What a mess.

Child of JC asked people to share how God was moving in our lives, and almost nobody responded. So, I figured I'd get the ball rolling by posting some testimonies of how God has moved in my life, with the hope that others would also share what God was doing for them.

Instead, criticism has dominated from a fool who seeks to condemn the entire church for just about anything you can imagine, and to top it all off, I get some inane response about "patting [myself] on the back" and a ripped out of context scripture about how I'm in danger of the fire of hell because I pointed out this foolishness.

I'm pretty sure all Child of JC was trying to do was to get people to testify about what God has done for them, but apparently that's too much to ask.

It's a sad day when brothers and sisters in Christ can't even share what God has done for them without being ripped to shreds.

He is doing fine, His children are not, and soon neither will you nor anyone in this thread.

Sun, I have a request, and you say you are able to pray for healing...

SpiritPsalmist's mother is dying of cancer. See this thread (click here).

Will you pray that her mother be healed of this cancer, so that she may yet have time to get saved?

I prayed for her, but sadly in cases like this, at this stage in life, it's a sowing and reaping thing.

That's one of the reasons why I am so mad, I'm trying to change things so people will less likely have to go through something like this.

I hope for the sake of everyone in this forum and the people they know, she receives a miracle.

It's O.K. Remember Jesus was opposed while He was on earth. I guess we should not be surprised that His work is still being rejected.
Let's keep going. Let's keep shinning. The enemy obviously has taken notice of what's going on here. Let's not give up. We've obviously stirred something up here. It can't be good for Our Lord's enemy to be sharing about His Power, right? Some people just might get encouraged and fired up. Oh yes. Let's keep going.
And we'll ignore any more negative hindrances. Don't let them get under our skin, ...The One who is in us, is Greater than the one who is in the world. :thumbsup:

I would like to share what the Lord God Almighty has done in my life by the power of the risen Lord Jesus Christ.

He freed me from an addiction
He restored my health
He gave me a love for the church where before there was only pain and bitterness
He put me in a church family where He has continued to heal and teach and comfort and humble me and care for one such as me - such a gift God has given that I sometimes wonder what I ever did to deserve His incredible love in my life - I know what I was and what I am and yet my Lord has gone above and beyond and given me so much more than I could ever dream or think of - like it says in the Bible the Lord God has given to little ol' me

God wakes me up each day such is His incredible power to keep me breathing

God has restored my family brought life where there was only death and sadness for a very long time

God has given me encouragement that He is there is small thing like doves one day coming and hanging out near where I was on my lunch break while I was having a hard time at work - their presence reminded me of His grace and goodness and promise that He knew and that He will always be there that I am not alone and now never will be that He is in my life.

Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of the Heavenly Lights who does not change like shifting shadows

God has given me reasons to always be able to thank Him

God made me a new creation, He paid for my sins, He gave me a new life to live with Him and He gives me situations to learn and grow more in my knowledge of Jesus in.

I am so incredibly blessed to have had God intervene in my life and love me

The power of the One True God is His Love

His love is very powerful

may each one who reads this know how precious they are in His sight
and how much He loves and cherishes them

God bless you

He let me see myself, and as I knelt before His Cross, He healed me. He didn't turn from me, He Loved me. (The greatest encounter I've ever had!)

He delivered me from smoking. I told Him I wanted to quit for Him; At that point I waited for my next craving to come, but it never came! It's been 13 years.

He healed my marriage. I was stuck in a really bad selfish rut. You know that place where you focus on how everyone is not loving you as good as they should? I was there, and going deeper and deeper into it. I encountered His Love (again) and then was able to give it again. Instead of focusing on how hubbie was loving me, my focus was on how I can love him. Funny thing, when you love others they love you back. :) It's been 10 years now, and we're still head over heals for each other.

I quit my job last year at His request. He said I needed to lean that He is my Provider. I was staying in a job that was dead because I was providing for myself. He exposed a deep root, I grew up feeling that I need to provide for myself and I never relied on anyone else. He said He could provide for me better than I could provide for myself. When I told my husband what the Lord was saying, he told me to quit my job. In Faith we went. We're not out of debt, but we're in a much better financial place. We bought a bigger house, and God sold our old one even though there is no market right now. I'm learning to rely on Him for the impossible, but also for the little things. He doesn't disappoint.

