Attending Church, what if I can't?

By reading the text conversation , dialogues here it would seem, like I was reading a letter from John as if he was writing from the island “Patmos” or if “Paul was “writing” from one of his cells in which he desired to be face to face contact with his brothers and sisters in Christ. Nice dialogue brother-Paul, Josephine2006:cool:

Thank you PloughBoy.
I don't know much about Paul and John in the Bible but it sounds like a lovely compliment brother. :love:
 
Thank you Brother-Paul for your message.
I give thanks for your service to our Lord in helping me and many others.
It is amazing that we have all this love from our Lord! My cup brimmeth over! I am so lucky.
I hope that folk will think about the Christian views on the corona virus pandemic (pestilence). With any luck we'll have plenty more brothers and sisters to welcome here because of it. I am trying to spread the word, by saying to others, 'get your houses in order for the Lord'!
Thank you for your hug. Here is one in return from me :love: and from all our other 'brothers and sisters'.
I hope one day I may be of service too, to be able to help others the way you have helped me.
I hope we are all staying at home. And pray for protection. Yes.
Take special care of yourself also.
With so much love to you Brother-Paul, from your sister. :grinning:


Bless you sister and thanks for the spiritual hug.

We are to love one another as Christ loves us.

I am humbled by what you say but, I am not the only one who has helped you, many, I mean many have helped here. Not just Hekuran, you see when we are servants we serve and think nothing more that the soul we are approaching, but at the same time brothers and sister read the message and discussions and pray also, each one as the spirit guides them, so the only Glory is God's, but we do thank everyone for the prayers they lifted, even though we maybe didn't realise.

The Holy Spirit is wonderful, He is so powerful yet so gentle, All Praise to the God the Father, Jesus our Lord and Saviour and the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Name we rejoice and give thanks praying the Lord will bless all who prayed over the conversations, I am truly humbled sister that the Lord allowed me to help you, I a man of unclean lips and unclean thoughts, I am not worthy in myself, God works in wonderful yet at time mysteries ways, or so it may appear.

To be of service to the Lord, we must be repentant, we must love the Lord with all our heart, all our mind and all our soul, we must follow Jesus. To help others sister which I think you are referring to, there are two important things, one is we must be born again, the other is we cannot give out what we haven't taken in, we cannot give out what we haven't taken in.

Feed on Him in your heart with thanks giving, Trust in the Lord always, He will guide your path. Submit your all to Jesus, come to God through Him, read and study The Word, a bite at a time, just enough to digest, just enough to take in.

Stay safe sister, stay close to the Truth, stay in The Word, stay close to Jesus, our Lord, our Saviour, the author and perfecter of our Faith.

Jesus loves you I do too, we do too. :)

Thank you for your heart felt prayers, Bless you always.

Hello Brother-Paul,
Thank you for your message.
I did hope that you were praying for me. I am sooooo grateful for that. The Holy Spirit brought that to my attention yesterday, that you were praying for me. Thank you. I will remember to include ALL of our brothers and sisters.
I want to Thank all who have helped me and may have prayed for me.
You are right, I don't think I've shown my gratitude (not intentionally) as much as I should have to others.
I would like to Thank them and hope I haven't offended anyone.
Thank you Brother-Paul.
You are all in my prayers. :love:

I just wanted to add Brother-Paul the reason that I said 'Get your houses ready for the Lord' because I was talking to a friend on the subject of a 'humanity reset button' from the corona virus pandemic, effect.
That was what I heard from a blogger on YouTube. I decided to clear my house of any false Gods that may offend the lord and would be seen as false idols. That phrase stuck in my head and made sense to me.
I do, I must admit, say it often in my head as a warning (which has been God's order for me to do) from God, to the evildoers that are still tormenting me who can read my mind.
God's plan has been to allow this affliction I have, to reach those evildoers from near and afar (They mean serious business, they are evil and wicked, the worst of the worst), to give them a chance to repent before it's too late.
I know this for certain because he has said to me 'Hang on in there,it won't be for too much longer now'.
I know all of this suffering has been God's plan all along, so I continue to bear it (it's only mild now and not constant) as long as he needs me to.
God's Will is my Will and I would gladly give my life for Him, with out hesitation or explanation.
God has specifically asked me to share my story with as many people as I can.
Would you be able to suggest a way I could get this message out to our brothers and sisters more effectively?
This is His plan and I'm following it to the best of my ability.
Thank you Brother-Paul.

Don't worry... Peace be with you.

No one has been offended, you have a good heart sister.

And a Big Thank you from me. :love:

Bless you.

Remember me sharing with you to read The Word, with an open heart, a bite at a time?

I am sure you do, this way we digest every bite. What point is there reading to much and not understanding it, it is like having a big meal and leaving most of it, it was to much to take in in one go.

Allow me to share one verse.

This is one of the messages Jesus gave us about peace.

John 14:27 (New King James Version)
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Take time to ponder and meditate on this passage sister, ask yourself what is so different about the Peace Jesus gives us, that it is so unlike worldly peace?

Worldly peace, is looking for calm following the extremes we experience. This may be a war, fighting, arguments, even a storm or hurricane for example.

Jesus' Peace, is different, it forgives and protects sinners from God's wrath.

The peace God offers through Jesus is 'Perfect Peace' and it is available free for every saved soul. Isn't that wonderful.

Look again at what our Lord said...

John 14:27 (New King James Version)
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.


Let not your heart be troubled, neither be afraid. What powerful words, what Truth He gives us in this one verse.

You will never read and fully understand every word in the Bible, so put that aside and read what is important, read it slowly and meditate on what you have read, pray before commencing, pray the Holy Spirit will reveal the Truth in The Word to you, pray and give thanks afterwards.

It is possible to spend all day on one verse, the Truth revealed via the Holy Spirit is amazing.

What is Jesus giving, who is He giving it to, why is He giving it, what is the main part of the message is it Peace, is it you, why does he give this message?

So many questions, one verse. I love so much scripture, like everyone I have favourite verses, or verses that have helped me get through things, but if there is one thing I would really want it is Peace with the Lord.

Enjoy sister, take your time, the long distance runner never runs flat out from the beginning, one step at a time, read, enjoy, digest, you will be blessed more than you could ever imagine.

Jesus loves you we do too.

In His Love \o/

Greeting sister,

I think the first words the Lord gave me when I first wrote to you was...

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.


You are keen, you are eager, God knows this, He loves you, but the more we learn to Trust in Him, the more He will use us.

The more we Trust in Him, the more He will use us.

If we do things in our own strength, we will fall, He will allow us to fall, why? Because by falling we learn to Trust in Him.

Opportunities will occur when we least expect it, or we will feel the Holy Spirit guiding us to share The Word. It is just down to trusting and being open to Him.

I learnt a long time ago, if God has given you a plan, He will reveal it. Why? Because He is in it, He gave you the plan.

Keep your eyes on Jesus, Trust in The Word, Trust in the Lord always...

Peace be with you.

Thank you Brother-Paul.
I do trust in the Lord with ALL my heart, ALL my soul and ALL my mind and lean not on my own understanding. This is something I have said in every prayer since 2004 and I've meant every word.
The trials I have experienced since that time have been really, really challenging ( and that's putting it mildly). With every single tribulation I have experienced I have been very closely involved in my Faith.
This isn't a new thing for me. I don't know much about the Bible, which is something I'm working on every day but I don't want this to cloud your judgement. :)
The Words I have shared with you have been from the Lord our Father, Christ Jesus through the Holy Spirit.
It is the Word of God, he has asked for me to share this information as much as I can. It is The Truth. It is His Word.
The main focus has been to warn the wicked/ the evil one to change their ways. To give them a chance to put things right with him and become His people of Israel.
I except that what I have said is hard to comprehend and unbelievable . Yet I have walked with the Lord for many many years now. So I understand your reservations.
Thank you again Brother-Paul for all your messages. I will be forever grateful for your invaluable support in my hour of need and the contributions to this thread from All the other brothers and sisters.
Peace be with you always.
With Love to you and to All :love:

Dear sister,

I will always try help, you know that, as will many brothers and sisters on here, but if someone says God has spoken to them and says do this, or that, then says me have you any suggestion what or how to do it, I shout Lord help. What I am trying to say, is who am I to tell you how God wants you to do something. My only advice of any use would be, pray, ask Him and pray again, be open for the Holy Spirit to work in your life, rejoice and give thanks in Jesus name.

