• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Pray for me.

Pray for me. However undeserving I may be, at this moment in my life I feel as though I really need prayer. Even if it's for humility, because I know there are those much more deserving than I am, as I sit here in my own self pity. I know there are millions starvig, freezing, and dieing, and I have no good reason why I need prayer. Please, don't tell my that I'm worth it, or that some how everyone's problems are equal. Just pray for me. I've been a Christian for a long time now, but I feel as though Satan is pulling especially hard on my soul now, the last thing I want is to drift away from Christ. Please, just pray for me.

Hi onlyzc~ We all go through times when we don't think we're important to God. This is when we have to realize we are saved by faith and not works. We can never be good enough. He loves us just as we are. You're prayers are heard. Jesus loves you and so do I.


I'm praying for you.
Much peace and love
Izzy

Lord,

I lift up onlyzc in prayer to you. Satan is attacking him. Help him realize how worthy is his of your love. Bless him with the knowledge that he is your child for you have spoken his name and know the amount of strands of hair on his head! Raise up his self esteem so he can be more confident in sharing your word and working for you.

:prayer:

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." James4

In Eph6, Paul writes: "We battle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces..." The secret to winning internal battles, is to claim them as ALREADY WON. For they were all won, and the end of your story is already written; you are purchased by His blood, from the Cross. "You are not your own, you are bought with a price". 2Cor6

We are given "authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and NOTHING shall hurt us!" Lk10:17-19. But read verse 20, it's the key. It's a "focus-thing" --- where your thoughts are, there will your heart be.

You feel unworthy of His love? You ARE unworthy. So am I, so is everyone. Izzy said it well --- we are saved by faith, faith IN His love. Do you believe He died for you, JUST you? He did. He loves you with perfect, complete, unconditional love. NOTHING you can do will make Him love you more, for He loves you now, COMPLETELY. He has wonderful plans for you. Jer29:11-14. Jn15:11-14 (are you looking these up? :) )

The answer to your feelings, is "fellowship". Spend time in prayer --- praise and worship, fellowship (He DELIGHTS in your presence!), repentance (He not only forgives your sins, He FORGETS them!); intercession for friends family AND ENEMIES (if not for His grace you would be condemned just as they are!); thanksgiving, and pettition (KNOWING that He WILL meet your needs!). Read Scripture, and spend time on your knees talking with Him.

Someday when you die --- do you think your fellowship with Him will CHANGE? It need not; you can be His, spiritually, NOW, just as much then. When you die, someday --- you will be physically in His presence.

But come into His presence, in your heart, NOW. Walk with Him every minute, your hand in His; He has a plan, let Him lead you. The Holy Spirit speaks in a quiet and gentle voice; yearn for His presence that you will learn how to listen.

God bless you and keep you.

:pray:
