Helpful Spiritual Requests Philippians 1:19-21 ”For I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.

I eagerly Henry Nelson expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

The Holy Spirit teaches us how to appeal to the most essential needs of every person.

Paul wrote, Philippians 1:19 says, “I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.”

Amen! he Holy Spirit gives us insights into emotional, mental, physical, social, economic, cultural, and spiritual needs of every person. Ask the Lord for

T

special wisdom to help you persuasively appeal to every individual’s felt, perceived and real needs in a way that draws them closer to the Lord.

The Holy Spirit guides you to plead with people according to their individual and group perspectives. Jesus said in Luke 12:12, “For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.” Ask the Lord to give you special guidance in the way that you plead with people according to their greatest needs for safety, security, belonging, acceptance and success. Amen!

The Holy Spirit provides you with a special timing in your appeals to people. . Acts 10:19 says, “While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, ’Simon, three men are looking for you. So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.” Amen!

Ask the Lord for a special sensitivity to the timing of your appeals to people. The Spirit knows when people are at their most receptive state of mind.

The Holy Spirit senses the kind of appeals that will draw people to the love of Jesus Christ. People respond differently to motivations based on their personality, background and experiences. 1st John 2:20says,

“But you have anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. As for you, anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you.” Amen! Ask the Lord to help you to facilitate all the teaching abilities given to you in the person of the Holy Spirit. Beseech the Lord to help you appeal to the various personality, background and experiential wants and desires in your organization for God’s purposes and glory.

The Holy Spirit knows just which people are lonely, hurting or disillusioned. The Spirit can give the best kind of petition in your praying to draw people closer to God, His will and His people. Acts 9:17 says, “Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom.” Amen! Pray that God will give you special sensitivity to the emotions of your people so that you can minister the best healing words to them. Also, ask the Lord to help you to find people who are skilled in appealing to the lonely, hurting and disillusioned and learn all you can from them.

The Holy Spirit provides you with the best appeals for repentance, conviction of sin and conversion. Acts 2; 38 says, “Peter

C ity B eat

replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Ask the Lord for such persuasive abilities that you can appeal as Peter did when He saw 3,000 added to the family of God on the day of Pentecost. Trust the Lord to provide you with elders and leaders in your church that will be able to make powerful appeals for repentance, conviction of sin and conversion as they may have special gifts of evangelism that you are lacking.

The Holy Spirit knows how to make appeals that pierce through any person’s intellectual, emotional or cultural barriers.

Isaiah 44; 8, 9 says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Ask the Lord to let the Holy Spirit make special appeals in the hearts of each person in your organization as you use prayer and the word of God to appeal to every person’s conscience.

The Lockout Ends A Christmas Gift for Mavericks and Fans By: Bettye “Katt” Williams ELITE nEWS STAFF WRITER

O

n last week, the long wait for the Dallas Mavericks and the fans was finally over as the results everyone had been waiting for came to fruition. An agreement to end the nBA lockout by a Minnesota Federal U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz has put the legal fight between the nBA’s players and owners on hold to give the two sides time to finish their collective bargaining agreement and granted a request by the players and issued a stay of all court The stay is valid until December 9, and a formal agreement is expected to be approved.

What does this mean for the Mavericks and all nBA teams? They will be able to return to work, assuming all the details get finalized after a five-month-old lockout comes to an end. A 66-game season, as is tentatively planned, means 16 fewer regular-season games of wear and tear on Jason Kidd and Dirk nowitzki.

So will Tyson Chandler, a free agent, open up and celebrate the opener at AAC with the Dallas Mavericks? Or will Mark Cuban not be smart and let him go? I’m sure Dallas Mavericks players and fans want to see him come back; I know I do.

Chandler is the Mavericks’ prized free agent who will get a healthy raise from the $12.6 million he collected last year. So what does Mark Cuban have to do to keep him? I am confident that Mark Cuban will figure out a way.

The other Mavs’ free agents are guards J.J. Barea and DeShawn Stevenson, and forwards Caron Butler, Peja Stojakovic and Brian Cardinal.

Since winning the championship on June 12, with a series-closing 105-95 victory in Miami, the Mavs are hoping they will not only be celebrating an opener that will be one of the biggest sports days in Fort Worth/Dallas history, but celebrate by getting their championship rings and have the

S

championship banner raised to the rafters as well on Christmas Day. “Either way it goes it’s going to be a celebration,” Terry said. “It’s a Christmas Day game, we’re excited to be back out there playing, and I’m fired up and I’m ready to go. I wouldn’t care who came to town to play — Miami or whoever — it doesn’t matter. We’re back, we’re out there, we’re excited, and we’re at home, so we want to win.”

