not saying God can't, He created the universe so doing anything else is pie for Him. But for future references, breaking stuff is not wise and don't be expecting God to restore it, though He has the power to.

This might sound stupid - but its something thats been holding back my faith for months.

My faith was pretty strong until about October last year, then I started having doubts. My faith got weaker and weaker until a few weeks ago.

In October, I went through a period of intense anger - I got so angry one day that I punched my computer and destroyed it. Only some of the files were recovered. But what I lost was of the most importance. I lost about 9 months worth of notes I had made while studying the bible intensely. About 20 whole pages worth of valuable information was destroyed. I really spent hours and hours each day understanding every passage of every chapter of many books of the bible, and writing down what I learnt, and it helped my faith so much.

But now its all gone. I know this sounds silly because it was my fault, but why would God allow that to happen? I know there are consequences for my actions, but God is in control. How could allowing so much valuable material to be destroyed to me or my faith any good?

This needs to be resolved before my faith can increase again. I just don't understand why this happened.

You did not lose the notes, they are not written in your computer but upon your heart. Just pray and trust in God and He will bring back to remembrance all you need to know to live a godly life. Don't trust in YOUR words or notes but the LAW of God written in your heart. Trust in God and the Holy Spirit to guide you. Read you Bible and pray. those are the two offensive weapons God has given us.

Rest firm with your shield of Faith intake and your helmet of salvation on your head Harness your thoughts and actions to the obedience of Christ Jesus.

Dear Lord lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory Forever and ever. Amen.

wolfy God listens even to those requests and works in His time and ways. It breaks my heart too to witness all the suffering the world puts itself through and subjugates others through greed and corruption. That is why we pray and spread love as much as God allows us to by helping those around us and giving comfort and aid to those we can. You are still in my prayers and I hope Jesus touches your heart and brings you into a right relationship with Him.

May God bless all His children. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
 
Hi Sharp, Let see I can think of a story or actually a whole book in the bible that is the same that is the book of Job. God call Job blameless and up right, and one who feared God and shunned evil. Then the devil said to God let me test him to see if he truly love you. Well I would go back and read the whole story but God allowed Job to lose everything (kind of like you). But in the end God restored Job twice as much as before. Hope this will build you up brother. God Bless

Sorry, that was harsh.

But your two posts were useless and offensive.

hey dont apologise im not going to bcause in all honesty i really dont see how this was "the end of the world for you" its just data, i work doing 3d models and that goes wrong all the time and i have lost lots of work but its not the end of the world i can make it again and thats all you go to do that information is still in your head just dig it out and while your rewritteing ul proberly improve it and next time save it on a back up lots can go wrong on a computer besides breaking it urself.
 
Dear Brother Luke, many have been asked to give up so much more to test their faith. Don't worry about your feelings, salvation isn't a feeling, it's a fact. Stay faithful and joy will return.

Keep talking with your Father, He will return all you have lost and things much greater than these. Have faith Brother, He will not abandon you. Only you can abandon Him!

I pray dear Lord, fill Brother Luke with faith overwhelming, peace, tranquility and joy, lead him back to you, in Jesus name, Amen.

Love in Jesus
brother Gary

Cool mate I agree it is a minor issue compared to other issues, no-one is dying or starving here.

This is more of a philosophical/doctrinal issue, as to why God would allow something to happen which would harm the knowledge/learning of a believer. I'm trying to figure out why God did not protect me from myself. I know it was my fault.
 
Your faith is not dependent on the notes you took on your computer. It's devastating to lose that much valuable information. It's happened to me before. But this is what God has revealed to me. Just because you don't have a written record does not mean that you have unlearned anything. It also doesn't mean that God can still teach you those lessons. Be encouraged that you have not lost those lessons. God is still working them out in you.

Sharp, simply because faith does not rest in what one uses, but in the heart and soul.
I found some good answers to this in ,sirach 15:11 -20.
It helped me in understanding ones actions and God's free will. :)

God bless.

maybe ur trying to prove to urself God is really fair and good? . u may have lost all ur notes that u got by studying, being diligent but His love we cannot earn , it's already urs in Christ!!!! nothing can separate us from His love in Jesus , this makes all the difference , this security , our love for Him may be up one day and down the next but His love for us in Christ is steady , is fixed .
