Rapture: Pre or Post ?

[Love Hurts]

Bluetuesday, (3

 

Satan is the author of confusion; he does a good job of distorting and hiding the truth.

 

1 Corinthians 14:33

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

 

In the end its about free choice… we have been given intelligence to discern. We owe ourselves a proper investigation of the word; we owe ourselves a proper investigation of Jesus and Satan.

 

After… reading and understanding if we still disagree or reject Jesus.. its individual free choice. There is no push into… thankfully its impossible to be pushed into Heaven.

 

Each man must and will choose his own road.

 

God Bless

i'm afraid this is pointless. whilst i am sure you are well-meaning, i feel obliged to tell you that you have been misled by a businessman masquerading as a church leader into holding a position that is full of dead men's bones.

 

i was a mainstream christian for 30 years and equally misled, because the idea of someone else (jesus) being responsible for my salvation was an enticing one. but there were sufficient questions that kept niggling away at me until i came to the stage where i would rather know the truth and lose my religion and, in some ways, my sense of myself, than defend a position that might not be true. i didn't want to waste one more day refusing to let god speak to me because i had hardened my heart with the surety i was already right.

 

i asked god with an open heart - with no expectation of the answer i would receive - to show me truth. it took three years of asking before i received the clear answer that finally made sense and that i knew contained truth. it's not a complete truth, it's a revelation i can grasp at my current level of understanding and spiritual development. i do not claim to have all the answers, or that what i have been told would be right for everyone. but i am certain i am now on the right path, because i no longer have a need to see it as right in an ultimate sense. it is merely right for me.

 

the bible was not written by god. it was written by man. any revelation from god has to be filtered through human consciousness and is therefore liable to be perverted to a lesser or greater degree. it is not totally false, it contains fragments of truth. but the fact it has survived for thousands of years is not a miracle. the church has grown fat on keeping that book alive, because while it lives, the church leaders have power. that is the simple truth.

 

jesus was not the only son of god. he IS god in an ultimate sense, because we all are - but the only difference between him and you is that he realised who he was and fully embodied it, and you haven't yet. he was not killed because man and god needed to be reuinited. he was killed because he annoyed religious leaders who saw him as a threat. yes, man and god did need to be reunited but not through blood sacrifice. through man living according to jesus' example. jesus came to be an example to follow, not an idol to worship. he wasn't perfect and incidentally, he neither needs nor wants to be worshipped. the same goes for god.

 

the purpose of life is growth. it is self-transcendance. it is realising who you are in god. it is being in heaven while you live because you know you and god are inseperable. it is realising heaven isn't a place you go to once you die, it's a place you realise you already are while you live.

 

so when you die and meet the angels and they tell you that while you're still idolising jesus and letting a book think for you, while you've not yet accepted your true identity as a daughter of god and brought the kingdom of god into physical manifestation and therefore you cannot go to heaven, you won't be able to tell them nobody told you. i have just told you. you will ask for another chance at life to prove you can do it and that chance will be granted to you. in fact, you will keep re-embodying until you fully realise the purpose of life and the truth of god, or you will willfully destroy yourself in refusing to.

 

the life we have from god is precious. use it wisely. don't spend it all following a religion which keeps the glory of god hidden and keeps you viewing yourself as a miserable sinner saved from hell by jesus.

 

when i was a christian, i used to think god was magnificent, adorable, glorious, boundless love. what i now know about god dwarfs that assessment in every possible way, like the sun doth a lamp (i do love shakespeare). i cannot tell you what i know of god, because the words don't exist. all i can tell you is that god is always more than you can imagine.

 

but i had to be willing to literally lose my life for the pursuit of god's truth before i could learn what i have learned. you will not believe me when i say the god you know in christianity is a lie, because only when you see the truth will you be stunned at how much more powerful, more glorious, more loving, more almighty god is. i wouldn't have believed me either, a few years ago.

 

yet a person doesn't always have to be blinded by untruth, no matter how far in the mire they are. god is patiently waiting for you to make a better decision. whether you do will depend on how badly you want to, and on whether you realise that invisible bonds holding you down are infintely more powerful than chains of iron that tear into your flesh and make you desperate to escape them.

