God Delivered My Sister From The Spirit Of Insanity: My Testimony / Spirit Of Python / Soul & Spirit - Whats the difference? (2) (3) (4)
The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 8:54am On Jul 18, 2012 |
Like an ax-head floating up from under still waters, I slowly came awake this morning. As I stirred, I clearly heard a voice crying out from somewhere, "as a hart pants after the brook, so does my soul pant for you,o Lord". Puzzled, I opened my eyes. Where did the voice come from,I asked myself? It sounded like it had come from a separate entity. It suddenly dawned on me that it came from deep within ME. It was so clear,I have never experienced such all my years on earth. My spirit,crying out for its Maker... We are indeed just vessels. The real 'us' are our spirits. Many a time we feed our flesh, but neglect to feed our spirit, forgetting that our spirits need even more nourishment than our bodies because our spirits are the direct link to the One for whom we live and exist for; YHWH. I am so guilty of this I had to go in search of that verse because it has been such a long time since I had read that particular psalm-Psalm 42 vs 1. 3 Likes |

Re: The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 9:17am On Jul 18, 2012 |

Dis gal don carry me come dis religion section by force o! Anywaysss... Mama, great read. You are right, our spirits need nourishments. In order to do dis, you only need to wake up to ur spiritual responsibilities and possess ur heavenly provisions that are waiting for u. |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 10:23am On Jul 18, 2012 |
Idowuogbo: Dis gal don carry me come dis religion section by force o!My dia, waking up to one's spiritual responsibilities is easier said than done. How can it be, when the battle described in Gal 5:16-17 rages daily on our lives? "The flesh warreth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh" |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by cyrexx: 10:26am On Jul 18, 2012 |
Ishilove: abeg now, i have no sarcasm intended, trust me. I still read the bible for some inspirations, i even have a complete mp3 NIV version i still listen to. Abeg no carryover of former things. Sorry, if i offend you. |

I'm now your number 1 fan. |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Idowuogbo(f): 11:18am On Jul 18, 2012 |
Ishilove: It is understandable dat christians often wonder.If u read further down, verse 25 says...."If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit" Worry not about d flesh, There are specific things we can do 2 encourage d flesh to carry forth such spiritual responsibilities. Read Ephesians 5-19:20 |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 11:38am On Jul 18, 2012 |
cyrexx:Toh. Ok o Hug and make up? |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 11:45am On Jul 18, 2012 |

Re: The Yearning Spirit by cyrexx: 11:51am On Jul 18, 2012 |
Ishilove: isn't that what christ teach? I am apologising again, forgive me. (even though i was just catching some fun in that other thread, no harm was intended). I was a christian for many years and even up till now, i still read some passages for inspiration. No one can deny it contains some truths that will be of benefit to humanity. |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Idowuogbo(f): 11:59am On Jul 18, 2012 |
cyrexx: Oh Lord of signs and wonders! Hallelujah somebody! *she starts glorifying d I AM THAT I AM* Jehovah is your name....... Ishi carry d suprano bit for me abeg! |

Ishilove:And internal peace.... Kai! Sunday school good o! |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by cyrexx: 12:04pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
Ishilove: isn't that what christ teach? I'm apologising again, forgive me. (even though i intended no harm, i was just catching some fun) but here, we are talking about some scriptural inspirations. The fact that i'm no longer a christian doesn't mean i can't get inspired by one or two things from the bible, No rational person can deny that it contains some great truths. I'm like a divorced woman who still have some little feelings for her first love husband (religion). You dig? |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 12:05pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
Idowuogbo:Lmao! Kai,you dis lady ehn No you carry the soprano,i go carry the base. I gat a 'strong' voice |

Ishilove: Like an ax-head floating up from under still waters, I slowly came awake this morning. As I stirred, I clearly heard a voice crying out from somewhere, "as a hart pants after the brook, so does my soul pant for you,o Lord".am so inspired |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Idowuogbo(f): 12:26pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
cyrexx: Nna mehn..... Because he lives..... I can face 2moro..... Because he lives..... All fear is gone...... Oh boi! U better go bck to D truth. The bible says we should shine that light, keep it burning and allow the light to shine. Bruda, stop confusing ur beliefs. Read Job 21:22-23 It is well wiv u! Ishi I dey feel dis sechun o!

Like an ax head floating up from under still waters (lmfao), I slowly came awake this morning. As I stirred, I clearly heard a voice crying out from somewhere, " Their flesh shall nourish yours, Their blood shall flow within you. For as the beetle nourishes the Lark,....So shall human nourish Vampire!!!" |

Delafruita: I pray it inspires u to return to Christ. |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Delafruita(m): 1:42pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
FXKing2012:the best sarcasm is unnoticed.seems i did a good job |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by FXKing2012(m): 1:55pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
Delafruita: And why am I not surprised |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 4:51pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
Martian:Tsk tsk, Martian I knew it was only a matter of time before you turned your creepy attentions to me. Fortunately i have never taken your contributions in this section seriously, so please feel free to continue your bufoonery. May God have mercy on you |

Ishilove: Like an ax-head floating up from under still waters, I slowly came awake this morning. As I stirred, I clearly heard a voice crying out from somewhere, "as a hart pants after the brook, so does my soul pant for you,o Lord". If ^^^ is really true. Then its your mind at play. Mine is within my control now, I have reconfigured an unidentified active portion of my mental self (conscious mind) to reply intelligently back to me when posed a question, now we discuss intellogically, though rarely.....I toyed with this to such an extent that I tend to think it inches away from pefection, point is - it communicate with me first at times. I think it has to do with the combination of intuition and self-communication depending on the state of mind....kind of like soliloquy of the mind. I know my respond may sound very weird to you....but please don't tell me one demon or spirit will use it as a means to transmit evil thoughts to me....abeg! And by the way, I'm still washing the car (I'm sure you know what I mean), I will send you the link when am though, ....its quite tough to put in text. |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 2:39pm On Jul 20, 2012 |
ghostofsparta:Your mum's car na helele o. Lol ghostofsparta, dont try to nalyse my own personal experience, okay? I'm still eagerly awaiting the link |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Nobody: 2:55pm On Jul 20, 2012 |
Ishilove: May you give birth to the Spawn of Satan. Amen |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 4:00pm On Jul 20, 2012 |
Martian:If you believe Satan exists, then invariably you acknowledge the existence of a Supreme God 1 Like |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Nobody: 4:24pm On Jul 20, 2012 |
Ishilove: THE GREAT LEPRECHAUN is the Supreme God and Vampires are his angels. Yahweh is just a vagabond extremist in the comity of gods. That's why he's always asking for tithes from you people. |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 5:23pm On Jul 20, 2012 |
Martian:Martian,i don't if you are in jest or earnest |
Re: The Yearning Spirit by Ishilove: 1:35am On Mar 31, 2015 |
Wow, after three years someone 'likes' the op. Lol. I wonder where Martian is... Crazy fella. Hopefully he has repented from his ways and embraced the light. |
