Brother Andrew - And God Changed His Mind
The TEN COMMANDMENTS
Exodus 20:1-17
Then God spoke all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the
land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3 You shall have no other gods besides Me.
4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any like-
ness of what is in heaven above or on earth beneath or
in the water under the earth.
5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the
Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers on the children, on the third and the four
fourth generations of those who hate Me,
6 but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those
who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in
vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who
takes His name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God;
in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or
your daughter, your male servant or your female
servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the
earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the
seventh day; therefore the lord blessed the sabbath day
and made it holy.
12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days
may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your
God gives you.
13 You shall not murder.
14 You shall not commit adultery.
15 You shall not steal.
16 You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor.
17 You shall not covet you neighbor's house; you
shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male
servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that
belongs to your neighbor."

Please
be in prayer for those in Haiti right now. The Earthquake
has been devastating. Bible Center Cathedral
of Evansville Indiana has had a 40+ year ministry
in Haiti and in 2009 became a honorary Haitian Consulate
in the USA. If you wish to give to Haiti relief, but
are worried about whether a donation will be used appropriately,
I can vouch that Pastor Van Hoose of Bible Center is
honest and trustworthy. Their church has given sacrificially
for decades to Haiti projects and Haiti Christian Orphanage
located
in Petionville Haiti.
Also, be in prayer for Eddie
James (www.ejworship.org), who apparently, will
be taking his entire ministry, band and praise team
to Haiti around Easter or shortly after Easter to minister
all over Haiti.
"Our only hope for our country is to respond to the words of Ecclesiastes 9:10.
We need to be doing what we know to do now, and not wait for someone else to do it."
Anno Domini Nostri Iesu (Jesu) Christi 2009 In the Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ 2009

Sunday December 6, 2009 Pastor R.R. Preached on
the topic: The Climax of this age: Armageddon to
101 attendees at the Bible Fellowship Hour.
Pastor R.R. is scheduled to teach Sunday 12/6/2009
at the Bible Fellowship Hour, 10:30 a.m. room 108,
Bethel Temple 4400 Lincoln Avenue, Evansville, IN
47714. You are welcome to attend, bring a friend,
or attend a church service near you.
November 25, 2009 The Dial-A-Prayer ministry 812-473-PRAY,
celebrates its 54th birthday.
November 4,
2009 Pastor R.R.Schwambach has returned to giving
the
daily prayers
on the prayer
line after
recuperating from 2 operations. Later this month,
the Dial-A-Prayer line celebrates its
54th
anniversary.
October 18,2009 Reverend Stephen Schwambach has
been filling in for Pastor R.R. for about 1 month
now. Pastor R.R. has had a number of setbacks during
this time, including a couple visits to the hospital.
I spoke with him yesterday and he is sounding good
and getting stronger. He mentioned he is looking
forward to returning to the
prayer line. Also, Pastor R.R. preached Sunday Morning
in the Bible Fellowship Hour at Bethel Temple on
end times. He said that based on Bible Prophecy and
events rapidly unfolding, it appears we are "within
a hair" of the Rapture taking place, and the
Tribulation period prophecied in the Bible. The Bible warns us that Satan will empower
the anti-christ and false prophet to perform awesome
signs, miracles
and wonders which many will worship them for.
If you
find yourself left
behind after the Rapture,
do not worship them, nor their images.
September 20, 2009 Over 60,000 people came together
in Time Square New York at the "Prayer
in the Square" event.
The news media didn't cover the large prayer gathering,
but God took notice.
August 24, 2009 Pastor R.R. has returned to the
prayer line as of Sunday night and enjoying
giving the prayers as well.
His back surgery was performed by Dr.
James St. Louis of the
Laser
Spine
Institute in Tampa where they corrected 5 problems
in his back. He would appreciate prayers as he continues
to recover the next 2 months as well as prayers
for his wife Geneva Schwambach.. Pastor also mentioned
on another subject that it won't be
much
longer before
the Rapture of the church, "things are shaping
up rapidly."
August 2009 Pastor R.R's
son Rev. Doctor Steven Schwambach has been filling
in
for
Pastor
R.R.
while he recovers from a successful back surgery.
Thanksgiving 2009, the Dial-A-Prayer ministry celebrated its 54th Anniversary
of continuous operation.
Reverend Dr. Richard R. Schwambach has faithfully led the ministry throughout
the 54 years.
You may hear his latest prayer by calling the prayer line at 812-473-7729.
You are also invited to attend Pastor's Bible Fellowship Hour, which is somewhere
between a real church service and a large Sunday School class.
Bible Fellowship Hour begins approximately 10:30 a.m. Sunday mornings in Room
108 at Bethel Temple. Join over one hundred class members for music, singing,
prayer, teaching, mission reports and a few surprises now and then.
(The service rarely goes more than 55 minutes).
Pastor R.R. Schwambach often teaches the class and I'm sure he'll be glad to
meet you.

