    Description: I never dreamed of doing something like this before because of the hurt, loss and depression I have gone through in my past years. Though I must admit I am still perplexed in the ways of the world I forgive it for the pain it has caused me. I do not believe that the worlds' will die away before it sees the second coming of Jesus and the Lamb of God,Truely some believe that Christ has already manifested Himself here among us in a spritual sense. Honestly, I too have experienced such a visitation by someone coming unto me and thus making a deal I believed I deserved. Writing a check, persay, that I could not cover. Soon there after I found myself falling into a downward spirl. When things of this world started coming unto me way to easily, even though I was living a life of sin. Which led me to become doubtful because I so wanted to believe,so badly,that it was God whom was doing this that I, even for a time, gave-up believing the ressurection of Jesus The Christ. I had surived a near miss (no injuries), being clincly dead (on the operating table), and serious injuries due to a wreck (awakening). Still I would not believe that the world was wrong and that the only way me was Gods' promise. I even had begun to twist Gods'word to mean whatever I wanted or thought I needed at that time. Man, was I ever wrong and for that I have payed dearly. I to this day am shamed for what I did, but believe I am forgiven, through Jesus. Knowing now fully the promise of Gods' will, will be done. I surely cannot hide myself from God and His judgements passed down on me by way of His will. In disciple, correction, or reproach like a father unto a son, He shows me my wrongs even if I didn't believe it. We can be warned as I am even now warned to turn around because I come unto not as a clean vessel from earthly things. Still having uncleanliness dwelling within me, in as much I am anything but flawless. Through Faith I may yet find mercy from God by way of Jesus Christ. Surely this is the only way because I am weak within my own existence. We will be saved by either of the disciplines He gives unto us through correction or righteousness. Truely God does not come to us by way of Himself but through His Spirit which dwells in us all. With the advocation of the Jesus Christ risen from the dead I too may be forgiven for not knowing righteousness, but by becoming dead to sin. Although I know that part of me may feel dead there is yet another part of me that will never die. God willing, that my soul may be saved by Faith in the Grace of Jesus Christ, that is all I have, I know, because I am not righteous. Truely the soul is a gift from God for us all, and that which He has given none other can take, unless it is our will to let it go and to make a deal. If we choose to follow after that which is obtained by our own works and doings, is Gods' promise of salvation through Christ made void? Surely not, so long as when we come to our day of judgement we choose uprightly. Even if its not until that day, our souls will be saved, and our souls will not be blotted out of the "Book of Life", God willing. After all evil is cut out by the Lamb of God from among us. We will all dwell with God and His Lamb forever and all eternity. Evil will be abolished from the earth and a new truely good Heaven will be left in existience for us all to enjoy. Lastly I must praise God always for His infinite goodness and mercy which without I would not still be here. May your way be made clear unto us all so you find us not sleeping and pass us by. which is why I fear God because He alone is all I've ever truely desired no matter the chioces I've made. I may be a light to those whom here my words and understand and unto those who do not I pray that you stand righteously in the face of our Heavenly Father,God above,whom created all in and of this world that we inhabit. So none of us fall unto the serpent, which is satan, or be influenced by his demons to our own destructions. May God truely have mercy onto us all with a great mircle with the coming of Christ.

    Prayer Chg Things
    Category: Angels
    Status: Member
    Description: Seems like others come into groups and ask for prayers some for divorce, others sickness, and the prayer circles are not functional. There is something to be said for being able to know or read that others are praying over you. That was one of the things I Really liked in the old Beliefnet community. People were praying for each other, and in this decade we are very much in need of prayer the bible says to pray without ceasing. Also two or more standing in agreement is a way of having prayers answered. If you are a prayer warrior here is a place for you. If you are a praiser, well the way to get your prayers answered is to have an atmosphere of praise lifting up holy hands, God inhabits the praises of his people. I Did a forum on the POWER OF positive prayer based on a book I READ and highly recommended, so if you have a need, you might go to some bookstore and order this book its a great beginning effective way of praying. Some denomitions have servants who have dedicated thier lives to making intercessions for others.So here I Am intiating this group to send up some serious prayers, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray then I WILL Hear from heaven and heal their land. This is a call for prayer going out in such a time as this. IF you need prayer for healing deliverance restoration, repentance, comfort in a loss suffered this room decrees you are welcome

    Description: I have pondered the chakras, which in yoga and tantric thought refer to energy centers. The word “chakra” refers to a wheel. Thus the spinning wheel or chakra is associated with energy. There are seven primary chakras located along the spine starting with the first or root chakra at the base of the spine moving up the spine to the crown chakra at the top of the head. I’ve read a lot about chakras, talked with friends and tried to learn as much as possible. I’ve opened this group to invite others to share their knowledge and experience with chakras. I’m hopeful this will be a place where people can talk about how they have experienced energy and how the concept of chakras has helped interpret experience. I can envision both theoretical and experiential conversations around the topic.
