God is big enough to work with a broad prayer for a group of people in certain situations to have their hearts opened.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I could give you individual needs but I think it is just as effective to pray for my family as a whole. God knows our needs as individuals and as a collective. You don't need to single out anyone publically to pray for them effectively. No names or pics needed. My opinion only.

Yes we are His instruments of righteousness, something much more important than whether something is a good or bad decision is what position was our heart in when we made the decision.. If you come around here asking for opinions as you have, you're only going to get opinion - what more can a human provide except their thoughts in response to your question hehe. It's all about Jesus and worshipping the Lord with our whole heart.
Just seen the vid, NZ has terrible internet from overselling the broadband capacity..
I think people will see what they're looking for and there's plenty of material around to stimulate someone who's in a lusty mood. I don't see anything but beauty in your presentation, and when I see her I see a beautiful person and you present a beautiful message. I must say I'm very impressed about the way you're using your talents and certainly if you are asking to place your trust in my authority representing God, I would say do it! Let your praises and worship go up as sweet purfume to the Lord! Whether or not you actually decide to publish it, your actions speak volumes about how much you Love our Lord and don't worry about those who are deceived by the enemy, our time here is short and you're clearly one of God's people, you'll never be condemned for being honest in your motive to share the Love He gives you.. is that worth 2 cents?

Very true.
Not starting a debate. Just one more thing.
If I pray for God to heal the world from sickness and I pray for God to heal the neighbor next to me, his sickness. I will see it for myself, you see? Because I could pray for the world, and not see anything, even though I KNOW something IS happening, but I just do not see it. Also, these are celebrities, I really want to pray for them. A mass of people praying for a certain person to be saved, then after that, we move to the next, etc. Things like that.
It is quite different if one person prays for someone to be saved, compared to a group of large people praying for that individual to be saved.

"I must say I'm very impressed about the way you're using your talents and certainly if you are asking to place your trust in my authority representing God, I would say do it!"
No one has presented something like this and this is why I want to do it. But, even IF, someone or groups have done this I would still want to do it. You saw the video, and I bet you saw her as a person for God, a Daughter of the King, now when you pray for her, the belief of her being saved is already there which makes it ten times better! Compare on praying for a person who you know is not right with God, and you hoping that they will be saved through praying. Compared, to watching a life changing video, and you know that she is saved (even though shes not, yet ) so you have that confidence when you pray that she will be saved because the video demonstrated or portrayed that she is a person for God.
Thank you so much for your helping. You helped me alot, the thing that I really really find helpful is when you said "..our time here is short"
Right when I read that, I was thinking "Our life here is short! Who cares what people think! Even if its proven what I am doing is 100% Holy to do, people will still criticize! You dont have that much time on earth! So make these life changing videos for as much people as possible, post them up, let people mirror them, get inspired, make some of their own and change the nations!" All this came to my mind JUST from that one phrase "our time here is short"
Wow, Amazing!

Nice video. You did a good job.
Share it. If people accuse you of anything, just tell them you felt led to create it just for her.

first - the video is beautiful. Obviously your heart shows through - and the what if's, well you could play the what-if game all day. Here's the thing. The minute you take a stand for God you're going to get blasted by someone at some time. Maybe the question you should be asking is: can I handle it? I bet you can; this will be a test of your own faith too.
The descritpive message you wrote is just fine.
So...my advice? be you. You have love in your heart from God. Go, spend it.

I don't think you should put up a video at all, that exposes the sins of another, If you want people saved you just ask people to pray for the person, using only their first name...God knows who they are.
Or if you are trying to make a movie to show broken lives and then show them as saved, use actors and actresses,(no need to be explicit) but never someone you know, unless you have their permission in writing, because they could come back and sue you at some point.
Sounds like you have a good heart that needs a little guidence. Don't stop trying to do good, just find a different way.
And avoid putting up links to explicit videos that a child could stumble upon especially on a Christian site, this may be very confusing to them.
God Bless

Yes I think you identified the divinity of holiness we represent with our words. Since I carry and am possessed by the spirit of Christ (as well as my own spirit, we live in harmony), you are able to receive messages of epiphany from Jesus (the counsellor) when you read my words (if that is what Jesus wants you to learn).
Some of us are prophets and some are preachers set apart for that purpose - to represent God with our words. Nevertheless, my words however divine have capacity to be partly 'wrong' - able to be misunderstood and never sharp enough to pierce the heart like Jesus' words can. His words are perfect truth and He is perfect Love. The only other words which have 100% pure holy divinity is the Holy Bible.
I've got a good understanding and visualisation of the story of life as God has revealed it to me, so I'm a firm believer in Jesus' second coming (it's in the Bible and the Bible doesn't lie!). My attitude (reflective of my true nature): I don't actually know if it makes much difference to pray for lost souls, it demonstrates we Love each other as God Loves us and we wish most solemnly that God will intervene and bring these people to Him. By all accounts it is a noble cause, however God has a very unique position to grant wishes only when they are according to His grand plan to resolve a certain situation brought on by Adam and Eve. If this means someone goes through their whole life without accepting Christ, Lord have mercy amen!
Good on you man, great to see you're sharing the Love of Christ!

Oh yes my friend, we are definitely on the same page! Christ invokes peace in every direction I look because I displaced the evil in my life for the Love of Christ. If I ever hear turmoil I announce a prayer (even in the mind - spirituality doesn't depend on words manifested physically - humans do though), instantly Jesus brings peace to the conflict and it is resolved. We get to see the world through rose-coloured glasses when we come to know Jesus and that means the world around us must demonstrate the peace we expect. Our Lord is the most worthy of worship, the Most Holy, Most High.
Matthew 8
23Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!" 26He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
27The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"
This is The Almighty Lord, Jesus the son of God who we worship!

Hey I been listening to Pantera - Phil Anselmo, some of his words sound quite angry at God but when I hear them my heart goes in worship to The Lord, so I definitely feel to bless him for his role in my life.. I guess that's the faith we have in the Lord - if I can see this man a holy messenger then why couldn't he when he formed his worship? I don't think salvation is a matter we could really spread an opinion about, it's clearly where we stand with God at any time and I'm assured it is the message of our heart which counts.
Good on you for initiative, the light continues to grow brighter with every good thought we have!

If the medium of videos is what gave her a smutty rep , then a different medium should probably be used to tell her story , like words with no pics .
Blessed are the physically unattractive , for they can scarcely serve as a stumbling block .
