, as we await the final return and a joyous reunion. 
     Be of good cheer this holy night, dear ones, even in the darkness of this night.

With Love in Christ,
Rev. Barbara Sexton

"A Blessed Palm Sunday Healing Message For You" From Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

above courtesy http://www.praytherosaryapostolate.com/palmsunday.htm

Dear Ones:
     I relay to you a most heartfelt Palm Sunday greeting with a message of healing for you during this Holy Week.
     Palm Sunday is, traditionally, a day of 'triumph'.  It heralds a joyous reception of our Savior Jesus, replete with cheers and shouts of joy as he passes by the crowd.
     But, even with all the happiness this day brings, there is an undercurrent of not only sadness, but of anticipation and even 'dread', as well.
     Those who know this Gospel story, know that Jesus will soon be arrested, sentenced and crucified before long.
     So, too, do our modern day Christian celebrations sometimes become 'marred' and mired in sadness as relatives and friends, of different denominations (or of no denomination at all, meaning agnostics and atheists) gather for holidays like Easter and Christmas.
     We know that no matter how much 'joyous fun' we are supposed to have, there is bound to be a 'thing or two' that sets our loved ones 'on edge' and causes strife during the holidays.
     Sometimes, the controversial subject causing discord is interpersonal in nature.
     But, sometimes, religious and denominational differences also rear their heads and this is where my message comes in.
     It is this:  when loved ones debate about 'interdenominational differences', remember that, in Christ, there is only one way.
     And that is the Way of Jesus!
¹⁹ Do not quench the Spirit. ²⁰ Do not treat prophecies with contempt ²¹ but test them all; hold on to what is good, ²² reject every kind of evil."   1Thessalonians 5:19-22  (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Thessalonians+5&version=NIV 
     So my suggestion for you this Easter, however you choose, as a Christian, to celebrate it with family and friends is this:
     Celebrate that which you hold sacred in common.  Cast aside that which divides you.  And, above all, remember to 'celebrate the good' this Easter.
     Yes, Holy Week is rift with agonizing sadness.
     But, like a spring bulb hunkering just below the surface of sweet dirt, we know that we are on the brink of 'witnessing' the amazing Resurrection of Christ.
     It's spectacular, it's a wonderment and we stand in awe of spring life, and in awe of eternal life.
With Love in Christ,
Rev. Barbara Sexton

"Christian Consolation For Those Affected By The Journal News Gun Map Controversy" By Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

CHRISTIAN CONSOLATION FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY THE JOURNAL NEWS GUN MAP CONTROVERSY

by Rev. Barbara Sexton

Stamford, CT

Dear Ones Healing Ministry

www.DearOnesHealingMinistry.blogspot.com

Jan. 5, 2013

 Dear Ones:
     The next time someone asks if you, a Christian, are a gun-owner, I want you to repeat after me and say:
     "YOU BET I AM ARMED!"
     And say this 'loud and proud'...because you ARE!
     In this day and age, where pundits think nothing of pejoratively taunting Christians with 'well-what-would-'your'-Jesus-do?' queries falling off their tongues, we need to pay heed to old advice which is as valid today as it was over 2000 years ago.
      Make no mistake about it; when Jesus sent out the twelve, he warned them that it would be no picnic.
     In fact, what he said shocked and astonished them with his dire predictions!
 ³⁴ “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
    a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
³⁶     a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’^[c]                                                                                                Matthew 10:34-36  (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+10&version=NIV

     Yes, certainly we gasp at the thought of Christian believers being told that their Lord and Savior promises them not 'peace', but quite the opposite.  The going was rough and it's going to be rough, for us.
     So Christian brothers and sisters reading this today, take heed!:

Jesus continued (to his disciples):
     ¹⁶ “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. ¹⁷ Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. ¹⁸ On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, ²⁰ for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you."
                                                                                  Matthew 10:16-20  (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+10&version=NIV  

     The above is sometimes misinterpreted by those who seek to justify 'violence-in-Christ'.  We look to the Crusades as an example of this.
     The fact is that while there may be times when 'violence' IS justified' for a Christian in/from the United States today (such as for those in law enforcement, the military, etc.), this is not commonly the case for civilian Christian Americans living stateside.
     Unless they have the misfortune of encountering a mentally ill, drug-crazed, criminally-oriented violent individual of some kind, that is.
     Jesus clearly did not send out a bunch of 'wimps'.  And he is quite clear that when violence is 'necessary', such as when a defenseless person is being attacked, it is never to be 'glorified'.
     In fact, when read in the context of other Scripture, Jesus's tough words above clearly emphasize that 'the sword' (or, more appropriately today, 'the firearm') is to be used sparingly and only in the most dire of circumstances in self-defense.
     He even counseled his disciples to flee rather than face potentially threatening people, advice which holds its wisdom today.

