Unstable Sister
E-Mail: Respond to This Prayer
Category: Home and Family
6/17/2013 4:46 PM
My sister Stephanie is a good person deep down, but she is very unstable. Nobody really knows what is wrong with her. Although she is saved, I believe she is full of demons. She is 31 and lives at home. About 5 years ago her and her ex-husband (also unstable) split up. As a result she moved back home with her daughter. And my mom and dad have been raising her little girl. There are some rare good moments, hours even days where my sister shows the signs of being a good mother, but....it is never consistent. She spends the majority of her days laying in bed playing on the computer. She is epileptic so she can't drive and really doesn't do much. My mother is exhausted because she has to raise her granddaughter and still has to raise her 31 yr old daughter. She is also very rude to my mother and is not shy about cursing at her, lying or ignoring her rules of the house. However, if you ask her...she will tell you that she is a great mother. She lives in a complete fantasy world. She has no job and seems to have little motivation to find one. She is very lazy and sleeps and wakes up whenever she feels like it. None of us know what to do with her. If it wasn't for their grandaughter my parents would have kicked her out years ago. I ask that you lift this situation up in prayer. Pray for change and stability in her life. My mother is no spring chicken and she is weary doing everything. Also....my sister is talking to some guy on the internet and we are all deathly afraid of the worst case scenarios that could come from this. My parents are so stressed.

Depression
Category: Health and Healing
6/10/2013 0:31 AM
I have been struggling with severe depression for several years. I am 28 and I'm on my fourth antidepressant with no significant improvement. I've contemplated suicide and I'm desperately searching to find any joy in life. I believe I'm my heart that true joy comes from the Lord, but I find myself constantly pulling away from Him. I want so badly to put my hope and trust in Him and to find my refuge in His arms, but I continue to turn away. I'm begging for the help of the Body to lift me up and support me during this trial. I can live with being unhappy, but I can't live with being apart from my God. Pray for me to turn from sin and return to Christ so I can find the peace that I know only He can give me.

I praise God because I had multiple things to do and was rushing. I had to finish my Bible ministry and be at a meeting by 2PM. As I was rushing my return check came and I didnt even bother with it. God Comes First! I Praise God because He is so Faithful. When I finally got done with my Bible Ministry Praise God someone had brought me lunch which included green beans. Healthy Eating for free! God's Favor Is So Awesome. Then I was rushing cleaning the dishes and the steak knife cut into my flesh. I immediately Prayed To Jesus And He Healed Me. I used Peroxide That I Blessed In Jesus' Name And Then I Put On Holy Oil. No Pain And No Scar. Praise Jesus. It was raining with heavy traffic and low visibility. I took a wrong turn. Praise God I still got to the meeting on time and all went well. When I finally got to put that check in the bank there was no waiting line. Praise God! The teller was just standing there waiting to process my transaction. All went well again! I praise God for His Favor, Love And Grace. Praise God!
Homeless Praise

One year ago, I was hospitalized with cancer. My physical and spiritual walk was tough but praise God through Jesus he delivered me and I went into remission, and was able to introduce several neighbors and family members to our Lord Jesus Christ and they became saved. I was not able to work and because I was in remission was not eligible for disability. I looked for work as I lived off my savings but was not able to find work. I thank God for his grace and mercy and for the Holy Spirit that strengthens me. My home was foreclosed on and I did not want to burden my already financially over burdened family, so now I live in a shelter for women and children in Jackson, MS and I thank God for the roof over my head. It is not the 3,000 square foot estate on 3.5 acres with pool and tennis courts that I had, but I am alive, well and made whole. And I am blessed to share my testimony and edify those ladies here in the shelter, who seek salvation through Jesus Christ and our Father God's divine grace. Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and our Father God. Every day God send I exhault and magnify him in my "Homeless but not hopeless Praise".

