S.O.S.

This forum is for those souls 18 years and older who are dealing with some type of addictive behavior whether it be from alcohol, drugs, overeating, fear, worry, sex, etc. Only with help and guidance from God can we ever hope to overcome these addictions. What is impossible for us to do IS POSSIBLE with God. Friends and family of those stricken with addictions are welcome to share as this problem affects more than just the soul entangled in its web.

S.O.S.

Hello everyone,
I have developed a profound fear and distrust of the human race. I would rather speak in spiritual terms (as is more acceptable) than to be honest. Can you honestly say that I can tell you who I am, and express my numerous weaknesses without your judging me in some way?? It is a straight (not sarcastic) question, and I ask it because I see God as my only hope, but I am so turned of by others' judgement. Please think about it and respond. Thank You

Hello Believer1017,

God bless you this day.

II Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

I would suggest you read some of the Studies, here on this site. Here's a link to a huge list of Studies:
http://www.christianityoasis.com/Keywor ... tudies.htm

Also, within that list, I would suggest reading studies on The Holy Spirit. There are many: from short to long studies, and a couple that are to be done over several days.

Jesus said He would send Another -- The Comforter, The Holy Spirit, Counselor, Spirit of Truth. All who have accepted Christ Jesus as their personal Saviour, have the indwelling of The Holy Spirit. Getting to know Him, is extremely important.

I'm praying for you. God's blessed will be done.

God bless and keep you.
In Christ Jesus' love,
Mack

Hi believer1017, welcome to the Oasis! We are glad to have you here. I pray that you will find encouragement and friendship here at the Oasis. We will be here to listen...but we will not judge.

I am a sinner who falls short of the glory of God...and am forgiven by the blood of Jesus only. I'm nothing and no one without Him....same as anyone else who walks this path we walk.

Take care and God Bless you
Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard He loves you? If not, I'd like to introduce you.

Welcome to Oasis *hug5*

I find it amazing that you posted this today, truly God works... lemme just tell ya i had just asked phantomfaith a couple hours ago to change my sn after being here idk like two or three years now, cuz i wanted to post a link to this site somewhere else. And i didn't want some people on that site to know the REAL me. As in some of the struggles i deal with. After going thru 15 pages of my posts (there was like 51) I realized it was an impossible task to take out certain references to areas i didn't want other people that i might invite here to know. I came here as goldieluvs and i remain as goldieluvs. (though he would have gladly switched it)

I can speak of what i found here, love, acceptance, encouragement, regardless of my struggles weaknesses. I found no judgement here. I have been REAL from the start. God lives in me for sure, but the human me is so very evident in my posts. God shines thru too many times tho!!!

I would like to encourage you to spend some time here. I believe you will find what i found here: people in all their weaknesses being honest and reaching and encouraging others and loving others.

Mackles gave u a link to an awesome study here, it is a fourteen day program and i think you will learn much from it. You may wanna fav place it to make it easier to get to each day.

GBU and i look forward to chatting with you

Hello,
Read my Testimony by clicking on the link below. People respect ones who are honest and real.
Of course you have a few who will judge as that's their problem and not yours.

Good Post.

GBU
