Homosexuality is a STRONG spirit. I believe it can be
passed down to the next generation, if it is not delt with spiritually. The thing we need to remember is that thru all that, the Lord loves the person, not the situation. However, if this like him, will submit to the ministry of men who have been released from this problem by the power of the Holy Spirit, they will see things in
a different perspective. I will say, having worked in
offices that were predominately "gay", that it is a stronghold that many dont ever have to deal with. The wonderful, feeling, sensative men that are "bound" by this spirit, deserve true deliverance. Eagles Nest, or
Exedous are people who understand. I have 2 male friends who were delivered totally from that life style and have been happily married and serving God for decades.

I often wonderif they are shocked for the child, or how it makes them look. I hope that we can be shocked at what is happening to all our children, not just a pastor's child. My goodness. Where is the true burden. In shock or in people traviling before the Lord for these young people.

Good organization. I am not gay, nor have I ever been in that life style, but have worked with those who were and they were so unhappy deep down. This is a good orginization. I know that everytime they meet, healings and deliverances come about. God bless them.

Show More Love to End Youth Violence, Says Former Gang Leader

Mon Jul 14, 2008 9:05 pm Agree: 1   Disagree: 0

Preaching can come in actions as well as words. After working as a teacher and youth leader with underprivledged children for 50 plus years, I find the fruits of the Spirit in action, draw more youth to Jesus than talk. Love is the KEY. That is what Jesus did.
It is not for us to judge ministers. The word of the Lord is for all to see and do. I get hurt when we start
doing what the word says for us not to do.
I work with the "hard cases". The bitter and angry cases.
When all else fails, ask the Lord for His love, and the wisdom to administer it in the most effective way. You won't get them all, but it will bring many.

Some 'Healing Revivals' Draw Even Pentecostal Critics

Critize it and miss out. I am reminded of the pharasis who said, "I thank God that I pray more than ye all". WHO
in this world, can critize the Living God and discern who
He would move. "Ye shall know them by their fruits". Each
"group" who refused to recognize the next move of God has drawn a circle around them and missed out on more of
Jesus. Thus, hundreds of demonations.......Hee takes the
foolish to confound the wise. Believe or not, I cant see how the Lord would ever be at least bit "bottered" by whether one believes or not", "These signs SHALL follow them who believe". What, no sermon? What, no fasting? How about the fasting and the word that gone up for years to produce this present reality of Jesus in our midst. What, no form or order of service? MY GOODNESS.

Apologist Debunks 'All Religions are Fundamentally the Same' Claim

Only the sacrifice that Jesus made for us as the Son of Man, enables us to have a personal relationship with Him through our "blood covenant" those who have accepted Him as their Saviour and join "His family" are the only ones who have a relationship with " THE LIVING GOD". How many people have a relationship with the other gods? If you have this relationsip, you know it is real and exists.How can you explain it to someone who has no relationship with the Father. You cant fault a blind man for not seeing, however, that blind man cant fault one who sees either.

The Holy Spirit is the only Person who can prove the existance of Jesus as Lord. It is not a matter of personal debate. Either you chose to believe, or you don't. Why do we continue to think man can possible prove God?

Seven lessons from Paul on how to last in ministry

marteblackmon »

Thu Jul 10, 2008 3:25 pm Agree: 0   Disagree: 0

I think the most difficult thing to do when one is in the ministry, is to keep it in their mind that they are not responsible for the outcome of peoples choices. We must not be so intraspective as to "tear our selves up"
over our failure. It we feel that way, are we not calling God a failure? Thank the Lord for his faithful servants. However, let us not die prematurely, forgetting the grace and mercy of God for all of His human creation, and the sacrifice He made, negates our need to feel like a failure.

Emerging Pastor Encourages Open Talks, Preaching on Homosexuality

Homosexuals are decieved that they were born that way.
I love them, but their lives do not give the credit to
our Saviour, who is the great Deliverer and Healer. There is Nothing impossible for God. Let us pray that that message can become a reality to those of our friends who remain in that life style.

Obama's Joshua Generation Project Hits Legal Rift with Homeschoolers

Mr. Obama needs to forget trying to "woo" anyone. He can simply just be an honest, forthright and humble man, who only wants the best for this country. The election must be baised on the preceeding into about him, not the fact that the Joshua name will possess the land. Those who are honest, hardworking and willing will be the ones who are going to possess the land. Not some particular
group with a Bible sounding name. How many Bible carrying believers are NOT honest and hard working and
not possessing anything, of their own choice. PLEASE.

Obama Accepts Jackson's Apology for Crude Remark

I feel sorry for J. Jackson. He has always forced himself into places, never really having the full authority to do anything substancial. Now he thinks that running for president is a racial thing. If Mr. Obama wins, my suspicion is that he will only try to unite the races, not make one more superior than another.It's time for the whites to realize their errors of the past and repent. It's also time for the blacks to forgive the sins of our forefathers, of which we had absolutly NO control, and forgive us. Otherwise it will never be any thing different. We have to step out and make concerted efforts to under and accept one another.

I think it is a little presumptious for people to try and put all conservatives in a box. I don't want to be in a box. I have the help of the Lord,not public or conservative opinions to help me decide on my candidate.
I think we need to read in back of the lines with ALL
candidates. I don't like being lumped into a mold with other conservatives. I want to think in my own conservative style.

Study: Residents in Catholic, Mainline Church Communities Live Longer

Mon Jul 07, 2008 4:44 pm Agree: 0   Disagree: 0

I can say that most of the churches in my city have a concern for the community and are doing what they feel they are called to do for others. I feel that the more of the Holy Spirit that is resident in a person, the easier it is for him/her to feel the needs and cares of others. I too would like to see where these stats are coming from.

Let's all look to the Lord about what He thinks we should do, and NEVER forget one thing, He is King of Kings. Not Obama or McCain, or anyone else. We are to pray for our leadership, whom ever they are and trust God for the rest, as "all things work together for our good" when we
trust His Name.
