I'm new here all together. I'm glad I can be myself here. I'm 26 and I've believed since I was around 20 but I didn't look very hard. So that made me have a Lot of misconceptions and wrong opinions about God until a few months ago. A lot of things that would look like coincidence to anyone else happened to me and it made me question everything. So I did everything I could do understand him and get as close to him as best I can. Which is exactly what he wanted. That was 2-4 months ago and now I am really, really born again. Who I was before and who I am now are two different people and I'm grateful to him for it.
I love God/Jesus with everything I'm made of.
My biggest regret is I didn't look sooner. Things would've been so much different. But I'm thankful for what I have now.

Hello my name is David. I have been a Christian all of my life, growing up in a loving Christian home. The past 5 or 6 years I have struggled a bit with my faith, never losing it but questioning it, and the Lord has still lovingly blessed me with a good life, and a family. I really want to be the spiritual leader they need and deserve, and have many questions in my life that I feel can only be answered in a strong relationship with Christ. I am here to deepen my faith.

Hello David,nice to meet you.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

Hi. I am new to the entire site. I have been a christian all my life, but in the last year I have wanted to get closer to God. Though it took almost a year I have finally made the committment and am so happy. I have been doing devotional readings and it is amazing how so many of them are so relevant my day to day life or issues that I am having. I just feel that this was exactly the time that I was meant to get closer to God. I look forward to getting to know everyone

Hello, everyone my name is Camie i live in Oregon USA. A deeper understanding of Christ is really what we all need, its what i'm looking for. We live out our daily lives the best we can but sometimes we lose sight of the most important thing and that's Christ. Through the good and the bad times he's there, even if it doesn't feel like he is.

Hello everyone,
I am fairly new here. Jesus is very real and personal in my life. He is my Savior and without Him, I am nothing. It is my desire to draw closer to Him.

Hello. I am new to the site. One of my reasons for looking for this forum was that I am trying to surround myself with believers and with Christ-positive thoughts and words. I am hoping to find a deeper relationship with Jesus. I thank you all for providing a place where I can say that and still fit in!

Hi Donna and all! Well, I am in MN and am married. I became a Christian in 1977 and was also very zealous!! I was involved in a big minitry here in Mpls. Then in '84 I moved to CA to be near family...then got married to someone in '87 who I met at a church singles group. He seemed very devoted, read the bible everyday and didn't ever want to miss church. Within a couple of yrs time his attitudes of who he really was began to come out. He became (altho I think he always was this way but it didn't show right away) very emotionally, sexually and verbally abusive. By '99 I had gotten to the place of wanting to kill myself so I left...but because he was very charming and everyone thought he was great, no one really believed me and of course an Aunt told me that I should have said something a long time ago...but I didn't because I was trying to submit and trust God and not speak ill of my husband.
Anyway, I ended up with no one and so I moved back here to MN...and have since remarried. Anyyyyway, I have jumped thru so many hoops to try and please God or what I thought was God thru the yrs....then God brought me back to a couple very clear and simple facts, that God IS (agape) love, that He sent His Son and then sent His Holy Spirit into my heart....and that by living these things out on a daily basis was the way to put Him back at the center of my life....so, essentially I learned that to Make Him the center of my life, then I would love what is at the center of His.
So, I began getting up each morning with a different focus. To show love, be a peacemaker, which lead me to be more patient, kind and have more self-control ((and the other fruits as well)) and the big bonus was less problems with the flesh!!...because I found that it was hard to be self-centered when my focus was different...when my focus was outward, towards others, as Christ's was. With this "mind in you that was also in Christ Jesus" I began seeing others differently and noticing the people around me that Christ would notice.
Then God began having me read, not just Gal. 5, Phil. 2:1-11 and 1 Cor. 13, but also 1 John 4...that said that loving was THE sign that I was His...which then confirmed to me that going about the Fathers business, as Christ did, was what was putting my Christian walk back inline again naturally, without striving and jumping thru all kinds of hoops.
Anyway, thank you for reading and allowing me to share....I hope we can pray for one another as well.... and thank you that we are here to share and not here to debate. :^) Very refreshing!

Hi!
I should've clicked my way into this forum upon first registering, as I seek the uplifting nature of His Spirit which is to characterize His Bride. Such a naive motive has kept me at some distance from many things, but drawn to my Lord.
It is with no small amount of Godly sorrow that I make this post here, seeing I've been born-again for nearly 30 years, and was first filled w/ the Holy Ghost over 25 years ago. He moved upon me mightily and also showed me many things of His Glory that are to be revealed in me, yet I have fallen short of His Glory and continue to do so even at this late hour. I will be contributing here at least one timeless teaching He showed to me, that is sorely lacking from the Church today. You can also read the visions G-d gave me in the threads I started in Dreams and Visions.
I also covet your prayers, as I have posted most often in our Outreach section. G-d is breaking barriers, softening hearts, drawing people and opening eyes! Yet this happens through establishing trust in relationships, which is obviously not so easy to do online. I still believe in this old-fashioned thing called ANOINTING, which can take a preacher's words and transform them so the listener hears what she/he needs at that moment. G-d's anointing often falls heavily upon me as my Gift of compassion gets stirred, reading lost soul's horrible misconceptions of our Lord. I NEED this hedge of protection to continue, and also to avail myself of the edification available here. Please also intercede on my behalf, that I perceive His leading clearly so my speech is always seasoned w/ Grace according to His word.
We know His word will not return void but accomplish that for which it was sent! CF has been such a Blessing to me so far ...
Praising Him forever and with much Love,
Ray

Hi everybody! 
I'm a single mom with three teens and would like to share that without Him I would not have made it thus far.
Being a child of God does not mean that life will be smooth. However, in all my hardships and trials He has always been with me and has given me the strength and love I needed for each minute of my life.
I would like to encourage all of you to surrender to Him. Trust Him to take care of you and to guide you. Do not go through life wanting to do it "your way". He wants us to have an amazing life in Him. Let Him work in you to make you the person He has created you to be. The best way to get closer to Him is to daily read your bible and pray at all times. Talk to Him. Share your thoughts, your fears, your frustrations, your happiness, everything. You won't regret it. He is an amazing God.
Blessings to all!

Hello brothers & sisters!
I should have introducted myself on these forumns earlier.
I'm Emma, I am 22, married 1 year and have been through so much in life, as well as I'm really into looking into and getting the most out of life - the way God intends. I am very interested in, and am studying (5 years and going), psychology & ministry and want to work in ministry serving God. I particularly like the areas of relationships (of all kinds), family, and personal relationships with God. I'm very passionate about the church and society - two of Jesus' loves and the two main places we as a body of Christ work together in.
I'm from Darwin, NT (think crocadile dundee/tropical city) but now live in the bustling Sydney. I love that Sydney is bursting with people, and I see the great need of the people here!
My husband, Luke, I dearly love and he works in finance with a kingdom heart and a devotion to God.
We are currently in the process of buying our first home, we have been living on his families property since we were married. We're moving from the cow-laden country to the inner city and are very excited/open to where God's taking us and how we're going to serve Him in a new place in our life.
I also love talking, fellowship, Bible study, theology, & worshiping.
