It's a hard lesson to learn but it's one I need to learn nonetheless
there are consequences to our actions
but for those we love dearly, it's hard to see them experience the consequences sometimes
though at times we go through so we can be better ppl
sigh
may God's grace abound in this particular situation
 
God I thank you for all you do. I just got a call from a recruiter for a job I applied for. Normally I would be all sweating and stuff but now I'm like if they don't see how awesome I am and even more important if this is something God has for me then it will be. No need for me to sweat it out or be nervous. God has me in his hand and has provided for me before. Thank you Jesus for revelation and the ability to finally after years of just existing to understand how great you are and that I am good, I'm not evil and I'm not all those things that are contrary to your word that my family use to say.
 
Lord, thank you for continually be used by you and made like you, your will be done! In all things, I trust you! Amen!
 
Thank you for answered prayer! And for all the ladies in the CF, we maintain a spirit of prayer. Victory is yours alone.
 
I keep on crying, not because I am sad, because I am overwhelmed with gratitude
God has been so good you guys!!!
I can't say enough, I can't even articulate how I feel
I look back at everything and I have this sense of overwhelming thankfulness
When I look back I didn't see this, even when I wasn't walking!
Like the night years ago when I sensed a depression and darkness so deep
and I turned on the T.V. and "My Help Cometh From the Lord" was playing
and it wasn't even a Christian channel
and I knew right then that you were right there
or the time I was so scared and unsure, and I wanted to call my mother and I didn't
Yet you brought me through
or the time when I felt an emptiness so deep I couldn't handle it
I could only cry
Yet you sent that phone call at the right time
and the rejection, abandonment and abuse
and even in the midst of it
YOUR BLESSINGS!
all of it, you had a greater purpose and I had no idea
Oh my God you've been so good

There's nothing anyone could tell me My God can't do
nothing!
This is just one of the many lessons I have learned
There's nothing that my God can't do

LoveisYou this is the reason I continue to post here in order to see raw praise.

There use to be a time not long ago that I felt I needed to be acknowledged for my thoughts here. Now I just don't care. I praise all the day long and don't need no one to agree with me. I remember here a pastor Co-Pastor Susie Orman say once If you don't high five me back I will high five myself,if you don't encourage me honey I will encourage myself..I will no longer seek out others for support I will seek out Jesus. I know to some they like whatever GM but if I could really share the things that have gone on in my mind and heart I might mess some folks up.

Jesus your been too good to me and I can't say thank you enough. I praise you for the many of times things should have went one way and they went another. I thank you for the meal I just ate,I thank you for the job I just came from today,and for the body you gave me to care for. I bless you for the ladies here who are seeking your faith. There isn't nothing like a praying woman I mean I fervently praying woman oh ain't nothing like her. See the woman who is seeking God out like a bounty hunter has a strong anointing and presence...ok let me stop for I start getting happy at 7pm.
 
So, God showed up and showed out in a mighty way!! All I can do is thank God over and over. Favor ain't fair by any definition! Thank you!!!


Eta- And I apparently ain't the only one. HALLELUJAH!
 
"But when he saw the multitude he was moved with compassion." (Matthew 9:36) Jesus sees you, just as he saw the multitudes. He has compassion for you. He is longing to heal you where you hurt the most.

I Thessalonians 3:9
How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? (New International Version)

If there's one thing that will restrict the flow of God's joy in our lives, it's selfishness! Actually, many things will hinder the joy God intends for us. How many of us try to find good news in someone else's life when we're having a bad day? Chances are that we're so consumed with our condition that we don't think about looking for good news anywhere else. I'm convinced that Paul was able to rejoice under house arrest because he cared so much about others. The goodness of God has been misinterpreted as entitlement. There's nothing wrong with expecting God to do great things; but we must be aware that sometimes He will be doing great things for someone else! Your turn will come: therefore think about giving Him glory for His exploits in the life of your brothers and sisters. If we can do that, we will have many more joyful experiences. I believe God will be impressed with the "sacrifice" of praise. Just because you don't feel good, doesn't mean you can't do good.

To Love Him.... :love3:


Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn't, and doesn't, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn't been so weak, we wouldn't have known what to do anyway.

We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use [whatsoever] to him.

Romans 5:6-8 MSG
 
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26 KJV)

This is DD's bible verse for the week at school. I've decided to meditate on it. I believe that this is a word for me and it will also be another way that I can connect with her over the Word and her school work.
 
I just printed off my own prayer request sheet for bible study. I didnt want to take up all the space they provided for us. I just kept thinking about people who asked for my prayers. I didn't even pray for myself. I just would like to a strong prayer circle for these certain people/things.
 
I get these daily emails. I just wanted to share as my heart has been heavy with the matters of this forum esp this area. I don't want strife here. I don't want animosity or people leaving. It makes me sad when folks feel so frustrated that that want to bounce. This should be at least one place in the forum that is peaceful and happy. I love you ladies here. Some I may not see eye to eye on but at the end of the day none of that crap really matters. People are people. Lets remember that. One of my bosses says all no one person is more important than the other. I love his view point on this matter. Again ladies I love you all and that is something that is very hard for me to do for many reasons.

His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
– Ephesians 3:10-11 (NIV)

Today’s commentary
by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org

The word “manifold” means “many faced”. The church is meant to display the many ways that God wants to interact with his creation. When God’s people get this heavenly reality, we can celebrate the differences that each communities of faith displays. Our view of the church can expand to the point that we can work with other churches for, according this passage, one church doesn’t have it all. We need each other by design.
 
Whatever we do, must be done in Jesus name ...

If you do 'good' and Jesus is not in it, then all the good that you have done is good for nothing.

The Christian is not free to do whatever he wants, he is free only to do that which is consistent with the Character of God. True freedom is freedom from sin.
 
What does the bible say about the human heart?

The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked: who can know it. Jer. 17:9
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness all these evil things come from within and defile the man. Mark 7:21-23

these are the characters of the human heart (not the blood pumping organ, but your heart in this case means your mind )...


Can anyone read them and say, this does not describe my heart?

I doubt it and this is why we must repent often, daily in fact.

Whatsoever is not of faith is SIN

lawlessnes, neglect, doubt, unbelief all unrighteousness is sin.

What does sin do?

Well it not only produces shame but leads to permanent separation between us and God.

The wages of sin is death...it is not only a physical or spiritual death, sinners are already spiritually dead but it is ETERNAL death a separation from God for all eternity.
 
i peter 4
12Beloved, think it not strange at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.


So why are you surprised?
 
To truly be like Christ, then we MUST partake in his sufferings...

Many of us dont want to be made uncomfortable and would like to choose our sufferings, why, cause our flesh likes comfort, it wants to appeased and loves sympathy, it also does not want to be denied...


Well he suffered and died and so must we, this flesh must die...mortify the deeds of this flesh...
