Parade Orange Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 the reference to 'Holiday' and such was on her first album. I went out and bought it at age 21 when she was an unknown and emerging. Had no idea I would follow her like a puppy and she would become a lasting superstar. Still making number One hits! and why she should aplogize for her past? she says in her song 'human nature' Absolutly no regrets! everything she has done led her to where she is right now! a Sabbathkeeper and a vegitarian.! Some SDA's I know condemn others to hell for breaking the Sabbath and eating meat! So on their paltry scale.... She is on her way!!! Quote All progress in the Spiritual Life is knowing and Loving GOD"there is non upon earth that I desire besides YOU" PS 73:25That perspective changes EVERYTHING-suffering and adversity are the means that makes us hungry for GOD. Disapointments will wean us away wordly occupations. Even sin(when repented of) becomes a mechanism to push us closer to HIM as we experience His Love and Forgiveness.
Pockey Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 i have been reflecting on this thread. I want to apologize to Nico and anyone else I may have offended by my words. I don't believe I was thinking "big" enough. Why can't God hear all our prayers. Even if it something seems so out of reach, He can answer our prayers. He is omnipotent, there is nothing He cannot do. Quote
olger Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Unless Madonna resolves her moral strongholds and enemy issues she will pass her weaknesses on to her children. God is not mocked in this. Many parents want their children to do 'better" than they did, but are unwilling to resolve the spiritual issues that they will pass on to their children. These things need to be acknowleged & repented of if we are to have freedom in our lives. This will also pave the way for our children to experience freedom. I can give examples if need be. gcw Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."
Clio Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Quote: Sid said: Nah, no put down Nico, I just think it's silly. *shrug* I'm very surprised that anyone could think prayer for someone else is silly. There is no more powerful, precious, life-giving thing one can do than to pray for someone. Anyone. Without a burden for the lost, how can one understand the compassionate heart of our Kinsman Redeemer? How will praying for a "celebrity" harm anyone? It won't. In fact, the very act of praying for someone else opens our heart to blessings of love we might not have otherwise received. It is the selfless act of intercession for the well-being of others with no expectation of reward that is the ultimate act of love. "Greater love hath no man than this: that he lay down his life for his friend." We are not often called to lay down our lives in this day and age, (although that may change) but how can we choose to avoid the most loving thing we can do for any person? Is not that most loving thing to ask the Creator King of all the Universe to intercede in someone's life to draw that person ever-closer to Himself? No matter who it is?

Clio Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Quote: Sid said: Why is she definitely in need of prayer? Because she is obviously searching, is in an industry where evil is pervasive, and even were she saved and sealed to the Most High, in that environment she would still be definately in need of prayer. Quote: Is she a bad person? I don't know. Don't really care either. Quote: Have you prayed for every prayer request here among are midst? Every single day, whether I post that I have or not. I sometimes wake up, as I did this morning, with specific prayer requests made in that thread on my mind. I spent an hour or so at 2:00 am over the requests the Holy Spirit woke me up with insistence about. Quote: What are you trying to accomplish? That one more person will choose Abba and True Jesus before it's too late. Quote: That she'll keep the Sabbath? No Sid. She already does. Quote: C'mon. Don't throw your pearls away. I have an unlimited supply of pearls. True Jesus replenishes my supply as needed. Prayer is never wasted. Quote: There's people within our own circle that don't keep the Sabbath who need our prayers. Us vs. Them? Jesus didn't make that distinction. Quote: It just seems like some magical thinking, like "oh yay let's pray for Madonna, cause you know she's famous and all, so if she goes to church on the 7th day, then that'll be a great influence on everyone else". Yeah right. ???? Where on earth did you get your notions regarding prayer... oh... nevermind. I was there too once. Quote: It would probably bring more ridicule to the most Holy day. And yes I understand she's a child of God and God died for her. But let's be real here. Time is too short. All the more reason to pray. Do you think Abba is not capable of answering my prayers for Madonna? Do you think He has no interest in answering my prayers for Madonna? If either answer is "Yes" than I am wasting my time and it is silly. And I am deceived and the Bible is a lie. I refuse to believe that either is the case.

On that we agree. Quote A heart where He alone has first place.
