This Is Hard

[Dreamer]

This is kind of hard. I don't really want to do it. But I've been doing housework and the Lord directed me to come sit down and express what He has done and give Him praise and glory and honor.

Lol, it's usually the other way around. The customary situation is for me to be sitting here at the computer typing, and the Lord bids me to "get up" and DO MY HOUSEWORK, lol. This time, it was the other way around.

Anyway....no more stalling....

I rejoice with my sister calluna...in her healing....last post is marvelously awesome and needs to be its own thread.

I rejoice with my sister Apple, who is such a blessing and has received so much healing in these past days!

I rejoice with LLJ, who has been a source of knowledge to me and a friend to pray with me, when I'm hurting or upset.

I rejoice with my friend teraside, who is experiencing open doors in his life!

I rejoice with my friend cody2, who is going to make a great moderator!

I rejoice with every single one of you reading this post. Because I know God is a great miracle worker, but these past couple of weeks, He has made me more AWARE of his miracles and He told me very directly that these miracles were coming.

Here is the big surpise.

Out of all these healings....I never asked the Lord for a healing for me.

But I truly believe...in fact, I KNOW that I am healed of chronic depression.
Other times, I have said I was healed, but I was jumping the gun. So I just gave it up and resigned myself to always being somewhat depressed.

I have been realizing in the last 4 or 5 days that my thinking and my tendencies, my outlook and even my behavior....has changed, and there is no explanation for it except to say that it is God.

I'm not saying that I'll never be sad again, or a little blue, or never have any problems....

It's just that there is a clear difference. Just like calluna, I believe my healing came from simple obedience. Forgiving others, staying in His Word, ministering to others when the Holy Spirit bid me to do so. Getting rid of sin and anger and being honest before God about my sin so that He could take it away. Thank YOU, Jesus, thank You, Lord: I have declared what You told me to declare

Also, for some members who may know me well: I want to let you know that it is by my choice that I'm not a moderator here at talk Jesus any longer. I'm on good terms with Chad (aren't I, brother? Yes? No?) and I am not leaving talk Jesus by any way, shape or form. I'm just surfing the web alot and getting some housework done. I hope that I will always feel welcome here.

This has been my home on the web for some time now. I honestly do not know where I would be without talk Jesus.

But more importantly, it is God who has healed my mind. I'm embarrassed, but I don't need to be. Many Christians suffer depression or other forms of mental illness....and they need to know....that Jesus still heals today. It may not be a healing that takes place all in one day...but it is still God's healing.

P.S. to CHAD: Do not think that I'm letting you off the hook, brother:shade:
I still expect to be invited to your wedding.

Amen sister dreamer. Our God is an awesome God.

He is the great healer and physician. Sometimes healing comes instantly, other times it is a gradual process over time.

I'm not saying that I'll never be sad again, or a little blue, or never have any problems....

Oh to never have any problems. I think we will have to wait till we get to heaven for that to be true.

I am still here for you dreamer sister whenever you need to talk.

Thank you for sharing and being so obedient to the Holy Spirit leading you to come and post this testimony. It is a joy to read.

God bless

LLJ :rainbow: :rose:

Dreamer,

This is such a powerful testimony to the greatness of our God! You are
such an encouragement! One thing about it, Jesus is definitely being lifted
up and He loves when we testify of Him and His goodness!

I pray that the Lord continues to bless you and open the doors He has
for you to walk through. One thing I have seen through your postings
is that you truly have a heart for God and people. Keep on keeping on,
Sister! To God be the glory forever and ever!

 

[Apple]

WOW! - That is great news and I am soooo pleased for you. I really appreciate the kindness that you have shown to me, especially the two occasions when you were willing to pray with me.

Thanks

Jesus is Lord

I rejoice with my sister Dreamer, she's been such an inspiration to me on and off talkJesus.
I praise God for your healing and great testimony.

Wow this is fantastic Dreamer. Another healing testimony, I rejoice with you sister, and praise the Lord with you. :girl_hug: :girl_hug:

Hey I didn't notice you were no longer a moderator until I just read this. So it just shows you are still the same Dreamer and a blessing to us all and needed at TJ, moderator or not.