You just show us how people can manipulate the Scripture. I hope you pass that stage soon, and may God show you the way. what you are doing is not draw people close to God rather than draw people far from God.

When Jesus was crucified he asked God to forgive those who wronged him. If you can forgive your enemy, then you have good reason to happily wait for world end as you are truly God's child, wait, if you forgive your enemy, then you won't wish the world end come so soon, as you would wish use your love to save the lost ones as many as you can.

So many questions I still don't understand, but I'm sure this one God is Love

[pureinheart]

Wow....Love Hurts is not the one who is deceived here....

[Love Hurts]

Bluetuesday,

 

I read your post what can I say?

You say God is more than I could imagine.

But do you make Him less?

 

If He could create the universe, create this earth to have a Sun that gives us light and warmth. Earths moonlight to make the stars twinkle.

All the beauty of this world we overlook each day.

 

Moisture in the air, water to enjoy and swim in, oceans of magnificent beauty teaming with a world of life their own, beautiful skies with color changes put on a spectacular show, foliage, fruit growing on trees waiting to be plucked, redwood trees so huge we can tunnel and traffic through. From wild life to the human body I see God everywhere, He created everything, and if He could only just create the things I did mention; I do believe He is capable of preserving His word for us to read in our generation. That what ever the mistranslations and missing books may be… Praise Jesus He saw to it… we would learn of His saving grace and the truths we have are the ones we need to focus on.

 

That’s called faith. I have faith in God that He can do all things.

I do not believe His preserving the word for 2000 years… was in vein, instead its His perfect will accomplished.

You know Jesus IS God… yet the Bible has failed, because humans are fallible.

 

You say, “ When you see the truth will you be stunned at how much more powerful, more glorious, more loving, more almighty god is. i wouldn't have believed me either, a few years ago. “

 

Bluetuesday I do believe I reached (a portion of) depth/ height as you have on an opposite spectrum; I see the truth in His word. Without His word, I would not know God as I do.

 

And if He could only just create the things I did mention; I do believe He is capable of preserving His word for us to read in our generation. That what ever the mistranslations and missing books may be… Praise Jesus He saw to it… we would learn of His saving grace and the truths we have are the ones we need to focus on.

Bluetuesday I do believe I reached (a portion of) depth/height as you have on an opposite spectrum; I see the truth in His word. Without His word, I would not know God as I do.

 

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2

I see Heaven on earth, earth is His handy work. Yet He has prepared a place for me .. if it were not true He would not have told me so.

 

Revelation 21:

15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

 

The shape of the city is tetragonal 4 sq. in shape

The city is a perfect cube... Its length, width and height are equal...

Most believe- Twelve thousand furlongs constitutes 15,000 miles.

That would mean the:

Width is 15,000 miles.

The Length is 15,000 miles.

The Height is 15,000 miles.

 

If the city were placed over the United States its coverage would reach from:

The Northern Part of Main... to the Southern most point of Florida.

From the Eastern Sea Board... To Colorado....

And then it goes 15,000 miles upwards into space...

 

Space capacity with in is estimated...it could contain every person that has ever been born as well as additional Millions.

 

17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

A cubit is approx. 18 in. - The distance from the tip of the elbow, to the tip of the middle finger.

The wall of the city is 144 cubits. A cubit is about 18 inches, making this wall about 215 ft. high.

 

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones.

The first foundation to the twelfth:

Jasper

Sapphire

Chalcedony

Emerald

Sardonyx

Sardius

Chrysolite

Beryl

Topaz

Chrysoprasus

Jacinth

Amethyst

 

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

Each side of the four walls has three gates.... Each gate is made of one huge pearl.

 

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

With all this gold and precious gems...It’s no wonder thieves are not permitted

into Heaven.

 

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

 

1 Corinthians 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

 

Rev.21 9Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

 

God refers to the city as the Bride the Lambs wife.... because when we

think of a city we don’t think of the buildings we think of the people...some

cities have bad people so think of the city as bad, a bad city.

