  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Thanks guys, I think I am checking into a backpackers for a week. Had a few nights of sleeping in the netcafe/park but God has comforted me this entire time. I know God will come through with this flat/room for rent for me. :) Praise Jesus for He alone is good!

Lord, have mercy,
Christ, have mercy,
Lord, have mercy.

Heavenly Father, thank you for joining us in prayer and for all of your blessings. Thank you for blessing our brother with hope and comfort during his wait for your perfect will. In Jesus name I pray that each one of his needs are met according to your will and that he has peace that passes understanding, just knowing this is in your hands. Thank you for this and for all you do, all Glory is yours, AMEN

Thanks for the prayers, I know that God is using this situation to test my loyalty as well so please pray that I stay strong and focused on Him. :)

Slept at the top of a fire escape...just got rejected at the backpackers and have to go to work now, but I think I start later in the day tomorrow. That should give me time to go to a J.P and get my I.D sorted out.

Please also pray for my I.D situation as that will be critical to moving into the backpackers tomorrow!

Thankyou everybody, God bless you in your own struggles.

Semi-warm, i'm in Auckland in New Zealand. It was a bit cold last night but I had my jumper to cover me up and some other clothes to make a "bed" out of.

The backpackers wouldn't let me in without I.D. I don't have a passport either. I think I know where I have my birth certificate...

I've got to work most days between 12-10 which is part of the problem as it's not really giving me any time to go out and sort stuff..also I'm not getting a proper sleep.

If I can somehow get some form of I.D maybe the backpackers will take me in tomorrow. Another problem though is that I don't have a car, i'm on limited time before work tomorrow and I have to bus out to get my I.D and try to get back to work on time, etc. Which is hard when you can't get any sleep, as i'm like a zombie in the morning, literally too tired to do anything but stare into space and listen to Life FM on my phone.

Anyway , it's looking like another night in the town. I really hope I can sort this out soon, God is with me. Maybe someone will take me in for a night soon.

Friends, can you please add to your prayers a prayer for protection? People keep coming into the netcafe where I am and it's almost like they've got nothing better to do than come see if they can get something from me. They just sit next to me for a while, get bored and then leave. The whole time I feel really uncomfortable as I am just trying to listen to my worship music and feel something wrong with their presence.

I don't really trust them. I hate to say this but I don't think the reason they're coming here is for me to minister to them or talk to them about Jesus. I think they're coming to see what they can get from me. They are false friends and potential plotters. They might even be motivated by demonic entities judging by their lifestyles.

I used to talk to these people a while back at another netcafe I used to play at (I wasn't so careful with who I made friends with back then) and I must be on their list of potential sources for cash, etc. I was recently brutally assaulted and robbed and I get worried about it happening again. Can you please pray that if they are not here for me to talk to Jesus about them, that they would leave me in peace and go elsewhere? And that the spirits behind them would leave, knowing that I am not interested in entertaining them and have my eyes focused on Jesus. Thankyou. Also I pray these things in Jesus' name and ask him to give me strength not to fear. Amen.

Please URGENTLY pray for my protection. The guys came back, it is especially one of them I am worried about. He sat next to me, drank the rest of my pepsi without asking, asked for my phone number (which I didn't want to give, but did) and said some incomprehensible stuff and asked me if I know anyone who wants to buy drugs right after I said I was a Christian in response to a question about what I was watching. He doesn't let me listen to my music and pokes me to get my attention before saying something really weird and out of context, like "who is that, who is that with wings". It sounds a lot like a devil speaking.

I think he is on drugs. This guy killed someone when he was young and went to jail for a LONG time. I think he is very unstable. He listened (again he didn't really ask, he just flaty requested the headphones) to "JoyFul Noise" by Flame and Lecrae and then when he was done he said "Too holy for me I don't believe in that s---" and then he kept sitting there, being weird. I don't speak to him at all if I can help it. It's awkward even saying hello because I know we're not friends

I think all he knows is to sit and wait for opportunities to take advantage. He just pointed to my cover on Facebook (of Micheal standing over Satan) and said "that's you aye? Angel Byron", but I don't think he meant it in a good way. I really need your prayers right now. It's really intense for me because I was attacked in an aggravated robbery a few weeks ago and the attackers said they were going to kill me. I prayed the whole way through it and escaped. I know the Lord delivered me, but while this stuff is happening I hate feeling like God's not protecting me when I know in my heart that He is. I really just want God to drive them out of this place and stay away from me. Forgive me if I am saying the wrong thing but I really don't think he's interested in Jesus! Probably just wants to harass me, see what he can take and provoke me so he can try to make me fight. I feel like he is very satan directed. I am worried for my safety whenever he sits just out of my eye view. I feel so relieved whenever he is gone.

He has left for the time being.

I'm confused about what God wants me to do. Do I turn the other cheek or tolerate his presence? I don't want him drinking my stuff again but I felt that was a small price to pay to avoid an altercation with an unstable person. Am I meant to tell him off or just ignore him? I don't know what words I could use without provoking an instantly physical confrontation with someone like him. He would probably have no respect for someone's feelings about any subject.

One thing I know is that for all the provocation he served up, no harm came to me. God is protecting me, I know. I could sense a very strong presence of evil and that feeling is gone now that he's left. Plus, he listened to a gospel based song. I pray that God is just using this to reach him and/or test me and that I can pass and that He can take away the fear from situations like this.

lifting you up to our Abba, our Father, for protection. Father surround your beloved one with Your warrior angels. Remove all that is not of you from anywhere near him. Grant him a glimpse of how You have him surrounded by Your angels. Grant him Your calm and Your peace. Oust all that would do him harm from his presence. Send the enemy to scattering. Keep Your protective, steadying hand upon him. Grant refuge and safe harbor for him speedily, may it find him. Minister to him as only You can do and send the enemy to fleeing, in the name of Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of You, the living God, the God of the living, amen.

You are far more than a faceless nickname, Bj. As well as being our brother, you are hard working, conscientious, considerate, and you know how to keep the faith, no matter how hard your life is.

You are an example to us all, in other words. God be with you.

^^ This :hug::hug::hug:

Praying for you, I know that God will come through for you. Keep the faith.

Pretty rough, if not being out there wasnt hard enough, right? :( Keep praying about this situation and remember that no matter what God is right along side of you.

And keep praying for this man as well. When you scratch the surface of it all, its the enemy behind all this not the man. This guy is just a pawn in the Kingdom of Darkness. Will continue to pray for you!:groupray:
