Yes, AD, God knows our heart and He doesn't condone sin. He knows we cannot give these things up in our own will. We have to bring them to Jesus, the Lover of our souls. He knows how to set us free from our sins, but we have to become entirely ready to give them to him. Then when we are free, we need to give the Glory to the Lord. One thing that was hard for me to give up was cigarettes. I used to smoke three packs a day. I tried to quit and I could not. I prayed and gave this over to the Lord and told Him when it was time, I would give them to Him. When I got baptised in water on May 23, 1983 Jesus took my desire for smoking away. I threw out my half full pack of cigarettes and I have not had one to this day! Glory to God!

I still struggle with other sins, but I know that God will set me free through the Word and through His mercy and grace. There is nothing too hard for God.

Greetings ,


And if when we acted as though we are the enemies of God , Christ suffered and died for us ; how much more will His Glorious Life flood our very being when we are living as God's friends .

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. <-----> Romans 5:10

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
<-----> John 15:13+14

For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
<-----> 1st John 3:20-23

May The Lord Be Magnified .

He will never leave you nor forsake you, saith the Word of the Lord!
Hebrews 13:5-6 AMP 5 Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]

6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?
Isaiah 42:16 AMP And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known. I will make darkness into light before them and make uneven places into a plain. These things I have determined to do [for them]; and I will not leave them forsaken.
1 Kings 8:56-58 AMP 56 Blessed be the Lord, Who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. Not one word has failed of all His good promise which He promised through Moses His servant.

57 May the Lord our God be with us as He was with our fathers; may He not leave us or forsake us, 58 That He may incline our hearts to Him, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His precepts which He commanded our fathers.

What wonderful, blessed assurance! May we be comforted and encouraged to confidently and with boldness incline our hearts to Him!

Praise the God who created Heaven and Earth for the faithfulness that I've seen in this thread! This whole site has already helped me grow closer to God, knowing that I'm not the only one fighting against the anti-Christ. Praise the Lord for it all, and thank you guys that are here to work along side me and the few other Christian believers! God bless and my prayers are with you all.

How are you? I am lost right now. THis is why!

I am still crying, I can't sleep, eat, barely breathing, it hurts so bad. I miss her so. It hurts so much. She is in a safe place now. She is my daughter in my eyes. All my friends around here say I am nuts, get over it, it's just a cat. She wasn't. She went with me to every Cancer treatment I had. She slept with me, eat with me, played with me, we did everything together, We had to bottle feed her. Because her whole family was murdered. I got her as her eyes were just beginning to open. She is and was so Beautiful. I love her.

I was wondering if you can keep me in your prayers. I know I regularly don't get down, I guess I am human after all. I just can't pull out of this, I have surgery in 2 weeks, I am afraid I won't make it, because of this. I am so afraid now. I Need God to give me peace on this. TO STOP THESE TEARS!!! I have been praying, nothing is working out here. I can't do anything, everything i do reminds me of her. Please Help Lord, Please. I am crying in Pain Lord. Lord help me.

I am so sorry you are in such pain. Dear God I ask for peace for your child Starr SDA Living Word. Give her calm and may she feel Your love surround her and take away the hurt and sadness. May she find rest in You Lord and be able to build her strength for her upcoming surgery and may she find a strength that passeth understanding. I ask these things in Jesus name, Amen & :amen:

Oh Starr...I am sorry. :hug: :hug: :hug: It is so very hard to lose a pet. It's okay to cry...it's all part of the process of grieving. I know it hurts, but I think it is better to let it all out.

Heavenly Father, I lift up Starr to You. Comfort her and bring her Your peace. Calm her now as she grieves for the loss of her beloved pet. Reassure her of Your faithfulness, Lord, that You are with her and will bring her through her surgery. Calm her fears about her upcoming surgery. Give her strength and endurance in the days to come as the day of her surgery approaches. I pray these things in Jesus name, Amen. :prayer:
