purity

I had laughs reading them  thank you everyone for sharing 

if the finance of such churches are dealt well I think it’s good to have God provide the means to portrait the greatness and glory of Him through art  it may just be a loving dedication to the Lord than just a waste of money, like the ointment of Maria poured out on Jesus yet people criticise her actions. besides, how pretty they are!  reminds me how we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" \o/ 

I’m still waiting on the Lord for the right connections to help me grow in the Lord. I don’t have a local church or Christians near me, nor have I found such person that would make commitment to help me online. It is painful to stuck on the track and not able to move on. I’d appreciate it if you don’t post man’s opnions or ungodly advices here or make a religious show or socialize or preach like you understood or how you coped YOUR situation or details of other traumas etc., this is a prayer request thread, not counseling thread. and I don’t want to discuss openly here about personal issues. so don’t take the adventage of speaking about someone’s life while they can’t explain everything to everyone read it and heap it on them the burden to address what you did in their prayer request thread. Talk is cheap, it might took you few minutes to comment but I had been and am living in it. And if you could just reply without quoting my original words I’d appreciate that you don’t take away the right of me re-edit my post, when I want to close it so no more people would read it. There is no point quoting the whole thing. If you have a specific word to ME from the Lord, don’t make it public. Thank you and God bless. 

sorry to let you know that I had not been doing very well. stuck. bad dreams continue and self harm thoughts are still there. feel weary and tiresome in this long process...it’s been so long and I’ve done so much yet still so alone in this journey. I struggle to post here too afraid of rejection and hurt as I have no place to go. I wanted to make better posts that make better senses but got stuck everytime compose drafts. As I’ve fought the battle countless times but the sadness deep inside just don’t go away. Strength to make forward moves needed. I need help, miracle on daily basis. I come from very different background than most people here. hopefully there will be way out for things and the Lord gives me strength, clarity and carries me.... Please pray. 

Jesus help me

Justice is God’s Way, and Revenge is His, though we could take things in our own hands and man’s selfish ways lead to destruction. 

It’s quite a dark world in which sins have increased the way beyond imagination, and to the distance of crucified our Lord Jesus Christ (and still do today, as in the persecution of the spiritual, and opposing God’s Will in our lives and even in churches), including ourselves’ sins nailed Him there. To have all things corrected in this world temporal on earth couldn’t be practical but have to wait for His Plan for everything to unfold. 

For some things, God told us to leave it there as He permits, because without simply taken out all the "bad" the Good God is even capable of turning it into miracles, "making all things work for those love Him", and we can rest in His care. His eyes are on the sparrow and Israel (us) for ever. Those do evil sin against God first, and Judgment awaits everyone (for the unbeliever the White Throne Judgment and Christians the Christ’s judgement seat). For some other things, not for our earthly benefits like gain and fame but eternal welfare, the Lord lead us as in other ways, to stretch His Kingdom and get trained for eternity, after all WE His children and masterpiece are what will last, not what we possess here for a period of time, and to serve Him in eternity is what we look forward to and our goal. And beside some special people GOD use to perform their duties on the job like spiritual deliverance, medical care, police or justice department, we "common citizens" may have less legal permissions and responsibilities of what could be done in chasing darkness down in a bigger range, but could still perform our God-given authority and be a Kingdom ambassador where we are, remember God is the Judge, and Christ is our righteousness. 

It is not wrong in hating evil and sin as a God-loving person will do, but continue to keep Faith and Hope and most of all Love, to love our Lord, and love others as ourselves, with the Love in us from above. In not being overcomed by evil but overcome evil with good we are already winning, and through Christ we are more than conquerors. God’s word is our weapon in this dark world, it’s the lamp to our feet and light to our path, keeps us strong and stand firm on right ground, nothing can be done without Christ but with God all things are possible. 

Learning to give things into the Lord’s Hands and trusting Him myself, from getting perspective (Discernment) to seek guidance and strength to follow through. Thanks for the opportunity of writing a reply from my own experience. 

Great topic I’m looking forward to others’ inputs 

Ask God’s family to continue praying for me, as the health issues and flashbacks continue, still not been able to do more than manage taking care of my daily needs, or build local support and find some Christian friends (don’t know where to, lack of energy and safe plans to backup), asking the Lord to open a way for me 

Thank you all so much for the needed prayers, as other small "annoyance" kept coming and go like a badly hurting throat few days ago, and adapting to a new bought mattress. my chest (around ribs actually I think) still hurts or warns me about getting to be hurt so I could do much less but sleep less and sit on a chair instead, adjusting my posture constantly to be more comfortable. couldn't do much typing before. (but today I've came into chat and typed for hours! yet went to make tea and felt different with lifting cup??)