God bless you!
Pardon our mess - we are permanently under construction -- building unity in the body of Christ until Jesus comes!
What Denomination Is This???
We are frequently asked this question, and the answer is always the same: Christian.
This site is dedicated to the God of the Bible. God has revealed Himself, and is revealing Himself, through God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. As a non-denominational Christian site, we concentrate on the essential Christian doctrine that unites us as a body of believers.
The Church is the collection of all those who believe and follow Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Being saved by the blood of Christ is not a denominational issue. And those whom the Lord has saved, are saved by grace through faith alone in Him, trusting in Christ as Lord and Saviour. They are NOT saved by belonging to a particular denomination.
The Lord has called for us, through His Word, to love our brothers and sisters in Christ:
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one
another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one
another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another.
(John 13:34-35)
We may strongly differ in some doctrinal matters, but are called to unity in core doctrinal beliefs, like the Deity of Christ, the Trinity, and other core doctrine that makes up Christianity. The Lord looks to your heart, and not your denomination, in His love for you. The core doctrine we preach is that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, that you shall be saved:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
(Romans 10:9)
So our denomination is "classic Christianity", witnessing that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, so that you might live. We have provided a few key scriptures in our statement of faith to summarize where we stand, although we believe it is important to recognize that the whole Bible is the Word of God, and that all doctrinal matters must be tested in the light of scripture as the final authority. A statement of faith can at best only capture the highlights or key doctrinal matters of ones faith:
Statement of Faith
Our emphasis on the roots of classic Christianity is an attempt to bring together the Body of Christ. With this website, we are trying to build a place for the body of Christ to come together in fellowship - a place where those who worship the Lord Jesus Christ can share in their love for God.
Cults, the False Church, and Heresy
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew 7:13-15 (KJV)
For those involved in cults and the false church, such as Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and others, we pray that this site will lead you to the Truth, that Jesus is the incarnate God, and salvation comes through Him, and only Him. If this applies to you, we would be glad to help find somebody to pray with you, and help you discover the Truth available through the Holy Spirit, and God's inerrant Word, the Bible. We are not called to unity in Christ at the expense of false doctrine or luke-warm faith, but rather, we are called to unity in Christ on matters of essential Christian doctrine. This unity acknowledges that brothers and sisters in the Lord are united through core beliefs like the deity of Christ Jesus, Salvation by grace, and belief in the Trinity, even though we may differ on issues like perseverance of the saints, limited atonement, and dispensationalism.
Below we have listed some "denominations" and "belief systems" that are clearly outside of the mainstream Christian church, and comprise the "false church", or world of the cults. We pray that those involved in these organizations come to know the Lord Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. The list is by no means exhaustive. Please consult your Christian bookstore for more information on cults and the false church. For convenience, we are making some books available, through Amazon.com, on cults and the false Church. We also have a section on cults and false doctrine, which provides additional information:
Cults - Additional info on cults
- Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (mormons)
- Books - Books on mormonism
- Quotes - Quotes of mormonism
- Jehovah's witnesses
- Books - Books on Jehovah's Witnesses
- scientology
- swedenborgianism
- christian science
- unification church (moonies)
- unitarians
- wicca and witchcraft
- astrology
- freemasonry
- "oneness" movements that deny the Trinity (Sabellian Heresy)
- ...
- unfortunately, the list is very long ...
Please visit a Christian bookstore, or visit our online bookstore for further information on cults, the false church, and heretical belief systems. There is nothing more important than understanding the nature and character of God, and making Jesus Christ the Lord of your life.

Benediction:
Heavenly Father, we thank You and praise You for giving us this opportunity to use the Internet to spread Your Word. We pray that this service brings many souls to salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Give us the strength and wisdom to spread the Gospel to a changing world. Although the world is changing, Your Word remains the same, so we ask for Your guidance in spreading the Word in the Spirit of Truth. Teach us new ways to shine the light of Your Word on a darkened world, and give us the strength we need to overcome our obstacles.
We pray for unity in the Christian community, and that we come together as one Body of Christ. Give us the wisdom we need to help unite the Church, and bring us together in matters of essential Christian doctrine. Teach us how to discuss our doctrinal differences, and still be united as the Body of Christ on matters of essential Truth. Help us to witness in Truth to those that are being deceived by the false gospels of the enemy. Help us to reach out in love to those caught up in cults and the false church, and bring them into Your light.
We praise You Father for showing us Your ways, and giving us Your Son and Your Spirit to light up our lives. We ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus. Amen.
