That's right He does! Thank you, I appreciate the prayers. You know, I'm so happy with my life..the Lord has blessed me and shownh His love to me in so many ways. I can't deny who He is. I love the Lord with all my heart..I can't go a day without talking to Him, through the good n bad...I can't even imagine my life without His love and guidance. So thankful to be a child of God!!!

Hey all, sad news... This young lady lost her battle to leukemia & kidney disease. I prayed for her as we talked about. In June I moved out of town (4 hours away). Life was a bit hectic with the move and our new journey with homeschooling so I was not able to keep tabs on her and she disappeared off of Facebook. Come to find out she got married in June and died 6 weeks later. Its such a sad story! She was diagnosed in November of 2012 and died July 4th 2013, so tragic! I have to say, it really messed me up. I didn't find out until the end of July. I was speechless and in total shock. Even though I knew the doctors gave her months to live it still hit me in a strange way. I mourned for her but not with tears....I was in such shock. I mourned because I felt a sickening feeling in my gut.....she was not saved and she rejected the Lord. I'm not saying I know for a fact she is not in heaven, I do not know what her last days were like. I mourned for her family...especially her parents, her mother who I know very well. She had a secret life, she was into goth, idolized Marilyn Manson ( heavy metal guy) and hated the fact that christians believed a gay person could be delivered. She always said "you can't change who you are". Its a heartbreaking story but only God knows the end. I just wanted to share.

My heart is heavy as I watch the news right now on the search and rescue at the elementary school in Oklahoma. Please pray for the missing students and teachers. 2 nights ago I dreamt of a bunch of tornados, I know in the dream I was watching from the outside so I knew the tornados did not have anything to do with me or my life. I didn't have time to come post about it. I can't say that it was about these tornados but we should pray regardless. Pray pray pray!! As the stories are being reported my heart is so sad. I am praying for a safe search and rescue!!! Lord send your angels!!!

YES..that is good stuff astra, thank you so much for sharing!!!

That's awesome about Cora!! It gives me confidence to begin praying this lady. Thank you Chollete, your words are encouraging and uplifting. I needed to hear that

I really needed to hear that, thank you Cholette. I believe in what you said. I'm choked up right now. I think I felt inside that I needed to pray for healing. But to be honest, I didn't feel I had the authority. Thats why i posted this. Don't get me wrong, I know the Lord gives us the authority. But I almost feel like I'm not seasoned enough to take this assignment on alone. Because I'm not in a Healing or Inteccesory ministry, you know what I mean? I do believe I'm called to be an intercessor. I even started taking a ministry course last week so i can grow more spiritually. But her life is surrounded by many spirits and I'm thinking I need some type of prayer covering. Am I wrong? I don't have a home church to turn to anyone.

This may sound silly, or seem like a simple thing I can figure out on my own but I honestly do not know how to pray about this. So I was hoping someone can help me with a prayer. I recently found out that an ex co-worker has leukemia, and it's terminal...their giving her 3-6 months to live. to give you the back story, and I'll try to keep it short and simple: She used to be somewhat of a friend during the years I was backsliden. I worked very closely together with her for that company for 9 years, she was my supervisor. I'm not sure if any of you recall me talking about this job when I was employed, but I did ask for prayer that I would find another one. Well, its been a year since I quit that job. when I worked with her over the years I got to really know her personal life more, I was troubled by it. Her social life was NOTHING like her work life and I was not comfortable with her lifestyle at all. I won't go into details but I'll just say it included gay bars and lots of drugs. She herself is not gay, but her siblings are and so she was smack dab in the middle of that world and she loved it. Then when I gave my life back to the Lord she flipped the table on me. She made my life miserable at work, as if she was punishing me for being saved. I spent many many months in warfare because of this lady, the office in general as well. the Lord revealed a lot of things she was doing behind my back. She was so very manipulative, it was a lot more intense all the way up until I quit (thats another story). I can't begin to explain the stress and demonic activity I dealt with from this place, especially from her and her aunt who was another co-worker and she played a lot of mind games with me. I was constantly stuck in this world wind of chaos with the two of them. but This women, the supervisor, was the nicest, sweetest person to my face but behind my back she was conniving. I prayed for 3 years straight for the Lord to release me from that job, and he finally did last year. It was the most amazing feeling!! Now I find out about her terminal illness, she is just a year older than me. I certainly do not wish death on anyone. I feel sad for her family who I know. I have prayed for the Lord to have mercy on her. but that's as far as I get. And I have forgiven her. is that all I should say and do? I just feel like I need to know how to pray about these situations. I think I'm just in shock over all of it. hopefully I make sense, but any guidance and prayer would be appreciated!!

