It's Not The Forum That Needs Prayer...

[Shimmie]

I just came away from reading quite a lot of threads and posts. My PM box has also been quite active. And as I was reading through the posts in others areas of this Forum, I saw what I've always seen, very hurting people. But the wounds are much deeper, now. My heart grieves for what I see.

It seems that the 'closer' we get to the Coming of Jesus, the deeper satan cuts into the lives and hearts of so many who have no defense of him.

I saw something that I cannot fix. No one can fix it. For the times are just that close to His 'Return.' The 'hour' is just that close. Only Jesus can intervene.

The closer His Hour, the deeper the wounds of those who have no defense. Those who have no weapons of warfare.

Each one, take one. Be it here or there among you with your family and loved ones. Each one take one. Give them what they need to be strong and to fight the good fight of faith and to stand strong in the evil day for which lies ahead.

Jesus said that when we 'hear ' of these things, for those who 'know Him' to see to it that you are not troubled! See to it that you are not troubled! Look up for your Salvation draws near.

Gather your children and teach them, not fear, but the knowledge of their spiritual gifts. Lay at their bedsides while they are sleeping and pray over them and annoint them from the enemy's deceptions.

Embrace your husbands and pray for his day to be fruitful of the Lord and not of man. Protect his mind from reacting in fear.

Embrace and posssess your soul. Gain control of your mind and your directions; allow God to redefine your plans and seal your Purpose.

Embrace whom God embraces you to. Let Him create the bonds He has for you to joined to. Gather and store the 'Oils' of God's wisdom in your hearts and allow Him to keep your Light shining in darkness.

Be Ready to receive His glory upon you, for He's preparing you for the battle and the Victory which lies ahead. :Rose:

Well, my PM box is empty... but God bless you and all those who seek him who come to the CF to help encourage others. True, there are lot of hurting people out there. We just have to pray and pray and pray.... We wrestle not against FLESH. I have to remind myself of this...

Amen (and good night )

It won't be empty for long, I could fill it up just sharing my adventures to and from work on the train ....

Laela, you're making a huge difference in the this forum, with your prayers of love, support and wisdom. A beautiful difference. There are so many strong women in this ForHim (forum); a lot. Beyond hair care, I've learned in these past few years that I've been here, what no college could never teach me. :Rose:

I don't ever want to be in this world without Jesus, Prayer and my Church. It's keeps me, my family, friends, loved ones, able to endure.

Whether or not ppl contact you is not a testament to what you do anywhere... Popularity shouldn't a goal for this forum... I think that you have shown that you are a true Christian, and are able to have a discussion without name-calling, etc... I appreciate you Lae

Thank you dear shimmie, i am no where near to where i need to be but i feel him calling me and drawing me near. Amen

I dont post much but I would like to thank you Shimmie for allowing the Lord to use you to encourage and speak His word which is Truth. I pray that you will continue in the work of the Lord and not be moved by the attacks of the enemy. Be encouraged and continue to be strengthen by His word and His presence.

The words in your post are so true, its time to embrace and gather in. There is no time to play around in the world, sin, offenses, unforgiveness, and the unholy thing. God desires our worship, praise, and relationship. He has great things in store for us but we wont walk in those things if we are distracted by everything else. It's time to get things in order in our lives, minds, families, and help those around us.


Praise your name God. I receive your word and I stand on your promises.

Shimmie, God has given you a gift of beautifully and truthfully speaking his word. Blessed are the peace makers.

You ladies are awesome. Iron sharpens iron. You all sharpen me and cause me to look within. Jesus is #1 in my life. My desire is to always be pleasing to Him and to hear Him say "well done" when I stand before him. Forums come and go, but eternity and where we spend it, is forever.

This thread reminded me to continually put on the whole armor of God. God is good!! Be blessed ladies and let your life be a blessing to others.

 

[southernstyle]

You are each such an encouragement and a true gift from God!

Thank you!
We are all beautiful.
Shimmie has a special gift : she is a river of encouragement. Sometimes, I come to this forum just to read for encouragement, and she is always right on time (on word).
Praise the Lord!
May God guide you all through His Word by His Holy Spirit!

 

[mswoman]

Thanks for the encouragement. Hugs to you!

 

[Finally Free]

Beautifully said & very encouraging Shims! I really love and enjoy your spirit & posts. You are always on point. Please keep doing what you do, because as you see, there are some listeners out here. May God continue to bless you with your beautiful mind and spirit. Thanks!

 

[paradise1975]

Shimmie Thank you for this discernment and truth. The day and the hour of our Kings return is so near and we must keep ourselves, our husbands, children and each other covered with prayer and encouragement. We should reach out to the hurting and the lonely and show them the way to righteousness. Thank you for allowing God to use you as a vessel to lead the lost to Him and His glory.

I'm so sorry that I hurt your feelings. Last night I cried for you. I cried because you were 'publicly' looking for your 'friend', asking others to help you, for your friend had not responded to you.

You were so open and honest and you put yourself out there, looking for someone that you cared about. You may not ever believe this, and that's perfectly okay, but I don't ever want you to hurt or have to search for someone that you care about ever again. I pray that you will be able to 'draw' love from those who deserve your love in return.

When I started this thread, I was thinking of you. My heart hurt for you just that much. God has plan for you and only you have the power and the will to allow Him to prepare you for it. It's not an easy journey. Not everyone will like you; not everyone will try to. Not everyone will agree with you neither will everyone join you as you grow in the Lord. For what He will do is separate you from everything and everyone who is a distraction and a hindrance to His best for you.

In the end, you will have a peace beyond any that you have ever known. I don't ever want to see you hurting or publicly searching for your 'friend' again and they do not respond. You are above that. You have a long way to go, but you'll make it and you will achieve all that God our Father 'believes' in you. For He has placed His Spirit above you, and the moment you are ready, the two of you shall be 'One'.

In the meantime, look for the good and speak highly of it. For the good speaks highly of you. Love is yours beyond what you see right now.

You're in my prayers... :Rose:

 

[Shimmie]

Ladies, thank you I'm not too long getting home; I've been away from my computer since this morning. I apologize for the delay in responding.

God is moving and moving in ways that we have never seen before. It's about each of us, not one, not two or three, but each and everyone of us... fulfilling the Plan of God.

You are blessings in my heart, each of you. I praise God that it's Him that we serve and no other. Also that 'each of you' are the people that I care about and pray with and pray for ................. and not marsians.

You're a class act, babe, for real.

Shimmie I am confused... I have sent you several pms, but you refuse to address me privately... only in threads for all to see like the quoted below... am I some kind of forum PR stunt? honestly... I am very confused. Your very kind words are shaded by passive-agressiveness and double-talk. And I say that with honesty and love...
I don't know what to think about you and your posts. It seems that you have touched so many, yet the gray area is hard for me to ignore... And I know that I am new but this became an issue when you called me out several times...
I know that you didn't like that I said that people get "corrected" wrongfully... and I said that very soon after I joined... , but that wasn't for you, it was a general statement, and that is something that I don't like IRL, not just on this forum...
I am embarrassed to write this post because I don't know you, but I am a member of this forum and since we all recognize that this is just like real life cuz we're all real people and this is a community... I just want to know, what is going on?
And all of these things you say about me, such as me having a long way to go, me blaming the body of Christ for my shortcomings... how could you possibly know? What are my shortcomings Shimmie? What are all of these specific things you speak of?
If this is a real apology, I am happy to accept... and I forgive you for that post the other day. It did hurt my feelings.
I just don't understand why this clash of personalities between us must be so public...
I have attempted to reach out to you privately since the very first time that it appeared that I offended you, and you have not responded to me in PM... just posts in these threads...
Sorry for the novel. I hope you can see this as a conversation and not be offended, because it is truly not my intention to offend. Remember, I'm just as much saved as you are and I love Jesus, so I love you, as HE has charged me to do. Please remember that...
I am praying for resolution... If you have been praying for me, thank you.

This is truly one of the least graceful posts I've seen in a while. I'm really sorry, but you seem to love to keep drama going. Can't you accept an apology? If you have that much of a problem with her, this needs to go to private message. For all the people who lurk, I'm so sorry they have to see this. And you can think I'm being unfair to you, but I'm being honest. This is really sad. This is supposed to be the Christian forum, but it's a place full of drama, mayhem, and discord.

Please don't ask why I close threads in the future. This is why. The forum is supposed to be a place of fellowship and worship, not this "made for tv" side show that's been happening here lately.
