Hi Travis,
Jesus is coming soon. Every thing that you do in your life counts. Jesus Christ is the way and the truth and the life. The only way to the The Father God is through Jesus. You must have a relationship with Christ in order to know exactly what God wants you to do. Have faith. Do not doubt. If you love God will all your heart, you will be able to walk by faith and not by what you see. Trust God alone. He is the only one who will never fail you when you trust Him. He is God Almighty. Do you believe in His forgiveness of all your sins through Jesus Christ's sacrifice for you? You must be born again of His Spirit to be able to walk in the newness of His life in you. Go watch finalcall07 on YouTube. His messages will both edify you and encourage you. I am also inviting you to come visit my blog, I write about many of my trials and Word from God there. God is real. Take your life seriously. The day of His coming draws near. You must be ready and perfect in Christ and be found watching and waiting, if you want to be with Him for eternity. The world and all its pleasures will pass away. Be not deceived by them.
Praise the Lord,
Pam
Thank you for posting your prayers, I totally identify with the content, Recently things have been a bit dissappointing for me, been feeling so alone, like I was the only one feeling this way. Reading your prayers somehow made me feel understood and more normal and encouraged and empowered so thank you for giving! Even when our message is not of a positive subject matter God just wants us to offer it up to him, to always turn to him and share with him and commune with him and most of all be honest with him. God never wants us to pretend all is well and we're relying on our own strength when he really knows the truth and he'd rather just hear it no matter how bad it is as long as we are communicating with him he's happy. All he wants is all of us, the pretty and the ugly, the good and the bad, every aspect of who we are, he wants it all, he loves it all. there's not an inch of our pain that he can't handle or won't accept. He loves us just as we are, no matter what! Isn't that amazing???
Why dont I wait and have faith Lord. Please help me to not be so quick when I think that You wont provide. You always do in the end, I am just to impatient and dont have enough faith. I am sorry Lord and ask Your forgiveness.
I dont know if God thinks it is right to post a prayer here or not but my aim is not just to record some of my toughts/conversations with God but also so that other people know that they are not the only ones with problems etc and that there is nothing to be ashamed of admitting your problems etc.
You are totally correct. Another thing that always blows me away and I am generalising here, is how often Chrisitans deny God. It is almost as if we are embarrassed to be Christians and dont want people to know. People of most other religions love to tell people what their religion is and in lots of cases die for their religion but not us Christians and that is a real shame.
Isn't it amazing how stupid, inept, hard hearted, and lazy we are? Of all the things I ever wanted to do, pleasing the Lord is first. And you'd think we would REALLY chase after what we want most. But I am blown away at how often I let Him down.
Were it not for the Grace of God in Jesus there would truly be no hope.
Thank you for your blog. He has His children. And it's good to know we're not alone.
God created in the beginning. Six days it took to fabricate the organic realm including male and female, dark and night, water and land with all life existing. God gave every herb bearing seed and tree to be the force of energy to all created by god. This took god six days. And god saw it was good. God rested on the seventh day.
While god is resting the LORD GOD also creates the earth and heavens. Man is created once more of the dust of the ground and the breath is blown into his nostrils and man became a living soul. LORD GOD placed the man in the garden, commanding him to eat of every tree in the garden but the tree of the knowledge of good and evil shall not be eaten of. If man ate of this tree he would die.
LORD GOD didn't like the man alone so he made all animals and birds bringing them to Adam, the man to be named. What he called them were their names.
Finally LORD GOD put Adam in a deep sleep and took a rib from the man and created woman from it.
Both were naked and not ashamed of it.
The Serpent tricked the woman with a question. Asking, hath god said that they cannot eat of every tree of the garden?
Notice the serpent asks what god commandeth not LORD GOD. The woman answers that the fruit of the knowledge tree is forbidden. This is where I become confused. The tree of eternal life is open to them. Knowledge is upheld. Why would they choose to become wise from the forbidden tree insteAd to become immortal from the lifetree thAt is permitted?
Death does not encompass them as was promised. Instead their eyes are opened to the surroundings, realizing they were without clothes. The voice of the LORD was upon them and the man and his wife hid from it.
They chose to have knowledge over eternal life.
I used to believe that god and LORD GOD were different beings but now I think they are just the yin yang of god. The balance of the pure with the possessiveness of dark.
Are you kidding me???? Is this the what our divine creator has been mocked down to??? Why, sir, do you love the Lord? Why sir do you thank him almost out of a polite gesture that is as artifical as your lifeless and silly prayer that,I know, you expect to grandly and brilliantly be given a life changing answer from your sweet God because deep down if you couldnt give God your sad, horrible,ungrateful prayers you might have to stand tall and face that self-made fear in the eye. In that moment you would gain control and responsiblity over your actions and give God the true praise that he desrves for answering your prayer.why do you believe that prayer was worthy of sacred holiness and seriousness...I can not fathom the fragile and weak response that would shatter you into a million pieces. The stability of your 'wrong' life if you encountered a traumatic issue...I bet your first thought would be God will help...the God that I love enough to completely disrespect with my prayers of pity and self-destruction that I have created but expect my creator to magically improve and save the day...We are pushing the beauty and laughter of God further and further away from reality we want but can't balance due to the rough, hard, bad days. We have no clue or conviction of the true power and love of God. God is waiting for a witness to many miracles happening right under people like this writer of prayers but really it wasn't a prayer it was a complaint that hopefully gets filed. I bet if their was a complaint dept that it would be the heaviest and most redundant cycle of continually repeating of the same 'poor me'and "I can't do this anymore'prayers that it became the big joke on highly evolved human beings that are capable of creating problems but cannot handle the solving of them....they resort to reaching their worthy hands to God so he can also continue to be the continually illusion of the God that saves and loves but in reality he is as vacant and as ignored as the beauty he created for us as a loving reminder of his stellar presence. We are past due for a improvement but until the prayers start getting sent to places other than the complaint dept we are just going to have to keep on acting like we have big probelms and keep on sending prayers to God so we can feel better and wait for a answer that actually cannot be granted by our God do our free will that seems to be present only when needed and covered in pity when we are unwilling to participate in reality and the rational world we so often say a pray of wanting to be saved from the living part of our wrong life. God laughs and smiles while waiting to be asked a question that isn't made of pity and selfish desires of the spoiled humans that mock God nightly and don't even feel the echoe due to the obvious fact that God is on a temporary leave of absence, to a funny paid for sabbatical.
I can imagine God responding to such a prayer with laughter and bright radiating love that continues to dance to the tune of unleashed freedom for the human condition. We pray for more...we pray for advancements in living conditions, in our careers; we let tears of pity and relentless beating and shaming of this 'bad' life bruise and enable us to see the beauty that is always silently, and quietly swaying in the background that goes unnoticed due to our constant battle for the infamous void that follows all improvements...that upgrade is soon due for yet another upgrade;we can not find peace in a world creating bigger and better and more expensive improvements for the simple fact that we have no worth or value or understanding in the pure meaning of love and life...the simple and easy life that feels your soul with a yummy treat that was made by the forgotten man that holds that soul hostage; the same man that prays for God to save him from his 'bad'life.We have created a world within a world and call it our 'bad' life. We have no problems big enough or truely important enough for the divine grace of God to step up and interven. We are crying for a mircle cure to save us from living....we have lost the true and pure essence and real value of our life's worth. Have you witnessed a miracle lately? When is the last time another human being connected with you and saw your eyes in his and that human being moved you to tears? When is the last time you said a 'thank you' prayer for all of the 'bad' things that can become evil? My question you isn't they lack of merit to your prayer but my question is why can't you fix this problem without a divine intervention? Do you really need the sweet lord to help you through possible miving out of home? Is this that important to you? God has a purpose and beautiful song that is assigned to everyone....I hope you are able to tune in and sing your song before you leave this 'bad' life with the it hidden and buried in your beautiful body. What have you given God lately?
There is a way to overcome all your struggles and very quickly - through a fast. The Holy Spirit will take control of your flesh and your life and supply all your needs during the time of the fast and also deliver you from all the temptations of the evil one. You will see a change in your circumstances, you will get your faith back if you will do this. Feed the flesh no more. God has done many miracles for people through their fasting. Here is a link that will help:
I am no expert and in fact most of the time I am totally condused about God and how he works, all I know is that He is real. From what I do know is that He is a God that does not hold grudges. If You ask His forgiveness and mean it He will forgive You and want You by His side.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and I praise God that you got out of there and found him and his strenght. Such a sad thing to happen to a young lady and I really dont have the words to say what I feel for you. My daughter is your age and I would be devestated if that happenned to her.
Pray for spiritual gifts: Faith, peace & rest etc. Faith that pleases God is faith that is steadfast and unmovable and proves itself by its faithful works and actions. It is faithfulness. God who rules the universe is in control of your life, if it be you are His, and His perfect will will be done, His plans and ways are not your ways. Faith trusts and is able to surrender completely to the will of God. Do not strive anymore in your spirit but rest in His promises and have patience and wait upon Him, seek Him and He will speak to you, the Holy Spirit will be your comforter. Be still so you can hear Him speak into your spirit to encourage you. Build up your faith by hearing the Word of God. When you go to God you must go believing with all your heart that God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. He has heard your requests and He will provide according to His perfect will and not yours. He knows what is best for you. Have childlike trust in Him always and do not be doubleminded.
James 1: 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering . For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed . 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Matthew 21:21 KJV
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed , and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done .
I believe God had meant it to be so, according to:
James 2:5
Hearken , my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
Matthew 35-46
35 For I was an hungred , and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty , and ye gave me drink : I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick , and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying , Lord, when saw we thee an hungred , and fed thee? or thirsty , and gave thee drink ? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in ? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed , into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred , and ye gave me no meat : I was thirsty , and ye gave me no drink : 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying , Lord, when saw we thee an hungred , or athirst , or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying , Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
