Wow...got zapped and couldn't get on.

Yeah, I couldn't get back on for a while either. We went out and did some stuff with our dd. Had an ice cream cone while we were out. Back home now...heading to bed to read...maybe catch ya'll tomorrow.

Everyone needs a method of coping. For a Christian it's resting in our religion. Everyone has "issues"...right?

some people have issues. some create issues.
and debasing the things of God to serve self-righteous self-delusion is a crime in my book.

Trippin down a cobblestone lookin for fun and feelin' groovey. I will miss a few here, for sure.

I might be back for resurrection week to work on the feasts and I said I'd do that study on the priestly work, but don't look for me in any dark corners before April fools when I'll come and laugh at ya'all... bwahahahaha

Chow ya'll, it's been a slice.

what is vexed with devil and demoniacs

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

you mean what does it mean?

it means yer pizatski, yo. owned. operated. inhabited.

well, though technically "vexed with" could just refer to some random wandering entity hasslin' you ....

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

what is vexed with devil and demoniacs

they can tell you at the chatbox. Ask dan or thunderring.

 

[JoshuaM]

i agree about vexed moriah. but in that case i think we all can be vexed, but i do not know what to think of Christians being possessed. Usually i hear testimonies of deliverance and then a person accepting Christ during which forces demon out or after demon is out.

here is video to share with all of you:

Love Enough

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

i should share my experience with you sometime then Joshua. IF you are interested. i was a christian when i was first invaded back in 1983. an extremely devout one at that. not perfect or sinless -- no one is -- but the "heart was right" as they say. to this day i have no viable explanation for what happened to me, what went wrong, how this happened, why God allowed it to happen. i do know there were an awful lot of "Job's comforters" around at the time who did me no good at all and whose theology was just as impeccable to attempt to build a case for my being at fault somehow -- and just as false and wrong.

(and yes, anyone can be vexed).

 

[JoshuaM]

i think you can say this is my testimony

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

Respect. Cool poem -- I remember having feelings like that before too. Can't remember how they felt though.

 

[JoshuaM]

do you remember what happened in Job's case at the end? it is easier said than done but there is something Job did after which the Lord restored everything to Job and blessed him exceedingly.

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

of course. he prayed for his friends. and God went to THEM and said THEY'D better repent, cuz they had not spoken what was RIGHT about HIM ... like Job had.

Job -- who said "Let Him come down here and answer me!"

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

everywhere i go is still within the sphere ordained, still within the confines, still ... at the end of a very very long tether with the uncanny ability to give off the appearance of having broken it at some point without it ever going away.

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

that's the deception ... everyone is fooled by it, too ... even me and i've trod this circumference for 24 years!! .... that's the trap.

that's how HE ordains it.

 

[JoshuaM]

no it was not just because he prayed for his friends. it was because after all the questions, he submitted to the Lord.

Job 42

1 Then Job replied to the LORD : 2 "I know that you can do all things;
no plan of yours can be thwarted.
3 You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?'
Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to know.
4 "You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.'
5 My ears had heard of you
but now my eyes have seen you.
6 Therefore I despise myself
and repent in dust and ashes."

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

OK. Your point?

Hi laterunner. A very nice analogy! Sounds like your son is in India?

~ SOMEWHAT OF A SHAME... ~​

I've just read 6 or 7 pages of posts written while I was asleep here Down Under - minus the ones the Mod had to delete of course.

• A BIG THANKYOU to those who were peacemakers and helped keep the thread on track! Great job!!!



In my GUIDELINES I wrote yesterday I asked people to:

LOVE ONE ANOTHER. BE KIND. BE GENTLE​

and to:

TRY NOT TO REACT.​

DON'T "COME BACK AT" SOMEONE WHO'S 'AT YOU'.​

SUPPORT THE HURT PERSON.​

Here I add:​

NEVER GIVE UP
(that's what the devil WANTS you to do - then he's won!)​

BASICALLY AIM TO IGNORE PEOPLE
WRITING HURTFUL THINGS!​

If you don't respond, don't react, don't post back, then they cannot harm you or anyone! OKAY?​

_____________________________​

MESSAGE FROM MY BELOVED: Don't lose sight of the objective of The Inner Room which is to LOVE and CARE for each other. This must not be lost.​

_____________________________​

I couldn't agree more!

I shall now prepare a Message or two to help us ALL with the things that have happened here. Included will be a way for us to have a special

HAVEN

to go to when we need this.​

Meantime, please

DO NOT LEAVE

because of the upsets. That's not what God wants at all!​

Good Morning! Bless be the name of Lord!

I wrote here awhile ago that Brett and I were considering finding a new church family. We were going to try and stick with our current church because they were sponosoring us in our Emmaus walk - since we are changing walks it looks like my dad and stepmom are going to sponsor us and if they do we are going to make a clean break from the church that I have been attending for the last 11.5 years.

We came to this after prayer, talking with my father (who is the pastor I trust most in this world), and by looking at the church. The church I am leaving wants me to fix its problems, which I can not do. The church I am leaving had more people in at one time at my wedding than it has had in nearly 3 years. The church we are leaving is hard to walk into because they are so clearly divided. The church we are leaving is falling apart - I tried to help save it but I was unable to even get a small new program going to get people to become more involved - because everyone was so divided. The current church has things for two groups - children and (no offense) old people. Brett is 23 and I am 20 we need something that aims at us!

So we are moving to a new church (Fellowship United Methodist) that I am really excited about. This chruch has a lot of the old members that left New Providence UMC, this church has things that cater not just to young married couples but for military couples, and so much is offered that I am excited about. Please pray for Brett and I after this weekend (we are going to my dad's for an early birthday celebration) we are going to try this new church - please pray that the spiritual blessings we seak are there!

Thanks everyone!
