Dear all
For the past 4 years I am having all kinds of problems and troubles. I lost my dad 7 months ago. I was a hindu but gave my heart to love jesus christ and accept him as my saviour. But now a days I feel I dont love him though I want to love him. I have all sorts of problems. I am so tired of life. I am so tired of my problems and Iam tired of my prayers also.
So many bad things have happened and I just want a breakthrough in my life. I want to become debt free and have sufficient enough money. I want to get married soon. I want to finisih my studies. I want to finish my part time job soon and get a good job. I want to pay off my debts. When people see me I want them to see me a blessed child of GOD. I dont know is there is anything wrong with me. I have prayed so much. If some one have collected my tears there will be a flood. I earnestly seek God but I dont know why God is hiding his face from me. Why he is not answering my prayer. Whats the problem with me. How long should I wait. All my collegues and friends and classmates everyone have gone so far in life. My life is stagnating. I feel I am like a slave not able to do what I want to. I want to go to next stage of my life. Day after day I am having new problems and troubles. I just cant bear this. #
Please some one can U pray for me. I am sick of my life, my soul is so tired. Every minute my eyes are filled with tears. Can someone ask God for me and tell what is happening in my life, why is it happening. What should I do. I have asked this so many times. I am not sure whether I could not hear or listen or God did not answer me. Why my life is such a struggle why is it stagnating for such along years and when will I have a break through. Every one are laughing at me , mocking me.
Full Version: Is God Cruel
dear millionaire,
i am sorry to hear that you lost your dad. that is painful ...very.
i lost my daddy in 1994 and still, i miss him terribly.
the hope of the resurrection however brings me hope, and in that, i have faith in our Father, for he is merciful, through Jesus, our Lord.
what a joyful reunion that will be .... i love to think of it.
i feel for you...your pain is palpable.
but in reading your post, there are several things that stand out to me, in the reading of it.
may i try and help? by asking you some questions that you might respond to?
do you think that by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior, that everything will go well with you in your life?
do you expect, as a result, that you will be 'debt free'?
or that you will experience no hardship in your life?
do you anticipate that when people see you, they will see you as a "blessed child of God"?
is your distress based upon how others view you?
is it your desire to be well respected by your peers, and honored among men?
do you compare yourself to others?
why do you name yourself, "millionaire'?
is this what you desire?
indeed, we do become "debt-free" in the eyes of God, when we accept the atoning sacrifice of his Son to cover our sins, and request of God, a clean consious before him. We are released from the 'debt' of sin.
we were bought with a price, in blood. nothing is more precious.
since we are bought, we are his slaves. stop being a slave to men and to riches.
i am distressed to hear the preachers that preach that the "riches" that come from Christ are somehow connected to the riches of this world.
as if godly devotion is a means of great gain.
indeed, this goldy devotion, it is a means of 'great gain', but not as the world considers 'gain'.
i think that you are confusing the "riches of the Christ"
with the "riches of this world".
they are not from the same source.
do you do your best in your work and studies? that is sufficient.
do you faithfully pay the bills you owe, as you have ability? that is sufficient.
are you honest in your dealings with others?
do you have compassion for those you see in need?
dear one, i think that you need to realize that we could lose all ....
everything. have you ever read the book of Job?
our love for Jesus is not a magic-charm, that lets us have a ticket to a magically charmed and blessed life....read what the ones who have served God in times past have suffered and gone through before you!
If that were the case....that we are blessed with a "perfect life in this world...as the "world" sees a 'perfect life', who would not want to be 'christian'? what would the motivation really be?
Job is a very good book written for us that will help you.
our love for God should not based upon what we get in the way of material things....having life, "in abundance"...does not mean having abundant material wealth.
who has told you these things that you are expecting such a "blessed life" from God?
if we compare ourselves to others, we will always be in despair.
