Advice for me

Lik3 · Dec 24, 2018

I have no idea how to witness to others, much less those who live with me. My mistakes and my faults have been pointed out to me. I have never forgotten about it. Deep down, it doesn't hurt, but it still stings. It has been in the back of my mind. I don't know how to overcome those words and I don't know how to stand up for myself and my beliefs. I realize that I have a long way to go in my faith and I have all been called was a false Christian. I do lie, I am afraid of remaining a liar who is an inadequqate liar who cares what other people think. I have screwed up too many times. I have no idea how to overcome it. What advice do you or would you have for me?

Get an English Bible, like RSV, that you can read,
and read,
and read,
and read,
and read,
and read, read, read, read,,,,,, as if it was a letter from your father overseas.... re-read the Bible, and keep reading ,
even devour it ......... more than anything else as God Permits....

The Truth is what sets you free. At all cost, (honorably, honestly) , get the Truth.

Jesus died so we could know.

(honestly, I think you won't have to wonder what to say to others.
Ask the Father always for His Grace and Wisdom and Justice and Strength,
as you read His Word,
and as HIS WORD FILLS YOU , you will simply speak out of your heart, 'naturally' from what FILLS YOU, and others will see this and they will know you have been with God. (as written in His Word).

Hello friend, I am applauding you for reaching out and admitting your mistakes. I do believe this is the Holy Spirit beginning his transitional work in your heart.
As stated above "although I like KJV personally" 2 Timothy 2:15 study to shew thyself approved.
engross yourself in the Word and and let the Spirit grow you into more righteousness and then you will be a lighthouse to those around you friend :]

You can be a witness to others by first working out your own salvation with fear and trembling: Philippians 2:12-18 & 1 Peter 1:3-8
But do keep in mind that we also live in a wicked generation and we will still be ridiculed for our faith in Christ, but God uses this to "test" us (imagine a warrior training in the battlegrounds, in the same way, that is how God strengthens us):
1 Peter 4:12-19

I pray this encourages you to keep pressing forward (focus on Christ)!

It is so good when our faults and our mistakes are pointed out to us. I know how it goes. At first you feel uncomfortable. Then shameful. But if you get past these feelings/spirits you move on to something good that you've never experienced in your whole life..forgiveness. It's a rough road to get there and I'm still on mine. I'm looking forward to the day where everyone's faults are exposed because that's when we will really have it good.
The Lord is Good! I agree... reading the Bible is so very good for us and you hardly every get to the point where it's too much bible reading.

"A wise man loves criticism" Proverbs repeatedly.

As /like/ King David said "Let that man be, (across the river yelling or cursing David)
when his right hand soldier wanted to go kill him....
"Maybe Yahweh sent him and I need him....." (in Yahweh's Purpose) ....

We all may be corrected, chastised , rebuked, disciplined, even by a seeming , 'secular'? , unexpected source as Yahweh permits ...
