    Led by the Spirit

    Matthew 4:1-11 ESV Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he...

    Clay Vessels

    We read in 2 Corinthians 4:7: “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” Basically, what this means is that God, by His grace, via our faith in Jesus Christ, has placed his Spirit and His Word within humans who are frail...

    Feeling hopeless about finding a husband and resisting temptation

    Hello everyone, I'm 22 and a little less than a year ago I ended a relationship with my exboyfriend because he was not a believer and I decided to follow Jesus. At that time, I was also sure that my future husband was somewhere out there. Well, about a year later I feel like everyone around...

    God answered my prayer and removed temptation, but now i feel heartbroken

    I have been struggling with temptation and lust, with a coworker of mine. I prayed over it, but those prayers of "I know this is what I should pray about, but in my heart it's not what I want." And here I am now, with the temptation removed, but my heart aching. Asking for prayers of...

    Battles Of The Mind

    My Enemies Trample Psalm 56:1-4 ESV Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I...

    Faith Like A Child

    Turn Like Children Matthew 18:1-4 ESV At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the...

    "But, I'm Only Human"

    I've heard this poison preached by all sorts of people, including pastors and teachers alike. The issue isn't that your only human but looking for an excuse to willfully sin. Many look to justify their sins by claiming to not be perfect... Lets face it, were not. However when we know what it...

    Temptation to Stray

    Envy and Pride Psalm 73:1-9 ESV Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For they have no pangs until death...

    How come I'm tempted into sinning even though I pray to God to help me?

    Satan always nags me with temptations to sin. And I keep repeating that same sin. But even though I pray to God to help me not turn to it, I eventually fall apart. If God really was controlling my life and wanted me to not sin, then how come I still do it? And how do I prevent it?

    No Temptation

    In 2014, I tried my hand at some short devotionals where I spoke them, and I put the words into a Power Point Presentation, and then made them into videos, and I posted them on YouTube. I had forgotten about them until I was going through some of my older writings today. So, I am going to share...

    Walk in Victory

    We are saved from our sins, and given eternal life with God, not just so we can escape hell and have the promise of heaven as our eternal home. When we believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives, our new lives in Christ Jesus have only begun. He has so much he wants to do in and...

My problem is that when we first met i wasnt Christian, and we shared an active sex life. Although...

    Ask for Prayer About Your Flaws

    So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” Genesis Ch 4 v 6-7. Cain was a pretty awful guy, he had a short...

    Can Satan hear me?

    I would like to start off by saying that I have very little knowledge of who Satan is. I know that he is very real, but I don't know much about him, and feel like I should know more about him, so that I know what to avoid. Now my main questions are as follows: 1. Can Satan hear me? 2. Can Satan...

    Don't let the birds overhead hinder the effort to sow seeds

    The enemies approach on us is very similar to the approach taken on Jesus in the wilderness temptation. It attacks all areas of human living. Body, mind and spirit. Emotion, intellect and will. From how we worship and serve, in our physical necessities, to our spiritual activity. FI= There is...

    When Problems Arise

    Tuesday, September 26, 2017, 4:36 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Lord, I Need You.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 27 (Select vv. ESV). Be Confident (vv. 1-3) The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life...

    How to Respond to False Doctrine

    Imagine you are reading a post on CF (Not this one, :holy:), and you start reading some strange stuff, stuff that you have never read in the Bible. It may have a nice sound to it, but it just doesn't seem quite right. It might even be "alluring" or looking like an appealing bait, or...
