Our members are having an unusually high number of crises happen over the past few days, so
I ask our members to keep prayer in mind for our community. Thank you - Truman.
I'm noticing the same thing. God is returning soon, and others express that also. So he is making it known of his return. I'm wondering if that has something to do with all of this.

Praying for our group.

He's coming soon, that's for sure. What a day that'll be! I hope we'll see each other and know who we are. So we can say, "we're here, guys!" Something is happening!

I've received Jesus' spirit much in the past few years. As many of us have. It's been nice to get to know him a little.

I have often noticed that problems and issues increase in October , without starting up another topic, over the years I have been well aware that as Halloween is the highlight of the satanic year ( within their cults ) they pray for the downfall of Christians ……it’s a pattern I have seen over many many years……
October is never a good month in spiritual warfare …..but every year it takes me by surprise !
Maybe we need to pray through Isaiah 54:17
“ no weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of The Lord,
And their righteousness is from me “ says the Lord.

it doesn’t mean that we will not face problems , the weapons formed will come, but the emphasis is on them NOT Prospering ………..How we react, how we respond. Remember the Lord is with us in the battle xxxxx

A little while ago I was reading something about the armour, we think it protects from attacks, but in essence it is need to protect our own reactions and responses, our own failing internal flaws that cause us to doubt, question, lose hope ect. I don’t know about anyone else but I can cope with a few things, but it’s when I am bombarded that my emotional and mental responses get a bit frazzled ………..I wish I could remember where I was reading about the armour as it explained it in a better way and made me really think !

You are part of ‘ our members ‘ JohnPaul ……so in essence we are praying for one another xx
Well I presume Truman’s meant the forum ……x
Thank you Rita, I am also going through some crisis at work and need all the prayer I can get and the Jesus gives me the strength to deal with this, I feel like I'm at the end of continuing this job, seems like I go from one bad job to another in spite of me asking the Lord to open a new door for me, I thought this was the one, but it's not.

Yes, I saw your thread. Sometimes we don’t know what we are learning until we look back and discover the way in which The Lord has used something …..at least that’s been my experience. Maybe view each job as an opportunity rather than a bad job, doors open and close all the time for Christians.
I truly trust in Romans 8:28 ………but it wasn’t always the case, I learned that trust through looking back and realise that each bad experience reaped a positive.
Will be praying xxx

I recommend reading the Dietrich Bonhoeffer biography by Eric Metaxas.

Considering the events happening in 1930's Germany he quoted the following:

We will have to move through a very deep valley,
I believe much deeper than we can sense now,
before we will be able to ascend the other side again.


We could apply that today, considering covid, and all the other issues the world is facing today.

No surprise this is little by little also invading our group.

But Praise God! We know the end. :)

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, You are with me" Psalm 23
When I started walking this Psalm 23 road, I was so afraid. Then I got Lupus and learned that there was a 60% chance that I'd be dead by 2006. In 2014, 4 weeks after both my parents died while I was living with them, I had a rare reaction to an anti-vertigo drug.
I was in a coma. After my heart stopped and they couldn't revive me, and as they were filling out my time of death, my heart started beating again. I know Jesus started it because years later, I remembered that while I was dead, I met Jesus in the New Jerusalem!
Sometimes I have to ask the Lord to give me the strength to take my next step...He always does. He...is...faithful...to us!
Every day that He has for each one of us, we will live. And then we get to spend eternity with Him! That's what I call, "win, win!"
Oh, yeah, I effortlessly put Psalm 23 to music and sing it as a love song to the Lord. You know, I played a video of it for a Rav Dror, a guy who teaches orthodox Rabbis, and he said that he could tell that I really loved the Lord! I was shocked! It's amazing what God can do with our suffering! :)
