ok. thanks : D

PTL!

what does PTL mean?

You

wow....

what an amazing week... everyday is a day of our King =)

since we prayed on sunday i have just been thinking- readin the word, praying, and thinking.

WHAT DO WE HAVE- WHAT IS THERE THAT WE CAN OFFER TO GOD

And, what we has is whst Jesus had.

Jesus gave His life for us, although he went further than we could, when you think about it. What Jesus gave is what we have to offer to our king.

As I thought about this, as I prayed about this God spoke to me through a song.

"two hands one heart"

Through this song, they sing

"What do I have to offer, what do I have to give. Two hands one heart"

there is more to this line, but these words speak truth. amazing truth.

God sent Jesus to give His life for us, but not only for us. Jesus died for His father aswell. That His father could have a relationship with us, a realtion ship with forgivness.

This too is what we have. We have a life to offer, we have two hands and one heart. And this is what pleases our king. this is what makes us worthy in the lord.

I dont know about you. But this has brought so much excitment to my heart. and I know i still have much to learn, and I am still growing, I believe that this truth has provided me with a real stepping stone in the Lord

im excited for you both. been a blessing sharing this count down with you brother. God will bless you both as you reunite *hugs*

Isaiah that is really good. God is really using you to spread the Gospel. Never let His words just pass by, always hold them, because he will reveal how He wants you to share it and bring people to the cross of salvation

I would just like to know how many brothers and sisters who have posted on this topic have spoken in tongues?

Sunnier, I speak in tounges daily, this is how I grow stronger i the Lord, having His spirit talk through me and dwell inside of me allows me to reciee revelation of his greatness

Bless you

Wow, reading through alot of post here I see that there is a great concern in the teaching of tounges, not to sound rude, but how many people have experienced this gift?

I come from a Pentecostal church, and the teaching of this gift is big, and most people in my church speak in tounges, every week at church, God leads us into this times of praise and worship.

When I was first baptised with the spirit, speaking in this holy language was scary, I kept asking myself "am I doing it write, amd I speaking the words correctly", but then I realised that each individaul has their own language, becase the english dictionary will run out of words to pray, but Gods dictionary, which is what tounges is about, wll never run out of words, and although You dont understand what You are saying God does, and seaking in tounges is about deep prayer with The Lord, He already knows your heart and knows you situation, speaking in tounges, well... let me say just one more thing, if your heart ints fully committed to God, then, yes your spirit is unffruitful, t if your heart is, your spirit is fruitful, because this language only comes through the fruitfulness of his spirit

Blessings

Holy Lord,

I stand before you now with a heart of thanksgiving, and with a hunger and a thirst for your truth, for your spirit.

I wait before you now, I wait with an open heart and open arms, Lord I stretch my arms wide Lord, Father, I pray that you would speak to us Lord, each of us, mighty God, as a family Lord. Father, let your will be done through us. Father, right here right now, I stand firm and I stand bold, and I declare the truth of Your word over this world. Jesuse, I pray your truth over all the lost and all the broken hearted, In Jesus name I declare Salvation, and I declare true teachings, no longer will there be false teachings, instead all will know the living truth of our Saviour, father, king, the living truth of the spirit that dwells in our hearts today.

May your holy ways be lied out by us here on earth Lord, I pray that everyday Lord, we would walk in your ways Like children walk in the ways of their parents, because Lord, we are children of you, and we follow you like we fllow our mums and dads, we look up to you Lord and say to ourseles "I ant to be like my Daddy when I grow up", because God, as children following our Daddys footsteps, we look upon your remarkable moves in the bible, and hope to one day live like you. Although we are so not perfect Christ, we can still live by your ways, and live by you will and wants for each of our lives.

I pray for the saved, Lord, the children that have entered your kingdom lord, but are hurting, and in pain. Jesus I ask that you would be with them, Lord, you would comfort them, and father they would know your graceful love, and your joy and peace in their lives, Daddy, we live for you and for you alone, we stand before you and we sing to your praises from our heart, I speak forth your word in only a language you know and understand Lord, and this comes from Your sprirt alive in me today.

Father, I thankyou, I thankyou, I thankyou, for the people you have given me, the family you have given me, the friends you have given me, and I ask that I can be a blessing to them Lord, and I can shine Your truth in everything I do, that I may be a light that shines heaven Lord God.

We love you father, and we give all glory to you.

I pray the blood of the lamb over the lost, hurt, broken and destroyed, that Satan will know your spirit in the hearts, that the can speak bodly their love for you, that Satan would back away and leave them, I rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke him, Satan you have no right, Satan LEAVE, Leave and do not return

I ask and stand firm in the mighty name of Christ

Amen

lift you up in prayer to our Saviour now.

Father be wit her, comfort her, let your grace be with her now. Father God, me her heart hunger for you and your living spirit dwell in her in her time of need God

oppps- I think my finger slipped Isaiah

I vote for ME!

It was a hard decision Isaiah

"Father, I know that we have all broken your laws and out sins have separated uz from you. Lord I pray that the losr would turn away from their past sinful life toward you. That they would seek your forgivness Lord, and your help to avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for our sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I ask Jesus to become the Lord of theur life, to rule and reign in their hearts from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me lead them to you Father, and to do Your will. Lord, m heart aches for them, and your word says that your heart aches for them aswell Lord. Father, my spirit cries when I see helpless men fighting a abttle they know little about, my spirit cries seeing the lost hurt by Satans attacks, and my spirit cries for them to know your love and your grace. father, use me, use my Lord God. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."

thanks all. I dont think they will get physical, not until they get married if they get married :-S

I have a really good friend that is going out with a boy three years younger than he. She is 18....

She loves God and lives everyday by the bible, and tries to be a good example of Jesus. The boy she is going out with, he also loves God, and lives for God. His dad is a minister.

Is it wrong? This boy is the same age as her little brother.

I dont know. I dont know if I should say anything

i know of some people that do a simialr thing near my home town- less than an hour away. once a week the meet in the town park and preach the word of God to each other, with worship music and prayer, singing and praying in the spirit. these people are a little older, the youngest is 14 the oldest is 19. Still so young in Christ, and they still do it, praying for their town, and praying for the hurt in their town.

They started this up alone, no adults to lead or guide them, jut prayer from a local church, and they have been doing this for a year now, and have chnaged the lives of so many people, bringing more and more lives to the Lord- its is an amzaing thing.

As a 16 year old, I think that prayer and your open heart is what they need. I wouldnt go in and interfere, if you see or hear something wrong, yes, then you go and see whats happening, and lead them back on track. but once their on track again, let them be. LET THE SPIRIT LEAD YOU AS THE SPIRIT IS LEADING THEM

im praying for you and this group of kids

Wow Bell..this one comes from deep inside.....almost a groan.

Yeah it does, it seems to be the only way I can express my anger, and self hate at the moment.

I'll try and keep these ones to myself ay?!

Not at all.

Cry out to God....He loves you even when you don't love yourself.

Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

Rom 8:39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

yeah, but does he love me, when I dont know if I love him?

Yes,He still loves you.

Rom 5:6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Rom 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.

Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

What is wrong Bell....are your friends questioning your faith?

Hmmmk

Ill PM you

I gave my trust- a man to die

He rose again to reign

For God said he'd multiply

Where His flock would be born again

I gave my trust- His blood for my soul?

I gave trust that His blood could save?

His name could make me hole?

I gave trust, I was saved from the grave?

Now I dont know His lovin care

I am all of shame

I though His love was there to share

If so, why do I feel so lame?

No trust is that, that Jesus bought

Cant save this wretch from hell

What is salvations true report?

If your my saviour please tell...

Is the devil out to harm?

Is Satan out to kill?

Can I trust the Lords mighty arm"?

Can I trust the bibles will?

I lost trust of my life to "Christ The Lord"

Lost in Heavens Door

What is trust in Gods "Almighty Sword"?

I'm lost forever more

Hmmm, now Im worried im on your ignore list

Abba Father, I lift your name on high, I bow before you in worship, and in awe of you.

Lord, You are my strenght, my hope, and my light, Lord, You alone are my foundation and my being.

At the cross I was made worthy and my heart pure by the blood of Christ Jesus that was shed.

I give all glory and praise to you alone Lord God, and I lift up to you the worrys and doubts that people are feeling here on Worthy Lord, and I pray that your spirit would bring peace and hope to their lives Father God.

All You are Lord I grasp and all I am I give to You that Your will would be done through me Father.

In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen

Hi,

I feel rather uncomfortable doing this and I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'll give it a go.

I'm a Christian and I suffer from severe and chronic depression. I moved to Switzerland (from the UK) a year ago and I have been hospitalised twice in a psychiatric hospital since I have been here, once for 3 months and I've just come out after another month long stay. Both times I was hospitalised because I wanted to commit suicide. The last time, I had got as far as going online and finding out what would happen if I took an overdose of my medications (the answer - pretty lethal), and I was sitting there contemplating it when something inside me said 'This is wrong, you can't do this, ring your psychiatrist now.' So I did, and she arranged my admission etc. But some days I wish I hadn't rung her.

I know that suicide is wrong and is a sin but I just can't seem to stop getting these desires. And I have all these questions no-one can answer, like 'What happens when a Christian commits suicide? What will God say? And sometimes I think 'Well if I can't lose my salvation then why not just do it and then I will be in paradise and all this unbearable pain will have gone away.'

It's hard to know who to turn to for help. I have had to stop talking to my parents about it because they can't cope with the thought of me wanting to die and it's not fair on them to go on talking about it. My church here is very small and although everyone has been very welcoming to me and very supportive (especially when I was in hospital last winter) I don't really feel there is anyone else I can talk to there, especially as this time when I was hospitalised my parents told everyone I had wanted to take an overdose (the last time they didn't say why I had been hospitalised) and I feel like they are treating me differently and judging me. Like people who came to see me when I was in hospital the first time didn't come and see me the second time... And I'm still getting to know them (I also have social anxiety disorder and avoidant personality disorder so I find it really hard to trust people and let them in).

I asked my dad to get me some Christian books on suicide and self harm (something else I think about a lot but I've never really done anything), and he did. But they were awful - so judgemental and 'Suicide is a product of sinful thinking and you need to sort out your wrong thinking...' not loving or really understanding what it feels like to be so low and so trapped and so desperate to get away from it all and just get to heaven where finally you will fit in that you want to die.

So anyway, my psychiatrist (who is not a believer) advised me to try and find some Christians online who might be able to help me - people who had been through something similar themselves and might be able to empathise with me. Also she knows I find it easier to communicate online than face to face.

So is there anyone out there who can help me, and might be willing to talk with me via PMs?

I hope I haven't caused offence or upset anyone. If this isn't the right place for me to get the kind of help I need does anyone know of some place that can help me?

I have been excatly where you are, I have done self harm, and I have nearly committed suicide, I never went to a hospital, but was seeing a councellor at least twice a week, if not more.

I felt I was being judged and treated differently, but that was not the case.

I dont want to go into depth here in the open, but it looks as though you do not have enough posts for your PM to work

When you build up your posts send me a message, I really want to talk and pray with you about this one.
