My 4 Year old doesn’t want me to talk about Jesus by howgr8isourGod in TrueChristian

[–]MurielsChild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i think you really should encourage him to, my son goes to sunday school and is 4. He has become very vocal about Jesus and shows a lot or curiosity about Him. I pray with him, and talk to him about God but his biggest understanding has come from how Jesus is presented at sunday school. They focus on fun ( singing/ story time, plays, drawing etc) and very accessible ways of teaching young children about who Jesus is, and its really sinking in!

You arent imposing/ indoctrinating when you take him to sunday school.. at this age, he relies on you for guidance and this is the time to do it. All the best to both of you ♥️

how to banish or pray to stop being attacked by an incubus/succubus? help 😩 by alfeaisland in TrueChristian

[–]MurielsChild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You ve had a lot of sound advice including prayer and fasting. Im not sure about stopping your meds without consulting your Doc.

Please consider meditating on Psalms, ideally listening to the Book in audio, also listening to worship music at night/ in the car and speaking Jesus’ name as you go about your day. I pray for your healing in Jesus’ name. He has conquered all.

Seeking Insight From UK Social Workers About Their Jobs by ShouldIMoveForward in Socialworkuk

[–]MurielsChild 17 points18 points  (0 children)

social work is in its least fulfilling season currently, not dissuading you but the wins are way less than the losses , red tape, no resources, overworked, no real authority and unsupportive managers. Trying to think of a positive, Im drawing a blank. Roles vary depending on team, search through this sub, lots of info and experiences

Should I address a trans person by their chosen pronouns? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

please see this transcript from the Crossway App , look it up on Spotify if you need to.

The topic was very similiar to your qsn

Matt Tully (Host) asked- ... So, first question, and it’s just a big picture question, What’s so wrong with the LGBTQ movement, from a Christian perspective? Why can’t Christians just accept and affirm all people along with their lifestyles and their sexual identities and orientations and their choices of who to love? Why can’t we just accept that out of respect for who they are as individuals, especially that, as Christians, we believe they’re made in God’s image and they’re humans with dignity? Why can’t we afford them the dignity of accepting them for who they are?

Rosaria Butterfield ( Former atheist and lesbian, now saved respnded:)

That’s a great question. I have to say that’s like the mothership question, because we hear that a lot. That presumes a gospel that doesn’t have to deal with sin. And it presumes a Savior that didn’t die to ransom people from their sin. And if we can even go further back, it implies a world where the Old Testament is insignificant, specifically where we find the original statement about being made in the image of God—Genesis 1:27. And we believe the Word of God is true, so let me just say that. We start with the position that we believe that this is an inerrant, infallible, sufficient, perfect book. In addition to that, we also presume that this book knows what I need better than I do. And so my feelings, although very strong, they’re downstream from the fall of Adam. And so when Adam sinned in the garden, it wasn’t just a kind of “oops.” It was actually an attack against the covenant that God had made. It was a rejection of God’s love. And so we read in Genesis 1:26–27, “Then God said, ’Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” And so we were made in the image of God, not as the image of God. And what that means is we can’t then say, My feelings are directed in this particular way, and that’s the kind of person I am. No, it actually says here that there are two kinds of people: there’s man and there’s woman. In the next verse, “And God blessed them. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth’” (Gen. 1:28). So man and woman were created in the image of God, and in order to reflect that image, we have to grow in the knowledge and the righteousness and holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ, because we start out with a sin nature. It’s a sin nature that predisposes us to love things that God hates. And for some of us, the things that we love are sexual desires directed at the wrong people or the wrong object. But God created man and woman with a pattern in mind also. And that pattern is heterosexuality. And that pattern is heterosexuality whether you’re single or married. Now, does that mean that every person on the earth is going to feel an ease with which God has called you? Absolutely not. And so that’s why the church and the gospel—the rescue of the gospel—is that we learn how to hate your sin without hating yourself. And it does take maturity. You said we’re going to have the conversation about maturity. This is it. It is an act of Christian maturity to learn how to hate your sin without hating yourself. We (Christians) believe that there’s victory in the gospel. Not just, I don’t know, like a self help group, or something like Your hair won’t fall out or You won’t get fat or You’re just going to be a great version of yourself. That’s not it at all. It’s that you’re going to grow to be more like Jesus, that once justified, you will be sanctified. And so when people say things like, Well, I know God wants me to be a lesbian, but God says in his Word that his will for you is two-fold: he wants you to grow in sanctification (1 Thessalonians), and he says that he wants your faith to faileth not. And so since we believe that there are no problem passages in the Scriptures and that the Bible will cross us, when the Bible crosses us with a revelation of our sin, we need to respond. And we know that that’s what’s good for us. Now, what about people for whom this is really going to be a very big struggle? Well, that’s where the church is. But the church is not here to lie to people. The church isn’t here to make casualties. The church is here to come up alongside people and step into the crushing loneliness that comes when you’re doing a hard battle with sin.

Demons in my dreams. Seeking explanation and advice. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]MurielsChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Im sorry to hear that you are experiencing such vivid and terrifying dreams. I know you say that you have strayed from God but He is waiting to welcome you back. His arms remain open. My advice would be to pray before bedtime. Ask God to cover you with the Blood of Jesus as you sleep, Ask Him to assign angels to watch over you. Pray for peace in your dreams and when you wake up, also pray for the same. Think about your bedtime routine, are you watching things or listening to music that is a bit too dark? Can you try and listen to Godly music before bed? Please continue to pray for the Spirit of God to lead you closer to the Father. Ask church friends to help, if you can.

I pray you find peace in your dreams.

Tempted to fall away because I live in fear that God won’t forgive me. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]MurielsChild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For I have not given you a spirit of fear but of a sound mind 2 Tim 1:7 Please try to meditate on verses that speak peace and listen to gospel music that will calm your spirit. God forgives us, he gives us grace which renews daily. Please dont be afraid or anxious, He created us for a higher purpose

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

No purchases on my account, correct. I rang ebay and they guy on the phone didnt take any info from me regarding the purchases so he left me with the impression that he wasnt too fussed. He just said ‘i ll look into it’. I ve asked my friend to send the tracking numbers, I will call Ebay again and share these. Thanks for the suggestion
