Hi Niki, I read note and I am proud of you - I'm sure Jesus is to, as you seek a more intimate relationship with Him(Jehovah God). Nothing is wrong with loving your friend, just make sure that your love does not go against the righteousness of God, and remember too that God is a Jealous God, that means don't ever love anything more than Him.
Now if your friend still is at the point he is on the gay train, and Jesus is calling you, prepare yourself for that seperation that will naturally bring pain that will push you into the arms of your Heavenly Father.
I myself am asking the Lord to heal my heart and mind of things I will never understand as I do love someone who insist he is going in his own destructive direction, but if we love them soooo much, let us both make up in our minds to be Lights for Christ, and when they see us from their extreme darkness- that they will walk toward THE LIGHT. Let's continue to press forward, pray and know that God knows what He is doing. REMEMBER - THE DEVIL IS A LIAR! Guard your heart- know who deserves ALL your love. Your sister who is coming out of PAIN, Monique.

The Bible says, the Living Word of God- that death and life lies in the power of the tongue. You want something, ask Jesus for it, believe that you have recieved it and keep thanking the Lord for it as if you have gotten it already. Repent now for such negative words spoken, and don't you ever speak of your self as though you are not worthy of standing in another man's presence. All that negative stuff needs to be flushed out of your mind. You have not because you ask not! And if you ask with wrong intentions you will not recieve . If it is your hearts desire for you to do any thing that brings glory to the One Lord, I am agreeing with you in prayer In The Name of Jesus. Now Believe! Remember....NO~! can also be an answer as The Lord knows your heart.

Donnie...... I appreciate you so deeply. You are a true vessel of Christ. I love your openness and honesty. I met you at mega-fest 2006. You were so sweet and genuine. You gave me the biggest hug and were so humble. Your honesty is what makes satin bleed, also your amazing worship to our incredible Savior makes the devil run. People are refreshed with the presence of God through your precious testimony and that God given voice and worship. I pray in Jesus name that you would continue to tear down the enemies camp, with Pastoring, Fathering, Mentoring and Singing. I truely appreciate you and know one day we will be close friends! I will continue to intercede for you! Sincerely, Melanie

pastor, it's very touching what you have gone through, but am glad that you've ysed that as a stepping to greater success that GOD has elavated you to. i also have been struggling with myself. i lost my parents at a very young stage ( father in '93, mother@16). back then i thought that it was over for me but God knew that it was just the begining. as Christ said in the crossed"it is finished", He really meant that it was the begining for us Christians to light up this world with the anointing that the Lord has anointed us with. av been inolved with a youth group for the past 10 years and 2 years there was a split up due to that one of the leaders ssaid that he was now going to full time ministry. there was a bitter tension such that the group ended up being divided into two and since then many of us lost it but yet tried to hold on to Christ though it seemed like a hard battle to fight than previously. some ended up going back to the circular world and up till this day they are lost from the WAY. please pray for me so that i can be strong in coming back and fighting what ever circumstances that i encounter along the way, and that the group can re-unite and light the country like never before.
thank your
Greeting to you mlamuli motsa. I was justing reading your message. I know it has been awhile since you wrote this but I pray that all is well. I couldn’t help but feel your pain. I encourage you to stay strong and gather yourself behind some strong Godly men and women that is willing to be a mentor to you. I will keep you and your friends in my prayer. We can’t allow satan and his army to continue to destroy the youth of this nation. I pray God blessing upon you.
You Sister in Christ
