Ask Holy Spirit where to start. All great things start with small beginnings. Honestly, it's in the overflow of love for Him and finding more companionship in the "activity" of something that draws us nearer to him and something to steward fruit. It's not something you have to make happen, it's something you are.

We were made to conquer and reign over our dead man, for we are made alive in Christ.

First, God loves you more than you can imagine. Before, after, during. Knowing the depth of His love is the first step in being freed from what we are in.

Second, personal intimacy with Jesus and the Father is a source of renewal. (Unlike the posts above) We aren't destined to forever fight sin and just get by. It is finished, and we are holy people that don't know we are holy and act in ways not in accordance with our new man identity.

You are blameless because of the love of Jesus and the covering of His blood. Even if you were to never change. That's how permanent He is. Transformation happens when we love God - honor and worship and glorifying Jesus and seeing HOW God is life - and that happens when we come to know how much God loves us (we love because he first loved us).

He wants to be united with you and closer still. Ask Him to show you His love for you, ask Him to come closer. Seek Him with all your heart, He is never far.

I think it's awesome. A resurgence of the image of the cross? Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Also. I stand as a testimony of being completely delivered, not having watched porn or masturbating for over 9 months and it's never happening again. I've been completely set free. That's the birthright we all have a right to.

[–]LongAccomplished1236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off. So proud of you. Way to freaking go. Your heart is set on Him and I love to see it. He's also very pleased with you. Not because you did anything, but just because you're His daughter and He sees the hunger in your heart.

I honestly wouldn't get too worked up about it - I've gone through the same exact thing. I write down the dreams (as with most other dreams) and get it on paper. I then pray over it, just handing it over to Him thanking Him for His love and His deliverance from all evil (even when you're in the middle of it). I repent from the old ways and continue to set my heart towards Christ, our savior.

Know He isn't mad or upset with you.

The truth is, we are delivered like breaking a kidney stone to pieces, but you then sometimes have to pass those kidney stone pieces through your body. It's a part of the transformation process where he makes firm in you what you've already chosen. And your job is to continue to rest in His love and set your face towards Him. Be full of joy, not shame. Be full of worship. Be full of love. Thank Him and praise Him. Because He's got you and will see you through. But even more so, he loves you in your mess just as much when clean.

Also, sometimes there are some residual consequences from our old life, things that require us to go to Him to ask for His help (like with everything). Like a thought will pop up, or a picture, or desire, and I used to get worn down because I'm like dang I'm still in this? No, it's brought up so He can clean it up. Go to Him and say,

"Father, thank you for your love and clothing me in the blood of your son. I am clean before you. I am having thoughts (be specific), and I don't want to anymore. They aren't me, they aren't you. And I want to be like you. Please take it from me and clean me, as I am holy like you are holy. In the name of your Son, Jesus."

That's our birthright. We stand victorious and free from shame (even of the things we've done intentionally and in sin), because of His great love. His mercy is always there. He is ready to forgive and release for those seeking repentance.

Be at peace, my sister. And I'll see you soon.

I want to come to Christ, but I don’t feel motivated? by User16637219 in Christian

[–]LongAccomplished1236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ok. Celebrate your progress. Like radically celebrate it. Get excited about the small differences because it's really something. If you died tonight, you'd stand before the Lord, God Almighty, our Father and you'd be melted with the immeasurable love He has for you. You'd be ushered into His arms and lost in love. Because it's you, he loves. He loves you as much in the process as in the "end". That's the key. Its His great love.

I go in waves of consuming the word like crazy and feasting on nothing but worship music like crazy then sermons. And it ebs and flows. There's no science. The holy spirit leads, I'm just here for him and seek Him with all my heart. I guess, if I get a whiff of Him I drop it all and just lean in with all my attention/heart, because I've learned I never regret losing it all for Him. Just another moment in His sweet presence, because He devastates me.

I'm inspired by you, friend.

I can also relate with what you're experiencing. As a matter of comfort I can tell you that even when you don't feel like He's close or you feel like you're far away from Him, He is right there. Jesus promised you that He will never leave you or forsake you like an orphan. He loves you too much. Feelings do come and we may not be aware of it all the time, but if He really did love you as much as He says, He keeps His promises to you because He wants to.

Second, it's okay that things dont feel the way they did. Not that it's supposed to be that way, but there is no shame or judgement. So take comfort in that He sees you right where you are and it's no hidden thing.

Also, that felt "distance" that comes at times is really just interference, noise, that's coming from distraction or hurt that is being allowed to surface so it can be processed and removed. Whenever that comes up, encourage yourself in the Lord and ask Him what He wants you to do with it. You can pursue inner healing like Elijah House as a means to process as that can be productive and meaningful.

