going insane

[Eishiba]

I am literally going insane. I am so spiritually confused its not funny. I believe there is a God but things just confuse me to death. I'm struggling to believe what it actually REAL. Is heaven and hell real? Or did a bunch of nomads decide to write the Bible? How do I know I have everything right? What if you have something wrong and its never revealed and you go to hell because of it. The ones who flew the planes into the twin towers believed they were doing God a favor. Either, yes, God sent them to heaven because they believed what they were doing was an act of God, even if it was murder. Or no, because they don't believe whats right. Which also can mean that anyone else who believes something may be wrong. Even if its not as obvious as murder. Any one of us could be wrong and end up in hell, if thats the case. I found myself crying out to God, literally. I have never balled asking God to reveal himself to me over this matter. I really am hoping that some how, some way, he shows me something or sends me some kind of message. I am asking to know the truth. The sad thing is, I am sure the billions pray the same thing and get a different version of the truth as someone else. If we were to all pray for the REAL truth to be revealed to us, why wouldn't we all get the same REAL truth revealed? Why do we all come up with different ideas? I'm so lost...I need prayer so bad...

There is only one truth.

Listen, the root of your confusion is that you are missing the heart of what Jesus told us --- what He came to tell YOU.

You cannot win His love. You cannot go to Heaven by good deeds. This is all you need to know or to do: believe in Christ. If you have faith, then you will be saved. No one on this Earth can take that gift from you. Dedicate your heart, soul and mind to His love and He will show you the way.

 

[Linus]

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Praying for clarity, guidance, wisdom and a personal relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord!

As bocannes wrote, good deeds will not get us to Heaven but by faith and grace alone. If it were for good deeds, who could be worthy of entering heaven considering the enormous blessings that God has bestowed upon us. Our acts couldn't pale anymore in comparison!

Praying for you. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. - Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

"If we were to all pray for the REAL truth to be revealed to us, why wouldn't we all get the same REAL truth revealed? Why do we all come up with different ideas?"

Do you really believe that everyone is the same? That they think the same? Act the same? And would believe the same? Do you think that everyone is sincere? Are you god that you know the motivations and sincerity within their heart? And how about *your* heart? Why do you still cling to this tumult, this drama, this chaos switch. Exactly what sense is there in switching a light on and off constantly, and hoping that somehow you still won't stumble?

I prayed for you. God will help you, but you have to let Him. It's all on you whether you choose to rest and trust in Him.

Friend we all have to come to the place your are at. You are seeking a good thing to know the truth. Simple said there is one truth, Jesus is the truth. Jesus is the end all truth. Everything in this world is leading us to know Jesus as Lord and savior. And he is the only begotten son of God.
Now those words all sound nice to you at this point. I understand i really do. I do not want you thinking i am blowing you off with nice words. So i am going to share a bit if i may as i feel it would help you.
I am not you average christian. Seen some stuff and been through some stuff. Let me share my testimony. Lives in sin most of my life. Was saved at the age of 6. God awoke me at the age of 35. I had a great life, lots of money, Good business and great wife and wonderful son. Then i started serving God. Was attacked like Job in the bible. Wife did the attacking, kidnapped our son. Divorce court was 6 years long. The worst divorce ever in this area, as informed by many. The judge ended up dieing a little more every time i went to court. Watched him die a long painful death due to cancer. I operate in faith and could have healed him. But he was being judged because of his conduct, I was his down fall. I was not in sin during my divorce God would not allow it. I am under grace of course. But there are times when God wants you to be in grace and walking with out any sin. Because i remained in Love God anointed me during that great period of wickedness. The anointing only comes due to love and obeying God.
So the end result was Faith was established in me. Now i am anointed an have a great reward. But the cost was considerable. I only tell you these things to tell you the path is not always easy. And trials come. People whom you love will attack you, hurt you and lie about you. We are Just like Jesus people hate us. But God is faithful. God is ever present. God Does not change. God is God. He allows things he does not cause them. And Jesus is the only way to God.
I have been attacked more then most, but i know God. I may fall but he will rise me up. I may become blinded but he will give me eyes to see. Jesus is my friend, my brother and my savior. He is my guide and he is my example. He is everything a person needs to be happy and to be holy. So friend do you want the truth. His Name is Jesus and he is love.

