My experiences of my Christian faith

Hi everyone, I posted the link to the blog in my first post when we had different rules and my name was showing my full name on it so with the new rules when it got updated it had to be edited out to comply.

Anyway, thinking about the confusion and how Google documents can be good to read which I linked to before privaely later and downloaded is a good alternative.

I thought I would add a new page for my story of my journey of my Christian faith and my experiences of being an autistic Christian who is diagnosed with autism and share it with you on a blog which is wordpress. It is a single page woth no identifying names on it. It is was the best thing in my life I have done to write  it. I hope that it helps someone who needs some support and who is looking for it.

Hi everyone, I posted this post when it was ok to post a link to a blog but  it has been taken out since it was updated more recently so in accordance with their current rules.

As a link to my blog no longer remains to read my story which was largely the point of this thread. I have decided to share with you a link to my story of the journey of my faith which does not contain any photos and doesn't reveal my name either. There is no information that indentifes me in it and I did this about 18 months ago at the same time as I posted this to. This was to give people an opporuntity to download it to read it in privacy without pictures if they wanted to etc. 

If you read it I do hope you enjoy it. It is on my experience as a Christian of some duration and it focuses on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit an how  God being so good to me equipped me to cope with my autism and how he blessed this to use for his service.I wrote about my experience at church to and how I do still get overwhelmed at tmes and how this makes me feel  I wrote this to try and support different people and one of those was for autistics. My autistic experience as a Christian diagnosed with autism is mentioned throughout my Ebook.

I wish you all well

Hi everyone, I wrote this post and it is a bit on the supernatural theme and it is fun and it is summer I thought I would share it with you. Happy summer to those of you are in it. This is intended for me who used to like supernatural a bit as a child and those in those in generation who quite interested in this theme of supernatural things too.

Just having fun with the Alex Mack kid spin "supernatural" style as a Christian.

Hi everyone, memories of my childhood and early youth give me pleasure at times. I am a child of the 70s and I liked to watch The Secret World of Alex Mack and Out of this World about Evie Ethel Garland in the 90s as a teenager and in my 20s. I was watching these tv series for fun-I was a Christian at that time. By that time I was also given one of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit that is mentioned in the Bible. God being so good to me, gave me one of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit for protective purposes in my life-which was the Gift of Prophecy-mainly the Gift of Vision. 

I went on the hunt at 16 as a Christian hoping for a miracle, but God gave me something for free in that place even more sensory special and not purchasable when I committed to him further. I served in the ministry in the church briefly with these gifts which were verified. I have written about how all this occurred in my life time testimony of my Christian faith which you can find and read on my blog. You can too watch how this came about and it was supernatural and that can be watched at the end of my blog post.        

Disney over to you- God’s power can do better-why not a movie or series on God and his majestic power and supernatural strength for this generation. Jesus appeared to be sensory to touch and knew that someone for example had touched his clothes when they obtained healing from him. Being discerning in the spirit I think allowed Jesus being able to hear the plans of evil/the Devil when they were near him and God recently gifted me this recent spiritual ability and gift as well-this is the Gift of Discerning spirits which can be found in the Book of Corinthians in the Bible.

In the Catholic tradition Jesus on the crucifix is also pictured sometimes with angelic beings around him on earth unseen to the unknowing eye. Jesus did though have his own angels which is mentioned in the book of Luke which ministered to him in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus could call on angels too if he chose to. In the Book of Matthew Jesus said- I can call on my Father and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels. Jesus was the Son of God on earth in a mortal body and was fully divine. There is a constant stream of energy in Heaven called the Divine Essence which he could draw on at any time if he wanted to. We to know this as the Holy Spirit. Some of Jesus' miracles like healing being fully divine he could do on the spot, whilst his disciples needed to do praying and fasting to remove malevolent spirits.

I was always a sensory kid and had experiences under 10 that seemed supernatural with my brother. At 17 I mentioned that I was given the gift of the Holy Spirit-Prophecy-vision. I never heard really of a story of someone like me-I read one book of a slightly similar tale at 17 and instantly knew it was true when I picked it up from the library and tried to remember the name later of the book later in life but never could. The woman who wrote the book wrote that she had a light manifestation in her home of the Holy Spirit which led to her having a miracle-and it seemed similar to mine and I was glad to read their account at just 17, two of a kind.

 I liked to watch these supernatural sitcoms and dramas, knowing they was not the real thing and having giving prophecy in God’s church-knew the seriousness of the role. It was fun to watch them though and feel not an outsider and out of place and see more people who were a bit more supernatural like me, due to my Father’s grace of the Holy Spirit alone though in my case. I have had interactions with the Holy Spirit who I have trusted throughout my life. I leave my life in the capable hands of my Father and have never asked him for anything spiritual and wouldn’t myself, he has given me enough myself without asking, more than I could have imagined and everyday I start again in grace and following him. All of my Father's gifts are equal to me and suitable for the person given to them for his purposes.

I know a life before and after the administration of the Holy Spirit’s Gifts and the glimmer to another world and how my worldview slightly changed to a better one. I wonder if this is the invisible world versus visible that the Bible speaks of in the Book of Corinthians. God has shown me his invisible world and I have shared that with you on this blog. As an autistic spectrum kid who was a Christian it was a delight. I could ask for no more.

Hi everyone I just wanted to let you know that I have change the name of my blog to-

[Link removed by Moderator as it was against Online Community rule 2] I have had some real fun with the sharing my experiences of being an autstic and a Christian and the sharing of my general experiences of my faith. I have shared some past private posts and given the blog a new look and you wouldn't believe I am still using that free easy to use blogger but a different style. Having autism and being a Christian was a story I had a joy to share.

Really good to read that you have found the right church for you IrishInManchesterUK. I am sorry for you what you have endured as well. I went to Catholic schools growing up to 19 but I was a Christian. I now attend an Anglican church  service on Sunday at 8am but I am actually non demontional as I wrote in my testimony. The church I attend is less than five minutes from where I live which is so helpful now. We should try and not give up our personal faith for anyone, but it sure can be hard at times. I try to attend on a Wednesday at my church as well to get Holy Communion, the bread and blood of Jesus. I updated about that as well. As this service is slightly longer and more attended. I may stim discreetly in it as well. I couldn't do without my faith.

With the Bike London my 8am service is closed this week and I am looking if I can attend another service not too far hopefully where I can get the Holy Communion. I just found out about Episcopal Church's and they do Holy Communion as well. I will return to my normal church the week after.

I read as well that the Jewish Passover which is from June 11th to 13th celebrates God giving the Ten Commandments as well, so that may be a date that should be kept in mind as well.

I was raised a Vatican II Catholic in Rural Ireland, but went away from it for some years after I came out as gay, then having endured a lot of prejudice and discrimination from within the gay community long before my later in life diagnosis, I cut all ties with and support for the gay community 18 years ago to become a Traditional (Mass in Latin) Catholic - I found that during Covid, my faith strengthened and deepened - I’ve always been “on the outside looking in” at a lot of stuff, which has enabled me to objectively and dispassionately see the truth about a lot of things going on in our world and I am more convinced than ever that our only way out of our current situation is to return to traditional values as much as possible 

I agree with you life is a trial. Good to read that you're coping.

I'm coping. That's the most important thing.

Life is a trial, but we stand before our maker.

Thank you Desmond 79

I wanted to study Religious Studies A level but it wasn't offered. It was one of my stronger subjects at GCSE. I wanted to be a religious studies teacher at one point. My college course was diverse the religions that were covered, but I had my faith. I think sometimes lust can be taken a bit litreally when you hear of it. Hope things are going well.

Thanks, Rachel.

I first became interested in faith at GCSE Level, thanks to my RE Teacher. At first, we thought she was mad (saying how TV was Satanic and that Sex was only for a Married Couple) but, on reflection, she was vindicated.

However, I had my struggles with lust for as long as I can remember; from 14, onwards. I was 'influenced' to be a 'New Lad' based on the music I listened to; and following football. But, now, I can see that men are supposed to take responsibility and become head of the house.

My room is a tip, and my cleaner shall come tomorrow morning. I'll probably make it up to her by hoowevering the cat litter I spilled on Friday night. I never made the time to clean it up.
