Why is it important that we get it right?
Because the whole world is watching us that's why, our spouses, our children, our co-workers and peers, our friends and family the whole world, if we can't walk this walk then what kind of message are we sending them, are we making them want the God we serve or have we made him appear weak and incapable of anything?
There is no failure in God!

It's very noisy in heaven...
Revelation19
1 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
2 for true and just are his judgments.
He has condemned the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
3 And again they shouted:

I heard such a powerful message last night, I must quote a few lines...
When we recognise that God is our only SOURCE, we will stop using him as our last resort...

this reminds me of my great grand aunt ...
Mighty woman of God, so we thought ...
For most of her adult life Auntie M was saved, prayer band leader, mother of the church, wore the white dress shoes and hat, present everytime the church doors open...
She died at the age of 89, when the pastor came to her to give her last rights she went out cussing the most vile, filthiest words, "she bust hell wide open" (Bahamian vernacular).
She had a form of godliness...

Even though it's a hard pill to swallow, knowing God is never not there is a bit comforting. God is near while he is teaching the lesson but distant when your being tested. Right now I feel God is very far away,like if I scream one more time for him my voice will die. But alas I'm a student desiring the very best so instead of folding and doing something to demolish myself, I will pray,weep if needed even if it feels very unatural and press to the goal.
I'm thankful for lunch today, God knew I wasn't all too excited with my lunch I have but bless the Lord oh my soul that he provides but not always in the way you expect. To be open to God is to truly finally to be blessed.

No, but I can imagine (somewhat) the feeling of fear and helplessness that would follow. Years ago I had a dream about judgment and I can tell you the feeling of helplessness I felt in that dream was indescribable. That dream is a great influence on my walk with Christ.
Amazing about your aunt. I too had an aunt who is now deceased. She professed to a be born-again christian for over 50 years. She would testify and have the church shouting. And she knew the Word and how to use it on you too. LOL The saints spoke well of her. My last memory however, was of her mean and hateful spirit which (IMO) was ungodly. God only knows if she changed.
Iwanthealthyhair67, you are right about people having a form of godliness. So many people sacrifice their life religiously but yet and still are missing the mark. It's going to be a pitiful momemt for those who knew the right road to take and didn't follow it. That's why I'm in constant prayer for the Lord to direct my paths. You can't just talk it you've got to walk it.
I'm taking heed...It's an individual affair...

my grand aunt was the sweetess woman you'd want to know, but it was all a facade 'inside' of the cup was exposed on her death bed, all her labour was in vain, it's sad really all those years wasted...
yes, a walk of love and sacrifice...*sighs* at the bolded

What is the one verse you hold onto during a trial? Mine is "when I am afraid I will trust in you oh Lord, in God whose word I praise, in God who I trust, then I shall not be afraid." it's the one verse that really brings me comfort when I am afraid. I think it's because there are times when I do get afraid despite knowing I shouldn't. But even when I am afraid he brings me comfort. As humans we sometimes get afraid, but we can trust in you Oh Lord.

I hope whatever has taken over me stays like forever because I have never felt this peaceful in my 26 years on earth. I have happiness but something inside me feels like it has flipped or something has been removed. Maybe all the prayers from you ladies or maybe God even heard my prayer and my tears over the time and that I' m really want to grow in this thing. But ladies watch what you pray for. I mean it sounds cute when you singing oh God mold me,rebuild me,prune me that stuff will have you going through.
Just something for your listening pleasure and don't listen to this while driving I do and truly at times have to check myself bc then I would really have to say God take the wheel.

*lays down superwoman cape*
I'm tired. I work 2 ft jobs and go to school ft. I try to find time to work out, shave my legs, go to church, do homework, or read a book. I feel selfish when I do do things like post on the forum- I'm usually procrastinating at work, or working out- I could be cleaning or doing homework.
I'm so mad at the younger me. I made so many mistakes and now I'm busting my butt to fix it. Lord will it end?!
I'm tired of doing it all.
I'm tired of the assumptions people have about why I do what I do.
Tired of choosing between church, homework, and sleep..
Tired of my head looking like a brillo pad on crack.
Tired of wearing closed toe shoes, because I have no time to work on my feet.
Tired of not having time to cry.
*picks up cape*
Thank you for letting me vent. Time to get back on the grind.