^"12 As you enter the home, give it your greeting. ¹³ If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴ If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet."                                           Matthew 10:12-14  (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+10&version=NIV 

     Tragically, we cannot always 'flee' when we must.  Nancy Lanza could not and was killed by her son.  And the blessed little Sandy Hook Elementary precious children and their teachers and protectors could not escape that very same madman.
     Yet...we were 'generically warned': 

²¹ “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. ²² You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. ²³ When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another.
                                                                               Matthew 10:21-23  (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+10&version=NIV
     Every so often in the modern U.S., Christians attempt to use some passage in the Bible to justify their own violence.
     But we have the beautiful and fiercely-worded advice from Jesus himself to his disciples whom he loved so much, just as he does us!
     Christ prepared them, as he prepares us, for what they and we will undoubtedly encounter.  He was 'hardening' them verbally, guiding them and emboldening them.  This much is certain--we will suffer, but (and this is a big one) true Believers will be fortified, protected and filled with the Holy Spirit.
     In a word, we will be 'armed', yes, with a 'sword' (or a gun in today's parlance), but also with much more.
     Challenges about 'gun control' vs. gun/Second Amendment rights and opportunists seeking to take advantage of a progressive liberal newspaper's indiscretions are not the only 'challenges' we have.
     We have a challenge not to 'hate' Peter Lanza.  We have a challenge to not hate 'journalists'.  We have a challenge to not 'hate' those who paint with a 'broad brush'--be they liberal or conservative.

²⁶ “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. ²⁷ What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. ²⁸ Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
                                                                                              Matthew 10:26-28  (NIV)
     As Christians, we realize that the physical body is perishable and will not endure.  Morally and ethically, we are challenged to live the best lives that we can. So...
     We WILL have difficult times..
     We WILL have difficult decisions...
     We WILL be treated unfairly...and sometimes 'cruelly', if recent 'The Journal News' rhetoric is something to judge by.
     I know that my words here do not apply to those Christians--especially here in progressive-liberal Connecticut--who do not agree that the Second Amendment is worth fighting for.
     I understand that opinions vary, and that tempers may fly. But mark this:  If we Christians properly tow the line, we will see God.
     We will see God and then we can ask him 'why?' for the many sorrowful sorrows that we must witness.
     Until then, I pray that your days are wonderful, your nights restorative and that everything in your life be blessed and fully vetted to the Will of God, our Father through our Christ Jesus.

God Bless you,
Rev. Barbara Sexton

"Is California Going To Get Hit By The Big One (Earthquake) Soon?: Info And A Prayer" By Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

above courtesy http://www.iris.edu/seismon/

 Dear Ones:
     We will know shortly if this is a 'singular set of events'....

     Or if 'a BIG ONE' is on it's way for California.

There have been lots of earthquakes during the last 24h:

http://www.iris.edu/seismon/

The earth's 'magnetosphere' is being 'jogged':

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/mag_3d.html

Here's the energy from the sun which is affecting us now (the yellow 'bar')

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html

Here's the general 'space weather warnings' page:

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/alerts/warnings_timeline.html

Finally, for spectacular pics of the sun, check out this site:

http://www.solarmonitor.org/

     Remember: It takes anywhere from a day to three days for energy ejected by the sun to reach and effect the earth.

     We cannot say with any certainty if a large quake will shake CA right now.

     But the sites above 'bear watching', so that all who must be can be prepared for whatever is to come.

     All true believers, please join me in prayer for those who may be in harm's way all over the globe:

Dear Lord God of Trust and Good,

We want to be understood.

But even more across the land, 

We pray your Will to understand.

AMEN

"Faith, Hope & Love: The Greatest Of These Is Love" By Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

courtesy: www.GospelGifs.com

God Bless You, Jim Sutton!

     As Christians, we know the following 1 Corinthians 13 passage from the many wedding ceremonies we have been witness to.

     Why not take a moment now to reflect upon this passage in it's 'entirety'?

Love, Rev. Barb

" ¹ If I speak in the tongues^[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,^[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.  

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

 ⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

 ¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
                                                                                                   1 Corinthians 13:1-13  (NIV)

     Our God is a WONDERFUL God and He (not 'She'!), is God of us all...Christian and Jew, alike.

