April 19, 2024 at 1:15 pmIs it possible one can outlive their welcome? Perhaps the heart attack I had a few months back should have been the end? Since then life hasn’t much meaning, and anything that can go wrong, has gone wrong God has been very silent. Money hemorrhages faster than a sliced artery. Vehicles malfunction. Body is worn to the point of extreme daily fatigue. My Special needs adult children are witnessing the same stagnant life. It seems like the negative situations that repeat weekly if not daily, are because I have outlived my use. Perhaps, I am cursed. Perhaps God has chosen to leave me to my own debts? Perhaps my repentance somehow wasnt authentic enough? Perhaps my life has little to do with me, and more to do with others, as I feel they would flourish without my presence. I have talents that are not allowed to be useful! Many talents, and neither can be used for anything worthwhile, most notable employment for me. This is not a complaint, but a serious question. Can one outlive their time and usefulness and the result be a remaining life of negative outcomes? And is that infecting my loved ones lives? Somedays, lately, sucking air is a chore and the Will to stop living is all it would take to cease to be… Perhaps Ive deluded myself with good intentions

April 19, 2024 at 1:38 pmDab sibling theeleganthobo I read your post with mixed feeling because I visualize that a lot must be going on; then, I thought you may feel that God is distant because you feel so discouraged. We each have our different challenges in life; because we are all mortals and there is not Super human!! some Challenges are Spiritual, some health related, some financial, some emotional, some physical; some man made; while some, the sources are unknown!! But my dear sibling, let me encourage you with the words I read today in one of my devotionals and my personal summary of what I learned. I pray it blesses you. I will pray with and for you alongside others ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ There are some basic rules and fundamentals that we know. One pertains to light. No matter how dark things are, or the challenges we face; light will always overcome the darkness because darkness cannot exist where there is light. 🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Simple as that sounds, it is the example that Jesus gave when He referred to himself. In John 8:12 we find these words, “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. “. Amen 🙏 In Ephesians 6 we read about this current world we live in. It tells us, OUR STRUGGLES ARE AGAINST THE POWERS OF THIS DARK WORLD. 🗺️ 🌍 🌎 🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Currently satan is the power of the air or the world about us. His job is to bring as much darkness as he can, or evil if you will, into the lives of every person. Simply put, Jesus said He was the light to that darkness and evil. In other words, where He, Jesus was there could be no darkness. 🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🌎✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Further in John 8, Jesus said, “WHOEVER FOLLOWS ME WILL NEVER WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT WILL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.” ✨Does there seem to be darkness about you today? ?Or, is there someone in your realm of influence that needs to know there is “light” for their darkness???✨✨Turn on the light 💡 💡 to your darkness, that is the word of GOD, and see the darkness flee. Examine the promises given to all who will believe them. 💡🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Trust and have faith as these promises of Jesus sink into your spirit. GOD will never allow you nor I to be forsaken or abandoned, never. Hold to the thread of His promises, claim them in your darkness. We are in a battle, a very serious battle in these last days. Evil is taking every opportunity to win. Look around you, it is not the way things have always been. Amen 🙏 💕✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Take the LIGHT OF THE WORLD, into your day and bring that light to others you meet. I pray you are blessed and encouraged with these words. Continuing to pray 🙏

April 19, 2024 at 5:12 pmThank you for your reply. Its not that I feel darkness, its the absence of feeling much. An elongated indifference to a silence that makes me feel I have done something I cannot repair all the while longing to repair it I long for an answer to correct it… but none comes Has my saltiness ended? Thats a close to the questions I guess I can put. Its what make me feel my usefulness has come to a close Of course the things I listed are a minutia and petty, but it feels like abandonment. Ive cast the World as far as I can from my life, and the more I do, the more alone and useless I feel Babbling at this point -sorry

