    Blasphemed the Holy Spirit in my dreams

    I didn’t read every post in this thread. But I wanted to add some encouragement in that once you realize that the enemy can put thoughts in your head, and make you feel things, then you’ll be much more capable of fighting these things off. Any thought, feeling, dream, vision that is not of you...

    Sharing my confusion

    I took the above as a sign and signed up to volunteer at my church. I think I need more time with other believers. I really feel like something changed in my life. But I haven’t figured it out yet…. Maybe I should request prayers for peace of mind, as I feel I’m overthinking things.

    Sharing my confusion

    I listened to my most resent church service after making the above post. I kind of dozed off and found a email from my church in my inbox inviting me to serve in the ministry.

    Sharing my confusion

    This year has been the worst of my life. But it’s confusing because God has given me some amazing blessings. Yet I keep having these wrong thoughts and occasional dreams that tell me that I’m fallen and that God has left me or cast me out. But then a while back I had an experience that is very...

    Question - open portal or door

    I’ve read online about the concept of some people having an open portal or doorway that leads to demonic attacks/voices/etc. How do Christians close said doors? If it’s an issue of unrepented sins then do they have to name every individual sin? Or can they just pray for every sin to be repented...

    2nd Earth - Revelations

    Lately I’ve had this abstract thought stuck in my head and I’d like to share it. So humor me :) It’s been said there are no husbands and wives in heaven. Then in Revelations it mentions second Earth. So I was pondering this and it came to me that if Adam and Eve had kids then maybe Gods people...

    What does trust in God look like?

    I like to keep things simple, here’s how I think in regards to your question: - thoughts in your head can tell you untruths, believe in His truth - Feelings can lie to you Trusting in Him is knowing His word and knowing He will do what He says He will do. - all fall short ~ it’s a mini quote...

    I want to be delivered from schizophrenia and physical illness

    Look into this tiny book, Right & Wrong Thinking, Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin. While I’m not a fan of his ministry I did get usable advice from this book. Here’s a copy of the book review: Renew Your Mind What you believe is the result of your thinking. If you think wrong, you will believe wrong...

    Convincing others the truth of God

    As Christian’s we are supposed to minister to others and make Christ followers of all the nations. It sounds great but some people like me are not gifted in speech that way. I’ve always been kind of socially awkward. So I’ve been pondering how to open tiny doors so God can use that to open flood...

    Prayer request - thanks

    As a faithful Christian it’s been said there are many voices that seek control of our minds. Everyone gets hit with something, and everything from self doubt, to anger, judgment, and so on. Lately I’ve felt like a ping pong ball being bounced between good and evil. I trust the Word. As a...

    Blasphemy

    The Bible says God and Jesus are one. Jesus is a God of love, teaching, and peace. He’s with you. He won’t leave you nor forsake you. People always forget (including me) that your sins were forgiven 2000 years ago. Focus on Jesus. He will lead you to peace. If you need professional help, He...

    Hobby question

    There’s a Bible quote that roughly says - be happy with what you have. I collect toys. Is it a sin to collect things? Thanks

    Schizophrenia or spiritual experience?

    End times rookie question

    I’m not completely confident in the question that I’m wanting to ask. I’ve read the Bible numerous times and I always feel like I don’t get the same understanding that other Christians seem to get. So if this is a dumb question then I apologize. In revelation it says in short - things will...

    Schizophrenia or spiritual experience?

    Recently I was painting a truck and unintentionally got high on paint fumes and saw 4 days worth of evil visions. You have to judge for yourself the visions you see and why you’re having them. It’s not always a mental health issue. Sometimes I just do unintended stupid things. You have to judge you.

    Can you prayer that God fix this situation

    God bless you. Your not alone.
  20. Midwestern Loner

    Please pray for me. I’m very confused.

    At the time I thought I was seeing some kind of Godly vision that went wrong/bad/sinful to the max. It lasted like 4 days. But then later on I felt like maybe I just got high on paint fumes unintentionally. Either way it’s really messed with my head. If I’ve fallen from grace in some fashion...
