2013 - Christian Random Thoughts Thread

[Iwanthealthyhair67]

Prayer meeting last night was intense, many received their deliverance...It's not always a quick process so if you wanted to go home and catch your favorite Monday night movie you would have missed it, deliverance calls for tarrying. Almost at the end of prayer a younger sister came over and embraced me , I wept like a baby I don't know where that came from but I left out there feeling lighter . I thank God for my sister's obedience.

We had a lovely prayer meeting tonight. I am so glad to be led to go.

I thank God for your faithful obedience and compassion for such intense prayer for these types of prayer are truly intense and yet fruitful... abundantly fruitful for our Black men.

I didn't want to post this article in your thread as it would have started a string of responses which would have distracted from the prayers being posted. I wanted to thank you here to avoid any derailments.

God bless you.

Last night at church obedience and respect for authority was preached.

Do you respect your pastors and elders, do you follow their instructions?

Do you know that they represent God (or at least should)?

The Coming Wealth Transfer
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2, by Os Hillman
10-24-2013
But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous (Prov 13:22).

In the last days there will be a transfer of wealth into the hands of the righteous for the purpose of funding a great harvest of souls and for believers to have greater influence on society in the name of Christ. This will happen in at least four ways.

1. Supernatural Transfer - Like the Israelites leaving Egypt, Christians and non-profit organizations will receive major gifts from individuals or foundations to carryout their Christian mission. In 2004, the Salvation Army received one of the largest gifts ever for Christian ministry via the founder's wife of McDonald's, Joan Kroc, in the amount of 1.5 billion dollars.

2. Power to Make Wealth - God is going to give witty inventions to believers throughout the world that will generate wealth. This has already begun. "But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today" (Deut 8:18).

3. Social Entrepreneurship - Just as Joseph was entrusted with the resources of Egypt to solve a societal problem resulting from a famine in the land, God is going to transfer money to believers who are solving societal problems. Governments will fund private enterprises because government is not been able to do it.

4. Wealthy Individual "Conversions" ? Finally, many non-believers who are wealthy will become Christians in these last days and will begin to use their wealth for Kingdom purposes.

The transfer of wealth is designed to accelerate God's activity on the earth, not to simply make believers wealthy. Pray that God uses your work life call to accelerate His Kingdom on earth. And pray that God raises up good stewards of wealth.

Hmmmm. This sounds like dominion theology.

Shimmie thank you for sharing this article. And I thank God for giving each one of us a heart to pray for our young boys and men.

I truly believe God is not please with what is going on in our culture (the music, in the schools, in the homes, the pulpit, the white house, community) and He is sounding the alarm....

I agree the timing is perfect for prayer for our young men.

Thank you PinkPebbles and Laela...

Prayers for our men and boys is so ever needed now more than ever before. These are God's intended Leaders and the enemy is out to prevent their God filled Destinies.

Our prayers prevail against the kingdom of darkness...for darkness cannot 'see' to end their Destiny... Praise God forever.

Are You Under Attack?

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. -Matthew 26:41

When it comes to a spiritual attack, it is crucial to recognize the warning signs. Take a look at some of the ways you can detect the devil trying to slither his way into your life:
​

· You have a loss of spiritual desire.
· You experience physical fatigue.
· You are under “lack attack.”
· You have a weakening prayer life.
· You feel overwhelmed and hopeless.
· Old habits and lifestyle begin to resurface in your life.
· You pull away from godly relationships.

If you are experiencing any of these in your life, watch out!

Think About It
Name one instance in your life recently where you know without a doubt that you were under spiritual attack. What made you vulnerable?

Heavenly Father,

Open my eyes to the hidden attacks of the enemy today. Help me to strengthen my walk of faith by inhaling the Word of God and exhaling with prayer. I make a new commitment today to spend time breathing You in. Amen.

God is good!

Yep... He surely is .... God surely is Good, all the time.

 

[aribell]

It seems the world right now is growing tired of itself...very interesting. I wonder what is happening spiritually behind it all.

so my co-worker a pastor's wife, said she had to hurry get home yesterday because her husband (the pastor) was getting the kids ready for Halloween, they were taking the kids to the mall to go trick or treatingerplexed

 

[LadyRaider]

Wow. So I like the main service at this new church. I have been going for a while. I really like the little Aggie Pastor. I do think it's strange that in a church that huge there are NO blacks and latinos? None??? I mean I understand I am from Austin and this is San Angelo. But still...

Today I decided to go to Sunday School. But the class I picked in the guide had "disbanded." Nice lady decides to deliver me to the new class on the schedule.

I'm not that young, but everyone in there was easily 30 years older than me.
You know that saying where it talks about, "At first they came for the jews... and I didn't say anything..."?

Well they started talking in an ignorant fashion about immigrants. All these foreigners having all these babies (some tie to the Egypt "king" wanting to kill all the hebrew babies.)

So this old lady says, "I'm not worried about their skin color. I'm worried that the muslims will soon outnumber the christians."

So I'm sitting there not saying anything, but thinking, "ALL THOSE BROWN PEOPLE ARE CATHOLICS PREDOMINATELY, YOU IDIOT."

But see? I didn't say anything.

Then the 81 year old who is leading the "discussion" starts rambling off topic that in America some of the slaves had it good. That slavery was better than welfare. Classic rightwing revisionist history.

I had to say something then. I just said, "No there's nothing worse than not being free. Freedom is worth dying for." I could have gone on mentioning the American Revolution and revisionist history to assuage guilt.

Meh... old dude stuck to his guns. I couldn't wait to get out of there. My dad warned me about Sunday School. I should have listened.

It appears that God is showing you 'beneath the surface' ... the hearts that dwell therein.

The Holy Spirit is teaching you something He teaches us all, wherever we are.. . wherever.

I know, Healthy Hair... I know *huge sigh*.

Are they not thinking, let alone, praying before they partake of such of this?

 

[Laela]

The child's name means Faith... I get angry sometimes when these things happen. All that keeps me going is I really trust God. He sees all and I'm settled in my spirit with that. No one/nothing can take that from me.

Laela, what happen sweetheart?

 

[Laela]

Shimmie.... was a random introspective thought on what I've been seeing in the news lately, particularly one about a child burned and thrown into a trash can by her "parents"... among other 'news'. I just happened to look up what her name mean and expressed my thoughts... I trust all's well with you, Big Sis!

 

[Laela]

Isaiah 61:10
King James Version (KJV)
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Thanks for sharing Laela. Such a heartbreak that is, especially with so many couples who desire to have children and have been unable. Couples who would never harm a child but love them beyond measure.


As for me, all is well and I pray for you and Hubby likewise.

Love the two of you very much and more.

Always,

My friend told me not to give up on the Sunday Schools. So I tried again today. I went to one led by one of the employees of the church. I think she's the minister of families or something.

Win. Win. I enjoyed the people, and the little lesson. Then they had food. Yay.

Unfortunately the old dude who led last week's sunday school saw me as I was heading down for the food. He said, "I didn't offend you last week, did I?" I said, "No. I just went to this Sunday School because they promised to feed me."

Shrug... later the lady, Jill, who is some sort of minister asked me about it. I told her I was indeed offended last week, and I told her what he said about slavery being better than welfare (she asked). She looked appalled and said something about "crazy white people." Hah hah. Her words, not mine.

Don't give up on God... He loves you too much to disappoint you or lose you.

As for the teachers who have 'food', that's cool, however always remember what Jesus said:

"Man cannot live by bread alone..."

Not all teachers who offer food for the body will have food for the soul.

Best wishes on your journey, it's very interesting and I am blessed by your posts. Keep them coming... Promise?
