God opened a door for my daughter to go into rehab she said she would never go her mind was so far gone I didn't know if she would ever think clearly again. Her then boyfriend had beat her up and I got her to stay with me she was already packing her up things like soap and snacks to slip back off into the streets she went to church with me and one Sunday night and the preachers wife said as we was being let out of the service go let the pastor pray for you I went up to the front of the church my daughter went up with me bare in mind that church was already over, and the pastor prayed for me spoke in tongues and then told me like God Himself was saying " you have did everything you can do you have to give her to Me I lover her more than you do I will bring her out in my time" I said "ok God I can't do it anymore you take this. That was Sunday night the very next morning a rehab called me and told me she may could come there now this rehab had already told me she couldn't go there she was too far along pregnant I told my daughter and ask if she would go she okay I'll go I was so thrilled because she always said she wouldn't. The rehab said they had to do an assessment on her and they would call her Wednesday to do it. They called her Wednesday and they told her they would call her the next day to finish the assessment another lady from rehab called me and asked how did the assessment go I told her they said they would finish the assignment tomorrow a little later she called me back and said she was accepted but it would be next Wednesday before she could go in and as you know I'm sure a week is a lifetime for someone on drugs she could've ran off, but she didn't she made a calendar and was excited about going. She went and was doing great and then the devil struck she was wanting to leave but they took her to the hospital where she stayed 3 days the she went to another place called Lighthouse where the monitor her for a week then she went back to the rehab and has did extremely fantastic she had a perfect baby girl her mind is so clear now she wants to become a teacher eventually and she has left that guy we pray for him too but she had moved on. So never stop praying! never give up!!!! She tells me now she wishes she would've went to rehab a long time ago. May God hear your prayers and quickly intervene for your son and my he accept help when God opens doors for him and his girlfriend too. God bless you.

    Jesus will for your life is His Word. By faith, share your faith. “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:13‭-‬16 NKJV

    I think everyone wants to be the watterfall and not the drain...even the legalist people. This concept is quite tricky...when you are a servant you are not necessarily a refreshment to people. So many non christians offer the attractive watterfall approach in order to change the world and maybe that's why Christianity is actually losing its particular flavour as it becomes more alike other religions.

    Religion is man-made. There are so many! 😢 Jesus is the answer. He is the One who died on the cross to save me from my sins! All I had to do is lay down my life and say, please forgive me, and choose a relationship with Him, talk to our Heavenly Father God, and be filled with His Holy Spirit. 🙏🏻 💓

    New Testament mentions nothing on Christians having to pay tithes. Jesus and His disciples never paid tithes neither did they instruct anyone to do so. Where is tithing taught in the New Testament? There is no scripture whatsoever in the New Testament asking Christians to tithe. When Jesus once referred to the practice, he was talking about Pharisees who were still under the Law of Moses and not about New Testament believers. Christians ARE NOT under Mosaic law and that includes TITHING So stealing from people through the LIE of Tithing IS NOT OK. Pastors that tell you to TITHE are liars thieves and charlatans If Jesus and the apostles did not TITHE what would make you think we as Christians SHOULD have to TITHE. JESUS never gave a percent. GIVE WHAT YOU WANT JESUS SAID GIVE FREELY NOT UNDER PRESSURE 7 Reasons Christians Are Not Required to Tithe 1. Believers are no longer under the Mosaic covenant (Rom. 6:14-15; 7:5-6; Gal. 3:15-4:7; 2 Cor. 3:4-18). 2. The examples of Abraham and Jacob are not normative patterns. 3. Tithes were given to the Levites and priests, but there are no Levites and priests in the new covenant. 4. The tithe is tied to the land Israel received under the old covenant. 5. When Jesus affirmed the tithe, it was before the dawn of the new covenant. 6. Nowhere is tithing mentioned when commands to give generously are found in the New Testament. 7. Give Generously NOT A PERCENTAGE NOT UNDER PRESSURE. 2 Corinthians 9 7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself Or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty. Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Or crush the afflicted at the gate; For the Lord will plead their case And take the life of those who rob them. However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, “He who practices them shall live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree
