Dear Autumn

I Thank and Praise God also, for meds..  They are for my pain.  I also stand on the Word to my Healing.  What I have learned is, Even though I do not "see or feel" that Healing, I will Praise Him and Thank Him.  As you know faith is based on what we DO NOT SEE OR FEEL.  The Spirit has/had shown me so much in the face of what goes on in my life.  We exercise our Faith in what is not seen or felt.  I will lift you up Sister and I will Pray for you.  Part of your testimony may be that, in the face of what deal w/ you chose to Praise Him.  As for me, many things may not appear to be what I claim.  However, my heart is sold out to Jesus.  Soon that knot WILL BE useful, to put your feet on as you climb that rope.  He has heard your Prayers.  Let His Peace over take you, as the Knowledge of His Love pours over you.  I encourage you to put your Faith in His Love.  I may not understand all that is happening to you.  But, I recognize the out cry of you heart.  The enemy would want you to believe it's lies.  When I have read your posts to others, you encourage them, and His Love is seen clearly from what I have read.  Remember I will/am Praying for you, yet more important Jesus is interceding for you to the Father.  Autumn you are a Sister and part of the Body, you have value and are important.

In the Love of the Lord

Chris

All Jesus did for you when he hang on the cross he did for you we may experience tough situations, but we can avoid deep depression as in 2 Cor. 4:8,9. words of comfort Jesus understands and hears your prayers please! never give up praying Israel became depressed while in Babylon. and yet They were called to put their faith into action in there dark hours so you can in your dark hour put your faith in Jesus Isa 40 and in Jer 29:11 God has a plane for you and they are good He Loves you and you are needed Jesus has a future for you for His Glory you are the apple of His eye and He walks with you God Bless you sister. with all Lovingkindness Christopher

Autumn,

Blessings to you for sharing your deepest feelings. I am confident God has you tucked away in His hands. I don't know why you are suffering this battle but I do believe a lot of us are facing some things we have not had to face before. I'm not sure but I believe our God is preparing us for maybe some rough times. I pray you will sense God's love and power through these difficult trials you are facing. I pray that you will completely overcome through Jesus Christ our loving Savior and I am completely confident in you and your testimony. In His name.

I got home today. I worked 60 hours on the ambulance since friday morning with a break saturday night. I can in and felt so exhausted, but my mind was unable to rest. I logged in and read your prayers and advice. I remembered a song I had heard once a while back. I so love music and it seems to just touch my soul sometimes. As I was putting the song on to play I began to think of the things Im doing right now. I am slowly but surely working an a book titled "A Psychiatric Battle, Victory Through Jesus". I am sharing the word of God more each day, I am praying more, I am trying to learn more, and then it hit me....I am moving closer and closer to my Lord and satan can't stand it. I m reaching out to others in the name of God, I am setting a better example for others in my daily walk than I ever have before, and the closer God and I become the more satan is attacking me. That's the answer to me. I had so lost sight of the fact that Jesus interviened for me before and I don't know where any doubt came from that he would not do it again! I began to play the song "Through The Fire" by the Crabb Family, and as the words began to be sang with such passion my heart became convicted. I began to weep uncontrollably, I must have listened to it about three times and when it started to play for the fourth time, I was smiling, my heart felt uplifted, I felt each of your prayers, I began to sing and then I was clapping, then I was lifting my hands up to my Lord and He said right to my heart that He is right here with me, never left me, never will. I must have looked silly sitting all alone in my room playing this song so many times for over an hour but I just could not hear it enough. My singing went from weak to joyful to outright praising God. When I finally turned it off, I prayed and thanked God for taking me through another fire, for shielding the flames one more time, and asked his forgiveness for ever doubting He would let me slip back into that pit. I know I may face this attack again and again through out my life. It is my weakness and that is where satan focuses. But I have beat him so badly before and every time it made me stronger, more determined, and strengthened any testimony I have to offer. I think sometimes negative thoughts get into my head and I dwell on what might happen to me instead of fighting for what I know God will do for and with me. I will win this war as many times as I have to and I will stay strong and if in my lifetime these things I go through that God assures me I will win, will make me strong enough to bring even one person to the Lord, then I have done the only thing in this earthly world that really matters. Nothing I accomplish, no success, no advancement, no battle have I ever had to stand alone and do by myself. I am learning to focus on what God is telling me and to wait until He answers, in His time. Each of your words meant so much, each of your prayers and your encouragement reminded me of who I really am, a child of the Almighty Father. None of you have ever even met me and took time to share things that I needed to hear and remember and apply to my mind to strengthen my faith. It is so wonderful to have brothers and sisters in Christ that I know I can come to and count on for prayer and I have no doubt He hears us all. I think maybe when satan is really attacking me I lose my focus and the doubt and worry takes over and makes the depression worse than it has to be. This relapse is just one more chapter to my book and one more chance for me to show others like me that God really does "take us through the fire". God bless you all as I know your prayers were heard and your words refocused me on the words of God just as I needed to hear them. You are all a blessing in my life and I am sure to many others. I hope I can offer hope to others as you have to me. Thank you for your faith and for sharing your words and helping me to stand back up. It's still a little bit sad in my heart but each moment seems to be taking me to where I need to be and I will never forget to fall down on my knees and thank God for loving me, saving me, and never giving up on me even when I give up on myself.

I just said a prayer for you and I know God is listening to everyone pleading for your cause (p.s. there are lots of different vitamins out there and herbal supplements that clean out your system and that can really aid in repairing and restoring regular function in your body, might be something to look into along with the prayer :), May God Bless
