Love the man, hate the sin…

You made a choice to stop living this lifestyle, and then you chose to change, and did very well at it so far. His anger and leaving is simply because he can not deal with your choices in life. This is his problem if he wishes not to hold firm on the friendship. He needs more, is conflicted in how, and will move on.

Continue praying for him…this is not going to be easy, but nothing good comes without work and effort…this is what your soul needs right now, the removal of the constant struggle and reminder. This will give you a chance to start life on your own…to walk without crutches for the first time. Remember we are here watching you, you are not alone.

this stage is now comming to an end…

Amen to your heart and efforts!

Lana

I agree that him being removed from this house is better for me. Even though he’s treated me badly, I still feel sorry for him. He’s so lonely and miserable. He’s totally lost and doesn’t even realize it. Please pray for him. I still hope one day that we can be friends, and that he will come home to God and renounce this witchcraft.

I’m sorry for the sinful relationship I had with him, but I believe that it’s still okay for me to love him and want the best for him.

Please pray for me, too. Things are awful around here. Cliff hasn’t finished moving out yet, and he won’t speak to me or Mike. He won’t even look at us. Mike and I both own furniture, but most of the furniture in the house belonged to Cliff. He’s gotten most of his furniture out of here, so the house is quite empty. I’m sleeping on the floor right now, which isn’t turning out to be very good for my back.

Jeff:
I will pray for you, your friends, and Cliff tonight before Jesus truly present in The Blessed Sacrament. Saturday night is my date with Our Lord!

I thought this website on St Michael the Archangel may be helpful for you. I remember in the past you mentioning praying to St Michael, and I’d thought I’d take the opportunity to encourage it.
Here it is

Also, I thought this was an interesting painting of St Michael:

Thank you for your prayers. Please continue. I think Cliff needs prayers trhe most out of the three of us. Thank you for the link. I’ll look at it when I have more time.

I do have a bit of good news: my parents want to move in. They know Mike and like him, and Mike has no objections. Mike wants to stay indefinitely now. This is a five bedroom house, so there’s definitely enough room for everyone. My parents want to move in and help me out as much as possible until I’m able to go back to work. I still don’t know when that’ll be.

Good to hear that your parents are so supportive, that’s great! And Praise God for Mike as from what you have posted he seems to care about you unconditionally as a wonderful friend. Can your parents help you (financially) to get a bed?! Some people swear by sleeping on a super flat surface to help their back (think japanese futons) but being so close to the floor probably won’t help you keep cold-free and flu-free. I know you were suffering from that not long ago. Take your Vitamin C!

It’s a blessing that Cliff is out of the house. We can only pray that he realizes how empty his life is without God (emptier than your house must look w/o the furniture), and realizes that the power he gains from the occult practices will destroy him a little more every day. I can’t help but keep remembering the time you said he announced that he was looking into Judaism. To me, that’s some kind of spark, a pull toward God.

I don’t mourn the loss of the sinful relationship, but I mourn the loss of the friendship. That hurts. I do agree with you though, that it’s good that he’s leaving. Sometimes we have to do things that are difficult and hurt but are the best things for us. This is a case of that, I think. Cliff is angry at me and Mike now, but behind his anger I see a man who’s lost and confused. He’s looking for something to fill his void, but he’s not sure what it is. I think that’s why he started practicing witchcraft and talked about converting to Judaism a while back. He’s searching. Unless he realizes that his lifestyle is sinful and turns to Jesus, though, he’ll always be searching. He’s a very bitter, lonely person. He doesn’t really have any friends, they’re all acquaintances. He’s not close to his family either, and he doesn’t even have God to comfort him. It breaks my heart. I’ll be praying for him.

As for my parents, yes they could help me out financially with buying a bed. I’d rather not ask, but will if I have to. Of course, I’m hoping I can be working again soon and fully self-supporting again. I was having alot of problems with neck pain and stiffness. It was severe. My chirporactor told me it was my pillow, so Mike bought me a therapeutic pillow that was designed for people with neck problems. It’s made a difference.

Yes, I am thankful for Mike. He’s been a true friend for a long time. When I’m finally better and can go back to work, I’m taking him out for a huge, outrageously expensive dinner! 😃

Oh the wisdome, and growth i hear…keep up the good work! Imagine, when you started this, and now he is to be gone, you have a friend and your parents as wonderful graces from God for your devotion to carrying this cross…I will still be praying so very much for this…so much seems to be falling into place…don’t slack off in the devotion, but feel jubulent in his midst!

Jeff,
Offer up the suffereing you are curently in to Our Lord’s Passion.

This would be an opportune time to get the house blessed.

I am glad that your parents are helping you now! Did they know about your previious lifestyle? And I am sure they would be pleased about you leaving that behind.

I see that you see the Light at the end of the tunnel and that Light Is Christ!
 
Hey possome…where ya been, just wondering about any updates in the moving…Last you posted, that Cliff was almost moved out, you were minus much furnature, and your parents were gonna move in. On top of that, there was a bit of silence, and tension in the air fron Cliff…So how are you since then Jeff? How is Mike handeling all of the changes? Any word on getting the place blessed yet…?

Concerned, and still praying for you hunny!

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
We certainly pray that your are well, Jeff.
Hopefully this sign of inactivity is due to Cliff moving out and your parents moving in.

Hey Edwin…who owned the computer? …:eek: I hope Jeff has his own, or Mike does…that would make for a non comunication blunder!

Heres a positive thing to know…all of the furnature that Cliff took was blessed…lets hope it has longevity in those blessings!
 
Jeff, I hope your physical condition did not hamper your efforts in going to Mass today.

Sometimes no news is good news. In this case, I hope so!

Hey Lana, I had the same thought about the computer! I bet that the computer belonged to Cliff and he took off with it. I hope that we hear from him soon! I’m sure that everything will be getting better in that house.

I’m sure we will all continue waiting, praying, and hoping that the Lord is working powerfully, as He has done all along!

My thoughts exactly guys…we will do as before, not stop praying…it is a wonderful bit of armour we have within it!
 
My thoughts have been with you, Jeff. Hope to hear from you soon.

Folks, I want to ask you to please pray for Shawna. We had the Rite of Missioning last night and she didn’t show up again. In case you didn’t hear me tell about her please refer to post 15 of this thread. I’m worried about her demons.

Always praying…

I refreshed my memory by reading that message over. I’ll keep Shawna on my prayer list. It sounds like some issues may need to be resolved before she continues on her journey.