thanks! And I agree sisterinchrist! I hope I didn't come off the wrong way...just wanted to share a different point of view. The show has been such an intense debate among everyone. I rather not debate about it, I respect everyone's opinions and choice to decide to watch or not watch. As with most movie's taken from a book....its never the exact same as the book. The Bible isn't just any book, so it's going to stir up some intense emotions and debate. It stinks that they are breezing through the stories pretty fast, cutting a lot out and changing up some things...but I didn't expect it would be done to the T, especially since its being broadcast on the History Channel. I questioned it right away just because of the History Channel alone.

amen! thank you Cholette

please don't look down on me for this, I respect your opinions very much....my mother feels the same way but for my family The Bible has been somewhat of a blessing to us. It has given ME the chance to open my bible up while sitting next to my unsaved husband and our two kids as a family and read the Word!! I have my bible on my lap while we watch. I've been using my bible to go over the whats being showed and we discuss it. Our children know the miniseries is just a "hollywood" production, and my husband is being exposed to the real truth of God's word by my readings during the show. This has been the only opportunity for our children to sit and read the bible with their dad. And it has been a great stepping stone for interesting discussions between my husband and I and I'm so grateful for that. Anyway, just my point of view

thank you Astra

Mia you have personally been a blessing to me along with your amazing site. Its only right that I continually keep you in my prayers. Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you, and keep you; The Lord make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.’

Good morning brothers and sisters in Christ, I have a prayer request for a bump I have on my back that I just noticed yesterday after feeling a sharp pain in my back while I was driving. Its very red, hard, warm and so very painful. My husband can't see any bite marks so it doesn't look like a spider bite. It could be nothing, could be an in grown hair, although I do not have a hairy back and have never had anything on my back like this. but last week I had a crazy experience when I was sleeping. It was early in the morning and I was startled out of my sleep by a loud bang. It sounded like and felt like someone shot me in the back and it literally jolted my body and woke me up and I turned to look behind me. It was so loud and very realistic! I'm not worried, I'm just asking to agree with me in prayer over this bump in Jesus name! Also, I do not have health insurance to get it checked out and the enemy has been attacking our finances lately and we have a really big move coming up soon so please help me cover my husband and finances in prayer since he is the sole provider. thank you Blessings!!!

YES EXACTLY!!!

This is exactly where I'm at right now. It has been a great lesson for me to learn how to wait but I think I have it down now. I asked the Lord to help me through this "waiting" thing. And its funny that Dreamster mentioned having a word to stand on thats personal to you that will sustain you....that is exactly what I asked the Lord for....a WORD!! I almost thought it was selfish of me to ask for that. But the Lord gave me that word I asked for. And i believe He did it because He saw my heart. I have a desire to be taught and led by the Lord, I asked for help and he gave it to me. He also told me to be aggressive in prayer and worship through this time. So during my waiting, I worship in prayer and song. Oh how I love HIM!!!!

Oh Deborah I am so sorry for your loss. I am a HUGE dog lover, and I have also mourned the loss of 2 dogs in my life that I have very special memories with. I know the sadness your feeling. Big hugs!!

I know!!! The Message version is sometimes hit or miss for me, but when it's on...IT'S ON!!

WOW!! I am so happy that worked out for you all.

I've been feeling a bit like Romans 7:17-24 but Praising my God for verse 25 , and soaking every word in from Chapter 8, trying to marinate in it so that I DON"T go back to feeling like Romans 7:17-24 haha!!!!! Romans 7: (The Message) 17-20 But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. 21-23 It happens so regularly that it’s predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God’s commands, but it’s pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge. 24 I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question? Verse 25 The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different. Romans 8: 1-14 1-2 With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death. 3-4 God went for the jugular when he sent his own Son. He didn’t deal with the problem as something remote and unimportant. In his Son, Jesus, he personally took on the human condition, entered the disordered mess of struggling humanity in order to set it right once and for all. The law code, weakened as it always was by fractured human nature, could never have done that. The law always ended up being used as a Band-Aid on sin instead of a deep healing of it. And now what the law code asked for but we couldn’t deliver is accomplished as we, instead of redoubling our own efforts, simply embrace what the Spirit is doing in us. 5-8 Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored. 9-11 But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won’t know what we’re talking about. But for you who welcome him, in whom he dwells—even though you still experience all the limitations of sin—you yourself experience life on God’s terms. It stands to reason, doesn’t it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he’ll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ’s! (MY favorite part) 12-14 So don’t you see that we don’t owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. There’s nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life. God’s Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go!!!!!!!!!

I'm right there with you sister!!

Happy Belated Birthday Cholette!!!!!!!

Happy 2013!!!
