I did what you said with the search engine and it only gives me references to this conversation. Can you provide a link to what you're telling me about?

Good morning Porter...you were on my mind.  I was searching for a poem under "off topic discussions" and started reading some old threads.  Please read some of them as there were others experiencing "giving up" and how they expressed their feelings.  The awesome responses they got was very uplifting as so many on this forum had/have so much God given wisdom.  You may find renewed strength.

May God bless you in leading you on your path to peace and uplifting your burdens.

Diane

Praying for you Porter.  Thought of Psalm 143; starts out with "Answer me speedily oh Lord, my spirit fails"; hope you find comfort and help in this Psalm

Diane

The Spirit is willing.  The flesh is weak. 

Did you read that right?  There is now no condemnation.

Every man a liar yet let God be true! 

Find a couple of promises from his word that resonate with you and hold on to them for dear life.  Nothing can separate us from the love of God, no temptation has fallen upon us that is not common to man and right now God has us exactly where not only he wants us but where we need to be.

If there was a better way for God to accomplish his plan for the world and us in particular then he would do it that way.

I'm just tired. I'm not even that old at 52, but I'm tired. Tired of Satan trying to bring me down because of my sins. I've given up on trying, I don't know what to do. Help, I'm desperate and scared. So pathetic, I know.

I hear you and will keep you in my prayers Porter.  I often have to remind myself that our Creator has a Master Plan of salvation and healing for all of us.  Without that blessed knowledge, I would be in total despair also as I witness and experience the evils of this age.  Sending you a spiritual hug.

Sorry mods, I think this belongs in prayer requests. Feel free to move.

You aren't alone Porter.  I am the same age and in a similar place. 

Remember Satan will be cast down.   

Revelation 12:10
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

Praying for you bro. 

Psalm 107:4-9

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way;
They found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And He led them forth by the right way,
That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
8 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For He satisfies the longing soul,
And fills the hungry soul with goodness.

Yes Wendy …thank you. Let it snow, let it snow , let it snow🎶🎵🎶🎵

I wonder if there will be snow in the new world?

Put Spirits in prison in the search engine for the answer from Kat and Alex on this
from the teaching Ray gave

2 Pet.2:4…. for if God did not spare angels when they sinned ,but cast them into hell
( Gehenna) and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness, to be kept until the
judgement.

Jude 1:6….and the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority
but left their proper dwelling, He has kept in chains under gloomy darkness until
the judgement of the great day.

Matt. 25:41…. Then He will say to those on His left, “ depart from Me you cursed
into the eternal( eonian) fire( Gehenna) prepared for the devil and his angels.

Jude 1:16…. These are grumbles , malcontents,, following their own sinful desires
etc. etc. etc.

These are humans , the false teachers , preachers, pastors I believe.

God does put His Elect in prison sometimes though Porter. May be that’s where you are now. By the way Octoberose, the post I just read from 2016 on this very subject
was from you .Hang in there everyone, God didn’t raise no pansies.

Hi Porter


I’m praying for you Porter

like mustardseed said these are very hard times these tribulations that we go through and all the wicked in the world can take its toll on you but hang in there God will definitely see you through

Pamela, I pray that God keeps you safe from those fires  I don’t like this heat at all. I prefer the winter this heat just makes me sick

God bless
Wendy
