sid roth

feeds@kickapps.com (shrewdlydone) — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 19:24:59 PST

Have any of you ever heard of Sid Roth? He is a Messianic Jew- google him and you will find his website- there are some very powerful stuff and I've just read a little. One thing that struck me though was in one of his article he talks about how America has been shielded for the most part from dealing with a lot of the demonic stuff that goes on in the rest of the word- especially Africa, but how that was soon going to come to an end and that we needed to prepare ourselves for it by having Christ live in us and not just sit in a pew on Sundays.
Anyway, I was just curious to see what others thought of him.
Thanks!

mocking

feeds@kickapps.com (shrewdlydone) — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 19:12:42 PST

Lately I have been seeing all the mocking that goes on around us on a daily basis and it has really been bothering me. Mocking and making fun of people has become such a way of life that we don't even think about it. I get emails all the time that make fun of the faults of men/husbands- ones that make fun of children or parents or in-laws. I recently attended some family get-togethers and was sad at the level of humor at the expense of others came from my family. I love listrening to talk radio(I stay at home with my kids and we don't watch tv- so it is my way of connecting with the outside world) and I am just saddened by how often they make fun of any that don't agree with them- one even made jokes about one of his co-workers for a while and then went on to say that we need to come together as a country. How can we come together if we are constantly tearing each other down as humor?
My husband and I like to do playful...

Believe or agree

feeds@kickapps.com (louise) — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 05:43:26 PST

There has been a million words spoken on the way people believe.
And yet to see a changed life is another thing.
So that must be where the agreement comes in.
Today as I read yet another headline of moral decline in our churches as well as the country in general, it brings it into clearer focus.
   As with the priest so with the people.   Untill the church takes a stand for the pure words of Christ, the people will be lulled into a false sense of security.
That ole "everybody is getting away with it". Don't judge, is the cry of the day.
A persons own words are going to be their judgement.    (John 5;30)
There is just as much diffrence between discernment and judgement as there is between believe and agreement.
When we see all around falling into deception we can discern that. To do...

Visit to Zion this next week

feeds@kickapps.com (disciplet) — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 10:21:54 PST

Hello all,

I will be leaving here Saturday morning for a week long visit to Zion per the Lord's instructions. It started out as a Church Conference but now it has "evolved" into a personal vacation and spiritual pilgrimage. I would like to fellowship with any on this board who might live in the Independence area. Especially Doug, Matt and others whom have become good friends here. A good chance to meet people face to face and fellowship.

We will be staying at the Quality Inn in Independence. We also hope to have time to Visit Nauvoo.

So hope to see some of you there. If you would like my cell # then please email me at disciplet@yahoo.com.

In Christ,

Tom

Tongues & Prayer Language

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 10:49:37 PST

This is a subject that has been on the back-burner for me for quite a long time now, but because it seems to cause some confusion in the Body of Christ, and because I remain confused about it, I wanted to bring it up here to explore and pray over.

I'm know I don't understand this yet ...
but, it seems to me that just as the "rapture" theory seems to be a confusion between two different events that take place at two different times.
1. gathering
2. being caught up into the clouds to meet Jesus when He comes in glory

It seems like something along these lines might be happening with tongues, and I am hoping to hear from other about it as part of my seeking.

Seems like there is the GIFT OF TONGUES, with its close relative, the GIFT OF INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES...
which is among the list of many different gifts listed in the scriptures, of which Paul seems to go out of his way to suggest, not every man has the same gifts.

[1 Corinthians 12:8] For...

It's awfully quiet on this board nowadays. Has everybody left?

Daily sacrifices

feeds@kickapps.com (shrewdlydone) — Mon, 24 May 2010 16:12:16 PST

I just completed a Beth Moore Bible study course on Daniel. I highly recommend it- I learned so much about Daniel and the Bible! It really was amazing. She has a DVD session that introduces the chapter at the beginning of the week and then you have daily homework that you complete that goes more in depth with that chapter. Anyway, I had missed a couple of sessions because it was my turn to watch all the kids so I was able to listen to her introductions on CD(mainly in the car while driving). The lesson for this particular week was Chapter11, Daniel had just had a vision about the reign of Antiochus III and how he is the forerunner of the Antichrist. She talks about one of the things he did was to stop all the daily sacrifices and how this would make the people feel more separated from God. She asked what daily sacrifices we make in our lives today. It got me thinking about reading the scriptures and how we are supposed to read...

Less Politics, More Fruits of the Spirit

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Mon, 03 May 2010 06:02:35 PST

There are plenty of snares being laid out for the Saints to get caught in these days.
One of them has been of particular concern to me since the election of President Obama, because I see so many people I know being caught up in it... and I have seen its ill-effect on their souls.

Practically every day I receive numerous email forwards from Christian friends, passing along some negative commentary or accusation leveled at our President, or our government. Many of these emails carry a spirit of anger and fear. Whether they are true or not, I have bore witness to the negative effects upon the spiritual life of those caught up in it. Some have needed deliverance from it!

Beginning just prior to the elections until this time, I have received emails of this type numbering in the many hundreds! Most I will simply delete anymore. Maybe 1 in 5, I will open in curiosity, and then go do some fact checking. Out of the dozens of emails I did some fact checking on, probably...

How to Train your Dragon

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Mon, 03 May 2010 04:58:21 PST

So, my wife and I saw the CGI animation movie "How To Train Your Dragon" this weekend.
It was a very CUTE, funny, and enjoyable. It was well worth seeing it in IMAX 3-D.
Fun movie for kids and adults alike.

What's new

feeds@kickapps.com (louise) — Sat, 01 May 2010 08:21:18 PST

Saw the live program last night on daystar tv of the 'World revival church' there in KC.
It really had a good message. Strong meat for the churches , but well recieved I hope.
Does anyone else know anything about that group?
There doesn't seem to be as many sites to visit to keep up with what is going on in the center place.
What happened with the centerplace site? Thought I read that it closed.

It's been pretty quiet here.... are you all as busy for the Lord as I am? ...what's going on in your life?
Hope you are gaining new and exciting testimony and experiences every week!

Restoration Christian Fellowship

feeds@kickapps.com (disciplet) — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 11:46:46 PST

Greetings to all in the name of Christ our Savior,

I am posting here about a new Latter Day Saint Fellowship that myself and
Seventy Robert Harley from the Church of Jesus Christ, Restored 1830 have started. It
is called the Restoration Christian Fellowship.

We started this because we see the need for independent churches and ministries
to answer the call of Christ to strive for he Unity of the faith and
non-contention as prayed for by Jesus Christ.

We also recognize there are many churches and ministries that want to work
together but don't want to "convert" to each others churches. Even though there
are several that are feeling the need to work together for the sake of the
kingdom of God and for Zion.

And plus we also recognize the many independent Latter Day Saints who no longer
belong to a church for whatever reason but would like to participate in the
blessings of the...

Crosses

feeds@kickapps.com (servant) — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 11:54:48 PST

I was visiting a prisoner last night. He works on a team and something went wrong that wasn't his fault. But the whole team got laid off for a month. He was struggling with being upset. He was being punished for something he didn't do.

I said to him, "Soooooo, you want to wait until you are guilty to be crucified?......"

We get so indignant when "It wasn't my fault!" "I didn't do it!" Jesus said to take up your cross and follow Him. He says, "I am the way."

We like getting our sins forgiven. But suffering when we are innocent......"Did you see that guy cut me off in traffic?!....I was just minding my business....."

Jesus would look at you and say, "Yeah......the nails hurt...yeah...the cross is heavy....yeah...they hate you....yeah...they may spit on you..."
He would sigh and say, "Yeah....you are innocent....are you coming?....the hill's this way....I know the way....."

tomorrow's the day!

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!

We're all snowed in here, winds blowing - making big snow drifts. And it's cold.
The whitest Christmas Missouri has seen in 20 years, and it all started on Christmas Eve.
I finally got my wish.
Merry Christmas to you all.

Kings and their kingdoms

feeds@kickapps.com (servant) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 04:33:51 PST

We, in this, hopefully, still free land...have little or no experience with kings and their ways.
I have been looking at this. These are some of my thoughts:

It is one thing to petition, pray that a king do something for you. He may grant it...or not. Either way, you should be grateful that He heard you.
Kings get lots of feedback. Much from sycophants and people with political agendas. It is good to them to hear true gratefulness.

It is quite another thing to be the king's ambassador....to represent His authority...to wield His power to wage war...to bring His word to the world.

He calls out ambassadors from among His people.

But what if one takes this authority and power and represting Him in His name without His calling? Whether this one is good or evil....will they not be accounted as those who were of His calling? If they are good, He will commend them, as He was needing ambassadors. If they are evil He will add to...

how does one consecrate a home?

feeds@kickapps.com (everythingsused) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:00:31 PST

I think I might have asked this question before- I am reading your book, Doug, on spiritual warfare and you mention consecrating your home so evil spirits are forbidden entrance. How is this done? Is this something I can do for my home or do I need and Elder or Priest or someone else to do it for me? And do I need to ask my husband or can I just do it without him knowing? I don't think he would mind if it was me doing it- he might roll his eyes but that would be all- but if I needed someone else to come and do it, I think he might object- plus I have no clue who I would ask.
Great book, by the way- I'm getting a copy for my dad as a late b-day present.
