LIHEAP (Low-Income Home Energy

Assistance Program)

LIHEAP applications are now being accepted throughout

September and October, for homes with senior citizens and

disabled residents. Beginning October 1st, applications will be

accepted for homes that are currently disconnected due to lack

of payment. All other households meeting the eligibility

guidelines can apply on and after November 1st. Cook County

residents in need of assistance with their utility bills should

call CEDA's LIHEAP Hotline at 800-571-CEDA (2332),

8:00 a.m.—6:00 p.m. Monday – Friday.

Eligibility Requirements: To be eligible for LIHEAP,

residents must be at or below 150% of the federal income

poverty level and live in Cook County. LIHEAP applications

can be taken at one of the intake sites located throughout Cook

County. When applying for assistance, clients must bring in

the following information:

Proof of *gross income from all household members for

the past 30 days.

A copy of your current heat and electric bills (if you pay

for your home energy directly).

Proof of Social Security Numbers of all household

members (Social Security Cards, a letter or printout

from the Social Security Administration, or any other

form of government-issued identification that shows

both name and Social Security Number).

If a member of your household receives TANF, you must

bring their “Medical Eligibility Card”.

If you rent and your utilities are included in the rent, bring

proof of your rental agreement that must state your

monthly rent amount and that your utilities are included in

the rent.

Proof of home ownership is required for furnace.

Most applications take at least 30 days to process, so clients

must be patient. Clients will receive written notification of

their approval for LIHEAP funds. If the client is approved,

money is either given directly to the utility company or, if the

clients' utility bills are factored into their monthly rent

payment, given directly to the client.

* For households with more than three residents please visit

CEDA‟s website below to view a complete chart of gross

incomes.

GO OUT AND TEACH ALL NATIONS

by Bro. Ozell

Our purpose The Israel of God is a Bible Study Class. Our purpose is to

teach the uncut word of God according to the Prophets (Old

Testament) and Apostles (New Testament).

Mt 28v 18: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19: Go ye

therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name

of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20:

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have

commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the

end of the world. Amen. The Pastor and teachers at the IOG travel the United States

teaching this nation, but we read where the Lord said teach all

nations. In order for Israel to fulfill Jesus words something had

to come about. 2000 years after the Lord‟s command, the Lord

invented something called the internet Now Israel can begin to

fulfill prophecy. The IOG has obeyed the Masters command. The Lord has

blessed us to teach his creation by utilizing the information

superhighway. Every Sabbath we stream live @

http://www.theisraelofgod.com/ We also can be heard all over the world on World Harvest

Radio which is short wave radio @ http://www.whr.org.

fulfilling another of Jesus command Mt 24v14: And this

gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world

for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

All over the world the Israel of God is being heard.

The vineyard must help teach all nations

The vineyard has to help our Pastors and teachers, the

vineyard is us. It is written Isa 5:7 For the vineyard of the

LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, it is our duty to go out

and teach the nations about Jesus. It is written Amos 3v1:

Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O

children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought

up from the land of Egypt, saying, 2: You only have I known

of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for

all your iniquities. Paul said that we have the oracles of God.

Rom 3v1: What advantage then hath the Jew? or what

profit is there of circumcision?:2 Much every way: chiefly,

because that unto them were committed the oracles of

God. The vineyard has the most prestigious and coveted job on

earth. It is written, Jesus said Israel shall be a kingdom of

priest Ex 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of

priests, and an holy nation. Peter confirmed what Jesus said.

1Pt 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,

an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth

the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his

marvellous light: How do we help?

Now to the purpose of this writing. How can the vineyard help

teach the nations about Jesus? We live in a time when a

computer is a necessity in the home. We can help teach Jesus

word by going to Christian forums on the internet. These

Christian forums discuss their understanding ,they teach their

doctrines, they teach their denomination.

Many of us may get the ear of one person usually on the job or

a family member, but on these Christian forums you can teach

many by posting a lesson or answering people's questions. It is

easy and very simple. The only requirement for the royal

priesthood is understanding the Word of God. Those who have

set at the Israel of God for over 2.5 years should have

understanding. Most of these Christian forums are Gentile owned and

moderated, they have an agenda and that agenda is to teach

their gospel. We can‟t have this, we have been instructed to

teach the nation about the Jesus of the bible. We have been

told to preach the gospel of Jesus in all the world. We will go

into their cities via the internet and teach. Mt 11:1 And it

came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his

twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach

in their cities. We will bring them to the Israel of God via the

Sabbath day live lessons. The nations need to know who the priests are and this will

eventually get the nations on these forums to come and sit and

be fed by our teachers. Israel, it works! We have a small work

force out there, but we need more labourers. Mt 9:37 Then

saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but

the laborers are few. These forums have a statement of faith so we have to be wise

as a serpent so we don‟t get kicked off right away. Mt 10:16

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be

ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. They

have moderators who don‟t understand the word of God, so be

wise. They have agitators so be harmless as doves.

Find time to participate remember it's your job. Make it your

part time job if you work and if you are retired make it your

full time job. Again the Lord said Mt 28v 18: And Jesus

came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto

me in heaven and in earth. 19: Go ye therefore, and teach all

nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the

Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20: Teaching them to observe

all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am

with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. The Israel of God is a Bible Study Class. Our purpose is to

teach the uncut word of God according to the Prophets (Old

Testament) and Apostles (New Testament).

Here are a few sites that some brothers and myself are on.

There are hundreds of forums on the internet.

God vs. Science... Submitted by Sis. L. Williams

Author unknown

'Let me explain the problem science has

with religion.' The atheist professor of philosophy pauses

before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.

'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,' the student says.

'So you believe in God?' 'Absolutely. '

'Is God good?' 'Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly.

'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment.

'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here

and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him?

Would you try?'

'Yes sir, I would.'

'So you're good...!' 'I wouldn't say that.'

'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if

you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'



The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He

doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of

cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is

this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?'

The student remains silent.

'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. He takes a sip of

water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to

relax.

'Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?'

'Er...yes,' the student says.

'Is Satan good?'

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'

'Then where does Satan come from?'

The student falters. 'From God'

'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there

evil in this world?'

'Yes, sir.'

'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything,

correct?'

'Yes'

'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created

everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and

according to the principle that our works define who we are,

then God is evil.'

Again, the student has no answer. 'Is there sickness?

Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do

they exist in this world?'

The student squirms on his feet. 'Yes.'

'So who created them?'

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his

question.

'Who created them?' There is still no answer. Suddenly the

lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The

class is mesmerized. 'Tell me,' he continues onto another

student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?'

The student's voice betrays him and cracks. 'Yes, professor, I

do.'

The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses

you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have

you ever seen Jesus?'

'No sir. I've never seen Him.'

'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'

'No, sir, I have not.'

'Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your

Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus

Christ, or God for that matter?'

'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't..'

'Yet you still believe in him?'

'Yes'

'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable

protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you

say to that, son?'

'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my faith.'

'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem

science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a

question of His own. 'Professor, is there such thing as heat?'

'And is there such a thing as cold?'

'Yes, son, there's cold too.'

'No sir, there isn't.'

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested.

The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to

explain.

'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-

heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we

don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees

below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after

that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be

able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Everybody or

object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy,

and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit

energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat.

You see, sir, cold is only a word we used to describe the

absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can

measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not

the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the

classroom, sounding like a hammer.

'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as

darkness?'

'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if

it isn't darkness?'

'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the

absence of something. You can have low light, normal light,

bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly

you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the

meaning we use to define the word. 'In reality, darkness isn't.

If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker,

wouldn't you?'



The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him.

This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making,

young man?'

'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is

flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be

flawed.'

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time.

'Flawed? Can you explain how?'

'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student

explains. 'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a

good God and a bad God.

You are viewing the concept of God as something finite,

something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a

thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen,

much less fully understood either one. To view death as the

opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot

exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life,

just the absence of it.'

'Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they

evolved from a monkey?'

'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young

man, yes, of course I do.'

'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he

realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester,

indeed.

'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at

work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going

endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now

not a scientist, but a preacher?'

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the

commotion has subsided.

'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other

student, let me give you an example of what I mean.'

The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the

class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class

breaks out into laughter. 'Is there anyone here who has ever

heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched

or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to have done

so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable,

demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,

with all due respect, sir.'

'So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your

lectures, sir?'

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student,

his face unreadable.

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I

guess you'll have to take them on faith.'

'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists

with life,' the student continues. Now, sir, is there such a thing

as evil?'

Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is.

We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's in

humanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence

everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing

else but evil.'

To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at least it

does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God.

It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to

describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is

the result of what happens when man does not have God's love

present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is

no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.'

The atheist professor sat down.

'Building Hopes'

To our good health:

Let's keep in mind that it's what we eat and

how we think that equals good health. The

word 'doctor' has replaced the name JESUS

in so many people's conversations. He is

our HEALER, so pray to the Father in Jesus'

name and call upon the Elders to anoint you with oil and pray

for your healing. Seek him first and if need be see your

doctor. They are here for a reason but they are not GOD. We

are so very grateful to sister Deloris Buie for the much needed

information on beet sugar which is better for our health than

white cane sugar which breaks down the body and causes

headaches to name a few. It can be purchased at health food

stores. Also, please don‟t let our children lay their faces in the

seats of the chairs. Bacteria can cause rashes and sickness.

