"His divine power HAS GIVEN to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who
called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through
these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
(2 Peter 1:3,4).
What shall we make of these Scriptural declarations? Sometimes we are like children with a check for a million dollars who haven't yet learned how to go to the bank and cash it. Ignorance of God's promises, and ignorance concerning the principles of faith which must be applied to receive them, have cost us dearly. This ignorance exists because of a deficient personal knowledge of Jesus Christ in our lives. If we drew near to Him and sought to please Him through a life of active faith, the results would be amazing. It would change the way we talk, the way we think, the way we act, and the way God would move in and through our lives. God wants us to talk, think and act like He means what He says!
Too many Christians struggle along, desperately begging God for things He has already promised, or already declared that He has given to us. Emotionally tormenting oneself does not impress God or move Him to respond. God responds to faith. Without faith it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6).
Verbal thanksgiving is a major key to releasing faith. We thank God for his promises, we praise God for His promises and His declarations to us, before we see the manifestation of the answer we need. We talk as if it is already done. This pleases God, who wants us to "walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7).
The Promises are For Us
"For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us."
(2 Corinthians 1:20)
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ".
(Ephesians 1:3)
If we are in Christ, then all the promises in the Bible can be found, claimed and received by us. Any Bible teacher who declares "this biblical promise is no longer for today" is a deceiver. Such a teacher places his own theology above the plain declarations of Scripture.
Satan used to whisper to me that the promises were for another time, another person, that they were not worth having, and later, that I would not receive. All these kind of lies can be overcome by immersing ourselves in the Word of God - by pondering it, speaking it, and hearing people of faith preach it. Like anything worthwhile though, it takes some effort and diligence to renew our minds according to the Word of God. Satan is out to promote unbelief. Unbelief is sin, and we do well to make war on the unbelief in our own hearts, so that the new man in Christ can start to live and move through us.
This most important promise, apart from the promise of justification and the new birth to those who believe, is the promise of the Spirit. It helps a great deal to receive the Spirit as the disciples did on the day of Pentecost, and on other occasions throughout the book of Acts. We need the power of the Spirit. It is the Spirit of God who then leads us through the Word and teaches us how to pray so that God is glorified through the fact that His promises come to pass in OUR lives.
The prayers belong are based on Scriptural promises. By thanking God for making them a reality in our lives, we please God who told us "in everything give thanks" (1 Thessalonians 5:18) and to offer thanks when we pray (Philippians 4:6,7).
We who have entered into a covenant with God through the blood of Jesus Christ are partakers in the promises of God, found in His Word, the Bible. We have given our life to God and promised to obey His Word. He in turn not only gives us the power to obey His commandments, but also is ready to pour His blessings upon us because we are now His children. Everything His Word promises is for us to receive. We must appropriate these blessings by faith.
Speaking the Word of God with a first person application is one way of expressing the kind of faith which pleases God. By confessing our obedience to a commandment of God we are boldly declaring our allegiance to God. We are trusting God for the power to walk in obedience to what He told us to do. It is important to confess like this because our verbal commitments steer the direction of our life. It is also important because many of God's promises to us are conditional upon the kind of faith which leads to obedience.
By confessing a promise in the first person we are boldly stating that we are the ones that it applies to. We definitely express faith that we are the ones who are going to receive the blessing.
Praying the Word for the church is one way of expressing the kind of faith which pleases God. We can be sure we are praying God's will when we pray His word, and we have confidence that He does what we ask. (1 John 5:14,15)

Prayer and Confession
I must apoligize for my last request because it wasn't true but I was angry and hope your willing to post this one. I feel abandoned I lost everything my career, the woman I've loved and at times I feel truly alone. I don't get along with my family members so I could speak with so that doesn't help and I feel like I've shut God and Jesus Christ out. What do I do? Please pray for me and any advice you could provide would be help. When I came on this site I feel like your a fellow christian that could lead me some good advice. Please let my everlasting father know I'm listening now and what should I do
Prayer and Confession guidance
My name is Paul. I live in the US. I'm 27 yrs old and ready to die. I lost my job. I unlike most people can't go to family or my race because I don't have either. I don't feel like Jesus Christ of Nazareth would care to answer me but I still ask why have I been forsaken. Can God not find in his heart to forgive me because I need more time and I didn't get it. I hope your truly feeled with the holy spirit because I would like an answer before I die in 1 week.
Paul you can be forgiven and adopted by God
Paul your circumstances right now may be bad, but I want you to know what the Bible says. It says that "God is not willing that any should perish, but wants everyone to come to the knowledge of the truth". I guess "everyone" includes you Paul.
God has a good plan for your life. We live in a messed up demon infested world because of the disobedience we have shown towards a loving God. I know life can hurt really bad but eternal death is much worse. So don't go that way.
If Jesus cared enough to suffer and die in your place then I believe he definitely wants you to receive forgiveness and new hope and new life. He is offering it to you, if only you could see it.
Just admit that God deserves to be Lord, that you need a Savior, and call upon Jesus for a new life. He will receive you. He will give you time to learn and understand his ways. And God the Father will adopt you into His family and take care of you in a special way since you don't have natural parents from what I understand of your posting.
The information on this site could help you to make a start towards God.
Folks, lets pray for Paul that Paul would really know the truth of God's love and plan for his life.
Please write back. Or use the contact form to contact me personally.
Reply to my prayer
Thank you. I must admit that I do still have natural parents its just their not with me nor ever really helped me after I grew up and moved away from them. I'm a second child and they really just neglected me and I never really bothered with them. After 2000 I hadn't really live anywhere but by myself and its become that much harder because when I worked I could mask the pain but as you can see from my email I couldn't keep that either. But deep inside I was struggling with a addiction that to this day I don't know what to do on because I keep falling. What should I do?
You have a family in Jesus.
Paul, you have the ability to be a part of a family of believers who will love and care for you.
God Bless you,
Pete
reply
Thank you. I appreciate the time you gave to read my request. I can always hope right.
God bless you Paul
Good on you for staying in touch my friend.
I know that you are longing for answers in your life.
The good news is that Jesus is the answer.
You may have already made the commitment of inviting Jesus to be your saviour, you may not have taken that step yet but I encourage you to, straight away.
It is a simple prayer that goes something like this:
" Jesus, I know that I have made a mess of my life but I believe that you can make things better again. Im sorry for my mistakes and I ask that you would be Lord over my life"
The bible tells us in the book of revelation, verse 3 chapter 20
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me"
Jesus is knocking. Let Him in.
God bless,
Pete
prayer request
please pray for me and my partner Frik in south Africa,we need Gods promises as in His word-Deut 28:11 (KJS) And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do
Please pray that we do not labour in vain as we need the contarcats to be friutful and bare good fruit so we can prosper and be a blessing to others.
Needing Physical Healing
Hello everybody,
Please pray for my left hand. The back of my hand, the parts between the knuckles are red, and even the part between the knuckles and that first joint are red. They're not like rashes but they itch. Sometimes, there are cracks. It is also sort of bumpy, and if I press the red spot for a second then the redness disappears for a second or two, then it returns. It has been like this for over a month (maybe over two, I don't remember when it started). It has gotten better and then worse, and the better again in a never ending cycle. But during the past few weeks, my hand has been generally been better than the worst days. The last three days, it seems to have worsened a bit.
My dad (a physician) had me try Lotrimin, hydrocortosone, A&D oilment and it isn't working. The back of my hand heals easier than the parts between the knuckles. I've also tried vasaline and ice. And I've to a traditional Chinese doctor (they use Chinese herbs etc. instead of Western medicine), he said I might be allergic to beef (I hope not). But I haven't been eating beef for the last few days and have only been eating relatively healthy foods, but my hand is still getting more and more red.
I have no idea what it is but I wish I knew. And sorry for the bad descriptions, I really don't know how to describe it, but if you have questions, go ahead and ask.
