From leaving home,

The Lord saved him and this is his conversion
This is his testimony,, his true free verse diary that spanned over fifteen years,
published in the U.S.A
This is Brett's.... (A Way to Redemption).

Brett have you read this in the BIBLE yet?

1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

You need to pray and read your Bible some more. May God lead you and keep you safe.Lord cut the bonds of darkness in Brett's life and show Him Your light and lead Him on the path of righteousness. In Jesus name we pray, amen

If I was able to give my book away I would. I cannot.
I would like as many people as I can to read my book, not for my personal gain, but for the teachings the Lord has humbly given my through my pen,
to help people who are also having a hard time dealing with this world of cruelty. and manipulation, internal and external.

If you are judgeing me on what you think I am doing,
Judge not for you will be judged yourself.
We cannot descerne the motives of people for we cannot read the heart,

I don't think you should be telling people they need to pray, when you know them not,
The spirit of the Lord, (the holy spirit) imparts an impression on people eg. guilt, enlightenment. And this will cause people to pray.
And prayer is for closed doors, between the Saviour and us,
Prayers are not needed for the ears of others eg.( you say in Jesus name we pray). This is not a prayer to the Lord you are praying for others
to hear your voice, You cannot pray in Jesus name, as you are just a mere person like everyone else.If you want to pray to the Lord to help
someone you should be praying please Lord help such n such, and this prayer should be secret, and not for the ears and eyes of others,
For the Glory is the Lords and it is not yours to receive......

Jesus tells us to pray and to praise God to all the nations. if you do not speak in the person's presence the prayer they will not know that GOD answered it and saved them. they will pridefully say it is them.
I tell everyone to pray because the Bible tells us to pray UNCEASINGLY.

your answer should have been I pray to God that He will keep me safe and deliver me.

why keep things SECRET? God told us to let our light SHINE and not hide it.

May God keep you safe and we pray in Jesus name so that all might know who gives Salvation.

not Buddha, not Allah but JESUS. its a statement of FAITH. you should strengthen your shield of FAITH and place the helmet of Salvation firmly on your head.

it you wish people to read you testimony then POST them, its free and only takes time. if its not about MONEY then POST your words and poems.

YOU WROTE THIS: if you do not speak in the person's presence the prayer they will not know that GOD answered it and saved them. they will pridefully say it is them.

Example:::: AnadaHya prayed for me everyone and God answered my prayer, Does this mean that only God will answer my prayers if someone else
prays for me?........

Are you trying to take the light of the Lords as your own?
No one can fully understand the way the Lord answers prayers,
and if you you say prayers for everyone for everyone else to hear, This is a spectacle,
You are trying to be an intercessor, between you and the Lord, this is evil,
Priests pray for people as a spectacle.
You are tempting the Lord,
CHRIST CAME AND DIED TO DO AWAY WITH LEGAL RELIGIONS SO EVERYONE ON EARTH CAN HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE SAVED, OUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR,
If you run aound and pray for people, letting other people see or hear you do this then you are doing this for your own glory,

Example:: Wow, Anadhya prayed for me everyone, and I got saved thanks Anadhaya.... This is evil , you are taking glory away from the Lord,
You speak about faith, well faith has it the the Lord will answer prayers HOW HE SEES BEST FIT , and faith is not put into you Anadhya

Do not pray for me, for I pray for myself. for when you pray you are praying as a spectacle, AND TEMPTING THE LORD.... An intercession........

The resurrected is my Lord the son of man, I pray to him, my faith, that I beleive that He is real and He rose again as our saviour, We do not need an
intercession,

Faith is believing, When I say to pray therfore in secret, It is okay to pray for someone in secret, and then it is through faith and belief that the Lord will work his works for someone, giving all the Glory and thankfulness to the Lord, DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR SPECTACLE IS EVIL.

YOU SPEAK OF PRAISING GOD,

Praise the Lord
Praise God in his sanctuary
Praise him in his heavens
Praise him in his acts of power
Praise him for his surpassing greatness
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet
Praise him with the harp and lyre,
Praise him with tambourine and dancing
Praise him with the strings and flute
Praise him the the clash of symbols
Praise him with resounding symbols
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord,

And let every living man whom will be judged pray to the Lord for forgiveness
When we are judged we will be judged on accounts of our own lives, our hearts and lives will be opened as a book, and every account
of what we do here will be shown to us from the Lord, this will be done as us our individual self with the Lord, The Lord is the only one who covers our
sins, He is the Saccrificial Lamb, He is the Saviour,

You have judged me from the start and you have taken no heed to my teachings and you have taken upon yourself that I am doing wrong and you have decided that I need saving, this is OPPRESSING,

Who do you think you are, you are a mere man like everyone else, Glory is of the Lords not yours, He shall judge me and He is my personal saviour
our personal saviour,

I don't think you should execute your judgement on anyone else whom you think needs saving,

STRIVE NOT WITH A MAN WITHOUT CAUSE
IF HE HAVE NOT DONE THEE NO HARM
ENVY NOT THE OPPRESSOR,
AND CHOOSE NONE OF HIS WAYS
FOR THE FROWARD IS ABOMINATION TO THE LORD:
BUT HIS SECRET IS WITH THE RIGHTEOUS
THE CURSE OF THE LORD IS IN THE HOUSE OF THE WICKED:
BUT HE BLESSETH THE HABITATION OF THE JUST
SURELY HE SCORNETH THE SCORNERS:
BUT HE GIVETH GRACE UNTO THE LOWLY.
THE WISE SHALL INHERIT GLORY:
BUT SHAME SHALL BE THE PROMOTION OF FOOLS.

