But I said to you, ‘Don’t be shocked or afraid of them! The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt. And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you all along the way as you traveled through the wilderness, just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place.

World's Deadliest Snake Suspected in Owner's Death

PUTNAM LAKE, N.Y. – A black mamba, widely considered the world's most poisonous snake, was suspected in the death of a woman who kept 75 snakes as pets at her suburban New York home, authorities said on Thursday. Aleta Stacey, 56, was found dead in her home in Putnam Lake, New York on Tuesday by her live-in boyfriend when he returned home from work, a spokesman for the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said. Police were called to the home, about 65 miles from New York City, and discovered approximately 75 snakes. Stacey's boyfriend, Vito Caputo, 46, told investigators that he discovered locks open on an enclosure that housed a 5-foot long African black mamba, indicating Stacey was handling the snake and it may have bitten her.
"Possible snake bit wounds on one of her forearms" were found on Stacey's body, according to a statement by the sheriff's office. They were awaiting the autopsy results to determine the cause of death. The black mamba and the rest of the snakes - some of them venomous - were turned over to the Bronx Zoo, at the direction of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
The black mamba is considered the world's most deadly snake, according to the National Geographic Society. Its bite kills nearly 100 percent of victims unless they are immediately treated with an antivenin. Untreated, victims typically die within 20 minutes.

Faith and Works.
14 What use is it,my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
18 But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” James 2:14-18

Trust God and Keep Going
'...Gideon... crossed over, exhausted but still in pursuit.' Judges 8:4
Are you thinking of quitting? You believed you could make a difference until they poured criticism and cold water on you. At that point you decided it was easier to adjust your expectations to their opinion and just keep smiling. Don't do it; God has too much invested in you! The comfort zone is for those who are exempt from pain but denied progress; protected from failure but held in the grip of mediocrity. Get up and get out of there while you still can: '...Strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die...' (Revelation 3:2 NKJV). Open your Bible and begin to fill your mind with God's promises; they're powerful motivators. Pray, believing God for great things. Plug in at church. Rekindle your desire, for ultimately that's what determines your destiny! Jesus suffered the loss of His disciples, His friends, and even His clothes (John 19:23-24). But they couldn't rob Him of '...the joy that was set before him...' (Hebrews 12:2 NKJV). Even while He was dying He continued to minister. Then He went into hell, came out with the lock and keys and announced, 'I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore...' (Revelation 1:18 NKJV). And He is your example! When Gideon fought the Midianites we read that he '...came to the Jordan, he and the three hundred men who were with him crossed over, exhausted but still in pursuit'. Because Gideon refused to let the Jordan River intimidate him, or fatigue stop him, God gave him a great victory! And He will do the same for you.

Hope unlimited!
Ha ha ha!!!! Yes it is very true.It is really happen? the answer is YES. As i am having quit time with Lord and thinking through what we are doing on the grand in South Sudan i rejoice in the Lord. Charles one of my best buddies is heading to South Sudan and He will be working with the Guys who are clearing the land and to start our first farming this Mount of June. I am so exited to see few people from the Village of Ladingwa will be having job opportunity. This is not some thing usual happens in this village,but because of God's grace and mercy they are going to have this unremarkable experience this year. They will farm and provide food for the community and some parts of South Sudan. Above all they will be having bible study and share Christ with the entirely village. Sudan had been crippled by war and religious differences many years people of South were denied from many privileges but thank God who cares for his people is able and will glorify Him self to this poor and needy people.
