PRAY FOR ME... IM MAD AT GOD AND MY LIFE AND HAVE BACKSLID

I have soo many reasons im upset with God and my life, my family etc. I dont understand why he wants me to suffer. I dont understand why everything i work hard for he lets the devil take from me or i lose it. I am tired of hearing the excuse from christians that God didnt do it and its me or the devil.Especially when it clearly states in the bible that the devil can only do what God allows him to do. Im tired of hearing that im going through soo much in my life because i have a very high calling on my life or God is testing me. Im tired of watching the mean, wicked, evil and greedy people in life prosper. While nice good giving and compassionate people like ive always been are left for dead, or either struggling and used. Im tired of everytime i come close to God something horrible happens to me or in my life. I dont understand God. I dont understand how ive been raised a christian and in God and he can just watch me fall apart and be mistreated. I have a mother for a christian that maybe doesnt do sins such as sex, and chemical dependencies but is a user, liar manipulator, favoritism etc. And she goes to church, prays, ect. smh. I hate how, things get very hard and your being kicked around, hit rock bottom and lose everything, and heartbroke and looking at death and GOD expects you to not sin, avoid temptation, and have faith! Are you kidding me? Then when you fall or dont do what he expects because your only human and most likely devasted and miserable. He has you suffer the consequences for your sinful actions. smh. Im furious and i have had a relationship with God before off and on. I know he wants us to obey but how do you do that with certain things going on in your life thats overbearing? Then God says, HE WONT PUT SO MUCH ON YOU THAT YOU CANT BARE. I THINK THATS CRAPT. CAUSE JUST CAUSE YOU MAKE IT OUT OF IT DOESNT MEAN YOU COULD BARE IT, YOU MAY COME OUT ALL AGED AND BEAT UP PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY DAMAGED, ECT. I guess if your still breathing then you could bare it hugh? Please. If anyones reading this, you see i need prayer for salvation again because im clearly not saved anymore. Whats bad is that i am looking at death and i have to make peace with him before i die so i can get into the pearly gates. smh PLEASE PRAY FOR ME

Hi, Infinity: good to see you. John 15 would be relevant reading, where the Lord Jesus speaks of pruning and purging those He loves, so that they can bear more fruit to His glory. Philippians is also an Epistle where Paul speaks of those who suffer in joy.

Are you a born again Christian? because if you are, You need to know the fact written below.

God doesn't want you to suffer, He sent His Son, Jesus to die so you can have abundant life, Jn 10: 10. as well as eternal life, Jn 3: 16.
God has given us His word, [The Bible] to teach us how to overcome suffering.

Whoever told you that the devil can only do what God tells him??, The Bible certainly doesn't say that.

God has given people the authority to bind any adverse things in their lives.

We have to do the binding, Matt 16: 18--19. NOTE V 18 says the devil will not prevail against God's people. V19 says we have to bind the devil.. Eph 6: 10--17 says we have to put God's armour on. V11. We have to make a stand, V13--14.
James and Peter say we have to resist the devil.
Your problem is, You are waiting for God to deliver you, But God is waiting for you to overcome the problems.

God has already made us more than conquerors, Rom 8: 37.
Always triumphant, 2 Cor 2: 14.
And we will overcome and have the victory, [If we believe] 1 Jn 5: 3--5.

It's not prayer that you want, Its knowledge of the Bible, and knowledge of your authority in Christ.

If your not born again, You need to get born again.

Okay, you need to know that the bible states that the devil asked God cann he bother Job and his life. God said yes but he could not kill him. The devil asked God in the bible could he sigt (try) Peter and God also gave him permission. I think God does give the devil permission to mess with his people. Alot of christians call it testing our faith. And i know those scriptures, have quoted them before too. and went to church on a regular. Either im satans child or its just not working. Everytime i pray things got worse from what i recall. I used to be born again but i wouldnt consider myself that now and im pretty sure you can tell why. And why does it seem like the scriptures contridict themselves? You just quoted some that stated God doesnt want us to suffer. When if you look at the post above you from another christian member. He mentions a story where it says that God shows he loves us in suffering and wants us to suffer in joy. I even was given a scripture. Then why does other scriptures say. Just as christ suffered we shall suffer? And others that say, if they hated Christ then they shall hate his followers as well. There are also scriptures that say he will put us through suffering to refine us. SMH... PLEASE... WOULD YOU GUYS MAKE UP YOUR MIND....

