Why are we wasting our time fighting over stupid issues and picking fights and ending fights and keeping fights going and always picking and belittling and being at each others throats when we have one common goal (I assume)
And that is to glorify jesus.. and teach people and heal people and pray for peoples needs and fix their brokeness.. and so on?
Because, we are not in Christ. We are really living out our lives in our own way and masqurading around as if we are true Christians. Christ is glorified in very little that we do, because we do it for our glory. We are dirt and we spew forth our defilement and call it from God. It is no wonder that we can so rearly touch heaven.

I struggle with a few things and am busy to go through theophostic healing http://www.theophostic.com/faq.html to help me to get rid of it.

I have a very poor self image, and cannot handle any rejection. I do feel most of the time ‘not good enough’ which is a lie.

It is very important to me to get rid of these feelings because if anyone say a wrong thing to me it trigger rejection and then I pull back and stay away from important meetings.

Okay for starters altya why the low self image? your beautiful. And secondly why do you let rejection run your life you know its a demon and people ONLY say stupid stuff to me or you or quaffer or whoever because they are lashing out from their OWN rejection.
Lord please give her a tough skin without destroying her big heart and sensitivity.
You are good enough.. why would you feel not good enough?
I just learned how to get free from the spirit of rejection a month or so ago and now Im stronger than ever. You will get there.. just realize its a lying pig whispering in your ear and that your well worth peoples times. And your experiences are just as important and your advice is just as blessed and sound.

Father God, I thank you so much for my sister Alta, she has been such an incouragement and blessing to me.

I thank You God that according to Your word, if You are for us. . .just who can be against us?? The answer to that of course is no one. :clap: Thank You God that no one can come against the work that you have started in Alta. You are faithful to see through to the end the good work that You have started in her. I thank You God that the seed that You have planted in her is even now bearing much fruit and it is good fruit.

I thank You God that as Alta continues to look into Your face and behold Your beauty that she will see in Your eyes how You view her. . .beautiful in spirit and each day being molded more and more into Your image.

AMEN!

It’s about something that happened to me and it’s not a demon.

If a Christian rebukes a demon and there is no difference/change you can know that it’s 'flesh' and not a demon.

I went for deliverance many times in my life and this low self image did not go. This is the reason why I turned to Theophostic healing. I do have very good results with it.

Theophostic works.

It is a process of allowing a person to look at their past, its hurts, its wounds, and begin to see what lie it is that causes them such pain. At that point God comes in and reveils Himself and the truth and the pain and the darkness is removed. And the pain and beliefs that used to cause you to react to certain situations, no longer has any effect on you and you find that you have freedom to choose.

Theophostic stands for God's light.



(But there are still higher ways...)

I guess I've become one of those "lazy" Christians. I'm 57 years old, I used to beat myself up everyday of the week, about what I was, what hasn't been changed yet in my life, trying different applications to change things that I hated about ME. This went on for many years, and it certainly hindered my effectivness in the work of the Gospel, because I was always looking at ME. I'm not good enough, I'm not like my counterparts in the faith, they are better than me, they get healed, I stay sick, what am I doing wrong? I cant do that, on and on.. till I was making myself sick with it. I dropped out of church even, didn't feel worthy of the calling at the time. I guess. I needed help, quickly or I was going down the tubes.

Then it happend to me, a word from the Lord just as plain as someone standing right in front of me speaking.

He said to me, If I tell you with my voice, that I love you and have accepted you just as you are, will you stop hating yourself?

Boy, I melted at once, it seemed like all the fretting over the years that I had done to myself over about 25 yrs was gone, it was like a ton of abuse I had done to myself was lifted off my shoulders.

After that I thought about my life before I was a Christian, and after, and had discovered that there was more changing in my life than I had realized, my thoughts, my motives, my desires, everything inside of me had been basicly changed alot. Not by me, I was too busy trying to do better, but the Lord even in all my fretting, had been changing me all along, with out me realizing it. And He's not finished yet.

praise God :bow: for all the wonderfull things God has done for you. I rejoice in your salvation as I also was saved and know what it means to be deliverd.

I am just a little weary of some of the things you said. let me explain.

It seems to me you are basing a lot of stock in expierence. Tounges, Prophecies conerning yourself, being heeled if you get closer to God.

expierences are good. heelings, and tounges happen as God sees fot to bring them in our lives. As far as prophecies who ever is prophesing needs 100 percent accuracy. I believe there are no prophets today. the Bible is complete and the Holy Spirit is in every believer leading and guideing into truth. sooth saying predictions are all I have ever heard out of these so called prophets.

Anyway my point is this trust Gods word. Peter said " you have a more sure word of prophecy where by you do well to take heed to. Dont trust expierences trust Gods word.

Hi again

mmm no I'm actually not baising anything on my speaking in tongues. The reason tongues is a big deal is because if God haven't completely changed me and my blocked in views of the world and christianity then I would've never prayed in tongues... I would have followed my idea that it was weird and that it cannot be from God.

Then I do know about testing prophecies and all that.. I have done that and couldn't find anything wrong with them. They haven't come all true as yet, but that wasn't the promise of it was it? And I'm not basing anything I do on any of them :) I believe that when the situation arises the Holy Spirit will remind me of those words and then I will know what todo if anything.

Lastly about the healing... well it's actually more complicated than I explained and I'm not gonna go in detail. And If I was only trying to get closer to God to get healed... well then I might as well stop trying. Well anyways as I see it... God did not bring my healing yet because this is not the perfect time and mostly I'm not ready.

Then I believe there are prophets today, like our pastor. We just don't label people "prophet" anymore I guess.

And About trusting experiences.. Well if the experiences confirms God's words then it is to be trusted and of course Gods Word because of that.
Christianity as I believe in it must have a dramatic impact on ones life and because of that one will have experiences. But one should not go out looking for them.

Cheers

Well, now I hear the rest of the story. Why didn't you tell me this in our PM's. I heard about the over-weight, and the wanting to cut yourself, why not the bulimia? If you can't be honest with me, are you being totally honest with God?
The impressions that I got from your posts are...#1. You are putting God on a timetable to heal you, you want it right now. #2. You have given up on God doing this for you. #3 You have no patience. #4. You are so desperate for this, that you take the word of anyone for the solution, instead of relaxing in God, and letting Him do what He has to do. What if He never does it for you lottedah? I am a firm believer in healing, but it is apparent that God doesn't heal everyone in this life. I have found that Christians with problems, actually are stronger in Spirit, even though they never give up on God manifesting their healings.
The bible states that we all will have trials and tribulations in our lives, and TESTS. It is the same thing as the Israelites wondering around in the desert for 40 years. The longer you complain, the longer you will stay in the test, and a person could die while taking the "examination". The only way that I can fathom God healing you, is LET IT GO!!!! Do what He has called you to do in the ministry by helping and praying for others.
I had high blood pressure for over 10 years. I tried every solution that I could think of to get healed. I had hands layed on me. I prayed for myself, confessed the Word, by His stripes I am healed, etc. I was an emotional basket case. One day while listening to a Christian music tape, the Holy Ghost spoke to me, and said to go to my parents house, and lay hands on them and pray. While driving over there, the Lord spoke to me again, and said, what do you want me to do for you? Without even having an answer, He put the answer on the inside of me Himself..I want to be healed of high blood pressure. I have been healed of it for the past 5 years. It is perfect. What I am getting at, you are concentrating on the problems to much. We don't keep looking and dwelling on the problems, but Jesus. Satan likes it where he has you right now, looking at your problems, instead of the problem solver .
I haven't read any later posts but i just wanted to cover this if it was not discussed....
What you jsut said was very innapropriate and uncalled for...Nikki (lottedah) IS GOING TO BE HEALED.

She's not going to sit around like all those other christian who just say, ooh i geuss God doesn't want me to be healed, or, ooh i geuss i'll just have this the rest of my life!!
BAHH THIS ANGERS ME!!

You need to read the prior posts. It was taken care of already, so become unangered in Jesus name!!!! Lottedah and I have come together in the Spirit before, so she knows what I am about in that respect....1st Cor 4:5 ~ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the councils of the heart: and then shall every man have praise of God. Lottedah will understand what I mean by this scripture. Love Ya lottedah!!!!!!
