Delightful soul

you know as I was reading all of this I was reminded of times when I used to go into the city (Brisbane Australia) and people would ask me for money. There were times when I would give money and times when I felt NOT TO. Around this time a woman in the same city got raped from someone asking for money, they asked for money, she went to grab it out of her purse and they dragged her into an alley and assaulted her. So I believe there are times when we are to give, but also we are to be harmless as doves and wise as serpents.....The holy spirit will always be your umpire..... blessings

wow I am not married but I am excited for you all! what lovely stories! God is so GOOOD!

the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord......

I shall pray matey. Question, do you think God is beating you up? I mean the bible says that the accuser of the brethren accused them day and night (in revelations).... If you are still in need to repent, then God will gentley convict you. I sooo think that perhaps you are being convicted if you know what you have to do. I have been here before. I shall be frank. I was sleeping with my boyfriend for nearly 5 months and I felt so bad about it that I would repent (so called) every time I drove home (i lived an hour away) and then back I would go to his place and do the same thing, over and over ....this was 2 years ago and I was a born again spirit filled believer, but I wanted to marry him so badly that I made stupid sinful compromises to win his love. Jesus understood though and knew my sin was wrong but he always lovingly showed me the right way out of the situation. I was rebelling big time, but you know what, Jesus understood why I was sinning even though he did not condone the sin. He knew how I had been so lonely and that it was my first boyfriend in ten years and that I felt so low in self esteem in the relationship area with men that I did what I did, and Jesus knew I would do it. Just like God knew David would sin with Bathsheba....God knew but He did not condone the sin. God is a loving father and wants you to know He loves you and wants you to step out in faith, turn your back on the sin and move towards him. I felt trapped in this relationship as my boyfriend had talked of marriage and was deceptive at times, but you know what? He dumped me!!!!! And then I had to wake up to the fact that sin never pays well, it only HURTS. But God knew i did not have the courage to break up and knew that I had committed my self to a wrong relationship out of hurt. I pray God give you a plan of action as we all need this. I pray that what I have said has resonated with you, if not please just take it as a testimony to encourage which is really what it is meant to do. I don't know your situation but feel to say, I understand what it is like to live in a situation where you want to leave but don't know how. The best thing I have found to do is to write a list of things to do. 1. save 2. pay off debts. 3. organise removalist...for example...... I hope this has blessed you, even though I know this is the prayer section I felt to share this .....I'm so sorry if I spoke out of hand but really felt to say all this. Anyhow bless you heaps...

Cool bananas! And thanks for the reply.

I think we can take it whereever whenever. I mean what if you were in the jungle all by your little lonesome and were ill with some parasite that had crawled up your leg and into your belly button and you needed to take communion (sick joke ) But tis true you know, we all do have these preconceptions around communion, and God is sooooo compassionate and He is everywhere and we are all tied together in the body of christ and His church is not a building of bricks but a building of souls! Bless you for your comments Nubava! Awesome stuff! You can tell I'm still on that holy ghost energy drink can't you!

wowo so good to see ministers here! Isn't God good!

Hi to all! I thought of changing my name to "oh magnificent one" Traveller but it is actually a nick name I've had. But I think perhaps I should change it - I agree wholeheartedly on this one, I shall pray into this Also I went to pray and sat on my bed with a healing study I had been doing and the subject was on communion. I pressed through to read it fighting off the urge to sleep and when I read 1Cor 11:30 which says "for this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many SLEEP" I knew God was talking to me so I took communion and thought on how the Lord died for my healing and good health and I kid you not, I put on some praise music and then I began to stretch my body and as I praised and stretched, I began to feel soooooo good like liquid energy was entering my body (no energy drinks were consumed in this ) - thanks Nubava! Anyhow I know all the advice above is good. I have also been drinking less caffeine (thanks Mia) and drinking herbal teas which have been good for me. I know alot of it has to do with discipline and also spending more time with the Lord. There is a real call to put Him first in my day and get into praise and the word more, so I did this this arv and am extremely rejuvinated by it all. I cannot tell you the importance of taking communion. Only about a month ago I was struggling with what I believed was a demon spirit and I tried everything to get rid of it, fasting, praying, praising, putting the word on all night as I slept.....and it was still manifesting in me, so I took communion and straight away, the struggling and pain stopped and the spirit left. I also believe this was part of a physical ailment and that I was getting alot of anxiety, so I went to the doctor also, so I literally had tried everything, but the communion seemed to help! I was so glad to have done this study this arv. Now comes the discipline, so would appreciate more prayers. Thanks Deborah for your prayers too and for everyones prayers, so grateful to all! And thanks for replying so quick! What a blessing!

Hi all I just want to thank everyone here in advance for their prayers and encouragement. I am not sure what is happening in my life right now. A prophet came to a church I went to one day and I have stayed at this church for nearly two months now since he gave me one of the strongest words I have ever had. THings have been great. Powering on. But one thing has been really dragging me down. In the midst of all this I got the internet on and I ended up on late at night fbooking and so I ended up getting out of it cause it was wasting time. Now My sleep has been totally stuffed and for years, actually all my life I have had trouble sleeping. Sleeping in till midday and then going to bed at midnight. Since April this year my sleep patterns were such that I was going to bed at 9pm and waking around 8am and life was utter BLISS! I realised I am a morning person as I felt so good being up early. But since the late night things (which I have stopped) my sleep is totally stuffed. I feel like I am in a whirlwind of trouble and I have sooo much to do. I am in the middle of making a film and it is going sooo slow cause I frankly just don't have the energy to work on it. This sleep thing is really bothering me as I have been sooooo tired. I tried going to sleep last night early and fell asleep around 10.30pm and then woke up at 11.30am!!! I mean this is ridiculous!!! I have been to the doctor and he has checked my heart as I had chest pains from going to the gym and all the tests came back clear. But this tiredness is really concerning me and I really want to keep doing the things I am called to do. I am in the middle of trying to record a song and I have not had the energy to sing even!!! Anyhow would you guys please join in prayer with me? I really feel this is spiritual as after the prophet came I was praying for hours a day and really spending heaps of time with God. Now I feel so tired that it is so hard to do even 15 mintutes!!!

you're welcome!

thanks True Flight..hope all is well!

I have seen a couple of His shows and have been really impressed. He is Jewish so I like to bless Him anyways as it says to bless His people. But apart from this, my own conversion experience was pretty dramatic seeing the light and having seen Jesus in person, to be honest I did not believe in the supernatural till I was shown Jesus light as a 15 year old and I was a very cynical young woman indeed. I am now 35 and I love the Lord with all my heart and believe that God is a supernatural God. Having said that we should always use discernment, does it line up with the word we should always ask ourselves in my opinion. Shows about hell I stay away from as it says i think in psalms 'whatever is lovely and of good report I think on these things'...but shows on His love and light and power I absolutley love. Having said this too, who am I to judge....if He is lifting up the name of Jesus, let's not knock Him. 'if they are for us they are not against us'....wasn't this a scripture? My paraphrasing is terrible I know, please forgive me. I have some kind of inner babble fish concordance in my mind!

i have the same problemo and have sent you a pm through the help function...obviously

thanks Deborah! I pray against your project from being aborted in Jesus name! Blessings to you and I know that this must be really important to you, timing is important so I pray it all comes together in His time! Blessings

Hi Deborah, wow this is sooo encouraging to me as I am in the middle of making a small video and recording my own song about the father's love, I am dedicating it to my own father and He is really going to be blessed by I think. God is really doing restorative things between daughters and fathers I believe and it is wonderful to know that He is doing great things in your life. Nice to see some singer/song writers on here. Perhaps there should be a forum/topic for Christian artists on here? Blessings

I understand your feelings for sometimes, I get so upset. It seems like you may be in a season of intercession so you can pray for people's eyes to be opened and to see their empty lives for without Jesus people's lives are just full of work,possessions, play, family etc and self in all of this. These things are all gifts from God, but do not allow the burden to depress you...allow it to make you pray and pray for such people. And remember you were born for such a time as this, we all have been and these are the days of Elijah! The days of intense darkness but in the dark, the light can be seen on a hill, so it is best to let your light so shine! Bless you and I hear your heart!

