Please Pray For Me

clip_image002

Jesus is with you 24/7 the poem below sums it up when we have troubled times and think Jesus is not with us. Whenever I get into times when I think Jesus should be helping in a serious situation that I can hardly manage and is at my darkest moments I tell myself 2000 years of Christian history has gone by. For a fact whatever I have gone through can’t compare with other Christians. Christians though plenty of testimony of wonderful works of deliverance and miraculous intervention by Jesus to our rescue history tells us it is far more common that we get killed or go through pain and suffering seemingly without help from God and our prayers seem unanswered.

It is by FAITH we believe not acts of God. Praise God when he acts in our behalf. It is our faith we maintain till the end through any circumstances that befall us.

King James Bible
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Faith is your COMPASS you can’t get lost. You are not off path crooked as it may seem.

Yes I will pray for you: God here Jalanten’s prayers, show him ways to renew his relationship with you, heal his physical needs. I Jesus NAME I pray.

Again it is faith not magic. Miracles comes some times out of the blue, but often because you seek them and ask for them. Who can understand why some that don’t really seem to deserve the constant help they appear to receive from the Lord while others very faithful and sincere go for long periods in a desert place with no hint there is an end to it.

The promise is Jesus will never forsake you, so this means he is there all the time. Jesus is amazing, God has cattle on a thousand hills and he is willing.

Below is pretty good explanation, (I don’t know his other messages, but in this topic he explains it well)

Healing is Jesus

By The Right Revd Graham Dow
Matthew, chapter 8 verses 1 - 15

It is Jesus who heals. The heart of the Church’s healing ministry is, through the Holy Spirit, bringing together Jesus with the person whose needs we want to pray for. It is not a matter of techniques: healing is Jesus. The two stories at the beginning of St Matthew chapter 8 shed light on how we may approach this. There are two principles:

Please go to http://www.resource-arm.net/articles/healing_is_jesus.html to read about the principles. I did not want to copy the article in full.

You can at this moment do what you want. Jesus is not a rule book of directions that must be followed to the letter to get something. Jesus is in a personal relationship with you as though in the world there are only you and him. This can give Jesus a problem because you can slip things by him sort of catching him off guard. Best way to explain this is as you are talking to him sneak a joke in (not one that is a “did you hear the one about….) You actually can cause Jesus to react in a bursting out of laughter. WOW talk about getting first hand evidence he is with you and can respond to your conversation is when you make someone laugh. Hard to not laugh at a good “funny”. Jesus has emotions that can tell you he is there with you and you can tap into them in your daily relationship with him.

Of course telling Jesus how great he is going beyond the chanting “praise the Lord” (though supper to repeat this praise a lot) often in church it gets lost in a ritual and loses its personalness.

My suggestions here is just saying you have a personal relationship and we knowing how to be around others, family, co-workers, friends, we should be able to be around Jesus and have personal interactions. 2000 years of Christianity tells us mostly we live day to day like anyone else with rare occasions of a camp meeting experience with Jesus. You can up the ante by participating in the personal relationship Christian claim to have with Jesus. Jesus is willing.

Magic won’t renew your spirituality or heal your physical needs. Actively participating in your faith will break down many barriers. When you don’t feel like it can’t stop a break through because in faith in your darkness you can turn on the light with your thoughts. You can command the elements, You can change world events from your closet. You can change your neighbor. You can do these things and see enough to know it can’t be coincidence. He doesn’t mind you telling him you love him too. He is not Just God Creator of all things, but is YOUR GOD.

God Bless you

John

“One night I had a dream–
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
“I don’t understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me.”
The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
“When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you.”

Subject: Please Pray For Me

I just came upon your web site I had been praying and was seeking just anything to help me during this time. I am a 55 year old HIV positive and thankfully healthy and undetectable male with a strong immune system and on meds. 

I have been having non-related physical problems, the most recent a mild heart attack about 8 or 9 months ago and over the last few weeks some gall bladder problems with painful symptoms.  While I have these physical problems the real issue is having lost my life's compass and being separated from the love and presence of God, His Son and Holy Spirit.

I long to have that heart that longs and thirsts for Him. I am in the driest lonesome desert without His Spirit, Grace or Love. Please pray for me that I am renewed spiritually and physically.

Thank you for being out here.  May God Bless You. > john