You have my prayers sister, that He who wants you to do certain things will reveal to you, as He knows best, so that you can do His will and He will receive the Glory.

I am just an humble servant.

Regarding the trials and really challenging things you have experienced I can help, in some way. I went through a massive amount when I came to faith, the spiritual battle I experienced almost cost me my wife and children, my marriage everything. Out of the blue, I called on a home during my work, I didn't know the couple, I surveyed the work I was there for then went to the front door to leave, as I did the guy said, you have a lot of issues don't you, I was astounded he could tell. I didn't know how to answer, but before I did he said, are you a Christian, I explained I was and they said come in for a few minutes lets chat. I entered their lounge, they offered me a cup of tea or coffee, they confirmed they were husband and wife and that Gilbert was a retired Pentecostal Minister.

Keeping a long story short I would go see them many times in my lunch period, they taught me, and prayed for me through the blood of Christ, the devil will not go near the blood of Christ. They prayed total coverage of the blood, we also prayed the whole armour of God, Ephesians 6. It took time but things happened and through the protection Christ provides by His Blood, the protection from the whole armour of God, and FAITH, the clouds past. The devil had been rebuked in Jesus Name.

I feel in my heart sister you need that protection, we will pray for you. Brothers and sisters in Christ on here, we will pray for you. But you also need to pray the protection Josephine.

Jesus loves you we do too.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart...

Thank you Brother-Paul for sharing your story with me. I feel privileged that you felt you could.
God does work in mysterious ways! We are all so fortunate to have him in our lives. :love:
I'm so glad you had those people to help you get through the trails you had/have in your life.
I feel the same way about you and all the other brothers and sisters that have been supporting me.
So I have my armour of God. 'Stand fast, I tell you'.Ephesians 6. He gives me protection every single day, and I praise him for that. He has given me a fresh start and a new life completely. I know He will never let me down. I will never let Him down.
He asked me to tell my story here. To ask the 'community'. His Words. I didn't know anything about the word 'community' so when I found out that we are a 'community' here, it was yet another example of Him showing me He is working very closely in my life.
Very few people viewed my story of His Miracle. I felt very disheartened by that.
The advice He then gave to me was to ask how to get His message across more effectively.
He spoke to me yesterday through my 40 day 'Purpose Driven Life' book by Rick Warren, to tell me to keep going; Day 22 states how important it is to do everything you can to keep the Fellowship together. It is the most important thing to Him. Romans 14:19 'Let us concentrate on the things which make for harmony and the growth of our fellowship together'.
He feels like His Word isn't being heard.
That it's not being taken seriously.
I said to him, this isn't working. But here I am again trying to spread His Word. He won't let this go. I trust His Word and his guidance so I'm back continuing to plug away at it.
I am a humble servant. I'm doing what he's asking me to do. These words are coming from Him through the Holy Spirit. I wouldn't be able to explain this situation and try to get the message across on my own merit.
Unfortunately the evil one has a strong hold on me. He isn't prepared to let me go without a fight.
God is showing them/him his Might and Power through the Miracle. He wants them to know he means business. He has had enough of non-believers, the evildoers and the wicked. There are so many these days. He is the Life the Truth and the Way. The ONLY Way.
I know you are feeling exasperated with the whole situation. Please try and be patient with me.
Love to you and All our brothers and sisters.
Gods speed. :love:

Dear sister,

Jesus tells us...

John 14:1 (NIV2011)
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

You do, that is wonderful sister, I can feel the warmth from your heart.

Be assured, I am not feeling exasperated, not at all. I will help any brother and sister when and where I can, but I am not God, I am just a humble servant. God has put those things on your heart, Praise be to Him, so He does have a plan, all I can say is he hasn't told me what the plan is, don't read this wrongly, I believe you, I believe that He has put it on your heart, when God does so He has a plan. PTL. But it is like Him giving you a car but not giving you the key, so we ask Him why and for Him to reveal His will to you, in Jesus Name Amen.

Meanwhile, we wait on Him, we give Him the Glory, we give Him all the Glory. Amen

Now I add this sister, but only as a consideration, God may be testing your faith, then He will reveal His plan.

So we trust Him, we give Him the Glory through Jesus, we submit totally to Him in Thanks and Praise, and ask Him to reveal His will to you.

Bless you sister, as you say above, He IS the Way, He IS the Truth, He IS the life.

As I wrote this and prayed for you, it came to me to suggest to you, why not add your testimony to the testimony section in the forum for others to see and read.

Jesus loves you sister (you know the rest)

God has put those things on your heart, Praise be to Him, so He does have a plan, all I can say is he hasn't told me what the plan is, don't read this wrongly, I believe you, I believe that He has put it on your heart, when God does so He has a plan. PTL. But it is like Him giving you a car but not giving you the key, so we ask Him why and for Him to reveal His will to you, in Jesus Name Amen.

Meanwhile, we wait on Him, we give Him the Glory, we give Him all the Glory. Amen

Now I add this sister, but only as a consideration, God may be testing your faith, then He will reveal His plan.

So we trust Him, we give Him the Glory through Jesus, we submit totally to Him in Thanks and Praise, and ask Him to reveal His will to you.

Bless you sister, as you say above, He IS the Way, He IS the Truth, He IS the life.

As I wrote this and prayed for you, it came to me to suggest to you, why not add your testimony to the testimony section in the forum for others to see and read.

Jesus loves you sister (you know the rest)
Brother-Paul!

I am so relieved to hear that you are not feeling exasperated.. I think I would have tested my own patience, if I was you on the receiving end :joy:!!
And Thank you so much for your message.
And a lovely quote;
John 14:1 (NIV2011)
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

Thank you for believing me. I can't tell you how much that means to me really.

When I switched on the telly this afternoon there was a film on called 'The Greatest Story Ever Told'. About Jesus' life (which I'm sure you know of).
It was great to put a face to His name, Jesus, so to speak (I know he was an actor and not really Jesus ;)) but it helped me.
As I think you know I've been having a small block there, with Jesus' story, so watching that has helped a lot. Also I thought to myself that I have only ever heard Jesus' name out loud when people are swearing which really grates on me so that doesn't help. I believe in The Trinity. I believe in Jesus, there is still though, a tiny block so I have asked God to help me with that because it's playing on my mind a bit.

Thank you for suggesting to post in the Testimonials section. I have done that and I hope for a better response there. But I'm not holding my breath ;).

What does PTL stand for?

It's funny you mentioned that this may all be a test from God because I too had the same thought today. That God maybe testing me so I asked Him and He said 'no, it is not a test'.

He has taken away all the troubles I've had from the evil one (I hope it's not just for today because I said to Him yesterday how tired I am. But if that is the case I'm happy to continue his Will) I don't know if you remember me saying but I was in two minds about who was talking to me sometimes, God or Satan? He said to me today while out walking the dog that I no longer have to worry about who's saying what, who's steering me because He has complete control now so I'm not to keep second guessing everything. What a RELIEF!! No more worrying about that, phew!! I can breath again!:grinning:
But He then said, 'we still have a long way to go'... He said in Rick Warrens book "Show me what you've got!" So I said to him today "let me show you what I've got"!!!!!! He already knows I'm made of the strong stuff so 'Bring.. It.. On' I'm so excited for what's to come next!!

He did point out though that it's about time that I started reading the Bible more. I have got the Revised English Bible. But it's okay for me to read my Rainbow Good News Bible as I really find it hard to concentrate reading the grown-ups version,it's too complex right now for my brain :).

I hope you're having a lovely Easter weekend with this great weather.

I hope you know Brother-Paul that if there's ever a time that you think I might be able to help you with something, please let me know.
I'm praying for you and all our brothers and sisters.

From your loving sister Josephine :love:
