Hi Tigerstorm, Just from your name I feel I can sense what you are like. Tigers are independent, lone hunters. They are powerful and impressive, but can be very destructive. I also feel that God has given me that kind of intense restless spirit. The best advice I can give you is never be content and never stop fighting. The enemy will advance quickly to disarm those that have a warrior spirit for God - and the enemy knows that if your passion for God burns like a holy fire, you will seriously impair his hold over men. Dont despair and dont give up, even when God seems shrouded in a cloud of darkness. In Isaiah 50, God tells Isaiah that even though he is surrounded by darkness, dont light yourself a fire so you can see, or it will be a curse to you. Many of the things that we learn of God must be tempered in the dust of the earth and in the darkness of night. I know the darkness that you find yourself in: you know that you are your own worst enemy, and you hate yourself every time you give into the flesh, but you feel powerless to do otherwise. I also have been the same in my life. But God revealed something to me which is helping to change my life - all the things that I was struggling with, that I thought were just things every guy struggles with, had been tolerated all throughout my family history, back and back and back. Like Nehemiah, God wanted me to place a stake in the ground, and repent of all the things which had habitually been destroying my family - alcohol, adultery, immorality and occult influences. Its not really enough just to ask God to shave a bit off of the sin off of our lives; those of us who are man (or woman) enough to do this, need to 'do whatever it takes' to be in a position where God can come in and be with us. I feel God telling me that He is watching you, my friend. He is watching... now how much do really want Him? Be willing to wait in ashes, like the phoenix, you will RISE. From a fellow warrior in Christ "Do not gloat over me, my enemy, for though I have fallen, I WILL RISE" - Micah 7:8

Hello ,this is my first time here and this post sounds just like what I'm going through now. It's so easy to get caught up with whats on TV,your computer and even with your friends or those you run into out in the streets.With so many different views you almost feel as if your stuck out in a open desert with no sense of direction.The only thing out there flying around you is the devil waiting for you to give up and fall down.You know those black birds that fly around just looking for dead prey on the ground well thats what could be waiting for you and I,the devil with wings. he's always hungry for those who get lost or drift away from GOD.I too have drifted away and I need to remember that God is always there for me.If you have enough strenght to read his word everyday which is our compass to finding our way out of that big open desert then remember his word is like a compass that will always put you back on track and lead you to fresh water, the water of purified life.With your compass in hand the devil hanging over you and I will have a long wait before he gets his meal! Keep praying my friend and keep your compass(Gods Word) close to your heart and you'll never get lost wherever that might be. God Bless you and everyone who drifts ways from time to time! radio5

For all of you... Remember when the devil is attacking you there are blessings around the corner. He doesn't attack when you are on his side. Be encouraged and know we can't allow ourselves to be guided by our "feelings". The Holy Spirit is our guide. I recently started counseling with a wonderful lady at my church. We prayed about specific bondages that all humans go through. From alcohol and drug abuse to being a victim of sexual abuse to breaking traffic laws and everything in between. It is amazing how prayer changes things. Not just prayer in our heart, but the words we speak. In the Word we are told to speak things that be not as though they were. I don't think we realize how powerful words are. When we speak God's Word back to Him, it cannot return void. We don't always see the results of our prayers in the natural the way we think we should, but that doesn't mean we didn't or aren't getting an answer. God said He would never leave us or forsake us. Never. I pray continued, strengthed faith for all who love the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise Him for who He is even when you don't feel ike it. Remember...if you are under attack, you must be doing something right. In Him, Bree

Hello Beloved, Wwwwowww! I hope you do not feel overwhelmed with all the feed back you have received.I wish I could get you my book Divine Destiny. I feel it would help you so much.Life is real. And sometimes reality seems so big that you are blinded by it. God doesn't seem big at all...The devil seems huge! But nothing could be further from the truth. You are someone like who I speak of in my book...I have been there too... You are in prison( Bondage) but the cell door is wide open.. you can't see it clearly though. But Jesus is waiting for you to stand up and walk out those doors beloved. IN you through Christ lies GREATNESS! Are you aware that there are lives that you are destined to touch all your heartache and pain now... is so you can heal and grow through your testimony so one day you can turn to someone going through what you are right now...later on.. and by then you would have walked out the doors to experience truth and freedom... and your life struggles will impact these people and give them the courage and the strength to move on! You are not your own. You have been created for a divine purpoe. You are not a fluke, a mistake No you are a precious , ordained , divine creation, perfectly weilded by the glorious Fathers hand. He looks at you with a great big smile and says HMMMMM that there is sweet!..Regardless of what anyone tells you too.If you are saved.. If you have asked Christ to live and stay in your heart....there isn't anything , absolutely NOTHING! can tear you away from his love....Please hear that....No matter how bad you slip up.....Christ Willl never, ever abandon you... His love for you is still just as strong! "May the Lord open your eyes that you may see, and may He open your ears that you may hear..In the name of Jesus!"' You are very much loved and appreciated! Your Fellow Servant In Christ, Glory

Man, that was so honest! I think it's hard sometimes to humble ourselves and admit our need to others. But here you are, pretty much saying "I don't have it. I want to, but I just don't." Being honest and having the desire for more of God is a good place to start! Have you cried out to Him? Have you told Him everything that you shared here? I remember one time when a bunch of us got together to worship, and we were outside on a pleasant summer night when one of the brothers started having severe chest pains. He had diabetes, and was overweight, and was afraid he might be having a heart attack. One of the girls said she felt like we needed to cry out together and come against it. So 15 of us cried out, I mean we yelled, screamed, and belted out our prayers to the Lord, and in His name we ordered out that spirit that was opressing this guy. It was very freeing to put everything we had into it. And all of us at about the same time sensed that it was done, and it was. Those chest pains left right then and there. Since then there have been many times when I have cried out with other believers, and even a few times on my own. I'm not saying that you have to go around screaming your head off all the time, I'm just saying I think there are times when it just seems right- to get it all out and put everything you have into it before Him. I will pray for you Tiger. What you want should be the heart cry of all of us! He knows what you want and He wants the same thing! I believe that if you sincerely want more of God, and you're asking, seeking and knocking, He's going to fling that door wide open!! So be encouraged, I believe you're about to get more!!! SOSIL!(seek/out/stay/in/life!) Summerdaze
