  • 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

How can I draw closer to God

By placing your faith in God's love - Jesus Christ Himself. When you put faith in God then His grace can come down into your heart and bring you His peace and Rest. God loves you to love Him and your neighbour. When you obey Jesus and you learn to love, then God will come and make His Home in your heart. John 14:23

So place your faith in His love and let His graceful love come down in your heart. The love that comes down from Heaven will help you to love God and neighbour rightly.

Let His love fill you up sister.

Messiah repelled the devil in the desert by simply quoting from Bible verses. If you immerse your mind and your mouth with the word of the Lord, you will be led to closeness with your heavenly father.

One way to do this can be through singing the word. We see in the Bible that praise singing can be a form of spiritual warfare. For example Paul and Silas were miraculously freed from prison when singing praise songs.

When hostile armies were coming against Israel, in overwhelming numbers, King Jehoshaphat sent priests before the hordes to sing praise songs, with the ark. The enemies turned against one another and killed one another and there were three days of booty left for Israelites.

David sang spiritual songs to King Saul to cast out evil spirits that water tormenting the ruler of Israel.

There are tons of scripture only songs on YouTube, some may be more to your taste than others. Jump Start 2 is youthful and peppy.

Sons of Korah is a channel where the Psalms are sung in a very soothing way.

Integrity music has many Bible songs to sing along with. And so on.

I pray you will be freed from your torment and be led to a very close relationship with your heavenly father.

If you are very healthy, a once a week 24 hour water only fast can get great results with prayer. More fasting than that can be harmful to the adrenals, though.

P. S. I guess I should’ve added, to answer probably an unspoken question of yours, namely how do you get faith. The Bible says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of the Lord, namely through the Bible.

With the scripture songs above you are hearing the word over and over, as much as you will listen. You can also get the Bible online and listen to things like Psalms and Proverbs or anything you want.

It is so important that when we listen to the Word, and speak the Word, that we have our hearts engaged. The Bible tells us to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth, so we all have to watch out for being mechanical, and doing things in a rote way at times.

I have personally found that it helps me to visualize along with what I hear and speak. Anything that works for you is fine. For me, for example, when I listen to Psalm 23, and it talks about going through the valley of the shadow of death, I imagine the Lord’s omnipotent rod all glowing in white, flipping off my enemies, while his staff which guides on the right paths I also visualize as glowing and white gently leading me along.

Again, whatever works for you personally, to keep you focused and real.

Praying for you.

The heart of faith previously having no faith that came from outside of ones own heart they were born with is in respect to our new belief system. Faith to believe God not seen is the gift not of our own selves in any way shape or form

If we lean on our own understanding then we have no direction coming from his understanding. Just confusion. We must learn how to hear his understanding as he gives us his faith to make it possible.

Study the word faith ( a work)and how it is used. It is a work of God that works in us to both will or reveal his mind and also empower us to do it if we mix faith the unseen eternal in what we see or hear the temporal .

One good example is found in 1 Samuel 3, with the Samuel in the time period of Judges when he was called to hear and believe God not seen . Three times with three indicating the end of the matter he had to be coached before he was given the faith to believe in the things not seen.

There was no open revelation at that time just as today .God is no longer bringing any new. The church because of the first century reformation was restored to the time period of Judges no fleshly mediator as a infallible teaching master that stood between God not seen and mankind seen.
