AMEN DOVE.... I'd like to add a little more to that....

What change is experiencing is the same thing that Jacob experienced when he wrestled with the "man" (or the angel). Jacob was a deciever, a trickster by all accounts and now his back was up against the wall, fearing his brother was coming with 400 men to kill him. He begged and pleaded with God but Jacob was not delivered from himself until he surrendered to God. Until he stopped fighting....read the story change, it's a good one Genesis 32.

Change, I have been there. I've been in your shoes, I've been a "Jacob" before. I've been so angry with God for what I thought He was doing to me....all I could do is cry out "why are you doing this to me" and I cried many...many...many nights. But you know, God is not moved by our tears, He's moved by our faith (yes, He's merciful and feels your pain). I know it seems dark in your spirit but trust me when I say If you just start with a simply "I SURRENDER LORD" and just let go you will see that things will change...tomorrow, you ask. Maybe not, it depends on you and if you're truly ready to surrender. Please, read the story about Jacob because it will tell you right where you are. God does love you and He is being very patient with you and unlike us humans, that patience will never wear then. He will stay right there with you in that dark place until you're ready to move (even if you make your bed in hell God is with your - Psalms 139)

I love you change and I'll continue to pray for you...no matter what.

To all the others who posted here. Dove is right. We must love change through this, no matter how frustrated YOU get. Sometimes we think the answer is simple but when you're battling with yourself and sin it's a difficult thing to handle...come on, now we've all battled with something haven't we? This is a sensative time for change that could utimately turn him toward God or away from God. PLEASE don't encourage his decision away from God by being the "frustrated angry Christian" We all know some of those kind, right?

I wish you peace and love.

And that's the beauty of Christ Lola21st, that He already considered our sins and mishaps when he created us. That nothing can surprise Him (thank God).

These are things that I know and have studied but just needed a refresher. THANKS TO YOU ALL for feeding my spirit.

I've been going through so much and I've been declaring and decreeing (read my other posting) and fighting "the good" fight. But the other day the spirit of the Lord spoke and said to me that it was Christ that I wrestled with. I went and studied Genesis 32 how a man (Angel of God) wrestled with Jacob and God revealed to me that my battle was a battle of my own desires vs His. (now you wanna talk about being humbled). Then the spirit of the Lord started telling me how I have manipulated situations and people to try to get to a place that He'd already prepared for me.

I confessed it to be true and repented my sins (that's why I asked if sometimes your confession makes you feel like you've fail in your faith).

But like you said Lola21st, God does not condemn us, instead He loves us enough to correct us and our confession frees the spirit of sin, pride, etc so that the love of God can purifiy us.

Sounds like I go it, huh?

YOU BETTA PREACH IT THEN CHOLETTE!

Like Jadams said, that was something to ponder over today.

Sometimes my confessions make me feel like I failed in my faith walk. Do you guys ever experience that?

Thanks you guys...that was helpful. Especially the part about not going back to get them...

I know that we are suppose to confess our sins to God so that he may forgive us. My question is when the Bible says "Cast your cares upon Him because He cares for you" does that mean confessing something that you're worried about?

Thanks for your answers....

I stand in agreement with you lovetoworshipjesus. Amen!!!!

That's right, we need to get so tired of being trampled on by the enemy (especially since he had already been defeated) that we should declare the Word of God daily. The Word says to resist the devil and he shall flee from thee. How do you resist him....by overpowering him with the Word of God....AMEN!!!

AMEN...AMEN...AMEN. Now we have some warriors in here....PRAISE GOD! Keep 'em coming....we gone make the enemy run away with his tail between his legs before it's all over....

Thank you Dove. Remember to keep me in your prayers.

Thanks Cholette,

I stand in agreement with your declaration. I was feeling so down that day that I had to fight back declaring the word of God over my life.

Thanks for sharing your declaration!

Blue504, today my day started off just as yours. I was so in the dumps I felt like throwing in the towel...but I remembered something. We are children of the most high God who sent His son to the cross to save us. We are part of a royal family and we have heavenly beings that fight this fight on our behalf.

