Thanks asaph, words of encouragement much needed in my world at this point, being attacked in every facet of life by the nasty dark world. leavin it up to the Almighty. Small world, huh, brother love?  :DI don't even know if I totally agree with doctrine now in that book, but, I sure agree with the gospel, the only thing that matters in this world, and look how it brought unity once again!
See ya guys.

ummm, I know Joy, I share your somberness, I am extremely mournful over the lost.  I actually have a poster up-raw- on my livingroom wall to remind my girls and me of the persectuted in the world, and to be thankful for our salvation and God's provision. It's a poster of the persecuted and map of the world with athiest countries highlighted.  I just thought we should also joy in the Lord and look forward to His day in Glory.  I have read that this should be our motivation.  So, I was proclaiming that excitement among bretheren, kind of grabbing onto some kind of joy once in a while with the body of Christ.
Just sharing the joy  on living in the Lord so He can shine through us because our testimony will reach others by this.  I'm sure you understand this by just reading your compassion also for others.  Thanks!  Missy

Saved from drugs, purple mesc, acid, downers, pot, anthing and everything I could take.  Reading "Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth", with the book ending up on my chest as I folded my hands and prayed to God.  After many bible studies that I hated, I then understood.  I got to like the fun, but the belief was not evident until I read that book.  A heavy thing lifted off me as I layed in my bed, and decided to open my eyes before anything else might happen.  That was enough.
 
Married, married, and married again.  Of course the first two were short lived, yet four children out of it all. The last marriage was the best, as far as close fellowship with God.  The most horrible thing happened that no mother or wife would ever want to happen.  Sorry, unmentionable, but none the less, you wouldn't want to hear it.  I prayed for unification of the family, and God worked mightedly.  It was as though to say, here's your chance to come to me this time in order for my glory to shine.  It did.  No matter what, there was spiritual hearing that helped me to deal with problems from this incident, conversations in other rooms.  I would find things, and also there were christian shows on that were exactly the subject matter.  

I had given up teaching Sunday school.  My class was huge, I was asked to pray about it, and I was sure by the movement within my heart, my family came first. Besides, all my kids got saved in it anyway. All my children and husband were saved also.  That's the wonder of it all.  I learned that I needed to continue to ask God to keep me close to Him, and I began thanking God for the trials, and giving Him glory before He even showed His work with them. I never mistrusted His love for us anyway, nor His movement in my life.  The family was a mess, and there was a lot that suffered for four years after that.

Ultimately, I was buying a five acre lot with two homes, and many out houses for numerous purposes, and a stable. It was old, small scale, but cool. All had left the roost except the youngest daughter, and before we had moved my husband began doing drugs.  I guess the temptation after he had much guilt was the ticket for escape.  Alas, he went down the tubes, no reaching, finding every excuse there was to stay away and hate anything to do with God.  Needless to say, I left that land and those homes, something we both dreamed of and thought we would never have.  And it was all in my name.  I had a choice, God layed it right before me.  But there was another choice.  Leave because my husband was dangerous, destroyed every bit of family, and my car, and what business I had left.

Riding on a bus, knowing eventually, I would lose all memories for the third time, with only $33.00 in my pocket, all I knew was that God provided the way for my daughter and I.  Selling what was left that my husband didn't sell, putting stuff in storage, and on property of neighbors in the hot hot heat in Florida, I was exhausted and down to 95 pounds, knowing that most of the food needed to go to my daughter on this three day trip.  

Arriving at my daughters, that was horrible.  They had to leave, and it didn't work out good after waiting all this time to see her, the second daughter was horrible to us, yelling, "Look where your God got you now",( obviously fallen away from the Lord ), as I left to a neighbors to get on my feet because it was horrible at her dark home.  God had blessed us with a christian family that treated us like their own.  I found a house, they gave me a van, and I had been working a good paying job.  Yes, look where God got me.
On top of all this I am physically affected by many things that I know will stay with me, yet some will soon be helped.  

My life has consisted of much more than this.  I can talk of being a victim ofcriminal offences as though Satan said here's some big ones on and on in my life . One professional told me that he would never have been able to live what I lived through and kept his life, and he was a christian.  It's alright though, it didn't bother me.  I just kept going with knowing I was saved, and God was there no matter what.  
 "In Him all things are possible"
I gave this testimony of not only initial spiritual salvation, but also soul salvation, because that's what it's all about for others to relate.  Everybody wants a good thing to happen, it takes a lifetime to accept a challenge instead of thinking it's a bad thing that's happening.  I just hope that if there's anybody out there that needs some questions answered to feel free to ask on this site.  It's only the world, and God can handle it all for us.  We are all in it together, and He loves us all.  Things just don't happen, they really do have a purpose.
Love, Peace, Joy, In Christ....Missy

It seems that you have stopped and smelled the roses too.  What a wonderful work in your life!  I thank God for your words and I think most can be blessed by your encouragment.  It seems like no matter how deep God takes me, I am forever going on and on and on.  This really helped me to focus again.  I've been thinking it, and I've been focusing, maybe this is a little support from the Lord like, stay with me, remember all you've been through too, I am still with you.  

God bless you, and thanks for sharing.  

what is I am a llama mean in here?  

Introducing me Hey!
A mom, have lived a full life full of challenges, always looking to God for his will.  Very common, basic person, but love humor.  See things as how they are, and watch to see if they are anymore than what I see.
Yes, I am a believer that Jesus is God's son, and believe that even that faith was given to me, I had the choice to accept or reject.  And I don't believe that repenting saves you, you can't repent-first it's a work, or baptizing would save you; secondly-how can one truley repent before he is saved?
I really love christian fellowship, and have enjoyed reading all the remarks and people's say so in here.  Really am just a hippie at heart with Jesus in it, and hope I stirred something up for a discussion with repentance ha! not really.  It's just what I found out of the scriptures.  Seee ya

yea, but ain't it cool to watch it all go down? You guys are right, it's been happening .. over 2,000 years now.  But, we are seeing the end of it all.  All things are lined up.  I don't have a scripture handy that I would like to share about the anti-christ and what nationality the nasty thing is suppose to be, but, I'll get it tonight and send it tomorrow.  It was plain as day.  Think about the false peace treaty.  It isn't happening yet.  But.... it's after the rapture.  Hmmm, ....
does that mean it's soon.  What about people, false movements in what people believe, have you noticed and huge movement in christians that might be a false movement? I have.  Are people setting up other people ( to fall for the anti-christ playing God), with miracles that aren't suppose to happen until after the rapture?  I don't know.  There are so many things to consider, but why?  I still say Praise God for his power because it's taking a lot of it to keep my mind with him.  Heart's there, but the buziness is there around us all. Still say, don't worry, be happy, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.  

Geeeez Symphony, it's any day, that's why you feel the ugency of knowing.  It doesn't really matter when.  When the Lord comes, it will only matter personally when the Lord says, as in Matthew within the parable of the ten virgins, that He knew you.  Your life walk,( getting rid of soul and giving your whole life to the Lord Jesus), will be a testimony for others.  Peace is the result of this, and others will see it, therefore, you will be busy sharing with others your forutnate escape from fear, confusion, and petty concerns the unsaved has to deal with without the Lord because you are a believe in Him.
Don't you ever notice how others just know?  They don't even know they know at times what it is they know, they just are unconscienciously aware and take notice.  Watch for this,it's really cool to notice.  I am one not to even be suspected, until they say something that I can unoticibly slide something in about my belief founded in that subject, and how it saves me from any problem about it.  Byee.

Answer this soon Brother Christman.  I noticed you said individually answer, but really the only way to react, if there is an inkling of conscience left in chritians, is to work as the body of Christ, not go off onto who's spelling what wrong, or taking offense just because they are a teacher.  These answers did not conform to the cry of a brethern, nor the movement of the Lord.  
To work in the body of Christ on this, as I view the situation, is to e-mail the article you inserted from Chritianity.com, or fax it to all churches for the congregation to read.  The only massive volume that could produce an effective reaction in contacting their representative of their state.  Is this in violation of anything.  I am a mover on the necessary.  Of course, many believe this is the end times, yet, if we froze, then what is there to account for.  It could buy time down the road for a lost person to be saved during the very end time, right before the rapture.  
I know where you are coming from, and I pray that God will bless you for your obedience.  Whether there is one out of five, there will be an answer, maybe this is it.  I hope the rest wake up out there and get off their personage, and get in touch with God on His will in this matter for not only theirselves but others, if they feel moved.  I don't believe you were calling for a critic on your report.  After all, if they are reading these messages, maybe the Lord had better intentions, like for them to move on them.  I think it petty to disregard an extreme cry out for giving the Lord glory for this awakening in such a pertinent matter.  It is so easy to be offended, yet easier to focus on the Lord's movement when we are always looking to Him.  

So mr Christianman, reply and tell me if it is legal or not for me to mail this article and information to churches.  I know this is something that at least I can attempt to move on, and feel it's necessary.

Hi, new here teddybear, and you hit it right on for these days!
I love to ask God for spiritual hearing,sight, and wisdom.  He tells us to pray for our needs and wisdom, and you wouldn't believe what He's exposed to me when I pray this.  I never doubt God's guidance.  I know how Satan attacks to break down God's children.  I feel there should be a great uniting in the fellowship with God in perpetual prayer in these days, and it should be spread throughout the body of Christ.  There should be no fear, but looking to the will of God and the glorious Day of the Lord in all Christians now; that's where I see the power of the Lord in our lives.  I know God tells us to look towards the Day of the Lord, this is the motivator of our faith.  Hope, peace.  Glad to read your comments.  God Bless.

Hi there people!  New here.  Not to say we all don't have a place here that God is using us, but, I have found that when we are to look past Satan's works and focus on walking in love,(understanding with the wisdom already given through our Lord, Jesus Christ, and compassion), I think we could reach many a person that comes our way.  This is a personal realization constantly with me because on a daily basis there is a tremendous amount of distracting noises such a war, gay issues, rights for christian fellowship in the public.  I think what we are around is where God wants us if we are standing still for his will and just trust his guidance without our efforts. I found just knowing in the morning He's there, and living the day without a worry, or stressful plan works to his will.  It's awesome to live by complete trust.  Don't ya think faith is the beginning and ending of our living God's will?  All other things are fruitless?
