Yeshua.. The Great Lion.. I bow before You..Before Your mane of Wisdom, Your roar of JusticeYour Quiet StrengthAnd Your Gentleness.. Yeshua The Great Lion... I bow before You and give You glory
 
I had an awakening and thought i'd share.

For the past couple of weeks, I came to a place where I had nothing I was particularly waiting on God for and started feeling a bit empty and searching for a purpose. I prayed with my connect group and my friend about God's purpose for my life revealed. During team visioon night at my church 2 Tuesday's ago, my Pastor was speaking about that and challenged us to think instead; my life for God's purpose. And then it clicked! My purpose is to live out God's purpose ... this is very broad: to be an instrument in bringing the lost to the father, to love people; to feed the poor, to edify and bring strength and purpose to the weak that are placed in my way. To live a life that is pleasing to God, to be salt and light in my environment, to die to self each day and allow God to express Himself through me, and more and more. I am now overfilled with purpose :drunk:
 
Thank you Lord that I was able to hear your voice, thank you Lord that I am covered by the Blood of Jesus.... You are my protector!!!!
 
Thank You father for steering me in the right direction...as always!

Lord father, continue to bless my family. Help my sister in her time of need.
 
I am alone on Thanksgiving waiting for my baked macaroni and cheese to complete my meal. I am watching Creflo Dollar on my laptop as I wait. I never pictured a Thanksgiving like this. I thank God that his message gives me comfort and that I have food to eat.
 
Im so close to being done with this christian walk..so much Im seeing makes me more and more resent this whole thing..Im not a religious person I see too much utter nonsense to be..I thought one day I would be able to fall into the whole live at the church thing and I despise those that do that..life isn't about putting x amount of hours at some bloody building slave working for some joker pastor..Its about being real and raw being able to help awake the souls who are the pimps,whores,drug users and dealers..the ones who have had no love and life and are reacting instead of looking above..call me whatever but I dont think I will ever go to church or do all that fake holy mess...its mind boggling how some think they are great but yet your baggage is killing your kids and is poison like crack and meth..

I hope not to offend any of you ladies its not my intention but after visiting folks yesterday Im just floored with the religious ppl esp the black woman who thinks she something bc of God your not..your a self righteous mess with no true substance in you..this classism I see on this site in different areas such as dating and jobs shows I will never be of the elite I guess God didn't place me in that class maybe its for the best..at least I know how true God is and how rich his love..
 
GoddessMaker, I think you are focusing on people and their expectations instead of focusing on making God happy. I am not to sure of the "classism" that you are talking about but I think I have an idea. People in general will gravitate towards people that they have things in common with, try not take their closeness personally. If you want to comment on something, jump into the conversation, if they are intentionally spiteful towards you don't worry about it, if God for you who is against you. :huggle:

2 Kings 20:5 (New International Version)

5 “Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the LORD.
 
Lord this week coming is nerve wrecking..I need to focus on things as a chapter is ending in my life and so are certain ppl from my life..Im glad for the word that some doors must close in order for the right ones to open..
 
Jesus is the Gift​
​

Jesus is the gift that perfectly fits every heart
and it is with His love that all celebration starts.
We rejoice in Him as we remember His birth
and thank God for sending His only Son to earth.

His life led from a manger to a cross on a hill
where He faithfully followed His Father's perfect will.
He freely laid down everything so that we could live
and there is no greater treasure anyone could give.

Like a scarlet ribbon His love wrapped around the cross
and He offered it to us all at the greatest cost.
So each time that we give we remember what He's done
and honor the perfect Gift - God's one and only Son.


For God so loved the world that He gave... John 3:16

Must be on a roll or sumpin...that's 2 in a row...but anyhoo

Do the right thing, follow what's been set before you by Creator, question, get affirmations, question again so you know you are in His will...do the right thing and even family will talk against you. Well, I guess the comfort is that Jesus was innocent but was and still is called all manner of wicked things. Do something good for humanity, for family, for friends, for strangers...and ungrateful people will spit on your efforts. Alas, such is life.

Jesus, like Sr. Teresa, is that what she meant when she told You no wonder You don't have many friends cuz that's how You treat them? You sure do know how to shower me with blessings...and the occasional bunch of misery. I guess I kinda know how you feel.:ohwell:

I'm not happy. Trouble finding peace in You. My life is stagnant right now. I don't want to be still. I'm nearly 30 and I desire to enter the next phase of life (marriage & children).
 
