God gave you life and desires you to have a life more abundant through Him. It is not possible any other way. How could it be? He is the author and giver of life. Jesus holds the keys to life. He is the light and life of mankind. In Him we live and move and have our being. What is really going on?
God's a giant hater when it comes to me and my life! He heals other people but not me!

If I decided to stop following Jesus would he throw me in hell when I die?
****I don't know what will happen in the far future for sure, but I'm pretty sure it would mess up your life in the near future---I'm been following the Lord for 40 years and seen people leave Christ and their lives get destroyed-----many come back, but they have suffered so much...

Why did he die for me? I didn't ask to be born!!
He died for you that you might live. If you don't like life now, it probably has a whole lot to do with the fact that we live in a sinful fallen world and the hearts of men are filled with all kinds of evil. That is why our hope is in the world to come, where we are promised no more sorrow or suffering or sin or death, and why we say, "Come, Lord Jesus." It is like we are all just worms crawling around in the dirt of this world, waiting for the promise to be fulfilled of becoming a butterfly.

If you have a need,you are normal. We all need something from God. Healing is the children's bread. Settle your spirit down. Tell it "be quiet".
Now,from that position,read his word.

See what those that received healing did to properly petition God for an answer.

It is not up to you to tell God how He should have shaped or fashioned you, or for you to dictate to Him how He is to allow you to function in this world. He has a plan for your life that you are fighting against. It will only make your pain worse and of longer duration to fight His plan.

Why exactly do I live my own life then? If God wants things his way, why doesn't he just possess me and control me 24/7?

Who are you trying to serve? You cannot make nonbelievers happy with watered
down versions of God. They are seeking the Truth, and that is embodied in Jesus
Christ alone. There is no other Name under heaven by which we might be saved.
I want to serve God but he pisses me off.

So are the saved going to the new Earth? Or the new heaven? I don't understand. Are we gonna be separated from God again because he's gonna be in his new heaven and we're on the new earth?
The saved pass from death to life in the new earth, following the resurrection and judgement. There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. We are resurrected to new life in Him, through His resurrection; the mortal puts on the immortal- through Him. We will not be separated from God at all. God comes to dwell with us. We will not even need a sun to light our world. He is the Light and Life of men, after all :)

Revelation chapters 21-22 gives us a detailed picture of the new heavens and the new earth. After the events of the end times, the current heavens and earth will be done away with and replaced by the new heavens and new earth. The eternal dwelling place of believers will be the new earth. The new earth is the “heaven” on which we will spend eternity. It is the new earth where the New Jerusalem, the heavenly city, will be located. It is on the new earth that the pearly gates and streets of gold will be.

Heaven—the new earth—is a physical place where we will dwell with glorified physical bodies (
1 Corinthians 15:35-58). The concept that heaven is “in the clouds” is unbiblical. The concept that we will be “spirits floating around in heaven” is also unbiblical. The heaven that believers will experience will be a new and perfect planet on which we will dwell. The new earth will be free from sin, evil, sickness, suffering, and death. It will likely be similar to our current earth, or perhaps even a re-creation of our current earth, but without the curse of sin.

He desires you to live according to His principles, and that you choose to do so by aligning your will with His, through surrender to Him, and acknowledgement of His eternal superiority, sovereignty, supremacy, goodness, omniscience, grace, mercy, loving kindness, justice etc etc. He does not want puppets.

I wanna go there :) .. But I don't want to talk to God there. I'll avoid him and hang out with others.

LOL,you remind me of me.

But you can not hold on to that. We surrender. We surrender to him,he catches us,and restores us. He,God,is a fixer. We need him to fix us.

That's like saying you want to come to my party but you don't like me, and you don't want to acknowledge that it is my party at my house with my invited guests... wanting what only God can offer without acknowledging God for it is a tactic of atheists who rail against death and hell, saying how unfair it is that God will not give them more life when they refuse to acknowledge Him as the giver of life in the first place. Do you know that fear of death is named as the cause of all sin? All sin has also been forgiven at the cross, except that of unbelief. They are in such a pickle. The natural man will not accept the things of God, for the things of God are spiritual, and spiritually discerned.
