Much love to you, Sitara...I am so glad you brought this up...I have been blessed beyond belief at everything that has been said...

Whew...God, You are so good-All the time!!!

Much love to you In Him,

So many times, too, we do not even know the exact moment we have what we have been seeking...God is Amazing...He takes our little humble hearts and changes them for the better...and then one day you look around and say...Wow, I haven't done that for awhile...or Oh, I understand that verse now...

I just have to tell you this: a testimony because its what happened to me...Jeremiah 29:11-13 is my life verse...The verses I hung onto when there was no hope for me...or at least I thought there wasn't any hope...

There have been many things I've learned and much understanding has come in my walk...but there is nothing just about that has affected me more than going to God and Seeking Him "With my Whole Heart" for someone else...and that was my dad...my real biological dad...I came to know Jesus after I was grown...I was 12 when he and my mom divorced over his adulterous affair...and I loved my daddy and missed him!!! All the time growing up...I loved and missed him...He was fun-but anyway...He didn't know Jesus...So here we are years later and my sister and he had been talking and my sister told him that he should call and ask me to pray...

So one day the phone rang and it was my daddy and he told me that he had been diagnosed with Alziehiemers and that he wanted me to pray for him...

It changed my life...I only thought I knew something...I didn't know anything...yet...

I went after The Healer...Jesus...Like never before...I wanted to know how He healed people...I wanted to know everything about Him...God would bring all kinds of anointed pastors into my path...anointed books...and He began to show me...and because I didn't give up...My "whole" heart was changed...I did everything led by God for my daddy to for sure be saved...I truly believe he was saved before he died...It was a long distance endeavor...

I truly believe that until I cared about someone else's condition more than my own and went after Seeking God for the solution and what happened was I ended up experiencing so much of The Bible in the process...my whole heart is God's now and He leads and guides us into all Truth...

Much love to you In Him,

What really helps in some situations is finding a testimony-then you can just mention that there is this person that was a homosexual but now is not...I haven't looked for one yet on homosexuality...but I sure have gone to youtube to Seek-testimonies on Healing...because testimonies sure do show the power of God and how He changes lives...You'll get scoffers and those that don't believe...oh well...I sure do believe...

Much love...Oh Yes He Does Still Heal!!! Whew...Thank You, Jesus!!! Show us Your Glory!!! In Your Name, I pray...

Much love to you In Him,

I think God finds His Creation Funny at times...I know that I had this thinking before much maturity...but I would think this: that God thought it was funny as He watched me go to and fro...searching for Him...(I'm glad He kept me alive until I could find Him...Hahaha...(Until really I chose Him above all-and left all the world behind for Him, His leading and Guiding, to the very best of my ability) I used to think God was saying: Well, there she goes again...

There is definitely a difference in "being in the world" and laughing at something or somebody...

and being born again and having a changed "merry heart"...Now there is Peace and Joy-usually that is...Hahaha...and I get just pure Joy out of thinking about how God Created different things...How He put ideas in people and they create things that help us on the earth...or thinking about Wow-God...Why did You do that? Whatever it is...that is funny...so it's like we, us and God can have a relationship...goes both ways you know...praying-talking...The Wonderful-ness of it all...

I have a different perspective now, too, about myself and other people...We are all God's Creation...and in every person there is a little bitty bit of Light...sometimes have to look hard for it...sometimes there is a brick wall that has to be knocked down that is keeping the Light from shining...but in every person there is a God Light that is trying to Lead and Guide them into All Truth...

I agree too that Flame's given verses are in the process of our maturity...The verse in James is talking about sinners getting clean and when I was there in that place...My laughter needed changing...My heart needed changing and everything...I needed God's Joy...I needed Hope...and there is Hope after...If we don't give up...Biblegateway .com signifies that James: 4:7-10 is talking about Humility Curing Worldliness...James 4:7-10 (The last verse, v.10, is The Hope for me) (7) Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (8) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (9) Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. (10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up. He is the One Who Lifts us Up!!! Oh Yes He Is!!!

and All of Psalm 27 is fabulous but especially v. 13, which gives me Hope again...Psalm 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living...I get pure Joy out of seeing The Goodness of The Lord...Here on this earth...Love you In Him, Kathy

Praying...

Zion...I know you can be a laugh riot...(I love love your sense of humour...I have seen it...Hahaha...read it) that is what drew me to you!!! and maybe for me laughter was the wrong meaning in some instances...A Merry Heart is what I was meaning by laughter...because it doeth good like a medicine...Proverbs 17:22...

I found an old timey good ol' song that talks about How Our Lord Gives us Our Medicine In The Closet...I find My Doctor (Jesus) In The Closet...Whew...(In The Prayer Closet)

I know we can laugh at something and it be like...in a bad way...

But that isn't what I was referring to...and I know we shouldn't disrupt a service...but that laughing (merry heart) on the inside just might cause someone to walk up to you after and ask you what is going on? Why are you so happy-merry?...Hahaha...Much love in Him...

Much love to you In Him...

Amen!!! It was 1989 and living in Florida when it snowed!!! Just a little snow but it stuck and froze...Hasn't snowed since...Hahaha

And while parking the car in a Church Parking Lot to go to an AA meeting...with a few other cars there...I spun around 3 times without hitting a single car!!! Needless to say...I give Him all the Glory and Praise...I know where my Lit Path is...In Him...Whew...Jesus My Lord

Hallallujah!!! Praise His Holy Name!!!

Oh yes He does...

I've gone through extreme Seeking places and one time I heard a joke in my spirit!!! It was: Take off your sunglasses so you can see My Light at the end of the tunnel!!! Hahaha...I laughed so hard because at that precise moment I needed Him...I needed encouragement...We are made in His image...Oh yes...He is Wonderful and Amazing...and Glorious...

One time He gave me a rapping song and I'm a pretty "old" young lady...That almost rocked my own socks off...Hahaha

and the third one: I asked Him if this "heat" that I was feeling; was it Him and His Healing Anointing, or was it a hot flash...I think He thought that was pretty funny...

I just read your what's on your mind: Being like Jesus...and Spock saying: Might be asking for long lines...Yeah...People needing and wanting to be healed...Whew...They are standing in line...Whew...

Much love in Him, Kathy

Much love to you In Him,

Whew...I see God's Hand...All things are possible with God!!! Just Trust Him...If we turn to Him wholeheartedly, He will lead and guide and even teach us all things...O God, You are so good!!! Hallallujah!!!

Much love to you In Him,

Amen...In total agreement with you...Praying...

Praying That The Lord May Lay His Healing Hand Upon you...Healing you and Filling you with His Love, Peace, Grace and Mercy...In The Name of Jesus, I pray...

Much love In Him...

I agree that we do not know the path that someone will take to get to that "born again" for sure place...That relationship place...for some of us, it's not easy-and takes many turns and a long time...and some of us go unconventionally...Hahaha...Just look at Saul who is Paul...I wouldn't trade the lit path where I found Jesus for no amount of money, not for a million trillion dollars...

He needs prayer covering him...for sure...as this may be the very place God has designed-that he will live through, the place where he finds Jesus for sure and gives his testimony and thousands are saved...Jesus is in it Somewhere...but prayer is what will make the difference-in my opinion...

We are born into an unsaved world-with free will...and those that don't want to believe God, I believe, God removes His Hand...so we pray...Asking God to change His Mind...Asking God to change (the person's heart)...It's all possible...and happens a lot...Thank You God!!! Whew...tearing up now...Save him to the uttermost, I pray, In The Name of Jesus...

Heavenly Father...Thank You for You Are Worthy and Greatly To Be Praised...I See Your Hand Upon Our Land...A Glimmer of Hope...and I'm so very grateful...O God, As We Turn From Our Wicked Ways...You Intervening in The Lives Of Your Children and Future Children...Please Bring us to The Cross...I pray For Every Laborer Indwelled With The Truth-Guard Their Hearts and Minds in Christ Jesus...Show us Your Way...Praying In The Name of Jesus...

Praying...

Much love In Him,

I know the Bible gives us how "perfection" is...and we look at it and say-there is no way...But there is a way...He is The Way...

Also the Indwelling Holy Spirit has come to lead and guide us into all truth...but not only that...If the Same Who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you...Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He Who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you...

so we also have empowered help for these dilemma's...

Hall, about our thoughts...The Bible says we can bring our thoughts into captivity to the obedience of Christ...2 Cor 10:5...I know that my sin almost led me to death-and I know that everything I do starts with a thought...and my particular thoughts got me in a lot of trouble...so I had to have help with them and I found that The Bible has every answer to every question...

