All God wants for you to do is love him.
wants you to be his friend, not his co-worker.
wants you to understand that he'll be faithful to you always.

Cause he knows if he reveals his will to you, you'd be setting up a trap for yourself and premature to handle what he has in store for you. In order to understand anything about God, try seeing him as your own best friend instead of your general.

Trust him. Ask to grow in your relationship with him. because the God that everyone think is there. the mean guy on the throne is exactly the opposite... a very nice and understanding guy. just tell him how you feel.

Father,

I pray for our brother to taste and see how wonderfully Good you are my Lord. Give Him eyes to see and a light to burn bright for You my God. Thank you Lord for shedding your most precious and Holy blood for each and every single one of us here and world wide, and for coming as a man named Jesus and taking all our sins upon your body and beautiful precious soul my love. Thank you Father, there is none like you. I love you and I am so very grateful and thankful for the love you showed us at Golgotha 2000 years ago (Calvary), and for all the love you show us all daily and what is yet to come. Peace always be with us all. In Jesus name there is only 'One', YOU, who is Magnificent and Magestic in the Heavens, on earth and this entire Universe! WE ARE FREE LORD! AMEN!

deuteronomy 29.29 ... like the nick cage and sean connery dialogue in the movie " the rock " ... it is a need to know basis ... and right now you don't need to know .. which Jesus said when you are baptised , confirmed , and attend services regularly ... you start to understand , what others do not ...

I really don't know if there is a god, or what is right or wrong. I just though hope if there is a "god' or higher being I pray for a better understanding of his will, or in what way he'd want me to serve him. I would really like to know what's right or wrong, and what he wants. I'm just so unsure, lost, sad, lonely, and I need help. I'm uncertain about everything and it's just really hard for me to believe. Thanks for your support!

Hello from all the christian here
You say you dont understand god are if
there is a god.
I will a sure you there is a God,I am a
Christian been one for 40 year's I also
have seen two of God's angels on earth.

If you wont to know God the Christian
bible tell's you all about him and his son

The first thing God will say to not only
but everyone on Earth is that his way's
his thought's are higher than our's.
And his way's higher than our way's.

If you wont to know God read the holy
bible it tells all about him.

Also you haft to understand we have a
spirit being that does not wont us to
know God.

His name is satan

There is two places in your life you need
to guard with you life.
That is your thought's and your tongue.
Satan and demon spirit's can control
both those thing's in our life.

That is why Christian's that have God's
holy Spirit can be aware of what satan
is doing in the live's of people.

Just like me i operate with gift seven
Which lets me see into the spirit world.
so that i can help people satan is trying
to control.

Jesus christ makes it very clear he says
i will be with you till the end of the
world the end of this earth age.

You can not think a thought that god
not know about.

If you hang around christian people they
can help you also .The older they are
the more they are going to know.

When we start out being a christian we
are what the bible calls babe's in christ.
You know as well as i know when we
first got here we new nothing.we had
to learn what we know.

The same way being a christian we start
out as a babe then as we grow in God
we learn more.

But we haft to be aware also satan
wont's to teach us his ways.

That's why you need to read the bible
and then if you dont understand what
it means ask a christian that has been a
Christian longer.

The universe, this Earth and our own bodies are all far too complicted and intricate to have simply happened without the help of an intelligent and magnificent God. Did you know that if this planet were just 2 degrees off it's present axis, life as we know it would be impossible? Or that the positions of all the other planets in our solar system work out PRECISELY so than earth is protected from space debris, except those smaller particles that usually are destroyed by our atmosphere? Random chance? I dare say not! there are far to many odds against it to make me believe it was not all put together by design. I could go on all day, but i think you see where i'm going.
God is not an impersonal creator, but a very personal, loving spirit, who wants you to know him. that is why he puts his laws in our hearts, so that we may know his plan for us, yet he gives us the choice to follow or not to follow. if you choose to follow, do so out of love, not out of fear.

I understand where your coming from,Well if you really wont to know Read the holy bible
it tell's all about him.And his son.
There are also differant version's of the
holy bible to help you understand more.

