Hi all. Been kind of busy and in other threads. I have been seeking God more, and that's been the most awesome experience ever! He led me to go away a couple days, just with Him alone, and it has started something so new and beautiful: a new level in our relationship. Well, something I was moving into just before I went, but this really demented it in. Long story short: He wants His children to spend time with Him. Not asking for anything, just BEing in His Presence. Today, He told me not to tell Him what I wanted Him to do when I came to spend time with Him. To just be quiet and let Him do whatever He wanted to. I believe this is going to revolutionize my life! I will be hearing and seeing whatever HE wants me to, straight from the throne and heart of God. I won't have to wonder if it's me. I will just let go of all the clutter in my mind, and let Him minister to me. Making me hungry to go there now. Such peace when I've been there lately!!!

Just for prayer: Pray I can pay my internet bill and buy gorceries (money VERY tight until pay day on 20th). Or if I get disconnected, can REALLY seek God, and will know it was Him calling me to get off anointed.net so much and spend uninterrpted time with Him.

Seeking HIM in 2004

Praise the Lord!!! I found enough to pay the internet bill! Something had already cleared that I thought was still coming out after my pay check was deposited! God already had the whole thing taken care of!:

24"It shall come to pass
That before they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will hear. (Isaiah 65:24)

Now, to pray in a few groceries....

The $101 fine was dismissed!!! I shared this in other threads and was not sure if I did in this one. My check was returned along with the ticket. The check said "VOID" in big black letters. The ticket had "Dismissed, 6-2-04" written on it. The ENDORSE HERE section on the back of the check had the court address scribbled out! So -- WHOOHOO!!! -- God is good!!! He is rewarding my efforts to seek Him, only Him, as He told me He would at the beginning of 2004. He said if we just got in the glory, the miracles would roll in. It's like He planned to take all the effort out of it. All we had to do was focus on Him, get our eyes off the problem, turn our eyes on Jesus, seek Him, come into His Presence, and we would see the miracles. That has definitely been happening in my life this year!!!

Hello dear friends.
I miss you guys! But I hope you are enjoying summer, I know I am. It's been a week at my new job here down town. I hate being the new one. I need discernment as to what to do next in this company. Also I will be traveling to Utah sometime next week and need prayers for traveling mercies. Also I've been carless now since the second of this month and I need wheels again which is another reason I can't post very much, but I will try to make it at least once a week...

hi guys. Sorry I have been pretty sporadic with my visits lately. I really need your prayers though. I feel like I haven't been getting as close to God as I should be or as I was at one point. I've been kind of down lately too so try if youwould to lift me up and get me out of these blahs i'm in.

Help me in this friends! Emailed to me:


Jerena,

For more than 15 months, Grassfire has stood behind our
President. Even back then, we warned that attacks against him
would be furious and supporters would have to stand firm.

Now it's more important than ever to stand up for our
Commander-in-Chief.

The release Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911, is the latest attempt
to spread venomous lies to destroy this administration and
ultimately affect the outcome of the November elections.

However this docu-fantasy is just one of a number of vicious
attacks on the President in recent days, including: Nancy Pelosi,
Al Gore, and Sen. Kennedy and others.

+ + "I Support the President Week"

To counter this latest wave of attacks, Grassfire is proclaiming
next week (beginning July 6) as "I Support the President Week".

We are out to defy those truth bending, hate-mongers whose
attempts to censure, impeach and ultimately destroy our President
are in reality only putting our troops and our nation at greater
risk.

Beginning Monday, July 6, Grassfire will mount an aggressive
grassroots campaign that includes:

+ + Petition deliveries to those elected officials identified
as leaders in the campaign to undermine the President,

+ + Calls to Senators urging them to publicly oppose these
public attacks,

+ + Calls, e-mails to the White House expressing support
and birthday wishes to President Bush.


Jerena, We are hoping for 100% participation from
everyone who supports our President. That's why in the days
leading up to this campaign, we are asking you to alert your
friends. Encourage them to take part also.

A great place to start would be encouraging them to ad their
name to our "I Support the Commander-in-Chief" petition:

http://www.grassfire*****/26/petition.asp?RID=5269399

Let's turn out in force next week to show those who want to
destroy our President that America is proud of our Commander-
in-Chief!

and urge them to join with you by clicking here:

Hello fellow warriors. I am still waiting for some breakthrough with my investment home, hoping it is not completely lost but that either I get to keep it after the bankruptcy is over or that an outside party buys it so the proceeds go towards my debts. Certainly God doesn't want me to completely lose this house after all I've gone through with it. I shall get something out of it.

Its been a year, well almost a year since I have been a member of the board. It comes to show you all the trends of my growing in my faith. You all have seen the lengthy wilderness I have gone through this past year. Though the trials I have suffered started long before I became a member of the board. I am still not completely out yet, but closer than ever.

I hope I can be a friend to you all, for those who would like to share in friendship and fellowship. God bless you all.

Your sister in Christ

Janet

Hello everyone,

Lynn I am saying a special prayer for you this evening at 10:00 mst. Hope it helps. Janet, hi! nice to meet you. Don't despair I lost my business and became extremely indebted a few months ago yet it was one of my closest moments with God. I don't have time to post my testimony yet but trust in God to lead you to the right place. By the way I also have a black sheperd, his name is Rhett. Tonight I will be praying for you also.

It seems as soon as I was able to get back on line circumstances have prevented me from doing what I want to here, which is praying for others. I am praying and hoping that this situation changes and I have a little more time to spend here.

Jeri, thanks for all of your prayers. Can anyone update me on Talena and Pickle?

God bless you all,

Jan

Hi all Long time no see. I've finally got some free time. I just got back from Salt Lake City yesterday. I didn't stay as long as I wanted to though. I'm expecting to fly down there two (or 3) more times this year. I wonder if I should move down there for a while, maybe just for this year. I don't know, I need wisdom. Also the chat room is finally working for me now, but when I went in there no one was there *gasp* where are all the chatters?


Posted by: StarChilde

Janet welcome~ sorry to have not said anything sooner... you might say I have been on "the front lines". I have been doing a lot of learning lately... some of it hurts.. *ouch*, but is still good... I want to leave the following for all~ it's certainly not my best piece of work, but was done in the wee hours of morn~ know there is a lot of love behind it~ and God bless all and have a safe and happy 4th of July, and knowing it to be the celebration of the independence of America... let it be a reminder of the freedom that we all have through Christ Jesus~ amen and amen!~




Posted by: lburgess24740

hey janet and jan I also have a black shepherd. Not sure if mine is purebred though. We rescued him about 7 years ago. Someone threw him out of their vehicle where my (ex) husband was working at the time. They threw him out while the vehicle was moving. He looked like they had starved him and he had been beaten in the head. He's a really a good obedient dog. I can't understand why someone treated him so badly. His name is bear.

Lynn

For ALL who come into this thread~ This is a real eye-opener... please go look at it... God bless



How MUCH are YOU loved? click *here*

Please know that as I read all of the requests here,of my dear brethren here that I am praying for you, for all the requests in the best way I know of~ praying in the spirit, the perfect will of God for your situation~



through all prayer and supplication pray at all seasons in the Spirit, and with this in view, keep alert with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints, Eph. 6:18


Posted by: jedijeb

Well been a while since I have been doing what I should be doing. The enemy got his hooks in me and I just could not seem to even get myself to pray lately. It does feel good to be back talking to the Lord again as I should and fighting against those things which pull me away instead of just giving up and doing nothing. I can still use the prayers though, and I want to be stronger than ever in the Lord. God is so wonderful, because just within the first day I begin to devote myself to Him anew I see things happening . A weight has been lifted off me and I feel refreshed as I come to Jesus with all I am. I hope others who may face something similar will know that God is waiting and will be there with you through it all, good and bad. Praise His name.

James,

I was just thinking about you and was going to ask about you when I saw you post the other day. Sorry, I just now got around to posting. Life is too busy these days but I hope to get back to business myself as soon as possible. Glad to know you are doing well. Do you hear from Laura? I understand Talena was banned??????????? Only satan could have had a hand in that. If it's true then we should be praying for her.

God bless,

Jan

Hello : )

I think Talena uses a public computer. She probably didn't log off correctly and some one else might have used her account. I just can not believe that she would do something to get banned at all.

Yes Lord, bless and keep Talena. Touch her this day, even now. Give her comfort, peace, provision and total healing inside and out. By your stripes, she is healed in Jesus name. Thank you Lord.


Posted by: jedijeb

I havent heard from Talena or Laura in quite some time, but I did just check Talena's profile and it doesn't say she is banned just offline. I know that when someone is banned it usually shows up beside their name in an old post that they are banned. So hopefully she just cant get online. I do pray that she is well and if anyone out there knows how either her or Laura are doing I hope they will give us a note.

Father I ask that You would touch both Talena and Laura and bless them in this time away from us. Lord grant them peace and strength and health and let them know that You love them and that we here love them. Lord send us word of how they are doing. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

hello guys I've been gone on my vacation and just now getting caught up on things. I went to kentucky to see my dad. I really did not have as good a visit as I had hoped with him. When my dad was in his car accident a couple years ago my cousin moved in to help him out cause he had to learn how to walk again and now not only is she living there but here daughter granddaughter and daughter's boyfriend. I'd like to see the more distant cousins move out and find their own place. I think it is putting extra stress on my dad having them there. Also took a little whirlwind trip to see chuck. Down and back in less than 24 hours. I hope you all still remember him in your prayers occasionally. He is still having such a time with his medicine. They switch it on him so much he can't even keep up with what he is on. And now they say he has high blood pressure and they are going to put him on medicine for that. Its really upset him cause its something he was not expecting. He is also suffering from almost constant headaches. I had quite and adventure getting back home as I was trying to get back in time to go to work and there was apparently and accident on I-77 so I hit another road and headed north and like to never got back to 77. Then when I got home I looked at the maps and it looks to me like rather than going all the roads this guy gave me directions to go I would have been just as well off to stay on the road I was on as I would have ended up in Wytheville and then I would have known where I was. I should have bought a map instead of asking directions go figure. So I'm wore out as it added two hours on my drive. I have a lot of things I need to do around here over the next month before the landlord shows up again so please keep me in your prayers that I can get things done around here so it will look good when the landlord shows up again. I just have had no desire to get stuff done. I was hoping after my vacation I would feel better and get back to the stuff I needed to do but I haven't got the energy up yet. I paid my nephew to mow the yard and he mowed half and never came back to finish. ugh. Well I better go now and try to get some sleep. There's the story of where i've been lately.

James, How did you check Talena's profile. I can't even find her listed in the member's list.

Lynn


Posted by: jedijeb

I just looked for an old post of hers and clicked on her name. That usually will bring up the profile page.


Posted by: StarChilde

At one time I had Talena on my yahoo messenger, & she told me that she was banned. She also told me why, but I am not at liberty to discuss that.I know at one time it said she was banned on the board, but have not looked at that or for that for some time. What happened is something to ask Jerry about, as she told me in confidence. I have not heard from her for sometime now, so I just keep her in prayers, & ask God to heal and bless her.


Posted by: JeriRose12

Well, guys, long time no see in this thread. I am at my sister's, using her computer. I have been on here a while and should take a break. Getting hungry, too.

Thanks to everyone who donated or prayed over in the other thread I started about where I am. I never expected THAT to happen, so I was wowed. Anyway, God is truly amazing!

I covet prayers for my sister and family, as she is really going through tough times with her husband. Pray she has peace and knows the right choices to make. She is weary, but hasn't really got a way to get away for a rest. I have been helping her all I could, but it's all sad to me, so I feel depressed and keep wonderig what to do. I can't share all details, but just pray for her as the Lord leads you to. Right now, we have to pretty much give my brother-in-law over (not up), so he becomes desparate enough to get help. Other than that, I haven't felt led to pray for him like I used to. I feel, right now, to just let him fall into the hands of a merciful God. I need to pray for HER in dealing with him, rather than for him to change. Because he's totally convinced he's right and seems to have no desire to change. He's basiclly beyond reasoning with.

Thanks for any and all prayers. I am really tired, so have not posted in very many threads, am mostly reading and catching up on people.

