Finding A Church Acceptance?

[Ronny]

I'm a ex-Marine and street gang president. When I came to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior some 10 years ago or more, I started going to a mainstream Church and found out just how soft I got. I got hurt and hurt good. In giving my testimony and confessing my past sins to those in the Church body, those who at first welcomed me began to push me away. It finally got to the point where I thought that if these guys don't accept me then maybe God doesn't either. I have not been to a Church since. I've been living under condemnation for a long time. Recently I've undergone major heart surgery but before I go home, I'd like to take one crack at going to Church. For a guy who once thought he wasn't scared of anything, I'm a little scared of this. I desire to obey the Word of God concerning assembling myself with other believers because I forsook doing so for such a long time. Please pray that the Lord will guide me to the right place. I love the Lord with all my heart and would like to be around others that do too! Thanks Everybody.

Father God,

Please hear this heartfelt prayer and guide ### into Your good and perfect will. I ask Your blessing upon His life and for him to be able to forgive the "Christians" who hurt him. Please fill ### with Your Spirit in the name of Jesus the Christ. Amen.

Yeah...that is a real tough conflict. Believers are supposed to accept you, but they can't get past their bias. I will be happy to pray for you and your progress. I'm sure lots others will too!

Dear Brother - angels rejoice hearing your prayers and no condemnation can separate you from God's love. I pray that Jesus carries you, comforting your heart, healing your wounds, and taking away your fears. I pray for quick recovery of your heart. Jesus loves you. His love is enough for us, and his love will bring love of people around you. People can forsake us, but God never. I pray that you will soon find a church (or the same church) where you find acceptance, warmth and love. I am learning to pray for those who hurt me and believe that when we do so, many barriers will be removed. I pray in Jesus name for you.

Lord, I pray for ### to find a wonderful church full of fellowship that embraces him. Keep him close to you, Lord. God bless him. Bring Christians into his life that will love him and nurture his needs.

Father please lead ### to the right church. Lord I pray for your protection over him from others who do not love the way that You love but can only love to the best that they can right now. Lord bring the right people into his life to guide him in your truth. Give him the fellowship of other believers and help him to grow closer to you. Bring him to a church that loves how you love. We know that there are no perfect churches but we also know that being part of a church is being part of the body of Christ. I pray for the blessing of fellowship for ### with others in the name of Jesus amen.

 

[Mandy]

Father continue to build faith in this your child that he may be free to praise your name. Remove from him all those detractors who are doing the bidding of the enemy who seek to stop your child from praising you. Lord, you are the source of light. Let your light shine not only on him who seek to do your will but those who are in the dark now. Father, take control of this child that he may once again find a place here on earth that he may worship together with his brothers and sisters in Christ. Cleanse him, bring him to a new life, and forgive him all that is past that he may share in your kingdom. I pray for those who claim to profess your name but does not what pleases you. May they come to truly know you. This I ask in Jesus name. Amen.

Father, I ask you to give ### divine direction and a divine appointments with others who will encourage and restore some of the things the canker worm taken from him. Heal his heart and show him there are truly those who care for real who love the Lord and love their neighbors. Touch his body and make him completely whole. In Jesus Name Amen
