Ladygee12:
Does anyone here sometimes feel like prayers are not being answered by God? Even after fasting , praying , midnight prayers , keeoing a holy life ,doing good ,attending fellowships
It can be frustrating, sometimes u could feel like God doesn't hear you , consider you or even that he doesn't exist
What's d solution

Mark 11:24 whatever you ask in prayers believe that you've received it and it would be yours.

How are you doing? Have u read romans?

litigator:
This is one area of our Biblical journey we often shy away from talking about.

I am certain I am not alone in this regard.

How does it feel if at 9. am on a Sunday morning, I come out for an altar call after a powerful heart-shattering and guilt-provoking sermon, give my life to Christ; I am prayed for and declare born again, but I unconsciously commit a sin on my way back home?

And with that guilt, I go back to sin full time like it was before the alter call?

I guess I am not alone in this regard. I have attended church services countless times and listened to sermons and teachings that I can't recollect, and at the end of such endeavour, I obey the alter call one minute, and the next minute, I am back to fornicating. This is one thing that has kept a lot of people out of this spiritual journey.

Even Pastors are not immune to sin, as some have found themselves committing sin at one point or the other. I guess Apostle Paul suffered same in the Bible. And this brings me to my question.


Does being again make you immune to sin, and is it a vaccine against sinning?

Is it that if I sin, it will no longer count against me because I have Grace?

Or is it a merry-go-round of sinning and asking for forgiveness shortly afterwards until we get better at not sinning anymore?

And if the latter is the case, why do churches hate and guilt-shame members when they sin but defend pastors when they do the same?

Read d book of romans you’llget your answer .

I think you're great had more bass than your beat and put other effects on your voice with the auto tune

Adamumd:
It is fact that young girls (18Years to 24Years) are sweeter, fresher, respectful and easy to date and love compared to (26Years above to 40Years) older women.

But it seems in from another quarter, some men consider older women more attractive as science has it that older women are more sweeter, mature minded and that is why most go after older women.

Which do you prefer and what is your reason??

which science ?

Love triumph over judgement. Try to love her not judge her cause she is only human .

Oga you like to arguing . Go read your Bible well well .

Dtruthspeaker:
Saying I should read my Bible very well does not answer the question I have put to you and your dodging it just proves I am right.

So, please answer the question if you can "Is it not Christ Who Spoke in the Exodus 19 and 15 I gave that is in the Bible?

Dtruthspeaker:
Is it not Christ Who Spoke in Exodus 19 and 15?

read your Bible very well and stop opposing the truth because you want to look wise ask the Holy Spirit to help you see.

You really need to pray for the spirit of revelation and read the Bible with your eyes open . You are just here arguing what Christ said with his own mouth . You are arguing blindly .

Dtruthspeaker:
See that word new testament is blocking people from seeing that Christ even sent everyone to The Commandments which He Himself gave to Moses.

And by this referral to The Commandments, it therefore means that we are under The Commandments which is where the first Commandments, Commands Love.

So, this is not a problem.

I have only looked beyond Exodus 20 to see Exodus 19 and 15 and other earlier Commandments and they have The Commandment of Listening and Obeying God.

Which of course would naturally come first for in the first, we can not love a Person Whom we do not know.

Love always comes after we have known The Person, hence it is listening, (thinking) and maybe Obedience or Disobedience which may follow thereafter.

Which is why non Church goers and even church goers when Truth hits them, do remember in their hearts that they really do not know God so how can they love Him?

We do not love a Person Who we do not know. Love takes time to grow.

I think you will need to read the New Testament very well cause according to Christ our only law is to love one another .

Dtruthspeaker:
Yes!

I'll spell it out.

O.B.E.D.I.E.N.C.E

Thank you and this love is the only commandment for a Christian cause it fulfills all the laws

NNTR:
John 14:15
Jesus said to his disciples:
If you love me, you will do as I command.

1 John 4:16
We have come to know [by personal observation and experience],
and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love,
and the one who abides in love, abides in God, and God abides continually in him.

1 John 4:8
The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God
[does not and never did know Him], for God is love. (i.e. and vice versa)
[He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.]

1 Corinthians 13:13
And now there remain:
faith [abiding trust in God and His promises],
hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation],
love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me],
these three [the choicest graces];
but the greatest of these is love.

Preach preacher

Matthew 22:40
All the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets are based on these two commandments

John 1:17
For the Law was given through Moses,
but grace [the unearned, undeserved favor of God] and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:19-22
19Now we know that whatever the Law [of Moses] says,
it speaks to those who are under the Law,
so that [the excuses of] every mouth may be silenced [from protesting]
and that all the world may be held accountable to God [and subject to His judgment].
20For no person will be justified [freed of guilt and declared righteous] in His sight
by [trying to do] the works of the Law.
For through the Law we become conscious of sin
[and the recognition of sin directs us toward repentance, but provides no remedy for sin].
21But now the righteousness of God has been clearly revealed
[independently and completely] apart from the Law,
though it is [actually] confirmed by the Law and the [words and writings of the] Prophets.
22This righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all those [Jew or Gentile] who believe
[and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s Son].
There is no distinction,

Galatians 5:14
13For you, my brothers, were called to freedom;
only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness),
but through love serve and seek the best for one another.
14For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is fulfilled in one precept,
“YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF
[that is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit].”

Romans 13:8
Owe nothing to anyone except to love and seek the best for one another;
for he who [unselfishly] loves his neighbor
has fulfilled the [essence of the] law [relating to one’s fellowman].

1 Peter 4:8
Above all, have fervent and unfailing love for one another,
because love covers a multitude of sins
[it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others].

Dtruthspeaker is swimming against the tide, and this is the reason why he can't see the forest for the trees.

Fact is, the greatest and highest commandment centres and hinges on love. To love, earns one credit, as to love, is all that the Law demands.

1 Peter 4:8 and 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 et cetera are talking to Adam and Eve, Abraham, Cain and even OP Dtruthspeaker, needs to, personally, get better acquainted with them all and individually.

The clinger really, in all of this, is at 1 Corinthians 13:13, because, without love, the word of God is not complete.

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

According to Christ the New Testament believer only have one Commandment “Love one another” fulfilling this command is fulfilling all the commands .

Dtruthspeaker:
These are the Greatest Commandments in the world.

Exodus 15:26

1) If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God,

2) and wilt do that which is right in his sight,

3) and wilt give ear to his commandments,

4) and keep all his statutes

Depending on what you’re smoking cigarettes kills but marijuana don’t it’s has a lot of benefits .

Segzy19:
Yes it is!

Again, medically or health wise smoking has no single benefit.

Alcohol still has benefits if taken reasonably. It becomes a problem if taken excessively and unreasonably. That's why they say 'drink responsibly'

But for smoking, you will never hear or read 'smoke responsibly'... They will rather warn you that 'smokers are liable to die young'...

Smoking pollutes the body, which is also spiritually referred to as the temple of God. Why putting smoke into the temple of God? You want to burn the temple of God be dat.
God go vex for you...lol!

It's a sin... It has no single health benefit rather it destroys health....

How do we pray when we keep seeing ourselves in former school and house.

enthronedbyGod1:
Like I said earlier follow madprophets first advice.
Your problem has to do with your foundation and satanic dedication.
You've been delivered according to you and that has solved some problems but not all.
You'd need to live a prayerful life and eat the word of God like food, cos Jesus said if you continue in His word, you'd be His disciple indeed , you'd know the truth and the truth would completely set you free.

Isaiah 49 : 24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus says the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with you, and I will save your children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am your Saviour and Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

There are lawful captives and unlawful captives. In your case you were a lawful captive cos of the satanic dedication, but God says in this scripture that even the lawful captive would be delivered.
You have to eat God's words constantly and scriptures like this has to be in your head so that whenever the devil comes you use the word against him. You'd have to pray fervently every midnight nonstop. If you've been baptised in the Holy Spirit, it'd be advisable to pray in tongues always especially when you don't know what to pray about.

You also have to live a holy life and do away with anything you previously had that was dedicated to marine powers. Abstain from premarital sex completely and anything that'd incite lust in you , cos the presence of lust would bring back the spirit husband.
Also tell God to divorce you completely from any spirit husband and if you've had children in the spirit realm without knowing, you consume them all by the fire of God.

Also nullify everything negative that was done against you from birth with the blood of Jesus.

Lastly be modest , especially in your dressing.

You dare by pray hard to have it you pray in faith and you’ll receive it.

integritylady:
I believe speaking in tongues is a gift
What if you dont have the gift, and you've prayed hard to have it
Then is it a must you speak in tongues?

The Holy Spirit uses different strategy to different people so yours might not be like the OP

folak48:
His approach is Godly and scriptural only that he didn't tabled the issues like he did for the op after the fast.

Maybe you need a different approach, but before anything check if the approach is scriptural if yes then go for it

folak48:
It's not as if I don't have faith in God or I doubt the Man of God its only that his approach to my issue is different.

