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 🙂

@DownMoreThanUp

Thanks for the feedback. You're right I skimmed over I Peter 1:23 "For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and imperishable word of God."

I Peter is densely written. It is hard to summarise. There are other themes I skimmed over also. I try to keep it positive and not too theologically detailed.

Hi everyone,

You may have noticed the Christian Chat thread was temporarily locked over the weekend. We have reviewed the content and are pleased to let you know it is now reopened.

At SANE Forums, we have an unwavering commitment to ensuring this remains a safe, respectful, and welcoming space for all. As a community, we wanted to take this moment to gently reflect on our Community Guidelines together, particularly around engaging respectfully with one another, even when we hold different views.

i have been feeling much improved from where i have been. Thanks praying folks👍

One of the first poems i penned about the time i heard The Spirit's Voice speaking to my heart The Truths Of God's Word. (The last verse was added a few years ago.)

Spirit’s Comfort

The Spirit whispers deep within me,
“Please do not fear evil’s cruelty.
Christ by His blood has set you free;
Come along and walk with Me eternally.

Though wicked ones strike out in envy,
In Me you walk the way of God’s decree.
For as surely as I live, you shall see
All your enemies’ final destiny.
This shall prove your Saviour’s victory:
Jesus Christ alive in you shall be.”

(My response to the truth speaking.)

I tremble, totter, and I shake;
My lips they quiver, and I quake.
What can I say to Him, my Lord,
Who brings the wicked to His sword?
What can I do but kneel in awe
My new life in the Spirit I saw.

(The outcome of His truth speaking that day! (added many years later.))

The life I live today, He showed
Many years ago upon this road.
Though many sins dragged me below,
The Spirit showed what I would know.
Christ’s own life replacing my iniquity,
For only in Him dawns true liberty.
And even as His love washes wrong away,
God is building His kingdom day by day.
Now I live more fully what once was shown,
His Life replacing the bad life I had grown.
For the New life The Spirit prophesied above:
God remade me through Christ's saving love.

Questions To Christ's Forgiven Bride.
When will been forgiven by Christ be forgiven enough?
When will more room remain for healthy growth in love?
When does Isaiah 53 still speak His sacrifice our blame?
When will suffering past wrong no more carry our name?

Lord Jesus, how can the forgiveness we received from You?
Be year by year withheld by judgemental accusations too?
How long must forgiven keep carrying past sin in shame?
When will Your righteousness be all believers Surname?

How come grave-digging remains for many their choices?
Where past wrongdoings nourishes condescending voices?
Deliberate avoid contact those not free from sinful needs?
While self-righteously forgiving their own daily sinful deeds?

When Lord will believers let forgiving love kindle Your flame?
Allow God's merciful love to hand fallen ones a new name?
How long will His Word's urgent warning tone be ignored?
Judgement, even unspoken, His grace for us has floored?

Proverbs 29.25 (ICB):

“Being afraid of people can get you into trouble.

But if you trust the Lord, he will protect you.”

A gentle summary:

This verse reminds us that living in fear of what others think can trap us and weigh us down. But trusting God brings safety, steadiness, and peace. His guidance is stronger than people’s opinions or pressures.

Proverbs 29:25 (NIV)

“Fear of man will prove to be a snare,

but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.”

Biblical summary:

This proverb teaches that when we become controlled by fear of people — their approval, rejection, opinions, or threats — it can trap us spiritually and emotionally. But placing our trust in God brings security and freedom. The verse points believers back to faith over fear, reminding us that God’s protection and guidance are more dependable than human acceptance.

Thanks @heartathome for your post.

I prepared a longish post on I John but lost it when I tried to post it. I still have my notes - maybe I will post it later.

Hope everyone is having an okay day.

Sad news. My wife and me too felt it was needed, for us to cut off altogether. Numb the rawness of it.

Me sharing how she could help from afar keeping the connection between us open had her call my emotional needs for to open and transparent about her feelings communicating good and bad - crap - and promptly cut connection all together. Also our counselling meeting in half a hour about this she counselled.😭 Every time i mention my side this is what has happened.

It is going to be harder getting through this. Yet in many ways i also feel relieved for i already kind of knew it was like this our triggers over the years, and then seeing her manipulate me total isolation and cut off. Not her 'normal' self, ore maybe more correctly the way i understand her hid her true self and is not prepared to see me or give me even normal times together any more. Like her chats to me, apart of any running the place stuff, only if i did. She used to check in on me a few days a day. Just to say hi and i her. Yet asking why this had to be and how that related to us she would not answer. Confusing me enormously for as na em-path i had struggled to understanding these 'anti me' emotions coming from her for the last 30 years. i understood why. but didn't to know why she would not be open about that, or what she was then thinking. For i might feel emotions content, sad, grieving, upset, happy, trusting or disbelieving, but this does not mean i have any idea what she is thinking about what, or even if such emotions are aimed at me. While the the voices often commenting what she did think, which now she, has been doing, while i still disbelieve the voices but she did really nullify my greatest need at a critical time and left me literally on my own.

We both are seeing very clearly this is not going to work out as we are trying to do. With me trying to get better and struggling to settle and catch sleep hoping for improved connection. And her saying that was crap! When such are the most important things our relationship as far as i am concerned. i have taken her needs and desires as well as weaknesses into account, been trying hard at least, why can't she? Such are the hard questions i have been struggling with.

This is why we broke up. i will still try to heal and write my book. And i hope she also will continue work on her issues. i said when you are ready to come come and talk you know where i live.i do not hope she ever will. That is much safer than holding on to her who is no

more there for me. i must have sucked her totally dry emotionally my need for her over the years. i know i did not now. i told her it would help me is he did.

Now i have no one who supports me no more, Church has been in contact but supports have been not given only when repentantly begged for and then just an one off, he should be happy now for a bit. And i hate asking people when i struggle, it can get loud and wild.

Hard to come to grips with right now. To let forgiveness rule all of my family and especially for myself is needed big time now next time i awake in STATE.However i think that this only is for as long as i cannot sleep her breaking away has been helping although a lot of nausea and praying to stay connected to let thoughts pass not run with them until i'm more stable and have had more sleep.

Please pray for me and us.

Made it through the night without rage and sleep 6 1/2 hours. Needed to take more sleepers to get it, but maybe for a few days i can get away with doing that. as far as i'm concerned sleep is number 1 now. Very down tho. and old psychosis been pushing hard for 'all of this i have seen' as part of a psychosis - my family leaving me - and then me dying during that time - and so much more. We even had thunder and lightening last night - all part of the same vision. Not scared - but wanting it to be - but knowing when psychotic thoughts push i'm on the edge. Luckily the oil i have been using has proven to keep these urges from escalating ever since i have been taking it. i have also got a re feral to a psych that can help me to gain what i need to keep the voices (about 80 percent) and the rage (between 60-100 percent, unless focused on the voices as the devil) down prior to psychosis.

Going to be full on if i drop much lower. Jesus has been very close. Every pushy though - good or bad - i try to share with Him.

Mourning my family deeply. But also happy i can let them go. The strain to try and hold onto them had become impossible my wife lying about us and herself like she has for so many years. She being truthful, although bad news, i kind of guessed by what she had been doing - breaking down contact more and more - very much unlike her normal self.

Also interesting how she again counselled counselling i rift - because it would have been focussed on more stability for me her effort. i asked for a restoration of at least normal contact not just good morning with love hearts and good night for i did but nothing much else. She has never needed to treat me like that. Or discussed her feeling the need to do that. All she has done is blame for all her actions while i was trying flat out to please her every demand she has made the last 5 years - and she has not even given me one of my requests however small.

So hard to realise she lied to me about who she was underneath her sweet smile. However knowing she does because of my own psychotic outrage makes it easier to forgive, the betrayal and total isolation remains tho.😢

The Geese (12) are very noisy my wife does not want them killed or take them away so she told me to stop feeding them so they leave by themselves. They have been calling me all morning. Hopefully they wont stay too long fro they make it impossible to sleep during the day. Fowls not too bad yet but in Winter they are the same.

Seeing my counsellor at 5 pm

@moderator Not sure you can help . i could not login with recovery either. i reinstall my operating system and now my login wont work. not sure how to go about that still have two sessions left.
