  • 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.

Would like some prayer for me and my bf's relationship.

We've weathered a lot - getting to know how each other work, the 'hangups' we have, learning to accept each other warts and all - so far it's been really great.

Right now, sorta feel we're getting attacked spiritually. We've been discussing a lot of spiritual stuff lately, and I just feel that satan is trying to get to us over it - certain things have happened to halt conversations going down this path, and I have this continual 'blah' feeling about discussing stuff that needs to be discussed. I can feel both of us shutting down somewhat, and it feels very demonic.

Prayer that we both get out of this 'funk' that seems to have settled and for a hedge of protection around both of us would be great - thanks.

We've been going REALLY well lately, and I think this could be start of some spiritual attacks to stop that from happening.

Ta!

Dear Lord,


Thank you for taking Sascha and her boyfriend this far. Please help them now in their current struggles. Claim victory over them and their lives. Give them the power and desire to rebuke and spirit that tries to derail them in a closer relationship with you. Thank you God, that they are seeking a closer relationship with you! What a blessing!

:amen:

Amen.

My prayers go out to you and your boyfriend, don't give up, you both need to keep yor relationship with God going, the closer you try to get to God, the devil get's angry and will try to break you, do not let him win. The more you worship and pray, the devil will get tired and give up continue to pray together and keep God in your relationship always, I pray that you both have a breakthrough, in Jesus name amen

ITF,

It's pretty much all external - as in, something will start getting discussed, and we'll be making REALLY good headway in it, but then an external distraction like a phone call and being called away happens, or I'll start feeling really defensive all of a sudden, and getting upset, when he hasn't done or said anything to warrant it. Or we'll be discussing stuff, and it feels like BOTH of us shut down, and we don't have any reasons for it - the stuff we're talking about is usually pretty 'benign' spiritual stuff, not stuff that's been tough spots for us.

Yeah, just the regularity of it, and both of us noticing that it's being halted, and neither of us are wanting it to be... We WANT to talk about this stuff - no point in avoidance or assuming, when we're heading towards marriage, right? Both of us have been pretty forward in discussing our beliefs and behaviours, and seeing how we match up, that this has kinda surprised both of us. The flesh and the spirit are willing, but it just doesn't seem to happen as smoothly as other discussions have...
