• 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.

I meant it in a different sense.

A martyr in spirit. But not someone who dies for their beliefs, necessarily.
I would say, then, a Spiritual Witness. One who exhalts and magnifies our Lord above all else.

One of the trials I will put myself through is dedicating 4 hours a day to Bible study.

I might change it to 7 in the future, though.
You are exceptional. Not many of us have the will or the time. Any idea what page 1 will look like when you complete your study in 20 days?

I like reading the Bible starting with Genesis, and ending with Revelation. With no skipping around the pages.
There is a ton of information there. With the Holy Spirit as your Guide, I'm confident you will be blessed many times as you read. Offer short prayers, as well.

I'd be honest about something regarding my faith, but no one would believe me. It's...

I have been Christian for 3 weeks, and I have talked in the Spirit, possibly spoke in tongues, and rebuked demons. All in God's name.

There is a girl on here that can confirm my story.

I still struggle sometimes, but I always spring back.

A pretty steady 3 weeks. But I got to be honest. I have spirit-gifts now that will Freak. You. Out. I use them for good, and weigh them with the Bible. They are from Him.

Congratulations, my friend. That sounds very promising.

I'm just dieing for some people to talk to, who are not afraid, people to pass the time. Because this spiritual journey is tough.

Here for you any time you want or need. Just send me a conversation, and I'll keep you company if you need an ear.

Btw, if "doing God's will for a change" had anything to do with speaking out, you might wanna check out a similar subject I was discussing with a young Romanian believer. Might be of use to you (see my 2nd post especially):

What to do when someone has a different opinion?

Tongues are a sign of His spirit :) you're going in the right direction.

I should note that this thread was posted before I was delivered. What this means is that while 90% of the powers I spoke of at the time were from God, 10% may or may not have been from the devil.

I have to be honest.

I will sign off now, say a special prayer for you, and enter my evening Bible study. Thanks for the exchange.
(BTW, that's a great avatar!)

Sorry for being the pink elephant in the room but Winken, I love your profile picture! It brings joy to my heart!
