So this is my question!!!!!!!!?

Question

As you can see my name is lost in darkness.
I know that god is there, as I once had an awesome relationship with him, but after same horrible things happened to me in my church(The head deacon told kids to stay away from me. All though I was living my life for Christ. Now this hurt me very much, but I pushed passed it, then a little whille later I heard others in the church talking about me saying that I'll NEVER change) So here I am a new man and not wanting to see ANYONE else to get hurt like I did.
This is the Question.
Why does god allow satin to try his best to hurt and tear us down to nothing but an empty hurtfull shell of a human being?
If he REALLY is ALL knowing then he would know that satin is causing pain on us could get us to walk away from him? And he then could step in and get it so he/satin does NOT turn us.!
And PLEASE don't tell that it is our CHOICE to turn or not, Because a child that is about to touch a hot stove WE as parents would step in and stop them from

doing this. So why then can't god do the same??
And don't tell me that god gave us the ability to figue out right from wrong, or that we would learn from our mistakes! If you killed yourself as a mistake what then did you learn? You can't go back and correct it can you???
There is more that I want to post but I have to go right now.
I'll post the rest later!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Your not lost in the dark, they are.

The only way to defeat Satan, is CALL on the NAME of the LORD. Always.

I had a dream of a huge tornado forming and trying to touch down, I was led to raise my hand to it and claim "There is power in the blood of JESUS",and then in JESUS NAME, and then I commanded it to "peace be still". I watched it separate.

Yesterday we had a huge red spot of a "severe thunder storm coming right at us, I was afraid some, but the dream came to my memory and I claimed it, the storm went orange, I then said The LORD'S prayer and the storm as I was still praying looked as if it snapped in two and went yellow then to green.
-----------------------
Trust in the LORD with all your heart mind and soul,if you have asked HIM to remove out of you what is not of HIM, then trust HIM to put into you what is. Read the book of Job.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went through much pain, and I have been kicked out of a church, but GOD stays close to me. I can now SEE where HE was in all my pains in life. HE will teach you how to deal with these kind of people. SPIRIT filled Christians would not treat you this way. I have learned many things through all the things that could have caused me to turn from GOD, by Calling on HIM, HE brings me closer to HIM.

Answer 2

Sometimes it is by our suffering that we know how desperately we need the Lord and we need His Word. That deacon did you wrong, but that deacon is not the Lord. God didn't do you wrong. God has always been there for you. Whenever you start to touch that hot stove, the Lord will step in. He says that He will never put on us more than we can stand. He tells us to love ourselves, because He loves us. He tells us to put Him first, others second and ourselves last.
We can't be full of self-hatred and profess to love the Lord. God said that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Don't worry about what other people think of you. Worry only about what God thinks of you. As long as you please God, you don't need to worry about anyone else. You need to tell the head deacon that he falsely accused you. You need to tell those others that gossiped about you in the church that they are wrong also. And God hates a gossip. God will hold these people accountable for every false thing they said about you. Go back to church, hold your head up high and talk to the pastor. It is possible that the pastor could be a minister of Satan. God tells us that "judgment will begin in the house of God." That means the church is full of unbelievers. Pray for the church and pray for the people who have spitefully used you. God will revenge. We don't need to.

Don't let a church and a few people make you "lost in darkness." Surrender your life to Christ and walk in the light of the Lord. Ask the Lord for a good church or another brother to associate with who will cover your back. We receive not, because we don't ask. Put all your burdens upon the Lord and He will give you rest. People don't touch God's elect without paying for it. Be strong in the Lord and He will see you through.

Answer 3

He also didn't stop Adam and Eve from starting a downward spiral for all mankind. He never stopped the nation of Israel when they chose to worship false idols or when they were led astray through fellowship with ungodly nations. Why? he gives us all free will.

He tells us to draw close to Him and then He will draw close to us--that means that WE have to make the first step, now that He has extended the invitation. When we choose the wrong path, we sometimes have to deal with the consequences. That is not God's fault--it's ours. We often reap what we ourselves have sown.

