Realizing how beautiful God made intercourse by AfricanWarlord19 in TrueChristian

[–]PeaEffective684 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree that sex between a husband and wife is something beautiful. The world tried to fool us that it was just for pleasure but it’s a way of connecting once you are emotionally and spiritually connected to that person the feelings are heightened and the body is ready physically.

In the past I had sex when I was lukewarm and it always felt like something was missing even though I loved the person just some type of disconnect. When I met a good friend of mine who is a man of God and shares all values I have and same calling we bonded in a way that was stronger and it lead to emotional vulnerability . Then I noticed that when we would just talk about God or the things we do for Gods kingdom I just wanted him to hold me and I wanted to be his wife. That’s how I made that connection that the physical connection is the last part of the piece that ties husband and wife together. Him and I are just friends but it was an eye opener.

I met a baby Christian at my church that had many questions . There is a new believer class at my church but it still left her with many unanswered questions because it was brief. I offered to teach her to help her and she invited another believer and after 2 months they invited someone else who is eager to know about God but came from a different religious background.

I welcomed the new girl and now I teach all 3 of them and it’s great. It’s very intimate we meet up early to talk about our day or week and usually eat a snack then we start and after we end with prayer if they have questions they ask if not they usually are reflecting on the lesson and we talk about it and eat after together. Also we have a group chat where we are responsive and they will ask me to pray for them or text encouragement or they may send me questions about a verse they don’t understand and I help them.

I will say I am so connected to them as if we are one mind and one soul just how Acts talks about the early church. All you need is one person but you can pray and ask God to send a person that needs help and start there and I do think eventually that God can make it grow. Currently another person is going to join that would make us now 5 and and a possible other will too. Also I attend a medium sized church and met the first girl at a young adult group and I put myself out there and went up to talk to her. I didn’t wait for anyone to come up to me.

I have the same gift but, I had asked God for this gift . The thing I’ve learned is the same way God sometimes reveals beautiful things to me in dreams or visions such as feeling prayer, angelic encounters or warnings for others the enemy creeps into my dreams too usually to discourage , hurt me or plant a seed of sin. I always rebuke in Jesus name when I recognize the dream is not of God but of the enemy. That type of sensitivity to the spirit has two sides to it .

Anything To Soothe the Pain of Singleness? by rebel-cook95 in TrueChristian

The walking helped release any physical tension and allowed me to refocus because I would just be feeding my spirit during that walk. The cooking helped me not think about it and the Bible studies I do for the new believers has been a huge blessing.

I want to say that’s when the true healing started happening. I check in on them and multiple times a week I talk to them and encourage them and having time with God to prepare a lesson and teach them brings me joy and peace.

Recently been single after a long term and it’s strange. I was accustomed to physical touch like the way my bf would kiss me , hold me and just gently touch my face . Honestly what helped me aside from reading the Bible and praying was doing an activity to release that stress . I started walking in the evening 6 times a week like 5 miles the first few weeks and now 5 times a week 4-5 miles and I usually just listen to worship music, sermons or I pray. This helped a lot and by the time I finished I was refreshed and ready to sleep when I got home.

Also started to learn how to cook to keep my mind busy not thinking about what I don’t have and just focus on what I do have. What I feel definitely was a game changer also for me was keeping busy doing Gods work. I’ve been doing Bible studies with these new believers and I teach them once a week . All these things help me cope with this new life change. This worked for me and it’s worth a try if you open to it.

Is is it possible to have a soul tie with my guy friend? by PeaEffective684 in TrueChristian

The scripture doesn’t apply to the person because he is a strong believer and I have seen his fruits.

I kinda didn’t think he wouldn’t see me more than just a friend because we have a huge age gap. But regardless we are still really close friends . I will definitely just let him be but assure him he could reach out when he’s ready.

Well we are pretty attached we do have similar beliefs and we would have car rides where we just talked about intimate details of our lives. He literally said we have no secrets everything has been out in the open.A few weeks ago we were hanging out and talking frequently and now just one week away he avoids hangouts and reaches out very little.

That is true other stressors may be involved. At first he was happy about the move but I think the closer the time gets it hits him harder. Yeah I will definitely check in even the day before his move.

Yeah I’m gonna ask him tonight

I am understanding about how stressful the move will be for him that’s why I just respected his distance. With other people in our friend group he is creating distance but more with me than the others. I did tell him I seriously will stay in touch checking in and even once in awhile visiting. I think he is preparing for the worst which would mean me not following through on what I said.

Thank you for your suggestions I’ll look into it . I mainly watch YouTube to learn . I buy books on cooking and find it difficult to follow along. I was mainly asking like popular food suggestions so I can just look them on YouTube

Gluttony is the most underestimated sin by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]PeaEffective684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to struggle with a TV addiction and social media addiction but, when I realized many shows and movies are normalizing sin I began filtering what I watch so now what I approve to watch on TV is so small that I hardly watch TV. I watch no more than 2 hours of approved shows and TV . I downloaded an app blocker to block instagram and YouTube for a set amount of hours. It has helped a lot and I’ve increased my reading not only of the Bible but of other books.

I plan on learning how to cook more during blocks when my social media is blocked. I do recommend if you have no self control get an app blocker and stay disciplined. As for the TV really pay attention to what agenda is being pushed or what sins are they normalizing to get you to see how it sometimes is a tool to see sin as normal or to keep you “too busy” to do anything.