Well the lord God Tell's us christians that
his ways are way above our ways.and his thought's are far above our,s.
It's like going to school we dident know much when we started out we started learning a few thing's and as we went along for a few month's then we knew
a lot more than we did say 6 months ago.
I will asure you there is a God ,and he has a son that loves you very much.
Well i have always have known there is a God,all i had to do is look up.
It took more than mear humband's to create that.
God know's the desire of your heart.He
alway's hear's you when you talk.He also knows what your going to say before you
even say it with your lip's.
It take's quit a while to really know much about God But like i said if you read the holy christian bible you will find out a lot about how and what God is
One thing we christian know about God is
that he is love.And he show's love for his
creation by offering his son in our place on the cross.
If you talk to older christian you can find
out quit a bit about God because they have been getten closer to him as the years go on.
Like me i am 65 will be 66 march 9.
God has given me the pleasure of seeing two of his angels on earth while i have been here.
I dont know if you have been around long enought to have heard of robo cop.
The one angel looked just like him in the face. But the angel was 12 foot tall God
has angel's in the million's.
The other angel i seen was average height maby 5.6 foot tall,she had a women's voice. Allthought angel's are neither mail nor female they talk like we do and they sing like some of us do.
This is one other thing you need to know,
There is another angel which is a fallen
angel his name is satan he is evil from the word go.
He can put thought's in our mind when really they are not our though's
That is another thing about readen the bible even with a good friend also.
Because the holy bible tell's us all about him he hates us God love's us never forget that we need to guard our thought's.and not run with ever thing we
think.
We only haft to remember if what we are thinking if sad and it makes us fill bad.
we know that that is not what God wont's for us.
It's like me i am single guess who my best friend is,THE father and his son,because i know they both love all of us very much.
The father Got has put a time frame one
his return to earth to make all thing's
wondeful for us.
When his son returns to earth for his people the one's that love him.
He will appear from the east and when he desend's to the earth to make thing.s right he will shought with the voice of a ark angel ,
He is called the king of king's and the lord of lord's.
He is coming back and take control of this
whole Earth it belong's to him.
Satan did have it as his because the first
family on Earth sold out to satan and believe satan instead of God.
In other word's they did what God said not do
That is how satan got control of the whole
Earth and all the people on Earth.
King jesus is offering us a way back into a relationship with him ,all we haft to do is dont do thing's that we know are wrong.
Sometime's we may do thing's that is wrong at the time but were not aware of that.
it was wrong till we found out it was.
God understands we just ask him to forgive us and he does.
And we go one our merry way still loving
the God THAT loved us before we ever new much about him.
Go does love and the christians here love
you also.
Because God inform's us christian if we dont love the people on earth how will
they ever know that God loves them also.
You are loved by God ever christian hear
including me.
Father in the name of your dear son may you now show your love for this person
Thru all the christian here that say they know you in Jesus holy name.
May the God of of all creation bless your
coming and going as you learn more about him.:amen: :thumbsup:
do.

God ways are not our ways. They are not of this world. We will never understand God until we shed this sinful body. God Bless You!

The statement you made above does not
line up with what the holy bible teaches.
The last part of what you said.
We will never understand God untill we shed
shed this sinful body.

The way we understand the deeper thing's
of God is by having his in dwelling holy spirit.
What thing's know man but the spirit that is in man.
What things do you know of
God but by the spirit of God
In you .if you are a christian
with God's holy spirit you can and will know the thing's of God . as
he feed;s it into your spirit by his holy spirit that dwell's in you.
The thing is how much time do you spend with God 10 min
are 14 hour's :clap:

You are not lonely, because when you dont know who God is, and for the fact that you are hungry to know him, he is with you. I want to say a short prayer with you

Dear Lord,

I pray for my friend, I pray that you reveal yourself to him Lord just as you did reveal yourself to me 11 years ago. Father you are the only who saves us from sins, Lord let my friend know that you are the ultimate, there is no one higher to you, in you there is peace joy and happiness and everlasting life.

Lord I pray give my friend the feeling of love, joy and peace after this prayer knowing that you are living God.

AMEN

If You Died Today, Would You Go To Heaven?

1. GOD LOVES YOU AND IS SEEKING TO HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH
YOU

"In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and
sent His Son to remove the barrier of sin." (1 John 4:10)

God loves you and planned a wonderful, full life for you. He wants
to enter a personal and intimate relationship with you that includes
fellowship, inner peace, happiness, guidance in life and power to
fulfill His special plan for your life.

2. SIN HAS CREATED A BARRIER BETWEEN MAN AND GOD

"All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

GOD is Holy, and cannot have a relationship with anyone who falls
short of His righteous character. Sin began when man went his own
independent way and rejected his relationship with God. At that
point, man became unacceptable to God's Holy character.

