Jesus never told us to predict a day or hour when He would return, but He did tell us to be aware of the times in which we live and to always be ready for His coming.

What are we to do and how are we to live in the light of all that is taking place around us? Look up! God has a plan and He is working out His plan. The coming of the Lord is drawing near.

Here are four things God wants us to be doing as we await the sound of the trump of God and our gathering together unto Him:
- Guard your heart (Matthew 24: 12)
- Come together with other believers (Hebrews 10:25)
- Make Christ known (Matthew 24:14)
- Be full of hope (Titus 2:13)

There's no love more precious,
more costly, more kingly.
There's no love that's greater-
that's more wonderful, more wild,
more passionate, more powerful-
than the love of Jesus.

Believe, receive, and rejoice forever in the greatest love the world has ever known!

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38, 39 NASB

Heavenly Father, my life is in Your hands.
Yesterday, today, and forever, I am safe and secure in You.
Lord, please help me to know that You are in control.
Help me to believe You are at work in my life right now,
even when I don't see it.
Help me to trust in what I do not see,
when what I see is so painful.
Please help me to know You are taking care of my needs.

Lord, thank You for listening to my cries for help.
Thank You for loving me so much.
Help me to believe You and the promises You have made.
Forgive me when I doubt You and Your love.
I believe, Lord. Forgive me for my unbelief.

The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8

 Hey is ChristsWorrior, I'm not here to take your spot, I only want to help you and others reinforce what you and the other one and LT is saying to Grazer and in hopes to help others in this! I have a very interesting walk with God in my life, its like Moses, Joseph of Jacob, Mordecai and Esther. I'm here too fight Satan were he stands like a Knight of the Cross! I know I was once like Grazer when I was a teen and my early steps as a saved Christian. God has been a great teacher to me! I also use to think like Steven Hawkins and Richard Dawkins. But have taken my passion and desires to God! And know and see the logic in Creationism and how false Evolution is. So I'm using my mind along with my heart, spirit and body against Satan, though God. For there are more Evils I'm aware of then Evolution Science. I'm a researcher and like science, as long as its truth! And not lies of man and the Academia way of things. I have discovered many interesting things and I love the Table of Nations in Genesis! Genesis is my base. As I study and God forms this map in my head form the times of Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Jeppath. I'm figuring out about how the Modern world became, and this shows me just how closely we are related as Americans to the rest of the world and in this, it takes away any form any indifference thoughts of any other race form me! For we all form Asia, to the Mid East to Russia to the Nile of Egypt to Europe to Crown nations to the Americas and all over, we are one people created by God, separated by culture, environment, and language, sense the times of Ancient Babylon! Hey brother and sister, I'm here by the will of God to help, not here to make others feel I know more, God has his will for all of us man! I look forward to being friends and working with you on this.

GBU,

hey Brother in Christ, nice to see you again, this is defently a good day! 

OPTIMISTIC BELIEVER

Not all optimists are believers. And not all believers are optimists. But the optimistic believer is a dynamite duo.

Think about a perpetual optimist you know. (Perhaps it’s you!) When confronted with a challenge, a bold smile and a cheery word are their natural response. They do not possess the ability to mumble and they do not know the meaning of despair. Their shoulders are buoyant without burden and their voices are as sing-song bright as a bird’s delight.

Do you know a person of rock-solid faith? These people are firm. Steady. Immovable. Their goal is not to prove themselves to the world, but rather to take the world as it comes, living for an “audience of One.” Their faith is not for show, but when it does emerge, it humbly calls for company. Doubters and skeptics are helplessly attracted to the pure peace they radiate.

When is an optimist not a believer? When she looks at the bright side of life but refuses to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. She is a poster child for secular self-help books and articles about changing your life through “the power of positive thinking.”

When is a believer not an optimist? When he has entrusted himself to Jesus Christ but continues to respond to life’s challenges with fear, anxiety, and doubt. He has not let his faith out of its small, Sunday-sized box or let it permeate every nook and cranny of daily, real life.

The optimistic believer, however, is a joyful combination of a deeply rooted faith that shows itself in a spirited, lighthearted approach to even the most trying circumstances. It’s not fake. It’s not shallow. It is a tangible faith that is completely confident in what is hoped for and assured of what is not seen (Hebrews 11:1). This is the person who says with confidence, “‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?’” (Hebrews 13:6).

