in and not of, thank God!

i really need you to pray for the ppl that have heard that gospel in the last couple weeks of going out and stuff..

but this city!! my goodness.. i was sitting on my bed yesterday putting on makeup and i heard this guy shouting outside, which is pretty normal, and i look out and we have this like spiked fence dirt lot behind us and this couple was hidden behind it with some mattresses to hide them, and they were just shooting each other up with needles, like properly freaking out.. ive gotten so many drunk phone calls at nite, from these ppl ive met needing to talk, and as im hanging out with more and people from town, like its just so sad, bcuz the hold of drugs that satan has on these ppl is out of control. like weed, cocaine, heroine, alcohol and porn is all these ppl do. amazing beautiful ppl with hearts longing to be redeemed, they dont know it, but they are so lost and so in need of hope.. like this guy i was talking to yesterday was tellin me that the point of life was to have fun and make it thru each day the best you can.. and he has no idea there is anything more than doing mushrooms and playing music. )= its breakin my heart! just looking outside and seeing everyone on drugs.. like i was tellin him how cool it was that all the public bathrooms have cool black lites as their ligthing, and then he told me thats so ppl cant shoot up in the bathrooms, cuz in black lites you cant see ur veins.. ugh! just so much.. so much oppression, so much darkness.. hidden in the "fun" of dublin.. this is where everyone comes to party, cuz its actually gorgeous and the friendliest ppl ive ever met.. but its so sad. then, on top of the drugs, ppl just get in fights for no reason.. its absolutely out of control.. walking home and having to watch the sidewalk where i am walking bcuz of all the piles of vomit and people peeing in every corner and crevice... not even exagerrating.. my heart is breaking.. cuz i am meeting amazing ppl everywhere i go.. and realising how hopeless their lives are and just how much there is around me, its so sad..

so, if you could be praying for them all, (if you have real emails send it to me at: hisforever1@yahoo.com, and ill send you names), but i desperately need you guys to pray for these ppl.. these are all guys that have heard the gospel and are going to have to make a decision, pray that God would pursue them, and work in their hearts and show them his love and hope and truth and life, and continue to use me in any way in their lives. pray for the ppl i have yet to share with, for oppurtunities and soft hearts, ready to receive. pray against the evil one.

pray for victory over the darkness. pray for Gods spirit to move, pray for freedom for these ppl. pray God would use me, that i would continue to trust in faith that God loves these ppl more than i do, and that He desires to redeem them and set them free.. pray for the Spirit of God to move in ways that i couldnt even begin to ask. praise God for His gospel, His faithfulness to Himself and His love for these ppl. praise God that He does have a purpose and a plan, praise Him that He is good.. pray His will be done. and that He would save these ppl. "joe" ill call him, is especially is on my heart.. pray for him, his soul, his salvation.. pray for satans plans to be thwarted and for Christ to save His ppl..

for Christ died for such a ppl as these. the hurting, broken, drug addicted, lost souls who are not seeking after Him. He loves us and them equally, and this love is more than i could ever imagine! pray this love, this God, changes lives, "for such were some of you, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God." 1 cor. 6:11
He is willing. will you ask with me for these ppls souls? thank you guys. amen