What Can One Do?
Not Much – Unless God…
For me, Psalm 1:1-3 is foundational. “Blessed is the man who does not
walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the
seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law
he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by steams of water, which
yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does
prospers.”
Someone has written that there are more than 10,000 promises for Believers
in God’s Word. There may be more. I suggest you read, perhaps again, for
your own spiritual enrichment,
1 Kings 8:56;
Romans 4:21;
2 Corinthians 1:20;
2 Peter 1:4;
1 John 2:25;
2 Peter 1:4;
Psalm 30:5;
Psalm 34:19;
Isaiah 43:2;
John 14:1-3;
Romans 8:28;
Rev. 21:4;
Psalm 37:3;
Mark 9:23;
and John 1:12.
I have shouted over David’s words in
Psalm 37:25 and
Jeremiah 29:11.
The Lord promised in Isaiah 60:22 “…a little one will become a
thousand.” Remember in Genesis how Joseph went down into Egypt a slave
and his posterity came out a multitude. Jesus’ disciples were few but
their message became a mighty force and power for Christianity, then –
and now!
So what are we to do?
1. DEPEND UPON GOD! “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength”–
Isaiah 40:31. It’s all in Him! What He wants of you now, you can do.
2. DEDICATE (rededicate) YOUR TALENTS TO HIM! You say you have so little with
which to serve God. God asks, “What is that in your hand?” You remember!
Moses had a rod and it became a wand. David had a sling and used it to slay
a giant. A little lad had a lunch and Jesus used it to feed a multitude.
A little talent, unnoticed by others, almost forgotten by you, can be multiplied,
if it is dedicated to Him! It will be something you will enjoy, once you’ve
begun.
3. DILIGENCE IN WORK! (Constancy, everlastingly at it) God requires us to sow,
if we would reap (Galations 6:7). Thomas Edison was thought to be a genius,
but he and his co-workers were everlasting at it! Concerning the discovery of
the electric light bulb, he said, “We now know more than 5,000 ways it
will not work.” God says in Galations 6:7 that “we will reap if
we faint not.”
4. DEATH TO SELF! The way to lasting success is DOWN, not up. God looks for
men and women who will die to self and respond to the work HE wants them to
do. It will be something they are able to do and they will be blessed. Jesus
said in John 12:24, “Except a corn of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.”
Andrew brought Simon Peter to Jesus and 3,000 were saved in one day. Andrew
told about a little boy who offered to share his five loaves and two small fish.
The little boy gave what he had to Jesus. Jesus blessed it, broke it and fed
a multitude.
Will you say to the Lord, “Here are my loaves and fishes. This is what
I can do. Jesus, take them and use me for Your glory.”?

"There are no limits to the effects or the effectiveness of our prayers. If we want to leave our indelible mark upon the world, there is no more powerful way to do it than by getting involved in God's purposes through prayer."

Thanksgiving Eve 2009, the Dial-A-Prayer ministry reached its
54th anniversary. Because of the Dial-A-Prayer (812-473-PRAY) ministry,
people have
been Saved,
suicides prevented, and the discouraged encouraged and inspired to TRUST GOD,
regardless!
For me, part of my daily schedule includes preparing and recording the prayers.
Others have started similar local ministries, but before long, they gave up.
Among the reasons (such as ministers moving to other churches,) they discovered
it is a ministry that
does not carry its own weight financially.
I felt impressed to initiate this ministry 54 years ago and God has
not released me from this commitment, yet. We have worn out a number
of recording machines.
In recent years, we have purchased digital recording equipment and
people may leave a request for specific needs.
The prayer requests have been distributed to our Dial-A-Prayer, Prayer Group
and today, 20-30 people receive these requests in our Lay-Led Tuesday Morning
Intercessory Prayer Group in the Prayer Garden.
Only God knows how many prayers have been answered, but weekly, I do hear of
answered prayer, for
which we are grateful.
Comments:
I'd appreciate hearing from some visitors on what you think of the website as
well as the prayer line after calling.
Deuteronomy 28 Blessings for Obedience 1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.
2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock-the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
8 The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways.
10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD , and they will fear you. 11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity-in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground-in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.
12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
