  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A Foothold.

Like a tick on our back that we don't feel or see, Satan has footholds that you may not know about, which are slowly driving you insane. I just took a mirror and spotted that tick by accident, and I need prayer that it may simply fall off, or maybe there's a way to get rid of it, see, 'cause I can't reach it.

Here is Satan's foothold in my life: Worry. Satan takes everything in my life, and causes worry. It's my fault for letting it get to me, but I need more strength to overcome this. See, I have a sense of humor. Well, that seems simple, and my sense of humor is automatic, I don't have to try in order to be funny, but often I find myself worrying it'll go away if I don't try. So I try to make a joke out of everything, and succeed often, yet never am I satisfied, always worried if one thing goes wrong. When Amanda was here with me, I didn't try to be funny, I didn't try to be serious, I just said and did what came to me, and she said she loved me more in person than even on the phone (where I've often tried to be funny, instead of letting it come). So I know I'm naturally funny, and naturally the person she loves, yet I still try to be funny... why? Please pray that I no longer worry about this, but simply be who I am, and have my sense of humor without trying, since I know I don't have to try. :thumbsup: Please, this is a huge step in coming closer to Him.

Godly Evening Again My Christian Friend,

You are doing so well since my last post to you! I am proud of you. satan is the devil that tries to rob you of your Godly Strength (Read: Isiah 40: 27-31) satan knows that you are getting closer to the Lord and he is trying to rob you of ENJOYING life. Rebuke satan and he will flee.

We must let the Lord handle or worries and cares. The mighty Lord is already watching everything that we worry about (1 Peter 5:7)

Scriptures given to me by the Lord for you to read:

Joshua 1:9

Psalm 127: 1-2

Psalm 34:4

Luke 12:22-34

I Corinthians 10:13

James 1:2-5

My prayers and blessings are with you my friend : )

Lord please be with our brother in Christ and help him to lean on you for support and guidance as well as to get rid of Satan out of his life and not hold him down. Help him to cleanse his body, soul, and mind with a pure clean heart and soul and be with him to bless him in thy will and name, amen.

Antari, 1 Peter 5:7 is for you. Cast all your worries on him for he cares for you. So give it all up to God, and trust in him. Your worry most likely won't go away over night, but keep on trying, and giving it all up to God, and you will change. God will use you, and you will be better than ever before. Something else to think about is that you only need to be concerned about what God thinks of you. No matter how funny you are, he is going to love you more than anyone ever can, so just keep that in mind next time you are worried about how funny you are.

Lord, i pray that you would aid Antria in getting rid of his worry. Lord, that he would be able to cast it all upon you, and be comforted because he knows that you care for him and no matter how funny he is, you are going to love him. Lord, i pray that you would give him the strength to break free of this foothole that Satan has on his life, that he may overcome this obstacle and become the man that you want him to become. In Jesus' name, amen

Hi Antari,

Im Jane(Im-revived), You are very much like me with your worry, I worry when anything is happenig, I worry about the next day, I worry about the following year as well as what has already gone, I even worry like you wether Im doing the right thing when im walking from day to day with the Lord. Its like an obsession to me!
When I decide to think, well, why am I worrying, I've come up with the following thought. The word 'WORRY' contains 5 letters, and the letters in 'My Lord Jesus Christ' contains 17, so which is bigger, my guess would be 'My Lord Jesus Christ'.
Which is also true in our lives. 'The Lord Jesus Christ' more than doubles the letters in 'Worry'.
So, to make what ive said in a more basic ways 'The Lord Jesus Christ' totally covers the word 'Worry' up. Meaning if we ask the 'Lord Jesus Christ' to remove the 'Worry' he can do easily.
What we need to do at these times is ask him by prayer to remove the worry, not just cover it up but remove it completely, the Lord says if we ask when the time is right we will recieve.
Antari although that may have sounded confusing, don't despair with worry the Lord will already have started to remove it, but you need Faith to believe it. Pray more everyday about your worry, talk to one of your church leaders ask them to pray with you, talk to your girlfriend about it. As i say I have the same problem, but with me also it hasn't gone straight away, but I think on what Ive said to you and have found my worry isnt half as bad if I look how big God is! May your prayers be answered.:prayer:
I'm revived

Such sensible words of encouragement, Ginga! Worry can devistate us and drain us of our ability to enjoy life even when everything is going right. And what a great idea you have about overcoming worry, Im-revived! How true it is, Jesus is just bigger than any problems we have.

Antari,
Humor lightens our load...think about how much you add to a person's life the next time you make them laugh. You lift their spirits and just make their day a little better than maybe it was a moment before. You are a blessing to others! Your humor is a part of you, sure you have other parts you may not have discovered yet, but don't discount a gift you have to make people happy. It is needed so badly in this world! Here is the end result of your gift:

Proverbs 15:13 "A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance"...

Instead of regretting your gift, thank the Lord for it and use it.

:groupray:Heavenly Father, I stand with Ginga in prayer for Antari. Help Antari find the problems behind his worry and then show him the way to overcome them. Give him confidence in you and himself, help him to learn to like himself for who he is and not worry about what others are thinking.

In Jesus' name, Amen
