I know some people who seem to be very positive and moved by the spirit of truth one day, and then the next day, they don't seem to care about anything and they're depressed. Is this normal for christians to have a bad bay every once and awhile?

Christians believe in one thing. God. Like everyone one else Christians arent perfect. They have there ups and downs. Some days they are very strong with God and the next min. They just dont want to care anymore. Christians that deal with up and down relationships with God. Dont really know were they belong. They are still trying to find themselve. So they fall. Maybe it has to do with their family got in a fight. or they broke up with someone. or Their friends are just not their friends anymore.
There is so much in life that were we only think about are own problems and we forget the one thing that means everything. God. what most people dont think about is that. When your family is fighting. God is the one you can talk to when you have no one else. When you broke up with your boyfriend or girlfriend. God will be there to help you through it. And when your friends just arent friends with you anymore. God will never leave you no matter what. He will always be your friend. Through the good and the bad.
Plus. The devil doesnt want you to have a relationship with God. He hates that more then anything. So he will do anything in his power to make you forget that his there.
It doesnt mean were bad christians or were not going to Heaven. No. Just means no one is perfect and we all have are mess ups here and there. but God Will always be there to pick up right back up.
To go to heaven is not being the person you are. the only way you are going to heaven is through him. ( GOD ) and nothing else

Dear Bill B.,
I just answered a question which was similar to yours. In it I said that the men who hijacked the planes and drove them into the World Trade Center dressed as pilots and had the knowledge of how to fly the jet. Yet they did not have the care and concern for the passengers that a usual pilot has. In addition, we have read the stories of men with an M.D. license who raped and sexually molested their patients under anesthesia. Just because a person says he is a christian or fellowships with christians does not make him a christian--remember Judas Iscariot? Take a look at Matthew 7:21-23.

It is perfectly normal to have bad days. But to be up and down like a rollercoaster, not so good, especially if they do this on a regualr basis. Maybe they never were moved by the spirit in the first place. Who knows. A person's personal relationship with God is that person's personal business. You should focus more on your relationship with God, then others.

Yes, When Christians are in the "milk baby" stage of development they know nothing but the immediate and if they are not constantly in a state of euphoria their faith wanes. The cure is maturing the people through bible study and growth oriented preaching.
As mature Christians we need to do the compasionate tough love bit; listen intently, express sympathy and press them to crawl forward.

i concept in a known God my total formative years. and in view that i dont comprehend what God feels like, yet have had various visions of spirits and desires of faces, im no longer certain if i have not considered teh face of God. i did see a guy that had a beard so long and so old, im no longer certain if he became older than the airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dirt itself. yet i became no longer presented both, so, i will not comprehend for certain. God isn't an invention of mankind. all mythologies are options of men, to be sure. the gospel of jesus christ is the desirable preserved reality that we've, inspite of if the imaginations of christians have undermined who and what God is.

It sounds like they do not have a good relationship with God. We need to pray without ceasing and always explore the word. We like to praise God when everything goes right, but tend to blame him when things are not.

Because the minute something bad happens they just asume that God walked out on them. They never stop to think that maybe it was something they did to cause a single problem in their life.

People just get discouraged when something doesn't go the way they think it would, and they fail to put everything in His hands. There is nothing anyone can do about anything unless He allows it.

Because they are not filled with The Holy Spirit

We should not ignore the presence of the Satan. He creates that kind of problem in every believer. So don't blames Christians. Blame that BAD ONE.
