For those of u that believe

I just wanted to say that the power of prayer is very real to a believer. Prayers made in unbelief are not heard. Moreover, effective prayer does not consist of requesting flower-strewn paths our whole lives through, or a release from death. Faithful, meaningful prayer is simply asking Christ to make Himself real in your heart, and He will.

Now, you and me are much alike, G/T. One does not have to prove God is real to me. I am going to be an old man soon, despite my denial in that area (lol), likewise, my beliefs are simply not going to be changed, in spite of tragedy in my life that is unspeakable ~ I have witnessed the Holy Spirit at work in my life. This happened because I said in my heart, "Jesus, if you are real, come into my life"!...That's it! Nothing else! He will!

The problem we have with God, as human beings - if we will be totally honest with ourselves - is that we don't want to give up the sins in our lives. We all come short of pleasing God with our own works, therefore, provision of salvation, Jesus Christ, is Gods' mercy, love and grace.

I will never attempt to prove God is real to any of you, because if God is God, He can work in your heart for himself, He shouldnâ??t need selfish, pathetic, futile ME to make His case, right? Give it a try, please, G/T. You will see a change. Just TRY it!

hey, i respect that man.. i'd just like to say, though, that i have 'given it a try'.. i was raised in a religious family (jehovahs witnesses), and now that ive matured some, ive read their texts, studied their beliefs, and questioned their rules, all with an open mind.. and its made me go from believing to not believing.. but hey, like i said in the 'life of a geek' thread by meek mike, as long as we respect eachothers beliefs, and get high, then it doesnt matter what we believe, coz its still all good.. i dunno, im drunk

thanks guys very much the baby is off the breathing machine and breathing on his own now. he still cant drink from a bottle on his own but doin better everyday. I just got back from the hospital i was there with my sister for the last few days. He is gaining well and gettin stronger each day . she is home now, well i should say discharged from the hospital she wont leave. I dont blaim her. She has high hopes and docs say things are goin well. They said he'll be fine . so we just have to wait for him to gain more and eat on his own then they'll talk about letting him go home. Still lookin like a few weeks. Im not goin to complain atleast hes goin to be ok now . Anyways thanks guys all of u are like a lil family to me and I want u all to know that ur prayers mean alot and for u that dont belive just the thoughts help ty all. xxxx
