Right?

This is exactly how I used to feel all the time! Pray and tell God how you feel about this topic... be completely honest! He wants to listen to you and take away your anxieties/fears. The closer you get in a relationship with God, the harder the road gets with doubts, persecution, loss of people you thought were friends, etc. All of those things are part of God’s plan for you to get closer with Him! The attacks from the devil also increase. Those voices in your head saying you won’t be saved are from the devil. He wants you to feel unworthy and incapable of inheriting the kingdom of God. Jesus Christ died for your sins and took EVERY OUNCE of punishment which was supposed to be ours. The more you remind yourself and thank God for that, the closer you will get to God, along with the higher certainty that you will inherit Heaven! Hope this helps!! God bless and I’ll be praying for you 💕

@@graceee4813 thank you for this. Needes this so much!

@@graceee4813 you still dont get it...

Say to these thoughts "Haha, I believe in God anyway!"

Amen

Yea uh Jesus ain’t real......this whole conversation is rediculous

Jensen I agree....but the question is....what can you do to convince me....and why has jesus convinced u but not me? 💩

Engineer Locs because we opened our hearts and humbled ourselves to know that God is real he he loves you too

The fact that your calling on jesus means you believe.

That's awesome and I'm happy it worked out for you!

People who believe in Jesus are idiots.

RECIPE FOR HOW TO REGAIN FAITH ---> If you don't know how to regain your faith in God, here is a recipe for you because I went through the same thing and I think this is the right recipe for it: a more peaceful approach is always better because this way you look down on others, convinced that you are really right because you stuck to a purely logical conclusion and view of things (that's how it looks from the side) and it's as if you don't leave room for what even you, so intelligent, don't fully know, and the question is whether God as such can even be understood logically , despite the fact that we possess or have been given such an understanding, even a doubtful one. Faith is not a matter of reason. And the logical mind cannot fathom many things, we are also rationally limited beings. Don't get so much used to this world and that you know how it really work, because you really don't. You just noticed some patterns. Remember that you are an SOUL. Think like one. Remember how is it to be one: You can never learn everything about this world, you just started. Stay unaccustomed, stay in tune, stay in anticipation. Stay faithful IN your ignorance, not TO it. I hope you will not hear this message of mine in a wrong tone, it was written with good intentions and a calm spirit.

`` I knew it was the truth``

Faith comes by hearing...and hearing the WORD of God. I struggled with this sittuation of not understanding who Jesus is for most of my life. I am 50 going on to 51 years of age. I was a Jehovah's Witness from 15years of age. I was disfellowshiped for visiting other churches trying to find out what the Bible really taught about Jesus Christ. My sister was Penticostal and used to tell me that the JW was a cult and so I begun to sturdy from outside materials seeking truth. She used to tell me that Jesus is God and I just couldn't understand how, knowing what JW had taught me. Only recently the Holy Spirit brought to my attention that truth from bible verses from the Holy Bible by the Apostle Paul's gospels. If only we just empty our minds of man-made phylosphies and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us into the Bible's truths.

peace& Love But How do I believe god

How can I be one with god

peace& Love this made me realize that everythin isnt over for me...Im so dissapointed with myself bc im struggling with religion but i still pray. Hopefully everything will change one day. Amen.

@@aba-jt4sl I was similar to you guy's faith was essentially dead to me for most of my life. Eventually though I realized with the studying I had done made me jaded, and philosophy had opened me up to how grey everything really turns out to be. I think we are creatures of mind and emotion. The emotion is the heart, but the depths of the heart to me is almost art. I see us as soul, and deeper essence. I have felt things, but maybe that's just my experience.

Easier said than done.

EXACTLY. I too got the same thing in my mind.

I will pray for you Cheryl. But know this, you don't need to go to church. In fact you could be all alone lying in bed. Just ask him to make himself real to YOU. Then you watch, wait and see. I know waiting on the LORD can be frustrating sometimes but keep asking and waiting, then you will know for yourself.

Cheryl praying for you Cheryl. Thank the Lord for your faith and keep thanking Him. If your mindset is one of gratitude, then you will see more reasons to be thankful.

Prayed for you. I struggle to believe as well, but I want to. I find some hope in the fact that I want to believe and so should you, it means God has not left you but He's doing work in your heart. Hang in there, I know it's hard

Thank you all very much for your support & prayers. It means more to me than you know. And Mable I have asked Him many times to make Himself real to me but then I read that I am supposed to have faith & believe without Him proving it so I get confused.

Sister. The only thing that really helped me with my faith in Christ to be real and realistically lived out is through watching many sermons about science's proof for God. One person named Kent Hovind helped me a lot when I doubted that God couldn't exist. But it seems that you need the power of the Holy Spirit to help you live the Christian life of faith in God. I will do my best to pray for you, however, I am weak at praying. But don't stop praying and seeking the Lord. My prayers took many months for them to be answered and significant results to appear. I struggled with them for so many months. But God didn't left me when my faith started to dwindle or because I don't pray much. He still says to me He loves me and that is enough for me to continue on. Don't give up. All things work for the good of those who love Him. He wont leave you through your darkest days. He is with you through fire and water and he wont let you be scorched or drowned. Believe in those word of God. They helped me a lot through my mental challenges. 😄💗

How did you receive the holy spirit

The biggest sin and scam is to tell people there's a better life after death then ask them to make a donation.

@Slidehhy for months I had been spending hours each evening listening to apologetics and systematically going through every objection that came to mind and actively seeking out what the arguments were against my objections. Given that theology had been debate for thousands of years, I found thoughtful, rational arguments for each one. Starting from the rationale for expecting that the universe had a caused beginning, the rationale for why that cause is best explained by a bring with personal agency. Then getting into whether that creator would be the God of the Bible. Digging into the historicity of Christ. Extra-biblical, non Christian first century sources that confirm the basic details of Christ's life and crucifixion. The historical evidence of early church fathers writings that confirm the beliefs were not changed over the centuries. Them pairing that with learning about the many detailed, specific, time-bound prophecies that were fulfilled in the old testament. And the prophecies especially ps.22 and Isaiah 53 which were both written long before Christ, prophecy the specific historically confirmed details of his persecution, and then make the outrageous (for the time) prediction that this suffering of the Messiah will cause the whole world to abandon their gods and turn to the God of weak and fractured little Israel. Something no world empire had ever achieved. And yet, over the last few thousand years AFTER these prophecies were written, we've seen them come to pass. The good of Israel, the monotheistic Abrahamic God, has been accepted by people on every continent, and very few polytheistic religions are left. But... I still didn't really believe. Rationally, intellectually, academically, I was fascinated to discover that there was actually so much reason to believe. I was shocked to discover it really isn't blind faith. I'd just always refused to genuinely seek out the arguments. But despite compiling a list of evidences and arguments pages long, I still didn't feel it in my heart. I didn't have a strong reason NOT to believe, but supernatural things just weren't "supposed to" exist. I was really struggling with the fact that I was starting to conclude God to be the most probable explanation for our reality, but that I still just couldn't believe in my heart. So I prayed about it. I listed off to God every piece of evidence in my list, one by one. And after each point I would honestly say, "and yet I don't believe". I had heard Christians often say they had personal relationship with God, and I really felt I needed that. I asked God to help my really know Him. Not just have a bunch of academic arguments bouncing around in my head, but please God just let me KNOW you. I then sat in silent prayer for about an hour. Nothing was happening. I was getting antsy. I had been an atheist for 37 years. I knew it was presumptuous to expect God to give me some big revelation so soon. I figured he'd probably test me longer. So after about an hour, I was ready to give up. I thought, "It's okay God, it doesn't have to be today. It's up to your will, not mine. I'm not gonna make demands of you. I'll keep trying as long as it takes". The instant I completed that thought, though I was sitting in a dark room at night, it was like a dimmer switch started turning on the lights behind my closed eyelids. It started gradual and then spotted up in intensity until it was blinding bright. Simultaneously I felt a sensation akin to getting the chills, but instead of the tingling passing over my body, it thumped into the center of my chest and such there, where it also accelerated and intensified. It was like a harmonic resonance vibration sensation. Like a Tibetan singing bowl or a tuning fork. It's hard to describe because there was a sense of awe but it was also terrifying. I was afraid I might go blind, or have a heart attack because the energy seemed to much for my body to contain. The whole experience probably lasted less than 10 seconds before I popped my eyes open and said, "Okay okay okay that's enough! Message received, thank you!" Then I sat there in shock for a good 15 minutes just trying to digest what happened. I was completely lucid and awake the whole time. I'd been meditating for 10 years prior, and many times had sat in meditation for over an hour. Nothing like this had ever happened to me before. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be opened.

To summarize how it happened, I think it was because of this: 1. I put in genuine effort to seek understanding, and open myself up to changing my worldview. 2. I came to realize the truth of what Piper says in this video. Despite all my work and study, I couldn't muster up faith on my own. 3. I was genuinely repentant. I felt like I ought to believe. Rationally, I had enough evidence. I felt like I was falling God by not believing. 4. In this state of genuinely seeking God, and genuinely repenting of my continued resistance to God, I prayed. 5. That final act of submission and surrender when I told God I wouldn't demand a revelation from Him I wouldn't make my continued seeking dependant on Him giving me what I want. I think that's why it happened when it did.

Thank you for this comment. This helps more than you can imagine. Thank you.

@@Nox-mb7iu I’m so very happy to help my friend :) reject fear and chose peace. God will take care of you. Meditate on scriptures about faith as well that really helps as well as fasting and praying ❤️

@@maggiesamson7480 I’m so very happy to help my friend :) reject fear and chose peace. God will take care of you. Meditate on scriptures about faith as well that really helps as well as fasting and praying ❤️

I’ve been doubting Jesus big time, and it hit me harder today. When I say doubting Jesus, I mean doubting the fact that he’s the Son of God, he walked this earth, he died for me, and rose again. I thought I was doing well in my walk with God, but I have to accept this before I can do anything. I’ve been trying, but doubt keeps coming back and I don’t know what to do. I shudder at the fact of not believing, because I don’t want to go to hell. I know for a fact that Jesus is real, but for some reason, my mind is having an extremely hard time accepting God’s free gift. It really terrifies me. I’m trying to keep the Faith, and just Faith in general. There’s so many things I must improve on to be a better Christian, a better believer. I pray that the Lord will work things out for me, although I believe he will. Please help pray for me! God bless ❤

@@KristinsTunes reject the fear. Don’t be afraid, just keep seeking Him by praying, fasting (if healthy for you), and reading the Bible. Pray everyday to God and ask for bigger faith, Jesus encourages us to keep praying for what we need read luke 11:5-10 this parable talks about being persistent in prayer. “So I say to you, ask, and it shall be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives and he who seeks finds and to him who knocks it will be opened”-Jesus Christ. So please keep knocking! As you walk with God more and more you will start to grown in faith. And please write down scriptures about faith and meditate on them day and night. Let’s fight the good fight. Understand that your human feelings are NOT truth. God’s word is truth! So when doubts come rebuke them and replace them with a scripture that speaks truth. Start putting in the full armor of God. Wear the shield of faith and walk in wisdom that you’re given through God’s word. If you accepted Jesus into your life, then don’t worry, God’s not mad at you but He wants you to trust in him more. Just walk by what Jesus has taught and what the Bible has said and keep talking to Jesus. Also look up Christian chats on google for support if you need it! You can talk to a Christian counselor for free! Meditate on the gospel and ask for help from the Holy Spirit! You are precious in the sight of God! ❤️ reject what Goes against God! “Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (proverbs 3:5-6) God can do things beyond our wildest imaginations!

Hudson Flores me too I’ll just pray 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Jacqueline Elsberry I feel the same way. How do you feel now?

Brenda Collin how do you feel k ow

Fox Lif me? I’m feeling better but it isn’t over yet. We must know that faith is not about feelings. It’s not like “If I don’t feel that I believe in Him, then I don’t” it’s something in our minds, and we choose what we want to believe in, not our minds nor our feelings. WE. Not our minds, I mean, sometimes I get thoughts telling me that I don’t believe but they are just thoughts and my thoughts don’t choose what I believe and what I don’t. That’s what I’ve learned.

Brenda Collin Very true, I wrote that comment five months ago and now now and this time I realize that I was on the track to believing. It’s just an accepted thing, you know? You are going to get thoughts from time to time questioning your faith. That’s just life, that’s always going to happen. That doesn’t mean you don’t believe, It’s just starting thoughts. When it becomes a problem though is when you start to believe those thoughts And that is what will take you farther away from God and from where you want to be. Repent and pray and you will be fine, spread the word of God

We can't rest, because we have no choice but to constantly struggle to keep our miserably crumbling lives barely held together so we do not, quite literally, die of starvation, disease, or exposure. For your scenario to work, God would actually have to be of any use whatsoever in our time of need. Since He refuses to, we have no choice.

HELLLO

@@marcushoward6560 I don’t think that’s what he means by rest.

​@@marcushoward6560Resting in God means choosing to trust in Him and believe that He has got everything under control. Resting in God means choosing not to worry about whether your faith is "good enough" to feel saved. It's just about believing in Him. All you can do is pray, read, attend Church, and trust in God.

I guess this is what i must do. Because my head just leads me to self centredness and despondency.

You’re not alone and I’ll pray for you. I’m 17 and I struggle as well.

Talk to Jesus. Instead of telling others how you are feeling, tell Jesus exactly how you are feeling. Talk to Him like you are talking to a friend. You probably are trying too hard. Just relax yourself. Tell Him exactly how you are feeling , and ask Him to show you the way. You are not too young to go to heaven or hell. You are not in His wrath. Take it one day at a time. He promised never to leave you nor forsake you. He is your refuge and strength a very present help in times of trouble. You can call on Him any and every time time because He is never too busy to listen to you. His love for you is endless and mind blowing. Do you attend Church? I will be praying for you. Listen to this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8ijmaqIq82zhJ8.html

I'm also 17 and I struggle with this too. A couple versus that have helped me are this, "...You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10 and "Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away." John 6:37

You're not alone regardless of what you're Going through God is there. Open your heart and cry out to Him He'll hear and also read your Bible He's in there go back to the new Testament read the 4 gospels and ask for understanding always know that Jesus died for you so that He could bring you home. May God be with you.

@@angelinaoliver5587 thank you!

God made us to live in harmony with Him. If you confess to Jesus Christ that he is your Lord and Savior and if you accept Him in your heart that he died for you on the Cross and rose after 3 days you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Then you're ready to get to know God more and more through prayer and reading the Bible. Everything you ask for will be given to you (Matthew 7:7)

I have sever panic too which corresponds with my ocd. My life has spiraled out of control in 2021 and the thought of suicide is always on my mind. It makes just want to be a kid again. I knows it’s painful. I will pray for you. I don’t think I’m saved and I’m not even sure god is real. My mind feels like a mess but I will pray for you.

i've felt the same way. But you have to choose not to give up.

@@Ian-xd2in you’re loved ♥️ when things get difficult may the Lord, Jesus of Nazareth, Yahweh be with you and show you ways and healing like you never before.

It's difficult for me as well with everything you mentioned and with the logical arguments against the existence of God/ religions overall. I'm pretty upset about it and don't know If I can undue my doubts this time.

Thank you

J Pep thanks, this is wonderful

Thank you for this. Needed this so much

Amen yes this is true... That's a valid promise and the very word of God and God cannot lie.

Indeed, as bible says, no one seeks after true triune God through his/her own will... The genuine desire to seek indicates one's genuine regeneration. However, beware of the teaching that teaches that some physical miracle must happen to prove faith and salvation.

Thank you. This is what I needed. Thank you for your kind words.

GOD LOVES YOU DEARLY AND DESIRES YOU TO BELIEVE HIS GOSPEL. I TELL YOU READ THE MESSAGE I TYPED UNDER Ningreingam Kamei who has a similar problem. His Comment is right under yours. I Know it will not only help but give you assurance. IF YOU CAN NOT FIND IT JUST TELL ME AND I WILL PASTE IT HERE. GRACE AND PEACE TO YOU.

I feel exactly like this bro

It must be sad to lose that really peaceful veil of ignorance that believers have. Sorry bro. But look beyond this. Even if you can't have faith, you can still do your best to live a moral life. Try watching the genetically modified skeptic. In my opinion he is very respectful and open about his deconversion. Just realize you are not alone.

That's your problem right their you don't believe because you don't see him, the mystery of faith a forever debate. Blessed is he who believeth and cannot see. Johnny pools it comes down to love , sometimes I feel exactly like you unworthy and unloveable, at least your on the right track. Jesus is LOVE LOVE LOVE, try to imagine where he comes from and where we come from , i hope that helps you because he does love you so much , too much for words to express.❤

jonnypools Philippians 2:12-13, Paul writes, “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed - not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence - continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his purpose

That is how I feel

What made you doubt?

"Reject the devil, and he will flee from you" Bless you.

@ツPaula don't focus on the unbelief! He'll come to you just have faith. Read a book about the Holy Spirit and get spirit filled. Jesus will come to you. He loves you more than you know. It's not intellect, it's faith. Just keep praying and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you!

