Words of knowledge

[Allison.]

I’m going through a lot and I feel so lost right now. Is there anyone with this gift of works of knowledge who can pray for me?

 

[Carl Emerson]

I can be inspired this way but it must be His will - If I have something to say I will let you know.

 

[Allison.]

Thank you very much. I’ve been in the deep deputation for a long time and I feel dead inside like I can’t relate to God anymore, and I just want to come back to him. I keep asking him to put in me what’s missing so I can get back to walking with him because I’m this state it feels impossible. But God hasn’t granted me this. What should I do? What should I pray?

 

[Dustoff]

Sometimes in the Christian life you just have to hunker down, endure and hold fast your faith in Jesus. That happened to Job. He couldn't understand why all these things happened to him. Then to add insult to injury, his friends came and told him it was all his fault. The one thing he did do was endure anyway. Something the Lord later rewarded.

My suggestion would be to find some good worship music on youtube or wherever and just sit and let your emotions rise with it. Spend some time there.

I'll spend some time praying for you.

 

[Allison.]

I do that every day, trying stir my soul. It brings me to tears because I’m so sad that all I have inside is this awful emptiness. I used to be filled with love for God and others, I had so much love to give. I just keep asking for restoration but it doesn’t come. I must be keeping myself like this somehow but idk how.

Grateful thanks. I have kidney disease and am trusting God for continued healing.

There’s a tv show called The 700 club and they pray everyday and receive words of knowledge on healing. I have experienced it myself actually. This week from Monday to Friday they’re having a week of prayer where they live stream a prayer session of about 30 minutes on YouTube at 12 noon eastern time. Here’s the link if you’re interested

 

[Dustoff]

I was praying for you. You'll get through this.

Ps. 43/5 . . . hope in God for you shall yet praise him . . .

Praying for you. I have no knowledge to give you, and I cannot discuss or debate because this is a Pentecostal forum. God bless

Can I suggest Psalm 42...

42 As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul pants for You, God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;
When shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
4 I remember these things and pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go over with the multitude and walk them to the house of God,
With a voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude celebrating a festival.

5 Why are you in despair, my soul?
And why are you restless within me?
Wait for God, for I will again praise Him
For the help of His presence, my God.
6 My soul is in despair within me;
Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan
And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me.
8 The Lord will send His goodness in the daytime;
And His song will be with me in the night,
A prayer to the God of my life.

9 I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries taunt me,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
11 Why are you in despair, my soul?
And why are you restless within me?
Wait for God, for I will again praise Him
For the help of His presence, my God.

I quote this for two reasons.

I am guessing you have desired deep from God and the journey there is always through crisis.

Eventually His faithfulness will prevail in your heart His water is there in the rock but you cant see it - presently.

Deep calls to deep - and you will carry the Truth of His faithfulness - presently.

I have been through the valley more than most and can now say that I am blessed more than I could ask or think.

Who you are is much more important than your condition.

If this rings bells I can suggest a few things that will hasten your journey out of the valley.

Hello Dear Allison! Welcome to Christian Forums, anything I wish to offer keeps me held to the same response, that is, I'm afraid you speak for many of us and could be you have just now found place where God begins to work with an established 'heart of flesh'.

Establish her mightily Lord!

This is exactly the time you need to take your eyes off yourself entirely. I say this because I've been where you are more than once, and I'm convinced satan uses this device to keep us focused on our own "inadequacies". This keeps us sitting on the bench and off the battlefield. Pray for your friends would be my advice.

Job 42:10
And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

 

[Carl Emerson]

Another point worth considering...

I do that every day, trying stir my soul

You talked of stirring up your soul and failing...

Can I suggest there is a better way.

If you trust in the Lord He will give you the desires of your heart...

So the better approach is to ask Him for what you know you don't have (which is what He wants you to have)

This requires brutal honesty.

What can you no longer feel in your heart?

Is there an absence of love for God?

Does He want you to love Him ?

Then confess your lack of Love and ask for Him to birth it in your heart.

The reason why this request will be answered is in the following verse.

"If we ask anything according to His will He hears us - and if we know that He hears us we know that He answers the request that we ask"

So first identify His will. Then ask for it. Remind Him of the verse in quotes above.

He wants you to have Love for Him - so ask for it.

Remember you are His child - offer to Him your empty heart for a fresh filling of His Love.

Don't stress - don't try to make it happen - the real oil comes from Him.

I’d like to hear them, I’m starting to feel completely hopeless

 

[quietbloke]

Keep trusting. God is Faithful!

Praying for you today Alison!

The solution isn’t always in prayer, music and Christian television, @Allison. Gods given many living means to help us through inner turmoil, with that in mind, consider talk therapy.

Not words on a screen but rather living human interaction. Find a professional or trusted confidante and start sharing these thoughts and feelings aloud.

In spite of all that, you seem to be in everyone’s prayers

 

[Carl Emerson]

I’d like to hear them, I’m starting to feel completely hopeless

OK - Some fundamentals first.

Are you in loving fellowship?
