God ?

Question

I've never been a firm believer but I'm also not an atheist. My husband really wants me to be more spiritual and accept Jesus Christ as my savior. I'm not 100% sold but I'm also not against it. I'm not sure what's preventing me from believing. I do have commitment issues lol so maybe that's it ! But on a serious note-

What's your faith journey ? What's your connection to God? How did you know this belief system was for you ? What strengthened it ? What made it undeniable?

I've tried reading the Bible but I just can't get into it. I've gone to church and been to religious retreats- maybe something is just wrong with me? Help me out ladies !

As a side note- last night I had the weirdest feeling. I was awake but asleep. I felt something come up behind me. It felt heavy and dark and I felt scared. I couldn't move my body and I couldn't speak. It happened twice.  My husband is comvninced for this reason I need to do some soul searching. I just don't know !!

Answer

I would have to say that believing in God and and being a firm worshipper of his devine words are two separate things. And until you get to that point in life where you know that God is the way, the truth, and the light; then you will always have a hard time accepting Jesus and worshipping him. To help you out I'll tell my testimony. Hopefully you can draw from it. But in the end you have to decide on your own. There is no need to fake it. I grew up the eldest of my three siblings. My great aunt adopted me when I was eight years of age. At that age I think it was the first time I ever truly was introduced to God. I like the sound of angels and heaven. But I knew that there was things that I wanted to do that would most likely land me in hell. So like many people my guilt pushed me away from God. I developed really bad insomnia. I could not go to bed until the A.M. The reason is I felt dark things around me. I was terrible afraid of the dark, and of dying. It was so bad that if I when outside at night or entered a dark area I could literally feel dark presence reaching at me or surrounding me. If I laid down at night I had to have light, I couldn't go to sleep even then because I felt like may oxygen couldn't find my lungs or heart couldn't find its beat. I suffered like this for a very very long time. I even got to the point where I experienced seeing things that I could never describe. I even got baptized at 16, and it couldnt stop what I was experiencing. The spirit of lust, the spirit of bipolor the spirit of depression, and the spirit of hatred had me so bound. But when I decided to accept Jesus. It was a weight lifted off of me. When I took on the yoke of Jesus, I can walk in dark areas, I sleep soundly every night, I don't feel depressed, bipolor, lustful or hatred anymore. Why? Because I'm letting God reign in my life. I believe in the blood of Jesus. See it's not just have  saving power but it also has healing power. There is healing for your mind, body, and

I would encourage you to seek an independent baptist church. What you need is the word of God. The King James Version Bible is where it's at. Your going to get you God. One thing people don't always understand is God does not change and either does his word. The new versions I do not accept because so much is changed and left out. God meant what he spoke and that will never change. He's waiting for you. He always has an open door. In order for you to accept Jesus Christ as your savior you have to understand what he's done for you. I'm definitely here if you need to talk about it. I was saved last year and it was the best decision of my life. God has completely changed me and I have no idea where I would be or what I would do without Him. Allowing Jesus to save you is the best decision you'll ever make. I'm seriously if you need to talk or have questions.

Answer

Not every one NEEDS religion or faith. Some people have that pocket that needs to be filled, some don't. Some need faith to validate their moral values, some don't. Just like you, I can't commit to something like this, I'm not a believer. All organized religions got so so much blood on their hands and I have serious issues with it. Please don't feel guilty about it. You were born free to choose your beliefs and they should work for you not the other way around 🤓

Answer

I can explain to you what happened and what you can do, but at the end of the day the choice is 100% yours. Sometimes there's problems or fears you just can't seem to overcome. I learned to overcome them when I opened my heart to JESUS. And it took me 19 years. I grew up catholic but it was so incredibly hard for me to feel anything at all when I read the Bible or went to church or sang at church. I had a lot of hatred and pain in my heart that kept me from feeling at all. But last Sunday I went to a worship group and the preacher was talking about repentance. He said we need to stop pointing the fingers at others and judging others that don't go to church or don't believe and to start with ourselves. He said that God is the only one who can judge and for us to bring others closer to him we had to repent first. For years I held in all this anger and hate for those who hurt me. I had held so much against them, my anxiety, my depression, my sadness.. that I was just walking with that baggage my entire life. So I asked God to forgive me for blaming them and holding so much against them. He asks us to Love those who have hurt us and when I finally did it I felt so relieved. I forgave the man that raped me and I finally felt Jesus in my heart. Now I'm open to a life and home with God in the midst and I couldn't be happier. God helps you with your problems and He will help you get by, but he made us with free will and the choice is up to you. Find what's keeping you from Him and He will help you get through it :)

Answer

Talk to God. Just like you are asking us ask Him and he shall answer. Salvation is not about religion, it is about a relationship with God through Jesus.

Answer

Everyone is different. I don't think you NEED to go to church or church functions to believe in God. I am the "I'll believe it when I see it" type so God and religion was iffy with me growing up.

A few years ago my friends cousin was in a terrible car crash. He was in a coma for weeks and his family was told he wouldn't make it. They started preparing him for organ donation and HE WOKE UP out of nowhere and made a full recovery. I'm still in disbelief, but his situation really opened my eyes.

Do what feels right to you.

Answer

Well personally I think religion and spirituality are things that can't be forced. You either feel it, or you don't. If you feel like you're searching for more, but Christianity just isn't doing it, maybe you should look into something else. I think overcoming my obstacles when all the odds were stacked against me are part of why I'm a believer. I say you should follow your heart and listen to your gut because faith is what really makes religion mean something.

Answer

Questioning god is one step closer to knowing him. 😇

Answer

This has happened to me twice before. I felt like somthing was watching over me. More like hovering. I couldn't open my eyes. I couldn't move my fingers not matter how hard I tried. I could scream. I tried to shout my boyfriends name and my lips wouldn't move. After a couple of mins I woke up. It's such a nasty feeling. It felt like somthing was holding me down. The feeling of not been able to speak or move is horrendous. I am a believer. However I have not got a religion. I don't go to church. I do prey when I feel I need to tho.

My OH would say that was a jinn creeping up on you.
