Clio you sound like a real prayer warrior. I've been dealing with stuff all my life I'd like freedom from and/but, long story short, I'm not, and because I'm not, I feel my own efforts to pray are too feeble and tainted. I find praying very difficult. Would you be willing to pray for me as well? I was with Satan for over 15 years and I struggle with mental health issues and right now I'm having excruciating back pain and I'm out of work, unemployed for a year. Thanks.

Nico
p.s. I can send you my real name if it matters, via email.

Dear Nico -

Real names do matter. And I would be glad to correspond with you offline. I am.... working with someone who is being healed by Jesus of many of the same issues I'm sure you face.

If you would like to share more, please email me. I will be glad to pray with and for you.

If you are serious about breaking down the strongholds in your life and making room for all that Abba Father wants to give you, and the healing Jesus wants to place within you, I will help you with the Holy Spirit's guidance.

It is never easy to heal from the trauma inflicted on a DID MC survivor.

Clio,
God's timing is something 2 behold. I've been studying spiritual warfare armor, i.e.: belt of TRUTH; breastplate of righteousness; shield of FAITH; readiness to proclaim the Gospel, shoes; helmet of SALVATION; and, SPIRIT-SWORD, Word of God. I've heard preachers like Joyce Meyer and Charles Stanley talk about putting on the armor-of-God; so, I thought I'd learn them by heart! U give good advice!!!

Hi Bonnie! Aren't those teachers awesome on this subject? I did a study on Abba's armor some time back, when I first really began praying it... it's had the most amazing effect on our home. I can tell which day's I've skipped having that in my prayer time.

I guess I should explain that... sometimes... other considerations, such as daily requests, issues I'm struggling with, or health concerns are weighing so heavy on my mind that I focus on that instead of on the armor first.... and boy can I sure tell.

Although, Abba is good, and I believe the seeds I've earlier sown do bear fruit on those days, and much of the awful consequences are mitigated.

Perhaps a post on Abba's Armor would be a good discussion starter in the Free-for-All forum?

Clio - another one.. Actually.. it's not so funny at the moment. Please pray that everything could be ok. I have total mess in my life right now - related with school and work and church - everywhere something/somebody wants from me and I wanna also myself study well and pass my exams, make money for living, help people from church and outside and to do good work for God. But... it's too much for the moment. There's little I want - that the coming week could be ....... something that only God can do.

Thank you.

I will do so Mariann... He is an awesome Abba, and knows your needs before you even ask.

I would ask you this though.... is there perhaps something you should say "No" to? Sometimes the busyness of our lives keeps us from soaking in His presence.

I know you have committments now, but what I am impressed to say to you, is this.

Try getting up 30 minutes earlier than usual this week. Read one Psalm... and spend the rest of the thirty minutes in prayer.... Just say whatever pours out of your mouth and heart... and then spend 5 minutes in silence just listening.

And for what it's worth... this has never been my personal pattern... so you'll have to let me know how it works out! LOL!

Clio

Hey. Thank ya all for your prayers.

God had answered even more miraculously than any one could expect. Everything is SOO well in my and my little friend's lives and with my family and friends. I'm really thankful. Today I got two very important answers to my prayers that I had been waiting for a long time - and there was more I asked.

What a wonderful Father we Have, isn't it?

- that's me.

Have a nice Sabbath!

That's awesome Marianne!!!

Thank You Jesus! I'm taking you off the "urgent list!"
