My husband and I have experienced so much pain from being here with my family. My family can be very cruel especially to outsiders. His family showed me respect and concern and my family has been insulting and hurtful to both of us really. I had forgotten being away for 18 years how bad it could be. Pls. pray that I can forgive and get on with my life. I realize that I don't have to continue in hurtful relationships with them but I know I need to forgive them. pls pray for my family as a whole....thanks!

My husband got a job with the railroad and one of my brother'in laws who has caused a raucus also works for them...pls pray for peace!

Greetings Lori,

Emmanuelle, the Lord is with me. It's time to shift the focus and place it where it needs to be on Jesus. Families aren't always perfect, they aren't always nice, nor are all families supportive. Families have their problems and it is time to surrender yours to the Lord. Whatever stuff that people have against you, your husband or your family unit, it is there stuff.

It is so easy to get caught up into fight, bickerings, debates etc...it is easy at times to have reasons not to forgive, however not forgiving becomes a huge burden, gets harder and more painful the longer we carry it around.

You have a lot of stuff happening around you at present that is not easy, if you focus on Jesus and keep walking through it, you enter into his presence and he has the answer for you. He has given us his spirit to comfort us in times of troubles and also guide us, surrender everything to him that is causing pain, discomfort, disunity, burdens, crisis in your life and go to the cross. Jesus died for us so we may have liberty in him, so we may come into relationship with God and live in his Grace, mercy, love & forgiveness...have faith, trust in the Lord for he is with you.

Psalm 20 v 1-2

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of jacob defend you; May he send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;...v4-5 May He grant you according to your heart's desire, And fulfill all your purpose. We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners!. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Amen, Abba Thankyou....

Psalm 23 v1-3,4

The Lord is my Shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of rightesousness for His name's sakes...I will fear no evil, For You are with me...

Heavenly Father, you look after your Children you are with all of them in every moment, through every trouble and in our times of triumphs and in our times of distress....Attend to thy daughter Lori, She needs to enter into your forgiveness, she needs to know, feel, be, rest in your beautiful presence. No matter what storm is blowing may her foundations not be shaken and may her faith be a witness to all her family. May she enter into your grace and it doesn't matter who she is with they will witness your grace in action and know that you are a God of Love, a God of Peace and a God of unity in Jesus' name...Thankyou Jesus for dying for our sins, thankyou for making it possible that we can pray anything in your name and know that it will be done. Thankyou Jesus for also giving us your beautiful life giving Holy Spirit, we are so in awe of what you can do. Holy Spirit work miracles in Lori's life, miracles of God's love, peace and unity and where there is none, water those seeds that we have planted. In Jesus name, Abba grow those seeds into beautiful bountiful fuit, all for you Glory, amen Father....We love you and praise everything you do...amen.

love and blessings in the Lord,

Serenity



The Lord is my Sh

Hi Lori,

I was directed to psalm 27, it is so beautiful...

For in time of trouble, he shall hide me in His pavillion...and then this verse really stuck out...When my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take care of me (v10)...Lori the Lord will take care of you and your family...Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And he shall strengthen your heart...Wait, I say on the Lord! (14)...How wonderful is our God, his word and promises for his children...

Love and blessings in the Lord,

Serenity

lori
I am praying for your situation with your family. You are doing the right thing in praying for them and pursuing peace. May the Lord provide you with new christian friends to fellowship and pray with. Before you talk to or see them, build yourself up in prayer and renew your mind in the word and ask God to put a guard on the door of your mouth and help you to impart grace and other good things to them, and to inspire you as to what to say. They will see Christ's light through you. Praying too for their salvation. Jesus said " blessed are the peacemakers".

Lori,

Heavenly Father! Your daughter is hurting and she needs you to pour your dwelling spirit through her mind and body. Anoint her spirit and release healing through her heart, mind and soul.Bring peace to her mind and let her know you have already forgiven her.

Lori,

The Lord loves you and knows the circumstances at hand. Through prayer and supplication, through the Holy Spirit, you will feel his healing power as we unite in prayer by faith.

Paul tells us we must forgive and restore one who has sinned against us.
2 Cor.2:5-11 Forgiveness for the Sinner

5If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you, to some extent--not to put it too severely. 6The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient for him. 7Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. 9The reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. 10If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven--if there was anything to forgive--I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.


Your in my prayers!

Thanks, everyone.....your directions to scripture and sprititual advice is very helpful.....Steve's message of 4/5/04 was also helpful......I saw the passion last night and what an impact......it was very evangelistic....at times though very hard to watch......
