Reminder for prayer please

[artsylady]

Please continue to pray, for Oprah and her followers and for those I have the privledge of ministering too.

I am honoured to have the trust of a few who are pming me.

These people are hurt and looking for a way to cure their pain. We know Jesus is the way, but unfortunately, some don't. And the Christians there also seem to be looking for a way to cure their pain as well, because for whatever reason, I believe they haven't been trusting God and taking scripture literally.

Please keep up the prayers.

Thank you.

And if you want come there. I'm too busy to see who is there from here because the threads move so fast.

Please don't post in angry big letters or tell them they're going to hell etc though. There are a few well meaning Christians doing that but that's not going to work.

thank you saints.

Some specific names: Daynaswan, Gumnut, Iamurme, Jengado, Gloria.

Would it be okay if I post some names daily? Or the days that I am on there at least?

While I have never watched Oprah in my life I neither take every verse literally... what's the issue, really?

The issue is a course, based on a book - a very ridiculous new age book by a complete wacko named Eckhart Tolle - someone who was suicidal and then one day his thoughts disappeared completely and he spent two years blissfully happy mostly on park benches, homeless, jobless with no acquaintances. Does that sound like a state you'd want to be in? Sadly, there are many in pain and just don't try Christianity, or don't bother to really apply it and they are falling for this really weird stuff.

I've been on the Oprah boards for about 2 months now. Got on there about a week before this weekly course started. It's really wacked. There are people who are reading the book experiencing crying spells, seeing 'spirits', hearing voices and music, depression, seeing auraus, loss of conciousness, and even to the point of suicidal. I would highly, highly, not recommend this book.

Please especially bump up prayers for Daynswan. She has been crying for a few weeks and can barely keep it together. I gave her verses, suggested she see a doc asap, turn to Jesus asap, suggested she call me or I call her - tried to give her hope. THe new agers are in there like a dirty shirt, giving her all kinds of weird advice and they quote from Tolle like he's written scripture - honestly, it's the most nonsensical garbage I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. This is what happens with every thread that is started where people are experiencing negative and frightening effects (some even describe them as frightening) The new agers go and start their jibberjabber. Another member here went there last night and said it made his stomach sick watching what was being said.

Of course, Oprah doesn't think so and to many, Oprah is a best friend, trustworthy type, so they just fall right into it.

If this guy is the anti Christ I will not be surprised. If he is not the anti christ, the mental health system is going to be backed up with severe cases soon. Either way, it's not good.

Prayer is desperately needed.