God refers to the Bride -as the Bride is righteous- A Righteous City.

 

Colossians 3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

 

My Father is a King. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords…

Praise Jesus it is so good to wonder what it will be like in Heaven.

So many questions I still don't understand, but I'm sure this one God is Love

 

 

I will stand corrected if I am wrong. I think you misunderstand me…

In is my error of His word due to my desire to go home and who is my unforgiven enemy?

My enemy I refer to is Satan. MATHEW 13:39... please know Satan is the enemy I refer to.

If you knew my heart, I want to go home because I love Jesus.

In this world are so many wonderful people; I enjoy people and my life on earth.

 

I have been blessed and do count my many blessings; God has been good to me and mine. Even still I have unanswered prayers as of today.

As I look at this life I am weary of it. I’m tired and cling to nothing of this world. Its all good and im ready to go. I have a love I want to be with. Part of me is on earth and part of me is with Jesus in all His glory with the saints before us in that glorious place, The New Holy Cityof Jerusalem.

 

Yet while the Lord tarries, I know He is gathering in His flock.

Every last soul that is ripe for the harvest will be gathered in to Him. I have His work to do.

I share His word with joy knowing I may be gaining a new sister or a brother in Christ.

That perhaps by my sharing His word today, perhaps one today.. might hear His truth and come home, or at least turn around in their steps and gain new focus on His truth.

I am not so different from other believers… I understand and we understand one another.

Its in the heart, it’s a yearning … I do believe it’s a greater yearning now than ever.

 

I hold up the torch in Jesus name and eagerly await the trump Home.

My intent is not to twist or change the word.

My intent is to share the word of Jesus to any that may be hungry for His truth and righteousness.

 

Heaven is Home and we’re just passing through this earthly existence.

The Apostle Paul believed it to be so and lived his life mindful of the fact: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain . I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body” (Php. 1:21-24). Elsewhere he says, “For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we . wish . to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life” (2 Cor. 5:4).

He understood what the Apostle John meant when he said, “He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 Jn. 5:12).

 

It’s a craving of the soul of the believer. It’s a hunger yet to be fulfilled,

to cross over and be with Jesus.

We today have even greater expectations, privy to live in these times. We look for the Rapture. That makes it all the more exciting, to think we are those written of in Rev.

Our generation, has the number of the beast 666, our generation has the promise of Rapture.

It’s a very special time to be alive in.

 

Yes God is love and He is tenderly calling you Home. Oh child of God… I hear you.

I can read your heart in this statement… [“as you would wish use your love to save the lost ones as many as you can. So many questions I still don't understand, but I'm sure this one God is Love”]

 

Yes Jesus is Love… great love; He died to prove His love. For us to show our Love for Him. We take a few steps towards Him in this direction:

1) A confession or agreement with God that we are a *sinner.

Romans 3:23

2) A request .asking .God to forgive us our sins.

Ephesians 2:4

3) An acceptance ..of Jesus as our Savior and asking Him to be the Lord of our life.

Acts 16:31

4) An acknowledgement that God raised Jesus from the dead. Romans 10:9

5) A request for help to live as Jesus wants us to live.

Romans 7:18

 

6) A close *thanking God for the gift of His Wonderful Son and His merciful gift of salvation.

 

Romans 6:17

Salvation is completely dependent upon faith in Christ and not at all dependent upon belonging to a man-made organization.

 

A Model Sinner's Prayer

 

"Dear God in heaven, I come before you in the name of Jesus. I confess that I am a sinner and ask you to forgive me and cleanse me from my sins. I receive Jesus as my Savior and ask Him to come into my heart. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and that You raised Him from the dead. I ask you to please help me to live as you want me to live. I thank you for the gift of your wonderful Son Jesus and Your merciful free gift of salvation. In Jesus' wonderful name. Amen."

 

An elaborate speech to get to the Lord...is not necessary...

It is not a mental ascent that reaches Him. Many fool themselves.

