“Can You Hear Me Now?”

Posted by Cynthia Brooks on June 16, 2009 at 4:02am

Scriptural Text Luke 16:19-31　　　　In today’s society everybody has a cell phone, every where you look someone has a phone up to their ear, whether in a car, walking, standing at a bus stop, riding the subway, in the airport, hallway of court house, some of us ladies can attest to being at the hair salon, in the chair and the stylist is curling with one hand talking on her cell phone with the other. Technology has made it possible for you to be anywhere and still having a way to contact your children, husband, boy/girl-friend, office, order in food, business calls. It doesn’t matter what you need the phone for, it’s small enough that you can comfortably take it with you anywhere you go.If you watch television, you know that you spend more time watching commercials than the actual program you’re trying to watch. There is a commercial that catches my attention a lot and that’s the Verizon commercial. The one where they are discussing the fact that Verizon has a wider range of reception than any of their competitors.You know how the commercial goes, they are going places all over the world, like in a taxi cab through the crowded streets of what looks like New York, to the top of what looks like a big hill out of the reach of people, down through the sewers under the city, on a crowded subway and so on. The point of all of this is to prove that the reception is good no matter where you go, or what you go through, (tunnels, down through the sewers). As they go from place to place they test the service by saying the phrase over and over again….”can you hear me now?” In one commercial it seems that one of Verizon’s cellular phone subscribers is meeting with some pretty rough people and was told to come alone, they are in a secluded area and the bad guy looks behind the man and says, “I told you to come alone.” The guy makes a comment about the fact that he was alone and that, what he is actually looking at is the network. Or the ability of the Verizon company to make his cell phone reception available to him no matter where he goes.Let’s look at the text, Luke 16:19-31. Here we have a rich man that dressed in fine linens, and a beggar named Lazarus who lay at the gate full of sores, who ate the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. The beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom; the rich man died as well and was buried.In hell, the rich man looked up as he was being tormented and he saw Abraham with Lazarus in his bosom. He cried out to him saying, “Father Abraham have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame.But Abraham told him, “Son remember that thou in thy lifetime received good things and Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.But besides all of this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they come to us that would from there.Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father’s house, where I have five brothers that he can testify to, so that they won’t wind up in this place of torment.Abraham said to him, they have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.The rich man said, father Abraham, if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.And he said unto him, if they hear not Moses and the prophets (“Network”) neither will they be persuaded through one risen from the dead.When I think of the countless amounts of people that followed Jesus in his day of walking the earth, they remind me of the “NETWORK,” those people that were able to hear first hand the things he’d done, as well as see some of them personally.We know that Jesus doesn’t walk around on this earth today in an earthly body, performing miracles, healing the sick, or teaching in the synagogues. But instead he’s left us the “Bible” the word of God. He’s placed in us a comforter, someone to lead and guide us, along with the Bible and the countless men and women on the pages, that have followed him, that have seen what miraculous things that he’s done as a testimony of who he was and how he lived.He even went so far as to say in his word, John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.Over the many years since the life and death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, he’s called men and women all over the world, to preach the word, the good news, the gospel to those who don’t know him, to those who once knew him, but because living holy doesn’t sell as well as living worldly, they fell back into the long and strong arms of sin. Walking absentmindedly into a deeper relationship with the world, with sin, believing they have all the time in the world.I stopped by to tell you this: God is still alive and well, everywhere you look, there is a church billboard advertising church service, the radio has gospel shows, television has tel-evangelist’s on it at every turn. The mighty men and women of God are bombarding the airways with the Good new, with the Gospel, with the words off the pages of the Bible, words encouraging, pleading with the sinner, to turn. To seek the face of the Master, no matter what dark corner of the world you are in, no matter what lifestyle you believe you are trapped in, no matter how high you’ve gotten, on drugs, or just life itself, no matter what sewer you have fallen into, crawled out of. If you fall on your knees, or just bow your head, or just close your eyes. Your connection to the most High God is never broken, there is always service, no roaming fees apply.If you just call his name, he’ll answer, look behind you he’s there, the network is there. Try him, call out to him….. There is no place on this earth you can go and loose connection, at anytime, any place, any situation, or circumstance, he’s there, he’s saying always at every turn in your life, “My child, can you hear me now?”He’s waiting on you to answer, the connection is there, you “CAN’T” be out of range, because no matter what you’ve done, who you’ve become, no matter how dirty your secret is, he’s there, he’s there for you. Stop hitting the ignore button, stop sending him to your voice mail, thinking, I’ll call him back later, everything is going well right now, I really don’t need him right now…..people, we aren’t promised tomorrow….He’s calling you now……won’t you answer???He’s constantly, constantly calling, “My child, can you hear me now?”On the subway, at the crack house, on the corner, in the dirty motel room, when you think you’re at your lowest, the “Network” is still there and he’s calling to you…..“My child, can you hear me now?”He’s already done what he needed to do to ensure you the right to the tree of life, all you have to do is turn, turn from your wicked ways, 2 Chronicles 7:14Once you turn, once you trust him with your life, he can and will carry you through, he’s already carrying you….your in his permissive will, not his perfect will. He’s calling you, check your phone service…..who’s your carrier….change carrier’s, keep the same number, where you are right now, you don’t have service……Oh but when you allow Jesus, to walk into your life, once you allow him into your heart, you’ll never drop a call again, …He wants all his children to be saved, he wishes that we all would join him in heaven….Don’t make the mistake of having your phone service disconnected….Don’t wait until it’s too late,until you forfeit your inheritance, until you are laying in torment, until, there is no way to cross over and save you…why wait until your praise has no power, or your prayer has no purpose, why wait until you are in the dead zone?……he’s calling…..won’t you answer….he’s calling….. “My child, can you hear me now?”“CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?”

