Will anyone please pray for me? Am heading into center city on saturday. (philly) Was there today, but for a dff reason, to visit my brother in hospital after being rushed to emergency. He's stable, and should be ok after some long term therapy following a stroke. I saw the prep for popes arrival, already getting crazy, and starting 10 pm tonite (thurs) things will be shutting down thruout mid city at least. Gonna have to take subway in, and security is already so tight... dont know what I'll be able to bring, including lunch!! Now, I'd like nothing more than to find some 'mary-onettes' as I say, or some higher ups in the rcc to do scriptural battle with, but I need to go, say and do as the Lord would lead me, and remember that there are millions coming to my city who are blinded by religion and false teaching in my Saviour's name, and if there is even one, just one person that God sets free, and it's His will to use me Iin that process, then that person and I are gonna need all the prayer we can get, as I'm sure you know the spiritual battles will be raging. I pray to be in full armor, and since I dont have alot of exp. in 'witnessing', I covet the prayers and any advice I can get from my brothers and sisters in Christ here on cchat. So please PM me or post ANY HELPFUL IDEAS you may have. Of course, if was to get close enough, I'd ask pope 1 Q. ... Did the Lord Jesus Christ die for all my sins once for all forever (and prove it by rising from the grave) or didn't He? I'm not sure how he'd answer, but I figure I may be near a rcc practitioner who could only answer 'I don't know'. If that happens, I only hope I have the right thing to say and the right way to say it. I am praying that God softens, even breaks my heart to care for the 'religious but lost', but if it's more His will to engage someone who teaches false doctrine, I pray for boldness of speech, to give a clear defense of the faith, for Jesus' sake and glory. Thanks for your help here. One last request, pls pray for philly police and the security detail, they are just ppl like us, and they have a tough enough time as it is without all the added nonsense coming this weekend. Pray for protection for those who protect. I hope I can give some firsthand accounts of what takes place come monday, if anyone's interested. Meanwhile, keep sharpening each others iron, just remember we are brothers and sisters IN CHRIST! To God be the glory, great things He has done, He loves us so much that He gave us His Son!
