    Getting tired of the nonsense.................

    For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

    Getting tired of the nonsense.................

    I have never said that people don't need meds. In fact, I've encouraged others to take their meds. I know that my doctors and prescribed drugs kept me alive for 10 years . . . then it reached a point where nothing worked. My testimony is this: I was sick and now I'm not! I was taking...

    Getting tired of the nonsense.................

    Your point was well made and supported by a number of others. I have been one of those people that made you angry. I'm sorry! No, really! I'm sorry! It is because of replies like yours that I have been silent for a long time. One thing is certain -- I don't want to fight! Its not worth...

    Depressed and wants out!!!

    Michelle, I take your situation very seriously. I have been praying for you. I feel led to tell you several things. The reaction you have been experiencing at Church has not come from God. God is not punnishing you or disappointed in you at all. You have been given a special faith in...

    More Confusion

    Remember, God is not the author of confusion. I like the verse that Goldenviolet quoted: "Be still and know that I am God." When we can be perfectly still -- not moving, not worrying, not thinking about everything we need to be doing -- we can KNOW that He is God. How? I don't know. But it...

    Have you ever felt

    I am running out the door myself. I have a boy that needs to go to school. You will be in my prayers all day. We'll talk later. Stephen

    Have you ever felt

    You are right in saying that it is "just too strong". It is -- on your own. I encourage you to give-in, but don't give up! When you give-in, give everything to God. Tell Him how tired and exasperated you are concerning the whole thing. When you are weak -- HE is strong! Think back to...

    Have you ever felt

    I have had a picture in my mind of nature scenes. I have pictured water, streams and trees. I don't know how this fits in. Go to the gym and do your work-out. I will keep praying about this. If you feel like panicing -- say the name of Jesus under your breath. The name of Jesus is the...

    Have you ever felt

    Hey, you sound better this morning. I know that you have your morning laid out -- I want to encourage you to change the schedule, if you can. Find someplace you can go for a walk, near the water, through the trees -- someplace like that. Don't try to exercise! Just walk! Keep saying that...

    Have you ever felt

    I was just thinking about the song Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus -- look full into His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace. There's a trick to this whole thing. Jesus is interested in who you are RIGHT NOW! He loves you just the...

    I'm sick being a Christian

    After praying for you and your situation, I wanted to encourage you to do your own thing. Try all the other philosophies, cults and occults. Study them hard. Its obvious that Christianity isn't working for you, so maybe the answer is outside Christ's organization. While praying for you, I...

    Have you ever felt

    You are such a brave woman. It may not feel like it, but my hat is off to you! It took great courage to let us into your life. You are going to receive healing. I know this. While I was praying for you, I saw God reaching down and comforting you in a way that only He can do. You will be...

    Have you ever felt

    I have been sitting here praying for you. You are under attack. The evil one is hovering around you trying to defeat you and depleat your energies -- render you absolutely useless. God has a special plan for your life and the enemy doesn't want this to happen. Don't try to do anything. If...

    Have you ever felt

    Let me guess. You pray as much as you can (when you have the energy) but as you are praying, you feel as if God is disappointed in you. You don't even pick up the Bible, because you don't want to add to the confusion in your soul. You don't want to go to church, because you feel like it is...

    Marijuana?

    It has been many years since I did the "weed" thing. My problem was tobacco. I smoked Camel non-filters for 25 years or more -- that is, until last week. I prayed that God would deliver me from them . . . and He did! I remember other Christians over the years coming up to me with their...

    I'm sick being a Christian

    It sounds as if you have been hurt by another Christian. Its as if you have expectations on the Christian faith that aren't being met. I can understand being angry, hurt and even miserable. However, I don't understand leaping from "The Christian Thing" into "Satanism". Why the contrast...

    Bi-Polar research

    Thanks Vinnie. I've been struggling. Talking to Jesus has been the greatest comfort I have ever known. I do this without ceasing!

    Bi-Polar research

    I love and hate this topic. My experience has been that when you say the bipolar illness is 100% spiritual, people come out of the woodwork to try to discredit the person making the claim. When you rate the disease as 80/20, 60/40, or anything inbetween, it is more widely accepted -- sort of...

    why does God put desires on our hearts way befor...

    I'm going through this right now. I was called to the ministry at the age of 15. I'm now 44. I have had visions my entire life -- it took all this time and experience to see that it was indeed God calling me. I believe that the span of time was a combination of developing spiritually and...
