You are not alone Annie. We are all in this together. God IS with us and WILL give us comfort through Him and those He sends into our lives. My prayers will most certainly be with you in your time of trial and I just KNOW He will deliver you. Just keep holding tight to the one who holds you. JESUS! God bless you.
In His Grace,
Nancy

I don't wanto waste everyones time here and go into great detail about what I need prayer for, I just wanto ask someone if they will pray for my life, protection from demonic spirits who have used others to finally drive me from my home. Didn't matter who I reached out to for help, support, protection, I was left to face this alone. The police wouldnt even help me. I'm at my daughters in another state, I cannot go into the details but she too is continually verbally abusing me. I'm now waitign for a transfer to public housing. My daughter threatened to get her boyfriend to physically throw me out on the road tomorrow and told me to find a womans refuge to stay in. I've been diagnosed with complex physial illnesses, started from staph in my spine from neglegent dr. Heart attack 2007, 2 TIA's, arthritis in legs and spine. Cannot walk 5min without having to sit. She broke into my emails tonight and found a prayer request I submitted last night about situation here, too sensitive to speak of here. Please pray for all of us. I can't do this anymore, I'm in alot of pain, spend most days trying to avoid my daughter. I need a rest and peop;le who care the way God cares for us. I don't believe it was a loving God who did this all to me, if he did then I would turn away because I still don't know what it's like to be truly loved after 54yrs. Anyway I've come here alos hoping I can grow through all of my trials, I don't wanto be alone anymore.. I would love to make some nice sincere friends here that will encourage and help me learn and I hope I can return it/

The rescue of all 33 who are alive and well is a MIRACLE. The man who led them in prayer for all that time , twice a day is a shining example of a servant of God. I am sure there are many if not ALL of these men who are now believers in our Great Heavenly Father if they were not before. GOD BLESS THEM!!

"Cheerfulness is a choice". No matter what happens to us.We can choose how to react to it. Even the worst life experience can be meet with a possitive attitude "
How true and we need reminding of it

Part one of "Healing" was inspired by our Lord. Placed into my heart to be shared as testimony of what God can do and wants to use through us to reach out to a dark world.

This morning after my time with Him I felt He was urging an elaboration.

Some will see this elaboration as preaching but I am relying on God for His will and HIS WORDS to help me relay His Message to all of us including myself.

God does speak to us , but He always speaks to us about things that still need work in ourselves. Things that He is still working on in us. He wants us to grow and stand on His word with more understanding of His ways as we go along.

In the old testament, He gave us His Commandments. Those are the laws He wants us to live by (Exodus 20:2-17)

It's not always easy in a dark world to remain untouched by what society seems to be accepting that go against these commandments, but with His Holy Spirit to guide us and to teach us and to keep us strong in His Word, WE CAN!!

With the Holy Spirit indwelling in us , He will work on transforming our minds and hearts and hone the Fruit of the Spirit within us. (Galatians 5:22-23).


We are all works in progress, clay in His hands and He is working every minute of every day,changing and reshaping. Taking out of us what the "World and it's ways" has placed in us and filling us more and more with "HIS LIGHT AND HIS WAYS."


After the testimonial in Part One yesterday,God revealed to me something He wanted me to realize and share.

Something that, I myself, needed to learn, a point that I was missing until my time with Him this morning.

I would write a list of all the sins and problems in this world today but it would make for a very long novel.

I started thinking about the Ten Commandments and the Fruit of the Spirit and it dawned on me that EVERYTHING we struggle with and the ways we react or act on them shows where and how we still need changing. I realized that every behaviour, addictions, abusiveness, etc,etc,.... really boils down to a "SPIRITUAL" problem.

When we lay our cares with the Lord and stop worrying we are "TRUSTING" Him. If not, well, then we still need to trust Him more. It's somewhere we still need more Spiritual growth.

If we react in a negative way to something, it is not so much an emotional problem as it is a "Spiritual" problem that points to something inside of us that still needs some work.

Even Righteous anger has limits and that is where the one Fruit of the Spirit "Self Control" comes into play.(one of my own personal struggles, Lord tame my tongue to speak Your Word,in Love!)


Think of any behaviour problem and anything that is viewed as an emotional problem in your own life or even in anyones life and ask yourself "Is it REALLY an EMOTIONAL problem?"

Deep down inside , it boils down to the Spirit and a Spiritual problem and that is why we SOOOOOOOOOO VERY MUCH NEED JESUS!!


THANKYOU HEAVENLY FATHER, FOR LOVING ME, CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, O GOD; AND RENEW A RIGHT SPIRIT WITHIN ME.

IN JESUS PRECIOUS NAME,

AMEN!!

HEALING
I awoke this morning at 2:30 AM and could not get back to sleep. Seems like forever long ago at times like that I would just get up, turn my computer on and just write or chat on line with the Christian Internet family that God had blessed me with,Praise Jesus and pray together until sleep came.

So much has happened in such a few short months that it seems like eons ago.
A subject was brought up a few days ago and being on limited time to reply, my answer was short and incomplete. I pray it did not get misconstrued and that I did not come off sounding insensitive but if I did, I apologize to the parties concerned.

As a result of this particular subject coming up, the Lord has been putting on my heart what I am about to write.
I am DEEPLY THANKFUL to God for all that He has carried me through in the past five years and the subject of this note is "HEALING."

I am overjoyed that God drew me close enough almost three years ago to finally hear and respond to Him and open the door of my heart so that Jesus could walk through the threshold.
Through the preceeding years, I was a "Hoarder" and did not even realize it. I was not a "hoarder" of "THINGS" but a hoarder of every hurt, every disappointment and every broken dream and the bad fruit those things produce. There was no amount of "Worldly Psychology" that ever could have sorted out the mess my mind, body, soul and spirit were in. Only Jesus could know where to even begin.
God has placed many loving and kind people in my life along this healing path and I thank God every day for their lives. So many have taken the time to care about this ordinary, small town waitress and helped to restore my faith in the goodness that God created us for.
Not for a moment did God let me give up and neither did all those He placed in my path.Although at times the journey seemed impossibly tough with many rough waters,God showed me that nothing is impossible and He would never let go of His childs hand. If anyone were to let go of a hand it would be us letting go of HIs but He would always take it lovingly into His again. Never giving up on us, always merciful and always there to carry us back into calm waters again, prayerfully with a little more of His wisdom than we had before the storm and better equipped for the next one.
You see, God never promised us life would be easy. Even having a New Life in Christ, we will have storms and trials but He will help us through them all without holding,onto bitterness, hurt and pain. "Hoarding" those things becomes a thing of the past with Him who strengthens us.

We can only pray and do our best through Jesus Christ, that we can give back to a hurting world,what He has healed and restored in us, in any way, shape or form that we can.

To a very special friend who brought up this subject a few days ago, that inspired this letter: Keep praying and keep being the light and kindness of Christ to all around you who are "HOARDERS."
It is not the material things we hoard that are a problem so much as the emotional "STUFF" we are hoarding that is behind it all.
Only Jesus can heal when the mess gets too big for us but we can all help someone along that path even in the smallest kindness shown along the way.
NOBODY IS HOPELESS BUT WE ALL NEED JESUS!!

THANKYOU JESUS,WE LOVE YOU!!

To every one of my many blessings,
With MUCHLY LOVE and appreciation.
Nanc