I will be praying for you and Jolene, Jeri. I sorta know how you feel as my brother in law as finally decided to go through with a divorce with my sister. She did hold her ground and make him make that decision. I think he still is drawn to her but the world just has him so confused and he is also scared of the responsibility of a family. Sort of like a midlife crisis I guess at 36. I also know the financial problems, I make decient money but have made bad choices over the years and have lots of credit card debt. I tried for a consolidation loan but got turned down, they said if I could pay off a few thousand on them they could do it, well that is why I wanted the loan so I could get a little ahead to do something like that. Oh well God has turned that around already this week and shown me other ways to start getting ahead. It is probably not a good thing actually but I can tell you that you are not alone in your struggles, but God will bring you through them as I believe you already know. Just as birth is hard on a child, our rise into what God would have us to be comes from passing through the test and teaching that we must have to become all we can be. Stand strong in the trials and you will be lifted up in Christ .


Posted by: lburgess24740

please pray for me tonight. I'm feeling very lonely the past few days. Seems the people I want to talk to have not been around. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things with reading my Bible and praying and I don't know if the loneliness is an attack or what.

Also I have a couple of unspoken requests. God knows what is going on with the situations I would just like someone to be praying along with me cause I know its better if more people are praying about it.

A Warriors Blessing : Lord God, Abba, I pray that You give to each Warrior You have placed on the walls of this world, a new and great revelation of the spiritual and natural realm. let them see clearly with Your Eyes the strategy of the enemy, as they go in full force with You, to attack them in their own camps. May they have health, wholeness, compassion, love, Peace, long-suffering, prosperity, strength, discernment, and wisdom. may they increase in all areas of their lives, and may the enemy of us all decrease, according to Your Word. Give them new and great power of the Holy Spirit to speak to the circumstances of lives around them, and send the enemy fleeing in terror of the Mighty name of Jesus. help them Lord to raise up their arms, take hold of their staffs, and strike the rocks of evil, in power, and might, as they stand firm on the Rock of Ages. Be their front and rear guard as they go into the enemy camps around the world for You Lord. Sharpen their swords, and shine the shields, that the enemy will be cut deep and blinded by the Light of Your Word thru their mouths.

For all of us Lord, I pray that You take the fire of Holy Spirit, and burn each of us deep, that all darkness may be brought to the Light of Your Word and truth, and the purity of thought and deed may be exposed. let us not fear the enemy, but You, oh Lord. let us all be open to Your Word, and Your scrutiny of our thoughts, deeds, and actions. be with us always.

Be true to Your Word Lord, and prepare us to be a Bride to You. Holy and Blameless, ready for Your Return. help us to stand firm, and not back down when the enemy comes in to flood our lives with trials and turbulence. Help us to consider it ALL JOY when we are attacked this way. As it is a sign to us, that we have him in fear and trembling of what we are doing for You Lord.

"Not by Might, nor by power, but by MY SPIRIT says the Lord Almighty!!!" We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. We are able thru the Power of the name of Jesus and His Blood, to shake the foundations of Hell, and bring forth great revival in His name. Lead us Lord this year, and on past this year, to be the Mighty Army of God, that You are calling forth in this time.

In Jesus name I pray!! Amen.


Posted by: lburgess24740

Is anyone around tonight that would come chat with me? I'd really like to talk with someone.

Lynn


Posted by: JeriRose12

Sorry, Lynn. I can't get on here much, as my home computer is down right now. They are getting me a new one here soon (some wonderful folks from this site!). It was oredered up already, so I am just waiting now.

I feel some better about things, and am just back to claiming favor in every situation going on. These trials are partly because I wanted to seek and find God. And they are partly because God is purifying me. It's the Holy Ghost AND fire! Anyway.....

Thanks for the prayer, Star. I listned to a rebroadcast of the Miles Munroe interview, and he said to speak to the siutation, not to God, because in God it's arlready done. The point was that we have the authority in the earth to speak into existance what God has already done. As when Jesus said His authority came from doing what He saw the Fahter doing.

I need to get going. Don't know when I can get back on here.

well that is interesting I never thought about speaking to the situation before. Seems like I have a pattern of a situation going on in my life. I know God told me not to worry about it a few months ago. Then it seems that things are going to work out with it but then things regress and go right back. Its a pattern going on. Anyway I'm not sure I know how to speak to the situation as I have claimed the promise God made to me many times. And I'm not sure which way God wants me to go in this and there are two ways I can go. I don't know if either is better than the other but I don't want to go one and it be hindering what God has planned. So please pray that God give me some guidance and tell me what I need to do.

Lynn, do you realize you are speaking to your situation already? 'Then it seems that things are going to work out with it but then things regress and go right back. Its a pattern going on.' God's word tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue... that could mean "life" to a situation, or "death".Even when I studied metaphysics, which is in the past now, there was great emphasis on how one thinks and how one speaks. Same with being a Christian, we are to renew our minds in Him. I will pray for God's will in the situation, as praying in the spirit will allow. I pray all works out for your best Lynn.
p.s. JeriRose, I want to get that book on intercessory prayer by Myles Munroe, as I have seen 2 msg. on it with Benny Hinn, and all I can do is sit and be in awe at the profoundness of what he is sharing!


Posted by: lburgess24740

I don't want to go into a lot of detail as this is really a personal thing but God spoke to me concerning this situation a few months back and told me not to worry. But was it my fear that the same thing that had happened before would happen again that may have caused it to happen. I know i have tried to claim God's promise to me concerning this many times yet when things happen as they did tonight it makes it hard for me to keep my faith that things are going to work out.

Lynn

Please pray for me guys. It seems things are just getting worse and worse for me. I have so much bothering me I feel like I'm just at the end of my rope. I don't know how much more I can take. Everything bad is happening at once. I am sitting here crying and I don't even really know what brought this on tonight exactly.

Thank you Lord, bless your name. We agree together for peaceful victory in the midst of the storm. Joy unspeakable and full of glory. Comforter, take away the frustrations, anger or fear. Give her the spirit of love, POWER and a sound mind when trials come and go. Let her be strengthened with her feet planted on the rock and that she'll never be moved because you are with her. Give also wisdom, discernment and understanding with strength upon strength with joy like you've given Paul in that jail cell. Work everything out for good quickly on her behalf whatever the problem may be. All things are possible with you. Lord we give you all the glory and praise in Jesus name, amen and amen.

Saturday night I had to take my friend teresa to the er. She has been sick forever with fibromyalgia and now they think she also has degenerative disc disease. Well it was about 3a.m. when we got out of there and I had a flat tire. I knew i was needing to get a tire soon. Anyway the belt was showing. I had to be at work at 10a.m. s I went in with about four hours of sleep. Then at the end of the day one of the csms fussed at me. Then monday my computer crashed. i spent all day reformatting and getting back on line. Today I went to get the tire and also needed some work done on the back brakes and was also informed that I need a v or serpintine belt for the car. The guy says he's not sure how long the belt will make it. My ex husband says it will make it quite a while more but it does need changed. I also was having trouble with my finances before all this and had to borrow money from my mom. I also have a couple other things on my mind that I just don't want to talk about right now. But please keep praying for me. I remember reading something that said "when you are down to nothing God is up to something" And I sure feel like I'm down to nothing right now so I'd like to know what God might be up to. I did not sleep at all last night just tossed and turned and finally just gave up sleeping and got up. I have barely slept at all in the last week. I also have to get another tire and get an oil change on the car. And my ex is taking kids out to get school clothes and wants me to cover half of it and he is going to keep them the first week of school and I told him I'd see to it that I brought some food up for them that week. Even though I normally only have them half the time anyway. But he is going to have them probably about ten days straight and usually he doesn't have them that many days in a row. Anyway I don't know how I'm going to cover all the expenses of back to school and getting the car worked on all at the same time. Please pray that I will be able to do this. I had agreed to stuff with my ex about the kids before I knew about what the car needed.

Dear God, I don't know every circumstance in Lynn‘s life, that has led her here, but You do. I ask Heavenly Father, that You bring about in her life, what is needed to bring her into a closer walk with You. Be Jehovah Jireh to her, her Provider, and Your Grace be sufficient and supply all her needs, according to Your riches & Glory. Let her walk by faith & not by sight, Let her faith turn to trust that God IS answering her prayer, & the prayers offered for her. I ask Dear God, that You give her peace in and through You alone, & do great & mighty works for her, where she KNOWS it is from You! Let my prayers for her, prayed in the Spirit be effective, & start changing her circumstances NOW! In the Holy & precious Name above ALL names I pray, the Name of Christ Jesus~ Amen & amen~


Posted by: jedijeb

Lord I ask that You would use these trials to bring Lynn closer to You and to make her into the vessel which You can use for Your service. Lord bless her with a higher knowledge of Your ways and a better understanding of her own heart and walk with You. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Hello All,
Just wanted to say hi. How are all of you doing? I am still praying for Keith and for my marriage to be restored as I know that it is God's will for that. He is so awesome! I hope that you are all doing well and growing in Him.

These challenges have been very difficult and even grievous at times, but they have strengthened your spirit whether you realize it or not. You are being purified by the fire of your circumstances. You have been like molten metal, and surely the impurities have put away like dross from silver. Now is a time to reflect on what you have endured and to be grateful for the value of correction that will last for eternity. Now is a time when you can enjoy a brief respite, but make sure you don't become complacent during this reprieve. Rest with your eyes wide open.

I am the Lord God, and indeed there is no other. I am bringing forth the anointing that will birth the sons of Zadok in this hour, for it must be so. You have read and understood the pattern that those who are called the sons of Zadok are those who have been faithful to Me and served Me with all of their hearts, minds and souls. They are those who desire to see My kingdom coming in glory. I am calling to you now. Lay aside your diappointments and your hopelessness. Come with expectation and faith, for surely you know that it is My anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage. That which the enemy has put upon you shall be broken if you will only believe, says the Lord, for I shall set you free and bring forth My Church without spot or wrinkle in the land as a witness to all of the earth. Surely I come quickly.

So good to hear from you Laura, was just wondering how you were doing. I am still praying and growing in Christ, been a long journey but is has been worth it. Glad to see you are staying strong and growing in Christ . Don't be a stranger check in again soon.

cgirl, thanks for sharing these with us. It is an inspiration to those who have been going through battles, and all of us have them, to one degree or another. I have found that giving it ALL to God, and letting Him take care of things is a great relief unto itself. We are still called to pray, to bring others into His kingdom,.. the many things that God has laid on our hearts... to have that blessed reassurance spoken in times of stress, or need is a comfort.

Hello all! I am taking a trip to the Seattle area to visit with my friend Ann. She lives in a town called Buckley. She needs to accept Jesus as her personal savior. I hope that everything goes well on this trip. I went out to see her three years ago. She has a lovely home with a view of Mt. Rainier from her back yard. I know this happens to be the area of Pastor Jerry, but I don't think I'll get to see him. Ann is a Unitarian. She goes to Unitarian church. It is not a Christian Church. I hope that at least, Ann would be willing to take me to a Christian church on Sunday. I have had this trip planned since April. I cashed in my airline miles in order to fly out to see her. Otherwise, there would be no way I could afford to go out and see her. I don't need to rent a car or pay for a hotel either. She and her husband will be picking me up at the airport. I will be flying out on August 26th, and coming back on August 30th. Please do pray that God provides for my dog's kennel and other expenses. I met Ann in a depression support group in 1998. She was the group leader in fact! We became great friends. She moved to Washington state in 1999. She's a lovely 61 year old woman. She loves dogs and cats. She has two dogs and three or four cats. She has acquired a dog and a cat since I last saw her. She lost a cat and a dog that both died since I last went out to see her, and that's part of why she got replacements. I look forward especially to meeting her new dog. She drove to a humane society in Oregon to pick it up. Ann and her husband will be taking me to Mt. Rainer! It will be a cool long drive! We will drive up the mountain and eat at a nice rustic restaurant. She will also take me on a lovely trail with her lovely new dog. I will be taking pictures. When I come back, I will post pictures. The sad thing is, that she is so close to nature and loves animals and God's creation, but not the Christian life. It is so sad that, while I believe she believes in a God, she does not believe or trust in Jesus. (For Salvation) She appears to live the lifestyle of a Christian. But her good works will not get her into heaven. Her church has a ministry of writing letters to people in prison. I think that's wonderful! Too bad its not a Christian church! She needs to know that there is no such thing as a good person and that she is guilty of sin. One of the reasons she values our friendship is because of my tender, kind, compassionate nature. I have that nature because Jesus lives in me. Without Jesus we are all but filthy rags. It is not I who live but Jesus who lives in me. I hope she will realize that all things that are lovely, and she is heavily into lovely things, are from God and Jesus alone! Please pray for a super successful trip everyone! God bless you all!