It is of the HEART...ascension of the HEART.. that reaches Jesus.

Praise Jesus He knows our hearts...

 

Jesus knows a mans heart...the thief on the cross said 9 (nine) words and Christ said today you shall be with me in Paradise

Luke 23:42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

 

BAM… {BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT... Praise Jesus

 

15:1-10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Halleluiah Joy in Heaven when one child repents and comes Home.

Praise Jesus…washed in His blood- Born Again, you belong to the Family of Christ.

 

Peter 1:23

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth …forever.

 

One step- at- time one day at a time in the Lord, till we (His) make our way Home.

I never imagined that G-d would be so into Bling, Bling. Never struck me as the petty, materialistic sort. Those always seemed to be the things we humans placed great value in. The great spiritual teacher, Christ, didn't seem too fond of those things either. As a matter of fact, G-d got pretty p*ssed off himself when he got a gander at that big Golden cow.

 

And how does one manage to keep all those cubics of gold from crashing down from the sky and squashing all of us flat???

 

Wow. This is really scary to me. Maybe it's time trade in that tin foil for a hard hat!

It wasn’t the gold… It was the golden calf that was being worshiped as a god before God.

Men choose many gods before God; ex. If one is worshiping money; its a god before God.

 

Keeping things in prospective… JOY is Jesus first. Others second, and self last.

That’s the JOY of the Lord.

 

Jesus wants us to be surrounded by beauty… Or it would have been written the first: man and womans story could have been centered on an Island of animal dung instead of the Garden of Eden.

They were in the Garden of Eden natures beauty surrounding them because God loved them.

 

Solomon did not ask God for riches instead he asked for wisdom… do you know what God gave him?

 

1 Kings 3:11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

 

12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

 

13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

 

Solomon did not ask for wealth... but for wisdom... God gave him a lot more than he ever imagined.

__________

What about Job? He was a wealthy man on earth… Satan can attest to that.

 

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, from going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

 

8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

 

10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

Satan accused Job of only loving God because God had blessed him so much on earth.

 

God wants you to prosper … 3 John 1:

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth

 

Matthew 25:14-30 “What have you done with what I have given you?”

Heaven and earth belong to God.

 

1 Corinthians 10:26

For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.

Who gave you diamonds, gold and every precious gem?

God is the creator of all things… from the beginning to ever more.

Greater than all these things He has created…

 

Luke 12:7

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

 

Jesus didn’t die on the cross for materialistic things. He did it for us … His children.

Of all things valued precious… we are the greatest of His creations. His value is in us.

 

Ecclesiastes 3:13

And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

 

James 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

 

This is the greatest gift of all…Ephesians 2:8

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God...

 

He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and in my opinion … if you like nice things… you could say you inherited it...from your Father who art in Heaven.

Okay, I misunderstood you. I read some of your posts, knew you had some hard times. by the way, we all do. but please remember "walking on water", if you have enough faith, nothing can hurt you as God is with you. God bring peace and joy into your heart no matter what happened. in order to climb the mountain you have to cross the valley.

I know you want to bring the gospel out eagerly. I was like you, I wanted to save my parents:p . so I urged them to read Bible everyday, didn't get good result out of it. they said I reminded them the "culture revolution":eek: if you know about it you know it was terrible thing. And one night I had a dream. that 3 little ugly green things who have people's figure were holding Bible try to shove it in, i felt terrible in that dream. when i woke up, I realized that what I was doing wasn't right. I have to have Love and patience to back it up no matter what I am trying to do. Well, everybody has their own ways to share good news, I cannot say who is right or wrong, but I know if you pray, talk to God, you will know it. May God bring peace and joy to you in the earth as well as in heaven

Another friend or actually work acquaintence...who I no longer see...believed that the world would end in 2000. She was burdened with illness, financial insecurity, and unhappy with her husband. She had big credit card debts, but she knew God would deliver her form them by ending the world.

 

As I said, I get the distinct impression that end-timers are people who hope the world will end, almost as much as they fear it.

