Hi, I recently did a deep, spiritual prayer to God. I haven't ever read the bible clearly but I have read the whole bible before. I find that through watching sermons, learning about God is more than the basics, it gets advanced in a way that it's not even written in the bible. You have to go by the Holy Spirit. When I was 16/17 I was pushed into being baptized and so I thought I'd 'try', but I wasn't sure if Jesus Christ was real or not but when I was baptized, I recall that the person asked, 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ.. ' or something like that and I said 'Yes' so I don't know if my baptism was valid and that I received the Holy Spirit but sometimes I feel things and think that the Holy Spirit is telling me something but I'm not sure if it's just me. I've been really sad bc after my prayer I tried to listen to see if I can get anything from the Holy Spirit. First off, I have a sort of social anxiety and I've got no friends in real life for 2-4 years and I've never had a real friend but I really wanted to be friends with someone where I've been volunteering which is that only place I can volunteer bc it's for people who have Mental Health issues, but I feel right now that the Holy Spirit is saying not to be friends with him or that I can't be friends with him and I'm thinking it's probably bc he has a wife and so forth. I also feel that the Holy Spirit is saying that even if he talks to me I'm not to say anything! but I don't think that is biblical. Do I go by what "I feel" the 'Holy Spirit' is telling me or whether it's 'biblical'? And it discourages me that I feel so confused and how to get out of being confused and being clear on things. I want to be SO CLEAR on things about God and also immediately happy and uplifted when I walk in that way if that is even possible. I also don't have the motivation to read the bible right now bc of medication I'm taking. Also if I can't be friends with the only person there that I feel like being friends with, not just an acquaintance then I really feel I cannot volunteer there anymore even though there are people I care for there too. Then I guess I'd be more bored so I think am I being punished and do I deserve to be punished so badly when I reflect on things. I'm hurt, sad, depressed, not feeling well emotionally. I'm stuck. I really need prayer that works. I really want to be so happy and excited. Thank you so tremendously.

Hey, I know what you're going through and I got some advice. I grew up in a Christian home never really knowing God, my parents would take me to church but I never paid attention and just slept or figured out ways to pass time. When I was around 16 I was also forced to be baptised, still not knowing 100% if God exists or what it even meant to be baptised. I knew nothing about God at the time other than the fact he died for me and loves me.

I used to be really depressed from the time I left middle school all the way to universtiy, I was unable to make friends and had social anxitey. I used to eat my food alone praying that somebody would talk to me but nothing happened for 4 years, I suffered quite a bit but never let anyone know. The one person I shared things in common with at school was addicated to inappropriate content so I couldn't be friends with him. inappropriate content was something I struggled with alot at the time and knew the friendship can't continue.

But when someone told me about the true gospel of Jesus Christ, led me in the prayer of salvation and I received the Holy Spirit, my life started changing. You see, Jesus has done so much for you that you don't know about, you don't have to be going through all those things. If you want to hear the voice of God clearly/discern it, then you'll have to study his word. (I have resources that make studying Gods word easy if you would like me to send it to you).

It's not possible to recieve the Holy Spirit without being born again. There are different kinds of baptisms, the first baptism is the one of the holy ghost, so you say the prayer of salvation and become born again. After this you can ask for the Holy Spirit to dwell in you. The second baptism is with water, which is a public declaration that you're born again, symbolising the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Once he comes into your life he'll guide you in all things and you will never be alone. I'm praying for you! And I'll support you if you need

Thank you so much for your prayer! Do you feel that God answers your prayers? I'd be very glad to receive the prayer of salvation. Is it the one in your signature?
And do you think I need to be baptized again given the info that I told you above? I don't want to be lonely in the way that I am. I want to be really happy and excited w/ the friend that I make or I probably need a boyfriend. I don't know. I would like God to make things really clear to me and leading me and guiding me in the way in which I should go and me being very happy about it. I've been feeling like torture.
I'd be looking forward to as many helpful replies as possible. Thank you so tremendously!

God answers prayer You might want to read 'Why Keep Praying?" By Robert Morris. Charles Stanley teachings are Biblically based as well. After your salvation prayer, personally think getting baptized when you are aware of what you're doing would be a great idea. Recommend you get some -if not all - of these issues resolved before getting into a relationship with a boyfriend. Following a reading plan to cover the Bible in a year or two? What's some of your favorite Scriptures?
- in His presence is fullness of joy PSA 16
- The spirit of God made you, and the breath of the Almighty gives you life. Job 33:4
- The Lord says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jer 29:11

God is great, majestic, gracious, full of compassion, good to me, +++++ Psa 145

I don't feel that he answers my prayers, I know he does because the word says so and I'm also aware of what Jesus did :D And yeah it's the one in my signature

Jeremiah 33:3
Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

God always answers you, but whether you get it or not is up to you. If you don't know his word you'll start hearing thoughts from your own mind or other things. This is why we're told to renew our minds with the word of God (So studying and meditating on the word) (Romans 12:2).

Just look at the way Jesus prays in John 11:41. He says "Father, I thank you that you have heard me."
There are two things I want you to see from this scripture.

1) Jesus calls God his Father
2) His faith

Jesus prayed differently from people before him, only someone righteouss could pray a prayer like that. And Jesus has made it available for us to pray to God like that too, because when you're born again you're righteouss. This is why we pray to the Father in the name of Jesus, as Jesus is the mediator between God and Man.

Psalm 119:105-106
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Nope you don't have to be rebaptised as you've done it already.

Thank you everyone! I need as much help as required. I'm in a very dark place, dark enough. I feel tortured. Do you think that God would direct me through the 'Holy Spirit' to not respond to someone even if they spoke to me as I wrote above in first post? I now feel like I can't talk to the person in the way I would talk and I'm to be like a little mouse or robot and if I can't be friends with this person I would leave the volunteering and I could try to go back to school and take courses but I won't be in a place full of people like me and I won't get to be friends with this person. It seems so sad. I feel sad. Does anyone have any more things to say about my first post? Thank you so much!

Asphose, how do you 'know' God answers your prayers? Thank you
Another issue I've expressed in my first post is that I'd like to not only know for sure that God is directing/telling me something/things if/when he is but immediately feel happy when I walk in God's direction and even knowing the reason for God's direction.

I also would like prayer to be delivered from evil spirits who would give me false, deceitful lies, that God would help me in ways that's best for my situation like through angels, through a spiritual Christian, on this forum, etc. Thank you so much!

I also feel sad for the outcome I've come to that I would be leaving the volunteering bc of this and wouldn't be able to go and enjoy the Christmas event there and would have to go to a less enjoyable place. :( I really wished or wish this wouldn't be the outcome but it really looks like it is.

1 John 5:15 - "And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."

I know he answers my prayers because the scriptures say so, my assurance is the word of God. First, have faith that he's heard you and you'll receive.

If you want clarity on where Gods wants you to go in life and how to hear him more clearly, you'll have to study his word.

Psalm 119:105-106
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

His word brings clarity to your path.

Any more comments on this anyone? I've talked to someone about this and it has helped me but just seeking more advice as it says it's wise to do so in proverbs from spiritual Christians of course. Lastly, I don't think it's the Holy Spirit telling me not to talk to this person I really want to be friends with even if he were to say something to me.