Dear Lord,

It's never my desire to ever give you what's left, but always what's right, even when I unwittingly fail. But I won't give up or lose hope, because You are my Hope. I ask that you purge my heart of anything that offends you, that my words always line up with my actions. I thank you for this life, that is a testament to your Glory. I cannot turn my back on You; Your Love is strong, unlike the love of man, which comes with so many conditions and stipulations. I ask that you bless those in this Forum whose hearts are set on You, as we all continue to grow into the knowledge of your Truth. You alone know where each heart lives in You.

Amen
 
Lord whats up with all these no's or something happen type emails.I m still waiting on this possible job offer but no avail.I grad in 17 days.I have more bills than money and I get all of 160 in unemployment this month that all..Im scared I will have debt and Im already not starting off in life well.Now my professor who told me I could take the final early said the school is saying they can't.I may have to jeopardize my grades bc I need work..I hate being born poor..always a day late and a dollar short..
 
^^^^ Well my prayer came through..I asked in prayer on my knees that I would get a job offer by the end of the week..and got a call at 3pm Friday..Praise the Lord for provision..I start on the 13th..
 
Lord, I'm ready to allow you to prepare me to walk into my dream job. I feel I'm ready for it; but I know you do things in your perfect timing. Just let me know what I should do? What should I ask for? So that you can open closed doors in my career, personal and financial life.
 
I never stopped to think that being a wife and mother may NOT be part of my purpose. Is this the reason why God answers all my other prayers but this one? Why do I feel so strongly about being a wife and mother then?

At this stage, i feel like giving up on this one particular desire. I have prayed and prayed to the point i cant differentiate between positive thinking and obsession. I'm taking a break from everything love and marriage. I don't want to think about it, work towards it, pray on it, Nothing.

I. am. done.

Congrats Goddessmaker! :clap: I'm so happy for you. God is an awesome provider!
 
2010 was the year of the Crucible for me.. I was dealing with Spritual and other attacks from ALL SIDES CONSTANTLY this year. But I can say this.. YHWH WAS DEFINETLY IN THE MIDST AND HE STILL IS IN THE MIDST of those things.. It was the prayers of my LHCF AND MY FB friends that have helped truly... I believe 2011 is my year of Turnaround.. I see it happening now.. I'm adjusting to a new life and new goals that I never imagined but I believe I have found my purpose.. I <3 you LHCF FAMILY, ESP Abdjiz, GoddessMaker, Volver, Shimmie. I really heart you ladies :)
 
I go hard for the faith but with other believers. I hardly ever debate somebody to believe in Jesus...that is not my purpose on this earth. I wouldn't want anybody shoving down their beliefs on me either, including my traditional Jewish and Native relatives/friends...:ohwell:

What I will attempt to demonstrate is that this "holier-than-thou" is nonproductive in the Body. We all come from various christian traditions and beating each other over the head is proving nothing except that we're all meshugena...crazy. :shrugs: Sure, have a healthy debate, have an opinion...but "my way to G-d in xyz is better than yours?" I don't think so. Know your own, pick apart your own so you know can know why you believe as you do and that can only come through questioning and comparisons...honest comparative debate/discussion. But there is but one Jesus and I think we're all brothers and sisters..just that my scripture is in French and yours is in English. Same G-d, same brethern.
 
God I will continue to trust you. I know I have the victory over this situation. I got the phone call today that months ago would have brought me to my knees, but it didn't.

It's b/c I won't allow what's going on around me or how things appear to shake my faith! You said you'd NEVER leave or forsake me. So, I know you are in the midst of my situation. You WILL get the glory from this!
 
I love this post from an FB friend on songs:

"Mine is "He saw the best in me" It is always easy for people to recognize and point out your shortcomings, and slow to commend and compliment you on your accomplishments. That is why I am glad that God is God, and besides him there is none other. Because he looked beyond all my faults, and saw my needs. When everyone else around me can only see the worst in me, he saw the best in me."
 
Even though I had made up my mind and you have agreed with my decision...why does it still hurt? Why in all my reading, praying, and talking I still don't see you as enough? That you have my best interest at heart? Why can't my will line up with Your will for my life?

I want to do all these things but I can't get pass my flesh to see the truth. Lord help my disbelief.
