iPhone and Android Compatible Emergency Numbers for 2013

While we pray that your New Year will be a blessed and prosperous one, we are award that God never promised us a life without adversity. He said in this life you will have trouble, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world (John 16:33). Jesus said in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Here are a few Emergency Numbers from Scripture to call on in 2013 to help get you through your "going through." Put these numbers in your iPhone, your Android phone, Galaxy S3, and on every electronic communication device.
When in sorrow, call John 14
When you have sinned, call Psalm 51
When you worry, call Matthew 6:19-34
When you are in danger, call Psalm 91
When you need faith, call Hebrews 11
When you feel down, call Romans 8:31
When you want peace and rest, call Matthew 11:25-30
When the world seems bigger than God, call Psalm 90
When your pocketbook/wallet is empty, call Psalm 37
When you are lonely and fearful, call Psalm 23
When you become bitter and critical, call 1 Corinthians 13
When you need help getting along with people, call Romans 12
When you are depressed, call Psalm 27
When people seem unkind, call John 15
In 2013, let the Word of God give you what you need when you need it! Have a blessed new year!
Remember, it is not Mohammad, Buddha, Confucius, nor New Age that saves. Jesus saves!

Wise Men Give Gifts

By: Min. Angela Lee Price
Matthew 2:1-2; 10-12 KJV

(v1) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.
(v2) Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
(v 10) When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
(v11) And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Who were these wise men, these three bearing gifts to the baby Jesus? They were outsiders from the East, Persia, which is modern day Iraq. Magi among the Persians were the intellectuals, philosophers and priests. Persia and the eastern nations were known for their star gazing, astrology, and idol worship. God in his infinite wisdom and sovereignty spoke even unto the Magi in their language of the stars and drew them from afar, some 800 miles to worship the new born King. You should be shouting right there! The Bibles says at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess Jesus as Lord. This means that one day every star gazer, astrologer, magician, every tarot card-reading soothsayer, gypsy, and psychic, no matter how far-fetched and off-based their beliefs, they shall all one day bow and confess Jesus Christ, as King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
No doubt their gifts were wrapped with beautiful bows and ribbons of multi colors, cut from the finest cloth. They traveled, following the extraordinary star, to present their best to the new born King, money and products from their far-away land, gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Some commentaries suggest that the Magi offered gold as tribute to the King in Jesus, rendering to Caesar that which was Caesar’s; frankincense to the God in Jesus, for God was often honored with the smoke of incense; and myrrh to the Man in Jesus, that should he die, the myrrh could be use to embalm him. These wise men gave gifts to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

So, as you make plans for those office holiday parties, nativity plays, concerts, church programs and festive family gatherings, I've stopped by to ask what are you giving Jesus for Christmas?

God has given every Christian at least one gift to bring to lay before the King, a spiritual gift. First Peter 4:11 states, “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms” (NIV).

Ephesians 4:7-8 tells us Jesus, the Perfect Gift, has given gifts to men. Our gifts have been given “for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (v12). Wise men give gifts!

I know some of you are saying I have no money. I have no job. I can’t afford Gucci, Lou Vuitton. I’m like the Little Drummer Boy and Alicia Keys singing “Little Drummer Girl” where she says, “Christmas is lost. I have no gifts to bring to lay before the King. Br rump, pa, pa, pum. It’s just me and my drum!” Then, my brothers and my sisters, by the mercies of God, present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Bring discernment, evangelism, and giving; bring hospitality, intercession, and knowledge; bring pastoring, teaching and writing; bring your musical gifts, vocal and instrumental.

Bring that gift that is within you! Sing glory to God in the Highest! Sing glory to God in the Highest! Sing glory to God in the Highest and on Earth Peace, good will toward men (Luke 2:14)!

New Release: The Visitation, Mary's Encounter With Gabriel

Join me, Angela Lee Price on Saturday, December 22nd for Jesus Saves Ministries Live, The Radio Show! My guest will be Bread of Life East Baptist Church, Kansas City, Mo, Praise and Worship Drector, Maurice Jackson. Maurice will be debuting his new song, The Visitation, Mary's Encounter With Gabriel. Celebrate Christmas with us Saturday, Dec. 22nd, 8:30-9:00 AM on Praise Power 1350 WLOU and the New Praize 104.7 FM, Louisville, KY! 
Heaven's greatest gift was sent to earth when God wrapped himself in humanity. The event that changed the entire course of mankind began with the miracle of the immaculate conception. Nine months before the manger; and nine months before the multitude of angelic hosts appeared to shepherds to announce the birth of Christ, one angel by the name of Gabriel, delivered a private message from God to a young virgin named Mary. She was told that she would bring forth the Messiah!

