The purpose of this thread is two-fold:

Sharing current events on your heart via article, podcast or video. It needn't be recent. The most important factor is your response to the situation and desire to bring it to light.

While discussion is possible elsewhere I would like to see a Christ driven reply from readers and participants. It is not a forum for debate or finger wagging. The greater purpose is holy engagement. Heaven moves on prayer and that's the primary reason for its creation.

When posting please include a link, brief description (copy and paste is fine), personal comments if applicable and prayer request. It needn't be in depth. Please pray for (circumstance) and the desired outcome if apropos.

Scriptural Support

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) is able to accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].

First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people, for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

Note: If desired, a complimentary thread may be established in other forums to promote the same. God Bless.

Sean "Diddy" Combs Lawsuits
Most Recent and Allegation Time Line

Sean “Diddy” Combs was sued Monday in federal court by a producer on his most recent album, who accuses the music mogul of sexually harassing, drugging and threatening him over more than a year. The producer, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, says in the lawsuit that he lived and traveled with Combs from September 2022 to November 2023, during which time he recorded hours of video and audio of Combs, his staff and others “engaging in serious illegal activity.”

I've been following the situation since Cassie's bombshell lawsuit was publicly revealed. She accused him of unspeakable atrocities which he denies. The civil case was settled and an avalanche followed. Many have long suspected that entertainment was rife with unimaginable behaviors. The allegations shine a light on the underbelly of the music industry and its closely related cousin Hollywood.

If you feel a burden for either or desire further details beyond what's shared reference Tisa Tells or Murad Merali on YouTube. For additional information on the industry from a Christian perspective reference the Vigilant Citizen website.

Prayer Request:

Please pray for healing and restitution for the victims and a God encounter for all. Salvation, repentance, deliverance and restoration.

The Princess of Wales
Vogue Article

The Internet is beset with speculation regarding the Princess of Wales and her continued absence from the public eye. A statement was released regarding a procedure she received a short time ago and we were told she would be absent from public duties. The omission of updates and images have fostered memes and related theories concerning her health. Where's Kate and what's really going on are the questions most frequently posed.

And to tell you the truth we don't know. Many have weighed in and the time line has grown beyond the initial period suggested. Although we don't have a monarchy in America. Nevertheless, they're an integral part of British culture. Whether we agree with the principal or not. She's a wife and mother with three small children. We can understand the impact her condition would have on them.

Prayer Request:

Please pray for healing and a full recovery for the Princess of Wales. May the Lord use this time to draw her near and reveal Himself to her and her loved ones.
