Re: [FamilyofGod] Xorobaben

Hi Xorobaben,

The greatest lesson Kim taught me was about Bitterness. She told me that after the war she lived in bitterness, unforgiveness, anger and hatred. She was seaching for answers desparately. She wanted to know why her family and friends were so drastically killed and why she had to bear the ugly scars from the Naplam bombs. The answer came to her in a library in Cuba. She came across a Bible there. Her life was changed from then on. She compared her heart to a white cup full of black coffee. Black coffee denoting all the unforgiveness and bitterness. Jesus taught her to empty it and He helped her to wipe her heart clean. Once her cup was empty there was room for God's love to come into that cup and fill it to the brim. Now she says she is traveling the world spreading that lesson of Jesus' Love. When our hearts are emptied of forgiveness and Bitterness, God fills it with His grace and love. When love fills our heart we become new ambassadors for Christ.

Brother,

I had seen that picture of Kim Phuc. I marvel that Kim Phuc is believer now. Praise The Lord.

Your name is Xoro? Nice to meet you Xorobaben. I met the girl in the picture,Kim Phuc Phanthi (the naked girl running from the bomb during Vietnam war), couple of years ago. She is a UNESCO Goodwill Amabassador now. It was such a great privilege to meet her. I did an article on her. Her love for Christ is so phenomenal now.

Re: [FamilyofGod] Prayer request/Amanda

Dear Amanda,

You are a brilliant young lady with a smart head on your shoulders. You are going to be perfectly fine. May God bless everything that you do.

I can't wait to celebrate the day when your Thesis will be published.

Most of you know that I am working on my undergraduate thesis in psychology. This is a huge deal. It may mean being published. To do this I have to 1) do a literature review - meaning reviewing past research on my topic to see what has been found and what has yet to be found, 2) write a thesis proposal - this outlines my literature review, gives my proposed methodology for my experiment, and gives my hypothesis, 3) run the experiment and analyze the results, 4) write the thesis based on the previous steps.

I have my first meeting with my thesis advisor tomorrow. I need prayers for that and prayers to get this all done successfully before december.

Hi,

Definitely. It is true that when we get closer to God our life becomes more difficult and stressful. it is part of our religious growth. God helps us to persevere
and emerge stronger from all our worldly hurdles. We need to learn to live in perfect peace that comes from God, even if the storms of life rage around us. Nothing will touch a person who is rooted in God. I am glad that you are taking this walk of faith gracefully. We will pray with you.

"I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness…And I will give her her vineyards from thence" (Hosea 2:14-15).

Our Almighty Father,

We come to Your Holy presence with this child of yours and her son David. They come to You wounded, hurt and broken. Father have mercy on this daughter. Her trials are many and her hurdles are innumerable She has chosen You as her God, be with her and bless her from Your abundance. Strengthen her to rise above from her difficlties . May she look to Your face and be comforted. Take control of her life Lord and bring all things under Your guidance. Let her see hope and joy in You. May she walk in Your light .Bless her family and bring overall healing for the glory of Your name . This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord ,amen. Thank You Father, for being kind to us.

My ex husband won custody of our son with lies, twisted truths and true confessions of his that was ingnored by our judge in the trial.
My ex is verbally abusive and has an explosive temper and he even admitted that he did on the stand during our trail. The judge ordered him to anger management counseling.
The judge said that when I spoke of his verbal abuse and temper that I was being vindictive and self serving. When my ex admitted this, it was ignored.
Then she gave my innocent son to him all neatly wrapped up in a bow and gave me visits only..
I have been growing closer to God with each passing day and I am learing so much more about him.
And as I grow closer, Satans attacks are getting bigger and stronger.
I have been saying for days now that I will not let my faith my limited to circumstnaces and endings that I have here on earth because God is bigger than all of my situations.
I cry out loud, doubled over with pain and tears pleading to my God for help and to bring my son home.
Please pray for me and my son, David. That God will have mercy on us and bring David home.
I pray that God will not let David stay in that verbally and emotionally controlling and abusive household.
I do want my son to have a relationship with his father, but I do not want him to be under his daily influence.
I also ask the Holy Spirit and Jesus to pray for things that I do not know to pray for and ask for things that I do not know to ask me.
Please, help me. Please pray in agreement with me.

As with the rest of FOG, I stand in the gap for you in prayer because I feel your pain. I do recognize the you have a huge faith in God so never let go of his hand. God will not leave you nor forsake you. Keep on keeping on. He has great things in store for you. God will bless you to get your child back with you. Most definitely this is a spiritual war but God will fight our battles. God's children WIN!

God recover for this your child's baby so that she can nurture him as any real mother will do. We destroy the power of satan you are defeated. Pull down every strong hold by the power of Jesus Christ. Let your blood prevail over this and all circumstances. Protect this little one. Strengthen this sister with your divine power. Give her the courage and grace to continoe working in your Kingdom in spite of her trials in Jesus Name, Amen.

The joy of the Lord is Your Strength!

Touching Story – Barber Shop

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects:

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:

"I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist..
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?

Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's! why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
God loves you [:)]
