Absolutely right Christa...this really moved me to take an independent stand for Israel....I had a prophetic dream about America, being inticed to go along with Egypt and Russia, in fact in the dream Russia was running the show. Then I had a dream of a sower sowing seeds...three times I awoke from the same sign, a sower sowing seeds. I am convince that this is all a part of the same thing and yes. We are to intercede and do what we are able to support our Israel. Is it ok if I share what you have had to say here with my friends and family? I will wait for a reply. I hope everyone who reads this has ears to hear. amen

My pleasure ;)

CAST YOUR CARES ON THE ONE WHO CARETH FOR YOU. Don’t hand over your power to the enemy~ a repost How do we hand over power to our enemy? By insisting on our own preconceived ideas. By setting ourselves up all throughout the day to for wins and losses, again and again. By holding others accountable to be judged by our standards. By making provision for sin. We do it to ourselves day after day, month after month and year after year. We own it; it belongs to us, and it is so not from God. The enemy keeps us in a whirlwind of struggle, with our minds engaged in our problems instead of entering in to the peace that passes all understanding. How often do we choose to stay wrapped up in our struggles and playing the same game over and over again instead of making the giant leap of faith which is actually to apply the word of God in our lives? Actually to cast our cares on the God who loves and cares for us, and to ignore the tacks in the path that the enemy constantly throws our way. “Greater is He who is in me than he that is in the world….” As children of the living God, we are instructed to keep our mind on the higher things (what is good and pure and of good report). Instead of honoring those instructions, we set ourselves up for continual anger throughout the day. Many of us walk through each day as if it were a contest, or even worse, as if we are walking through a mine field. “I will be angry if I don’t make that traffic light.” “I will be angry if I get one more bill in the mail…if that car pulls in front of me…if I forgot something at the store… if the line at the bank is long…if I forgot my wallet in the car…if, if, if.” Do we forget that we are created in God’s image and that God has given us instructions on how to walk through the day, really? Do we know who we are in Christ Jesus? Jesus was tested in the wilderness for 40 days, and we cannot go through even one day without complaining about insignificant things that happen in this very day that the Lord has made? Truly we need to say to ourselves; “This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!” And we need to mean what we say. We need to pray for a passion for God’s heart in us, and the desire to walk in thankfulness for all that Christ has done to give us, His children, good things. For everything good is from God. Shall I find fault with my brother, talk about my sister, roll my eyes at my husband (just an example), grumble about the bills? God tells us that when we can be faithful in the small things, He will give us charge over the larger things. Walking through the day being angry at every little thing that does not go our way is ruining the quality of our life. It is dangerous for our health and it is a shallow way for an ambassador for Christ Jesus to live, for it is ruining our ability to shine the light of Christ on others. How can we shine if we are too busy being ugly? Really! As Christians we have an enemy that seeks to destroy us. If the enemy cannot destroy us, he will work very hard to destroy our walk with Christ, and to make sure that we do not draw others to Christ by leading us into this life-choice to continually be angry with the little things that go wrong in our daily life. This should not be. We have the power of the living God inside of us. We have the ability to do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Shall we then begin again…to honor God and walk in this light? Shall we make a choice to walk in God’s ways and in His peace? Or will we choose to continue in our own way? Life is too short to choose our own way. I am listening to the words that God has given to my heart, and I am choosing to begin again. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. We can do this. Let us not make provision for sin.

Still keeping you n brother in prayer, from way over here in Northern California.!!!!

We pray salvation for D's brother, Lord begin even now blessing His heart and preparing his heart to recieve you Lord. We bind the spirit of lies and deception in the POWER OF THE NAME OF JESUS ABOVE ALL NAMES...and ask Lord that your angels minister to him day and night to recieve the good news and protect him from the lies of the evil one. Pour your spirit out on the family Lord and draw them all unto you. The Angels in Heaven will rejoice when your brother comes into Heaven...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your house will be save. In Jesus Holy name, Amen

Amen Amen Amen....We Love you Father!!!!!

Keep your focus on J E S U S....thats the instruction that I keep hearing. I was given a shiny white new car a few days ago. at a hard time in my life and this morning in prayer I felt led like maybe the car itself (a gift from God) was a message so I did some research on the name, Ford Focus. My husband helped me. We looked up the origin of "Ford" and in Old English (not sure about Latin) but in old English it showed up as "hlaford" which looks wierd, the first part of the word means "Soldier" and the 2nd part of the word means "Lord" and of course we know what focus means... we are in the army of God and we need to keep our focus on our Lord!!! I So Keep your focus on our Lord D and I will be praying for blessings for you too brother. God bless!!!

I just want to say....as I was driving today and contimplating all of this the Holy Spirit brought back something that I have been learning in my life and it is about the seeds that we get....and what we do with them. we take the word of God and we plant it in our heart and we read that word and believe that word....and then we actually implement that word into our lives we begin to walk the truth of that word into our life...and as we activate, or demonstrate our faith through obedience, actually walking in the ways of God, the fruit begins to grow. A tree is known by its fruit. But we dont want to pick the fruit prematurely...clearly the fruit would not be ready, would not be perfect. The fruit needs to be mature and ready for harvest..... The timing is important. The fruit is important. so important that when Christ saw a fig tree and the tree was not producing the fruit like it should he destroyed it. I use to think that was a bit radical but it is not... Watching the miracles of God begin from the seed of truth and faith and watching them blossom and then continue on to a ripe and perfect fruit worthy of harvest. That is when you share the miracle that God has done...wait for it. Stay in the Lord and wait on the Lord and when the fruit is ready for the harvest.......then share in all of God's glory...wait for it, it will come. That is what came to me as I was driving today. bless you.

