The gifts are in the Giver.
The giver is the gift. People receive. What have we to give Him, but thanks? No one moves apart from Him. We move in Him. He moves US. We step aside that He may move. Man must decrease and the Lord increase. Nuenjines, we do not move God. God moves us. The power you seek is an extreme unction and not a toy. As the Lord leads through whom as He chooses, when and if He chooses. New every day. it begins and ends as His steps. Not ours. Every day is unique and different, but He must lead now. Right now. Always right now. Be still and wait upon Him. Get nuenjins out of the way, and let the Lord have His way with Nuenjins.    |

To a point I agree wouldee. But we are called to 'stir up' our passins, 'remember' our first love, and the list of actions goes on. I would rather make the mistake of overdoing it than not doing enough. If I feel anxiety or doubt i would stop. I make mistakes but progress is needed and I'm willing to practice taking risks as this is just a website after all.
Also "seek' and you shall find "knock' and it will open. I do have time to "be still and know" but I have to let my heart out, it blesses me and hopefully does some good. |

Stir ourselves. So our light shines, not our ambitions..

I totally agree with the sweet wouldee.....All gifts are of him and for him.....everything I do is of him and for him.....and when and only when he ask me to seize I will do so.....
But I also know from the depths of my soul that nuenjins is a Godly man......also led by him and for him truly. |

Do you have the time to tend a flock?
Do you know the Word and what it is not saying? Do you know the wickedness and depravity in man? Can you die daily? Nuenjins must be an empty vessel. Nuenjins does not decide what will fill the vessel.

The Holy Spirit does abide in you, nuenjins.
You are young in the Lord. Remain youthful in Him.

I'll be honest...I didn't read more than the first page of this post. I will also say that this is the first time I've ventured into the religion threads at all. I say this for a reason.
Last week, I hit rock bottom. I've been out of work. I'm living with my daughter. I have no income. I lost my apartment. I'm close to losing my car. My car insurance expired. My cell phone is $400 past due. There is no house phone, this is my only means of communication, i.e., my only way to be contacted by an employer...My storage unit, which holds everything I own, will sell my items if not paid by Dec 5th. I could go on and on. I have depression..bordering on bi-polar with suicidal tendencies..and at this point I'm untreated. Yes...I'm telling way too much, I know..but bear with me. Saturday night was horrible for me. I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was killing myself. I have enough medications in my cabinet, that it could be done. I thought of running a hose from my car exhaust in thru a window and dying that way. I could vividly picture putting a gun to my head...and could see the mess it would leave. I cried alot...it was all I could do to make myself stay in bed. I was afraid to get out of bed. Afraid of what I would do. Sunday afternoon I had a talk with a friend of mine. We've never met in person. I met him on another site, but we talk alot. I told him what I was going thru. He told me that he found something recently to help him get thru the tough times. He told me I need to give my problems to God. I need to go to church, and pray. And let God lead me. I promised him I would do that. We sat on here and we prayed together. And I cried some more. Monday, I got a call..and was offered a job. The last company I worked for had been holding my paycheck because they didn't have the money to cover it. I got the call on Monday that I could cash that check. I was able to make my car payment, my storage payment and a payment on my cell phone. I'm not out of the clear. I still have a lot of work to do. But I honestly believe God helped me. I will keep my promise and go to church. Maybe this is out of context. I don't know. I'm still scared. I still don't know how to reach out and do this alone. But I'm learning. |

My Father God: I humbly come before you and annoint you. I thank you for all that you do in my life. I ask Father God that you put a hedge of protection around Qwicher......Give her strength and wisdom to guide her in her path. Give her oh Father God the knowledge in her heart and soul that you will not forsake her.....And you will never give her more then she can handle. And lead her to those of support and comfort so that they too can be a strength for her Lord God. And I ask Lord take all the strongholds from her life......Show her Lord God her importance come to her in visions and dreams and give her your blessing for all the days of her life. In your precious name, this I pray Amen......Please sweets also go to the Christian Coffeehouse alot of great people and awesome support system....and e-mail me anytime...
Debbie Your new Sister In Christ. |

If there is any way we can help please let me know. I am a physical person also and am willing to do 'real' things.
I contemplated suicide using the eact same idea. Exept mine went through the trunk into a compartment in the back seat. Still have the hose I bought actually. God bless you.

The Holy Spirit does abide in you, nuenjins. You are young in the Lord. Remain youthful in Him. I've been a christian for 25 years wouldee, not new at all. I understand what you are saying also, I am learning daily, but the sharpening process does not happen magically either. Aside from this site my church outlet is very scarce. Experience has taught that more is needed and I need to prepare. I will try to contemplate your advice and assess where I am with my intensions. I am seeking fervently for the path that leads to the New Testament church model, and I really can't rest till I find it. I can't help it. It's a breath of fire. -ya would |

I believe that you received the faith that you needed at this very moment to realize that the Lord is with you. As Feral said, the Lord will NOT give you more than you can handle. Everything in life happens for a reason, even in the darkest portion of your life where you look at the situation and you ask "why?". We are put into situations like this to strengthen our inner body...our mind and soul. I believe that the Lord seen you struggling and had to push you in the "right" direction (to HIM), so he had to allow troubled times to coerce you to trust in Him. As I said, everything happens for a reason, hence your "spiritaul friend" that had you promise to pray and go to church. Qwicher, the Lord needed you to see that He is carrying you through these hard times...the footprints are not yours walking alone...they are His. He is dedicated to you as He is all of His children. Trust in Him and your own strength as a woman of God. I will pray for you Qwicher...don't give up, there are healing times ahead. you, Misty |

We tend to look at this "church" thing in the wrong light.....
expecting that the gathering together of humans....can somehow lift us above ourselves. In some congregations this is possible. Reality is......."where two or more are gathered together....in His Name......there will He be also" Where the Holy Ghost is.....there is Church. |

Also "seek' and you shall find "knock' and it will open. I do have time to "be still and know" but I have to let my heart out, it blesses me and hopefully does some good. You are an awesome man of God, honey, you have allowed my soul to be free with your words of God and wisdom in the Lord. I have sought and I did find...you!   I love you and all that you're about! You are an awesome find and I am so very grateful that the Lord joined our paths! you
