Hello Guys,

i am reading God's words more and i am trying to find praise and worship songs and i am going through my steps. let me share something i have been experiencing, i have not been to church in over 10 years..its more but let use 10. I went to church on Good Friday. I also wanted to go to church on April 1, 2012, that the day i started on this site, i could not find anyone to go with me, so i did not go. I told a friend that we would go to church this Sunday and she agreed, Sunday morning i got up and cooked dinner decided to listen to a sermon while cooking, so i went on the internet and found one of TD Jakes sermon on forgiveness, 2 hours but i was motivated to forgive and was feeling some release. did not have any company again but i went to church..Guess what was the message..Forgiveness...so i had to laugh in church and look up and asked him if he thought i was a slow learner. Came home guess what was on oprah life lesson forgiveness. I dont need any more signs that this message was for me. when i got home guess what happened, i broke my key in my lock and could not get into my houses for hours. i did not get upset

another observation, i think my eyes and ears are being opened to a lot of things...the devil is alive and he is so evil that he would use any method to get to you and sometimes he uses people and sometimes he uses you, your thoughts..give him any room and he takes it. I think the breaking of my keys on sunday was to frustrate me and make me regret going to church i was not fazed one bit. tonight i am reading step three and the thoughts that went through my mind, i so know it was the devil. i had to rebuke him.

i think my eyes are opened to the fact that we are fighting against principalities and power, and that sometimes people are being used to offend you without them even being aware of it.. sorry for the long ranting, but i thought i would just share that.

good night guys

And it was a good ranting.

thanks for sharing empressnic
It makes me feel that I am not alone ... I to have not been to church in a while, and find it hard to get someone to go with me.... its seems people are just tired of all the "how spiritual u need to look" stuff, but as we know God does not look at the outside....and we dont loose our ticket to Heaven for not attending church services.....but..I will say we do need fellowship with other Christians... keep on keepn on!
