Going off meds is something that I am doing very prayerfully as I believe that it is Gods will for me at this time. I am already feeling better, more personality and desires to be myself. I have completely dealt with the abortion and forgive myself I never had any chemical problems before this happened and feel that when things are hard that it is best to just go to Jesus and pray. His strength and His Spirit give me peace and He is my helper. Something that I never knew when I originally went on the med but now that I know Jesus He is telling me to trust Him as he heals me and renews my life. Thankyou for your prayers.

thankyou elkie I appreciate that

Before I was a Christian I was in a similar spiritual pradicament to those you are describing. I would pray that they would have a revelation of the true identity of the demons (that they are not kind friends etc). It is possibly something they have found comfort in for many years and a very poor substitute for the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Pray that their eyes and ears would be open to recieving the true revelation of God and that they would come into repentance of their ways. It would be good to seek, prayful support to agree with prayer before meeting with these people so that you are always protected by the Blood of Jesus. Most of all I would be asking the Lords advice to make sure this is a ministry that he wants you in so with His peace you may go boldly to do his will and bring these young people into Gods Kingdom. Thank God for people like you to be a light in the darkness.

I am putting this out there because I need to get it off my chest and am interested in a Christian perspective. I have been on anti-depressants for over 10 years. I turn 36 soon and I feel that my life is passing me by and I am numb to emotions and feelings and find it very hard to open up to people or relate to them. I started taking them many years ago before I became a Christian because I was very ill and pressured into having an abortion. Afterwards, I felt like a murderer and could not bear the grief so I went on them. The depression was in remission after being a born-again Christian for several years but since I was in a car pile up it has been worse. The point is that since I have been taking medication I have been a zombie emotionally and have not done any painting. My painting and art before I took medication was brilliant and people were in awe. Since I am on medication I have no artistic desires or desires to pursue friendships, realtionships. It seems to me that the very act of taking medication removes the very desires to do the things necessary to have control of my life, have satisfaction and therefore any level of joy. I have decided to stop traking the medication slowly ween myself off it. I want to wake from this dream state of misery and be me again. Spare a prayer for me.

This is such a beautiful film about the life of St Francis of Assisi. It is a really special film and I feel that people would be truely blessed to watch it. Does anyone else recommend any films that can inspire the Christian faith. Film is such a powerful tool to speak to us and I love watching movies that are an inspiration like this one.

I don't have a problem paying mean people I have done so before but if someone raises their voice and is abusive to me I cannot think straight and feel threatened and have a panic attack since I have PTSD. I was not rude to them I was simply surprised that I had a completely different colour to the one I asked for and wanted to see what I or they could do (have had to work things out with hairdressers many times before as they often get it wrong but are willing to work with me to get a reasonable result),but they immiediately became agressive vocally and I had to get out of my chair . I think there has to be a place where you draw the line, people cannot walk all over you and be completely abusive and rude and expect me to smile and be polite in return, I will not condone their behaviour towards me as they made it impossible for me to be there. I was extremely clear at the beginning as to what I was wanting and if they were not capable of giving what I asked should have said so not just do any old job and expect me to not comment.

I am writing this to hear what advice people have as I am upset. I went to a hairdresser and what they did was completely different to what I asked and looked terrible. It looked shocking!! I was in shock and upset but then this totally mean person that owned the salon came over to me and was verbally very rude to me. I felt very threatened by her. I couldn't stand it and walked out without paying. Is this wrong when they were so rude and abusive and weren't willing to talk to me clearly about choices I could make with my hair to get the results that I was wanting. I just had to get away from those awful people and their yelling but they came after me and I threw papers at them. But then they grabbed me and I screamed at them. It was absolutley shocking. If people are rude and abusive to me I yell and scream I can't stand them (I would not harm them) but I yell and throw things that wouldn't cause physical harm just light things in their direction. This is me confessing

Hi Shanbop, yes I agree with what you have said and am glad that you have raised this issue because I see it as a very serious one. In a nutshell if people are not willing to be a blessing to others they seriously don't belong on a Christian site especially when there are secular sites that offer so much care, compassion and consideration for others. It is essential that people can have a place where they feel it is safe to share without being attacked and be ministered to so they can have some fellowship and turn closer to God, otherwise they may end up on other sites etc for some company, advice etc that is well meaning but not of a Christian basis. We have an opportunity to be a light in the darkness and should therefore shine lighter.

By the way Jeff I love your website, it looks fantastic. I'll pray that the awesome talents you have will bring lots of work and income doing what you love.

It is impossible for the Word Of God to plaguarise anything. It is Gods Word,Truth. It is only Satan who is the deciever and makes second rate versions of the truth.

Dear Daughter of the King. The name that you use on this site is special because you are the Daughter of the Most High God and no human parents love could compare. I pray you will know more of the Love of your heavenly Father. It is not easy to deal with parents when you feel they don't love you and this can be painful. Jesus understands so much and be in his arms so His Love can nurture your soul. Forgive your parents for when they did not fulfill what you deserved as a loving peaceful environment, but these parents most likely have done the best they can and never presume that these problems were because of you, an innocent bystander. I can understand the way a person can feel isolated from the Love of a parent. God can restore this and bring restoration. I am here if you ever feel like someone to talk to.