Yes it has been a constant blessing to me too! Thanks for reading it hindsfeet! Bless you!

Hi all, I just wanted to share a vision I had with the Lord the other day and it has stayed with me and in a way has manifested in that I really felt like I had been where the Lord took me in this vision. I sat on my bed the other day with my bible, prayer notebook and healing workbook and was all ready to spend time with God.I was so 'organised' when I laid my head back to pray, then as I closed my eyes I was automatically taken in my spirit I believe to this secluded beach. It was windy and there was long grass on the beach and then I saw the Lord standing next to me as I sat on the beach, my feet playing in the sand. As I turned my head I could see all around me,not like a normal vision that I have had, this was 3D and I could literally feel the breeze on my face. The Lord then chatted with me and said "LEt's just BE! This place (the beach) is in your heart you know" As I sat there just hanging with the Lord He then said to me "daughter, when I was a little boy, did you think I fell over? And I said "um, yes" then He said "well I did, but I got back up again". He then said "you see perfection as never making mistakes, but I see perfection as overcoming"...We then just sat at His beach for the rest of my bible study time. I now return to this place in my heart and feel so much peace and get revelations that really bless me from time to time. Just wanted to share this.

I have made some big changes on line and know God has spoken. I have ended all contact with this man as I feel that the Lord wanted me to. I know for me that He wants me to meet a man in person and start a friendship if there is to be someone for me as a partner in life. But more than anything, Jesus is jealous for my heart and I know that whatever is taking up my time and drawing me away from Him is an idol. SO many things in my life God is working on right now, and I know He is wanting me to focus on my destiny in Him. Maybe this sounds really strict but I know there are certain things that have been stopping me from devoting my heart totally to the Lord. Thankyou for your words of encouragement. I really appreciated them, very much so. God bless you Cholette and I pray that I be able to encourage others on here, as lately things have all been about me of late and I have not felt like giving to others as much, and I hate not being capable of ministering to others. Thanks again....

Yes but he is such a doofus he has no imagination but to copycat the creators amazing works!

I have often wondered about de ja vu too as I used to get this sooo much when I was unsaved and a newby christian. I don't get it nowadays. I cannot recall when last I did. But I do have a theory that is two fold ok so don't think I am alluding to anything about your case ok. I honestly believe that for me, they were spirits in me that had been where I had been at a previous time and once I was set free of them,the de ja vu seemed to happen not so much. Conversely, God is every where at all times, so there could be a Godly version of de ja vu. All I know is is that God is truth and He reveals to us in our own ways of understanding what the truth is. So I would pray about the de ja vu if it is annoying or even puzzling to you. He wants us to be children of light not fumbling around not knowing. I hope this helps. If not please disregard. I know God takes us through our own personal journeys and they are all so different indeed. Blessings

Hi all, I am wondering what to do in a situation with a man I have been chatting on line with. He is a christian and we really enjoy chatting but I really don't want to get emotionally close but He is so sure I could be the one. He has not said it outright but hinted and I am concerned cause I have been in emotional friendships online and have been hurt in the past. It is so difficult to find men in the church and I am enjoying these chats but know that I could be spending time more constructively and I am at a point in my walk with God where I really hunger to spend time with him. Am I being cynical for being sus about this online dating thing or am I on the right track? I'm really wanting love, but don't want to act desperate either. Could someone please shed some light on here for me? It is so hard when it is your own personal life it is easier to give advice to others but yeah...harder to see it for your own life.

I believe He gives liberally to those who ask and if we ask for something from Him He won't give us a stone either.

Well I noticed the other night at a healing meeting by another man with a healing gift. As he asked us to reach out our hands to pray for the people he was laying hands on I could see what he would then speak about as he prayed. I could literally see in the spirit was ailments and spirits people had and got words of knowlege about their illness that were confirmed by the minster who was laying hands on the people. Also too for years I have been massaging friends and friends of friends and have had words of knowlege about people as I massage. It is very exciting and I guess the other night I was really reminded by God to pursue training for this gift so I can apply it on a professional basis and reach out to the unsaved world at the same time. Hope this helps

Thanks Dove!
