Seek the Lord with all your heart, you must forsake all known sins against Him, and get a new heart and spirit, the evil one is upon you, and if you are filling your mind and time with the vile things of the world, such as video games, vile movies, books magazines, etc.... then you will be depressed, you are doube minded, and confused. allowing the evil one to get a foothold in your life.

Remember Its not too late to repent, get a new start, cleansed and purged of all wickedness, with a pure mind and heart!



2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
As long as mankind has breath repentance can be found, yes I mean found, it usually doesn’t come until the sinning soul breaks down, yielding to the holy word of God, through the conviction of the Holy Spirit, who is convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment!
Joh 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Joh 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Joh 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Joh 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Now many will say repentance comes after the conversion, or somewhere down the road since stopping any sin is impossible, since mankind is depraved and unable.
But God is not mocked, God is still waiting patiently for His wayward creation to repent, forsake their sins, which mean they stop first, and then seek His mercy, broken as a wild horse, now useful to His master. He gave them free will and ability to choose to repent or not.
Rom 2:4 Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, and the forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
If your life is a mess, and you are living the lie, that tells your conscience you can sin and live of the world and still be saved, and in bondage to your flesh, giving into temptation whenever it comes knocking at your door, just remember it’s not God condoning your bad conduct, but your conscience becoming seared to the point that real repentance and faith will not be found, it will be too late, His great mercy and kindness will not last for long!
So it’s not too late for those who still have breath, and are ready to stop playing Russian roulette with the patients and mercy of God, this is not a game, this is life or death, for all eternity, repent before it’s too late and God says time is up.

The Biblical Characteristics of True Repentance: (as taught by early church and Apostles) 2Cor7:10-11 “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.”
For True Repentance to have Taken Place the following MUST have Occurred:
1) Season of Deep felt Godly Sorrow for sin. (Invoked by Spirit of Truth working, Jh16:8)
2) A Crisis of Conviction that Cuts to the heart! (Sin already being forsaken!)
3) A Zeal to CLEAR oneself of all Wrong Doing against God. (make restitution if necessary)
4) Indignation and Fear that leads to Vehement Desire to STOP Sinning!
5) Vindication and Finally PURITY of heart!
Every incident of Repentance in Scripture Follows this PROCESS. (DON’T Let anyone tell you it Doesn’t, and they will MOST certainly Try!) The Sin STOPS HERE, The Old Man DIES here, The Flesh is Crucified HERE! NOT Afterwards. The Desires and Conduct are CHANGED here. (Or never will be!)
OBEDIENCE to God follows in NEWNESS of Life and All things New! (Rom6:4-6, 2Cor5:17) If you have NOT Experienced this and have NO IDEA what it means, you are NOT BORN of the SPIRIT!!!
You may indeed have ‘RECEIVED’ Christ, and ‘Believed’ on His Name (repeated some words) BUT the Devils ALSO Believe! (James2:19) If a Person is SAVED by What he DOES and NOT by Faith Alone! (as James affirms, JS 2:24) The What he DOES PART, STARTS with This REPENTANCE!
I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds! Acts26:20

Malcyboy, hang in there. You are not alone! I think all of us feel like that at some point. Something that will help is doing something to help another out. It will help focus your thoughts on others :)

Yes malcy hang in there my friend. As for you Tommy, I understand your sincerity in preaching, but if you're going to preach and go to scripture and say God is long-suffering, don't turn around and tell someone that he wont wait on them. Salvation is the power of God and if we're going to preach the Gospel we don't scare them into making the choice If we are speaking the power of God, God's people WILL be saved. And preach it at the right time, the bible says pray for an oppurtunity to say God's word. Malcy wasn't looking for a Gospel he is tired of feeling alone. God is with us, but that dont mean we dont need people around us. Iron sharpens iron brother.

Hi Malcyboy
Well I did think about asking you if you want to tell us any more but after the toe stomping you got above I doubt that very much. I feel very much like that in fact I found this group tonight for that very reason. I think being alone when you are with a load of people is much worse than being alone on your own. I sit on face book and just think I want to just connect with some one does that make sense? And before anyone goes jumping on me I don't mean romantically I just mean being real.

It sounds so trite to say that God is there to take care of loneliness, but I mean it from my heart and my experience.

I can't drive, so can't get out. I had to spend hours and hours in hydrotherapy that made my hearing bad, so now talking on the phone is a pain. For the last two weeks I have had no more than two hours of human contact. Four weeks ago I lost a beloved son in law on a Saturday. The next day another died. And I am not really lonely.

I am lucky that, with age making physical doing more difficult, it gives me time to get to know God so much more intimately than I ever had time for before. His presence seems real to me.

God is explained as light in scripture, especially in the first chapter of Genesis and in the gospel of John. I sometimes sit quietly and picture this light around me, with the physical light carrying the spiritual light of God.

When you think about it, the pleasure of being with others is in the giving and receiving of love. You can give out the love, even when you aren't in the same room with others.

Maybe it truly depends on whom you are with and reasons why one feel lonely.
Maybe someone slandered , spread lies of you.
and that why people behave strange around you.

Sometimes one can feel a deeper connection with a stranger at a cafe sitting on another table and you can communicate almost telepathicly or in a type of sign language.
You can feel they listen to your deeper soul and being and actually can communicate and express things to them in a way you cant express with your human format .
Not everyone can listen or be that level and that can make you feel lonely untill you meet someone who can and does and who can even understand you.


Reasons can be many.
Maybe they dont care or love you and use you or are on a shallow relationship with you and truly malicious.
Maybe pretend be nice and care but really steal from you and pretend to use you and steal and put you in disabling situation.
I know of people this has happened to.
Truly pretended to be friends or caring and in reality were using them, stealing everything from them and look good doing it.
Like a sickmaker make sick and then step in as the "carer" .It can be incredibly educated, manipulative and malicious people who look good hurting you and stealing from you .


Not saying people around you are like this buuuuuut there are people like this and betrayal cuts deep.
Jesus knows all about that.

Praying is good and if you can feel welcome and communion in your church that is good.

I dont have human friends my human body is with in persona and have been very lonely and had a lot of things happen.
Buuuuut can sometimes communicate with people in a way with no words spoken.

I dont feel good inside my body for various reasons as has my horse .
Try get your body to do things and go out.

Swimming is good.
or just playing in water.
Jump up and down and skip in water.
Play.
Water is so healing.

When I had cancer just a nice bubble bath soothed and comforted and eased pain.
Be nice have true friend or family then that truly care not pretend to.
Like a will...lol
i can't express here things been happening but my clocest know about it but i dont socialise with there bodies (yet) but hope to.
Miss me true friends and golden people.

Swim outside and be in nature is very healing and good.

I decided to take myself out once a week .
Go to movies valentines day, alone but better than always be same place.

Get out even if it by yourself.
Going out by yourself is better than going out with someone malicious who pretend be your friend and its not a true friend.

Maybe we could make a day and time on chart and say hello.
I was told i was annoying cause did not say anything. but was my first time on chatt and dont always express or find words to flow through my body.another body though prhpz :)

You could encourage me to say "hello" through my human format.lol
and help me chart cause take a while for me chatt when new .


Have you an animal ?

The depression is difficult when apathy come with it and try inspire and encourage to activate yourself in positive ways.

Maybe start exercising and take yourself out on a date once a week.
Take yourself to a cafe and watch people or watch movie .

Finding the right people and bringing them into your life.
People that can understand and connect with you.Deep , wise people may be what you need have around you now.

Try surround yourself with people who can understand you and listen to your deeper soul.

You are not wicked for feeling alone with people.

Maybe you dont feel understood by them or a deep connection or the reasons can be many.

Im not saying all people are malicious or want use you but there are people like that out there whom pretend to be your friend or care when in reality they steal from you .heard cases where torture , crucify time and do awful things and lock them in situation need help get out of.

i blabbering now.

Perhaps its cause of my own experiences i write about a fake people that pretend , set you up etc.
we seen a few movies about such things but to think it happens in real life or that it could happen more clever and covered up, appearing a way that may not be so.


Maybe take some space to feel what you want and what relationships in your life are good for and to you .

For depression maybe some herbal st johns wart i heard is good.
Exercise.
By yourself if you dont feel good out for whatever reason then your room can do.
Try eat well.
sleep and good routine.
up same time every morning and sleep app same time
find support through pray or try find people understand you and can listen to you and support encourage and be there for you.
do things good for you and try awaken passion for who you are and all you

careful what dr you see
Look around for what dr feel good for you and you can connect with.
It important you feel trust for your dr b4 you open up to them as they can diagnose you as mad when your not so mad lol
but the you have label on you and take lot work get rid of it specially if people want you have it if they gain from it.


Maybe all dont understand.
Seek a deeper men that do and can understand or tutor them/teach them how to understand.
aaaa, blabbering my reply may not be so good


But wish you well and to not feel lonely.
You should never feel lonely again.

One can be alone but not feel alone if one has spirit energy and ones dog :)

unless someone stole your dog and you got get your dog back.
you can ask for help get our dog back.

4give my blabbering

lol

Wishing you to never feel lonely again and wish you true relationships and good love and love with christ.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you. I pray that God sends you peace and comfort.:)
Take comfort in this: "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved". (Psalm 55:22)

Mr. Tommy, next time please try to get sufficient information to avoid casting false accusations. :)

Right now, thats exactly how i feel, like the people in my life make me feel all alone and i cant cope with it anymore, dunno what i can do now...

Been there..done that..Got the T shirt..trying to not wear that shirt,those grave clothes of depression anymore myself. I do understand and believe I have been allowed to go through it myself to understand. Do your best even if you must be militant to not be anti social(something i had caught myself doing) Find friends,even if their christians from outside of your church(*had to do this in order to find friends my age)
Do what you can to not isolate yourself..find a hobby..heck even read the Bible, and if you are too tired to read it..listen to it..or a sermon online. God's strength is made known in our weakness, His grace is sufficient. I will be praying for you.

Malcyboy, saw this posting and even though it has been a week, wanted to know how you are doing?
Times of lonlyness and depression come and go as we grow in life, but Jesus is always close.
Scripture says, that Jesus is close to the brokenhearted.
I love that scripture. :)
Scripture also speaks to times like this, James 1:2-4 tells us why.
I hope this post finds you doing better, you are in my prayers in Jesus, for all that is the joy of salvation to fill you.

God bless
