• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Well I'v just made a decision to read God's Word and ignore all the noise as best I can because I will atleast know that I am doing the best I can. And will no longer fill like since I've backslid I'm in trouble. Now all I need is to get that courage to wtness to all who need Christ. It has almost been a full year since I've really studied God's Word and I think getting that in me is the best medicine for what we go thru... I'm no longer going to look at the past at my failures but instead go forward and press on I love you guys thank you for all the support and may God still bless you as He's done with Me....

As long as you have made the decision to study the bible, here is a suggestion.

Topic Technique (To be Used Individually)

1. In this Bible study technique you choose a topic--not a random topic but a topic that you feel the you need further revelation of.
Examples of Topics:
High Calling, Boldness ,Fruitfullness, Sanctification,
Love, Compassion ,Spiritual Gifts ,Worship,
Praise, Deliverance ,Healing ,Wisdom,
Humility, Discipleship ,Growth, Restoration,

2.
Pick out several books to study in the New Testament.

3.
Develop a consciousness of the topic by meditation on it and by arousing some eager expectation of revelation to come.

4. As you focus on the topic begin reading the scripture.
Write out the passages that have to do with the topic and ask the Holy Spirit for a deeper understanding.

5. At the end of the study session
write a list of affirmations that affirm the written out scriptures and carry them with you throughout the day to say out loud and meditate on.

6.
Share any revelation you have received with others in the body of Christ.

Yep, studing the true meaning of Jesus's Teaching's when you put into context and see the time line and what he was trying to say. But ya, been filling up on that for a while now and I don't plan on giving up either. For some reason it's different this time like Faith without works is dead Faith so I must prove to God that when the light shines thru me there will be no cracks in this vessel. But a SINCERE vessel of the Lord ....

Try not to get ahead of yourself sweetie! I've been there time and time and time and time again ( you get the pic).. I mean, it's great to have that goal, but if you are anything like me... I'd get an ambition but get ahead of God and lack the grace to be consistant in it according to my standards then become really discouraged and condemend... I've had to learn how to calm my heart down and wait on God's grace though some days I was ready to conquer the world, but I had to wait for my own sake so I wouldn't feel like such a failure when I took on much more then I was ready for.

Praise God !! for this revelation about ignoring the noise! That's a big step in deliverance of OCD! God, please help this man have your peace, grace/ability as he steps out in faith and walks in faith. Lead and guide him and give him the courage to walk in his faith and be free and happy like never before!

Amen:amen:
