Dear Family of God,
Kody, is back in hospital. I'm asking that all of the family, lift him
up in prayer. He is running a fever, and not feeling well. He is going to be in there for
a few days. How about it, Brothers & Sisters, you with me ? Thank You

There won't be any getting down on my knees, I'm too decrepit for that. lol.. I get stuck when I kneel down (stupid knees) and have to pull myself up.. :( The price I pay for getting old..lol.. :eek: All my life, I've believed in Jesus, went to church/ Sunday school. I even went to a christian high school. But I honestly don't remember if I've ever actually spoken the words "Jesus I accept you as my savior." My memory is swiss cheese on things that happened long ago.. so I guess what I'm asking is, if I DON'T accept him as my savior, would I still go to heaven?

I would gladly accept him as my savior, of course.. :) I'm just wondering..
I'm sure that you accepted Jesus as your savior years ago without even realizing it and it has shown by the way you have conducted your life.

okay, so I have a question for y'all.. how do you accept Jesus as your savior? I mean, is there a special prayer to say, or can you declare it out loud, or even silently in your head, to him?

I've always thought the same. It's so refreshing to hear people's testimonies. But when it comes to me, I can't say an exact date of when I was saved. I'm like you, in that I believe in Christ and He is my Savior. And I've so many times cried my eyes out to Him asking Him to wash away my sins and make me clean. I don't remember all the things I've done, though which is why I still battle those thoughts in my head. And to this day I still struggle with some of those things.

​Yeah, me too. Some days I wonder if I'll still go to heaven, or hell, even though I've repented of all my past (and present) sins. Alot of times, I feel like he doesn't hear me when I pray. :(

Yeah I always see where it says Jesus says Depart from Me for I never knew you. And I always think that'll be me He says it to. So... Yeah... But I agree with Tourist. I've read enough of your posts to know Christ does flow through you. It's just the enemy wanting to do anything to try and tear you down.

Weve all been there. Saving faith isnt a feeling. Its a belief.
Believe in him and thought shalt be saved. Dont add to scripture thinking it only took if you feel joy.
Pray and talk to God. If youve done all that, then God 's word, his promises and dont be confused when the feelings arent thrre

We can't go on our feelings as they can be very fickled, this is where faith comes in....We know we deserve hell because we have sinned and know that is what the wages are. But we believe that Jesus died and took our place so we believe in His faithfulness and sinless life and we hang on to Him with all we have. Trust Him that He will take care of us. Faith....and believe....forget about the feeling part.

Lady Blue......Sometimes I just want to throw in the towel and say phooey on all of it (usually after a debate in BDF), and just walk away wondering if I am saved too....Asking myself how can there be so many different beliefs and everyone is so sure they have the right answer? I feel sometimes as though I am on the fast track to hell....

But then I look at Jesus and remember His life and that my eyes should be on Him and trust that He will and has saved me and then I stay away from BDF a little while building my courage to try again.....another day and I know that Jesus has saved me and I put my trust, faith and belief in Him....

The Bible tells us that He who began a good work in you will keep on to completion so I believe that and hang on....also our real enemy is always trying to discourage us and I say NO you won't rob me of the salvation Jesus died to give me....I believe Jesus not you satan as your defeated and doomed to destruction......

Jesus Lives and Jesus Rules, He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and I Praise His Holy Name....

Yes, I don't know the whole story, I came into it late. Ellie and others know, I don't.
I do know, that he needs a touch from God right now. They are giving him blood
transfussions, I don't know if that's what caused the fever or not.

Father i heaven, here i am at Your Throne of Grace for Kody.
how i thank You for the opportunity to have gotten to know him.
Abba, i don't understand sometimes the things You do, though i know You are good.
it's hard for me to trust You at times... i am sorry, Father; please help my unbelief.

merciful God, our bear is Your son, and You love him so dearly.
You know everything about him and his world, and nothing goes unnoticed or unapproved by You.
thank You we can rest in Your steadfast love for Kody, and Your unchanging grace toward him.
please, Sir, be with Kody and his family. may they all know Your strength this day.
may they be assured of Your love for them no matter the circumstances.
and, oh, Lord... heal. please heal Kody, i humbly ask You.
cause the fever to abate, strengthen him for the coming treatment, and let us gather to offer thanks and praise to Your glory and great Name's sake when it's successful.

i'm just little, Abba. i'm not wise. but You are great and You have all wisdom and knowledge.
i ask You to give so much of it to the docs and nurses, to give Kody and his family all peace and perseverance, and build this all into a testimony to Your goodness for all the age to come. thank You, Lord and God,
for Jesus' sake, amen.

he has aplastic anemia, which means his bone marrow isn't producing mature blood cells of any type.

he's had one round of chemo and transplant and will have another soon, God willing.
the fever could be a sign of low WBC... weakened immunities.

oh, bear! i just blabbed all your business! :p ♥ ♥

i hope you're full of vinegar enough soon to give me a hard time over it. :)

. No don't throw in the towel. Jesus delt with all people, and many tested him, nd some were angry they pulled out his beard, o e had issues like Judas. There were those in the very hunch, that were trying o g the true followers out, but John just said it was wrong but never spoke a cruel word. Give people time, some know About Him Jesus, ome know him, in time the truth will prevail. Many need to cultivate the Fuits of the Holy Spirit. The corruption of the church nd their different ideas has lead many to go astray, and even ate those who preach the ord because they don't feel the genuine love of God. Who are they listening to? If it was Jesus then the fruits would be manifested. Religion is spiritual death, following man instead of our Lord and Savior Jesus The Anointed One. Be encouraged.:)

Mine was caused by super-heavy periods and the fact that I don't eat red meat. I would huff and puff while walking, could only go 2 or 3 steps and I'd have to sit. I had constant dizziness, double vision, omgosh it was sooo bad. Even laying down didn't help the dizziness. I knew something was horribly wrong, but didn't want to go to the doctor. Finally my brother and sister, who are both nurses/emt's, came down and practically dragged me to the hospital. As soon as we got there, I was gonna walk back home..lol..

The doctor told me if I'd waited one more day, I would've been dead because my iron was so low and it was affecting all my organs. :( The organs need oxygen to work properly and blood carries oxygen to the organs, but I'd lost so much blood that there wasn't enough oxygen (or blood) in my body to supply my organs.

So I had 4 blood transfusions, went home.. Ironically, or should I say maybe divinely, 2 weeks after my transfusions, I found out I had cancer, and approximately 2 weeks after that, i had a total hysterectomy for it. Thats why I say 2 is my blessed number..lol..

This all happened 5 years ago and my iron STILL is just barely within normal range.. :(
