I would like to ask prayer for you guys for guidance. We have been at our current church about 9-10 years but feel like we may need to be making a move. I would appreciate prayer about this. This is a big thing for us to change churches. Thanks.

I'm praying for you and your family, KayKay. We went through a similar time last summer, when the Lord took us out of the church we had been in. The season was over--it was time for us to move. He sent us--and I mean sent us, because it was clear that was where He wanted us to be--to another church which has been such a blessing to us.

A passage that helped a lot was in Ezekiel 47, where the Word is talking about the river, symbolic of the presence of the Holy Spirit and His anointing. Then in Ezek. 47:11 it says, "But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt." I was struck by that. The Lord gave me this understanding. We tend to go to churches where the River used to flow. But then for whatever reason, the River of God's presence is not flowing there anymore--that place has become a marsh. God doesn't want us to stay in the marshes. When there is no new flow of the Spirit, that is a marsh.

We moved to a tiny church where the River was flowing. We have been so blessed.

Thanks for your prayers and your comments, Ariel.:hug: I think your words may very well have some personal meaning which I will consider very carefully...and prayerfully.

I will keep you in my prayers: KayKay, buttercup, rebornfree, fallingwater's daughter, gratefulgrace mil. I hope I did not leave anyone out.

I have more of a favor more then a prayer request. Although she would appreciate prayer a friend of mine who is ill needs a good laugh once in awhile. Some people like to send others forwards and she would appreciate getting some funny or just interesting ones. If you or someone you know would like to add my email address to things to forward to others I would appreciate it. I think my email address is in my contact info under my profile? I will check and make sure.
Thanks to you all.

I don't think they show email addresses anymore. There is a place to email me and if you will I will give you my email address. I would post it here but I dont' know if I'm suppose to do that. Why can't things be more simple?

I do worry that I am boring you with our situation but we have now been advised that Rob's radiotherapy treatment is scheduled to start on 12th August. We have to attend the hospital a couple of times before that date for preliminary scans etc.


We are relieved that things are now starting to happen. We know that Rob can't wait too much longer for this treatment to begin because of the size of the tumour (about the size of a golf ball pressing on the brain stem).


Our love and grateful thanks to all who have been holding us up in prayer.:hug:

Hiyah Sis' Ley'

Now dont you start becoming anxious [over the inconsequential ?]

By way of reply....

If, and WHEN, we, wish to follow the Lord's footsteps
become more LIKE HIM [imitate Him]
THEN, not only must we HEAR every prayer/ request
BUT, we must sing them out to God
AND, request His Divine Intervention
AND, Praise Him for His ALMIGHTYNESS
AND, submit to His will


Dear Sis'

We are about to see the Lord at work on Rob
We are about to become WITNESSES to His sovereign power
His will, be done

"Ask! and it shall be given ye!"

Let us ask..........

Holy Father, who knowest all of our needs
before we can know them and want them
Thou who knowest what is truly in our hearts
permit us, to treasure those wonderful gifts
with which you have adorned our lives
Father, we thank and praise you for every mercy
you have shown, to we, who are less than perfect
Continue to show us your grace through Rob
reward our faith in the Good Shepherd
and protect and heal him in your loving arms
amen


'Almighty God,
to whom all hearts are open, all desires known,
and from whom no secrets are hidden;
Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts
by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit,
that we may perfectly love you,
and worthily magnify your holy name;
through Christ our Lord. Amen'


:hug:

your Bro'
