How Long Has It Been

How Long Has It Been

How long has it been, since you talked to the Lord,
And told Him your heart's hidden secrets?
How long since you prayed,
How long since you stayed,
On your knees 'til the light shone through?

How long has it been since your mind felt at ease,
How long since your heart knew no burden?
Can you call Him your friend,
How long has it been,
Since you knew that He cared for you?

How long has it been since you knelt by your bed,
And prayed to the Lord up in Heaven?
How long since you knew,
That He'd answer you,
And would keep you the long night through?

How long has it been since you woke with the dawn,
And felt that the day's worth the living?
Can you call Him your friend,
How long has it been,
Since you knew that He cared for you?

How long has it been since you talked with the Lord,
And told Him your heart's hidden secrets?
How long since you prayed,
How long since you stayed,
On your knees 'til the light shone through?

How long has it been since you woke with the dawn,
And felt that the days' worth the living?
Can you call Him your friend?
How long has it been,
Since you knew that He cared for you?

Thanks Coconut that was really nice, I am bookmarking that site now!

de1 you get back, by falling on your face before our Father. You cant do nothing with yourself, but Father can. He wants to give you a new heart, a heart that longs for His goodness instead of one filled with lustful desire. Father will do this for you, but you must really want Him too. This is what it means to be born from above. When you ask Father to forgive you, and give you His Spirit, He does, and then (and only then) you will be a new man, with desires for better things.

The goodness of the Lord is so very much more desirable and satisfying and lasting than the pleasures of the flesh, for with His goodness comes true joy, and peace, and love, that don`t fade away when the day or the night is over. Turn to God and let Him be all you desire, and He will show you not only His goodness, but His great love for you.



Psa 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
Psa 103:3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
Psa 103:4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
Psa 103:5 who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psa 103:6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.
Psa 103:7 He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.
Psa 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
Psa 103:9 He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.
Psa 103:10 He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.
Psa 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
Psa 103:12 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
Psa 103:13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.

[de1]

how do i do that.

thanks for what you have given me but the thing is how do i become a new man.i do believe in god but day in and day out i feel very guilty of my self and think with what i am doing i can never be forgiven.please try to help me for what ever spirit that directed me to you want you to help me.

let me explain it to you very well so that you can get it clear this time.some times when i commit that adulterous act after that is like it wasnt me who did it but in actual sense i did it myself .i then go on my knees and tell god to forgive me i then read the bible and then promise my self not to do that again.

but this positive words of mine does not work i will either do it some hours later or the next day and do you know what its been almost 11 years now since it started am also being affected with broken home cos that am not able to tell my parents for help and i have kept this on me till now.

i dont trust man but for this time am trusting you to help me and no one knows about this except you .please help me.

Hello Paul Duddy, I welcome you to talk Jesus.

Your profile informs that you became a Christian at the age of 10. You are now 19 years of age .....and you make the post I quote informing us of the perversions of a feral tom cat.

and idont know how to stop

The way to stop such atrocity...is to pack it in. SAy NO.

I am aware that the way of man today is the way of perdition, ending in eternal death.

You alone have the power to help yourself.

You have a background of 'faith in God' You need to break away from the bondage that has gripped your soul, such that will surely ruin your life and body and leave you a beggar.

Return to the paths of Gods mercy and grace. Return to the paths of peace with God. Come again to know Gods mighty Grace and Mercy.

Throw off the shackles that torment your soul 'ere it is too late, and you are beyond 'Gods call to Repentance'

My heart reaches out to you....as a young man 19 years of age.

I am praying that 'your eyes will be opened' and your future secured in God....in Peace....in Blessing

rather difficult to play though ( lots of chords)

PRAYING FOR YOU DE1

 

[Dreamer]

De1, do you have friends, trusted, Spirit-filled believers, who can pray for you and have sessions of prayer with you. You say that something takes over in you that is not yourself. The Lord loves you and wants you to be delivered and SET FREE. Then, and only then can you love the Lord God with all your heart, and soul, and mind.

I pray this deliverance will come about from you. The Lord loves you so. I will judge you not, for then I would also be judged. Let the Lord be your judge...and your deliverer, Redeemer, Father Abba God. Through the powerful, irreplaceable blood of Jesus Christ you will be made whole.

He's done this billions of times...no counting how many...and He will do it for you!
