Whenever I look expectantly with excitement for God to deliver me from something, that is when it happens. It almost never happens when I worry and get depressed. Sometimes God brings someone my way, or lets me read something that changes the way I see my circumstances, or how I see a certain...

Even if it "was" God that told you to preach on the corner 1 John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and Titus 1:2 says "God can not lie" so it must be true. Confess it, and believe God has forgiven you...

Best thread I've read so far. Awesome comments from everyone too. Thanks to everyone for all the insight, I love you guys!

I think changing the tatoo into something else would be a awesome idea, and would probably relieve a lot of torment.

I don't have schizophrenia, but I have often thought that maybe the voices people hear are demons trying to make them do things, or to merely torment them. As for the meds making the voices go away, maybe it's not the meds, maybe it's the person's faith. They believe the voices will go when they...

Paul was rebuking them because they were speaking in tongues without an interpreter, period. He never said their tongues were not given utterance by the Holy Spirit. If that's the case, Paul would not have told them to speak to themselves and to "God" twice in that chapter, he would have told...

For most of my life, yes.

Me and my husband went to an outdoor gospel sing in West Virginia years ago and we seen this group there.

I'll be praying for them.

Hi :wave:and thank you Zandy!

I know what you mean. I was afraid of losing people too. With every person that came along I was just waiting for them to find a reason to leave. The only way I was able to overcome that was to decide to be a friend to someone, instead of looking for someone to be mine. Now, I just try to be...

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi, Patrick and thank you!

The exact thing happened to me. When I first turned to God, and started reading the Bible, I came across Mark 3:29. Immediately intense fear gripped me. I wondered if I might have already blasphemed the Holy Spirit, or if I might do it by accident. I tried to clear my mind so I wouldn't do it by...

I have had OCD most of my life. The past seven years it's been at it's worse. The triggers became more numerous and intense, and my emotional state from the triggers began to last days and weeks instead of just minutes or hours. To make a long story short, I realized I had better win this war or...

Awesome word!!!!

Your devotions are awesome! They really speak to me. The past few months, and even more so the past few weeks, God is urging me to press in and take back what I use to have as his child, and even more. Not to give in to my feelings and emotions, but take the land, and stand firm, and even bring...

You're not a mistake, you've just had bad circumstances send you down the wrong path in your mind. The path of self doubt. But that's OK because what we all need is to trust in God, not ourselves, and that is what gives you confidence like nothing else. The apostle Paul had Christians killed...

Hey :wave:

I don't know about becoming a Catholic, but Jesus tells us to be born again, which is God's free gift to us. John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. The way we become born again is to put our faith in Jesus...
