    Who is against you?

    Have you ever ran across this scripture before? Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? From the start of the chapter it talks about how there is no condemnation for people who are believers. That the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ...

    Sexual Desire for women disappeared

    When I was 16/17 it seemed like my sexual desire for women left overnight and since then I begun to hate myself as I could never have a girlfriend because I'd be lying to myself and I wouldn't be able to please her properly or be honest with her. I did bad things to 'test' myself and I couldn't...
