This is a quesiton for all christians. I was born again just over 2 years ago, and now at the moment?

Question

I am having sinning issues. I abuse people who say nasty things to me, I swear sometimes, Judge, backstab others that have hurt me. I need mature answers. And I need your prayers so I can repent. becasue at the moment I am unmotivated. When the rapture happens will I be left becasue of these sins? I know I need to stop these things, but it is very difucult. God the Father can only take so much until his wrath will pour out. I don't go to church as I feel the sermons are boring, and I do not get anything out of the service. I leave feeling the same way I walk in. So I do not go. I do not bible bash. I have learnt that people should make thier own decissions about their salvation. It is by choice that people come to Jesus. But putting that aside I need your prayers to help me to repent of those sins I have mentioned and mean it. Unless I repent I feel God will damn me. It is so hard being a christian. I have not been tithing as much as I used to, as I cannot affort to. Please Help

I love him more htan anything. I am born again but just have some issues at the moment. So stop comdeming you know nothting about,

Answer 1

No such thing as "born again", "sin" and "rapture".

Prayer is virtually useless.

You need therapy and psychiatric help, not religion.

^ All above are serious.

Answer 2

When you gave your life to Jesus, you weren't zapped into spiritual maturity...you became a "babe in Christ." Question: who is Jesus?

I ask the question because you don't appear to be a disciple as you "don't go to church" or study the Bible. So how much do you know about Jesus that you believe He did or would save you from your sins?

Some people mumble some words and get wet in the name of Jesus but don't give themselves to Him as their Lord. You can make your own decision about your salvation because you are the only one who can know what happened in your heart. Everyone else, including the person that baptized you, bears witness to your testimony that you said occurred. However, all I can do is witness how far peace seems to be from you.

If you want my help, I would suggest you read the one book that is living and active. It is a book that examines you while you examine it. It is sharper than any two edged sword so treat it with the respect it deserves.

I would suggest you start with Luke because he tells you that that he gives and orderly account...what order? It isn't chronological. But he tells you that he has given you everything you can have certainty of everything you are taught because he uses eyewitness accounts.

I would read it 5 to 30 times before going to another book. Why? So you will know with certainty that which you are taught. You would also know that book better than most believers.

I would suggest outlining it. What are the main ideas? How is it sub-divided? What are the individual lessons? Why did he with the paragraphs in that order?

When you can talk confidently connecting the dots between the themes and to the lessons to the words, you will hear the voice of God.

You don't need to hear from us as much as you need to hear from Him. Studying His word is the best way to do just this.

Hope this helps

If you read one book a quarter

Listen, alot of things can go on in a Child of GOD's Life.

satan is always condemning you over AnyThing (False Guilt) and then satan gets you to Thinking GOD is going to Let you Have it (False too) and so on.

Keep on Keeping On.
When you Sin, Quickly Repent and Confess it.
READ your Bible Every Day.
PRAY Every Day.
GO to Spirit Filled Meetings so GOD can help you.

Buy some Teaching CD's on Spiritual Warfare.
Kenneth Copeland, Fort Worth, Texas is Real Good Teacher.
The "Authority of the Believer" real good.

These Things happen to alot of Children of GOD as they Grow in the Lord.
Takes Time to Learn
Takes Time to Fight
Takes Time to Grow

Never Give Up (give out, Rest, then FIGHT)

You will not be left behind in the Rapture.
Yes, it can be Hard Growing Up, devils 24-7.

BUT, SO IS GOD!!!
And, GOD is Extremely (on the Scale of Infinitely More PowerFull) MORE PowerFull than satan.
Don't let satan put one over on ya---FIGHT!!!!!!

Answer 4

I can relate to your dilemmas as it clearly reminds of me of the first 4 years of my Christian walk. First, as a believer, you are called to "renew your mind" in the word. That is why you struggle with habitual sin! You brought your existing thinking patterns into your Christian walk (as we all do). That's what the word "repent" means in the original Greek - to experience moral conviction about your behavior (which you obviously do) but then to reverse your thinking (which you do by meditating on verses that uplift and encourage you). A word from God will cut your chains right in half. Habitual sin (whatever it is) begins in the MIND. I highly recommend you check out Andrew Wommack ministries - it will help you immensely! You just need a good working foundation of the word of God so you can hear his voice - you'll be fine!

Answer 5

Alas, sounds like you are human... Which is really what your quest is all about, isn't it? Being in control of your human emotions, and not letting them rule you. The more that you really want to change, and SEEK a higher power, the more strength and confidence you will gain. You are not in control of your universe (inner self) if you become angry with people that say mean things to you. The psychology part of that is this... If you don't believe what they say about you, why do you become so upset?
As for the sermons, yes, they can be boring, but you may just retain something, however small, that you may be able to utilize someday. If you expect nothing...Nothing is what you will get. Understand?

