• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Any Spirit-filled Christian that was previously addicted to crack cocaine - or ministering and witnessing to one who is - available to give me advice?

Please advise. This is new to me. The worst I ever used in my BC days was weed - and having difficulty understanding the utter hold this poison has over them.

Asking also for anyone who reads this to please pray for Mary and Margie, for deliverance from this, salvation, and assurance of salvation, please. And the Holy Spirit's wisdom (and patience!) for me.

Thanks and God bless!

I have no experience but Jesus recommended fasting in Scripture for dealing with things that were hard. Matthew 17:21
Already there, Bro. Thanks for the confirmation!

I don't know either, but i quit watching inappropriate stuff on the internet it has been like 3 years since i last watched any of that.
And for me, i needed to pray and cry out to God with determination and consistency until the problem was solved.
Some deliverance was involved too.
That is what the bible says too to do, pray the problems away.

Yeah, I was once addicted to crack.
Crack is like a condensed, purified, version of cocaine.
Like jet fuel, compared to no-lead regular gas.
But I had a dream in which I was robbing a convenience store for money to buy more crack.
I never used it again.
Thanks be to God.
It wasn't long after that that I repented of all other sin too.

I will pray for you and your friends.

Crack is like a condensed, purified, version of cocaine.
Like jet fuel, compared to low-lead regular gas.
But I had a dream in which I was robbing a convenience store for money to but more crack.
I never used it again.