Your sister in Christ

I pray that you will be able to be an effective witness of our Christ Jesus to your friend. Do you know when the Bible talks about how our righteousness is as filthy rags to Him, that the rags that are being spoken of are those used in menstruation? And anyone who has read the Laws of the Old Testament knows how especially unclean that is, and even to be set apart from others during time of discharge and afterwards. It is so wonderful, that as Christians, that we have the righteousness of Christ Jesus to stand in for us, and not of our own~Glory to God in the highest!
Has anyone read The War on the Saints? it is something I am reading now, and also some materials by Jay Snell, anyone read anything by him?
Today kaeLyn goes to see the pediatric rheumatologist, her first visit since April, and only her 3rd visit overall. Please join me in praying that there will be no harmful side effects to any medications that she is on, and that she will be released and not have to take any because she is HEALED BY THE POWER AND BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST! At last blood level check, her ESR (elevated sediment rate) was down to 40, and it had been up to 63, but was also down to 20 before that, so we don't know why it went up after it was down so low.
She doesn't eat much, something they say is a side effect. She is only 34 3/4 inches tall, and has weighed 32.4 pounds for some time now, she is not gaining weight or height. She is tiny, and I just want to wrap her up and save her from everything that would try to harm her... Praise God that Jesus' Blood covers her.
Brendan turns 24 tomorrow! I didn't know if he would make it to this birthday. He is doing better, of course he has better days than others. But his stamina is better than it was, and he doesn't get quite as tired out from things. His sleeping patterns still get messed up from time to time, but he is doing better overall. I even have seen him moving/lifting the right arm that he had lost use of in January. I pray that this arm be totally restored to him!
Also we are going to be moving the majority of our belongings to the new house this weekend, as long as we can get the help we need to do it. Help me by joining in with prayer, that we will be able to get moved, and there will be no problems with getting help to move, or unexpected costs. We are moving about 15 miles or thereabouts from where we live now, another town...the population is about 25,000 or so, and the town we live in now is not even 2,000. There is just not anything here...well there is... but is a long story..anyhow God bless and keep all of you~ and thank you.

I am praying for you Lynn. I can relate to what you are going through, because just EVERYTHING busted loose in the world, flelsh and the devil coming against me in the last month or so. I have come to a place of rest in God now. But I cried in the last while, was depressed to where people at work commented I wasn't my usual "happy" (can't remember the exact word they used) self. Now, I am back to working hard and having a good attitude about it (even when doing other's work -- that they leave undone on their shift).

You know what I did? I just gave up! It got so rediculous, I just threw my hands up, looked up to God and said, "I give up!" Not in despair. In a way of saying, "There's nothing I can do. It's up to You." And it was.

This reminds me of something Joyce Meyer preached recently. She said when Moses was hid in the cleft of the rock, that represented Christ. So, here we are, with a promise (unfulfilled) and we are in Christ, in Christ, in Christ.... just waiting. The reason Moses did not see God's face but only saw his hind parts, was because "We don't see God coming; but we know when He's been there." (Just as I do in the matter of people collecting money so I could get a computer and now here I am, back on line, thanks to God being there!!!)

These are not glib words. These are words born out of trials of recent: God will truly work this all out for you.

I just could not have imagined all the things working out as they have for me. I came to such a place of rest in Christ, too. Life has been kind of busy the last few days, and I have missed spending that time alone with God. The one day, recetnly, that I did spend a long period of time alone with Him, I felt so calm and at peace. I knew THAT'S what had been missing. There is just no explaining how getting totally alone and resting in God's Presence will change your outlook and attitude. Unless you make a habit of doing it.

To all in this thread: Do not get buxy to avoid thinking about your problems. Quiet yourself before God. Cease ALL activity! Get UNbusy!!! Get totally, 100% still!!! Lay down in God's arms or sit on His lap.... but don't run around trying to RUN from your problem! Run to God! He alone can give you that indescribable peace in the midst of chaos! I know. I have been there recently!

Finding HIM in 2004

Hi all! I am at Ann's house! I have been here since Thursday. I am going home on Monday. It is so peaceful out here. I have been able to relax and escape from stress. I thank God everyday for this awesome retreat! We went to Mount Rainier National Park yesterday. It was awesome! Ann's dog Evy is so cool! She is adorable. She looks like Coal only she is half his size and is black and tan with a shorter snout. Unfortunately my digital camera won't work for some reason! I borrowed Ann's camera. I will have to get the rolls of film developed and put the pictures onto picture CD before I can send them. Meantime, please pray that I can get my camera fixed. It is a good camera. It has captured some good memories. I've only had it since October last year. Pray that I can get through to Ann. She still stubbornly refuses to hear the truth. I have shared the love of Jesus as best as I can without forcing it on her. She does enjoy the subject of religion. She is very humanistic. She cares about the welfare of others. Pray that the rest of this trip goes well. See you around! God Bless!

hello everyone i know i haven't been here in a while. I got busy with trying to get my yard work done but I have not forgotten you all. I have been praying for you all. Outside weedeating gives a person lots of time to think and pray. But now I'm suffering from poison ivy I spend three days on the yard cause I could not get my lawn mower to run and I was trying to weedeat the area we use to use as a garden cause it had grown up so bad. My ex husbands nephew steven was suppose to be mowing my yard this summer but he came down only once on July 7th and mowed around the house and weedeated it got dark on him and he said he'd be back within the next two days to finish and never did show up. I offered the teenage boy next door to mow it and I'd pay him. He never showed up. I was talking to a guy in my line at walmart as it turned out he lives on the same road past me and said his son would probably mow it for me. Well his son showed up to days later but i had to leave for work. I left for working expecting it to be done when I got home. So I come home from work and he had not done anything. I was so mad. Finally my ex husband's other nephew, joey, agreed to mow it for me. I went and picked him up so he had no choice but to show up. He got done in about three hours what I couldn't get done in three days.

