start a rescue camp/group

Posted by rjlockhart37 on September 17, 2013, at 13:23:13

i've been thinking about this for a while, but the main reason of this idea because i feel the urge to minister, well more on, to save people from judgement day and warn and welcome people to give, and do things humbly of Jesus Christ. The thing is....everyone has their own spirtual beliefs, and going out and saying that if people don't believe and follow God's commandments, is not the way to go. But if you think about it, i want to warn people of the day of Judgement. I see all these people in the world, and i can't just sit there and let them fall into confusion or be lead into false doctrines, so really i've been thinking about starting a rescue camp, or group to warn and save people. It may not be the best thing to force people to be christains, like Constantine did 1000 years ago....but to just tell that it would be better to give and follow the commandments of jesus christ, or god, or anything, to be saved from Judgement day.

this is a bit outthere, but this is a main belief to save people in the world....

this is a post i posted on beliefnet.com and i just wanted to introduce the topic of prayer....

I'm rj, to put this simple i am having problems with my body, i don't want to go in specific, and do not want to be selfish and pray only for me. My prayer for this is whoever reads this is going to get return for themselves, and the power for the holy ghost to fill you reading this to be of good spirits because the Lord is here, and he will be with you through spirit, don't doubt and think that all prayer is vain. Because seeking the Lord for the spirit, draw close to him and he will draw close to you. And it is hard for me...

My prayers have seemed vain, actually i feel this right now writing this, repeated times i have dry periods of no sign of awnsered prayers, but all of the supernatural things that happened in random places, that are not well known, but people being filled with healing, and joy. It's there, so don't think all this church prayer stuff is buloni that people just do for sunday school with koolaid and crackers at vacation bible school....it has depth of an impact, i personally don't like prayer that is just said with empty words with no emotion, forced prayer. My personal way I pray is in private, where no one is looking, and believe me i've been in states of feeling im having a delusion of something that is not real, but i do it anyway, the reason is to make it a point to find God, even through dry periods of faith, and unawnsered prayers.

Jeremiah 29:11-14:
"11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14And I will be found of you, saith the LORD"
James 5:7-11
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 10Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 11Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

this should give some hope to those in dry periods of nothing, and bad things will happen, im not being negative, but all this stuff going on in the middle east, and other parts of the world is they are suffering greatly...i get jelous seeing all my church people sit around laughing and acting spoiled with blessings, and then others who pray the same way, have it bad, all levels of it. It makes me mad....but thats how it goes....and don't let suffering bring your hopes down.

So, ending this, do not let disappointment ruin the faith, and keep searching the Lord, and prayer for healing for you. Seek the Lord with heart. And have a deeper feeling to find his mercy and love for his children and you.

Hi RJ,

Thank you for posting this. I do believe that patience is a virtue and that endurance can build strength. And I also believe in the power of prayer and in seeking God, even at times when it may seem like our prayers aren't being answered. I really hope that the healing that you seek will come your way, in one form or another, and that you'll find a way to effectively resolve the symptoms that you're afflicted with.

I also like how you looked at the bigger picture and took into account the suffering that's going on in other parts of the world. I oftentimes make it a point to pray for peaceful resolutions to the tensions that occur between nations. I should also pray more for those who are less fortunate than I am, for I consider myself to be blessed despite my psychiatric afflictions.

So, thank you again for posting this. I think that the message that you're trying to convey about the importance of seeking God is an important one, and I'm glad that you're doing what you can to convey it.

T.
