Christa

Thank you very much for your prayers. God hears us! "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and change their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive them and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 It's all about seeking His beautiful face. He loves our intimacy. All I can say is I want MORE...MORE...MORE of Him and His presence! Thank you Holy Spirit for your miraculous ways!

Just wanted to give Jesus Christ the praise and glory! 50,000 Muslims were supposed to show up at Capital Hill on Friday 9/25/09 for a "Day of Prayer." This was the first time ever that this was allowed by a president. God rarely, in fact, this was the first time that God put anything political on my heart to pray about. I posted a prayer request about 2 weeks ago to help me pray regarding this event. I didn't really know how to pray about it, but the first thing I asked God was for those gathering to sleep through their alarm clocks. God is so good you guys because less than 2,000 people showed up that day (and not all at the same time). There was a big stage there and everything, but the place was dead. God is so good. He knows what He wants us to do and He places it so gently on our hearts with perfect timing. Thank you Jesus! "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and change their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive them and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

WOW!!!!!!!!!! It seems like God even made her taller right?! Didn't he lengthen the longer leg first?! She should measure herself, she's probably two inches taller! Praise God! I love miracles!

You're right Jubilee...we shouldn't get into foolish arguments. I was trying to be lighthearted when I said that---->I'm serious. It's hard to read people through e-mail. I do love Lurdys. She's helped me through a lot on this forum. Seriously, I was trying to be lighthearted then. Can we start over? Please? I've cried about this once today already and I'm getting ready to cry a second time. I just want people to pray for the upcoming Muslim event.

Lurdys, I don't want to get any further away from the point. So, I'm just going to love you whether you like it or not. Not a big deal, water under the bridge. If you're just tuning in, some 50,000 people are going to be praying to a god that isn't ours and I believe that God wants to get the word out to the body of Christ to start praying now for Him to have his way on 9/25.

I certainly don't believe that all Muslims are violent, but Allah is. Allah is satan in disguise no matter how you look at it. I used to rent a room out of a house where the people were Muslims. I can't even tell you the amount of demonic attacks I had in that house. Not to mention pestilence (scorpions, rats, and horseflies). They were the nicest people in the world and they LIKED me. They bought me presents when they went on vacation. If I was late on my rent, they wouldn't charge me, they were really sweet people. However, they didn't LOVE me and they never would until they came to Christ. My undertone is I HATE SATAN and I hate how he works through cults. If the Buddhists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Hindu's, Wiccans were scheduling a prayer day in front of the White House, my prayer request above would've been the same. I have acquaintances that belong to each of these cults I've mentioned. God loves these people. I'm from California...I'm no hillbilly with a shotgun that is completely ignorant of different cultures. In fact, my family is a medly of European, Mexican, Hawaiian, Jewish and Philipino. Not all people from the middle east or Africa are Muslims. Wow, are you kidding me? I was heavily involved in witchcraft about a decade ago and I was delving into Buddhism. God loved me so much and it was people praying for me, counteracting the evil that was trying to devour me, that brought me back. I was a mental case and suicidal. All cults have people in them being devoured by satan and the devouring will continue if we don't get on bended knee, come together and break the devil's back. Even if one Christian doesn't show up to protest the Muslim day of prayer on the 25th, I don't really care. As long as Christians stand in agreement in prayer to thwart the devil's plans, we don't have to be there, unless God specifically calls us to be there. Jesus stands in the gap for us in our warfare. God will move in this rally, not Allah, not satan, if we come together and come into agreement with one another. For the record, I LOVE MUSLIMS. I love them, I love them, I love them, and there's nothing the devil can do about that. If we want to keep the focus on me and my "undertones," then that's giving the devil the foothold that he wants. He doesn't want us to agree. He wants us to disagree so that the warfare won't be so great for him. I knew I would get this kind of backlash when I wrote this prayer request. However, when God tells you to do something, you just gotta do it and that's what I did. I pray in utmost sincerity that my words fall to the ground on this forum and that Jesus will shine through and give us direction on how to pray regarding this matter. That the Holy Spirit will speak to our hearts and give us revelation as to what to petition our God, the God of Abraham and Isaac, on behalf of the Muslims.

I agree that we must pray for love and guidance for all men and women. However, first and foremost, we need to pray for their salvation. A Muslim's "guidance" is from Allah = not Almighty God. 50,000 people are going to be praying to Allah in front of the White House on 9/25. Muslims love their own, they don't love Christians. Christians are their mortal enemies, spiritually speaking. The man leading this day of prayer was a Muslim extremist back in the day. Muslim extremists are the ones that strap bombs to people and tell them to go on a bus with a bunch of civilians in order to do the will of Allah. Christians are pagans in the eyes of Muslims. There is going to be a release of satanic power when the Muslims petition and glorify Allah on that day. I don't want a release of satanic power on our country. We already have enough murder, torture, perversity, and sickness here in the USA. Irregardless of whether Muslims pray to Allah for peace or for every Christian and Jew to be wiped off the face of the planet, they're still praying to and petitioning satan (Allah). I don't understand what you meant when you wrote "Only love, faith, and hope remain!" You put an exclamation point at the end of it as well, maybe to put me in my place, but I don't understand what you meant. Love, faith, and hope NEVER EVER come from Allah. They can pray and petition to Allah for this as well as for guidance until they are blue in the face, but they will NEVER get any of the fruit of the spirit (which include faith, hope, and love). The fruit of the spirit comes from God Almighty, never from Allah or any other god. We need instead to come together and thwart satan's plans to spread islamic infuence over our country. We need to come up with our own prayer to break the devil's back and get these Muslims saved by the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

I stand in agreement with Connie and Cholette, and we thank you Lord for your release of D's inheritance.

So, Dreamster, any answer to prayer yet? How's it going?

On Friday 9/25/09 at 4am at the National Mall, 50,000 Muslims will have their first prayer day before the White House. President Barack Obama is VERY supportive of this. I believe that we need to start warfare right now, because there are going to be many curses placed on the US through these prayers. Bob Jones says that the Jewish Day of Atonement starts at 6pm sundown until 6am sunrise on Sunday 9/27/09. He says for us to have our pens and papers ready because God is going to hand out instructions for the year to come for those who will be promoted. He said that every year we pass under the shephard's rod and either get promoted or demoted (only 10% of Christians get promoted). This Muslim's know the function of the Day of Atonement and they're going to try and screw up God's plans for us and our country. On Kathy Walter's website there is a clip of an article that I'd like to show you regarding President Obama's support of Islam. I love President Obama and I've been praying for him. I know that he has a chance to be the greatest president of the United States. However, I don't want Christians to have to battle certain warfare after the Muslims place their curses on us during their organized Day of Prayer. I don't know exactly how to pray about this, maybe we can come together and come up with the right prayer to quash the enemy's plans with this rally. Please take this article clipping with a grain of salt and help me to pray for our nation in order to offer up blessings to the US and not curses - Thanks, Christa: "According to Charisma Magazine, Oklahoma pastor Reza Safa is calling the Capitol Hill event a "slap in the face of Christianity." "It is a mockery of the Christian faith," Safa told the magazine. "It's a mockery of all of it. In a sense, I'm happy for it because the church needs to wake up before it's too late." The prayer day website says, "The Athan will be chanted on Capitol Hill, echoing off of the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument and other great edifices that surround Capitol Hill. "Our Time Has Come." Obama repeatedly has denied he is a Muslim. His presidential campaign website contained the statement, "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian." But as WND has reported, [color:53dc=blue ! important][color:53dc=blue ! important]public [color:53dc=blue ! important]records in Indonesia listed Obama as a Muslim during his early years, and a number of childhood friends claimed to the media Obama was once a mosque-attending Muslim. In Obama's autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," he acknowledged studying the Quran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school." "In the Muslim school, the [color:53dc=blue ! important][color:53dc=blue ! important]teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Quranic studies," wrote Obama. In an interview with the New York Times, Obama described the Muslim call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset." The Times' Nicholos Kristof wrote Obama recited, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent," the opening lines of the Muslim call to prayer. The first few lines of the call to prayer state: Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! I witness that there is no god but Allah I witness that there is no god but Allah I witness that Muhammad is his prophet ... Some attention also has been paid to Obama's paternal side of the family, including his father and his brother, Roy. Writing in a chapter of his book describing his 1992 wedding, Obama stated: "The person who made me proudest of all was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.""

My heart feels like it's tearing.... I'm so broken up for my friend. I've cried so much for her today that I have a headache now. Please pray for my friend....she doesn't have the money to pay for the funeral and her sister and her already got into it tonight over that. My friend takes care of her grandmother who is bedridden 24/7. My friend needs a break from her responsibilities as well as in her finances. Her husband and her can barely afford their mortgage payment each month. Her husband is not very mature and has been quite a burden on her. She has three daughters, an immature husband, an inept grandmother, and now, no parents. She seriously needs a break, a release of these burdens in some way. My heart is in the pit of my stomach for my friend and it aches. Please help me pray for her to get through this time with ease and to come out of this victoriously.

