[Sha_Serenity]

Hello all .My name is Felicia Silva.I am from New Mexico.I am a new Christian, was raised catholic, never liked it.I always felt worshiping an idol(Mary) was wrong .It is one of the ten commandments to not worship any other idols but to worship God.The rosery is like chanting to me , witch craft. I used to do witch craft and play with ouija boards , etc. I used to strip, do drugs, drink alot.Now I am saved and got baptized in May along with my twin sister.I want a relationship with God and Jesus.I want to do only his will.I want to save souls and make diciples.I now know before I was saved that I was damned to hell.I could still be if I backslide but I need guidance. I feel like I have no family, my mom well I never had a mother daughter relationship with her but I still love her and honor her.My dad is in the biker gang called "Bandidos" He is a vice president in the gang.He sells drugs and does them and is an alcoholic. I want nothing to do with that sinful nature.I want to save them all. I`m still tempted with suicide but I rebuke that spirit and pray and worship Jesus and God.I know I have alot to learn and want to be freed from the bondage of satan and his demons. But how do I stay saved? what do I do next? do I need to be delivered? Well I wish nothing more than to do the work of God and to please him, were here for him and him only.When I dance I want to dance cuz I am a child of God and that I DO have a place in Heaven, and stomp on the devil! I want ot play my instruments for Jesus, to make music for him, to praise him! Jesus died for my sins and I wont let him die in vain.He chose to die for me and had free will, I want to have that same determination to live fror him and our father God.Bless all of you and the lord be with you :0)

Re: Hello there!!!

Hi , my favorite bible verse is
Matthew 8:26 "And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm." I like this vcerse cuz I was molested as a child,went through domestic violence,was abused ,raped 2 times in my life, one of the rapes resulting in pregnancy.I lost my virginity by the 1st rape when I was 16.My mother wanted me to get an abortion and I thought I had no choice so I ran away the night before my scheduled abortion.My son is now 7 will be 8 next month. Anyways been through alot more things and When I found Jesus, he really did calm the storm.
How old are you? I am 25 years of age.
Are you married? No I am not married but would love to be.I am waiting and clinging to christ while I wait for the man he sends my way.
Do you like ice cream? Yes I like Ice Cream :0) My favorite is cookies and cream.

Re: Hello there!!!

I am a full time student. I want to be in fashion and design. I want to make christian clothing that is real and blunt. I want to send money to help our country.I also sing and play music and want to make music for Jesus. I`ve had so many near death experiences. Its not my time, I still have to pusue my purpose that God has for me. I found him when an old friend of mine started preaching to me, I told her I felt like I had something in me.She explained deliverance to me and about how this world is only temporary. I can care less if I`m rich now, or don`t care to be famous anymore. God sees me and his love and attention is all I need. He fills that void in my heart forever. I don`t need anything else but him. And what Jesus did for me is so great, he is real true Love. I want to be more like Jesus. I want to spead the gospel to everyone. Everyone makes fun of me but they dont know. Once they do , they will be on there knees with tears in there eyes saying I didn`t know God.....

Re: Hello there!!!

Hello Sha_Serenity (or would you prefer Miss Felicia?)

A warm welcome to God's Favorite Forum.

It is wonderful to know that you have realized the horrific influences of catholicism and have come over to Jesus entirely (by the looks)

May I ask, you DO only read the KJV1611 for your Scriptural fulfilment, yes?

I am sorry to hear of the adversity you have had in your life. Was it after these events when you decided to turn your life over to God?

I think that is enough questions for now.

I look forward to further interaction with you.

Re: Hello there!!!