I am writing this as I understand a lot of the anguish you must be facing. Being treated as you have been at work, I have also had similar experiences by yucky people who are most likely just jealous of you and the best I think you can do is forgive them and pray for them. Keep your heart for God. It is so hard when you are highly intelligent and creative and have to work among those such as you describe. I have had times like that and all I can say is that it was one night as I walked and prayed aloud and felt that I totally could take no more. I had quit my 2nd or 3rd job and was alone with noone to turn to. I knew there was no back-up plan left in my mind and I had to totally give everything to Him. I Completely forgave God and made peace with Him for all the things that had happened which were beyond my understanding. The next day I found a job that I could do from home and not be around the awful people. It is a stepping stone to bring in money so that I can be on a path to doing my art full-time. I am just trying to say that when I finally gave everything to God and made peace with Him he could then open the doors for me and Bless me because I had finally stopped trying to control my life and let him control things for a change. I pray each day that God will help me to deal with bitterness as with Faith and prayer I forgive those who have sinned against me and God can heal the pain those have caused against you. Write to me as much as you like because I really care for what you have had to endure and my prayers be with you. Remember this season will pass. God will make a way.

Sometimes the sin of those around us can be that grosse it can be hard to see past the sin. Pray to God that He will let you see the person the way he does and for him to give you the strength and grace to minister to these girls. I have friends (more aquaintances) who are gay they need a lot of prayer, to be convicted that what they are doing is not Gods way.

Dear Catsmeow, thank God that He has given you this revelation, I have done a great deal of research on the verichip and the evil marketing strategies behind it. The book of revelation is such a blessing to warn us of things that are coming to pass faster than we can speak and being forwarned by the word of God and His Spirit is vital. We can only try to warn others. As Christians it is very important to stay alert of the deceptions of the enemy and how he may try to ensnare us, this survellance technology is being promoted as being cool to 'get chipped' and responsible to help keep tabs on things for security etc, but all people are doing is handing over control to a government authority that are developing more and more sophisticated technology able to monitor more about those implanted. As much as this technology sounds fantastic I would be willing to forward links and references from scientific Journals should anyone be interested as I did a project on it at Uni.

Noone can say when the rapture will be but now is a time to have our hearts ready for it could be any time. Each day I feel it is very important now to get our lives right before The Lord and really live for him.

I suffered from this a lot in my teens due to not having the love of my mother yet she adored my siblings. Of course I thought I must be bad and have things wrong with me. I had a 180 degree turn when I read the scriptures about how much Jesus loves me. Pray that God will give you a revelation of how precious you are to him. The presence of the Lord and his Love. How He died for us, this is an astounding Love that is hard to comprehend but when we pray and spend time in his presence, he shows us how special we are to him. This way any opinions from man that may have affected our opinions of ourself in the past have less of an affect on us as we see ourselves in Gods eyes. I had a list of scriptures of how God sees his children, I must find them.

I am not arguing over the matter I simply felt that this is a serious issue in the church that needs to be addressed, and Vitality summed it up well. As Christians it is our responsibility to defend the Lord. If you are Born Again and have the Holy Spirit then you know when the spirit is being grieved with disrespect. I have listened to a lot of sermons and been in tears with laughter, I am not talking about humour I am talking about Irreverence, completely different. I am so very sorry that it is so hard for many to fear and revere their God and they will say anything no matter how ridiculous to justify this. There is no such thing as a "Holy thing" there is only a Holy God and when in his presence should be feared and revered.

Edification is when the purpose of our coming together is to bring blessing to God and we therefore will also be blessed through seeking him. This is of course very different than coming together to lift up a personal agenda or some ones ego that may look good on a superficial level. We truely please the Lord when we Edify him in places and situations where it may be extremely uncomfortable to do so. We must defend his name at all times.

Tari, praise God that your husband has been set free. Before I was Born Again I was in a false doctrine and it took a lot of prayer for me to recieve the Truth. Others that I know that are in false belief systems seem to be very defensive about it and can be a bit arrogant. The only way that I have ever got through to someone like that is with a LOT of prayer and also to fast when they are extra stubborn. I pray that God would open their ears and eyes to recieve the truth of the Gospel.

Gods compassion, love and mercy for these ones may give them the opportunity to find redemption in him. They have been overcome by the evils of this world instead of turning to Our Lord to overcome and bear their burdens for them. They are not evil, just desperate and I hope they find refuge in Gods arms.

I don't want to be entertained I want to be strenghtened by the Holy Spirit and I could not care about the building, I would gladly be with God in a garden shed. I just want to be close to Jesus (which I am) and because I love him and what he has done for me I am sensitive to anything or any behaviour that I feel is not of reverence to my God. I believe that the Word of God is life and life-changing and when delivered needs to be done so with Love not as though it is a bit of fluff.

Please in all fairness Ambassador the last thing on this earth is that I would ever dream of expecting to get closer to God through a man or pastor and I certainly do not see anything magical in the church building, such views are more pagan than Christian, I am simply asking for respect in the church toward God. I am sorry that you have completely misunderstood me.

It is very much a time to be in Jesus special care. Remember always the beautiful things that he put on this earth to inspire us and give beauty to our lives. His creation and nature. It depends on where you live but a walk in nature and reminder of Gods beautiful creation can help you it is also very important to get proper exercise and look after your health with proper food rest and sleep. This may sound basic but looking after the temple and spending time in Gods presence will help him heal our hearts. There we can hear his voice and take a path of action that can be steps leading out of the valley and onto higher plains of blessing. At this time one must walk very closely with the Lord, he will strenghten his precious saints through this time.