See, the Word says that sometimes we must encourage ourselves. I know it's hard (I too am a single mother facing a layoff) but I refuse to give place to the enemy. Praise God right in the midst of what you're going through. With every piece of strength you have left today raise your hands and start to praise Him. This will break that spirit of depression right off of you and open the way for blessings.

Go to the fellowship hall and read my declaration. I felt so heavy this morning that I had to declare my victory. You do the same. I stand in agreement with you and all the others who have poured into your life through prayer.

Be lifted...God bless.

(stepping on my soapbox).....

though they slay me, yet will I trust Him.

satan you can try to deter me with a 10% pay cut and the threat of loosing my job. You can try to torture me by causing strife and division between my fiance and me. You can even make subtle suggestions that my daughter's health is failing her. But I know what I know...God is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. When I lean not to my own understanding my Father directs my path. There is no weapon formed against me that shall prosper. Nothing by no means shall hurt me. I WILL NOT BE MOVE!!! God has given me the power to tread over serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy..... so this is your warning satan, you may go about roaming the earth seeking whom you may devour but you have no authority in my life. I plead the Blood of Jesus over my life and all of God's children. I call down my angels from Heaven to intervene on my behalf. The battle is already won. I will rejoice even now. Even now I rejoice. AMEN!

(Stepping off my soapbox)

What do you declare today?

Yes, we both are saved and no we don't live together. I have a very intimate relationship with God.....thanks for your input I will certainly seek God in the matter. Just thought it was rather weird that's all.

Hello all,

I'm seeking some imput on this, it was kinda strange....

Last night I was dreaming that my best friend's family kept telling me that her mother had passed (I had dinner with them last night so maybe that's why they showed up in my dream) but in actuality they kept moving her around so that I couldn't find her. I can't remember all of the dream but that's the part that sticks out. But the most important thing that I'm seeking input on is when I turned over in my bed (I'm not sure if I was completely conscious) to look at the clock it said 1:13....but my eyes saw it like L i e. I remember turning back over and saying to myself why did the clock say that. When I woke up this morning it was the first thing on my mind.

Background: My mate and I had been going back and forth all yesterday about our relationship. He has some serious commitment issues and tries to skirt around the issue of marriage (been together for 5 years). I've recently made up my mind to end the relationship because it's just too taxing so all day yesterday he kept badgering me about I don't connect with him and how marriage always fails and other "excuses". I'm wondering if the clock had anything to do with our conversations.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Ironically, I work in customer service and I am now facing a 10% salary reduction and a possible layoff....I have to admit its been on my mind but I'm trusting God.

Thanks unaday....that's what I was wondering. I will definately pray for clarity....

ohhhh, okay thanks for clarifying....

I'm sorry usemelord, I'm not following. I'll know what? Are you saying I'll know what it means when I get to Vegas?

As a matter of fact I just book a vacation to Las Vegas. I'm leaving in December but I wont know the room number until we actually check in...

Thank you all so very much for the warm wishes!

Please help me out with this one...

In my dream I was being shuffled around a few places but a lot of different people. Each person was showing me different rooms. But I remember all of my escorts kept telling me to remember the numbers 212 and 214. They didn't say why and right now the number has no significance to me. I know that numbers are a symbol of something (not the lottery ) I'm just not sure what. Can anybody help with this?

Thanks,

Thank you so much loa21st....I posted this last week I believe but your prayer is so relavant to today....right on time.

I come into agreement with your prayer, In Jesus name....AMEN!

Desiree,

I recently had a dream about a Bishop. Check out my church shooting dream. I think the body of Christ is under attack and we're suppose to pray for them.

Reepromotions,

I've had the same thing happen to me before. I would wake up in the middle of the night sensing a presence in my room. I could literally sense the presence of these demons in the upper corners of my walls like they were waiting for attack. I would immediately call my down my angels to protect me. I would also ask the Lord to cover my daughter and me under the blood and would turn over and go to sleep.

I think someone mentioned it, they are trying to scare you. But be not afaid! Trust God and know beyond a shadow of a doubt who's you are! You are the daughter of the most high God!!! (Don't be afraid to tell these enemies that either)

The spiritual world is very real and the more you pray, especially in your prayer language the closer you get to it and the fight is more intese. But you are already equipped for the battle. Dove solutions scripture tells you that. Keep fighting my sister, you're on the winning side!
