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

Thanks for sharing @DownMoreThanUp I really hope and pray that the lowish mood doesn't get any worse when you finish your meds!

Thanks for the verses from Zechariah 7: 8-14

so they called out and I would not listen,” says the Lord of hosts. “But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they had not known.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with the wrath of God! As a mother I find this Word hard. I can't imagine not listening if my son called out to me. Jesus welcomed back the prodigal son with open arms. It just means I don't understand God (the Father) or the situation. I don't look for the answers now because I know it will all be clear one day.

I'm all good over this way! I've just had four shots of coffee over ice cream! Yum. I hope you have a good day brother! 💚

@heartathome i used to be petrified of God's wrath, but having met Him in His wrath i now say please bring Him ON!

@AuntGlow @Realness @Realness @Shaz51 @ENKELI

(The blue coloured text is clickable.)

Today i celebrate The wrath of God! For i know His wrath is on ALL life in evil wrong. This means the wrath of God is only suffered when we love wrong. (Rejoice again i say rejoice!) For when life in wrong dies, life in us that died the wrong comes back to life!

It took me many years before i realise God's wrath is His LOVE for me! For me SO hated, even within myself by myself. For i was hated by the those 'friends' of my troubled past, who turned out to be no friends at all, but stole all my God given good life from me. This is why i love living God's Word so much! For Jesus saved me suffering bad life His sheep, and destroyed bad life ruling me those goats.

My ongoing resurrections in my 144,000 Chosen, for i can see already so much life in self ruling beside Jesus, is daily becoming a more awesome sight to behold! For there is sure no better life than living the word in Jesus!

Hallelujah!

(That was fun relating!😁)

Oh Come, Glorious Judgement!

Judgement Day begins when you meet up with Jesus,
He will search out your dwelling place completely,
His Words dividing you the sheep from those goats!

He will address all inner loveless-ness with His love,
and chase the clinging coldness in your heart away,
from death and decay setting your soul completely free!

Truly Judgement Day, is a day of living ecstatic joy,
new life for all those in you hurting or killed by lies
Only His Loving Truth ruling your inner reality now.

Bad religion shall no longer cause you any bother,
As His loving joy growing in you finds deeper root,
lush growth in newness of life replacing deadness!

Yet Judgement Day will be the end of all your fears,
As no terror can ever travel on The Way to Heaven.
All divided you in complete union, praising the Lamb!

Your big I, gets new function at the rear of existence
while loving Jesus ruling as king is put in first place!
You loving our Heavenly Father with all your heart.

In all your life's deeds The Son of God you'll meet,
Answerable for all you have brought into existence,
In good and bad His loving truth visiting you within!

Judgement Day is about being rightly placed by God,
all good and loving dwelling within upfront - to B(b)e.
bad life shaping us the shadows of night - passing away!

Feasting My Good Life!

The Wicked captivated my truth
the truth of my heart and mind
and wound me around their lies
knotted me out of my own reality
into the dungeons of torture below.

Unable to unravel their cob webs
the wicked took control of my life
and brought much pain and misery
feasting on my God given good life
at the expense of my own welfare.

Yet when Christ light lit up my night
and i saw Him on the clouds of heaven
The Wicked sprung all their traps
thinking i was as good as dead
trapped in their nasty fowler's nets.

Yet the Lion of the tribe of Judea
killed the goats great and small
and set me free from their control
and gave me back my freedom in Him
feasting good times growing New Life.

That was very cool linking the Word to your writing @DownMoreThanUp ! 🙂 Thanks for sharing! 🩵

Re: Christian Chat

@heartathome Thanks! Great you enjoyed that. For me, having been so lied to theologically, The Word becoming flesh, is the best part of knowing Jesus as The Living Word within me. How more intimate can Jesus become with me than my spirit fusing in His Spirit, and HisTruth with my truth?

Such is knowing The Word of God incarnated - our very - Lord Jesus whom we love so much saving us from our sins!😀

@AuntGlow @Realness @Shaz51 @ENKELI

i have had such a joyful day today, the first for some time. The best part apart of seeing God's Kingdom grow in my life, has been seeing my wife relax me every day a little more. Our bond has grown so much closer over the last years with her watching me slowly recover. For even as my ugly past came more and more to light, the rage and psychoses began disappearing. Also many triggers, that my past psychotic rages caused between us, Jesus has taken out of the way, one by one. So also where i did not trust her and she did not truast me we more and more touch base and reconcile our monents in His love and truth over us both.

And now also herself with renewed love, faith and hope, digging into The Word like she has never before. Fully understanding why i'm so excited about finding Jesus in my life The Living Word like i have. My wife has always believed in Jesus, but like me has been brought up religiously, and although she has loved Jesus all her life she, like me, did not realise we can get to know Jesus as intimate as this.

Also seeing our daughter, and seven grand kids again, after they been traveling up North all Winter, was great. We spend some great hours together. They are going again today. Back to Perth first for repairs and appointments and then back up North. They want to do some four wheel track near Darwin before they find a place to settle down. Our daughter seems to like Karratha, but her daughter told me that her dad was thinking of traveling over East as well. Not sure when we will see them again.

