Satan wants me back

Postby myshepherd » Fri Dec 28, 2007 5:27 am

Hello brothers and sisters,
I have been here for about 2months now. Not long before i found this Oasis, i had just recently recommitted to Christ. Not long before that I was putting finishing touches on busted marriage.Drugs pornography,illussions that Bipolar meant Hurt those you love and they will understand because im (sick).I had been reintroduced to Jesus bout 3 years ago at a christian rehab,and i played along knowing all along i wasnt serious about turnin to God.My brother killed himself not long after that,and i really fell apartseeing as most everyone that knew the both of us ,had me figured as most likely to do that.I lost what little faith i had and i even (caused/let it all)cause my children to lose faith.
Life had driven me to my knees,literally.well i quit doing the things i needed to for my family and 2 years rushed up on me and ...they're gone.
I could have never imagined staying to see how the rest of this life turned out having always considered my life tragic. It kinda seems like a dream actually,and i think back just a few months.I turned it over to Jesus in complete suicidal fog'/haze.Since then PRAISE God... I have been church hoppin to find one i spiritually feel i belong ,and coming to christianity oasis as often as time allows.
But it seems /satan is not giving me up to easily ,as he continually puts doubtin my head of not fitting in here at oasis or,church leader is jerkin me around about helping me on some ministry ideas.He even attacks my dreams,and i wake to foul moods and doubts. So ... i pray ,and i volenteer at churches ,and i pray,and i come here to this oasis,and i pray, i figure Satan will give up before God does. well i guess i kinda over shared there so ill close this for now thank you for reading.

your brother and friend

Hello MyShepherd,

I read your blog and noticed you had stated" Satan Wants me back"

Well first of all I think you know but I want to tell you its not our job to give Satan what he wants Amen?

However I think it's good that you are fighting the good fight, one thing you could try is anytime Satan implants thoughts of doubt in your head,,just say I rebuke that thought in the Name of Jesus, that is not God. You don't want anything coming into the Temple of God that in not God. Anything else will just poison what you and God has established.

The verse to remember is Phililipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me

Be Blessed my friend and stay close to him

Myshepherd,

Just Remember Satan is full of lies, his job is to lie. We have something better to rely upon and that is Jesus. He is always there, you just have to lay all your problems at his feet. Don't ever begin to believe that you can't make it over the rocks Satan puts in your path, because Jesus will lift you up and carry you, if you will just let him. I'm praying for you.

Take care and God Bless

Hello MyShepherd,

God Bless you.

Oh how I love when one of His children brings out something from the dark crevices of their mind and allows His light to shine upon it.

Sooooo, you were a "player", huh? and atop of that -- you were a "manipulator", huh? And right now, just reading the words, makes your skin crawl and yet, seeing those words typed by another makes your flesh feel a little defensive? PLEASE NOTE THE WORD "WERE". You are not any longer. God has released you from that tag, by shining His light on it. Praise God, Thank You Jesus!!!

You have begun your spiritual walk. Your spirit man is alive and well. God talks to your spirit man -- that little child within you. And God the Father, Jesus the Son -- Saviour Jesus, and The Holy Spirit communicate with and strengthen your spirit man.

On the other hand, satan tries to strengthen your flesh man -- the one you've operated in for most of your life. That is why it is so important to lay down your flesh man and live out your life in your spirit man. Put on that full armour of God. Renew your mind daily -- connect with The Holy Spirit. Call out to Him: "Holy Spirit, please help me here. Please, in the name of Jesus, help me."

MyShepherd, I am so very excited for you. God has such a beautiful plan for you. Call out to Him. Allow Him to continue to love you and to give you His peace and His joy. Ask The Holy Spirit to give you a passion for His Word/The Bible. His Word is food for your spirit man. Eat up, dear brother in Christ, eat up. (Be sure to read Romans, chapter 7) Yummy food for our spirit man.

I'm so happy God led you here to Christianity Oasis. He led me here in October of 2005 and here I am still. :)

It is wonderful to get to know you, and a blessing to be a part of your walk with God.

God bless you, Myshepherd