And heres another question. You say Gods people are protected. Then why are there so many martyrs for christ here and in other countries? Why from the begining of time christians have been killed and tormented? And if God is soo powerful then the devil then why does the devil have a kingdom down here on earth that majority of the world is following and love. why is our country supporting it and kicked God out. You cant even send a christmas card to veterans saying merry CHRISTMAS or GOD BLESS. smh.. why wont God show himself?

If God should so choose, isn't a wonderful promise such as in John 3.16 worth dying for?

The believer surely needs the grace of God day by day, whether to eat, sleep and drink, or (in a few cases) to be martyred.

Thats what makes being a christian a pure nightmare. If you tell people the suffering part and martyr part of following God when you give them a track or witness to them im willing to bet a million dollars that they wont want to be a part of the christians. Especially knowing you will suffer too. SMH. God cares more about eternal life rather than life on earth. Maybe some people want to be happy here too. SMH. Who wants to suffer the pain of death and losing loved ones or missing out on life with them?

So are you really saying that it's right for the Lord Jesus, in His great love, grace and mercy, to have died for sinners...

...but then it's wrong if some saved sinners suffer persecution and even sometimes death for the sake of the Lord Who loved them and gave Himself for them?

I think we need to keep a Biblical focus.

hey infinity love to pray for you any way, God never lets something happen without purpose. even we never understand what we have now, or even we are really suffer, sad or angry but God sees us n He cares about us. we need much faith n asks Him to give you peace, faith n strength tobe strong. God is love, and He never let you alone. If He dont love you and ppl in this world He wont send His only Son Jesus Christ to this world. God even willing to come to this world and suffer to save us. He suffer even He never make sins n ppl hates him, even all His diciples ran and left Him alone and the worst thyey killed Him in that cross. But Jesus never angry or hate us, right??
Before we suffer Jesus also suffer more than we hv now. so please, dont let the devil deceive you n be the winner with Jesus Christ amen. God bless you

Why should we carry any burdens if Jesus died for them? The burden of poverty, the burden of death or pain of it? The burden of struggle? Why should we? I thought Jesus said. Come to me all heavy burdened. I thought he said he's close to the broken hearted. I thought he said I come that you may have life and that more abundantly. He said your ladder end will be greater than you beginning. Or was he referring to ETERNAL LIFE ONLY? Again I think the scriptures contradict themselves.

We do need to keep a Biblical perspective, if we want to express opinions about what the Bible actually teaches.

The wonderful, sure promise of eternal life through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is hardly the same as a supposed guaranty of life as a bed of roses. He wants those who follow Him to be His witnesses.

Okay, I know Jesus suffered more than us, so that means we should suffer alot maybe not as much but alot because he did? I dont understand that concept. And you say Jesus never hates us or angry with us...smh... Then why does it say in the bible that God had gotten angry at men several times, even to the point of having them killed. He even flooded the earth and blew up a whole city Sadum and Gamorrah. Ive even had christians tell me that God curses you and punishes you. And that even after repentance, you still have to suffer the consequences of your actions? If thats the case then where is the forgiveness? Where is the carrying of our sins? And why wont he stop some of this evil in the world? Why just watch it unfold and let people run around like heathens mocking him and killing his people and God knows what? I always was told love is an action. I thought love doesnt want to see you suffer or die, its patient and kind. Im sorry i just dont agree. I need prayer, cause thats all that can save me now.

The Lord Jesus suffering at the Cross so that sinners could be saved is totally different from those who are saved suffering as a witness for Him. It's good to concentrate on Gospel promises: John 3.16, Romans 8.38-39, etc.

And to be honest, if God is omnipetent God, omni present, ECT then why does he need witnesses? He can do whatever he wants? He's God if he wanted the world to know about him and what he did, to be honest he really wouldnt need us. He spoke through a donkey in the bible. In the biblical days he helped moses psrt the red sea, he spoke throught the sky, he opened up the ground, hell, he even changed a whole multitude of peoples languages so that they couldnt communicate with each other when they were trying to reach him with the tower of babal. If God really wanted the world to know about him he could do any of those following things or anything else. I think that would have a better affect anyways, dont you?

