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

@heartathome i'm glad it was a helpful thing for you to read also. 😊. But do remember there is absolutely a natural God-designed need for us to connect and love too. But often our need for external love and how we seek it can be overwhelming when we do not first have self-love, self-acceptance, etc.

But it doesnt mean we can't also have friends and loved ones help us walk the path of discovering ourselves, making friends with ourselves, and learning to love ourselves. Sometimes friends are placed well to do this through reminding us of our strengths during our darkest moments when it is hardest for us to see them ourselves. 🥰.

I see the issue being around "dependency" - and hence the need vs want. Want is very healthy and natural 😊. And yes longterm there is need too for connection.

I know some people who cannot spend even 1 day by themselves, or even an hour without a mental escape for their own self (i.e. need to seek distraction from "sitting with themselves").

Re: Christian Chat

@ENKELI Thank you sharing and connecting.

Yes you are right about what you say. Letting go is hard. Especially TREASURE.

Now Jesus taught me a trick about this that really works well getting rid of that overloaded mind and emotional feelings.

@AlwaysMyself @AuntGlow @Realness @heartathome @Appleblossom

Each feeling offer (HEAVE your trobles to Heaven) through Jesus to God/The Truth and forgive (WAVE yourself God's grace) yourself where you did not. ( Leviticus 7 explains a lot of this process in a short bit but the whole cleansing of sin BAD LIFE/WRONG/SIN is described in detail in this bible book read spiritual to ones own inner world of being. Undiscovered really.)

This will bring His peace, comfort and ability to handle the pain or loss. So your desire to have those things IS NOT WRONG but how you want it is for it hurts you.

So, as i know you know, place your treaure in Heaven. To mean that means Lord my desire is.......... but YOU are God YOU decide teach me YOUR WILL and WAYS about this and AWAIT the inner TURMOIL to pass and clarity with or without desire comes your way. Never HEED shame, guilt, passion, urges, must dos, need to promise, or deny ourselves our desire - (unless of course the BAD LIFE wants to physically harm you, or any others physically or emotionally. ( Then you stone such crap to death in you straight await, not weak you needing relief but the emotion/urge/demand/must making it like that)) Only then i say in Jesus/The Truth's name i ask.

Works a wonder if persisting till all activated life/emotions are dead and new life/ability has grown instead.

This how Jesus got me out of my pit all these years ago. Loving me away from my own loveless heart.

True story!😁

Re: Christian Chat

@AlwaysMyself Yes a lot of people struggle to understand this.

@ENKELI @AuntGlow @Realness @heartathome @Appleblossom

i will try and explain The evil voices are realities NOT people but what my fears made of seeing sheets moving the draft in the place i slept at the time. A big open space my mum used to hang the washing up if it rained outside (i come from the Nederlands, so a lot of those times sheet hang on the second floor all winter basically.)

Our house had a very COLD heartless aura at the time. For mum and dad were always fighting. As my dad had been brought up by a tyrant and thought that is how we ought to go to but mum did not like it.

i pick up such aura straight away having been given the ability to discern spirits/spirituality, i thin all schizophrenic people do.

Anyhow for a very long time a FREAKED THOSE EVIL SPIRITS which was mainly in much darkness and my childish mind changed to real realities. (which they are but not like that)

So evil voices talk all day and are NOT self talk or say things you think of yourself, but they might spring your greatest fear on you when you get a fright or unguarded moment. My whole experience had to so with my inability to get away from my fears and suppressing them for i had to have faith. My psychologist is sure that is how it would have gone. I'm observing, i was not sure but it does sound pretty accurate to how it is.

So if someone says something nasty you get thoughts and feelings triggered by that right? Now i have that as well. All healthy peole do. But i also heard negative/evil talk 24/7 no matter what. at peace or not those voices always stayed doing their thing.

Only later on in life did the voice appear with faces of those supposed saying this or not.

So it are NOT emotions firing my thoughts and feeling wildly, that only comes afterwards, but badly gone wrong evil sensations of harm done to me as well as suffering harm laying their trying not to feel scared of those sheets and the big unsafe place.

In the end when peolpe talked to me, i ALWAYS saw evil spirits laughingly announce the trigger coming, or the evil they love to see happen to them, and then have my loved one loose it big time the evil i put in them psychotically trying to warn them about it all these years ago ALWAYS DRIVING US APART! The voices never participated with when emotional, neither angry or loving, but were always in opposition and making my every thought observation hurt them. (just thinking about and i begin to cry again.)

More trauma, more evil, that is how those voice grew into the monsters they became in my head. For as you know i have a paranoid alter and the spirits used to freak me so badly i could faint the fears, although i never wet myself, for then i would have to go down stairs and i be in trouble a kid. So i learned to pee and poo (peeing i could upstairs in a potty but usually i was far to scared to get out of bed) all before going to bed.

THE VOICES ARE STILL GONE HAD NONE SINCE JESUS FREED ME.

i hope this makes sense some sense now.

Re: Christian Chat

@AuntGlow thanks honey, I am in a fortunate situation where I don't have to worry about rent or a mortgage as I paid out my mortgage last year, and I won my car outright as well. Once probate passes I will also have a decent inheritance that I can use to do renovations on my house as well as take a couple of holidays. From 2015 - 2023 I was financially supporting my ex friend and her 2 children so I didn't get to take holidays or do anything for myself - I was paying for them to do those things. I don't begrudge doing it, it was what God led me to do. The heartbreak is that my friend no longer speaks to me and I lost my Godchildren (her 2 kids).

Money has never meant much to me, we grew up just on the poverty line, I had some really healthy financial years at Telstra and I still toss up whether I should have resigned when I did even 18 years later.

What I want is to have my house in good condition, to be able to spend money on my family and to have a holiday every now and then.

The guilt I carry is not working, not because I have debt but because I feel like a burden on tax payers because I am on Centrelink. Hopefully this course will allow me to apply for less toxic positions.

Re: Christian Chat

@DownMoreThanUp I forwarded that song on to a young girl I know who struggles with self esteem. I hope she listens to it, it is beautiful, emotional and yes, we all need to realise our worth.

Thank you

Re: Christian Chat

@AlwaysMyself thanks honey. After I have completed the records management course I am going to be enrolled in Medical Records. My cousin also has offered assistance too. I forget where she works but she said there are always records jobs coming up.

I will definitely look you up when it comes time to apply for a job thank you xoxo

Re: Christian Chat

@DownMoreThanUp thanks again for sharing a part of your journey. I have a smile as my random playlist just started playing Megan Woods when I started typing this message.

I am particularly emotional at the moment and tears are flowing freely but it's not sadness, it's the realisation that Jesus loves me even though I don't.

Take care and again, thank you my dear brother xoxo

Re: Christian Chat

Thank you @DownMoreThanUp i really appreciate your explanation. I know what you mean by the "feel" of a place sometimes.

Constant spiritual-voices must be so tiring to have all the time, trying to tune them out and ignore them.

@ENKELI i dont resent you being on centrelink. Especially not when you've been so generous caring for others too. And all those years you did work? You also paid taxes which in turn supported people too. 🤗

Re: Christian Chat

@AlwaysMyself thank you for saying that, it's nice to hear a positive especially when I'm so emotional at the moment.

@DownMoreThanUp @AuntGlow @Realness @heartathome

I have this as my ring tone -

This song is on regular rotation (and up loud - sorry not sorry to the neighbours!) in my house.

We are ALL children of God, chosen, not forsaken
