If God gives a gift... then shouldn't we be using for his ends?... not letting it be utilised by other entities... with every good thing comes a measure of responsibility....
Really and truly read the post about the girl who was told her unfaithful woman bashing bf was 'the one' by a fortune teller... or my friend who was being re-directed away from her husband by a fortune teller... the fortune tellers don't know that they are being used in this way, but they are.... spirits that do not come from God lie, they will entice by partial truths, but they are ultimately in the business of lying...
Hey.... its ok to hate the behaviour and love the person.... thing is... the occult is dangerous.. full stop... no doubt it is mysterious and fun, and if you have the gift, it can give you a sense of power... but its dangerous, cause you don't know where this power or energy is coming from... .personally I think it highly unlikely that it is coming from God.... given that he expressly forbids it.. in strong and not uncertain language... I get the impression that you are a really nice lady and probably very spiritual... just ya know maybe be objective and examine the possiblilities...
Hiya... no problem.... do you believe that there is only one form of energy out there?.... even witches in the Dark ages believed in negative and positive forces.... the laws of physics and the laws of the universe dictate this also as does eastern philosophies i.e. yin yan that kind of thing.... is it your belief that it is only possible for us (to draw from one single source.. ?
... join the club sister.. ... I'll bet he's up there lookin down thinkin I sure made this one stubborn didn't I ....
My biggie is lack of patience.. I know he is faithful as he always is... so I am Ok for ages and then I will just get really impatient thinkin how? and when? rather than if?... and being lil Miss Cerebral, I then start tryin to figure it all out ...
I guess you are just nicer kids or something in your neck of the woods.... I wasn't my mums 'friend' until I left home... our relationship was good by all accounts, but in particular as a teenager I thought she was a nightmare... looking back I appreciate what she did... at the time... uh uh.. b***h from h**
Hiya .. thing is it all starts at home... for a family to work and be functional.. parents have to be parents and not 'friends' it can't work any other way, and kids have to know that if they step over the line there are consequences...
Also many parents give up too easy concluding that 'they can't be there every minute.... sure they can!!! I would be all over my teenager like a rash if they weren't home when they were meant to.... after the embarrasment of me picking them up from school for a month they would eventually realise that what I say goes
The world is gone too left wing... kids have to have a healthy fear/respect for their parents....this is the precise reason I would not outlaw parents right to engage in corporal punishment... I would allow it in only very limited circumstances.. but I dunno....I can only conclude from this that the kids have zero respect or fear.. and you gotta ask these tough questions
Im a difficult example, cuz I would never approach a guy to date, and I am not much of a flirt either... Relationships normally start as a friendship with me... and a person wouldn't want to lack patience either, cause I hate rushing things... I just like the au naturel approach, which is probably why I am still single..
I think the secret lies in what your intentions are towards that person.... if your intentions are true, then you will be less likely to come across as a creep...
In my experience the things that I have regarded too much are
incessant texts.. no matter how much you potentially like someone.. its a pain to have to keep answering texts about silly things... the same goes for tons of pointless phone calls...
Texts ARE good though and phonecalls, cause its nice when you think of us
Agreeing with you all the time.... dunno it kinda creeps me out if someone doesn't appear to have a point of view of there own..
We do like it though when you have a similar outlook to us, as long as that outlook is actually yours
Over the top romance... dunno it just doesn't seem genuine..
We DO like romance though.. especially the little thoughful things.. like offering to take you out or cooking for you when he knows you have had a hard day... or running a bath for you (just you) that kinda stuff..
Really its not that hard to please us once you are genuine and sincere, but not a walkover or a wuss...
Absolutely, but not trying hard enough is a real turn off also... again it goes to deciding whether a person is sincere and really likes you or not... a guy who falls at the first hurdle really isn't regarded as being worth the hassle.... actually its not easy is it?? ... yer kinda damned if you do and damned if you don't...
''I believe in the guidance that I receive when I ask for it''
Hiya... it sounds like the Holy Spirit is working in ur life already... he is the one that puts into effect a Spiritual calling in our lives.. in the early days he can be experienced in the most subtle of ways, initially it will be experienced as no more than 'instinct' or a bunch of bizarre coincidences.. which will lead you closer and closer to the truth(God)... if you are willing to accept it that is...... that is where the 'free will' part comes in... Its how it happened for me.. and in happened during the course of my time here.... if you trace my posts if will be as plain as day.. ... my earlies posts are full of searching and all sorts of spiritual hypothesis... long story.. wish I had more time
Hiya... I think you may have misunderstoody my post a little... having a gift... means it is MORE important to stay away from this stuff because when you are sensitive you are kinda like a big Transmitter that can potentially pick up signals from everywhere.... which means that you can very easily experience something which is a lie, designed to misdirect...
Channeling this gift, with the help of the Holy Spirit and with discernment however can be extremely useful, for ministry or generally for peoples encouragment.... and the REALLY good thing is that God doesn't lie!!!...
Discernment and confirmation are crucial though....
This is exactly how they work...... I wasted two years moping over a guy that I was told in the Tarot cards was my 'soul mate'.... he was no more my soul mate than Kermit the Frog... but I loved him so I believed it... when I think of the energy I wasted now... it makes me blush ... .... but yes!!! this is exactly how these spirits real you in and send you on the wrong path...
