I will pray for your health Robert and I will light a candle at work today so that even when I am not praying a light burns for you. And for the battered womans shelter. What a marvelous thing.
Good news on Emma her dermatomyositis is stable again. They had to put her back on the full dose steroid med. They tried to taper her but her body wont let them. It breaks my heart.
Good news that my son, Emmas dad, and I had a very good conversation the other day. I love him so. He will always be the little boy that loved to tell me silly jokes and make up ridiculous rhyms etc. Once he said mom here is a gift for you, it sounds like hank and you can blow your nose on it. Or the jokes he made up and then fell on the floor in hysterical laughter.
Times are hard, we must be tough. I was in the pawn shop the other day and a man and his family were ahead of me and he said to the worker that this was his first time there and when he had all his goods assessed for selling them he then took off his gold wedding band and gave it too. I just about broke down crying. Please pray for this mans family. I dont know what turn of events brought him into the store but we will see more and more of this kind of thing in the future I think. I hope Gd is merciful to us and provides. Wouldnt it be something if despite all this ALL of Gds people were taken care of and some how were better off. I wish it so.
Dear Robert.
Our lives should be lived in this world with the service to others, but also as a conversation with the LORD. Someday, He will invite us over to His House, and we leave our servanthood to go and visit the King.
I cannot blame you for the wonderment, or question about is it a bad thing to die, and go to heaven. Of course it is not bad. The fact that it is not the 'final answer' is the part we forget to talk about. Now you must discuss with those around you the things to do when you have been called to visit the King. It will only be for a little while. Mind you.
Should the LORD desire to return your health today, then you must still continue to converse and fellowship with Him in Worship and prayer as a comfort to the friends and family around you, too. I cannot promise health or promise fellowship, either one. But you know, you have the on going conversation that is only known to you and your King. If you are so commanded, share what He tells you. But do not make anything up. If He has a word for you to deliver, He will make it an unavoidable issue for you to deliver it. Much like Jonah, and Elijah.
I pray, for you, that the fellowship you receive in this world mirrors the relationship you have with the King. I pray your rest and your time of worship become so comforting that they fulfill your needs. I pray that the affliction you are suffering comes to a speedy remedy. I pray that the discomfort is nothing more than you can endure, and is nothing longer than the King requires to accomplish what must come to pass.
I pray that those who are dependant upon you will draw on the lessons you have shared with them, and find strength.
But most of all I pray, the Promise of the LORD in your day..That you come to full understanding, and have no doubt what to do and or say tomorrow, because of today.
bye for now,
In the Name of the LORD and our King I pray these things.

I will pray the prayer of Jabez for you and the man. Sometimes money means nothing![ Michael Jackson for example ] , but I pray ! [Chronicles 4:10]; And Jabez called on the G-d of Israel, saying. Oh that you would bless me indeed , and enlarge my borders, and that your hand would be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that it may not cause pain to me,and G-d shall grant that which we request. I stand with you in agreeement of this Kim. Thank you for the prayer , I'm still breathing! Robert, and Pam
I read a good book today and its too good to keep to myself. I get most of my books at used books sales etc and when I see one that is in good condition with an interesting topic I get it so I can exchange it for one I do want on line in my book club paperbackswap. Anyway, the book is The Scent of Anointing: Equipping Men For Exceptional Living
by Andy Smith. It is about the anointing oil of Exodus and it is a book to show men how to protect their families by first getting their lives right and I couldnt put it down. Its not very long and it only took an hour to read it I might just have to send this one to one of my sons or my future son-in-law. Its not heavy handed at all and it breaks down the four ingredients in the anointing oil of Exodus and you can almost smell the cinnamon. Gd is so wonderful to make these ways for men to draw closer to him. Its all symbolic ofcourse since Christians dont actually get to do this I dont think anyway but none the less moving and I recommend it if you ever get the chance to read it. It reminds me of the books I sent my brother and sons about YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES. A book to encourage and motivate men to be the men Gd wants them to be. When I finished it I asked Gd if I could have one, but He keeps saying my grace is sufficient and I have taken a vow of celibacy. 11 years now and never felt closer to Gd than I do today. I am able to do much more for Gd in service without a partner. Gd is the leader of my home and He takes such good care of me and my family. I have no complaints.Gd bless you.

