Finally I am here!

Hello and welcome to CC. Glad to have you here. See you around the forums

Blessings ❤️

Thanks. I am only a member of another Christian Forums group, and I am being kept very busy in both sites. I love sharing and learning God's wonderful truths and wisdom. But petty arguing and false assumptions and accusations don't help anyone. I will be a peacemaker when that happens, if the moderators don't rebuke such.

Great. Peacemakers are always welcome

Hello and welcome to CC, Bill. It’s good of you to share with us a bit about yourself, your marriage and family. I hope you find this space enriching and helpful.

I truly believe in the power of intercessory prayers and I feel it’s a very important ministry to which the Lord has called you. No detail of our lives, no concern about our loved ones, can ever escape God’s notice, and we believe He is pleased when we bring even the smallest of our needs to Him in prayer. In fact, He instructs us to do so: “In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6). Blessings to you and yours!

But I exhort and give constructive criticism too when the Holy Spirit urges.

Have you read that book. The first half is the best part and encouraged me to give-up my free reading time of fiction books in order to do intercessory praying.

***In response to 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18—
“Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
I thought such would be impossible,
but one day The Holy Spirit told me to imagine a spiritual conveyor belt inside my mind
onto which I could put prayer concerns on and that He would also intercede for.
Romans 8:26-- “Likewise The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought;
but The Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
In other words, we should have an attitude of compassion for others
which requires unselfish prayer.
After I read the book about Reese Howells back in early 1975,
I have done a lot of intercessory prayer
and God has blessed me with so much divine peace and later divine joy
when I hear or read of good results.
So I continue watching the news for people to pray for.
Usually it takes tragedy or other challenges to happen to cause individuals to need God.
God prefers such communication with His adopted children
instead of selfish praying or complaining.
Loving God more and more and doing intercessory praying
are my core during my daily ministering and sanctification.

God bless you and your family.

Yes, we have alot who do that too.

Some legitimate. Some not so much.