BUT HE WONT DO IT...THE QUESTION IS WHY?

Such an important point. Jesus says that in the end we will all be persecuted, and that many will turn away because they we not prepared for it. And no they don't put that part in the sales brochure.

Infinity, I know that knowing others are suffering just as well doesn't make your swim thru the cesspool any better. But I get where you're coming from. Written that same letter myself, more than once. The problem is that God's not in charge. He gave that to Adam and Adam gave that to satan. Jesus has reclaimed it in the heavenlies, but in the here and now we're still under the old management. The day you accepted Christ you painted a big bull's-eye over your heart. And my experience is , you can tell how powerful one might be in the kingdom of God by how hard hell works to hold them under. So to the extent that hell beats on you, that's how much faith God has in you. The question is, who are you going to strike back at? I think you're swinging in the wrong direction right now.



Others just call it a b!tch But yeah, the devil prowls like a lion, seeking to devour. He's the one you need to be angry with, he's the one who's making you b!tch at God. He laughs at you every time you do. Just think of that the next time you start to lash out at Him.

So why does God allow this? Well, once again, He's not in charge. He's not the ruler of this world. BUT - He has made a way for us to appropriate His authority in the heavens into the world around us. We do that thru the gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit. By healing and wisdom and discernment. By longsuffering. By faith that doesn't turn away when we get what we were warned we were going to get. And by understanding just who the real oppressor is. And understanding what tools and weapons we have against them. I don't doubt God has a way for me to beat every sin that comes my way. The question is, am I going to take hold of the things He gives me to beat them?

Father God, Infinity34 has had it - just like I and so many others have just had it. Your ways are foreign to this world, and not welcome, and as we try to live in Your way we find ourselves scorned and not welcome in this world as well. We find we don't want to be here, but we can't leave of our own accord. Or at least we're not supposed to. Help us Lord, bear us up, and teach us in those things You give us to fight the enemy. Open our eyes to see who the enemy truly is. And send angels to occupy them, to do battle for us against them. Lord God bless Infinity34, gift him with wisdom and discernment, and I pray that as he has held on to his faith even in his anger, You will bless him even more. All warriors need shore leave, Lord. May Infinity34 be given a break from the fight. In Jesus' Name, amen.

...because He said so in Acts 1.8, and this should be enough; indeed, it's a privilege.

We need to keep a Biblical focus.

I hear what you are saying, God is not the ruler of the world, the devil is. But what I dont understand is, regardless if hes not the ruler of the world or not. Cant God do all things? He can stop anything. He's suppose to be stronger than satan and defeated him at cavary. You say we should be mad at the devil. Well why does God let that thing run around here with us so long? Why wont he destroy him already? Hasnt he done enough? Why is he waiting soo long? And why if the God gave us power over the devil that christians are still being murdered and mistreated? I seriously doubt that they didnt know how to manifest the heavenly realms. Use the armor of God and bind satan. I used to be a holy ghost filled woman and i know how spiritual warfare works and the power of the holy spirit and God. And let me tell you. You are right its a constant batlle with satan roaring around. You have to stay in God, the word, fast and surrounded with people of God. But what about when the attack of the devil gets so bad that those gaurds come down and you feel at your worst and fall into temptation of sin for relief because your weak? Thats what happened to me. And the more you follow God or try the worst the attacks get. I think that its wrong for God to punish you for this happening and its even more wrong to allow the devil to mess with your life to the point of losing everything. I dont want that hassle anymore.

And i have another question? Why wouldnt God not know what Adam was going to do with Satan? I mean it says in the bible that God knows all things. It says he knew us in our mothers womb and the hairs on our heads are numbered. That means he even knows our death. Heck, he even predicts the future for Satan and his fallen angels. He even predicts the Antichrist and the end of the world. Why him being all so knowing wouldnt he not know what Adam was going to do? That proves that God knows things before they happen...question is why would he stage it anyways?

Last thing i want to say before i leave is, God is suppose to show himself in the end to the Antichrist and the world And come back for his bride. If The devil is the ruler of this world, why would God be able to do that then but not now, or speak through the sky or any of the other things he used to do? Honestly im mad he has us down here with that thing. He knew the future before it happend. Adam and Eve just did what was expected of them in my opinion.
