One time Answers in Genesis did a presentation at my school. After people could go up to them with questions. There were nonbelievers / atheists who did, but the presenters didn’t really answer them. They just smiled & nodded. Even to easier questions. I was so disappointed & frustrated.

Lots of stuff going on in my life. My grandpa passed away, I lost my job, and now I have covid!

But God is still good! Please pray for me to find a new job quickly, that school continues to go well (I'll get my degree in July!), peace for my family, and that I start to feel better soon. This is the strangest illness I've ever had. My temperature spiked to 103 and keeps going up and down. The worst of my symptoms are feeling dizziness and extreme fatigue. Thank you!

I'm glad to hear you're on the mend. I posted something for you on @DragonFox91's thread in relation to employment. In light of your circumstances you may wish to view the first video along with my recommendations (for you) and the recent one for businesses.

You may find my response to @linux.poet helpful as well.

In all my years in Clown World, I’ve seen many truly hilarious things, had many good laughs. All that was total amateur hour compared to what I just saw. By far the most hilarious thing I have ever laid eyes on in my entire life, never laughed so hard before. It felt like I was going to suffocate there for a minute, my abdominal muscles got sore, even had tears in my eyes I laughed so hard and so long; I couldn’t control it haha. So I don’t have a TV at my place and am not up to date on the latest shenanigans of this 3 ring circus known as Clown World. Came across this online earlier; I guess it was part of an ad during a football game. A movement called ‘He Gets Us’ or something like that.

Clown World is REAL! LOL, maybe I have a weird sense of humor or whatever but I totally lost it, never in my entire life did I laugh so hard and uncontrollably LOL..the combination of churchianity and woke, you talk about a match made in hell LOL. This is the most epic comedy I have ever seen by far, and unintentional comedy is always the best! If they have stuff like this on TV regularly I am going to have to rethink my anti-TV views and consider getting hooked up! This is truly great stuff LOL! I quit having a TV at my place before converting, perhaps I made a mistake and have been missing out.

Uhhhh yeah. Check the irony meter on your avatar name, sir.


Anyways, hi, Miss @bèlla . :hi:
If I may ask for everyone's prayers, please pray that the Lord will take me through the six days of work in a row that I have starting tomorrow. There's a 24-hour turnaround in the midst of it also. Thankfully, it's at least the first such instance of overtime that I've had to do in probably three months, so I have actually been pretty lucky lately.

Bitterness and mockery dressed up as righteousness isn’t healthy.

I remember reading an article in one of their journals that the older generations know the Old Testament better than the younger generations. I've realized later that that claim is not true.

I have tried to get a job with Answers in Genesis a few times. They don't want any of their workers arguing about true teachings vs. false teachings. They think it's okay if someone has an unbiblical belief about water baptism.

The tote contains all of the books that my IRL friends have given me that I haven’t gotten around to reading or finishing. It is traumatizing to look at.

I will be telling my friends to stop giving me more books. What a mess.

Thank you SK. :)

You have my prayers. I hope you find a position (or one is created for you) who's schedule will be more comparable to your welfare. You've borne the difficulties long and I'm certain the Lord is pleased to have you in that setting.

Welcome back to CF. :)

Thank you. :)

Have you settled your legal difficulties? If not, you may want to reference my post to @Macchiato. Most of the directives are comparable and you'll alleviate most of the spiritual challenges. While I recommend the business prayer marathon I mentioned to @Saucy, I'd do it after the others to smooth the path.

I did it earlier and I'm always amazed what happens when the earth is engaged. On a separate note, I think you'd find the message on Joseph of Arimathea (Joseph of Arimathea's Secrets to Wealth and Influence) edifying and how he ties it with Joseph in the old testament. In light of your questions about Myron I think you'll be blessed by the series on The Order of Melchizedek and the altars. They're lengthy and I recommend the longer versions. They were delivered to an audience accustomed to long teachings and he unpacks a lot in them.

I looked at my history. These are the ones you want:

The Abrahamic Blessings Parts 1-5
The Mysteries of Supernatural Provision Parts 1-5
Mobilizing the 4 Winds for Kingdom Advancement

You should view the latter after the message on speaking to the earth I posted on @DragonFox91's thread. They work together! Exercising dominion in one doesn't address the other. You need to tackle both. Once you cover them things will fall in place and you'll understand what he's referencing.

More importantly, you'll be edified and experience the breakthroughs you need to advance your course. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Pack them away for now. You may find titles that are hard to get or costly as new editions emerge. Except the gifts with grace. The Lord may direct them to share something you'll need later on or a resource you're meant to share.

I built a sizable collection that included different practices and several books on mythology and historical studies on the Celts and I threw them away. Now I need them.

I had asked about a month ago to transfer to the one lab tech position that consists of doing an 8 hour shift in the evenings from 5pm to 1am, Monday through Friday, usually reserved for the newest folk in the lab. But it's looking like they're just stringing me along again saying yeah, that sounds like a good idea, we'll look into it, but not actually interested in making it happen. =/

Also, that six days just turned into seven nights in a row. :ahem: Well, I am able to look at this way this time: I get one extra OT day's worth of money on my next paycheck, and it eliminated that nasty 24-hour turnaround.

Gotta say this about Albemarle: working at Dr. Pepper before this didn't pay nearly this well, either. ^-^

Reminds me of the haul I spontaneously brought in from Barnes&Noble while I was out of town the other week. (Hadn't shopped at a physical bookstore location in probably six years before that. ^_^ )

That's a positive upside but if you're encountering continued resistance or closed doors on your request I'd address it spiritually. Look at my message on Dragonfox's thread. You want the teaching on speaking to the earth + Dangerous Prayers for Your Workplace followed by Defeating the Laban Spirit at the Workplace. He begins with a teaching and follows with guided prayers. Listen to the one on the earth to grasp the principle. You'll pray as well and continue with the others. If there's a hindering spirit you'll address it.

In light of my recommendations regarding work/business I wanted to share a testimony. My daughter experienced an unexpected interruption in October. She contemplated staying home but decided to return to her previous employer. She left on good terms and reached out to them. Upon doing so, she discovered they were discussing her the day before regarding a position on the horizon. Wishing she was there to fill it.

After a few exchanges she clarified her interest and received confirmation from management. They had a hiring freeze and assured her they'd reach out when it was lifted. But the Lord had something else in mind. She discovered an upcoming job fair after a lengthy prayer session while fasting. We've done the ones I've recommended to others and she decided to go.

As 'luck' would have it. She met with the company and discovered they'd merged with her former employer. She didn't have to wait. Because she worked for their partner the process was expedited and she was hired. I didn't think that was the end. I felt the Lord honored her request and the desires of her heart would be fulfilled.

When she went to orientation she bumped into her former manager. The next day she saw her previous supervisor. She encountered another manager on the third. They were excited to see her and she was given assurances of her place with them. Because she was hired by the other they could speed things up and bring her on when the freeze abates.

I attribute her fortune to the Lord's grace and relentless prayers. Most notably those relating to financial hindrances, unemployment, evil winds, speaking to the earth and so on. It was a quick work and favor is many fold.

I share this in the hopes others may be encouraged to follow suit. It's my hope this isn't the lone report we hear.

I received the written judgment from the court in the mail today. I won the court case. Praise the Lord!

Thank you for all of your prayer support through this fiery ordeal.
Soon after that, my dad started losing his job, so I shall not receive much further trouble from him for now until he figures out where his new job is and where he is going to live. The Lord has protected me.
Pack them away for now. You may find titles that are hard to get or costly as new editions emerge. Except the gifts with grace. The Lord may direct them to share something you'll need later on or a resource you're meant to share.

I’m not about to throw them away, rather to read my way through and then decide whether to keep or sell them. Most of those books are spiritual, theological, or business titles. The wheat must be culled from the chaff.

The literature that is there I probably will hang on to. I most certainly would not casually throw away a work on the Celts. They are important people in church history, and their music is beautiful.