..or we will always feel superior. depending upon who we compare ourselves to.... have you compared your life to someone who is starving in North Korea, or in Africa?
how much study and time have you spent with God's word? do it more so....even alone. DO IT MORE SO.
who has been your instructor? -- seek to be instructed by the true Master, Jesus.
i fear men's false teachings, and your own expectations, are the reason for your suffering. (and it angers me greatly--what lies men teach)
but do not give up.
rather, we need to be willing to give up even everything for the Christ.
the riches of God's wisdom are more to be desired than all the money in the world, all the gold, the silver, the gems, even everything.
i am very distressed for you. seek God, and not riches.
for all those that are determned to be rich in this system of things stab themselves all over, and suffer many pains. ..and they will not remain innocent. have you never read of the suicides of those who seemingly have everything the world has to offer? of their depressions?
Money does not buy love, nor happiness.
ususally, it is the thing that brings grief to many who have an abundance of it....do you really know a millionaire and how his or her life is, inside them?
Paul asked for neither riches, nor poverty, but to be content with what is sufficient. to work with his hands to provide for his needs.
You cannot serve God, and slave for riches, and glory from men, at the same time...for you will love the one, and hate the other.
you cannot serve two masters.
what is it you really seek?
with love, and i do hope to hear from you more and soon.
do not give up in doing what is fine.
do not give up.
with deep concern and compassion and love,
blindzebra

Dear millionaire,
I understand your tiredness, but please never never give up HOPE in CHRIST JESUS. I too have been, several times in your shoes sort to speak, maybe not in the same situations and circumstances however, I have been there where I too wondered why my prayers were not being answered, why things kept getting worse instead of better, why the harder I tried the worse things got.
Dear Child Of God, I have good news. God isn't finished with you yet. You just keep on praying, keep on believeing, and keep your HOPE in Christ Jesus. You see the world as we know it is coming to an end and we must keep on fighting the fight and keep our HOPE in HIM and grow in our faith. Let me share with you something that I have been stydying just last night and this morning as a matter of fact. First let me tell you this GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS TO SHOWER YOU WITH BLESSINGS.
Here is part of a song that I sing when I enjoy His everyday blessings...
Who am I that a KING would bleed and die for?
Who am I that He would say NOT MY WILL THINE LORD?
The answer I may never know why HE ever loved me so
That to an old rugged cross He'd go For who am I?
I am a sinner saved by grace...
Another part of a song.....
Because HE LIVES I can face tomorrow, Because HE LIVES all fear is gone, Because I know HE HOLDS the future, and life IS WORHT THE LIVING JUST BECAUSE HE LIVES..............
I can't sing that song without tears because I know how much God loves me even in my sins that He sent His Son to die that I may LIVE.....John 3:16
We can let the simplest things cause us to DOUBT..to cloud our hearts and minds and souls. We can allow the simplest things to let Satan detour us from obeying God and thus missing out on the many blessings that GOd has in store for us as well as missing the opportunities to be effective witnesses for HIM.
Last night I almost missed a message of growth that God intended just for me to hear all because of the way my hair looked. I was wondering what other people might think about it or say about it when that shouldn't have mattered at all. It was a way of Satan to try to keep me from the House of God. PRAISE THE LORD IT DIDN'T WORK... Because as I looked at myself in the mirror I saw a child that God loved, A child that God has given new life to, a child that is on a journey home...HEAVENS HOME where I can lay at Jesus' feet all the crowns and say to Him face to face THANK YOU for bringing me through it all, and thatnk YOU for loving me so much that you never gave up on me even when at times I had given up on everything...I told Satan that he would not win the victory over me, that I would not allow him to stop me from the blessings of God and that GOD IS IN CONTROL. AGAIN PRAISE GOD BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I HAD TO WALK TO CHURCH IN PAIN, I RECEIVED WHAT GOD HAD INTENDED FOR ME AND THERE THE VICTORY WAS WON.......PRAISE GOD.
