• 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.

First we must accept the gospel as TRUTH
Then we must accept JESUS CHRIST into our hearts as LORD[spirit is heart]
THEN we can fast 3 days water only and be free of every yoke or bondage!
After being born again,We should hear HIM PERFECTLY!
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:





Isa 58:6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Isa 58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward.
Isa 58:9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Isa 58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
Isa 58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

GOD LOVES HIS CHILDERN! HE HAS DECLARED THEM?
OVERCOMERS AND MORE THAN CONQUERORS!

Hi, appreciate what you write.

I'm glad this has helped you, but just want you to know it is not how it works for all.

Many here are Christian and do know the truth are are born again, and have many struggles. We will always struggle our whole lives.

Blessings,
tapero

This is All i am saying?
I believe the bible over myself and others!

Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

listen in the LORD is the key to having far less problems.

Act 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

It is all in how we look at trouble?
Some sing and rejoice!
Other moan and groan!

I am just asking you to consider that there is good reason to moan and groan at times, and we are entitled to do such.

There are illnesses that need be treated with medication and compassion and care. Further there are conditions not considered medical where much suffering occurs due to such.

Not everything is of a spiritual source or problem.

So, I'm just posting in the hopes that you might recognize this to be so, if you wish.

Do you think someone who had their child die is going to praise and rejoice? There are many struggles that go on, if you note, in which we don't praise and rejoice.

We can praise God, but some can't when they are in the valley, God loves them very much, knows their hearts, and this is what I'm speaking to.

Some don't want to because of what they are going through or feeling, and by mouthing the words does nothing, but by going though struggles we will come out the other side as God says we have the victory.

God knows every mans heart.

Please read the book of Job to see what suffering does to a person and how that person questions God, Job was a believer just as we are. Note that Job does not jump up and down and praise God or rejoice in his sufferings. Yet he never denies God, some do deny God, and that's okay, they will come back.. Again, God knows their heart.

There is no magic formula, no matter what goes on; and the best we have is to hold on tightly to God, who never lets us go, but we can hold on to God, but some can't, and it's okay, cause God is carrying them.

Blessings,
tapero

I have suffered lots.
At the time,much was bad.But later i saw how it blessed me!
I know death well and sickness well.
I know the feeling of all is lost!
And the feeling of losing your loved ones.I know the feeling of bring one back from the dead .And healing others in HIS MIGHTY NAME.
Casting out demons.
Suffer at the time is not joy!After it could be great joy?
I feel for others .I always want to bless others .Even over my self ,most of the time
It depends on the suffering and the knowledge of truth and understanding the person has
Also ,GODS perfect or permisive will ,that is involed in this suffering?
Everyone on the earth has trouble at times!
We just all handle it differently?

true, we all handle stress differently.

but for anyone to thing they are more spiritual than another, is what I am trying to say is not accurate, not that you are saying this. if you note the only reason I'm posting here is so that posters won't think that they are suffering because of a lack of spirituality, because that is not why we suffer nor is it truth at all.

We suffer cause God says we will suffer much in this world as we are Christians and also because of the sin in the world, our own as well as others which will always be until the day we die.