April 19, 2024 at 6:32 pmPrecious theeleganthobo, God most certainly does not want you to feel abandoned, especially as you heal and go through these valleys. Deuteronomy 31:8 “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” But like Job’s horrible suffering and Paul’s difficult life of ministry and many modern day devoted disciples who have suffered greatly, it can sometimes feel that way: Romans 835-39 states: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” And many devoted believers had faith but didn’t get to see the fruit of their faith right away: Hebrews 11:36-40 “Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground. 39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.” And 1 Peter 1: 6 “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” Accusations are to be expected as a child of God. Revelation 12:10-11 helps us know how to overcome: ‘Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. 11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.’ Dear Abba Father, May You protect theeleganthobo from the attacks of the enemy (Ephesians 6:10-18). Please bring healing and peace through the Blood of Your Son! May Psalm 142:2 become true for this entire family: “While I live I will praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.” May our sibling recognize that faith in times of adversity is more precious than gold to You! You are more than pleased with theeleganthobo as he/she hangs onto You tightly. Thank You that You are so close by (Psalm 139). May You bless Your child today in a personal way I ask in Jesus’ Precious and Healing Name!

April 19, 2024 at 8:19 pmYes and amen! Praying in agreement with these beautiful prayers by our fellow saints! May they be heard by our Lord in Heaven so that He can bless our dear brother who is experiencing a very difficult time in his life! In Jesus’ mighty name, amen!🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️✨✨✨♥️♥️♥️ P.S. Dear theeleganthobo, please know that some of your feelings and emotions could be coming from the heart attack itself. Many people who experience a heart attack get very sad and even depressed because the body’s and mind’s reaction to the event. It is not uncommon, but you should let your healthcare provider know what is going on. They may be able to help. God bless you, my dear brother! Please know for 100%, you are loved by our Lord! If it would have been your time to go home to our Father, you would have been taken there. God does not make mistakes! You are perfect in His eyes, and you still have a purpose on this earth! Sending much love to you!!

April 19, 2024 at 8:22 pmBeloved sibling. You are not babbling; you are worn thin, impatient at where you find yourself. I lived in a homeless shelter for over two years in California. I was a 50 year old woman living in my car prior to that. It was God’s loving kindness and mercy, a “life-ring to free me from my addiction and a lifetime of despair.” I used to say the shelter was the place for people who had outlived their usefulness. I think It wasn’t so far from the truth. I truly had lost my ability to contribute to my own life; let alone impact those around me in a positive way. God wastes nothing and He allowed that time in the shelter with women (and their children) who were just like me, to show me who I was, and to shape and influence the woman I would become. I learned that whatever I focus my thoughts on (me, myself and I) my feelings and my actions will follow (More about Me). I tend to revisit the painful events of my past and it kept me stuck there (and still will) if I don’t ask The Lord to forgive me and help me to move forward and to relinquish the painful things of the past asking Him to “help me to forgive those who hurt me, and to release them in Love.” I still find that I need His help to forgive myself for meditating on the past (at what is behind me) I am committing a trespass against God, The Holy One who delivered me from slavery having parted my Dead Sea and walked me out of Egypt on dry land! Forgiveness is at the center of God’s will for my life. I don’t need to freeze-wrap a Donkey’s head to eat the bread of sorrow. If I’m not careful to ‘forget the former things… looking ahead to The One who makes all things new,’ I will glorify the past and mutter and complain about “are we there yet?” There are so many Dab-siblings who have endured unthinkable loss and heartache in the 16 years I have been listening and praying for this community of believers. I have listened to Brian read The Word of God fresh every day and made it through the entire Bible at least 7 times now. His commentary, and the prayers called in (and on those posted on the Prayer Wall) have anchored me in love. I am no longer alone with my thoughts. I have brothers and sisters in Christ I have not yet met; but I will know them in Heaven. My prayer for you is that you press through your thoughts and ask God to speak His Identity over you and your life. Stay connected. Get involved in a Spirit-filled church. We are not meant to navigate this life on our own. God expects us to not only to cling to Him and His Word, but to cling to the body of Christ.. other believers. Believe it or not, He expects us to bring “others with us,” to Heaven. Our lives should influence and inform the lost and the hurting. Holy Spirit come and breathe on the dry bones of those whom have lost their way. Help us to cling to Christ Jesus and to each other, in Jesus Name I pray, let it be so.

