2 Corinthians 5 (please read if you so desire siblings. I pray the Holy Spirit leads my prayer in Jesus name, amen.
Father, A new week has started and another day has begun. We all have our struggles, our hurts, our grievances, and our stresses. We do indeed groan in this tabernacle that is our body. (Verse 4) We are burdened. We desire not to be unclothed but clothed upon. That mortality might be swallowed up of life. The Life that is Jesus Christ. This earthly house is not our home. If it dissolves we have another house made not by hands, eternal in the heavens. (Verse1)
As we take this broken bread which is His broken body And drink this cup of the vine (wine/juice) which is His blood for the remission of sins and of the new testament
Remind us the of the goal. Remind us of Jesus Christ. Who died on that cross and rose again the 3rd day that we may be present in that heavenly home with Him for life everlasting.
In Jesus name, amen.

Bless you so very much for your scriptures and your understanding. I talked to Slechta about this too, and I should not have bothered either of you with it. I was just feeling bad because he called me a hypocrite and a sinner and that I cheapened prayer. When I read the verse in Matthew that he posted, it made me question myself. For a while I felt as if I'd lost my joy and that I had actually been sinning. But then I asked God about it, and I read Slechta's reply and now yours. I am so thankful I have friends like you. As long as I have friends who understand, I shall not feel so bad when I am persecuted again. And I still feel that this is what God has called me to do. I go on different sites to uplift people who are feeling down, need prayer, or simply need a bit of hope. I suppose today, Satan just couldn't take it, so he sent that man to put me down in the dumps and question myself. Well, it's not going to happen. I'm not going down ever.
So thank you for your precious prayer you sent for me. I know God heard it and that this is what he wants me to do. Keep praying for those who need it. Even we need prayer and uplifting sometimes. Bless you and Slechta, and have a blessed wonderful day. Love you all.
It's about your motivation. We are certainly supposed to pray together with others--lots of scriptural examples of this--what we're doing here is just a high-tech method. What was being addressed in that passage in Matthew was people who were praying in public because they wanted others to see and be impressed with them. Their focus was not on God Himself or on truly building up those who were listening/agreeing. Yes, if someone is praying online for the purpose of getting "likes", etc, that's a problem in their heart, but only the Lord Himself can accurately judge that. Lots of people misjudged Jesus' own motives and actions, too, so we can expect the same, even at times from people who genuinely mean well. If you know before the Lord that your heart is where it should be, you have nothing to fear from prayer. ? God bless you, Sister!
Thank you for being so understanding. I think I took care of the problem. After I told him what I thought about the matter; I closed with and I forgive you. He did NOT come back after that. God bless you for caring and your concern. I was simply feeling down about it and began questioning myself. It was another of Satan's tactics to rid me of my faith; but he will never win. Thank you again, I am going to pick myself up and carry on what I was doing before. I'm not going anywhere.
We love you too Mary. Cleve to the scriptures, to Jesus. The Holy Spirit. The incarnation of God's Life manifest in flesh and Spirit. The Bible is our Instructor; Not man's interpretation of it. I read this verse and it stuck out to me today:
2 Corinthians 6:1-10 (I urge the whole chapter though. These verses spoke to me this morning)
1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
" as deceivers; yet true."
Is not the very gospel that the sinners are now righteous by the Seal of the Holy Ghost upon belief in Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection to wash same sinners clean of their iniquity?
God bless you in Jesus name too.
You always seem to find the right scriptures for the right time. I think God put us together on here for a reason. I think God put us together to team up and fight all this injustice and lift each other up in our time of need. Thank you for being here for me. God bless you for all you have done for me. I'm not going anywhere. I am carrying on as usual. I can't let one person whom I believe Satan threw at me, to ruin my entire life. I'll talk to you later.Thank you.
By the grace of God in Jesus name, the Holy Ghost gave them to me so all glory to God in Jesus name, amen. I look most forward to hearing from you sister.
I just posted a rebuke on GAB. I put the scripture you gave me yesterday about "Where two or more gather I am in your midst." I said that if I offended anyone with my prayers and they thought me a hypocrite, then "let him who is without sin cast the first stone." I am waiting for some replies, because I told them that I was NOT praying to draw Attention to myself for Likes and Reposts. I did say however that if they gave a reply/comment to my prayer; that I took it they were in Agreement with that prayer. I'll wait and see if that man comes out of the shadows again. I've already told him I forgave him. NO I did NOT mention any names. He knows who he is. Anyway, God bless and I pray that I make him understand. If he doesn't, it is no great loss. I am doing what God told me to do. Talk to you later. Have a blessed day.
