"Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near” Isaiah 55:6 tells us to seek the Lord. We seek Him through prayer and when we find Him, we give Him praise. Pray and praise go hand in hand. When our parents gave us gifts as their children, we thanked them with all our hearts. When God gifts us with answered prayers we should be even quicker to thank and praise Him.

The “name it and claim it” idea has been very popular for years in Christian circles. It has mislead so many people into taking credit for what God has done in their lives. Instead of them giving Him the praise and glory they proclaim how their faith has done it. It seems to me that this is the same type of thing talked about in Matthew 6:5-13 . Jesus said that the hypocrites had their reward because they wanted the praise and attention from men. We are not to seek to make a big show before men. Matthew 6:6 says “ But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”

  FOR THOSE OF US TRYING TO HELP OTHERS , IT'S VERY ESSENTIAL THAT THE COMPANY BACKS UP THEIR PRODUCTS WITH A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. WE'VE BEEN UNDER A LOW CASH FLOW SITUATION MANY TIMES IN OUR LIVES. NEVER , EVER DO WE WANT FOLKS TO BE WHERE THAT THE THE MONEY THEY SPEND TO TAKE A STEP OF FAITH, BUYING A PRODUCT, IS JUST LOST IF THEY DO NOT RECEIVE THE BENEFITS THEY BOTH WANTED AND NEEDED. THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY BACK, IF IT DID NOT WORK FOR THEM.
IT TOOK ME FROM JAN, 2011 - MAY 2012 EATING SOME GMO'S AND BEING ON WEIGHT WATCHERS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO LOSE FROM 506 LBS DOWN TO 440 LBS, THE SUPPLEMENTS WAS VITAMARK PRODUCTS AND SUBJECT TO BEING DISCONTINUED BY THE PRESENT OWNER OF IT WORKS GLOBAL , ONLY TILL THEY WERE OUT OF STOCK, THIS IS A GOOD COMPANY I STILL USE SOME OF THEIR PRODUCTS , MY ONLY THING ABOUT IT IS THE OWNER DOES NOT BELIEVE IN HIS PRODUCTS ENOUGH TO PLACE A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ON THEM . I STOPPED TAKING THEIR SUPPLEMENTS BECAUSE FROM MAY OF 2012 THROUGH MAY 20TH 2013 I GAINED BACK TO 479 LBS , I STOPPED TAKING IT WORKS IN OCTOBER . FOUND BODY FX STARTED THEM MAY 20TH 2013 AT 479 LBS NOW BACK TO 440 LBS , I THANK THE LORD JESUS FOR PROVIDING A WAY WHERE THERE WAS NONE .
I'M SORRY ABOUT SHARING THIS BUT MY FRIENDS OFTEN ASK ME WHY I'M NOT DOING IT WORKS , SO HERE'S THE WHY , GOD BLESS YOU ALL]]><![CDATA[IMAGINATION  , FLOWING]]>Mon, 29 Sep 2014 20:26:11 GMThttp://www.14info.com/the-talking-bench/imagination-flowingSam Stokes , Russellville , Alabama

Quote Modify Remove                                                Chapter 6                                      
                                                Imagination
 
   Imagination the energy in the mind that is truly unlimited , be it 
  synthetic - using existing ideas  and improving them  by natural means.
 or creative - inspired ideas that is Spirit led , this same Spirit can operate to 
 bring together people who are like minded , connected through the 
 vibrating energy that flows from one person to another.
  Once and inspiration or hunch is received , then comes the definite plans
 and actions to put it from the mind , to a blueprint , then from it to prototype, 
 to the full scale of what has now become.
   This can be shared a lot of ways , but this time let's look at the people 
 who were given the inspiration that just did not go through enough steps 
 to see it to completion . 
   I like the fact that even the author told us to read the whole book first then 
 be more ready to take the action to get it done , when we come back to this
 chapter. 
By following his advice , we first see all the different ways that might cause us to give up , in seeing and understanding that they are all part of the process . 
  Then there's no excuses , no reason to fail , just knowing , by not quitting 
 and by continued action , truly nothing is impossible.

 ps : This morning as i was planning my day and thinking about this lesson,
       an inspiration via the sixth sense conveyed this to me , now is the time
       to unite your imagination with the infinite source of my Spirit .
       Many pieces of this life puzzle has been coming together since December 
       2010 , one night that shifted  all of my thoughts , and the first time 
       that via the Spirit , i was led to do network marketing again , it was a hard 
       decision for me to make . 
       Janet and I have been battle scarred , seeing so many good people 's lives 
      and dreams terminated by poor leadership , bad judgment , and most of all
      greed and ego . 
       I took the route of Gideon  , Holy Spirit , i absolutely do not want to do this 
      anymore , You need to guide my thoughts and give me three ways to help 
      us to go back down this path . 
       These three things was shared:
       
       1. What took place long ago when you were  first introduced to this system ?
          my answer : a burning desire to help others , we sensed that sometime
          in the future , many  lives were going to be blessed.
        
