Thank you @Skye99 . I've been praying a lot recently and really appreciate your prayer too.

ladybee2 · 18/12/2023 23:51

Hello all,
Please can you pray for me. My mental health is very poor at the moment and I have started on antidepressants.
I'm having problems with a neighbour over some building work.
It's making me feel incredibly anxious.
Thank you x

Praying, Ladybee. That does sound rough.

Thanks TheGander! I would really appreciate prayer for my son, who is 20, to become a Christian. He was brought up Christian and isn’t anti-Christianity. He did most of an Alpha course recently. But he isn’t actually there.

Skye99, I will try my best, it sounds like your son is more of a Christian than me! I am really agnostic but open to spirituality, I would like to believe in God although it is hard sometimes.

TheGander · 19/12/2023 15:28

I will pray for you ladybee2, mental health difficulties can be so draining, I hope the building issues get resolved ( they always do eventually, but it’s so stressful when it’s happening).

TheGander, the Mumsnet website won’t let me quote your last post to me, but this is meant to be a reply to it.

Have you tried the new 321 online course for seekers, with Glen Scrivener? It looks quite good.
https://speaklife.org.uk/321course/

I was an agnostic until I was over 30. It took me three years looking into Christianity and thinking about my objections to decide to become a Christian. I’m glad I did.

If Christianity is true, I think honest seeking for the truth can only move people closer to it. If it’s not true, I’d rather know.

321 Course - Speak Life

321 is an interactive evangelism course that invites you to see life the way Jesus does by exploring God, the world and you.

Sending love on Christmas day. As well as prayer, try exercise, mediation, cut caffeine and alcohol. Switch off news and social media

@Donhill that was a good prayer, I’m praying for the same and for my brother who has mental health difficulties and is about to be discharged home. Also for everyone on this thread as Christmas approaches, I find the season can be a mixed blessing, good to catch up with friends and family but also a lot of work and stress sometimes.

Wishing you a happy Christmas

Hello please can I join?

Welcome overwhelmed2023. Would you like us to pay anything for you?

overwhelmed2023 · 29/12/2023 00:19

Hi thanks :)
Yes could you pray for my family to come to faith and wisdom how to go forwards in my life. I'm so unhappy right now I need the fruits of the Holy Spirit for strength.

Skye99 · 29/12/2023 11:51

Sorry to hear that. I will pray that for you and I’m sure other people will.

Donhill · 30/12/2023 18:27

Paying for you overwhelmed2023 and for your family.

TulipsAndDaisiesAndBlossom · 30/12/2023 21:16

Hi everyone.
Random questions here. I go to church occasionally, was confirmed (CofE) a long time ago and can’t really remember the correct way to do things. I went to midnight mass this year and had a few problems and questions.

Are you supposed to say amen when the vicar gives you the bread and wine? I thought you were supposed to, but despite desperately earwigging to the people near to me, I couldn’t hear anyone saying amen. I muttered it anyway but felt a bit embarrassed that I did it wrong.

Do you have to drink from the same cup as everyone else? It seems a bit gross to me anyway (germs) but my main issue is i have Coeliac disease - the wine will be cross contaminated with tiny bits of gluten from other people’s mouths who have had the bread. This will trigger a whole body autoimmune response in any Coeliac, symptoms can vary person to person but for me I will be in terrible abdominal pain, so bad I can’t think of anything else, migraine, flu type symptoms and it will last 4 days.

It’s no problem to avoid the gluten bread - I contacted the vicar before the service and brought my own GF bread in a sealed container (which the vicar didn’t touch - otherwise that would also be cross contaminated). It’s the wine from a communal cup that’s the problem.

Skye99 · 31/12/2023 12:32

Hi TulipsAndDaisiesAndBlossom. I always do say amen and I’m pretty sure that’s usual where I go. I’ll listen out next time! Maybe the people around you weren’t used to Communion?? But if it’s not the usual thing in the church you were in, I don’t think it would matter. It certainly wouldn’t bother me whether somebody said amen or not. It’s remembering that Jesus died for you that counts.

I quite see the problem about the gluten in communion wine. I think this is one to ask a vicar about. I know people usually share a cup. I’m not a member of the clergy but I’m sure there must be provision for this situation. (Maybe just to have the bread, or to have a separate small cup.)

If anyone on here is a vicar, or could easily ask one, maybe they could let us know? Otherwise I would ask the vicar after the service next time you go. Or else email: the vicar’s email address will usually be on the church website.

Have you had prayer for healing from the coeliac disease? I have known people have healing. I have had two healings myself.

This is one of my favourite healing stories. (It starts at about 10:30.)

All best wishes.

Thank you

@Skye99 thank you for posting about the 321 course. I've been looking for something like that. I was bought up as a Catholic, but went through a difficult period and convinced myself that Christianity wasn't true. I have now started to attend my local C of E Church and I'm trying to regain my faith. This course looks like it could help me, so thank you x

Skye99 · 02/01/2024 16:15

Thmssngvwlsrnd Great, thanks. I’d be interested to hear how you find it.

