    Rise up in boldness children of God and be used of His Spirit.

    Somehow I have always been 'aware of ' angels around since I was a young christians. Like you, I was always 'jumpy' and uneasy when I heard people say that they chatted to 'their angels'. But I have to say Mark , that the night my dad died I fell into bed worn out. For weeks I'd been up at...

    No that is Mary who is fighting liver cancer...this is a lady called Pat which I have known since the 1970's. ( back in our community days :) )

    How Should I Pray?

    This remind me of Job.. "Does Job serve ( love) God for naught. " I often say this to Dave when he is in a moaning mood. We remind each other. When I am not "under things" I can remember that almost in every situation, the issue is never the issue ...but trusting God unto the end is the...

    How Should I Pray?

    How Should I Pray?

    Sad story. :( I find it insulting to us when these people live are a blessing throughout life, them humbled at the end by sickness. I visited an old friend yesterday...so sad , she was such a strength and blessing in life and testified of the Lord powerfully...now she can hardly walk, her...

    How Should I Pray?

    @Pearl @Nancy Pat we do know the promise in James 5 , and it comforts me often- "The fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. " I notice it doesn't say ...gets answered every time...but it does say that it avails much!! I think that is what Elijah did as he prayed for rain. And kept...

    How Should I Pray?

    Ive gotta go...but will be back...hope I can still find it then too. This almost dovetails with the other thread re suffering. To me God is never the one hurting us for the sake of it...or leaving us in pain. ( an boy can I relate to that..) I have shouted at God a time or two. My dad...

    How Should I Pray?

    Some threads which 'seem' to be the same , often develop very differently. I wouldn't abandon one for the other. I believe that it not 'how' we pray , ie words... "take these boils away" OR "Lord change me via this experience" It's the prayer of faith which wins the day...we know that...

    Adoption 3

    Good point...touché Now I get where you are coming from. I guess if I put 'the fear of God' into my kids when very young...they could be controlled by the sternness of my mouth, rather than 'the rod of correction'. ( which was never a rod, but my hand ) So..."The fear of the Lord is the...

    What is the correct view on genesis

    Amen @Nancy Good word. So many seem to struggle over portions of the bible ...saying -"Is this a spiritual meaning or a literal story?" If they came to understand that it is always both, the struggle would be over. We can't have the one without the other (Well we can, and some do) yet...

    Adoption 3

    Well my parents didn't give us a suffer free childhood.. Neither did I with mine...thankfully mine were born in early 1960's when the biblical discipline of 'the rod of correction' was still in vogue. Glad your kids didn't need it and just did what they were told. I don't think any kid...

    Adoption 3

    @GodsGrace So, why do you think that God wrote this if there was no need for any uncomfortable things in our maturing as a son of God? :- " My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience./endurance But let...
