CHALLENGING THE LORD'S PRAYER

I cannot say OUR if I live only for myself.

I Cannot say FATHER if I do not endeavor each day to act like His child.

I cannot say WHO ART IN HEAVEN if I am laying up no treasure there.

I cannot say HALLOWED BE THY NAME if I am not striving for holiness.

I cannot say THY KINGDOM COME if I am not doing all in my power to hasten that wonderful event.

I cannot say THY WILL BE DONE if I am disobedient to His word.

I cannot say ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN if I will not serve Him here and now.

I cannot say GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD if I am dishonest or seeking things by subterfuge.

I cannot say FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES if I harbor a grudge against anyone.

I cannot say LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION if I deliberately place myself in its path.

I cannot say DELIVER US FROM EVIL if I do not put on the whole armor of God.

I cannot say THINE IS THE KINGDOM if I do not give the King the loyalty due him from a faithful subject.

I cannot say THE POWER if I fear what others may do.

I cannot say THE GLORY if I am seeking honor only for myself.

I cannot say FOREVER if the horizon of my life is bounded by the things of today.

God bless you! My name is Dorcas Santiago. I am happily married to my dear husband, Israel. By the grace of God we have made 17 years of marriage. (To God be all the honor & glory.) I am here on this Christian site to meet honest & true Christian people who are in the same frame as I am in. Which is "JESUS FREAK." lol

My hubby & I were meant to be. When I looked in his eyes and he looked at mine we said to one another, it is time. So we became the best of friends, dated one another, and a few years down the road we tied the knot and married each other. I thank God for his blessings. for maintaining my marriage strong; and I pray that we stay together forever, til death do us apart, or when we go together in the rapture, and reach heaven, our home.

God bless you all. It's a new year, and I thank the Lord for everything that he has allowed me to achieve in the year 2007. Nonetheless, it's a new year, and I have new and bigger goals to achieve. I have come to an understanding with my Lord, that in order to reign with him, we must learn how to sacrifies those things that at times WE feel aint wrong, but to please and "HONOR GOD" you don't do it.

As true christians we must learn to deny ourselves from the things of this world. In my life as a Christian, I have endured much pain, & sufferings, but I must admit that my God has seen me through it all. Through my trials,tribulations, and my sickness, I have come closer to God. My God is an awsome God! He will not give us a burden that we can't handle.

I pray that in this year I can witness more to the lost souls,for there is a dying world in pain, suffering. Searching for true love in all the wrong places. Jesus is the love of my life. I can honestly say that he completes me. He is the reason why I live! I love him sooooo much for when no one loved me, he did. When none understood me, he sure did. When I wanted to end my life, he came to me and said: Why end your life? "Come to me, I want to take away all the pain that you are enduring, and I want to give you life in abundance".

I have no words that can express my gratitude to my Saviour. All I can say to God is "THANK YOU" for the salvation of my soul; for taking my soul out of boundage. My soul has been set free to worship, and uplift the name of Jesus, and to testify to others what the Lord has done for me. That is why I praise him with all of my mind, heart, and soul. For when men gave up on me, My GOD picked up all my scattered pieces of my life, and he put them back together again.

Yes not only is God a friend of a wounded heart, but he is a recycler as well. For when Satan takes a life, and degrades them in the world, and then he says it's over, you are finished, you are worthless, no one one will love you now, etc... That's when God steps into the arena of our lives and says: Hey, but wait a minute, I HAVE THE LAST WORD! yup, he sure does!!! He takes the mess in our lives, and turns it into a blessing, he takes our hurts, lifes tragedies, and converts them into living testimonies that later on can help someone else.

Wow, our God is great and so worthy to be praised. Well now you all understand why I call myself a Jesus Freak! lol I just can't stop praising his name, I just can't stop praising his name....JESUS! lol

Well I pray for more annointing upon my life, more grace, authority, and more love so that I can give to others for what the Lord has given unto me. I also pray for my family here on JCFAITH, so that God can bless you all and that every person who joins this christian site, may truly be blessed and ministered by holy women/men of God. hey that's why we are here right??? lol May God bless you all and let us all remember that if God is able, then so are we. Love your sister in Christ,
