Hi nubava - While it may be a difficult time for your family, take heart in knowing that her prayer was answered and that she is now with the Lord. For that, give Him praise and thanks for the gift of salvation that gives us eternal life and take comfort in the fact that you will see her again. Keeping you and your family in prayer that the Lord will comfort and strengthen you through this time. Blessings, Lurdys

How do you most easily hear God for yourself?
lola21st replied to newleaf's topic in Member Bible Study & Teachings
I have a similar experience to HisLightbeam and Connie...the Lord will speak to me through the Word, through dreams, or in the early morning hour when my mind is cleared of all of the clutter or the prior day and before the new day has begun. He speaks encouragement, instruction, gives me the solution to a problem, etc. -

(sorry, I lost my DSL access and wasn't in the office yesterday so have been on in 10 minute increments on and off...) Amen, mb, standing in agreement! Hi Cholette - I will definitely keep you in prayer that the Lord would reveal His will to you in this matter in a way that is clear and can't be misunderstood. To me, He's given you a partial release (being let go from your job) but not a complete release. HLB and V are right, this is your Jerusalem but trust that He is working this out and orchestrating something that He will share with you soon. Blessings, Lurdys

For Those of You Believing God for a Financial Breakthrough...

Thanks everyone for your prayers!!! I've had a couple of talks with my son and gave him the big picture of what's going on with his father. We also set up an emergency contact plan should he find himself in a similar situation with his father moving forward. In the meantime, I'm setting up some time with his father to discuss what happened and the consequences of this latest set of bad decisionmaking. I also intend to let him know about God's saving grace. He may not be open to hearing it but I can at least plant seeds....we'll see what happens... Again, thanks and God Bless you all!

Hello Saints! I would REALLY appreciate it if you all would keep my older son in your prayers.... Last evening he called because he had played in a baseball game which had ended and his father wasn't around to pick him up nor did he tell my son that he would be leaving the game. (He usually stays for the games so this was odd.) I call his father and only get his voicemail so leave a message. About 10 minutes later my son texts that his dad picked him up so everything is ok and he arrives home about 30 minutes later. A couple of hours after that my ex-h calls and asks if our son is home. I say yes and he becomes very apologetic that he forgot to pick up our son and wondered how he got home. It took 10 minutes of conversation and confirmation from his son to convince him that he himself took our son home. Long story short, he blacked out from being under the influence which is why he didn't remember. My ex-h has had an off and on battle with alcohol addiction over the years (there are generational issues with this particular addiction that go back 2-3 generations). His trigger is usually stress and there are things taking place in his life right now which are stressing him out. What's more, he recently managed to get a medical marijuana card to treat chronic pain he has had from a previous biking accident. So he apparently was both drunk and high when he drove our son home... I give thanks to our precious Lord for protecting my son and making sure that he got home without injury and for my ex as well. But now I have to deal with the fallout from this as there are actions that I'll need to take now that aren't going to be well received. That I can do with His guidance but I'm really concerned about how this all will affect my son both in the physical and spiritual worlds. He's doing so well right now in school, sports, church, socially, etc. and he's right at the age (13 yrs) where he needs to have solid male role models - it is so Satan that these issues surface at this stage as an attempt to throw him (my son) off track, minimally to distract him but also establish the next generation cursed. I know what I'm up against spiritually and Satan will NOT be able to continue this dysfunction in yet another generation -the lines have been drawn and will not be crossed in Jesus' name! I would really appreciate your intercessory prayers regarding this situation. Thanks & God bless you all!

marriage decision /protection of my 14 yr old son
lola21st replied to Tolos2009's topic in A Praying Place
I agree, follow the God's leading as you have been doing...if you don't feel peace over the situation, don't move forward. Continue fasting and praying until you hear from God on the matter. Your husband sounds like he's trying to manipulate you with the ultimatum. If you don't see tangible changes for an extended period of time, don't go back as nothing in your relationship will change. He has to make concrete changes to show that he is committed to the marriage. Don't compromise on those key items, no drinking and going back to church. And continue to cover him in prayer. I will pray for both situations. -

DID I DO THE RIGHT THING....TELL ME
lola21st replied to Linda Irish's topic in Member Bible Study & Teachings
Linda - I share in your humiliation... :blushing: Several years ago, my former husband and I were on a road trip from CT to PA. I was driving on this leg of the trip and we were approaching a toll booth plaza. Traffic was very heavy, stop and go. It was getting to be time for a check up on the car but I had been putting it off. While we were stopped, I noticed that the car was moving. I pressed harder on the brake but no avail, we kept moving. I so don't want to crash into the car in back of me and am wondering if I made that last insurance payment before I left so I'm freaking out pumping the brakes, shouting out expletives (I wasn't saved yet), warning my then husband we were going to crash, and bracing myself for the impact. He looked at me weird and shouted "What is your problem???!!!! We're not moving!!!!!!!" Turns out the cars beside us were moving, giving the illusion that our car was moving... Oh. :blushing: Never mind. I do hope in your case Linda that at the end of it all, someone recognized you for your compassion and quick thinking... -
