Truthseeker .... It is so good to see you back. I'm sorry you are not feeling well. Let's hope for a better day ahead. But to speak of your comment below ... I would like to offer you hope.



Yes. That is just what He does TruthSeeker. And we are ALL living in sin. But He is faithful and just to both forgive and forget and to help.

I ain't listening to no demons...And I ain't listening to what THEY are doing....

So, what are YOU doing? What have you physically done?

Get up off that thang and go do something...Quit listening to those demons ..... MOVE!





















Watcha doing down here...get up off that thang and get out of here and move!

Truthseeker,
Faith is a gift given by God that becomes an individual journey and is dependent upon a principle excercised for the sake of others instead of ourselves. The promise is for all who willingly submit to the Giver of the gift.

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6 KJV

"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." Romans 10:17 NASB

"Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the [Holy] Spirit as the result of obeying the Law and doing its works, or was it by hearing [the message of the Gospel] and believing [it]? [Was it from observing a law of rituals or from a message of faith?]" Galatians 3:2 AMP

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"
Luke 11:13 KJV

"...the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness,
Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law that can bring a charge]." Galatians 5:22,23 AMP parenthesis &
brackets theirs.
Regards!

Each day when I pass from room to room I praise God for how He has spoiled me. None of the things I now enjoy are a result of deserved favor. Much of my earlier life was one of working at what I didn't enjoy. This has obviously affected how I view enjoyable activety now. Also the fact that I now have the "privilege" of viewing a multitude of people in the world who suffer under horrendous and seemingly intolerable conditions. It also has made a difference in why and how I put forth effort to give others some of the same joy I experience. Plus making some of the Word mean a great deal more to me than it has at certain times in the past.

" Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity." John 12:25 NLT

"He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them."
From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. " John 6:65-68 TNIV

"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." John 6:37 KJV
Blessings!

You must lead a really sheltered life, Neil. Or do I read a little sarcasm there?
This morning I was talking to someone, recounting the amount of things I was constantly walking on, sitting on, eating, living under, turning on, listening to and viewing, that brought joy to my life, in which I had absolutely no gift for providing for myself.
I wonder how many unbelievers are responsible for the good things I enjoy, people who often haven't met Jesus on a personal level. Is there ever any time when we aren't beholden to someone we'll never get a chance to give a leg up except in another person who Jesus providentially brings us into contact.

"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?" Romans 8:31 NASB
Regards!

And BTW, no other entity you might serve, be it self or lifeless statues, none can make this statement about themself.

"....God is love." 1 John 4:8 KJV

Hi Truthseeker007,

I am new here and am very glad to see your post. In one of them you said, "Right now, i am sick, not able to exercise, feels like i am dying because of fever. I wish it would kill me but unfortunately God wants me to suffer a little longer. If i would be able to exercise i wouldn t feel so depressed right now."

Someone said something about getting out and helping someone, but it appears from what you have written that this is not an option. Is that correct? I agree that the best medicine for depression is for you to find someone to help, but if you cannot get about then there seems only one thing you can do for someone else. That is to find someone who needs your prayers.

One way to do that is to listen. I work at a local hospital and almost every day, several times a day, there is a helicopter taking someone someplace or bringing someone who is very bad off to our hospital. If you cannot get outside then just listen for the helicopters in your area and when you hear one pray for the person that they are trying to help. Pray for the crew too; some are flying the chopper, some are caring for the person in need. Ask God to give them wisdom and skill so that the patient can get better and ask Him to do it in such a way that God will be glorified.

Maybe you know of someone (a friend?) who needs your prayers. Ask God to help them. And while you are talking to God ask Him to let you see what He is doing in your friend's life so that your own faith can grow.

God is very real, but He always waits for one thing. He wants us to really trust Him so sometimes He will wait until we are really down and can see NO other hope before He actually helps us. That's when you and I will actually let Him do stuff, in and for us. Things which we cannot do for ourselves, but really want to change.

In fact, you said, "i cannot do this on my own strength." and you're exactly right. None of us can. When we give up and let God do it, that's when things actually start to change.

I have studied this and put it all into a set of steps you can take to become a true, totally dedicated Christian. Are you ready? It seems to me that this is exactly what you are wanting, so check it out: http://www.bibletimelines.org/framedsteps.html

Blessings,

Greetings again, You wrote, "they will tell you to commit suicide because it will transport my soul to a better place. This is the only positive thing they ever did..." Odd that these demons want you to be in a better place and at the same time want to destroy you. Don't listen to them. They lie, just as you said.

"You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly...." Ja 4:3.

Gerry

I agree with Neil. Quit listening to demons. They only will tell you what you want to hear.....until you try to get away from them after having joined their *cause.* GET AWAY NOW!!!!!!

I know it's Scripture, Gerry, but that's *really* unhelpful. It's called 'blaming the victim'. God has made certain promises, yet somehow if he fails to come through on those promises, it's *always* our fault? Sounds very much like an abusive relationship.