I do read it, but read the nlv as well to be honest. I actually did turn to God after those events but not because of them. I always knew there was a God, rather knew of him.Every religion never satisfied or felt real. I was always looking for something more. Christianity is beyond more, its a life style, way beyond death. When I really learned what Jesus did it made me realize how love is, how he cares for us. I wanted to know more about Jesus , he was my knight in shining armor. He saved me. I`ve always felt lost but when I found him, I no longer did. I have such boldness and realize its for God. Its for defending his kingdom. When I found God a void was just filled, I felt at peace and it felt right.Now I know God. Like the last puzzle piece was put in place. Everything good comes from him. God is just awesome and I just want to share him with the world.

Re: Hello there!!!

May I ask why you read an inferior, false per-Version of God's word as the New Life per-Version?

The only True and Correct Bible is the KJV1611.

What denomination of church do you attend?

I actually did turn to God after those events but not because of them.

Oh I didn't allude that you turned to Christ because of them at all.

I always knew there was a God, rather knew of him.Every religion never satisfied or felt real. I was always looking for something more.

I do hope you take Jesus for who He is, and not just as you want him to be. God is not always lovey dovey and with good reason. I ask you if you accept Him ENTIRELY as many people claiming to be Christians, don't.

Please don't think I am just drilling you as to your replies and comments. I am not. I have a genuine interest as I am a girls/woman's counselor and have dealt with young ladies having gone through similar life issues you have.

Onto a more pleasant tone. You are at design school at the moment? What is your style or perhaps signature "look" you glean your inspiration from?

Re: Hello there!!!

I want modest looking attire. Stuff God wants us to wear. My church is non denomination. If someone asks what religion I say none , Im just a follower of God. I follow the bible, Gods word. I know God isn`t lovy dovly , he is a very jealous God and will discipline us. Were here for him only, some people dont wanna hear that. But its the truth. His way is the way the truth and the life, can`t argue with God. Its his way or the high way to hell.

[Phebe Carlyle]

Re: Hello there!!!

It's nice that you want to design clothing that is modest. It does however have to be appealing to the gals who'd be wearing it. Unfortunately many designs out there considered "suitable" for the Christian "gal around town", leave a lot to be desired and are downright dowdy. Despite our faith, we also want to be women. IMO, God gave us a wonderful form for good reason and it is up to us to look our best for our husbands (or beau's) but still stylish and modest in Church or at a formal Church gathering.

I would love to see your designs at some point.

Welcome Sister!

And thank you for the honest and sincere introduction. You are among friends.

Please distance yourself from your wicked father! A drunk meth addict biker is nothing but trouble and will lead you back to the clutches of Satan. Offer him the Good News and if he spits in the eyes of Jesus, be done with him.

I relate to the sinful lifestyle as I was once a foul philandering homo, hooked on narcotics and opiates. After twenty years of abusing my body and soul, I recall the night in 1986 when I was on my hands and knees at a truck stop, unable to stand or walk after chasing the dragon yet again, when I finally let Jesus fully enter me. I have been free of the wickedness since. If Jesus can save me, He can save anyone.

We will pray that you maintain your regained purity in Christ.

In His name.

Re: Hello there!!!

Welcome to God's favorite forum. It's great when Jesus sends us a gal who knows what's what.

If you'd like to find out more about Landover Baptist Church, please read THIS thread created especially for new posters.

If you have a question, use the "search" function before posting it. Most likely it is being discussed somewhere on this Godly forum. Please don't waste God's precious bandwidth.

Re: Hello there!!!

So your daddy's in the Bandidos? And at a high rank, no less. I've actually been inside a Bandido clubhouse, though not exactly by their invitation.

I was impressed by their similarities to many Godly churches.

They both like women to obey orders without question. Both use alcohol for sacramental purposes. Both require strict obedience to Authority. Both expect members to declare themselves before other men (flying colors vs witnessing...), both have important symbols (the Frito Bandido on the center patch vs the Cross of Christ...), both have devotional services, and a hierarchy, and a gathering place rich in history, and on and on.

Of course these are just superficial similarities and there is nothing remotely the same, whatsoever, in the personality structure of a 1%-er and a strict fundamentalist God-fearing Christian!