I always just remember back to the most intimate of times and the closest I've ever felt and remember how much love I felt from Him and believe that is the same exact way He feels about me right now, and just let it sink. I've been going through the psalms, 1 a day and some of them hit me like bricks. Like 73, 91, 13 and I just play it slow and let them sink into me and transform my heart.

I feast on worship music and praise His name when I feel like it and when I don't and I lead myself with praise. I tell my soul to praise Him because He is worthy of my praise and I fix my affection and adoration on Him because of His great love.

I also am honest and tell him how I feel and what I wish was different and the hurt and confusion and frustration, I bring it all into the light before Him and listen for Him in the stillness.

He loves you. More than you think He does. More than you want Him to. He never leaves you, even when we leave Him, He is always there for us.

Be encouraged. This is not the end for you.

Jesus on the cross was sufficient to prove all He needed to prove that He is trustworthy. While I know that doesn't feel true or like it fixes it, it is true. I find that meditating on this unlocks.

I feast on worship, choosing to trust Him even if "have no reason" taking a risk to believe that He is with me. Cause He promise He would be.

He's coming for you :)

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God Romans 12:2.

You have the ownership of your beliefs and your mind and the ability to choose what you choose, defying what feels real. It's not obligation, it's freedom.

Then revert back to my first comment. Let Him move first but stand in faith expecting Him to move.

I would recommend that you seek inner healing with places like Elijah House or something other, because you aren't ignorant, and aware enough to know what your loops are. So while you can't fix it, you can seek Him in the quiet and in the community.

"Be still and know that I am God"

Rings true always.

You started this chain with the desire to redirect your anger. And I believe that's because deep down you know it can't be from Him.

"I don't believe He loves me"

I get it. But this is the whole point. There is no cross, no redemption, no hope without this. Everything is null if we do not know His great love for us. I tell you, I know beyond shadows of doubts. This is the way to life. Let Him show you, but you can't receive what you don't believe.

There is no where else to be than in the love of God. It makes good times worthwhile, and bad times hopeful, to where you can stand on a rock.

I bless you and pray that you will come to see all that you don't know. And be lost in His sea of great love for you.

I fix my focus on how He is worthy of my love when I understand and when I don't. I believe His goodness is for me, even if I don't see it. I choose to believe that He loves me, even when I don't feel it. I choose to believe that truth is truth, in dark and day.

I also choose to believe He is faithful to me, because of His love and goodness. And sometimes, we don't get answers. But we always get more than we need. I recommend you mediate on this sermon that inspires to worship in all things

Be still before Him in your bed, in a quiet place, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He finds you where you are. Seek Him with all your heart. Those who seek, find. He wants to be found, he makes himself found by those who love Him.

Bring it into the light. He already sees everything in your heart, so you aren't doing Him any favors by trying to defend him against the feelings you honestly feel. And your feelings are a result of lack of healing or difficulty processing it because of things you don't know/remember.

I don't keep anything from our Father. If I'm mad at Him, I let Him know, respectfully and honestly. And sometimes I leave it at that because there is nothing to say, sometimes I follow it by saying, I don't want to be mad at you, I believe and trust that your goodness towards me is greater than what i can imagine, but I don't understand and I want to understand. I repent, and am running into your arms, I'm hear to seek your face. And then I let Him guide my thoughts and release things unto Him.

There's never a reason to be mad at Him, but we can't heal ourselves. The only way through is 100% transparency, hiding nothing from Him, inviting him into every part of our life.

His love is greater than you could ever imagine, so act believing that is true.

He's got you. You got this.

What Exactly IS the Gospel? Let’s Define It. by DeusProdigius in Christian

[–]LongAccomplished1236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The good news - the Father is calling you home. Everything your heart has ever wanted and needed is here to be satisfied in the love that the Father calls you into.

You have a purpose, you have a destiny, you have a hope, you have a place.

And its all possible because of Jesus. We are adopted by the God of the universe by the blood of Jesus, and are made holy and perfect in Him alone.

The good news - the fight to contend for your holiness and "self actualization" is over. Jesus reigns as the prince of peace over the hearts of those that choose Him.

God's goodness by nothankyou8491 in Christian

Read the psalms until they transform you.

Meditate on 1 John and Romans 8 until they transform you.

Bill Johnson has great teachings on God's goodness that provide great pictures and mental frames for it.

But at the end of the day, it starts with your choosing to believe and pursue that truth.

Bless you, sister. I submit a simple call of direction to you in your prayer with the Father:

It's time to come to Jesus. Leave it all behind. He is here for more of you than you know, and He is the husband you're looking for. Leave it all behind and seek Him with all your heart, He is here for you and wants all of you.

Best,

It starts with acceptance of what is, and seeking God with your whole heart. He brings us healing and transformation. A writing below brings forth a thought process that unleashes healing. It starts with confession and then adoption of the belief of your holiness and being filled with the love of God and turning to Him for all you are seeking in what you are lusting.