'The Visitation' is a beautifully orchestrated musical adaptation of this incredible encounter as recorded in the book of Luke 1:26-38. This warm ballad uses well placed rich, soaring symphonic and lyrical crescendos to lead the listener back to the meeting place of Nazareth. With an emotionally inspiring duet performed by songwriter Maurice Alan Jackson along with the wonderfully gifted Edrica Mack, this dramatic composition will transport you to the very conversation had between these two God-appointed vessels. You will begin to visualize the powerful change taking place within Mary as she receives the Words of God. Her innocent heart moves from troubled uncertainty, towards tender moments of curious attention and finally to full assurance as she embraces her place in God's plan to bring forth The Savior of the world.


Merry Christmas from Jesus Saves Ministries, Celebrating 7 Years of Lifting Up Jesus Christ. We invite you to join the Jesus Saves Social Network, a social network concerned for "The Least of These" (Matt. 25:35-40).

DIVAS for Christ Honor Homeless with Prayer Breakfast

DIVAS for Christ (Divinely, Inspired, Virtuous and Victoriously Anointed Sisters) presented a beautiful Advent candle lighting prayer breakfast on Saturday, December 15th at Hotel Louisville honoring the homeless women at Wayside Christian Mission with a warm meal and HUGS - Hats, Undergarments, Gloves, Slippers, and Socks.
Rev. Dr. Altonnette Hawkins, President and Founder of DIVAS for Christ opened the program with welcome and history of organization. Rev. Mary Frances Stiner, First Gethsemane Baptist Church shared on the royal significance of the color purple. Rev. Sherrie Miller, Quinn Chapel AME Church, offered Prayer for Homeless and the Blessing of the Food.
Five ministers from various churches and denominations from around Kentucky participated in the lighting of the Advent candles of hope, peace, joy, love, and the Christ candle, Rev. Syvoskia Bay-Pope, Rev. Mary Francis Stiner, Minister Cassandra Harris-Gray, Minister Angela Lee Price, and Rev. Dr. Kathy Goodwin respectively. They each spoke of the significance of their candle and prayed a brief prayer.
Rev. Ton'ya Triplett and psalmist Julia Royston, both of St. Stephen Church, ministered in song. Rev. Amariah McIntosh, Pastor, Phillips Memorial CME Church, Lexington, Kentucky preached a moving and uplifting sermon on Mary the mother of Jesus stating that women were blessed and highly favored of the Lord. Pastor McIntosh ministered in song as well. Also, included was a "Shop Around" Meet the Vendors segment that allowed vendors to share briefly about their hand-crafted, and one-of-a-kind items.

Jesus Saves Ministries' founder Min. Angela Lee Price lit the candle of Love stating, "We lit the candles of Hope, Peace and Joy. Now we light the fourth Advent candle, the candle of love which is also purple. We light the candle of Love as we remember that Christ will come again and bring us everlasting peace and joy. It's light is meant to remind us of the love that God has for us. Jesus shows us God's perfect love. He is God's love in human form. The Bible says that "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.  Love is patient, love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful or conceited, rude or selfish. Love is not quick to take offense, it keeps no records of wrongs, it does not gloat over other people's troubles, but rejoices in the right, the good, and the true. There is nothing that love cannot face, there is no limit to its faith, to its hope, to its endurance. Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8). We light this candle of LOVE today to remind us of how God's perfect love is found in Jesus.

Heavenly Father, Lord, thank you for loving us so much that You sent Your Son, Jesus to die for our sins. Father, forgive us for the times we have failed to love as You have commanded. Your Word reminds us, "If I gave everything to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it, but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing." Help us to love You faithfully. Help us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves (Romans 13:9). For You have said in Your Word, "Three things will last forever - faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13). In Jesus Name, Amen."
DIVAS for Christ is a global Christ-centered women's ministry network focused on self-care awareness and support.  In 2001, Divas for Christ was birth as an ecumenical women's ministry network.  Since then, it has evolved from the traditional women's ministry model to an international online women's ministry network with over 1500 members.  "We believe that before we can effectively serve and care forothers, we must first care for ourselves.  Jesus is our perfect model of self-care found in Mark 1:35," stated Dr. Hawkins.
