How to get God to leave you alone.

[JRSut1000]

I don't think any true Christian here is going to purposefully point you in the path of destruction or backsliding for the mere purpose of answering your question.

 

[Pal Handy]

What are you doing that God is so persistent in stopping you?

I will side with God and my prayers are that God stop
you from your sin or wrong choices in whatever way is necessary...

It is a few things actually. I have three addictions I am dealing with which are food, unhealthy sexual fantasies and video games. I have tried repeatedly in the past to stop these, but it DOESN'T work. When I converse with God about it (if that is who it really is) he tells me I am doing it in my own strength, but when I ask him to help me, he says he isn't able to because I am to PRIDEFUL. When I ask him how I humble myself so I can recieve his help, he tells me that I am the one who humbles you. So basically he keeps telling me to stop these things, but he isn't humbing me to the point where I am able to recieve his help. I am sorry if I am not making any sense, I sometimes wonder if this is God since it is so confusing. I am quite frankly sick of fighting with him over these things and just want to continue in them until I am able to eventually pull away from them. Thank you for the reply and I hope this gives you a better understanding.

Ok...now you make perfect sense.

I know what you are going through....
I feel your pain and your fustration...

I have been exactly where you are and in some ways
I am still where you are.

We all struggle.
We all are imperfect and fall short.

But I want you to think about this.

God loves you and died for you and gave you the righteousness of Christ
so to God, He sees YOU as He sees His son Jesus Christ, perfect and sinless.

God sees you as perfect and sinless before Him and He loves you as His
very own son. God loves you absolutely and unconditionally not based
on how good or bad you are but by the righteousness of Christ.

So here is the problem....

You are trying to please God by your actions and then getting angry with
Him when he can't make you perfect in yourself apart from Christ.

Do you see it?

Do you see why God can't answer your prayer?

Do you see why He says you have pride and that He must humble you
before He can change you?

The humbling part comes in the fact that we can never be holy and perfect in ourselves
apart from Christ no matter how hard we try or no matter how much help God gives us.

It is impossible for men in the flesh to obtain the perfect righteousness God requires.

So we must always trust and have faith in our relationship with God as based soley on what
Christ has done.

If we could be perfect and without sin, we wouldn't need a savior and Christ would have died for nothing.

So you are in a catch 22

You want to please God and escape your sins and wrongful actions and
attitudes but God will never be able to cause you to grow until you realize
that you will never obtain perfection without Christ being your only source righteousness,
no matter how far you progress or grow.

It is impossible for us to please God in ourselves.

1 So...the only way we can progress is to realize we can never please God apart from Christ
and that God has accepted us absolutely based solely on Jesus Christ.

2 If we want to grow and be more like Christ we must acknowledge
that with us it is impossible to become perfect in the flesh so that in the end all we can
do is surrender our own efforts and our lives into God's hands and ask Him to have His way
and to do the changing of our hearts His way as we surrender absolutely to His will for our lives.

So don't get mad at God because He sees you as perfect in Christ
as you insist that you need Him to change you so you can be
approved of by God in your opinion or sight.

God wants to change you but you must be willing to surrender it all....

Tell God you are sorry for getting mad at Him and cling to Christ
as your right standing before God and
ask God to help you change not so He will accept you any more
than He does right now
but that He will change you so that you can be of service to Him for kingdom work
to help other come to know the saving grace of
Jesus Christ who is your only true righteousness.

Do you see the difference?

One way is you trying to please God in yourself.
The other way is your giving your life over to God in Christ so He
can use you even though you are imperfect to bless others and
to show others the way you have found....

Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Ps A good book to read that will help you understand the surrender I speak of
is called Absolute Surrender by Andrew Murray. This little book describes clearly
the terms that God offers us in Christ and why so many try and fail without
realizing God's plan for our blessing.

I will say a prayer for you tonight before I go to bed.

Don't lose heart, God is for you and He will bring you through
as long as you don't turn your back on Him.

Give God a break, He is a wonderful person if you take the time to get to know Him...

Hello,
frankly I want God to leave me alone and he refuses to do
so.
I have repeatedly told him I will not change right now.
Is this possible? Thank you for your help.
​

In light (or darkness) of what you just wrote:
You are asking US to help you? Why? -
You already told God/Jesus you WONT change;
so what do you expect us to tell you differently... LISTEN to your Conscience already!

The point of this thread was to understand how to get God to leave me alone. I wasn't asking for anyones help on changing, because as I have already stated I will not change at this time. Thank you for the reply though.

First of all, I don't want to make any assumptions here, so correct me as needed. Now allow me to be blunt, I know no other way and I'm not good with this sort of thing, that is talking.

You're an addict and as such if you haven't already, study up on addiction, do some research to get an understanding about those voices in your head (which I'm all too familiar with myself) because then you might have a better understanding of where they're coming from. And then you might know that they're probably obsessive in nature (I would know this myself). You say you don't want to change but you wan't "God" to leave you alone, making the assumption that these voices/thoughts are from God when perhaps most of them are not, that is the obsessive nature behind them is not of God. You seem well aware of what God requires from you and I'm sure that God is OK with you being aware of this without sending hounding thoughts to you, so I think you might benefit from getting a deeper understanding of where they're coming from. God isn't going to leave you alone, that is he will never leave you nor forsake you, but he will leave you alone with your thoughts. Are you sure you want to be left alone? (Again, having been exactly where you are as far as wanting to be left alone, I found that being left alone turned out to be more lunacy then anything)

I hope I made any sense.

It's great to understand whose voice and OP understands this is Yahweh.

 

[lemon-aid stand]

Hello,

I know this may sound like a very disturbing topic, but quite frankly I want God to leave me alone and he refuses to do so. Is their any possible way I can get God to leave me alone. I don't want responses that deal with I shouldn't wish this, I am tired of him asking me to change after I have repeatedly told him I will not change right now. Is this possible? Thank you for your help.

i am not going to sugar coat this, as you stated in your wishes.. i personally don't have anything to lose by your turning away from God.. so, i will be frank.. God will leave you alone the moment that you exhale your last breath.. then you will have your wishes.. its not easy being a christian soldier.. the majority of people are not, nor will ever be up to the task.. that is why the bible says, many are called. but, few are chosen.. but, i will add this. if God has you in His book of elect.. you will be saved. if only to bring glory to His name, by showing mercy to an undeserving sinner.. there isn't anything that you could ever do to change that.. you see. the very fact that you just don't turn away. but, you are on here asking that very question. is sign enough to me and most i would imagine, that you are still going toward God and not away.. when we truly put something behind us.. we are so fed up that we don't even want mention of it.. much less inquire what to do about it.. so, i am certain that you are just looking for attention, and that's fine.. we are all pretty much attention seekers.. it`s our very nature as human beings.. so, i will leave you with this thought.. it isn't about you and me.. it's all about God, and Him bringing glory to His name.. and He does that in only two ways.. the first is by showing mercy to those whom do not deserve His mercy. these are the vessels that are created unto glory.. they are God's elect.. the other way. well, is by God pouring out His wrath on sin[unrighteousness].. these are the vessels that are created unto wrath.. the first is God's plan for our salvation through Jesus Christ.. the second is our plan to be our own ruler and saviour.. the first leads to life eternal in Christ Jesus. the second leaves us right where we are before we are saved[born again]. and that is dead in our transgressions.. i will tell you that if you continue to rebel against God. you will receive in full your wishes.. be careful my friend. we are talking about the One that gave you life and can also take that life away. and i mean this life.. God will not be mocked. and what you are doing right now is scoffing in the face of the Almighty.. if you are serious. then you would certainly end your membership on this site and we would no longer hear from you.. or you could get back into the word.. ask God to forgive this silly outburst of human emotions and i will add pride... and He is certain to forgive you, because He loves you..
in Christ.... dale ps. i honestly hope that you make the choice of remaining in the fold.. you are not alone in your frustration.. it is extremely difficult being a saint in a world of rebellion.. please feel free to message me for any information that might build you up in Christ.. because i myself, along with all of the saints, love you and would not want anything short of God`s plan for your life..

 

[MountainofGod1]

has anyone asked any specific questions about how ''God'' is doing anything to him anyways?

sounds like anything that happens to the OP so far is ''God'' and people are simply telling him to put up with it instead of recognizing that he has no idea who is doing what.

Tell God to go Rockytopva's direction... I need all the blessings from him I can get!

m (mass) = E / c2 (energy and light)

All came together with light and energy… Otherwise Einstein’s theory is in error. There are three varieties of E / c2…

1. Physical E / c2 = Mass… That which has weight

2. Spiritual E / c2 = Spirituality… Motivation, warmth, love, faith, hope, charity.

3. Intellectual E / c2 = Thoughts… The magical ability to think


All of these virtues come from God the Father. As we humans are sinful beings we come to the Father in Jesus name. How you think that God's great energy and light will do thee harm I will never know... Nor do I want to!

[Godsgirl79]

Well quite frankly I suggest being thankful that he is nudging you. It talks about in Hebrews chpt 12 that God disciplines those he loves, and that if he didn't then he wouldn't love you. If he is telling you to do something over and over and over again... I have learned.. that it usually is because it is for a very good purpose. It isn't very often that he nudges me over and over and over again (though at times I wished he would've) but there have been times I ignored it and later on found out what a huge blessing that I lost out on. I do not even know your circumstance or if it's even God because there isn't enough detail but I will share with you a story of my own that once I did get mad at God and I told him "leave me alone" and even wondered what it would take to make the holy spirit leave.. and so I said "leave me alone" and suddenly I swear he spoke to my heart and said "chose, do you want me here or gone?". I felt a little fearful about the idea of him actually being gone because I felt like if I told him sincerely to go he might've, so I chilled out and admitted that I didn't want him to go and right after that that thing that kept bothering me stopped. The reason why i even question if it's god or not is because long ago I was suffereing from ocd which i didn't understand at the time and sometimes what i thought was god really was just fear (opposite of god). But to answer your question.. the way to get god to leave you alone if he doesn't quit is compromise... this is what i do if i don't feel ready or willing. I say "ok God, I don't want to do this, am not ready... but if you give me the grace to do it and change my willingness I will". That helps me a lot. I hope it helps you. God bless.

 

[Ultima4257]

Thank you for the support everyone. Honestly I was just very angry when I posted this. I have since calmed down some, but I am still not happy about the whole situation. Thank you again everyone.

 

[MountainofGod1]

am I missing something here, or did you actually give a reason for thinking God is trying to influence you or affect you at all in your life?

 

[Ultima4257]

"am I missing something here, or did you actually give a reason for thinking God is trying to influence you or affect you at all in your life"?
I explained previously on this thread. I believe that God has been telling me to repent of three major addictions I am dealing with at this moment, in other words turn from them and stop doing them. (Food, Video Games and Sexual Fantasies) My problem is I have tried mutiple time in the past to stop these, but I have been unable to. When I bring this point up to God, I believe he tells me that I have been trying in my own strength and I need his help. When I ask God for his help I believe he tells me I am unable to help you because you are too prideful. Then I ask God how I can stop being prideful, so I can recieve his help, and I believe he tells me that I am the one that humbles you. Honestly I am not sure if it is God, because these statments confuse me. Anyway, I hope that helps answer your question.

 

[MountainofGod1]

yah I don't think you have anything to worry about then, those are normal things and we don't live in glorified bodies yet. Watch the devil try to beat you up over being human, thats one game he can play well.

 

[tturt]

Yes, we all have things we have to deal with and that will always be so. But since Yahweh brought it up, it's very important.

ultima4267, He's given you the beginning steps - by you repenting and relying on Him means that He's helping you not be so prideful. The question is: Are you ready now?

 

[GodsDaughter1981]

It is a few things actually. I have three addictions I am dealing with which are food, unhealthy sexual fantasies and video games.

Oh, ultima! I feel for you. I really, really do. I'm so glad you were able to share what those addictions are. You might not realise it but that in itself is a huge thing.

For my part, I am fighting an addiction too - to nicotine. When I said I know it's hard to change...good grief, I meant it!

Please know that you're in my prayers so that when you feel you're ready to take that step, God will take you by the hand and lead you through it.

Some truths I've discovered this week; they may help you too:

- God is truly alive and works in your life
- The God who raised Jesus from the dead is the same one who lives in you
- God has already given each of us all that we need to walk in faith and truth with him. We just need to learn how to use it.

Grab those truths, ultima, and hold onto them!

God bless,

GD

I smoked for years after becoming saved. God delivered me from it once and I picked it up again. Gods like... Alright buster... Your own your own with this thing. The only way I could drop the cig's was to start chewing tobacco. When the urge to smoke was gone I dropped the chewing tobacco before that became a habit...

You just blessed man:
a lucky star that cant see its blessing because of the darkness surrounding it:

MAN do you know how many people would love to be pulled at by the Lord: When He does that to me i feel so blessed:
Stop bragging" SMILE

LET GOD LOVE YOU

 

[wayfaring man]

When we refer to God, we refer to our concept of God... and some concepts are basically sounder/more Scriptural than others...but none of them are presently equal to God in The Fullness of Being.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. <-----> 1st Corinthians 13:12

No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us. <-----> 1st John 4:12

According to what can be presently perceived by The Word of God.

1. God is generally kind and gentle. But can become angry, indignant, insistent, etc.

2. Christ declared God's Nature, having first hand knowledge and experience with being "one" with The Father.

3. The Holy Spirit does convict the world of sin.

4. But the greatest aspect of our sin, is generally not the bad we do - it's the good we neglect while busy with our wrong/unprofitable pursuits.

The only good way to "get God to leave you alone", is to focus on giving more thought, time, and energy to doing some good, (i.e. loving others in a Christ-like manner).

No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us. <-----> 1st John 4:12

Then our life will be effectually brought into a "peaceful relationship", with God, and He will then not have any need of continuously urging us (to think/do differently) in ways which typically discomfort us all.

This doesn't require immediate, absolute perfection, or that one "never", play a game or experience selfish pleasure "ever again"...but it does require setting aside some quality time for loving/serving others in a sincerely Christ-like way.

Once we begin to experience and compare the joy which comes with being in harmony with Christ's Spirit, and the joys which other things of this world offer, we can then begin to see the significant contrast between them, and this makes a world of difference in how we perceive our life and the opportunity which God has freely given us in Christ.

The humbling which The Lord would have from us, directly involves esteeming others as being worthy of our service, in spite of the fact that they, as we, are yet imperfect, and still somewhat tainted by a sinful nature.

Yet, it's usually best to offer assistance to those who welcome and appreciate it, in ways which inspire giving glory and thanks to Jesus and our Heavenly Father, Who make all this possible !

So, in practical application -

Pray, seek for a way to devote some time/energy towards loving, serving others in need, on a regular basis. This will relieve much, if not all, of the pressure felt while being overly preoccupied with things which are mainly self-centered/spiritually unprofitable in nature.

God's wants for us to be faithfully fruitful and spiritually rich !

P.S. There was a time when I used to scream at the top of my lungs towards God, "Leave me alone". Now, it is realized that what was/is really needed is to be in better standing with God, through being more in line with Jesus and His Way of serving/loving others.

Ultimately God becomes the very best friend we can possibly have, or the exceedingly worst possible enemy ever. (And this is largely based on how we treat each other, in The Light which Christ Is.) Furthermore, an enemy is least likely to respect our desire for solitude, rest, refreshment, relief, rejuvenation, etc., etc.. !

Scripture speaks of those who are ultimately cursed by God, for their unrepentant, unrighteous pursuits, as being "tormented day and night for ever and ever ". (Revelation 20:10)

Conclusion: resisting God is not the way to be "left alone" in peace. But serving Him faithfully/gladly will lead to a peaceful accord between Him and us, and each other.

Ask yourself this question - why don't you want to change right now? What's holding you back from changing?

Second question - will what ever it is that's holding you back now be gone or different in the future?

Third - what's the consequenses of not changing at all?

God loves you and wants the best for you. He wants a close relationship with you but He can't have that as long as you have those addictions in your life. Hence the nudges to get rid of them.. with His help.

Matt 11:28-30
28 &#8220;Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.&#8221; (NIV)

 

[RachelAnnOU]

How long have you been trying to conquer the addictions? and what are some ways you've tried?

 

[chuck77]

You are in the wrong place to ask for this kind of advice....

Where then, do you suggest this person ask? If this person were walking down the street when Jesus was on earth at the time, and made this statement to Jesus can you see Jesus saying to them what you just said?

I can't. Some people need to be astute enough to know a cry for help when they see it, especially Christians.