Praying for you


I would encourage you to start first by reading the bible and getting to know who God is, and who is Jesus Christ.

KING JAMES BIBLE ONLINE - KING JAMES VERSION (KJV) OF THE BIBLE


Jesus Christ is indeed real and one of the things that I have learnt is that no matter what is going on I can always speak to him. You can talk to Jesus Christ, asking him to reveal himself to you, telling him what is going on in your life, asking him for his help and guidance.

I would also encourage you to visit Joyce Meyer's website. She is a preacher and her articles and books have helped me a lot.

I went through this exact same thing. Jesus revealed Himself as LORD and God! Satan is messing with you.. Remember who was the one who saved you. The One who changed you. The One who loves perfectly, the only One who rose Himself from the grave. The Great I AM.

 

[topcat23]

So sorry to hear that your so confused and distraught over your faith in God. Seems like each reply basically hit on one or more things that we must do to be saved. Absolutely we don't earn it, it comes to us through God's mercy and grace by sending his son Jesus Christ into the world to ultimately die for our sins, so the only way to get saved and to heaven is through Jesus Christ, and to believe that he died for our sins on Calvery, and if you believe he rose 3 days later and now sits to the right hand side of his father God, and if you have asked him into your heart to be the master and saviour of your life, your are saved, plain and simple, you will never lose it, its not earned , its given freely by our Lord Jesus Christ, his gift to you, that you may live your life in peace and the assurance that you have a home in heaven, to me that is the most reasurring feeling in the world. I hope this helps and I pray that you will find your peace in Jesus.

Jason, Jesus wants you to know that he loves you. His heart goes out to you for being confused and lost. Jesus is God, and the path to him is very narrow. The closer to find yourself to him the more Lucifer will fight to pull to away. He will use whispers and lies to make you doubt your faith and relationship with the Lord. Thoughts you wouldn't normally think of and the feeling of hopelessness all comes from the prince of lies. There is without a doubt a heaven that God has created for all that is worthly and being a Just God there is also a hell. The KJV "HOLY BIBLE" has been around for over 400 years and many people died for that book. There have been many versions created after that which have been re-worded or take away the glory from God, some go as far as to hid the fact that Jesus is God. God would not allow thousands of people to die in vein if those words were not true. He also made sure that the true word would remain in this world for everyone to find. How do you know you have everything right? The asnwer to that is simple, build your faith and your personal relationshop with Jesus stronger everyday. Anything you ever question can be answered in the KJB, in relation to questions that truly matter for your savation. You need to continue to read and learn the bible, read and re-read the book. Make God a passion, and when you have that feeling or that thought in your head to just take a break for one day...DON'T the enemy is trying to pull you away! This isn't something that you are simply going to do or eventually get to....Living for Christ is the biggest thing you will ever do in you life and will determine what you will do after your short lifespan on earth. The reality is simple this is a WAR, Lucifer will try to take down as many people as he can with him. The enemy doesn't like the idea of you getting closer to GOD because it becomes harder to pull you away. God's enemies will do what ever it takes, without any mercy to destroy you and destroy your bond with God. If you give yourself to Christ you become a saint and child of God, Jason. You have to believe in him completely and not allow even yourself and your desires to stand in his way. Believe in what he did for you and believe in what he will do for you and you will never have to face not having something revealed to you. That thing we call our concsious, the thing that tells us right from wrong, from the time you could hold memories this felling has always been with you. You didn't learn this from school or your parents, this is the holy spirit. LISTEN and you will always go down the right path, you will know what information is right and what information is misleading or lies. If anything you hear about GOD isn't in the bible then its false. Those thoughts we call our conscious "You will get in trouble, that is a bad idea, You will regret that don't do it!" that is God looking out for you to keep you on the right path. This is his way of communicating with you without using words, or revealing himself personally because this would destroy your faith which would destroy your bond with him. This is your message Jason, talk to God, read the bible, build a relationship with him, have faith and trust in his abilities, accept and use the holy spirit to aid you, pray for aid and for the protection of his angels, Through Jesus is the only way to heaven, die to yourself and your earthly desires and live in service to him, Through all these things the truth will be revealed to you. Without putting on the full armor of God and without beleiving in his every word you will be exposed to the enemy. Most people take in what they want to hear or what best suits their life don't do this take everything God tells to for what he tells you. Don't ask God for help and not listen to his advice. That is where different version of the "truth" appears.

Jason I pray that as you build a stronger relationship with Christ that the truth and the way is revealed to you. I pray that the Lord Jesus will open you eyes and help you in the right direction. I ask that he sends angels to protect you from his enemies and under his authority I ask that he departs any demons that try to destroy your faith. Jesus please help Jason to open his heart to your love and give him the strength and knowledge to keep him from being pulled down in the mud by Lucifer and his followers. I pray that Jason will stand up for his King and fight for his place in the Kingdom of heaven. Jesus I ask that you send people into his life to help him find the truth that he seeks. Open his eyes so he can see through the lies. Jason I ask that as you grow closer to God you aid your brothers and sisters, the Christians who find themselves lost as you feel now. Lord Christ in your name we pray-Amen.

God's Holy Word is TRUTH

And will never be anything but TRUTH

God tells us in His Word that satan is the author of confusion

hey you cant believe that old book

hell isnt real
heaven isnt real
these christians are crazy to believe that
God wont tell you the truth
you cant believe a thing he says


what did the serpent tell eve in the garden of eden

when God told her and adam in the day ye shall eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil ye shall die(meaning a spiritual death)

so here comes that old devil and serpent satan

hey eat up
i cant God said we will die

what does that devil tell her

ye shall not surely die

he flat out called God's Word a lie and God a liar

and hey friend he hasnt stopped yet

but one day he will be stopped
for good

the Holy Bible is the Word of God

its His Word,w hat He has to say

and we need to get in it
believe it
obey it and press on for His glory

how do I know that Christianity is the truth

because we have the ONLY PRAYER HEARING AND PRAYER ANSWERING GOD

NO OTHER RELIGON CAN SAY THAT

NONE


time is short
life is short

God bless

Father, you are the Truth and you set people free. Everything belongs to you, Father. Dear Brother, it sounds like you are very hungry for the Truth. Love God with all of your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.

Do you find the Sermon on the Mount beautiful? Do you find the basic teachings of Christianity, beautiful. If you do, act upon it, and your faith will grow. Never mind about the details now. They will fall into place gradually.

Here's a prayer that would be helpful:

Lord,
my God,
my one hope,
hear me,
that I be not unwilling, through weariness,
to seek you,
but that I may always ardently seek your face.

Give me the strength to seek,
since you have made me in order to find you,
and have given me the hope of finding you more and more.

My strength and my weakness are known to you:
preserve the one
and heal the other.

My knowledge and my ignorance are known to you:
where you have opened to me,
receive me as I enter;
where you have closed to me,
open to me as I knock.

May I remember you,
understand you,
love you.

Increase these things in me
until you have wholly renewed me.

St Augustine of Hippo

A regards your fear of getting things wrong, misunderstanding God's commands, it's not the actions themselves that count with God, but the intention and generosity of spirit behind them. Of course if we become inured to serious sin and continue in it, then we will misunderstand more and more seriously, and our intentions will become insincere and twisted.

Not that God is too proud to resort to instilling fear in us for our own sake, but it will never be enough on its own. A sincere purpose of amendent, however faltering, will need to be shown - which involves supernatural grace, and so something more noble than merely the instinct for self-preservation.

He's not trying to trick us, or confront us with an obstacle course to hinder our search for truth. He wants us to learn, so you need to stop looking upon him as a kind of tyrant, who doesn't understand our weakness.

 

[Debby 24]

Continuing in prayer for you.

Hi Eishiba, I take it from your post that you are very young. Sometimes in our spiritual journey it takes a few years behind your belt to start understanding that God really is ALL. That said, one cannot simply define God into a neat tidy answer that one size fits all of humanity. You know when you are doing things right when you know peace and comfort and sleep at night. Constant devotion, study, prayer, and meditation, plus doing compassionate works is a good starting place. You simply know.... You might have a burning bush experience, but I think God reveals Himself gradually in more subtle ways. Praying for you!
