stop trying to work and yield to the only person you can have access to the Father God and He is JESUS. Begin to call His name JESUS JESUS JESUS JESUS, I PROMISE HE will show up. When He does cry out to Him, He promises He will save those that call on His name. You see His name is the only name by which man can be saved. Let me share some very simple biblical truths with you. The first thing is this we must confess our sins verbally (not in our hearts) and acknowledge that you are a sinner in desperate need of our Saviour Jesus. Ask Jesus to come into your heart (again, you have to ask with your mouth/words, (not in your heart because your heart is where the secrets are kept and where we need the light of Christ to expose darkness), confession is made unto salvation). Ask Him to be the Lord over your life and that He believe that you have received His promise. Next ask Him to fill you with the Precious Holy Spirit, He is our comforter. Let the Holy Spirit fill you with all He has for you so that you may begin to walk out your salvation. The next thing you need to do is feed on the Word of God. Realize this if any man be in Christ he is a new creation, this means you have to stop doing the works of the flesh, of course the Holy Spirit will help you. Practical things ie, stop gratifying your flesh, those things that feel good to you, no matter what those things are. Remember you have been redeemed/bought with a price the Precious blood of the Lamb. Jesus became and took your sin for you so that we can become sons and daughters of the Most High. Our lives are not our own. Some other things that are important for you to know is this, just because you are a Christian doesnt mean there will not be a fight. The battle is in your mind and it is the devils job to bring up your past, but when he does Verbally tell him it is covered in THE BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST. remeber God is for you not against you and NO ONE can go striaght to GOD our Father without JESUS saying I haven given them authorization because they hace accepted ME! I am willing to share so much more if you need me. slaytonkris@yahoo.com

hey mocha,
i dont know where things are with you right now… its been a while since the last post on this but i was just reading through and something i just wanted to put out there is some amazing sermons you should check out by louie giglio.
1. the anchor of hope
2. the megaphone of hope
3. how great is our god.
i highly highly recommend these!

in terms of scripture john 16 is quite good.
being a christian doesnt mean life will always be good,Jesus said ‘While you are in the world, you will have to suffer’ but he also said ‘in me you will have peace’ God often works in ways we will never understand, but NEVER forget HE LOVES US. he loves you so much mocha and if you can trust him, and i know it must be hard, he will hold on to you through everything he will keep loving and loving and loving if you keep hoping and praying and trusting in him he will restore your strength and fill your cup just keep on holding on even by the tinyest string. keep knowing yes this is horrible but the lord jesus loves me he will heal me he will heal me he loves me.
Also seek help from the church get some people praying with and for you because the power of prayer is so strong.
i hope this helps, i pray you have the strength to keep on going.
never give up
love dominic.

Hi Mocha!

You are not alone! The way you feel now, the way everything seems to always be against you, severe unhappiness….I know that feeling all to well. Im the youngest of my family, my brother and sister are 15 years my senior. I never had a close relationship with them. My mother and sister are really close, almost inseparable. In my mothers eyes, I will never come close to being equal with my sister. Its the same way with my father and brother. So I grew distant from my family. Like you, its hard for me to socialize. I have no friends because everyone says that Im different. I have always felt different and never really saw myself worthy of living. Also, years of being put down has stripped me of my confidence. So, while reading your message, honestly, I tried to recall if I actually wrote it.

God works in ways we will never understand. Lately, I had to understand that God will do things on his own time. Your blessings may not come when you want them to, but with God in control everything will be on time. I realized that you have to make an effort to truly trust God and believe in your heart that he will make a difference in your life. I use to beg and plea to God for a change, but never really gave him time to make that miracle happen. Remember, faith is more than just praying, its also believing. Now, I have been studying scripture, attending church, and most importantly patiently waiting and trusting God for that wonderful change in my life. Mocha, Life is too precious to spend like this. You only live ONCE. God loves you, and doesnt want you to spend your life miserable and alone. Youre’ never alone with Christ. Place your burdens on Christ, he will help you carry those burdens.

Mocha, remember, you are not fighting this alone. Continue to seek God, and I believe that he will lead both you and I to SALVATION. You must believe in your faith…and please believe in yourself. You can email me at anytime at nessa_096@yahoo.com or IM me on Y! if you want to chat.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked came against me, to eat my flesh
My enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp me, My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me, IN THIS I WILL BE CONFIDENT.

what ever happens trust the word of god when he says he will never leave you nor forsake you, he means what he says. trust god in your situation sometimes god tests our faith so don’t be discouraged (Joshua 1: 9 says i command you to be brave and strong do not be afraid or discourage for i the lord your god am with you where ever you go… i was ones depressed and wanted to kill my self i lost my friends when i was seeking god but the word of god saved me that day Jeremiah 29:11 says i alone know the plans for you plans that will prosper you and not bring you disaster plans that will bring about the future that you hope for..god loves you spend more time in the word and ask god for people to encourage you… keep on praying and never give up remember you are a child of god and god gives the best to his children. whatever you do do not take your life because i believe in my heart there is a plan that god has for you. peace be still. ask for strength call out to him he will answer Mathew 7:7 ask and it shall be given seek and you shall find knock and the door will be opened unto you. he is alive and will strengthen you.. keep on praying may the peace of god be with you. amen

Hi, I’m 27 and I understand exactly how you feel. I used to be distant from my family and people as well, and actually felt so insecure that my bf and I will split. Eventually God showed my that all this fear and reluctance toward others is because I lacked love. I so remember God gave me this verse John 4:18 perfect love casts out fear. And I repeated it out loud and asked jesus to put that love in me cause i couldn t myself. I also had to trust God and surrendered all to him. I think God has much more for you than a normal life, so he is showing you what you need to change in you. I do believe that evrything with God cooperates with our own decision to win with him the battle. I can say that even though my life’s not perfect, God has made so big chages inside of me. I feel so much more secure and surpris emyself that I do love being with people. Take care and be blessed.
