2019 Christian Random Thoughts. God Loves You No Matter What

[Lucia]

@Maracujá
Your post above just inspired me to put this out there.
I just have to say ladies but can we address the strong proliferation of the Jezebel spirit in the workplace and it’s in some churches too keep your eyes open watch and pray.
I see it how people are just scheming and back stabbing at work trying to get things their way so they either don’t have to do their full workload or try to get their workers written up in minor stuff I’ve even seen evidence of them setting people up. Then kissing up to the bosses while proliferating gossip to the bosses and all over the workplace. It’s just out of control.
Ladies we need to pray before going to work not just the regular daily prayer but specifically for the workplace.


Ladies I bind my faith with yours and we come into agreement
Matt 7 (ask and yea shall receive) and Matt 18:19 (any 2 ask my father in my name. .. )
In Jesus name we collectively and individually bind and cast out the Jezebels witchcraft Ahabs gossip spirits of the air and other mayhem argumentative and chaos confusion and all other spirits that came before them, with them from all our workplaces. We bind all the strongmen and workers of inequity in our workplaces They have no legal authority and
and call on the Lords mighty angels to chain them all to the foot of the cross forever to never return. Blind them so they know not what we do, on whom to take vengeance and so they receive their just punishments.
We pray for happy prosperous successful workdays where we complete our daily tasks with joy and praise on our lips. Amen!


Our workplaces should not be places of stress and torture that’s not Gods plan we should be happy in our jobs yes we have tasks and actual work to do but if your trained capable and prepared There shouldn’t be added stress confusion chaos heaped upon you just cause you choose to work there.

Do believers understand that Torah was a beginning, but not all of Yah's will? Does anyone actually believe YHWH will write His Will on your heart? Does anyone actually seek the Father's Will daily? His Will is the "daily bread" from the prayer Jesus taught. I am seeing a lot of faith in works, but little faith in His supernatural guidance.

 

[Lucia]

Ladies there’s a woman who allegedly wants to celebrate the anniversary of the Coumbine shootings by killing kids. We as Christians collectively need to rebuke this demon and come against anyone trying to commit violence to repeat a past tragedy and pray that they get caught before doing any harm.

I bind my faith with yours and all the praying Christians in the world, we put on the whole armor of God, Eph 6:10 we cover ourselves under the protection of the blood of the Lamb.
Lord father in heaven, we humbly ask in Jesus’ name we come against this and any evil demonic plot the enemy is trying to complete, we bind and cast down all spirits and workers of inequity behind these evil doings and send them all to the foot of the cross so they will never return. Begone begone begone forever! Blind them so that know not what we do, blind them so that they know not on whom to take vengeance blind them so they will receive the just sentence for all their works. We pray that all the weapons traps plots and schemes they have formed against your children may they fall into their own traps may their own weapons be used against them. May the children be protected by the blood of the lamb, (mantle your Mother Mary) angels and saints and may all these children go home safe to their parents today and everyday until you call them rightfully home.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen! Amen! Amen!

So glad you brought this up, because it's been on my mind lately. I truly believe this is the reason why so many Christians don't see God's hand in their day to day life. The idea that God would just put all of His word in the Bible is laughable. This is why these Scriptures are so important:

1 Corinthians 2:10

Philippians 2:5

To give one example: I see so many people around me struggling on financial terms and here I am, single as a dollar bill, with no such issues at all. When I moved out on my own, I asked God for guidance and He showed out. Right now, I'm about to embark on another phase of my womanhood life and I'm already praying for supernatural guidance.

 

[Sharpened]

The idea that God would just put all of His word in the Bible is laughable.

He has a word for all of us, whether or not we find it in the Bible. He is always in motion, always revealing. A simple seeking, "Father, what is Your will for me today" is a great start. If one is consistent and persistent, answers will be given.

Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

Jeremiah 24:7 I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD. They will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with all their heart.

Jeremiah 32:39 I will give them one heart and one way, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and for the good of their children after them.

Jeremiah 31:33 "But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people."

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put My laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds.

2 Corinthians 3:3 It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

While every day is a day of prayer in the life of a Believer, let's remember the Nation as a whole today.

May 2, 2019 - National Day of Prayer


2019 NATIONAL PRAYER FOR AMERICA
ALMIGHTY GOD, our Heavenly Father, we look to You alone for the future of America. By Your providence, You have placed each of us here at this time in history to be in this nation. Thank You for this blessing. Thank You for America.

