Hi Mark, I'm glad to hear from you again, and for your updates and posts. I urge you to register, so you can see the other forums we have. It only takes a moment, but I do appreciate you coming back to the site. I have had my times in relationships where my heart was completely broken, and I couldn't seem to let go of certain things, but then I came to find God. I released my past to Him, knowing that He would guide me into a brighter future. I forgave myself of the things that were weighing on my mind, and things started to change. I continue to pray for you. May God Bless you greatly, and help your Spirit be lifted more each day that comes.

" Lord, make me glad according to the days in which I have been afflicted and the years I have seen evil ( Psalm 90:15 ). Thank You that You will make all things new and You are making me new in every way ( Revelation 21:5 ). Help me to keep my eyes looking strait ahead and to forgive what needs to be forgiven. I know You want to do something new in my life today. Help me to concentrate on where I am to go now and not where I have been. Release me from the past so I can move out of it and into the future You have for me. "

" Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. "

( Isaiah 43:18-19 ).

God Bless you Mark.

-Jess

I am glad my posts bring encouragement to you. It touched me that there are some Real Honest People out there, who really care, and that are there for each other. I continue to pray for you, and I hope all is going well. I recently lost my job today, but I continue to keep my strength and move on to better things. God Bless you Mark, and please pray for me as well...I am a little upset right now. Thanks so much.

Jess

I will indeed continue to pray for you Jess and about your recent circumstances. I'm very sorry to hear your news today. I know how difficult that can be. I give thanks to the Lord that you are such a woman of faith and like myself God will lead you through it with victory. The best part about that is you already know and believe it!

God Bless you Jess

Mark

Hello Dear Friend.
I hope that you get a book out at the library called: "The 10 Commandments of A Hostile Working Environment" by T.D. Jakes.
This book will give you revelation knowledge into the way the enemy works to tear down your "walls" of faith, hope, love and trust in GOD and fellow believers. T.D Jakes says that work was not given to you for you to be affirmed. GOD through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit affirms us along with our loved ones. Work is a blessing from the Lord that should be thought of and treated as it implies: WORK! Whenever other Intercessors write these things, I feel personal hurt for them as I am somewhat "fragile" with respect to such matters. Someday, dear Friend, all of us will meet together and have a great time talking about what we love to talk about most: Christ, our Deliverer. Take care and remain strong in who you are and in WHOM you serve. I love you.

Hi Jess.
Jess, I hope that all of your personal contributions from your life journal to help us to heal from all of the curve balls that life throws at us...well, Jess, I hope that you helping so many that way, ECLIPSES your feeling the "blues" over this job. I am feeling your sadness through the distance and my prayers are with you. I think you are very fragile and incredibly generous. Father GOD, in Jesus name, please shower our Friend, Jess with Your unfailing love and compassion. Speak to Jess personally so that she KNOWS above all things, who she is and in WHOM she serves. We give You honour, glory and praise for blessing those of us who have been blessed by her contributions now and until You call her to a new assignment (hopefully no time soon). We glorify and exalt Your name because we know that You had a personal hand in sending Jess to speak to us through YOU. Father, please bless Jess with a new and better job with far better wages and benefits. Holy Spirit we ask that YOU absorb Jess's sadness over the loss of this job and recreate a new heart of joy and peace in You. We ask these things of You, Father, because You said..."Ask and it shall be given, for unto him who asks, it shall be given"......"Whatsoever you ask in MY name, by faith believing, it shall be given to you." Lord Jesus, be it unto us this day, through our faith believing that all these things will be accomplished for Your glory and honour. Amen!

Christian 737, I want to encourage you to not take things personally (backstabbing at work etc.) as the people who are doing these things are very unhappy people. This is why they go around stirring the pot, and keep things going. Instead of you feeling bad, feel bad for them. Again they are not happy! I pray that God is with you at work, and will help you over any obstical that is put in your path! Sincerely, kweig.

God's blessings,

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. It's incredible how
mere "words" can make or break a persons day, week, month, year.
You know what, though? When you are in the midst of an angry person spewing out venemous, toxic expletives and taking the name of the Lord in vain, it's difficult to bear and remain Christlike at the same time. One of the things that scares me for nonbelievers is that they have no fear or revereance for GOD because they don't see HIM. Just read the Book of Revelation and you really do fear for their Eternal destination. Obviously, that's why GOD instructs us to "pray" for them. Again, thanks for the uplifting words!

Dear Jess, You have been in my prayers several times everyday along with Rich who wrote me concerning his pending divorce. I had to voluntarily leave my last job Jess because of the hate, lies and pessimism exibited by two of the employees their. It just drained my batteries too much after three years of employment. You know better things will come along although it is very painful as you're feeling when the wound is brand new. I recently received an affidavit of consent concerning my divorce. I want to share with you all what I will write back to her lawyer. I DO NOT consent. I love my wife with all my heart all my soul all my strength and all my mind. I love my wife more than my own life. Please continue praying for us that my wife a beautiful, huge-hearted, Christian woman sees the light and obeys the Lord's desire for us to reconcile, grow our relationship in love and not divorce.

Mark
