Thanks Mary,  I am attending a great church - i am also involved in a small group ministry program - my good buddy and i teach a faith based martial arts program at the church.   Anyway, letting go is what i am dealing with... and giving it to the Lord!  I will be ok in time... thanks,

Mark

Mark you need to go to church and become involved and wait on the Lord until HE brings the right one. My husband and I have been married for 33 years and have 2 grown sons who are faithful to Jesus and we met in church and we were and are still serving the Lord.

If we say we love God we must let Jesus shine through and do as Jesus did and say God forgive them for they no not what they do. I know because of a stand I had to make for Christ my unsaved family members will not speak to me. I will not lie for anyone including my brother so now they say I betrayed him but I know that someday this will lead them straight into the waiting arms of Jesus and then there will be a fantastic family reunion. I have already forgiven them and am gladly waiting for them.

I am in the process of finishing up a divorce... I fell in love with the girl of my dreams.  only a little over a year ago - we met in January 2010, and we married in October....  she wanted a wedding, but not a marriage, we fought over her seeking attention from other men, all the while shutting me out - we got in a big fight on Haloween night last year only 3 weeks after we married.... i was forced to move to the bedroom basement - she wanted a divorce - i begged her to try counseling - she faked it thru most of the counseling, and in March we tried to be together again, I thought we turned a corner in April, and we moved into a new home in May, she turned on me again 2 weeks later - told me she does not love me, and that i require too much of her time.... i moved out in June.  I am hurt, broken hearted, and now after this... my 3rd divorce... i am feeling i am destined to be alone...  I have God!  which, he has shown me i am here for something greater, or i would not have lived thru this.  I pray every night and day for forgiveness, for my wife to soften her heart  - i miss her even thou i was abused and abandoned.  and this upsets me that i miss her! There is no reason for me to miss someone who never really loved me....But,I cant help how my heart still feels!  I am such a fool!

I sincerely feel like my whole life was a mess and sometimes it still is I am a Christian I am baptized and I'm 99% sure I'm saved. But I am scared to be honest. I'm having trouble even smiling anymore which is not like me whatsoever. I know that God understands me, but the enemy wants to remind me of everything I've done wrong and nothing that bad in reality, just removed my whole life from sinful activity sometimes I doubt that it's possible and I don't mean to doubt Jesus but I have been so very selfish and I don't know why God loves me to be honest. I have to have more faith I think thanks for reading, I pray for all of humanity in the name of Jesus and peace to all of you blessings, Philip

I pray that all the hurts and memories that have come your way due to your pasts, all the bondage to whatever that holds you back from attaining the peace and joy that you deserve because you are a child of God, be overcome as you receive God's grace.  May you all be able to rest in HIM, the Source of all strength of deliverance.

"And what a sharp pain will go through us when we suddenly realize that we could have produced complete and utter joy in the heart of Jesus by remaining absolutely confident in Him, in spite of what we were facing."

 

"We have been talking quite a lot about sanctification, but what will be the result in our lives? It will be expressed in our lives as a peaceful resting in God, which means a total oneness with Him."

Well,I wish I could say good bye to the things in my past, but the bad choices I made then are tormenting my life now ! I have an addiction that is destroying me, but I can't break free.. Even though I have a great wife and 4 wonderfull kids, I'm mieserable ! I hate what this is doing to me and my family and I'm so ashamed of the life I lead and the things I do but I can't stop the insanity ! It has bound me and controls me to the point of no return ! I have an evil spirit living inside my mind that takes over my will and no matter how hard I fight him, he allways seems to win .. I can only pray that God will answer my cry and end this maddness but my flesh is weak and satan's rath has left me battered and in pain .Please Pray for my family that we might find peace in this storm before it's to late .

The past can be a very powerful monster. One that can demand attention, at what seems to be its own whelm. Or, our past is just aspects ,of what now is wisdom to us. The monster seems to act like a magnet, and it pulls on us. We pray and beg God to take the temptation from us. We put on a brave face, tell everyone, we will never do whatever it is again! Then from nowhere, something or someone comes around. The magnet comes on, and we find ourselves, breaking our word.
We must be honest w/ ourselves, as long as we have that something, that attracts a weakness from the past, we will return. When we do finally, get past ,whatever that is, we must fill the void w/ Holy Ghost. Or, as the one in Luke 11:24-26, was rid of the demon, yet failed to fill that house, it returned w/ 7 others.
In the end, our past is just that, our past. We would not be who are, if not for it. Yet, our past can not define us. It can not be our highest achievement, and probably not our lowest low.
With Jesus, Holy Spirit, and Our Heavenly Father, working in us, we can say w/ confidence. If, you knew me then you do not know me now. And who I am now I will not be tomorrow.
