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

@AuntGlow Yes He did. The depression had me back in my religious alter yesterday trying to sabotage myself into going back into a do it yourself salvation. To stop being condemned a life that had me lose everything and still believing Jesus was with me. (i can fall big time stopping my meds, and forbidding myself The Word as i live Him 1 John 4. In The past i have had major break downs heeding it.)

@ENKELI Thanks offering your sleep, i did get 4 hours so that is more than double i been getting lately.🤗 (i hope you still got some too😴)

@Appleblossom @heartathome @tyme @Realness

For i deny Jesus paid my price, and demand from myself more than trust in Jesus, and God's Word, to survive my states the old way of obedience through willpower, doctrines, creeds, values and moral adherence to God's truths literally - according to the letter as taught, not The Word lived His grace as i have learned to meet Jesus real life support, and not just a religious person doing the right things but never meet Him.)

And although fighting my down at these levels myself, i'm beginning to be strong enough to resist such unreal demands, but it does not stop it, and then when i begin to attack the very things that have me survive while full on suicidal i know i run greatest risk ever tearing myself to bits.

However Jesus met me after i again declared war on myself, like usual around these themes when depressed and feeling cut of from my faith the Down. For in my religious self i have been the most obnoxious and stubborn not to follow The Word as i have but do it the Church's ways forcing religious performance to be the focus rather than faith, trust and hope i have been surviving on.

In the end The Word met me Matthew 23, placed me in Romans 10 my salvation a religious person, and told me gently to show mercy to myself within myself, rather than let animosity continue ruling the moments my woes. And no longer to believe i had any ground to stand ruling my life misery my religious upbringing and ought to heed Colossians 2:16-23, not believe chapter 3:1-3 will ever arrive not doing not living the verses 4-17 His righteousness within. The amazing part was Jesus all love for me although i had not loved myself much at all in conflict once more, and placed me precisely where i was in my inner world of being The Word He is in Alive in me opening the word when He called me into His presence His Spirit within Romans 10. Crashed exhausted the battle after that and slept 4 hours rock solid and woke up feeling much better recently.👍

i did have a call with our ex foster son who had been waiting for me to call him back for i had been too unwell when he had wanted to speak with me a few days ago. It was good to catch up. And hear how he is keeping himself out of jail the last 6 months on probation. And a date were he was finally going to meet up his two boys after 6 years had been set. As well as discussing how best deal with ourselves in state the trauma of our past, not suppressing, but addressing compulsive issues with the right guidance - e.g Jesus. For he has also been really busy with opening up abut his childhood traumas after all these years hiding it.✌️

Still downish but much more level headed than yesterday's state.

Judged
Oh Judgemental eye you better shudder,
always condemning sin even in the other.
In you merciful love cannot be found,
only an evil eye within roving around.
Crowning wicked eye rule as king within,
creating a wrongful heart heeding sin.
Be warned on The Day of Christ Return
untrue resisting His love will surely burn!

Oh @Appleblossom I know you're very close to your son! I'm sorry to hear about the intense worry you're feeling, not being able to help him! I agree with my psych when he says we're only as well as our sickest child. The faith-based peer support sounds interesting. I hope you find it helpful.

Sending hugs and much love 💚

Psalm 27:14
"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." (NIV)


This verse comes at the end of the psalm, almost like a final encouragement after David has spoken about fear, enemies, uncertainty, and his deep desire to be close to God.


Waiting on God is not passive. It doesn't mean giving up or doing nothing. David encourages us to be strong, to take heart, and to trust that God is still at work even when we cannot yet see the outcome.
For those times when answers seem delayed, when loved ones are struggling, or when the future feels uncertain, this verse gently reminds us:
Hold on. Be courageous. Keep trusting. God has not forgotten you. 💚


Lord, help me to wait on You with courage and patience. Strengthen my heart when I feel weary, and remind me that Your timing is perfect. Teach me to trust You even when I cannot see the path ahead, in Jesus name. Amen. 🙏

@heartathome "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." (NIV)"

So true in my life right now. (i love The Word psalm 27)

@ENKELI @AuntGlow @Appleblossom @tyme

True Love

True love does not prey on those loved,
knowing love is always good enough.

True love holds fast those failing pace,
still loving even cursed to the face.

True love does not accuse forevermore,
no matter how downtrodden or sore.

True love fights lovelessness trying to rob
loved ones away in their worst strop.

True love does not demand perfection,
but cares for those suffering rejection.

True love does not die through malicious lies,
but treasures the tears of truth’s cries.

True love never turns away from the fallen,
but amplifies the voice of love’s calling.

True love will not support anyone loving
any loveless voices when they begin shoving.

True love never speaks an untrue word,
for such expressions love never heard.

True love awaits all those who depart,
hoping true love touches the closed heart.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

— Philippians 4:13

It's a beautiful reminder that our strength doesn't come from ourselves alone, but from Christ's presence with us through whatever we face. 🌷
