I will pray for you, but I think you are wrong. You are in a position to pray, and you should. You are His own, as well. You are simply in denial, but that doesn't change the fact that He created you, and you are His. But you do have to do something. You have to talk to Him. You must surrender to Him. Through Him, all things are possible.

The enemy...well, that is tough. We have so many enemys with so many names, but I am getting the feeling you are talking about "the" enemy.

Well let me ask you this, are you dead? Because if you are not, there is still hope. Read the old testament. People, including the Jews, did a lot of stupid stuff. Idol worship, immorality, etc. New testament, how about Peter in Jesus' last hours of life, forsaking him 3 times, even cursing to convience others he didn't know Jesus.

Now if you just want to ask for help, but not accept it, you may have a problem. But don't sell the value of the inocently shed blood of Christ short. It is not simply a prayer that will help you, although prayers are neccesary; Jesus' giving of his sinless life for sinners, that's what is neccesary. It's not something you can do, it's something that has already been done for you.

God wants you. God is more powerful than anything you have ever encountered. Ask Paul, or Saul from the new testament. Not only would I call him the enemy prior to his conversion to Christianity, he was a muderous, pompous, zealot, sworn and authorized to singlehandedly capture and consequently kill Christians for simply following the way. Jesus claimed him as His tool, and he became putty in Christ's hands. Well, not putty, but maybe like an iron chisel and hammer to cut into the stone walls of classic judism, gentiles, and world leaders, alike.

The power is held by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And it is there for you to defeat he enemy that has it's hooks in you. You can cut the ties that unjustly bind and claim you, if you only ask. And change your allegance.

I am on your side. It appears we have a common enemy that you can defeat. I don't know what you've sworn or promised in your bargain, exactly, but I know what is offered to you: eternal salvation.

Do you know who Manasseh was? He was a king of Juda. He, quite honestly was an evil king. 2 Kings say the blood of the innocent filled the city from end to end. He sacrificed his son with fire, if I remember correctly. He placed phallic statues in the temples of God, and a number of other terrible things. Google him. But also look up the info in Chronicles. You see, God took him down. Gave him to his enemies, and he was placed in jail. While in jail, he his rock bottom. Somehow, he realized his mistake with God and humbled himself to God. He truly repented, and God saw this.

This is never a story people hear about. We typically like to see the bad guy get punished: giant killed by David's stone, wicked of world killed by flood, etc. But God doesn't see it that way. He forgives. It wouln't make a good movie, but Manasseh returned to his throne, reinstated God as his only God, and made retribution. He died and was buried with his father. No revenge, just a remidied mistake.

You made some kind of bargain. True, but you can make another one with God; one that will cleans any wrong mistakes you have made, previously. Gods is infinite. He supersedes all other entities.

I will pray for you. You can pray to God. He IS your God, too.

Honestly, what have you got to loose. If you cannot regain control of your souls direction, trying to pray to God, asking for forgiveness, what can really put you in much of a worse situation?

One more thing. I was just praying for you. I am not one to have visions or prophesy, but does a red eye in the darkness mean anything to you. As I prayed I saw one. As I prayed, I asked God to protect you from it. Three horizontal wooden rods covered it up.

I don't know if I imagined this, don't know if it is significant to you, but thought you should
Know. If I am correct, you have just been blessed with privacy. Don't know how or why I know this, but there it is.

Your friend,

Lord, have mercy! :crosseo:

Do not doubt that you can pray also. Read about the tax collector who called upon God for mercy in Luke 18 & the blind man who (not realizing fully at first, but rightfully) called upon God by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pray the Father as the Lord instructed us in Matthew 6:9-13:

Matthew 6:9-13

King James Version (KJV)

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.


Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ like the men in Luke 18. Say, "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!"


Note as St. Paul tells us:

Romans 10:9-13

New King James Version (NKJV)

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”[a] 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”[b]
Footnotes:

  1. Romans 10:11 Isaiah 28:16
  2. Romans 10:13 Joel 2:32


The Lord is with us do not give up hope. see:


<H3>Revelation 3:19-22

New King James Version (NKJV)

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 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. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’”

</H3>

Hello all.

I have schizophrenia and MDD. I'm not exactly in a position to pray to God or his Son. Maybe if his own pray for me, the same effect can be had.

Peace.

Peace be upon you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who hath given them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one. (John 10:27-30 ASV)

Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go, ye know the way. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. (John 14:1-4, 6, 7 ASV)

17 months, two weeks, and two days ago I forfeited my immortal soul in a Faustian Bargain. I literally am unable to pray to your God. Thank you, though.

when you say you literaly can't pray that you try and can't? i want you to think about something logicaly ... all souls belong to God ... you can't give away, sell, or otherwise dispose of something that does not belong to you ... it may seem that way ... but not so ... your soul belongs to God ... ultimately He will decide your fate ... He is who we stand before ... not the enemy ... you can change your mind any time ... all you have to do is ask for forgiveness, repent, and He will take it from there ... tis so or i wouldn't say so ... hope this helps ...

want to hear a crazy story? one night i asked God "how do I pray?".. the next day i walked out of a room and seen it horizontal on the end of the bed. he answered me, even though I knew the answer and was just asking as a way of just ignoring reality. he is there for you, RIGHT THIS MOMENT. Right now.. he's watching you read this.. he's listening to your thoughts and watching your actions.. he doesn't forget unless you are really sorry and ask for your sins to be forgiven by the true living God.. the God of the Holy Bible. Really.. you sound so depressed.. i've seen miracles man. you might not see much out of the bible story.. but i have a ton more. message me and ill share.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.

O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, Treasury of good things and Giver of Life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us of all impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (thrice).

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

O Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us. O Lord, wash away our sins; O Master, pardon our iniquities; O Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name’s sake.

Lord, have mercy (three times).

Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, Who art in the Heavens, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

you think hell is funny.. you think this is all a joke? Well, I'm schizo-affective and God never stops being there for me. You can't sell your soul to the devil.. sure, you can keep yourself in that mind-set and sort of bind it. its just.. if you want God, he's waiting for you.
