    why do christians teach you must feed your born again spirit?

    There is a time in your spiritual growth when you feel a hunger for spiritual food. I remember when I would feel this way almost like when your flesh is hungry for food. So I would feed myself with God's word, prayer and contemplating on God. After the transformation from the carnal to the...

    How best to serve God?

    I myself keep an eye on the events that are happening in the world and compare them to prophecy. I don't get deeply involved into politics, but we need to keep an eye on what's going on. Politicians do have the opportunity to change other people's lives. They have a choice to make just like...

    am i the only one?

    In order for us not to get to relaxed, we go through periods of High's and Low's. In order for a high period to happen, we must go through a low period. Some of these low periods can be so bad that there are no words to describe the suffering. If you keep your faith strong and wait these low...

    Hearing from God

    God relates to us through the Holy Spirit. He also shows His presence in ways that we have to be observant about. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit don't talk to us like people talk to each other. The way they communicate to us directly is called "a knowing". Once you start to get fimiliar with...

    shame based mentality

    I would like to direct to an article about equanimity: itrustgodonly.com/equanimity.htm - It's about pride and being on an even plane. Pride has high's and low's, we need to be in the center where humility lies. It takes a lot of work to achieve this place of evenness, but it's a beautiful and...

    Free will: may be wrong forum for this post.

    I know just how you feel. I can't stand the way things are either. The world is totally unbalanced in accordance to the laws of God. Everything has it's time and place that is preset by God. God is being very patient with mankind. He is giving everyone the opportunity to Choose Him or the world...

    Are there any scriptures where God can take away a Christian's Salvation?

    If you have honestly and sincerely accepted Jesus in your heart, He always be there for you. If you fall away, chances are you will be back after you have figured out that you can't go it alone. Usually after you've beaten yourself up pretty good. When it comes to the Holy Spirit, yes you can...

    I can't forgive myself

    James 5:16, ' So confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, and this will cure you.' Find someone spiritual and confess your sins to them, talk about it and then pray together. You will then know that you are forgiven. You will be humbled. Many people don't understand the deep...

    Question about the Bible

    What you are doing is a classic case of what happens when people don't seek the truth through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the way, the truth and life. Man has been teaching man for years and sadly enough, man listens to man or man disagrees with man to the point of murder or war over one believing...

    Wife cheated and left. why am i punished?

    Whatever people do to you, you can't seek revenge or even have bad thoughts about them. You will destroy your soul and everything you worked for in your walk with the Lord. God said, 'vengence is mine.' I have had a lot of people do me wrong and in my old days I would've put them into a coma...

    looking for some thoughts

    Seems to me you learned a valuable lesson. We are not perfect and we all do stupid things at times that we feel remorseful for. This is how we learn, gain strength and mature into spiritual adults. You were a man about it and made amends to the other boyfriend. Confession and making amends are...

    Making hard choices.

    Pray about it and ask the Lord to give some kind of indication which would be the best door to go through. When we choose God and give our life over to Him, we become helpers for God. We have to always see value in where we go and what we do. Because it effects everyone we come in contact with...

    Marriage in the Lord

    Paul writes that if one spouse is spiritual the other will become spiritual as well. Keep supporting her and don't try to force anything on her. If you are sidelined by her, then both of you will fall. You are going to have to keep up the strength so you can stay right with the Lord. I'm...

    I put up with similar abuse for years, it was all coming from a person that the demons had access to. I know this because it was someone very close to me. Any way not only were the demons tormenting this person, they were trying to get me to blow my spirituallity. The last 1 and 1/2 years of...

    Is it wrong for a Christian guy to have pictures of sexy women on his laptop?

    If you have to question this issue than obviously you are feeling uncomfortable about these images. Drop the images and focus on something that will make you think of God like an image of sunsets or country. If something is in your heart that is not supposed to be there, than it has to go. God...

    If I love God/Christ, why do I knowingly give into temptation so often?

    It seems that the hardest one to overcome out of them all is lust. I don't know where you are in your walk with the Lord, but I can suggest a couple of articles for you to read at this site: itrustgodonly.com. One is about confession and another is a 12 lesson journey that helps you to get to...