Broken but Blessed

I hope no one minds me putting a Christian song up here. I don't do it very often as there are two other music threads. I could post on one of them, which is about songs with how you feel. 💚

I love You for deliverance from evil.
I love You for being true and faithful.
I love You for being visible and near.

Hi @heartathome , @DownMoreThanUp , @Appleblossom , @ENKELI , @AlwaysMyself , @REDLINEZ750

John 5

- Jesus back in Jerusalem for a Jewish Festival.

- Jesus heals a man who has been disabled for thirty-eight years. "Pick up your bed and walk!"

- Jews not happy the man is carrying his bed on a Sabbath. "Who told you to carry your bed?"

- The man doesn't know who it was.

- Jesus finds the man in the Temple. "See you are well! Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."

- The man goes to the Jews. It was Jesus who made me well.

- Jews not happy with Jesus because He was violating the Sabbath.

- Jesus replies, "My Father is still working, and I am working also."

- Jews even more unhappy. Jesus violating the Sabbath and calling God His Father.

- Jesus monologue to the Jews:

  • The Son only able to do what He sees the Father doing.
  • For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything He is doing.
  • Father judges no one but has given all judgement to the Son.
  • Anyone who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father Who sent Him.
  • Anyone who hears My word and believes Him Who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgement.
  • I do not seek my own will but the Will of Him Who sent Me.
  • You have John the Baptist's testimony about Me.
  • Even more, the works I do testify about Me.
  • You don't have His Word residing in You, because you don't believe the One He sent.
  • The scriptures testify about Me.
  • You seek one another's glory instead of the glory that comes from God.
  • Moses will accuse you - he wrote about Me.

There was an intimate connection between God and Jesus while Jesus walked the earth. "The Son only able to do what He sees the Father doing." "For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything He is doing."

Re: Christian Chat

Hi @DownMoreThanUp ,

Thanks for taking the time to let us know how you are doing. It sounds amazing. No voices, hallucinations, psychosis, anxiety, rage, and trauma memories. Thank you to Jesus that in moments of doubt, wondering will this last, He gives you confidence.

I hope that the final merging alter IS easier than the others. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of how the meds work; that you will be trying things out without the depression meds and that the calming meds don't work as well when depressed. I hope you find that you really are better - that the psychotic/trauma healing is real and lasting.

Has depression always been a problem? Or does it pass?

I think what you're doing is amazing. Take care and please continue to let us know how it's going.

All the best to you and your beautiful wife.

Hi @heartathome ,

Just a quick hi. Hope you're having a nice peaceful day.🙂

Not much news. I was out and about yesterday - grocery shopping then out with Mum. I think I'm going to spend the afternoon watching a more recent sitcom.

In response to: Re: Christian Chat

Re: Christian Chat

@Realness Thanks for caring.

@heartathome @AuntGlow @Shaz51 @ENKELI @Appleblossom

i think depression has always been an issue in my life, but i have not understood this until much later on in life. As a kid i used to think it was Jesus punishing for my sins. For i feel guilty and ashamed, just i did when my mum scolded me about bad behaviours. (Which she did a lot!) Yet at those times the feelings would just come even if no one had been angry with me but because my mum always made Jesus to be angry with me when she was i thought depressive times were God's way of getting back at me making me feel bad and guilty.

Thinking about my depressive times like that later on, had me after my sexual assault, leave God behind, and even had me very seriously dappling into occultism. For i was convinced Jesus hated me and that i certainly would end up in hell. For clearly God had made me a vessel of dishonour, as i been taught at school and catechism classes, a vessel of dishonour meant.

It was not until i was diagnosed with Schizo effective disorder in 1998 that my understanding of my depressive times was seriously challenged. Which in years to come would lead to the downfall of my life in my religiously ruling alter. As was my life in my paranoid alter to experience unexpected but upside down change. A self which at that time i had dismissed as myself a weasel, and not even worthy of consideration when it came to being acknowledged as self. Let alone as self where i was in need of healing and salvation. And then of course, and at the time worst of all for me in my religious alter, was me being forced to deal with myself in my raging alter. A self i had 'hidden' myself during our 14 years marriage, and suppressed for 7 years self medicating.

However over the years, having to got to know Jesus down deep, depression has no more iron teeth to bite and devour me like it used to. Sure it is not nice feeling down, but i have so much life in that dimension of life, for so much of myself has been shaped by depression, that i have learned to find meaning in my down times finding Jesus as my life source. Knowing He is always on the bottom of things when it comes to us living bad life. This sure has been a real eye opener to me the last 5-6 years or so.

However being bi-polar does mean i have depressive spells, and such times can have me down overall for weeks, months, and even years, but good times will also be during those times, not just feeling down, even though the majority of such times in my depressive days are. This cycling has helped me enormously holding onto my good life when depressive spells come around and as Jesus has been teaching me to do.

Such have been awesome lessons learned. Where before i would be overcome by hopelessness, now i overcome hopelessness with hopefulness, and where in my life i sow my tears, i reap a harvest of Joy, for wherever in depressed life i was unable, in The Spirit of Jesus i'm able. Such are such sweetest Victories during my depressive times. For to See The Living word make my life gone wrong be right has been the most Joyful part of meeting Jesus in His salvation for me.
