I almost lost faith in God when I was losing battles in the dream to marine spirits, I will pray so hard and go to bed, they attack me and win me smoothly, I started doubting if God is actually as powerful as we describe him, then I started losing faith, I wept and slept, God then answered my prayers and made me to start killing them and winning battles. Second time I almost lost my faith in God was when I was so tired of being jobless, I was so depressed, I went to church so sad, I was crying in the church, it became so bad that I left the church midway and went home to cry fully, cause I really needed to cry and let go of the heaviness in my heart, so I went home, cried so much, slept from there and woke up with a big joy in my heart, the type of joy you get when you receive 1m alert, I dunno how God removed serious depression and put joy. The next week, I became depressed again about the job issue, then I slept and God talked to me, told me somethings, I felt happy. I prayed with my seer friend, he gave me 3 prophecies which is in line with my prayers, it increased my faith cause it meant God is aware of my problems, so I held on to it and I no longer get depressed. I started losing battles again, I wept and doubted God's power again, that was when I dreamt and saw Jesus Christ and ever since that day, I have never lost battles to marine spirits. Ever since that day I saw Jesus Christ, he empowered me, and I have never been depressed again. The devil will so much frustrate your life that you will begin to doubt if God actually exist or if he actually called you, at some point I will be like, "am I really a prophet?, did God even call me, but God will always tell me, yes you are a prophet. May God help us in Jesus name. Amen. 1 Like |

Koolyarn: RUBBISH!!! The highest award set up by European Christians to award themselves accolades is your own proof. This is why education has failed the black man, they read and memorise and regurgitate. They cannot APPLY their education to practical problems and challenges. |

Offpoint1:You are among the relative few who have observed that life is the way it is if the following are true: (1) There are no god(s). (2) Humans are on their own and left to fend for themselves. There is no divine intervention from anywhere to aid anyone. 1 Like 1 Share |

Offpoint1:I never brought in the idea that prayer is not answered as a result of sins. In fact, I don't buy that reasoning because it is not based on what Jesus Christ Himself, the one who defines what sin is, taught His disciples. Excuse me for thinking out loud for a moment.... * When we ask for forgiveness, God does not forgive us some of our sins, but all of them. So when God has forgiven me all of my sins, why then would God immediately penalize me(refuse to answer my requests) because of Sins He has already forgiven me for? * Yeah, there is more to it than the claim that it is because of sin. And if sin, should I know which sin it is? I mean there are only about 46 commandments in total in the New Covenant, the Law as far as the Kingdom of Heaven is concerned, so it doesn't help to arbitrarily claim that my requests were denied because of sin? * If I accept(trust) and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ yet I continue to wonder why God has yet to give me the ice-cream I asked Him for 2 weeks ago, it makes no sense to conclude that sin is the reason for the delay given I already obey His teachings and according to Him, that means I am free from sin. |

Amanda4life:God's mercy and compassion is not just on those who believe in Him. It rains daily on all of mankind, the wicked and the ungrateful as well. Miracles happen even to the unbelievers, on a regular basis as well. So don't for one second think that God is only good to those who believe in Him. No, God's grace, was poured out in the beginning, on all of mankind. He blessed man and commanded that He be fruitful, and then multiply. That was God's blessing and that blessing exists to this day even in the unbelieving world. However, for those who choose to believe in Him, He commands that you trust and accept His teachings believing that by submitting to His lead and His Will, He will do in and through you more than He does for those who refuse Him. |

specialmati:Why would God redirect someone somewhere without the person in question being made known of such redirect as you assume? Where in the Bible does Jesus Christ tell you that when you ask God for a thing, God could instead do what you state above? |

I never lost faith in God. I have just realized that no matter who we are or what we do, God has a plan for us. God will do what He plans to do, when He plan to do it regardless of our prayers, religion and/or faith. He will save those that He wants to save when He wants to save them. That is why a person will go to a church for 20 years, listen to several altar calls and still not be saved why another will just hear a short charge on the street and be saved. We can never understand how God works or make His decisions. The fact that a person prayed today and got what he or she asked for the next day does not mean that what you got was as a result of yesterday's prayers. I believe it was something God has destined that person to get that particular day regardless of that person's faith or prayers. I pray to God when I'm compelled by my spirit. I see God as a God of love who never promised it will be easy but has promised that His grace is sufficient for me; He promised to give when i ask but He never promised to give me immediately i ask; He promised to love us all but never promised to love the righteous alone. Having these basic understandings has helped my faith. To borrow the word of someone here...i am SBNR. |

Offpoint1:From these three scenarios, it is so easy to see that prayer is utterly useless. However, this common sense is not common. A lot of Christians will not admit the obvious conclusion from the three scenarios you listed. 1 Like |

Casham:Have you considered taking God at His Word? Basically, dump all the James Dobsons, and the doctrines and traditions of men - pastors and the lot. Instead of listening to men preach their version of the "gospel" at you, open your Bible and start reading through the Gospels on your own, throwing out everything you have ever been told of or about God prior to so God Himself can reveal Himself to you as He said He will. Try it please! Read the Gospels as you would a novel, and learn of exactly what God commands of you through Jesus Christ, making the choice to accept(trust) and obey His teachings as presented to you, Look for opportunities to obey what you read, testing God to show up as He said He will if you accept(trust) and obey His commandments. Try God and see if God is a joke or not! |

Offpoint1:According to the teachings of Jesus Christ, work refers to the individual acts of accepting(trusting) and obeying(action) the commandments/teachings of Jesus Christ, the New Covenant. Offpoint1:Faith is a collection of the works done by you following the lead by the Spirit of God i.e. the Will of God. |

ibedun: Did you read my write up as a response to the claim that someone earlier statement or you had pent up bile against Christianity. My write up simply attacks the notion that once you are a Christian, it will amount to backward stance that Africa find itself. Alfred Noble created the Noble Prize not because he is a Christian What prize should African scientist now set themselves that avoid regurgitate using your own word. I provided irrefutable evidence which you called backward. I await your evidence of awarding |

Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Kobojunkie: 9:02pm On Mar 14, 2021 |
Offpoint1:I was being reasonable even when I said what I did of sin and the assumption that because Paul declared in His letter that all HAVE sinned, somehow it is ok to continue sinning. |

Kobojunkie:Who does your explanation of WORK correlate with my work I'm referring here? I'm talking about work known by every human, that little you do to get a reward afterwards....that's the work I'm referring to do. What does trusting, accepting and obeying have to do with physical work? |