Amen!!!!

I agree Sirianta, and the truth is, the people in the Bible had bad attitudes and messed up just like we do, even the patriarch's we are all hopelessly flawed without the grace of Christ Jesus...Praise God for His kindness and longsuffering toward humanity, thats what I say!!!! Hope you have a great day!!!

The Israelites had already been captured and taken into captivity when this Psalm was written and but still harbored bitterness ~ they were bitter at remembering all the evil that had been done to them and wishing vengence on the ones who had done this against them. What the psalmist was saying basically, "the ones who get to pay you back (dash your babies against the rocks) will be happy to get their revenge" basically. "Oh Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us-he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." Psalm 137 8-9 Hope this helps with your friend.

This discussion has been encourageing for me. I know God is allowing me to go through some changes right now...I know I have been mistreated and not understood, judged and judged wrongly. It has been crushing for me. But I also know it truly has been for a season and a reason. I watched a Public Television special tonight about one hundred and fifty women who were trapped in a fire in a clothing factory in New York in the early 1900's... and I thought of those poor girls and their moms and Aunts and sisters all jumping from skyscrapers....and it wasnt there fault. They were mistreated and then I thought about Dreamster and the earthquakes in New Zealand and how those people shouldnt have suffered and this forum really encouraged me to keep walking...one foot in front of the other. Praise God!!!

thank you all for your prayers

May the Glory of the LORD rise amongy us brothers and sisters!!!!!amen amen amen.!

Praise our beautiful Lord, for the love that He has for humanity. !!!!!!! The JOY of the LORD is our strength....Praise God!!!!!

Regarding wanting Gods divine will for our lives....what is our true destiny while we walk this earth in this lifetime? My husband and I have been struggling with this, after fifteen years of marriage in the same home and in the same town...now we are sensing that God has more for us to do than to raise our children (all 8 are married and or moved on in their own independent lives).... God called me to write and publish the book "Its A God Thing...MY SHEEP WILL HEAR MY VOICE. And now we believe God has something else around the corner, we may be moving, touring speaking and spreading the Gospel through whatever way Christ leads... We never thought we'd do this, the truth is that we are both not comfortable thinking of leaving our nest and following Christ wherever He leads.....but in this discomfort, is our longing heart. My prayer is not my will Father, but THY will. Pray for us please...we may not have to say good bye to our home, our town and our comfort zone, but If God wants us to, I want to embrace it with all of my heart. http://lulu.com/product/paperback/its-a-god-thing-my-sheep-will-hear-my-voice-2nd-edition/14456456

Praise God Praise God Praise God, I am so happy for you John...God's Holy annointing of Joy came to my heart as well....I could feel it from my friend's little but lovely annointed message from the heart. Thank you all who prayed for my friend Carrie.....your faithfulness in Christ is a blessing....and all GLORY and HONOR....goes to the King of Kings....Jesus. The Joy of the LORD is my strength!!!!! praise God!!!!!

I can see the motive of our heart is important to God. We all get it wrong at times, even the patriarchs in the Bible, to me that is inspiring!!!

I am so happy, I am sharing my email that I got from my friend Carrie, just a few minutes ago. I told her that my friends had been praying for her joy to be restored. She had an accident and has been very diabled since November. Here is the beautiful letter that I got from her a few moments ago. I wanted to thank you all for praying. Linda, I hadn't been up to my hen house since early November when I fractured my ankle. Yesterday, I carefully walked up there, brought my hens some weeds, fed them, and gave them some fresh litter in their boxes. They haven't laid a single egg since that day in November. Today however, I went back up with some more greens and SURPRISE! A single brown egg laid waiting for me! Joy! Later, I went out to my struggleing little citrus grove (very little). My son and I were stringing Christmas lights upon them to protect them from the coming cold. My tiny little lemon tree was covered with lemons! Sadlly, one of the branches broke away from the trunk so I decided to pick all the lemons. I tossed them in a basket and looked over and saw daffadils blooming and decided to pick some. I placed in the basket with the lemons and looked down and saw the beauty of all the bursting yellow colors. On such a cold February day, I felt my heart surge with JOY! I realized then, that for the first time in a long time, I felt that enJOYment that only God can give in the simple tasks of the day. Thank you Lord Jesus for such a wonderful gift. And thank you Linda for your prayers. LOve you, Carrie

James...I love the idea of framing that scripture and hanging it on a wall...it is very hard for my mind to grasp that scripture...it is challenging to me....but then again, I have hope, because with God all things are possible !! :)

Yes Owen...powerful truth. Both are powerful truth.....food for our spirit man. For man does not llive by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. So we feed our spirit man with the word of God....(the milk) and then we walk that word, obey those words and walk them (the meat)....and that is the food to grow into a mature Christian...
