[__ Prayer __] Please pray.

Hello family in Christ,

I have two urgent requests for prayer. :fadein:

The first is for little Emily she is one year and a half, and is having heart surgery today. They are repairing a hole in her heart that she was born with. Will you ask that she be blessed to have Jesus heal her physical heart, and fill the vaccum in her heart with His own precious Self? Also, for Bret and Ariel her dad and mom, who need the peace that passes understanding.

The second is myself, and my sister who practices lesbianism. We have not been in touch since my mom died about four years ago, and she has just contacted me thru my church. Pray for my heart to reach out to her in prayer more than ever. For my mind and witness to her to be honest AND full of grace. Please ask for the Lord to reveal Himself to her, to bind away the evil one's influences as we speak, and open her heart to the gospel. In these last days this could be my last opportunity to be His light into her darkness.

Please pray. And thank you. bonnie

Hi Bonnie, and sorry I didn't see this earlier. The week kinda got away from me.

How is Emily?

As far as your sister, you are truly the salt of the earth. May the Lord bless both of you.

Needed counsel and the courage of Jesus.

Hi fellows in Jesus~

I thank the Lord for your prayers, Emily had her surgery yesterday, she is in ICU recovering~ all went well, thank our Father in heaven. Just lift her little life up for complete healing- should this be our Father's good and perfect will for her.

Tonite I am calling my sister back, I am ashamed to admit I have been and am afraid. This has been a long hard battle thru many sad years of no visable change. My witness was so strong at first, then I was too concerned with retaining our relationship. Finally, at our moms funeral the dam of my deep concern for my three sisters salvation burst open, and I suceeded in offending them all.

For my sister to be reaching out now is something I cannot gauge, therefore I fear she wants to come to California to marry her friend, : and she is inviting me to attend. :-?

I know~ i just need to pray again, and call. Nothing comes into my life that is not common to my brothers and sisters, and that I may not be enabled to bear up under.

What would you do if your family member ask you to attend and celebrate such a wedding of theirs?

In Christ, and out of season. . . bonnie

Dear Bonnie,

God knows my heart goes out to you with this situation. Love her honey, and continue to pray without ceasing, that's all you can do. Honey in this situation your mere presence can offend because of the light of truth in Christ in you that infiltrates the darkness that surrounds them. I see a gift of discernment in you working. God always reveals HIS truth and the snares of the enemy. You are beening tested. God reveals to us at times the sins of others. Not to condon or condemn/judge, but so we know how to pray with the power of Christ that HE has given us.
So here we are standing in the gap with prayer. I can't stress this enough.....love her but not the sin. Support her in prayer but not the act of sin. If this is her plan to marry her partner of sin, in sin....this is her free will choice that God gives all of us. It's how we use our free will. Do we glorify the enemy or the Lord with our free will? But clearly let her know that you love her very much, as Christ love's us. But to partiscipate in this wedding is wrong, so go to the reception to let her know you love her. Afterwards set her down in the Love of Christ and talk and let her know your concerns about her soul and what the Word of God says and that you believe HIS complete truth, but that her free will is hers and hers alone. Just as you have free will.....God does not interfere with our free will and neither should you when it comes to your sister's preference. Be a living example of Christ in all that you do around her. Let her see Christ's Love in you for her, but more importantly let her see your love for Christ in what HE has done for you. Be gentle in how you speak, but be strong in what Christ speaks in HIS Word. I'm praying....

Kudos HIM,

I PRAISE Jesus for your post Carol, what a blessing! Im a grandma, and I feel as thou my mom just came along side me to minister as she often did before she died four years ago. Oh God is so very Good. How we all need to be mothered in Christ.
I will remember your godly advice, may our precious Lord bring His difference to me and my sisters conversation. Thank you agian for being His love to me.

Will you lift me up today? I am teaching S.S. 3rd graders and ministering to our deaf community in signing the music this morning. Often I am bombarded after I serve with harsh condemnation in my inner thoughts or sudden unbidden thoughts. The little foxes seek to steal my joy. May Our Lord Jesus hold your tender heart very near to Him this day. :fadein:

In His gracious Love ever~ bonnie

Precious Bonnie,

Honey you will be in my prayers daily. I have a prayer bowl, and in it are stones with the names added on them that I pray for. Yours has been added to my prayer bowl for daily prayer. I want you to understand something, please take the time to thank our Lord for HIS advice, I'm just a
tool/mouth piece that HE works through at time.....thank you Jesus. I am so thankful that our Lord has comfort your precious spirit. Abide in HIM, and HE shall abide in you. Basked in HIS presence, and allow HIM the gift to just simply love you. Take a quiet moment with HIM Bonnie, HIS love and embrace in those times is so overwhelming, and strengthens the spirit.

Just don't allow those dirty birds to nest in your mind when we have thoughts that don't glorify HIM. We all have them, but it's whether you decide to shew those dirty birds/thoughts away in the name of Jesus, or if you allow them to stay. Because once you stop shewing them away, that's when they nest in the mind and then soon the heart if you don't continue to simply shew them away in Jesus name. Keep striving for HIS mark/The Kingdom of Heaven. And condemnation is not of God......the enemy condemns to stop God's plan in HIS children. So apparently the enemy is threaten by you, cause God has a plan with you. So he attacks you with your love for your sister. Steal you joy of Christ and to steal the love you have for your sister. Oh thank you Jesus. Honey remember how the enemy works. He's not above the level of using our love one's against us to cause us to stumble into that ditch of despair so he can have his way. In other words the enemy is using your love for your sister against you. Keep those spiritual eyes open Bonnie, you're his target. Armor up in the Armor of God, dress for battle.....Christ is your strength. Remember that!!!! As you dress daily for school/work/church with your regular street clothes....literally walk through the steps of dressing in the armor of God. So as you put on your belt in the physical, apply the belt of Truth in the spirit. As you do your hair put on the helmet of salvation. Physically walk through these scriptures as you dress daily. If you have to, glue this scripture on your dressing mirror, or the wall.....but do it.

Ephesians 6:10-20 (For You Bonnie)
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in HIS mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the aurthorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth uckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place. 15 and with your feet planted/fitted with readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In additions to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kind of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 19. (my favorite) Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Bless you in the Mighty Name of Jesus......Let Him use your lips to speak those things your sister needs to hear to touch her spirit with HIS Truth/Love.

Kudos HIM,

Bonnie I had to quickly add one more thing. Have you ever notice that when you dress in the armor of God that there's nothing that covers the back? That's because Christ has your back covered.....Amen
