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: MAMAMETAL, We get answers everyday one way another. The question that arises is are we listening. God doesn't ignore any of us. You say that after fifty years you finally heard from The Holy Ghost. If I may interject, If you are truly a disciple of Jesus Christ His Spirit has been with you all along. Col 1:27, Acts 2:38. What are your expectations when you pray. Consider Phil 4:19 when you are praying. God may not answer as you expect but I can guarantee you what ever the answer, It will be for His glory and your good. Ro 8:28,29. In Him, lionheart |
