I've tried to be positive and think more about others but I can't do what's right. I need more motivation and a clear direction to go in. God just isn't answering. I know He isn't answering because I keep disobeying Him. The problem is if I obey God, I have to do it completely or not at all. I don't know what completely is exactly.

I kind of got myself into a mess that I don't know how to deal with. Whichever way I go I'll end up with even more isolated and sad with a pricked conscience. Is it worse to lie to people or hate people? I don't know I feel so alone and I can't even talk to God.

Every single time I decide I'm going to do what's right completely I get a heavy sad feeling and lose all of my motivation because I don't know what's right. I keep having these nightmares where people are telling me people are going to die, I feel sad and start apologizing to God and begging him to forgive me, I end up hurting people, I see these demon possessed children and I turn into them, people take me to rooms where I literally start suffocating.

The nightmares, my hate and sins, and every single thing just keeps getting worse. Idk I'm getting paranoid. One morning I woke up and there were these two water stains in the shape of feet at the end of my bed and the glass of water that I had in the corner of the room was in the hallway. I go outside at night or sit by an open window when it's freezing and just beg God to listen to me. I try to hurt myself and make myself miserable so God will listen and change things in my life but even that doesn't work.

Please ask God to listen, help me, and change things because I can't.
 
I'm going to PM you, if that's ok. But know that God does listen, and He does care about you, an awful lot. Hurting yourself won't make Him listen or love you any more than He does now. Praying for you, sis... hang in there.
 
The first thing you said calls for this hopeful, faithful, joyful reminder. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. I'm not sure what situation you could be in where your only two choices are to lie or hate. You might have to explain that one. Talking to God is a privilege! God is overflowing with Grace for His saints. If you love God, then you are His saint and He will accept you know matter what situation you've put yourself in. You must trust that Psalms 103:12 is true when it says: as far as the east is from the west, so far does God remove our transgressions from us." You are always His perfect angel princess. 1 Peter 2:9 "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." You say "Every single time I decide I'm going to do what's right completely I get a heavy sad feeling and lose all of my motivation because I don't know what's right." Sounds like your second guessing what you trust is right, which is a bad thing. It's best to avoid that and stick with what the Holy Bible says is true and noble and pure.

2 Corinthians 12:9 Gives the opposite perspective of the world. Jesus said to Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." It was in God's intention for Paul to have weakness and frailty so that Jesus may look better in comparison. So there's a good end to having weakness even to the point where Christians are to boast in their weaknesses so as to lift up Jesus' perfection and holy glory as God's Chosen King of Kings.

Also the Holy Bible teaches that joy is godly. Making yourself miserable is NOT what God wants for you. Galations 5:23-24 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."

Also, if you having repeated dreams like that and experiencing paranoia, than you probably need to go find a Holy Bible believing pastor to pray for you as you probably have a demon bugging you.

1 John 5:14-15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of him.John 9:31 says: "We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will." So instead of moping, get on your feet and be proactive for God doing His commandments as you are given opportunity.
 
Sis, I agree with Brandon and I would also add on. You are carrying so many burdens and worries, your sins have been taken away and not only have you been forgiven but every chain connecting you to it has been broken Romans 8:2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
Jesus said come unto me all who are heavy burdened and I will give you rest. You don't have to suffer all this you can always give it up to God and ask Him to have His way. God bless
 
Well said brandon!
Selenah, do you not know that Jesus does the work in you! :)
Do not let defeat steal your joy, stop worrying about what you should be doing, and let Jesus bring His work in you.
Just love and paise Him.
I continue to pray for you everyday in Jesus.

Hugs and God bless

One thing that is true...we have to crucify our flesh. The enemy can use the truth to scare us. If you live for Christ the truth is...
you will now live in spirit and in truth. When I was younger I had a few dreams that I was going to die.
My mentor told me these verses, and they took away my confusion.


Galations 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

galation 5:24
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Romans 8:13
For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

2 Cor 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Selenah, satan is a lier and he will hit you at every turn if you let him. He knows where you're weakest part is and that's where he's going to attack you. As long as he can keep you out of the present of God he knows he winning. God loves you dearly. He dosent want you to hurt yourself just to get his attenion. We are all sinners saved by his grace through Jesus Christ and satan will always try to get that sin nature to rise. When he dose just turn it over to Jesus and trust him with all your heart. As long as you have him in your heart satan can't touch you. You hang in there and God Bless you.
 
You're just thinking too much in my opinion. Go join a club or some kind. Like a sport you enjoy doing with other people. Or find a hobby to keep you busy. Don't waste your life dwelling on weird and waked out situations that you feel you have little to no control over. And when you pray, just say the words that you want sincerely, and from the heart. Don't get all stressed about what will happen when you pray, or what to say. Just do it and be sincere when you do. That's it. Life will turn itself around for you don't worry. Just don't dwell so much on these ongoing issues. Find something to do to keep busy with. Dear lord help this person gain self control amen.
 
Yeah maybe I am thinking too much. People have told me before that I need to join a club or get a hobby lol. Idk I really am in a situation that doesn't seem to have a good way out though. I really need God to work it out.
