Christian Chat

Christian Chat

Hi my friends, this is Bella here, I thought how nice & lovely to have a Thread for Christians. I am not talking about Religion, GOD is Love, GOD gives free will to us all in the world. I have a relationship with GOD through HIS Word-The Bible, most of my life. I became a Pentecostal Christian many years ago. Would you like to come join me here in this Thread?

I am excited about starting it, you can just sit relax, chat about your love, for GOD & JESUS. Or post encouragement for others. Support, or be supported with Prayer. Hey, would you like to, Praise & post links to Praise & Worship music? Stories, or experiences, poetry, fun things to help us have a giggle, lovely pictures, photos, there are so many things you can post & chat about that will Bless & Build us up in The LORD! Life is about giving, loving, healing flows from a loving heart, whom purely wants to- just give!

I hope & pray, you will receive, Peace, Love, & JOY!... & healing in your heart! Amen xo <>< Bella 🙂

Re: Christian Chat

@Appleblossom I can relate. While my experiences with Christianity have only been positive, my upbringing and adult life have not been a bed of roses either. I would love to have the blind faith of some Christians who only see joy in Jesus.

I am glad you have spoken up because while I love reading what @DownMoreThanUp posts sometimes I feel guilty because I am obviously not a good enough Christian as I don't get the joy that he does.

I don't feel that I am being "bible bashed" though, but I do get the feelings of guilt etc.

@DownMoreThanUp my darling brother, I truly enjoy your posts but I don't always agree. We are told to preach and I am glad you have the knowledge and ability to share. I truly do get a lot out of your posts, just sometimes I do feel a little like Apple does.

I feel honoured to be able to talk freely about Christianity with everyone on this forum and feel like I can be a little more honest now.

God bless you xoxo

Re: Christian Chat

@ENKELI My dear i'm talking spiritually not physically when i use the bible i always talk spiritually. It is in your heart that the trouble is, for you are not in God's rest.

Please do think about this deeply my dear, you are telling me that Jesus - The Living Word - has not got your salvation ready made for you? How can that be true?

However you know only life in lies is not invited into His Truth my dear, surely you are! Can you see the troubled? This is the trouble you totally misunderstand me, and how i try to show you God's word works spiritually.

Your bad life is not you sinning, the wicked are not you in wrong, but spirits who done the hurting and got others to hurt you. Your bad life is not your doing but satan. It was satan who got someone, who should have loved, and cared for you, to hurt you badly instead. So badly that it paralysed you all this time, just as he did to me!

For all the things you say you did, i know you did. Good on you for caring!

Yet how come you were true but Jesus was not NOT TRUE? And He did not bring you any good life. And made you feel the Word of God has no help for you on offer?

Please ponder on our Lord Jesus being THE TRUTH and THE LIFE and then Him saying FULL OF His LOVE to you............"Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." ("Matthew 11:28)

Honestly my dear sister, i cannot stress this enough - it is the bad life in you lying to you that makes you feel as you do, because you live in the bad life and believe the feelings and thoughts it brings you, but you do not believe God's truth.

That is what that creep did to me as well! That is why i hurt so bloody long while trying so F.. hard to do the right thing, but got NOTHING but more pain, rejection, and all kind of bad life back in return. For The wicked, were behind the scene, and were hurting me like this, though my memories and feeling world, in the first place. And so The Wicked, through the sins/hurt/wrong committed against me, had hold on to my thoughts and feelings because of the pain i suffered doing that. A real trap. A real catch 22.

And then when Jesus invited me to be like Him about that and forgive unconditionally, the wicked made me feel that the guilty persons would not be punished, and what good is it to serve God if evil people get away with it. (This is why i encouraged you to read Habakkuk to your heart, not outside yourself, or in your religiously educated mind, but spiritually - out of your heart in spirit prayer to Jesus - meditating on Him and what He says so it is true for you instead of untrue. Watching the movie the shack could also really help here)

For The (Living) word has the answer, as i tried show you before, but the wicked made you feel God's Truth is useless for you here. And so you are still hurting instead of trampling them to ashes dropping your hurting, angry, disappointed, faithless, unbelieving, unforgiving times in yourself like this to Jesus and ask for His good life/ability back in return. And see the difference such will make.

When i say The Living Word, i mean to say when what it says in The word of God is also true in and for you in SPIRIT, just as it says.

Here i share you another Word to ponder in The Love of Jesus and for Jesus.

(This is the promise we live where we have life in The Son and no longer in our old life. (please do ponder for yourself where within yourself this Word has come true (is Alive) and where not.))

Revelation 21:1-2

"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My child."

i promise you if you hand over ll your hurting feelings to Jesus, lay down your life there in, you shall also find freedom from the hurt other peoples sin have caused in your life.

