Bible Question: I know little about scripture, I have felt the Holy Spirit. I am saved. I am miserable, lonely, depressed, sad. I can't hear Jesus when I pray and I have given up. I talk to Jesus all the time (like right now). "Knock and I will enter" "Ask and you will recieve" I have begged on my knees . I have done EVERYTHING I can think of. (for years) I am actually disgusted when I think about not EVER getting answers. If the Lord is speaking to me and I am just not hearing or understand, I have asked Him to Please make it clear, I have begged Him not to make it so hard for me to hear him. I have the right to speak to my Lord. I have a right to be answered. Our family is not one that has been raised in the Church, I am referred to as the "Bible" "God" etc person of the family. Nothing will ever make me give away my belief and salvation (even if I never again feel i have comunicated). I know He hears me everytime I speak and I know He is aware of everything I feel, think or do. The Lord knows every hair on my head. Can you tell me why I dont hear anything from my God? I ask why and I am told I am getting answers but i am not listening. Sure, I see the beautiful earth, I see the awsomeness in a child. I know I am a creation of God. I want and need something personally. I waited 50 years and I finally got a visit from the Holy Ghost, I was on high for several days but that eventually went away. I have asked so many times and in every possible way I know for help to open my ears. I am so desperate I am asking someone I dont know, through a computer keyboard. I wont take advice from just anybody but I have been a member for several years and I will take into consideration the answere I get from this site. I think it's pethetic that I should resort to this. What advice do you have for me? |
Bible Answer: Shalom Mamametal, First off, "dup question" is just a shortened way of tagging a question as a duplicate question. Azure's tagging of it not only keeps the home page clean, it alwo eliminates the confusion of following 2 identical threads and getting several "dup amswers", lol. I'm only going to address your very first statement - "I know little about scripture". Psa 37:4 Then you will delight yourself in Adonai, and he will give you your heart's desire. My interpretation of this scripture is NOT that He will give someone that new Farrai they've been desiring, rather, God Himself will give someone a thing to desire and then He will bring that desire to reality. But to know whether or not something you are wanting is in His will you have to know His word. It is thru His word that He speaks to us today, not thru prophets on the street corner, or thru thundersings and lightenings (not that He never uses these methods today, they're just rare). It is in His word that we learn what to want and desire. We also have to keep in mind that He answers prayer in His own time, not on our timetable. Look how long Abraham had to wait for his promised Isaac! I'm sure Abraham's idea was "in the next year or so God? I mean, look at me here..." I'm sure everyone reading of your distress will be joining me in prayer for you. Start reading the Scriptures (if reading is difficult for you thate are websites that have the bible in audio that you can listen to online), but He is speaking to you loudly and clearly right there in His word. He wants you to know Him and hear Him. :o) |
