Hello, everyone. I need some prayer.

College is far, far darker then I ever imagined. It is morally desolate. Almost everyone I meet performs and speaks evilly. People flat out reject God and perform various deviant and wicked acts. It is horrible to behold, saddening, spiritually toxic, and maddening to be immersed in. This combined with my own shortcomings and faults is almost unbearable. I need the LORD and His help, and I would appreciate it if you all were to pray for me, to ask God to uphold me, prevent me from stumbling, to show me the way through the dark, to help me walk in the Spirit, to protect me from demonic oppression, and to sanctify me, so I may please Him and be a good witness and light in this world.

I also ask that you pray for these people's salvation. They are people that, though I do not know them very well, I still love them. I would very much like it if they were to truly live, and live evermore.

Finally, I ask that you pray for my aunt's salvation. She is very dear to me, but is lost. I desperately wish for her to accept Christ and live. Please, pray for her.

The grace of God be with you all.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
John 1:12

No problem! Definitely will be sure to remember to pray for you.

The other day my kids asked what I learned in the one year I went to university. "Lies" was my answer. I liked history so I was trying out an Anthropology major. Dropped out and almost 20 years later am still trying to decide on what to go back to school and work on a degree for. 😆

Be sure to pray for strength daily and spend time in God's word every morning before your classes. I will be praying that you are able to connect with some like-minded individuals your age at school.

I'm in brother! I feel you...it's all around us. I've been reading a lot of the Epistles, (some twice) the past 2-3 weeks.

I keep reading about Lot. I'm relating to 2 Pet 2:7, but the ESV does not do it justice
"and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man who was greatly distressed by the immoral conduct of lawless people—" ISV says it much better.

Think about how bad it was for him, He had two angels (Gen 19:1-9 really the whole chapter) that the men wanted to RAPE!

You, me, every one who believes on Him He is faithful to rescue. You are in the hands of the Father.

We also pray you find, the Lord leads you to a brother or sister so you can build each other up in the most holy faith
(Check out how the Berean Literal Bible lays out Jude 1:20

But you, beloved, building up yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit)

Praying for you Beloved. Love you brother. You know, you've been with this fellowship a long time and we're grateful to have you.

Thinking back to my college days, it was my last year that I stumbled across a Bible prophecy forum and that group kept me going.

Blessings.

"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures." (1 Cor. 15:3–4)

Thank you all so very much, and to anyone else who prayed. Your prayers helped me quite a bit today; the difference between today and yesterday was like night and day

fitz Thank you for the encouragement! And indeed, He is with us, even until the end of the age. Thank you for reminding me.
sawdy Ha! Some of these classes, you’re right ten times over

. Thank you for the advice and for the prayer for community. I’ll be sure to pray for your going back to university!

tlwald Thank you, thank you, thank you. God bless.

EnochWalked: data.bls.gov/timeseries/JTS000000000000000LDR Since the start of 2021, the "Layoffs and discharges" rate has hit 1.2 on only 3 occasions: Jan-2023, Mar-2023, and Sep-2024 (which is the most recent month for which there are data). 3/45 months. Nov 21, 2024 7:37:27 GMT -6

EnochWalked: So next month we may see if 1.2 is the "new normal" (actually a reversion to the levels seen before the pandemic), or if the numbers are starting to creep up. Ignoring 2020, the level only reached 1.4 twice in the past 10 years (both in 2015). Nov 21, 2024 7:42:04 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-says-russia-fired-hypersonic-ballistic-missile-ukraine-warning-west-2024-11-21/ "Putin says Ukraine war is going global". The actual quote is: "a regional conflict ... has acquired elements of a global character" Nov 22, 2024 1:51:29 GMT -6

EnochWalked: 'The court said it had found “reasonable grounds” to believe Netanyahu & Gallant bore “criminal responsibility” for the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare, as well as the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts' Nov 22, 2024 2:01:37 GMT -6

EnochWalked: 'ICC said the pair were also criminally responsible “for the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population.”' 'intentionally & knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival' Nov 22, 2024 2:03:22 GMT -6

EnochWalked: Maybe this is his plan to get everyone to accept his next (patented) vaccine. There probably aren't any laws about infecting mosquitoes, or releasing them. All he would need is a way to release millions of them at scale. Oh wait, that exists too: Nov 22, 2024 11:07:42 GMT -6

EnochWalked: edition.cnn.com/2024/11/22/world/iran-iaea-centrifuges-censure-intl-hnk/index.html "Iran says it is activating new centrifuges after being condemned by UN nuclear watchdog". Presumably also timed to show that Israel's strikes haven't stopped them. Nov 22, 2024 11:37:14 GMT -6

EnochWalked: 'Earlier this year ... Blinken said that Iran’s breakout time – the amount of time needed to produce enough weapons grade material for a nuclear weapon – “is now probably one or two weeks,” the shortest breakout time that US officials have ever referenced' Nov 22, 2024 11:37:59 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdWIL8ki7do "Messiah 2030 - FAQ - Part 1". Some interesting insights into their position. They seem to think that the Rapture happens after the Tribulation, and that Christians will have to go through the 3.5 year wrath. Nov 22, 2024 22:36:25 GMT -6

EnochWalked: I am prepared to hear them out on that, but they've been quite evasive about it so far, which suggests either they are not very confident in their position, or they are trying to hide it because they know people will disagree (which feels deceptive to me). Nov 22, 2024 22:38:33 GMT -6

EnochWalked: x.com/awwstn/status/1860043057284153782 People can't help accidentally suggesting that Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) is the antichrist. But if Elon convinces Trump to use the Defense Production Act to seize OpenAI, then Altman ("old man") is history. Nov 22, 2024 22:57:19 GMT -6
