Are there still encouraging people out there?

Question

I am feeling like many people are being very judgemental of me right now because I have extreme faith and not unafraid to say it. I'm not judging them, exactly, but I feel like I'm the only one out here that still trusts God and you know what, I just got an extreme feeling that God is with me and I am listening to David Crowder Band song "Wholly Yours" and I just had to stop because my feelings of unworthiness was too great and I just had to sing and lift my voice to God, as horrible as my voice may be. Just want to know if there is ANYONE out there that shares my feelings. If you can't be encouraging, please don't answer.

Thank-you all soooooooo MUCH, #48 Fan- When I read your answer, and the part, "When your faith is lacking, you can borrow mine." I cried. and I still am, tears are running down my cheeks and my mascara is running, and so is my nose. I wish every one you that answered my question could get the points for Best Answer and when the time comes, it is going to be VERY DIFFICULT to choose. And I wish you could e-mail/IM me, but I am afraid of non-encouraging e-mails to come to me sooooo... But thank-you sooo much, you have NO IDEA HOW MUCH YOUR ANSWERS HAVE BLESSED ME. God is SOOOOOO AWESOME!! Can I get a n Amen sister? THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I am crying at how awesome you all are. And it only goes to show you that the strongest Christians can have "rough spells". I promise I really am a strong Christian, but I want to share with all you somethng, hang on.

Okay, sorry I ran out of room above. I posted this question and exited out f the Yahoo Browser. But my inbox was still running and when I got new messages it came up. Well, as you know I was having a weak moment and I needed to spend time with my God. So I was just sittng here and it kept beeping and distracting me from my purpose at the moment.And I was distracted, so I TRIED to sign back in and get rid of the issue. Well, it wouldn't work my computer wouldn't load it. I was like okay God, fine You are going to come first and I gave up and I prayed God, please take this distraction from me, and it stopped. And in my short 5-10 minutes I was with THE Creator of THE WORLD, I was in the palm of His hand and he broke me down and built me up....If you've ever heard the song "Sweetly Broken" by Jeremy Riddle, it was like that... And when I came back after a few minutes in with God I can't even describe to you the peace I'm feeling now. Hang on a sec...

I am feeling a peace feeling that can only be felt when God you are in God's hands, and at night you know what I do, I think of the story "The Prodigal Son" and I think I CANNOT WAIT for the day when I get to RUN INTO THE ARMS OF MY GOD AND He is going to pick me up and hold me tightly and stroke my hair and kiss me and say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant" and.. I'm crying again. I just imagine the rest I'm going to get and I can't wait until that happens to me and for any non-christians reading this, many of you believe with all your being that God does not exist and I am here to tell you HE DOES and someday I'm going to get to flee and rst in His arms and I want SOOOO BADLY for you to be able to do that too. But if you don't accept Jesus now, it isn't going to happen. For God says, we are not even guaranteed tomorrow... So please if you are not a Christian and for some crazy reason find yourself still reading this please, pray the prayer below...

Jesus Christ, Lord of all Creation, I love you SO MUCH and I want You to come into my life and be with me and save me. I believe that you died a horrible death for MY sins and you would have done it even if I was the only one. God I love YOU. You are my everything. Save me, come into my life now and sae me, make me new, clean and perfect in your eyes. I believe that you can and I trust that you will and all I have to do is ask. In Jesus Christ's perfect and Holy Name, Amen. If you just prayed that PLEASE email me at [e-mail]. And remember it isn't the words that you say, it is the feeling in the heart. If you truly believed with everything you are that God can do as you just proclaimed, Congratulations, you are my brother/sister in Christ and I can't wait for the day that we get to meet in heaven... Peace be to all of you that read this whole thing and God bless you.

Answer 1

God is important to you, as he should be and as he is to my husband and I. He is so real and the feeling that overwhelms you is nothing to think badly of. We aren't worthy of His love, yet he still is there for us and gives us his love every minute of every day. Just listen to Bebo Norman's song Borrow Mine. When your hope is lacking, you can borrow mine. There are a lot of people out there that love Jesus as much as you and I. It's scary and real to realize how many people are lost. By telling others, you are giving them the opportunity to be found (for the first or for the 50th time). KEEP TALKING! KEEP INSPIRING! KEEP DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! God is with you every second, every minute, every time you breathe. He gives us that breath, the air, the life we have and we are forever in debt to Him.