I encourage you: be an optimistic believer. Let Christ have the victory in your life. And “do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded” (Hebrews 10:35).

Hi brother. You didn't offend me whatsoever. We all get a little heated. I had to go delete many of my posts on the "tongue" issue & remind myself that the more important issue has slipped my focus. I enjoyed the back & forth when it was at a learning level. I just feel we need to be the example for the world because there are sooooooo many countries that involve themselves on this site. Luv u

SELF DECLARATION

Good afternoon,,,GLORRRRRY to GOD,, i LOVE to say that,,,it stirs up my heart and Spirit for GOD ALMIGHTY!!!! Thank YOU JESUS and>>>

Thanks soooo MUCH Bro R for the beautiful prayers...My step dad will no doubt die of old age before his cancer could cause his death... Sounds wierd but a relief...PRAISING GOD for this... The 4 yr old boy we have NOT heard anymore about... Thank YOU LORD for this prayer Brother , his Family and our  prayer Family here... May YOUR Supernatural COVERING be on each of them...in JESUS Name...amen

Prayers always for BLESSED in the HOLY SPIRIT sites like this...de

"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men".  Colossians 3:23

I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten.
Joel 2:25 KJV
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Psalm 51:12 NKJV
"For I will restore health to you
And heal you of your wounds," says the LORD.
Jeremiah 30:17 NKJV

Restore means that God brings back and gives to us again what was once taken from us or lost to us. God assures us that what was lost can be found, what has ended can begin again, and what is no longer seen can be brought back into view. He can restore a broken relationship, lost health, a lost blessing, a broken heart, a former ministry, or a former joy.

Thanks Roy for the friend request. The love of God fills AAG all the time.

God bless you. 

HAPY PAPAS DAY

Thanks heaps for your friendship, Roy. Any friend of Jesus is a friend of mine, too. :)

Abundant blessings to you and your family...I see from the photos that you're a happy family. God blesses those who love and worship Him! Hallelujah!

Roy,

I noticed we are shut down. If we want to continue I guess we could start a forum.

I read your response and want to clarify.

This is a difficult subject to grasp. Dr. Juncker's many article's deal with all of the issues I've stated.

(Matt 7 : 15-23) Does begin with the warning to watch out for false prophets/teachers and we would know them by their fruits (Deliverance Doctrine/Teaching/ Practices) I would submit.

We cannot know or judge who is going to make it to heaven but may have a good feeling that those we love will make it.

Because of the severity and huge implications involved with this issue, it must/should be examined fully before involvement.

I did not specifically state it was Blasphemy but rather said we are on the dangerous edge of it being a reality and could it be? You must read Dr. Juncker's position on it to fully understand where and how he arrives at this. I agree with him fully.

To me as well as those who have examined it we have taken a strong position against it because of all the fingerprints it has with the definitions of false teachers we are thoroughly warned of. You have seen my attempt at directing one to that word alone. It makes all the difference.

When we get to a point of rebuking, or binding Satan and sending him to the pit, it is my opinion we have been fooled by the false teacher into even blaspheming against things we do not understand. The sovereignty of God has demonstrated that God is in complete control of Satan when it involves His Children who He will protect or even allow Satan to have access but only by permission.

Again, a full study on what a false teacher says and does are two different things, it is by their actions that they actually deny Him. Teaching that a born-again believer  with Christ now indwelling us is in danger of being  just that. Again, we have to solve the reason why Christ would call those evildoers who where in the group of (prophecy, casting out demons, or miraculous signs and wonders)

You will have to read why these conclusions are drawn. If you look through his first and twelfth articles he shows why. Many other articles as well there.

I have appreciated your interest Roy, I don't want anyone to say I never warned them if they choose to become involved in Deliverance Ministry. It has all been built on the twisting and reapplication towards a Believer.

In Christ,

Mitch

Roy,

I left out the word Sovereignty in a paragraph that makes all the difference with God allowing Satan access to His children.

Dear Roy, I sent you a message

I love word problems.

