Mary, I am praying for you and your family.
Gayle, that was a lovely sermon. Fear is something I have battled through my life. The Lord has had to deal with me many times. Even this morning, He gave me a prophetic word for our congregation, and the first thing I said to Him was, not me, Lord, please use someone else. But then I thought about it and went forward to give that word anyway. And people were blessed, because I was obedient, because it was not my word anyway which God had put on my heart.
So I got my pastor's nod and took the microphone. I began telling our people that Jesus came to set the captives free. That it is not His will for us to be in bondage to anything. That He came to set us free. I urged them to open their hearts to Him, and let Him set them free. I told them to cry out to God, that He would set them free.
Then I went to the back, which is where I had been, and interceded some more, and knew--absolutely knew--in my heart that people were crying out to God and He was setting them free. Our God is so good!
Our pastor picked up the word and exhorted us as well. Yes, Jesus came to set the captives free!
I believe with all my heart that there is only one Holy Spirit, and He ministers to His people. Jesus came to set us free!
I am being set free as well. Free from the fear that has kept me from obeying God because I was worried about what people thought.
I am tired of this snare I have lived in:
[bible]Proverbs 29:25[/bible]
It is time for me to put my trust in the Lord, and know that HE will keep me safe. I have goosebumps!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yahoo! Yay Lord!!

I know this is for me...thank you...I really need to go now and spend some time with the Lord.
Be Blessed everyone.

Somebody prayed, I know Spring was one of them, and my friend Jan another. Maybe there were others. I can't tell you how far down I got. But they reached out to me and let me know that they loved me. I am so grateful to them.
I want to give back to you what was given to me so generously, to lift you in prayer and ask the Lord to give you wisdom, grace, peace and many blessings.
Remember you are loved, God loves you, and so do many others here.

Thank you! I appreciate it.... Originally Posted by Seeking1 Hey, should you be shoveling? Don't you have a bad back? Take it easy. One time, and this is embarrassing, I went for a walk with Bethani several years ago in the winter. I slipped on black ice and landed flat on my back. My back hasn't been the same since. It really bothered me for a few years and now only bothers me when it's really cold out. Anyway, she told me I looked like a gingerbread man laying there and she was laughing so hard, she could hardly help me up.
My daughter (same one as above) cleans the house when she's mad about something. Needless to say, her house is usually spotless...
Yuck. I had a nap and felt really yucky when I got up. I hate that. I took an allergy med this morning and I think that was the problem. I can't take certain stuff with other stuff. I am so smart after the fact... 
NO, I shouldn't have...but...had to be done..I have arthritis, degenerative disk disorder and a bone spur...but hey..other than that....

I have....and it is being worked on...HOPEFULLY. Originally Posted by Templedweller havent been around awhile Hello
