[__ Prayer __] Need Prayers For My Neighbor

[Willie T]

.............................. and I pray that you will offer yourself as an active participant in whatever God leads you to do.

A la ocasion la pintan calva. And don't give yourself excuses to wait.

Sí, aprovechar el momento

Isn't it sad how many people will adamantly deny Christ, but as soon as they have a problem they come running to Christians saying "pray for me/us"?

If God heals this woman, it probably won't be for her own enjoyment of her own continued life here on earth, but will be more for and example of His reality to her, her husband, and who knows how many others that will bring them to Himself. Only God knows if that will happen or not, and only He knows if anyone (not necessarily just the woman or her husband) will accept Him as a result, or just continue to mock Him after the healing's done. I pray that God heals her and that this will bring people to accept and glorify Him. But the reality is that only God knows if this will happen or not. The faith we as Christians need to have is not that God will do as we "command" but that He will do as He wills to bring glory to himself. I pray that he will heal this woman in a way that brings great glory to Him and causes those around to fall down on their knees and accept and worship Him. More important than even the saving of her earthly life is that God glorifies Himself and draws people to Him.

It is kind of sad, but I think it's ok because that's where a lot of people meet the Lord...in the valley. It may just turn into an epiphany of the heart for (them).

Sure. When God leads me to a door, I will certainly walk through it.

Sure. When God leads me to a door, I will certainly walk through it.

Just be aware that He seldom drags us to that door... for me, He has usually just kind of looked at me, then sort of cocked His head toward the door... and let it go at that.
I'm embarrassed and even ashamed to admit how many times I was glad that's all He did... so that I easily just dismissed it.

And, sadly, a few of those times came for me while I was standing beside a casket.

 

[Edward]

Funny you should mention that. One time i found myself beside a casket and I had an intense unction to raise them up...I chickened out. I still wonder what would have happened if I had even tried.

:neutral

 

[Willie T]

Well, for me, those casket moments were reminders I shirked off, of what God had been urging me to do months earlier.

 

[Edward]

Whoa. i wonder what happened to my neighbors. They're ghosts lately. I wonder if they went out of town or something? Gone with the wind...