Now let me share this with you. yesterday my daughter got news that she may have cervical cancer and that she needs a biopsy done. Days before that people who have it in for my son-in-law called the welfare office on them saying all kinds of lies. this is the second time this has happened both times all lies, as God is my witness none of what they reported is true. Since I have been back in the arms of God and Growing in His Grace I have spent more and more time in prayer. Why? Because I see so many people diying and on their way to an eternal pit of hell. I don't want to see that I desire that they all just as Jesus and our Father in Heaven desires that all should come to Him, but many have no one to pray for them so I have been compelled by God to pray pray pray and since I have there are many answered prayers...and with it many trials many times I have wanted to throw in the towel...but that would be giving victory to Satan...NO WAY..God is in controil and if we keep the faith we win the Victory in Jesus.
Many times I get my eyes off of Jesus and see all that others have, Hun, I have lost just about all that I have ever owned either in 2 fires or because of moving from state to state to help my children or others. Sometimes I have looked back and felt sad because I have so little (earthly things) but then I look on the inside of my heart and see that I in fact have all that I need, all that I really want...JESUS I am more rich more blessed then so many people and for that I am greatful. So please don't look for the richness in this life look for the rewards in Heaven. GOd is our Father He knows what we need and when we need it. HE WILL BLESS YOU please keep your eyes open to the many blessing that He showers on us every minute of everyday...
Mark 11:20-26
v.22 And Jesus answered and said, HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
v.23 For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall NOT DOUBT in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
v.24 Therefore I say to you, what things soever ye desire, when ye shall PRAY BELIEVING that ye receive them, and ye shall have them
NOTE: WE MUST HAVE A FORGIVING SPIRIT:
v25 and when ye stans praying, FORGIVE, if ye have ought against any; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your tresspasses.
v26 But uf ye do not forgive neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your tresspasses....
FOOD FOR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER:
HAVE FAITH IN GOD
FORGIVE OTHERS
NEVER CEASE TO PRAY
BELEIVE AND RECEIVE
LET OUR HEARTS DESIRES BE IN TUNE WITH GOD
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PRAY , NOT MY WILL BUT THIN LORD BE DONE!
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN SO YOU DON'T MISS THE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS IN ANSWERED PRAYERS.
KEEP YOUR EYES AND HEARTS AND DESIRES UPON THE CROSS OF JESUS.....
I LOVE YOU ALL AND YOU millionaire ARE BEING PLACED ON MY PRAYER LIST.
KEEP ON KEEPING ON AND NEVER GIVE UP HOPE IN JESUS AND HIS RETURN AND HIS REWARDS THAT HE WILL GIVE TO US ON THAT DAY WHEN WE SHALL SEE HIM FACE TO FACE, GIVE NO PLACE TO SATAN FOR VICTORY IS IN JESUS...

Wise words Angelheart and Blindzebra...
when i first started to get back right with God i listened to Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar and Jesse Duplantis......They are very wealthy and i learnt a lot from them....It is very true what Jesus said that His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...it's learning from Gods instruction book/private prayer with Him and meditation supplimented by listening to good teachers and fellowship that helps us grow ...but only when we have given our all to God and be led by the Holy spirit...
I stopped listening to the above ministers after a while as i was focusing too much on the wealth and taking my eye off Christ.....and listened to Andrew Wommack who majors on grace...he has really blest me and his tapes are free if need be..i was very poor then...It is so easy to see these ministers all rich and wealthy saying God wants you blest and rich etc...and that 1 or 2 prayers and you will be like them!!!!!!been there still getting the t shirt....but in reality they didn't say one prayer and wam bam they are millionaires..
if you listen to enough of there sermons/tapes you realise they went through absolute poverty for a long time before there riches came which they are using for the gospels sake!!!!!!
yes there are rogues who are in it just to rip you off...but if you listen to the real ones K copeland etc it's not a get rich quick and they are not saying that....it's just people just focus iin on the wealth bit and don't see the whole picture....
go for peace first with Gods love ...seek the kingdom first and the rest will follow...
Real peace is far better than riches ...
Stay in the faith and His love.and in His word...it takes time..time sooo well invested in your future inheitance.. as Angel heart says ..God sooo loves you just remember that and grow in His love and blessings...
