  • 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.

How to get more deliverance?

MY DEAR SISTER,

EVERYTHING YOU NEED--ESPECIALLY HEALING FROM THE TRAUMAS OF THE PAST--IS AVAILABLE IN AND THROUGH JESUS.

Have you found a Church Home yet that can guide, support, and nurture you as you progress in an every closer relationship with our Lord God and Savior?
If not, please consider finding one as quickly as possible.

If so, have you talked to the Pastor/Priest/Elder about your needs and issues and the best way of dealing with them? You have been through a lot and you need a lot of Loving support to come fully out into the light of Christ.
If you haven't, please consider doing so as quickly as possible.

I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS IF YOU WISH.

A BOND-SLAVE OF CHRIST,
ephraim

Not to belittle what you've been through, but the tough part about being abused I think is realizing that everyone else is also at some lower, less emotional (or maybe more common) level, in the same boat.

Me, I'm constantly feeling the push, "I need to wake up more to my real situation before God." And God grants that request -- but only as much as He knows I can handle. Coming through that experience, I also feel that detachment from Him: again, I can't say what you're feeling, but it's always there, no matter how close I get to Him.

It's not a reason to quit trying -- I hope it'll be an encouragement to you, keep growing nearer to God. I've found I never get too much of Him, but it seems to me I'm always reaching the point where I need more.

MY FRIENDS IN CHRIST,

If you ever get to the point where you DON'T feel like you need more of God--BEWARE! That craving for increasing closeness to God is a very positive sign of Spiritual process--and will go on and on through all Eternity. Should the craving stop, it means that sin of some kind has intervened and you need to act quickly--through identifying the sin, repenting, and forsaking the sin--to get yourself back into the upward flow.

Soooooo . . . your desires are a GOOD SIGN and should be a source of comfort to you! MAY YOU BE BLESSED THAT THEY CONTINUE ETERNALLY!

A BOND-SLAVE OF CHRIST,
ephraim

restore,

hello friend,
you dont need another deeply moving emotional tramatic experience to shake you lose from the feelings that already bind you...you dont need any kind of super restoration.
Pray to God and hell help you, im just saying don't desire the kind of restoration that many people are addicted to these days, just a big emotional event that is strong enough to temporarily cloud and overlaod their mind so that the feelings they are trying to run away from seem to be gone. Its like getting high, it clouds your mind...but nothing is really changed.
thats not the way...
you really wont get any kind of super miracle to fix all this for you quickly, it took years of doing and feeling the same things for you get where you are, and it will take time forcing yourself to be diffrent for you to begin to see change.

your going to just have to start being more self aware, take control of yourself, know what it is going on in your mind and make sure you are ok with it... if not, calm down and begin to discipline yourself to be diffrent.
its just deep rooted emotions, habtits, things that wont go away easily... it will take alot of focus and patience on your part, but you can control your mind and teach it to not be so random and reckless with its thoughts.
the more you do something, the more it will form as a habit.

begin to take control of your thoughts and emotions, and if they are foolishness, calm down, and control yourself. begin to try to be aware of whats going on inside you so that you decide what goes on and not just feelings and thoughts that youve ALWAYS thought.
it takes time and patience and alot of mental strength and discipline and focus, but you can doit. you can retrain yourself how and what to think and how to feel. by making steps to change those things you now have.
you dont need any crazy event.

pray for God to help you control your own innerself and your mind, becuase you can, but its up to you to doit.

I find the most difficult thing for me is, i do not know how to accept and love myself.......i was brought up by v strict training and abuse...and still in abuse situation...and i finally believe i need to always hurry up doing sth.and i even hate myself a bit.

I need to learn how to breathe life inside....how to re-affirm myself .
how to totally change the old head ,old depressed lifestyle....

i m progressing, but so slow.

well...i hope you can get out of that situation and soon.

well im sure as you look back you can see progress youve made, thats always good to remind you not to give up, that you are making progress.
keep telling yourself that you are a good person, a worthwhile person and try to stay away from situations that make you feel diffrent. Finds that you enjoy doing and do them, they make you feel good and happy and that leads toward you feeling better about yourself.
its a struggle inside, but you have to keep believing in yourself and pushing on for yourself.
even if your not doing very well at it, its still exercising that part of you. depression isn't something to go back to, so dont give up.
take heart, you can do it! :D

Hey Restore....

God loves you.
Think on His forgiveness.
He forgave you....
and He is calling you to forgive those in your past.

Gosh. How do I do that?
You can't.
God can.
With the Power of God, you can do it.
Only with his help.

Healing can't take place until there is forgiveness.
If it is your desire to forgive....
then ask God to help you.

God is so amazing....
and He will help you.

Don't worry about trying to figure it all out.
You were wronged...
and you were hurt.
That's all you need to understand.

This world is fallen.

Yeah... we can love AND forgive those who have hurt us.
Jesus forgave you ....
The God who created the Universe forgave YOU.
YOU can forgive a person.

Go for it, my friend.
Jesus works ! :thumbsup:

We tend to let the world or our family give us our self worth.

God created you...in His image.
He loves you.
You are dear to Him.
You matter to Him.
He has a plan for your life...
He knows what is best for you.
He is God.
This is huge.