BUT ABOVE ALL, we thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. It is in His name, we come to You as we intercede in prayer for America.

FORGIVE US, OH LORD, for the sins we have committed against You in America. We are failing You by dishonoring one another through our harsh and bitter words about each other. We are failing You through broken relationships. We are failing You by devaluing human life from conception until death. We are failing You with the division in our nation.

LORD, WE TURN FROM these sinful actions and refuse to live this way. Please forgive us now and help us to choose love over hate, unity over division, and life over death.

WE CHOOSE to live by Jesus’ words: Love One Another. Therefore, upon the authority of Your Word in John 13:34, “Love one another. Just as I have loved you,” we pray for a future America that will choose to love willfully, sacrificially, and unconditionally just like Jesus loves us.

WE PRAY FOR THE CHURCH in America to love one another. Empower each church to be full of love for one another. Ignite a revival of love for one another. Since we are to be known by our love, help us to love one another.

WE PRAY FOR EVERY FAMILY, EVERY WORKPLACE, EVERY COMMUNITY, AND EVERY CITY IN AMERICA to choose love. We believe there is power in love. We believe love is the better way. We believe love is God’s Way. Oh Lord, change families, workplaces, communities, and cities through the power of love. Raise up a Love One Another movement across America.

WE PRAY FOR ALL ETHNICITIES AND PEOPLE IN AMERICA to love one another. Lord, tear down every wall of division and change any attitude that divides us today. Bind up our nation’s wounds and may the transforming love of God lead us to the day when justice will roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.

WE PRAY FOR YOUR LOVE to surround America. We pray for Your love to surround and protect us in every public setting and private place. Protect us from harm.

WE BELIEVE ALL OF THESE THINGS, OH LORD, represent our deep need for the next great move of God across America. We ask You alone for the next Great Spiritual Awakening in America. Please, oh God, wake up Your church and revive Your people today. We ask You to begin a mighty spiritual awakening in every town, every city, and every county in America.

WE NEED AND DESIRE THIS SO MUCH, THAT BEGINNING RIGHT NOW, we are choosing love and forgiveness, love and restitution, love and healing, love and unity, and a future that will be transformed by the power of unconditional love. When we belong to You, we belong to love. We choose to Love One Another!

IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, the only Savior and Hope in this world we pray. Amen.

@Laela, thank you for posting the above prayer. It is exactly what I asked the Lord for in my quiet time with Him this morning. I came here to post about us getting back to loving each other and then I saw the prayer you posted. All of the answers in Christ are yea and Amen! I set myself in agreement with the prayer above and believe that we have whatsoever we ask the Father in Jesus' name, Amen!

Happy Mother's Day to all of moms.

The Spirit has been leading me to study Isaac's life as of late. Been single for 14 years now and am starting to feel like it may not ever happen for me. Then I started reading Isaac's story with Rebekah, as it is one of the most perfect unions described in the Bible.

Now I understand why they call The Word, the LIVING Word okay?

I used to glance over the fact that Isaac and Rebekah waited 20 years for their twin boys. I had to reread that part several times to let it marinate and sink in. It gave me hope.

Recently did some research and found out that, unlike his father or son, Isaac:

* never changed his name
* never migrated anywhere else
* never took on any other wife besides Rebekah

Talk about being the promised child. Things to ponder.

Destroying the Shroud

The Scriptures, as well as our experience, tell us that a shroud of ignorance and evil covers the world, blinding all of us to God’s love (Isaiah 25:7). Selfishness and greed, our self-sufficiency, our lust for power or image—all these compulsions obscure our vision, making us unable to clearly see the God who “in perfect faithfulness [has] done wonderful things” (v. 1).

 

[Maracujá]

^^^Amen.

Have hated PDA ever since I was a little girl. Hailing from an African cultural background, there's very little PDA to begin with, yet people literally went the extra mile, simply to help others back in the days there.

Judas kissed Jesus before he betrayed Him. Orpah kissed Naomi before she left her. And I am sure there are many other such examples in the Bible.

PDA is widely practiced in the Western Hemisphere, so far, I haven't had a chance to compare the divorce rates of countries here vs. the Arabian Peninsula, Asia and Africa. Places where PDA is frowned upon. But I have a gut feeling that I wouldn't be too surprised at the results.

Close to 15 years ago, I was in a situationship with a guy, who constantly wanted to showcase PDA. That's how I knew he did not love me.

 

[Maracujá]

A couple of years ago, someone here or on a Catholic blog made the comment that most people were getting away with sin. To which someone else replied: "It only seems that way. Stick around for 10-20 years and then see."

Well, I've been alive for more than 10-20 years and ummm...this is scary. Can some of you seasoned Christian ladies delve deep into the topic of sowing and reaping? Both in the negative as in the positive sense. Please and thank you .

The only thing that pops up in my mind is it's one of those "laws written in the hearts of men" (Romans 2:14-15) that other religions discuss as well. Father Yah set everything into motion, including natural and supernatural laws, that even nonbelievers can see the fruits of it. This is also why when believers' sins are made public, the nonbelievers are quick to criticize and at times, more harshly.

What is the Ekklesia (the Called-Out Ones) sowing right now? What are we reaping? We do not fully understand what Jesus meant when He said "we are light on the hill" and not to "hide a lamp under a basket." It is not about the sin, but being His light (a demonstration of His will and active love) in the world. We need to start being "a lamp unto His feet" (being His instrument in the world) instead of worrying about other people's lamps.

@Lucia … Although I'm late seeing this post, I cannot thank God enough for your heart of love for God and for everyone. Although this woman is dead, that spirit is still active in the form of all of the mass shootings that have occurred since during this spring and summer of 2019.

Your prayer is critical as it covers the 'attacks' that loom in the minds of those with premeditated evil of mass killings of innocent lives. Your prayer is also specific in covering and protecting children. How timely, for this as school begins it's Fall season.

I stand in full agreement for it is indeed a prayer lead of the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we cannot afford to be out of agreement when it comes to prayers of protection. It is one of the biggest expressions of love that we can share with one another. One's religion means nothing if God cannot use it to HIS Glory. Again, I praise God and will share this prayer where only God gets the glory...

God bless you and everyone on this forum. Unity is beyond necessity; beyond 'key'.

Praying for her...

I don’t have a problem with someone giving a kiss on the cheek or an innocent hug, family or friends because I’m from a Latin background and that what we do. Now if it’s a couple they should keep their PDA to a minimum and innocent like kiss on the cheeks, holding hands, hugs, innocent kiss on the lips, and all that with a qualifier if in public only when necessary like leaving for a long trip etc otherwise just keep it around family and friends In all things moderation.
Where the line needs to be drawn is when people are knowingly in an open very public space and they’re going at it like deep kissing, foreplay manhandling, fondling, foreplay etc,,,(all things some people think is OK to do in public even where children are present BTW) all if that is too much and really is offensive disrespectful to the woman, everyone else and the relationship.
I’ve always been told that if a couple is always or has to go out of their way in public or he’s the love of my life declarations everyday all day long and or extreme OTT PDA then Their relationship is bad, a sham, and their just putting on. Show for the public.

My fam was traveling once and their was this good liking young coule and they were PDA and OTT dramatic declarations all the time but they had. Cabin next to ours and we heard knock down drag out fights with all kinds of profanity belittling etc. it’s like as soon as they stepped in their room the masks came off. A man is supposed to love his wife as Christ loved the church, that automatically implies respect protection kindness true love and the willingness to lay down his life for her and children. When a man is into excessive pda he’s just trying to pimp a woman out, and trying devalue her publicly like look at what I’ve got and look at what she can do.

I glad you got out of that situationship. Some men are slick they won’t just grab you or put a hand where it doesn’t belong at first it could be the conversation topic turns overtly sexual or sexual jokes also put down and meaness towards you out of thin air verbally or about his ex or women in general, comments then he’ll say I was only kidding or joking, lighten up. No you need to check them right at that moment don’t let it slide. Especially when you’ve barely met or know him also if at any point in the relationship he starts doing these things, draw your line. If he cannot or will not respect you, Drop him block him on all communications and ghost him quick he’s an abuser and may secretly hate women.

My advice to you if a man is trying to push your private space or comfort zones too quickly check him quick on it assertively with firmness let him know ONCE that pda or more is a NO! We have to have clear boundaries as women and not let men or society pressure us into what suits them.
But I find that men who were well brought up with respect for women don’t do this usually.
This should be on the Christian single ladies thread.

DH had to remind me that sometimes people are "too young" to understand what I'm saying, no matter how much I break it down. *sigh*
