hippo's hope is HIM

I used to wear Cross neckalces, to try and remind myself who I am representing..who I am supposed to examplify... they all broke!!! So I took that as a sign that I wasn't doing a good job of showing others Christ and therefore shouldn't turn them off by a symbol. The Lord, has a lot of work to do in me :x: .....I wish I could show His love through me...I desire to lead people to Him, but if I can't change myself, then how can I expect others too?

What is prophecy? Are you refurring to like Biblical prophecy....current people prophesing...??? How would one know if they've recieved a prophesy? If someone Prophesies over you..does it mean that it will come to pass? I am really confused about the whole issue. If any one could explain, I'd appreciate it.

P.S. lol The thing about the blurry person in the pic...the camera prolly wasn't in focus, or the lighting was weird. FOr me it happends alot with digital cameras. As for the Movie the Ring...that was totally ficticious, and shouldn't even be thought about twice.

I feel you. I deal with low self-esteem, bad thoughts, ect. I too tend to bottle it up. I am normally the listener in most conversations so I do not get to talk about things...I stuggle daily with it. I'll be praying for you.

I sent mine today! You think she doesn't reply because she thinks it's weird getting e-mail from a bunch of stangers??? Any way....I hope she is doing okay.

It is so good to know that I am not the only one that is going through this. After a while of no one knowing what I was talking about...ya'll sure make me feel a little bit more sane lol. Although I do wish Satan would BACK OFF. He seems to draw near to me when I am closest to God as well, but he gets on my nerves. I feel like how can I serve the Lord If he's always there. Maybe it has something to do with going into the ministry...I have horrid dreams, and freaky realities, and hear voices and see shadows....thought I was losing my mind. Satan seems to enjoy toying with me... any way, please pray for me. It is tough, always having him there to try and bring me down...

Unfortunately I know it happens. I have experienced it numerous times. I've yet to figure out why Satan keeps bothering me, but he's constantly throwing something at me. I'll pray for you. ><> HIS

Sorry to post them so close together (hope it's okay) I love this song!!

Armageddon I gaze into the void of night, And my soul is filled with terrible fright, I can

Awesome poem!!! I love to worship, every moment that I can! God has given me the desire to praise Him a lot, and however I can. I like to write poems too, but not as eloquent as yours I love worshiping God through expressive worship and puppets. Singing, and reading Scripture, and singing and signing, and listening and talking, and just so many things that God lets me use to worship Him! Praise the Father He is so awesome!! "Faith"<<< I wrote this at a time in my life where the Lord was calling and I didn't want to answer Faith is believing in something that isn

Yeah, spiritual warfare in my mind is a huge battle for me. My mind rages and is in torment many a days, and I just turn on praise music, or recite verses, and pray, but this isn't always effective. I hate it, I want a Christ focused mind, and to think Holy thoughts, but it seems I am continually becoming unfocused. Any advice as to what to do?

Wow very interesting. lol, wish I knew what ya'll meant lol. Are ya'll scientist or something? blessings...

Hollywood didn't have anything to do with thte production of the movie. Mel Gibson did it himself...and How was it a Roman Catholic point of view when Mel Gibson is Chrisitan??? Christ suffered...yeah I reckon you wouldn't want to see it, but the hard truth is that HE did! And He did even more than is depicted...and He did it to save lousy sinners like us.

:oww: Yes! That has totally happened before!! The Lord never ceases to amaze me with His ways of reaching His children!

Gibson has said that no one under the age of 12 or something close to that should see the movie. Um, yeah it is totally violent. I think that one of the reasons he focused on the mutilation of Jesus is to make us realize what Jesus did for us...it was NOT peaceful and it was NOT painless, Jesus Christ felt every single piece of His flesh being ripped from His body for me and for YOU. I don't think many realize what Christ went through, and I don't think we can really appreciate what Christ did without realizing the extent of every thing....not only His resurection, but his flogging and the cruxifiction as well. So I do not think a child should see it, however I do not feel that it is a bad thing and I truly believe that it is going to change lives.

Hey! I will send her a card soon! I can't promise that I'll send more than one, but I will do at least one! Bless you, that's so neat that you'd do this for someone! Keep on doing what you are, wow, you really are neat!! May the Lord bless and keep you, may His face shine upon you and gi>e you rest.

It is strange and it varies from time to time. It starts with a paralyzing fear, and I know that it isn't of the Lord (for fear is not of the Lord but of Satan). Sometimes I am wide awake and sometimes I am dead asleep. I try reciting Scripture, my mind goes blank, and I can't even speak. I see dark hovering shadows sometimes dark figures. It's really hard to explain without you thinking I am insane or making it up, but I'm not. In the dreams, they are worse, than when I am awake. I hear voices, and they are really oppressive type spirits. I wake up gasping for air sometimes, because I can't breathe. I don't know if this makes sense, but I am trying. They are different each time, and sometimes they are almost like premonition type things, because a couple of weeks later, that scenario happens...other times, I get just pralyzed with fear. I'm sorry if this isn't making sense...

:sleep: I am totally new to this whole forum thing, but I figured I would give it a try! I want to know if you can have spiritual warfare in your sleep? Would there be a difference bewteen dreaming about it, and actually doing it? I'll explain more later....I want to see your answers before I get into it! Thank you and may the Lord bless you.
