As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. Proverbs 26:2 Every individual needs to declare this passage and claim who they are in Christs power. PSALM 91 God bless and protect you all. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you will prosper. | Lord, you are the God of the valleys cast out every valley spirit in the name of Jesus and send them to the foot of the cross for you to deal with on the day of judgement. We take the shield of faith and we quench every fiery dart of the enemy in Jesus name Eph 6:16

yes, its amazing the ministry I do from my facebook alone. Sadly I do have to keep the funny worldly posts going so they will read the Lord posts. probably 95% of my friends dont know the Lord and have misconceptions about the Bible. (ignorance) They embrace new age easily but when I post biblical they revolt. Very interesting and I tend to take them to task on it. ie: WHAT on earth is wrong with the words "the Lord is close to the broken hearted?". many heated (on their part) discussions take place but guided by the Holy Spirit there IS softening of hearts. Note: I've found that the ones who attack the Lord most tend to be the ones he's working on! My greatest fear is causing another to stumble in their faith. My second greatest fear is my boys would walk away from God or partake in drugs. FEAR IS NOT OF THE LORD!!! I keep telling myself, however fear creeps in anyhow :/

Fireheart, If you have a problem with "Joes words" I suggest you take it up with the author. He didnt even say who he was directing his posting of this scripture to so perhaps the Holy Spirit is ministering to you.

I'll pray for you Hall7. I didnt like myself much for a long time. There is NO condemnation in Christ Jesus mind you. I found my relationship with myself changed when I forgave my childhood offender. In that, the condemnation that the evil one would throw at me I'd rebuke and say GET behind me satan in Jesus name. Please I want you to do two things. 1. first thing every morning pray & wash your spirit with even just one passage wherever the Lord leads you. 2. Pray to be able to forgive those who offended you and MOST IMPORTANTLY yourself. Its easy to receive Gods forgiveness & harder to forgive oneself. It was a stumbling block for me, focusing on my sin I had no consideration of my neighbor. When I stopped focusing on my sin and started praying to know Gods will, suddenly loving my neighbour became easy. Plus God always has a plan. In our loving of them even the ones in addiction. they see the love. I've never spoken to you before so know nothing about you or your situation. I have the sense though that forgiveness is at the root of your self image problem. Once you forgive you then you can step out in prayerful servitude. Bless your heart! Please let me know if what I sense is correct nice to meet you, you are going to be just fine!

I've always thought he was writing the various sins. I've heard it preached that he was writing their names. I am more inclined to think he was writing things such as "covet, lie, steal,..." As these words would have imprinted on the hearts of the accusers becoming the accused.

Awesome!! Thanks for the share, I'd never heard this. Is perfect for my friend who's daughter has been missing for 17 months. Please say a little prayer for Madison scott. She went missing while camping her truck, purse & tent remained. There was a party at the site the night she went missing. Thanks guys, we try to have hope but after 17 months it begins to fade.

My dad says cracklings lower the cholesterol ... after all, he got a large tub from warman saskatchewan and he went for his first followup appointment after his new cholesterol med's and his cholesterol is "PERFECT". must be them cracklins. lol This is the guy who's decided he's gonna be catholic cause them guys are the only ones who have purgatory and he wants to drink beer, smoke cigarettes & play cards with my cousin Hank in purgatory... Wonder if theres pork in purgatory? Suppose if there is that would be my dads version of heaven & therefore purgatory does not exist.

Shoudnt that read, hi eh.. ? holds up a tim hortons for cheers. I'm north central BC

My son had a bully at school and very few friends. He brought his bible to school one day. On the way to the bus I was concerned well, just because this would put a bigger target on him. I asked him are you SURE you want to bring your Bible (not voicing my concern). He said yes, if Jesus is my only friend I'm bringing him to school! No one said a word about his bible except 2 children who came & asked questions at lunch. Praise the Lord!! We need to start praying for our schools as well. The board can remove faith but wherever my son goes Jesus is also and the same can be said about any believing teacher or student in the system. It wont be long before they require him to leave the book at home. Up side is the bully was removed from our school & a year after, the rest of the kids finally settled into not making my son the target.

my husband and I ride motorcycles. When people ask me where I have a tattoo (they just assume I do) I just say I like to express my individuality by not having a tattoo. We stand out without them lol! I've come to notice that EVERYONE and their dog have tattoo's. I may not tattoo my dog either

Our Prime Minister is Christian but unfortunately that doesnt mean he controls all things. Our society is rapidly becoming a new age based (people want to worship themselves or things) or faithless but our Prime Minister bless's Israel. Because he bless's Israel God bless's us.

OK, I will cut and paste a moral question from another forum. If objective moral values existed, we should all agree on the answer to the following question. If we do not all agree, then it is questionable whether objective moral values actually exist, and if they do, who decides? - A is a very good person. She helped the poor all her life and she has always been devoted to reduce sufferance in this world. She considers herself a good Christian and tries to apply Jesus message in everything she does. But she does not believe in a literal Adam and Eve. She dies very young with this (dis)belief by trying to save a drowning child. - B was a war criminal. She is responsible for the death and misery of millions of people. Just before dying she accepts Jesus and a literal interpretation of Genesis with all her heart. She dies in her nineties in her comfortable bed with this newly acquired faith. . According to your allegedly objective morality, who should be saved (eternity of bliss and happiness) and who should be condemned (eternity under infinite torment) ? Both are saved, neither condemned. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus regardless of our individual knowledge or interpretation of scripture. When I came face to face with the righteousness of God I fully understood that though I considered myself to be basically a good person... In the eyes of a Holy & just God I was black with sin. I was washed of that in an instant. I'm just as saved 20 years later & not perfect in scripture interpretation as I was the minute God gave me his grace & mercy.

If its contrary to scripture I throw it in the trash. With that being said I'm fairly certain the Lord didnt depart from me in the beginning of Sept as I lost a friend in a tragic rapid way & believe me HE was present in the service where I was called to jump in and be pastor though I am in no way qualified for my unbelieving friends from back in the day. I prayed for each individual that the spirit of the Lord would rest upon their grieving souls and that they would hear truth in Gods scripture and the scales would be removed. I was actually upset at the response afterwards because everyone was attributing how they felt to ME instead of God. So yup, maybe God left ya'all cause he knew there was a funeral full of bikers in northern BC who needed his undivided attention. He left the 99 to get the 1 ... EH?

Many threads that start the way yours did are of those wanting to justify where they are and not actually listen to effect change. I'm so impressed that you wanted opinions to actually consider them. When I prayed about what church to go to I prayed that my husband would feel like he's sitting on the couch when we entered therein if it was the place for us. (he's a big biker guy so thats a tall order ... not too tall for our Lord, we are Loving our church! Bless your heart and God bless you as he leads you to the place of fellowship that HE approves and where His Holy Spirit is happy.

2 Timothy 2 15 Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth. NASV 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. NIV I know they feel the KJV to be without err... It can be misinterpreted though given todays use of the english language. I always pray for discernment & then consult multiple translations in the review of an idea that seems contrary to God and the Word of God. by dividing scripture they are actually contradicting this very scripture by incorrectly handling the word of truth. Ironic I find it! Bless your heart and pray for discernment & I'm certain the Lord will provide.

Amen thank you

Theres no such thing as sin anymore. The world doesnt repent and turn to God because its not sin, its lifestyle choice.

Actually I believe this is scriptural...... Luke 6:1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. And of course corn syrup is used with the chocolate to help in bunny formation. Definitely scriptural. scriptural and sculptural.

I"mmmmm meeeeeelting...

Bless your heart Erin I'm so happy for you. For me the first decade of my salvation I didnt seek Gods will and I didnt know how to be a Christian. I too was surrounded but unbelivers. I was ashamed of my faith though I would never admit it, worried they'd think i was nuts. (many of our friends are bikers, for sure they'd think i'm nuts lol!) turns out they think I'm a little nuts but I dont care anymore, when their chips are down they call me & praise the Lord thats what its all about! I grew in my faith slowly. I would sin and then feel too ashamed to pray for days. Satan loves that!!! When you sin, immediately talk to the Lord and let him know your regret. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. This means pray daily and read Gods word, washing your spirit with even just one passage, you'll be shocked at where that leads you and its relevance to exactly what you are going through. In prayer LISTEN. If scripture comes to your mind, look it up. Dont worry about praying in the right way (I would pray cause I didnt know how) Just talk to God. You are right, the Lord does have great purpose for you and I'm excited for what He has in store for you and hope you remain friends on here so we can see how this develops. Now as far as your husband goes. Unfortunately its most difficult to minister truth to those closest to us (I have issues with my brothers and dad) The thing is, its not our job to convert them. We are changed by the holy spirit within as we draw nearer to the Lord his light shines through us and they cant help but notice that. Pray for God to send people into their lives who would impact them in Christ and that Gods love in you would minister truth and soften their hearts to the Lord.

Bless your heart cool universe!

I was led to read Romans 14: 1-13 today and in prayer and reflection was considering this passage. For you got me thinking... I know the Lord will say "I never knew you" to some. In reading this passage I got thinking about how we are not to judge the faith of one who is but a babe in Christ. I was thinking about the effects of such righteous judgement upon one who goes to praise our glorious Lord but twice/year. For they are praising the Lord, for they do know the redemption that is in Christ Jesus but they only cheat themselves out of relationship with others and the Lord by not assembling regularily. If we stand in Judgement of them, they know that. They can sence those judging eyes (which are not from the Lord who loves them) when they see those judging eyes at church they have no desire to go back & thus separates them further from the Lord. I think that we are all parts of the body of Christ once we are in Christ. There are those, probably like you who are called to convict others of their err in their walk. This is a tough place to be in the body of Christ (much easier to be one called to edify thats for sure!) The thing is I think that this calling to convict others of righteousness should be done prayerfully and cautiously when dealing with one early in their walk. They should be validated where they are doing it right & gently encouraged to grow in Gods word. As they spend time in Gods word they will see passages about the gathering together and the Holy Spirit WILL minister truth to this. I know this was true for me. I stayed away from church for the longest time because I kept hearing how corrupt the church is and all that jazz. A truly wrong way to look upon my fellowship for sure. I thank God for my church now, been going for 15 months when we can (we live 45 minutes from town in the north so many sundays its not a good idea to be on the road) When you think that placing yourself within a building weekly makes you somehow more approved then another in Christ you err. When you sit in righteous judgement of the faith of another without having walked in their shoes you err. I want you to sit and take a good hard look at yourself and decide to love these annual church attenders as Christ loves you. For there is nothing we could ever do on this earth to earn the grace and mercy given upon that cross. You didnt earn it, they didnt earn it... (it may make you indignant that they choose to walk the way they do, this is not your concern its between them and the Lord) As for me, I didnt grow in my faith because I was surrounded by unbelievers and really didnt know how. I was not mentored or followed up on after I received the Lord. slowly though our present Lord got through the barrier of pride and fear and I praise him for that but would never judge another who is not "there" yet. I pity them a little though cause there is NOTHING like having relationship with CHrist and KNOWING him present! Bless your heart!