       2. When you were brought down to your lowest level after the on the job 
          injury , what helped you to regain your belief that ya'll could keep going?
          my answer : network marketing , You put the right kind of people , and
          uplifting information , that forever gave us a complete faith , that at 
          the right time , everything will be in place , what will be shared 
          will be in the right Spirit and unity will be fully present in a unified
           group of people , working together as one with the Spirit.
       
       3. When your money was all but gone and you means to supply what your 
          family needed what was used to help ya'll to press on in spite of 
          all the negative circumstances in ya'll life , not once but many times.
          my answer : good people who blessed us in every way , and this system 
          through continued faith , opened many paths , that we normally would 
          not in our past frame of mindset would have ever imagined .

  This instilled a burning desire within me that I could not quench , i knew 
   within everything that is me , that in the very near future this time would 
   come . 
   AND TODAY , THIS MORNING , FROM THIS POINT FORWARD , IT'S
   FLOWING , FILLING OTHERS WITH NEW FOUND HOPE , HEALING BROKEN
   DREAMS , AND RESTORING THE BELIEF OF MANY TO A NEWNESS OF FAITH,
   IT WILL CONTINUALLY FLOW AND OVERFLOW TO ALL WHO CAN AND WILL
    RECEIVE IT .

]]><![CDATA[ DUAL  EXISTENCE ]]>Sat, 29 Jun 2013 03:08:50 GMThttp://www.14info.com/the-talking-bench/dual-existenceSamuel Stokes
MANY MAY NOT BELIEVE IT , BUT I DO, WE LIVE IN A DUAL EXISTENCE THE PHYSICAL ONE AND THE UNSEEN SPIRITUAL ONE . NOT TO OVERDO THE ISSUE HERE'S A FEW EXAMPLES :
1. HAVE YOU EVER SAID SOMETHING , WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT , HMMM, HOW MANY TIMES DID IT TURN OUT TO YOUR FAVOR ? DID IT TURN OUT TO BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.

2. HAVE YOU ACTED ON YOUR INTUITION AND IT HAD POSITIVE RESULTS 
OR IGNORED YOUR INTUITION AND HAD NEGATIVE RESULTS . 

3. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT SOMEONE THAT YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IN MANY YEARS , AND THEN SEE THEM OR RECEIVE A CALL 
OR SOME OTHER CONTACT FROM THEM ..

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES , EVERY HAPPENS FOR A REASON 
AND IN SOME WAY WE'RE ALL CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER BY AN UNSEEN HELPING FORCE .]]><![CDATA[IT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE!]]>Thu, 16 May 2013 18:13:07 GMThttp://www.14info.com/the-talking-bench/it-has-been-done-before IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE ,
 IT CAN BE DONE AGAIN,

    PEOPLE UNITING TOGETHER , HELPING EACH OTHER , TEACHING 
 ONE ANOTHER, BUT , THIS IS 2013 , THE BUSINESS MODEL HAS CHANGED. 
 BUT , IN ANY BUSINESS , YOU NEED TO KNOW AND BE ABLE TO SHARE THE BENEFITS , QUALITY , AND THE WHY SHOULD I TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS COMPANY AND THESE PRODUCTS.
  BECAUSE IN THIS TIME , 2013 , WE ARE IN AN ENVIRONMENT  WHERE , OUR FOODS ARE LOADED WITH ARTIFICIAL FLAVORINGS , COLORS , PRESERVATIVES , PROCESSED TO THE POINT OUR BODIES DOES NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE IT AS FOOD . 
   GUESS WHAT IF IT DOES'NT IT DEPOSITS IT ON OUR BODIES AS FAT ,FRIED FOODS AND BURNT 
FOODS DO THE SAME THING.
  ALSO MOST OF THE HEALTH RELATED IN DEPARTMENT STORES  PRODUCTS ARE NOT PRODUCED WITH THE BEST QUALITY SUPPLEMENTS . THE REAL QUALITY COST MORE DUE TO HOW IT IS MANUFACTURED AND THE TRUE PURITY OF THE INGREDIENTS.
  NEXT WHO DOES'NT NEED TO DO SOME FORM OF EXERCISE 3 TO 5 DAYS A WEEK . THIS COMPANY SHARES TOP QUALITY EXERCISE DVD'S AND NOW AS OF MAY 1 ST  HEALTH AND WELLNESS PRODUCTS.

 THE PAST , 1959

  AMERICAN WAY, A GROUP OF AMERICANS THAT WERE LIKE MINDED, STARTED A COMPANY IN 1959. THE CONCEPT OF  PEOPLE WORKING IN ONE COMPANY ,SHARING PRODUCTS THAT WERE SAFE AND HELPED OTHERS WHILE EARNING A PERCENTAGE OF THE PROFITS. THIS COMPANY HELPED COUNTLESS PEOPLE TO BECOME DEBT-FREE AND HAVE A DIFFERENT LIFESTYLE. IT ENABLED MANY TO  GAIN JUST ENOUGH EXTRA INCOME TO KEEP THEIR HOPES AND DREAMS ALIVE. THE MOTIVATION AND PERSONAL GROWTH WERE PRICELESS!
THE 4 BELIEFS OF ANY OPPORTUNITY OR BUSINESS ARE:
1. BELIEF IN THE COMPANY
2. BELIEF IN THE PRODUCT
3. BELIEF IN NETWORK MARKETING
4. BELIEF IN YOURSELF
 
IT IS STILL AN ONGOING COMPANY. FROM THIS BUSINESS MODEL UNTOLD COMPANIES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED, SOME BAD AND SOME GOOD. THE COMPANIES FOUNDED AND DEDICATED TO HELPING OTHERS HAVE ESTABLISHED A WAY FOR ANY OF US TO EARN ADDITIONAL INCOME. IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR SEND ME A MESSAGE AND WE WILL TALK.

EVEN IN TODAY'S ECONOMY PEOPLE CAN STILL WORK TOGETHER AND DEVELOP AN ONGOING SOURCE OF EXTRA INCOME WHILE HELPING EACH OTHER TO BECOME A PERSON WHO IS LIVING UP TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL GIVEN ENOUGH TIME AND EFFORT. 

  NOW , JANET AND I ARE NOT SEEKING MONEY DRIVEN PEOPLE , WE ARE OPEN  TO HELPING OTHERS 
WHO  ARE  HERE TO HELP FOLKS TO GET  THE PRODUCTS THAT THEY WANT AND CAN AFFORD AND OR  TO ADD ADDITIONAL INCOME  AND HOPEFULLY HELP THEM TO BE
ABLE TO SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH THEIR FAMILY.
 PROVERBS CHAPTER 1  , SHARES WHAT HAPPENS TO FOLKS WHO ARE JUST DOING FOR THEMSELVES AND NOT TO HELP OTHERS, YOU CAN READ IT TO GET YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.
   AS WE ARE BLESSED , WE'LL BE PLANTING SEED BY HELPING A FEW AT A TIME THAT WANT TO HELP OTHERS LIKE WE ARE.
  JANET OR I WILL NOT TELL ANYONE TO QUIT THEIR PRESENT OCCUPATION , BUT TO TAKE THE EXTRA INCOME TO PAY OFF BILLS , THEN SAVE UP ENOUGH TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO TO EARN A LIVING. 
  GREED AND/OR EGO DOES NOT BELONG IN THIS , IT OF ITSELF ENDS IN CAUSING PROBLEMS TO ALL WHO WERE TALKED INTO DOING ANYTHING ,JUST SO A SELECT FEW COULD GET AHEAD, THAT IS NEVER RIGHT .
 ANYTHING DONE IN A HURRY GOES AWAY THE SAME WAY IT COMES .
  LITTLE BY LITTLE HELPING OTHERS AS WE GO , NO ONE SUFFERS LOSS AND ALL ALL BLESSED  IN THE PROCESS
                               BUSINESS DONE THE RIGHT WAY THAT WORKS TO BLESS ALL . OR DO NOT EVEN DO IT AT ALL.

PRODUCES A HARVEST IN DUE TIME.

Matthew 13 (King James Version)

13 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
