Father,

I lift up every single person living in Oklahoma and the surrounding states right now that is in danger of these tornadoes. I pray that these tornadoes cease and desist from forming on the ground in the name of Jesus. I pray that every structure that is knocked down in any way, not have any people in it, that everyone gets to a place of safety, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Oh Father, have mercy......:nono:

Look you got to go. Grab your purse. I know your brand Prada, but you must leave me you aren't welcome in my mind,heart or soul ever again. I don't wave at me,don't text,don't send me a fb message either. I am tired of hearing you with your perverse speech it's appalling. I finally am able to accept the love of the one who sent his Son to die for me. Oh what have you done for me lately?!? Nothing that's what. No wait I'm sorry,you have caused me to be sad,mad and depressed. I had the locks changed, we are through.


I never really believed that I could change that me Goddessmaker could really be what my 1st name sake is.It overwhelms me to soo much that I am a child of the one true King,amazing you are God! Thank you for loving me and being patient.

I don't write for likes or thanks but for the one who was once like me lurking from the free parts. A one true saint of love @Shimmie would speak such life in her post that it made me want to say thank you. If we all do what we are suppose to do not suggested but commanded we too could bring souls to Christ.
 
Same ol' same ol'...

Dear sweet Lord I really am tired... Drained. Disillusioned. Sad. Weary. Father I need You. Really need You.

I hope I wasn't misunderstood in my previous post. I know there are folks here who are ministers and the like and that's awesome. But for those who will never be called that formally but have soo much grace that has been given it's like needed back to help others. I guess I'm just soo focused on going after the hearts of the non believer or the unsure. It's mad important because at times you never know. But then for the one who calls them self a Christian I just want to pull their hair and refocus them like Nehemiah did. Don't judge me lol. Again I am just really feeling pressed to make sure the hearts of all are uplifted and turned towards God. My heart is tuned to the unpopular problem person.

I also have come to accept I like encouraging and edifying people.It's like something I'm earnestly good at. I like to build everyone up not just the saint but the non believer too. I just want the light of God to beam on people so much. God has done a mighty work in me and still is working on me but just to be able to uplift is soo awesome!

Babygirl, I don't think you realize that your strength is what has given me and so many others strength. It is far from easy to be strong, yet each of us have a Gift of ourselves that keeps others going.

You have endured so much and look how you have risen so far above it all. I have to thank you for I thank God for you each day for your brave, loving and beautiful heart and soul.

YOU, GoddessMaker have made me strong, in more ways than you will ever know. Please do not ever forget the love that surrounds you and how many others see you as 'Love' for Love is what you are and will always be.

Thank you, again :love3:

Your Light is beaming upon me right now (and so many others).

Your posts actually caught my attention and allowed me to unpack one more item from my recent move. It's been a long process and I'm getting closer to finishing thanks to you.

Your posts of thanking God, have lead me to thank God and thanking Him gave me energy to finish one more thing that needed to be done.

Sis...you would be surprised at how many souls do come to Christ on this forum:yep:. God is at work to will and to do His good pleasure.

In my studies today, I was reading this scripture and the Apostle Paul was in prison and he wrote this:



This helped me to realize that even if those ministers were proclaiming Christ without a sincere heart, they never preached a false gospel, but the truth. Paul said that "whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed and in that I rejoice!" That speaks volumes! It confirms the scriptures that says this:
Isaiah 55: 10-11

So we can pray that those who minister here, will minister the true gospel and we can know that people can and will get saved.:yep:

I love the Book of Isaiah...

"For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

Isaiah 55: 10-11

More energy just from reading this... :love3:

Regarding my post, I agreed with your post:yep:. Sorry you thought I misunderstood what you were trying to convey. I guess I must learn to not always share a teaching where its not needed. I apologize and have deleted my post because I don't want to confuse anyone that you are trying to minister to...:yep:

God bless you, always!

God bless you, Shimmie. I hope you had a great day!
 
The hardest thing in this walk is taking heed to Godly instruction and advisement. I still feel this apprehension to certain things. Like I desire to move from where I am to Dallas. Well for a second time I have heard are you really sure about moving? Last night even one said are you running from something and would you have community where you would go? Part of me hasn't wanted to face the music that I can't even find a job in Dallas which is a no go for me. I now will have to be open to the area I'm in and since I did that last night I have felt soo light. It's not about my feelings but what God desires.
 
