Default Prayer request

i'm not much on asking for prayers for myself but i'm sorta up against it here

i've a meeting in the heart of the beast here tomorrow ( government offices )

with the government trying to force some BS on me to limit my work on many levels and that will include trying to have me ruled mentally incompetent , or a risk to society based on my military past or other they try even now and again

and then theres others "meetings" i have to attend until about the 20th of this month at which i have to keep calm cool and out wit them and their games

i've done ok so far but i gotta admit its tiring , and getting more than i would normally put up with , but if i lash out , i'm stuffed ..

it will be used against me and they'll win, which means many many others will eventually lose

i'm asking for prayers to keep me smart and cool enough to get through all this BS and to be guided the right way through this minefield they are setting for me , patience to put up with their same question 30 time tactics and to not lose it when they ask me to repeat myself 30-40 times

they've tried the racist angle , they tryed to trip me up to lock me up now they are trying a new tact on the mental health side , all to help me of course ... and to shut me up once and for all

cheers and thanks ..

Heavenly Father, I come before you this morning upholding Jack.
He is in a time of desperate testing, Lord, and needs your direct intervention.
You have preserved his life many times, and I believe you have much more for him to do.

As the forces of darkness descend upon him, Father, I ask that you would support him with a mighty hand.

I ask that you would strengthen him physically for all he will be dealing with in the next couple weeks, and for all of the attacks that will continue to come even after that period.

I ask that you would strengthen him emotionally, that he will be able to follow your words given through Isaiah:
". . . in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength . . . ."

I ask, Father, that you would cause the workers of evil to be caught up in their own snares.

I ask that those who dig a pit intended for Jack would fall into it themselves.

I ask that you would protect him throughout his life, Lord, and keep him safe - -

And I ask all of these things in the name of Jesus the Christ, the Lion of Judah -

Amen -

Jack, if God be for you, who can be against you? Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. He has a plan for you, its a plan to prosper you. You can do all things thru Christ who strengthens you. So, put on the whole armor of God so you shall be able to stand against the snares of the devil. There is one who sticketh closer than a brother.

Psalm 91 (New International Version)

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

I agree with the prayers and scripture listed above.

+1 Terry and Iron Eagle.

Psalm 91 is good to be going on with. Suggest thinking on it as you go to sleep tonight.

I also will be praying for you, asking that God will control your mind and tongue and give you the right answers to their questions and statements; that God willl give you His wisdom in knowing what to say and when to keep your mouth shut; that God would give you His self-contol and wisdomin your answers.

You've been through the military and know discipline. Use that discipline now. And God grant that He will renew that discipline in you.

God's blessings on you.


Psalm 139:3-5
3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
5 You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

Jack...from one who's been in court too many times to count. When asked a question, take the time to repeat the question to yourself. Breath slow.

If you have a bunch of BS tossed at you, like does this dress make me look fat, say to the person who asked it, would you please repeat the question. That gives you more time to consider your response.

Even the simple questions, treat every question the same. Breath.

When answering, don't look at the person who asked it. Instead look at who ever the main hearing officer is when you answer. Speak directly to that person. Clear and concise.

Your face, hands and feet will play an integral part. Think body language.

Always, always look in their eyes of the hearing officer. Straight at them. Think poker. Stone faced, no emotion.

Do NOT elaborate on ANYTHING. Give the shortest answer possible. Too many words can spoil the broth. They may ask the same question at different times during the hearing. Short and concise.

If you think you need to prepare some notes to take with you. Do so. You also have the right to have any prepared statement entered into the court documents.

They MUST give you ample time to respond. Take it.

PLEEEZE get back with us as soon as you can.

EDIT: Try and keep your sense of humor...but no smiling. They want you to take their BS seriously.

Jack, during the short time that I have gotten to know you, I see that you are a man after God's own heart. Wisdom is a gift that only God can give, and any knowledge that does not benefit God therefore is not wisdom. You always have your way with words and it is easy to see that God IS working in your life and has blessed you with great wisdom. I don't believe for one moment that God does not have a plan for you. In fact it is through men like you that God accomplishes much for his coming kingdom. God gave you the spirit of a fighter that is obvious. I will say that the gift from God that you will see through this trial is a gift that only He can deliver and no man can provide.

Amen Jack,
Jim

That's their job. Yours is to not let it bother you in anyway. Never say...you've already asked me that question. Answer every question knowing in your mind, they're going to ask it again.

Whether it be cops, or judges, or hearing officers. They only know for sure what you tell them. I preach that fact to every one I'm close to ( yeah, I've got some shady friends ). They ONLY know what you tell them. Never answer any questions from anybody outside of the hearing. Walls have ears.

Know who your friends are.

False witnesses, doing what they think they need to do to cover their own a$$. They are the slime of the earth.

I don't know about there, but, no one person can decide another persons mental stability. They are not an Inquisition panel..........................

Default Re: Prayer request

some folks have asked about the term i used for my self , reprobate

2 meanings folks

rep·ro·bate/ˈreprəˌbāt/
Noun:
An unprincipled person (often used humorously or affectionately).
Adjective:
Unprincipled (often used as a humorous or affectionate reproach).
Common use:
A trouble maker who has good intentions.

there is the calvinist version thats got stuck in folks understanding

that was based on a person who described themselves as a reprobate as i did and a meaning when asked , was explained by a person who had a agenda against this gent ( who later created much trouble for the calvinist movement, and brought it into disrepute and who stole funds to fund his sinning ) as condemed by God , even though it was later shown to be in error , it stuck

and its a flawed description as well as wrong as God does not condem, we condem ourself by rejecting God or Salvation , this i would never do ..

i am a trouble make with good intensions , i block mosques , i organise people to stand up for whats right and i've been fighting the socialist expansion here in Australia and helping folks in the US see behind the agenda by those who would bring you down

as for unprincipled , worldly principles.. hmmm some i hold dear , but i'll use the tools of the enemy when it suits and will join with the enemy when it suits ( my membership in many socialist groups is one such way i get info on them ) folks may not like that i lie and deceive those who plot against us all , but we need to know far greater than my desire to not ever go near such filth , in this yes unprincipled , i have broken my own promise to myself of never associating with them , for actions i hate , but need to be done to expose the truth and to help those who are worth helping ...

i dont like it , but i cannot ask others to do what i wont .. ( one principle i keep ) ..

in this i plead guilty as charged

but please do not take a wrong meaning applyed to another man who sought truth , but was condemed by a charlatan and a thief to cover the lies and wrong deeds he did and mislead others as to the meaning of the description
