Amen. The only downside is that I am exhausted and I have to get a huge project for my business final completed. Need to stay awake.

I am sort of an inomniac mysef. But its not a condition where I want to go to sleep its more like I can (if I wanted) but I literally hate going to sleep. That might sound sort of odd (and it probably is) but I really dont like to go sleep (I fight it) Its like an interuption of things for me, and so I often stay up days at a time. I wish I can give you a little of it to help you help there.

I'll pray some of my insomnia comes your way cmarieh
(temporary ofcourse!) lol!

God supply all your need in this as well.

I sympathize because even I find it hard to stay up when doing something I must do but my heart is not into. That would somewhat help to remove "that will" in me to put off sleep as I do.

I hope its not too much of a drag for you (they are always the worse).

Remind yourself of Gods goodness. Consider, that if you did not bring your mom home from the ER you would not be as concerned in the present with this project, whether it must get done or not.

This will pass, you will be okay Sis

Peace to you in Jesus Christ the Lord, His strength be yours for the task at hand.

God bless you

I honestly dont dream.
I might if I had too much pizza, but even then its a very rare thing for me,
when I have dreamed (if you would call the same that) I dream in type.

Like words which cross through my mind, identical to what you might see if you were watching TV (even if it were a blank screen, as it is typically for me) but a thunderstorm warning was issued. It mirrors the same thing as watching those words move across the screen (but the screen is your mind) and the words move across your mind in that same way.

According to God's plan he does need us !!! Otherwise I don't Guess we would be here. I think God wanted children in his likeness to love him and he love them. He wanted a creation, an expression of him,a place in time and space to teach his children, to give life to myriads of creatures.

Need and want are two different things. He wants us but doesn't need us. He is complete all by Himself.

I cant figure out where he is speaking of, they sort of sling things around without quoting you and then shift the goal posts over words as usual.

Jesus had need of an ass to fulfill the scriptures.

That was just to ride in upon to fulfil the scriptures which needed to be.

There are men called such too.

And rather, its we who are complete in him.

But there are men called by Christ, and used by Him as needful vessels through whom they are co laubors with in Him in Gods husbandry.

Hope you are well bro (God bless)

God chose and God spoke. Never a mention of any needing going on. It's so apparent to me now how ya'll are able to nueter god to your image.

Mat 21:3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

Mat 21:4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, (Zech 9:9_saying,

Mat 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

All these things were needed for the scripture to be fulfilled

Even Judas (a man) to take him

Acst 1:16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

Mat 26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

Does not Christ need a body?

1 Corinthians 12:12
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

I would say, as God would dwell with them (and in them) by His Spirit and so then He would need a body (given we are the temple of the Holy Spirit) a temple not built by hands wherein He dwells

God is holy eternal almighty and total self sufficient. To suggest otherwise indicates an immature understanding of who God is.

God being holy doesnt contradict the scriptures posted.

The scriptures say God is holy, that his name is holy.

You use his name along with the words crap dont you?

Nice deflection but you can't have your cake and eat it too. God is either totally self sufficient or he is not. No parsing or wiggling your way outa that corner. But try you will....obviously.

Another deflection with a non sequitur argument. If you can't even get this right its no wonder why your theology is so goofy. Nice try tho.

So you can see how an accusation is slung (without a copy paste from the start) and how another answers according to the word (need) even there and then when you show the Lord and his having need (which is to fulfill the scripture) the same the body of Christ (which is many) that we ourselves our furnished by. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves (Paul says) but even that our sufficiency is of God.

I have no clue, that one just appears as multiple attempts to fly
(but crashing and burning)

This one just looks like it will take awhile, being in a constant state of free fall