 

She was going to be ready for the Y2K Crisis (I could never understand this double talk...knew the world would end, yet prepared for Y2K?). Her house was outfitted with propane and appliances. Her basement was stocked with dry foods for a few years. She had gallons of gas. She had rifles and ammunition, and her house was reinforced...to ward off the looters. As you know, Y2K did not happen. I am willing to guess that she is still paying off those debts.

 

It was her second chance. But even though it didn't happen, she still did get a second chance after all, as you mentioned, by leaving her husband and her religion. If this is what Christianity meant to her, predictions and doom and death, then I can't say she is all that worse off. She must have been in a truly terrible situation to begin with, and I would be the last to blame her for that desire to start over.

[As I said, I get the distinct impression that end-timers are people who hope the world will end, almost as much as they fear it.]

 

 

CarolAnne,

 

True believers do not panic, at the thought of Rapture. They rejoice. Its about the other half of our hearts meeting up with Christ to make us whole (in my words of endearment).

 

We all have the issues of life to deal with, believers and nonbelievers the same…no exception; we all alike must go through trial and tribulations of our own. Its what we all do, we grow through the hardships as well as good times.

 

Believers learn to trust in Jesus; He who is ever faithful. In our weakness we strengthen one another. In our joy we rejoice together; its brotherly love through Christ.

 

We live life to the fullest each day given us and have security in where we will spend eternity. No doubts, its faith.

 

As Jesus was the promise child fulfilled in Bethlehem. Jesus is the promise fulfilled in the last days. It’s a celebration. Like we celebrate Christmas.

 

Christ is a promise coming soon...Praise Jesus!

[Love Hurts]

May God bring peace and joy to you in the earth as well as in heaven.]

 

Lonelybird, I claim that blessing in my life Lonelybird, and Praise Jesus for it.

I know you have a heart for the Lord I can hear you child of God. Praise Jesus.

 

Are you familiar with the parable of the sower of the seed?

This parable is of the word of God. Told to many people and the parable of how the word of God lands upon hearts of men.

 

So the seed in the parable is not a seed of a plant or a flower, but the word of God that is develop in the hearts and minds of men.

Read the parable and think of it as Gods word… to know the true meaning the parable:

 

Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

 

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

 

Lonelybird see what happened in the parable to the word of God?

All to any of us can and are representatives of; the seed fall {of the word of Christ.

 

Explained as to how the word; lands and touches the minds and hearts of men is in the parable.

Under the title of religion in LS; if I post the word of Christ it may be permissible but that does not mean its acceptable. Do you hear me?

If one feels force-feed on it… why do they eat?

Freedom of choice in not to eat is a click away.

I have come to realize those in the word are in the word for understanding of it.

 

Why should I babble in my own words when someone is seeking the word of God?

Understanding does not mean acceptance of it. On the contrary it could be an understanding of what one may choose to reject; with good reason is a great prospect also.

 

A little word for myself if I may; as I am one member, one voice in the body of Christ; read these few scriptures in support of my place:

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.- 1 Corinthians 12:12

As believers we are diverse people all unique to God in this world. Yet we are one in the body of Christ.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 1 Corinthians 12:27

In the body of Christ; some of us are the eyes, some the hands, some the ears, some the legs, some the voice, some the heart, some the feet.

As a body is; so is the body of Christ made up of all of us.. around the world.. followers Jesus.

 

What is unique about the members of the body of Christ? Each of us can reach different people in a different way.

I have a reach on some that others could never. I also will loose some that others will reach.

Question: If ten people speak the same identical word of God...say 100 people are to pick and choose whom they will hear best from the ten that deliver the word.

 

Chances are not all 100 will be with one.

Greater chances are; each of the 10 that deliver the word will have a percentage of the 100 that seek to hear.

See what is in the mix of deliverance of the word, is personality mingled in deliverance of the word.

 

We are all unique individuals in the Lord. Who you are is someone God created you to be. We are not to try to change our personality. We are to change our wrongs to rights.

 

Personality is not a right or wrong it’s a gift.

All of us unique have a way of presenting the word of Christ.

