Help ...can A Thought Be Regarded As A Vow?? by Neolah(f): 1:50pm On Sep 18, 2016
I've been going through a lot of stress...this thing about vows... I think I've been so conscious of vows..trying not to make them and I find myself thinking thoughts that makes me feel like I've made a vow which I know that I won't keep...i mean a thought starts to feel like a vow...i am tired and I feel like I should just wait for my punishment from God...i don't want to do anything because of a vow...it feels like punishing myself. At least if God punishes me it would be just... I am feeling really bad

No a thought isn't a vow.

Even holy people ...evil thoughts goes through their minds at times.. It doesn't defile them they will be defiled if they act upon tie thought so on ur case as long as u didn't say the vow with ur mouth it isn't ....so U get the point.. Many unconscious things flashbthru the mind always.

Oh my dear, why do you think of God in this way? Do you think God is just standing by waiting for you to make a mistake for him to punish you? Oh no dear. You are wrong.

Even if you made a vow that you cant keep or have not kept yet, God wont punish you for it.

Forgive me, but allow me ask how your relationship with your earthly father is. Is your Daddy quick to punish you over little mistakes? No. Humans are impatient with fellow humans, but God is Patient.

If God is a stern Judge who is just watching over you to make mistakes and then get punished, then why will Christ tell us to forgive our fellow humans if they sin 70×7 times in one day? Or do you think he admonishes us to be patient and forgive others while he refuses to forgive us?

pls lay the stress aside lets talk about the nature of this Vow. What is this vow?

I personally made a Vow, verbal, conscious Vow at the alter of prayer, its getting to a year now, i have not been able to redeem it. Am calm becos i know my father knows that immediately am disposed, i will redeem it. Most importantly, the vow must be redeemed, but if you don't have what it takes to redeem it yet, calm down.
Your heavenly fathers sees and knows you. So chilax
