• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Name it and claim it?

Depends upon your faith.
I have seen people of great faith but little knowledge who demaned something of God and received it, to their detriment, as well.

I believe that once we fully realize this promise from Jesus, it is our responsibility to have grown so close to Him that we would not ask for anything that isn't His will... and in that respect, while I really abhor that phrase, we are promised that "whatsoever" ... we "receive". :hug: Have you not found it to be true for you, too?

As long as we invoke the name of Jesus in what we "name and claim" we can have it?
How do you think you "invoke" the name of Jesus?


Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
