To keep my soul unto eternal life

edited October 2012 in Faith Issues
My Grandpa died and I did not shed a single tear for him though I loved him there is something wrong you all always want to escape the world I can see why as Jesus says
"He who loves his life will lose it but he who loses his life for my sake will keep it unto eternal life" I want to be with Jesus so I will forsake all my ambitions if the world does not support it
to gain my eternal life. There is no room for worldly ambitions for the christian faith in this century. If you and the world makes room for my ambitions then I may continue with it but I am going to
leave it to gain eternal life. Atleast I chose to forsake it. I was going to go to a mental hospital for something I did and my life would have been torn from me unwillingly
sometimes it is not God's will to be too involved with the world and sometimes it is.. when it is God executes Justice for His elect by making noone harm them or doing judgement that makes it fair to all humanity and making them prosper even when they in innocence hold certain doctrines without denying them.. abraham and many OT saints were rich. But I should abandon my life and sell all I have to gain the kingdom of God
I am going to leave the world by preaching unashamedly John 3:16 that whoever does not receive Jesus it appears he risks dying in his sins and I will preach Jesus as the only sure way to heaven (i.e because His ways and commands are true) otherwise people will perish and be no more. If they are not offended I will continue with my life and my worldly ambitions
even though I do not believe anyone even knows exacly what God will do there is a great possibility that God wants people to repent now so they must repent now or they will perish
It is a worthy sacrifice because I will live again eternally while still hoping for the disobedient to be saved but that is in God's hands

You are my witness that I have said Not my will LORD but Yours be done. As God is good to all and His mercies are on all who have remorse I believe He is worthy of having my life and submission

The other thing is that even my family and my dad was not too interested in my worldy ambitions anyway which is why I feel even more less foolish

And then Jesus said "Fool this night thy soul will be required of thee and whose will those things be which you have provided?"

Maybe I will even say if you do not accept Jesus you will be seperated from God for all eternity for even that God does not defend my ideas strongly enough as I would like so I should not suffer for trying to get assurance of my soul and others souls and because God does not spread His good news through other people but I can not change the fact that I do not believe the bible says that. I have not even bothered showing people who will not listen
I want God to confirm without a doubt that God is ready to forgive and save all the repentant after death. Otherwise I risk learning I was a fool and it is difficult to please God and live in the world

As you can see I altered the message slightly yet greatly because the things I say appear to be wrong and from satan

Lord have mercy on my soul

  • Hi mikeforjesus,
     
                Are you going to become a monk?

    Hi mikeforjesus,
     
                Are you going to become a monk?


    thats what i was thinking too
  • No I am not going to become a monk I want to get married for love of my father and mother  and posterity but i might end up single because of having socialising problems
    or Gods will highly unlikely

    To be honest I am not giving up anything great as I am not making it in this world because I am lazy and my marks may not mean much and life is short with success unguaranteed

    I just do want people to know the value of every child born into the world that he is a son and daughter of God which means they have been created perfectly and willl inherit all things those who give their hearts and wills to God most assuredly

    Being a monk does not guarantee others salvation
    God leaves no stone unturned those who have room for God then God has found them

    To explain myself better what I am seeking is independence to not need others all the time I would rather be able to share my faith with those who help me instead of being furious with those who will not serve me (or help me as I would like) because they see some of my weaknesses or and therefore reject Christ through me.
    I can work for money and do easy jobs and still support my family and my father has an inheritance though not too large enough to support me. Ideally I would live in the world and trade my talents but if the world is not interested in prospering me and realising the purpose of life for me why should I be defeated and be its slave?

    God said it is not good for man to be alone I will make a helper for him
    He came to give us an abundant life in service to the world rather than torturing ourselves without much good coming out of it
    And instead of thinking God is strict with regard to material things and observances
    He said the meek will inherit the earth. Just as Abraham did. God will execute Justice for the elect that the congregations of the peoples may surround Him and to be fair to all men and not just kind to one type of man

    Who is he who loves life and desires many days that he may see good? let him keep his tongue from evil and pursue peace. For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and His ears are open to their prayers. The eyes of the LORD are against those who do evil to cut off the rememberance of them from the earth

    A life of service to God in the world is good. When you make a feast invite the poor, the lame, the blind for they can not repay you for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the Just

    If I can not strive in my studies how will I strive as a monk where I am beaten for my faults daily  also by my superiors who rob me of the gift of life and their punishments give no benefit! and who remind me I have not wept enough for my disobedient and lazy soul

    Truly I can not serve God and mammon. Though abraham was rich his mind he was not anxious about his life. But to live for unrealistic things how will you have time for God?

    What a greater success is it to see people set free by knowing who Christ is and to rescue the hopeless lost souls that our joy may be full.

    To be able to be a light and to be able to reach the world that His will may be done on earth as it is in heaven

    Otherwise how long will God look on while men destroy the earth?

    A persons life can be destroyed in a moment. All he has built up so our LORD said store up your riches in heaven where no thief approaches
    A mans life consists of more than what he possesses though those possessions are important.
    You might get in a fight and end up with no hand. You might be at the mercy of the mood swings of authorities and be destroyed when you least expect it. Without living lawfully are we not fools? but just as a baby needs time to mature and gain wisdom I do not think we should judge people quickly unless we are incapable of sin and know the way to happiness


  • Matthew 5:13
                        "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses it's flavour, how shall it be seasoned? It is good for nothing but to be throwen out and trampled underfoot by men.

      From the beatittudes, which one is you Mike? Or even more than one. 
  • So are you judging me that I will perish or I will be damned you know it is God's will that I do not get married?
    why is the world in my hands? do you not remember many were saying I am not responsible for other peoples soul but my own?

      From the beatittudes, which one is you Mike? Or even more than one.


    What do you mean what were the options? I do not like being judged by people of your denomination because it seems the judgement is unjust. How can I trust your church knows the way to Guide me to heaven if it does not even seem to think reasonable and how do I know they will be a people filled with zeal in building up others? and that it is a very small remnant in the world. The God who is called the Savior of the World he is going to save only you?
    Remember how strangers in our church are not accepted
  • No judgement, but we judge ourselves sometimes because there is no movement in our life or we don't want movement and when someone asks why, we feel judged.

      As far as I'm concerned, you are a brother in Christ, so you have his love and freedom in which to choose your direction in life.
  • Thanks brother I can see your word was powerful but I have to know you are not trying to harm my life and you are considerate of how frail I am so I am not being controlled by a tyrant God who demands a rare and an unreasonable amount of zeal to enter the kingdom. That is all fine for I should try to do His will. But God demands a reasonable amount of striving not too difficult to enter the kingdom. He said he does not tempt us beyond what we are able and that He is not like those jews who put burdens hard to bear but His yoke was easy and light
    Even we will condemn ourselves if we do not enter the kingdom
  •   Our church invokes the Holy Spirit, whether it is a monk or a priest or anyone from the church, and this is the help we get from God. We repent our sins for they are a burden not only to our life and to others as well.

      I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your grandad. My prayers are for him.
  • I look on guilt as a lesson for my conscience, what is right and wrong, and if it was never in my nature to be able to change some things then I know God is forgiving as is his mercy. It is the human nature that is weak, but it is that which we leave behind when we pass and join in the spiritual nature. It is your desire to be with God in the weakness of your human nature that you rely on his mercy, which is ever abundant.

    God cares about you, more than the ones who are strong, and hears the ones like you, to seek them and lift them.
  • Amen

    Please remember me in your prayers as I wander as a blind man forgetting what Jesus has done for me and that I be prepared as the 5 wise virgins and not be ashamed before Him at His coming

    Thankyou for praying for my Grandad. I wish you would grow in trust that God will not leave you or forsake you but that when mum and dad forsake you God is with you

    Bye as I wander off to my studies (which is what I have to be doing)
  • How does one become the Salt of the Earth? Am I guaranteed to be so if I become a monk?
    I have been in spiritual trials that no man could ever help me but God alone
  • A righteous person swears to his own hurt and does not change

  •   You already are the salt of the earth, which is not dull or bored with life and know it is a trial in which we strife. If the salt loses it's flavour then how shall it be seasoned? You are living the trial of life, so there is flavour and you are been seasoned by God every time you succeed in a trial. If not , then you are been trampled under foot by men who are of this world and if they aren't spiritual then you know who you truely obey in your heart and not your mind.
  • I will however not yap my beliefs when it is not the right time but when I have a proper chance
    when I see living in the world is futile and not fair
  • I change my mind that is foolish
    It is God's will to work
    He made 6 days for work and 1 for resting in the LORD

  • That's ok Mike.  I have a family, so I have to work. Since I work with people who don't have my faith, I keep it in my heart as not to make an issue, but to just be good and help when I can.

     

       
     
  • Thanks my friend
  • When I said sell all my stuff I did not mean literally but everything that makes me greedy and has part of my heart that God should have
    For the apostle Paul said if any man does not work he shall not eat and this is what Solomon says also
    Not that I will never use my parents money
    God did not command difficult things "the word is near you in your heart"
    "my yoke is easy and my burden is light "
    "all things are lawful.."
  • Eternal life is conditional on repenting and not being a murderer for too long a time or too often
    "who shall abide in the tabernacle of the LORD ? He who has..."
    Psalm 15

    However all things are possible to God

    He seeks the lost

    "there is no more death nor crying .."

    This mortal must put on immortality


    I am happy to have everlasting life long length of time
    100000000 of years in God's presence as long as is right
  • My sheep hear my voice and i give them eternal life they shall never perish My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of My Fathers hand