Last night I caught a program on CNBC, called "The Oprah Effect". It showcased three or four entrepreneurs who achieved incredible success within a few months of having their business featured on the Oprah Show. The narrator referred to Oprah Winfrey's ability to transform businesses with her talk show as a Midas Touch. Of course, this was not to suggest that there was anything magical about how Oprah built her communications empire; on the contrary, the commentary was intended to reinforce that her unwavering commitment to brand-development is what made it all possible.The program got me thinking that the Oprah Winfrey story, the Walt Disney story or the Avon story can be your story for your circumstance and your life, if you take responsibility for your success today. It may sound corny, but if you focus wholeheartedly on building your brand, success will follow ...~ Sharon, your AVON rep.

A warning of reopening OLD COLLECTION ACCOUNTS!!!

Posted by Hardest Working Woman In Credit on June 16, 2009 at 1:43am

Be careful of old collections. These companies will stop at nothing to collect money that is owed from 10 or 20 years ago. Please review some of my blogs and forum tips for newbies.A sign that this is an old account will be once you start to get collections that are 50% off. For example, you may have owed $2000.00 and a bill comes in the mail for half of that from a collection company.The first thing you want to do is find out if this account is reporting on your credit file.Then think back to when you first had the bill. Only you (the consumer) knows when the account was opened. So, if you know the bill was more than seven years old or close to it, do not re-open this account. It will stay on your file for seven years after you pay (the so call 50% special).A note these bills SHOULD NOT BE ON YOUR FILE ANYWAY, because of the law timeframe. If the bill is reporting, you may want to dispute it. These companies are re-aging old accounts.I reviewed a special from a bill from 1993!!!!, just to let you know.If anyone has any questions, call me or email me.. Fight back and know your rights. Don't continue to settle for bad credit.Support my vision of educating millions of americans about credit.You can do this by spreading the word about www.creditadviseforyou.ning.com(Free)Support change in 2009, and help be apart of the solution.Innocents Victims is available now at www.reginalittles.comRemeber, one person can change the world!!

Twitter Is The Icing, Not The Cake

Posted by Donna Maria Coles Johnson on June 14, 2009 at 11:39pm

I am a passionate believer in the power of social networking for small business owners. I have spoken many times at conferences and teleseminars about small business owners can use Twitter to create relationships and expand their sphere of influence.One of the things I notice in my travels is that there is a misplaced reliance on Twitter as a marketing tool. If I had a dime for every time a business owner told me that he or she had not blogged in months because they had been spending all of their social time on Twitter, I think I'd be rich.Twitter Is Not A PanaceaAs good as Twitter is, it is not a panacea. Twitter will not swoop into your business and fix problems that are already there. For example, if you do not already have a blog, Twitter will be of little use to you. If you do not have or do not want to have genuine relationships with other small business owners, Twitter will be no use to you. And if your website is a messy collection of blurry photos and spelling and grammatical errors, Twitter will not only be useless to you, but it could also actually hurt your business.Neither Twitter nor any other social media tool owned by a third party should form the platform for your marketing outreach. The core of your marketing strategy should be supported by content that you own and control: your e-commerce site, business card, email newsletter, brochures, blog, podcasts, etc.Twitter Cannot Save A Lousy Marketing PlanTwitter should supplement a marketing machine that already works reasonably well on its own.While Twitter is no substitute for an innovative, attention grabbing, system that markets a fabulous product, it does a heckuva job at supplementing a system that is already getting results. Twitter is like cake frosting. It's useless unless there's a cake to frost. But put it on top of a rich and scrumptious slice of cake and it's hmm hmm good for you and your customers.Question: Are you perplexed by Twitter and how it can possibly work for your business? If so, check for holes in your existing marketing armor and plug them up. Chances are that, when you do, Twitter will take on a whole new meaning for your business. What do you think? I'd love to hear your comments, experiences and even questions on this topic in the comments section below.