Most recently, He showed me my obsession with outer beauty. I spent years trying to convince myself that I have an issue with gluttony so I could be skinnier. I had no trust that others would see my inner beauty. Last year I was speaking to him about my image and He impressed on me that some day I would be at peace with my looks. I'm in that process now. I'm aware that I'm beautiful in His eyes. He asked me to trust Him as my beautician. I'm not so obsessed with looking beautiful, because I'm starting to grow in the reality that I am beautiful.

All women ask "Am I beautiful?" And all men ask "do I have what it takes to be a man?" His answer to my deep question is healing to my bones.

It was a rhetorical question, I already know the answer.

SIN
no you don't. If God is who He says He is, then your "answer" is false. The Body of Christ is the only vessel on the earth in which He works through....and you claim that it's in shambles because of sin. And we're all supposed to believe that the Head is not able to take care of His own Body? The problem is that you don't think you need to go to the Head. Are you His equal? You know as much as Him? When you point your finger and accuse the Body, aren't you really pointing your finger at the Head of it? If He was a better leader wouldn't we be in better shape? How do you reconcile a perfect loving God as the Head of a hopeless discussing Body? Is Sin more powerful than Jesus? no. Then it's not more powerful than us either.

The disappointment that you're claiming to see outwardly is most likely existent within yourself. Get Healed. Go to the Head. Then come back and testify about His Greatness.

Does God control us like puppets?
When Christians sin, is that the will of God?

When I point the finger at the body, I'm pointing the finger at the body.
You are the one who is blaming God for all this mess.

God is the one that has taught me, and that has been backed up with testimonies. Where are your testimonies? You put a testimony of gluttony???
You had a hard time with it and now you think it is God who is telling you that it is ok. When it is clearly unhealthy, and a sin.
But that just fits this mamby pamby christianity of today.
- Ohhh I have a hard time with working out and eating healthy.......that must mean that not taking care of the body is fine, it's all about the inner beauty. (YOU WILL REGRET THAT BIG TIME AS LIFE GOES ON. BIG TIME!!!)
- God tells us to take care of those in need......but I don't feel like it. I have a warm bed, a full stomach, health care, and TV.
That must mean that God doesn't really want me to take care of those in need, he just wants me to live selfish at this time!! Yeah that's it! God is in control, and He wants me to ignore the cries of those in need! (
This will change real quick when the shoe is on the other foot, when you're the one in need.)


God wants us to work together to live like Jesus, and you're arguing against me.

But have nothing to do with worldly fables
fit only for old women. On the other hand,
discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;
for bodily discipline is only of little profit,
but godliness is profitable for all things,

since it holds promise for the present life
and also for the life to come.

- 1 Timothy 4:7-8

I don't see a mess. I see a Father who Loves us and cares for us.

142 is not that bad, if your trying or if you believe that eating right, working out, and basically taking care of your body is a good thing, then that's better than nothing.
But you don't want to settle, the better shape you're in, the better you feel, the more energy you have, your emotions will be stronger, the less sleep your require, etc.

8For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come.

This verse is making a comparison, and it does say that it profits.
It is very important in this life, that is scientific and only idiots who love to please the flesh would argue other wise.


If you don't see the mess in this world, then you clearly have blinders on, and choose not to look.

Testimonies start with our inabilities, failures, weaknesses, hurts, sicknesses, sin, and then we add the God Factor.

"We should have died...BUT GOD..."
"We were at the end of our rope....BUT GOD..."
"We had no hope...BUT GOD..."
"We didn't know what to do...BUT GOD...."
"I was lost....BUT GOD...."
"Suicide was my only option...BUT GOD...."


Get the Point? We're a mess....BUT GOD....
We don't focus on the world, we focus on the ONE who conquored the world.

And, I don't need to be better, because I'm good enough just the way I am.

And, I don't need to be better, because I'm good enough just the way I am.

- People die every day from starvation, disease, sin, etc.
- Many people are at the end of their rope, and they die.
- Many people have no hope and they die
- If I remember correctly 33,000 people kill themselves every year in America.

The bible says for us to do something about people in need, not brush it off on God.
But soft, weak, pathetic Christians who love to have their ears tickled, who love to please the flesh, just pick and choose what parts of the bible they want to follow.

And so lives are ruined and people die.
God doesn't tell us to do certain things and not do other things just to hear Himself talk. It's not a game, and people who have warm beds, full stomachs, health care, and many things that the majority of the world doesn't have don't understand, or don't want to understand.