As far as Him allowing Satan to work his designs on humans, the story of Job is a good account that shows some reasons why he allows it--and NO ONE I have ever known has gone through the trials of Job.

Jesus said that Satan was a murderer since he began. Revelation describes him with a Greek name that means "destroyer". From the Garden of Eden til now, he has had one mission to destroy mankind. We certainly look forward to the time when he will be destroyed forever, so that he can no longer mislead the nations.

Sometimes, temptation can also come as a way of teaching us something that we need to learn. For instance, if we ask for patience, we can't expect to become a patient person overnight. It is a learned virtue. Therefore, the answer often comes in the form of a test that teaches us patience as we endure it.

Answer 4

Following your rationale when you have a child you'll never EVER not for an instant take your eyes of him. Having a child means not sleeping no life no nothing (sic) because you have to be there whenever anything happens to him.
Growing as a person is being able to FORGIVE. Being able to see the worst in people and still be willing to say a prayer for them. I feel for you and I hope things work out but I do not think God had anything to do with it. Try Mathew 5:46.

Answer 5

The light is within you, not within the church. Search for inner peace within yourself, accept and love yourself first, and then work on the rest of the world. Once you have come to accept yourself as better than what those people said you are, and realize that their oppinion has no bearing on who you actually are and can be as a person, then you will no longer seek their acceptance. At that point, you can find your own relationship with what ever form of god you choose, be it the Judaic version, Hindu, Hawaiian, Aboriginy, or even no god. But first, you must love yourself enough to know these people can NOT tear you down unless you allow them to.

Answer 6

I use to be a Deacon in the church, I don't know what you did for the head Deacon to say that to those kids, he will answer to that. He should have called you in for a conference, if he thought you were in the wrong. Don't let one incident, bring you down, that is just what Satan wants, fight back, resist him, and he will flee from you, and in the end, you will be stronger.
It could be God's plan to make you stronger. He could have plans for you. Hang in there, <>

Answer 7

Lost, I'm soooo sorry for the horrible experiences you had at church. It doesn't sound like it was a church of God. Anyway, fast forward ahead. Please give God another chance. He has never left you. satan (I will Never capitalize that name) HATES when we come to know Jesus as our Lord and he WILL attack us. We have to hang onto our faith, but even when we feel that we can't hang on longer, God is hanging onto us. He won't let us go.

God's love for us in unchanging. He wants us to come to Him to praise Him, to ask for help, to just talk to Him, cause He is our Father. Please just talk to Him and pour your heart out to Him. He will hear you, you know that. We've not endured anything that His Son didn't endure while here on earth. Let God pour His love and blessings upon you and tell satan to get lost cause he will NEVER have a hold that's stronger than God's. I hope this helps.

Answer 8

No! The Lord allows satan to tempt us because He (God) wants us to run to Him. He wants us to learn and grow in Him through hurtful experiences. If everything in our lives just stayed "good" we would never grow, we would stay as we are, mediocre Christians who are content to be so. God wants us as much like Him and as close to Him as possible. He wants us to experience His Grace and Mercy!! God is always there- it is us that forsake Him and walk away.

God sends hard times to teach us, to help us appreciate the good times and to make us see how weak we are and how much we desperately need Him.
He doesn't want us to be empty- He wants us to be empty of ourselves and full of Him- His love, grace, mercy, and peace.

Answer 9

Have you read the book "When Bad Things Happen To Good People?" If not, then I would read it. It explains that bad and good things happen to both believers and nonbelievers and basically. I am sorry that you are hurting and have been through a lot in your church, but there is hope. Please don't give up.

Answer 10

I am praying for you my friend. Remember this, the devil can only do what God allows Him. I suggest that you read the book of Job. He allows bad things to happen to us to test our faith, and to refine us to the point that we are purer than gold. Just remember in all things God loves you and would not allow anything more to happen to you then what you can bear. Do not let these incidents change your love of God. May God bless you my friend

In Jesus Name.
