    Back again!

    Hi, I used to post on here a long time ago but sort of drifted away - that doesn’t matter as back again now. I’ve been through a lot of stuff bit coming through all of it now. Rediscovering my faith, step by step - it was always there but now the Lord is just about the first thought on my mind...

    So easily distracted ....

    Hi, I wonder if I can ask some advice please. I am really trying to be less 'worldly' - distance myself from gossip, not use Facebook and not spend so much time on the internet BUT I keep being distracted and going back on and look at things that I really don't need to. Why do I keep doing...

    Steps forward

    Hi, just wanted to share with you that I think I am slowly moving forward in my walk as I give myself over more to the Lord. I have struggled with something for a long time on and off now. Yesterday, as I was walking my dog, I had it in my mind to go a certain way so I could give into my...

    What Does It Mean to Speak in Tongues While Sleeping?

    Hi, I wonder if anyone has any ideas for me please. I have been speaking in tongues for just over 2 years now. Lately I've been asking to be filled with the Holy Spirit on just about a weekly basis as I believe we need to be refilled regularly. I've also been asking for more language as my...

    Why are people so rude about tongues?

    I just don't get it. Like some other people on here I posted on the Christian Advice section re someone who wanted to know about the wonderful gift of speaking in tongues to edify themselves in personal prayer. The thread I'm speaking of has had an onslaught of negativity from lots of people...

    How often do you get infilled by the Spirit?

    Hi, after my wonderful experience at Spring Harvest where I was infilled on Friday evening I bought a book by Jeannie Morgan and in it she says you should ask to be infilled on a daily basis - we have living water within us and we should ask to be refilled as we give it out. I haven't heard of...

    Amazing news!!!

    Hi, you may remember I've posted a few times before and have been generally wobbly with the Spirit side of things. I've just got back from Spring Harvest, a Christian 6 day event in the UK and it was just awesome. I could tell you loads but will just focus on what, for me, was gob smackingly...

    Why Do I Cry When I Pray in Tongues? Is It Wrong?

    For about the fourth day running, since I've been making a proper effort to pray in tongues and kick that old enemy into touch, I've ended up almost sobbing. Why should this be? Sorry, just wondering.

    So hoping that I'm turning a corner re doubts on tongues

    OK, so I've been having a really hard time of it lately for various reasons. However, despite all of this I want to go deeper in my love for God - I want to fall in love with him, dance with Jesus and be aware of the Spirit working within me. Not too much to ask is it?!! I started being...

    How to fall deeper in love with God

    My title says it all really. I want to be deeply, deeply, head over heels in love with God and Jesus. I know we aren't to go on our feelings but on our faith - this is what is real. However at the moment my prayers are feeling empty; it's like I'm going through the motions and there's no real...

    Gifts of the Spirit - feeling anxious

    I have just been browsing through previous threads and seeing what's been going on as recently got back from holiday. I came across a thread where someone believed they were talking in tongues and this had been going on for 3 years but they were actually possessed by a demon. They were prayed...

    What should I do?

    I tried to post a similar question to this last weekend but basically chickened out. Over the past 2 years I have developed feelings for my pastor - I am very happily married with 2 gorgeous children and he is married too with 3 children. Let me make it clear that I would NEVER do anything...

    Doubting - spiritual gift

    During a bible study I came across the following verses from James chapter 1: 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a...

    Listening and obeying

    I just wanted to share with you that I had a wonderful experience at Church last night. Well, it was actually quite scary but you'll see why in a minute! I was sat quietly listening to the sermon and looking at my bible when, out of the blue, I had a thought just spring into my head saying...

    Feeling rather confused

    I've been a Christian for 2 and a bit years now and would say I am doing OK; I yearn to learn more and get closer and basically live a better life. I sin, as we all do, even though I try so hard not to - I'm praying that God will help me to stop but it's a hard slog. I have been on my knees...

    Fear of God

    I have been hearing more and more how we need to fear God; I fully realise he is all powerful, supreme, can perform miracles etc and has put people to death (OT etc). My problem is I see him as my Father in heaven, all loving, all encompassing and I can't get my head around the idea I should...

    Refilling of the Holy Spirit

    Hi, I was baptised in the Holy Spirit back in September and was able to speak in tongues straight after - I use this for personal edification. However, of late, I feel that I need to be refilled but really don't know how to do it - sorry to seem daft but if you don't ask you don't find out do...

    How do I learn to listen?

    I have been a Christian for a little over 2 years n ow and over that time have had some real ups and some real downs. Back in September I was baptised in the Holy Spirit which was wonderful and I was given a gift. People have said that if you listen you can hear God speaking to you through...
