Hello John,
Faith requires us to sometimes step out of our comfort zone, and stretch our faith, however God will never allow more to come upon us than we can handle. John, we can't get ahead of God's plan and purpose for our lives, He's preparing us for our future, the enemy would love nothing more than to see us give up...rebuke him. The spirit of God is always in us!
Romans 8:18
For I consider that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

who is telling you that you are doing something wrong? Is it the spirit of life or the spirit of death? The flesh wants us to give up but the Holy spirit is saying "I won't". which one do we believe? Of course the spirit of life! If we dwell too much in the spirit of the flesh we will miss all that God has in store for us. God always answers our prayers...we just don't always get the answer we want when we want it...it's in God's time not ours.

Romas 8:5-6
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

I think we can all relate to some degree what you are going through....it's not pleasant.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Just some food for thought, John you are in my prayers....NEVER give up!

God bless,
Debbie

hi allI have been delivered, Saturday when 2 men prayed with me for 2 hours straight. Demons cast out.
I KNOW God forgave me, it was the grace of God.
Never give up hope for the Unsaved, or Backsliding Christians.
This took 8 months, I truly know I am a new man in Christ.
Thank You
John

Wonderful John, this is fantastic!
Psalms 28:7
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
God bless you!

     God is on the move, but I can't sleep tonight, and had a bad rdeam last night, And to all this I say "Praise God", He is in control.

    Starting Monday the 17th. a season of fasting and praying. The good news is, no fear or severe torment, Praise God!!!.

     But still, an 'evil 'remember spirit' hangs on. (that's what I call it). It has left, for a while, but lately has been back. so,scipture says  'fasting loosens the bands of wickedness"  and  "Some don't leave without prayer and fasting".

     I look at fasting as more spiritual cannons on my side. And denying the flesh, as in no computer games, and media, like TV, and such.

And a very anointed counsel that I go to, has seen changes in me, Praise God!

My goal is to be 100% free of this thing, and just be  stong godly man,

 

Thank You,

John

Stay strong, John.  Your friends on this forum is praying for you.  I know I am.  I am fighting the same fight that you are.  Try to open your eyes up to the positive things in your life, as hard as that may be.  The Lord works in miraculous and surprising ways.  Stay faithful, study God's word, and continue to pray.  You will be saved, and you will find inner peace and happiness.

Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts, and advice.

    I am living for God. And it's much better.

I keep reading the word of God, praying, and once in a while, do a 1 day fast. ( I do fast from video games!)

     So, I LIKE the changes in my life. I'm very nice to my ex-wife. She said, "Why wern't you this way 20 years ago? We'd still be married.".

    I'm on the right path. As I look back on my life. God has told me through people, a few more areas of fogiveness to people I have hurt. I am ASHAMED how I used to live 20 years ago, as a Christian.

     God knows what I needed to change.AND TURNED UP THE HEAT.Isaiah 48:10 KJV Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

 



Again, thank you for the prayers, I still need them,

John