Answer 2

I do. Just keep on believing. Those others are just stumbling blocks.
I am remembered of a time on a Holy Spirit and Fire retreat my pastor and youth group and I went on. During the trip, we did this thing called an Emmaus walk (two men (or women) walk and talk about how they're doing spiritually and such. On the actual walk Jesus was with Emmaus and his friend), so we talked as if Jesus were there. Anyway, on the walk I thought of something that was actually true. When we strayed from the path, we were actually straying away from what we were actually supposed to be doing, which means we were straying away from God's path. Don't stray away. Keep listening to your favorite worship music, to Him. Keep chasing Him. Get more radical. Closer, deeper, farther, higher. Let's BOTH go there.

Answer 3

Yes, there is. But I am encouraged when I get opposition, because I know that is what my Lord said would happened. The servant is not greater than the Master - Jesus went through more than what you would ever go through. Elijah thought the same, when he was running from one woman, Jezebel. He thought that he was the only prophet left, until God had to revealed to him that He had 7000 men in reserved. So my friend be encouraged, you are only one of the millions who are bearing the brunt, when you are called by the name of Christ.

Love, be bless.

Answer 4

I am a Christian and faithful member of the Church of Christ in Coalmont Pa.
God tells us in James4:7,8 that if we resist the devil he will flee from us. and if we draw near to God he will draw near to us.
Faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
In Matthew 7:21 it says that NOT EVERYONE THAT SAITH UNTO ME LORD, LORD SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.

We have to believe and OBEY to go to heaven. Belief only will not save us.
Hebrews 11:1 11:6 Faith is necessary. But how do we get FAITH? Romans 10:17 tells us So then Faith cometh by Hearing and hearing by the word of God.

email me ( see profile) We who are striving to live for God all need encouragement.

Christian friend in Pa.

Answer 5

I'm a Youth Sunday School Teacher. There should be more people like you. That's what God wants from us. I too share the same joy of the Lord as you do. I like your screen name, Jesus freak, I'm one too. Hey watch this movie and be blessed. God Bless You. www.mayyoubeblessedmovie.com I'm wishing you all the best life has to offer, Jesus. Kina

Answer 6

I can empathize with your feelings of loneliness, but you should never feel unworthy. Remember that Jesus is with you always. He died on the cross, because He believed that you were worth the ultimate sacrifice. Sharing your gift with others will draw those who are saved and who want to be saved with you. Keep doing what you are doing. God has a purpose for you, and He will be "with you always, even unto the end of the earth."

Answer 7

You can't have too much faith in God. There are so many of us out there, I wish I could be more like you. I try..and claim to have so much faith..but then when bad things happen..I don't trust as strongly as I should. But I try. You should be proud of yourself that you can feel and express so passionately. I'm sure God is pleased. I'm sure he uses you to further his cause.

Answer 8

They are out there, but unfortunately it seems there's very few of them. You are worthy in God's eyes, despite how you say your voice sounds. Keep hanging on to your faith and never be afraid to live it and show it even though some people don't want to see it.

Answer 9

When I read this, your question and all, I just really felt God's presence. I know this sounds weird, but I didnt really know ppl cared THAT much, GOD IS OUR EVERYTHING! He treats us like gold, even though we treat Him like crap. I know I'm not helping you out much, but this question of yours helped ME out so much! I was really struggling, And now I just wanta give all those burdens to God, and He WILL take them, and releave me of them. All of us struggle some time. God didnt promise a comfy ride. We need to stand for what we believe in, even if we stand alone.
Here are some quotes/scripture that might help: 'In God I trust, I will NOT be afraid. What can man do to me?" ~Ps. 56:11.
"But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you. For my power is made perfect in weakness.' 'Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on me. Thats why for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." ~ 2 Corinth. 12: 9 - 10.
"So if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you dont fall. No temptation has seized you except what is common to man." ~ 1 Corinth. 10: 12 - 13.
Quote: "When it is time to breathe a prayer of thanks, dont hold your breath."
Hope you feel encouraged. This really helped me too. Feel free 2 email me if you need to talk. Good luck!
P.S.
I just thought Id add, your really lucky to be such a bold person. I'm not that bold. I unfortunatly dont share my faith like I should. I like the quote: "True courage is when you feel fear, but do it anyways."

Answer 10

Hi we all feel unworthy or at least I do but I know that people are prayiung for me and that helps me alot. And when I feel this which is alot I pray and thank God for all he has done for me and ask him to help and guide me. We do serve a great and kind and loving God and he wants to help us if we will only ask and believe and listem to him.