This is from my closest friend and it ministered to me....:love2:
"Sometimes, as a pastor, you really feel the weight of never measuring up. I have come to terms with the fact that my best will never be good enough. That's why I need Jesus. Only Jesus can meet everyone's needs perfectly and do everything perfectly. I can do my best, but I will still sin. I will never be able to pay attention to everyone the way they want or need; I will not be able to do everything well; some things will get neglected. I will not be able to love perfectly as hard as I try. This is reality. I am so grateful for grace in my life shown to me by my loving Father and by the people around me."

Why are things like divorce and homosexuality starting to bother me? Why are things like the hearts of folks more important than trying to be impressive.I guess it's God's hand really on me. I have so many questions but glad to have some folks in my corner.
 
Instead of concentrating on your problems and getting discouraged, focus on God and meditate on His promises for you. You may have fallen down, but you don't have to stay down. God is ready, willing and able to pick you up. -Joyce Meyer

:yep::yep: and you are beginning to love what He loves and hate what He hates!
 
Love this verse so much that I have it highlighted in personal Bible & put on my timeline & Christian Random Scriptures. So, I will post it again:

"Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.'

This is the transforming power of the Holy Spirit!
 
I guess I really never fully believed in God's power. I don't blame myself becasue God and my childhood in the church wasn't about God's redemptive power. Now I see God's grace,love nad mercy in the churhch now. I see men who love God and are really about that life. I see men who believe in the doctrine. I see women being respected and allowed to be women. I see children being given grace and mercy and not beat down for acting out. See we act out God doesn't come and gives us a knuckle sandwich no he loves us and guides us back to him with love not abuse. God your so wonderful I can't even articulate it all.

I need guidence for life that is coming from God. I'm fighting the mind alot in regards to where my value comes from. It's not from being some big shot who has big money. It's in the one true God. I desire to be in a better place so I can help others and do nice things like giving gifts to the pastor wives and those who are new mommies. I would love to pour into them in a major way that doesn't include sale stuff but until God grants me more I will work with what I have.
 
Marriage isn't for your come up,shopping sprees or life of leisure. It's about ministry and growth. Marriage wasn't made to pit you over non married. Marriage was made to grow you and for you to truly move in Christ. We the body of Christ, the church is the bride of Christ. The husband is Christ Jesus in which he did the greatest thing of all die to cover the payment of our sin. I desire marriage but the more I learn about it the more I want it. Not any more vain reasons ie sex,status,money etc. It's truly a act of selfless love and growth. We don't fall out of love we fall out of lust. Lusting is desiring something for the wrong reasons. Love is a choice. Do you choose to love the ratchet person you have or do you discard them like yesterday's news? That's just not in the husband/wife situation but also with people.

I'm sick of people feeling like they can just throw people away oh so causally like this life is all about you. It's not!! It's about others. I'm not saying stay bff's with Pookie and them but others who may be down and out or may be really suffering it's a slap in the face of God to think oh they need to come on and grow up or come out of that. It's bothering me!! Who the heck are you to think so highly of yourself. Do you know your not your own,that you were bought for a price? Therefore we can't even try to get stuck on stupid and think that we are something.

Coming from a place of despair and darkness and now being brought out of it through Christ alone, my heart is troubled by those who are troubled. From marriage, to sexual identity,to poverty,to depression,to abuse. I read so much on this board that it saddens me that so many believe they are ok without Christ. You were created to worship either your worshiping the one true King or your worshiping Satan. There is life in death through Christ and it's pure joy to die for him daily. Not easy but great rewarding life is possible through Christ alone.
 
Create in me a clean heart and renew in me a right sprit..

Being 're-programmed' is most difficult...not kicking against the pricks....what we know or what we think it should be...Who is responsible for the way we think? our parents, the world system (media, friends, environment etc.,) but ultimately we are responsible when we meet up with the TRUTH of the word as Saul did on the road to Damascus change MUST take place, all my old ways, thoughts, ideologies must die and be replaced with the statutes, commandments precepts and ways of God, so that I can LIVE!


Ro 12:2
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. NIV

I amm experiencing this as well. I never wanted to be conservative or a "fanatic". But as I am growing my heart is changing. There is no such thing as neutral either you are for him or against him. The worst thing I can be is lukewarm. Either his word is true or it isn't. I dislike making people or myself uncomfortable by stating the truth according to the Word but I would hate to go to hell or lead someone else there by ignoring the Word.
 
I desire to be a Godly wife but can't get a date. Open my heart Lord and purge the desire. It hurts too deeply now that I may never know what intimate love is. But I won't stop seeking your face.
 
The more I learn about the Word and God the more I am become angry for not being taught this in church and a bit nervous. It seems one has to be really ok with being nothing in this life in order to receive heaven. It makes me so unsure of myself as I do desire to be more than a poor person from birth to death.
