Oh fig-sticks, I'm so disgusted it's taken this long to write again. This medical-type depression is a real real pain!!

Talking about pains I would so love it for a little extra prayer about my Sweetie's pains. Her cortisone injections into her shoulders have so far failed and she's in pain in one or the other shoulder/arm every day and during the day. Her final injection was today - takes just a day or two to show if it will work. She can't do ANYTHING at all without causing hours of pain later - yet things still have to be done, right... (I'm helping all that I possibly can.)

Meantime, she may have lower back pain any night and her legs driving her crazy. I should have photographed her bed the other morning from all of her threshing about trying to find a position where maybe nothing hurts for that moment. The sheet was pulled out at the bottom, and actually twisted and twirled up from bottom to top. The rest of the bed was also a disaster. My poor Darling!

I wrote a post in one of the other threads trying to help a guy who's got things really wrong with his beliefs. He would not listen. I wrote more strongly, and later saw it was wrong and quite inappropriate (this happened directly because of my high degree of current illnesses). I was quite APPALLED!! But the thread got closed before I could fix the post up! PM's of apology followed, but God was so gracious and it all turned out really well for everyone, including me... "But phew, Lord, please don't let me get carried away like that again!"

Answer to last time's question: "Our faith is SO important! But there's something that will prove that our faith is truly real. What is it?" - is a faith that is active and that WORKS. That is, automatically produces good works, for example ones to help others in His name without any hope of return. In general, Romans is the faith book, James is the other side of the coin with the works book. Both are an absolute essential for us all!

Today's Question: "What's the simple thing God's given us to do towards the devil to get him to leave us - pronto?"

Love and joy and peace to you!!

James 4:7

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

I always remember this scripture in regards to defeating the devil or the "pig"!

Was to the doctor today and not good news.. gained too much, blood pressure a bit high for me, and the sugar on the border. He ordered a ton of blood work and of course exercise.. I use to be crazy about exercise and dieting, but you know something bondman, when I was living in sin, it was easy to loose weight as I was doing it for the wrong reasons.. ie wear the sexy clothes, etc.. always wanted to look sexy and feel good.
Now I am living for the Lord.. treat your body as a living temple given to you by me says the Lord (found in Romans).. so I have alot of work to do in this arena.
Tomorrow is Care-a-van in the morning, then a bunch of us are going to help a gal who accepted the Lord about a year ago.. a gal I work with and Care-a-van ministered to her for over 8 years.. her growth has been amazing.

She and husband and daughter live with her mom who is disabled and they got notice from city that they have to paint their house, so we are trying to get folks to come help us tomorrow. Pray for sunshine!
Hugs and prayers to you and the Mrs.

God Bless

Haha, that's 1 out of 2 you've got so far!!

Yes, our self-motivations compared to our God-motivations can easily come out on the WRONG side, can't they. We sure are sinful beings! But praise God, saved and forgiven ones!!!

Will add your medical things into my daily prayers for you, hon! Keeping our body in decent shape that we may serve Him best is often not an easy matter in the West.

Hope the painting job goes well for those dear ones.

Tons of hugs!!

Thanks so much Bondman.. yeahhhhhhhhh 1 out of 2... not bad for a start.
Just got back from picking up the big lift for the family. Now got to get showered and hit the streets... lots of hurting people waiting for love. Dear Lord, hold the rain off!

Praise Report

Thank you to all who have been praying for the healing of my father's prostrate cancer. He was diagosed last November, and due to go Florida in January. Well in December the PSA level lowered a little bit, so he was allowed to go to Florida with no treatment scheduled.. ie radiation or chemo.

He was to follow up in the spring. The doc's office cancled the appt in April, then again in May my parents were getting frustrated. I encouraged them to keep praying and relax because I believed the Lord was completely healing my father. My father had gotten this awesome prayer card and he had begun for months now to pray healing over his own body.
Fast forward to today. My mom called and they had an appt today. When I answered she was crying so hard I could not understand what she was saying!

After I got her calmed down. she hollered. it went down, it went down. the PSA dropped from 2.63 down to 1.27!
He does not need any treatment at this time! They will monitor him again in November with a PSA and a Biopsy.

My mother thanked me for being their little prayer warrior. My father also had this awesome healing prayer he prayed over his body every day which he still does.
Thank you again to everyone for their prayers. This also just took like a huge boulder of weight off of me

Praying here for you and the Mrs., Bondman and Nick and his wife and all my friends here.
God Bless

That is just SO awesome, sweetie!! Wow, I just love the things that God does in response to believing prayer!

A weight off your mind indeed! We are all really HAPPY for you!!

Lotsa hugs!

Much love and blessings!

Made it to the dentist! Tooth is now 'all better' after my 'miracle' dentist got to work on it. Thankyou SO much for your support!!!

Three more teeth are in various stages of problems, but they're all currently 'holding', so we don't worry about them till something drastic goes wrong. All of these problems stem from my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome so far as we can ascertain. Hmmm!

With LOVE!!

Thanks a bunch Nick! Our wonderful God answered the prayers of the also most wonderful folks who pray for us, and I got through amazingly well!!

If you have any spare moments could you maybe update us about your wife's health?

Bless you, my dear friend!

Oh, I think I can write this today. How wonderful!

We're still battling along here in Aussie-land. It's tough, but we won't give up! On that subject, my ill-health is such that I daily 'fight' to keep going and stay alive. Since the medical depression hit and I lost nearly all ability to do things I just realised this morning that I'm now not able to fight as much as I have for many years.

