Everyone, when I was in Fort Worth last weekend, seeing family, I had two really demonic dreams--I don't know if it was because of the motel room I was sleeping in, or if it was because of demonic over my famly--I have a mentally ill mom, and my brother has been out of a job and drinking, sleeping in the day, etc. It is a pain and very creepy for me to visit family back home. I hate it. I dreamed of a figure with it's face hidden, coming in a doorway--it was so realistic and horrible and I was glad to wake up from it. But good came out in that I was able to witness to my brother(he grew up with his dad out in California, so we didn't grow up together). He told me of seeing wispy figures hovering over his bed when 5 yrs old. and...when he was livng with a foster family(who were church of christ) he was baptized...but he doesn't understand about being born again...and there is some incorrect doctrine in the church of christ when it comes to salvation, Baptism, etc. So...I know I planted a seed, but pray for him. He dealt with creepy churchianity stuff, but I tried to tell him it isn't about that.

Don't forget that satan can do nothing that is not in God's Will.Well, I see it this way..when our first ancestors Adam and Eve, sinned, they gave title to the earth over to satan, which means satan runs things--the world system, and will be that unfortunately, until when Jesus returns. That means, there will be tares in power in religious powerful places as well as political. satan literally controls our political systems as well as the media, Hollywood, NASA etc. We, who belong to the Lord, and if we are really walking in His Ways, will find ourselves on the fringes of society--because 'the powers that be', those who follow satan--won't let us be 'successful' etc. Those who do...unfortunately, have 'sold out' compromised, etc. I want to say more on this, but this would not be the place to say those things--it may creep some out-
I will be praying for you.Everyone, when I was in Fort Worth last weekend, seeing family, I had two really demonic dreams--I don't know if it was because of the motel room I was sleeping in, or if it was because of demonic over my famly--I have a mentally ill mom, and my brother has been out of a job and drinking, sleeping in the day, etc. It is a pain and very creepy for me to visit family back home.

My friends: Share with us what is going on in your life.
No you're not being a pest.
It's really hard to articulate it exactly. Maybe sentimental reasons? I searched out for a forum for more fellowship and was enticed by the name. Enticed probably is not a good word, but "christian" being in it certainly piqued interest.
The principle of Jesus and St Paul is stated in scripture and how could that be upheld in any creedal church anywhere?Maybe it's because with "christian" in it, the site was not showing embarrassment or hiding it's principals founded on faith and Christianity?
Does one grow by means of people or by every word of God ?Maybe because I've grown more, which I definitely attribute to some members here?
More than you know, please talk onLike I said it is a good question. Do those responses help at all?
certainly anything beyond the destruction of the seven churches of God is modern, anything derived from any root of Rome .... but there are other corruptions , and what of teh great rift even incorrupted 'christianity' ... each side caliming the other is heretic, but never guessing that both are ...I can understand your feelings towards modern christianity. If it's the same that I'm thinking. How would you define "modern"?
Read Matt 7 notably the bit about good works and what use they are , but note that none of the congregation do not have good works either ?But, just like in church, I have found many members here who have God's love that oozes and seeps uncontrollably from their pores.
Well I could not have said it better , that is the most beautiful goal for anyone I trowIt is their deep faith, trust and love for and towards others that I strive for.
Crystal clear... and well said, you have a voice that you use too little methinks... your light is worth being seen you know and you are among many friends who called you to them hereDon't get me wrong. I don't want to be "just like them". I want to feel and show just like they can. Does that make sense?
Yes I would be very happy to talk more of thisI'll think on it more to see if I can describe precisely why I'm happy to have the old name back.
Well, I see it this way..when our first ancestors Adam and Eve, sinned, they gave title to the earth over to satan, which means satan runs things--the world system, and will be that unfortunately, until when Jesus returns.

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling betterIf you would like to know what is happening in my life, I will refer you to my blog. Today I am feeling better, as I rested last night and went to sleep early and slept deeply--but I still decided to keep my pajamas on just to remind myself to be mindful of recuperating. (Btw--do you love my jammies??)
This morning I awoke to rain, here in the lovely tropics of the U.S.--so I share with you this poem. It is not summer here, the air has turned to cool crispness, and yet the sentiment is well said:
Summer Rain
By Gerald Fisher
Father Sky is gray
As the new light appears
And the laughter of the birds is still
the clouds shed their tears
and the land drinks of this heavenly dew
puddles replace the dust
irresistible temptations for little feet
Turning my face to the sky
and feeling the gentleness of the mist
washing away my cares
filling my heart with happiness
Lifting my spirits
like the quenching of the crops
Raising my arms
I turn to the four winds
and give thanks for this
gentle Summer Rain.
