As a new believer I was so excited I wanted everyone I knew to get baptized and follow the Lord. This intensified each time The Lord freed me of bondage, or the Bible revealed something to me, or I felt a powerful presence of the Lord. Some looked at me like I was crazy, and some looked at me like she has had a rough time, this too shall pass. This was huge desire for the people I love. I had forgotten what it was like, when I was in such bondage, or I was still buying into the lies, most importantly before I received The Holy Spirit. Sometimes the memory laps would be less than 24 hours. I also would have a huge desire to share my convictions. Even secretly I would think "if they would only give that up their life would be better". I...

In my old life I believed we were all created good, and over the course of time some became corrupt, mentally ill, or maybe even evil. I taught this to my kids, and had influence in other peoples belief system. God was a forgiving God full of unconditional love, defining love in the way our western culture defines it. I used the example of the birth of my children, they were perfect when they were born. I felt like I had become a good person. I helped people (even secretly), I tried to be a good mom, I made sacrifices, I donated money, I thought I was doing all I could. This belief system lead me to believe I did not need a savior. I did not believe in hell. I knew all the Bible stories from childhood, but they were like a cute...

A new feature to the site is now ready that allows any prayer request to be used in a Prayer Card. A Prayer Card is an online e-card, like a greeting card, that is sent to someone by email free from PrayerRequest.com on your behalf. These cards can be sent to anyone. They do not have to be a member to receive and view the card. These cards could be useful, for example, if you want to let someone know about a request you made that is praying for them. Above is an example of what a Prayer Card looks like (there are many options which can be customized). If you see a prayer request that might be beneficial for someone else, just click on the link under the request that says Send this Request in a Prayer Card. An example of this link...

This is a response post to day 28 from a trusted, loved sister, this inspired me to prepare for the next step. When I read your fears I literally laughed....not to make fun of you but at Satan and His deception...are you kidding me????....Lord open her eyes...and let her see the Power YOU have placed upon her...that YOU are shining brighter than bright...that Fear is a joke...when she speaks..Your Spirit is anointing her words...Lord open her eyes and let her see this "demon" of Fear and let her see with open eyes..that she is in training to be a commander in Your army...mold her shape her and use her for Your glory..show her.....how..... when she walks into a place You have already set the path..You have opened up the way to bring...

DON'T LOOK TO THE BIGNESS OF YOUR NEED Look to the bigness of your God! God says: Your circumstances are hindrances to seeing MY ABILITIES... If you keep your eyes on your circumstances, the devil will use your circumstances to defeat you and accuse the Word of God... the written and the Living Word. Your VICTORY is in keeping your eyes on the BIGNESS of your GOD and His ABILITY. He has promised to take you STEP by STEP by STEP â– not all at once but step by step â– AND EACH STEP WILL BE A MIRACLE!" quote by: Morris Cerullo Isa 50:7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed(disappointed). Isa_26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect...

This is an edit after receiving an awesome comment from a trusted believer. I should rename this post the importance of community. We so need believers in our lives. We so need the wisdom of those that have been walking with The Lord longer than ourselves, and we need the passion of those just beginning their journey. Earlier today I saw that people from another social media site have linked to this blog. I instantly got anxious. I feel very protected on this site, most are true believers I trust extend grace, and mercy. I have invited a few friends and family, if it is on my heart to do so, yet I still feel protected. I really have more questions about this issue than answers. I am just going to type and hope some form of...

My father was Catholic and he insisted that we kids be raised Catholic. I went to Catholic School until I was in sixth grade. I tried to be a good student and a follower of the beliefs I was being taught. I sang in the choir. I did well in school. Then my father's abuse was enough for my mother and she left, with us, and we moved to an old poor house downtown where a lot of kids lived. Previously we were in new suburbia in a brand new house with a brand new car. My father the chemical engineer made good money, but I was very happy being gone from him. In 3rd grade, in our new old house, I met my new best friend, her mother, father and older brother, and her little sister. Their grandmother lived just across the street from them. She...

Ephesians 5:22-24 22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Soon after I had decided to stay with my husband, a very loved sister in Christ brought up submission to my husband. My first thought "are you kidding me? I just decided to stay with the man that destroyed my heart, left me in a black hole of despair, and now you want to discuss submission to him?" I had and still have enormous amount of trust and love for this woman or at that time I would have just decided she was crazy. She went on to say not submitting...

Dear Jesus, I want to thank you so, so, so, so, much, because you have done so much for me. More importantly, you have endured so much for me. More importantly, you have endured so much for me. Thank you, for you went through Hell for me. Literally. Flogging, beating, mockery, betrayal, crown of thorns, abandonment, false accusation, purple robe, crucifixion. I'll never understand how you coud love me, or anyone, so much. Was I really worth it? You say so, but I just do not see how I could be worth so much suffering. Crucifixion is the most painful method of execution in history. Why?! Anyways, thank you very, very much, Master! I love you too! Love, R Lars
