Hello everyone, my mind and heart are being attacked. I'm experiencing many mixed emotions from the past and where I'm at right now in my life. I feel as If I haven't accomplished anything in life ever since I was forced to resign from teaching 6 years ago, and only because I didn't pass the Professional Developement exam. I feel especially bad because I'm not able to contribute enough financially in helping my parents. I'm currently a Health Care Provider but it doesn't pay much. I'm a bit on the shy side which is why my Ignite biz hasn't picked up. However, I'm grateful for many customers, but lacking motivated associates. I'm pertrified of driving because I'm afraid I won't be able to follow directions and would end up getting lossed. I've been thinking about how I have never had a boyfriend and the closest I had and whom I fell head over hills for turned out to be bisexual at the age of 34. I'm thinking, what on earth am I here for, what is my purpose in this life? Sometimes I wonder if God thinks I'm even worth anything as If He doesn't trust me to be a girlfriend, a wife, a biz owner, a wise driver. I feel I'm sitting Idle and I don't know what to do about it. I wish the LORD would take me with HIM because I think I can do much more with Him in heaven then here on earth. It's amazing because I use to be a woman of authority when I use to teach and felt like I was someone that contributed financially. I feel useless and unworthy right now. I'm asking for fervent prayers to please pray for the protection of my heart, my mind and mouth. I'm very disappointed right now. I feel I'm on the edge of tears streaming down my face but I don't want anyone to see me and feel concerned. I don't understand how I love talking about GOD so much but yet have little faith in what He CAN DO. I don't know what else to ask but hoping my spirit will pray for me and I'm also asking for your prayers.

Thank you and God bless all,

Illuminate

You don't trust yourself... not God
When you make choices in line with Gods will
Things do fall in place

Dear One
I want you to know there is a world
out there waiting to be discovered.
God loves you so much
Yet he has given us many promises
We are to claim those promises of blessing

First find out who you are in HIM
Be active in a spirit filled Bible based church
Assembly of God is a good denomination
if you do not know where to go
Dating only a person who is equally yoked
and who is also active in their walk with Jesus
is an absolute must.
Dating that man...even before you knew
I am certain he was not a light for Christ

Give your entire life to him
Right now say

Jesus
Take my pain, take my past my inadequacies
I give you my fears, distrust...everything

Purpose to forgive, everyone from your past
Set yourself free from that bondage of unforgiveness

Guard your mouth and tongue.
Do not claim fear, negative spirits, & those of I can't

Find what it means to command Satan
off of you and close the door to him
In jesus Name
You command him...Don't beg God
God gave you the tools
so use them to no longer let Satan steal
the peace and victory that is yours
You don't have to put up with him.
Caste him out
Just reading this
I see that you curse yourself and open the door
you....your very own self to Satan by your words
Guard your mouth!!!
Satan be gone!

I sence that teaching is not lost to you
if you look hard enough even calling schools that may
not advertise to see if they have a need
Study for that test or any tests again
Make it a priority
practice speaking with confidence
the tone. perk, and energy level of you voice
is how you convey that.

Speak the promise over your life
God does have a purpose for you
to find them...
You must find him..
When you do...
You will enjoy the journey
and all of these things will be added to you

illuminate-

Trust me my friend, I've been experiencing that same line of satan's deceptions since 2 years ago when I was let go from my job was told was permanent, then lost my home and forced to sell possessions and lived out of my truck for more than a year.

Still now, I have bouts with satan trying to destroy me thru feeling useless, unworthy and more. But, God has Blessed me with an old friend who gave me a place to restart my old buisness, another gave me a temp. place to live and now am working on a mobile home God Blessed me with and a place to temp. live in it.

Dear Lord- I pray you would help illuminate to realize you are still there with them, but like me, needs to stay calm and comforted in your peace, knowing you have a time and place for your plan for them. Bring peace and comfort to them by your presence in knowing you have something great waiting for them if will be patient, as you have taught me also, for as hard as it's been. In Jesus Christ's precious Name- Amen!!

Lorena, I read this yesterday and prayed in the spirit for you. There is so much to share with you but I think that I will just give you some nuggets to just hold onto. Life has much suffering, but too often we suffer unnecessarily because of lies that we believe about ourselves and our circumstances. We accept as fact the words spoken to us by an enemy who wants to destroy us. Remember the devil's tactic is to try to steal, kill and destroy. By throwing these lies to you, he is trying to take God's Word that lives/resides in you from you. You have to choose to take every thought captive and as the Word says "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" or you can allow the devil to feed you lies and manipulate your life. The enemy wants to convince you that your future is hopeless, or that you have no value, purpose or gifts or even abilities but our God says the exact opposite. Sweetie, believe God and don't listen to anything else. Never exchange God's truth for the devils lies. You are wonderful and precious and so loved. Give to God your everything. Refuse to stop looking back at the past, the past failures, the past regrets, the past heartaches. Give them all to Jesus. And start to look forward to all of the wonderful things that God has for you. Remember that our Father knows the plans that He has for us and those plans are to bless us with a wonderful future. Remember to delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Honey, the bible is rich with passages of God's promises for us. Claim each and every one because God paid it all for you to have them. Ok, so much for my brief nugget. I will wrap it with that you are loved, appreciated and blessed. Hold onto God's Word, His truths, His Promises and not ever give way to the devils whispers because they are all lies.


Loving Father, wrap Your arms around Lorena and draw her close. Father, silence the lies and show her Your promises, Your truths, Your Word. May Your Word reside in her so deeply that anytime she hears a lie she can combat it with the Word. Father, infuse Your Word deeply in her. Father, show her her worth and show her Your plans. Plant the vision. Plant her feet where she should go. I thank You in advance for the mighty move that You are doing within Lorena. She shall be surely changed. So be it, I pray. Amen

Good afternoon everyone, wow, I'm rather speachless upon reading such genuine and fervent prayers on my behalf. These prayers are AMAZING and very much appreciated from the bottom of my heart. I really wish that I could give each of you a huge HUG:-). I know the LORD has blessed me by having such a wonderful place to come and pray and express my deep mixed emotions with such BEAUTIFUL people such as yourselves that are very much CHRISTlike.

Thank you all and I will cut and paste all these wonderful prayers to "my favorites places" on aol. I will read them often before bedtime and remind myself how God cares in His special ways enough to show me thru all of you what He feels.

God bless each and everyone of you and your families and may HE continue to guide, and anoint you all, in Jesus mighty name, amen.

Once again, thank you so much.

Many blessings,

Lorena

Hello again,

I would like to ask for any suggestions on some books that I can purchase entitled or has anything to do with, " how to command satan to get out of my mind." I would really like to start taking authority by gaining knowledge with God's Word as to how to command this horrible fallen angel to leave me and my family alone, enough is enough! In Jesus name.

Thank you and God bless all, in Jesus name.

Lorena

It is true, the JOY of the Lord is your strength.

Praise and worship is a wonderful route to freedom.

When LIGHT comes, darkness flees.

Keep it flowing in your home, even if it is done discreetly, you will feel the difference.

Of course, the BIBLE.... Will be posting some scriptures/promises from God for you.

Also, I have read the Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyers. I read the Power of a Praying Woman by Stormie Omartian. I have I promise You, by Paula White (which is a book of God's assurances for Everyday Living......I have this at my desk at work. It is full of scriptures.) Also, The Joy-Filled life by Joel Osteen.

I also like Threshing Floor, by Juanita Bynum.
Same Spot, Different Season, by Pastor Rod Swinson

Those are the ones that I can think off the top of my head. I will think of some others.

Mho one doesn't have to command satan to get out of one's mind. If you
start speaking and/or singing praises, especially from the Word, he will find your mind to be an intolerable place to be. "YHWH inhabits the praises of His people." Praise is spiritual warfare. There is far more in the Scriptures written about praise than prayer, for example, though of course prayers
are vital always.

I will be praying for you. I am so sorry for what happened in the school system. It is to easy for us to be discouraged about our abilities when such things happen, but maybe the Father wants you in another work area and you would have never gone to your true place of service for Him while things were comfortable where you were. A thought.

I was thinking/praying about you when the coffee pot finished and I got up to go pour myself a cuppa.

I was standing at my kitchen counter, getting out things, spoon, cup, cream, sweetner, (I take EVERYTHING in my coffee) etc.

I picked up the pot to pour the coffee and I almost poured the coffee on the bottom of the cup! The cup was upside down.

It flashed into my head, 'Illuminate'!

I had the coffee and I had the cup but I could not pour in the coffee until the cup was 'in its right position and ready to receive'!

God loves and adores you, and has many blessings to pour out on you AND your family.

Maybe your cup is upside down and you aren't receiving.

Is there anything there? How could we flip that cup?

Just a thought,

Still praying,

Rachel R

May you wrap yourself in the fullness of His JOY today and bask in His PEACE and cling to His LOVE for you and discover His TRUTHS and PROMISES for your life. Be Blessed.