Your prayers would be great.
Thanks! And be blessed by the LORD!!!

request for prayer
I am requesting prayer for healing for my father-in-law, my sister-in-law and myself. My father-in-law, George, is undergoing treatment for cancer and may need surgery as well. Please pray that the Lord will remove the cancer from his body and restore him to his family. My sister-in-law, Lori, has MS. In the last few years it has seriously begun to cause a deterioration in her motor functions as well as other related bodily functions. Please pray that the Lord will give her total healing and freedom from this oppressive disease. Lastly, I have a heart condition and would request that you would ask the Lord to remove this condition from me as well as some dental issues that are above and beyond the ordinary.
I thank you for your prayers and I want you to know that I agree with all of you who are my siblings in Christ...that your needs would be met by His glorious riches and mercy in Christ Jesus. May God bless you all and reveal His love in and through you.

Spirits. I'm gifted, or am I cursed?
I've had a spiritual experience today. My boyfriend was being plagued by demons. I was worried. I've always been sensitive to spirits and the beyond, but only at odd moments, it seems. So, I sat down and prayed. I started shaking all of a sudden, my breath was thin, I saw myself outside of my body, speeding and flying down the streets, to my boyfriend. I sensed it fighting away the demons. I was shaking and crying, but something told me to stay focused. Afterwards, I was lightheaded and exhausted. What does this mean? What had I sent out to protect him? Angels? A spirit, my own spirit? Is that possible? I'm confused, I know now I must have some kind of gift. But, I don't know what to think of it. Please, reply, e-mail me. Let me know if you understand what had happened to me.
This isn't the first time strange things like this have happened to me.
Thank you, God Bless!
The Moment of Truth
Dear Lord,
It has come to a point in my life that I need a moment of truth. This should be a conversation between you and I, but I feel compelled in my heart to type and share these things upfront. I need to be exposed & to confess in privacy does not seem to satisfy my soul where I am at peace.
Lord before I begin please provide me strenght and wisdom to free my heart from years of burden. I understand that what I acknowledge has been kept between you and I for many years and often, like a fool, I turn my back to you when your most gracious help is offered because I think the soultion will be easier to find on my own. And the fool that I am..... I actually believe it! You know me better than anyone.... you are my creator and without you I am lost. You have helped me and others though the most difficult times and shared in the most precious.
At this moment my heart is heavy and my soul is weak.
I am a liar.
I am a horrible liar.
I have lied to my family, friends, co-workers, lovers, and complete strangers about my health, talents, skills, happenings, and where I am from because I wanted them to feel for me because I think I am not a unique/special person on my own. I lied to my mother about non-existant health issues because I needed money to make rent because I have foolishly sqaundered my own funds. When I ask for the money I honestly have no intentions of paying her back. Because I simply do not have the funds. If one day I did have the funds I would pay her back and provide for her if needed.
I have lied about my religion but never denied that I believe in you Lord. I am in fact not mennonite, but Presbyterian... but still I don't know a thing about my own denomination. I know more about astrology and turn to that and psychics when I cannot find my way... when I know darn well that you are the way. The sick part is that I try and seek out the information that is given by these psychics. It sickens me that I tend to have more faith in them than I do my own creator... and I pay them... when the best guidance that I could ever have is prayer away... and it is FREE! Please Lord help me to deny this instant gratifaction and to erase these suggestions given. I know these psychics are NOT you!
I speak negativly about my mother when she has helped me more than I needed. I do love her, but I don't know how I love her... I don't like her as a person. I don't view her as my mother. To be honest if we were not related I probably wouldn't associate with her. I don't like the way she makes me feel. I always feel judged in her presence. I can honestly say she has made me feel more self concious about my appearence, my career, and my crucial decisions in life. I aim to please her over the years all while denying my own personal wants. Now I am confused, angry, and resentful towards her.... because I don't feel I can make a decision in life that will please her... therefore in the end I have been afraid to go after what my heart desires. I feel that I have been manipulated!!!! She has elicted fear in my adult heart and I am screaming for my child version. What bothers me more than ever is I have catered to her for so many years, that I now I have enetred into my adulthood I carried over these traits trying to please people... make them like me by finding some common ground regardless if it is true or not. I hate myself for it. I want to stop being everyone to everybody and be me... and to feel good about who I am and the skills I possess. I am an artist in many ways.... I am proud of it.... but the one type of artist that I am tired of being is a "con-artist".
I am still unsure about how I feel about my abortion. It was a lesson learned. I am sorry for destroying one of your creations. I paid the price for my actions, and I was young, unstable to support a child, and had my sights on other goals. To be honest I didn't want to bring a child up in the environment I was raised in and to feel caught in Indiana. Yes, I do feel my mother was influential in the abortion, but ultimately it was my decision. I did want to expose the child to her treament and the constant reminder "that your mommy screwed up her life" even if it went unsaid.
Lord I am an angry person.
At times nothing would feel better than to beat the living crud out of my mother or certain people for that matter. But for that moment of instant gratifaction I would feel mortified on my actions. Instead of screming or physically act upon my emotions I cry. I cry not because I feel bad, but because I cannot perform what I am feeling inside... because I know it is WRONG! At times I have horrific graphic visions of harming people. They frighten me for the same reason. I hate my job. I dislike most of the people I work with. I wish my bosses would literally drop off the face of the earth, and that this place would burn down with no one in it. Claire annoys the crap out of me and everytime I see her I want to scream at her and tell her how patheitic she is while bashing her face to the ground. The sound of voice annoys me and her know it all condesending attitude enrages me. BUT really who am I to judge! I am a hypocrit! The one time I couldn't control my rage is when my nephew was 2 months old. I was taking care of him...He wouldn't stop crying... I was holding him on my shoulder... and I screamed so loud in his ear... he stopped crying for a moment and then started up again. I have never in my life felt like the scum of the earth until that moment. Even though it happened almost 2 years ago I still feel like garbage and I feel that I cannot be close to him because of that. I don't want to hurt him. I don't think I could ever forgive myself.
Please Lord help me and others.
My life is dark with you.
Look right into the eyes of the Savior.
Especially for you, my friend!!
**************
DEAR LORD,
When storms of life are raging
and doubt reaches my way,
remind me of Your Love, Lord,
to keep my fears at bay.
When all I see is failure
and mountains, hard to climb,
just whisper in my ear, O Lord,
that You are still sublime.
This life may disappoint me
and so may people too.
Lord, show me Your faithfullness
and keep me true to You.
When tears do fill my eyes, Lord,
and I'm seemingly blind,
walk with me, Precious Jesus,
and ease my tired mind.
Take me by the hand, Lord,
when roads are washing out.
Provide me with protection
and keep me from all rout.
When I'm getting real tired
from struggling day and night,
hold me tight, dear Jesus,
Please, be my guiding LIGHT.

The Secret Place
Hiding in God, to be in that Secret place
To commune with Him and seek His holy face
Is our desperate need in our daily walk
To stay pure in our thoughts, deeds and talk
We need to give Him all that we've gathered
Our pain, our fear and things that have bothered
The anger and frustration will break us down
If not surrendered we'll miss the crown
Giving it all to Him may be hard some days
To speak it out may just leave you in a daze
So, write down your confession in black and white
And you'll be surprised what you've tried to hide
Don't skip the secret corners of your heart
As this covers mostly the biggest part
Where sins are hidden from the human eye
Do include them in your letter to the Most High
Then humbly kneel down and present it to the Lord
Allow Him to read the pages that you wrought
His eyes will move from your writing ... across to you
While Jesus will be standing between the two
This will be your perfect hiding place
For Jesus covers the sin of the human race
No writing on your paper will to be found by God
Because Jesus wiped it out with His Blood
Your sheets will be blank and your slate clean
No need to go back to something not seen
So march forward in the strength of His Might
And stay on His path as you walk in His Light
Psalms 51:8 ... Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
Psalms 51:9 ... Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

God healed me!!!
I want to thank everyone who was praying for me . May Lord bless you all! I have a praise report today :) Earlier a few weeks ago I requested a prayer . I was fasting and praying for my healing. My hair was falling out and I had a big bald spot on my head... I didn't know what it was. I was diagnozed with skin cancer when I was a kid and Lord healed me completely... I was in complete shock and my only hope was to pray and fast.
God healed my skin disease. I noticed that the bald stop on my head was covered with tiny hair....each day I saw new hair growing...
This is another miracle in my life. Thank you so much for praying with me !!!

Just to encourage you Alana
When I first went to Romania in 1992, I had a translator who had that problem. A young teenager, he had a big bald patch towards the front of his head. Certainly not normal. His parents said, "if God heals this, we will repent". I prayed about this and it wasn't long before God caused the hair to grow back. His parents did repent and stayed with the Lord. Even his sister did also.
So God can solve this problem for you. Stay in touch and we will pray for you.
Michael thank you for your prayers !!
I am healed =0) My hair is growing back...more each day !!
God bless U!
Alana
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your encouragement and prayers. God bless you and your family ! It really means a lot to me. I will keep you updated on this situation.
God Bless U,

Prayer Request
I need your prayers that I would become stronger to resist the devil. I am a christian and have committed the sin of Adultery. I have asked God to forgive me time and time again, but I find myself getting caught up again and again. I do not want to be doing this anymore. Please help me pray. I need to have eternal life. Ask that God would strengthen and keep me, because I work with this person every day. Liz
Is there anyone who can help me?
Liz you need to check out
Liz you need to check out the website www.marriagebuilders.com.
Dr Harley is a Christian counsellor who can help you a lot.
The first thing to do is the most logical -- change jobs.
Then change your cellphone.
Never have contact again with the person you are committing adultery with.
Once you have severed this contact, you need to front up to your husband, seek his forgiveness (he may elect to walk away at this point and it IS his right to make that call), and identify and work through the relationship issues that led you to be vulnerable. You may need professional help as a couple, but Dr Harley offers a blueprint that you can use here.
Ask God's forgiveness and invite him back into your life. He is a loving father and will forgive your sin if you are sincere in renouncing it.
We pray for you that you will do the right thing and call down God's blessing on you in your time of need.
In Jesus Name
Amen
This is Liz writing. I
This is Liz writing. I wanted to let you know that I am single in a relationship with a married man. Thank you anyway for your advice. I find that the real problems like mine is not addressed in many churches. I hope that this will be highlighted soon. I believe that there are many out there who struggle with such problems but with no one to help. I will however hold onto 1John 1:9
I am praying with you Liz.
With God everything is possible. I will be praying for you!
God Bless You!
Alana

Fear of dead people or I have been attacked spiritually
Hello to everyone in here...Please feel free to give me any advise of what I'm about to tell you.
One morning, my husband and I were having an arguements before our trip to Rainbow's End (NZ). He was pissing me off so I thought that it would be cool to invite the devil into my life which was later on started affecting me spiritually. 1 Week after my grandpa died I felt that he came to visit me through a smell of Fimelda Hide. So I prayed to God to make it go away. A month after our old lady neighbor died (89) and I knew that she came to visit me as well as I smelt a cigarrete ( she used to smoke a lot)... I mean, the thought of dead people coming to visit me makes me so scared. Anyway, I think about 3 weeks after... a close friend of mine told me that they've just found out that their next door neighbor has been dead in his flat for a week and was only discovered 1 week after. Of course, when I came to visit my friend the next day, I felt really nervous and uncofortable about it and it did not smell nice as his body has been rotting in their for a week. This kind of things freaks me out. Okay.. Im getting somewhere here I promise. Another week later... My husband left early morning abut 6am ( I knew something was about to happen too)... As soon as he left.. I smelt the same thing as I smelt at that house so I prayed to God for his protection and it seemed to go away. I kept praying to God day and night and I would read the bible to heal my spirit. I kepy praying and praying for his protection over me and that night.. I was telling my husband that I don't want to feel like this anymore and I don't want to live in fear. Imagine, I am scared to be alone in the house even on day lights with my kids running around outside. That is how much its affecting me. SO back to that night when I told my husband, he said to me, Honey I think you have been attacked spiritually.. (My heart beat started racing so fast) that I got up and said to him please call 911 I think im going to have a heart attack! I had a panik attack... He turned on the light and said, Michele look at me... He told me told me to calm down but it didn't work. He told me to say what he was saying which was to renounce the devil out my body..Kinda excorsism.. I was really shaking and took me a while to say it but I did. I kept laughing and then I cried. it was really weird for me and for him. Umm... The next day... I prayed again to God to lift up my soul to him and make me to be a strong person. I had a dream that night... A huge black snake came out of my middle back and I thought i was going to bleed to death... they were also little snakes around it like babies oneds. So, I think that it is out....
