Trust in the Lord sister.....
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Peace be with you
Where is the solid proof that our LORD Jesus Christ is real not just in the Bible?

Always remember the words we shared when we first chatted together... Trust in the Lord and.......
Jesuslovesypu sister, when He says your sons are forgiven, they are forgiven.
He loves you, He knows you didn't mean to sin, more importantly He knows you are really sorry.
He would want no more, he would expect no more, except that you take him at his word.
Jesus loves you, I know that,I can feel that in my spirit, we do too. You take care of yourself. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Brother-Paul can I ask you to explain to me how to address the Lord, Christ, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, in different situations. ie; praying, walking with, thanks giving, worship.
So am I chatting with Jesus in my daily life or with God or with Christ or the Holy Spirit or all three at the same time as they're All God (the trinity)? Do I pray to God or Jesus or through the Holy Spirit?
I'm just confused who I should be addressing in different situations. I know that each prayer should end with, in Jesus' name Amen. I always say Father, I feel like I'm talking with my Father (about more serious stuff) and sometimes I feel like I'm having a laugh and giggle with Jesus and crying and hugging Jesus (like I would with a brother) my life is no longer my own, my body no longer my own, my will is now God's.. so does the Holy Spirit fill me or Jesus or God or all three?
Thank you
And Thank you for being so kind to me.

Jesus said, when you pray say... Our Father
Everything Jesus did pointed to the Father in Heaven, Hence... Our Father in Heaven.
The first and most important thing sister is to follow your heart, pray to God our Father, pray as you feel about the things on your heart, thank Jesus, thank the Holy Spirit, but most important pray 'In Jesus Name'.
Heavenly Father, we pray for our sear sister Josephine, help her not to worry how to pray but to pray to you through Jesus Christ our Lord, in Jesus Name. Father we are so grateful for your blessings, guidance and protect, we pray your Holy Spirit will guide us in all we do, including our prayers to you in Jesus Name. Amen
I don't tend to pray to the Holy Spirit, but I do thank God for the Holy Spirit.
We pray to the Father through Jesus, the Holy Spirit intercedes our prayers through Jesus to our Father in Heaven, the Holy Spirit carries our God's will in our lives and the prayers God has chosen to answer. Now no prayer returns void, but some prayers remain with God until hearts of those we are praying for are changed.
Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer as a guide, we don't have to pray it, we can allow the spirit to guide us in prayer, but I feel when we look at the components Jesus included, in so few verses, we should all come back to it and pray it.
Matthew 6:6-15 (NKJV)
Jesus said, but you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
9 In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven, [Jesus points us to the Father]
Hallowed be Your name. [We are to hallow His name, Holy is His Name]
Then the pattern changes from heaven to earth.
Your kingdom come. [We are to pray for The Kingdom of God to come to earth - Emmanuel God with us]
Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. [We are to acknowledge God's will, will be done, on earth as it is in heaven]
That is one big WOW! Heaven on earth, God's will on earth as in Heaven. Heaven is Holy earth is full of sin!]
The pattern moves on again, next we pray for us.
Give us this day our daily bread. [Father, give us this day our daily bread]
What is our 'Daily Bread' it is The Word of God, but it is also the basic things we need to live the next 24 hours (Daily Bread)]
So we are to ask these things daily according to Jesus, by praying to Our Father in Heaven.
We now move to forgiveness, now we could say why is this not first, Jesus gets the order correct, look to God, in heaven, hallow His Name that is first.
And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. [We are to ask forgiveness of our sins but must forgive others also]
If we don't forgive others, God cannot forgive us.
Next we come to an unusual verse, an unusual request, would God lead us into temptation, He could, let us not forget (As RCC seems to) Jesus said to Peter, that satan as asked for you that he may sift you as wheat! Luke 22:31-32
And do not lead us into temptation, [We are to pray not to be lead into temptation, we have the blood of Christ, we have the whole armour of God available to us]
But deliver us from the evil one. [The devil has no rights over any saved soul, God will deliver us from the evil one, just ask in prayer]
Then comes the Glorification, thanking God for all these things and giving Him the Glory
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen.
14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Some of our other brothers and sisters may want to share and help you in prayer.
Bless you.

We have discussed praying, walking with Jesus is taking up your cross daily and following Him. Wanting to be like Him, we will never fully succeed buy that is our goal. The closer we are to His teaching the closer we are walking with Him.
Thanks giving is giving God the Glory through Jesus for everything, for your life, when you wake up for another day, for the birds, the bees, the butterflies, the flowers the trees, the rain because it clears the air, removing pollution, removing pollen, removing dust.
What God created was beautiful, He was well pleased. We give Him thanks for all these and more, rejoicing from the heart.
We give thanks for our parents, children if we have any, even if they are naughty, or worse. We see the good in things, in people, we love one another as Christ loves us, it is all giving Glory. We help a struggling person, a lady with child, a disabled person, an elderly lady, what ever we do which is to help others is a blessing. God Blessed us Josephine, not for our benefit, but so that we will bless others and bring Glory to God, giving us every reason to sing His Praises and give thanks, to God, through Jesus.
That is also worship, when the heart sings, when the heart is full of Joy in the Lord.
Let us all sing His praises daily, He hasa given us so much to be thankful for and to praise him for.
He Blessed me today, I pass that blessing to you, it is a God given blessing for you to pass on to others, together we give thanks praise His Holy Name, we are worshipping, in song, in word, in prayer. O worship the King.
Bless you (here we go again)

What do you mean when you say 'through Jesus'?
How do you pass a blessing on to another? By doing something kind for them?

Your not a pain sister.
This is what Jesus tells us, He is THE WAY to the Father
John 14:5-14 (NKJV)
5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?"
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."
8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us."
9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
So we are to pray to The Father in Heaven, through Jesus Christ our Lord, and because Jesus says, v14 ask anything (according to God's will) in MY NAME, He will do it. So we include in or conclude our prayers IN JESUS NAME.
John 15:16 (NKJV)
16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
John 16:23-24 (NKJV)
23 And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.
24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
I love John's Gospel
May the good Lord truly Bless you, In Jesus Name, Amen

Greeting in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Have you been blessed today, if you are alive that is your first blessing, but God blesses us 'abundantly', without measure, even to overflowing. That is amazing, what we have to do is see the Blessings, this often starts by realising, wow God Blessed me earlier why didn't I realise at the time, next time you will and you will be amazed how many blessings you receive each day.
We can bless others in a multitude of ways:
God loves you, you love others
God provides your daily bread, daily essentials, you can give to others or food banks, you could also bake a cake for a friend, a family member you haven't seen for a while, an elderly neighbour.
You are blessed by someone's kind remarks, bless them also with kind remarks.
The list is endless you will have many more examples come to mind.
It is also important to bless those who hurt you, or curse you.
Matthew 5:43-48 (NKJV)
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
To bless someone who curses you is like pilling on the hot coals, they expect a reaction, they want a reaction, you do not respond as they want you to, Bless them that curse you, you will be blessed for doing so.
Luke 6:27-31 (NKJV)
27 "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.
29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.
30 Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.
31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
John 13:14-17 (NKJV)
14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Who would want to wash someone's dirty feet? It is a lesson Peter found hard to swallow, Jesus did so, it was a blessing from the Lord with an instruction 'do as I have done'. It doesn't have to be just washing people's feet, blessed are you if you do them.
Bless you

Why do you find it so easy to believe that there's a "SATAN", and find it difficult to believe there's a GOD or a JESUS?? That should be a clue to the real SOURCE of your confusion.