I might go through nine teachers of the word… before my spirit feels right or content. To learn from the one I have chosen to feel a connection with. Only then is it good with my soul as well as my mind. We are all the same.

 

We pick and choose who and what works for us in all things including especially the study of the word of God.

Consolation to any soul that does witness in the Lord… leave it up to the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts and minds of men. Amen

 

We never know if we have planted a seed of the word.

Another may provide nutrient soil.

Another may provide water.

Another may provide sunlight.

Another may clean out the weeds from the roots.

Add more water and sunlight and care and then:

Another may be the harvester of the plant grown (salvation). Praise Jesus

 

In the body of Christ we are never alone.

We are diverse and everywhere. Believers have an ear… to hear. We know one another by the words we choose. True love of Christ comes out in words and can be seen. Many are ready and do thirst after righteous in Jesus namesake. Many want to hear the word and understand what Jesus had to say.

 

Tell His word as it is written. Let the Holy Spirit do the rest.

God Bless you Lonelybird, as we live and grow in the Lord each day. Lift your torch and light the way to Jesus. Someone needs to hear His word today, from a uniquely special one and only person… you.

I pray that any, and all people who read these posts won't just dismiss them as fanatics, or religious redirick, instead, take a very close look at ALL the information for yourself, because NOBODY'S gonna do it for you. This goes for even all the confessed athiests out there, If these things were to happen, mentioned in Revelation, wouldn't you want to know ahead of time to take care of yourself and your loved ones? Don't you think YOU are worth it, do you think your loved ones are worth it? We're not talking about something temporary here, we're talking about Eternity. If everyone is so much into their own self, how to cover their backsides, then they should be thinking about possible repercussions toward themselves (like I said, covering the Booty). MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW FOR SURE, NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO MAKE AN ETERNAL MISTAKE, and be separated from Almighty God. If you're not sure where to start, you can look at Gods Eternal time clock, Israel. As well as the Bible.

Last night I just could not take it anymore and got angry, really angry....both my daughter and me have people stalking us....phones, internet....my nerves are shot....so many other things also....in need of good things ....so much negativity in my life right now....

[Love Hurts]

Pureinheart,

 

I’m sorry you are going through this… keep your faith and trust in Lord in all things… and recall… the most difficult time for us to say Praise Jesus.. is when we are going through trial and trouble.

Yet its especially now when we need to praise Jesus through good and bad.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

 

When we Praise Jesus we speak to the unseen spiritual realm and cause Demons to flee.

 

Psalm 18:48

He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

Lord Jesus We uplift Pureinheart in prayer. She is under attack of the enemy.

Remove the devourer from her path and that of her daughters. Let no weapon of the enemies prevail against them in Jesus Name.

We Praise you Jesus for being ahead of our adversaries and watching over us in all things. We Thank you Jesus that Pureinheart and her daughter are in your very capable hands. Amen

 

Praise Jesus for hearing and answering our prayers.

Sending love your way… Pureinheart.

God Bless and keep you and yours.

[Sup]

People stalking you, if you don't mind me asking, Why?

[pureinheart]

People stalking you, if you don't mind me asking, Why?

 

My daughter and I let the wrong people into our lives...hers is her soon to be exhusband, and mine is an ex-emotional attachment....both of these families are in a harrassing mode....they are very long stories.

 

I would caution anyone to be careful of who you let into your lives, many people are not right in the head, and what can seem so innocent and so right could be the nighmare from hell.

 

If God be for us, who can be aganst us?

 

Thank you so much Love Hurts....Psalms 91 and 92....2nd Chronicles 20: 1-20....Psalms 37....we stand on these things because Jesus died for us!!!!!

Amen Pureinheart,

That’s the spirit. Lets add, The Whole Armor of God {Ephesians 6: 10- 24

 

Suit in the armor of God... do not live in fear.

Practice good judgment and leave the rest to Christ.

Right..We getting to something … can be easy.

 

Getting out is the difficult part.

We often have the internal or exterior scars to prove we have been there.

Time... Time... Time...