msdr hey boo come back here I will need your cape please..leave it on the alter and let it go..you don't have to do it all..I know that your single,young, and fab but you can't work yourself down to the bone. You shouldn't feel bad for taking time out for you. I think honestly this is why I'm sligthly nervous about a pt job on top of a full time bc I enjoy my time with God at the gym or just being.
I don't want you to burn out.
There are times I dream about dancing. I listen to songs and can see the moves in my head. It's weird when I hear Sweet Jesus by J.Moss I can really visualize the movements on a grand scale. I don't know if that is me or God but I have been seeing this for about a year. I'm not a member of no bodies church nor do I want to at the moment so this vision will remain a vision until something births. The thing I didn't desire to me seems to be something I flow into easy: the artist. I wanted to be seen as the deep scholar,the intellectual but I don't know that I have those capabilities. Yes I'm intelligent and catch on to things well but I wanted to be the bible thumper but alas I'm not. I can read passages and gather the deeper meaning like Peter walking on water to me as long as we look ahead we are ok. Not looking anywhere else but ahead. I notice when I'm on the treadmill as long as I look ahead out to the sky I am able to go alot farther even enduring the pain alot longer than looking at the timer or elsewhere heck I have almost fallen off by looking to the sides..I don't know if that can touch anyone but me.

Take a break, before something 'breaks' you. You are worth having peace and time to rest. What you don't get done, will not be lost. God will redeem the time for you. Right now, give something up and rest. Paint your nails, both toes and fingers, buy a new scarf or lip gloss, listen to your favorite songs that minister the Love of Jesus for you.
Just give something up and take care of you.
I have the same visions about dancing lol I kid you not! I want to praise dance so badly but can be shy about performing. Girl u should see me when I get ready to get down to some gospel ( in the privacy of my home of course).

Good morning ladies. I was thinking on the way in at times I have the desire to be one of those sparkly people in the sense they are the "it" person in their field or they have this awesome life while others have to deal with the daily grind and drugery. I at times can become so consumed with wanting this golden life. I know it can be golden even in such a basic state like I am now if I have a golden mindset. I don't know if I will achieve all the dreams and goals I desire. I have some pretty high goals for my self:extra on point body,high income,highly visble in a great company,great spritual walk and a great joy. I'm taking all the steps on my end to do so ie changing mindset,working out,etc. I can even notice a small change like this morning or more like last night I was in a lot of pain and didn't sleep at all well last night. Normally I would have called off work or would be in a evil mood the entire day because I know I have no energy. But I pushed off and was like I'm joyed I have a job to go to and I'm joyed to be awake even in pain. I don't know this person that has taken over,maybe my prayer has been answered that the old me is done and I have finally taken off my grave clothes and have put on my life ones..
Have a awesome day.
Have a awesome day.

wow...
This reminds me of an airline crash in the Caribbean years back... one of the survivors who was floating on a piece of the plane said a man was struggling to stay above water and the survivor told him to just pray and ask God to save him...the man got mad and broke out in a tirade of curse words.. he then sank..just like that.
It hurts my heart to hear of stories like that, where people know they are about to die and still reject God at the last minute. Lord have mercy.... when I feel my life is in danger all who I can think about is God.

It's taken me way to long to get to this point but I am not my position I am in right now. I'm not a staffing coordinator I'm not a admin I am me. I just happen to play the role of such. For a long time I have been so horrid about my role and feeling way less than due to that. So many look down upon the help. So I will look to the hills for my source of who I am. I am not my hair nor am I my title.

Lately I've been rushing some areas of my life wanting to know "WHEN?!" and doing all that I can to make things happens to no avail. I've been reminded that my methods are not always what's right and I can't rush the hand of GOD. I've been focusing and constantly reminding myself that at some point I have to "Be still and KNOW" that GOD is who he says he is and that he is working every situation out for my behalf. I can't go on thinking, hoping and wishing my blessings are coming I have to KNOW they are. I have to stand here and proclaim that GOD will be exalted in every situation. I may not know when, how, who or what but I KNOW! That's a powerful word and has increased my faith.- Reflecting on Psalm 46:10
This also spoke to me today in reference to my impatient actions:
"To run the race of life in Christ,
This must become your daily goal:
Confess your sins,
trust GOD for strenght,
use discipline and self control."
(from todays message in Our Daily Bread)

There are some things that some Christians so that is just borderline witchcraft
the devil is such a deceiver
my cousin was just telling me about people in leadership positions in church
who are going to see "readers"
now these "readers" profess to be Christians themselves
ppl are paying to go see them to have the future told
or to be given things (like charms etc.) to run away evil spirits
it just sounds very........"witchy" to me
something in the water ain't clean with those practices/readers

It is "witchy". That stuff will mess up their lives. If they want their futures "told", they should go directly to the Lord. He will lead them. No need to pay "readers".
