Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and toall that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

JERUSELEM OBITUARIES 33AD
CALVARY
Jesus Christ, 33, of Nazareth, Died Friday on Mount Calvary, also known as Golgotha, the place of the skull. Betrayed by the apostle Judas, Jesus was crucified by the Romans, by the order of the ruler PONTIUS PILATE. The causes of death were crucifixion, extreme exhaustion, severe torture, and loss of blood.
JESUS CHRIST a descendant of Abraham, was a member of the house of David. He was the son of the late Joseph, a carpenter of NAZARETH, and MARY, His devoted mother. JESUS was born in a stable in the city of Bethlehem Judea. He is survived by his mother MARY, His faithful APOSTLES, numerous disciples, and many other followers.
JESUS was self educated and spent most of his adult life working as a Teacher. JESUS also occasionally worked as a medical Doctor and it is reported that he healed many patients. Up until the time of his death, JESUS was teaching and sharing the Good News, healing the sick, and touching the lonely, feeding the hungry, and helping the poor.
JESUS was most noted for telling parable's about his Fathers Kingdom and performing miracles, such as feeding over 5,000 people with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, and healing a man who was born blind. On the day before his death, He held a last Supper celebrating the Passover Feast, at which he foretold his death.
The body was quickly buried in a stone grave, which was donated by Joseph of Arimathea, a loyal friend of the family. By order of Pontius Pilate, a boulder was rolled in front of the tomb. Roman soldiers were put on guard.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that everyone try to live as JESUS did. Donations may be sent to anyone in need.

[size"4"] AND THE LORD CAUSED A DEEP SLEEP TO FALL UPON ADAM, AND HE SLEPT; AND HE TOOK ONE OF HIS RIBS, AND CLOSED UP THE FLESH INSTEAD THEREOF. AND THE RIB, WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD TAKEN FROM MAN, MADE HE A WOMAN, AND BROUGHT HER UNTO MAN. AND ADAM SAID, THIS IS NOW BONE OF MY BONES, AND FLESH OF MY FLESH, SHE SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN, BECAUSE SHE WAS TAKEN OUT OF MAN. THEREFORE SHALL A MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, AND SHALL CLEAVE UNTO HIS WIFE, AND THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH. AND THEY WERE BOTH NAKED, THE MAN AND HIS WIFE, AND WERE NOT ASHAMED.[/size]

