Jesus you are more powerful than this pain, you are bigger than any infection and you LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!! YOU ADORE YOUR CHILD! Please stretch out your arm and act. God who is mighty to save, mighty to heal.... glorify your name in this situation... glorify your name! I am going to go away and pray without typing :o) I'm standing with you and believing with you... He is God and he is Good, he has you covered. Just believe :o) Praying now... Bless you, Diane

Hi Kym, I was going to delete my last post.... because there I was giving you so much unasked for advice... and I am not even close to walking in your shoes. I'm so sorry! You have probably read it, so I won't delete it, I will leave it there because, even though it shows my weakness (giving advice and talking too much) it also shows that I care, because I do :) I have been unable to come back over the last couple of days. My daughter was baptised yesterday, it was beautiful! We had people everywhere and not a moment to come on here. I have been thinking of you however, heaps, and I am becoming convinced that the man in the tux in your vision was symbolic for Jesus, I believe the vision is showing you the beautiful relationship you have begun with Jesus - the church is his bride, beautifully dressed for her groom, and you are a part of that now. You have just begun this walk, and I think the fact the vision has you just walking down the aisle is indicative of beginnings. The get rid of other suitors is fitting, God is holy and hates anything that we worship in his place... he hates idols - in the bible they were statues of wood or gold, now, they can be anything that we run to instead of him. Would you put your vision in the "dreams to be interpreted" section Kym and see what some of the people who have been doing this longer than I have tell you??? I don't think any more that it is telling you to save your heart for this man... I think it is telling you to set yourself apart for God. Bless you!!!!!! I really do care about you and will continue to pray. :) Much love, Diane -

Hi Kym, Being alone is hard. I guess that is why solitary confinement is a punishment, although, for me at the moment it sounds like a holiday :o) When I was going to have my third child... I learnt something really valuable. Pain hurts less if you relax into it and let go.... (obviously that doesn't apply if you have your hand on a stove) But in childbirth, tensing and fighting the pain is counterproductive. It slows everything down and makes everything hurt more. Why am I telling you that? I have a feeling that in this case, for you it will be the same. Feel, rest and breathe. It will be in stillness and in relying on God that you will find strength. Take some time, focus on God.... ask him to draw near to you, tell him you are hurting... my experience of what he does with that is a large part of why I trust him.... expect him to show up in a very real way... don't give up till he does :o) Maybe download some good Christian music to lift your spirits when you need it too... it is very hard to lift your own spirits isn't it! Do you have Christians near you? Could you invite someone or a family perhaps over for a games night and get to know them, do you go to your local church??? Perhaps you could join a group that meets during the week... I pray that God brings someone who loves him into contact and that you can walk together with this person/group of people. Bless you Kym... I came on here tonight because I was an idiot and watched a Sci-fi thriller with my hubby... and now I can't go to sleep straight away. I will take this to God now... cos' in his company I too will find rest :o) Sometimes what we say to others is what we need to hear ourselves! I pray that God gives you peace in your waiting, I pray he has prepared a wonderful guy for you - and that you will be glad of this time of preparation. Goodnight :o) Diane -

Hi Kym, It is a pleasure to stand in the gap for you :o) A pleasure to take your hand (virtually) and do life with you too. I pray Lord that you will provide more than virtual hands, give Kym people who love you to walk with - please now Lord, please now. I pray that you are having a sunshine day Kym, a peaceful and blessed day... :o) When it comes to the people from you past life, I think you are doing the best thing for now... I pray you might soon be surrounded and upheld by godly people and then you would be able to witness to these friends without risking falling into old ways and being tempted without knowing it. A good, loving community around you would cover you with prayer while ever you had contact with the world... pray for them in the meantime :o) God be with Kym today, protect her with Angels wings, make her faith big Lord, keep her heart safe and strong and saturate her with you. I love your soft heart Kym, and your willingness to submit to God... I pray he will direct your path as he has promised. Blessings to you, and thanks for your prayers for me and for my family.... it is good to have this site isn't it! Diane -

Hi Starlight, We all have things in our lives that we hang onto and tuck away in the dark so no-one will know... thing is that in the dark pockets where we hide them, they rot and make us sick. You have brought your story out into the light and shared it. That took amazing courage! I want to affirm you in that! You are a new Christian and what you did proves that the likeness of Jesus is beginning to overlay your life. I want to show you why if I may? He said: "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God." John 3: 19-21 see the part in red... for fear that their deeds will be exposed, that is where most of the population lives... with hidden stuff that they are ashamed of - in the dark. What you have done is to come into the light - you have chosen to be real and open, there is now, "NO CONDEMNATION" for those who are in Christ Jesus. You can let this go and bask in his light. He knows - all of it - and he adores you This light that reveals our hearts is love... in his letter, John (the beloved disciple) said: (1 John 2:9-11) "Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them." Love is the beacon. Okay, so the vision of the man in the tux... (this is me... just me speaking, not an interpreter or prophet... just what I think, so if it doesn't ring true for you - throw it out ) You said: "Here are the problems. I don't know if this is what I want. I really wanted to be freed from this relationship to start anew. I don’t know if I could ever trust him. I feel like I was finally coming to closure with this relationship and now it is the focus of my attention again. How is this possible?" God has a great blessing planned for you. But you saw that it was not something that would be gained if you searched for it. I think you need to think of yourself as freed from this relationship.... by that I mean don't hang onto it or search for him/it. Actively seek God, and pray for the man in the tux. Think of him as that man in the tux and don't accept less than that. Pray that God works in his life... pray for it as fervently as your heart is breaking. That is the kind of prayer that great things are born of. If your eventual relationship has God all over it and in the centre of it and the matchmaker for it... then it will truly bless you as much as this promise says. Let go of him and of the timing and just seek God... pray for him, pray also for a community to belong to in the meantime - God knows that it is not good to be alone and lonely... I will pray for you too. Jesus, I lift up my sister Starlight, I pray that you will keep her close to your heart, may she hear your heartbeat to comfort her and feel your breath on her cheek. God, you are all powerful and so very loving, I know that you can bring these two people together in great tenderness and beauty if that is your plan. I pray that if it is not your plan, you will close the door to this relationship and you will give Starlight closure, and peace about the ending of this chapter of her life. I pray your Holy Spirit will wash over her and heal her heart over the abortion Lord Jesus, I cannot imagine the pain that causes her... I pray you will help her to forgive herself and to release her child into your hands and your keeping... I pray Lord that you will bless this woman who has recently returned to you, she stands before you pure and blameless... because you have said it is so... the blood of your precious son is enough to cover her sins. I pray Jesus you will help her to see herself as you see her, help her to catch a glimpse of the regal gown she wears in the heavenly realms... let her smile here reflect a hint of the joy and confidence she possesses in the reality of your kingdom. Let her be a balm for others, let her help others who have been where she has been to heal... your healer, your warrior against darkness Lord... thankyou that when we come to you and to your people and bare our hearts before your light, we feel not the condemnation we fear... we feel free! Lastly Lord I pray you will give her friendship, new friends who are after you too... give her walking companions Lord, it is so very important to do this walk together - please give her someone/a group of your people to belong to Ok, I've gone on long enough.... bless you Starlight Diane -

Starlight.... Ohhhhh how I feel for you! May God bless you and pour his love out on you and hold you and let you know that you are so very deeply loved! Can I ask, just clarifying cos' I got a bit confused... is the guy in the Tuxedo a person you do not know? or is the person in the tuxedo this man whom you have had a relationship with already? I think he is Jamaican (your ex) and this is the reason you are taking Jamaica etc as confirmation... have I heard that right? It is hard sometimes online, to keep which person is which straight in your head when you can't line the "ducks" up and point and say this is the one I'm talking about :o) I pray for you to have peace, no matter what this vision means for you, I pray you will have absolute peace - knowing that God is with you and he has a plan for you and he loves you. God bless, Diane -

Jesus I pray for Tinique and for her ex-fiance, you know them and you love them both Jesus. Honour the courage Tinique has shown in stepping out for you and for this man... you are worth stepping out for Lord!!! You are worth taking any plunge in faith to have... I praise you for the heart of Tinique and I pray blessings and protection over her heart and over the life you have placed in her heart. For this man who is the recipient of your word, I pray Lord that you will guide his reading, show him your character, unveil yourself to him, let him know the truth about the one he would know as Isa... let him know you are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and that you are worthy of his worship... you are a Holy God who can save him from himself, from death, from a wasted life... show him your purpose Lord, show him your mercy, show him your tenderness and your ferocity in protecting your own. Jesus I pray for these two who have loved one another, may they one day love as one in you... until that day Lord, I pray you will keep Tinique in the palm of your hand, sheltered under your wings - and that you will pursue her man and draw him with your beauty and your love. Bind the evil one in all his forms and lies and guises Jesus, make the enemy drop his sword. Surround these two with angels... you are the good shepherd, may Tinique rest on her trust in you.

Hi Cognizant, What a confusing and stressful time you are having! I truly feel for you.... I pray you will be able to sort out the decisions you have to make, I pray you will feel empowered to make the decision that feels right for you, in your spirit. I pray for the baby you carry to be healthy and happy, I pray for your family as you prepare a place for this little one that the joy will begin to overtake the concern. I pray for your working decisions, that is a really hard one for Mums... I pray you are enabled to make the decision that is right for you and your family. And that you feel upheld, whether that decision is to work, or to take a break and be with your children.... I pray God, the provider of all things will provide for all your needs and you will be able to rest in that. I know what it feels like to "not be ready to go thru another birth experience" Oh yeah!! I went to a "calm birth" class when I was pregnant with my last and the difference in my birth experience was amazing! I actually wanted to train in midwifery so I could help others as I had been helped... I highly recommend it! It explains the process - a natural process that your body is designed to do - and gives you [and your husband] tools to help yourself. It teaches you how to relax [and tells you why you need to relax!] - and then lets you practice. :o) Bless you Cognizant... breathe, rest and pray, and it will work out. You have a while to get used to the idea :o) Diane

Grey Butterfly replied to Abigail*'s topic in A Praying Place
Bless you and your family Abigail. I agree with Deborah too... it isn't good to be "carrying" your parents long term. Put them in God's hands, he is big enough to carry them. I pray that they will lean on God, each of them individually and I pray Jesus that you will restore each of them, I pray that you will lift Abigail's burden over her parents, I pray Lord that she will be able to breathe, to rest in knowing that you have them in the palm of your hand. Bless you Abigail. Diane -
Oh God I know who this woman is and how she stands for you! Please don't let her back down! Please continue to provide for her, please don't allow her to be overwhelmed or to falter in any way. God you love Heidi and her husband and their orphans, please Lord rain down blessings on them and never let them out of your sight. Amen

Wow Cholette! Thanks :o) Sorry Connie..... I hope that this conversation has helped you too - actually, I pray that it did! That is an amazing experience Cholette! How wonderful to be able to practice and stretch your wings like that! A safe place to speak what you hear and flow in the spirit - I guess that school of ministry is in America isn't it... :( I'm gonna look and see if we have one here - it would be so good to be in a place like that! Even for a little while :o) Blessings to you both! Diane

