I had a strong "faith"--but then due to some "spiritual abuse" i now struggle with my "faith", and "trust" in the "lord" as well as myself--i want my "faith" back.
somewhere, outthere, hi sweeteeyore, welcome and here's a joke for you, i found this at the forum of AAG-
WHAT'S A CHURCH?
A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation. The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country.
"I've had a pretty good life," the twenty-dollar bill proclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City , the finest restaurants in New York , performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean "
"Wow!" said the one-dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!"
"So tell me," says the twenty-dollar bill, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"
The one dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church , the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church."
The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"

hello, here's a joke to welcome you at AAG! God bless you today and always. by the way how did you get to know this christian site?
Which Way to Heaven?
Reverend Billy Graham tells of a time early in his ministry when he arrived in a small town to preach a sermon. Wanting to mail a letter, he asked a young boy where the post office was. When the boy had told him, Dr. Graham thanked him and said, "If you'll come to the Baptist Church this evening, you can hear me telling everyone how to get to heaven."
The boy replied, "I don't think I'll be there... You don't even know your way to the post office."
If any one is in Christ, he is a new creation: old thing have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ Jesus, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. 2Cori 5: 17,18
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR FEELINGS CONCERNING PRAYER...WE NEED TO BEAR ONE ANOTHERS BURDENS, AND MOST FAMILIES ARE DEALING WITH SOME FORM OF MENTAL ILLNESS...MY SON PAT, HAS BI POLAR DIEASE. HE IS SUCH A LOVE..BUT LIFE JUST OVERWHELMES HIM....GOD BLESS YOU....SHERRY
Hi Sweeteeyore, There are times when you may feel down, but it is impossible for you to be alone.
Years ago I had a most moving experience. A young woman threw in my face that God and His word are my crutch. Believe me, she was not nice. It was harsh, and her words were hurtful. She was supposed to be a friend. She said, "You're always going to Him! That’s your crutch!" She felt that it was a weakness. She didn't like the way I spoke the word. It went on and on.
It's true. I can't do everything on my own. Jesus Christ has something I need. I blurted out..."If I must lean on something, then let it be the everlasting arms." She never said another word and walked away.
God loves you very much. Lean on the everlasting arms. He cares about all the details in your life to the point He has numbered the hairs on your head. I ask God to send a ministering angel to hug and comfort you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
God bless,
Mary O.
hi sweeteeyore.. yes i am here for you anytime too, thank you for praying for me and know that i am blessed to have you, God bless you sister, in Christ love Glenda
sweeteeyore , God loves you so much that he created you mamita, ask him to help you feel his love and he will... just by giving you the desire to ask for help is a sign that he wants to be there for you, he provides in us that need , even when it feels you are alone that is whenihe is closer to you, would you be able to separate from what you love?? no.. neither can he .... i love you and know that we are here for each other...
YOUR ARE A CHERISHED FRIEND!
GOD BLESS!
Email me anytime if you want to swap testimonies, need encouragement/support, have questions, or just want to share whats on your mind. YOU have made me want to stay on AAG. Thank you.
Love, DaughterOfGod
Sis,
Thank you for stopping by just to say HI! I was not ignoring you. I am not on everyday, and the last couple of days have been sick :(. Your words of support made my heart feel better! How are YOU today, my friend?
Fairest Lord Jesus, right now bring STRENGTH to "sweeteeyore"...let her know that you ARE THERE Lord, and that you have not abandoned her. Wipe her darkness away and bring your light into her soul, her mind, her heart, her home! In Jesus Name Father, touch her with your oh so gentle, but powerful arms, wrapping her in your Love! Let her feel your Holy Spirit come upon her in such a way that she will KNOW IT IS YOU. Bring peace over what's bothering her, and bring her words of wisdom that will guide her out of darkness and into your light. AMEN.
I am here for you.
Love in Christ
DaughterOfGod
Sweet,
I am right there w/you knowing full well what you are dealing with, and what you have dealt with. If you would like to share with me the "details" of what kind of demonic oppression ect...you're going through, I could be of more precise help. Also, put on your "FULL ARMOUR OF GOD" whenever you feel attacked. I do this daily, sometimes often more than once. Since I experience much demonic activity at night, I do this every night before going to sleep.
Ephesians 6:10-18
Paul writes:
"Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Therefor put on the full armor of god, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then with the BELT OF TRUTH buckled around your waist, with the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in place, and with your FEET FITTED WITH the readiness that comes from THE GOSPEL OF PEACE. In addition to all this, take up the SHIELD OF FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the HELMET OF SALVATION and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayer and requests."
LORD, I ASK ON BEHALF OF SWEETEEYORE, THAT YOU WILL ARM HER WITH THE ARMOR OF GOD:
PUT ON HER THE ' HELMET OF SALVATION' :
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
THE 'BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS' :
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they
will be filled." Matthew 5:6
BUCKLE THE 'BELT OF TRUTH' AROUND HER WAIST:
"I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me." John 14:6
ARM HER WITH THE 'SWORD OF THE SPIRIT':
"This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in
WORDS taught by the SPIRIT, expressing SPIRITUAL TRUTHS in SPIRITUAL
WORDS." 1 Corinthians 2:13
ARM HER WITH THE 'SHIELD OF FAITH' :
"If you have FAITH as small as mustard seed, you can say to this
mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will
be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20
FINALLY GIVE HER HER 'SHOES OF PEACE' :
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:7

Philippians 4:7
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the promises of your word, claim your promises during this time of satanic attack; specifically acknowledging your promise that the gates of hell shall not prevail against your people.
We thank you for the equipment and weapons you have given to my sister to fight against the enemy; for your armor & for the sword of the Spirit which is your mighty Word. Lord, you said in you word that you have given her authority over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt her.
You also said if she submits herself to you and resists the devil, he will flee from her. She resists him now in the power and authority of your Holy Spirit, your Word and the blood of Jesus Christ. She resists you satan, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and I command you to stop interfering in her life. You have no right to her whatsoever, for she is a Daughter of God.
Thank you Lord God, that you do not have to save us with sword and spear. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty to the tearing down of every satanic stronghold. Help her to remember at all times who you are Lord, and that you are fighting for her.
All power in heaven and earth are yours, and you are delivering her form the influence and oppression of the enemy. Help her to remember that the battle really is yours, Father, not hers. As she takes her stand upon your word, in the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of your Holy Spirit, We believe that satan is fleeing from her.
As We call upon you, We know you are delivering her, and this leads her to glorify you. Thank you for delivering her according to your word, Lord God; you are her defense , her rock and refuge. Let her find shelter in the blessed promises and provisions of your word. Therefore she shall wage a good warfare as she hold onto her faith; that no enemy can defeat her! We praise you that nothing shall ever be able to separate her form your love. Hallelujah! AMEN.