Prayer

In the mighty name of Jesus, break every sleep paralysis spirit right now and every night terror and night demon and nightmare we come against you now by the blood of jesus it is written hebrews 11 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. we say your power is broken it is null and void by the blood of jesus you have no power you have no legal right it was written 2 peter 3 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. the lord rebukes you we rebuke you in jesus name we bind you and say you're done you're done im not your home and you cannot live on the inside of me and you must go tonight in the mighty name of jesus Christ of nazareth for it is written isaiah 54 In righteousness you will be established:Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear.Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. 15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you. go in jesus name i break your assignment and I break your power by the blood of jesus as it is written isaiah 8 10 Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted propose your plan, but it will not stand, for God is with me so I speak the fire of the holy ghost as it was written numbere 23 23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! I speak the blood of jesus we speak the power of the holy ghost spirit over me. I say no more night terrors no more sleep paralysis every demon has to leave me now. I take authority over you and I break you in the mighty name of Jeseus . as it is writtten colossians 2 9 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. You have no power to block my antenna to the God of Moses Abraham and Moses as it is written Matthew 18 18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. torment her your assignments are broken now in the name of
Today, O Lord, I surrender my dream life into Your hands.
Your Word says that when I lay down, I shall not be afraid, and my sleep shall be sweet (Prov. 3v24).
I, therefore, pray Lord, that from this day forward, may my sleep be sound, sweet and blessed, in the name of Jesus Christ.
O Lord, give me the grace and ability to sleep and wake up peacefully and soundly every day, in Jesus name.
From today and evermore,
I rebuke and reject every spirit of sleeplessness
I rebuke and reject every spirit of fear during my sleep.
I rebuke and reject every spirit of affliction during sleep and dreams
I rebuke and reject every spirit of oppression, sickness, witchcraft, and
I reject and rebuke all forms of nightmares and unnecessary up and down in the dream, in Jesus name. for it is written isaiah 54 14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
Henceforth, whenever I lie down to sleep, I shut the gates and doors of my sleep and dreams against the devil and his demons, in the name of Jesus Christ. for it is written psalms 91 3-8 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
By the Blood of Jesus Christ, I cancel the effects of all negative, witchcraft, and demonic dreams I have had in the past. I command their works and influences in my spirit, soul, and body; in my life, family, and destiny to be nullified and erased forever and ever, in the name of Jesus Christ. as it was written psalms 7 9-10 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
From this day on, I restrict and forbid evil movements of wicked spirits that manipulate and influence my dreams negatively.
Jesus said, “In my Name, you shall cast out the devil.”
So, in the most powerful and victorious Name of Jesus Christ, I cast out every demon and evil spirit on assignment to frustrate my life through evil dreams and immoral actions. I send you dream demons into the abyss, in Jesus name.
The Bible says that “Two cannot walk together unless they agree (Amos 3:3).
I, therefore, disconnect myself from every unseen personality, covenant, and agreement that foments evil dreams against me, in Jesus name.
From now onwards…
I declare everywhere, and every place I lay down to sleep sanctified and cleansed with the blood of Jesus Christ.
I declare every material I lay upon to sleep sanctified and cleansed with the Blood of Jesus Christ. In Jesus name.
O Lord, let Your Glory, Light, and Presence overshadow me continually and destroy every darkness around me.
When I lay down to sleep, Lord, I shall sleep in peace and wake up in peace.
Silence the voice of the darkness and its fruits during my sleep permanently, in Jesus name.
From today, I declare every generational, ancestral, family, and bloodline strongholds, covenants, agreements, and evil attachments of my maternal and paternal lineage, fighting to frustrate my star, destiny, and purpose in life through evil dreams, be destroyed by the fire of God, in Jesus name.
By the Blood of Jesus Christ, I declare broken and nullified every unholy soul tie, agreement, vow, pledge, promise, and contract that commands evil dreams in my life, in Jesus name.
I cover my mind with the Blood of Jesus Christ.
I forbid all forms of negative and demonic influence over my mind henceforth.
I forbid and end all evil activities in my mind.
I cast into the abyss every evil spirit working against my mind and preparing it for manipulative dreams. for it is written psalms 124 7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
And I declare that I have the mind of Christ from this day forward, in Jesus name.
May every unhealthy philosophy, stronghold, and attachment I allowed to be created in my mind that opens the door for evil dreams be destroyed from today onwards, in Jesus name.
I rebuke and ban every water spirit and spiritual personality on assignment against my dream life. I quash their plans, impacts, attacks, and manipulations against me and my household, in the name of Jesus Christ. it is written psalms 18 50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
By the healing power of the Blood of Jesus Christ, I declare my spirit, soul, and body healed of every negative influence or attack on my life as a result of evil dreams, in Jesus name.
Heavenly Father, scatter and put to flight every evil gathering summoned concerning me; let them be as chaff before the wind; let Your angels chase them; let their way be dark and slippery and let Your angels pursue them into utter darkness, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. s it is written psalms 4 8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord make me dwell in safety. I pray this In the mighty matchless name of your son Jesus Christ, by the holy spirit, AMEN!
