  • 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.

Invite Jesus in literally!

I was going to write; ‘I may be insane’

But I just felt Him say ‘you aren’t insane I am here’ (with a giggle)

All the times I have heard invite Jesus into your life it seemed more like a noun not a verb. I would walk through my rushed day and when a problem arose (like every hour) I would say Jesus; ‘please come’ and then go about my business in distress often like; ‘ah if He could just answer me or even let me know He hears me’

But right now listening to a Newsboys song called ‘I am free’ as I have 100 times before I cried (literally) ‘Jesus come inside me please’ in desperation.

In an instant crying turned to laughter as the voice of my friend and Saviour was heard; ‘here I am’.
Like He had never been any other place but right here the whole time. I could picture myself laying there with Him explaining to my spirit and hostile mind that ‘Our’ Father is awesome isn’t He!
I had a million imagery thoughts at once about The Awesomeness of God

Than just as I began to feel how unworthy I am and the negative stuff about to flood the moment away, I felt Him take my concentration again and saying;
‘It’s ‘Our’ Father who will make a fool out of there wise men you know’ (with a giggle even)
I was laughing for the first time in years and imagining Jesus here with me on my bed making my burdens light and enjoying His Father, Our Father and my Father with me!
My attention stayed in the moment as I had thoughts of; ‘a Baby will be there king (Jesus)’
And
‘A mosquito has the power to destroy millions of people’
And
‘A donkey carried the King of Heaven & Earth’

They were all thoughts at showing how my perception of my own weaknesses and insignificance are quite funny in comparison to the ‘seemingly’ insignificance things God has used in History.

I haven’t had an encounter with our Lord like this since I was a teenager and I could put it down to ‘insanity’ but I am going to put it down as a testimony- with FAITH

I used the word "incounters" because there are more than one. This all started 4 years and some odd months ago, I got sick.

I was diagnosed with skitzophrenia. I heard voices all the time in my head,
to the point where it was all most unbareble. By the end of the day, my mind was exausted. Thats one of the reasons why I looked forward to night, so i could sleep, until one morning:

I was a sleep, and this aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh sound, it was perfect. I felt someone was sitting next to me in bed and I realized at the same time...that, that aaaaaaaaaahhhhh sound were angels and the person sitting next to me, was Jesus himself. He was pulling all this stuff out of my mind. I think he was there to heal me compleatly from the demon schitzophrenia...but I got distracted and he left..it was the devil who distracted me. Oh I hate that stupid thing.

Jesus gave me a hug

This happend because of faith and prayer. I swear it didnt take lots of prayer. I told Jesus one day that I wanted a hug. Things wernt going so great with me, during that time. I still had the voices and everything. I went to church and they had an alter call. For people who were in pain and hurting. Well, I had been suffering because of this demon in me. Anyway as i was going to the alter, Paster Randy said "Jesus is right over here" And I think I was the first one to walk over to where he said Jesus was. And all of a sudden I felt Jesus put his arms around me...he put his head over mine and just hugged me. If I didn't move I don't think he ever would have left.
God Bless You,
Katy
