Daily Prayer Thread !!!

Acts 22: 3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. 4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. 19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: 20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

One of the most serious things we do on this planet is following the Lord and a call from the Lord. One of the hardest thing to do, is to the opposite of all you where taught from birth. Paul loved God before he met Jesus and thought all he had been doing was for God.
One of the hardest things I have every done in my life, was not jumping in the car when my mom fell. That was the opposite of all I had been taught before I decided to ask the Lord what to do. I am called to write a message most every day when given one. Today's message is heavy and many times I can be Paul and say “but Lord .” But Lord shouldn't I go take care of my mom, but Lord no one reads what I write, but Lord..........................

After the Cross death became life. It was said to me you think there is an alternative to this life. I do not think there is , I know there is.
There is not one example in Scriptures where following the Lord was easy. From Noah to Paul it looks strange and the opposite of what is going on or been taught in this world.
I use to make following Jesus a past time, when I had time, not as the serious matter it is . If we drive our cars the way I followed Jesus, death is certain. I watch events on earth and the vehicle accidents are alarming of late . We do not take driving our cars serious and that can cause death . When we follow Jesus the same way, death is certain . The talk Jesus had with Peter in John 21 is all about saving souls. Paul had to forget all he had ever been taught and all the people he knew to follow Jesus.

John 3:3–7 is just one place of the seriousness of following. I only had to not do something I wanted this weekend , to understand how hard it is to follow. God knows things we do not , so ask Him before you even drive your car anywhere. God has to be first , if you have a spouse they are next in the list of priorities. People will not understand when you do the opposite of what the world says should be done.

Paul had to leave a life time of teachings, Peter had to leave his family. Jesus came down suffered and died for us. Jesus did nothing wrong and the world rejected Him , He said the same would happen to us. He now is our mediator in Heaven and to not make Him first in our daily decisions is to not understand the Cross. Not everyone is called to write a morning message. God is the only one that knows what we are called to do. Saul's parents , teachers and friends before he became Paul ,would have told him something different.

The most serious thing done on God's planet earth, is following and listening to the Lord. How we drive a car depends on life and death. How we follow Jesus determines life and death. We are all going to die one day, please read Ecclesiastes chapters 1 -3. If you believe and pray to God the Father ask Him how to start the day and what He wants. We are in serious times around the world and we do not know what the day will hold , but know the One that does.

If you do not know Him in a way to hear from Him of where to go or what to do today , get on your knees and talk to Him about it. He will answer in a way that is personal to you.... I had to learn the hard way about getting in my car and going when He said no, He knew something I did not. Treat God today as He is meant to be , Our Heavenly Father , ask Him and then listen , life and death depends on it.

Amen Love to all this week could be very bumpy

Praying for His will to be done and for the people of this nation.

Thank you for prayers for my niece, and brother and sister in law. They seem to have accepted it. She's no longer in pain and will be taken off life support soon... . Family and friends coming in today to say good bye to her. I'll have a full house.

Thank you all again.

Praying for all of you!


GFG - been praying for your mom. Glad she'll be okay.

abeliever,,,,, you and your family will be in our prayers.


Praying for all in need.

I have a slightly different take on Paul.

Paul didn't leave his entire "life time of teachings", he mainly left behind the Pharisitic teachings - the Rabbinical teachings & "mandates" like the oral Talmud.

He was "zealous towards God", Jesus' Father, the one who sent Jesus to the world. AND Jesus' teachings were not only ordained by the Father, but also an extension of what the Father had already taught.

"Repent" was Jesus very first teaching.

(Repent in the KJV OT)

Jesus also clarified issues about the Sabbath, the importance & nuances of worshiping the Father, and lastly, things about the kingdom of Heaven, which paralleled some of what Enoch had written.

Thread: Does Enoch Explain the Jesus / Thief "Paradise" & the "Lazarus / Rich Man" Places?

I have no doubt that Sauls's zealousness was part of the reason that Jesus chose him.

It was his previous "fame" and his subsequent 180* turnabout that made so many of the Hebrews hate him.

Peter and perhaps others left families, but it's not like those folks were left with no "support network". Their "new "extended family" would have helped to see for their needs (Acts 4:34-35 and Acts 6).

Agreed and Amen ,Friend

Praying for your precious Dad and son

strange I feel this has meaning

For those who may be interested

Prayers said for all.

Learning the Greek Orthodox saying of 'Apo Pantos Kakadamonous' (I wrote it so it is more easily recalled), which means 'be gone little demons', and having it memorized, worked to get rid of my sleep paralysis. Of course you have to have already found Christ when you do so.

Well, my statement worked, and Jesus never did...so we shall just agree to disagree, agreed?

Wasn't getting much actio so I pinned it.

While I am not even American, and am a Voluntaryist, and a 'heretical' Cathar to boot...

Heavenly Father
May America reclaim its soul tomorrow.
May America become the shining beacon of Freedom,
and the Christian bastion of the world.
May every American be blessed by your guidance to chose the correct vote.
Amen

Psalm 33

(1)  Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
(2)  Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
(3)  Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
(4)  For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
(5)  He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
(6)  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
(7)  He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
(8)  Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
(9)  For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
(10)  The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
(11)  The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
(12)  Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
(13)  The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
(14)  From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
(15)  He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
(16)  There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
(17)  An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
(18)  Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
(19)  To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
(20)  Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
(21)  For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
(22)  Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
