May everyone have a blessed day and safe trip if you have to travel. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you Lord for all that You have given us and all that You will continue to bless us with if we just trust on You
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
1 Tim 4
For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
,18.Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thannkful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are in Christ Jesus the Revealer and Mediator of that will].
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and God bless America, and you and yours.
God bless our President, our leaders, our veterans, and our people.
Just as a reminder, Gal was kind enough to make us a Daily Prayer bump list. You can see her post on yesterday's thread (11/21). I "think" that to be added, you have to ping the thread - Gal, please correct me if I'm wrong, but it worked for me.
A little update (no need to post to the thread, billbears), but my husband made it home at 2 AM just in time to rest up for Thanksgiving dinner. He leaves again for 2 more weeks on friday morning.
AppyPappy and billbears, thanks for the verses this morning! They will provide food for thought as I prepare our meal. Again, a very blessed Thanksgiving to you all, my dear brothers and sisters!
Thank God for our country, our founding principles, the courageous among us - both then and now, and for Jesus Christ, who died to save us, arose from the grave, sits on the right hand of the Father ever living to make intercession for us - our Advocate with the Father, and who shall come again to this earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
One of my Godsons--Ross in Chicago needs prayer. He has ADD; a father still in Taiwan; lives with his mom, Granddad and aunt. And last night, he was passing his "girlfriend" and other girls in her car and says the steering wheel jumped out of his hands forcing his car into their car; causing them to swerve off the road, hit a mail box and pretty well mangle the other car.
He's the kind of kid who's super hard on himself already. He has a paper due tomorrow. It's going to be a major feet to keep him from flushing himself down the toilet.
I'm having lunch tomorrow with the Dad here in Taipei--first face to face in about 10 years. Going to try and put the Dad at ease with lots of potentially tricky things in the air in terms of the Dad's choices.
And, while I'm on Godsons--my closest one, very much more than as close as a blood son--Dan has still not communicated with me in more than 14 months. The small home church leader he and a host of other youth from Taiwan are in with in Calif evidently influenced them to avoid a Billy Graham crusade recently. . . the "prophet" leader of their home church fancies himself God's #1 general for the world for the end times and has a host of very narrow, rigid doctrines that virtually no one else agrees with himn on--and so--obviously--everyone else is a heretic.
The pain of the situation never goes away though God periodically affirms that HE WILL HONOR HIS COMMITMENTS TO ME ABOUT HIS PROMISES TO ME ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP and about Dan. Prayers for my wisdom and for Dan communicating and especially for the cultish stuff--that the group of youth there under this influence would be protected and/or freed from the narrow, rigid, self-righteous, arrogant bunch of narrow doctrines, divisive stuff.
Lord God, you know all these needs. I'm not even sure I know how to pray at the moment. I just lift them up to you and ask that all your Holy Spirit would pray be prayed and that Holy Spirit work in these hearts, lives and situations to bring your healing, wholeness, restoration and advancement of your will and influence, relationship in each of these lives. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
MUCH NEEDED. The . . . incredible situation with the California prophet, former pastor and Godson Dan SEEMS to be heating up again. . . in the sense that there are off-the-wall noises from parts of the other side. . . . which, if my experience is any clue, is SOME sign that God is starting to move on that side of things. Sure hope so. Long awaited.
Your encouraging words are water in a dry land and news after a long silence. THANKS TONS.