I do wonder if it has to do with some spiritual reasons? 

and the fearful anxious alertness I still got at times from flashbacks (or they be part of the flashbacks) sometimes it felt overwhelming or mind "clogging" like I was in another state until come to myself and aware of what was going on, and took some more time to find a way to make myself busy as not to think negative or just wait for it to pass... and sometimes could "stood up" to do some binding prayers so to speak. 

...and I'm a bit scared just finding myself typing all this with vocabulary I didnt know would come to me like "clogging"..? I didn't want to talk at all, or couldn't. and thought of to leave Worthy chat 

just speak of my mind.

Thank you for prayers and reading this....

God is good. 

GBU all

I can't see the post it's all blank to me

I can't see the post it's all blank to me

Please continue to pray for me to have better health and strength to take after myself, beside the physical affects from flashbacks of past abuse, like racing thoughts, hard to relax, having tense shoulders and muscles, sleep quality for adopting to different beds and mattress, rest is so needed as my arms got so sore that my chest or back of shoulder feels burning pain and a bit numb right now, cant do much typing in order to save strength. and for back loins to fully healed which was accidentally hurt days ago. Thank you!

I had been struggling about interacting in the forums. just had a thought that maybe the devil doesn't like for me to post in here because he knows people would pray for it! and that
 prayers are powerful, also the testimonies out of it.

you see it's not just about me as I am part of His plan and one in His Kingdom, there is spiritual side to what I had been and am going through, and when  it became more clear of God's presence and doing among . and despite of what the enemy tried to convince me I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING IN CONNECTING WITH MY GOD'S FAMILY! They are God's gift in blessing me and showing Him to me when I can't do it alone or see myself. And TRUTH brings Healing even Freedom... there is NO FEAR IN LOVE and only BY LOVING AND BEING LOVED I AM MADE COMPLETE/PERFECT. so if I am giving Love or receiving Love I can rest assured that I'm on the right path... silence the accusing voices that condemn me or try to isolate me.
 Thank God for the revelation and timely !
 pray the Truth be totally sinked in and be rooted deeper in LOVE...

I think the danger of the typhoon had gone it's my first time encouter one. The news said it decreased power, stayed for short, wind was only 8-9 degrees strong, not much damagies, and I have been safe indoor, which I belive was result of prayers 
have been feeling weak and exhausted, mind not very clear, maybe dehydrated but kidneys weak this morning? not sure of the expression in details. 

just slept through the afternoon into over 10 pm..  had some water and going back to sleep now as still feeling tired and sore

I'm not medically acquinted or good at taking care of myself, and need strength for a shower but would have to put it off until better. pray would stay safe, not get ill or have a fever etc. I'm currently staying at my parents, by myself for they went traveling, will need to go back to my rental apartment after they come back as the mattress here in my old room doesn't work now after I accidentally hurt my back loins days ago, but pray the bed there will do or a solution come up soon...which was the reason I came over here, to be able to get some sleep. And just moved back to this city not too long ago so not having friends around to help, and to my current state a bit overwhelming to meet new ones. it's a little complicated.

Thank you all for prayers and encouragment!
 

There is a typhoon coming my place and rain just started to pour. I've stored up some food and upon preparation got too tired almost passed out minutes ago, in need of prayers for strength, health and safety, Thank you

Amen!

No weapon formed against me shall prosper, whosoever gather against me shall fall for my sake 

The Blood of Jesus cleanses me 

GOD LOVES ME!

I just want to keep praising the Lord who had been faithful to me, gave His life for me and promised me a hopeful eternity with Him, and SHAME and Judgment on the enemy whatever their schemes against me they WILL FAIL because THE BIBLE SAYS I AM MORE THAN AN OVERCOMER THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!

Now I see perfectly clear that the enemy was angry for what I said during lunch time by commanding him to get out of my life, hours later attacked my body and sleep and use people too LOL well the battle is on you will see me thrive, one bad word you throw at me ten praises I will give to God! 

And I AIN'T FIGHTING ALONE!!

It's been over an year now that I needed a suitable bed and health to be restored, which resulted in me had to stay indoor most of the time due to the burning pain of sore muscles and lack of strength, had to spend too much time moving from place to place to get some rest, tried some beds and mattress out and haven't find the right one for me yet. Please pray for God's provision and a solution come soon. Thank you
