I was a really strong christian before and now I have no faith at all. A prophet in my school dreamed that I died spiritually. I set four conditions, Lord if it is your will to save me let a,b,c,d happen and I wrote down the probability of each event happening. All of these conditions have been fulfilled.

Nothing to recover.. change is always good. And we create faiths by considering all our preferences and priorities in front of us.

Faith is a crazy thing. For a while I had no true faith. I was lost just the same way a person who loses their faith is lost. For a long time I thought nothing of it, but over the course of time you realize how important having God in your life is. Because even when your having the worst days, knowing that God is your savior and creator makes everything seem meaningless.
The way I "Found" my faith was switching churches and reading the bible (new testament) more.
I used to be Catholic, but never truly believed. I truly began to "find" God again when I started going to a non-denominational Contemporary church.
Many people disagree with these churches because they feel as though they are altering God's word, but this is not the case. Contemporary churches simply change with time so as to incorporate the changing environments.
Seek one out...my church, true north community church has a website you can check out.
The pastor puts up his weekly messages, he's a funny guy but really has a gift for sharing God's word and giving great examples and putting the word into real life applications.
Check it out, take the time to really look into your life.
P.S. - Check out some contemporary christian music... It's a small start but trust me, changing something small like the music you listen to, can drastically change your beliefs if your a non believer.

Someone said you died spiritually.I hope I`m understanding you right.And they told you that you set four conditions telling God that these were the conditions if he wanted you to be saved?You say that all have been full filled.So I`m guessing even though they have been full filled you still feel lost?You put conditions on God.You can`t do that.If you want to be saved then you come to him,if you have any faith whats so ever and you seem to want that closeness back then you put faith in action,it takes very little,God knows the heart and he will give you that closeness again.The word says ,seek and you will find.Knock and the door will be opened,come unto me you that are heavy laden and I will give you rest,for my yolk is easy and my burden light.Good luck,and God Bless.

Just take a minute and read the following verses:
John 3:15 - 20. Romans 3:20 - 25.
Make sure that u r born again. If u r not then get saved.
" Today is the day of salvation" ( that's scripture, I'm just not sure where in the Bible it is.
If u r saved then ask God to show you a few promises that you can claim 4 ur life and see them come true.
Read your Bible every day and pray every day.
God Bless!!!

I lost my faith too and I just got it back... what I did was I tried to pray hard and read the bible more and talked to people that I know could help. It doesn't have to be a priest or something of their sort... just talk to an ordinary person, maybe a friend, who has a strong faith and could share it to you... God Bless you!

Recovering faith is the last thing you should try to do.... faith is against all reason and logic. Stay in that zone of honesty and you won't have to ever worry about being faithful again...
But if you truly wish to become faithful to fantasy again... It's easy. Just tell yourself a heap of lies and then tell yourself you have to always act as if you believe them... hook line and sinker. That's all there is to it - become an accomplished faker and a liar and you'll be a recovered faithful believer once again, e.g., a fool.

Devote time to God in prayer everyday (7 days a week) at roughly the same time. Keep your appointment with Him. At least 20 minutes. (building up to 1 hour) Even if you can't think of anything to say to Him. Sit there or kneel or pace, whatever, but don't go to sleep. Devote yourself to this time of communion with God and you will (eventually) regain the faith.

your experience shows just how easy it is, in this world we live in, rulled invisibly by satan, to loose faith, it is because that is what satan is working towards, to make people loose faith.(2Corinthians4:4) This is why the Bible explains to us on how to keep our faith strong, it is by puting on the armor from God, this is also how you get the faith back, the verses below explain what this armor is(Ephesians6:11-19)New International Version
11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

you haven't lost your faith at all if you had, you wouldn't be in here fighting for it trying to convince Christians their faith is in vain is just a cheap trick of the deceiver the solution is easy resist the devil and he will flee from you James 4:7 "flee from you" not just back off or go pick on someone else he will flee as in run away from God bless you .

The stronger your faith, bigger temptation you will face that would include your faith.
If you have no faith at all now, good congratulation SATAN has won / succeed in seperating you from God.
Come back to God if you like, He is open hearted. Unlike people.
Probabilty is uncertain ......... i thought you know that.