Praying You Are Blessed in a way that brings God's presence closer than you have ever know it... Blessed in a way that assures you of the plans He has for your life... Blessed in a way that fills your heart with a thousand "thank-yous" for all that His hand will bring your way. May the Lord continually Bless You with heaven's blessings as well as with human joys. Psalm 128:5 TLB

Hey thanks anyway. But I didnt mean for you to go searching for it. I just thought you might remember the title of the link. I will look later on. I have heard him mention her a lot of times. I am so grateful for your prayers for them. I posted your first responce in the prayer group to Carla. I hope you didnt mind. I did so in private. Thanks again,

Carla is going to send your prayer to Rons son for him to take to him.

Howdy Roy

I dont think i hav ever confessed Jesus as my Lord on any site. Normally when i get a little jealous or angry I will say "Your God" I do however post christian song videos or christian preachers that I like. I do this maimly on fb in hopes my family will see godly message. I know I am ignaramt but i just cannot for the life of me say out loud that i am a born again christian. Sometimes when i try I believe i am crazy and lieing to myself.  I have a video on my page here that i posted the other day because i want to listen again and again. Maybe someday i will believe. Thank you for asking. Or i think you were asking me. Im just mow thinking you may not have been...... just incase im posting this.

Looking forward to seeing you Brother.  That is not my farm, it is a neighbors.  We live a a mile or so away.  I straightened my hair, and IT is me.  Let me know when and I will share with you all the information.  Bless you Roy and your family.

Roy I just ledt a comment for you in Tammys forum post. I couldn't resist.... it is all in fun. But really now I will leav the forum post alone.

Dear Roy,

I'm glad you're a fan of my clip art. Please feel free to use any of them.

Hugs!

Dear Roy,

I posted this to the prayer room yesterday, but I'm not certain if you were able to read it there. So I'm resending to your private page:

Regarding Ray, I'm so sorry to hear this! Please tell him NOT TO GIVE UP! My brother, who was told he had stage 4 colon cancer and cannot be operated on, is improving. How? He was given Chemo pills called XELODA [available by prescription only]; plus for 1 month, he took 1 tablespoon on MANUKA honey along with 1 teaspoon of organic cinnamon, on bread; plus my sister made him lots of fresh fruit and vegetable juices [she uses a machine called Ninja... I'm not certain whether it's a juice extractor or blender, which he drinks daily.  He has had to change his diet also. His doctor is stunned! He is showing much improvement.  He can walk without shortness of breath...he talks without constantly coughing...he has even gained some weight. For sure, he is really feeling BETTER!  I have a weekly family Bible Study which includes him, and we have been asking Father to help him. He has! Please do not let Ray give up.

We serve an awesome God, Roy. We must trust Him in all circumstances; for He only has the last word.

"Father God, in the precious name of Jesus, I place and release Ray to You. Just as You are helping Leyland, my brother, please also help Ray. Doctors cannot decide when life is over, only you can. Our trust, therefore is in You. Thank You, Father for answered prayers. Amen."

If Ray needs more info regarding the XELODA let me know and I will ask my brother. These pills are expensive, but he might be able to get on a plan that will help him. Again, I will ask my brother. I'm so anxious to help Ray get through this.

If possible, please ask Ray's family to be more POSITIVE regarding Ray's situation. They need to approach God's Throne of Grace with prayers of praise and thanksgiving.

Below are links regarding XELODA

Roy,  Your profile pic is sooo sweet! :-)

I acknowledge that I failed to maintain order in the forum, and that is my responsibility here on AAG. For that I am sorry. If I have wronged you I ask you forgive me. If there is a specific way you feel I wronged you please email through AAG so that I may address it privately.

Lord Bless,
LT

Roy,

I think you will enjoy this video:

Haha How many kids? hahaha 

Dessy just called me and told me she is experiencing contractions. She is schedule to be induce on Friday at 7:30. All is well with baby Priscilla Sky Velasquez, but she might come tonight. That would be good. 3 Kids with this new one and loving it. God as He has done for you, has been good to us.

I am so happy to hear how much he has done for you and my sister Laura. Tell her we send our love to her. I often remember you guys and miss you. It is good to hear you are working in the calling God prepared for you before the foundation of the world.
