I am not sure where to post this. I have been posting in different forums different things. I am finding myself feeling convicted and ashamed of things in the past. Even in chat there was one little trigger. I know God has forgiven me and He richly blesses me everyday. But yet i still feel under attack everyday. I am trying to replace a negative thought with a positive thought which is helping some. I havent quite found my niche here, but i have found everyone to be so kind with good instruction and i have learned alot since joining and continue to learn everyday. Sometimes i feel myself surrounded by darkness. Sometimes the light is so bright that I am just in awe of God. There are so many facets of life, i guess God is polishing me to shine one day. And satan tries to rob me of that. God is indeed gracious.. bless u all for sharing with me..

goldie my sis *hug* :)

My dear sweet singing sister. Let me first say how thankful I am that our Lord led you here. He always does what He does for a reason :)

We will hear many voices. But only one is of God. The Holy Spirit convicts us, in a way that will bring about change. As we are growing in the Lord, our old actions will no longer be ok, cuz we are learning Truth, which will help us recognize what is His will and what isnt, and this knowledge will help to become more like Jesus. This change is necessary. This is the rebirth of our new lives in Christ. It is a continuous process.

The enemy however, will try to whisper in your ears, trying to make u think that cuz u arent perfect, you dont deserve Grace, and happiness and love etc. He will try to get you to live in guilt and shame and in the past.

That is why it is so important to make sure that you reject his lies, and listen only to the voice of God.

None of us are perfect, and God knows this. But in His loving Grace and mercy, He helps us recognize what needs to be changed, and shows us the way to fix it.

Attacks are gonna come our way. I dont think they will ever stop, but we have been given what you need to fight back. Put on the armor of God and trust in Him. The battle has already been won by Jesus :)

2 Cor 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Glad you are here goldie *hug*

May you continue to seek His will in your life *JesusSign*

luv u sis,
lizzie

Goldie, did you know that God loves peculiar people? It is sometimes difficult for us as Christians to find our fit in the world, but I want you to know that each person makes up a part of the Body of Christ. And as Oasis would say, even the rump is an important part, cuz if we didn't have the rump we would be full of it. So sis, I say to you, maybe you haven't figured out what part of the Oasis family you fit into best, but I'm so glad to call you my sister.

I know things aren't easy for you today, and you are searching for some peace. May I suggest you try the Christian Counseling Program here, to help you along your journey? It's an awesome program, and has helped many find themselves, as well as it will help strengthen your relationship with the Lord. Here's the link. http://www.christianityoasis.com/CCCC/Forum.htm

You are in my prayers goldie, and if you ever need someone to talk with, just send me a private message.

luv ya *hug*