Words of gratitude: We are so very proud of our graduates for 2009. Thanks to the

editor, sister --- Bridgette for such a fine job with our

newsletter and for that beautiful article in July. It was so

wonderful to hear about modest apparel. May God, that took

me back to when older women would teach younger women

about shamefacedness and words from the bible when women

cared about keeping themselves and their families clean and

wanting to be married to God fearing men and staying married

and when men stayed and raised their children and protected

their families, becomes the norm and not a thing of the past or

a novelty.



To our spiritual growth:

Let us include in our daily scripture the six things that

almighty GOD hates seven is an abomination. Proverbs 6:16-

19 Let's take inventory of our selves often and seek to know

what is required of us. I was convicted again for being in the

midst of some ungodly situations and I almost got involved

with the planning for one of man's biggest feast days of them

all, that comes up in November.

Amos 5:21-22-23 I'm so grateful for the chance to repent,

because we want to build. Can we all say..."let it begin with

me".

Yours truly Sister Calhoun 'twomama'.

44 Uses For WD-40 Submitted by Sis. L. Williams

Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and de greaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Ken East (one of the original founders) says "there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you....' IT IS MADE FROM FISH OIL'." Here are 44 uses for WD-40: 1) Protects silver from tarnishing. 2) Removes road tar and grime from cars. 3) Cleans and lubricates guitar strings. 4) Gives floors that `just-waxed` sheen without making it slippery. 5) Keeps flies off cows. 6) Restores and cleans chalkboards. 7) Removes lipstick stains. 8) Loosens stubborn zippers. 9) Untangles jewelry chains. 10) Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.. 11) Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill. 12) Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing. 13) Removes tomato stains from clothing. 14) Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots. 15) Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors. 16) Keeps scissors working smoothly. 17) Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes 18) It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! (Open some windows if you have a lot of marks) 19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car. Removed quickly, with WD-40! 20) Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.

21) Lubricates gear shift on lawn mowers. 22) Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises. 23) Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them open with ease. 24) Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close. 25) Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers. 26) Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles. 27) Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans. 28) Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling 29) Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly. 30) Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools. 31) Removes splattered grease on stove. 32) Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging. 33) Lubricates prosthetic limbs. 34) Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell). 35) Removes all traces of duct tape. 36) Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain. 37) Florida 's favorite use Cleans and removes love bugs from grills and Bumpers . 38) Protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements. 39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. 40) Ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch. 41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. (Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag) 42) If you've washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and Presto! Lipstick is gone! 43) If you spray WD-40 on the distributor cap, it will displace the moisture and allow the car to start. 44) Keep a can of WD-40 in your kitchen cabinet. It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring.

'CATHERINE'S COLUMN'

Circumcision Lowers Risk of Infections

According to Dr. Edward Hook, in his

interview with Catherine on the subject of

Circumcision and Gonorrhea; it is important that males be

circumcised. A study was conducted on men in

Sub-Sahara Africa, where it was concluded scientifically that

men should be circumcised because it can eliminate and lower

the possibilities for infections to the male as well as the

female, esp. with the epidemic of HIV/AIDS. You can listen

Let me tell you King Jesus will be arriving in town

Oh yes . . . He‟s coming with vengeance and a Rod of Iron

And He’ll be stomping satan to the ground

Oh the saints and the angels . . . Will be coming with Him

Taking the kingdoms of this world by force

My God the news shall be traveling all over this land

By way of TV . . . Radio . . . Every source

Oh I ain‟t talking about the baby in the manger . .You KNOW

I‟m talking about the God of Israel . . . That created the world

The same God who parted the Red Sea back in Moses Day

And saw all the Egyptian Armies wheels twist and twirl

Oh Extra Extra . . . He‟s on His way

People you better stop playing . . . And get for real with God

Because His Commandments are not grievious . . . Nor hard to

keep...You better make a decision now to call Him Lord

You see LORD means you do whatever HE wants

Irrespective of what others say

Calling Him LORD means you interrupt your busy schedule

And take a little bitty time to pray

Let me tell you LORD means you dust that bible off

And you forget about the TRADITIONS OF MEN

Calling Him LORD means you blow the Trumpet in Zion

Compelling all men to JESUS . . . And to depart from sin

Oh Extra Extra . . . Read all about it

Jesus is coming . . . As a Man of WAR

And when He gets here you better have your houses in order

Because His Wrath . . . He sure shall pour