[size"4"]JESUS SAID GIVE IT TO ME I WILL BEAR IT, GIVE IT TO ME I WILL SHARE IT, IF THERE IS A NEED IN YOUR LIFE, I WILL TAKE IT, IF YOU ONLY GIVE IT TO ME[/size]
[size"4"]I am a 49 years young lady, married with two handsome sons, both
adopted. I love going to church, I have been in church all of my
life since the age of four, water baptized in the NAME OF JESUS,
and saved since the age of four, I have been singing since age four
and still singing for the lord, cooking, decorating, I'm kind of a
neat freak,lol, I love kids, like meeting new people,entertaining,
shopping, shoes are my pet peve,lol love to travel, bake all the
time but I don't eat alot of it,lol, I spend most of my time at
church, and I am a people person. My days are spent taking care of
my elderly aunt, handicapped son, my father since my mom died nine
years ago, a friend from church's grandmother, and my home. I try
to reach out to people who are in need, that seems to be my
ministry. At the age of sixteen I went totally blind at a church
convention, I did not know that my eyes were sensative to bright
light, i stayed blind over six months, attended a school for the
blind, you never know how to appreciate sight until you loose it,
knowing what things looked like before, learning how to get around
your own room, stumbling along to find your way, and not knowing if
you will ever see again. God had mercy on me once again. I was not
able to have children of my own, so i chose to adopt, even with all
one of my son's disabilities i still feel he is a blessing from
God. He is diagnosed with ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Mild Mental
Retardation, Speech Impediment, and Learning Disabled I gave up my
career working in Cardiographics Heart Station to stay at home and
raise my son the way the Lord would have fit, and to give him the
life he well deserves, I chose him he did not choose me. He has
really been a blessing in my life, through all our ups and downs
God has strengthen me and is pouring me out blessings that I don't
have room enough to receive them. I walk by faith and not by sight
which has gotten me this far in life. Through all I have weathered
the Lord has been dealing with me, and has taken my faith in him to
an all time high, another level, a new beginning.
Growing up i had alot of heartache,and pain, suffering,
disappointments, stress, no type of relationship with my family, a
messed up marriage for 12 years, so mentally abused until i lost my
identity of who i even was, i lost myself it was like i had became
someone else. Instead of being a husband, companion, comforter,
bestfriend, he became my leader, my dad, which neither did i need
two of ,felt so ugly on the inside and out, i fell into a state of
depression that i thought i could not recover from, i even had to
seek professional pyschiatric help and medication, but i hung in
there because i took my vows seriously, and i was brought up to
believe in one marriage till death do you part, so i did not want
to bring any embarassment to my family. By this time I was
desperate for a way out according to the word of God, my prayers
changed and I started praying for the Lord to take one of us by
death, it did not matter which one, I was not selfish. One day I
was riding on the interstate and a voice came to me and said, just
open the door and get out, it will be over quick, I immediately
starting calling on the name of Jesus, I knew it was not the way
that God had planned for my life, that he still had work for me to
do. But to be honest if I had my son in the car with me the devil
may would have won me over, I wouldn't have been leaving my son
without someone to care for him.
After all was said and done GOD led him back into our lives, a
different person, the lord took him through all kinds of test and
trials, until he realized what he had in a lady, and what he had
let go, my son and i became homeless and he took us in when we had
no where else to go, we stayed there five years, in seperate rooms,
became very good friends, and got to know each other all over
again, a new start. We remarried last year on our same anniversary
date.Thinking things would be better for my son i made an unselfish
decision to give up my life even though it was not the life i had
dreamed of but it was a life, I am here and I love him for the
person he became, but i am no longer in love with him, its easy to
forgive but very difficult to forget. Now i find myself still
giving without anything in return. But I know if anything ever
happens to me, my son will be well taken care of. I feel that as
long as i continue to live right, and do as the bible ask a wife to
be and do, that the LORD will be well pleased with me and will
truly bless me for it one day before this life is over, with a mate
that will love me for me, treat me the way that a Godly woman
should be treated, as a queen and a lady. I want all the things I
dreamed my marriage to be, a best friend in my companion, good
conversation, long walks in the park, to be held and cuddled,
romantic dinners, quality time together, to miss him every minute
of the day that we are apart, for my heart to skip a beat when he
holds me, I want him to be the air I breath, unconditional
love.
I had to learn to let go and let GOD ,learn to forgive ,trust all
over again, stop worrying about things that i had no control of, i
wore a mask out in public as if everything was alright when down on
the inside i knew i was slowly dying. I thank God for his grace,
mercy and most of all his umerited favor. I am a simple but
elegant, attractive (but not stuck on myself), fun, total and
complete beautiful heart and soul on the inside, i am told that i
am a loving and caring person through the works i have done, and I
thank God every day for what he has turned my life into being, for
without God I never would have made it.And I would not be the lady
you see before you now.[/size]

[size"4"] And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female; and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy fromm off the face of the earth. And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him. And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his son's wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth; and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged. And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake.[/size]
[size"4"]THEN PETER SAID UNTO THEM, REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLYGHOST. FOR THE PROMISE IS UNTO YOU, AND TO YOUR CHILDREN, AND TO ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF, EVEN AS MANY AS THE LORD OUR GOD SHALL CALL. AND WITH THIS MANY WORDS DID HE TESTIFY AND EXHORT, SAYING, SAVE YOURSELVES FROM THIS UNTOWARD GENERATION. THEN THEY GLADLY RECEIVED HIS WORD AND WERE BAPTIZED; AND IN THE SAME DAY THERE WERE ADDED UNTO THEM ABOUT THREE THOUSAND SOULS. AND THEY CONTINUED STEDFASTLY IN THE APOSTOLES DOCRINE AND FELLOWSHIP, AND IN BREAKING OF BREAD, AND IN PRAYERS. AND FEAR CAME UPON EVERY SOUL; AND MANY WONDERS AND SIGNS WERE DONE BY THE APOSTOLES. AND ALL THAT BELIEVED WERE TOGETHER, AND HAD ALL THINGS COMMON. AND SOLD THEIR POSSESSIONS AND GOODS, AND PARTED THEM TO ALL MEN, AS EVERY MAN HAD NEED. AND THEY, CONTINUING DAILY WITH ONE ACCORD IN THE TEMPLE, AND BREAKING BREADFROM HOUSE TO HOUSE, DID EAT THEIR MEAT WITH GLADNESS AND SINGLENESS OF HEART. PRAISING GOD, AND HAVING FAVOUR WITH ALL THE PEOPLE, AND THE LORD ADDED TO THE CHURCH DAILY SUCH AS SHOULD BE SAVED.[/SIZE]
[size"4"] And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out of rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. In the end of the the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.[/size]

