Your post here truly hit home today and just soothed my heart and soul. The commute to and from work has been so draining the past several weeks and it is affecting everyone, not just me.
Today was.... unreal.
When I arrived home, I logged on and saw this.

You know what? This is such a blessed post and I sensed in my spirit right as I was reading it, that someone needed to read this and ponder on it in their heart. I don't know if its someone who is a member here or someone who lurks, but they need to remember this as a covenant and not just mere words to say.
I praise God for you, Shimmie...God Bless you, girl!

According to a new September 11 poll by the Barna Research Group, 41% of all United States adults believe the world is now living in the "end times" described in the Bible. The research group asked a random sample of 1000 Americans "Do you, personally, believe that the world is currently living in the ‘end times’ as described by prophecies in the Bible, or not?” 54 percent of Protestants and 77 percent of Evangelicals said yes! The response was much different among Catholics with 73 percent saying no, although among Catholics who attend mass regularly 45 percent said yes.

I heard a pastor say once we spend 8 hours sleeping 8 hours working and 8 hours doing what? Is God anywhere in the remaining 8 hrs.
Not to guilt anyone but to make you think, how much time to do we spend with God or doing the things of God each day. Most days it's all about us, our jobs and families and we usually give him (God) the left overs. I challenge you and I challenge myself to really make time God, yes we have obligations and responsibilities but none of it should come before God or take the place of God.
Remember this, only what we do for Chirst will last.

The Marriage Ceremony is Ministry. How many really and truly 'listen' to it and 'hear' what is actually being said, including the Bride and the Groom. Are the wedded couple so distracted with the 'hype' of the day, that they don't hear what God is saying to them as they enter into Marriage?
Are they entering in 'unadvisedly'... ?
This doesn't apply to "Marriage' only. It applies to every area of our lives. Whatever it is that we are about to embark upon. Whatever it is that we are about to 'commit' to do.
Before we make that commitment, to anyone or anything.... we wait and take heed to seek God first and to study the 'contract's bylines and the ever existing 'small / tiny' print. We stop, drop and pray .... All of our decisions should not be entered into, 'unadvisedly'.
In Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen...
Good Word, Healthy Hair... Good Word
Keep God in the 2-3 hour Commute... and during the 8 hours of work and even in our sleep.
"Holy Spirit, Welcome into My Dreams. Come inside and reside, speak freely to my heart, what you desire to speak to me....
Counsel my reigns in the 'night seasons (Psalm 16)... I welcome you to tell me what to do. When I awaken, I shall be refreshed and at peace for you sustained me through the night and into all of my days, for thou art with me. .. Always.
In Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen.

;cry: Awwwww, thank you. Sis you made my day.
Truly, you did. I had to call my attorney today and it took a lot for me to do so. It means 'changes' and filing against those in this situation; I just do not feel up to it.
I've been sitting here at my desk.. Sighing, thinking and talking to the Lord with a huge *Le Sigh*... He lead me to this thread and your message.
Thank you so much for being my sister and for being in tune to the Holy Spirit.
Sis, you 'heard' my *sigh*. Seriously, you did. All the way up here.
Thank you... so much.

"When I was a child, my minister father brought home a 12-year-old boy named Roger, whose parents had died from a drug overdose. There was no one to care for Roger, so my folks decided they’d just raise him as if he were one of their own sons.
"At first it was quite difficult for Roger to adjust to his new home—an environment free of heroine-addicted adults! Every day, several times a day, I heard my parents saying to Roger: ’No, no. That’s not how we behave in this family.’ ’No, no. You don’t have to scream or fight or hurt other people to get what you want.’ Or ’No, no, Roger, we expect you to show respect in this family.’ And in time Roger began to change.
"Now, did Roger have to make all those changes in order to become a part of the family? No. He was made a part of the family simply by the grace of my father. But did he then have to do a lot of hard work because he was in the family? You bet he did. It was tough for him to change, and he had to work at it. But he was motivated by gratitude for the incredible love he had received.
"Do you have a lot of hard work to do now that the Spirit has adopted you into God’s family? Certainly. But not in order to become a son or a daughter of the heavenly Father. No, you make those changes because you are a son or daughter. And every time you start to revert back to the old addictions to sin, the Holy Spirit will say to you, ’No, no. That’s not how we act in this family.’" (Craig Barnes, author and pastor of National Presbyterian Church, Washington, D.C.; from sermon "The Blessed Trinity," 5-30-99)

You ladies are so inspiring. I hope to be as in tune with the Holy Spirit as you all are one day.
I think I'm getting better though. I was reading Joyce Meyer's battlefield of the mind, but for some reason I stopped. I just felt something tell me I needed to continue reading. That's when I came across this chapter called Mind Binding Spirits. The Lord knew I needed to read that!
I have been feeling so out of touch lately. I didn't feel connected to God. Little did I know what was going on in the spiritual realm. I prayed for God to release me from Satan's strongholds in my life and let me tell you...I feel so good! Who would've thought that was the reason I have been feeling so out of it. I will never discredit how powerful Satan can be over my life again. He exists and he will sneak in if you allow him to.

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let your prophets and fortune-tellers who are with you in the land of Babylon trick you. Do not listen to their dreams, (Jeremiah 29:8 NLT)
I keep seeing this verse...I'm not sure how it applies to me, but it's obvious The Lord wants me to see it. I woke up feeling something wasn't right. Idk what's going on. I could just be overreacting but I'm definitely going to be aware of who I come into contact with today.

When someone tells people to NOT focus on sin, but to look only at the fact that God loves everybody, that that's the only thing that is important..... I say this, there will be many people that will be separate from God for eternity....
if they listen to him.
Yes, GOD LOVES MAN, but................HE HATES SIN.

I agree. People in sin should be made aware of the vileness of their sin and be told that GOD HATES sin (not sinners). And there is also a way to do it without having sinners feel 'judged', turned off, condemned. IMO I think most Christians really find it hard to strike a balance.
We should point out the sin yes, talk about how vile it is and how God hates it. BUT, we shouldn't point out someone's mistakes without pointing also to God's Mercy, don't talk about how guilty they are without talking about God's Grace, don't show them their failures without showing them the Forgiveness from God that is available to them.
Sinners should be allowed to feel ashamed of their sin as it will sometimes drive them to repentance. But they should know of the sure and only hope that is available for them. That there is as much grace available in Christ in proportion to whatever magnitude of their sin.
It takes wisdom to win and save souls.
