Christianity Oasis Member Forum & Chat Room

The new way of life designed for the overcomer's and ones that have the want to to change and become whole again begins by admitting and making a decision to take action. God requires us to seek and and search. This is above prayer. We are to Work at changing through the steps mentioned in this forum. I encourage all who have participated in the 14 day Cool Christian Counseling program to do so. The journey to becoming whole is work and you'll be amazed how How will enlighten you and feel His presence in your lives as you grow closer to Him. I encourage all who have these addictions to clean house and realize God's forgiveness and you can start fresh daily.
I want to also say I', working out of town during the week but am able to check Forums and PM's. So, I'm not far away. One more thing........ I miss you alot and are in my prayers and thoughts. Why? I set my affections on things above and not things on earth. Worldly thing chokes the Word and it becomes unfruitful. I care and God's love is shed abroad in my heart. I let Him.
I still feel will feel so much better if they share themselves in Forums. This is a way to houseclean and get rid of guilt. I care as well as many others here and my personal goal is to see you smile one day consistently and God smiling at both of us. I'm just Real ya know. Luv ya.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change

the courage to change the things that I can

and the wisdom to know the difference

It works if you work it

Amen

realtmg and follower of jesus:
You guys always enourage me when I read things you have posted. Keep it up. Lives can be changed....you are living proof of that.

Sassy. Thanks for the comment. But I want you to know that we have allowed God to have His will in our lives on a daily basis. We have come thus far only by His Grace and power. I take no credit. The life I now live is through Christ, Who loved me and gave Himself for me. We are just grateful and humble servants who by His blood, gave us another life and a better way to live. I am no longer in bondage to this behavior , yet, I treat it everyday with His Word and by yielding to Him. We all have choices to make everyday. I rely and trust in Him to help me. I try to die to SELF daily. Thanks Sis. Luv Ya. Real.

Nobody ever said obedience was gonna be easy... or that daily death wouldn't be painful.

I got to the place where I knew I couldn't continue on the endless cycle of falling and struggling to get up and beating myself up so bad I didn't have the power to stand anymore and thus falling all over again.

It never mattered that my behavior was self-destructive because I had no love for myself; in my eyes I was only getting the punishment I knew I deserved. But God in His grace and mercy said.. Jesus already took care of this at the cross.

When I finally accepted that He loves me unconditionally, not because of anything I do or don't do but because that's His character, I moved into an environment of love in which i could begin to heal. When fear tries to press it's way in, it is overcome with obedience empowered by the love.
