2012 - Christian Random Thoughts Thread

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

I agree. None of that sounds kosher.
 
John saw a number that no man could number, let's make certain we are in that number...



Revelation 7:9

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.







Wave you hands if you are working to be in that number, your 'palms' are branches today...
 
I will praise you Lord when I have nothing when I'm nothing to this world Lord. All the nights of crying because I couldn't be accepted into the club not being sought after by what seemed like the popular or cool people. I pondered for years God why did you allow this why wasn't I not appeasing to others why wasn't I built a certain way why was I able to feel others in such deep ways but no one seemed to care. Why was I born by 2 people that are so jacked up. A father who left me at 6 weeks and a mother who was unable to deal with things and was in a era that she could do for herself. God I see that even in the darkest places in the most unlikely spots the best things can be created
 
Lord, you are good and your mercy endures forever!!!!

Thank you for the members here who love to pray and love to praise your name! They are wonderful!
 
Thank you Lord for another day. I may not want to move but you gave me breathe so I must do. I feel cold and not in high energy but you gave me a job so I must push through. I may not have what I desire but you have met my needs so I will thank you Lord.
 
Just got done talking to a male co-worker and had to complement him. In the 7 years I've known him, I've never heard say one bad word about his wife and told him. His response- "oh, she's great."

It's so rare to hear that kind of praise for a spouse. I don't often speak Ill of my DH, but I do. I'm gonna follow my friend's example. I want every word I spoke of my spouse to be uplifting.

The righteous won't be forsaken I will keep this in my heart right now as today isn't as bright as yesterday but I will continue to keep strong in my faith. When I feel alone Lord help me to know I am not. I may not have any one in my corner but you God you are.Jesus you have great to me when I'm not worthy and not praising you. Forgive me Lord for turning to myself when things were going disarray. I know that as you grow and stregth you have to go into the strength and not rebel. Growing doesn't geeel good but once your done it will be great.
 
It just amazes me how God has it all covered. I woke up feeling discouraged and just flat out tired. There are things that I have been praying for and what I would consider I am in a place of "dire need". I just couldn't bring myself to pray again (cause frankly I don't know if I even believed in what I wanted to say).

I was at a point of I don't want to give up and doubt God but I really don't know if I have the mental strength to go on. But thanks to God that I sensed his leading me to pray in the spirit, to pray in my heavenly language.

Taking that time to pray in spirit, just seem to refresh me on the inside. I am so thankful right now because the pressure is off, I feel encouraged, my confidence is back.

Sometimes it is so hard to fight off negativity or thoughts of discouragement in times of waiting before God but it is a battle worth fighting because you will win.
 
Bless me to walk in the light of You, Lord...
I wanna be all You want me to be...
Just send me Lord I'll go...
I wanna be all You want me to be...
I'll tell it on the mountain...
I'll tell it, I'll tell it
Just send me Lord I'll go...
 
I am looking at the chicken bologna and sooooo wanting to slather some Miracle Whip on some white bread and scarf that puppy down. Sigh...Lent. LOL.
 
I've taken and few baby steps out of my own way and great things are happening! I've decided to trust GOD and know that my blessings are coming and he is already moving mountains. I don't want to mess this up so I'll be patient and still and leave it to HIM. There is no one greater to have in my corner!

Happy Friday ladies.
 
This one is for all you ladies mostly those who pray for others:

Psaml 128

A song of Ascents

Blessed are all who fear the Lord.
who walk in his ways.
You will eat the fruit of your labor;
Blessings and prosperity will be yours.
Your wife (husband)will be like a fruitful vine
within you house.
your sons (daughters)will be like olive shouts
around your table
Thus is the man (woman) blessed
who fear the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion
all days of your life;
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem,
and may you live to see your children's children.

Peace be upon Isreal (you).

Amen Amen Amen.
 
I'm lifted right now from Romans 12:4-6. I have been so ashamed at my life. I wanted to be the technial smart person who was seen by everyone as mad intelligent. I am not good with math nor is science appealing anymore. I may always have the gift of supporting others which to me is not something worthwhile honestly. However by reading this scripture I will take heart and alter my mind that we are all given different gifts and thus we should use thoses in full force. I may never be the engineneer who makes alot of money or the CPA but I will make good use of the gift I do have whenever I fully understand my worth and gift.
 
