Growing in Christ

[noplacetoofar]

Praying the word back to the Father is a good place to start; His word can never return to Him void; but will accomplish what Its purpose. Parsonsmom.

Actually, I'm interested in this as well lol.

EDIT: Woot, first post! xD on....page 81! Reminds me of my days Roleplaying haha.

Wow, LeastOne's posting from above is deceivingly simplistic, and at the same time speaks so deeply. It served the purpose well and illustrated the point that every person needs healing in a different way. I mean, it's such a simple concept! But... Sometimes when something is simple in our minds it can be next to impossible to physically do. I really enjoyed that posting. I'll have to dig up some more from that person.

Sorry, I'm the new guy here. Nice to meet you all!

Hello, NoPlaceTooFar,

I'm glad to see you felt the workings of the lord in the lives of the cat and the old woman. I too am looking at more of LeastOne's old postings. And I do have a simple prayer request, which is that the Lord, help me to overcome my addiction to caffeine, primarily from black tea, although I've just started trying Green Tea lately. I have such a fear of starting my day without a caffeine boost, but since I've been here at Christian Forums, I've been feeling a bit more courageous, as I did not break down and imbibe today until half my day was over. Sometimes I get satisfaction by drinking a microwaved hot cup of water. I know there are things in life far worse than caffeine consumption, but that's where the deception lies--because caffeine has me by the throat, the stomach, and the heart!!!!

Please feel free to share any verses from the Bible that make a difference in your life. The following from Phillipians 4: 4-9 is something that I have been praying by everyday for the last few months, and it seems to make a difference:

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."

God bless us all!!!

i'm meditating on what it means to pray His Word...asking Him to help me with it....my heart silently prays a lot and the holy Spirit intercedes for me, but i'd like to actually verbalize praying the scriptures.....

 

[brinny]

beginning to stumbling-ly pray God's Word back to Him, including meditating on His answer to Jabez, which is one of the most gloriously precious testimonies to how God answers prayer.

Thank you; I heard a Pastor teaching this; it got into my spirit it was so true ; I began to pray His word; and I began to see real results;

Psalms 91: is our total protection;


Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God.

Father your Word says; anyone who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;My God, in Him I will trust; Surely He shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler; And from the perilous pestilence; He shall cover you with His feathers; And under His wings I shall take refuge; His truth shall be my shield and buckler. I shall not be afraid of the terror by night; Nor of the arrow that flies by day;
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness; Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday; A thousand may fall at your side; And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near me; Only with my eyes shall I look;And see the reward of the wicked; Because I have made the Lord; who is my refuge; Even the Most High my dwelling place; No evil shall befall me; Nor shall any plague come near my dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over me To keep me in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear me up; Lest I dash My foot against a stone; I shall tread upon the lion and the cobra; The young lion and the serpent I shall trample underfoot; [ our promise] God speaking

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.
Can you see the results?
Respectfully; Parsonsmom.

I just read it out loud. Thank you.

 

[parsonsmom]

I just read it out loud. Thank you.

It should be a daily read. thank you for reading it.
I am writing this in first person, but also pray this for other people, using our or by their name.
I pray for myself before I pray for others; this also places you in agreement me; because we are praying the same thing.

Eph:1Redemption in Christ.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; who has blessed me with every spiritual blessing; in the heavenly places in Christ; just as He chose me in Him; before the foundation of the world; that I should be holy and without blame before Him in love; having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself; according to the good pleasure of His will; His Writen Word; to the praise of the glory of His grace; by which He made m accepted in the Beloved; In Him I have redemption through His blood; the forgiveness of sins; according to the riches of His grace; which He made to abound toward me; in all wisdom and prudence; having made known to me the mystery of His will; His Written Word according to His good pleasure; which He purposed in Himself; that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times; He might gather together in one; all things in Christ; both which are in heaven; and on earth—in Him;
In Him also; I have obtained an inheritance; being predestine; according to the purpose of Him who works all things; according to the counsel of His will; His written Word; that I who first trusted in Christ; should be to the praise of His glory; I heard the word of truth; the gospel of salvation; having believed; I am sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise; He who is the guarantee of my inheritance; until the redemption of the purchased possession; to the praise of His glory.

Eph:
He; Jesus; Himself is our peace; who has ; broken down the middle wall of separation; having abolished in His flesh the enmity; that is the law of commandments; contained in ordinances; so as to create in Himself one new man from the two; thus making peace; and that He might reconcile them both to God; in one body through the cross; thereby putting to death the enmity; And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off; and to those who were near; For through Him we both have access; by one Spirit to the Father;
Now you are no longer strangers; and foreigners; but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God; having been built on the foundation of the apostles; and prophets; Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building; being fitted together; grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place; of God in the Spirit.
Paul was given this grace that he should preach among the Gentiles; the unsearchable riches of Christ; and to make all see what is the fellowship; of the mystery; which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God; who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom; of God might be made known by the church ;to the principalities and powers; in the heavenly places; according to the eternal purpose; which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord; in whom we have boldness; and access; with confidence through faith in Him;
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father; of our Lord Jesus Christ; from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named; that He would grant you; according to the riches of His glory; to be strengthened with might; through His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you; being rooted and grounded in love; may be able to comprehend with all the saints; what is the width and length and depth and height; to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God; Now to Him who is able; to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think; according to the power that works in us; to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus; to all generations; forever and ever. Amen. Respectfully; Parsonsmom.

My prayers are that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ; the Father of glory; may give to you the spirit of wisdom; and revelation in the knowledge of Him; that the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling; what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance; in the saints; and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe; according to the working of His mighty power; which He worked in Christ; when He raised Him from the dead; and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places; far above all principality; and power; and might; and dominion; and every name that is named; not only in this age; but also in that which is to come; And He put all things under His feet; and gave Him to be head; over all things to the church; which is His body; the fullness of Him who fills all in all; Respectfully;Parsonsmom.

I am so glad; I have searches for agreement; now things will be done
We hereby agree, according to His Word;
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice;
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving; let your requests be made known to God;
and the peace of God; which surpasses all understanding;
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Meditate on These Things;
Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned; Be United; Joyful; and in Prayer so stand fast in the Lord; be of the same mind in the Lord; Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say; rejoice; Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand; Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication; with thanksgiving; let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding; will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus; I can do all things through Christ; who strengthens me.
Let your tyths and offerings be a sweet-smelling aroma; an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God; And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen; So be it.
Greeting and Blessing; Respectfully; Parsonsmom.

Agreement in prayer.
We hereby agree, according to Philippians 4:19 and Matthew 18:19 as follows: ‘Father, we
see in Your Word that You will supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory. We
are setting ourselves in agreement; that our Peace and tranqulity need is met according to Your Word. We believe we receive; We establish this agreement, in Jesus Name. Amen.’”

Amen means “So be it.” As far as we are concerned, the matter is closed. We just thank God
from that point forward. We know if we want results we must not waver. To waver is to
say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose
on earth will be loosed in heaven; Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth; concerning anything that they ask; it will be done for them by My Father in heaven; For where two or three are gathered together in My name; I am there in the midst of them.”
Respectfully; Parsonsmom

 

[parsonsmom]

Can we find more that would agree with us?

 

[parsonsmom]

I found this from 2011;
Hi New_Spiritual_Birth;

I descovered this early about 30 years ago.I couldn't keep focused.
Reading outloud causes the words togo to your spirit, your mind is not capable of maintaine the Word, it is geared to the carnel mind, which must
be renewed by the Word.
There is in our mutual dwelling in Christ, by whatever; strengthening and consoling and encouraging our relationship in Him; whatever persuasive; incentive there is in love, by whatever participation in the Holy Spirit we share, and by whatever depth of affection and compassionate sympathy; Fill up and complete your joy by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose, having the same love, being in full accord; and of one harmonious mind and intention. Do nothing from factional motives; through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends; or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance; Instead, in the true spirit of humility; or lowliness of mind; let each regard the others as better than, and superior to himself; thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves. Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not merely his own interests, but also each for the interests of others.
Let this same attitude and purpose and humble mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: Let Him be your example in humility; Who, although being essentially one with God; and in the form of God; possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God, YHWH, did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, But stripped Himself; of all privileges; and rightful dignity, so as to assume the guise of a servant; or slave in that He became like men and was born a human being. And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself still further; and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross.
Being of one mind, means to be the same mind with The Annointed one. Christ . reading the Word, meditating the Word. speaking the word. Keeping your thoughts under subjection of the WORD. THANK YOU. Parsondmom.

Let this same attitude and purpose and humble mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: Let Him be your example in humility; Who, although being essentially one with God; and in the form of God; possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God. thank you. Respectfully; Parsonsmom .

Why I use simcolens; The semicolon [ ; ] is a powerful mark of punctuation with three uses;
The first appropriate use of the semicolon is to connect two related sentences;
A semicolon can also team up with a transition—often a conjunctive adverb—to connect two sentences close in meaning. Finally, use the semicolon to avoid confusion when you have complicated lists of items.


When we pray; satan comes to take away the Word; If he brings doubt; we simply speak to him in the authority of Jesus’ Name and say, “Don’t bring us your lies; Not only is it written in God’s Word; but we have agreed; We have written it down;” As far as we are concerned; the need is met. There is no doubt about it because; we have agreed according to the Word; of God; Consequently; our confession and actions will be in line; with what we have
established as truth;There have been times when we have wavered; so we take it to God; and receive forgiveness for unbelief; reinforce our original decree and go at it again; We all make mistakes in the walk of faith; The important thing is to keep walking; If you miss it; go at it again; The biggest mistake of all is to become discouraged; and quit; before you receive your answer; from that point forward; We know if we want results we must not waver; To waver is to doubt;It is good fo you to write down your agreements; Seeing it in black and white on paper will
make a difference; you will know what you agreed on; You will be more likely to line up your confession and your actions with your agreement.
Jesus said that if any two on earth agree; He would be in the midst of that agreement; to see that it comes to pass; You are on earth so you qualify; If you agree with another believer as touching anything that lines up with the Word of God; He is there in your midst to carry it out;Jesus wants you to agree; and will see to it that it comes to pass; The word agree is translated; as “agree; and harmonize together; or make a symphony together;” The word symphony ; means “all available instruments in harmony"; You must have your spirit; and mind; and actions in agreement; with the Word. Respectfully Parsonsmom.

This is such a crazy and powerful thing, I must ask a quesiton. Parsonsmon, I was wondering if it would be alright to borrow this teaching for a course I am writing on my website. It's gonna be a 14 day renewal course for people who have strayed away from God. This would fit so well. Would it be alright if I included this teaching?
