Sometimes we pray and pray and it seems like nothing happens.

Sometimes it seems that we pray and pray and nothing happens. This leads some of us to feel that God has abandoned us. The truth is that God would never abandon any of his precious children! He would never leave your nor forsake you! Sometimes it takes time for our miracles to manifest. It's not that God is too busy to get to you, not at all! There is a timing behind everything and God being all-wise knows when to best manifest the answer to a prayer or bring about a miracle. God always acts on our best behalf. Whether it is a lesson we need to learn, or a reason only God understands, our prayers will be answered in Gods due time. God would never ignore nor abandon us. We must continue to show our faith and trust in Him as we wait and our miracles will manifest before we know it in their due time!

Christadelphians their name

CHRISTADELPHIANS

Believe that their name is scriptural and apostolic.  The "one body" of which Christ is the Head should not be nameless; but "Christian" has ceased to be distinctive, and for centuries has been mocked by wars between nations in which both sides professed Christianity.
In Psalm 22, which is prophetic of Christ, believers in him are spoken of as "my brethren", and the Epistle to the Hebrews, quoting the words, says, "He is not ashamed to call them brethren"
(Heb. 2: 11-12).  "Christ's Brethren" is in Greek Christou Adelphoi, and from this name Christadelphian is formed.

Bid voor de Vrede van Jerusalem, en voor Christus terugkomst - Micah 4:1-8

“Op het eind van de dagen zal het gebeuren, dat de berg van het huis van Jahwe vast zal staan als de eerste der bergen, verheven boven de heuvels en de volken stromen naar hem toe, de vele naties gaan op weg en zeggen: ‘Komt, laat ons opgaan naar de berg van Jahwe, naar het huis van Jakobs God: dan zal Hij ons zijn wegen wijzen en wij zullen zijn paden bewandelen. Ja, in Sion ontspringt de wet, in Jeruzalem het woord van Jahwe.’ Hij zal recht doen tussen de vele volken en machtige naties tuchtigen, al wonen zij nog zo ver. Dan smeden zij hun zwaarden om tot ploegscharen en hun speerpunten tot snoeimessen; geen volk heft het zwaard meer tegen een ander en de oorlog leren zij niet meer. Een ieder zal onder zijn wingerd zitten of onder zijn vijgeboom, door niemand opgeschrikt. Want de mond van Jahwe heeft gesproken, van Jahwe van de legerscharen. Laat de andere volken hun wegen gaan, elk volk in de naam van zijn God, wij gaan onze weg in de naam van Jahwe, onze God in tijd en eeuwigheid. Op die dag - zo luidt de godsspraak van Jahwe - wil Ik verzamelen wat kreupel is, bijeenbrengen wat uiteen is gejaag den degenen aan wie Ik leed heb gedaan. Van dat kreupele maak Ik dan een rest, van dat afgejakkerde een machtig volk. Jahwe zal hen regeren op de berg Sion van nu af tot in eeuwigheid. Wat u betreft, gij Toren-van-de-kudde, ‘Ofel, dochter Sion, tot u komt weer de heerschappij van vroeger; het koningschap behoort aan de dochter Jeruzalem.” (Mic 4:1-8 WV78)

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, for Christ to return - Micah 4:1-8

But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. and he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.   But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever. In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.

Robertson: God says U.S. will accept socialism

Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, announced at his staff's annual prayer retreat that God told him Americans would embrace socialism in 2009 "in order to relieve their pain" and that the economy would rebound under an Obama administration.
"The Lord said the economy of your nation will recover," Robertson told a group assembled at Founders Inn on the campus of Regent University in Virginia Beach, Va., a university Robertson founded.
Robertson said God also declared, "The steps taken will lead to a dramatic increase in the power of government. The people will welcome socialism in order to relieve their pain. Nothing will stand in the way of a plan by Obama to restructure the economy in the same fashion as the New Deal in the '30s."

In the interview with Meeuwsen, Robertson assures Americans that contrary to many economists' opinions, the economic recovery will be swift.
Socialist policies and massive government spending, Robertson told Meeuwsen, could lead to heavy hyperinflation, sending prices through the roof and the value of the dollar through the floor.
