WE NEED TO ASK JESUS Christ to give us HIS SPIRIT and keep asking until SOMETHING HAPPENS!
NOBODY IS RIGHTEOUS NOT ONE! Romans 3:10..... Romans 10:3 warns - Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
HERE is the deal, GOD wants to make YOU.. one with CHRIST..literally... to put YOUR SPIRIT into CHRISTS and to make you ONE with GOD .. hence, HEAVEN is within you and LIVING WATER will flow from within. BUT...
YOU MUST HATE THE WORLD AND ALL THAT IS IN IT AS JESUS SAID:
ASK, READ, REPENT and only seek heaven and do not love the world of anything in it, I promise you all.. that this is what the TRUE message of the Gospel IS because IF YOU JUST OPEN your eyes and heart and take these Scriptures for what they are and BOLDLY ASK GOD for heaven within you now, the Living Water, AND KEEP READING, fasting and pushing hard reading Matthew to Revelations and suffering like JESUS did with fasting and not sinning at ALL.. GOD will do IT!

THIS IS THE REAL TRUTH OF CHRIST HE HAS SHOWN ME HIMSELF, I COME in the NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST RAISED THE 3rd day by the FATHER who sends the HOLY SPIRIT to those who TRULY REPENT AND ASK AND SEEK AND KEEP SEEKING BOLDLY UNTIL THEY FIND... AND ONLY THOSE WHO SEEK BOLDLY as JESUS SAID in the parable with the man asking for BREAD that was turned away BUT got the bread HE wanted due to HIS BOLD PERSISTENCE!

• Hebrews 12:14 - "Without holiness no one will see the Lord."
• 2 Peter 2:2 - "Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute."
• Ephesians 2:14 - For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
• Romans 8:9 -- "You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ."

• John 4: 23 -- "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
• Hebrews 12:8 "If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons."
• John 8:34 - Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
• Hebrews 10:26 - If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

We need to remember that anyone of us will experience this. There's so many causes that I'm not going to list them. Know this that our life is like a great chain with links and with each link that one goes through the chain has become stronger. Because these days are like no other it is alittle harder for this generation to build that chain but you can do it.
God is a fire. look at the scriptures with the word fire
That his word is a fire..start seeing how God refines our lives in the fire. Crossing the Red Sea they saw this fire.
He will show you his protective fire:
Zechariah 2:5; "For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her."
This is a great prayer and I hope one prays this for themselves each day.

Man, I'm depressed just after reading all the condemnation in here..................................poor guy! People in here so convinced they got all the right answers and know how to straighten you out, well why isn't YOUR FAITH helping them then? If you have such great faith then all you have to do is speak the word be healed and then it will happen. But no, you put the blame back on the one suffering already a burden that you yourself won't even bother to help them carry. You bring more condemnation on them. Maggie if you have this awesome inspiring faith they say to this person be healed. It is really that simple isn't it? If you can't do it, then please for God's sake, shut up!

THIS WILL TAKE AWAY ALL DEPRESSION FOREVER...DEPRESSION IS GODS WAY OF CALLING HIS KIDS HOME!
Matthew 11:12 "From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it."
FATHER!!!!!! PLEASE!!! LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT HEAVEN WITHIN NOW FATHER IN JESUS NAME!!!! I AM SICK OF THIS EARTH!!!! HELP!!!!! SCREAM THIS ALONE SOMEWHERE TO THE SKY!!!! I SAY!
Well... here is what I mean. MOST Christians say they are Christians, they have accepted Jesus but have not done what He said, follow me.
Jesus went into the world and hung out even where sinners hung out, to try to win over sinners.
Now, its not what you do... its more about what you haven't done yet.
Jesus wanted HIS followers to FIRST:
Cut off the world totally and fully for a short period of time ... MOST have never done this.
HE went to the desert for 40 days, not saying you have to do that, but you and me, we can sure:
MAKE our life a desert for forty days. WHAT is a desert like?
No friends, no TV, no music, nothing but silence and GOD for a while.
Now... When I first came to Christ, I figured, let me make my life a desert minus the fasting... I had to work so I needed energy.
BUT. I pulled the plug on my computer, TV, RADIO ... and I was either at work OR.
I WAS HOME reading my BIBLE or going on walks with GOD.. PERIOD. Phone calls I kept under a minute as well and ONLY if someone called me, I did not CALL out at ALL... made my life a desert for 40 days and read the entire New Testament in that time asking for what?
JUST three things:
1. God, please give me the SPIRIT of Jesus Christ within me, a new nature beaciuse this one is broken and prone to want sin, I am a sin loving wanting needing machine.
2. GOD please give me the Living Water within me as it says in John -- Living Water will burst out from the belly within you! I want this God, whatever this is in Jesus name!
3. GOD.. I want to go to heaven ... now, I want heaven now either take me there now and take me out of this world OR.. GIVE me heaven within me, whatever that means God, LET me wake up feeling heaven one way or another because IT IS SAID THAT JESUS came back to undo the works of the devil RIGHT GOD? AND IT SAYS that Jesus said "IT IS FINISHED!" on the cross RIGHT GOD? AND THE FIRST WORK the devil did is to remove EDEN from us humans, right GOD? SO.. technically from what it says YOU GOD CAN GIVE ME Eden now? You can be MY GOD AS YOU WERE TO ADAM, open, revealed and give me a NON FALLEN nature, right GOD? THAT'S WHAT I WANT GOD and THAT is why I am reading this GOSPEL! TO GET THESE!
Amen in JESUS NAME.
NOW I asked this each day and set apart 40 days to read all the gospel, which was 200 pages I decided to read X number of pages for that much time to get WHAT I ASKED FOR... and ONLY WHAT I ASKED FOR!
HEAVEN is taken BY FORCE as it says in Matthew.
HAVE YOU FORCED GOD TO GIVE IT TO YOU YET?

Is it a sin to be depressed?
I used to be going through depression, I've been out of it for a few years now but those feelings of depression have been creeping back ever so slowly in my life. I haven't found any Biblical reference to depression so I was just wondering if you guys knew anything about it.
