I've been in touch with Angel. She says hello. She misses being here.

Psalm 145: 5 I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor
and your wonderful miracles.
6 Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue;
I will proclaim your greatness.
7 Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness;
they will sing with joy about your righteousness.
The Lord is good! The Lord loves us so much, and He has faithful to perform His word. Yesterday a pain in my back appeared out of nowhere for no apparent reason. As time passed it grew worse until I was in fairly severe pain and limited in my movements. I didnt want to do much, but sit quietly with my Bible and think on the Lord, or to sit with my family for a movie. I forced myself to go out for groceries. During this time whenever the pain felt more severe, I thought upon His Word - He has already carried my pains and I am healed, and I would give thanks to Him for His marvelous work. Immediately the pain would lessen. The whole of the day from the noon hour on and throughout the night was like this.
The night brought yet another trial - lack of sleep. Im not one to have difficulty in falling asleep but due to the pain it took two hours to fall asleep. Even so, I was not distressed for His Word comforted me. I enjoyed His sweet presence as I pressed in for my healing in believing He had already done it. I gave thanks, and He was so sweet. I was left with five hours to sleep in which the dog woke me twice, forcing me to fight the pain as I had to get up to attend to her. If that wasnt enough, I couldnt stay in any one position for long before the pain woke me and I had to turn, each time moving by faith.
I continued with every job I had to do around the house when I arose, still holding to His Word. I continued with exercise by faith, and of all days I broke my own record in the distance I ran! I didnt only go a little further, I went much further! Glory to God! When I am weak, then I am strong. What I couldnt do on a day I feel great, I did standing for healing. And it was not hard. It was not painful. My legs didnt burn, my lungs didnt burn, and my back did not hurt.
Isnt God good?
Psalm 145: 8 The Lord is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
9 The Lord is good to everyone.
He showers compassion on all his creation.
10 All of your works will thank you, Lord,
and your faithful followers will praise you.
Shall we continue in James 4 and 5 since we haven't posted very much on what the Lord is speaking to us? Is the Lord speaking to you there? Have you spent any time there? Have read it at least once?
No pressure, just trying to get a feel for what you're thinking.
hi everyoneWho is the training by, RA?
Hi Everyone..
I've still 'transitioning' in my real time, & I haven't been doing much here.. and when I have been here, it has been mostly mindless counting or word games.. I'm finding that now that the surprise & anger is subsiding, that there is a sadness inside that I've given to God to handle.. More than once lately, a song comes on the radio as I'm driving to work.. can't think of the title right now, but it says that God is with me.. and knows what I'm going through.. cause He's been there.. Had me blubbering on the way to work today..
Got an email from my former Ministry Leader 2 days ago.. it was addressed to me & several others that have left his ministry.. saying that he had started praying for his rebellious brothers & sisters.. and praying the principality of a victim spirit off of them..
I've never heard of a leader say that anyone who left a church was rebellious & had committed treason against him.. It befuddles me.. Just glad that it is over.. he is leaving the area.. He did not say where he is going to.. he didn't want is using "wish craft" against his ministry.. (I assume he meant 'witchcraft')
Anyways.. I did a search on the forum, Cindy.. on The Maker's Diet.. and found your post from a year & a half ago.. I'm going to start it.. I have had the book for some time.. but put off going on it.. it seemed a bit complicated.. I am thinking of joining his website.. menus & recipes.. and support forums..
Mike & I have been visiting the AOG church we used to attend.. and they have been very welcoming.. and said they had been praying for us..
This week they had Steve Grohman there with "A Creation Seminar" for 4 days.. It was awesome.. and he talked about his brother who had cancer all over his body.. and refused to take any more chemo.. changed his lifestyle.. his way of eating too.. and was cured of cancer..
If you ever get a chance to see the seminar, it was so terrific.. answered a lot of questions both Mike & I Had..
Love you all..
Wow Glenda.I'm so glad you stopped in. I can tell your heart is full right now.
I was thinking that in a way, this letter is a blessing, because it tells you exactly what you were dealing with, and why you absolutely needed to leave. If you ever forget and start to second guess your decision, you can re-look at this letter. It speaks volumes.
I'm glad that you had a great seminar at your new/old church. Love and blessings to you. Ral
Glenda!
I second ral's comment of confirming your decision. This precious man is deceived and is in desperate need of prayer. He's in a very dangerous place, falsely accusing you and Mike, and however many others who have left. Sounds like he started out right, remembering your many posts in the past, but went askew somewhere along the way. What a sad thing, terribly sad.
How I pray the Lord comfort your heart, and bring healing. May He lead you and strengthen you to do His will concerning this matter.
I'm not sure I would read the letter too often. It sounds painful. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus who is good, absolute good. Meditate on whatever is pure, lovely, honest, and of a good report. He is altogether lovely, altogether beautiful, and altogether wonderful. He will keep you under the shadow of His wings as You make Him your habitation.
I'm happy you're finding you can settle into the AOG church. I was part of an AOG church, in fact two, in the past. They were good churches. One is where I grew rooted into the the Lord and steadfast in His Word. Oh how the Spirit of God flowed in that church! Whew! It was awesome.
I cook practically exclusively from The Maker's Diet having developed my own recipes and revising many. I am almost always in a state of homeostasis (a place of well-being and hormonal balance). I'd be happy to share ideas/recipes and the like with you. It would be fun. In fact, it would be a help to me, as I am trying to log my recipes. Sometimes I get too busy and let good ones fall through the cracks.
Thank you.. I will have a look.. I have looked through this site before.. listened to messages there and passed it on to people.. Wonderful site..