@@clareakemi1329 thank you so much sister . your right.

How are you now?? Is everything fine now??

What does elitism mean?

Your words have power! Just try to say you believe in God/Jesus !

@Silvio Manuel What about the rest of us? We can't be saved?

but then, isn't god deciding? If God does not want you to go to hell then he will always choose you to go to hell, so if anyone goes to hell, it means he failed to save them. Then he is not omnipotent.

@Silvio Manuel You Jehovah's witnesses burn in hell forever and ever.

You Jehovah's witness burn in hell forever and ever. And you burn in hell forever and ever. Because you did not love the God Christ Jesus first today forever.

Did anything change?

Hi! Ive read your thoughts and my 1st thought was to keep fingers crossed do we both have those unbelief far behind ourselves. For Hebrews, faith=trust. So the question is 'what burden from your heart would you entrust'. Let's get acquainted with Jesus, regardless of this unbelief, let He takes those barriers, not we, so we could feel that 'Jesus saves'. Be blessed in God's name Yahwe

HELLLO

HELLO

same God Bless you and loves you!

Paul Watson me too

Jesus is coming soon. We need Faith.

Jesus is the hide and seek champion of the world and always will be!!!

Hi, I hope you answer this question. How do you feel right now? Are you still struggling with this?

Brenda Collin I’m not the guy that created the comment your responded too but I’m in a place in my life where the lord has bless me at least that’s what I think giving that everything is going good for me or it could be that I have the spirit of delusion that has swelled upon me just recently I watched a video that troubles me and in it the guy said (don’t quote me exactly because I do not remember the exacts words he said and use but it went something like this) if you are living in sin and nothing bad has happened to you it’s because you are not of your Heavenly Father, those that are his children he chastens then if they turn to sin until they get back on the right path he does not chastens those who are not his and let’s them live in their darkness now that’s what troubles me because I do sin even till this day and it’s knowingly sin but nothing bad happens everything is still going good for me so I am very troubled because I could die at any moment and not be saved

Jesus give me faith. God give me faith.

✡️

We really fall short of the Glory of God and ONLY he can save us. I was active duty Air Force for 21 years and saw alot of 'stuff' around this world, human beings are so cruel. Be advised, let go and let the Lord Christ be your light. Let's be ready to go, please ask Jesus to envelope you and make you His, just ask him for forgiveness of all your sins and allow him into your heart, God wants you, he is stretching his hands to hold you. Jesus would tell me in dreams to give all to him. I'm stuck at times and the Holy Spirit guides me but I don't always follow and feel like garbage. I'm constantly bombarded by demons, my wife has seen and yelled at them to leave me alone. I have old habits, hard to kill those habits and I would gladly die, to live for My Lord and Savior.

The God Christ Jesus has shown himself to people before. But idiots choose to burn in hell forever and ever. The God Christ Jesus has shown people visions of hell. And they saw demons tormenting people in hell forever and ever in hell. Because they didn’t love the God Christ Jesus first today forever. They burn in hell forever and get tormented by demons in hell forever. Go into many cursed and haunted houses and cuss and cuss out the immortal demons in there. And the immortal demons in there will beat you up. Then you will know that the God Christ Jesus hates demons. Go buy a ouija board and put the ouija board on your living room table for the immortal demon to see that. And for the immortal demon to haunt your house. The God Christ Jesus does not forgive making any deal with a immortal demon. The God Christ Jesus already explained this. All sorcerers with magic from demons all have their part in burning in hell forever and ever. The God Christ Jesus already answered the only way to heaven is to love the God Christ Jesus with all you're heart, body, mind and soul. That is the first commandment from the God Christ Jesus. That means love the God Christ Jesus first today forever. Or the God Christ Jesus throws you into hell to burn forever and ever. With the demons to torment you in hell forever and ever. There is only one God Christ Jesus and there are no gods beside him. Even the demons want to go to heaven. But you hate heaven. You want to burn in hell forever and ever. And you want to be tormented by demons in hell forever and ever. You burn in hell forever and ever. Because you did not love the God Christ Jesus first today forever.

@@godchristmadethebigbangand4882 you sound condemning, stop this

I'm there right now. About 4 months ago I cam to the conclusion that I was lost and have been aking for savig faith. In. thebegining, I sturggled with believiign in the resurection so i akse dfor faith and God anskwered. I struggled with repenting of a sin that has been an addiction for me for almost half my life and God freed m fromt ahta ddictiomn. he made me aware of something in my life that was an idol and He change dmy heart so that I don't desire it anymore. To each of these request He answered but when I ask for savign faith, when I ask for Jesus to save me: nothing. It's gotten to the point where yesterday I actually told God I hate Him because he's only brought me halfway. I apologised afterwards and honestly I still feel bad about it today. I don't want to be angry or hate God. I just want to be saved. What's the point of God doing lal this work in me if I'm just going to go to hell?

@@estherm.4351 I exactly understand what you went through God changed me too he made me know about him a lot. I asked him to get me a church fit for me and I found the nicest church ever. I asked to love the bible he made me love it indeed. I asked other things and those I got. All except faith in Christ 😅. That was until a few months ago I went through depression for the 1st time in my life and I was going through hell I was terrified of everything and so weak to even be mad at God when I couldn't go on I let myself fall I just leapt in belief I don't even know how I did it tbh but the extreme suffering was what did it for me and I have never felt that terrifying crippling feeling since that moment. Although I feel fear and mild depression from time to time as I have asked him to use this disgusting trial to make my faith stronger. All I'm saying is if I can believe believe me anyone can ❤

You are full of too much doubt and has allowed it to take over your entire being. It has clouded your entire thoughts so when you are praying you are doubtful before you even begin. This is the plan of satan. You say you feel like you are just talking to yourself when you pray, you are not. that's what satan want you to believe. Godhas heard your prayers and he will answer them.

@Mel Bornn Hi Mel. Although I'm just a stranger on the Internet, please believe me when I say I do really care for you. So it may be longer than avg YT comments but please read all of the following. Thanks. First, just a quick note. Its still such *Amazing* Grace even if it does only save a "few" considering anyone who sins deserves eternal hell. BTW, we weren't all born to go to hell. Rather, We were all born going to hell. That's a big difference. Think: will you be content in hell after freely choosing to reject the Gospel(that God has offered eternal life to man only through/ in His Son, Jesus Christ) even though you didn't need to?? No you won't be. Anyway, I sort of understand what you're saying by "glad you won the lottery"(sarcastically?? because you claim to not believe) but here's the thing. If you were indeed pointing to it, I agree there's certainly a tension in Bible between God's Sovereignty and man's responsibility in Repentance. God does choose us while we are dead in our trespasses YET He tells everyone everywhere to believe; and that we have a choice in this matter... I truly believe that this is a mystery that won't be revealed on this side of heaven. A similar tension existed between God's Holy Hatred for sinners and His Holy Love for man which was shown by *Jesus Christ's death on the cross for the sin of the world and Resurrection*. - Don't put your faith in hyper/Calvinism or arminianism. *Put your faith in the LORD Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son of God. John 14v6 - He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man can come to the Father but by Jesus.* He is commanding you to Repent and Believe. He has already invited you specifically Mel - 1 John 2v2. The choice is up to you my friend. *Again, will you be content in hell knowing God offered you eternal life as a free gift and you chose to reject it with your own free will even though you didnt need to?* May God bless you Mel and open your eyes in Jesus' Holy Name. Amen.

Don't overthink it or try to prove it or ask for signs. Simply believe and begin to trust God and pray every time you have doubt. Talk to God like you would a loving Father.

@@blueskiesandgreenpasturesp3848 Thank you, I have just recently started talking to God & I honestly do feel peaceful within myself afterwards. I was actually quite surprised the very first time I let him know that I was ready to accept him into my heart, as it lifted my spirits. 💯💖

Philippians 1:6: "6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"

im a teenager going through this thank you so much

Cat Galaxy I know almost exactly what you mean, your words show me that you’re daily striving to build a relationship with God. If you do that, you’ll be just fine :)) there’s a certain level of discernment when you Pursue the truth on a daily basis :) I know it’s hard to understand, but all you can do is grow your faith in what you know. Read your bible and just trust God with what everything even if u feel as if you don’t know him :)

Cat Galaxy The lord answers prayers in his time, not our time. Do you go to church ?

Cat Galaxy You need to find a very good Church home, it needs to be around other believers :) hopefully you’ve found one but if you have to keep searching keep doing that because u need to be around other believers. :l

*:)

It's a relief to have the burden of producing faith lifted off my shoulders. Faith is grace.

how its going?

Same

Think of it this way, if you didn’t Believe in God why do you try to believe in him when you already do, you obviously know he is real other wise you would not be seeking him, but God is allowing satan to cloud your mind so that you will continue to fight and to rely on God and to make your faith stronger. Me personally, I think you do believe in God because if you truly didn’t believe you would have dropped everything and gave up a long time ago Thats for you and the other gentlemen that commented that’s he’s in the same place

Alex Medina, Your a Warrior just like me, and all of our brothers and sisters, we fight, and we fight till our time has come to go see our father, keep on fighting and if you have any questions comment on here by my name and ask and I’ll help the best I can😊, God bless you and always be with YOU.

Whispers Of-God I will try to keep holding on. I prayed that someone would respond to this, maybe God hasn’t left me after all.

Thank you

Hi:) There are many times when it is hard to have a true passion and faith in God. I remember I felt like I was forcing myself to believe in Him and questioned if this is how it feels to believe in God. If it is I told myself, "I didn't want it." After I told myself this, so many signs from people and my life told me to continue my journey with God. For months I had this confusion, but I continued to pray, read, fast, and talk, think about God throughout the day. I am so glad I continued my journey and made me realize the story of Job. Job suffered from the devils' trick, but still had faith in the Lord, please read Job 42. I hope you continue your journey with God and I'll pray for you, I know how hard it is to believe when we are staggering. My journey strengthened my faith in Jesus and taught me it wasn't for my works, but for the love of Jesus Christ. Not many people stick to God in hard times and I'm glad you are. I recommend you Vihan Damaris and Servants of Christ to youtube channels. Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7 🤗

Ayden praying for u... I completely relate with the struggle and desperation that I try to endure. Praying we continue to hold on and persevere when we’re going through the valleys. He is faithful. We can make it

@@Lulu-xk5ll hi

hi

--------------------- First of all, please know that if you're searching him, God has chosen you: Please search "how do we know wether or not we've been chosen" When you refuse to believe, you are not his sheep: John 10:26 "But you refuse to believe because you are not my sheep." But when you are searching for him, you already chosen: John 6:37 : Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away John 6:44: No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day John 6:65: So Jesus added, “Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come ----------------------------- What is it that makes you doubt?

Hi, so I’m really struggling with this and today I almost gave up (that felt horrible to even consider). I don’t really understand though. You wrote that it says “You refuse to believe because you are not my sheep”, but then you wrote that all who seeks Him is chosen. Do you mind explaining 😊?

I am just like the man in this letter. I seek to believe in Christianity vividly as I used to back when I was a kid. Why would God choose to not make me believe in him even if I truly want to?

Thalis Severo romans 10 17

@@thalissevero962 The fact that you are desiring to know Him and are seeking Him is Him working in you. ❤️

Exactly

@God's Whisper but in order for that to happen, we should have that genuine hunger for |Christ in us to begin with. Here most of people struggle with not having it, realizing/being aware of not having but wanting to have it. .

Same thing for me I knew it in my mind to be true I knew it was the gift but I couldn't find it in me to receive the gift by faith my heart didn't have the faith to receive Jesus

You think you deserve a reward for following him? He died for your sins show some respect

But honestly i have been struggling with faith too, i just simply believe religion has been outdated.

@@bourne8636 🙄😑 i never said i deserved a reward stop gaslighting me. So many so called Christians are so good at this. Don’t twist my words just because you can’t answer them. Pathetic

@@nadinegomez8858 i know it's just you said "yet nothing" which seems as if you were expecting something.

You need to pray with the right heart attitude. You need to ask God to give you the faith you need for your salvation. You need to want to serve Jesus Christ as your Lord as well as love Him as your Saviour. Maybe you are holding onto a favourite sin or something or someone in your life that God wants you to be prepared to let go of. If you ask God to give you the faith you need for your salvation and that you will follow wherever He wants to lead you and that you want Jesus Christ only on His terms, God will give you the gift of saving faith. Jesus promised that God never refuses the Holy Spirit to those who ask but your asking mus be in the right spirit. You might also have to acknowledge to God that there is nothing good that you can do of yourself that is acceptable to Him but that every good thing that you do and have ever done is only because of His grace and mercy restraining you from being totally wicked and depraved.

I've been a believer and an evangelist for 30 years. Despite constantly reading the bible and praying for my whole life and giving my all to God, I've never actually heard from God myself. Pastors would tell me what was God's will for me and they ended up being wrong completely. I ended up watching the Atheist Experience tv show and it's like a light went off in my head. Everything clicked. I started to notice that people who believed in Jesus believed for horrible reasons (faith, anonymous eye-witness testimony, feelings etc). I'm now an atheist and couldn't be happier. I make better decisions in life without faith through skepticism and never looked back. If Jesus really loved me, he would make every attempt to reveal himself to me in a way I can confirm he is real and divine. Not through a book or feelings but by testable evidence. An all-knowing, all-powerful God could easily reveal himself to everyone.

Don't just rest. Ask God to give you the faith you need for your salvation and tell Him why you want it.

is faith a reliable pathway to truth? Could I not say I believe Allah and the Quran based on faith? Why would you want faith over evidence?

Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resource to guide beginners?

I agree. Based on personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $1m in a well diversified portfolio, that has experienced exponential growth. It is not about having money to invest in stocks,but also you need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have strong hands to back it up.

How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. who is the driving force behind your success?.

How's your struggle going brother

@@milka1150 thanks for checking in. I think it’s improved. My mustard seed is growing little by little

@@aaronbuchholz2510 like yours truly it will happen brother! you'll look back and be amazed at the miracle of faith.

You’re already on the right track. You are humble enough to admit, you don’t have the understanding. If we are all honest, no one has ALL the understanding. Meanwhile there’s no shortage of ‘Christians’ so-called out there so full of pride who are deceived into thinking they are saved and set for Heaven yet have done literally the most vile, appalling, antichrist things you can imagine and have no remorse. My favorite bible passage. Luke 18:10-14 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Oh I wish I could like this more than once...

Do you still have the same feeling, and if so why?

4 years...that was how long I've waited....now, all I can say is God is Good truly and he doesn't turn away people who seek him ❤

@@milka1150 please tell me what happen

@@StevenSeagul783 First off I wanna start by trying to make u understand the difficult situation I was in. I was an Orthodox Christian cuz of my family and I'm from an eastern culture. Which means religion is a big part of our life although I can't say we were practising because practising means being and acting like Christ. (at least for me) So I wanted to have sth more than what the church was showing me I wanted more from God. Long story short as I was having this questions and longings to have more of God, a cousin came to stay with us for a couple of days and there was sth different about her she loved God she trusted him he was all she talked about. That annoyed me but I was jealous too. She was Protestant. Most of us who weren't Protestant disapproved of that I even thought they were Satanists. Again long story short I became Protestant (that is another story). But not Christian 👀. I didn't know I wasn't Christian at the time b/c I was so excited for this new faith I found. the love I felt God had for me and this love I felt for him. But then Jesus kept being preached and I realised I didn't really have a r/n shim with him just the father God. Then I asked God to show me Christ again and again and again for 4 torturous years. But nothing. I gave up searching and started waiting that God will show him to me when the time comes. This was a really difficult situation to be in b/c no one in my family except my mom knew I've left my family's faith and as soon as they did I knew questions,redicule and even persecution could come and I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE MY OWN FAITH. can u imagine that??? anyways as I was waiting for God I was doing sth really really dangerous I was leaning on and trusting encounters from God more than God himself. More on this later. soooo As I was waiting I went through Depression. I have never felt depressed or even met sm one who has.( I know its pretty common in the west but I haven't seen it here though I'm pretty sure it might be common here too) That was hell and I thought I was going to go crazy and become like the people I see on the streets or worse I might k** myself. This went on for few months somedays I can't even think clearly for longer than 5 seconds and I was getting to the end of myself. During this time those encounters I held on dearly and that helped me become hopeful were cast away. God stripped me of those things and I stood naked having only God to trust and rely on. and I was struggling with that. One day I read a testimony of a Guy who was just like me and he believed when God showed him that there's no turning back either he jumped from the cliff(leap of faith) and let Jesus catch him or Die. The next day I was sitting with my friends and I couldn't bear the overwhelming feelings of fear, hopelessness, panic anymore and I jumped not knowing if God was gonna catch me.😁 and just like that the feelings all of them became real quiet. I will continue if u want me to but lemme know if this helped u or not for now.

Similar story. Need prayer too

A hypocrite never questions his hypocrisy let alone believes he is one, but one who is fearful he is one is far from being a hypocrite. I think the asker is on to something. Many believe but even those who believe some will be denied. I think the one that ask Piper this question is more concerned if her faith is genuine or not.

I feel the same way..I really don't know what to believe anymore

How are u?
