i have a sister in the lord who needs help

B
bible1985 Jun 28, 2009

Her name is angelica and she lives in canada in a very bad situation, she has told me that the ministries out their have not been able to help her and she has been in deep depression for a long time. If anybody could possibly email her and talk to her about her problems and possibly help her out she really needs it. I will post what she wrote on prayway.com because i know she needs someone really bad, so here it is and then i will give her email.

I don't understand why God isn't meeting my needs anymore. I don't think that He loves me anymore ! I see Him blessing my roomate who verbally and mentally abuses me, who smokes weed, and hangs out with the lost, doesn't want to read the Word or go to church. God has blessed him recently with at least over $400.00 worth in clothes, money, and has been taken out to restaurants to eat. My roomate keeps telling me that I don't have enough faith and I thought that I did, so maybe I don't.
All the while he's getting blessed, I'm sitting here with very little clothes to wear, little food, no friends, depressed, no joy and my body has no energy to walk. Why is this happening to me ? Why isn't He meeting my needs ? What am I doing wrong ? What am I not doing ? I feel forsaken by Him and I'm sinking further into depression, and I feel abandoned by God and I beginning to believe that He doesn't love me anymore. What's going on ? I've started to praise the Lord despite of it all and I am seeing no good results, but rather I've been hassled by my mean and nasty landlady and rumors are being told about me in my apartment building by people that I don't even know.
My life really sucks and I don't know why God is allowing this to happen to me. I must be cursed. I can't take anymore of this and I don't know what to do anymore because everything that I attempt to do fails. Please tell me what to do and why this is happening to me, I can't take anymore of this.

Excuse me!!! but am I reading this wrong??

Her name is angelica

OK, so this is a female? right?

blessing my roommate
All the while he's getting blessed

And this is a male?? Do I understand this correctly?

Now, to me this is a no-brainer. This female is suffering from the results of sin, pure and simple. She is shacking with a male, is getting depressed. Good! She needs to remove herself from this nest of sin and then see what happens.

So, she says they do not have sex? Yeah, and I just saw pigs fly, too!

She is experiencing the consequences of sin. It is very wrong to live in sin and expect to be blessed by God! This is the height of foolishness and deception. You must tell her she MUST remove herself from this situation IMMEDIATELY! No body is helping her any by giving her sweet words of comfort without telling her the truth. And I would guess, if she is normal, she will know it. You will not be telling her anything she does not know. (For your information, I have worked as a volunteer at a Crises Pregnancy Center for many years, dealing with all manners of sins but primarily those involved in sexual sins. That is why I am so familiar with the mentality of these folks.)

I must be cursed.

Indeed she is - as long as she remains in sin. And that is a blessing, otherwise there would be no motivation to repent. You need to tell her she needs to repent, confess her sin to the LORD and demonstrate this by removing herself from this male and all appearances of evil.

God bless you with much wisdom as you deal with her (EDIT:) because you will be dealing with the forces of darkness.

Blessings,
ginnyrose

You are welcome. It is easy to miss...sometimes all you can see when you read a post the first time is this lady is in distress and 'poor thing! We need to pray for her..'

You have a job and it may well be God placed you there to bring salvation to this girl.

God bless you...

Ginny, how do you know she is shacked up? It's not a sin to have a male roomy. However, it's not conducive for proper behaviour, lest "people should talk" and your testimony be a laughing stock.

She's allowing herself to live under the devils territory and you can't live in that atmosphere and expect God's blessing. God's not blessing her room mate, the world looks after their own, it's a given.

There are many ministries that will lend a hand in Canada. I would have to ask why they are refusing to help her, there has to be more going on. Maybe they "know" her and she's "been around" and she's given them a hard time. I know that ministries had to cut back because of fuel prices, but people that go to Church can drive her there.

There is too much pointing the finger, to much "oh woe is me", she's done something to bring this upon herself.

But first, she needs to move out of that house.

I have sent this sister in the Lord an e-mail.

Blessings to all here.

thanks she probably needs it.

I will await any e-mail she might send.

Charity is longsuffering - Jesus even showed it when he was telling the Pharisees that they were of their father the devil - even saying these things to them it was Him living Longsuffering.

Paul also.
Peter also.
John also.
Jude also.

It's not a sin to have a male roomy

You gotta be kidding. This is a girl who has a male roommate: THIS is called shacking in the south, I do not care what you call it in your part of the country.

The scriptures tell us to abstain from the appearance of evil.

And male and females have very active hormones.

I have talked to too many females who have been involved with fornication. Illicit sex is more addictive then most drugs. Don't kid yourself.

Actually, your response really upsets me. It is not the kind I would expect from one who is interested in purity and holiness!

yah a man and a women should not live with one another unless they our married or family related. Ginnyrose don't be afraid to tell her the truth.

This is what my sister in the lord sent to me from canada today, i feel so bad for her.

Hi John,

I have already called those people and after I told them that I couldn't pay the amount that they are asking, and if they could possibly lower the price, they said absolutely no can do. Did you check the amount of money they charging people to stay there ? It's expensive !

Don't forget I'm on a disability pension that is less than $1000.00 a month, and my rent, bills, groceries and dog food comes out of that money. There is absolutely no money left to buy clothes, or vitamins or anything else.

I haven't been able to afford to go to a nice sit down restaurant in 10 years or even McDonalds, and the last movie I went to see at the theatre, was Jurassic Park ! The only thing that I can do and enjoy that doesn't cost me a cent, is hiking with my dogs down the trails behind my apartment building. Now I can hardly walk anymore because my legs have become too weak because I'm so malnourished because of a lack of B vitamins. I'm in bad shape, and until my finances get better, I have to continue to suffer and it sucks. If I could afford to eat healthier and to buy the vitamins and amino acids that my body needs, my depression would be more managable. You sent me a link to get some free reading material, and I can't even focus long enough on what I'm reading long enough to comprehend it. So I don't read anymore, and at one time I was a big time reader of books including the bible. Depression is so bad that it affects every part of the body, not just the emotions, and that is something that most people don't know. It's a crippling illnes, and it is the cause of many suicides every year.

I have been praying for healing for a long time for my depression and for my finances and nothing has changed. I have to believe that the Lord will act in His good timing and not mine, so I'm trying to stay patient as much as possible for that day. In the meantime I am asking for prayer from everyone for my healing. Would you also pray for me ?

I would also to say thank you for being my friend and keeping in touch with me. You are the only one in the Lord that I have contact with on a regular basis, and you are a god send. Thanks for that, and God bless you.

bible1985, who is this lady talking about? Surely not the people I referred her to?!!

bible1985,

The longer I think about this person, the more I am beginning to doubt 'her' story.

Let's consider: she has dogs: they eat - what does she feed them? If she would not have the dogs she could buy the supplements she needs to fix her nutritional problems.

She goes hiking with her dogs in one paragraph and the next one she says she can hardly walk anymore...

And Canada has socialized medicine. I suspect if she needed meds she could get them - if she needed them.

John, I am very skeptical of this person...it is beginning to sound like a concocted sob story designed to prey on your sympathies to wheedle money out of you!

I know if she had contacted the people I emailed you they would not be charging her money!

Her story just does not make sense anymore....

Her name is angelika. She said she called the missionaries, she said they were missionaries for indians and she said that they don't travel too often. I have been talking to her about a year now, i can tell she has problems but i think it is the unwillingness of ministries and fellow humans who just want to give wisdom but our not willing to help her. i feel sorrow for her and have for a long time. Its sad to say but sometimes nonbelievers seem to care more than some ministries i know of.

To Deepthinker:

Ginny, how do you know she is shacked up? It's not a sin to have a male roomy. However, it's not conducive for proper behaviour, lest "people should talk" and your testimony be a laughing stock.

Walters response:

[b]What does the Bible have to say about this issue-2 people of the opposite sex, living together?[/b]

The Bible says to abstain from all the appearances of evil. This kind of living arrangement would have both Christian & Non-Christians thinking & believing there is a sexual relationship and the Bible says if it offends my brother, then don't do it (1 Thes 5:22; Ephesians 5:3). Living together could also be a tremendous temptation for immorality. As a result, it is not honoring to God for a man and a woman to live together outside of marriage- A couple who is living together is assumed to be sleeping together—that is just the nature of things. Even though living in the same house is not sinful in and of itself, the appearance of sin is there. Like I said above, the Bible tells us to avoid even the appearance of evil (1 Thes 5:22; Ephesians 5:3).

Sincerely,

Walter

May I humbly suggest that this lady be sent a few links from this site that describe suffering such as [url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=29605&forum=45]this[/url] one or [url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=29143&forum=45&0]here.[/url]

Perhaps she may find a clue.
