i did start to quit when i was away then when i got back home i started to doubt yet again

now i am starting to climb again and have faith again
this lockdown there's a scheduled time where one needs to stay inside and one can go out that's why i am staying home for 3 days and will be back to that place again

when i was at that place i could not even think of God because of the hardship i am facing it was too hard for this weak body that only knows how to use the technology and rely on the technology the weather is too hot it was about 28-45 degree celsius so i started to just rely on myself more than on God and started to doubt if i asked God to make the wind blow will God give it to me while i am in the middle of a rice field where a lot of people praying that there should be no strong wind because the crops will lie down

i am just one will God listen to just one while i am against all of course not so i did not rely on God thinking will God give me an impossible request of course not my doubt started to grow does God really exist... and it grows even more i just ignored it sooner or later there would be something... and this something is probably this i got my little faith back

You just keep growing in the Lord, brother. And just keep trusting Him. The advice you got about fasting is also good, and you might find it helps with the heat as well. The more you fast the more your body temperature cools off. But trust me. You just keep walking with God and doing your best each day. Even Paul had to keep putting things behind him and pressing on towards the mark of the high calling of God.

God bless! And good to see you posting again!

A fast can make it easier to practice self-control. It is also an opportunity to become more reliant on the Spirit of God.

Decide on a fast that you will be able to perform safely, where you give up things of this world that indulge the flesh and give them up. It may be a partial fast, so as not to put too much burden on your body or mind.

While fasting pray for the same specific need every day; expect a clear answer but nothing specific, let God work how he wills. Read the bible, his word is food for the Spirit. It may be impossible to keep the fast totally secret, but tell only tell those who will notice and need to know to avoid worry. Set a period of time in advance, because the fast can not go on indefinitely. For long fasts set conditions under which you may temporarily break the fast, such as social gatherings you're expected to attend.

And if you should falter again do not worry; God is indomitable and you will overcome.

pray a specific over and over isnjt that vain repetition because God already knows what i want whatjs the point of insisting him it was like i am a spoiled child who is so innocent father give me this toy the next day father please give me this toy and the next day father please please give me this toy oh you of little faith why do you keep on repeating do you not know that i already know what you want to say before you even say it... vain repetition of prayer is not the meaning of do not cease in praying

oh i planned to just be a straightforward lol maybe not a good idea because it is written i actually don't want complicated things where i need to keep a secret it is too much of a burden i've been living a life of an introverted before i do not want to live that life again i just want to just say it crap maybe this is boasting so i should really not execute this stupid plan

i am one of those people than in the last days i am a boastful person probably ever since i was a child not really sure though because i can't remember it all

i do not want to live a complicated life anymore that is why i am just saying the truth or the things that i know is the truth but the hidden truth it was actually a lie and the result of this a lot of people dislike me either way when i was an introvert a lot of people dislike either way they will dislike me

before even if i hear people criticizes me infront of me lol and i am not saying anything not at all those people even asked other people which is also infront of me why am i like this why am i not saying anything

i am fed up with that life now if ever they do that i will say something straightforwardly i will just say the truth that i know the truth i will also somewhat include the hidden truth which is not clear

thing is i think i can fast in this home where i am only doing light works

those people in the ancient times are so formidable they can fast in those days without drinking and even still doing hard works well there are no light works in those days

people this days don't fast oh no to be precise a lot of christians these days do not fast without water

because according to the antichrist which is the muslims [they are one of the antichrist according to them if you look into the bible] during ramadan they fast and do not even drink anything

ThePuffyBlob · May 28, 2020

i did not retaliate because i am shy in my mind i am thinking evil things at the same time depressed at the same time just looking in to stupid things at the same time looking in to the good things i may not be able to forgive them at that time but i know because of God if i cannot forgive others how will God forgive me eventually i will have to forgive them and i already did i already forgotten but still remembered but the feeling of it the weigh of it is gone it does not mean anything anymore except the reason i want to just say it plain simple and straight even though i am still shy lol

When there is lust involved, just repent. (That is all that God asks.) God redeems adulterers who want to be redeemed. Just ask David.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9 NKJV

When there is no lust involved, just relax. No harm, no foul.

If you must boast about prayer or fasting it will be of no benefit. That's what happened back in the day, people did it to maintain their social status. Matthew 6 Its between you and God, and no one else's business.

I wouldn't consider praying once a day as being vain repetition. Any less I would be worried about having the will to maintain the fast, as it would be easy to forget why you're abstaining.

I've heard some people pray daily for increasingly long periods of time, and that it helps build a better relationship with God.

Don't fast without water. I did for five days once, but it's not healthy.

how to move on?
and
how do i change?

i act like a wise person but i am just a very stupid one that is why i have a lot of regrets since childhood so i always wanted to turn back time i want to restart now that i think about it probably a lot of person wanted the same

should i just shut up? but in reality i don't talk much anyway right now i am talking with my heart not with mouth but the thing is can i survive without talking? well i feel insanity if i do this there's no one to talk the only person who i can talk to is myself and God the father and God the son so if i talk to myself everytime i turn insane since there's a lot of ??? and God do not reply with words immediately i've got no friends since i pushed them all away because of my stupidity of planning to suicide

as long as i know a very little bit of knowledge about something i would put up my mask and bluff all the way and then ending up in a dead end where everyone's around dislikes me

i actually just doing it without realization

and sometime when i know about a thing i would bluff about this thing and add my opinion based on circumstance with matching basis of truth or lies about this world without researching further with more accurate facts

without me knowing that i am bluffing how do i change this way of mine?

this is happening all the time probably even now i also have a very little knowledge about this part of me i just come to a realization that i am indeed doing this after having a dream about something that's not related to it

im sure you are not alone in this. Its a dilema. You get a little bit of information and you form an opinion based on only half the facts. It can be difficult to know all the facts about a matter and you should not feel that you must 'appear' to know everything because the reality is that NO ONE knows everything.

It doesnt matter if you dont know something....you can just say 'i dont know'

These are good verses from Ephesians chapter 2:

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

i know what to do but i do not want to do it
i do not have the energy to do it right now
i'll just say it just abandon me and close this thread
i am tired about everything

there seems to be a thick barrier your prayers are not reaching me to the point of me thinking does God really exist? even then i am not word cursing God but cursing myself or the world and the people in it

i guess i did fall bigtime this time

ThePuffyBlob · Jun 8, 2020

righteousness of God is only for the chosen individuals

and i am not one of you guys let's just face it you guys are not me even if we are the same having a hard time i am not chosen like you

although i do not have a place for me here neither do i have a place for me there God is good...but why is God so cruel why he let me live he should've just killed me before i was even born

if he did i wouldn't be here complaining about something i can't change why he let me live and then will soon die in the eternal sea of fire just why? when he already know the future what did a child did? it does not know anything of course it will disobey God and the world does not know God how else a mere child...i can only cry with no tears coming out

Hi, @Funny bird Good to see you back on the forums; reading the Scriptures carefully and consistently can be a great blessing.

haha i am currently stucked can't get out can't even move on because this is the most important i can only turn a blind eye and breath for a moment because of that one preachings i downloaded it on yt but the channel deleted it they did not even provide an answer for the question provided during live broadcast

the answer i came up with is salvation is only for the righteous

ThePuffyBlob · Jul 13, 2020

there is nothing wrong with the preachings so why i do not understand why they deleted it ignored answering the questions they've even told the people just asked us and we provide an answer

or maybe it was included in the live butnot the recorded it's so frustrating

Salvation is only for sinners.

I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
