GreenNnice, all in general brothers and sisters.
I understand that Satan is out there trying to get all of us. I guess you can say that all my doubts, fears, insecurities, the evil in me is part of sin and Satan and I honestly would be a lair if I would say that "yes I know how to fight them" I don't or have not found a way to defeat them (fears, insecurities, doubts and all that is wrong with me) I do pray and I read the bible and I pray again but honestly they don't go away.
Oh I know its easy the wide road is easy, being a thief is easy and honestly about the girl part, I honestly do not know how to do that.. I can barely have a good conversation with the girls I like or liked, no swag I guess lol XD but point is clear to me.
Idk and cant comprehend why would people do that.. and honestly that's one of the things that I hate the most and the hardest to forgive.. to the point that I would probably do the unforgivable to those people.. but I wont go on ..
I understand the testimony of Paul and how God choose him, one who can we call one of the biggest sinners and used him. I accept that thru learning hes faith grew.. but I hope nobody takes it wrong.. but he did have a miracle.. God talked to him.. He made Paul witness something that most of us would pray and wish about.
ahh I have to go again... il just leave you with these and hope you guys understand... and well even if doubt takes a hold of me and even if the evil and sin takes a hold of me since we all have to fight 2 powers the power of evil and sin and the power of righteousness. I will never stop believing.

OH BROTHER, I KNOW YOUR PAIN ! I FEEL YOUR PAIN !! FOR I HAVE BEEN THERE, IT IS A PERSONAL WALK FROM JESUS THAT WE MUST TRAVEL TO HIM .

I had so many people speak to me back in 1997 when I was choosing to TRULY quit backsliding and hopelessly devote my life to Christ :)

You MUST go this faith road, ULTIMATELY, alone for your choice, for we are but vessels that are here to do Jesus' work, telling you of belief.

I must say you are RIPE for the harvest, you've been respectful to girls, it sounds like you have really been living well just not living with Jesus. The JU MP is easy, brother, you didn't mention having stole either.

Let me tell you, I USED to steal and God put me into a job where I had access to vast amounts of cash and I NEVER stole even ONE CENT once I had recommitted my life to Him, that is why I knew that I was choosing Him, but the process, MY process was longer than that. IT takes time, His time, have faiith that God is workign with you, just of a mustard seed to believe in His working in you, baby step, brother, you will do it, I pray :)

All these things you've done, I've done too, mi compadres, still do, . We are in a flesh and blood body, and though I do live in the Spirit, the Enemy does still attack me. He gets to me, too. Here is a Truth: if any man says he does not sin he is a liar.


So, you just said things that are common to man, Uriel, you're no different than anyone, 'for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God ,' Romans scripture states.

Man's heart is corruptible, impure, worldly.

Proverbs 16:1-5 are good verses , some speak of man's heart .

______________
For faith signs you want to see of God really made REAL to you, Uriel, I want to encourage you to believe in Him , in Jesus' sacrifice and unreachable of all acts, Love, for mankind, His dying on that cross. For us. Uriel? for you, too. Christ's death saved all . . :)

You see, here are some verses explaining wrongful hearts of believing, these Pharasees in John 12:34-40 were wanting to believe,but GOD WOULD NOT SHOW THEM Him to believe because they ALREADY saw signs of God real and did not believe. God wants us to believe on faith, just that small mustard seed of faith is all that is needed but God needs to see it. With belief comes faith. Be patient. :)

John 12: 34-40 - . 34 The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ f will remain forever, so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”

35 Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. 36 Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.

The Jews Continue in Their Unbelief

37 Even after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:


“Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” g

39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:

40 “He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.” h

41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.

42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

44 Then Jesus cried out, “When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45 When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness .

______
Uriel, keep on asking God for more , He will show you, be found in church, be found in your bible, be wanting to sing worship songs, be realizing that all.your past wrongs are righted and a peace will overwhelm you when you are READY for deciding on Him. :)

Calah may He bless you with answers and whatever your heart seeks thank you.

GreenNnice I actually been putting thought to it. I know Im still not going to let go. Yet you know how this feels.. it feels so unreal.. like its just like letters on a paper.. I believe because I choose to believe and I pray and I worship. I just feel like its like words on a paper. I guess cuz I never once experienced the Lord, God. Idk I just feel so out of touch.. Like I feel im on a stupor right now?

God does not want to have to show you a sign, He says this in scripture. God is just. But, He will.show you a sign for sure IF you already accepted Him and fall away , like....

...me did do. :( I wish I would not have needed this sign from.God. But, I needed it.

Let me tell you a story, thanks for listening, Uriel....

I was doing well in life at age 25 , good job, car, life, footloose and fancy free, and, I was starting to go to a friend's house in February, thinking of how I was about to have a house with a white picket fence , money , wife soon, and, as I was driving I can't truly explaim what happened but it was an incredible thing. I was 50 yards from a stoplight that was green and I , driving 40 mph, for some reason, I looked to my left, for a phone booth, for a second. When I looked back at road, the stoplight was RED and there was a car stopped at the light 15 feet in front of me. I crashed, totaled my car, hurt people, no insurance, it cost me a lot . But that was my SIGN to get back on track with God.

Why?

This reason, Uriel, why: When I was talking about getting house with white picket fence and wife and stuff, I forgot to nclude in my THOUGHTS one person.

Do you know who that person was, and, it was a Person, in 3 Persons. I forgot God !

So, this brought me BACK to God, ever so slowly, as this was 1995. Three more years would pass, and, a tough working life to pay for people's injuries in car I hit (no insurance). That time grew me in God greatly, Uriel, reborning my life to Him.in 1997. :)
__________
Now, Uriel, I do not know how to relate with getting a sign that God is real for you, but I KNOW that I KNOW that I KNOW He is real for me. That car accident was no accident, God got ahold of me. :)

Uriel, keep giving your hurting to God He is our Healer :)

I want you to listen to this song, please,Uriel, I pray it speaks to you , click on this link below:

MercyMe - The Hurt & The Healer (New Song 2012) - YouTube

. God will heal your hurt, just give your life to Him, and, you will be alive in a way that you never have been before and it will FEEL amazing this knowledgable feeling you will have as you take steps to Jesus yours forevermore :)

Have a great night, adios, Uriel, for now, compadres

aww never mind that is sad :/ I know you had a good outcome.. but il say this my brother to me.. If that happen to me.. I wouldnt take it as a sing.. from God just misfortune.. and it would probably push me more instead of bringing me near.. but if it helped you then blessed be your sign and God. I dont handle pain well cuz I guess after so much.. I dont really want to suffer more.. not at least until I have something going my way.. its like this.. if I in pain come to God and am provided with more pain then how can I be boastful about God.. how can I then tell my fellow friends who are not believers of Gods love, but know of God? They would just rub it in my face saying thats your God? the one who makes you suffer more? and Ive hear it a million times from young to older people then I rather life my life doing what I want cuz im still going to suffer and go to hell, because Im doing something I enjoy, because as human we only can see past what we have infront. But Glory be to God if he made you stronger through struggle, but I dont deal well with struggle, yes yes I can be called a crybaby.. but that doesnt help.. when I need help I need help and he can only help? but he takes long so then why would you ask? but still yet I believe.. I guess I dont trust anymore making me out of touch with God.. but then would it be my fault? I just dont kow GreenNnice I just believe pray and well worship.. but well the evil in me can be more overwhelming when the spirit is non existent.

Uriel, God works individually in us all, He draws us to Him. He is drawing you now. It's ok to be yearning, I have been there too.

I want to tell you a sign of God reaching me growing up, but just can't think of any. I.grew up in a Christian home so I was with God all the time.

I pray for yku,, Uriel, sorry, my story wasn't powerful to you. It was not just powerful, that crash changed my direction in life, I guess you would have had to be in car with me . No one was but me, but it was ever-changing of my life that February 1995 day. I so.thank God too, I.was a Prodigal Son, just like that story in Bible.

Glory of God will be seen too by you, I know it, keep the Satan dude OUT, Uriel, and, focus on God's power. Satan attacks the seeker as he draws closer tO GOD, KEEP fighting for your belef and faith, keep that mustard seed bit, God can grow it if you can just believe as best you can, God knows your heart, mi compadres, you're trying, HE KNOWS :)

Ok, I went and posted elsewhere but I will talk to.you real soon, brother :)

oh ok that makes a bit more sense no dont worry about it. I guess Ive just cold or something :/ but maybe the difference it that you were raised with God. I was raised always looking for God I wont say that I would eagerly look for God when I was young (6 -10 years old) but I would always read bible stories talking about this great God and Jesus' love. Ive been in various car crashes so maybe I dont comprehend but I do understand that it can be very scary. I can honestly say that when I lost my hard earned car (a mercedez I worked so long to have it) I can say that I felt that all that hard work was for nothing. Since you mention the prodigal son you kinda give me a bit more of insight and am able to comprehend more I thank you greennnice dont worry about you not reaching me at times.. many people try and get fed up. I dont honestly expect alot but I just knwo that you guys try and with that I can say that Im content so I thank you and may God bless you alot more.

