***edited because forgot to add the subject***

Mindy, where two or more are gathered to pray.. we can feel HIS presence!! Bless your heart.. AMEN

I just prayed that prayer with you,Radiant..Amen

Thank you RamblinMan to reflect upon that Freedom we have here. To HIM be the Glory each day in every way!!

Dear Lord, in the Light of Your Light and our Freedom to worship and honor you on these boards, Lord I especcially lift up tonight ALL Christians arround the world who are persecuted simply for being a Christian and to choose to worship, honor and praise You!!

Lord, I lift up before you our brothers and sisters from North Korea, China, Peru, Iraq, Israel, Palestina, Middle East, Saoedi Arabia, Indonesia..

Christmas is approaching quickly now and also these brothers and sisters should be Free to celebrate Christmas in their 'church'... Sometimes its just a hidden room, to protect themselves from bombattacks.. I read a few days ago that Christians in Iraq cannOt go to church this Christmas, because their church has been attacked.. I pray they will be able to find a place where they indeed will be able to worship Thee - and if they are still in danger, Lord, I pray you keep them under your wings and keep them safe! Lord, You are an Awesome God.. The Alpha and Omega, Lord of the beginning and the end... with You everything is possible.. And I lift my arms to You.. to surrender, surrender this situation, Lord.. we are Yours and in You we are FREE!!

Thank You so much, Lord for what You did for us on the Cross! You died for us and You washed us clean from sin... The old has begun new - each day in worship we lift up the world to be healed and to be loved by You!

Thats what I ask in Your son's precious name - AMEN

Amen Sister! That was a beautiful and eloquent Prayer. Again I have to Thank the Good Lord for leading me to BK where I found this board as well as the many Fellowships here that allow us to Pray and Praise Him openly and freely.

Give Glory to God

Concentrate on Me.
Give Me your full attention.
I yearn to be in you completely.
But first, you need to abide in Me.
You need to learn how to give yourself
to what I alone can give you.
There is so much waiting for you!
I ask for that abiding
so that we may both be one,
so that you can walk in My ways,
to have My mind in you,
to have My compassion,
My care for others, My love.
Then will My power flow through you,
power to do My works,
to join with other kindred spirits,
giving My body form.
Then those greater works
I've promised, you will have
to give glory to God.

AMEN, Mindy!! Hallelujah :-)

Thank you Lord for this wonderful prayer sister!! Bless her heart :-)

I pray for peace.
Peace that passes all understanding.
Peace that fills every corner of your home,
Ever corner of your heart,
Every corner of your life.
I pray for comfort.
Comfort that comes through the assurance
Of God’s great love for you.
No matter what, no matter when, no matter why
No matter what you have done or will do,
His love will always be there.
A love so powerful that
He gave up his heavenly rights and position of power
To become utterly vulnerable and totally dependent
So that He would be able to say without a doubt
That he understands fully what it means
To not be able to meet all his needs through his own works.
I pray for the gift of earthly hands, feet and voices that bring
Tangible evidence to you of that great Love in practical ways.
I pray for the grace for you to see your world
Through Christ’s eyes,
So you can see the gifts he pours out daily as a celebration of
His great love for you.

good one! 0:-)

This email was sent to me by mail... Its sooooo GO(O)D ;-)


Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering. Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They moused.

They faxed.

They e-mailed.

They e-mailed with attachments.

They downloaded.

They did spreadsheets.

They wrote reports.

They created labels and cards.

They created charts and graphs.

They did some genealogy reports.

They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed.

Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers Satan started searching frantically, screaming:

"It's gone! It's all GONE!

"I lost everything when the power went out!"

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.
Satan observed this and became irate.

"Wait!" he screamed.

"That's not fair!

He cheated!

How come he has all his work and I don't have any?"
God just shrugged and said, "Jesus saves."

this what i received today from her in the mail:

I went to the Dr this afternoon for a problem that I have been having with bleeding for about 3/4 weeks. He said there is a tissue where there
should not be and i have to go next week for some test. If God does not heal this, I probably
will have to have surgery maybe, not sure because of the situation with my heart. So, I
would appreciate your prayers. I know God can work miracles, he has for me and my family in the past and he can do it now also.

Gods Blessings and have a wonderful day.

I hope you all can pray for my dearest sister in Christ. God bless you all,

~*Radiant*~

Hallelujah! Praise His Name forever and ever, AMEN

thank you ;-)

Let us all say a prayer,for the families of Hannelores friends who have moved on recently.

Barb you are in my prayers as well. God will take care of you. He will never leave nor forsake you.
Love Ya

Impossible without the inner strength of the HS. That is my guess. We can only strive to be like HIM, which should be each Chritian's ultimate goal. It's a good question. I'd say the real answer is "It's impossible." But with God all things are possible. But only through HIM.

how hard would it be to truley be a devote christian,and walk the path that Jesus walked?
may the good Lord save us from religeous thieves and liars who use religion as a shield.

Please accept mine as well and know that you are in our thoughts.

Take care, cause we care :)

our thoughts and well wishes are with you during your time of sorrow.

Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and prayers. God has been so good to me and know with all the prayers from U all and my church things will go well. God Bless U all.
BARB

I pray that only good will come.. :)

An Irish Prayer for Barb..

May God grant you always
A sunbeam to warm you
A moonbeam to charm you
A sheltering Angel
So nothing can harm you
Laughter to cheer you
Faithful friends near you
And whenever you pray
Heaven to hear you.

I keep you in my thoughts and prayers Barb!(((Patty)))

By all means Barb, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. May you get a good report on Friday and God Bless You!!

Oh AD... Hon.. I certainly will dear.. you take it easy and please keep us posted on this..

So sorry to hear of your problems and I will surely be praying for you. God Bless!!!

On Thursday I went into the doctors for chest pains that I thought were related to my cold. They put me in the hospital right away and today I had an angiogram. Apparently I have some blockage and was a candidate for a heart attack. YIPES. And to think I was going to wait another week. But as it was, I could hardly do anyting without pain. Am very sore right now but many have prayed for me and all went well with the procedure. My wife was with me all the time and my daugter was there all day. I'm home now and in a bit of pain but glad to have caught this problem ahead of time. I would covet your prayers in the coming weeks. God bless.

While we don't like to hear bad news and don't appreciate the
pronouncement of judgment on others, there is a time when it is
appropriate. Jesus was not only our sacrificial lamb, but he is
also our Chief Shepherd. When the earthly shepherds of his sheep do
not lead faithfully, he will demand harsh justice. This is a
warning to all who lead that they must do so faithfully and
tenderly. It is also a comfort to those who have been abused by
ungodly leaders -- God will wipe away your tears and he will bring
about a righteous justice to those who have abused the stewardship
of their pastoral calling.

can we all think of Freddiemc, a lovely lady who had a bad fall and broke her upper arm.

She is having difficulty playing her games at the moment so please have patience with her...she is such a sweety.

Radiant, it is with great sadness and regret that I tell you that my kid sister will not discuss religion with anyone or me.

Musiclover, does your sister know the Lord?
Its with pleasure and compassion that I remember her in my prayers..

Radiant, thank you for your prayers. I am back home after attending the funeral in Brooklyn, New York. Tom was not buried in Sellersville, PA near their new home of only a year and few months. He was buried next to his brother, Michael who lost his life performing his duties as a firemen in the 9-11 tragedy. His mother has just her daughter left as both her sons passed; both very young. My sister is doing well but after her best friend leaves her home after staying with her for a week and she finds herself all alone in that big house; I will have to worry about her in Pennsylvania. I will keep in touch with her by phone and sending her notes of encouragement, understanding and sympathy.

Godspeed on your sad travel and blessings for you and your family, Musiclover! Keep you in my thoughts and prayers..

Thank you Scarlet Rose, Dolittle and Nirvana. I had a minute in between packing my suitcase and needed to do something to get my mind off the emotional three days ahead of me, my sister and Tom's family. See you here when I return.

My sympathies and thoughts go with you, musiclover, and of course to your family.

Thoughts and prayers go with you musiclover!

I am so sorry to hear of your sisters loss.. I will most definately say a prayer for your family.. Take care and have a safe trip..

My dear friends at Brainking:

My sister's husband, Tom, passed away in his sleep for no apparent reason. He was not sick and had no known illnesses. They are performing an autopsy to try and determine why he died. He was only 43 years old as I am 17 years older than my sister, Mary Ann. I am leaving for New York, where he will be taken from their home in Pennsylvania to be buried in the Brooklyn area, near his only brother, Michael, who died in the basement of one of the Twin Towers on 9-11-01, . He was one of the firemen that perished in that horrible tragedy. I feel so bad for the boys' parents as now they will bury their remaining son Friday, November 5th. I will return Nov. 8th. Please say a prayer for my sister and her beloved Tom and his family.
