I dont even know what Gods will means.
people tell me "go to God" all the time... but I can't because
I don't know where to find him.

We ALL (even still) do bad things...
There was only one perfect man; and He died painfully on a cross.

What does God's will mean? That's easy enough to explain.... What is your Dad's will? What is your Mom's will? What do they want you to do? All you would have to do is ask them.... And all you have to do is ask God!
You don't know where to find Him? He's everywhere! He has known you since before time; far before you were born.
I pray your heart turns from stone:)

This might seem like I'm coming out of nowhere but are you lonely? Are you looking to interact?

I saw your "fearless" whatever ya call it, I'm fearless too! No kidding. I used to brag about it back before God found me. I'm a tough little gal who whoops butt. I am actually fearless now that I have Jesus in my life. I don't have to prove it anymore. I can just be me.

I know that God is near you, waiting to be felt. I have faith in Him, he came and I felt Him when I received His Son. I was a loud kick butt beer drinkin' football lovin' gal on her knees begging for Christ. LOUDLY. I don't screw around LOL!!!

I still drink beer and love football by the way. I think the really big thing is God is number one in my life. On my thoughts, in my mind. Always.

Please ask Him, girl!

Bless you!!!

Well dear there is the ONE and only way. You MUST GIVE IT ALL TO GOD




GOD demands that you give HIM your WHOLE heart, mind, strength, and soul. That means you go in prayer and tell GOD that you will do this and from that moment on seek GOD in all your decisions. Then pick up GOD'S ROAD MAP to the KINGDOM of ALMIGHTY GOD ( BIBLE ) and start reading the NEW TESTIMENT till the next time you read it you will already know what IT'S going to say. For then it's locked in your heart to draw from for the rest of your life. You will NEVER be sorry you did.




After this is complete GOD will know. For HE searches the heart. HE will then send HIS HOLY SPIRIT ( ANOINTED-BORN AGAIN- SAVED ). For it is then that you shall receive the MISSION GOD has for just you and supply all your needs, even what you have not the ability to have.



I can see you are young and doing things your way. Generally that makes for some of the best CHRISTIANS. WHY? Because they tasted what the world has to give THEIR WAY. But after a while they get tired of the strife the world has to give and find themselves feeling hollow or having a itch they can't scratch. This is a BLESSING from GOD as it directs us to start looking for that untouchable peace that ONLY GOD can give.




Do yourself a BIG FAVOR and Start right now!!!



LOVE

You said it first - the company you keep. You need to find friends who love you and don't drag you into using things that will kill you (and they will over time).

Jesus told us to pray "Lead us not unto temptation" - revealing that there is a pathway of patterned thought, behavior and even social interaction that leads us to the "bad things" that you're talking about. So we ALL need to identify the pathway and take another one. It starts in the mind - what are you thinking when you go down the path? If you're thinking "freedom" or "fun" then you're forgetting where it all leads.

I need to be accountable where I'm weak which means someone who asks me questions about where I've been and what I've done. It might sound controlling, but it saves my life.

You should not defile your body with “substances” as it does not belong to you, it belongs to God, for Jesus died and bought you. Also, it should be kept as undefiled as possible as the Holy Spirit abides there.

1 Corinthians 6
19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

You have told us that you don’t know God’s will. God’s will is basically what he would have you do, e.g. help others, abstain from sinful actions etc. Do what is Godly and not what is evil or disobedient to him. Don’t do anything that you know is wrong.

When people say, “go to God” they mean pray to him and ask him for help. God does not stay in heaven and never comes out, God is everywhere and he knows more about us than even what we know about ourselves. God can be spoken to at anytime. You don’t even have to literally speak the words; you can just pray to him in your head.

Pray to the Holy Spirit. Perhaps you have done a lot of wrong, or have done something to grieve the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:30
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit, by whom you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption

You say you have never felt him (God). But you seam certain your going to heaven. Are you sure you’re truly saved as someone who is saved normally has felt God.

You should not carry on sinning i.e. substance abuse. We will all continue committing sins now and again as we are weak and the devil can deceive you when you have lost your peace.

Luke 4:30
35 “Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit. 36 “Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks. 37 “Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them. 38 “Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.
39 “But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 40 “You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”
41 Peter said, “Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?” 42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time? 43 “Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes. 44 “Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 “But if that slave says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk; 46 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47 “And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.

We all do bad things... welcome to the club. If you are a christian, (Born Again, which means that the Holy Spirit has taken up residence in you being) this cuts off communication with God, the Spirit within you is grieved. Until repentance is made and fellowship is once again restored.

You post would make me doubt that you are saved at all, though im not saying that. How can the Holy Spirit be in you, and you would be unaware of His presence.

When Im in His Word, I am aware of His presence. When I do the dishes He is there, when I sin and continue to do so, the sky is like brass.

You'll just have to trust when it is said that prayer works. If your heart truly longs to know Him, keep praying, and you will feel Him. He is in all places at all times, He has always been with you and is with you as you read this.

What may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
- Romans 1:19-20

I just wanted to put that out there.

:hahaha:

I know everyone's opinion about that is different.
Let's just say,
my "bad" leans towards
substance
and the company I keep.

Ah, my dear sister, I was wondering when you might return. Nice to hear from you again.

So, please explain what substance are you referring to.

It's hard to avoid being unequally yoked with unbelievers.

Blessings

HE knows the plans HE has for us, and HE plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future’” (Jer. 29:11)

HIS will is good, pleasing and perfect (Rom. 12:2)

HIS will is that we will submit and draw near to HIM. If we do this then it’s good, and pleases HIM, as HE want us all saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth of HIS Word” (1 Tim 2:3-4)

HIS will wants us to cleanse our hands, and purify our heart.

HE wants us to be HIS disciples, in doing so we become CHRIST-centred and following HIM daily at all costs, by taking up their cross daily and follow HIM (Luke 9:23)

HIS Word will show us HIS Will.

HIS Will is our belief of HIS Promises to give us wisdom and that HE will give it to us.

HIS Will is for us to listen to the advice and wisdom of others who HE has placed across our paths. “The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice” (Prov. 12:15)

HIS will is when we please HIM.

HE will accomplish His will in our lives, when we TRUST HIM. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” (Prov. 3:5-6)

When we use HIS Gifts and abilities, we are doing HIS Will.

HIS Will is by equipping us to do what he calls us to do.

HIS Will is that we will glorify HIM by preaching HIS Gospel and doing the same things that HE did when HE was on earth.

Blessings.:)

Substances change our chemistry, so we don't think the same, or perceive our world the same. That's what they do.

A person who is depressed may not feel love for their family; PMS-ing they may sabotage relationships; on a sugar low may get in an accident; OD-ing they may jump out a window.

Substances damage brain cells, and we don't get to choose which ones. The damage may get repaired, but will never be the same. Social development arrests from the time we begin over-using substances.

http://www.ama-assn.org/ama1/pub/upload/mm/388/sci_drug_addiction.pdf


When our brains and behaviors change, we lose a sense of who we are... we don't recognize ourselves. In fact, we are different, if our brain cells have been damaged. We lose a part of who we are.

Your heavenly Father loves who you are, and doesn't want you to lose or harm our potential. You know all the other reasons for avoiding this trouble. Value your life enough to want to bring out the best in it. There are many things you can bring to this struggling world.
