i'm not a regular here in the CF, but i just want to share a little something that's been on my heart.

Lord... i know i'm not where i need to be right now. i don't always make the best decisions when it comes to the company i keep, the words i say, or even the things i do. but Lord, i want to thank you for providing me with Your spirit regardless of the mess i get myself into. and thankful that You're still there, with open arms, to wash me away of my sin each and every time i come crying to you in search of forgiveness.

i heard in a sermon once that sometimes that as a Christian, you need to start worrying when you do wrong and your conscience isn't pricked by the holy spirit. as in... when you do wrong... and you KNOW you do wrong... it's a problem when you get so comfortable in your wrong that you've tuned out the lil' voice in your head telling you you're wrong :grin:

.

i'm rambling... but I'm just so thankful to God that the little voice in my head is still loud and clear.

The Secret, law of Attraction, etc. are not New Agey, but Gifts from the Most High God to learn how to live our lives in abundance.

Put on the Mind of Christ- It's one of abundance, not scarcity.

Just had to get that out into the "Universe"-that God Created!

Father, I have no regrets in the choice I've made to serve and honor you. No regrets, for what you asked of me to do. No regrets, for prayers of love and of sacrifice; No regrets, My Father God for the honor of having you in my life.

You've never failed me and each promise you've made, you've always fulfilled. You've reproved 'kings' for my sake and have had them removed, from the paths you've placed me upon.

You gave life where death hovered over; you gave grace, which I've never deserved; you've given me children who chose to honor you and you've blessed us indeed.

When I look at the heartaches of those around, I give them this prayer from you, I've found....

Evil can't get close to you, harm can't get through the door. He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go.

If you stumble, they'll catch you; their job is to keep you from falling.

Psalm 91:10-12 MSG

Not a random thought... Yet, an 'Honor' to My Father, who art in Heaven. :Rose:

Shimmie, you are a blessing in so many ways. This psalm verbalizes exactly how I feel right now as I line up and follow God's Will for my life...I'm casting my fears of failing aside and keeping my eyes on the Lord cause I know HE has my back.

Thank you for your blessings, sis....yes, we are truly blessed!!!

Sis...

The two of you are blessed, indeed.

God did it for me again. He got me past August 1; the anniversary of when my baby son died. He died of SIDS; he was only 3 months and 15 days old to the very minute.

He would have been a handsome young man by now. Just knowing that he is in Heaven with Our Father... who art'... gives me great joy.

He had beautiful soft creamy skin; and thick curly locks of dark silky wavy hair on his head. He looked like a little Indian papoose' baby, fat and healthy and so cuddly. :hug2:

I remember grieving one day because I had 'lost' the loc of his silky hair that I had saved; something 'real' left of him. Yet God in His mercy gave me my babygirl who has the same creamy skin and huge curly locs of silky wavy hair.

God blesses us and we move on, sis. Precious Wavy, we move on and praise God forever more. :Rose:

I couldn't say too much about it, but God used you to get me through this weekend. You have a very loving husband who understands your Ministry. All I can say, is thank you from the very bottom of my heart. I think you 'knew'. Though I said nothing, you 'knew'. :love2:

What would we do without Jesus... I don't ever want to know. Not now, not after, not ever. He is 'our' Lord.

Blessings to you, always....

The thing is that you are so tuned in to the Holy Spirit, that you always seem to 'know' when I'm having a struggle of some kind. Remember last year on Mother's day? I was in so much pain that I could hardly move and all I could do was cry out to God.

I was trying so hard to get dressed and ready to be with my family because my body was hurting so bad. The pain just wouldn't stop. I didn't tell my babies because they would have been too worried. And as I was crying in prayer, there you were calling my phone (of ALL days) to wish me a Happy Mother's day but you were also praying for me. You had stepped aside from your family for a few moments to let me know God has heard my prayers. Jesus ! ! ! You just don't know !

The Holy Spirit is awesome! The pain went away later that evening. It was an 'issue' that God corrected. All through The power of prayer and 'Deep calling unto Deep.' God heard me and answered me via the loving obedience of 'you', His Servant.

I learned something from the Holy Spirit. That when God connects his Body as one, all we have to do is cry out and pray in the 'Holy Spirit" and God will connect his children in prayer. It's way too late for anyone to tell me anything different. The flow and ministry of the Holy Spirit is powerful ! ! !

This is why we can't allow any other gods or spirits to seep in. As the post above by 'pookie' says, we can't think that because we don't have a conviction that we're in the clear. I remember my mother always telling me, 'You're old enough to know better, I don't have to tell you right from wrong." It's makes sense.

All I know is that God uses your Ministry 'uncompromised' and His loving Grace does much more abound. It's worth it to be ridgid, stanch, unbending, and firmly rooted in God. Life is seriously serious. And in this life, I don't want to be in it without God and His mercies which endureth forever and ever.

I love the Lord, He heard my cry; my cry reached even unto His ear. Lo' He came down, upon a cherub and He faced mine enemies.
(Pph: Psalm 18)

He does this for me every single time, I cry ... Lord God All Mighty! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Lord! Thank you Lord ! Lord we love you and we praise you; With all of our hearts and souls.

God you never ever failed me. Not once did I ever cry out that you never came to my rescue. Lord how I love you. In Jesus' Name, :amen:

Blessed be the name of the Lord.... :Rose: Amen.

Finally Free, thank you I don't always post when I have something going on; I'm more of a 'fire ball' and a warrior.

God keeps me in my PM box doing what I love most which is praying with and for people. The prayers keep coming in and God's love keeps pouring out.

God loves his children and He wants them to know just how much. So many feel that God does not love Him and yet He does. Love is all He has given me, no matter what.

If it were up to Shimmie, nothing would go right. :nono:

. Truly! Nothing! I prove that to myself each day. But only because of Him, Jesus is the only good that you see in me. The difference in me is Jesus.

As I was driving today the Lord spoke to me. He said, "so many give a tenth of their money to me but what about their time." So I began to wonder what would happen if we all tithed not just our money but our time spent, reading the word, praying and being a blessing to others!!! That's only 2 hours and 24 minutes everyday some of us spend more time than that on this very board. God first everyone!!! Q

You can get on the phone with a fellow brother or sister and examine scripture together. Or you can give up an hour long show and just spend that time talking with the Lord. There are so many ways we can get that time in. I know it convicted me and I thank God for it. I receive it!!!! Q

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
- Job 14:4

If you see your sinfulness, do not wait to make yourself better. How many there are who think they are not good enough to come to Christ. Do you expect to become better through your own efforts? "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil." Jeremiah 13:23. There is help for us only in God. We must not wait for stronger persuasions, for better opportunities, or for holier tempers. We can do nothing of ourselves. We must come to Christ just as we are.

But let none deceive themselves with the thought that God, in His great love and mercy, will yet save even the rejecters of His grace. The exceeding sinfulness of sin can be estimated only in the light of the cross. When men urge that God is too good to cast off the sinner, let them look to Calvary. It was because there was no other way in which man could be saved, because without this sacrifice it was impossible for the human race to escape from the defiling power of sin, and be restored to communion with holy beings,--impossible for them again to become partakers of spiritual life,--it was because of this that Christ took upon Himself the guilt of the disobedient and suffered in the sinner's stead. The love and suffering and death of the Son of God all testify to the terrible enormity of sin and declare that there is no escape from its power, no hope of the higher life, but through the submission of the soul to Christ.

The impenitent sometimes excuse themselves by saying of professed Christians, "I am as good as they are. They are no more self-denying, sober, or circumspect in their conduct than I am. They love pleasure and self-indulgence as well as I do." Thus they make the faults of others an excuse for their own neglect of duty. But the sins and defects of others do not excuse anyone, for the Lord has not given us an erring human pattern. The spotless Son of God has been given as our example, and those who complain of the wrong course of professed Christians are the ones who should show better lives and nobler examples. If they have so high a conception of what a Christian should be, is not their own sin so much the greater? They know what is right, and yet refuse to do it.

Oh my goodness Shimmie, this one is for me. I am a young married woman and it is very hard for me I tell ya. God has given me a great man and sometimes I let the devil come in and put these ridiculous thoughts in my mind. I have been struggling with this the past few days and I have been crying and asking God to deliver me. I have been pushing the hubby away when I know I shouldn't. He has given up everything for me and here I am being ungrateful. But I woke up this morning and let the devil know he is not going to steal my joy. Thank you for this because the Lord needed me to see this. We have a beautiful two year old little boy and I have never been happier with anybody else. The Lord is truly amazing and you are amazing.

Nikz, what a humble and loving heart you have. Only God can take the glory for having it my heart to pray for Marriages.

I don't think you realize that your post is far more important then mine. You see, everything I post or pray is by 'Faith'. I have 'knowledge' of nothing, but God does. He searches each day to see whom He can use as His vessel and when He speaks to me, it's an honor.

Your post is the confirmation that I heard from Him and even more that I yielded. So it is " I " who thanks you. I thank you, Nikz for your heartfelt post. I praise God for your Marriage and that you and your husband will always be happy and always able to abound in more and more love towards one another.

In Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen. :kiss:
