More from Charles Stanley....
Praying in the name of Jesus signifies agreement with His will. You are asking the Father to grant your need or desire as Jesus would, were He in your position. When you pray with this attitude, God is going to reveal His will because you want nothing less than what He wants. This is the kind of prayer that changes the world.
Keep your focus on the Lord—if you don't, you will react rather than obey. Isaiah 41:10 says not to fear or anxiously look about; otherwise, Satan will exaggerate details to make you believe things are worse than they actually are. But when your eyes are on Jesus, He will absolutely cover everything with His presence—and His perfect love will drive away all fear. (1 John 4:18)
Ephesians 6:10-11 says, "Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand . . ." Rather than fighting back the way the world does, stand firm in God's strength. The battle is His to fight, so it's useless to try manipulating circumstances. If you're right where God has called you to stand, you can expect to be victorious, no matter what the outcome is.

Went to the Ringling Museums and House today--awesome! The art museum had a special display by Duane Hanson, Sculptures from Everyday Life, which was unbelievable.
Saw on the news last night where some local police departments oppose the use of tazer guns by citizens. Now let me get this straight......you can take a class and get a permit to carry a concealed weapon that can kill someone, but the police do not want you to carry a tazer, which only stuns someone. What's wrong with this picture?

Tracy went to the doctor today for an update on her asthma. Doctor pleased with her good response to the medication; she is feeling much better and her cough has really eased up. I'm on vacation this week but don't really have anything planned; I may go to the beach for a couple of days and my catch some ballgames. David got a call today from the application he put in at Dollar General and should be starting there soon. That's all for now!
