Well, I love to sit and think about my heavenly home. What I envision is sitting under a huge tree, I am thinking of maybe the tree of life because it sets alone on a hill overlooking lushes valleys. I am sitting under this tree just talking with Jesus. He lays in the grass with His head proped up on his elbow. I am just talking a mile a minute because I am so thankful to have His complete and interested attention. He is in no hurry for me to just spit it out. He hangs on my every word and the more I talk the more Love He allows me to feel.

There sure is enough happening in Iran and Russia! Hal Lindsey was on this subject of the EMP from the start. They say if one were exploded, it would take the U.S. or parts of the U.S. back to the early 1800's. Imagine, in a society that gets impatient with a 15 minute blackout, what that would be like. Sometimes I think it would be enjoyable, no annoying cell phones etc., slower pace of life that’s for sure. But I sure would miss the folks on this board! We would surely find out what were made of that’s for sure! No vehicles running- (it would fry the computer chips), or airplanes. Gee's the list goes on. Horses and bikes would be highly valuable. I always pick up extra packets of vegetable seeds, just in case I may have to plant a vegy garden. We should not be so naive as to think this couldn’t happen. As Bibi Netanyahu states, the enemies of Israel refer to the Israel as the "little satan", and the U.S. as the "big satan". If they want to wipe Israel "little satan" off the map, how much more do they want to take out "big satan" the U.S.

I agree that things can focus demons' attention to you. My family was under spiritual attack, and my parents and I prayed through the whole house .... I won't go into great detail, but afterwards, I sat my kids down and talked about praying for spiritual protection, and evil.

Well, doesn't DD11 say that she doesn't like DS7's Yugioh cards? DS7 starts crying, then stops, and says, "Yeah, let's get rid of them!" So we gather them up, rip them into little pieces, and burn them in the outside fire pit. DD said a prayer, proving she knows who to put on the full armor of God!

(In a thread discussing a poster’s non-believing brother and his children, someone responds—)

When your brother's children are playing with your children, turn on one of the original veggie tales videos (I love the one about Nezzar's chocolate bunny factory - I think it's called Rach, Shach, and Benny but I'm not sure...I still have the Bunny song in my head and I love the one about the Ducky). Start teaching his children subtley so that you plant the seed without making it so big that your brother can crush it. That way, it has time to grow and be nurtured.

While this may seem a bit sneaky, you are fighting an enemy who would resort to much worse.

My foot is not hurting and I claim the healing.

About 2-3 months ago I stepped on a Sweetgum ball, and it rolled under my foot toward the back and I had a painful senstion in my heel. About two weeks later I did the same thing again and I almost fainted that time because of the pain. I went to the dr. and he said it was a bone bruise and not much could be done, stay off of it and soak it in epson salt and use a gel cusion shoe insert. He said one week it would be better that was 4 weeks ago and i was still limping on it. I take care of my grandson while my dd and her husband works. He will be 3 in August and there is no way I could stay off of it.

I Have been praying about the pain and this morning i got out of bed and it barely hurt and a few minutes ago grandson and I went out to feed the cats and I realized I was walking without any pain. I began praising God for the healing and when I got through I noticed grandson was just standing there respectful and hands clasped, and then he said "A-men" I know he did not know what was being said or why but in my mind i thought "train a child in the way he should go."

I'm sad, close friend rejects Truth

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, after four years, I finally had the opportunity to pour my heart out about the gospel to a very close friend today. I spent all morning writing a personal letter, and leading up to this I was praying for the right oppotunity to do so. Here was the reponse I got back.

Quote:
"I didn’t think it was insensitive, I just didn’t want to talk about it. While I know you have my best interest at heart, I don’t want to talk about my faith, or lack thereof, right now and I ask you to respect that."

That was the entire reponse, and I wrote for hours ( I was thinking as I wrote so It wasn't an hours long letters, but It took me a couple hours to put it all together). Well, Jesus knows I did my best, and I realize it's usually seed planting, but I am soooo sad, because I love my friend so much. Honestly, I think he thinks I'm nuts and tolerates me b/c he knows I am a nice person who genuinely cares. I've always been very respectful and never pushy, but of course I stayed completely within the gospel today and personalized it and didn't water it down at all. He just lost his grandmother and father in the last couple of weeks so please keep my friend in prayer. I sent him a bible last month, and I did have an oppotunity to refer him to some passages in it in my letter. Maybe he will read them someday. I've lost ALL my unsaved friends over Jesus, and it's all worth it.

The point is this: God doesn't need the RCC, the RCC needs God. Just because it was the first doesn't mean its especially blessed by God. The heresies of purgatory, praying to saints, the deification of Mary, and other abominations, have turned the catholic church into a satanic mockery of what it should have been. Christians have no obligation to revere or accept authority from the RCC. Sure it may have been first, but it also left God long ago.

I'm a former catholic. When I witness to catholics, I treat them like I would a cult member.

Someplace were comments can be left for an article (not this one - might have been YouTube) there was an argument between Christians and non-Christians going on. Amazing how the non-Christians were saying, "Well, God is love, and because He's love He CAN'T send anyone to hell!"

They're worshipping one of God's attributes, and ignoring others, such as holiness and justice.

They're in for a really rude awakening! (nodding smilie)

HisAlways #fundie rr-bb.com

I feel Satan is throwing darts about everything in every direction. Even doubts come to me about the rapture. Like...are we dillusional? Have we missed something, that we are misinterpreting His word? Do we have it wrong, due to our limited human conscience? I know these are darts, because God is infallable. But if we have it wrong, then maybe He isn't coming for us, because it just seems so awesome of a thought that He will physically and literally take us out of this "mess" that has become the US, and the world. These are thought darts that run through my mind. WHY is He taking so long?

Sometimes, I feel that I cannot bear the thoughts of what our country has become. I see us leaning toward electing a man like Obama, and I just cannot fathom that we have gotten to this point.

Freemasons do not try to fool us, they do what they do in the open - you are considered by them too "vulgar" or too stupid to know better. Their idols are everywhere and you probably consider them patriotic monuments. For example, you, like many Americans, probably feel proud of your country and what it stands for when you see the Statue of Liberty and you believe what your teachers told you about it's origins - but this idol to the Sun god of the Masons, Lucifer in the image of Helios and the Mother Goddess Venus (or whatever historical name you want to call her by: Isis, Diana, Victoria, Columbia) is in the open and unrecognized by your untrained eyes. Even the plaque at it's base gives it's real origin away.

Well, I want to sue the homosexuals for completely grossing me out! Being subjected to their gay pride parades, men kissing men before exchanging nuptials, when they're broadcast on national news stations causes me mental pain and suffering, and I end up with nauseating images in my mind that can't be erased. I want to sue any and all organizations that support homosexuality, as well as the individual homosexuals themselves!

The prophets spoke the Words of God, and as such each word was lovingly written down.
No new books have been added to the Bible. And any self proclaimed prophet you see on TV are false prophets, all have failed the Biblical Test of the Prophet: 100% accuracy!

That means no prophet has trod the earth since John the apostle died on Patmos.

You have a lot of faith in the "electorate". When I ask people why they are voting for Obama - they always respond with emotion! Obama makes them feel good, Obama is a great speaker (with a teleprompter), Obama is going to make a change, etc, etc. These people dont care what will be said in the debates - Obama is their "messiah". They fanatically follow him - and he is an empty suite.

I fear that the majority of the voters are taken in by his salesmanship and do not understand his lack of substance.

I have no doubt that those who control financing of movies make sure that the Lord's name is used in vain. Call me paranoid but I honestly think they withhold financing for a movie until a certain amount of defamation of God get's put into the script. Have you ever watched a great movie and all of a sudden there it is, somebody mutters it. It seems so out of place. It is very calculating and very intentional.

Jubilee on Earth #fundie rr-bb.com

Our pastor made it clear from the beginning that he is all about Jesus, and that everything he teaches is from the Bible. It's nice, because we're a "semi-mega church" -- many mega churches take on the Joel Osteen model of acceptance and prosperity. Ours does not. We've got a great band and lots of programs, but the center of our church universe is Christ.

I think that the general perception around our country is that if you believe in End Times and talk about Biblical prophecies pertaining to the Rapture or Trib, people think you're a nut job. It's so sad.

I also think that the Rapture and Trib force people to listen/know that it's all about choosing sides -- you're either with Jesus or you aren't. The bulk of our population is that "universalist" mentality -- everyone is saved. So by bringing up the End Times and Rapture, you're contradicting their peaceful, happy, all-accepting doctrine of faith.

I'll pray for them all...

If a woman is pastor, I do not go to that church. I also steer clear of "co-pastored" churches. At the churches I have attended, Pastor's wife sometimes plays piano, keeps nursery, or sits near front with her family. She never gets up to speak in services (only praise reports when prompted and the like).

(About that "I Kissed a Girl" song)

I asked my 12 year old sister in law about this song after reading this thread and if she had heard it. She said yeah and that it was the number 1 song right now. She then proceeded to tell me that it was just about being gay and it was no big deal, that the singer is "just gay and likes girls instead." I nearly had a wreck (we were driving). I told her no, that being gay is wrong, and that just because it is so widely accepted it does not make it OK. She looked at me like I was weird and then said, oh, ok..
Wow.

While i was walking with my wife in town, i noticed a guy wearing a "i love Jesus" shirt. Deep within my heart i praised God, but after i approached him. I coulnt believe my ears. He was swearing and intentionally "pretending" to stir a fight with his friend. His volgar language was so discusting. I gave him a pitty look as i walked by him. He stopped for a little bit while he was looking at me, but as soon as we broke eye contact, he started swearing again.

Why would someone do that? If you dont love God and dont want any part of him, fine just live your life, but why intentionally try to make us christians look bad.
I am so discusted with this world.
I can't wait until our Lord will take us out of here.
We are definetly living in the last days.

There are two seemingly wonderful, non-denominational, biblically sound churches in my area. Problem is, the pastor of both churches have designated their wife co-pastor. I know this isn't biblical, but it's frustrating because it's hard to find conservative non-denominatioal churches around here. The wives are co-pastors, but I rarely see them leading the congregation during services that come on the local tv station. Would it be okay to test the two churches out or should I steer clear altogether?

It says in 1 Timothy 2, "Let the women keep silent in the churches," and what it is talking about is the order of the church. In fact, 1 Timothy, is written to give order to the church. When the church comes together in its formal time, when a church comes together to break bread, when a church comes together to be taught the Word of God, it is not the woman’s place to stand up and take authority in the church, but when individual Christians sit together to share around the Word of God, that is a marvelous opportunity for women to participate. In fact, the Psalmist said, "A great host are the women who publish the good news." And, so, we encourage women to share their insights in the Word of God, to be a part of the fellowship of a Bible study, the discussion of a Bible study. That is a very important thing, but when it comes to the church and its worship and order, there is no place for a woman to take the authority to teach in the church. That is not her God-given role.

I think we may be very close. My heart cries harder and harder for Christ to have me and for Justice to serve. I have seen firsthand some supernatural events that make me think we are very close right at the door even.

1.In December 06 I say a huge flash of blue light in the sky in the dark of morning on the way to work and thought it was a nuclear attack but I was told Blue is the color of GOD and may have been a sign of Heaven trying to awaken my spirit at the time.
2.I have been attacked frequantly by demons from my past life of self and it carries into my life with Christ but less frequent and less powerful. alot of spiritual activity going on these days. There have been more sightings in 2007 for UFOs than ever recorded which I believe UFOs are the Devils work manifest.
3. I have seen scripture on my wall at home(isaiah 10) and GOD has revealed which part of Isaiah and gave me 2 other scriptures on my baptism night Isaiah 10:16-24 Psalm 32, Psalm 49:15

We are in some seriously trying times where people have abandoned Love for Lust and Care for Hatred Service for God to Service for self....

That is exactly how I like to look at it. A dear friend of mine died at the age of 30 about a year ago from cancer. When she was so sick, I told her to "get the appetizers ready cause I'll be right there!" I never really cried after her passing because she was looking so forward to it. I only pray that if the Lord should tarry, I can be as positive about my death as she was.

Has anyone else noticed that the end times beliefs of the other religions are also very similar to Christianity, only they seem to be from the other side of things, ie Satan's point of view. I saw some stuff about what the followers of Mohammed believe and it sounds very much like what we believe, only slightly different so as to make them ripe for deception when the Antichrist comes on the scene.

My jaw dropped when I read that the "Mahdi," the so-called redeemer that the Mohammedians are waiting for, will supposedly stay on the Earth for 7 years before the "Yaum al-Qiyamah," or Day of the Resurrection. {doh! smiley}

Sounds very similar to what will REALLY happen, when the Tribulation will happen as the Antichrist deceives for 7 years before our Lord Jesus comes .back to begin the Millenium.

Well, unfortunately for me, my priest is a little too...how do I put it..."nice" to his congregation. He kind of preaches an "everyone will be saved" type of message, and I didn't realize this until recently. He has never mentioned the Rapture or hinted at it in any way, but when I asked him if he'd ever heard of the Rapture, his face darkened and he told me it was a bunch of foolish nonsense made up by people who want to scare people into believing in Christ...it concerned me and made me realize that I need to switch churches. I'm going off to college in the Fall, so hopefully the congregation there will be more receptive to End Times discussion.