Doing a word search: "thought" in The Bible...Biblegateway .com...Amazing and very enlightening!!!

Love you so much In Him...

Yes Lord...Send Your Comfort To Her Family and Friends...

I pray the perpetrators be found if they haven't been and I pray for their salvation...Strengthen your laborers in prisons, I pray, In The Name of Jesus...

Ms. Esther...Much love to you...Our lives have been bought at a high price by The Shed Blood of Our Savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Who Proceedth Forth From The Father...Became a Man So That He Would Know Exactly What we Go Through On This Earth...Forgives all our sin...Gives us New Life In Him...He Is Our Only Hope...All this if we ask!!! So there should be no shame in praying to Him...Asking Him To Help us...It was only when I came to the end of myself did I Seek Him and His Kingdom and His Righteousness...And He Made Himself Strong in my weakness...In me...We Draw Near To Him and He Draws Near To us...Everytime...He Will Not Leave Us Or Forsake us...Ever...

Some of us also find ourselves in somewhat of the same circumstances of Joseph...In the midst of sinners...His very existence depending on only sinners that didn't know God...But he Knew Him...He knew Him!!! Gen. 39:5 states that The Lord Blessed That House Because Joseph was in it!!! I have found also that we are way stronger than we think-also our thoughts will lie to us sometimes...that's why we need a renewed mind In Him...We start to believe and know that Our Jesus is at work in us and sometimes we don't even realize it...Do not under-estimate what your husband and sons are seeing in you...And if you sell out to Seeking God and don't deviate from it...you will be amazed!!! Sometimes words will come out of our mouths to them and for them...We can not make anyone get saved...We can't make anyone do anything...but I know of the most powerful force on earth and that is Prayer To The One Who Created us...Who Loves us...Also a very powerful force is: Worship...With Christian Music...Just get alone with God in the music...We have to take time out for God in our day...everyday...The Forum of Christian Music on this website is fantastic...You don't have to guess if you are watching something that's good...we don't have to search and hunt and peck...They are all good that are there...

Father God...I Come to You Seeking Help and Answers for our sister, Esther...Hold her in Your Loving Arms...Send Your Comfort, Peace and Love...I Pray Grace and Mercy Follow her all the days of her life...A Hedge of Protection as she lives among those that need You!!! That she walk beside the still waters...that she be strengthened and renewed In You...That Your Light Come Upon The Darkness that is Surrounding her...I Pray Hope in You begin to spring forth bringing new life...You Are Strong and Mighty, O God...Please bring our loved ones Into Your Marvelous Light...They need You...Open their blind eyes and deaf ears so they can See You...In The Name of Jesus, I pray...

Much love to you In Him...Jesus, My Lord...

It has been my experience so far in running this race that there are seasons...Just like a farmer prepares the land for planting...because he is expecting his labor to yield a crop...so we prepare the best way we know how...and then some of us because of the cares of this world; the lust of our flesh; the lust of our eyes; the pride of life...well we just don't prepare...and the farmer that doesn't prepare and isn't ready when it's time to plant...well he just might not have anything to eat...

This is so amazing to see because in reading this thread I can see myself, as I was, before Jesus and "in the world" and then I can see myself going through the season of "God taking me "out of the world" and totally depending on Him instead of myself...

I can just wallow in regret for not finishing college; but then again and at the same time I can Rejoice and Praise Him for Saving me...For Providing Everything I've Needed...

There are 2 more points I want to make:

Each of our paths to God and journeying through this adventure called life is different...but the finish line is the same for all of us...

and that we are to "bloom" so to speak where we are planted...

So if I have this job...whatever and wherever it is...or if I have this wonderful desire to go to college...I'm to be used of God right there...and believe me if He wants us in a different place; He will make it happen...

So many times when we are first saved it's like: Oh my...Where am I supposed to be God? Where? Where? and then He says: If you are Seeking First My Kingdom and My Righteousness. All these things will be added...I have lived those Words...In spending hours upon hours with Him in prayer and desiring His Will For My Life Above All...He has been my Greatest Teacher and has led me into what no school could teach me...but this is after years of endurance...and apparently to a girl that wasn't supposed to go to college; but I truly believe some of us are very much needed in colleges!!! When I learned that there were colleges going on in this country like over a hundred years ago!!! Wow...oh there is a lot of good that comes from them...A lot of good...Love you again In Him..