"An Ash Wednesday Remembrance For You" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

courtesy www.GospelGifs.com  Jim Sutton

Dear Ones:

Remember on this Ash Wednesday, that "it is from dust you came and it is to dust you shall return."

These are the words you pastor will say to you as he anoints your forehead with ashes, making the sign of the cross.

There are two Scripture passages for you to reflect upon today, whether you have literal ashes on your forehead or not.

If you are unable to get to a church or other place to receive ashes, consider this:

Ask the Holy Spirit to anoint your 'spirit-body forehead' and let this be your Ash Wednesday observance.

Let scoffers 'scoff'.  But even the most-hardened atheist/agnostic acknowledges what the medical community calls 'phantom limb pain' after an amputation.

Pray God these nay-sayers expand their minds to understand that 'phantom limbs' are nothing more than an amputee's 'spirit leg'!

No matter how you honor this day, here are two Scripture passages for you to reflect upon.  Please take the time to use the link provided to read the extended readings which will help you to understand the concept of 'dust-to-dust'.

"5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the LORD God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."    Genesis 2:5-7 (NIV)

"17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’“Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.

18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”
Genesis 3:17-19  (NIV)
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%202-3&version=NIV 

Your pastor anoints your forehead with ashes as an 'outward sign' to the world and to yourself that you dedicate your life to our Lord Jesus Christ.

You realize that your life--all life--is precious and is 'fast-fleeting'.

The 'ashes' used on Ash Wednesday are made by burning 'last years' dried palm fronds from Palm Sunday which are saved, burned and blessed especially for this purpose.

No 'common' ashes here!

Everything in liturgical use is special in origin and utilization.

In fact, Good Christians have a sacred reverence for ALL that God has given us in the natural world...or we should have anyway.

So on this day, dear ones, take the time to reflect upon your own mortality and ask yourself the question: "If I die right now, what state of 'grace' will I be found to be in?

Is my life one which is pleasing to God, our Father and our Creator?

My prayer for all of you is that you enjoy peace-of-heart with the Lord on this solemn day, Ash Wednesday, free of doubt...and full of faith.

With Love in Christ

     All I can say with all the 'bad news' about what's going on in the world today is "THANK YOU LORD" for this bit of uplifting encouragement!
PRAISE HIM!
Reverend Barbara Sexton
"The Biblical Bichemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"
http://www.dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/
Read here the wise words of Brother Jim Sutton:
     The Bible says that God is an ever-present help in time of need. God is with us. The Lord is kind and merciful, the Bible says, to all who trust in Him, to all who call upon Him. He will help us. He will help me and He will help you. We do not need to become anxious for things beyond our control. Nothing is outside of God's control. Not one thing.

     Trust in the Lord and be assured in your heart that He will act on your behalf, He gave His own Son for us all. Will He not also, with Him, freely provide for our needs? The scarier things get, the more we need to give God praise. Not because we are crazy, and not because we don't understand the seriousness of life's difficulties. But because we know that the battle is not ours. God is He who watches over us. The Lord, kind and merciful, is He who answers our prayers.
     Jesus said that the Father delights to give us the kingdom. He also taught very clearly that we are to trust God for all our needs. Did He not give us the example of the birds who do not produce goods for trading or gather food into barns? Did He not say that the Father feeds them? And did the Lord Jesus not teach us that God clothes the flowers in such rich colors - flowers of the open meadows that are here today and gone tomorrow? The Lord is good to provide and He will provide.
     It is good for us to learn to depend on God. It is good for us to trust in God, as our currency claims we do. It is good for us to know the Lord and to serve Him.
     If you find yourself staring out at the hills, or the far horizon, wondering how and when your help will come, you are not alone. Many Americans are facing times they never thought they would see. Times come and go. Storms come and go. One year is rich and fat and another is lean. But God never changes. He helps us in good times and bad. He is with us in the boat and with us along the dusty road. He is with us when we are born into this world and with us as we go out again. The Lord will not leave us or forsake us. He will carry us through the fire, through the deep waters, and all through the darkest night. The Lord will keep us. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Amen.

