Please pray for my new tragic situation |
Dear friends (fellow believers in the lord). I would appreciate some
prayer for a most recent and very tragic development in my life. Some of
my enemies have grouped together and struck me with a deadly blow. I
gave my enemies the bullets for such an attack by not being wise and
going on the offensive. I opened too much around them and even started
to trust them which was a mistake, as snakes cannot be trusted, its a
simple fact and by not recording all communication I had with them!
This should have been done but was not, which should be done in the
future. I have a nice tape recorder for such purposes (wont bother with
digital since there are no removable media and tapes can be sent to law
firms).
Mark my words I will defend myself against those that have caused me
such harm. Prayerfully these people will come to justice, and also the
Lord. I am seeking the advice of prepaid legal, which has promised me
one of the best law firms in the state of California. Hmm perhaps even
Arnold could be of assistance against such as these, if my case is
legit.
I ask other believers in the Lord to pray for me as I gather my evidence
against those that are out to harm me. The Lord has blessed me with a
nice tape recorder (which will be on in every phone conversation, and
encounter with those that represent my opponents), a Palm Zire 72 with
audio recording, and video abilities and such, and also a nice laptop.
Itıs so easy to get frustrated enough and want revenge on my opponents.
But this is not the way of the Lord. I want my enemies to see the lord
in my actions and please pray for their salvation.
I'd rather not get into the details and I ask that those that know me
well not also disclose any details here. All I can say is that perhaps
I am now beginning to see what life must be like for Jason Gastrich and
perhaps I might also be joining him in a season of hiding. Those that
have harmed Jason over the years come from the same group of people as
those that have recently harmed me and dealt a deadly blow, that I will
need to get legal advice to fight back against them.
These people they dislike Jason with such a fierce force that they also
share towards me and also other believers.
Thank you,
John
PS- JW I should have listened to you. You said I canıt be too friendly
with the opposition and I was. Its Godly to be loving and kind to
unbelievers and my enemies, but I went over the line to the point of
foolishness. I should have been recording every event, every phone
conversation, and all other types of contact.

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, please help Bible John in this special

done. You are a God of law, order and justice, and we love you, Lord and
know that you are also a God of grace. I also ask you to send Jason
peace in his situation to get along with the situation having to face
the enemy all over the years. I do not have to tell you, you know about
it all already. And please strengthen me, too, to get along with the
enemy in future and find the way you want us to go. We need your
guidance, Lord, and your peace and light. Please send it to us right
now.
Amen.

READ THIS, PLEASE:
And they called them and commanded them not to speak at all, nor to
teach in the name of Jesus.
But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right before
God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but
speak the things which we have seen and heard. So when they had further
threatened them, they let them go, finding no way as to how they might
punish them, because of the people. For all glorified God for that which
was done. For the man on whom this miracle of healing occurred was more
than forty years old. And being let go, they went to their own company
and reported what the chief priests and elders had said to them. And
having heard, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and
said, Lord, You are the God who made the heaven and earth, and the sea,
and all that is in them; who by the mouth of Your servant David has
said, "Why did the nations rage and the people imagine vain things? The
kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together
against the Lord and against His Christ." For truly, against Your holy
child Jesus, whom You have anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with
the nations, and the people of Israel, were gathered together in order
to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel determined before to be done.
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings, and grant to Your servants
that with all boldness they may speak Your Word, by stretching forth of
Your hand for healing, and miracles, and wonders may be done by the name
of Your holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place where they
were assembled was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy
Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness. (Acts 4:18-31

And snips whole lots of verses that talk about how others in the New
Testament prayed, as well as the instructions of others.
Not one of your citations shows that Jesus, himself, advocated public
prayer or instructed you to engage in it. Other than the specific
prayer that he recited later in Matthew, he never tells you to pray in
public. That others did so in the New Testament is not a justification
that you should do so. We're assuming, for the sake of argument, that
the New Testament is a record of deeds, words, and events, and if we do
that, Jesus was pretty clear about how you should pray. You violated
that with your public prayers in the public newsgroup that is open to
anyone to read.
Try again.
We need your guidance, Lord, and your peace and light.
Please send it to us right now.

Why didn't you answer this? Did he send it to you "right now?" Maybe
he didn't because you violated his prayer edict.

Mark, if God tells you to pray in secret, do so. He will know why he
recommends you this.
However, for me as a Christian this is my way to pray:
And toward midnight Paul and Silas prayed and praised God in a hymn. And
the prisoners listened to them. And suddenly there was a great
earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And
immediately all the doors were opened and all the bonds were loosened.
(Acts 16:25-26 MKJV)
Never underestimate the power of prayer.

According to orthodox Christian theology, Jesus was God. God said:
"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites: for they
love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the
streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have
their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and
when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;
and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."
Jesus's instructions about prayer, Matthew 6:5, 6
That's a pretty clear instruction. Anything else that occurs in the
New Testament that purports to relate the acts of others is in direct
violation of that instruction.

Vera, you really need to take a systematic theology course and learn
what praying actually is. According to you, Jesus was lying when he
said don't pray in public so everyone will know that you are praying.

when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and
thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

Dave,
That's Vera. That's an honest prayer in harmony with the Word.
A Usenet post?
I'm sorry but conflating a Usenet post with "prayer" gives me the giggles...

Sorry, don't buy.
The function of a Usenet post is to *be *seen in public. It's practically
tautology that posting "prayer" to Usenet is public grandstanding...

Mark,
What the function of Usenet is and what people use it for can be two
different things as evidenced by all the proselytizing that goes on
here from Atheists and Christians. Technically, Usenet is a place to
discuss stuff. Prayer is discussing stuff.
Phony prayers are a pet peeve of mine as you are aware. While I have
not met Vera I do communicate with her on the groups and via email. I
know her habit patterns well enough to know that she prays from her
heart which is nothing less than an exercise of free speech.