THX as always D

If you guys could pray for her. My friend is 35 and is turning 36 on Sunday. She never had a father and her mother was an alcoholic. My friend had to mother herself and really didn't have a childhood. I don't know what her mom died from. I just found out a couple of hours ago and she couldn't talk for long. My friend is a born again believer and she has been a great support system to me. She's feeling guilty that she didn't get to see her mom before she died. She's a mess and I feel so bad for her. Please help me pray for her. Thanks.

Amen to that! Glory to God!

I told him it's best not to call or e-mail each other. Although it makes me sad, I feel it's for the best.

So, Cholette......how's it going with the warfare? You ok? :babymonkey:

I need a prophetic word and quick. I did some writing for this guy and I'm supposed to be helping him out with his website. He's a mormon, and he's laying it on pretty thick with me. I figure there's not much use in arguing theology, because mormon's just touch and go on the Bible and they land back on the BOM. So, I'm consistently trying to let him know how much Jesus loves him and sharing with him my experiences that have shown Jesus' compassion for me. He's a nice guy and he considers me a friend already. He's also "psychic" from what he tells me....he confirmed this with me a couple of days ago. I saw a spirit (or a vision....I usually don't see stuff) of a young boy the day before yesterday and he told me that it was my sister-in-law's unborn child hanging around their house. I'm pretty sure it was a vision I saw, and if he is right (I'll know in 6/7 years I guess), then he truly has this gift. I have a similar gifting (seer), I don't usually see things, but I feel things like other people's pain and their healing at times. So it's like were both football players, playing on opposite teams. He wants to convert me to become a mormon and he's not lead by the Holy Spirit with his gifting; and I want to convert him to become a Christian and I am lead by the Holy Spirit. The problem I'm having is that I feel like he's attracted to me, and I'm feeling a little attracted to him. He says really flattering words. He even said a couple of days ago, "My intentions would never be to take you away from your husband." Most people on this site know that I'm separated from my husband, so flattery from a man is hard to pass up. When this guy said that to me, I felt kind of a scared feeling. I'm drawn to him in a weird, infatuated sort of way. I feel like he's trying to draw me into him. I think he might be a necromancer and is asking his dead family what to do with me and getting advice. He says he sees spirits of old relatives in his place at night. Sometimes up to one hundred at a time. He says that they tell him he's not doing enough. My reaction to him telling me was, "Wow, that's exhausting! How can anyone sleep with that racket?" He says he's also seen Jesus three times, which I want to believe. He's a kind guy and I want to be sensitive to his feelings, but something isn't right obviously. I don't know if God wants me to give up on the friendship, or to help him find Jesus. I don't know if "I'm the one" to help him. Maybe I'm the only one, being that I'm probably one of the few he talks to about these types of things. I feel like if I abandon this friendship, it'll really damage him. I don't want to damage him, but I'm wondering what God wants there, if God wants me around this guy at all. I want a word from the Lord because I want to feel peace about making a decision there. I won't decide what to do until I feel peace in my heart about the right thing to do. Please help if you have a word for me.

Well, the judge granted me the continuance. I picked up divorce papers as well with a fee waiver so that I won't need to pay the court fees to file (some $350- they say). So, I have the temporary restraining order on him for another month as long as he gets served. I'm going to get that done right away. I have a couple of things I need to pick up from the house we shared, but not much. I thank God that the continuance was granted with ease. I didn't even need to go before the judge. I'm still at a critical point though, because I'm severly depressed about this. Thank God that He's in control and that He'll hide my daughter and I and protect us. I know it's a victory that I got the continuace, but I'm having a hard time rejoicing. I'm incredibly sad. I don't know what's going to happen next. I have a praise report though. I got another job. I quit that crusty law firm about 3 days ago and God got me into a new place making the same double portion blessing amount as before. Glory to God! Thank God that He provides all of our needs according to His riches! I'm pleased with that. Thank you all for your support. Please hold my husband in prayer. I don't want him to kill himself or anything. He's told me that he would do that. So, please pray for him too. Thanks everyone.

You know what, you're right Cholette. When you wrote about the love chapter..God put that on my heart the other day in regards to my husband. I feel like my husband and I have been unequally yoked. Maybe in God's eyes a human divorce is like an annulment when we're unequally yoked. What does light have to do with darkness anyway? I'm going to do what I can today to get the fee waiver for a divorce. I found out this morning that I can still go before the judge today and ask for a continuance on the Temporary Restraining Order so that I can obtain legal assistance. Please everyone......please pray that the judge has mercy on me and grants me the continuance. I can reapply for the TRO if he doesn't grant it, but that's a lot of work. I'm going to court in about an hour. Thank you for your continued prayers.

I'll try. I really will.

