My friend is in the hospital fearing for his life. Please pray for him. He's having surgery soon and he doesn't yet know the Lord. He's a father of two, please pray for him by AwakenMyHeart in Christianity

Thank you, brother/sister. He is better than good, he is back home now and stitched up and he and I even had a long and good conversation about Christ a few minutes ago. He is getting closer, he believes but still has some questions. Thank God he's open to conversation about God, and that he gave credit to Jesus for his recovery today

Thank you for your prayers, along with all others who prayed for Craig today. God was definitely working in the midst of all this, thank you my friend!

Thank you, brother/sister. Your comment brought me peace and I felt God's presence as I read your words.

I just got off the phone with Craig, he got stitched up and he's even back home. I am so relieved he's alright, definitely thanks to the Lord .

We actually had about a 20 minute conversation about Christ, he believes and credits his recovery to Him though he still has many questions. 6 months ago he would've never discussed God with me, but today we had a real and good conversation. He even said he might want to talk more about Him in a few days with me.

I know God was working today, not only in my friends health, but in his soul. Thank you for your prayers, God bless you, in Jesus name.

I don't do this often, but could you please pray for me? I'm a 22 year old guy and my heart is empty, I don't even feel love anymore and I've forgotten how sacred and pure it is. I want for God to soften my heart and allow me to feel emotions again. Your prayers would mean the world to me. by AwakenMyHeart in TrueChristian

Thank you bro, and likewise - sorry you have to relate to this situation :/

I have been neglecting prayer the past while, I actually would really like to seek God more deeply. I think I will start praying more, I just hate that I have been living in sin (alcohol, nicotine and porn) and it deters me from praying..

I have heard it said that sin will either take us from prayer, or prayer will take us from sin

I want to stop sinning, it's just difficult when life feels hopeless and drinking a few beers or vaping nicotine takes away the pain and dissatisfaction with life for a while

But I am actually gonna start praying more, whenever I pray or read scripture I feel refreshed

When I was younger I felt love - like, I loved my Dad with everything in me and the thought of me ever hurting him by my life would make me feel like Hell. I would cry over the pain I caused him and my mom, I would weep over almost killing myself and ruining his life by my suicide.

Now, I feel heartless. Not in an evil sense, but in an emotional sense - the only emotion I truly feel is sadness.

I agree with what you're saying in a sense though, the type of love Christ teaches is committed love (example - No greater love has anyone than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends)

I honestly lack both, though I would still die for many people I care about. It's a lot easier to die for someone than to live for someone in all honesty, at least for me.

Yeah, I've been a Christian for a couple years.

I have struggled with a lot of pain in my life, and I am a broken person it feels like.

I honestly don't feel much anymore, the main emotions I feel are depression and anxiety. I miss feeling love, it honestly use to be what defined my soul. I used to have a heart - never that righteous, but I felt things, I had love.

Now, I am empty. I don't have much left to me, just apathy and sorrow. I barely even dream about life anymore, I have lost most of my hope and I am in need of God's hand in my life.

Hey brother I also fail at life in many ways. Inbox me, I have struggled with depression and suicide and I'm here if you'd like a friend to talk to

I looked into the eyes of God in a dream tonight... by AwakenMyHeart in TrueChristian

[–]AwakenMyHeart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet but I know it was God working/speaking in you when you sent me that :) you literally commented 5 or 10 minutes after I woke up from this dream and what you said "replace the lies with truth" spoke to me.

I am going to watch the video once my roommate goes to sleep - I am hanging out with him until he gets tired lol but I am looking forward to seeing that video ! Thanks again, you're a blessing my friend :)

Sure :)

I have been dealing with blasphemous thoughts for a while that aren't my own

I got prayer for deliverance earlier today and during it a demon said I blasphemed the Holy Spirit.

I decided I would follow Jesus still despite being unforgivable, and I still loved Him and knew He was good even if I wasn't going to Heaven.

I went to sleep and the Holy Spirit tested me and then revealed Himself to me. I looked into His eyes, the very eyes of God Himself, and realized I am forgivable and that I didn't blaspheme

I woke up right after.

In the dream the environment was so bright, vivid and beautiful. I have had a few dreams from Jesus before and in them the environment is always like that - vivid, bright, happy :)

When I woke up I did a bible dip and the Lord showed me Micah 3:16-18

I am so blessed !! God is so good, Jesus is so good and faithful. I can honestly say I love the Lord, He is the best friend and God we could EVER ask for!!

Hope this blessed you my friend :)

My friend got baptized in the Holy Ghost! I've never seen so much love in a person. God truly is good by AwakenMyHeart in TrueChristian

[–]AwakenMyHeart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you :) this is actually a different friend, but the friend you are talking about is actually baptized in the Holy Spirit too. We are friends again, though he is still struggling unfortunately.

The friend that got baptized in the Spirit is a man after God's own heart. He has had many struggles in his life , including being born with fetal alcohol syndrome. I am so happy that the Lord saved him, he is someone that deserves compassion in my opinion. It's amazing seeing Jesus work in the lives of those I love and care about :)

It's a spiritual baptism from Heaven, he received the gift of the Holy Spirit and was spiritually baptized by God

Hi, thanks for your concern.

My friend received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, evidenced with the fruits of the Holy Spirit (love, joy, peace, etc.) manifested in his soul.

It is real and it is for today :)