I've been on evening shift quite a bit lately so just really checking email and not doing much else. I've had a couple guys online harrassing me and been trying to avoid them. Yes i did put them on ignore but they just create a new id and im me again. I actually wound up reporting one of them to yahoo for abuse after he threatened to boot me and started cussing me.

I'm still in quite a bind with my finances. If I could ever get things caught up I would be ok. But a few weeks ago i wrote something down wrong in my checkbook and caused me to be off by thirty dollars. So the check I wrote for gas went into my overdraft and I have not been able to get out of my overdraft. Then the kids had checked my mail. Usually they are good to give it to me but they missed the phone bill. I was straightening up in here and found a shut off notice on my phone. Which i was planning to pay on the phone bill on payday. Well the shut off notice was for a week before payday. So they turned my phone off two days before payday. So I wrote a check for that which usually takes two days to go through the bank but of course it went in in one day so it went into my overdraft. But I was only without a phone for about half a day. Then I got a shut off notice on my electric bill which was due four days before my next payday. So I went and got a payday loan to pay that to keep it from getting shut off.

I have figured up my bills and everything and I really do make enough money to pay everything its just where I got behind or make mistakes has gotten me messed up. Also my car breaking down is not helping matters. I've had to get a tire on the car a few weeks ago. And another tire that i just replaced in may is bad. I put a used tire on it but the tire really looked good but it has already gone bad. Also need an oil change badly as i've driven the car nearly 4000 miles without one. I also had to get the back brakes worked on. The mechanic that did my tire and brake work told me that i also am in need of a serpentine belt and that the spark plug wires are needing replaced. I don't know where all the money for this stuff is coming from.

oh hi laura (pickle) I had you on my mind the past few days was wondering how you were. Its nice to hear from you.

Thank you guys for all your prayers.

I still have to get the inside of the house done now. I borrowed a carpet shampooer from my friend teresa so I will have to get that took care of.

I'm also very stressed over my aunt. Every day she is calling me asking me to run an errand for her. I live fifteen miles away from her. I run at least 40 miles every time I go do something for her. Even on days when I have told her in advance that I am not coming out that I have to work on the house she will call me and it seems she actually is worse on those days. And she is having a lot of financial problems too so she can't help me with gas money either. But the gas money is not always the problem. The problem is more of I need to do things at home when I have a day off and by the time I go do something for her the day is gone and I've got nothing done. She is having such problems since my grandpa died cause she lived with him and now her only income is from babysitting. She applied for ssi but they denied her. She is 61 so she can not get it based on age yet. But her bills are 400 a month and her income is only three please pray that she can get some more kids to babysit or something to help her pay her bills.

Also my computer crashed about two weeks ago. I don't know if I had been here and told you guys that or not but I was so upset cause I lost all my pictures. I still have not gotten everything reinstalled on here. One of my friends sent me some pictures that we both had but the pictures of my online friends are all gone.

Gosh do I have any good news? OH yeah I actually do. Remember when I first started posting on this board I was so upset over my friend ken who had just up and said "I can't be your friend anymore". He had gotten the promotion to csm and it seemed the job had gone to his head or something. Well Ken and I are still not like sitting together at lunch or anything like that like we use to. But he is starting to act like his old self to a degree. He was joking with me the other day because I asked for fives for change three times in half and hour and he aske dme if i was eating them. LOL. And he listened to me complaining about the weedeating and no one showing up to mow. And the other day he was running around taking pictures of the cashiers to put on the bullentin board. Now at walmart we do not have to flash our light to get a csm we can put everything into the computer and they have a palm pilot that they get all our requests on. So they don't have to come over to the register to switch out the cashiers for one to go to break or lunch anymore. Well usually Ken is one that always uses the palm pilot and never walks to the registers for that. The other day he was actually going to every register and turning his key to switch the cashiers out. We were all shocked!

There are some other things that are stressing me that I don't want to talk about right now as well. I've probably already bored you all to death with this long post.

And yes Jeri I think you hit it about the promise from God we are waiting on.

Does anyone have any idea how to get burn marks off a wood porch? I caught my kids out there with a box of matches and my prayer candles. If you have a good quick remedy please let me know.

Oh also last week my little boy stepped in a yellow jacket nest it is right up against the house I spent the whole day in er with him. He is fine now but after it happened he swelled up really bad and turned red and blistered. The hospital wanted to start and iv but he was so swelled they couldnt' find a vein so they gave him a shot of benedryl and something else which seemed to help right away. Also some steriod and some other medicine.

Anyway I'll be thinking of you all and praying as I attempt to get my housework done over the next couple of days.

If you made it all the way through this thanks for listening to me ramble on and on.

Luv ya all,

Lynn

Howdee everybody. I haven't written in a while. So, I thought I'd drop by and say hi. Work is going good (thanks for the prayers) but I'm part time now. I wish it were full time, but I do expect more hours coming other than 4 hours a day. Like today I'm getting 3 hrs OT. So that's good. I will be traveling back to Utah sometime next month. I would like to take my girl with me. So, I guess that will be my next prayer request, agree with me! Prayer works, amen?

Later all GB,
Lara

Hello all. I just got back from my trip to see Ann. I had a lovely time. On Friday I went to Mount Rainier National Park with Ann and her husband. On Saturday I went with Ann to see Benji off the leash. We took her dog Evy to the creek later the same day. We then had an awesome barbeque. On Sunday Ann and her husband took me to Snoqualmie Falls. They were awesome! I took a trek with her husband down the steep incline down to the bottom of the falls while she waited. She has a bad ankle. Boy was it a workout walking back up the slope! We went to a cool diner afterwards at Twin Peaks! I hope you like the pictures I posted. Here is picture of me at the bottom of the falls below.



God bless you all!

