In Jesus name I claim the promises of God. Light their path. Open their eyes and hearts. Put a song in their mouth, hearts and minds. Holy Holy Holy is our God. Amen
Lord please help Chuey. Thank you for your witness that went forth in the court and jail through Daniel.
I pray that your goodness would lead them and many more to repentance.
I pray that you would set the feet of these beloved young men on a different path that leads to the foot of the cross. And I pray for their protection while incarcerated. Please keep your hand upon them.
Save them both and use them for your glory! Bring them forth as "treasures" out of darkness.
Please cover Daniel as his testimony goes forth in such a dangerous place. In Jesus mighty name I pray Amen
Dear Lord, i pray especially that you would help Luke win souls. Gift him the wisdom he needs to lead souls to you. Holy Spirit teach him how. Also bind up the kingdoms of darkness. Bring them to nought. Save people that are serving the devil in darkness. Lord bless Luke and draw him nearer to you each day. Guide him with your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name. Amen.
Regards

There are many coming here searching and the care and concern we show for them will push them to Christ or away from him.
There are some who are returning to the faith. We want to love them and restore them to the father.
I'm going to keep praying for people.
I am currently trusting the Lord for some big big things cuz I don't serve a small God! So I know that the "enemy" will be attacking me as well. But I'm rejoicing and I WILL pray through it! God is good and he wants us to bring everything to him. Even a hangnail. He just wants us to fellowship with him and cast all our cares upon him.
I don't want to make anyone feel like they can't bring some things to the Lord. He cares about everything! So I find a way to pray for every request.
I did have to stop responding to every one individually because all I've got to work with with is a giant heart full of love and faith and a teeny tiny cell phone. Lol. And my eyesight isn't what it used to be.
Plus I've got kids and grandkids and mom and pets and homeless etc to care for. I do a lot of my praying in the middle of the night when everyone else is sleeping.
There are a lot of y'all I pray for without seeing your request. People that God has put on my heart. Like LaTonya, April, Mason who lost his grandma awhile back, David who's family members names I know by heart and I call them out no matter what his daily request is. Then there's E , and someone who's a regular that asked for prayer to find that land to build a home. I pray from my heart for y'all. And Charles Robert Northup.
This community has been such a blessing to me during my return to the Father. I learn from you. I let you pray for me. So that means I've learned to trust again. God is so good. And I'm growing in my knowledge of the word and faith.
Thank you all. God bless you today and always.
I don't believe that any nation can stand as "righteous" before God - none have the desire to seek after Him to obey Him. They will all stand in judgement in that day for their unrighteous acts, particularly for their resistance to the Gospel & hindrance to Christian witness. Governments are more concerned with their own 'politics', holding onto power, & pleasing the majority. They are not concerned with morality, ethics, truth & service under God. And any who rise up with such an admirable disposition, won't last long, because the god of this world will ensure that the heart & mind remains estranged from God, pursuing their own lusts, legislating from a darkened mind. We have what we have which even our vote can never change, but we have to first see to our own hearts, looking to the needs of others, & maintaining the Word of God in our lives that shows forth as a beacon of love & hope to all.
I was caring for my elderly mom who had come down with an illness so I was asked by her to come and stay in her home to care for her and her two dogs.
Then I was asked by my sister to watch a new puppy for a couple days. My mom says "it's ok watch him here at my house". But I wasn't told the puppy wasn't potty trained and I would have him for 5 days. My mom has no yard and doesn't want me taking the puppy out for fear that someone would cause trouble for her. (Her upstairs neighbor is openly anti Christ and he brags about his voodoo doll. He bashes Jesus, the Bible, and Christians openly. And doesn't have a problem saying so to my face.)
So the puppy is peeing and pooping everywhere, around the clock, and I'm doing my best to care for everyone but feeling pretty overwhelmed.
Then I get a call my loved one has a court date and because I'm a Christian and his mom, I want to be there and it's very stressful but I'm trying to keep it all together, it's up a huge flight of stairs and my Athsma flares up plus now I have to find someone to watch the puppy so I can go home and shower up for court.
And all that was only the second day.
I'm feeling pretty exhausted and overwhelmed but I'm praying a lot, reading my bible, and trying to keep a good attitude. Loving Jesus and his people.
I go to my happy place, where I feel like the Lord CALLED me to pray for others. I am Grace. That's my nickname. I had not even been able to check my email until things finally calmed down yesterday. Days later. Now I've picked up a little lung bug. Not feeling well. And I see see 5 or 6 responses from a Christian brother followed by one that feels a tad bit explosive. And it stabs me in the heart a little bit. And it feels like my world crumbles a little bit. Because someone thinks my request is petty and offensive.
I swallow the lump in my throat, Wipe the tears from my eyes, and thank the Lord. God bless.
That's admirable you are praying for others so much and genuinely care. Thank you for sharing God's love and lifting others up. God bless.
So, it is understood that Paul was in deep earnest when he was giving out his witness of Jesus. It seems that these Jews were aware of this 'Jesus' but were in grave doubt to the authenticity of His Messiahship. And this prompted Paul's spirit to more earnestly explain & prove that this Jesus was the promised Messiah; in other words, Paul 'gave it his all' to them. However, the next verse (v6) shows that even with his further proving & maybe his entertaining their arguments, these Jews rejected what Paul was testifying. And this prompted him to essentially say that he had no more to give them, & by their rejection of Christ, their lives now stood under God's Judgement & he would go to the Gentiles, as ordained by the Lord.
I realize that I've taken liberty in transliterating this verse, but hopefully it shows that the words "that & was" were not intended to reference an "earlier or stand alone entity", except of course, Paul's proving from the Scriptures what the Jews already knew, that the Christ was promised to come, & the One who was being expounded to them now by Paul, was He.
Luke chapter 10 and 11. God bless you in His Name Amen.
Amen
And the original promise is in the Old Testament?
God calls us to bring our needs and hopes to Him in prayer so that when He answers, we know it was Him working in our lives. This causes us to love Him more and to be more dedicated to follow Him. We get to give Him the glory and praise for all He does. Praying reminds us of our need for Him and His great power to accomplish what He wills in our lives.
thank you for your post.
Yes, God is at work in each of us drawing us to Himself through His Word. We are all studying the Scriptures in the way that we believe is fit for us at this time in our lives. so, for me, I don't think I need to expect others to be studying as I am or be in the same book of study in the Bible as I am, nor to have the same focus in my spiritual growth as I do now.
On this site, most often someone brings up a topic or question and we respond. Sometimes we share what we are presently studying or insights we have discovered. So, Grae, I hope you stick with us for a while and over time you will get to know some of us much better. I am glad you are here. Have a good night.
