Christianity Oasis Member Forum & Chat Room

I spent today trying to figure out these message boards and how all the threads or posts or whatever worked because i really didn't understand it all. As I went through the message boards i realized the biggest lie of the enemy that I had believed for so long. As I read the posts in all the rooms I realized I wasn't alone and I wasn't the only one. How I identified with all of you in all the rooms !!!. I had believed I was the worst, and that I was alone, and that nobody would understand, and that nobody could help me. I certainly could not tell anyone in the church because...what would they say??? Appearances after all have to be kept up. I have been alcoholic most of my life. A periodic drunk as they would call it in A.A. rooms for most of my life. My longest period of sobriety 18 months. now its 13 days. Sexual sin...i know a good deal about that one too. I read and studied my Bible, I prayed, I went to church, I read spiritual books and books on doctrine. I called myself a Christian because i truly do believe that Jesus is the son of God, died for my sins and rose on the 3rd day, and sits at the right hand of God. But i never turned my life over to Him and the enemy used that truth to base the lie that i was the things I said before. These past 10 days are turning my life around. I can feel it inside me. Please continue to pray for me. It gives me a lot of hope to know that you are praying and I believe your prayers are helping. I'll be posting now in some of the other forums sharing experience, strength, and hope as the saying goes. Even now the enemy is trying to tell me you won't accept and help me and that i won't make it...he never gives up. But now I know he is lying to me because god led me to this site where you all helped open my eyes. Home at Last

Welcome to Christianity Oasis. You most certainly are one of us. All of us together as brothers and sisters in Christ. All fighting the fight against the enemy of our souls. None of us are perfect, all of us have made mistakes that we aren't proud of, but one thing is for certain, we are all sinners saved by the Grace of God. The Lord's sacrifice was for us all. So welcome and please never feel like you don't belong here. Blessed to have you here and I will pray for you in all you are going through.

Sincerely,

Breezy

Humblevisitor,
Hi and welcome. I attended church for the 1st time in years yesterday and they have prayed over me and told me that by turning my life over to Jesus all my past sin is left behind.
God understands the struggle you have faced with your addiction so ask him to guide you and have the faith to know that he will.
I have some really hard stuff going on in my life at the moment, but God gives me the strength to get through each day.
I am fairly new to all this so don't know the best words to say and the right quotes from the bible but my prayers are with you.
I hope to see you on chat sometime soon.
Jay
