Christian Chat

Hi @heartathome , @DownMoreThanUp , @Appleblossom , @ENKELI , @REDLINEZ750 , @MissGremlin , @tyme , @AlwaysMyself ,

John 17

Jesus prays:

- "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son so that the Son may glorify You, ... I have glorified you on the earth by completing the work you gave me to do. Now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with that glory I had with You before the world existed."

- Mentions Jesus giving eternal life to everyone God has given Him. "This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One You have sent - Jesus Christ."

- Jesus prays for the people God gave Him. For protection through Jesus' name that they may be one. Doesn't pray that God take them out of the world but that God protects them from the evil one.

- "I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in Me through their word." Wants us all to be one so the world may believe.

- "Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, so that they will see My glory, ... that the love You have loved me with may be in them and I may be in them.

While Jesus' teaching is mostly simple and concise His prayer is an outpouring. Two times Jesus remembers the glory He had before the world was created. The repeated prayer is that Christians may be one and that oneness is in God's love.

Thanks @Realness It's the only Word I'm getting at the moment apart from my daily verse! I appreciate you! 💜

i cycled out of my alter and the difference is amazing me. i didn't not feel ill waking up, have had no acid reflux or nausea and went for a wonderful beach walk at 7am this morning. The Sky blue, no wind and hardly any on the beach. And i had energy, we walked for around 50 minutes, even following a dried up creek for a bit to see where it would lead.

Jesus and i have been talking events over together ever since, even as He clarifies why things have been as they have been, and why things are now as they are now. Talk about having been divided within, also salvation wise.

So many things are becoming clear to me now and i have renewed hope for my future in and with our dear Lord in the immediate future. Also my Elder wrote me and promised me he be around as soon as he has some spare time for a chat.

He was very comforting and understanding and open to discuss the issues i had been having with legalism in our midst. For i been triggered on Sunday, and this event dragged me though the turbulent days that unfolded after that. While all i did was listen in on a sermon in our Sunday morning service online for my wife liked the sermon of that preacher from before.

Yet in his sermon he took believers in Church on a guilt trip, painting God's wrath on those not stopping their sins straight away, to be the fires of hell awaiting those who did not repent of their sins, for He hates sinners.

While faithfully mentioning the common sins religious/legalist/judgemental people have issues when other believers are stuck with such sins. And i recalled how often in my past, i had left Church to try and do ALL the things the pastor told us to do, but only made my struggle worse, and Jesus would NEVER come to my aid or help me overcome my sin.

This is why in my raging alter i had for so long denied Jesus as true, because they were not, so i did not think He was either. Yet i have been mourning Jesus all month missing out on Him in my raging alter, and all the suffering this caused me, and my loved ones lives for the last 30 years.

So hopefully things will pick up from here. Health physically as well. i cannot believe how much more energy i have compared to yesterday. Yesterday having to fix an single fitting on a pipe my wife broke, which took me all of ten minutes to do had me sick and shaking from exhaustion for hours afterwards, yet today i walked 3 miles without any difficulty not even heavy breathing.

Talk about amazing grace friends! And we all know Him like this! Can you see Family Jesus placed us miles ahead of those who are still blind to see the depth of God's grace and mercy in their lives.

So humbling to know that.........

(A song perfectly describing my cry for healing that fell on deaf ears for so long praying to the fraud of my religion and not The Truth of God's love as brought us by our Lord Jesus! The truth the author found, explained before the music starts, i found for myself as well.)

@ENKELI

I agree there are many restrictions and contstraints on how we need to be in this New World we live in, online and often in person. It is hard to keep everyone happy. I respect the mods.

Thank you for keeping me and our christian chat in your prayers. I send you my prayers in your sense of liberation from others opinions.

I feel quiet, but sending a gentle solemn cooee to all reading and passing through. Hoping your days have good moments.

Here are our 2 litter brothers, whom we loved for 20 years, whose ashes we have scattered at the local beach and the river, and our new litter sisters relaxing with each other. We have been very fortunate to have beautiful animals with beautiful trusting affectionate relationships with each other and with us. Gratitude.

God Bless.

Thanks for the tag @Appleblossom I'm still waiting for the photos to come up. 💜

EDITED

The photos have come up now and they're beautiful! I love how the cat's cuddle together! I'd forgotten how affectionate they could be!

I had a cat that used to sleep under the blankets with me and put his little head on the pillow. I still miss Aka. He was a long white haired, blue eyed, cross eyed, runt of a litter that someone was trying to get rid of. He had the cat flu as well and would get it every winter. He was my mate! 🥰

Hey @DownMoreThanUp ,

Thank you for sharing about recent events. I'm glad to hear that you have had beautiful fellowship with the Lord in his creation.

Keep looking up and may his blessings be upon you.
