Who made Ravi Sir turn around to give an altar call? If it was not the Holy Spirit - that tremendous conversion of Buddhist wud never have happened. Our outward shell is all humus - dirty mud n all of us are flawed there's no exception in this regard. God uses whoever loves Him despite all our shortcomings n bodily inabilities - we all must concede herein now.
I was angry at god because I had a heart attack I’m 27 years old I don’t do drugs I work out and run allot I eat healthy for the most part and Ever since then I live in a fear and anxiety to do anything but I realize that I can die at any time and any way my life is not in my hands I don’t want to die now because I have 3 small kid and I would want to see them grow but I know that my life and everything ese is in gods hands and I should not live in fear an anger even tho I may struggle on a daily. Praises be to GOD almighty we are at his mercy and he is truly in control of our lives
I am definitely like the prophets. I believe in Being Angry as long as we don't sin. My problem is definiing what it means to sin in your anger. For example I yell at God sometimes...is that a sin...I am crying out to him??? I really really really hate it when a pastor is counseling me and suggests that being angry is a sin. It is NOT a sin to be angry.
It is sinful to be angry AT God...theres a difference...remember God is Holy and Righteous and we should speak to Him always with the respect and reverence He deserves
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Book of James Can I ask you something..do you have issues with men telling you things? Blessings to you
@ Tallartist I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this. Those two replies have fallen terribly short of the truth. They've suggested fragments, but not the whole thing. So, here is my understanding: It's okay to be angry at God. David was. And he was called a man after God's own heart. In regards to whether it is a sin, the category is irrelevant. Why? Because Jesus died on the cross to forgive all our sins, past, present, and future. So whether it is a sin or not does not change God's love and unconditional acceptance of us. You will find that when you let your anger out against God, He will meet your anger not with wrath, but with grace and love. And you will also find that you can hear Him better when you've let your anger out. He always speaks softly, never raising His voice. Here is my personal advice: When you're angry at God, let Him know it. He already knows anyway, and you will find He can heal you faster after you've raged against Him. He wants a relationship with us, which includes all of our emotions (anger included). Don't let the idea of "sinful anger" stop you from hashing it out with Him. His grace is greater than our sins, and He's already forgiven us. So, for the sake of your relationship with Him, it is far better to let it out than to keep it in or pretend it doesn't exist. I find that allowing yourself to feel and voice your anger against God actually serves to deepen your relationship with Him, not hinder it. In fact, the quickest way to kill a person's faith is to tell them there are some emotions they aren't allowed to feel towards God. May He fill you with His grace, love, peace, and wisdom, sister.
Kevvo Lightswift this reply was very thoughtful. Thank you and please pray for me. A lot of people wronged me this year severely and I am trying to unpack it
tallartist I’m glad you found my comment helpful; I will pray for you, sister. Processing through pain is very hard. I know. I’ve had to do it, too. “And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” Ephesians 3:18-19 NLT I will pray the Lord will reveal His love and peace to you in a new way, that resonates with your heart.
My attitude is that why am I obligated to praise, worship and be obedient to a God that refuses to help me no matter how much effort I put into living in a manner that is pleasing to him? Especially when at the same time God is more than happy to bless the most godless, wicked and arrogant among us? Why should I continue to put myself out for such a cruel and unfair God?
Great topic!. Question: Anyone know how to contact Dr. Scott. I like her wisdom in this subject. I could not find her on the web. Maybe I am mis-spelling her name? Anyone?
Growing up I had a stepmother who treated me like I was a burden to her and she went out of her way to be mean and to the emasculate me. and I can remember being a good-hearted kid. Then in my teenage years I committed a crime someone died and I went to prison with the adults age 15. So once again I was in a situation where I was treated like a dog less than human. Even now there people in my life who walk over me do not see the goodness in me but only what they feel like I'm obligated to them. I'm not very attractive not very intelligent there's nothing about me that is appealing. Even now I struggle with homosexuality and one of the biggest struggles or whatever you want to call it as a result of homosexuality is jealousy bitterness and envy because if you're not beautiful in the gay world you're not worth nothing. so I cried to God many times please take it from me but he never answered I cannot honestly say that I have ever felt God's presence in my life sure there are times when I'm inspired by reading scriptures and prayer and I have a feeling like I'm high on God but it lasts only a few hours usually less. It seems like the circumstances of my past and my struggles in the future are more powerful than the restorative power a god that is preached about. I'm at a place where I give up trying to trust in a God who seems so far away and deaf to my cries. The Bible says that many are called few are chosen and I think that there was a time I may have been call but I did not meet the requirements so now I am left to deal with this sense of emptiness like a dry desert. I've even tried other religions even the occult which is even more spiritually dead. even now I will try to pray and turn to God but there's a force that is blocking that connection. It's like radio silence. I don't know it just takes so much energy to try to live a life that is pleasing to God. You never know if you really saved or not because nothing changed he still struggle with all the same sins and you still give in to all the same sins and vices in the Holiness that you desire long for is never fulfilled only in may be an outward appearance of holiness.
Luke Snyder that is very sad. I don’t really know what to say. I believe God understands your pain. My prayer is that you find people that can love you and support you.Take care mate.
At the time that I said this I was in a depressed state but on re-readibg it I know it is not true. I've learned that when I truly seek God he draws near. When I give into lusts or anger and bitterness and I stop seeking God my spiritual life quickly weakens. And when The mind and heart begins to stray from God and does not quickly repent and hold firm to the faith The new creation that God is so willing to make within me is not realized. Not because God is not able to but because I have drawn away from God. When you begin to once again give into your sinful desires the spirit of God quickly withdraws. My Lord and my God, have mercy on me a sinner and redeemed me from the spiritual death that is sure to come if I do not completely give my heart to you and your Messiah.
🙌🙌🙌 Praise God for the 90year old Buddhist woman who gave her heart to the Lord Jesus!

@Luke Snyder, I can totally relate to this feeling.
Even tho it seems hopless I genuinely wish you’ll find your way out.
At the time that I said this I was in a depressed state but on re-readibg it I know it is not true. I've learned that when I truly seek God he draws near.
