Bible Discussion Thread

Yes, II thought I became a Christian at. 23years old.I walked up an aisle, was a Roman Catholics, then. And everything they were telling me to do, I thought I had done. And I sat back down, pleased with myself. A girlfriend had invited me to his healing service. And I never heard from her again. Meanwhile, I was on my own, sinning, even had an abortion. Then I met a gentleman, whom I later, married, who knew the Bible inside and outside. I knew God. Wanted me to know Himself and the Bible. But my mom had told me the Bible was a book of fables. And so I had many doubt's, and still do. When I t ry to read the bible, I get really anxious, and read like I!m reading fiction. How do I get the faith to believe all that the Bible says, and that Jesus is real, and is the Word Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Barbara, your question and plea for help is indeed your first step to coming close to God. You are earnestly seeking Him, and my fervent advice to you is to stop "trying". To surrender yourself to Jesus. It is Jesus that pulls you to Him, to His ever-loving bosom. Through your faith, Jesus dissolves your worldly lusts and desires, and gradually you become ever-more receptive to experience the miracles that Jesus pours out upon you, in such glorious abundance! May you pray to God your Father in the name of Jesus to open your spiritual eyes. May God so bless you abundantly, I pray, Amen.
