I do not know if it is me but I sense a very real attack on this forum in the last few days! Yes satan knows his days are numbered and he is working overtime. I am asking everyone on this forum to pray and stand against this evil force. I feel a very divisive spirit lurking around here lately and frankly I do not like it. God's word is clear that a House divided will fall! We need to stand firm in these last days lifting one another up not tearing each other down. I have no problem with differing opions but to attack the person is a totally different story. I am sorry if I may be coming off a little harsh I just feel we have to little time to be attacking the body of Christ. I feel we need to respect each other and most of all be loving and correct in the spirit of meekness. In the name of JESUS, satan take your little demons and GO! Father I am asking for you to replace the spirit of division with a spirit of love and unity! Lord let us not be deceived by satans lies. Father I pray that your body can lift one another up despite our differences. I pray this all in Jesus' name. Amen

AMEN and AMEN! Standing in agreement.

Standing in agreement.......

Add my very loud "Amen" to this. We are forgetting that the second Great Commandment is to "Love thy neighbor as thyself." And without charity, we're nothing. It doesn't matter how much we know or how well we walk the walk, if we mistreat our brothers and sisters. God is the one who is entitled to feel righteous indignation, so we need to cool our tempers. There's just no reason to lash out at somebody, even if we think we are right.

Amen!

God, please help us! Please lift a standard against it. I don't know why this is happening, but help us to not believe every criticism we hear. Help us as a group to refuse to believe evil about another unless it is blazenly obvious. And where we have failed to do this please forgive us, for we are as if in a furnace of testing. Please let only the dross dissappear, and not us! Do your pruning, but do be merciful! Remember that we are dust! And shied us from every evil thing. And also give the moderators wisdom. We surely need it. And may all this trouble serve only to bind us closer. Amen.

Yes!!! AMEN!!!

Lord please dress this forum in your armour and protect us all from the attacks that seem to be coming more and more fierce! We need you here among us to guide us. In Jesus' name I pray.... AMEN!

Love, Lisa

I'm standing in complete agreement with messiahscoming's post.

It is a lying deceiving spirit that causes dissention. Lord please forgive me if I have ever offended anyone. Just so there is no misunderstanding, I love and appreciate everyone on this forum and my hope is to encourage. Please Lord let me not be misunderstood. Be strong and courageous!

"The enemy has risen up as a cobra that will not be charmed. He will be recognized by his intimidating behaviour, deadly bite, and hood which flares when he is angry or disturbed. He will spray his deadly venom from a great distance. I say to you My people, that this is a religious spirit that seeks to destroy, but his weapons are only in his mouth. His venom consists of lies and deception, hatred, anger, and intimidation. Haven't I said that NO weapon formed against you shall prosper? I have given you power to trample on serpents and scorpions and over ALL the power of the enemy so that NOTHING shall by ANY means hurt you. The enemy is under your feet. You are the seed of the woman whose heel bruises his head. Take your authority, which is by the Spirit, and do not war in the flesh, for you are no match for this devil in the power of your flesh. The weapons of your warfare are not carnal. Rise up in the power of My Spirit and exercise your authority."

Your "perfect" obedience will initiate a "series" of confrontations. These confrontations will be of major proportion(s) concerning the establishment of My Church and the revelation of My Kingdom. Do not "balk" at these things for they are not something to be feared, but rather something to marvel at and glory in. Take no thought for "physical circumstances" for they are "meaningless" in light of the end result. "Perfect" obedience shall ensure the "proper" circumstances and corresponding actions. Concentrate on walking in love, regardless of what - or who - crosses your path. Now is the time for My household to be "purged" of the filth and squalor and lies and darkness which have been allowed to pervade the hearts and minds of many of My children. I have trained you well, My beloved one - and indeed, the motivations of your heart are pure before Me and without "guile". Let it be clearly understood that each one of My children must keep their "spirit man" in ascendency over soul and body constantly if they "choose" to fulfil My call upon their lives!

Oh Father I thank you! I already sense a calming spirit since I sat down to the computer. Lord you are so awesome and I praise You! You are so worthy to be praised. Father I stand in agreement with all of my brothers and sisters here. I pray that Your purifying power sweep through this place. I pray that when You are through with each of us that just as Shekel has stated that all of the dross be removed, and a reflection of You is all that remains. Lord forgive me, cleanse me and make me like You. In Jesus name, Amen!

Your Friend in Christ,

I sense a calming spirit also...Holy is His name!

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together! I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears! O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him. O fear the Lord, ye His saints: for there is no want to them that fear Him. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry. The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth them and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plentious in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will He keep His anger forever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him, for He knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children, to such as keep His covenant and those that remember His commandments to do them.

Oh yes Maz! Such comforting words. What a Mighty God we serve.

Your Friend In Christ,

Yes, I am definitely in agreement. I have been praying for this-for unity, love and compassion with one another.

I too feel the time is short and we need to love one another-even if we may not agree on certain issues, we can still be loving and kind to one another. If I am not known for anything but the fact that I love Jesus and He loves me and that love carries over to others-that is enough for me in this life.

I love people and care about them. Each and every one.
Let us hold hands, hug each other-we are united in Christ.
We are all waiting His return, so while we are waiting,let
us show the whole world that we truly love one another
and care for each other. We can do this while witnessing to
the lost.
Witness and pray that they too will be anxious to see Jesus return.
I am anxious, but I know we have work to do. And our work is not to
to have strife with one another but to love and go forth in victory.

We already have the victory through Jesus Christ. Amen!

I say we should hide for awhile!

When we are overwhelmed and it's hard to see clearly,
we should retreat into God. He's always there, ready to shield and protect us whenever we call on Him. Once we are hidden in God, we can seek what is
true, what is important, and what he would have us do next.

Not just on the forum, but the devil is out full force everywhere.
You can just feel it in the air. So we must have our armor from the Lord
on daily. Let the arrows bounce off and go forth in love. This I pray.

Sending you all a hug. The enemy is trying to drive us nuts. I tell the devil
take a hike, I'm nuts about our Lord and I'm staying that way.

Love you all and I wish I could hug each and every one of you.
It is I that need all of your hugs too. Hugs are just good all around
don't you think?

Great advice Rosie! You are such a refreshing person, and a great joy to be around. I pray that the Lord bless you for being such an encouragement to others.
There is no doubt that you have taken your own advice and found that place of retreat with the Lord. It shows you look like your Father!

Love ya,
Valerie

I was praying on this subject this morning and a message came to me in spirit.
"Beware of wordy, confusing or complicated theology, my message is simple and true".

1 John 4:

7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

AMEN! I always say keep it simple! So you can keep on truckin for the Lord and when the step bump comes, the jolt won't bolt cha out your seat.....

A perfect illustration of "where there is God, there is love".

There was a certain atheistic communist official. God gave him a beautiful daughter. He had his little girl on his lap and he was admiring how beautiful she was and how wondrously made and his heart was filled with love. Instantly he became aware that God was real, because such a beautiful creation could not happen by chance. So at great risk to his life and to his family he took his family and escaped to freedom and became a christian. His love for his daughter motivated him to seek freedom and God against all odds.

"Where there is love, there is God"

Valerie, thank you for your kindness. I think you are a beautiful person, inside and out. Your family is blessed to have you. I thank you for starting this thread. This too has been in my heart and mind. Yes I have had to take that advice, for our Lord wants our love to shine. The love that He first gave us. Just think about how much He loves us and we will just shine from His light in us.

I have been attacked lately and I can feel the evil in the air.We must always look to God for that is where our strength comes from. I know when I am weak, He is always strong and always there for me. Thank God for God, for I would not survive this mess that is coming on the earth. But we can take our broom and clean up the mess with the message of Jesus Christ.

He is alive and He is coming back for His children.
I have goosebumps just thinking about His return and how
much we all love Him.


Keep on fighting the good fight. We have Jesus on our side.
Hallelujah!!

Love ya,
have a gread day!

I have recieved comfort from every one of your messages.
I just want to thank you all.
I don't want to leave one person out, but every one that wrote
something on this thread, I just want to say I pray
God blesses you all.
You already are blessed for you are following our King.

Let us keep praising our Lord and the enemy just hates that.
Poof he's gone.

Our Lord is always with us.
Shekel, thank you again for this forum. I pray we can
always meet here, until Jesus returns and we all meet
Him face to face and meet each other.

Wow, that will be awesome indeed!

This is a now word. In unity we can and will stand against the wiles of the devil.