Nothing I can do about that, as the m. d. has me hog-tied, so I just give this to the Lord Who loves me so much and always takes care of me. HE is God. HE does all things well. HE never ever ever makes mistakes. As He's promised me full healing I don't believe He'll let me die and leave Beloved all alone!!

Karen will take Beloved way across town to the Chiropractor tomorrow to try and get some relief from current head-pain problems that can totally wipe her out. After the Chiro "panel-beats" her from top to bottom (as I describe it *grin!*) she can't do anything for many, many days or it will totally undo all of his work. Often she's worse before she's better in any case.

Last time's question. Faithwoman's already given the answer to: "What's the simple thing God's given us to do towards the devil to get him to leave us - pronto?" Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. That's about as simple as you can get. No need to go on with other more complicated procedures. Just resist Him (say 'NO' to his nonsense), quote this verse, and God PROMISES that He WILL flee!!

Today's question: We know that good works WILL stem from true faith and are VERY important! Love for our brothers and sisters in Christ says we WILL do all we can to take proper, loving care of them and help them. But there's an even more major (and very serious) Scriptural reason to ensure we're doing this. What is it?

Much love to you, and you, and you... (and you as well! *smile*).

hmmmmm Ok I will give someone else a chance to answer.

Very interesting week-end. As we were having dinner on Sunday, mom , dad, youngest son and his giflriend and my parents neighbor, I started to tell her of the church I visited across the lake, My son put his hand on the table and stated " Mom this is a faith free dinner" I said what? He said it is faith free. I said I was just telling of going to church this morning and he said mom.. one conversation leads to another with you..
I was very hurt.. I finished my dinner, got up , got coffee for those who wanted it and excused myself to go down by the lake.
I prayed to our Lord.
Then we had a family fishing tournment and I was winning and the family was conversing back and forth on facebook. When I got home I posted I won, then my son wrote this:
u know how ur always preachin me.......i dont think ur God would like you to lie......."

Now I know he was joking around .. because he was saying eariler on I was lying about winning.
I did not respond... did not even give him an inch.
I am sorry.. but I will not stop preachin.. god has given me a gift.. and I so long for my family members to be saved.. but they have heard the message loud and clear and they have a choice.. it is now between them and the Lord.

It is very hot here in the 90's.. heat is getting to everyone.
Have a blessed week. We are having a party for my daughter's graduation and I heard one of my friends say to someone else.. well I suppose since Robin is having it, it will have to be BYOB (Bring your own bottle) I will not be serving alchohol even for adults.

I just want to scream some days.. and to top things off, I had to send a text message to "someone" to say please quit texting me and calling me..

I did look at a home to purchase for a woman's shelter, but the more I think about it.. my love and passion is on the streets.. Our God is not an author of confusion.. I just need to be in the word and keep seeking his will for my life.
Hugs to you and the Mrs.
Praying for healing.

I'm sad to hear that your son hurt you. It sounds like he may be being honest with you that he does not want more 'preaching'. We have to then be sensitive to what the Holy Spirit is saying. Sometimes we must respect their wishes, acknowledging their freewill and right to hear or not hear, and then just go to prayer. Like you say, they have all heard.

If the text message to 'someone' was what I think it was, I want to stand on the table and sing the Doxology!!!

You are very much a people person, and wherever He sends you it seems to me that it's highly likely to be to work in this area. Your gift of speaking the Gospel is very precious.

Thankyou so much for prayer and hugs!! Praying for you always for all that you do and for who you are in Jesus!

Love n HUGS!!

Yes I must be more sensitive, more importantly I just need to keep walking it out and let them see, maybe not so much by words but by my actions.
Yes it was that "someone".. Man I can't believe how long it has been , the journey with getting over all of that.. If i even get one text or a call coming in, it throws me for a loop. I had texted some not so Christ stuff and then felt horrible. but asked for forgiveness and realized I do not need any of that. After all, we cannot save anyone.

Speaking of sharing the gosepl, I will be speaking this Saturday morning at 9 am to the local Woman's International Aglow group. What an honor this is. Our walk some days is one moment at a time. I see where my passion is.. on the streets.. whether at work, the grocery store, care a van, the Lord will use me. My first ministry needs to be to my kids.. but again.. being sensitive.. thanks for the great wisdom there.

Tues nites have been slow here at the group. with summer and all many are busy. went for a walk this morning and was praising the Lord that I am not where I use to be. I really am praying for healing for you and the Mrs. I am so thankful the two of you are still in my life.

It is so important for me to remember that Jesus lives in me and the word says that No weapon formed against me shall prosper!
I pray you have a blessed day .. Oh and guess what! My daughter got a car... guess what she named it! Gertrude! .. so your Gertie has a friend here in USA!
I still have not figured out how to add images since things changed here.
Hugs
Faithwoman
 
Yes, the saying is that actions speak louder than words, and I think it's a good point!

It has indeed been a very long time, but I'm on the table singing the Doxology now!! And of course it's true that you have moved on, moved forward, and I know you'll continue to do this because of your love and commitment to the Lord Jesus!!

Wow, I'm thrilled about you getting to speak at Aglow!!

Thankyou for your faithful prayers. We're so glad YOU are still in our lives!!!

Hey, I think it's hilarious that daughter named her car Gertrude. No question that her transport and my transport need to get together some time!! *hee!*

Continuing in prayer for you always, that He will guide you, uphold you, give you His Spirit's power, and fill you with His wondrous love!

HUGS!!!