I want prayers from you guys so that God will keep healing my soul and will never invite anything like that again. Support me please by your prayers. Thanks .:)
Struggling with sin...
Greetings in behalf of our Lord Jesus Christ...
I am a Christian who has been struggling to stop and break free from my bondage of sin. I have been downloading and collecting pornographic videos which I use to physically gratify myself.
I have been struggling with this for years now and I really want to stop. There were times that I thought I was able to stop. I prayed hard to the Lord. I destroyed all my DVD collections but before knowing it I was already back in the habit downloading and collecting again.
I am not new to the faith and have been a Christian for years now. To make things worse I am a front liner of my church. I am a singer who sings often in my church. People had been telling me how blessed they were listening to me and how God has used me with my talent but deep inside it’s tearing me apart. I know and He knows I don’t deserve what people had been telling me. If only they knew the truth about my deep struggle.
Please believe me that when I sing I really do pour out my love for the Lord. I do love Him with all my heart but I’m really having a hard time letting go of my bondage. I really want to stop hurting God and deceiving people in my church. I know because of my sins I have been missing the joy, peace, and blessings God has intended for my life.
I chose this venue to express and come to the open because I’m so ashamed and embarrassed to say anything to anyone in my church. I need all the help I can get. I am desperately in need of a miracle. I don’t want my sin to rule over my life. Please pray for me.
Sincerely Yours,
Struggling Singer
HELLLLO strugling sinner...
HELLLLO strugling sinner... What a blessing to find you!!! Guess what!!! i was in the same condition till about a week back. do u wanna no since when!!! Since the age of 8...and now im 18/ can u beliv ten years is terible bondage.. i was on the verge of gettin retarded...no jokes!!!
So what did i do to get out??? hmmm....nothin in fact...But this awesome person called JESUS OF NAZARETh helped me miraculously get out of bondage...all i did was pray and fast...Then My GOD told me this:
"Child ur are my son and a heir to heaven./..do you realise the devil's authority is far below mine..I created him...and since you are my son in JESUS CHRIST the devil is just a loser whose trying to fool you.You hav far greater power in the name of JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH than the devil."
So what i did was i belived that i had greater power and that i was a heir of heaven in JESUS CHRIST,,...all by his grace.. and definitly not my work...I am a sinner and a loser widout him....
So i renounced all the past evils and sins in the name of JESUS and realised my place in heaven...
Imediately i was out of bondage... but what i've realised is that whenever i testify the devil tempts me so much to even bear...sooo pls pray for me...GOD LOVES US MAN>>>>IM saved by the blood of Jesus the christ of Nazareth. AMEN>

I pray that doors are open for you and He give you favor to anyone you interview with! I am sorry you feel that people don't treat you equally because of race, that is true because we live in a sinful, fallen world! I know that bible says that people of all nations will be in heaven!

Overcoming addictions
Debra,
I would like to share with you how the Lord removed my addiction to tobacco from me. When I had returned to the Lord, I brought a lot of worldly habits with me which included smoking. I wanted to quit so bad for the Lord that I tried several suggestions from friends. I tried, I tried and I tried but it was getting me nowhere. After 2 years I had gotten down to one cigarette a day and I began to say to myself I done it,I'VE QUIT. But when I tried to go a day without a cigarette, I like you, would feel this compulsion, urge and craving that would scream out in my body. So I would stop and buy another pack of cigarettes and become disgusted with myself for having no will power, crumble the pack and throw it away and commit to myself not to buy another pack. For about three weeks this scenario was played over and over again. I would cry out to God, help me with this, I trying but its not working. Then one night on the way home from work I stopped and bought another pack of cigarettes, after smoking a cigarette, I offered this prayer to the Lord.
"Lord you know it is my desire to quit and I have tried everything I can think of, but I just can't do it. Lord I am going to continue to smoke and I am not going to try and quit anymore. Lord only You can take this away, so I am leaving it in your hands."
I put the cigarettes in the glove compartment of my truck and went inside and went to sleep. Long story short about two months later I felt the Lord tap me on the shoulder and ask me, "When was the last time you had a cigarette?" I immediately broke down and began to weep and praise the Lord when I realized how long it had been. It wasn't until I was honest with the Lord that I had no desire of my own to quit and that "I" couldn't do it that Lord took it completely away. I went out to my truck, took the pack of cigarettes with one missing and threw them away for good.
I hope you find encouragement and hope from my story. God is able when we let go.
May God bless you
Pastor Steve
Thankyou
Pastor Steve,
Thank you so much for sharing your story, I do appreciate it. I will do exactly the same thing, because what I have been doing, is knowing I NEED to quit, know I don't want to dirty the temple God gave me anymore, know that I can't afford this dirty habit, but I haven't truely WANTED to give it up. I do, but I don't, I do but I don't, it's sick! Even as I type this, I'm sick with bronchitis and still I continue to smoke and cough and my lungs are killing me, I really do hate the control this addiction has over me. I haven't even arrived at the place where even stop buying the cigarettes.
Thank you so much again, "letting go" is such an important lesson to learn, thank you for the refresher. Sincerely, Debra
PRAYER REQUEST PLEASE
Goodmorning everyone, my friend is sitting here with me and has asked for your prayers, I am typing out his request as he speaks it. His name is Wade.
"The two main concerns that I have at this moment, is my lack of ability to strengthen my belief in God and release myself of the doubts that satan continueously tries to instill in me.
I humbly request, your help in this matter. It is very serious to me and pertinent that I feel the release of unbelief and doubt. I want to whole heartedly, by the grace of God, give myself to Him and ride along side Jesus on a white horse backing him up in battle."
Thank you for time and consideration into my prayer request.
I'd like to add to this, of a newspaper article that I read not too long ago. It pertains to the new Bible version (can't remember which translation that they referenced) but it is surpassing all records of bible sales todate and has become a very popular bible among Christians. I pray that the word gets out there and request humbly, that we all check out, investigate, the scriptures in this new version to see whether this version holds true. From what I've seen this far, I don't think it will.
As an end result, I am beginning to believe that satan will and does not have a chance. It only is be proven to me that how narrow minded and small he really is.
Thank you sincerely, your baby brother, in Christ, Wade
Thank you so much!
Tim,
I so very much appreciate your reply to my prayer request, I am very very greatful! Thank you so much for being honest and sharing your knowledge of addictions, it is simple and yet so very truthful and extremely helpful. Bless you brother!
Thank you for your prayer, and I am overcome with tears right now, I'm going to go have a heart to heart with my Heavenly Father now. I am honored to be apart of this family!
Sincerely, in Christ, Debra
(I will keep you posted as to how this process unfolds)
Keep us posted!
Debra,
How has your heart been after your heart to heart with our Father? I trust He has taken you a step closer to Himself and I await hearing from you when you are ready to give an update. If you are still in the fire, let us know so we can pray accordingly.
Shalom and blessings,
Tim