Answer 6

The most mature answer that I can give you is this: we have free will. It is you who choose to do these things, and it is you who has the power to stop them. That being said, as a Christian, you are a member of the Body of Christ--we are a family. And as much as it is your responsibility for you to put a stop to your actions, it is the family's responsibility to support you. So here's a few tips:

1. Pray, and ask others to pray with you--I just said one for you :)
2. Attending church services and listening to sermons are not the only means through which God works. Try something different in your faith life--join a Bible study or a Christian fellowship group. Go on a retreat--get out into the majesty of God's creation, either with a group or on your own.
3. If possible, remove yourself from temptation. If their are people you are having problems handling and you do not have to be around them, then avoid those individuals until such time as you can handle things more maturely.
4. Take the focus off of you--serve others (not grumbling or complaining, but joyfully). Be the hands and feet of Christ--if you can't donate money, try to donate your time. Give of yourself, for by doing so, you will be imitating Christ and will come closer to Him.
5. Don't try to tackle every sin, all at once. Focus on what you think is your worst vice, or the one which you have the most control over. Study the stories and lessons given in the Bible that discuss that particular sin. Brainstorm all the ways that you can avoid that sin, and then concentrate on putting those alternatives into action every time you feel tempted. As you feel comfortable that you have conquered one sin, move on to the next.
6. Find someone in the church family, someone you trust, to hold you accountable. Confide in them your sins, your feelings, pray with them, and then ask them to help keep your paths straight.
7. It sounds like you're "sinning issues" have a lot to do with relationships with others, and specifically, revenge. Learn the value of forgiveness. I had a very poor relationship with my father growing up. I had a laundry list 7 years long of all the things he'd done that had ever hurt me. Then I realized these things were poisoning my soul. They kept me from seeing his point of view. They kept me from even communicating my point of view to him in any effective manner. I had to let go of these things. Remember, in the Lord's prayer we pray "Father, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us". Note that in no place in that sentence does it qualify it by saying we will forgive only those who have apologized to us, or made amends. Even on the cross, Christ said "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do". Did the Romans soldiers apologize to Christ before He forgave them? No. Do those who have hurt you know that they have hurt you? Maybe they don't. Regardless though, we are to forgive, period--this does not imply that their behavior is okay (anymore than when the Father forgives, are sins are no less sinful), only that we will not continue to hold it against them in the future.

Anyway, I hope this helps!
In Christ,
Christine

Answer 7

First of all, you need to find a church that meets your needs. How can you learn anything about God if you are bored out of your mind. I think you have the wrong idea about God. God doesnt look to pour his wrath out on you. He loves you just as a father loves his children. He would never seek to hurt you. He is only wanting to open his arms to you and love on you. Just the fact that you are having this yearning to get yourself right before God means that he's drawing you back to him. He knows that your battling. Dont confuse that fact that the "things you do" will earn you his love or earn your way into heaven. Jesus paid the price for every sin you've ever committed and every sin you will commit in the future. All you have to do is accept what he did and begin to walk in peace. The thing about sin is this,,,,God doesnt want you to stay away from sin because it hurts HIM, he wants you to stay away from sin because it hurts YOU. Its YOU that he's concerned about. While its good to have a friend to help keep you accountable before God, you dont need other people to pray for your forgiveness. All you need to do is talk to God yourself. He just wants a relationship with you. As you draw closer to him, all these "sinning issues" will dealt with one at a time. He's willing to help you if you'll let him. Please, Please find a church that fulfills what you need.

Answer 8

find a church where u are able to actually worship. Enter a church with praise and u will receive blessings.

If u attend a church that has their hand out for money rather than for praise of God and to lift u up in prayer, then walk away from that church.

Yes i will keep u in my prayers.

May u be able to praise to God a find healing in His grace.

Answer 9

First of all I will pray for you. But you appear to be very confused. Since youare born again you should be surrounding yourself with God's people and reading and hearing His word DAILY!

That is the only way that you will grow in faith. Otherwise you will wither which is what it sounds like you are doing.

Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.



1Pe 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:


1Pe 2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious


Even a newborn babe must eventually WALK. Don't sit around waiting on God to save you. GET INVOLVED!


Jam 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jam 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jam 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Answer 10

The Spirit and flesh are at constant war within us..we want to do right but we also have a flesh that MUST be crucified..We have to daily "pour out ourselves" to God and ask him to fill us with his Spirit...so my suggestion is this every morning when you get up get alone with God and tell him all on your mind...everyone who has offended you, Pray for them (God's way is correct) Jesus said to pray for our enemies not only that but to BLESS them...it is impossible to do without God's Spirit enabling us to do it so take it first to him tell him honestly how you feel and after you are "empty" ask him to fill you and help you to walk in love and obedience to him. Do this EVERYDAY. I will pray for you. Peace

Answer 11

You were never born again. Sorry, but it's the truth.
