I am a christian but right now my life is so bad -i know that i could not be a witness to anyone-any advice?

Answer 1

You just did witness to anyone who reads your question, whether they know it or not, or whether they answer it or not. Every human being is a sinner, with a life that at one time or another was "so bad". Only Christians can realize that to be true, and confess it. Bingo!! You're on the right track. Throttle up, young lady!! You're doing just fine and Christ is alive and well in you!! God Bless you!!

Answer 2

You might think this next sentence is weird, but here goes; Lucky You!! Do you know how many Christians have been raised in church and in a Christian family that never have had any issues to deal with? What I mean is that you have been a real person faced with dilemmas and choices and options. You have made some bad choices and now you know that you have drifted from that comfortable place near Jesus. Lucky you, you will have this experience for the rest of your life to minister to other people that have drifted too. You will be able to be a testimony to them from your first hand experience. Life gives you choices and most of us don't always pick the right choice, and your experience will help bring a wandering soul back to the fold. First you need to speak openly to God and repent. It's not unusual, most of us have drifted from time to time. Some of us have done awful things that are too awful to mention. I am one of those people. However, the good news is that God forgives and forgets your sin after you have been forgiven. The next step for you is to start helping others that are where you are now. Use your experiences to show the world that forgiveness is possible and you have the map that gets you to forgiveness. Yes, you will be a witness, Lucky you!!!! Good Luck

Answer 3

I TOTALLY understand where you are coming from! Let me tell you what I know from experience...you CANT be a witness to anyone without going through something- that includes making choices that are not-so good. Why? because although Christ who is perfect lives in you, you are STILL human and your flesh is not yet made perfect. The Word says we are perfecting in christ, which is a VERB not an adjective- indicating a process not a magical occurrance. We all have sinned and come short of His glory, but you have the power of the HOly spirit as a christian because Christ lives inside of you. you have to make the choice to listen... I am also learning that the ONLY way to come against the enemy who is messing with your life is to READ AND SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD! Then the Holy Spirit with guide you and make your human spirit stronger and you can come out of this mess and share with other people the victory you have over sin! "Put on the whole armour of God" and you will be blessed. You will be fine- repent, rejoice, and live.

Answer 4

Being a Christian, you know you can always repent for your sins. Remember, don't keep making bad choices when you know right from wrong. Continue to pray and always keep your faith in the Lord. He is forever watching over you and knows your every hope, dream, and desire in life. I don't know what you are going through, but you changing your life for the better is a true testimony and you can be a witness for someone going through a tough time in their life as well. Stay strong and push on. God loves you no matter what life brings you!

Answer 5

We all have those times when our life is so bad, or we have even failed so much that we think we cannot be a witness. But you got alot of good advice, prayer is the key. God can help you through bad times and bring you out shining like gold, and able to be a better witness. If it is because you have failed, ask his forgiveness, and those around you and go on. It just proves you are human--hey! every hear that song--"He's still working on me, to make me what I ought to be!" Dont give up!!

Answer 6

Stop thinking of yourself as bad. This is not true. Religion makes good people feel bad about themselves for no reason.

All religion is man made it all makes the same claim that it comes from God. This claim is partially true but people can never stand to leave Gods word alone. This is because god’s word is consistent and does not mesh well with their personal preconceptions and bigoted ideas. So they make little changes here and there injecting their thoughts into the mix tainting the word with nonsense. For this reason you should not put much faith in these ideas about god that come from others. If God wants to tell you something He is perfectly capable of telling you directly.

Maybe you should stop reading what other people say about God and ask him to tell you what he wants you to do directly. Stop reading; clear you mind and listen. When you pray get you’re talking over as soon as possible and listen. He is trying to talk to you but your mind is full of nonsense from the bible and other sources. Don’t be surprised if what you hear does not sound much like what you have been told about God. You will be hearing Gods message minus the nonsense.

In your bible study have you ever heard of the small still voice? You can't hear it if your mind is otherwise occupied with other people’s silly ideas about God. Just try it you will be surprised

Answer 7

Sister, everybody goes through things. Storms and beautiful days. What God is preparing you for is a testimony. Keep the faith sweetie. God is good and he never fails! Faith is the substance of what is hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Keep believing that God will bring you out and keep telling people how good he is. You have to trust and believe before you can truly witness. Use this time to pray. You will be suprised, by sharing what you are going through with another brother or sister, they may have words for you. On the other hand you be encouraging someone that is worse off than you are...Anyway it goes, you will be blessed. You just have to believe. I will pray for you!

Answer 8

There is a book that I have been teaching in our Sunday School class called Drawing near by John Bevere. It is a very good book. It is based on James 4:8 Come near to God and he will come near to you.
Then I would evaluate a couple things. First is the circumstance you are in are they self made or are they from outside circumstances. If they are self-made situations---(these are examples) such as doing drugs, financial problems or relationship issues, then you need to examine those problems and see what you can do to change them. IF they are outside circumstances like, your spouce left you, you lost your job and are in financial ruin, then call on the name of the Lord and ask him to change the situation for your Good. You profess you are a Christian, so you know that you are joint-heirs with Christ and you have benefits (psalms 103). If you are not a regular church attender, then look for a awesome house of worship and let your fellow belivers know what you are going through, so they can lift you up and help you through this trial. Remember, God is not through with you yet, you are going through this fire so that you will come out as pure Gold. Psalms 3:3.

Answer 9

No matter what you are going through you can be a witness. Prayer, Read the Bible, Just be yourself. Christ is with you no matter what you are going through. Your alive, right, or at least I hope so.

Prov 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
NIV

Answer 10

Well didn't you become a Christian because you realized you could never clean yourself up enough to earn God's acceptance? So you admitted you were a dirty rotten sinner who needed the salvation that Jesus offers.

Ten minutes after you accepted Jesus or ten years after, you are still a Christian who is a dirty rotten sinner saved by God's grace.

Don't wait until your life is perfect (it never will be), just tell others that God will even save someone as bad as you.

Because you never know, the person you are talking to might think of themselves as way worse than you.

One of the things that allows God to work in our lives is identifying ourselves with Him. God will do the rest.

Speak up for Jesus!!!!!!
