I made this for people to come to who need to be encouraged or want to encourage others or also for ppl who need help understanding something and for the wise, experianced or even just helpful christians to give help or answers. I take no credit for this thread because it was actually suggested in the suggestion forums. I love to help ppl and there will be times when i need encouragment or help too so i hope this will be a very popular thread so we may all help each other grow

LOL sry for the mix up But still this may really help ppl so i guess it's okay. I actually have a question once you become an experienced christian and you become very devoted to god will i still have to worry about dry seasons? I really hate those times i would like to have comfort that i won't always haveto deal with that

oh okay, i get it now.

you said in the original question "experienced Christian" i think that as christians, we dont become more experienced in our faith, rather, i would say we get stronger in it as our relastionship with God strengthens as we learn to trust him completly.

that said, i believe that "dry seasons" will never completely disapear because of the impact the devil is always trying to make. he'll see u ona day where u feel sad enough already and then try and attack your faith. i think christians struggle with their beliefs most during hardship, which is ironic because this is when we usually need God the most. so anyway, i think it is safe to say that as your faith gets stronger, there will be less dry seasons and more time in his arms.
hope this helps :)

oh yeah, noticed you got saved very recently- congrats! i will bet they had a party in heaven when u did :D :D !!

I have spent some very Aline time with God lately... I love it.. I have parted ways with friends and came to a very dry season. About three months .. In this time my relationship with Christ has become stronger, he is showing me that there is something the world needs and until I get what I need from Him I can not show anyone in the world His love ... It's beautiful..i was surfing the net and came to this site and the contrast of what I thought a friend was to seeing the purity of what real interaction with people who know Christ is.. I didn't understand that God wasn't in the wrong places. I was... I really appreciate everyone on this site. Reading the posts and observing how Godly interactions are to be ... Has really encouraged my heart and got me wanting to go in a better direction of selecting friends.... Whoever came up with this post had it laid in their hearts to do it... It's is by encouraging one another , it was done... I'm also seeing so much of tue "walking it out" process here... Also very encouraging!! You guys are All such a blessing to me