I will look the book up, and read , Thank you ,Pam and I are celibate as well, because of insurance , and pensions would be taken away if we marry,and my medical is astronomical! we live in two locations of the home , but share our companionship in Christ. It feels like a monastary ; with the location ,gardens, and animal habitat, and up on a ridge overlooking a river][ If we sold it we would lose the lives of the animals , and economic times are bad for sale] We have been persecuted by a church we built , and started , and called all kind of names,and left it , but I was brought to this forum, and many others of Judaic believers [ G-d always has a plan][ to speak of Yehoshua's words] I was a Christian singer but my accident left me deaf, and with broken jaws, still needing another surgery, but we know our relationship with our Father is Holy, and He has given us special gifts[ Mine was to solve puzzles][ Pam's discernment] . If one cannot be happy within himself/herself; no one will fulfill that but G-d, Many blessings , Robert
I am afraid I keep asking for prayer for myself. Over the weekend my left knee blew out , so I think I will need two knee replacements, my left foot bones fused, and I tore out a rotor cup in my arm 2 weeks ago, they say needs surgery now. 2 days ago I tore a 2 inch gash from knuckle to knuckle on my right hand gardening , and got 7 stiches , and they splinted my hand to imobilize it.Pam told me to quit before I did it , and I thought I knew better. She has a great discernment of G-d. I should have listened! Please pray that G-d makes me listen, and not be so headstrong, and she would forgive me ! Thanks , Robert
I would ask all who believe in the G-d of Israel to pray for Pam and my friend Nadeen Biddenger. Her cancer has returned, and she is undergoing a full masectomy. She knows of Yeshua but does not entirely understands His Salvation given from G-d. I pray first for her accepting Yehoshua as her Saviour, and for a full physical healing of her cancer. Thankyou, and I pray for all those who need His healing as well! I see many have come to this thread, and I know that we all know the G-d of Israel is the only G-d that has ever been, and ever will be! I pray as believers we would lay our differences aside, and pray together as Judaism, and Christians in the name of the Father ; The G-d of Israel. We did that once and the rain fell on the dry land that had not rained for 6 months, and snowed on Jerusalem. G-d is Here among us. I pray the covenant be fulfilled ;written upon our hearts in love for each other ; that one day ;All shall know him, Shalom.
I went to the Orthopedic hospital yesterday, and was told that the pain in my arm was not my rotor cup, but the disks in my neck were gone from an injury, and deterioted from falling 25 feet years ago. I cut the tendon on my hand last week from the numbness in my hands from the neck. I also need two knee replacements, my left foot bones fused , and my jaws relined,and new teeth, because the roots died in the fall, and my septum straigtened in my nose , and I am 70% deaf . That does not make very good qualifications for a christian singer!It sounds like I must look like frankenstein[ I feel like I do], but I look pretty good from the outside!I ask for prayer for Pam because she is having a nervous breakdown from it all, and our computer program crashed she worked on for two days yesterday. I'm buying her a new one , and having a computer specialist hook her own computer up, as I have this laptop monkey rigged to a plasma srceen, and a printer , and keyboard. All my insurance came through yesterday to pay for everything , but taking care of Pam. Please pray that G-d will keep her safe while I'm in the hospital for a month or two. PS; I will have my laptop and a wireless modem, so don't count me out. Thanks for the note in the mail[JFJ] for my donations . I will continue my tithe every month, and it will grow, as my friendship with you all has; Sincerely , Robert, and love in Christ Jesus
A thank you for all your prayers! My surgeons predict a speedy recovery, and thier optimism is much improved that I can live a normal life. Prayer definitelty works. I will make a prayer today that the G-d of Israel shall show us all the truth, and all will know His voice.The computer guy was here yesterday , and he said ; I was trying to leave , and a bunch of Mormons came up and pressured me , and I just walked away and got in my car and left. I feel a lot of Christians have this insecurity to press upon people the Salvation of Christ, and it works in reverse. It becomes what they think they have to do to become worthy of G-d's grace, and becomes an act of works, instead of grace.We should let go and let G-d work in His own time. A man with a sack of diamonds doesn't have to work very hard for people to find out they are free, and there for the taking.I really feel comfortable in this forum. I don't want money, or fame, or men to look up to me. I don't push my way into mens faces. They are here willing to debate from thier own accord. I find the best witness of Yehoshua is when I don't push at all, but the Spirit is free. I am not saying to stop witnessing for Yeshua . I heard of a Muslim[head of youth Hamas led to Yeshua from JFJ, from a Bible track given to him on the street in Jerusalem that said ; Love your enemy. Bless all beleivers in the ; G-d of Abraham,and Yehoshua ,and be filled with the Spirit of ;The G-d of Israel!Shema Yisrael
I would like to ask someone to place a prayer request in the wailing wall for a very nice woman named ;Gayle Hutchins. She was diagnosed with colon cancer , and recently discovered it had spread to her liver. She is Executive director for ; Paws, and Think. They take in homeless, and mistreated animals , and help them recover , and finds homes throughout the United States for them. She is very loved for her compassion , and I pray the G-d of Israel would heal her to continue the need of innocent animals, and be a witness to healing of G-d's love for His believers in Christ, Shalom
