Breaking Loose

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi:

I know you guys thought I was supposed to be leaving my job...and I was 
very close.  I am still here, and I was reading Sis. Yohnk's message 
and, sister, I am sooooo desparate for a touch from God.  I literally 
feel if he does not touch me, revive me, restore me, that I will die.  
The scriptures does say that it is in Him we live and move and have our 
being.  I feel like I have no spiritual breath in me.  

Will you all PLEASE pray for me that God will touch, refill, restore, 
and renew His fire in me.  I am panting in a desert and need a drink 
from the Lord!  (I fully understand what connotations the "!" implies.  
I am indeed desparate!)  I have been to church for the past few weeks 
and have left the same way I came, even after weeping at the altar and 
seeking God during the week.  Please keep my kids and I in your fervent 
prayers...

I need not only to break loose, but a BREAKTHROUGH!!

Thank you and God Bless You