April 20, 2024 at 9:14 pmPraying with you and for you, Eleganthobo. God’s promises still stand. He has His plans and has given us His Son, the Holy Spirit, His word and the church. Father, be with my sibling. I ask for the gentle presence of Your Holy Spirit to envelope and fill the Eleganthobo. Bring Your healing and peace that surpasses all understanding. Your grace is magnificent and abounds beyond our sin and frailties. We acknowledge our humanity and Your immortality. Yet, You loved us and gave Yourself up for us on the cross of calvary. We never earned it or deserved it but You freely gave Your life up for us so that the Father could look upon us and see Christ Jesus’ holiness upon us and not sin. You shed Your blood and took the abuse from the world that humanity would be free from damnation. Let us fully embrace Your sacrifice through faith. Debt cancelled. Jesus we thank You that You ever live to make intercession for us. (basis Hebrews 7:25) You, King Jesus, are pulling for us. Your prayers for us have immeasurable weight to them. Let us sense this and believe that He has good for His sheep. Let us be His sheep and let Him be the Shepherd. Father help us to be Your just people for the just shall live by faith. Let us yield to the Holy Spirit. Show us Your ways. Help us in our weaknesses, give us faith even if it is tiny as in the grain of a mustard seed yet it is powerful enough to move mountains according to Jesus. Teach us Your ways LORD Jesus. We receive Your word and Your prayers. Let us be pleasing to You for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. We receive Your prayers and the encouragement You’ve sent. Let us receive it, believe it and walk in it, now and in the coming days. Let us pass through this valley of the shadow of death and into Your pastures and still waters that our soul may be restored. Thank You for Your rod and staff, they comfort us even when we are uncomfortable or dismayed in our present circumstances. Father, please be the Waymaker. I thank You that You lead Your sheep and do not drive them. We thank You for Your wisdom. That You , too, have given us the mind of Christ and that You are the good Shepherd Who enables His sheep to hear His voice. Ephesians 3:29-21 ESV “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

April 21, 2024 at 9:26 pmThank you all so much for all your insight and prayers. I will concentrate on the verses quoted here all week. I just heard something today that pertains to me and my life experience about sometimes, you just have to play thru while in pain. And Im used to fighting and pain so, instead of internalizing and feeing despondent, the pain really shouldn’t be a big deal…in theory ahaha. Reaching out like this is foreign to me and not the norm. Thank you all..

April 21, 2024 at 9:56 pmDear Mr. therleganthobo; One of the most difficult feelings to deal with, is a sinking sense of hopefulness i can describe it like a dark cloud, that hangs over the future, making it hard to remember that good things are about to give birth. This feeling can cause you to loose sight of your faith but do not it be concern, even thou is tough, God is in total control, and He will lift you up. Before i continue on, Do you agree? Our heavenly father is full of grace, to help you get through these tough times, and find hope again. Be strong and of good courage, for you are never alone or hopeless. I sense a turbulence ragging inside you. The waves of uncertainty constantly frighten you to draw you down. Making you stricken with negativism. When you are in the quiet moments, your heart seems heavy, and the darkness appears to stretched longer than the daylight. Have you fell to your knees and ask God with great sincerity, here am I lord, USE what i have? Walk with Him hand in hand stepping into the light together, for in Him, there is no darkness or hopelessness. For He loves you deeply and eternally. Put your trust in Him, allowing your heart to find peace. Proverbs 23:18 God bless you! Sending much light and love your way! 🙏🏻❤️🕊️ Surely, there is a future and your hope will not be cut off.

April 22, 2024 at 3:47 amDear theeleganthobo, Your plan to concentrate on Bible verses will most certainly have wonderful fruit! We have a promise about God’s Word in Isaiah 55:11 “So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.”
And again more about the impact of God’s Word in Psalm 119:103-107
“How sweet are Your words to my taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 From Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106 I have sworn and I will confirm it,
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am exceedingly afflicted;
Revive me, Lord, according to Your word.”Dear Abba Father, please encourage Your precious child with Your Word! May Your Word accomplish everything that it has been purposed to accomplish in theeleganthobo’s life, and may You receive much glory and praise, I pray in Jesus’ Mighty and Healing Name!

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not to your own understanding and all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path🌸