"President Obama's New Spiritual Advisor" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

courtesy http://www.gospelgifs.com/   Jim Sutton

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
Dear Ones:
     I think the President is struggling to find his 'true spiritual center'. He lacks a 'spiritual advisor' as far as the public knows, and his last one was a disaster politically for him.
     I can understand his being 'wary' of such advisors. And I understand him being wary of his/our former affiliation with the United Church of Christ, the UCC. It's a mish-mash of uber 'if it feels good and raises money, let's do it' theology with little accountability to anyone.
     But the UCC did provide a 'platform' for President Obama to deliver his first Presidential campaign speech (his/their words) in June of 2007 in Hartford, CT.
     Trouble is, the UCC is dying on the vine and I don't think they'd take the chance of being accused of 'breaching the line between church and state' again. 
     All things considered, both Mr. Obama and myself are well rid of close association with that group...though I am still, technically, a member and for all we know, he, too, has maintained at least 'associative' status there. 
     Considering the 'kill the white devil' and 'chickens coming home to roost' mentality of Reverend Jeremiah Wright and company, it would be a real shame for our first black president to still be on board with that, don't you think?
      Surely we are all expecting better of him, this President who claims to 'want to unify', than to embrace 'Black Liberation Theology', right?
       It is quite possible that Obama is the 'new and improved President Obama'.  He may actually have had some understanding of how hateful and hurtful his beloved Chicago Trinity Church's teachings are to anyone 'not like they are'.
     It could be our President has morphed.
     If so, he should make amends and 'declare a new spiritual home',based on 'improved counsel'.  Be it church or mosque or a place where both reign (such as the UCC), he really should say so.
      What is there to hide, anyway?
     Obama knows by now that he is bound to anger many, no matter who or what he chooses, the unenviable position for someone who is so high-profile.
     But if the President wishes to remain in his 'high-profile position', he needs to come clean with us regarding the church-dealings/events/venues he used so freely last go-round. 
      Indeed, those pesky 2012 elections are coming up and if Barack Obama hopes to avail himself again of that glorious 'worship bully pulpit', he needs to act and act fast.
     We believers know that at the end of the day, President Obama will be judged just like the rest of us poor slobs, for all he has done and said and not done and left unsaid. 
     Someday he will have to explain how he left the Muslim v. Christian controversy 'float' for so long and what his 'motives' are for doing so.  A simple statement would go a long way Mr. President.
     Alas, we are born alone, we die alone and we will have to account for ourselves--alone.
     It's true.
     So I do pray President Obama has or will have the spiritual discernment to make wise choices for himself and his family with that 'free will' the Good Lord gave him.
     I pray he honors God above all, coming to peace with the uneven and tumultuous cultural and religious exposures he had during his non-traditional childhood.
     Let our President think for himself, as he will be judged for himself. 
     An honest reflection will reveal that the man who 'used' the church to get elected must now live with the consequences and figure out what 'to do' for 2012.
      Me--I left the UCC precisely because I got sick and tired of hearing Progressive Lib Democrat politics literally preached from the pulpit during 'worship'.  It was especially distressful to me since I was a mute on my political standings.  I was a quiet, apolitical moderate-conservative with some liberal social leanings at the time.
     All was fine with me and the UCC until I expressed my opinions.  For such an open and affirming church, they sure live a lie, I quickly learned.
     But oh what a difference an election cycle or two makes!
     Now the 2012 elections are looming.   This is as good a time as any for anyone running for President to declare their true religious affiliations, if any.
      American voters are funny when it comes to their chosen candidates, officials, elections and religion.
      We want them to keep it honest.  We  want them to keep it simple.
With Love in Christ

"The Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cancer 11 yr old Child Hoax" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

Dear Ones:

BEWARE the phony PRAYER REQUESTS starting with, "Special Prayer Request from Peggy Lesley at Brookwood Church" . "I am starting a signing for my son's best friend who has cancer (Hodgkin's Lymphoma). He is 11 years old and is not doing well, at all." 

IT IS A HOAX loosely based on some 'truth'!: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/prayer/hodgkins.asp

Most people, I do believe, have good intentions.  Especially on matters of faith, we tend to take each others' words at face value.

Yet even the best of us can be deceived.
THERE IS EVEN A FACEBOOK PAGE FOR THE "SICK CHILD" in QUESTION: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2219514237&v=wall#!/group.php?gid=2219514237&v=wall

Since I don't know how many of my readers have ever heard of this scam, I am writing about it here.

And here's my suggestion for a REAL PRAYER LIST.  Let's start with the person or persons who have participated in this HOAX with less than noble intentions.  Pretending to have cancer is not nice and not funny. 

Let us pray that God has mercy on the unfortunates who think it is...that they change their ways and have a miraculous conversion to 'sentience'.
AMEN.

God Bless You this day and forever,
