you know Jay Ross Isaiah 55: 7&8 says
Yes, it states this: -
Isaiah 55:6-11: -
6 Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord.
9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
The question that I have for you is did you accept the prayer that I had inserted in my post: -
My Prayer is that God will draw you into His truth and that you will be prepared to humble yourself and repent of the wrong(s) that you are doing.
I then went on and said: -
If what you are doing is of the Lord, then it will not fail, but what we are reading is that you are continually having problems and that you want people on this forum to pray to God to tell Him to fix it.
What I am discerning from your "rebuttal" is that I apparently, in your eyes, am a problem because I am allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through me, words that the Lord wants you to hear.
I also said this: -
People on this forum can ask God to Bless You, but if God remains silent in blessing you, then He has heard those prayers and responded. The literal always comes before the spiritual. The apostle Paul worked to support the ministry God called him too. Perhaps you should consider Paul's example in financing your ministry calling.
Your rebuttal is one of attacking the person. It is your usual modus of operation, when what you want is not delivered in a manner that you approve of.
Again your cheap mentality, you donot know what prayer and intercession is?, make use of it let others pray, the power of darkness will break.
Apostle Paul did God's work why donot you do God's work, Paul s way. You should read the books of Paul and see your life and thoughts will change , you will never come out with such thought and posts.
May be the letters of Paul will not inspire you but Paul's work is inspiring you.
For your kind information Jay Ross I have a missionary training and I am here as a missionary.
You know you will never go extra mile to do God's work but you will go extra mile to misbehave some one like your posts again and again
You are right Mel, I have followed the apostle Pauls example when I have visited Nepal, I did not ask for money from the church where I worshipped to support me, nor was I a burden on the people that I lived with, but my wife and I paid generously for our upkeep. We were also generous when we were presented with needs, like providing aid to residents of a slum when there was a fire in that slum. We were just one of the people who paid for things like, cooking pots and pans and stoves, or Mattress and blankets. The number of "houses/rooms" that were destroyed was well over 60. When we did this, we listened to God first to seek His direction on what we should do to help out. We helped all of the families that had been affected, both Christian and Hindu alike. We visited remote villages to encourage them in their faith, and to assist the pastor in baptising many Nepali new Christians.
I also have experienced how other Christians can use prayer against their Christian Brothers, but I have always examined myself first to see whether or not I have turned away from God's counsel. When the counsel I receive was justified, I thanked God and turned back once again.
Much has happened since our last trip, but while we have had to wait for the Covid pandemic to subside, we have also helped to sow seeds into the lives of ten family through the establishment of ten small goat herds around Gorkha. Not only did we fund the purchases of the does and bucks, but we also provided input into how they can improve the blood line of the purchased goats through the regular trading of their bucks with other farming communities.
I have Nepali friends who are praying for my wife and I to return to Nepal, but at the moment there are medical conditions that need to be taken care of before we can return. If we feel capable when the medical conditions have been dealt with then we will return if the Lord prompts us to go.
Mel, be very careful when you bad mouth other Christians.
Shalom