I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.” (Psalm 116:14)
God heard the prayer of Hannah who had no children. He knew her broken and contrite heart. He also took note of her vow. Accordingly, He blessed her with a child as she had prayed and vowed. When she received the blessing from the hands of the Lord, she made it a point to give the child for the service of God as she had vowed (1 Samuel 1:28). The blessed child, who was given by God to Hannah and offered back to God for His service is none other than the “Great Prophet Samuel”. Dear Friend, see how God gave a wonderful child to Hannah because of her vow. God not only gave this child but also blessed her with many children (1 Samuel 2:21). Like Hannah, when you pay your vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people, God will surely hear your petition and bless you (Psalm 116:18,19).

A widow had two children. With great difficulty, she brought them up and educated them. But, in spite of all her poverty and suffering, she was always very careful in keeping a part of her hard earned money for tithing to the Lord. Unexpectedly, her son was offered a job in the office where his father worked earlier. Now, the family income rose higher. But, this mother was very careful in giving one tenth of their income to God. She prayed, “Lord! You take care of the future of my two children. Help them to excel in their future life. You must lead them in the correct path. Today I vow to give You a certain amount as offering for Your work.” This amount was very big when you look at her income and her family background. But, she did not worry about it at all. What a wonder! Her daughter also completed her studies and God gave her a good job in an unexpected way. Now both her children started earning money. This mother also fulfilled her vow by giving that offering.
My dear brothers and sisters, today, be vigilant concerning your life. Today, make a vow to give a part of your income for God’s work and ministry. God will surely help you to fulfil your vow. Through it, He will bless you more than you expect (Genesis 28:22; 32:10-12). Taking a vow is up to your choice but if you are in a desperate need like Hannah it is good to make a vow to receive an answer and fulfill it for God's glory. At the same time be wise not to make a vow rashly which you cannot fulfill. It is a trap to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider one's vows (Proverbs 20:25). It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it (Ecclesiastes 5:5). So when you make a vow, do what would glorify God's name and would help in spreading His good news. Like Hannah your sacrifice has to be something that will be useful to people. Make only such vows and that too if God leads you to. If you are ready to fulfill your vow God will also readily fulfill what you ask Him for.
Prayer:
Loving Saviour!

Give me the grace to fear You in my life. In all my work, help me not to lose heart and to make a vow like Hannah. Father! Help me to fulfill my vow also. From today onwards, help me to lead a life in You and also to offer a part of my income to You so that I may receive all the blessings. Graciuosly enable me to fulfill my vow at all cost and let it bring glory to Your name.

In Jesus’ precious name I pray,

AMEN

Go on a three days dry fast and ask God he’ll show you .

Goalnaldo:
Sometime ago during one of the crossing over service the holy Spirit descended heavily and asked each one of us what God will like to do for us. I said I want to be a great man of God. He said he has been waiting to hear this from my mouth.

Oil was poured upon me that night and I was mandated. Few years past, I never made any move to start the work of God, instead I keep applying for jobs, trying several things I learned from this forum but no one yielded anything positive.

Yesterday (Sunday) the holy Spirit descended again. He says one day I will do his work that the earlier I start the better for me. If not every other thing I put my hands on will fall.

I'm bothered because unlike other people that are called, I don't see any vision or revelation or anything that clearly shows me this path. What's your advice on this? Please I need your opinions.

I wonder why people find joy when things go wrong for the rich. Most Nigerians need serious help.

Leave those ones talking rubbish .

obailala:
There's no way in this world they wouldnt have told the boy what he was going to the UK for. It's pointless hiding it from him knowing fully well that the UK doctors would still explain the procedure (including the risks) to him before commencing the operation. If they truly wanted to 'harvest' his organs without his willingness as several peopleare alleging, they wouldnt have been silly enough to go to the Royal Free hospital in London. There're many shady hospitals in shady countries they would have alternatively taken him to if they wanted to harvest him.

And you believe that . If you know how many people I know who are willing to sell there kidney for Peanut you’ll be shocked . He just want to stay in the UK watin go still backfire.

ERockson:
But why the too much noise about the boy age. The alleged offence is very bad regardless of the boy's age. The boy claimed he was promised a job not knowing he was about to be harvested

It’s one thing I have always admire about her she is very mature

Mhizcontempt:

You are acting like a fo*l, KEEP QUIET.

Ximenez:
It's quiet in between a sentence, not "Quiet"

You can keep Quiet still.

Ximenez:
There's nothing like "keep quite"

Keep quite since you’ve got nothing to say .

When you focus on your career and start building your own family, then you'll hardly notice issues like married women talking to male friends in shopping malls.
