@ManX Did you hear about the 'National Day of prayer and Return" that took place today?

2020-09-27 02:12:00 UTC  

no I missed that

2020-09-27 02:12:12 UTC  

Thanks for the specifics too, much appreciated

Supposedly the event was about prayer and having the people of God return to him so that they may be spared from the wrath of God. It was sorta of like a plea of "We are going to pray and then all of our problems are going to go away". The premise of the event was in reference to what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah; when Abraham pleaded to God to spare the lives on those in Sodom and Gomorrah and Abraham kept negotiating with God that if Abraham found at least a few people who were holy that God would spare the whole city. Abraham couldn't find those "holy people" and God ended up destroying them.

The part I don't like about the event is that the people organizing the event were trying to imply that we could stop the judgement of God just like in the days of Old..which isn't going to happen. This is revelations and you can't stop the judgement that is being put fourth by God. The only thing that will solve the problem is when ALL of the plagues are over and done with and then judgement occurs. This is in part why the Two witnesses will eventually have to sacrifice themselves because they know the only way for the Lord to return is if they die according the prophecy.

2020-09-27 02:20:32 UTC  

You truly believe this is here and now end times?

2020-09-27 02:20:42 UTC  

yes

2020-09-27 02:20:56 UTC  

I know it is the end times; I don't just believe it anymore

2020-09-27 02:21:22 UTC  

I know in part and prophesy in part

2020-09-27 02:21:41 UTC  

1 Corinthians 13:9-12
King James Version
9 "For we know in part, and we prophesy in part."

2020-09-27 02:21:47 UTC  

I want to be that convicted but I’m not there yet

2020-09-27 02:23:09 UTC  

That is a good spirit you have. Continue to stay poor in spirit. Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

2020-09-27 02:24:42 UTC  

You get taught the most important lessons there are to learn by being poor in spirit which means that you aren;t going to commit fully to an idea that someone gives you and you sort of place that idea or w/e to the side and let other information flow into your life

2020-09-27 02:26:28 UTC  

The door is small and the way is hard my friend. I envy your knowledge.

2020-09-27 02:26:52 UTC  

I will say as well that just because I say " I know this!" doesn't mean i'll find myself sometimes sitting alone and thinking "hmmm, what if i'm wrong and this isn't the end times".

2020-09-27 02:28:16 UTC  

I admire your knowledge about clinging to that which is good and admonishing that which is evil.

2020-09-27 02:31:55 UTC  

You give me too much credit. Faith is a thing which I have to strive for each day

2020-09-27 02:32:36 UTC  

On a separate but similar note; i've seen a push to get people to deny God and start following the 'Alien and UFO' route. This path leads people to deny God and start believing in all sorts of weird stuff. Alot of people who go looking for that truth end up dead or missing because they start off exploring something they know nothing about and they start off by denying the creator (which is a big no no) you basically leave yourself open to attack from all sorts of evil.

2020-09-27 02:33:14 UTC  

I have no doubt that something like that will find its way into your life and that "knowledge" will challenge you

2020-09-27 02:34:30 UTC  

Just remember that there are Angels and Demons here on Earth. If you can remember that; then no matter what information comes your way God will give you the RIGHT understanding of how to process it

2020-09-27 02:35:18 UTC  

Hebrews 13:2 says
New International Version
"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it."

2020-09-27 02:35:45 UTC  

Which means that there will be fallen Angels that you will have to be kind to

2020-09-27 02:35:53 UTC  

That’s very good advice. Thank you. I do pray for guidance regularly. One of those things that always provides peace to the soul I difficult times.

2020-09-27 02:36:33 UTC  

You don't have to pray to these Angels or worship them (and the non-fallen ones will tell you not to pray to them either).

2020-09-27 02:37:16 UTC  

My mom used to tell me you never know when God is giving you an opportunity to prove your character

2020-09-27 02:37:26 UTC  

Your mom is a very smart woman

2020-09-27 02:37:42 UTC  

I’ve never understood the praying to Mary though

2020-09-27 02:37:48 UTC  

Me neither

2020-09-27 02:39:01 UTC  

I pray to God and Jesus, and most of the time it’s just both at the same time cause I’m not entirely sure where one begins and the other ends

2020-09-27 02:39:48 UTC  

Catholics believe that she is Mother of God or something like that. In any case; whatever strange doctrine comes your way; just remember that the creator of everything YHWH had to die and take on all the sin of the world and he was ressurected. As long as you recognize that Yehoshua(God is Savior) [also know as (Lord Jesus Christ)] then you will be fine.

2020-09-27 02:40:16 UTC  

Yup we’re on the same page on that front

2020-09-27 02:40:58 UTC

@ManX He knows what is in your heart; keep on doing what you're doing.

2020-09-27 02:45:56 UTC  

@ManX Also. Have you ever tried to pray in the spirit? I'm not talking about praying with words; but using your mind to pray. The best way I can describe it is think of doing a math problem in your head. Now try to pray for someone without being distracted or have something compete for your attention.

2020-09-27 02:46:38 UTC  

Not sure entirely

2020-09-27 02:46:42 UTC  

It is a new experience to find out that there are things and forces that will try to stop you from praying in the spirit.

2020-09-27 02:46:49 UTC  

Give it a try

2020-09-27 02:48:12 UTC  

I will consciously try, I think I have before, but not with intent if that makes sense. I’ve just been so impassioned a few times that it’s maybe been the same

2020-09-27 02:49:10 UTC  

It's hard to do at first because there are evil spirits trying to stop you from praying in the spirit.

2020-09-27 02:49:31 UTC  

It doesn't get any easier; but it is always something to strive for.

2020-09-27 02:50:42 UTC  

Interesting. I’ll report back my experience 🙂
