The first day I will TRULY NOT allow satan to have a place in me, I know it'll be a struggle but I ask any readers to pray for me to get through it Today I barely feel like doing anything other then listening to gospel music/praying and so on. Video games and so on just seem so boring to me today, actually anything not relating to god does, its odd to feel as if I have no attachment to video games, after playing them all the time for roughly 8 years (since I was roughly 7). Some temptation to do sins is attacking me today, but not that bad yet at least.. its only 10:00 AM so far, but I will push on! GBU all and shalom!

YOU CAN KNOW GOD: There is a power greater than ourselves which manifests itself within us as well as everywhere else in the universe. This I call God. Do you know what it is to know God - to have God's constant guidance - a constant awareness of God's presence? To know God is to reflect love toward all people and all creations. To know God is to feel peace within - a calmness, a serenity, an unshakeableness which enables you to face any situation. To know God is to be so filled with joy that it bubbles over and goes forth to bless the world. I have only one desire now - to do God's will for me - there is no conflict. When God guides me to walk a pilgrimage I do it gladly. When God guides me to do other things I do them just as gladly...

Isa.55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. There is no need to pass through years of penance, of hard labor, and of trial; the gospel is as free as the air you breathe. You do not pay for breathing; you do not pay for seeing the sunlight, nor for the water that flows in the river as you stoop to drink when you thirst. So the gospel is free; nothing is to be done in order to get it. No merits need be brought in order to obtain it. There is free pardon for the chief of sinners through Jesus Christ's blood. But I said it was a full pardon. When Christ does anything he never does it half way. He is...

It seems the title walking by faith has been a frequent topic. Well, i'd like to share some personal experiences and how God tests us and we don't even know it. He says in the word the trying of our faith produces patience. It is best to start with small steps on the journey. Like ok... he led me here and he came through for me, then u grow in faith and have the patience to allow his plans to unfold. Just yesterday, i decided to walk by faith, and not by sight. I drove around seeking a homeless man i usually see next to mc donalds. I had been praying for him, and i believe in the promises of Isaiah 58. Unfortunately, it seemed to my rational mind, no one was around to help or preach to. The area was completely deserted, eerie...

A friend of mine shared this with me, and I feel that this is extremely important so I am resharing: From Shannon Ethridge's book Completely His - Loving Jesus Without Limits "When a bride commits her life to her groom, she promises to "love, honor, cherish, and obey...for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." There is nothing conditional in these words. A bride does not vow to love only when her groom is lovable, to honor only when he is honorable, to cherish as long as there's something in it for her, to obey as long as she trusts his judgment, or to remain committed as long as it's easy. She commits to love her groom wholeheartedly. She commits to being completely...

Friend relationships that were on the previous version of the site have been restored. They will now show up as someone who follows you (your followers) and that you follow (you are following). You can follow other members from their profile page when you visit it. I have also put two options in the menu to find all the people that you follow (following) and who follow you (followers). They are in the members menu and the settings menu. You can adjust notifications for each person you are following and also manage the relationship itself. You can also edit your overall notifications in the settings menu using the notifications link. Private chat will also now use these relationships for...

Establish A Place For Prayer. Places matter to God. He made them too, you know. Think of these places: The Upper Room, Jericho, Bethel, Zarephath, Gethsemane. Jesus had special places for prayer. Mountains. Gethsemane. Go ahead...sanctify your own personal Prayer Place OR Closet. It will become a precious and treasured Place. P:S: I personally have a prayer corner but it's where u can feel the presence of God best, away from all distractions. Shalom! : And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, He was there alone,” (Matthew 14:23).

Greetings, The home page has now been updated with much of the functionality of the older version. The excerpts of the requests now show. The quick reply function works again. So far it will only use your first quick reply in your profile or it will use the default. The multiple options and multiple selections are not implemented as of yet. If you already prayed in a request, it will say Thanks for Praying in bold green instead of showing the Quick Reply option. This should make it easier to keep track of requests you have posted in. Instead of a blocked look, the prayer requests now use a single column with Infinite Scrolling. As you scroll down at the bottom, more prayer requests...

The site has just been upgraded from the place that makes the forum software. It was a major upgrade. The look of the site right now is the default appearance out of the box. The previous site looked similar without the customizations. I will be reviewing the custom parts of the site to see which can be re-enabled as time goes on. For now, it may take a little looking around to find things. The site will run slow for several days as some upgrade processes are still running in the background. Friends were removed from the latest forum software. Now they are followers. So any friends you had before will need to be re-added as followers. Since it involves receiving notifications, they weren't migrated over. Otherwise...

Hi everyone, I hope all of you are doing well. After I finishing praying a few moments ago I came across this verse ( Psalms 90 V 10). It states according to the New Living Translation " Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away." That verse stood out to me because so many times we do wonder why are we going through this hardship, why doesn't God answer my prayers, does God really care. But I just want you to know that it is only in those years fill with pain and trouble that builds character, and strengthens your faith in God. Why? because when you are in a hardship that you cannot make your way out by your own means, only...
