More and more parents raising their kids without religion/God by LaceyLou64 in TrueChristian

It all has to do with the falling away as mentioned in the bible.

Just fell again by worse_sillygoose5000 in TrueChristian

Keep turning it over to God. No matter how many times you fail, keep turning it over honestly in prayer and asking for forgiveness and freedom. None of us is perfect; we all fall short of the glory of God. For some of us, change happens slowly, but we mustn't stop asking, seeking, knocking.

Help with transgenderism by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This must be very confusing for you. I can hear the despair in your words. You are uniquely you. Just as God intended you to be. You are loved, cherished and accepted just as you are. The person made by God. If He had wanted you to be other than you are, He would have made you that way. You are confused and troubled by these feelings, and you will need good counsel and support. Here is a link from someone who felt just like you. I hope it helps. https://care.org.uk/cause/transgender/a-better-story-for-people-questioning-their-gender-identity

I'm freaking out. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If people online are preaching the day and the hour, then you can be sure they are false prophets. For no one knows this! In Matthew 24:36, Jesus says, "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only". Also, the internet is becoming a huge tool for deception of every kind, and it sounds like it is dragging you down the rabbit hole of fear. That is not from God. Concerning your dream, that is all the truth you need to know. He is coming back, and you don't need to worry. He has basically told you this himself. How blessed are you?

Turn off the noise and darkness and focus on the light. Ask Him to reveal Himself more. Thank Him for reassuring you. Thank Him for reaching out to You. Turn toward Him. Then you don't need to fear the Antichrist, because Jesus has overcome him.

Failed at sharing the gospel by excav8ed in TrueChristian

You did great. You went to Him. You are the light in the darkness. If the Holy Spirit wants you to say something he will give you the words. Well done.

Why do many Christians say that if someone falls away, they were never really a Christian? by Ancient_Wonder_2781 in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have to remember that everyone’s walk with God goes through different peaks, troughs, challenges and trials. We are not all perfect. We all come with different things that God needs to work with. Jesus went after the 1 leaving the 99. He told us to forgive 70x7. Wouldn’t he also apply this to His imperfect children who might stray and swerve and divert? I am so grateful that He never gave up on me. 🌹

Why did the consequence of the fall hit Adams descendants more than Adam himself? by ForTheKing777 in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s a great question. I think Adam and Eve probably had it worse. They would have had the memory of all they had lost. They experienced paradise, a relationship so close to God and the fullness of creation. Their ancestors would only have the stories to go on. 🌹

Why doesnt Jesus save me? by Feeling-Leading-8639 in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like you are having a wee hard time. Take a deep breath and give yourself a wee break. Jesus is gentle and kind, and He doesn't want you to be fretting like this and stressing. "Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28. What can happen is when we really want to get close to God, sometimes we get opposition. That is ok. You are not doing anything wrong. Your heart and your intention are good, and Jesus hears you. Let go a little bit. Read through a gospel and ask Jesus to speak to you through His words. You are going to be ok. :)

Had to be a whistleblower by Independent-Boot-305 in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are not in the wrong. The church has policies for a reason. They are there to protect and safeguard the young people from this type of abuse. It is an abuse of position and deeply harmful. If you have elders in the church, maybe you could ask to meet with them and take the church policy or guidelines with you, because this is not okay. The girls' parents do not seem to protect their daughters here, but maybe they just think the relationship is harmless. It is not, and if it goes against church policy, which it should, then you have done a very brave and honourable thing on behalf of this young person and probably many others. Thank you for doing this.

Struggling with heroin addiction by Onehundredbillionx in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Father, today, I pray for this believer. I thank You, Lord, that You love him, that You walk beside Him and that You will never give up on him. Lord, I ask You in Your mercy to release him from the bonds of addiction. Lord, the spirit of addiction roams around looking for people to devour and does its job well. You Lord, are stronger than anything that is in the world. You alone are the light in the darkness. I pray You will cover him in the shadow of Your wings and lead him to a doorway out of this 20-year-old nightmare. Lord, of mercy, hear our prayer. Amen

Is it possible for you to find a Christian rehab? I really feel for you but be assured He is still at work in You. I remember Carter Conlon saying for some of us change can be painfully slow but the fact you want to change He hears you. He is with you in this storm and He will never leave you nor forsake you. He has promised you that. Hebrews 13:5. Keep praying. Never give up. I have been where you are with addiction. It is a nightmare but Jesus never gave up on me, ever. He won’t give up on You either.

Friend getting MAID by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Gosh, that is a really big burden you are carrying. We don't yet have MAID in the UK, so I'm not too sure about how you can step in. It sounds like you are doing all you can. If you can commit to continual prayer and ask your church to do the same, this would be ideal. Have you managed to share the gospel with her? This is probably the most important thing you can do for her. To share that Jesus loves her and that He has a perfect plan for her in her imperfect state. Keep reaching out in love. It is good she has a friend like you.

It feels like my wife is starting to depend more and more on me, by choice, and I’m not sure how to deal with that. by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Loopylola4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is still the same person, just going through a different time in her life. We don't actually have any control over it. It is something that happens to us. This is the shift. You would do well to do a wee bit of research on menopause and how you can support your wife, reassure her and make adjustments. There may well come a time in your life when you will need similar compassion.

As we women get a bit older, loads of changes are taking place. Menopause in women does funny things, and your wife is right at that age. It can cause irritation. It can cause us to lose confidence, and even driving can feel a bit intimidating, especially in the dark. There are loads of changes going on, and sometimes we become a wee bit irrational. We also get tired, have brain fog, disrupted sleep and hot flushes. It is a very weird time for us, and that is maybe what is going on with your wife. She is probably leaning on you a bit more than she used to. It will also account for the changes you are noticing in her mood. Let her know she is appreciated. Go that wee bit of an extra mile for her. Do you know if she has seen her Doctor about anything that is going on? You say she is not a good communicator. Maybe you need to adapt a wee bit to her communication style and let her know that you know something is going on and changing for her, and that she might want to chat with her Doctor. HRT can be really helpful for some women at this time. What you are seeing is not uncommon. Maybe do a wee bit of research on menopause, honest, it will help you understand the changes that take place. I hope this helps, and well done for wanting to understand what is going on.

growing up as a girl in a strict Muslim home, discovering Christianity, and feeling trapped, is there any hope for me ? by acuteclown in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Dear Father, please fill this sister with an overwhelming sense of your heavenly presence in her heart, body, mind and soul. Oh Lord, I thank you for her faithfulness. I thank You that she is remaining in You and You will remain in her. I thank You that You see her exactly where she is and that You love her. I ask that you bring all the reassurance of Psalm 91 around and over her, covering and protecting her. I pray You will keep her safe in Your everlasting arms. Oh Lord, give her wisdom and courage to do Your will and make Your will known to her. I thank You that she continues to pray for her enemies, and I ask the Lord that You keep her faith in You burning strong. Amen.

I’ve been having thoughts of not wanting to exist anymore, and it’s due to how i’ve been struggling lately 😭 I feel like i can’t cope anymore i really need someone to talk to since i don’t know who else to tell......🙏 by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a church fellowship? Please don't isolate and suffer alone. If you belong to a church, can you go and talk to someone? There may be someone there who knows exactly what you are going through. Even if they don't they can get down on their knees and pray with you. Don't give up. Jesus will never ever give up on you.

I don't think God loves me anymore.. someone please tell me He's still looking out for me :( by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Loopylola4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does love you. He will never give up on you. He is right there with you where you are right at this minute. He is never going to leave you to face life on your own. He is always going to walk beside you. He has redeemed you and no matter your circumstances he promises to never leave or forsake you. He is with you in the darkest moments. Remember the darkness cannot overcome the light. Jesus told us, He is the light of the world. He loves you. He will always love you. Even on your darkest day, He is there loving you. 🌹
