**2010 Random Christian Thoughts Thread**

[nicola.kirwan]

There's a canon lawyer of the church who I don't trust to give me a full answer. Why? Because it is deplete of knowledge of the very culture regarding the cultural practice I'm asking about as to whether it's syncretism or not, allowable or not?

So now I have to go seek somebody else I don't know nor where to find him about it, hoping that I am provided with a similar answer that I found on the Net regarding the practice. It's like, we weren't overtly raised in it and nobody up here practices it anymore...so then, who to ask? Only my mother's side is catholic. Shrugs. Who I'm going to ask? I don't even have the name of the interviewed. And only my maternal uncles knowit...but they live very far away and are sickly now. Geez! I'm practically the only one trying to get the family to look at it again. God knows, we need that healing.

What's the practice?

Sweat lodge. It definitely involves God but he thinks it'll send a wrong message to others. Um, I'm not aiming for others, I'm aiming for completeness in myself :lachen:

I don't wanna put myself at odds with my church. It's a serious issue. I just need to find a priest who knows what he's freaking talking about culturally to say "yes" or "no" and why. I can't take an answer from somebody who doesn't even know squat lol! I'm leaning more towards "yes" myself....but I don't wanna put myself at odds. It's just how it is. But thanks. Cuz this white man stuff ain't quite cutting it 100% for me. It's a long story.:nono: :lachen:

An FB Friend posted this today.. just had to share it.. :)

"If you ever allow anyone to place a ceiling over your head, in existence, thought or action every action you do from that point on: spiritually, mentally and physically will slowly build walls that will eventually reach that ceiling,.....& therefore entomb and trap you into their shortsighted, selfish & disgusting cell of bondage...."

~SELAH~

[luthiengirlie]

You are so beautiful and loving and POWERFUL YHWH. ONLY YOU could reduce me to tears and I'm okay with it. Its time for me to step aside and let YOU do.

Over the mountains and sea your river runs with love for me. I will open up my heart and let the HEALER set me free. I'm so happy to be in the Truth and I will daily lift my hands and I will sing of Your love forever.


Show Yourself Shaddai, Show Yourself Strong, Show Yourself Elohim in the mist of the storm. In times of trouble Adonai GIVE me a song, Show yourself mighy, Show yourself strong

People mention Psalm 91 but do not understand the full implications of it. It means if you are under His care and the area you are in is under judgment, you will see others, even friends and family, suffer and die all around you. Are people prepare to face that?

[luthiengirlie]

Says YHWH My soul cries out as stated in scripture: PLEASE DON'T ABANDON ME, THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS. But You YHWH answer me in love,"But I who began a good work in you,will complete it until the day of Yahushua"

[LifeafterLHCF]

Im happy my situation is turning around may have to still eat up a fee but at least it's on the way Amen

[OhmyKimB]

OH GOD! I just want to say thank you. I forgot that prayer too. And really it's funny I asked you about friends when my very best friend walked out of my life and ripped apart my heart. And everyone who has ever meant a lot to me is walking back in. And some people I would never expect to hear from.

You keep helping me and trying to teach me while I complain. You have people doing and saying things they don't understand, or what they feel is super random for no reason, because your doing it for me. I just want to say thank you! I have so much I can say but I will type it later or write it in my journal

[Vonnieluvs08]

Lord,

Please continue to provide me with sound wisdom and not bias opinion. Let me speak my words in love and concern. Grant me the peace to turn to you as things become overwhelming so that they never become unbearable. Teach me that there is no right way just our way (yours & mine) on how to love and relate to each other. Quiet my fears and anxiety as I remember Philipians 4:6. In your sons name I pray. Amen

Love and peace, respect for all....sure. But our faith/religion is being hijacked, pure and simple.

[PinkPebbles]

I thank God that He hears our prayers.

Our prayers are not in vain neither repetitive but stored up in the heavenly realms.

Keep praying; Keep fasting; Continue to persevere because the power of God is definitely at work.

Revelations 5:7-8
7He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

Revelations 8:3-4
3Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. 4The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand.

God hears us...

[LovingLady]

We have to pray for the people of the world.

[luthiengirlie]

Yes he will and the tinnitus will stop

[SND411]

Love and peace, respect for all....sure. But our faith/religion is being hijacked, pure and simple.

I'm not sure about that.

I heard this verse today and I think it is so beautiful

Proverbs 21:1

"The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will."
