True Flight - Just checking in, how is your daughter? Am keeping her in prayer...

Congratulations, that's great news!

Standing in agreement with you!

That's good news! Will keep you and your family lifted up in prayer! Had a the same thing happen in my home earlier this year so I have a feel for what you're going through...

Welcome back, Dee!

Amen, He's an on time God!! Give Him all the praise!

Wow, go God!!!!! What a great Christmas gift! Praise God!!

Hi Christa - Father, I plead the blood of Jesus over Christa and her daughter. Thank You for the angels that You've dispatched to form a hedge of protection around Christa's daughter tonight and I give thanks to You that she will not experience any harm while in her father's presence. I pray that the spirit of fear that is trying to harass Christa be bound in the name of Jesus and that you would give Christa the peace that surpasses understanding in this situation and that everything be done according to Your will. We give You all the glory now and forever. In Jesus' name, Amen!

Hi LovetoworshipJesus - When I read your post, I thought of the following scriptures, I pray that they will bless you: Romans 5 Faith Triumphs in Trouble 1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have[a] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. James 1:2-5 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. Psalm 61 To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument.[a]A Psalm of David. 1 Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. 4 I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah 5 For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name. 6 You will prolong the king’s life, His years as many generations. 7 He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him! 8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows.

Standing in agreement with the previous prayers!

I'm thankful for Jesus as well! I'm continually humbled by His sacrifice for me and am continually understanding more the impact of the gift of salvation! I'm so thankful that I have Jesus in my life as my Lord, my King, my Counselor, my Protector, my Healer, and my Friend! Without Him, I really don't know how I would have gotten through the challenges of life I've experienced. Without Him I would have no hope.... I'm thankful for my health. I'm not where I would like to be fitness wise but I'm healthy, all my body parts are functioning as they were designed to function - ok, with the exception of my eyes but fortunately God inspired someone to invent contacts... I'm so thankful for God's protective provision in my life. He blessed my family with the stability of a having home so that my sons as well as my mother and I could live safely together. He's also blessed me with continuous employment. When a door has closed, it's because he's had another one opening for me to walk through. I'm thankful for my current job. It is keeping me very busy right now but I'm extremely thankful to be employed right now and am thankful for the type of company that I work for as well as my co-workers. I'm thankful that God blessed me with two wonderful boys. They are happy kids and have positive attitudes. Yes, they still bicker and have their "moments" but overall, they rock! I'm thankful that my mother has been blessed with a long life (she turned 84 earlier this month). While her body is catching up with her (with 84 years of mileage it's no surprise), she's still mentally sharp and it's great to see her and the boys grow together. I'm very thankful that she has been able to be a part of the boys' lives, see them grow from babies into young man and big boy and that she's left an imprint on them. I'm thankful for the Lord's intervention in a special friendship that I thought was lost but He gave me understanding of my friend's situation through dreams (all of which was later confirmed when we resumed our friendship) so that I could intercede on his behalf. I'm very thankful to have him back in my life and am also thankful to be able to see him walk into all that God has destined for him. He is my local Joseph. I'm thankful that the Lord led me to this site. My relationship with Him has grown closer as I'm now able to hear Him through my dreams. I'm also thankful that the Lord has seen it fit to use me as a vessel to bless others and help them gain that supernatural understanding that comes only from the Lord. And I'm grateful for the friendships that I've developed with members on this site. You're the best! I'm thankful for the hope that the Lord has put in my heart. I believe that as good as the 1st half of my life has been it will pale in comparison to how wonderful the 2nd half will be. Thank You Lord for Your grace and mercy, Your lovingkindness and Your faithfulness…I love you!

Yes, this is so true! That is why for me I don't always believe what I hear...(bad pun but true)...I always test what I've heard against the Word of God, test the spirit behind the word spoken to me, and I'll file the information to see if it is confirmed. Often these things spoken (here I'm talking about information, not the negative seeds that the enemy tries to plant) are only partially correct which makes sense since the enemy isn't omniscient, he can't know the future any more than you or I can without the Holy Spirit's revelation. I think another thing we need to do is to build ourselves up with MORE of the Word of God because the Word will counter-attack the lies that the enemy says. Amen, Cholette! This is the model that Jesus gave us - He countered the things that Satan told Him with the Word when Satan was trying to tempt Jesus when He was fasting in the wilderness(Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 4:1-13).

