Hello Ervin we havenot met so Hi there.

Give up any thought of religion..When your hanging off a cliff or in an aeroplane that has engine trouble and the "emergency fasten your seat belts" lights are flashing and the lady beside you is praying, religion is your last thought. Believe it!

The promise I made was to God and no theory, "Let me live and I will search for you"
I lived and after 2 years He began to pull me toward Himself to fulfil my promise. I began to search for the person I spoke to that day.

Talk to him..pour out your complaint, if you don't ask him how would you be listening and expecting His answer?
Ask Him..His promise is that you will recieve if you ask.


One day I went to a friends house for coffee and I wanted to pour out. Guess what? There on the mantlepiece was a small picture with 2 words TELL JESUS. I shut up and told Jesus when I got home! Trust God first..a great way to start..okay?

i am done the christian in me has exspired.......good luck to those who find comfort in religion


Christianity is not a religion, its a way of life. I have felt like giving up myself. I have this Illness that I have been waiting God to give me freedom from. If I back down now, I will never be free from it. And I can't just abandon Jesus. He worked so hard to get me. He cries over stuff like this. A minister I know went into worship one day, and he noticed Jesus wasn't acting the way he normally acts. He said "Jesus, is something wrong? Did someone hurt you?" And Jesus said to him "You know me well don't you?" He was upset over what someone said to him. That could be anybody. People often think that Jesus doesn't care because they don't hear from him, they think he just doesn't feel anything because they don't hear him cry. I asked Jesus one night when I was crying. I looked up at the ceiling and I said to him "Jesus, do you even care?" not even five seconds later A tear splashed on my cheek.

When I go away from God for a while, I get troubled. I will go a couple of days and then i'll start to feel anxious and pressured to do what God wants me to do. Sometimes I do not like it. Actually now I am in one of those times. He wants me to pray for other people.
I will pray for you. :holy:

God Bless
-Katy

I will pray that the Lord touches your heart and that you turn back & come to him, but know that if you choice to reject him you will pay the ultimate price at the end "The Second Death". He does not want this for you and it hurts him to see you turn your back on him, I pray that you change your mind before its to late....One more thing, do not hang your hopes on religion or people. Christ is the only one you need to set your eyes on, read his word and find peace.

Your Brother In Christ,
Arch Angel

Ervin,
What happened to get you so down? If you give up on God, where are you going to go? The world has nothing to offer, even worse things. We all get discouraged and want to throw in the towel sometimes, I pray that God take me now to heaven, because I am tired and I just want to go home. I am tired of struggling, but then I have to stop my "Oh woe is me," and get on with life.
You know when you get your mind off yourself and your situation, and do something for others, it takes the attention off self and you feel better, but don't give up, that never accomplished anything, would you like it if God just gave up on you? God never promised us a rose garden, we all have trials, but the good thing is we have the peace and joy that we didn't have when we weren't saved. All these trials are just to build your character, your attitude, how are you going to act when hard times come, and to teach us maturity. Read the book of James. Hang in there, because in the end, we can go to heaven and that's the best of all! Praise God. I don't believe in luck, thats' the world's chance that it might or might not happen. We as christians the assurance tha God is not a man that he should like, his word is Yes and Amen and he a God of covenant, blessings and promises. God bless you.

I am not speaking of "religion" ...I am speaking of the True and Living G-d... Jesus Christ Yeshua...what has He done unto you that you now feel that your only way out is to turn your back on Him? Who hurt you? What were the lies told you and turned your heart? :cool:

Hey

Sometimes God allows stuff to happen to us that we can't deal with. He doesn't expect us to deal with it alone. He just wants us to realise that we always need Him. After we make the decision to stick with Him, things change. God allowed demons to torment me as a little child. It made me tired of life. But one day, I found out that Jesus is there for me, so I asked Him to help. He changed my life so dramatically. It drew me closer to God than I ever dreamed. Stick to the Lord, and He'll give you joy that far exceeds the intensity of the pain you are going through right now.

Hi dear friend I am so glad you are done with religion, because that doesn't cut it at all, you need to run to Jesus in your hour of need, cry out to Him. He feels your hurt right now and wants to bring healing and restoration in your life, it is time for you to really get to know Him and to know how He loves you.
Psa 34:1 I bless GOD every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise.
Psa 34:2 I live and breathe GOD; if things aren't going well, hear this and be happy:
Psa 34:3 Join me in spreading the news; together let's get the word out.
Psa 34:4 GOD met me more than halfway, he freed me from my anxious fears.
Psa 34:5 Look at him; give him your warmest smile. Never hide your feelings from him.
Psa 34:6 When I was desperate, I called out, and GOD got me out of a tight spot.
Psa 34:7 GOD's angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray.
Psa 34:8 Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see-- how good GOD is. Blessed are you who run to him.
Psa 34:9 Worship GOD if you want the best; worship opens doors to all his goodness. MSG

Religion isn't a crutch to get what you want. God always answers our prayers. Sometimes, it's not the way we want them answered (hence, we say He *didn't* answer them).

I have one question: What are you (or did you) give to God?
That was said so well, I'm repeating it
"Religion isn't a crutch to get what you want. God always answers our prayers. Sometimes, it's not the way we want them answered (hence, we say He *didn't* answer them). "
