PRAYER REQUESTS – – – WHO DOES THAT ?

July 13, 2024 By Leave a Comment

Prayer requests—who are they for ?

Prayer requests—how do you do that ?

Prayer requests—do they work ?

– – –

You may have heard something on radio or tv or from a church, inviting anyone to send in prayer requests–and they promise their prayer team will pray over your requests.
You may take that seriously, maybe not.
You may never have sent in your own prayer requests.

Asking someone you don’t know to pray for you is great, if their ministry is Biblical, and if the offer to pray for you is never associated with giving money.

Bring your prayer requests—your honest needs—down to a personal level, and people you have a personal relationship with.
Broadcasting your prayer requests on social media is definitely not where it’s at spiritually (danger of “casting your pearls before swine”).
Meaningful personal relationships with individuals you trust, are not built on line.

A good foundation for building a prayer partner connection, a prayer warrior, is praying together, in person.
That is the spiritual version of building any personal relationship connection—time together, in person.
THEN, sharing everyday stuff, highs and lows, and prayer requests right away when you need help—then you can use the phone to talk or text these personal items with that special friend.
I caution against sending group text prayer requests, except in emergency.

By the way, “Prayer requests—do they work ?”
YES ! YES ! YES !

Don’t miss out on the blessings of having a trusted person who prays for you, for anything, any time.
Can we admit our deepest needs, even our weaknesses, to another believer ? Yes, indeed !
Reluctance to ask someone for specific prayer for specific needs, thinking I should handle this myself, likely also means a reluctance to ask God .

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

God’s Help Forbidden
Evolution (just animals)
‘Counseling’ (for acting like animals)
Sex Education/Experimentation

– – –

What’s so hard about the answer ? A
Why is there even a debate ? A or B
Someone must have an evil agenda ? B
How can we go back ? A
Can we go back ? A
People say we don’t want to go back. B
What ? A

– – –

THERE IS HOPE. A
Maybe not nationwide, but you can ‘make a difference in someone’s life, in the parts that are for keeps.’ That is A ! ! !
Talk to somebody you know—A
Talk to somebody you don’t know—A
Talk about something basic, something creative, something Godly, something Biblical, something that you could do in your community—A

Remember before—A
What worked before—totally documented. A

– – –

God is not bound by national defiance against Him.
God is bound by our silence and caution.

It’s not comfortable for me to write this:
The opposite of bold is coward.
The first in the Revelation 21 list of eight who practice evil, headed to the lake of fire, is cowards.

RAPTURE

July 13, 2024 By Leave a Comment

“The Great Escape before The Great Tribulation”

Instead of comforting, there is something theologically scary about that repeated statement.
Fear of tribulation as motive to trust in Jesus surpassed fear of hell—stated clearly by not mentioning hell over tribulation.

Often repeated logic concludes rapture before Tribulation, because church is not mentioned after the first three chapters of Revelation, when the horrors are described in detail.

Likewise using logic, why should Christians read a significant part of the Bible that does not apply to us because we won’t be here ?
Every time someone offered to voluntarily address that question, the answer was a lame non-answer, with a rush back to more familiar territory, very much like the pattern of seasoned politicians.

TRANS PORN

July 10, 2024 By Leave a Comment

Consider this:
In a Bible study with men, I recall hearing this:
“If you have a problem that may be a potential addiction, then you should take steps to deal with it and get help.”

Somewhere behind that comment is a subtle, underlying idea that it doesn’t apply to the person saying it.
Test question, “Do you have problem, thinking a little won’t hurt, won’t affect you, because you don’t have an addiction?”
With secret, subconscious reasoning (not good reasoning), people talk themselves into ‘just a little’, saying it’s not as bad as . . .

But I didn’t say anything, because . . .
A guy talking straight about sex temptations, pornography, ‘transgender’ fantasies—will be judged, labeled with a ‘problem’.

Everything these days is couched in newscast-approved language, so nobody talks about this big problem honestly.
IDENTIFY AS FEMALE* is the universal scam from the evil one, the father of lies.
It is a lie, even when unspoken, and re-broadcast thousands of times to give legitimacy to indulging sexual fantasies in real life, or unlimited freedom with thoughts.
And every time it is mentioned, and promoted, and mandated, and then reported—male ‘identifying as female’ can use girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, showers—that is TRANS PORN (‘transgender’ pornography)—overnight proliferation of fantasies by anyone allowing thoughts in the mind without pictures.
One more domino fallen, in the culture gone over the cliff—no logic, no common sense, no restraint.

– – –

With some addictions, the offending problem must be modified, controlled.
With some addictions, the offending problem must be eliminated, zero tolerance.
The big issue is identifying which of the two categories you’re dealing with, honestly.

– – –

Give the devil a little finger, and he’ll take the whole hand.
or
“Abstain from every appearance of evil.”

*IDENTIFY AS FEMALE is just a clever ticket to sin of choice, and it abandons the fractional percentage of people with legitimate gender struggles, who need honest help, not the tsunami of devastation pursued and pushed nowadays.

MULE KNEW TEAMWORK

July 9, 2024 By Leave a Comment

Yes, I am able to share something for fun—in fact, two items.

This farmer was good to his animals and took care of them, just like a farmer today takes care of his tools and his tractor.

One day it rained very hard, and the farmer got his Model T stuck in the ditch before he got on the road.
So, he hitched one of his strong, dependable pair of mules to pull the car out of the mud.
The mule was plenty strong to do the job—but he refused.
This had never happened before, and the farmer never had to mistreat his mules to get them to work.

After awhile, he realized what he had to do, to motivate the big mule.
He got his other mule, hitched them together, and they both pulled the car out, willingly and easily.

HORSE KNEW SUNDAY

July 9, 2024 By Leave a Comment

Yes, I am able to share something for fun—in fact, two items.

This farmer was good to his animals and took care of them, just like a farmer today takes care of his tools and his tractor.
He also faithfully remembered the Sabbath, Sunday—did no work and went to church.

Early one Sunday it rained very hard, and his Model T got stuck in the mud before he got out of his driveway.
So, he harnessed his big, strong horse with plenty of power to pull the car out of the ditch.
But the horse refused.
What ? The horse never refused to work before, and the farmer never had to force the dependable, trusted animal.
Talking to the horse didn’t work.
Talking to God did—he got an answer.
The farmer went back in the house, took off his Sunday clothes, and put on his work clothes.
The horse immediately, willingly pulled the car out of the ditch.
And the farmer thanked God, and thanked the horse.

When eight decades of foreboding is over, and Joe Biden is handed ‘the football’, primed and ready for his coded signature immediately, he stumbles and drops the ball.

“just had a bad day”
couldn’t remember the code
Jill wasn’t there
just tired
bad time of day

JOE BIDEN IS A PERVERT

July 8, 2024 By Leave a Comment

Joe Biden is a sexual pervert.
Joe Biden calls his victims “domestic terrorists”.

Can it be any clearer ?

ANYBODY that pushes for letting males into female spaces is just as guilty of sexual crimes against women as the guys who act on this ‘freedom’.

! ! ! ! ! TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY ! ! ! ! !

July 8, 2024 By Leave a Comment

Wish I could put Fourth of July fireworks on this site to express my support and appreciation for TSC and their turning back to American values that their customers hold dear.

DEI and LGBT have no rightful place in our country, and no place in our country folks.

I’m thankful that I can now shop at Tractor Supply with the best attitude and outlook.