Wow, praise God! Thank you Lord, for your protection and thank you that no weapons formed against us can prosper!

I do that very thing...pray and ask the Lord to confirm that it is from Him...

All glory and praise is His! Great news, Christa!

Ditto to everything said. Our intercessory prayer team has been praying for our youth and yesterday at church the presiding pastor stopped the service to make a couple of announcements - one family's son had been shot over the weekend and wasn't doing well and another family that had moved out of town, their son was murdered this past week. Same thing the pastor implored to the church, we HAVE to pray for our youth because they are under attack! I live in the metro area of the 16 year old girl that was gang raped and in the last few days a 23 yr old mother was allegedly killed by her boyfriend and her 17 month old son is missing. A body has been found at a nearby marina and they think it may be the little boy. Ugh! But you're right, we have to be strong and stand in our authority and remember the power that we have through prayer. This is the time to stand in the gap for the youth and draw the boundary lines around them!

I'm learning to be quiet, even when I want to say something. Ooh, I can testify to this, both the good outcomes and the bad. I went through a season when I was dealing with a couple of people who were antagonizing me and while in the flesh I would've been justified in responding I knew it was a test and as hard as it was (my tongue still has scars from biting it), I swore God was going to get the glory. There were times I had to put on the covering of Jesus because I wasn't feeling like responding in a Godly way, I did what I knew was right although every cell in my being wanted to say/do something different. I'm SOOOO glad that I did that...in Romans 12, the Lord tells us that vengeance is His and I saw it manifest in dealing with this couple, too much to go into but let me just say that there's no better one than God to correct people and apply vengeance when it's appropriate.... On the flip side, I can't count the number of times I let something come out of my mouth that really shouldn't have been said. In my own case, I fiound that I was making comments on situations that appear one way but turned out to be quite different - I misread situations, motives and the hearts of others. I agree with Cholette that it isn't easy, it's something that I still struggle with but I can say this...if there is a situation where there was something that really needed to be said but I didn't say it, God always lets me know that I was to speak AND He provides the opportunity for those words to be spoken AND He gives me the words. Praise God! I prefer this approach...this is part of the fruit of patience...... jbs, I wll definitely keep you in prayer about this...continue to seek the Lord's assistance, He will give you a spirit of self-control and a spirit of discernment so that you are better able to respond better when needed...

how are you able to post?

Amen and amen! Flow, girl!

Thanks! Cholette, I just spent some time on that one, so far it's my favorite! Yes, if there are specific ones that you would like to have me upload just PM me the actual emoticon, I think that should work - if not, we'll figure it out via trial/error.....

Dreamster - Notice anything different? I even found one that reminded me of you so added it... Enjoy!

GREAT NEWS!!! Take a look.... We now have a way to add the emoticons back and add new ones (to the extent the server can handle them so we need to add sparingly)...this is somewhat timeconsuming because the emoticons came from different sites, of which there are many...I found some of our "classic" ones and a couple of new ones...I'll keep looking but would love it if anyone who has time could search for them as well...PM them to me and I'll upload them...the ones we had or ones that you think would make a great addition (not guaranteeing that they'll get uploaded but will try)... Thanks everyone and a BIG THANK YOU to Daph (Laura), looking forward to seeing you on the boards soon!!!!

I'm just getting over the flu, it hasn't been fun! :-( Will keep you in prayer...rest, drink a LOT of good liquids and take Vitamin C and D...

Unfortunately, the emoticons can only be reloaded by the site owner...am trying to connect with Mia so that she can either do it or allow one of the moderators to do it...will provide an update as I'm able...thanks everyone for being patient....

mb, you left the psalm that I was going to leave for princessdelia, Psalm 37. Bless the Lord! Princessdelia, I will continue to pray for you and your son. As the others have said, you are more than a conqueror. Stand on the Word that was given to you, the Lord will not give you more than you can bear (although when you're in the midst of it, it sure doesn't feel that way...). Remember that our God loves righteousness and justice...even though things look odd right now, know that He's taking this and working it for your good. Trust in Him to make things right because He is going to do so....
