Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
The trick is to be respectful of others faiths. I do like the way you formulated this post!
I finally opened revelations one day and managed to finish reading the missing chapters and wondering what would happen next when I found this:
18I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon."
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Revelation 2
To the church in Ephesus
1"To the angel[a] of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands: 2I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. 4Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. 5Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. 6But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
To the Church in Smyrna
8"To the angel of the church in Smyrna write:
These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. 9I know your afflictions and your povertyyet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.
To the Church in Pergamum
12"To the angel of the church in Pergamum write:
These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. 13I know where you livewhere Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your citywhere Satan lives. 14Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality. 15Likewise you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
To the Church in Thyatira
18"To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:
These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. 20Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. 21I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. 24Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets (I will not impose any other burden on you): 25Only hold on to what you have until I come. 26To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations
27'He will rule them with an iron scepter;
he will dash them to pieces like pottery'[b] just as I have received authority from my Father. 28I will also give him the morning star. 29He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
What is happenning in our region is not a dream.Speaking of birds; The other day it felt like the roof was collasping on our house. When I looked outside there were thousands of starlings[ like a grey fuzzy blackbird] all over our house and property frantic! The phenomenom was shown on TV happenning in different locations. Animals are known to sense disaster before it happens. When I went to work yesterday I felt a sense of fear, and abandonment. Later in the day two other people said they felt the same! Yesterday the largest church in Indiana we dealt with in supporting an intercity ministry for kids fell from an associate pastor, and pastor having extramarital affairs, and pornography.Thousands of church members are without a church as they worshiped the Pastor,[happens every time!][ Don't put men in God's position] and now thier faith will be tested! There is a shaking coming all the way to the gates of Heaven, so hold on to Yeshua!

Earlier that day, I had said to someone, Catholics are not Christians. Who am I to say? I should not have said that.
I think the Lord allowed this dream for me to see that I should not judge a book by it's cover nor a religion by it's denomination.
I think if we look at all Religions that beleive in Yeshua, we will find some people that are Spirit filled, and believe the right way in most denominations. We must look to each individual instead of the label, for we all are of the same grace.Such an Easy Grace made so difficult by men's own ideal's? Shalom

Today, yes during a nap, I had a "mini" or "quickie" dream. I was in the snow-
clean, bright, white snow, and I was offering two little beautiful colorful birds, finchs or sparrows maybe, highlighted by the sun, a small handful of this snow. They accepted. They were eating out of my hand. It was surprising, and I felt that God had allowed it.

There is only one 'He' that I know of who 'restrains,' and that be the Holy Spirit, who lives within each believer in Jesus. That being the case, by removing the Holy Spirit, from a restraining position (like a physical, coordinated, presence on earth, which includes the believers He lives within), or at least His ability to restrain, and further considering that over eighty percent of Americans 'say' they believe in Jesus, the loss of even one half of the eighty percent (people that is) would create a vacuum in Americas ability to take action, the AC could easily get too well entrenched in power, to be stoppable, before anyone could mount resistance.
Concider:
(2Th 2:6 KJV) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
(2Th 2:7 KJV) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
(2Th 2:8 KJV) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
(2Th 2:9 KJV) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
(2Th 2:10 KJV) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
(2Th 2:11 KJV) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
(2Th 2:12 KJV) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
I believe these verses speak to the Holy Spirit, and America is about the last country with a dense population of Christian believers, whatever the percentage number, with the strength to 'restrain.' Of course, believers all over the world would be gone, but America would be crippled by the population loss. Notice, also what is forecast for those not taken in verses 10-12. Come soon, Yom Teruah.
In Messiah, His, Shalom, and patience. Arley

Dreams - Robert - 02-10-2009 12:31 AM
I had a dream last night. I dreamed I was escorting President Obama , and 12 children . We stopped on our journey at a Hotel,to rest for the night, and the children were hungry! Obama said; How about pizza, and they all cheered! Then Obama said; I want the pizza with everything on it; They call it ; The beast! The children said ; Yech! but the President had spoken his desire; not caring about the likes or dislikes of the children! So off I go looking for the Pizza Place , and could never find it. I must of used a whole tank of Gas! and drove all night! I said to myself; I'm sure glad I could'nt find the place ,but I was a bit worried of standing up the President , and I worried about the children being hungry? and I awoke! Does G-d speak through Pizza?

RE: Dreams - Chad - 02-10-2009 01:26 PM
Hosea says something about a cake not turned that is baked in Chapter 7 as I recall. A pizza?
Pizza could symbolize right wing communism cause the children rebelled against everyone having exaclty the same amount of the same thing in your dream.
Also, utopia is elusive like a car running out of gas looking for the rest place.

RE: Dreams - Robert - 02-10-2009 11:59 PM
The dream represents the New Policies for Obama's Mideast peace Proposal,[pizza] which are whitewashed to look ,as an umbrella of protection for Israels right to exist , and accepted with the Conditions of Peace ,falsely proclaiming to find a solution to the violence of Radical Islam. It proposes well with tasteful words, and is accepted, and then many layers of conditions [Untastefull Toppings]come upon the agreement when the contract is accepted and Israel [Twelve Tribes}[12 children] are no longer in a position to lose that protection of the treaty, and Israel is forced once again to give land concessions to Palestine/ Syria/Radical Islam; Villages witjout walls, or gates. or bars, and Jerusalem is put on the table for a divided Capital, and the Treaty will allow their Temple to be built upon those conditions, adjacent to the Dome, [because architects found the Original Temple actualy was built to the side of where the Dome stands,and can be built ,without tearing down the dome], and The Children of G-d can't ,seem to find The G-d of Israel to make this scenario work to fit into the plan of His promise? Sounds like a Nightmare?or perhaps Chow Woman is right? It was only a dream?

How about Joel 2:28 and Acts 2:17??? And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your yound men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Old Testament dreams had to be interpreted and always had significance. It's very possible your dream means something. Just keep it in the back of your mind and watch what's going on. Stay alert. God spoke through many things...lots cast, Aaron's rod budding, dreams, etc.
Open their hearts and their minds to see that you created all creatures great and small and you entrusted us to look after everything in your garden of Eden, allow these dragons to dream of Red Indian babies who have died almost to extinction, Lord I believe that you will guide these people to salvation in all their SELFISH BLINDNESS.
Let us believe that humans can be good and that Obama is there because God believed that we WHITE MEN do not have the right to murder NATIVE BABIES.
