So if you choose a prayer, maybe say it eleven or a hundred times depending on your desire. Quoting: syncro Yes, do you have any in mind? Lords prayer is one of those! Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. |

This old bastard is one of the early boomers. He's around 82 and is a true boomer stereotype, some may even call him a wild man. Doing the rounds, visiting people in the neighborhood, seeing if there are any BAR B Q's or a spare beer. Calling me at 6:00AM to go rake up clumps of grass on his lawn. Quoting: musashi777 Its not sure he's going to kick the bucket, but he's diabetic (doesn't stop him from eating his favorite food: pie), and suffered a heart attack/ seizure. He's a "Christian", but im a little worried for him. I will put it to you this way, when/if he goes to heaven they may ask him to go on "time out" for a little while. So that's why im asking for prayers and scriptures for this boomer! These boomers that turned their backs on God act like they will live for ever. The guy could still easily pack away a pound of beacon for breakfast! Many wait until the eleventh hour to seek God and repent, but they die at 10:45. Hopefully he has made peace with his Creator, we shall see. Ordinarily the end of Revelation that describes Heaven is what I go too, but for sure the bible is teeming with appropriate scripture! Revelation 21:4 King James Version (KJV) 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. absolutely an angel came and gave me this one...and it is the most important one Psalm 23 King James Version (KJV) 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. |

Has he forgiven everyone in his life for any transgressions? If not, he is in very huge spiritual trouble. Meanwhile, have you been reading him the NT? Have you offered to hear his confessions? Have you laid your hands on him and prayed for him...his healing and his salvation, in the name of Jesus, through the Holy Spirit? While you both get to work, you certainly have my prayers. May God guide you both. |

When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar. You are only telling the world that you fear what he might say.

There is a crusade underway. Its all real, all of it, but, he doesn't want to be stuffed into a doorless cell in Purgatory. He needs to make a list of his sins, introduce himself to Jesus, say that he is sorry (and mean it) and promise to do these things no more. Jesus will spare him until judgement day where he will get a second chance. This is called "getting your name entered into the book of life." Nothing worse than dying then finding out its all real and Jesus says to you, "I dont know you, beat it".... and those who do not repent may not get a second chance. |