The Heat has been picked as a prohibitive favorite to capture the nBA title says the media. It’s going to be who can maintain in a rough season healthy and who can have the drive to win.

The Mavs will have a 10-day training camp, a couple of pre-season games, and opening day (Christmas) is less than a month away and one of the biggest days in Mavs history.

The nBA regular season would run through April 26, and teams must play at least one set of back-to-back-to-back games if a new labor deal is ratified in time to start on Christmas. The league posted an outline of what the schedule would look like on its Twitter pages Sunday. The plan

is a 66-game regular season, ending about 10 days later than usual. The last possible day of the nBA finals would be June 26, two weeks later than the championship series ended last season. Teams would play 48 games within their conference and 18 non-conference games. no team would play on three straight nights more than three times.

So, will the Mavericks repeat as nBA champions?

peRspecTive iN The black cOmmuNiTy Young Former Lincoln High School Student To Run For DISD School Board By: Damarcus Offord SPECIAL TO ELITE nEWS

T

he reason I am running for the Dallas ISD School Board Trustee seat, District 9, I believe that we must start with the community and the stakeholders and teachers who deserve the utmost respect. Our District is going in the wrong direction, teachers and parents and the community feels that they are not valued anymore. We must not forget that when you serve in public office that is a big responsibility, and if you are not doing your job you Damarcus Offord must answer to the public and if you call that getting bullied you do not need to serve. People in my community should not have to go back and hear from other people about information in District 9. As trustee, you are my boss and you are the people I answer to, which are my community, teachers, students and parents and stakeholders. I believe that DISD as a whole is going backwards instead of moving forward for the students. Are we pro public, or pro charter schools? As trustee, I will make sure that all concerns are herd and will work my hardest to make sure that we keep the community involved. We must stop cutting educators and find innovative ways to keep our schools open. We must believe in our community and support the up and coming leaders of tomorrow, our youth.

Damarcus Offord was born October 7, 1991 in Dallas, TX to the parents of Latrice Offord and Marcus McQueen. Growing up, Damarcus was always a person who loved going to school and attending church with his family. At an early age his family and peers began to see what a leader he was becoming when he was involved in things at his school and programs he would take part in. When Damarcus attending Paul L. Dunbar Elementary School in South Dallas, he figured out, he was becoming a tremendous leader. When he arrived at Pearl C. Anderson Middle

School in the 7th grade, he wanted to make a difference in his community and in his school.

Damarcus was involved in student council his 7th and 8th grade years. While at Pearl C. Anderson he had the chance to travel to Washington, D.C. with the student council and his class mates to see beyond South Dallas, the area where he was raised. When he left Pearl C. he did not just stop, he kept on going by taking roles as a responsible leader and using the tools that he learned in middle school. Damarcus went on to attend Lincoln High School where he became involved in student council as a sophomore representative and was also voted as junior representative. He later became the Lincoln High School junior class president for the 2009-2010 school years and was re-elected to serve his class as senior class president for the 2010-2011 school years.

Damarcus Offord traveled to the 2009 Presidential Inauguration in Chicago to film a documentary on President Barack Obama. Damarcus had the chance to meet Jessie Jackson and many different people. Damarcus also served on the Dallas ISD Teen School Board 2009-10 and 201011. Selected by his peers, for two consecutive years, he served as the community chairperson.

Damarcus also helped the Dallas ISD Teen Board start a reading program which occurred two years straight in partnership with the East Dallas Boys & Girls Club to help youth understand importance of reading and staying in their books.

Accomplishments: Helped Bring Emmitt Smith to Lincoln to speak to the Lincoln students, May 2011, youth of the year at the East Dallas Boys & Girls Club, May 2011, I won $5,000 for Lincoln High School to help beautify the campus, September 2009, Education Is Freedom student and also featured in the “EIF” video, Member of the nAACP, Served on the Dallas ISD Assistant Principal of the year selection committee, appeared on several national websites for leading a student protest in March of 2011 at Lincoln High School, regarding teacher layoffs and budget cuts for Texas schools, and serves on the navarro College SGA, where he is currently the only African American serving on the Executive Board, but not the first, he is the freshmen representative.

So I why do I want to run? Because “THE TIME IS nOW”

Dr. William M. Campbell

There are some things worth staying up for.

It is good to wake up with the Lord on your mind; and other times not to sleep because the Lord is on your mind.

INvASION OF THE U. S. A. BY THE 3RD WORLD Part I

W

e have people coming here from all over the world. Our government has let immigration laws get completely out of hand. There should be greater restrictions on our immigration laws in this country.

Let me give a few examples of safety within this country. When World War II began and Japan got involved in the war with America, this country did not take any chances with people from that country who were now living in America. This country built camps for those people to live until the war was over. now, not only will we continue to let people into this country who we know hates us, but we let them into our Armed Forces. We know people out of the Middle Eastern countries hate us something terrible. They not only talk about distruction of America, but they themselves have tried to destroy things and people within our country. Look at 9/11 in new york / Washington, DC. Look what happened at Ft, Hood Army base not long ago. A Chaplain in uniform born in America. But yet hated this country because he was an Arab.

We have had problems with Arab nations for a very long time now, because they hate Americans. now, if we know this, why do we still let them into our country? When you are at War with another country, there should not be anyway they could get a VISA to come here. Whether we are in a shooting war or not, it is still war, because they are looking for ways to destroy us.

We have given over our schools and neighborhood stores to 3rd world people.

Our schools are in serious trouble because American culture has been deluted with 3rd world culture. Their teaching is done more or less from a 3rd world prospective. The Gene Turner

discipline in schools are at it’s lowest level, because 3rd world culture is not as strict as American culture. you can understand that very well just by walking into Wal-Marts.

Most of your gas stations and neighborhood stores are owned and operated by 3rd world people, because American banks have money set aside just to loan them just for that reason, but we cannot get a loan like that.

They buy stores in our neighborhood because they know we are not going to come together and buy anything to serve our neighborhood. Every nation / culture know that we are consumers only. We do not want to own anything in our own neighborhood, and that’s why people just come into this country and run right to our neighborhoods.

I am very intrigued over the fact that every outside country come here has a dislike for the BLACK citizens of this country, in fact they hate us because they think they must find someone in this country that they are better than, so, they choose us. Even people from Africa think they are better. now, that is really something, but we make them think that way because a lot of us pick out a corner, a tree in a vacant lot and start a domino game each day and not look for a job. Pull our pants down below our butts, wear our caps backwards, or side ways, and to top things off we walk around cursing loud, disrespecting others, and ourselves, We let others know that we do not want to do anything other than make people believe we are something that we are not. Do not get me wrong, I know that does not apply to all of us, but that group of us I am talking about is too many. Since others think that they are better than we are, they will take a small group of us and apply it to all of us as a nation of people.

I have learned that countries do not need bullets to invade a country who will open doors and let them in like we are doing in this day and time.

Let us not forget to read our Bibles. And may God bless you REAL GOOD , and may He ever keep you in His loving care.

Christmas Prayers

A

nyone who has experienced the spirituality in prayers knows that they have the strength to uplift you to a tranquil state of mind. you lose your doubts and your apprehensions when you put yourself in the Geraldine hands of an omnipoDavidson-Hooker tent God. Prayers are a very personal choice and should never be imposed upon you by anyone. How you pray and what you want to pray for are completely your decisions and yet you need to experience it for the first time to know how it feels.

Thankfully, parents do their bit in introducing prayers to children so that they may appreciate them when they can understand their meaning better. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ or nativity of Christ. It is important to note that the figure of the ‘Son of God’ was not born amidst riches or to a King. He had the origins of being born to humble parents in a stable whose virtue lay in their spotless character. It is thus a beautiful truth that spiritual awakening came to the seeker regardless of whether he possessed worldly riches or not.

Thus, Christmas prayers celebrating Jesus’ birth make you feel blessed that God or the Supreme Being once walked this very earth and opened a path from the earth to heaven for everyone to follow.

Christmas prayers can be of many different hues and shades but the essence of these prayers is thanking the Lord for what He has given you and speaking positive affirmations that things will improve. This feeling of gratitude fills you with inspiration and comfort for a better tomorrow even when things in this world might not be perfect at the moment. So, if you haven’t yet felt the power of a prayer full of hope, optimism and positive words, experience it once to develop the faith everyone requires in their life for that intangible solace humans seek.

Notes From Union Hope

O

ur Church School lesson was “Facing Life without Worry” MATTHEW 6:2534 was a lesson fitted for our time.

