Well it has been much to long since I have been back to comment.

I must offer apologies to all. I am very overcome with service to the Lord at the ministry where I "work".  It is such a blessing to get PAID to serve the Lord isn't it? 

In the comment section of the last entry there was a very impassioned prayer request from Even_Roses_Have_Thorns  that dealt with many issues.  I feel so terribly sorry that I have not personally been able to respond but thank God that faithful servants such as mieyasha  who is so full of the Spirit to take the time to do what the owner of this site (ME) should be doing.  My plea is that I am asking that all that read this who are truly born again will pray and seek God's wisdom and favor to give discernment in helping Katie.

My time is very limited nowadays and I am truly sorry that I will not be able to participate on this site as I had thought I would.  God is the one who creates and plans our lives and this day was ordained for me before the world was ever created.  I will seek to check in as I can.

Basically what I am saying is PLEASE continue to bring your prayer requests here because there are still MANY visitors to this site every week and no doubt God is sending prayer warriors this way to lift your request before the Throne Room in Heaven.

Praise God.

God bless each and every one of you and thank you for your understanding.

Sola Gratia,

I guess I should start over by opening up a new post.  As I said, God has led me to make this site one of prayer and my prayer is that any requests that you have left here are being answered by the Lord. I know one certain prayer request has by someone who was trying to gain employment and I wanted to share the email with you:

"i sent u a mail saying that i was believing God for a bank job in Nigeria.

i know a lot of people were praying for me to get the job .
today i got a call from the bank saying their hiring me.

Isnt God AWESOME!"

I purposely left off the name due to privacy reasons, but if the person who wrote me this email wants to comment about it on this post, by all means feel free to do so.  And yes, GOD IS AWESOME!

So please continue to lift each other up to the Lord and leave any prayer request you have and I will gladly place them with the ministry where I serve that is connected to literally THOUSANDS of prayer warriors with the gift of intercessory prayer.

One last thing, I do not want any comments regarding the last post regarding abortion and especially any comments about the remarks that were left by any person.  If anyone chooses to leave a comment about the last post, I will just delete....pure and simple. This is no longer a debate site. 

All the previous posts prior to God changing the direction of this site have ample evidence of why we can believe God does in fact exist and why we can trust the Bible to be God's Word amongst a myriad of other topics that can help you defend you own faith in Jesus Christ.  But now we are focused on prayer and showing an unbelieving generation that God is indeed alive AND cares and LOVES you...no matter who you are or what you have done. 

I also must apologize but for security reasons, I will now be asking any visitor to this site, to sign in first before veiwing the site.  I pray you will be understanding.

So...with that being said...let the requests and praise reports commence.

Sola Gratia,

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."
Hewbrews 11:6

Well, I am sorry to see what has happened with this post.  Because I wanted to leave a link for someone whose site Xanga was rated X becaue it shows the horrible and sad truth about abortion, one person who had not commented here in a long time started what amounted to a war of words that was totally unnecessary and because of that, I will no longer allow that person to comment here.

I had been led of the Lord to turn this site into one of prayer and that it will continue to be so, but I also said I will from time to time add something if God indeed led me to share something that was of high importance.

The good news is that you can still go here www.xanga.com/the__portent and there you will see all the helpful links for any girl or woman in the very tragic state of having to decide whether or not to have an abortion.  With that said, I must WARN you that the site does tell the TRUTH about abortion in very graphic detail with many of the links you will find there.  There are only a few pictures, but these pictures, just like those of the holocaust MUST be shown so others may know the TRUTH about abortion.  Please go there at your own leading and risk.  

Just keep in mind, the vast majority of the site is filled with links with which to help others thinking about abortion or if you just need more education of what exactly abortion is.  That is why I am going to leave this VERY graphic link here:
http://abort73.com/HTML/I-case.html

In case pictures don't do you justice, perhaps video will....I don't know. That is between you and God.  But I do know as Christians, we are never to shy away from the Truth.

I am closing the comments on this now after seeing what has transpired. I apologize for the first few who commented that left kind and honest remarks.  I have not been able to give the attention to this site as needed due to personal conflicts in my life not giving me the time to be here lately.

The spinal decompression therapy has been very intense and 4 days a week. I leaves me worn out afterwards. Plus, I have had to deal with the death of the husband of someone I served with at church and she is not doing well.  This morning at church I found out her Father was in the hospital due to heart problems which is what killed her husband.  Praise God he is doing well and the prognosis is good.  When I visited him today, the Doctors said he should be out by this Tuesday so we certainly give God praise for that.

That is all for now.  Thank you for being understanding.

Sola Gratia,

Thanks to all who have given your prayer requests.  As promised I have and am bringing them before our host of prayer warriors. 

If you have any praise reports of your request that has been answered, please share it with us so we may give glory to our God and King that others may witness His goodness.  I want to change this nation and the only way we can do that is to humble ourselves and pray to our Creator who knows ever fiber of our being.

I would ask that you continue to leave your requests.  If I haven't gotten back to you personally either on my own site or visited your site to speak with you I will.  If I haven't visited you yet, please let me know.  I want everyone to know that their request is just as important as the next person's and I don't want any person to feel left out.

Let's give it ALL to God shall we?

Thank you in advance for all that you are doing by placing your faith in our most awesome and wonderful Lord and Savior.  Let us pray that the skeptics, agnostics and unbelievers will see the recorded praise reports that we have given and that God will reach deep in the recesses of their hearts to effect change unto salvation.

Sola Gratia,

Well friends, as you know this site has been a site dedicated to defending the faith, to help any who come here with questions or objections to hopefully help them find answers that in turn they can use to answer critics, skeptics and unbelievers as Peter admonishes us in 1 Peter 3:17.  Many of you have come here for a long time and I invite you to continue to do so and tell other to peruse the many entries that have been made if it will help them in defense of their faith in Christ.

It is obvious that I haven't been able to update lately.  I would like to ask you to continue to pray for the family I mentioned in the last post.  They are continuing to undergo extreme attacks from the enemy after having lost both a mother and their daughter.  I cannot even begin to bring to you the details of what they went through at the funeral of their precious 3 year old daughter.  Satan has hit them every which way he can, but praise God, they are standing firm in Jesus Christ.

What God has laid upon my heart is to take a turn in this site from one of apologetics to one of prayer.  Because of the ministry of which I am employed, I have the ability to take any prayer request you leave on this site and bring it before literally over 100,000 prayer warriors who are willing to intercede on your behalf before our awesome God.

So beginning now, if you have a request for yourself or someone you love or care about, please by all means leave your petition here and I will bring it before our army or prayer warriors.  I have seen God answer so many prayers and I know He can do the same for you as well.  I would like to be able to make it where there can be a box for the requests and a separate box for the prayer requests that God has answered. If anyone can help show me how to do that (if it is even possible) it would be greatly appreciated.  Also, we will most certainly make sure God is glorified on this site as prayers are answered.  I will do my best to check on an almost daily basis for requests and give updates.

One other thing, for those who have been coming here for the sole purpose of hoping to insult me or my brothers and sisters in Christ by profane and immature rants, you will find your comment deleted and yourself blocked...and your name on the prayer list that God will work to bring about change in your own heart.

Thank you all for your patience as we make this transition. Tell as many people as you feel comfortable to come here and leave their requests.

It's all about God my friends.  May He alone be glorified.

Sola Gratia
