I know this should be in pray and test thred line bt i wanted to consult just the Bros about this. Not that the Sis are lacking or not good enough, just feel i should post this here.


I am a minister of the Gospel as some of you know, i am in my mind very young and i fight tremendous tremendous battles every sec of the day. and i would say that i have hit the hardest trails i have seen yet. and i desperatly ask for all your fervant prayers. i work in a retail store so my eyes are beraged (sp) by all sorts of undecency and the people i work with are very very dirty, and it's hard to even considering not quiting my job, so i would again ask you to bind with me in prayer. two of my brothers are baptist and detest the message, and make sure to avoid me completely ans shun me. please keep in prayer fo me.

Truly God is giving me a deeper revelation on learning though the things we suffer.

Forgive my weakness my Brothers,

These are desperate times. One can hardly work anywhere's without the indecency thing coming one's way, or go any place without that female on display (Flashing Red Light of His Coming).

Than if one does get a job in a male dominanted area (usually tradesmen work), their minds are in the gutter, and they play on the innuendos. Twist things around.

But we do have a double barrel shotgun to shoot with it's the Old and New Testament.

I have found certain jobs more preferencial than others. Working with brothers is a plus ( the down side is you will see their backside, and must always remember they are looking at the same cross you are).

However the darker the place the more our Candle aught to shin.

Finally as you seek 'Pray one for another' so I will

It is true that in the workplace we are often surrounded by sin and filth. It is important to remember that the people we meet are lost, and that were it not for the grace of God we would be just as dirty as they are. We must be a light to those around us.
I will be praying for you Josh...that God will help you to overcome and will use you as an ambassador for Him in the midst of such a worldly setting...

Kinda thinking of Timotheus...
sad your brothers are acting like that, though perhaps, your living with God will show them some of His ways, or at least they see your forgiving approach.

Remember Gods word again and again affirms, your stresses, your difficulties, will end up blessing (strange as it sounds), as your character will be purified through all of it.

Please include me too in your prayers. I too have those circumstances where filthy jokes are shared by everyone in our team. Oh, if we could only see the anointing beyond the people... So thankful to the Lord for giving us the revelation and grace that keeps us clean.
