So God gave you everything, Himself and all of who He is and eternal life
on top of it all and you turn away from Him when you don't get what
your want?
Jesus never taught that we would live forever in perfect health in this life.
So you would throw away God's love and offer of eternal life because
this world is imperfect, fallen, full of sorry, sickness and disease?
Are you hearing what you are saying?
Listen, we all are going to die so wouldn't it be better to cling
to God almighty who promises you a perfect life with Him or
would you rather complain and blame God and talk youself
out of the real life to come?
You atleast have a place of shelter and food to eat, some do not have
even this as they are so poor they have no place of shelter or food to eat.
This world is corrupt and fallen so don't blame God.
Jesus said that we are to pray that God's will would be done on the earth
as it is in heaven because God's perfect will isn't done on the earth.
Faith moves God, not accusation so you are defeating yourself on two
fronts when you pull away from God and blame Him for all that is wrong.
It is your choice...turn away from evil unbelief or let it rob
you of all of God's blessing now and in the future...
Forgive me, but I am tired of people with that Holier than thou attitude.
You don't know it all. I have gone without anything to eat because I had no money to buy food. I've been sick without medicine.
My health..Pal Handy, what is the sickest you've been? What's the worst pain you have gone through? Are you in a position to judge me? Do you recall having the flu? If you can, imagine it 10 times worst and never going away. Think of laying on your back so weak you could not get up and your entire body hurt (like the flu). Imagine feeling like this for years.
I know that it was the devil who made me sick, but I don't know why God hasn't made me well. I KNOW I did not commit a sin that made me sick. After years of trying to get well - by the way (I've been sick for 20 yrs.), a few yrs ago, I got even sicker. This time the pain was intensified so that I could not sleep even taking Ambien. I was too weak to get out of bed, but in too much pain to sleep. This is why I was angry at God, it was just more than I could bare. I'm on Gabapentin and Tramadol for the pain. I have 2 muscle relaxant and Ambien just to help me sleep. Even so, the meds only help ease the symptoms, not get rid of them all together.
As for the roof over my head. I've had a dream since I was a child. We moved all the time when I was growing up. I wanted a place in the country so very much, a place I would not have to move away from, one that was my own - really my own, until God took me. I also wanted a Christian husband, another dream - my mother had so many men in her life when I was a kid, I wanted 1 person, a sincere Christian man who truly loved God.
Well, I tried for both the home and the man with a good level headed approach. I was saving all my money for a home and tried to meet men that were Christians(I was terribly lonely then). Well, the illness took my money and being ill, I couldn't get out of bed, how was I suppose to look for a Christian husband.
I've had many roofs over my head - too many! My heart still hurts for a place set of in a quiet country setting, one that is mine to fix up as I please. Now, after the years of illness and for so long putting up with a ridiculing mother, I lost the desire to marry - I prefer my freedom.
I have a social disorder on top of it and couple with health problems - I don't have any friends.
I'm not trying to get pity at all, just understanding.
I just never understood why God didn't heal me.
Also, tithe wasn't about trying to buy anything from God, it was about putting God first with all that I had. I gave to other from what little I had because I though God wanted us to help each other!
How can I testify of God to anybody when they will look at me and think "If that is what being a Christian gets you, I don't want it."
Now, if you understand that I wasn't a selfish sinner all those years. This is the whole thing. Other Christians who feel they can preach at me have all these things I have long for and take them for granted.
I'm trying to move to Texas with a relative because the winters are milder than Missouri. I would take a shack or camper trailer on the desert if I had the chance. If it were mine and set off on land that was my own (even sand and clay).
As for the name it and claim it. I always thought people claim it then worked at getting it - IF it was in God's Will an line up with his Word. Them God would open a door for me.
I'm wagering that you are sitting at your computer surrounded by a lifestyle you take for granted - things that I could only dream of having. So don't try to judge me.
