prayer requests?

If anyone has any prayer requests please let me know!!!

felt the Lord's power today

I felt really focused on my bike ride into work today. I tried to actually focus on what was going on instead of the petty trivial things that are usually in my head. When I got to work today(things have not been going well business wise) I shouted very loudly "that this business belongs to the Risen Lord Jesus Christ and in his name this place is clean of any spirits that might be stopping business or holding us back"! I think I might of said it a little better than that but I was kind of swept up in the whole thing. Then about 5 minutes later a patron walked in to the shop. This was his third trip to the studio and this time he brought two new people. As soon as I got done giving the new people a tour another customer arrived. He knew exactly what he wanted and he was out the door 20 minutes later. My operating system is on a PC, not a fan! The other people put some items on hold and should be back in a week to rent! Very excited to see the way the Lord is working in my life. Thank you all for the prayers I can fell there power. Peace be with you!

feeling blessed

I feel blessed today. I feel at ease today about a few things that have been bothering me. I also got an answered prayer last night. Walter called from Eureka, he has a place to stay! He got a room in a clean & sober living facility. He is sharing the place with 20 other people but he seems happy. It also turns out to be near everything he needs, senior center(free meals on the week days), post office & the social security office. So he is happy, well as happy as he can be with his failing health, but even that is all really in the Lord's hands. He can keep Walter going as long as he wants.

Thank you Lord Jesus for all you have given me, please help me stay strong against the powers of the enemy. I do my best Lord but I feel very weak. Help me build my strength in you oh Lord!

Peace be with you all

the Lord's plan for us

Last night during my Alpha class we discussed to Lord's plan for us. Nicky Gumble gave quite a few examples in his life and in people he knew about the Lord putting people where they belong. I think my eyes have been closed too what the Lord wants from me. I feel like when I pray I'm just telling Jesus allot of things but I'm not really listening to his will. I need to slow down more and listen for the Lord. There is an idea that the Lord might have put in my head, but I'm not sure if it came from him though. So I'm going to pray on it and see what the Lord does about it.

I got word on Sunday about my friend Walter in Eureka, he is still alive and is staying at a homeless shelter. He told our mutual friend thanks for the prayer it seems to be working. For a guy who is not a believer I find that really amazing!! It just proves that all things are possible in our Risen Lord and Savior Jesus.

Two weekends from now the Alpha class is going on a retreat. I'm very excited, were going to be out there for about 24 hours. They have a ton of games and events too do but I think my plan is to find some where nice and just chill and enjoy the Lord's beautiful day.

Thanks to everyone for the prayers, peace be with you.

prayers for Walter

Walter left the hotel room he is staying at in Eureka, I;m not sure if he has a place to stay but I'm sure he has something figured out. Please pray for him brothers and sisters in Christ. Peace be with you

not doing great

Things are going okay in my physical life. I'm not making a ton of money but I like my job and think big things will come from it eventually. My major problem is my soul, it's damaged. Satan has his claws in me pretty deep. I would be lying if I said anything different. He has so much power over the things that I do. I'm very ashamed and pray allot(between devilish deeds) but keep trying to get into trouble. I love the Lord and need his guidance. I try to read Proverbs everyday, lots of wisdom in that book. Looking forward to church this weekend and the Alpha class after that. I've missed the last three videos so I will have to watch those and catch up. Alpha class has the getaway in two weeks, I think that might just be the highlight of my summer. Pray for me, and peace be with you in our Risen Lord!!!

answered prayers

I'm friends with a man in his 70's who had decided to kill himself last month. He has terminal cancer and a few other health issues that make living life difficult. My friend is not a believer and it actually quite against religeon in general. I prayed quite a bit on the subject and told several members of my church about it also. My friend told me later that he tried his hardest to pull the trigger but he just couldn't do it. He even went as far as to drink a bottle and a half of vodka to get the courage. Of course the Lord's will was done and he didn't do it. He has now decided to except dying and try to enjoy the rest of the time he has. His last request from me was that he wanted to move out of LA and go to Eureka a small city in the northern part of California. So last Friday I rented a car and drove him the 750 miles up there. He is staying at a hotel right now but the room will be up soon and he will have to find a place before that. His name is Walter and he could use all the prayers you can muster. Peace be with you all.

praying for the Lord's help

I just found out that the IRS is going to seize the business I work for in 2 weeks. The problem stems from the 2011 taxes that were not filled out properly. I believe that the Lord will work out this problem and if he doesn't then it's not his will for me to work here any more. I thank the Lord for all he has given me and for the chance at everlasting life through his sacrifice. Other than that I also have some nerve damage in my face after I had some wisdom teeth removed last week. I've been doing allot of drugs and eating way too much food lately, I'm not proud of either of these facts. I have a sex addicts meeting tomorrow in the morning and know I need this very badly. Pray for me friends, peace be with you.

made it too my first ssa meeting today

I got up at 6:30 this morning and felt very much like going back to sleep till 8. I knew I had to wake up and go to this SSA meeting in North Hollywood. If I didn't I would have one more out of control week. It's strange to realize how screwed up and addicted to weird stuff I am. I have allot of different triggers. The last week that I have been in my addiction I am ashamed to say that I rarely thought of the Lord. This pains my heart. It shows where I put the Risen Lord on my list of priorities. He is great if I don't have any drugs or porn. This is all stuff I have to work on. I'm praying that the Lord will help me find a good sponsor. I'm also going to San Diego this weekend. I hope we don't hang out with too many women. I don't want to be tempted. I'm pretty tempted at the moment. Thank you Lord Jesus for the Love that you show for us your humble children. Please Lord Jesus my faith is not as strong as I want it to be but I still Love you with all that I have, please Lord grant me strength in you so  that I may say no to the things that will harm me and hide your Light from me. Peace be with you all brethren in Christ

Back too my old ways

I've been partying since Thursday. I'm disappointed in myself, not so much for the drug use, the main reason is the constantly lustful thoughts. I have to make it too the sex addicts meeting tomorrow morning. I need a sponsor very quickly so I have someone to be held accountable too. Other than all my recent troubles things are going okay. Friday night at my church Ecclesia were giving out free coffee to the homeless of Hollywood. Were starting at 10:30 and going past midnight, it should be pretty fun. The week after that I'm helping with a big clean up at the church. Were still probably moving in July so there are allot of things to be done. Pray for me brothers and sisters in Christ as I pray for you. Peace be with you
