(cronnie36;48704)
It's actually a matter of giving up on life in general. I've seen the wickedness in my delights as well as my burdens and wish no more. I seek contentment, I am poor and have forsaken people as well as material sickness in the name of Jesus. I wish I could help many and could treat all men like royalty for a day but it's not about my works thank God. But if it is, just teaching His Word is storing me up a treasure in Heaven. Are you spiritual minded? God wishes us to worship as a spirit and I can tell you that God is omnipotent and your heart is wide open to Him every second of every day. He desires a heart that seeks to know Him, but first we must humble ourselves by stepping out of the carnal realm. Every man has a direct line to God through Jesus Christ but you must believe it because faith is a requirement, and because the Bible tells us it's so. Why would anyone dispute the Word of God? Not only did God create us He hears every prayer made in the name of His son Jesus Christ. I suggest you read Psalms and Proverbs to know who the Lord is and what He is and just what He wants from us.That's where I started but it's not the same in every case. What is the same is it's the Holy Spirit that we must pray for in order to get understanding. God bless you.
I've pretty much have the same mindset as you do. I wish I could just go minister in some foreign country, and just leave all of my troubles and worries to God. But it's a matter of what God wants me to do. Unlike some of the people in these forums, I believe in the gift of tongues. And that through prayer in tongues, the Holy Spirit fixes our bodies and gets us ready for things through edification (things like healing, prophecy, resurrection, etc.).