With the world it seems is in a recession, jobs Eld lloyd T. Morgan are scarce, family members killing family members, our politicians so far removed from the common people and entrenched in their parties agenda that they are paralyzed to the point of doing nothing that they gave the common people pause to worry. But those that know the Lord can rest in knowing that they serve a Saviour who not only care for them but have promised to take care of them and they need not be frozen by fear. Jesus told us that life consist of more than food and clothes. He calls our attention to the fact that birds have no need to plant or harvest or put food in barns because h=their heavenly father feeds them. I began to reflect and could not remem-

ber ever seeing a bird die from starvation unless someone had caged them up. If God takes such good care of birds and flowers he asked why do we worry when we have a greater value to him than any of these things. The lesson taught us not to borrow from tomorrow’s troubles because today’s trouble is enough for today. Have you ever went to bed worried about something bad that was supposed to happen the next day and the day went by and it never happened? Often we ruin our today worried about a tomorrow that may or may not come. When we place our faith in the Lord who know all of our tomorrows we can live a worry free life. The morning message was delivered by our guest was Rev. Wright of Galilee Missionary Baptist church from the subject “Learning how to be thankful” Rom.1:12. There are many little things in life that people and God do for us that we never say to them “Thank you.”

Be blessed Psalm 119:105 your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path

Prayer Closet

have written a lot concerning the purpose and advantage of the enclosed place of prayer, which is our prayer closet, a place where we are alone with God, in prayer. However, there are times when we when we need to pray with others. Praying with others often brings us special encouragement. Jesus said, “Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:19-20). Perhaps we would see great things happening in our churches if we spent more time praying together. We can see in the book of Acts what priority the believers gave to prayer. “They continued steadfast in prayer daily, and the Lord added to the church daily” (Acts Pastor Clarence 2:42-47).

Henderson

From the Mount

O

ur Sunday school lesson titled, “Facing Life Without Worry” Matthew 6: 25-34, the lesson high points were, “God is our greater provider, what we need to do to get Johnny King relieve from worry and relining on God to meet our needs.” Dr. Johnny King delivered the morning message titled, “Delayed Deliverance” Matthew 14: 22-29.

BarBerShOp talk with leON SiMON

A

t the first of the nFL season you had contenders and pretenders. Three fourths of the way through things is coming in to focus. The cream is slowly coming to the top. There leon Simon are still some big questions to be answered. I’m never naïve enough with 5 regular season games remaining to pick Champions. I do have a revelation, Andy Reed the coach of the Philadelphia Eagle can be declared the dumbest coach in the nFL. I can truthfully say after some research, that that title is his and his along. His team is pretty much out of the play-off picture. And it was wonderfully engineered by him. In a must win game he benched arguably his best player. He said it was because DeSean Jackson missed a special team meeting. A Player of Jackson’s caliber

page 8

would never be a kick returner on any smartly coached team unless it’s in emergency situation.

Dez Bryant the Cowboy’s young receiver is an excellent kick returner, but the Cowboy’s fear injury and chose not play him there unless it’s a must situation.

First off Jackson is having problems getting his contract re-worked. Jackson is one of the triggers on this team. yet the eagle’s brought in $200 million of free agent players, none of which is as critical to their success as Jackson. not being a big fan of the Eagles I love it.

The word is they’re afraid to pay him big money because they’re afraid, with his diminutive size he would get hurt. But they gave Michael Vick $100 million and he’s been hurt twice this year, and he’s injured now. Most experts included yours truly think that Vince young is a bigger, better, healthier, and most of all cheaper Quarterback than Vick. I keep hearing about Vick’s potential, Vicks in his 30’s. It doesn’t generally take a super star that long to shine.

Every athlete in the world when their value is questioned, they’re judged by Championships. Vince is like Tim Tebow, pretty or not he wins, Vick has never won anything. But a foot race or two. He will always get hurt.

Even the Michael Vick supporters, should be wondering in a game against the Giants a must game, you suspend Vicks best weapon. Because he missed a special team meeting.

Jimmy Johnson cut a linebacker, John Roper for sleeping in a meeting. When ask what would he had done if that was Emmitt Smith, Johnson said. I would have told Emmitt to wake up to wake up, but Jimmie’s got two Super- Bowl rings. you don’t cut your nose off to spite your face. Michael Irvin missed a flight, or should I say Mike got left in Dallas, Jimmie declared Mike would not start that game. Second offensive play of the game there goes Michael Irvin. After the game when questioned by the Media. you only kept mike out one down, Jimmie’s reply “I’m not stupid”. As I said Jimmie’s got Two Rings.