My apologies I did not realize I was oppressing you by praying for you or warning you of how you are appearing to the world. I did not judge YOU only God judges a person heart but I merely told you that your actions made me question your motives.

whenever someone posts the same message on all forums all pointing people to a website selling their books when they could simply share their stories and their teaching and their lessons with the people asking, that tells me to inquire after motive. and when I inquire, I am told not to pray for others.

GOD answers all prayers and Jesus is our only intercessor. Sometimes people like having company and enjoy in fellowship. why do we have prayer request forum if we did not think our brothers and sister would pray for and with us? Personally I want as many prayers spoken over my life as people are willing to spend the time to speak out of love.

All mature Christians know that GOD is the only one who answers prayers and that the HOLY SPIRIT is our only intercessor.

Perhaps it is vanity that I go around praying for other people but you misread my motives. It is not because I think my praying with them makes any difference to God but more as an encouragement not to give up while God answers their prayers.

The Bible says to weep with those who sorrow, rejoice with those who are happy. Its called companionship.

Apologies it appears you which to be alone and have no one answer your rants or question you.

if you post to share your experiences why don't you just share them?

don't worry i be sure not to pray in your presence, if you stumble across one of my humble prayers, just skip it and don't read them.

my suggestion would be to add a link to your website to your signature link and use this site as it was intended to be used to make friends and walk with them with Jesus as our Guide and Shepherd.

if you notice the lack of response?

it should tell you something. I was trying to be kind not judgmental in my statements and suggesting you change tactics if you truly want to help and connect with people.

just type and talk to us instead of posting the same running ad on all forums. that is all I ask but its up to you to listen or not.

Dear AnandaHya, Thankyou for your apologies, Maybe if you questioned my motives by humbly asking me, I would have given a prompt and assertive answer about what I was doing.Brett have you read this in the BIBLE yet?

1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

This is not a humble questioning this is a judgement. Maybe we should all be careful about how we use powerful scriptures
Do you remember when I first talked to you you were having trouble with people
from your church and you were talking to angels, and I wrote to help you with this, Do you remember.

I like to help people and I do not mind people questioning me I am open to constructive conversation,

I do not like people accusing me,

I do like people asking, TREAT PEOPLE AS YOU YOURSELF WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED.
Alot of people think they are better than other people. or they portray this by bad wording,

I would like you to know because you seem very concerned about the book I have written, My book was published in America, I live in New Zealand.
It was a joint venture contract, With Eloquent, Strategic books, Which means I had to pay for half the publishing costs,
I am a net maker in Christchurch, and i MAKE A HUMBLE WAGE, The publishing cost was alot, and I have been asked to sell the bare minimum
of 500 books, then Strategic books will help me out (PR)...... If I do not sell 500 books then Strategic books will let me and my book go.
I have been posting quite a few times with different articles relating to my life and my book. My book is different, It is my acutual diary,
And one poem flows into another and so on towards the end .It is thankfully written as a presentation of the process that the Lord has pulled me through, The collection has to go together, Although some seem very individualised, they all relate and correspond to the next and some don't make sense without relating to the one before or the one or two after, My book is only $12.00. 142 pages.

I am not trying to rip people off, I am not trying to make money on the Lords word.
I am selling my diary, which has included my personal, wants and desires, you know the kind of thing that you usually don't want anyone else to read.
So yes I would like people to pay for this, because my heart and my loves are worth $12.00 a book,

My authors website. you say I should put a link on this so peole can go there and I can create a following, I would like to tell you that this is run by Strategic book. And they made this site for me for selling my book only,

But as it seems I feel like I am gaining a following here on Christian chat, Thankyou AnadHya for your support,

no i mean you don't have to post it all the time there is a button. if you notice my "signature" changes every day.

when you go to the mail button and check you messages. on the side there is a signature tab on the left side you can click and add the website. just thought it would save you some time and trouble and it would appear where ever you post a comment.

I understand your worry but I still think you need to leave it in God's hands and not worry about money. It was not being judgmental of what you were doing but out of concern that it troubled you too much. Here remember these verses. Remember FOCUS on JESUS and all else will be added to you. May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Matthew 6:24-26 (New King James Version)

You Cannot Serve God and Riches


24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
