Looking for a reason

[Afal]

Now I didn't say that at all.

Whoops - sorry. I didn't mean to imply that!

[Afal]

re-train!

I totally agree that that is what I need to do!

P.T.S.D. is treatable but not with medication. It is an spiritual/emotional condition brought about by trauma. Trauma is the door point for P.T.S.D. and only through the intervention of God's hand is one healed of it.

Been there.

Praise the Lord for your input, like minded.

Amen and Amen!

No problem! God calls us to lift one another up and edify each other. Isaiah is most definitely a good place to look for encouragement. especially in that later chapeters. Here is a little more soul food, to feed the vast emptiness...

Is 43:1-5

But, now, thus saith the Lord who created thee, O Jacob, and He who formed thee, O Isreal, Fear not; for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by they name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee... fear not; for I am with thee..."

Is 40:31

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with sings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint"

What you are thursting for is the word of God. It will heal and protect you. Satan has no defense that can break the word of God. I even say it out loud to make sure Satan hears loud and clear that I am going to lean on God to get me through my trials and that Satan will not have my life. Believe me i have been in your shoes, travelling those vallies in the shadows and it is scary! But God will come through for you. Use His word as a weapon! YOU ARE HIS and HIS ALONE!!!!

Tell Satan to "BACK OFF!! I SERVE ONE MASTER AND THAT IS GOD! and guess what GOD always wins!

also remember Satan attacks those who are living for God to try and ruin their testamony... take it as a compliment that God has given you a trial that HE will lead you through. God wants you to be His ever faithful sevent!

God blesses you today with a struggle in which you will honor Him with!

Great verses - Thanks!

One thing that I have realised only recently is that I am scared of speaking to Satan. Does that make sense to you? - so the idea of telling him to BACK OFF! freaks me totally. I believe that God always wins, but I am frightened to tell Satan that and Satan knows that I am afraid!

I completely understand!!!! it is very difficult to talk back to satan and remind him that God is the ruler of your life. That is why I started off by just quoting scripture out loud as loud as i could so that i couldn't hear the thoughts satan was trying to put in my head. and slowly i moved to Back off! God's in controll kind of my life attitude. dont' get me wrong i backslide and i struggle. but i know that satan is scared of God's perfect word, satan doesn't like the truth he likes to twist it just enough to send us in the wrong direction! satan never just slaps u upside the head with random junk... he manipulates the truth into some slightly whorpped (sp?) idea and then as you travel it gets farther and farther from the truth with out you noticing. We best be on guard and take up the riegns and say "BACK OFF!" don't be affraid to say it out loud!

i want to pray for you!

- Heavenly Father, I ask that you would be with Afal. She is seeking for your help father and is struggling with satan's twisted ways. Father i ask that you would encourage her, that you would lift this weight, that you would just lay your hand on her and comfort her every breath with your truth. Father, she is your sheep in need. As you tells us that the good shephered will not leave one not one sheep behind, please come to her. Father give her the courage to tell satan to back off, and that she will only serve one master. Father i ask this not just for afal, but for each of us who are struggling in doubts, in mounds of sin. Father reach out and protect our thoughts, fill them with your truth! I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

ps- if you ever need someone to chat with please feel free to aim me, my sn is yoddlevet. i'm not always on and if there is an away message up leave a message because sometimes i'm not too far from my computer.

I'll tell you a secret, but you gotta promise not to tell anyone else.

There have been times in my life that I've been afraid of Satan, too. I've felt weak and unable to stand against him.

At those times, I've cried out to my Father, my Abba, Daddy, to send His angels to chase old hairy legs away from me, and to take me into the protection of His loving arms.

Try it sometime.

And don't tell anyone what I said.

Love,

Fiosh

Old hairy legs isn't afraid of me. He's afraid of me and Jesus.

James 4: 7-8

"So submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you"

Read it again Afal, "Resist the devil, and he WILL flee from you. " Not he might. He WILL.

You can bank on it.