Hi all. I don't make it over here that much anymore. Been busy lately, so don't get into many threads. My niece and I shoud be moving this week into the two bedroom! When the new land lord was calculating our rent, she said we have been paying too much. So we should get a credit! She said because my nieces hours were less, we were paying more than necessary. We agreed to pray the flat fee of $518 because it seemed to give us more of a break than paying 30% of our combined incomes. And, then, she didnt' have to report tips. The new land lord says she only has to write down 20% of my nieces tips, so they don't figure on the entire amount. My hours are less than when we turned in that original paperwork when my niece moved in, too. So, I might help us get a break. Maybe 30% will come to less than the flat fee for the 2 bedroom. Pray we get a break on rent and a credit of what we over paid.

Man, I've been SO busy. Family stuff, visiting friends, packingt to move, extra shifts at work (someone quit). Just a lot of little things taking my time. I am tired. But, I pray once we get moved things will settle down for a while. Now, that my computer (the one they collected money for on here) is up and running, I don't have to try to fit in walking down to the college. It's so nice to be on at home!!!

I still need a lisence and a car. I know that Lord has me in mind, though. I may sound like a broken record. But this is like the woman who kept bugging the unjust judge.... he finally gave in and did something for her. And God is not unjust! So, somehow, some way I WILL get that lisence. My permit needs renewed, and if I don't get my lisence of the second renewal, I will have to take the written test again. I am kind of procrastinating on checking out this driving school down around the corner. My work hours are so irregular, I can barely plan a life. Just pray God does this for me swiftly in His mysterious ways. I was driving some with my sister, and she thought I was picking it up really fast. We drove around the mall parking lot and in about three days, she was ready to let me drive on the road. But we decided to wait. So I know I can do it. It's just everything working out for me to be able to practice driving.

I might be able to get DSL soon. My niece got a call with an automated voice telling her we would get DSL soon and they were sorry it had taken so long. But how soon is soon? Pray its' SOON!

I am praying about a job oppurtunity that I can do from my home, and my niece knows some people who are making money doing it. It's legitemate. So, I pray that works out into something I really like and am good at. Will let you know more, once I move and get more details of what's required. I could set my own hours, and her friends were making more doing that than working at Dairy Queen.

Because of my business and other things, I have grown distant from God, distant from pressing into Him like I should. (Part of me is sad and part of me doesn't even care.) Pray he renews my desire and passion for Him. I dont' like these times when I get so apathetic about seekig Him.

I will be praying with all of you about all your needs, and I will keep you updated on the miracles God sends to me.

How about finding a job that has more stable hours? I hear that it is easy to get a job once you already have one.

Application

September 5, 2004

application – the act of applying.
apply – the act of putting to some practical or specific use
to concentrate on; employ oneself diligently

In a vision, I saw a computer keyboard. Someone hit a button which was called “the application button.” What does this mean, Lord?

I want to tell My children something today that I believe will thrill their hearts. I want them diligent in their performance for Me – furthering My kingdom in their midst. I want them applying themselves with all that is in them. Hear the word of the Lord God Almighty:

In this day, many of My children are growing weary in well doing. They are asking “When Lord? Just when are we going to see some of the things you have told us to expect? Just when are we going to walk in this newness of life? Just when are we going to see powerful and mighty demonstrations? When Lord? I am tired of waiting. I am growing weary of the battle. I want to know for certain that what I am hearing and reading is about to come forth. I want some encouragement today, Lord. Will you give it to me? Will you help me out here, Lord?”

Here is My response to your urgent plea:

I am the Lord God – the Almighty One. I look on each of My dear children with an adoring eye – with an eye to advance you into My kingdom in a dynamic way. Yes, I know that you are growing impatient. I hear your sighs. I see your exasperation. I know what is in your heart. I know that it is not your desire to give up on Me, yet you long for a clear sign from My hand. I know all this, but it will not make Me budge until I KNOW that the time is right. All of those things put together will not make Me play My hand before it is time, beloved. Know that! Let it sink into your heart. For if I moved according to the whims and the sighs of My dear children, My perfect will would not be done. The wonderful things that I have in store for you would not evolve. So be patient a little longer. Apply yourself to My living word. Advance into all that I have called you to, and you will know the great wonders that lie ahead deep within. You will know them in your heart, before you see them in the natural.

This is an encouraging word that I am speaking to you this day. I am telling you to apply yourself to this truth: I am coming SOON! I am doing miraculous things in hearts in THIS day that will be most beneficial to those who have chosen to walk seeking after My heart. Those whom I have called to portray My goodness will experience My essence deep within very soon. This is a promise. So look for something within, beloved, before you look for something without. This is My plan – to do something mighty within your hearts before I bring the foretold wonders to the forefront of your lives.

I have a plan – a masterful plan. I will not budge from it – not one tiny inch. I am a God Who has the wisdom to stay with His perfect plan, and stay with it I will! Know that I DO hear you. I hear your tales of woe, but I want you to be certain of this fact: It will not move Me from My desired plan – it will not budge Me. I am going on with the plan just as I have foreordained. But I am promising you this, beloved: Look for a sign within that will hold you secure until the promises start occurring in your midst. Yes! Get ready for a mighty change within that will put the seal of promise on all of My words, fortifying and strengthening you in ways you never dreamed.

In the meantime, apply yourself to My truth. Walk as if I am going to make My appearance at any moment, and know for a certainty that those who wait on Me with expectant hearts will not be disappointed – not ever – not even for a moment, for the best is yet to come. Yes! The best, beloved, is just around the corner!!!

Hi all~ miss everyone on here... between my internet provider doing upgrades & not having good net connection, and packing and moving, and trying to get help to move, and taking care of the kids, and unpacking, AND now Brendan is in the hospital, I probably won't be able to get on much.
I won't tell how worn out I feel... gonna confess I have boundless and unlimited energy... the verse keeping me going right now is I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS WHO STRENGTHENS ME. I have a bracelet on that says PERSEVERANCE.. I keep looking at it too.
A definition of:
Perseverance

PERSEVE'RANCE, n. [L. perseverantia. See Persevere.]

1. Persistence in any thing undertaken; continued pursuit or prosecution of any business or enterprise begun; applied alike to good or evil.

Perseverance keeps honor bright.
Patience and perseverance overcome the greatest difficulties.

2. In theology, continuance in a state of grace to a state of glory; sometimes called final perseverance.

Hi guys Finally my landlord has come and gone. Everything went well so that is one worry off my mind for a few months.

I still worry about my aunt as she is having lots of financial problems.

Day before yesterday I started getting a sore throat. Now I'm all congested and coughing and dizzy headed. I wanted to go out and do some shopping but I guess I am going to stay in and try to rest. I think the constantly being on the go may have caught up to me. Plus there were several nights I would go to bed and just toss and turn all night even though I tried to sleep. Last night I slept fairly well except for waking up coughing.

I am keeping you all in my prayers even when I'm not here very often I remember you all in between customers at work and when I do my housework.

Well I think I'm going to go lay back down now and hopefully I will be able to make it to work tomorrow.

where is everyone anyway? I wound up sick and missing three days work. I went to er sat and doc said it might be strep but because it would take another hour to do a culture and the med would be the same I decided there was no sense in him doing one and wasting another hour plus having a bigger bill.

I am feeling a bit depressed today about things. It seems doubts about something keeps creeping into my mind. Even though God told me otherwise almost a year ago. I keep trying to hold onto this promise yet the doubts creep in when i don't see things working that way. Things get better for a while then bad for a while. Jeri was talking about speaking to the situation and suzanne said that I was speaking to the situation just by what I was saying about it. I'm not sure that I even understand about speaking to the situation or what I need to be saying. And how do I get these doubts out of my mind when things look so bleak? Can anyone help me on this one. Maybe I wouldn't feel so down if I could just get the doubts out of my mind.

I dont know how much it helps, but this seems to fit a little with a dream I had this weekend. In the dream I was watching a potter making large clay jars. He put one in the oven to bake. He took out of the oven while still hot and set it on the table and it started cooling quickly and broke into pieces. What I can understand from this is not to rush things. With pottery you have to let it cool slowly, taking hours for the oven to cool down before you remove it. If you try to remove the jar from the oven before the appropriate time, it will break, but with patience and waiting for the proper time you can have something of great beauty.

Yeah I see what you are saying. I guess it might help a little bit. My patience is wearing thin. And I know that tribulation worketh patience so I never pray for patience. I just get upset when it seems that things are going backwards instead of forwards. Then at those times all the doubts start creeping into my mind. Is this really going to happen? Did God really say this? or was it my imagination? Is this worth all the trouble? And then of course I get the little nagging going on saying that's never going to happen. Forget it. There's more to that but you get the picture.

Last night I dreamed my coal stove was missing. That's what I heat my house with in the winter. In the dream it was like my landlord had taken it out of the house and done something with it and I was trying to go look for it but something kept stopping me from going outside to look in the buildings. I can't remember what. It got so bad that when I woke up I looked to make sure my coal stove was still there. Think that dream means anything.

Been diconnected a few days, because of move. Will be back on more in a day or two. Shoulder sore from falling when moving, so can't type much. And need to get ready for work. Liked the thread, AW. I know what you mean about fighting in the mind, done too much of that....

See you guys later.

I have deleted this message since some people seem to be reading more into it than what I was saying

I know I haven't been over here to post anything in quite some time, but you ALL have been on my mind lately so I thought i would drop in and see what was going on. No one has posted on this thread since the last time i was over here. Anyway I've been very busy lately. I actually met someone through yahoo personals. He and I believe we are soul mates and are hoping to get married next year. I want a big church wedding or we would get married sooner. He has two kids and I have the three but the interesting thing is or well one interesting thing is his daughter nikki and my daughter marilyn are the exact same age. They have the same birthDATE. And that is just one of the many things that we found that was so much alike.

Anyway I know you all probably got tired of hearing me whine about chuck and such but I wanted to let you guys know that he is doing really well now. He went through rehab and has gotten a job about fifteen hours a week to make extra money and has an entirely new outlook on life.

My friend Teresa however is still in much need of prayer for her health and for her finances. And her mother is getting very depressed to the point of just giving up and not really having a desire to live. So if anyone reads this please keep Teresa and her mother Mary in prayer. Mary is also having night terrors and fell out of the bed during one the other night and hit her head and managed to get a black eye and a big knot on her head and bruised up her face.

If you all remember a couple years ago I had fallen through my ceiling from the storage area. Well the same thing happened to my little boy last month in the other storage area. He wasn't suppose to be up there but I guess boys will be boys. So I have been trying to save enough money to hopefully find me another place. I don't like this house anyway. I mostly stay because it is cheap and I like the location out in the country. So please pray that I can find a nice house to live in that I can afford or even possibly be able to buy something. last time i asked the landlord to fix something or told him a problem with the place after he fixed it he raised the rent.

Overall i have been doing well the past few months just been extremely busy. I noticed a few days ago that a few years ago I really did have any friends and now I have so many I don't have enough time to spend with all of them. So I thank God for all the friends I've been able to make in the past couple years.

Well I just wanted to check in with you guys. Hopefully I will hear from you all.

Well, I hope it hasn't totally been abandoned. Just wanted to say hello to all of my old friends on this site! I see that Jeri is still here! I haven't had a computer in a while, but I still think about you all and hope you are doing well! I'm good. I'm at a wonderful new church and am doing well. I will have computer access for the next week, I'm at my old home. I intended to make the most of it! Hello hello!

We haven't posted in here in a long time, is all. A lot of changes on the board. Most of this core group is no longer posting....

It is good to here from you, Jan.

Are you in business for yourself or working for someone else? Or what is going on with you and in your life?

I am trying to get my driver's license for REAL right now! Been driving a lot and already took the drive test once and failed. . . .so need to practice a lot to correct those areas I was weak in. I have dreams of moving to California, something that God has laid on my heart from way back. I feel like getting my license is mega important to the future God has for me in California, where I am going to pursue my dreams of using the media to spread the Good News and minister to the church. My niece thinks I will meet my husband there. I am still single. . .and praying the wrong guy will quit wanting me.

I am turning 46 Sunday, and I am having a big party on Saturday to celebrate with family and friends. The theme is "Purple Passion" because purpleis my favorite color.

A lot of prayers have been answered, many miracles have happened....still at Taco Time, so the prayer for better income was answered somewhat, but I need better income than Taco Time. I want to get a car, and I will need more income for that. Praying for a purple or lavender car.

Get me caught up on what you are doing in this thread.
