Maybe you are right~in a way that is scary because you never know what he may be preparing you for!

Our father guides, disciplines and corrects those who are his ,so if your being diciplined, moved or taught that means you are his.
And sister there can be no greater news than that!!!!
Thank you~

I can't tell you what He has for you but Having been in the same situation myself I can suggest some things you might wish to concider.

Maybe you need to pray aloud. so that you can hear a voice when alone with him. (I don't know why but that has helped me as I used to whisper or pray in my heart or siliently before)

Maybe He is telling you that he wants you or that you need to be in a church fellowship.( I suggest that you visit some or go with someone you know to one).
I am trying, Bro. Cliff

Knowing what I do of you from this forum I seriously doubt this is the answer. But I must state it just in case. Is there something or anything that you need to confess??? A sin, a temptation that has caused you to stumble or fall. A weakness that Satan has or is at least trying to take you down with???
( Sin needs confession for the heart of the believer to find peace)
Well, you are on the right track but it is not MY confession.
It is someone else in my life~
Something I cannot let go of.
Something that haunts me, daily.

Maybe our father just wants you to call upon him, or re-evaluate and adjust something in your life. I call upon Him daily. Many times, daily~Or show you who you can and cannot trust.
God always makes all thing for the best of those who love him. Knowing that can asure you that this is only a season and will pass and in the end it will be for your good. Thank you!
It is by the trials and tribulation the sorrow and suffering that we grow in christ. So above all be thankful that you have them.
And from there seek to know and respond to what the father has for you.
I do try!

Be encouraged for the LORD will let you suffer with this no longer than nescesary. And the blessing will be greater than he suffering. For that is the way of the LORD.
Yes, in my heart, I know you are right~

In his love
Cliff
Thank you and God Bless! Kimmie

So your need is normal!
It is not a sign of spiritual weakness.

Praying for you,

Hi there!

I LOVE YOUR POST!!

That being said, let me just say that I have been looking to find someone like that to talk to and someone to trust me in that way and share anything and everything they want for seems like forever! C'mon, one of the sadest things in the Christiandom is the lack of openness and the absence of sincerity! I find that being honest about my self and all my short comings with people gives me true freedom and liberty, however, except for a couple of people here and there, I have never found someone I could confess my deepest fears, insecurities and faults without feeling or being judged! Yes, there is a time to apply wisdom, but we are called to bear one another's burdens for Goodness sake, so what happened??!! When and why have we become such "arm chair" judges of everything and everyone! Self righteousness some times rules more that real righteousness and that's because, if I point out a big light and judge your fault maybe no one will see mine! One time when I was going through a very hard time, struggling with a particular weakness, I made the mistake of confessing it to the wrong person! I hadn't even found out yet that I chose the wrong person when the Lord, on a Sunday morning when I was actually at my sink prepping some duck to make for dinner with those very friends I had confessed to, asked me question: He said: "Laura, do you remember what I did and said when those people were getting ready to stone the woman they had caught in adultery?" I said, sure Lord, I remember! You said: "Let the first of you who is without sin through the first stone!" I thought I had answered perfectly but the Lord continued asking me 3 times. Finally, I said: "Lord, I am obviously missing something here, so please show me what you're wanting me to see!" His answer surprised me more than I can tell you! He said: "I said let he who is without "SIN" through the first stone not let he who is without "THE SIN OF ADULTERY" through the first stone!" He continued: "For Me, ALL sin is the same, so just because you are going through this particular struggle (which had nothing to do with that scripture passage, by the way!), doesn't mean that you are worst off than someone else going through something different!" The point was that we ALL go through things and Jesus put us all here to be the BODY of Christ and help one another, so NO, it's not wrong to want someone in your life to be a safe heaven for you! Actually we all should have someone like that and there are people with that kind of gift! The fact that you and I live so far apart means nothing! I CAN BE AND VOLUNTEER TO BE THAT PERSON FOR YOU! Tell me anything and everything and remember that I've heard and witnessed a lot and especially that I am not even remotely close to perfect, so you're safe! I love you sister!

Laura

don,t worry my friend,the closer you get to good the more evil tries to infultrate you,but the good thing is you know whats going on you are not in the land of nod,you can rebuff evil and you know why it is trying to stop you.just ask for help,be strong in yourself overcome evil.

Just remember sis- no one is perfect. We all stumble at times- God is not in the business of rejecting us. If you had a baby you would not be disapointed if she feel but instead would help her to try again. Look up at Daddy, lift your arms and let Him help you up again!

Thank you all and bless you!

Boanerges · 10-15-2007, 12:32 PM

No Violet Thank you and bless you!

violet · 10-15-2007, 12:45 PM

That is one thing I do, Bro. Larry; lift my arms in praise to Him~
One reason I no longer go to the church I can walk to....they don't believe in that!

Boanerges · 10-15-2007, 12:51 PM

Just remember, even when we cannot see it- God always has a plan!

And his plan is perfect. So many times in my life, I have not understood what was happening to me, but when I looked back in hindsight, I realized that everything was perfect. The pattern and the details fit together beautifully, there is a rythym and a melody to his perfect plan. If anyone on this forum needs a non-judgemental person to talk to, they can pm me. I've been through a lot and I'm only saved by God's amazing grace.
