NeedYouLord

Much love, In my humble opinion and experience...I truly believe Jesus would pray to The Father Which Church To Go To...(notwithstanding the fact that there really is Only One True Church) and He would be unbelievably recieved and then possibly rejected (perhaps people would think that His Healing Power is from the devil-why the devil would heal is beyond me-but anyway). I truly believe He would without a shadow of doubt speak Truth...and probably have to say it in parables so that the lessons etc. would be understood...I truly believe the dilemma of mankind is still the same...the lack of a born again spirit...and Knowing The One True God and Christ Whom He Sent...John 17:3...Jesus!!! I Love and NeedYou...

Big Hugs!!!

Much love, Lord God of Heaven and Earth...I pray...Indwell Your Children Mightily For Your Glory...In The Name of Jesus...

You are so welcome...Big Hugs!!!

Much love to you...I was and still am a "good person"...That's just it-a person...I used to think being "a good person" would get me to Heaven-but at that time there was still Something (Someone) missing in my life...My my...was my thinking wrong...More than anything...now...There are no masks...there is no pretending anymore...when I was born again-I was changed-alot...and now there is alots of Truth that has come to me and is in me...I'm so real it hurts sometimes...just bare bones and simple...nothing is hidden anymore...That is free-ing!!! Whew...Jesus-You did it!!! Yeah!!!

Gamnot,

Glory to God!!! Father...I pray enlighten Your Word, more and more, to us Your children...In The Name of Jesus... Welcome, Angie...

Much love to you, gamnot...It is amazing to me how I believe the impossible is possible...How I believe, if for instance, we have something similar of the relationship that some in the Bible had with God...I just believe we can be healed...Wasn't it Moses? He had no pains wasn't even limping or anything-and how was he? Whew-old...I don't believe God is any respecter of persons...I do believe our relationship can be such that whatever we ask in His Name we receive...I just believe that...I'll pray...and believe with you that you recieve what we ask Him for...He loves you so much that He wants to heal you...that's what I believe... The Greatest Love ever known to mankind...Father...Because of Your Great Love for gamnot...I'm asking...Seeking Your Touch Your Anointed Healing for his body...for his joints...for him to move about and do things for Your Good Pleasure...Cover him with Your Love and Heal his body I Pray In The Name Above Every Name...Jesus Christ of Nazareth...Our Savior, Lord and King!!! Love you In Him...NeedYouLord

Yeah...I love this addiction to the message boards...and Jesus... I don't think my addiction ever got that bad to the point of obsessive, however I'm not fully healed yet. I guess you can say, I'm working through it. Their is a huge number of people in our world that have OCD.It just has not gotten so bad that it affects their life so they are not able to go on with their everyday activities.It is very,very common. Okay all. OCD is different from addictions. OCD tells you that you have to flip the light switch on and off 10 times or something bad will happen. I have OCD. In a weird sort of way. My glasses and cell phone have to be in the same spot every night on my nightstand. It just has to be that way. My cup at the dinner table has to go in the same spot above my plate. And other little weird things like that I do. LadyKay...You made me laugh so hard...(Keep in mind though I know how things can get with addiction-let's just say-it's not good-but I have to laugh sometimes-especially at myself-to keep from crying-and it's a real good medicine) but the reason I was laughing so hard last night when I read what you wrote..."If I don't put something in the same place every time...I can't find the thing!!!" Hahaha (but I sure don't want to invent another condition-Hahaha) Much love to you In The Name of Jesus!!! Whew He Saved us!!!

Oh my...Beautiful...

We have to always always remember that His ways are Higher than our ways...Much love to you In Jesus...

Much love to you, Everything in the Bible applies to what it applies to...literally......say The Jews Returning to Israel ...being gathered from other places all over the world (The Holy Spirit enlightened me that in that instance we as sinners are scattered in our sin all over the place...but that God can gather us all up...and return us to Him... The Bible is also alive!!! The day that verse entered my life and brought Light into the darkness...Well...It was a miracle...I can take any verse and when enlightened by The Holy Spirit and my permission to be led and guided into all Truth...He can show me several different meanings... I can see what Moses did and how he was brought up as the two in us...Flesh and Spirit at war!!! Raised in Egypt (signifying sin-No-I'm just saying it's an analogy...I'm not saying anything about Egypt literally at the moment...Hahaha) but a Hebrew (God) on the inside...and Jesus bringing the two making one man...All I'm saying is that The Bible is Alive and The Holy Spirit does an amazing work on the inside of us...My my...Thank You Jesus...Please Lead and Guide us Into All Truth...In Your Holy Name, I pray...

I just want to cry and hug!!! I have done the same thing...Filled the garbage cans to the rim!!! The Church Dumpster-Like 5 big 33 gal. garbage bags of garbage in my house!!! My my...He has been working on and in you...and it's so good!!! You won't be disappointed in anything He does-that is when it's over...Hahaha...It's the getting through it...I'll help hold your hand if you want...pm me anytime...the main thing too...is to do something constructive as soon as that "want to" hits...I had to get my mind on something else...Much love to you...But some things look impossible until we walk in them...and come out the other side into The Promised Land...I know just an analogy but hey, sometimes I get to walk in Heaven right here on earth-in the here and right now...Nothing is impossible with God...Nothing Yeah, I saw that about the movies...Proud of you and praying!!! Much much love to you...In The Name of Jesus...

Hi and much love, I'm so grateful that I can choose different colors to wear...In the olden days when I was never content or at Peace...rather depressed I would say...I wore black alot...it's easy-it doesn't take much effort...Hardly ever now do I wear black...I was thinking about that the other day...What if I needed a black shirt? Hahaha...I would need to make me one...Love, NeedYou

me too, Willow...amazing how the bills can be paid now...I no longer run out of month before running out of money...Hahaha...And I even stopped smoking before the price went sky high!!! That is if everyone follows the plan we have enough month...Not laughing now...Yes I am... and I know definitely how hard it is to stop...I couldn't...I tried and I couldn't...but when the rubber hit the road and I really needed an answer to prayer...I went after Him (My Jesus) with everything in me-not playing-as if my life depended on it-and realized God needed a clean vesssel...cause He doesn't like to put new wine in an old wineskin... But really...why should I put off til tomorrow what I can do today...Today is the day of salvation and I truly believe that our salvation is being worked out by us individually as well as collectively...It's a personal relationship for sure...and when I give up and confess and ask forgiveness...He is Amazing!!! I have a perfect example of that now...Apparently my daughter has decided to be real lazy lately...oh my...and not obey very well...don't do that around me...Now you know why God chose me as your mother!!! Hahaha...I had to send her to her room! After a while I said you can come out now...She said, "Mama, do you know what I did?" I said, "No, what did you do?" She said, "Not only while I was in my room, being punished, I read my Bible and do you know what I read? Not only John, she said, but 1 John too!" I said, "You did!" She said, "Yes...and she said, "Mom, I'm sorry...I haven't been obedient and I want to be like Abel...making righteous decisions..." It's been hard today, folks... Oh dear...My dear friend, John...talked about Hannah...Oh Lord...You are so good...Wow is all I can say...There is Hope!!!

and does that addiction that I am depending on bring Life or Death? Or am I worshipping an idol? or possibly satisfying: one of the desires that are of this world? I am addicted to the One that brings Life! Bringing Peace and Contentment...Bringing me through every storm and every fire and I'm not blown away or burned! Whew... Walking out of the desires of this world (and out of The Law) into His Marvelous Light-Walking In The Spirit of God and Not My Flesh!...Fulfilling the 2 new commandments to the very best of the ability given to me by Him!!! Thank You Lord!!! You Are So Good!!!

Much Love to you and I agree...It's time to talk...Spill the beans...get cleaned out...if we hold on to the yuk and keep it in the dark...How in the world can The Light Come In and How can He put in the Go(o)d Stuff if the old stuff is still in there... I have been addicted so much so that I could not stop of my own will...29 years smoking...10 years of hard drinking...loved every minute of it (or so I thought) It is really wonderful having a renewed mind now...and it was miraculous the circumstances of my stopping smoking-as if I had never smoked...as if I had never had a cigarette in my mouth...It's even strange today typing that word...It's as if I had never even smoked...I have no desire to smoke...or any residuals...No desire to drink either...nothing...That's The Power of God!!! and God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit have taken First Place in my life...Whew...Oh Yes They Have!!!

Surprise!!! Because He Loves us...Hahaha

Much Love to Everybody...I Serve A Living God...Who Is The Same: Today, Yesterday and Forever...and is Eternal (Right Now-and five minutes from now-it's right now again, My my, Eternity is wonderfully cool) There have been many an unbeliever come to Know The One True God and The Christ Whom He Sent (John 17:3) ...by being healed...being healed first!!! Not even believing yet...Our God is so Good!!! And Brother Paul...I for one am glad He Saved you!!! This is the very best explanation I've ever heard and I am humbly asking permission to repeat it over and over as The Lord wills: (Of course, for me, this saying is for believers that believe-Oh that is so funny-I guess there are some believers that don't believe, my my...anyway) I love what you wrote!!! "We do not need to see miracles to believe but we who believe Him see miracles all around us"...Oh Yes We Do!!! and my experience is that it is involved with the most controversial and yet the only way we can successfully live this new life and do the things Jesus did: Baptism of The Holy Spirit...With His Gifts...So simple...With His Power dwelling in us...Simple but not easy...Calls for surrender...Forgiveness and Repentance...Standing Under The Cross and Watching Jesus Give up His Life For You and For me...His Word and His Shed Blood Washing me clean...Giving up "worldly desires" "desires of the flesh" and "the pride of life"...My my...Not easy...Even this can't be done except By The Power of God...This is why I Seek The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness... I suppose the best personal example of this: The reason I bring this up is because literally...in the same grocery store...I will admit I can't remember for sure if they both happened on the exact same day...but I do remember both incidences and they were in the same grocery store...God showed me the contrast in real time...Just as if I was with the Pharisees and Sadduces-on the one hand-and with Jesus, Himself, on the other...Let me explain: I had gone to the grocery store and there was a pain in my side...had been there a long time...and I was praying (yes for myself, as a believer (but in my walk and God showing me His Truth for my life-I can't heal myself by myself-I always have to ask for prayer from someone else) see I expect a miracle answer every time I pray...(Gift of faith)...but the problem is: not all believe... All of a sudden, at the potatoes, this nice older woman started telling me how sick her daughter was...wow...why me, hahaha...and I started talking about God...and how He heals...oh but, no, she said...she'll be healed when she goes to Heaven...I said to myself: Oh dear and maybe die-prematurely...I said: Well...With Prayer He can heal now...well she just couldn't accept that fact...and just like Jesus-I disappeared from her presence... Now this is the weird part...I was in pursuit of my healing, and just happened to be in the grocery store...and to me it's like God slowed down time...because it seemed like I had been in that store for 3 hours...and I kept forgetting something that was on the other aisle and so I would go back...and then I went down this other aisle like 3 times...and then back to the vegetables like 2 times...it was crazy...Crazy Good!!! Hahaha...So I said to myself...Well I have to get out of here...So down the last "freezer" aisle I go and I'm just leaning on my buggy...and someone comes up behind me and puts his hand over my eyes and says: "Guess Who?" I said Lonnie is that you? and his wife and son were with him...I started telling him about this pain and how I had been praying and hurting all day...and that I needed prayer...He said: "Well lets get to it..." and we did...right in the middle of the grocery store!!! On the freezer aisle...We joined hands and he began to pray...and my goodness: I was healed!!! No pain...I believe it to this day...God had me running around that store-waiting on Lonnie!!! My my... And so...It goes back to: How can I receive if I don't believe? I love ya'll so much...In Jesus...I know all the arguments...but to someone that has walked on both sides...can't convince me otherwise...I've laid hands on a little boy and prayed in Walmart that fell on his face right in front of me!!! And a good while later saw his mama still looking him over!!! If he had of been hurt and I was his mama I would have rushed to the hospital-immediately...but I choose to believe that My Lord and My God healed him-she heard me praying...apparently she was still trying to be convinced-what? there is no blood? Hahaha...Whew... I know it seems to many that I talk about "I" alot and to some how can you do that...In order to explain and testify-How do I not say "I"?...Then it would be someone else's relationship with God and someone else testifying of His Goodness!!! Nope...He saved me and I'm going to tell about it...Hahaha Rest assured though-We can go to The Secret Place...Kneeling At His Throne of Grace...Praying...Making petition and supplication...Seeing Jesus on every page of the Old Testament...An Amazing Walk (Journey) we have begun...and to think that it will never end...That's Amazing and Gives me Hope...Well, I love ya'll so much...again...Oh I get it...I've supposedly given up my life and it's just Jesus in me...Oh that's what it is...but the problem is: God created me...well ok...still falling short of perfection and still running the race...Hahaha He who says he abides In Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked...1 John 2:6

Much Love to you, Nitish, This describes exactly my day with my friend...an 87 year old Man of God...I cupped my ear and moved closer to him to hear his words of wisdom...Whew... Love you so much In Jesus...Kathy

Whew...Yes!!!

Amen! Its God's love that draws every believer, every part of the body as strange as each part seems, is drawn by that same unfathomable love Oh Yes...It was and is still-His Love That Draws me!!! Whew...I Love ya'll...In Jesus' Name...And In One Accord and One Mind Concerning His Love for us and Our Love for Him!!! My my...

Much love to you, Ms. LadyKay, I remember standing out in the dirt road beside our house (living with my mom) drunk as a skunk wondering why I was born...Life was yukky...and God never answered my prayers because (in my mind) He was too busy with others and really they needed Him alot more than I did...He was out there somewhere and besides how could He see everything I did? Hahaha...I had been told all my life that He could-but unfortunately was told not much else about Him at all...but really I guess there was an attempt at being taught to do right and to fear Him... Keep in mind though...there were times, my life was not taken, when it should have been...2 incidents of almost drowning come to mind immediately and driving while drunk in a blackout...I could have killed someone and myself...but without even knowing it...I truly believe God was with me...It's just my eyes were blind...my spirit had not been reborn either...so how in the world could I know He was real? I couldn't...and believe me, you are in good company, taking things way this way or way too much that way...I know how to do that too...Balance is a very important thing...We tip over if we don't have balance...Hahaha Today...I am in Awe of An Awesome God Who Is Real and Loves me and you and the whole world!!! He is My Redeemer, My Provider, My Healer...He is Everything and In Him Is Everything I need...He knows every need I have and supplies that need...I bow down and Worship Him...I pray to Him and He hears my prayers...I go to the secret place and He rewards me openly!!! I can be at my sewing machine (that changes I believe with what He wants me doing the most) and I'll hear a still small voice...(Today I can tell the difference between my own mind voice and His) I am at Peace no matter the circumstance...because circumstances change...and if I do get all aggravated about something-it isn't long before I know what I gotta do about it... How did I go from that to this? (What is this? Hahaha-In my opinion a relationship and knowledge of the Greatest Love ever known to mankind-A Peace That Passes All Understanding and so much more) Years of Seeking...Repenting-Surrendering-Crying-Spending time with Him...Giving up everything-to win...Desiring what He desires...But not at first-even that took a while for me...His Word is Alive...and becomes Real...and The Same Spirit That Raised Jesus from The Dead Lives in me...He lives in me...His Word changes me for the better and gives me New Life...Does it come fast? Sometimes some of it does...and then sometimes we get to learn things like patience, tolerance, long-suffering...beautiful and wonderful things that we need that we didn't have...Ok I'm just talking about myself on that one...Hahaha I'm not going to apologize for saying all of that to say this: One of the greatest things I've learned (and I'm not done learning) is the scriptures that "man" gave...God's Word is True...even the verse Romans 2:4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance...and even also this: Psalm 27:13-14 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, (which means: wait in faith) I say, on the Lord! And this that gave me such a good perspective about fear...When I am afraid of something-I run as fast as I can away from it...But to "fear" God is to run right into HIs Loving Arms...and never leave...Hahaha...Ok needing that balance again...Hahaha...Love to you forever and always!!!

Much love and not lust to ya'll, The only reason I'm alive today and have come to know The One True God that Created The Heavens and The Earth and The Christ Whom He Sent (John 17:3) is because I came to believe I had an addiction to drinking alcohol-among others-and if I didn't stop-I would die-either by driving in a blackout or whatever...and there were people there that had stopped...one day at a time...and the Way they stopped was because there is A Higher Power (God)...and I wanted what they had...They had stopped and were so content-and I didn't understand that...I'm alive and didn't die without God in my life because of having an addiction...I don't drink today... What happened in my life is that I went further...I wanted to know everything about God...Hence...I was led into Finding The God of The Bible In Whom I Totally Trust and Depend On...and am having quite a wonderful journey that is and will never be finished...I'm excited about that!!! Just wanted to put this out there too-Yes...I would venture to say now that possibly the sexual desire of the flesh (in lust form) is probably even stronger than smoking...and now I know why it is mentioned so much in The Bible...it causes problems as does any addiction... The enlightenment of the cause of my addictions just about bowled me over when God literally showed me The Truth...All of my addictions-not just one-Are The Result of The Desire of My Flesh...That is why today I desire above all-To Walk In Love and not Lust-To Walk In The Spirit and Not my Flesh...My Fleshly Desires Hinder My Walk With God In All Ways... Father, I ask that we be enlightened to Your Truth...Help us leave our fleshly desires behind and strive for what is ahead of us...Literally Walking Out of Our Fleshly Desires Into What You Would Have Us Do For You God On This Earth...Whew...My my...In The Name of Jesus...There is Power In His Name...Wow...I'm listening to Break Every Chain...
