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 🙂

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

John 6

- A great crowd follows Jesus.

- Jesus feeds the 5,000.

- Jesus teaching:

  • Don't work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life.
  • This is the work of God - that you believe in the One He has sent.
  • I am the bread of life.
  • Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never cast out.
  • For this is the will of My Father: that every one who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I will raise [them] up on the last day.
  • I am the living bread that came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this bread [they] will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.
  • The one who eats my flesh and drinks ... remains in Me, and I in [them].

- Many turn from Jesus at this teaching.

- Jesus asks the Twelve if they want to leave.

- Simon Peter: "Lord, to whom will we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know that You are the Holy One of God."

Hi @DownMoreThanUp ,

Sorry for the slow response. Thanks for sharing so thoughtfully how depression has impacted your life. It's great that it nolonger has the iron teeth it use to have. I'm thinking it is because you're able to live in the Spirit - does that sound right?

Your story is worthy of a book.

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

John 7

- Jesus in Galilee.

- Jewish Festival of Tabernacles.

- Jesus goes to the Festival later, low key, after His brothers.

- Halfway through Jesus starts teaching in the Temple.

- Jews amazed at His teaching - He's never studied.

- Jesus' teaching:

  • My teaching isn't mine but is from the One Who sent Me.
  • You think it okay to circumcise on the Sabbath (to keep Moses' Law) but you're upset with Me because I healed a man on the Sabbath.
  • If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. The one who believes in Me ... will have streams of living water flow from deep within [them]. (Refers to the Holy Spirit which would be given when Jesus was glorified.)

- Many in the crowd believed in Him: When the Messiah comes, he won't perform more signs that this man has done, will he?

- Pharisees send Temple Police to arrest Jesus.

- Temple Police don't arrest Jesus - no one ever talked like this Man talks.

The gift of the Holy Spirit - streams of living water flowing from deep within us.

Hi @heartathome ,

Thanks for posting Zephaniah 3:17. Are you resting in His love today?

How are things? You're been quiet and I miss you.

(No pressure - whenever you have the time or are ready.)

Re: Christian Chat

@Realness Isn't it wonderful that salvation streams? Indeed, like salvation Himself, Joy, love, truth, unity all flow like a river within, when we analysis the emotion.

Christ's Living Waters sure bring a lot of inner goodness about don't you reckon?

About writing a book. i have always wanted to do that, and once i did, my wife, older kids, pastor, and friend read the manuscript at the time. But when i fell in my religious alter the manuscript got burned also my journals, and almost all of my poems. i think only my account on wrong spirituality within the believers hearts, and two of my poems survived. (And that was only because i did not delete the emails i had send years before to my pastor sharing this information.)

However that book was more aimed at the hopelessness of young people living on the streets and getting into drugs, crime and/or sex industry. The book i would love to write now would be about the fate of mental ill people within the Christian religion as is taught and how Jesus will come and put everything upside don to how religious people have made it to be having The Spirit of Jesus have us reborn into The Eternal Word of God in real time and space.

However i fear that depression will have to pass, or i have to become a lot stronger and still remain creative, stimulated and energetic enough to write consistently when depressed. i have absolutely no creative bone in me when depressed. i always write all my poems after depression had been, never when depressed.

The book i wrote, years ago, i wrote in a very short time, manic like anything, completely un-medicated, and basically no sleep for i could not stop thinking about what to write next.My wife and kids were very happy when i finished the book, i remember that, for i would not stop talking about my book. i literally drove them nuts as well my wife told me later, i think i ended up in hospital not all that long there after.

So i do not if i will be able to end up writing a book.😀

@heartathome @AuntGlow @Shaz51 @ENKELI @Appleblossom

i hope life has been treating you all well?

i have been rather down the last days. It has been a bit of a mission to keep going. Yet i managed to design a flow reduction valve that works. i have bought three valves over the last 6 months. The first two were cheapies from Ebay, totally useless, but the final one i bought from a farm supplier and cost me near 70 bucks, yet also that failed, just like the cheaper ones did before.

The problem was that when the valve would not work i would loose a lot of water, once near a 1000 litres, for i did not notice the valve had failed before bed. Luckily the fish survived. So i have been planning to make my own valve, knowing what the issues with the others is, for some time, but have been too unwell to do. Yet i got it up and running, and it works good so far.😁 Without any chance of my valve failing where the others did, for i used a different concept than they did. However shortcomings may still pop up over the next weeks or so.

i will have to wait and see but i'm glad i got it done.😀

Re: Christian Chat

Hi @DownMoreThanUp ,

Thanks for sharing about the book you did write. That would be annoying to then destroy it as a different alter.

It sounds like a next book may be some time off. The fate of mentally ill people within the Christian religion as it is taught would be a valuable book.

To turn things upside down to the Spirit of Jesus in real time and space. Us reborn into The Eternal Word of God.

The book I thought you might be able to write is the union of alters.

Recently I have been thinking about going to church and why it use to be easy and now is more difficult. I think most human interactions are at a ego construct level. Including Christian fellowship at church. When things go wrong and people are forced to live life at a spirit level - like with complex mental health conditions and labels - the ego constructs can be ripped away. I feel like I don't have an ego construct anymore. To walk into church now I can't play the ego construct game.

I also have the problem of a lack of energy - a side effect of the medication - but I think I would force myself if I had a better life to present to people. Somehow walking into church at purely a spirit level feels too vulnerable.

I'm so thankful I'm a reader and The Holy Bible exists. And so thankful for the Spirit and how complete I feel when I read The Holy Bible - especially The New Testament. As you say Christ's Living Waters do bring a lot of inner goodness.

Re: Christian Chat

I have someone on my mind @Realness . My psych tells me I'm trauma bonding. My son is worried. It's so intoxicating. I don't feel like I can discuss it with anyone yet, especially on a public forum (except my psych).

I've been speaking to @MissGremlin and she has said that she is open to prayer and we could pray for her, if you're not already. @DownMoreThanUp @ENKELI @Appleblossom . Let's reach out and support her in prayer. 💚
