inspire? the parables are very deep with a meaning
that comes not from what we read on the surface,
but what the spirit says about what you are
reading. the spirit fills in the gaps..when
Jesus says he who has ears let him hear he
means to listen for the wisdom that comes from
above. all the parables have a holy meaning
and if you listen and read them you will get
wisdom and understanding.. the parables of the
lost coin,prodigal son,the wedding feast,the
good samaritan,the tare and the wheat,the sower
every one of them is a living works that comes
to life..the living word of God..knowing the
spirit is very important for a christian..seeing
the spirit work to heal others is very important!
in the old testament they worshipped God because
they new that God made there lives perfect..king
David danced naked because he new he could not
die..his enemys could not hurt him because God
was with him..fast forward to today..how many of
us really know that God is here with us? getting
closer involves listening for the spirit and if
you look you will find it. he who knocks he will
open the door..we dont have to go on blind faith
we just have to listen and see the works of the
spirit..if anyone needs prayer let me know..

so glad you are a child of GOD..JESUS asked us
to love our brothers and sisters as ourselves..
he also said to carry each other burdens in
order to fulfill the law of christ..we are NOT
under the law of the ten commandments but the
law of Christ..the law is to love Jesus who
is the father by the way..with all your heart
and mind and soul..your neighbor who is really
your brothers and sisters in Christ..not the
world..to love them and help them..that is
what christianity is in a nut shell..
Prayer for this board:
Oh heavenly father, king of kings and lord of
lords bless these people on this board. give
them there full health back, remove the hurt
from there hearts.. show them the path to
wellness. I lift all these on this chat board
and also on other chat boards to you the
almighty! they need healing father! any meds
that hurt them I ask to be healed and
functioning again..all lab test and liver tests
to come back normal..I lastly I ask oh Holy
Father..that your spirit would enter all the
people on this board and all other lyme boards
around the world..that they would be healed by
your holy name JESUS! that they would see the
awesome might of the father in heaven..and turn
and be healed..in the name of JESUS i pray..
AMEN

Overlyme I could really use a prayer today, your offer is appreciated.

Beautiful overlyme.
Thank you.

- Very well meaning, of course.
Yet, some of the wording here makes me very uncomfortable. Prayer is an intensely private matter for me and, likely for many.
It's fine to share and want to share matters of faith especially during health challenges. However, what's uncomfortable is the wording in the prayer - repeated many times over - for
". . . all these on this chat board and also on other chat " . . . "all the people on this board and all other lyme boards around the world.. ."
If I've not asked someone to pray for me, it just feels a little invasive since it's such a very private matter.
I've actually had some very bad experiences with this sort of thing in my past and it came to the point of being abusive. To see that all of us, whether we ask or not, whether we want it or not, are including in someone else's action, stirs up a lot of bad from the past.
Others, of other faiths may also feel more comfortable not being put into the whole group.
I wish I could say this in words that would work better and my thoughts may not be best articulated but I just felt I had to try to put a voice to the internal reaction.
So, I've been pondering this a while and just typed my question into Google:
"how to be inclusive in prayer for others but not invasive"
some nice thoughtful links came up so I know I'm not the first one to wonder this. -

You are very kind and gracious to offer prayers for everyone.

About 2 weeks ago, I had one of the most crazy experiences of my life.
Someone lent me some products, and I just chose one, and rubbed one on my head, back of the neck, face...
Suddenly, it felt like I could not breathe...
I started gasping for air, my eyes filled with tears, I could not speak.
It felt like a hammer hit my inside, my soul, or whatever.
It took me 10 minutes breathless, ... then I started shaking, but I knew that meant the crisis was over.
I shook for many more minutes, but I felt much better. At least, I could breathe again.
I was in a public space, you can't imagine how embarrassing it was.
I think people thought I was having an epileptic attack or something like that.
I could not stop the crisis, like I can't stop a tsunami! -------------------
Yesterday, I discovered what was in the product I used, because I found the person who infused the energy inside it.
It was a prayer asking God for forgiveness and for us to accept that Jesus died in the cross for our sins, and sort of protect us (that is what I understood).
The water was infused through a plasma generator during the time of the prayer (he was a priest before he became a chiropractor) , and made it many times strong.
The energy of the prayer could be felt much stronger than if I only had heard the prayer (that would mean little to me).
If I had heard these words, I would have simply shut down, I think.
I knew nothing about what was inside the product until yesterday.
I just totally FELT the immediate effect of that prayer just by rubbing that water on me!
and it was HUGE!
That happened 2 weeks ago, and I'm still recovering from the experience, like I have a deep wound.
It did make me think about everything!
I'm more Buddhist, a sort of believer in many gods or nature spirits.
But that silent Christian prayer strengthened hundreds of times and recorded in water through that plasma generator, then sprayed on me on my head did something I cannot still believe possible.
That proved somehow to my skeptic brain that prayers do carry incredible amount of healing energies!!
What happened to me was undeniable. I'm still recovering now, more than 2 weeks after.
It also proved to me that no matter what you believe, when you pray for someone, skeptic or not, it can work!!!
So many Thanks to you guys for the prayers! Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

- That has been scientifically proven too! What an amazing experience!
Posted by Brussels (Member # 13480) on :
It was amazing.
If no one saw me, I could still deny what happened, and say it was my imagination.
The crazy thing was that I knew nothing about the content of that product.
How can something like a prayer cause such a powerful impact, even when we listen NO words, nothing?!
I guess I needed that prayer!!
another amazing thing was that, believe it or not, it worked like a hammer.
The energy was so intense that I could barely breathe.
How can a plasma generator record such a thing such as a prayer's energy in a bottle of Aloe Vera spray (that was the chemical content of the 'water')??
And the most crazy: How could my body decode that information with such a strength, because I knew nothing of its content??!
It's no wonder that people do prayers since the dawn of humankind....

If God can create the world and EVERYTHING in it.. Then He can do this too.
Posted by Pocono Lyme (Member # 5939) on :
He sure got your attention Brussels!
How cool how many different ways He can do that. He sure got my attention too. (not in the same way) After that, I pray more and study His Word. I've gained so much peace and strength since. And comfort!

Beautiful words...Thank you for sharing your prayers.

I don't think this board was meant for religious testifying.
Ticks do not discriminate religiously who they infect.
Lyment is meant for General Support, which includes everyone.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
MOST who have posted on this thread have been very inclusive.
Of course, Lymenet is for everyone, even Christians.
Posted by Silverwolf (Member # 9196) on :
Hi everyone, it was great to see this thread brought up again!!!
Lymenet Support is meant for all As a Christian, I include myself with 'everyone'.
I have had good benifits at times from Magnets,and said whether it is magnates,mud,or miracles...I would like to be healed,as soon as is possible. I believe God can use most anything that is good,to help us.
I certainly don't know everything,but I know that God is there. I understand that many believe differently. Each makes a choice.
May Healing come to all of us!
Posted by hiker53 (Member # 6046) on :
If a belief in God helps you on your healing journey then by all means, please share.
As a Christian, I do not look down on people of other faiths.
And every day I offer up prayers for those with Lyme.

Thank you for the opportunity to feel the presence of God in your prayer. Sometimes I think about how wonderful it is that every Christian can find a like-minded person with whom to share their thoughts about God. Since I met people from https://firstchurchlove.com, I have had even more light thoughts about Jesus in my head, and I have learned to pray in the presence of others. It's important to conquer this fear of collective prayer, and I succeeded. It was the first time in my life that I prayed out loud in front of many people, but I wasn't embarrassed by them at all. God allowed my heart to open up. I thank Him for that.
