Holy Spirit

[88jerseyjam37]

I have been on other forums where arguing and ignoring certain members was happenineg. At first I felt the Spirit there but, when all this occured I got out. I want to learn about Christ not argue about Him. I can do that here.
sorry I haven't been on in awhile but, I have been a little to busy and will correct that situation and spend quality time here once again.Thank you for the reminder that I haven't been here.
God Bless each and everyone that is here and you will be in my prayers.

Yes

I believe too, that I was led to talkJesus. It has a beautiful and simple format. My only reservation is that sometimes too miuch intellectualism concerning the Word of God is used. I love to hear simple replies from the heart. There are so many wonderful people online at talkJesus. I love to hear Jesus speaking through them. I will say a prayer right now, that talkJesus remains simple and not ever warring with the Word of God. Let none of us be ashamed.
Amen: Pixie

To me warring with the Word of GOD is just as bad as warring directly with GOD. Its senseless, fruitless and hopeless. It is not Christlike so I can tell you warring about the Word is not going to happen here. I hold great responsibility to what takes place here and I'm not putting my relationship with GOD in jeopardy by laying back while people debate. One of my personal motto for Talk Jesus forums is "this is not a debate forum". In other words, the Word is Truth and it speaks for itself. There is no debating about it

God bless you and enjoy the fellowship here

He sent me a wonderful friend - 12-23-06, 02:34 AM

Our Lord Jesus cares
i had never been in a chat room. One day i was bored and i wanted to see what happened in a chat room. I went to a christain chat room and met a member. They told me to check out Talk Jesus. That i did.
How can you get to know someone typing messages on a computer?
A question i often asked myself.
The one thing in common that i have had with my friends is that i can see them. Here i can only see someone if they post a picture.
It was a good lesson for me. I met Vagabond and enjoyed talking to him daily. I started to wonder about Vagabonds life, what was it like living on his farm in his part of the world?
I met Uknowme and immediately experienced the warmth of Uknowme's kind personality.
Another person had issues that needed to prayed about. My friends and i started to pray for this persons situation and communicating with them.
We live in Australia and they are in the UK. Yet our Lord is working through key boards. Awesome.
I met Mara. I cant remember whom started talking to whom.
Mara changed my whole outlook on chat rooms. We became friends. Though we had never seen each other or had never been in the same vicinity as each other. Our time zones were compatible as we live only 750klm apart and are in the same country. I would log into Talk Jesus and there would be Mara.
A friendship built. Mara would sit wrapped in a blanket late a night typing away. We got to know each other really well. I just had no idea that could happen through typing messages.
Over time we started to share with each other, the ups and downs in our lives. Pastoral care for each other.
Mara was often very cheeky and brought lots of laughter into my life Our Lord used our friendship in both our lives. Incredible.
I friendship loved a person Mara, a person that i had never met in person. I was praying daily for Mara's concerns. God is amazing how he works, he blessed my life with Mara's friendship.The timing of Mara's friendship was perfect in my life.
The business of Life moves people on. Mara and i havent talked for a long time. One day i recieved a message from Mara that said "catch you in eternity one day" And tears came.
Our Lord Jesus has used Talk Jesus to bless me through my dear friend Mara. Thanks Mara for being you for Jesus. Merry CHRISTmas to you Mara
Thank you Jesus for providing caring friends.
Thank you Chad and Talk Jesus for this wonderful ministry that our Lord uses
Merry Christmas to you!! regards from Xr6 in Adelaide Australia

The Holy Spirit is at work in Talk Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus loves us, cares for us, he involves us in his work!!
He uses Talk Jesus
amazing Lord

Hi,

I voted yes because discovering this site was really a divine connection. The posts here are sometimes thought provoking, inspiring and empowering. I usually don't mind when there is difference of opinion here. We are all different, we are at different levels in GOD and have different purposes. We will never always see things the same as others.

The greatest thing we can do is listen to people's different opinions and then instead of getting defensive, listen to what they have to say and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you anything in what the person said that can be helpful to you. I found people who are defensive have problems of pride and have been deceived in thinking their point of view is always right.

Patience is a GODLY character and we should pursue it at all times even when dealing with different opinions. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. 1 Tim 6:11

GOD Bless you all.

 

[Spreadtheword]

uhh,I feel to concentrated reading the posts that I don't feel anything.

 

[Faithin1]

I haven't been a member very long, but I voted YES. I do feel that I found this site (by the Holy Spirit) because of a sincere desire to fellowship with other true believers. While here I do feel the presence of the Lord. I realize that not all who come here are of God, but rather are brought here by the devil. Actually, the fact that the devil comes here is evidence that something Godly is taking place. Otherwise, he wouldn't bother to try to create problems. I thank God for TalkJesus and I pray that He will continue to allow this site to grow and to be a blessing to all who come here seeking Jesus.

Each time we have had revivals at church and the Spirit was palpable, the devil always made his presence known. He just can't stand it. But praise God, he has been defeated and has NO power over those of us who trust in Jesus.

Christian Greetings!

I am surely confident that it's the Holy Spirit Himself who ushered me here in TJ. A wonderful part of God's plan in molding my new Christian life in Him... A challenging part of His purpose to use me mightily and not just to remain a mediocre or bland Christian in a new horizon of Faith in Jesus.

I was in my affliction and Distress when God sent me here. I was inspired of the various testimonies of different brethren from different parts of the world. How God moved and intervened in each one of us just to show us His boundless love. How awesome!

As I visit here everyday, my joy in serving the Lord is restored, revived, enflamed.... Hallelujah!

Yes, not "always" we may feel the presence of the Holy Spirit , simply because we're still in this imperfect world, 'sins" as mentioned by Chad, etc... That's why I agree better pray before posting or typing a message.

If mood or spirit is not right, I suggest better observe quietness while silently reading the forums, joining the chat rooms or much enjoyable if you would spend some time for awhile in arcade for different games to play, hehehe.

I like the rules here in TJ. They preserve the respect and integrity of the website.

Long live TJ for God's glory!

 

[88jerseyjam37]

I too Love TJ

I don't post often and sometimes get to busy to come in and even say hello. But today is the first day of the rest of my life and I will be here more. I joined here to learn more about Christ and to meet Christian friends.
I belonged to another Christian forum as I said before, I am truly glad no debating is allowed here. Like was said above in one of the posts, we are all at different levels in our walk, so our opinions will differ. But, that is ok because we are all part of the body, we are not all hands, nor feet, nor eyes, but different parts, thus we each have a different part to do to serve the King of King and Lord of Lords.
I too have met some very wonderful people online, people that I have not laid eyes on, but our hearts are one. We have daily prayer meetings and it is awesome.
Chad you have a woderful site here and I will become a daily fixture here,.
God Bless one and all.

This is a poll for honest emotions of how you feel when you are at Talk Jesus. Do you feel that Talk Jesus is annointed with the Holy Spirit and that He is here giving testimony of Jesus, guiding and comforting those who come here seeking fellowship and understanding of Jesus Christ?

I know from the 3 years I have been here that the Holy Spirit is here and many have been blessed, glory to GOD! Many have been saved and accepted Jesus Christ, built up there faith and have grown (I being one myself have grown in my faith and knowledge of the Word).

Do you feel the presence of GOD here? Please share your sincere thoughts and try to not let your own flesh speak but let the Spirit convict. What is it that you like or dislike?

God bless you and thank you for voting!

Brother Chad,

I do feel the presence of God here in Talk Jesus. Talk Jesus has been a real blessing to me. I grew mentally and spiritually stable especially after I joined here. The best place I love here in Talk Jesus is the Bible study hall. The Bible study hall has inspired me to study the bible deeply.

I love Talk Jesus especially for the family and friendly like environment, the testimonies the members share, and I love the fact that Talk Jesus doesn't encourage criticizing other men and women of God.

God bless you.

 

[egyta]

Yeah... i feel something different here .. i didnt see a website so blessed as here ..i feel as when u see someone and u feel something different in him/here..or when u visit a house and u feel Comfort and Peace..the same in talkjesus..(i think thats because of Prayers)

 

[Ayla]

Definitely do. I've longed for a forum that was peaceful as this one. At least from what I've seen so far! Your rules are marvelous. @_@ (plus, they're enforced) I am so thankful to find a forum that is soo biblically based, standing strong on a firm foundation: the Word of God.