Michael Dewayne Ford, Gone But Will Never Be Forgotten By: Bettye “Katt” Williams ELITE nEWS STAFF WRITER

M

ichael Dewayne Ford 52 was born January 27, 1959, in Dallas, TX. He was a second generation owner of Golden Gate Funeral Home; he passed away november 22, 2011.

Michael Dewayne Ford was a graduate of David W. Carter High School, Class of 1977.

After graduation Michael joined the United States navy. He was one of the second generation owners of Golden Gate Funeral Home, working alongside his dad, John Beckwith Sr., and family. He was manager of the Lancaster and St. Mary locations. He was most passionate about the fleet of cars.

Mr. Ford’s wake was held on Monday, november 28th, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. His funeral was Tuesday, november 29, at 11:00 a.m. Both services were held at Mt. Rose Church, 7151 Field View Lane, Dallas, TX. He is preceded in death by his mother, Allene Beckwith; grandparents, Allen Zachery, Bessie Overton, Johnnie Ford, Gladys Braggs, Eddie Beckwith Sr. and Charlotte Bethely-Moore.

He met and married his high school sweetheart, Cynthia Woodard, and to this union two children were born. He later met and married

Etta Campbell.

Mr. Ford leaves to cherish his loving memories: wife, Etta Ford; children, Detra FordJohnson, Michelle Ford-Vickers (Ken), Taylor Ford, Jordan Ford and Meagan Ford; father, Jimmie Ford; dad, John Beckwith Sr.; grandchildren, Damontre, Darielle, Madison, Dariel and Reiss; siblings, Carolyn Haynes (Kevin), Gerald Ford (Twyla), Debra Blackwell (Robert), Charlotte Beckwith, Tonya Ford, John Beckwith Jr. and Kimberly Blackmon (Craig); grandmother, Atchra Beckwith; aunts, Estella Jones, Betty Dickerson (Frank), Dexter Curlin (Donald), Wilma Beckwith Wilson (William) and Gladys Beckwith Williams (Darnell); uncles, C. J. Ford, Eddie Beckwith Jr. (Mary) and James Bethely (Rosetta); several nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, cousins, Golden Gate family and friends.

John Beckwith, Jr. presented a special Tribute to Michael; “I Am Going to Miss You" It was you that taught me men don't cry. It was you that took me out and taught me what a ten and out was. It was you that turned me loose to drive at 12 years old in Long Beach, California; dropping you off at the ship and Cynthia watching me pass right by the house.

I never had a birthday party as an adult, but 2

weeks ago you and Mr. Blair made sure I did.

I am going to miss how competitive you were; if it was Dominoes, or just talking noise, you wanted the last word. You would beat me to work every day and would sit in the office and tell me what everybody was doing wrong. You would say “It’s official" and you would sit on the front row of every staff meeting. Two weeks ago, you told me you were going to join my church and I reminded you that's your calling not mine.

— John Beckwith Jr. He was Special and will be missed dearly, said Mr. William Blair and the Elite news Staff.

Remembering Almer C. Peterson December 22, 1918 - November 24, 2011 Dallas, Texas under the leadership of the late Rev. Fred W. Grant. He was an active leader in the church, the Greater South Dallas District, and the north Texas Conference. He held many elected and appointed positions at each level of these organizations. He served as a Steward Pro Tem under three pastoral administrations, but lastly under Rev. E. L. Wright II. He was later named Steward Emeritus in 1997.

Mr. Almer Charles (A.C.) Peterson, the son of the late Delmer and Clara Peterson, was born on December 22, 1918 near Henderson, Texas. He was the fourth of six children born to this union. A.C. served in the United States Army and participated in World War II from 1942 to 1945. Upon his return, he married the late Ruby S. Ferguson on December 22, 1945.

To their union was born three sons – Jerry, Charles, and Roderic. Mr. Peterson was last employed by Dallas Independent School District where he retired at the age of 80 after nearly 30 years of service.

Brother Peterson had a great love for God, his family, and his church. His devotional leadership was admired by many.

God blessed A.C. to be with us for 92 years and 11 months. He leaves to mourn: his eldest sister, Johnnie Mae Roberson of Houston, Texas, three sons—Jerry (Rosalind) Peterson of Biloxi, Mississippi; Charles (Janice) Peterson of DeSoto, Texas; Roderic (Regina) Peterson of Dallas, Texas and a dear friend, Ethel Wesson. “Paw-paw” leaves eight grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild, Mya Jade. He leaves a host of nieces and nephews who lovingly called him “Uncle Red” and numerous friends and relatives.

A.C. accepted Christ at an early age. In 1947 he joined St. Paul A.M.E. Church in