You're welcome Cholette :o) So, are you saying that a person with a prophetic gift could be given a "herald" mission - "go tell my people" this or that... and in that case, God might call that person "My Prophet to the land of "X"" as he did in the old testament with his prophets... who were called God's prophet to Israel or Judah or "X" And in that case, it is the office of the Prophet... not just the gift of prophecy? I can see that :o) Maybe "Herald" can be added to other gifts to make them more public when God wants to proclaim or reveal. I was told recently that I have a ministry/mission of bringing people closer to the heart of God, and that the spiritual gift I will use as a tool to do that is a gift of healing. I have seen glimpses, but am waiting for this to be activated in full by God in my life, but I mention it because I liked the way it broke down what my passion was = bringing people closer to God and separated it from "healings" which then became a tool God has given for access to people's lives and hearts. I was confused because I didn't really want a "healing ministry" I have realised though, that what I want to bring is inner healing - and healing of relationship with God... and that is still healing :o) So, seeing that the gift and the mission in which to use the gift can be diverse, was encouraging - actually it made me joyful and I understood clearly what God wanted of me for perhaps the first time :o) You might not have needed that "personal story" bit.... :o) but it came to mind when I read what you said... so, I'm hoping it helps! God bless, Diane

1 Timothy 2:7 "And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles." I looked up the definition of a herald on a few different sites... I have put each site in a different colour. I think that the meaning which Paul was speaking of was the messenger/announcer/proclaimer of important news... I am thinking that this is more of an office - or mission than a gift as such..... although, I think the gift of exhortation (an utterance, discourse, or address conveying urgent advice or recommendations). might be the spiritual gift you are thinking of. Hope this helps :o) Diane Herald (historical) a : an official at a tournament of arms with duties including the making of announcements and the marshaling of combatants b : an officer with the status of ambassador acting as official messenger between leaders especially in war c (1) : officer of arms (2) : an officer of arms ranking above a pursuivant and below a king of arms 2: an official crier or messenger 3a : one that precedes or foreshadows b : one that conveys news or proclaims : announcer c : one who actively promotes or advocates : her·ald (her′əld) noun 1. Historical any of various officials who made proclamations, carried state messages to other sovereigns, took charge of tournaments, arranged ceremonies, etc. 2. in England, an official in charge of genealogies, coats of arms, etc. 3. a person who proclaims or announces significant news, etc.: often used in newspaper names 4. a person or thing that comes before to announce, or give an indication of, what follows; forerunner; harbinger transitive verb 1. to introduce, announce, foretell, etc. 2. to publicize her·ald (hĕrˈəld) noun 1. A person who carries or proclaims important news; a messenger. 2. One that gives a sign or indication of something to come; a harbinger: eg. The crocus is a herald of spring. 3. An official whose specialty is heraldry. 4.a. An official formerly charged with making royal proclamations and bearing messages of state between sovereigns. b. An official who formerly made proclamations and conveyed challenges at a tournament. transitive verb her·ald·ed, her·ald·ing, her·alds To proclaim; announce: cheers that heralded the team's arrival. A herald is an officer of arms, ranking between pursuivant and king of arms. Herald may also refer to: * A messenger, especially one bringing important news * A harbinger, giving signs of things to come

Much love Jasmine.... I pray for a sense of calm and peace for you and for your whole family. May this bring you all together, may it be something you all look back on in the future (including your Grandmother) as the time when God took you all under his wing and on to a new depth in him. I stand in agreement with the others here, Jesus, uphold and protect and heal. Much love, Diane

Grey Butterfly replied to Abigail*'s topic in A Praying Place
Oh how wonderful! Lord I thank you and praise you for your faithfulness and perfect timing. I pray now for cords of love to bind this family, I pray for a hedge of protection - angels with flaming swords to protect them from the evil one. Bless Abigail and her Mum and her Dad as individual children in your kingdom and as a family Jesus, be with them and build them up for your glory! So happy for you Abigail! xx Diane -

Oh God....... that makes me want to cry. Surround Jasmine with your presence, with the thickness of your love and infuse her with a confidence and a joy that was available to your loved ones even in the darkness of Auschwitz... God you are able.... I trust that you will. Jasmine, I think that God has written your name on my heart, I will check back and I will keep praying for you. Love Diane
