		<description>Thank you again Bal.  I love when people share what G-d has done in them and through them.  It is ALL a gift and He is always Good.  Thank you.  I really needed to HEAR another believer state the same; which is what I was asking right before you wrote. Praise be to G-d.  Blessings to you and yours, Bal.</description>

		<description>One more thing.  As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord showed me something during a quiet time not too long ago.  I don&#039;t deserve ANYTHING good - that goes for salvation, healing, having my needs met, deliverance, a blessed marriage. All of the things that I have in my life are a GIFT from Him that I can have and enjoy. So my job, friends, family, ministry, comforts, marriage, sound mind, hot water, nice comfy bed, snuggly feelings, my doggies, peace and overall wellbeing (the list is very long) -- none of these things are OWED to me. So if I don&#039;t deserve anything, I can humbly make my petitions known to Him with thanksgiving. So if you desire a godly marriage partner, go ahead and ask the Lord -- but you don&#039;t have to ask a hundred times. Have expectation that God will eventually work it out for the overall good, and that He will fully take up your current desire and properly handle it for you if you will only believe and have enough faith, trust, and hope that He will do this for you. It really is that simple.</description>

		<description>The Word of God has many truth statements that when assimilated provide a good overview concerning marriage &amp; love. The Word of God says....Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.  That goes for everyone, whether you are single or married. You must not be unequally yoked. You can serve God together as a couple and be stronger than being by yourself. It is not good for man to be alone. God wants to fulfill the desires of your heart. It is good for a man to have a wife, as it keeps him from lusting. God knows that we are sexual beings...he blessed Adam &amp; Eve and commanded them to increase and multiply. Christ followers should be getting married and bringing godly children into the world. If you desire to be married, you have to bring something to the table.  What kind of person are you? Do you exhibit Christlike qualitiest that your future spouse would be attracted to? Are you involved in a fellowship of believers serving and being happy in the Lord? Are you willing to have your parents or your Pastor give you their blessing? Are you willing to wait for God&#039;s choice to come into your life? Are you praying for that person now in faith? Are you waiting exclusively for that person or are you testing the waters with others? Are you chaste and pure? If you desire a marriage partner, pray and believe that person is coming to your life at the perfect time. Watch your words and do not destroy with your words what God is planning and preparing. Be thankful for the person and love them as God would love them.</description>

		<description>Nikki, I can not help responding to your messages, but sweetheart, my heart is so touched by your situation. Know that God is big, he can handl your annoyance of him, he understands, You are going to have to either believe what God says or not. I use to think God hated my guts, I lived surrounded by hell, (fear). Satan would just lick me with it and I felt terrified, I don&#039;t even know why it came. I thought it came from God cuz satan tricked me. 

I got in to the full gospel of grace and oh my goodness, it healed my body, changed my mind and heart, made me so blissfully happy and contented most of the time that I feel like why get married, could I feel any more happy. Yet I got to realise sweetheart that my thoughts on someone should marry because they need them has changed to want them; cuz I was not feeling the need. A young girl I prayed for at the age of six, died of cancer, she was saved and I had so much faith, but I realised that those that were raising her was so much under the ministry of death, (LAW) well, not so much has AFTER SHE DIED. 

You see, someone preached on this and I got delivered because I THOUGHT God had favourites. What happens to someone else, does not have to happen to you, (if thy will); cuz we don&#039;t know what they truly believeD, what they listen too, what they know, how much they trust God. I stopped trusting in prayer for the sick.I trust now. If I ignored the word of God, I still would be in this terrible mind set of unbelief. God is not going to come down and place a bible or turn on God channel or drag us to church or pray, he will encourage us but that is has far as it goes. He is not about force so trust me when I say this. God wanted to save him more than you wanted him saved, it is God&#039;s will, satan wants you to believe it is not God&#039;s will; so now you have a battle, and the battle is in the mind. WHOSE REPORT ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE MY SISTER?

IF YOU KNEW HOW MUCH GOD LOVES YOU RIGHT NOW, YOU WOULD FAINT.</description>

		<description>Nikki darling, God is not out to get you, neither does he hate you or despise you because Jesus absorbed all of the anger and rath of God that belonged to us. My darling. He died in our place and you have got to get some understanding about the cross, not the wooden beam but the message of the Christ, who we are in Christ and his righteousness. This is important dear. Your husband felt fear, that kind of fear comes from the devil and fear brings with it, torment, according to the word of God. Satan can not touch us, but when things happens, God has nothing to do with it for God said, &quot;no weapon formed against you shall prosper.&quot; 

Trust God on this thou, he would have given your husband every opportunity to come near him and to let God intervene because Christ died for him. 

Hope you understand.

God bless</description>

		<description>Dear Claire Colvin, I believe that many on here who were encouraging Niki, must appreciate the hell of making a decision to end their life. We may not experience like a mother who experience her child that she loves so much being kidnapped, and such stories touches our lives cuz if we have children and love them very much, we normally imagine the worse and can&#039;t beleive how parents hold up under such intense nightmare of never seeing their beautiful child again.I beleive that many wanted to encourage Niki and show her that God has nothing to do with his decision cuz he does not, but he would be there at his darkest momments, encouraging him. I believe that satan overwhelmed him but God is able, if we are willing.

		<description>Magdelana dear, your comment to Niki was interesting. It is so beautiful to see so many of you all encouraging Niki, thats what makes the world go round but, you Magdelana, gave me food for fought. First off, God would be unjust to intervene in our decisions. He bound himself by his word and I bet that when her dear husband was deciding to do it, God was right there, discouraging him, satan would also be there, to egg him on. There must have been a battle; and unfortunatly, he decided to do it.

God gave the first man dominion over everything and when satan tempted them to sin, that&#039;s when they lost the glory, but God could not have intervened even then, because God owns the world but he gave it to Adam to manage it and in this life, a Manager has the authority to run the business, now, God woud be unjust to enter the world and say, why are you managing the business like that, just like an owner would not do that to a normal manager, God can not either, for God is a Spirit, he could not occupy the world in the way that humans can He built this world for us.However, because God is the Proprietor of planet earth, he can destroy it or intervene to save it when he did with the flood, the people that died in the flood was not fully human so God had to destroy it because satans plan was to corrupt the seed through which Jesus would come. That&#039;s why Jesus came as a man, (son of man) and has God, (son of God), to redeem mankind. But he died fully as a man to redeem us.

This is deep and God will fight for us to live, but the choice is left to us; for God must walk in his integrity. So sorry once again Niki.

I know you may not want to turn to God now, but he is your hope, your rock. Peace and love xxx</description>
