❤ Let's Pray / Tuesday July 21

[Steven Bobb]

To Brother Steven and Brother James, Here's two verses;


Philippians 3:8,12 “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ ... Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.”

Romans 2:2-5 “Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”

My take Brothers;
We are learning endurance. We are attempting to grow spiritually and leave the worldly behind as best that we can. Even Jesus cried when Lazarus was dead. But He also said let the dead bury the dead.
Gratitude and perseverance are important. I have learn to pray before I type out my prayer agreement. I ask God to impart inner strength and understanding of faith to all brothers and sisters before I actually type out my prayer. Gratitude is so important and so are prayers for our family.
Grow and go with God. I hope that we all become firmly fixed on our God and our Holy inheritence.
I hope one day I can successfully say 'I'm not swayed by my discomforts but moved by my Loving Jesus. Amen.

But Jesus didn't DENY that there was suffering.He also said, "Whoever wants to follow me, let him pick up his torture stake."Torture stake",meaming that yes, there are painful moments in life despite some ostriches denying it.Even Jesus the night before, He sweated great drops of blood,and said,"Father if possible please let this cup pass from Me."At this point, I'd be satisfied if Brother James at least admits that not everything is a walk in the park.Also, like I mentioned to him, now you, the saying,"If he suffers as a Christian , let him."Meaning something with spiritual significance.Splinters, hangnails, a stalled car in rush hour traffic, etc, I consider more of just a result of living in the fallen world. Having a hangnail doesn't make you a better Christian.

Did you see what Brother Colin shared with us? No offence Steven but did you read the verses in Jeremiah I shared with you?

Just replied to him, and yes I read the verses.

I never suggested that we don't suffer - directly or indirectly. We all do. I am. I hope people think of me once in a while and pray for me. But I will not be distracted from His mission. With God strength I will focus on my blessings. I'm alive and able to share the gospel. It doesn't matter that my days on earth may be shorter then most. I'm genuinely realising that my life will continue. How can I not rejoice? Our life here is temporary. It's a place to learn from the Holy Spirit. All my troubles - although real - hinders my growth if I let it.
Steven I don't know when God will take me home but until then I will place my efforts on Love.
Love and Peace are both accessible through Faith. But there can't be any fear or hate in true Faith, Love, and Peace. It's a work in progress for me. I am learning through Jesus to have 'dominion' over my life.
Nothing but ❤ going your way.

The thing with the "debates" I have with Brother James--most Christians say like you, they ADMIT that, yes, the problems are there, but get "the balance." With him, it seems like he's to such an extreme that he interprets it like if we believe, we will not even have problems, and if we do, it's our fault!But Jesus DID say,to Christians,"In the world you WILL HAVE tribulation."Also, what some might perceive as negative on my part, the logic is, on a prayer site,or a call in prayer line, in order to tell them what to pray for, you have to describe the situation.How would they know what to pray for if you didn't ?All the prayer sites and prayer lines would go "kaput" if not. There would be no need for prayer if everything were perfect from the get go. But some think by describing it you're giving it power, and if you pretend it doesn't exist it will just vanish.

Brothers to me, we are generally pointed in the same direction. We have different starting points. No one is better, no one is worst, nor have anyone suggested this.
In the psychological arena there's something called 'individuation'. It simply implies thrive to improve oneself. Be all that you can be.
That's pretty much having full dominion over self but with the added piece of letting Jesus be your Loving Guide. In my humble opinion we should forever be pushing towards being moved by Jesus in every moment, attempting to filter out the worldly distractions. NOT easy but beneficial. Brother James is attempting to filter-out the worldly distraction and has never said that there wasn't any hardship. Let us all push forward in Christ.

I have never once looked at sharing with others as debating Steven. I gave you that scripture for a reason and the reason was/is that there are certain things that we definitely are not to do or we are going to have huge problems.

I woke up this morning in pain yet I'm not in any pain now. I was reminded that all things are working for my good. I was also reminded that I need and needed not to think about myself. We don't have to remain in pain Steven, we don't have to give our pains not even a second thought.

This is my prayer for today if you would like to read it...

Thank You, Praise You Lord Jesus for ...

Thank You, Praise You Lord Jesus for Your Love, for Your Forgiveness of my sin, for Your Salvation, for Your Blood that You cover me with, for being my habitation, for Your Protection, for hiding me under the shadow of Your wings, for Your Promises, for Your Prosperity, for work, for love, for...

I start out my prayers the way Jesus Instructs us by thanking Him and praising Jesus and seeing the end result and then thanking Jesus and praising Jesus again. At times I thank Jesus and praise Jesus all day long because of what I post for everyone. I honestly don't need anyone to join with me in prayer for I know Jesus hears my prayers and I always get a Yes and Amen from Him.

We lead by example. I'm not perfect but Jesus, who lives in me is perfect so I become perfect. If I prayed to Jesus about mailing a package, I would see the package safely going through the mail and arriving at my friend's place with absolutely no worries. If a worry tried to interfere with me I would simply say Thank You, Praise You Lord Jesus for blessing the package to arrive at my friend's and leave it at that. Worry leave me in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

I am literally your friend Steven, I mean you no harm. I simply wish you and others could see what I see and believe what I believe without having to go through the pains and discomforts I have had to endure but I am quite thankful that I went through them for they worked for my good.

If I start to feel sick I speak sickness leave me for you are not allowed in me nor near me in Jesus so go from me in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

We can read and study our Bibles and only look at what seems bad or we can only concentrate on what seems good to us for Jesus does say all things work for our good if we truly love Him. We can read it is appointed for man once to die or we can read that we will not ever taste of death and only believe that we will not ever taste of death and simply believe it, know it.

We can read that the beasts of the field are at peace with the righteous and then later walk through the fields right up within an inch of a rattle snake and speak we are at peace with each other because of the Righteousness that lives in me through Jesus or we can fear the rattle snake and get bit by it because the Bible also says that there is none righteous no not one, yet I know that I am the Righteousness of God in Christ.

I just wrote Steven back if you would like to read it, although I know that you would see it anyway. What I share is for everyone my friend

Yeah but then I post a request ,and you come on my communication with someone else, and post,"Poor poor Steven" several times. Like, something that I'm dealing with , and you do that, it's like you're mocking me.

Yes, I posted poor, poor Steven because you don't seem to understand. Where was your Thank You or your Praise You Lord Jesus for getting the package to where you sent it? Why did your post seem to have worry behind it? How long have you been coming on here without actually learning how to pray my friend so that you too can get a Yes and Amen from our creator? So I say poor, poor Steven.

No you were making fun of me.2}I would've also minimized the package thing, but she was freaking out and calling me over and over, and blaming me when SHE put it in the wrong bag, so I needed to get out of that situation, and her reaction to it.
