Walking in the Spirit - Hello... NEWBIE!!!

Hi all!!

I am new here (Tonight) I am very much LOVE my father... and TRY to walk in the spirit and die to the flesh as much as possible!!... I love Joyce Meyer she is my Fav... I am shortly to start a trip across Canada from West to East I hope to stay on the east coast...
I am an ex addict.. God took my addiction but I had to face the reasons for my addiction which was one of the hardest things I have ever done.. Having to face my past, bury it... forgive myself and others.. Only then could I move on.. and satan had no strong holds over my life because they had been dealt with.
I am a HUGE animal lover, I love my family ... But I struggle everyday with something... As many of you prob do... but ppl keep telling me that I go where Angels fear to tread!!... WHATEVER... Angels fear to tread no where and if I pray about something and God tells me to do something.. I WILL do it!!...
Just recently I pulled an intervention on someone I loved very much because they have a drinking problem... I prayed about it for weeks and weeks... Now he hates me... but I did what I was told to do.... one day I hope he realizes I did what God told me to do and I did it because I love him!!...
Well that pretty much sums me up... I'm trying to let Christ be seen in me... To many people preach the word and yet have no fruit... I want ppl to see Christ in me and ask why I am so different.. Its hard lol.. And yet rewarding!!... Its funny how the ppl I work with poo poo my Father God.. yet when something goes wrong they ask for prayer... When they need advice they come to me... when they need someone trust worthy they ask me... hmmmmmmmmm.
One day I will find a person to walk in the spirit with me )

Thanks

You may have just helped me mire than her my friend..... Hrm. I must think on things.

Well first off " GREAT taste! Joyce Myers is an awesome speaker and in the Spirit!
It's so great to hear a testimony like yours. Being an Ex addict and now wanting to know Christ more and more is just a miracle. Forgiving yourself is where it all begins! Great place to start!
Well hey welcome to CC and we are all glad you are taking time out of your day to spend it to fellowship with us!
God Bless you and keep up the excellent work!

I'm not sure forging yourself is?
Sure it'd suck to live with but if you did you could be sure that you'd never mske that
mistake again right? Just throwing that out there.

I mean god forgives you but why should we forgive ourselves? In my jouney I've found it to be a great motivator. Is this against the teachings of Christ?

Hey All!!... Hansa.. Thank you for saying that... you made me teary!!... Its hard to know someone I love so much hates my guts cuz of what I did.. but everytime I take it to God cuz I question and doubt what I did... he always the same thing.. You did as I asked you to do... So Thank you for your words!!... CUP!!!!... I talked to you last night!! lol... for someone so young you have quite the gift!! Keep it up!!... Never quit!!... you are the child of a King! and yes JOYCE ROCKS!! So does Mark Driscoll.. AWESOME!!
Liam... Yes we have to forgive ourselves... its harder to do that than it is to forgive others sometimes... doesn't mean you forget... It means that Satan can't use the sin against us.. make us feel guilty or dirty or whatever... (My Dog is biting my hand because I am ignoring him lol..) You can use your experiences to help others... but you must always forgive yourself... Don't let Satan keep throwing it in your face.. you are forgiven if you have placed it at the cross and asked for forgiveness... White as snow... Cleaner than the sheets I just washed.. and need to put back on my bed )
Love

huh. wow. weird.

i think forgiving one self really means jus getting out of self condemnation ..jesus said he was sent not to condemn the world but the world through him might be saved(jhon3) then later in Jhon 8 when that woman was caught in the act of adultry he asked 'where are ur accusers?has no man condemn u? neither do I condem you,go n sin no more. ..satan condemns ppl when they attempt to come out of sin(or in it) so if one yeilds to such condeming thoughts that;l probably lead to unforgivness towards self(self condemnation)..the only way out is to knw the truth that jesus doesn't condemn no matter how bad the situ is cus he bore the sins of the world..most imp of al that God loved the WORLD not certain ppl and that while we were yet sinners god commended his love toward us therefore if we know of these trues it'll set ppl free....
