You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

2 Timothy 2:1-2 NASB

My marching orders for life

[Openly Curious]

I don't know if I can summarize my life at present into any one passage of scripture for I have mixed emotions at present so maybe that is why. I do feel like G-d is doing restoration work on my heart. I have a complicated story very complex. But I came to know the lord and gave my life over to him and G-d was putting my life back together and i knew the joy of the lord for the first time in life.

i had my struggles with drugs and alchol as i used them very much so to dull pain that i carried on the inside of my heart. I was in church learning more of G-d and his ways. But then my christian walk after a few short years was literally turned upside down and shattered by events that took place. I tried suicide but failed and was mad because someone found me. From that time I have struggled with those thoughts secretly inside of my heart. For I got stuck in a straight betwixt the two.

After i got out of hospital I heard preacher preach that suicide is a sin I guess he thought it was his duty to correct me but I embraced that as truth that day and it was that truth that was literally keeping me alive through the years battling those thoughts. The preacher gave no doctrine when he was preaching but I found other scripture that validated it within my own mind so the truth was keeping me alive that it was a sin at least to me and my mind.

G-d has recently shown me my own brokenness of heart as he shed light upon it. And I realize that my will had literally been taken from me all the way back when the events accured as I have had no super desire to live life just been going through it. I have held on to two things since i got out of hospital one that my belief suicide was wrong on my part and the second thing i hung on to was the lord.

I hung onto the Lord because as I was lying in hospital unconscious on bed I heard someone in the room say the word "beard" and when I heard that in my mind I thought they were talking about Jesus they were plucking his beard so in my mind I got fumming made and said if you do I'll hit you. From that time I began to recover from my failed attempt. I've held onto the Lord from that time but have been plagued with suicidal thoughts with no will or desire to really live. It has been a battle on the inside of my heart but these two things have sustained me.

Recently I have learned that my will was literally taken from me for I did not realize these things before for i could not see them in my own right G-d has chosen this time in my life to show me these things as I have also seen other things that were taken from me as well. I guess I am able to bear these things as I am stronger now than before as he said he will only put on us what we are able to bear.

I feel G-d has taken those feelings of not wanting to live away from me and i am no longer in a staight betwixt the two and I take great joy in knowing the devil's plans in my life have been finally foiled as my will has been restored to me through much complexity and anguish of soul and confusion but the devil has lost that one for good for this I know now and am assured of.

There are other issues I have but am still confused and bewildered in trying to figure them all out but I feel like G-d is restoring back unto me the joy of my salvation so if there is a scripture to summarize where i am at it is that one. There are so many things in all of this that hinders me in ways I can't speak about and I have difficulty getting help from other christians because they just can't connect to what I am going through. But that's all I know at present and this is where I am at.

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the

LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

[Candi770]

Openly Curious,

The Lord has totally battled that Spirit of Suicide in my life. I know exactly what that is

like. Unfortunately I was backslidden-praying for death. I had a dream that a voice of

an unknown tongue was behind my front door- I didn't want anything to do with it and All I knew to do was rebuke it- In my dream I landed in my bed-although I was aware of my

surroundings- I felt my spirit center in my belly-the use of my arms and legs as well as

my head were gone and my spirit was leaving. I tried to scream-please don't let me die,

my young son was in bed with me (3years old) and I was in my parents home-and my brother

had died 3 years before that-for their sake, I didn't want them to find me dead. I couldn't speak. I tried to scream. I kept thinking I don't want to die- I don't want to die and in an instant my spirit rushed through my whole body and

I was wide awake- I ran to my father-so he would pray for me. I felt so alive!!

Later the Lord, delivered me from severe postpartum depression (with second child)-

years later-he shown me- I made a pact with death and I asked him to break that off of

me and set me free.

That was a very intense year in my life-I felt like I was in the flames-the devil totally wanted

me dead- then slowly I learned of my authority in Christ and stood on his scriptures!! But, the Lord was so real and he made his presence, known in my life. One night in dream, he gave me that song in the night-a song of deliverance- all I can remember is that he said he anointed me. It was such an awesome year, although it was the toughest one.

I crashed after that, I wanted the same experiences-but the Lord lead me through a new

season of growth- He was doing a new thing. I had to realize that my righteousness in God was through what Jesus did. I couldn't relie on what worked in the past-the Lord was doing the whole thing.

We just must truly trust in Him and let Him take us through-these things. He gets the Glory

and he Gets the Honor. He can take us through the fire and we never get burnt or smell like smoke-praise His Name forever!!!

Apart from him I can do NOTHING!!

This is me prior to salvation.

John 8:24 Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I AM, you shall die in your sins.

This is me now.

Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God,

9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

My favorite verses change from one moment to the next. Lately, Psalm 23 is a favorite.

[dakota190]

when i read the type of answer you wanted, the first thing that popped into my mind was John, 11,v-35, "Jesus wept!", i know the context is actually about the resurrection of Lazarus, but it also represents to me how our Lord's heart break's for all of us. how deeply he cares about our salvation. i realize the cross symbolizes that, but i also include this verse. it is the sweet love of our Lord.

Jeremiah 1

"The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin. 2The word of the LORD came to him in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, 3and through the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, down to the fifth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, when the people of Jerusalem went into exile.

4The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

In contrast to the Jeremiah passage, this one, too. I see myself as this woman:

Luke 7:36-50:

"Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee
