Friendship exhortations from the holy writ
proverbs 17:17A friend is always loyal,
and a brother is born to help in time of need.
Anyone with an ear for negative things about you isn't your friend
Proverbs 18:24There are “friends” who destroy each other,
but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.
Fake friends exist ,they hang around till they know enough to tell others your failings and weakness .
True friends defend your cause ,stand for you in your absence ,and never question your motives .
You discover them when you fail ,falter,err and mess things up .If you haven't failed before or seen such things above ,you don't know your friends yet !
John 15:13There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Jesus friends were sinful folks ,imperfect men .
That's why love is not for jolly good times but bad times .
Friends are those who stick with your good,bad and ugly moments
1Peter4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
True friends are fervent about loving you and never about your errors .
Do you have friends ? Are you anyone's friend ?
I call you blessed
USA's Anita Alvarez sank slowly to the bottom of the pool at the world championships in Budapest on Wednesday.
Her coach, Andrea Fuentes, scanned the pool deck and made a split-second decision: She dove in to save her.
This image reminds me of the importance of coaching and mentoring.
This coach had the ability to recognize when Anita was under longer than she normally is.
This coach had the desire to help.
This coach had the ability to help.
This coach acted while others were still watching on the sideline.
We have way too many young leaders drowning right now especially in the church. I’ve personally watched as many friends have walked away and unfortunately a couple even taking their own lives due to the pressure that comes from navigating church leadership.
Every Paul needs a Timothy and every Timothy needs a Paul.
If you’re a young person that doesn’t have a mentor, find one. Now.
If you’re a seasoned vet and don’t have a mentee, find one. Now.
When one of us drowns, we all suffer.

Prophecy Spoken by the late Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, July, 3rd, 2013.
Nobody can take away the glory of Jesus. No time can dim it. It is there in Himself and is not produced by artificial pomp or outward circumstance. He needs no triumphalism, no trumpets, and no brilliant display. In peasant’s dress His glory breaks through.
Put Him on a Cross and it can destroy nothing of Him. He triumphs over it, transforms it, turns this thing of shame and scandal into the greatest symbol of glory on earth.
The ugliest instrument of human torture and hate, the cross, sticky with gore, is transfigured till a former enemy has to call out "Forbid it Lord that I should boast save in the death of Christ my Lord.” The more you attack Jesus, the more His mercy, his pity, his patience appears. Be His enemy, and you only give Him an opportunity to forgive, to seek, to save, and display the eternal glory of His indestructible love. God bless you.
REINHARD BONNKE
Until the government rips our Bible's from our hands, arrests our pastors for preaching the Word, bulldozes our churches, enacts laws against worship, and kills us in the streets, stop whining about "persecution" while sitting at home in your pajamas.
The Lord is our refuge!
