[Faith]

Amen in the Name of Jesus. Standing around Terri's bedside with you and all the others . . .

[pollywog]

It is well,
With my soul,
It is well, It is well, with my soul!!!!!!

[valleygal]

Much going on in the heavenlies though.

I'll bet there is.

[nicmarlo]

I just allowed a warm hearted feeling to fill me about 20 minutes ago.

I just felt it a minute ago.....a numbing warmness.

[atruelady]

I know my heart is reconciling to God.

My heart is saying let go, that God is the one
to take over now.

This is what you do now, all of us.

We need to reconcile in our hearts and heads that we have carried Terri into God's presence here on earth to help her.

[Freepertwo]

In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, we have the victory. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, demons will have to flee! For when we pray in the name of Jesus, we have the victory!

[Awestruck]

If Satan was hoping to use this as an opportunity to weaken our resolve, or our love and trust in God, it has backfired on him... this will make us stronger and more faithful...

[Saundra Duffy]

Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.

[ruoflaw]

Amen

[Types_with_Fist]

It appears more and more likely that Jeb and the DCF were doing nothing but playing CYA.

And it was unbelievably self-serving and cruel.

[johnb838]

I have felt like that at times... I think it is because I know that her death is not a defeat, it is a victory... when she is received into the arms of our Savior where streams of Living Water flow and he says Servant, Well Done. (I remember thinking of the Streams of Living Water back in '03)

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The strife is o'er, the battle done,
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The powers of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath dispersed:
let shout of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The three sad days are quickly sped,
he rises glorious from the dead:
all glory to our risen Head!
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
He closed the yawning gates of hell,
the bars from heaven's high portals fell;
let hymns of praise his triumphs tell!
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Lord! by the stripes which wounded thee,
from death's dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live and sing to thee.
Alleluia!

[nicmarlo]

Amen.

[nanetteclaret]

He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

Refrain

He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, over troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.

Refrain

Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.

Refrain

And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

Refrain

[Terriergal]

From CS Lewis' the Screwtape letters: (e.g. one demon instructing another how best to deceive humans)

"Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys." (p.42)

[atruelady]

You know, I am thinking very lightly about the hearing.

I am praying and hoping right along with all of you but I
am done speculating what will happen.

I am reconciled my heart and mind to allow God to be in that courtroom for me/us/Terri.

[valleygal]

Yes, Lord, we are parying for Terri's ogans and body. If the judge rules in her favor please keep her steadfast.

[Halls]

That's right! Satan how no power over US and He knows it! He is a destroyer!

God is good, God is good!

[pollywog]

Well Victory In Jesus,
My Savior, for ever,
He sought me, and He bought me,
With HIS REDEEMING BLOOD,
He loved me er I knew Him,
and ALL MY LOVE is DO HIM.
HE PLUNGED ME to victory,
BENEATH the CLEANSING FLOOD...........

[Awestruck]

I think we are seeing the true character of men during this time.. including those we thought we could trust... which is why we can't put our trust in men.. but in Him alone.

[ruoflaw]

I agree
