only once. He told me that what I asked for would be given to me little by little without delay. But such thing never came to pass. It is like he has been avoiding me. I really suffered a lot.

But have you ever received any massage from God through anyone.

yes. many prophets have prophesied to me but they are all saying same thing, each slightly different. the prophecies i got were little more than the usual 'god want me to tell you that you have a bright star and would become a great person in future', or, ' people from your mother's/father's side are witches who do not want to see you prosper'. i don tire

those pastors can lie eh
they always proclaim that all children are special but that's not true.

how do I send emails on nairaland I am having problems with it.

if you are following whom you want to mail and he is also following you, then you can just go straight to their profile, send your message and they would receive it instantly. but if both of you are not following each other, then the person you mailed would receive a notification from you, and has to respond back before you can both exchange mails properly

Don't be disappointed. If you had been a Christian before as you said, You would know how to express yourself without sounding like someone who's never known him.

so? and i have to explain myself to you because? do you even care about people? where is your empathy? have you been depressed before?

depressed individuals don't have the luxury of going into detailed explanations in order to convince doubting thomases like you. i can barely organise my thoughts. i just dey manage dey type

i am very disappointed in you. you guys keep proving that christians are cruel folks. even muslims better pass una

thanks. Take heart in a new tomorrow because everyone has a time when the sun goes away. If God is everywhere, then he sees our text. I believe if God wants to help us out nothing will stop him.

But if at all I get help from God, I am out of Christianity cos the trauma is too substantial.

a better tomorrow is all i am hoping for and god is not part of it. i appreciate your time bro, and the words too

Martinez19:
No actually, I am still traumatized by the experiences. You won't believe God put me through all this. What did I ever do to God? So traumatized that I am half human.

You won't understand until you experience it.

I understand, I was once discouraged but God showed me mercy and brought me back to himself again. I want you to know that those experiences might have come from the Devil, God may have allowed them to make you stronger, believe me the deviil targets those with great destinies and potentials more. I want you encourage yourself in God and ask him for mercy. Do you know the story of Job? he was a very righteous man but all those ugly things happened to him and in one day at that!! his children, animals, servants all died in one day,yet he remained steadfast,he even became sick but he looked up to God,he said "I know my redeemer liveth". How many people can pass through the trauma Job passes through and not rum mad? David said " i will yet hope in the Lord my God" Accept Jesus again as your personal Lord and saviour and then make your argument with God that the Bible says "If any man be in Christ Jesus he is a new creature therefore let everything in your life become new" and believe ,you will see your life change totally but gradually!! Be strong brother!! Don't allow Satan rejoice that he pushed you out of the way,rather push him out of your way!!

My dear trying to paint Christians bad won't help anything,I have genuine concern for you. And you talking about depression? Guy I've had my share of depression, disappointment, frustrations and bitterness, you probably think your case is worst because you haven't heard other people stories. At about 11 years I almost committed suicide, no one knows this in my family till now and at 20 I was going through a great depression alone, I'm naturally quiet and not expressive so people didn't know, I know how many times I cried and how many times I wished I didn't exist. I'll tell you what, i'm stronger and I'm glad I'm alive and I'm happy and grateful that God pulled me out of the pit I was in. So there's hope for you .

but for how long. God never valued my love, zeal and devotion to him. I have reached my limits. Why has he stop communications with me? Whatever may be the purpose of all this, it doesn't change the fact that this is emotional abuse and psychological trauma. Gosh, you should ask what I did to deserve all this. It is not fair. I believe that if God wants to do something, nothing will stop him.

That was one of my problems,I thought I loved God and he didn't love me back,but I later realised he loved me and loves me more than I love him. Just like you said if God wants to do something nothing will stop him.

i am sorry to hear about that dear. such is life. i believe that depression is an individual thing, mr A can't be said to be experiencing more mental pain than mr B owning to the fact that we as humans reside in very different evironments and grew under different circumstances and were all created differently. some have the ability to better cope with pains than others while other people are even too weak to bear any measure of pain.

saying your situation was worse than mine is as wrong as saying mine is worse than martinez'.

i have been depressed from childhood, I seldom intimate my family my feelings as i keep to myself mostly, so they felt i was alright because i was doing fine in school by the standards.
as i aged i realise i am changing into a much different person and am beginning to despise my overly religious family, especially my dad who is quick to blame and criticise. when i tell them how i feel inside, they dismiss my words, say i am too naive, and tend to only be concerned about pleasing god and going to church. they call me witch, wizard and other bad names. even those around me share similar opinion. i am thinking of cutting myself from them.

how na?

lots of people feel the way you do. you reminded me of the 3 Hebrew guys unlike you they said even if HE didn't help they'd still serve HIM

I was feeling something similar then I stumbled on a teaching by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, when there's no change yet Changing Hopeless Situations My eyes were opened n I was reminded of things I forgot including what Faith Really is

well thanks I did like to have your number so we could communicate later on WhatsApp. Your own story might bring hope to me. How about 8:30pm this evening. My phone is down and I usually on my generator in the evening.



Okay,send me a PM when your phone is on.

okay, surround your self with people that think positive things about you and one Person that would never leave you is God, please try him again, I can assure you there would be a difference this time. Go to him like a son going to a father, don't go to him with hate or despises in your heart.

There is no need worshiping a god who can neither see, nor hear, ,nor move, nor think!!!
A 1979 teddy bear is far more useful than the fairy tale characters from the christian bible!!!

thanks, but mention anything in the world but not god. well, if god is ready to apologise for all the pains he brought upon my life, make amends for the things i lost, then i am willing to forgive him and take him back. else he will grow bald waiting for me to reconcile with him.

right about now what i really need is a calm atmosphere where i can cool off cos i am losing my sanity. i am thinking of changing location then start life anew.

if god is actually real and has the power to undo, why does he require faith from us before he acts? and why are the miracles happening today not instant?

Bros you funny o. You want apology from God abi. How exactly do you want to get it?- Verbally, via phone call or through email?

yahweh doesn't have a choice if he hopes to be friends with me again. he should climb down heaven from his high ego let's settle our dispute amicably

verbally will be okay but he would do well to tone down his thunderous voice

Good. With all the spiritual distractions out of the way and getting to keep more of your income, you can build a better life for yourself.

Seun, why is this coming from you. You shouldn't meddle on trivial issues like this publicly.


Agadsman:
my guy, you have never been a true follower of Christ.... I pray that you encounter God Truly and soon too.

People passing through depression needs gentle words. He is obviously pained, i can guarantee he doesn't mean all he his saying, @frustratedguy please drop me a personal message lets talk.
