'the JUDGMENT' thing (and Florida)?? Please explain. CLEARLY, (you know how vague you can be!) ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: September 09, 2004 21:54 Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Five Million Also, I’ve been wondering about the judgment thing and Florida.  Is Florida any more deserving of judgment than any other state?

It has concerned me alot. I have been fighting it and praying against. I am doing all that I can to stave off the danger.  I'll be continuing as long as the threat looms. I am looking to God for mercy on our land. I am not too surprised that this would present itself. It has also forced me to do some soul searching and have the dealings of God with me personally. Sometimes we can neglect things and only in a real battle do we rise up to deal with them. Well, I will get back to the vigil now, and may God grant us grace and mercy. The fight is on... While I do not agree on this prayer controling weather thing,   I have to let you know that this weekend, while in Pismo Beach, the local news station over there described the dramatic downturn for Frances as "unexplainable."   Why do  I think Michael will return post with a hearty amen?  Michael D: Amen! Praise the Lord!!!   I say that, because the Lord deserves it. I do say it with a bit of a heavy heart, though: seeing what has occurred with Florida, and now what has happened in the Caribbean of late. We have to seek to take authority over Ivan re Jamaica, Cuba and Florida again. I trust the believing weather warriors will hang in there. Hey John, I wish you would become a believer.. God wants you to. In fact, the reason this discussion is on TT is for that very reason. God wants His people to awake to the broad scope of His grace and providence for them. There is a saying something like this ...without God, man cannot, but without man, God will not... Remember God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Can you imagine if Frances remained an its initial strength what would have happened to Florida? Thank God some folks believed God enough to stand in the gap and attack the enemy. Key thing here, though, is that Floridians need to wake up to the need to protect their land and the authority available to do it. Now, God Is allowing these storms to send a massage as well, but mercy does triumph over judgement. I think God prefers that His people sound the trumpet from the house tops and call the nations to repentance, and have his prophets warn of specific impending danger, so that if they harden their necks, when that judgement comes, they have an opportunity to know beyond the shadow of a doubt why it's happening and where they can turn to stay the destruction. I know of a situation in the Phillipines where an evangelist was doing a crusade and the people took him lightly. the next night people were eager to give their lives to the Lord, why??? An earthquake hit the area... The hard hearts suddenly softened to the same gospel from the previous night. It's how many of the prophets of old operated. Remember, God did tell Ezekiel that if he warned the wicked and he does not turn, then Ezekiel would have been free of blame. If he did not warn, the wicked would die in his wickedness... Ezekiel would be guilty. God help us. Again, I'm saying I believe God's preferred method is serious warning of impending judgement, not just judging because sin exists. But we all know that sin must incur judgement. When I have some more time, I will share some of the miraculous deliverence God provided from Ivan for Trinidad, and to a lesser extent Tobago. We really had some warfare on our hands... ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun!
