Hi Jackie,
I too have been where you are...Went to most of the churches that you list for very much the same reason, for I still had not found what "I" was looking for.
WHat got me, is that even well respected church folk would tell that they went to many churches until they heard a sermon or a preacher they liked. It was not like that with me. The whole God and his church thing had to be complete. It did not have room for Sunday angels and week day devils (if you know what I mean)
You are here for a reason Jackie, because God has led you here. :)
This is not a cult following, because most of us has never seen another member; we're here for simple reason and that is the truth. Finding the truth is everything because only then can one begin to free themselves of the baggage accumulated over time.
We are all walking with God, some a little closer than others for sure; we all walk alone with God, but that does not mean that we cannot share with oneanother and learn at the same time.
Scripture is important, but so is the realization that God is in control; I am not sure how that happened to me, but it was life changing for it has changed my perspective on almost everything.
Guess I am long-winded today! :)
Great to have you here Jackie,
Much Love,
Darren
Jackie Lee:
Thanks everyone, to be honest I was starting to get scared.
I am glad this is where God wants us to be.
I appreciate finding this board it has helped me more than all the years in Church or Churches.
God works with me usually at night when laying in bed attempting to sleep.
I have been using this insominia to communicate with God, believe me he has showed me a lot.
I really was questioning if this was God or just my feelings of being inadquate.
Even though I feel so broken, I am so thankful God has me in his hands.
The feeling is bittersweet, You all know what I mean I bet.
Every time I read on Rays site I learn just a bit more.
I wonder why I can't learn a more sooner but like was said previously I would maybe get a tummy ache.
Anyway I am so glad I am not alone, and God is teaching me at last. :)
Jackie Lee:
Thanks Yellowstone I must have been posting as you replied.
I also agree my perspective on everything has changed some in just a few short weeks.
I am so glad God is teaching us.

Hi Jackie Lee,
Your comments are refreshingly honest and we all love you for that. Psa. 51:17 "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." As Josh, Kat and Darren have stated, we all need to be in your position before God can do anything with us. It takes time to take all this in, but you really are with people that understand right where you are and are standing and praying for you with every step that you take. Believe us Jackie, we really care for you and will pray that God will reveal His Son to you day by day.
Ray has often said to his readers, "pray and obey," and God will open doors for you that you didn't think possible. Stay with us here on this forum for you will learn more than you ever could in Christianity and all of us will say Amen! to that. Ask questions even if you think they aren't good enough...no one will ever look down on you or be critical of you in any way. We are here for you and each other....we love you. :)
In Him,
Your brother and friend,
Dwight

Hi Jackie Lee,
Welcome! It's nice to have you here. You are right where God wants you! God has been calling many here to come out of the church. It is nice to have a fellowship of like minded believers to converse with. Try not to be so hard on yourself. You are no worse than any of us here. It is good to come to a place of understanding our wretchedness though. The closer we come into the light the more we can see our sin. But it is Christ is us the Hope of Glory! He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it!
Philippians 1:6
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Blessings, Paula :)