Uriel, the Lord leads , but I am here and glad you answered me earlier today and that we have talked :)
Yes, things happen to us in life and I know that my car crash made me work.harder than I.ever had before and God showed me that it was right to happen and I was motivated after crash for long time and after working for year , God blessed me so I could begin to be fed in church in 1996 and I.went all the time, Tuesday singles, Wednesday midweek service and Sunday , morning and evening services , for a year and a half I was blessed by God in that way and my financial was excellent, too. In August 1996, I even went to Nortn Carolina with church singles group for inner city missions, great times from.God, mi.compadres, Inloved helping the poor and needy in Charlotte.

God is so.good. In our lives, you learn by following Him, like Solomon speaks of in Ecclesiastes, there are 'seasons' of our life God puts us in. I hope and pray your crashing your Benz grew you as a human , Uriel, blessings, brother :)

GreenNnice that is excellent that you had that push and I think you give me to much credit, im but a believer yet I dont trust.. I believe yet I fear and see no point.. but I believe cuz thats all I have and I ask God but no answers only negative ones.. and that breaks me but what else can I do?.. I like to talk to people and hear their experiences tho sometimes they dont reach me as most people want them to reach me.. but I do like to talk and hear testimonies. God gave you that push and its awesome. Ive actually done that too spend my time in church for hours at a day. I love the book of Ecclesiastes it shows you how life is meaningless without God.. tho I know of God and never experienced Him I know that life is meaningless without him. Yes there is seasons lol this season has lasted about 10 years 11 actually this year. Crashing my benz just made me see that Im not going to work hard for things like that no more lol.. I take the bus now.. but idk I just know that I should thank you greennnice cuz your the one taking the time to help me out.

I am glad to meet you, Uriel, the Lord leads, He indeed puts divine appointments,in our lives, it is good to show you my life, I pray it,strengthens your faith, and, that is great you are spending a lot of time in church and, yes, actually, that is,awesome :) I love church, it is where I get fed as well.as learn more from Him.and fellowship and strengthen others inntheir faith along with my own :)
Ecclesiastes, yes, meaningless is a theme of that book of Bible. IWith God, life is not meaningless, good you recognize that fact from reading Ecclesiastes, you , I can tell, Uriel, have some great Bible knowledge in you , that is great, I know God wants to show you things,now, He thinks you are ready for something once your faith is not being falling in and out of and you totally, wholeheartedly see Him in your life all.the time as meaningful. Hey, meaningful, I think we already know you know life without God is meaningless, so, that is good. God knows, He sees you trying now to grow in Him.
Ok, my friend, I will stop talk for now, blessings, Uriel, brother :)

Yes ,Uriel, God will remember you , but, you never know if,, like that thief on the cross, you will get that chance to believe, like that thief did get to do and be with Jesus in paradise.'

Yes, yes, yes, only believe, don't need to build Rome in a day, Uriel, that is, everything will be night and day different for you from not believing to believing, it can be a process. The Lord leads, do things, like church, like spending time in bible with a handbook like Hailey's Bible Handbook and pray for God to show you things. Most important for you now is to believe in Jesus' dying on The cross 2000 years ago, with your heart at peace with that feeling. God saving us from death torture forevermore, which Jesus did do by The Cross, should put such a beautiful peace in you, Uriel. Let God show you things, ask in His name to be able to see more of Him, fervently , diligently, sincerely obey Him, as best you can, and, God will show up.

Have faith, Uriel, you have a quiet spirit, crying for God . Others on c.c. hear you, snackersmom, maxpower, and, others in chatroom were showing sincere care for you. That is God ! How beautiful is that :) You're asking for God and He is now showing up as God works through people . Me, of course, too, I hope and pray for wonderful things for you, choosing Him so that peace can fully fill you, like a river, in your soul. Blessings, in Christ, Ed

P.s. Wow! What a sharp-dressed man you are, Uriel . Every girl is crazy about a sharp-dressed man, but, Uriel, you're changing and your old self, slowly,is being peeled off. Wear that suit for going to church, wear it to show God your wearing your Sunday brst for Him. i want you to concentrate on Him. The Lord will bring right love from Him when right,, that, I think, for noe, will take time. Rest in Him :)
This is very dangerous what you are saying spiritually. Falling in and out of faith and from believing to not believing is not right. Yes your faith will be tested but you cannot be a true believer in Christ and fall into and out of faith or into and out of belief. When you are saved your heart is changed and you receive the new nature and are sealed with the Holy Spirit. If you are saved then your spirit should attest to the fact that you are saved. In other words when you are saved and belong to Christ you know that you are saved and belong to him.

It doesn't matter what you go through in life because you know that Christ is always with you. People are a different story but there is no doubt that Christ is with you. I've been through some really bad things in my life and I always know that Christ is with me. I may not like my circumstances and feel helpless to change them but that does not mean that Christ is not with me.

It is with your heart that you believe and are justified. It is not a mental exercise but a heart felt belief and once you are saved there is no turning back.