Interesting conversation in that Atheist thread. I must say that when I meet people who don't believe in God, there's just something missing in their spirit. They likely don't even know it, but I sense an emptiness there although I know they would beg to differ. When someone doesn't want God in their life, it shows.

I think I know the thread you're speaking of and I agree. Some use the "excuse" that science contradicts God's existence. Like you said, "when someone doesn't want God in their life, it shows". I have a heavy science/engineering background and it didn't turn me away God. It made me have questions, but thus far, many of the answers reconcile science with God. For the other questions that remain unanswered, I choose God over science. Why? Because He said "Walk by faith and not sight". Science is "sight"-based.
 
Oh the Lord is soo good and mericful to me. I know you all are going to tire of me soon. I am just thinking about the groceries I bought. I mean I'm not rich at all but God provides. I'm not having to eat scrapes or day old bread but I can get the fresh things and the healthy things. God your so good and awesome to me. I have to make it personal. You died on the cross for me. You were hung on a cross in pain no one there to help you or comfort you, you were mocked,laughed at,beaten,abused,misused,and spit on. Oh that just hit me deep. As much as I want to be in the in crowd and be in the know at work I will take comfort Lord of those you send my way that say be you be Goddessmaker. It really just hit me like a ton of bricks. May those who aren't in the group never lose sight if our Lord can suffer through we definitely can.
 
Bless me to walk in the light of You, Lord...
I wanna be all You want me to be...
Just send me Lord I'll go...
I wanna be all You want me to be...
I'll tell it on the mountain...
I'll tell it, I'll tell it
Just send me Lord I'll go...

I wanna be faithful,
I wanna be believable,
I wanna be greatful
I wanna really please you Lord
I wanna be emotional
I wanna be responsible
I wanna be a laborer
I wanna live in favor!
 
I've missed u CF!!! lol I'm behind on my homework so I've unfortunately had to cut back on my posting! It is killing me lolol!!

I am still floating right now from the amazing blessing God has given me in regards to a certain vehicle I was "claiming" since Dec '11. Ladies NEVER stop believing for what u want even if it seems trivial or stupid to other people. I wanted something and God blessed me with it because I was patient and faithful. He is AWESOME and I am sooooo very grateful!!! Thank you Lord!!

Open Your Bible and Unlock Your Potential
by Rick Warren

“You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32 NLT)
Truth be told, you can’t even fathom your full potential. Only your Creator can. Only God, the one who made you, knows all you are capable of being. Your parents, your spouse, your friends, your boss — they only get a glimpse of your potential.

Only God knows what you’re truly capable of.

You use such a small fraction of your brain. You don’t need more intelligence. You need to use more of the intelligence you already have!

Most people live for the approval of others. They spend all of their time worrying about what others think of them. Your life has been limited by replaying tapes in your head of people who lied to you. They may not even mean to lie to you, but they still do. They’ve told you that you can’t do something, that you shouldn’t even bother because you’re not worth much anyway.

You’ve played these tapes over and over in your mind. And they’re lies. The people that made those statements about you have no idea about your potential. You have to talk to your Creator for that.

Only he knows what he can do through your life. And only he can unlock that potential. How does he do it?

The Lord frees us through his Word. Jesus said this in John 8:31-32: “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (NLT). God’s Word will unlock all you’ve been made to do and be. Through it, you’ll be able to do things you’ve never thought possible.

How do you do that?

Learn God’s Word. God won’t unlock your potential until you actually open the Word and learn it. You won’t unlock potential by osmosis. You’ll start to do it by learning what the Bible says.
Accept God’s Word. The Bible has to be the authority in your life. You may not like what you’re reading, but — if you want God’s best for your life — you need to accept what it says as the final authority for how you live.
Obey God’s Word. You can’t just learn God’s Word and accept God’s Word. You have to do what the Bible teaches. You don’t get blessed for the parts of the Bible you know. You get blessed for the parts of the Bible you do.
You were made for much more than you ever imagined. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 2:9, “What God has planned for people who love him is more than eyes have seen or ears have heard. It has never even entered our minds!” (CEV)
So open up God’s Word, and get ready to do what only God can imagine
