  • 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.

Please Help!

I'm called Jane, and really need some prayer from you guys, I'm a spirit filled Christian and was baptised 9 weeks ago, also being healed of cancer at the same time:amen: I have undergone many things since though, my family can't understand the change in me and are treating me badly, although my carer/exhusband now is only coming at weekends to see the kids. Because i've been high in the spirit with the healing of cancer God gave me, my doctors have doubled other Medication as I suffer manic depression and they think i'm really ill mentally because I've told them the truth that this miracle was from God, even though they cannot come up with an explanation of how the cancer has gone.:cry: The other problem is I know I need to stop smoking to walk with God properly, but my mind wants to stop, but my fear of stopping is awful, I've tried many times, but not succeeded. I got so worked up about it today at our meeting, I felt Lee our pastor was getting at me, and accused him of blackmail, because the way he said it made me feel I stop smoking now or I can't go to the meetings. I feel so hurt now, guilty and don't know what to do. I've many things to sort out to Walk with God properly, but to me smoking isn't the most immediate thing I should do.

Please pray that God will make me stop now, and wether I should continue going to the meetings. As everone seems to be having a go at me, wether its at home, at work and now in my fellowship. I hope you will pray as I need all the help I can get.

Jane

I agree the smoking is not good for you...but it may not be the first thing on the Lord's "to do" list. Something wonderful has happened to you and it could be Satan is trying to rob the miracle.

I do pray for the Lord's peace and protection to fall on you...keeping you on a steady path...leading you into the truth, day by day...one step at a time...there is no hurry.

Doesn't smoking help cause cancer?

Didn't the Lord heal you of the cancer?

Yes -- I will pray that you get all the help you need to stop. :) :)
The other problem is I know I need to stop smoking to walk with God properly, but my mind wants to stop, but my fear of stopping is awful, I've tried many times, but not succeeded.
Sounds like Paul, in Romans 7. You aren't alone.

:prayer: I pray that God watch over and give you to strength to perserve and flourish in these trials that you are enduring. May he also grant your family and your doctors understanding of your newfound faith. I also ask that God grant understanding to your pastor, that smoking is an addiction that takes time and perserverance to quit, and it is not the most important thing in the world. May your pastor's heart be opened so that he can realize that God loves us for who we are, not who we are supposed to be.

God Bless,
Ceris

Lord, I praise for the healing you have blessed on Jane. This is a good testimonial for her family to accept You as their saviour. Many praises to You, my Lord. I pray You will continue to bless and heal her. Give her all the wisdom she need to display the changes in her and to help her to face her daily life. Guide her in all ways You can. In Your name, I pray. Amen.

Father, I pray for Jane, that You'll give her the strength to stop smoking. I pray for continued healing in her life, and I ask that You open the eyes of the doctors & those around her, that they'll understand that Jane's healing came from You.Praise God for His healing touch! :clap:

Hi Jane,

I find that the closer I become to God, the more attacks I face. The last thing Satan wants us to do is be close to God!! Maybe you should try just to deal with one problem at a time. You may have too much on the go right now, you may be exhausting yourself! Don't let your inadequacies get you down, God doesn't expect perfection!!! Work on what you can, pray, pray and pray some more!!

Hugs and Blessings!!:hug:

Jane, I am joining with the others here to pray for you and your situation. Often when we are looking all around us at all that is going on...we forget to look at God and remember who He Is. He is bigger than anything you are facing. Rest in His Mighty Arms. He is your Protector. I'm praying now!! :bow:
