Prophetic practice thread (6)

[freedomnchrist]

What can I say, when I tell my story either people try to "fix" it, they become burdened and dismiss me before they know what is going on, or they call me a lier.

I am sorry for this.

I struggle like everyone, to trust God, forgive those who hurt me, walk in the way, etc. But what I find is that the more I struggle, the easier I find it is to trust God and forgive others.


As I said on another thread where I go into more detail about todays struggles, emotions come and go but God is a stable. We today face life without. We go without food, heat, etc. But we want for nothing because God is our provider. Today I will study love and know that God is greater than all the evils this world can hit us with. And so it is enough for you to know that today brings stress and suffering but God brings joy and peace.


I realize when I talk about our lives, people hear pain, in fact, I wouldn't expect anything different, as a friend says, what I face daily would be more than most could deal with. But she also, in the same breath, marvels at how much peace we have. I am tired it is true, I long for rest, a break, a vacation as it were, but God is so good, and trust me when I say, we are secure, not just in the protective love of His hand, but also in the very center of His heart, and I would face a million more trials and pains if only to remain there, in the depths of His Love.

My only desire in life is that when it is over, I will hear my Lord and King say well done my good and faithful servant.

Me too I can't wait!!

And if I might hear those words uttered, there is nothing I can image that I would not endure. That being said, I don't desire to suffer, but I find that suffering is nothing compared to the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. And it is those who have yet to know this Love and this grace that I hurt for. It is that all might know this Love that drives away all fear that drives me. It is the pain that there are those who will never see this same God that hurts more than any suffering this life has ever thrown at me. It is sharing and knowing Christ's pain that is the hardest thing of all to endure.

I can't remember exactly where right off the top of my head...but there is a scripture in the Bible that talks about us being strangers here in this world.

And by the way....we get called liars all the time in here....people just don't actually come right out and say it. It is the prophecy thread....lots of people think we are lying.

 

[freedomnchrist]

Rest here with us. The peace of God is here.

Just from me...I don't need to fix you or change you or make you into anything. You are a child of God and created in His image. You are obviously very passionate about your love for the Father and your service here on earth. Nothing about that needs to be fixed. Oh that many others could feel that fire in their belly! You are a blessing!
If you need peace and rest, then lay down your sword and close your eyes. Christ said..."Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." And as one who also watches over those who need cover, I wil pray for you and cover you as you rest.

Struggle comes to us all. We are so human and so fragile but the might of God, the creator of love, is on us all.

Be blessed and rest.

well said sister!!!!!!

They, or rather she likes to touch a lot on the Hebrew meanings of things. I would like to study more up on it myself. There is something that I can't quite describe about the Hebrew language, but in a good way.

Jeremiah 33:3 (King James Version)

http://www.biblegateway.com/help/faq/?id=2#10


3Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.


I was thinking on this morning. He said to call on Him..and He would show us great and mighty things we don't know....show=eyes! We will see what He is talking about. BUT it is personal. Sometimes, we have to look for ourselves. Not expect people to spoon feed us. The battle is never over, we rest when we get to Heaven. It is constant, but I believe our secret weapon is this...to seek HIM with all our hearts, trust Him, call on HIM...and HE will show us what we don't know! Amen?

 

[freedomnchrist]

Let's get the Holy Spirit going!!!

Lord we invite you into this place!! Come and fill our lives to overflowing!! Allow us to be trend setters and not be caught up in the trends!! Lord I just ask for a special hedge of protection to be placed around Josh as he goes about his day today. May no weapon formed against him prosper. May everything that comes out of his mouth edify and encourage and may he spread the gospel to the corners of the earth. Amen!!

Steven....be patient in the Lord my friend. He will direct your paths and make you ways straight. "Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall rise up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

yall...I need you to pray for me. I really like reality tv shows.....and it is time for Big Brother 9. I am having troubles deciding if it is ok for me to watch or not. I really like it but I just don't know. And if I am not suppose to, I pray that God will give me the strength to overcome it.

Sister...if you are questioning it then it might be because the Lord has lain in on your heart to stay away. (?) When we feel like we're sneeking...we are doing just that...sneeking around.

Maybe God wants you to fast from that show to strengthen you? I have faith that God will bolster you up! He only wants the best for you!

Matt 18:9 - And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

And by the way....we get called liars all the time in here....people just don't actually come right out and say it.

I hear you. It just makes me realize its a small (quite small) bit of what jesus went through. Unjustness is in the world, I keep my eyes on Him who knows all.