Here i proof it to you with another Word of wonder for those hurting life and trust their life into Jesus' hands

Romans 8:26-39

"Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written:

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Lets claim the promises of the word and not let bad life keep us from Him.

Re: Christian Chat

Hi @ENKELI ,

I was reading through the posts and saw Job mentioned.

It got me thinking that this chat is a bit like the book of Job.

Job really whinges! It's not fair!

The friends preach at him.

God, finally, talks.

He upholds Job (howbeit a little bit of a rebuke). God rebukes the friends for trying to correct Job.

God is okay with honest whinging.

David's psalms also show God is okay with whinging. David also really whinges. Whinges then ends with praising God. And David is described as a man after God's own heart.

"And you know what happened to my heart? Jesus filled me with all the love that my dad couldn't give me." (@DownMoreThanUp, 2025)

Quote of the day I think.

Re: Christian Chat

@DownMoreThanUp please take this with the love and respect it is meant. I thank you for your post however I am feeling like I am being taught to suck eggs. I know all this and I am feeling a bit like @Appleblossom felt. I really don't want you to tell me what I already know my friend. Sometimes we just need to vent.

Thank you.

Re: Christian Chat

@ENKELI My dear sister you got me crying now. Why would my testimony of Jesus make you feel guilty? Who do you think makes you guys feel like this? Me? praying for you? Why would that be?

Why does your hurting life speak like that because of my witness of freedom from hurt in Christ hurt you? Why would you believe your tormentor hurting you my testimony of freedom in Christ? Why do my words of love, available to you all for free - even now - hurt you you?

Could it be that not i but someone else is making you feel guilty telling you the good news of salvation?For satan does not want you to be free from hurting you all the time?

Why would you feel i'm attacking you, when i know have been praying all day Jesus opens your eyes to who is hurting you, and His love for you?Why would me saying that hurt you and not make you thankful some is showing Jesus loves you to be free from your pain as well?

You don't have to earn his freedom from pain. @ENKELI, or feel bad not having faith, or any of those kind of thoughts. Wrong in you is not about you being wrong but wrong being in you, it is about him not you when it come to doing it wrong, but about freedom from havoing to feel this.

For the one in you activating guilt, shame not feeling good enough, while i witnesses Jesus love and freedom from all of this? FREEDOM FROM HURTING LIFE and CHRIST'S GOOD LIFE IN RETURN? Why would you feel bad about such wonderful news?

So no in no way do i try and stop you from venting as you feel i do. i'm pleading you to have mercy on yourself and on God and believe the truth of Jesus, and not the lies hurting you keeping His loving goodness from you although your fully entitled to it a victim of the wicked.

i love you dear and praying you will believe me not the ones hurting you. i know they are really good hurting us - to keep us out of the love of God - and us in our hurting life. Do i know how true that is!

So please sis it has not to do with your faith, or what you have not done, or done, it has to do what you must suffer so sorely, and who you then blame for your suffering, God, yourself and now even me, trying to show you how the wicked lie to us when they have hold of us. Why would you not want to be delivered even tonight?

If my chats still hurt you simply do not reply to me, or support this mail, and i will refrain telling you about God's goodness in my life. i hate giving the wicked hurting you the opportunity to hurt you even more than they are already doing.

Much love from me.

Re: Christian Chat

Hi @DownMoreThanUp @ENKELI we just wanted to step in here as it seems there's some tensions unfolding.

@DownMoreThanUp we can hear that you are not intending to be cruel or dismissive. We appreciate the support you are trying to provide to other members of the community, and it is great to see how much your faith means to you.

We want to make sure everyone feels comfortable, seen, and listened to in this space. It seems that @ENKELI has expressed a boundary about the way they want to engage with this thread. We remind everyone of our guidelines about respectful communication, and encourage you to take some space from this particular conversation for now.

Re: Christian Chat

@holdinghope5 Thanks stepping in. No hard feelings here. i hope my sister feels the same. i don't want to upset anyone or make hurt flare up.

good night.

In response to: Re: Christian Chat

Re: Christian Chat

@DownMoreThanUp your chats don't hurt me or upset me in general. But what annoys me is sometimes I just want to vent and you seem to need to give me a sermon. That's all I was trying to say. I have a pastor who I love, I don't need you to minister to me my darling brother, I just need you to listen and if I ask for advice then I will gratefully receive every word you share.

@holdinghope5 there wasn't really a need to step in but I understand that you felt you had to so thank you for that.

Much love and blessings, I am so sorry you felt upset my brother, that was definitely not my intention. Text is always difficult to decipher and I know that your posts are written with every good intention, putting God first and sharing what you believe you need to.
I spent time with God this evening while I watered and although I didn't get a response I know He heard me and I also know He will answer my prayers. In His time. I am just impatient.

xoxo