Thankyou so much Chad, and the others who are working hard to keep this site together. ^_^

 

[aaroncam85]

Hi i find this site is very informative and i have been blessed through using this site but recently i have really felt some people have posted some very strong/ harsh comments. so my answer is not decided.

 

[Chad]

Hi i find this site is very informative and i have been blessed through using this site but recently i have really felt some people have posted some very strong/ harsh comments. so my answer is not decided.

And where will you find a perfect place on earth when dealing with sinners? Have you ever experienced a perfect forum or physical location (church) yet? I have not, regardless of how awesome they were anyway. I find it rather odd that you base your decision on a select certain people's comments that you disagree with. To me, thats ridiculous. Is that a harsh comment also to you? Think about this. You're basically saying you're not sure if you feel His presence because of certain peoples' comments. I hate to tell you this, but GOD does not operate that way.

I just want to remind everyone that regardless of your answers, it does not affect the Holy Spirit's decision to make His presence known at any particular place He wants His people to feel His presence. Whether this site or another, or a physical location - or a specific person whom your comments you've disagreed with.

 

[aaroncam85]

i apologise you are right, the harsh comments of some would not stop the Spirit working but i must say i really do feel that maybe some of the moderator's replies could consist of a little more love.
Can i suggest that if we are to continue this conversation that we do it via private message so that it does distract everyone else.

 

[jbpichu]

I answered yes; I have been blessed to be here. I've been comforted, encouraged, rebuked, and all to help me grow and continue in the faith. Glory be to the Lord Almighty.

 

[mommabear]

THANKFUL and BLESSES!

Dear Chad,
I agree with I believe it was Dreamer, when they said nothing is perfect here on earth, but we are all fallible people. There is no perfect church, or place, or Internet but I have been blessed by talkJesus, we have had almost like a Revival on the Chat in prayer where the HolySpirit is just so real and so awesome. We trully prayed Heaven down and there is at times just such an awesome anoiting on this website. I Thank God for talkJesus! There is no doubt in my mind there is much prayer and probably even fasting invested in this ministry of talkJesus. I Thank God for the Moderators who minister and filter the rooms. Sometimes on chat I may be talking and someone comes on with a problem. I am not a counsellor and am not called to be, so sometimes I just sit and listen and pray and let the moderator(s) do their Godly counselling.

Sometimes in this life we are hurt so bad by people, churches and other christians and at times when we are hurting so bad there were times I could not even read my Bible. Finally when I was able to pick it up and read it, it did not make since. Thank God on talkJesus there is always a Word from God that is penetrating my heart. I am a 24hr. live in nursing care-giver right now and don't always get to go to church but there is a ministry for me on here everyday.

I don't let my kids go anywhere on the computet but I know they are safe in here! Thank God. We have met some awesome Godly people who we really look up to. Someplace in God's Word it says... We would know them by the fruit that they bear... Thank God there are some really awesome Godly people who care and really love Jesus and are called to minister His love and His Word on talkJesus. Thank You Jesus with all of my Heart! Thank You Chad for Your obedience and Faithfulness to God! Love, Blessings, and Prayers! mommabear

 

[mourning dove]

Having joined just this month I surely do think God is present here; but haven't really felt it personally as I have sometimes elsewhere. So I know what it is like. Yet on most of the threads ..there is surely peace and charity here and those are both a fruit of the Holy Spirit.

 

[JC freak]

This site is awesome, like Chad said you don't always feel the presence of Christ and that could be for a couple of reasons. But on many occasions I have definitely felt the Holy Spirit here!

I found Jesus about 4 years ago, I walk with him daily but I don't have a church that I go to - I haven't found one where the LORD truly leads (maybe I’m not looking hard enough) either way this site has truly been my church and I guess this is what it would feel like to go to ‘church’!
Lol online church - typical of the times

Even though I walk with Him myself, I also realise the importance and power of gathering with fellow Christians in unison and worship.

So I'd like to say THANKYOU to everyone here for all your posts, love and fellowship. I really appreciate the insight and wisdom from my brothers and sisters at TJ!


:groupwave:

 

[Brother Mike]

yes,.

I have tired other Christian forums, and was drawn to this one. I feel that God is involved in this and can use it for his good.

So, Yes...... If I sensed that God was not involved I would not be here.
