Finally....we're connected!! I am so very glad to see you here. What you are feeling right now is 'conviction'. The Holy Spirit is working so hard on you. Right now there is a major battle going on between the Holy Spirit and satan. Its a tug-of-war between the Holy Spirit and satan. Satan does not want to let you go. He has you in his grip. As long as he can keep you in the dark valley of addiction and depression and thinking you're hopeless, then he wins. The Holy Spirit on the other hand is telling you that you do not have to live this way, that God is the answer to your problems, if you will just believe on Him and trust in Him that He will give you peace and rest and life in Him. When you ask Jesus into your heart, He will give you the strength to overcome all these weaknesses that you thought were impossible. There's so many people praying for you right now. That's why you cant rest now.........God wont let you. I'm praying that he wont let you rest until you come to him. Doesnt that sound awful??? I dont mean for it to, but I dont want you to stop thinking about what you need to do. I want the Holy Spirit to continue to speak to you. You need christ. He will give you a life full of joy and purpose. You cant change your past...but He can change your future. He knows the very worst about you, but He believes the very best about you and wants to be your best friend. He has great plans for you. When you pray to Him, He will listen(He says so in Jeremiah 29:11 & 12). He wants to walk into your life and wipe away all those sins, and cast them away, forgiving you of anything you've ever done in the past and give you a whole new beginning. Do you have a Bible?

Ahhh!! This is much better. Let me tell you Dark Soul, the devil will try to tell you there is no way, or you cant live it. Im telling you, there will be such a relief when Jesus saves you. You feel like your life is complete. Our church is praying for you. You have real friends that care about you, we are all behind you and praying for you. Dont feel like you cant be saved or can't live it. I've been saved for seven years and Im still learning, and Im still far from perfect. God will help you. Just wanted to let you know there is a lot of prayers going up for you.

Gosh, isnt this so much better than being on the other forum? I felt like I was posting stuff in the newspaper. I may not know exactly what Dark Soul and others are going thru because I've not actually been addicted to anything myself, but I am the mom of an addict and It hurts so much to see someone you love hurting and know that you cant do anything about it. One thing I want anyone who reads this to know is this....us moms love you guys no matter what you've done and we always will. We want more than anything else just to see you cleaned up and well again. We'll do anything to help you get the help you need. We're not angry with you....we're angry with what you've become because of the chemicals........but thats not YOU, because YOU are buried down deep inside and we want to find YOU and bring the REAL YOU back. Please.......get help. There's a way, right here on this website that you can ask for help. Just do it.

It is hard to see someone you love suffering from addiction, its so hard to know what the right thing is to do. I have someone close to me that has been raging on drugs. I've been angry, felt sorry for them, tough love, you name it. I would pray and I would feel so small when I was praying. I finally got down on my knees and just litterally cried out to God. I thought Lord dont you hear me? FINALLY things started looking up. They have been straight for a little while now. I dont know that this will help, but I thought I would share my story with you.

I would like to say this is a wonderful website. Prayer Warrior I will help you pray, it really hurts me to see how these people have been attacked. I hope and pray tomorrow will be a brighter day for each and everyone of you. Im praying to that God will put a hedge around each one of you too. I know I've said it before and I will keep saying it, the Lord can set you free, you can have a life again. Keep on reaching out, victory will come, just dont give up. I feel such a burden in my heart for you all.

Prayer warrior, I finally made it to this site. I've been busy all week with a sick daughter and young grandchild and have not posted for a few days. I had to try to get in touch with you. I've been talking to my brother today. He is at a very critical point right now and is struggling to hang on with everything he has, but he's SO weak right now. I need you and all our other prayer partners to take just a minute and ask the Lord to give him strength right now. All I can do for him is pray and tell him to keep praying. Let's aslo remember all the other prayer requests on here as well as each other. Maybe one of us can reach or be a blessing to someone. I love you.

:(Im gonna say a special prayer for your brother right now, I dont believe God will let us down. I have to leave for a while, but please keep me updated on how he is doing. Im going to pray as hard as I can before I leave. I feel like your brother is in desperate need right now. The devil is fighting him so hard right now, but I know the God I serve is stronger than the devil. I'm having our church to say a special prayer for your brother as well as everyone else on here.

Dear lauren777, I don't know you, but my heart aches for you. Even tho you are hanging on by a thread,you just keep hanging on as tight as you can. I've prayed for you all day. It's obvious that you are dealing with so much right now. Honey PLEASE go to church tonight. tonight could be the night that changes the rest of your life. Yes, there will be people there that will pray with you, but the most important thing is that JESUS WILL BE THERE. Lay your burdens down at his feet. HE WILL HEAR YOU AND He'll give you the comfort you are searching for now. He will not turn his back on you. He's standing now with his arms outstretched. He'll keep his loving arms around you. They're around you right now and he's calling for you to come back to Him. Please heed his call. We all love you and want to see you make it. God bless you.

Lauren, 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Lauren, I want you to think hard about this question I'm about to ask.....Are you ALLOWING satan to magnify the memories of your spiritual failures? He will always keep them before you unless you take your stand and move up in faith.
The devil will shisper, "You didnt get very far along toawrd the deep life", or "you made a big deal about of wanting to be filled with the Spirit and now look"
Honey satan will taunt you with the fact that you may hane stumbled in the faith, and perhaps more than once. The devil wants you to live in a state of depression and remorse.BUT>>>> REMEMBER THIS......... THE BIBLE DOES NOT TEACH THAT IF A PERSON FALLS DOWN THEY CAN NEVEER RISE AGAIN. THE FACT THAT HE FALLS IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING--BUT RATHER THAT HE IS FORGIVEN AND ALLOWS GOD TO LIFT HIM UP.
Right Now, instead of magnifying the hurts and failures and whatever pain in your life, which is what satan is wanting you to do, bow your head, close your eyes and picture Jesus before you with His hands outstretched just waiting for you to come to him. Now you say this prayer and whatever else you need to say to him: "Father, I come to you, JUST AS I AM, TAKE ME FATHER, mold me into what you want me to be, and allow me to let you do in me what your will is. Change my heart to be what you want it to be and help me to see things your way and not my own. Be with my marriage and work your will in it. Bless both my husband and me, according to what you would have in our lives. Father I worship you now and I thank You for the wonderful truth of 1John 1:9. Amen"
Satan get your hands off this girl, in the name of Jesus!!!
Lauren........there is the freedom of choice!!!! God can only do in you what you allow. The rest is left up to what choices you make. I pray that you make the right ones. We all love you and are praying that you are now ready for God to be in the drivers seat and you in the passengers seat, because until then you will know nothing but misery. God Bless You Child. HOPE

Lauren777 Are you out there? I havent been able to get you off my mind? I didnt know until tonite that you had called the church this morning during the service and left a message on the answering machine. I want you to know that I went to Amy this morning, because I wanted someone that I could pray with for you and i knew you'd been close with them. We went to the alter and cried out to the heavens for you. I know those prayers and those tears didnt fall on an empty alter. Soooo, I have faith in God that you are gonna get thru this and I'm claiming victory in Jesus' name for that and I'm already thanking God for what He's going to do in your life!!!!! So, lay down your sack full of stones of past mistakes and regrets, pick up your Bible and the promises that He has given you in his Word, accept His forgiveness and look at those 2 beautiful blessings thats come right straight from the heart of God himself, and then just ask yourself, "If I dont wanna get straightened out for myself, and pick myself up......do my children deserve what I'm putting them thru, or is it time that I put my past where it belongs and give them the Mommy they so desperately need?" Those kids need their Mommy....you need to ask God to give you the strength and courage to turn you life around and distance yourself from all the ppl who have been a part of this dark life you've been living and you need to get back to the heart of worship.........not just for yourself but for those innocent children. They deserve 100% of you and I know you've got it to give!!! You've just got to get your focus back on christ and He'll help you to do the rest. We all love you at NS and dont let the devil tell you any different. Hope to hear great things soon!!! And hope to see you guys back with us as soon as you're feeling well again.

Just to let those of you who have been concerned and praying for Lauren 777(or 'can anyone hear me'-topix) someone has gotten to speak with her for about 2 hours today. Just keep her in your prayers, along with the member who is allowing God to work thru them to minister to her. Also keep her family in your prayers. Thank you and May God Truely Bless each of you who have gone to war with the devil over this young lady. The Journey of Hope