A fiery Holyghost filled service, some shouts that are so bad you know they are matured shouts, a good sermon so bad it doesn't even need an altar call afterwards, singing choir!
[size"4"] THEN THE KING COMMANDED, AND THEY BROUGHT DANIEL, AND CAST HIM INTO THEDEN OF LIONS. NOW THE KING SPAKE AND SAID UNTO DANIEL, THY GODWHOM THOU SERVEST CONTINUALLY, HE WILL DELIVER THEE. AND A STONE WAS BROUGHT, AND LAID UPON THE MOUTH OF THE DEN, AND THE KING SEALED IT WITH HIS OWN SIGNET, AND WITH THE SIGNET OF THE LORDS, THAT THE PURPOSE MIGHT NOT BE CHANGED CONCERNING DANIEL. THEN THE KING WENT TO HIS PALACE, AND PASSED THE NIGHT FASTING; NEITHER WERE INSTRUMENTS OF MUSICK BROUGHT BEFORE HIM,AND HIS SLEEP WENT FROM HIM. THEN THE KING ROSE VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND WENT IN HASTE UNTO THE DEN OF LIONS. AND WHEN HE CAME TO THE DEN, HE CRIED WITH A LAMENTABLE VOICE UNTO DANIEL, AND THE KING SPAKE, AND SAID TO DANIEL, O DANIEL SERVANT OF THE LIVING GOD, IS THY GOD, WHOM THOU SERVEST CONTINUALLY, ABLE TO DELIVER THEE FROM THE LIONS? THEN SAID DANIEL UNTO THE KING, O KING, LIVE FOR EVER. MY GOD HAS SENT HIS ANGEL, AND HATH SHUT THE LIONS MOUTHS, THAT THEY HAVE NOT HURT ME, FORASMUCH AS BEFORE HIM INNOCENCY WAS FOUND IN ME, AND ALSO BEFORE THEE, O KING, HAVE I DONE NO HURT. THEN WAS THE KING EXCEEDINGLY GLAD FOR HIM, AND COMMANDED THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE DANIEL UP OUT OF THE DEN. SO DANIEL WAS TAKEN UP OUT OF THE LIONS DEN, AND NO MANNER OF HURT WAS FOUND UPON HIM, BECAUSE HE BELIEVED IN HIS GOD. AND THE KING COMMANDED, AND THEY BROUGHT THOSE MEN WHICH HAD ACCUSED DANIEL, AND THEY CAST THEM INTO THE DEN OF LIONS, THEM, THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR WIVES, AND THE LIONS HAD THE MASTERY OF THEM. AND BRAKE ALL THEIR BONES IN PIECES OR EVER THEY CAME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DEN. [/size]
DISLIKES
A PREACHER WHO IS LONG WINDED AND HAS NOT A CLUE OF WHAT HE IS PREACHING ABOUT AND THE WHOLE CONGREGATION IS FALLING ASLEEP. SOMEONE TRYING TO FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU AFTER SERVICE AND THEY ARE RIGHT UP IN YOUR FACE AND THEIR BREATH IS KICKING. A CHOIR MEMBER THAT KNOWS THEY ARE TONE DEAF AND SING LOUDER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE.
AND PETER ANSWERED HIM ANS SAID, LORD, IF IT BE THOU, BID ME COME UNTO THEE ON THE WATER. AND HE SAID, COME, AND WHEN PETER WAS COME DOWN OUT OF THE SHIP, HE WALKED ON THE WATER, TO GO TO JESUS. BUT WHEN HE SAW THE WIND BOISTEROUS, HE WAS AFRAID, AND BEGINNING TO SINK, HE CRIED, SAYING, LORD, SAVE ME. AND IMMEDIATELY JESUS STRETCHED FORTH HIS HAND, AND CAUGHT HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, O THOU OF LITTLE FAITH, WHEREFORE DIDST THOU DOUBT? AND WHEN THEY WERE COME INTO THE SHIP, THE WIND CEASED.
"Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the LORD your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth . . The LORD will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow." Deuteronomy 28:1,12 (NASB)
