Please feel free to browse around and get to know everyone. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. As soon as you post a few times and after they are approved, it'll tell us that you are "real" person and not a "bot", you'll be free to post throughout our forums and join our chat rooms. Forgive us for this minor inconvenience, however, we've had issues in the past with Spammers! This is a short tutorial video of how to get started with Worthy Christian Forums. As soon as you get out of Newbie status, you'll be able to add your profile picture. You may be interested in reading how WCF functions, and how the forums are set up, and other neat tricks to the forums. Read our insights into WCF. Let me share a little bit of my vision for the ministry in a parable. Let's say I'm throwing a big party and am inviting the world to the party (the forums) and I want everyone to have a great time, eating (reading through posts being fed), drinking (being encouraged to walk in His Word), and having fellowship with one another. In Israel, we have Shabbat meals -- and whenever you have 2 Jews -- you have 3 opinions -- it's GREAT to be opinionated. I encourage discussions ... but during our Shabbat meals ... we never ever get to the point in disagreements whereby food is being tossed and seriously yelling takes place! And if someone comes into the meal ... and starts throwing food ... and yells at everyone -- what do you suppose the head of the Shabbat meal will do? He'll escort those causing problems out of the house! Why? Because the whole reason for the gathering was to learn from one another ... to have a great time of fellowship! Some people like to constantly throw food and yell ... they won't last on Worthy ... because they missed the point of the party ... it's a prequel to the true party -- the Lamb's Supper! All I'm trying to provide is a place to allow true fellowship ... and discussions in love ... in the hopes it will be a catalyst for true REVIVAL based on REPENTANCE! I hope you have a blessed time at Worthy! Please use the REPORT POST feature (which can be found at the top right of all posts) any posts that you believe should be reviewed!

God wants us to communicate to Him on a personal level. He needs to know what is on our hearts. He needs to know our needs and He needs to know that we love Him. We are to pray as a child which is pretty simple. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Jesus praying to GOD! Have you ever paid it close attention? Yes, I am sure many of us have. Anything in particular you want to discuss? I will say that this example of a prayer is just that, an example. The prayer covers many aspects: God as our Father He abides in Heaven He is Holy His kingdom will come (fulfillment of prophecy) His will will be done on earth as it is in Heaven - He is God almighty and this is His creation. We are to seek His will in our lives. A request that He meet our daily needs, which He is glad to do so That how we are forgiven is likened to how we forgive others A request that He help us with our temptations and that He keep us from evil, which is His goal for us. Ending in us recognizing He is God Anything you care to add or discuss? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just briefly discuss two of them; the Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom of Heaven are two separate Kingdoms. We believers are to pray for a quick return of "the Kingdom of Heaven" here on earth. The Kingdom of Heaven was started in the beginning, and Adam forfeited it to Satan. Christ came to restore the Kingdom of God, and His people rejected Him and His Kingdom [fortunately for us Gentiles]. We pray for the Kingdom to come to restore all things God had intended for man-kind, and live in righteousness and in Him. To be extremely brief...

Even though He knows our needs and yes wants God still wants us to come to Him. Amen! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody pay any attention to that ? Will we go to Hell if we don’t. Is this why Monks get up at 3 am and pray for 6 hours to start their day?Shouldn't we do at least as much?Do I ask too many questions?

To me, praying without ceasing even means when our thoughts/hearts are directed towards God. Sometimes we don't use words.... it's our attitude towards the Lord. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
