Worthy Christian Forums -> Absolutely Positive!

This might sound a little strange, but I feel convicted to pray for people at the moment. God has not said anything to me, but I just feel like I need to be praying for people.
Strange......
But I guess it's ok, nothing wierd, just feel like praying for people. No one in particular, just, well, people in general.....

Feed my need

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I'm going to do my best to get my thoughts out here concerning courage, love, and Jesus. I figured that this was the best place to post this, as I was "lifted" today in my spirit reading about the above mentioned courage, love, and Jesus. And I certainly would love to hear any replies of your own spirit being lifted up.

The past weekend was a bit rough. It wasn't me that was able to get through this, only God and His loving grace and mercy brought me through. Having thought of the "experience" this weekend, I saw one thing that was happening with me. Fear. So today I thought, ok, I will read and study a bit about courage. One thing that I realize now, is that it does take courage to be a "Christian."

Knowing that Jesus is my example, I thought of His last night with His disciples. How hard it must of been to be betrayed by one who had been with Him the past few years. Knowing full well what was to come that night, His courage and love for His disciples is something I wanted to read also. And the first thing I saw, was after Judas left, His first command to those He loved sitting around the table, and also to me, let me post the verses...

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34 & 35

When I read this, I thought, my idea of "love" was not the same kind that He is commanding His disciples to do. And that goes directly back to those fears that came up this weekend. How do I love my brothers and sisters? Like how Jesus loves me? To have this courage to love another in my family(God's family)...that's what I'm getting at. Too often I only look at how my own relationship with God is going...and overlook others. That isn't love as far as I can tell. It's like now, I want to know God, but I'm hearing...hey, take a look around you. Do you love my children? When I think of this my mind goes to Matthew 25, the sheep and the goats...all I know is that I've been and still am on the receiving end of having my brothers and sisters give me a drink, a shirt, a room, something to eat, been looked after while sick, and yes, visited me in prison. And I think, yeahh, this is what Jesus talked about that night. Loving one another, the result being that all men would see that we are His disciples. I ask God to teach me how to love my brothers and sisters today. I know this won't happen overnight. Those steps on the stairs, I often times stumble on them. One thing different though, I'm getting back up. The courage and faith to get up and keep going, becasue of His grace and love for me.

I'll finish this with two verses I read earlier.

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13 & 14.

God bless yall. Thank you for allowing me to share this with yall.

I want to ask the lady in my garmin nuvi to be my valentine.But she keeps telling me to go somewhere

I just wanted to share this with all of you in hopes that it may bless your day and help you in your endeavor to honor God with your lives. Bear with me as I share this unorthodox way God shared His truth with me.

It was during the early, quiet hours of a cold January morning, and as I was having my quiet time with God, my dog decided to stretch out on the big pillow beside my recliner and join me. How God chose to use my dog to teach me is amazing and wonderful! All praise to God the Father!

Here's what happened-

I was reading in Hebrews 11 about the faith of Moses and how, "By faith, Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible." Hebrews 11:23-27 ESV

I asked God to show me His truth in a real and personal way. That's when Ranger (my dog) made his way over and lay down beside me.

I thought about the last time he and I went out for a walk. There was still snow on the ground, and as we were walking up the hill, he slid down and got tangled up in his leash. Ordinarily, I can untangle him without taking off his leash, but this time I had to take it off so as not to hurt him. As soon as Ranger heard the "click" of the fastener, he bolted, thinking that I was letting him run around. I was not. It was kind of cool to see him so happy running around, but I knew how dangerous it would be if he ran to the road. I called to him, "Ranger- come back, come here, buddy!" He still kept running. So I called louder, "Ranger, come here. Now!" He knew he was in trouble and came back, head down, sulking. I scolded him and put his leash back on, continuing on our walk.

This is the lesson I learned- Although Ranger would rather listen to his instincts and do what makes him happy, he came back to his master, knowing that I take care of him. He gave up the pleasures of obeying his nature and would rather "suffer" the confines of a warm pillow in a warm apartment with plenty of food, water, and love. He obeys the call of someone higher than he and who has his best interest and safety in mind. So it is with with my obedience to God. I would rather listen to my sinful nature and do what is pleasing to my flesh, choosing the treasure of this temporary Egypt rather than obey the Lord Jesus. I would rather enjoy "fleeting pleasures" than to humble myself and look to the reward. However, I must submit to Him daily, and choose to follow His commandments. The Lord is higher than I, and has my best interest, safety, and eternal destination in mind.

Just as Moses, by faith, obeyed God and forsook the "fleeting pleasures of sin", so I must refuse to be called a child of this world and instead be conformed to Christ.

My friends- my brothers and sisters- consider the faith of Moses and choose this day to refuse to be conformed to this world. Look to the reward. I once heard a preacher say, "God matters and people matter because everyone will spend eternity somewhere. Stuff is just stuff- one day it will burn. Focus on the Truth." (I think it was Greg Mazak.)

My prayer for you is that you will seek Christ first in all that you do, and that our Father will glorify His holy name in your lives.

I love you all!


Your brother in Christ,

I was taught a long time ago that the power of prayer is such a beautiful thing! I have grown to love prayer so much.


Today, I was sitting here thinking:


I feel so lousy and sick one moment. Then, all of a sudden I feel better without explanation.


I wonder with complete joy in my heart, I'll bet you someone just prayed for me.


Heavenly Father, I thank you for my Family who is always there for me without fail and who prays for me the moment I request. I ask that you bless them all and their families over and over and over again for blessing me in prayer infinitely. I ask that you bless them again and again for blessing others in prayer without growing tired. In Jesus's name, Amen and Amen.

Just thought you guys would like to know that Fez and South have set the 12th June, in South Africa, as their wedding date.

It was supposed to be the 5th June but there is a church leaders conference that weekend, which we will be attending, and we did say, in this marriage, God first.

Sometimes when i get confused
i wake at night my mind a muse.
Around the corners thoughts peek
to find the answer i seek.

But then alas the answer hides
and it knots up my insides.
Thoughts twisting somethings wrong.
Gut and mind aint getting along.

Confused,confounded,crystal unclear,
i have no guess,no sight,no idea.
My mind won't rest,so on this day
i let it go and walk away.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY......

Can take me away,
From my guy.

I can't be torn apart from my guy.
Nothing you could do,
Could make me be untrue,
To my guy.

My word of honour,
To be faithful,

My opinion is,
He's the cream of the crop,
As a matter of taste,
To be exact,
He's my ideal,
As a matter of fact.
No muscle bound man,
Could take my hand,
From my guy.

No handsome face,
Could ever take the place,
Of my guy,

Who can take me away,
From my guy.

Could take my hand,
From my guy.

Luk 7:36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
Luk 7:37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
Luk 7:38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Luk 7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
Luk 7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
Luk 7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
Luk 7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
Luk 7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
Luk 7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
Luk 7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
Luk 7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Luk 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
Luk 7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
Luk 7:49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
Luk 7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.


Thank-you Jesus for forgiving me,i am humbled at your feet.

Jesus is! (add comment below..)
