decisions

[failed0]

I had been praying for answers for many years and I decided I needed to move in a direction I thought God was leading me. I took a test and decided if it did not go the way I wanted it to then it was not right. Well, I got my results back and it was worse than I could have imagined. However, there is no direction in to what to do now. Im sinking deep in depression. I do not know whether to try again or what. How do I know when to step out again? What if I was wrong for the last seven years and everything I have worked into this direction is now over?

AHHHHHH cut it out! I rebuke the spirit of self loathing and depression and I cancel the assignment of death and distruction set out against you in Jesus's name.

Proclaim that prayer out loud. The power of words is amazing. Speak it into existance just replace "you" with "me" and also speak out romans 8:15

Romans 8:15 "For you did NOT recieve the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you recieved the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father"

I really think that Matthew 5:2-12 is for you especially verse 2 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."


#1 Testing God

Test God. But do it with a pure true heart like Gideon did in Judges 6:37

37 look, I will place a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said." 38 And that is what happened. Gideon rose early the next day; he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.
39 Then Gideon said to God, "Do not be angry with me. Let me make just one more request. Allow me one more test with the fleece. This time make the fleece dry and the ground covered with dew." 40 That night God did so. Only the fleece was dry; all the ground was covered with dew.

He affirmed that it was not just a fluke... and even though God met him the first time, because Gideon was human he struggled with sin nature and had only little faith he believed , but he tested God again!!!!

Some people would argue that its a sin to test God or that you shouldnt. God TELLS us to test him. Malachi 3:10 "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there maybe food in my house, And test me now in this" Yes the scripture is talking about tithes but its also talking about stepping out in faith and seeing that his promises will be fufilled.

Romans 12:2
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

#2 Ask and you shall recieve.

Matthew 21:22 "And whatsoever you ask for in prayer, of faith, believing, you will recieve"

As long as its in accordance with Gods will you will get it.... lol but be careful what you pray for. Because if you ask God for something like patience I promise you God will probably send one of the most annoying people ever into your life to make you learn patience. Gods humor is pretty freaking funny when you "let Go, and let God"


#3 You are an Ambasador

You are an ambassador of Christ EVERYDAY. If your heart is to be used by God for Him and for the Kingdom, yes you are going mess up (ALOT-the only difference from us and the rest of the world we have the grace of God on our side) but God doesnt stop useing you even if youve made a wrong decision. That DOESNT mean though that you havent missed out on some blessings because you werent being obedient to what God had to say. But dont freak out!!! the thoughts and the love that God has for us are so VAST. God will never give you responsibility that you cannot handle. He will never hold you accountable to a level of understanding that you have not yet reached.

Mtbojcu - May the blood of Jesus cover you

PS. I EPIC FAIL ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE TIME! I PROBLY DID IT AT LEAST TWICE TODAY! lol so relax lighten up & know that ur lifted up in my prayers.

Thanks so much I know I should read my bible to guide my path, but I feel like I do not know where to read and that it was not the right scripture for me. Can you give me advice on how to read my bible? Thank you so much for your words, I did feel like I had tested God and that I was not supposed to. I was afraid to do it again. Now, my other question is I have two dates to try my test again. I could take it in December which will still set me on the goal track that I have or I could take it in February which could possibly still be on the right track but might not but I would have more time to study. I can also go through someone I know who has contacts, but to me that is forcing the hand. I am not so sure that would be right. I know I am bombarding you but I need help and I do not know where to get it. I do pray all the time but I need help figuring out what God wants me to do and accepting it.

Well first off, register as a member on the forum. stop using a nonregistered name. get one!...so ppl like me can talk to you. yeaA?! ok. good
secondly: Im not going to tell you the decision to make and its good to ask for advice but its not good to let people make decisions that influence your personal life and walk for you.

As for diving into the bible... try going to youtube and looking up some smart influencial preacher, teachers and pastors... Mr. O'dollar is a good one to listen to just start soaking your soul in words of encouragement and look up in a concordance a word or emotion that you are stuggling with like "decisions" and read the scriptures and words surrounding them so that you understand.
