  • 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

So, I am member of a forum that is not based on christianity but has a christian sub-forum, there I face a lot of opposition from many people, imagine, I am on a christian sub-forum but they talk about the new age stuff and promote all kinds of lies about God.I do this because I know that there the light of God is weaker becaues there are just two or three people who are for God.I need more courrage, they treat the Word of God as "garbage" and deny everything, they even call me homophobic and liar.It never happened to me to face such harsh words for spreading the Truth... I am quite sensible so... Thank you all and thank you God for standing by my side!

Hi YesMe, it seems that you are almost in the position of "missionary" on the site. You have God's Truth and His Light to shine in "dark places". That, my brother and friend, is a fact, isn't it?

Now under the circumstances it seems that God HIMSELF would need to moooooove there, yes? And He CAN, can HE not? It's HIS mission, more than even YOURS, is it not? If so, what must "we" do, in such circumstances?

We are to pray, my brother, and pray, and pray some more, and CLEAVE to these verses:

"Be still, and know that I am God:" ~Ps 46:10

"In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." ~Isa 30:15

And this HUGELY powerful reminder, dear brother:

"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." ~Jam 5:16

If you are sensing a burden for this site, and the souls there, God may have commissioned you there. Of course that doesn't mean that the enemy, Satan, is happy or gonna sit back. He isn't. He's furious that you are shining the Living God's Light right smack in the middle of that darkness, which is his playground.

Therefore, you've got some spiritual warfare dynamics.

And as the verse above states about effectual and fervent prayers, dive in to them. Pray to God more than you ever have before, and bring in those believers you mentioned to join in prayer with you.

I will be praying as well. Hang in there brother, and remember "WHOSE" battle this is.

Praying!!

I know but I never experienced that kind of hatred... I am well aware of the "dangers" of being christian but I never experienced them this way...

footnote:
someone recently said: Jesus would not have been crucified,
if
He had stayed quiet.

Yet not to do something because of results, but only, always , obey the Father saying His Words and DOing what He Says. The time for everything is in His Control and in His Hands we rest, in sunny days and icy days, in 'good' times and in difficult times.

Something super AMAZING happened while I was reading their comments towards God and me, I was listening christian music and suddenly I could hear a voice talking from the Book of Psalms, when I checked the youtube playlist, it was already started, the entire Book of Psalms is playing in my ears :)

It happened exactly when I felt their hatred... exactly at that moment.

Praise God!

:heart: Awwwwwww God is MINISTERING to you, dear brother, and imbuing you with encouragement and courage, and being the Lifter of your head.

The hatred you speak of is straight from the enemy, himself. Be encouraged. He has to go THROUGH God to get to you. He just doesn't want YOU to remember that. Praying for you and the site, dear brother. Hang in there, and remember "WHOSE" battle this is. (((hug)))

People are much more confident to be hateful online, so websites draw an extra amount of haters. I pray you'll have good patience. I know I don't have much patience for debates with those types of non-christians.

Hi YesMe,

I came across your question. I am encouraged by your works. You have an interesting ministry that it's, sort of like, an Unsung hero - closed to the works of so many Prayer Ministry people dedicated to intercede with The Lord God.

Immediately I searched Scripture verses that came to my mind, which, I also found a web article with the verse among other encouraging words. This is the ministry you are engaging:
1 Cor. 9:19-23.
Web Article: Becoming All Things to All Men to Save Some
From article:
"Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32) Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God; [in other words, adapt as much as you can in non-sinful ways] 33) just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved. [That's the same as 9:22, "I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some." Then comes the answer to our question, in 11:1.] Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.".

Keep moving forward my Brother/Sister. Look to Jesus - because, He experienced it All! And what you are experiencing, you need counseling from The Holy Spirit to daily, weekly, strengthen and encourage you. Perhaps, don't focus too much on the negative responses from the ignorant or fools - remember, The Bible mentions this about them in Proverbs and Psalm. Continue battling (racing to the reward that is Jesus) and finding new ways to win these people to God. Remember, you and I are only messengers and a walking testimony (an open card) to the world - even Christians - The Holy Spirit takes care of the rest. Don't mind yourself to what your ears hear or eyes see by responses of these individuals - remember, they are blinded. And you are an open instrument in YAHWEH's hands by Jesus' favor and The power of The Holy Ghost! So, keep working behind the scenes and dedicate to constant prayer time with The Lord. Even if, it takes a two minute prayer session. All God wants from you and I is a heart of worship and to include Him in our lives. Give your ministry work and all that entails to God in your prayers and seek forward to the goal line :) You're doing a great job for God!

Don't dismay. Continue recognizing that you're entering part of an evil core environment where evil-spirits dwell and crave to deceive and keep the deception spreading. Perhaps, too, in your line of ministry work, you need a lot more fasting time and deepen study in God's Word.
This is where Paul's witness of christian walk (as other disciples and Christ followers) pays off to live in God's ministry world.


God's love and peace follow you and keep you in all.
