The Inner Room

PLEASE ALL READ!



Some CHANGES must be made (VERY reluctantly on my part!) to The Inner Room.

This is the 3rd forum I've had The IR on - and I learnt a pile from those previous experiences. The sad but very important one is what's just now started happening here. It's not a bad thing, just the opposite! But unfortunately it has consequences! What I'm referring to is that The IR is becoming, well, sort of too popular! - with the result that more and more are posting here.

Great thing, hey! I totally agree, cos I just love reading people's posts. And they often spark a new message for me to write - but I guess you've noticed that! *haha*

But here's what happens, what I called the consequence above. With too many daily posts on the thread, people begin to not be able to keep up! (Also becomes too much for me to keep up with.) They get bogged down trying to read them all, and many will begin to leave! Which obviously is contrary to the charge the Lord has placed upon me, which is to have a teaching thread where I can share with others, the things from the Word of God that He's taught me over the past 50 years.

Okay, some of you on The IR are now writing 'teaching' posts yourselves! - which is absolutely fantastic!! Others are writing of their real-life experiences. Don't you LOVE reading those! I sure do!! So am I trying to stifle any of these? NO, NO, NO!!!

So here's my suggestion. Fluffy and I go back a fair way. We've worked together and supported each other a fair ole time. And I dearly love her in the Lord Jesus!! Her Coffee House that she started before the IR is quite excellent! A wonderful place to sit and sip a cup of *insert preferred beverage here!* together, and share your life, needs, what you've learnt, whatever. People there will read and care and love you, just as here! I post there also, HERE!

Please DON'T leave me here bereft of company by all going there. Let's share, hey!! Fluf will welcome you in the Coffee House. I need a few to stay here with me - else it just becomes a thread of messages, and THAT'S not what the Lord or I want or need either!

Here are the New Guidelines so you can feel able to stay here, so that The Inner Room continues to be of help and blessing to many, just as it's done virtually from day one:


1. Primarily I post messages as the Lord gives them to me. That's how it works, and what the thread is for.

2. People read, learn - and maybe comment on them (i.e., on topic)

3. People also raise and/or ask about other matters which we can look at or pray about.

4. Posters, please 'self regulate' with this, i.e., look at how many posts, see if it looks like too many for the average visitor to read in a day, and regulate your posting accordingly. Thanks a bunch!


I've not done such Guidelines before, but hope and pray it will work out. EVERYONE, PLEASE DO NOT FEEL I'M CHASING ANYONE AWAY!! I'M NOT!!!

And if you post on Fluffy's thread PLEASE STILL DO COME AND READ THE LORD'S MESSAGES HERE!!! Read, Learn, Grow. That's what HE wants for us all.

"Lord, I continue to ask you to please bless every soul who visits The Inner Room! Speak to their minds first, then their hearts. Grow them, Lord, grow them to maturity in the Lord Jesus. Teach them YOUR ways. Continue to guide me as to what YOU want to say to all of us. Bless You! - for You truly are - OUR GOD!!!"

Love and hugs to you all!
