Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 68274456 United States 11/18/2018 09:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Romans 7:15-20 New International Version (NIV) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. This is where I'm at. This Bible verse speaks hard to me. |

Quoting: TheBlueOne I want to break the chains of addiction to alcohol, and any other harmful mental habits. There is definitely a curse running in my family from generation to generation. I pray always, but it seems I carried it on. I need prayers. I can't do it on my own anymore. I feel like ill never quit. I quit for a while, then go back. I'm oppressed by the evil around me. I haven't been baptised yet either if that makes any difference. I'm also a bit bipolar. So when I get angry (usually due to things from my past) I say things I dont mean as well as use Gods name in vain. I feel like he'll never forgive me. Thanks ahead.. I don't do prayers. But I wish for you to have the strength to go through the solving of your problems. Be strong and trust yourself to be so ! Last Edited by ^S^ on 11/18/2018 09:58 AM |
Chuck Stargazer User ID: 77127970 United Kingdom 11/18/2018 09:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hear ya OP. I'm stuck at the Romans 7 stage of things. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. It's like I'm being constantly tempted and tested. I know the beautiful timeless spirit of God is all around us, and many many times in recent days I have been filled with His perfect presence, but the closer I get to God, the harder the enemy fights for my attention, and I'm a very weak person, very easily distracted. This battle has been raging on within me for weeks now, but I feel sure I will win in the end, and so will you if you stick firmly to the word of God and get back to it straight after every fall. In this world you will have troubles, but fear not, for I have already overcome the world. |

Miggy User ID: 22845984 United States 11/18/2018 10:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Blue, I want to tell you a brief part of my story. Several years ago I was earning an excellent living in Las Vegas when I learned the man I had loved and adored for the past 30 years had been cheating on me. I was devastated. I had lived a Christian life that entire time- which made it even worse. I didn't understand how a person who loved God, had been saved by Christ, loyally tithed not only my church but also the community as well as the homeless population could be flung to rock bottom. Because drugs were so prevalent in the casinos where I worked it wasn't hard to obtain a lethal dose. The evening I lined up the pills all in a row to consume I spent 20 minutes cursing God. I told him how much I hated him, despised him, loathed him... And it was raw rage filled with pure hatred. I can't tell you all the blasphemous things that I hurled out to him. As I turned to start taking the pills the phone rang and I answered it. A minister from my former church 1,000 miles away (whom I had never spoken with in person) just happened to call and talk with me. If you don't think this was a God-thing with God's perfect timing, I don't know what to tell you. Though he comforted me I told him, "It's too late. You have no idea what I said to Him. It was awful. He'll never forgive me. I told Him I HATED Him and I MEANT it." The minister paused and then said to me with a slight, loving, fatherly laugh: Lynne, Hate is NOT the opposite of love. Indifference is. The fact is that I was brutally honest with God in those desperate hours and as close to Him as I'd ever been. It hasn't been easy these past few years but He is with me every day. If you need to talk further with someone who understands what you're going through please get in touch with me. I think I can help you through this. Love, Miggy |

Beneneth User ID: 76631924 Lithuania 11/18/2018 10:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When you realise this, you can then really begin to hate the addiction. Then you can really sincerely ask God for help to get clean. We are simply not capable of bringing salvation to ourselves. Only God can do that. The fact that you are grieving as you do for the state of your current existence is a pretty certain recognition that you are not meant for this world. You are one of God's, and he is calling you. Whilst we can fail to bring ourselves to God, he will not fail. Have confidence in his power, not your own. Blessing brother, your real life has begun Jesus is Lord |

Just wow.... His timing is perfect.... My problem too is that I married a man who is the master of mental mindf**kery. He is trying to change, truly. But he is what he is. I didn't realize until I was in too deep what he was.... It eats me alive. He takes great care of me and is an excellent lover, but once again, he can't stop himself sometimes from his nature. Think yin and yang, beauty and the beast. He's told me he doesn't think I'm on God's radar at all because of how much I've sweared. He doesnt recognize my gift and doesn't seem to understand. I think he does understand, but his demons wont let him go to the light fully. What I married into is eating me slowly. This world has outcast me too. I have no voice in this world. Out of all people I even tried to talk to my uncle one time about people that were following me. I was treated like a paranoid liar. Before I even got a word out, his first words were, that Jesus shit isnt going to save you. I had said nothing about Jesus. It was a direct attack. Noone listens to me, or believes me. Even though I try to always tell the truth. How much longer can us believers be in this world, there is nothing for us here :'( I'm tired of being a crybaby. I just want to meet Jesus already. I want him to hold me. Im a tough bitch yet such a little crybaby. Im done venting I'm sorry im being weak. Thank you guys for being there for me , you have no idea how much it helps. |

I would recommend Christian Orthodoxy, in spite schisms and divisions may try to stop from it. Individual Faith and Spiritual Journey and experience is more important than religion. After baptism, make a Spiritual Pilgrimage into Holy Places, where Ancient and still active Monasteries. While doing it get rid off all drugs prescribed by doctors and it will make easier to get rid off alcohol too. As a matter of fact, my friend did that and voila, miracle happened. Man with complicated case of bipolar mixed with schizophrenia is now healthy looking and absolutely off drug and alcohol. God's Blessings with You! My prayers |
