God is faithful!!!!

Love, Peace, prosperity and everything else that comes with the abundant life that Jesus came to give us.

The scripture I heard as I read your post is to cast your care upon the Lord because he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7) Many times our minds are loaded down with issues and it messes with our sleep. Based on all of the things you've shared here on this board, I would say you need to turn over some things to the Lord. You are way to young to have these types of concerns and burdens. It's time to enjoy your teenager years sweetheart! Also, if you are waking up...use that time to intercede for different people. The devil won't like that so he will be happy for you to

Joseph Prince??? He's an excellent minister to listen to in order to help you through your questions. He will take you through the word and even break down the words in Hebrew for their original meanings. I'm praying for you Cloud. You have a powerful call on your life...and the fact that you struggle with these things, you will be able to help millions of people, in this "oversexed" world, get free. Just let God minister to you...PLEASE!!!! God has need of you! Blessings!

You've got it all wrong Cloud...so sorry! Be blessed!

Praying for you Ditte3. Your son will do well and God will put the right peaceful words in your husbands mouth so the understanding will be there.

Cloud, I think you need to pay really close attention to what Daphanie has said here. The reason why things may not be going right for you is you are condemning yourself. You've already considered yourself unworthy for the job or from the relationship just because of how you feel about your sin. You are the ONLY one who is remembering your sins when God remembers them no more... For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” (Hebrews 8:12) If you think about Condemnation, the root word is "Condemned". When something is condemned...like a building...a person rules it unworthy to exist so they tear it down or demolish it. The devil has convinced you that you are not worthy to exist and instead of you blaming the devil for this lie, you have blamed God for the things that haven't worked out in your life. God isn't doing it...YOU are doing it....with your thoughts. "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he..." (Proverbs 23:7) You have already told your self that YOU are not worthy for a job because of these areas that you struggle with. God has already said that in your weakness, HIS STRENGTH is made perfect. Check out this scripture in 2 Cor 12:8-10 (AMP version)... Three times I called upon the Lord and besought [Him] about this and begged that it might depart from me; But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Then Paul said... Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me! So for the sake of Christ, I am well pleased and take pleasure in infirmities, insults, hardships, persecutions, perplexities and distresses; for when I am weak in human strength], then am I [truly] strong (able, powerful in divine strength). What I would like to get across to you is that you are in the RIGHT place. You are in a place of weakness...which means, you can't do it...it takes the work of the Holy Spirit to do what you desire to get done. He doesn't do it in YOUR timing...he does it when the work is completed and when it's done, you will look up one day and realize that it's gone. When YOU try...it's temporary. Be STRONG IN THE LORD...and not in yourself. When you do this, which comes by you renewing your mind IN THE WORD OF GOD...then everything else begins to work out for you and fall into place...including the relationship. Trust me...if you are condemning yourself, you will begin condemning the woman God sends to you...eventually. Condemned people CONDEMN other people. I hope this helps you. Just sit with all that has been shared with you here and let it marinate. :0) One last scripture for the road... being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ...(Phil 1:6) BELEIVE THIS WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART!!!

Praise the Lord!!! I didn't post anything, but I did pray for you. You must TRULY have an awesome ministry because you've been going through in your body since you've been here on this site. God is good...He always delivers you out of the "furnace" of each situation.

Is your question WHY is God Specifically involved with you while you struggle with these things?

You are preaching Girl!!!!

This is encouraging me...so when it's my turn to look, I will wait for HIS timing and the RIGHT place. The time is coming soon...I can feel it in my bones!!!

Awesome!!!

God moved fast. Praise the LORD!!!

WHenever I see the husband (Pastor) stand by and say nothing, I think about the spirit of jezebel. It was the same thing with my former pastor and wife...she did a lot of things and he sat by and watched. All three of us were at the table when she told me that and he said NOTHING...however it was apparent that he was uncomfortable. I so agree with Connie...we need to PRAY for them (and others) to change!!!!

I heard this and I will definately pray!!!!!!!!

I didn't even know you had childen MJ... Yes, my son says he doesn't believe in God, as well, but I know differently. I hold on to the Word that says that when I train him up in the way he should go, when he gets old, he will NOT depart from it. We have to hold on to the Word concerning our children, because the devil desires to have them. Congrats to you and your family for leaving bondage and stepping into FREEDOM!!

Hi MJ... I know what you are going through. When I FINALLY left my church, I was told by my pastor's wife that if I left, my life will go on a downward spiral and the devil would have his way with my life. Well, because I KNOW that the enemy can't have ANY access into my life unless I give it to him, I didn't receive it. My life has gone so much better since I left. So, what I'm saying to you is, NOBODY can curse what God has already blessed (there is a scripture reference, but I couldn't find it). It doesn't matter what she says or does...don't receive it!!!! I will pray with you that NO WEAPON that is formed against you can prosper...and every EVIL tongue that rises up against you, will be PROVEN WRONG because that is YOUR heritage in Christ Jesus!!!! Also remember that Jesus was a curse on the cross so that you wouldn't have to suffer in the curse. YOU ARE BLESSED GOING OUT AND COMING IN!!!

No condemnation to those who are in Christ...This is a testimony for her, so let's continue to rejoice with her. Blessings!

Jasmine...I was reading this scripture a few moments ago, in the Amplified Version of the Bible, and I thought about you. This confirms what I was saying to you in my other post. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne. (Matthew 11:28-30)

God is good and He is faithful!!!

My heart breaks for you because you have WAY TOO MUCH to be concerned with, at the age of 13. You should be enjoying your young life, but you seem to have been placed in a situation where you are left to hold the world on your shoulders. I can say this about Jesus...you don't have to "hear" him. There is something about going to God and venting to him...pouring out everything that is on your heart. Many times I don't hear his voice...especially in certain seasons...it's a peace or a feeling that everything is going to be okay. That, to me, is the comfort of the Holy Spirit. This could be one of the things you talk to Jesus about...the fact that you have no one to talk to...and let him set up the right circumstances for you to meet someone that you can talk to...a mentor! It is definately not God's will for you...or any of us...to be weighed down with stuff!! Go to him and let Him touch your heart and calm you on the inside. The God who created your emotions is the one that has the combination to untie whatever has you bound up. Love you girly...

I'm praying with you...I know how you feel because I was there where you are now. I had to turn my focus away from a job being my supply and turning it towards the Lord being my supply. When I did that, God met my needs through other people and then I got a job. I'm not saying this is the way for you, but I am saying to look to Jesus who is the Author and the Finisher of your faith. He is the one who supplies for you so things won't be tight while you wait for the open door that he has for you.

Jasmine, do you have anyone in your church that you can talk to? I'm a little leary about you telling your pediatrician because they usually don't want to solve anything...only medicate. You don't need to be medicated, you just need someone, besides your mother, that you can freely express yourself to.