The Ten Commandments were given to show us how good we would have to
be if we try to come to God in our own merit. But God doesn't grade
our law-keeping on the curve. He said, "For whoever keeps the whole
law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all."
(James 2:10)

No matter how sincere we are, or how hard we try, or how religious
we are, we can never produce a righteousness that God can accept.
Even our good deeds are not acceptable in God's sight, "But we are
all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like
filthy rags …" (Isaiah 64:6)

So our sin has created a barrier that we cannot remove. Even though
God loves you, He cannot compromise His holy character to receive
you. Only God can remove this barrier.

3. JESUS CHRIST CAME TO REMOVE THE BARRIER BETWEEN GOD AND MAN

Jesus said of Himself, "For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish
but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

"The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give
His life a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28)

You see, God so loved us that He stepped out of eternity into time
and became a man in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived a perfect
life as a man and thus qualified to die for the sins of the world.
He then willingly died in our place to purchase a pardon for sins
and satisfy the demands of His own perfect justice. When He did, He
tore down the barrier of sin that separated us.

4. NOW THERE IS ONLY ONE BARRIER BETWEEN YOU AND GOD YOU MUST
RECEIVE THE PARDON JESUS PURCHASED FOR YOU

Jesus Christ has removed every barrier that stood between you and
God except one -- you must receive the pardon He purchased for you
by an act of your will. You see, a pardon is not a pardon until it
is received. There is a pardon with your name on it in heaven, but
you must receive it to make it valid.

It is not a matter of how good you are -- or even how bad you are.
The issue is, will you talk to God and tell him you receive the
pardon he purchased for you. He wants you to come just as you are
and confess you can never be good enough for Him to accept.

YOU can change your eternal destiny right now. Wherever you are,
just bow your head and tell God you receive His pardon for your
sins. Ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and begin to give you
a new heart with new desires. He will come into your life and bring
a new power and motivation for living you never dreamed possible.

Jesus gave us this invitation, "Behold, I stand at the door and
knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in
to him and dine with him, and he with Me." (Revelation 3:20) The
door represents your will.

The Lord Jesus Christ is knocking at the door of your will right
now. Just invite Him in and receive the gift of pardon He gave His
life to give you. Then thank Him for the pardon and that He must
keep His Word.

Don't expect feelings right away. Some have them, some don't. The
important thing is to simply believe God keeps His Word and He now
has come to live in you. Seek out a Church that is true to the Bible
and seek to learn about your new life. Read the Bible daily.

"For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might
become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21)

Welcome to the forever family of God!

You are not alone in experiencing doubt, it is part of the human condition.
It may seem facile but I think you already know what is right and wrong inside... there may seem like a lot of grey areas, but I think, not in essentials.. in minor details maybe.
Learning to be objective can be tough when circumstances go "against us".
To me, my God is what releases me from the grip of fear.. my "step-back and take a good look at this" rational mind; my "I know the sun will rise tomorrow"; my "bright side".. the part of me that smiles and stays patient and caring when my mother says the same thing for the 15th time and when the mentally ill lady who comes to my church shouts out in the service.
My God takes me by the hand and tells me that worrying makes me ill and tears make my eyes sore but neither accomplishes anything. My God is all the good things about me, all my blessings.
You don't have to visualise God as an old man with a beard sitting on a cloud... One thing we do know is that God's nature and purpose is unknowable to the feeble human mind, but the absolute truth is in H?ope, and in Faith, because these are two qualities that we all need, just to get by. It is how and where we choose to invest our hopes and our faith that determine how our lives turn out. If we put our hopes and faith on worldly things, eg. on other people, flawed like ourselves and on the works of Man we will surely be disappointed. If we raise our hopes higher and focus on truth, honesty, justice, compassion etc, we stand a better chance to not be disappointed. As a Christian I know that all those qualities are personified in Jesus Christ so I focus upon him as my true path and I believe that he IS the true path. I hope that kind of makes sense to you without sounding too preachy?
I pray that you are able to resolve your uncertainty. It is a good sign that you are able to contemplate such things deeply for a seeking mind will find it's truth sooner or later. Best of luck in your quest. Remember you are not alone...

Hey its okay :) almost everyone has been there, especially at about your age to my age (We aren't that far apart). I will pray for you, and if you have any questions, or just need a friend, I'll be more than happy to fill those shoes if you let me.

Have an awesome day, and may God fill you with the knowledge, wisdom and understanding that you seek.

In the Mighty name of Jesus,

Amen