I'm too burned out to be angry Cholette, which kind of scares me. I muster up strength by re-directing my anger usually. I can't even be angry. I'm just weak, tired, and fatigued. God hates divorce and I hate myself, that's all I can think. Why would I do something that God hates. He doesn't even permit divorce, only for certain circumstances, and abuse isn't one of them. I may never go back to live with Todd, which may push him into adultery, which will in turn show probable cause for a divorce....but is that what God wants? It says in the Bible that if we have to leave, it should only be for a short time, then come back together. I don't know. What I do know is that my daughter can't be put in the middle of this. That's one thing I do know. So, I can't go there. I can't reconcile. I have to get a divorce and displease God or else I'm a bad mother. My choice is that I'm either a bad mother, or a bad Christian. That's what I'm hearing in my head and from so many people. It might not be said that way, but that's how it feels. I have my first divorce STILL hanging over my head and it's been a decade. Now, a second divorce? Ahhh man, this completely sucks. I must be the biggest idiot in the freakin' universe to even think that I could get married again and have a happy marriage. I'm depressed and I can't sleep well. It's not that I don't appreciate what's been said. I do. I just feel like the dichotomy in my mind on whether to divorce or not hasn't been addressed in a way that I can understand it. I don't want to hurt God any more than I already have.

Thank you so much. I needed to hear that too. I really did. I might go to the court hearing anyway tomorrow and explain to the judge what happened and see what he says. Maybe he'll have some insight for me too. Thanks again for all of your help.

IRL: My husband and I are separated, but not legally. He has been very nice to me for the last couple of weeks and he kept saying he was a changed man and so forth. Well, he's been acting like the old Todd today and I lost it and screamed at him. I even cussed him out and hung up on him. I told him that I had a restraining order on him as well--->I had a temporary restraining order on him which ends tomorrow that allowed him no visitation. However, I never served him the order because my dad told me not to, so he was allowed to see her whenever he wanted. My dad wanted me to hide it from him and serve him at the very last minute. I agreed, but now I've passed the time allowance. After I told him I had a restraining order on him, he said that he was going to retaliate somehow and get friends to help him with lawyers. I talked him out of that and promised him that nothing was going to be done about the restraining order, that it was a "just in case" sort of thing (which is what it turned out to be). He seems more calm, but the tension is still there. He's still angry at me for getting it in the first place. Because my husband promised to be nice and sweet from now on and his actions were proving it until today, we talked about getting back together, but slowly. I would go up on the weekends and stay at my folk's house during the week. The problem is, he thinks that because I don't have a job now (I quit last week because my boss is in trouble with the DA, so I had to go), that I'm ready to move back in with him full time. I even told him maybe, but honestly, I'm not ready, at least today. I don't think God wants me to divorce this man. I had a dream during a nap today. I was in my car and my daughter was in the backseat. My foot slipped on the brake peddle and I had to recover my foot and brake quickly. Violet was a little jolted, but she was fine. I was jolted too because I almost hit a blue minivan in front of me. A lady cop was right behind me and pulled me over. I rolled down my window, but she wasn't interested in me really. She was concerned about my daughter. She tried to open the backseat door to check on Violet, but the door was obstructed somehow and she could only crack it. I told her that I was glad to see her (the cop) because "I lost my footing and I was pretty jolted by the experience." She kept saying, "huh" and "what," like she really didn't care. Then she started calling my car in like she didn't trust that I was a good mom. I was scared that they were going to take Violet away from me. This dream really scared me. Mia's dictionary says that what happens in your car usually happens in your waking reality. I consistently pray for my husband and my situation. I love Jesus, but I'm so tired of praying about this part of my life. I wish that my husband would divorce me and move far away, so that I could move on with my life. I don't want to work on my marriage. I don't have the desire when I've had only two good weeks with him (these have probably been the best two weeks of our entire marriage btw). I really don't think God wants me to divorce or even separate from this man permanently. I don't understand that whatsoever. The words, "I hate you," came out of my mouth today towards my husband. I need prayer, but I thought I'd put this in the dream section. Maybe I'll put it in both. Please help me pray because I seriously don't have the energy to do this anymore with this man.

Wow...something must be happening over there with Bowe. I wrote this almost a month ago and no replies until today. Maybe God's moving things in Bowe's favor right now and calling us to pray. I'm not the best intercessor, but when I have someone on my heart, I certainly try to pray for him/her. I hope that everything turns out ok for Bowe and that he has a safe return to his base. My heart hurt for him the first time I saw him on TV. God please keep him safe and alive! Please Jesus.

Amen! I second that! Thank you Jodi for coming into agreement with me for Bowe. God bless you.
