Please help me!

[pray for me]

Hi,
I am in much need of something and I just can't put my finger on it. I have been seeking the Lord for over 3 years now. I still feel lost and on my way to hell if I don't figure things out. How can I do this?!?, I ask myself all the time. I have been told it is a process that you go through. But, what is that process? I really didn't understand how to be saved when I went to the pullpit that Sunday morning. My life hasn't been the same since. I have become more depressed. Is that part of the process? Is that what Ecclesiastes 1:18 is talking about?
For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. I feel like I am on the edge of a cliff just waiting to be pushed off. I sometimes feel like I am seeking Jesus without His permission, if that makes sence? I have asked Him into my heart numerous times. I still feel as though He is not in my heart yet. What can I do? I have prayed, read my bible lots..if not read my bible, came to this website to learn what I can. This is just an over-whelming feeling. I have even prayed that if it wasn't God having me to seek Him, then, for Him to please take the desires out of my heart. Then, before you know it, I am either reading my bible again, or on here reading and learning all that I can. I feel so miserable! This is very serious stuff. I tell the Lord that I can't continue like this, but I don't want to give up! I've gone too far to turn back now. Please help me! I read alot. Is it possible to over water a plant so to speak? Please be much in prayer for me. I didn't grow up in church, so this is all new to me, 3 years and counting. Please pray that the Lord would remove all doubt from my mind (my battlefield). I want to believe, and I need Him to help me with my doubts. I am sorry for the long post, but where I spend eternity is at stake...Any and all help in this would be greatly appreciated! God have mercy on my soul. Please help my unbelief.

My friend, Have you accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior? Have you taken His sacrifice as your own? If not take a moment and do so now believing that it was your sin He took on that cross and that He will give you new life.
If you have then you must understand a few things about faith.

1.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

2.
Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

3.
2Pe 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2Pe 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

The first verse is plainly telling us that without faith we cannot please Him. The Hebrews never entered His rest because they choose not to trust Him.
Secondly, you have faith as He as given all men a measure of faith. Your faith is not to small as a faith as small as a mustard seed (tiny)
you can move a mountain (Luk 17:6 ).
Thirdly, if Christ is your Lord you lack nothing necessary for your life and walk.
There is not one place after the Book of Acts (the birth of the church) that says anything about lacking faith. WHile the faith you have can be built up (Rom 10:17, Jud 1:20).
Christ indeed called us to respond in simple childlike faith.
Here is your first assignment:
Whatever your trial, query or experience today; whatever comes against you and your faith do this:
Jesus give me strength and wisdom. Now that you have asked take the first step believing He has heard and believing He has empowered you to overcome. Then take the next step doing the same, and the next, and the next. Now you are walking by faith. You are no longer walking in your own strength and those things that used to beat you down have little effect as you trust His power and love.
This is simple childlike faith, believing your heavenly Father hears and love you.
Many blessings in His wonderful Name,
your brother Larry.

Seeking God

Troy a servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Seeking God; I believe that through His word we`ll find and understand His revelation to us. You spoke of in your post wheather or not their was a for say "Formula", perhaps, in a sense there is , but the part that is upon you is that which is your Faith. If there is a right or wrong way, I believe it will include the position of Faith on your part.

1. By faith, through revelation;

A.Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
Eccl 8:17 (KJV)

Here we`re told that we`ll not crafty enough or wise enough to find God. But look at what Daniel say`s;

B. And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
Dan 9:3-4 (KJV)

Look at what Daniel is really saying;"I set my face unto the Lord God", I keep looking to you Lord, How do we look toward the Lord and why?
"to seek by prayer and supplications", Prayer and supplication. Daniel demed it nessasary to fast, the sackcloth and ashes was a way of humbling himself as he went to the Lord in Prayer and supplication. Now look at verse 4, what did he do?

"I prayed unto the LORD my God, and with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: my confession", he knew that he had to speak with God, this was a must in his eyes, he went the limits in order to present himself worthy of such a thing, (with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes, he made what? A confession! What did he ask of God?"keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments";

Look the point is this, Daniel loved God, do you see that? Ask yourself this same question , it`s a good one and all christian should ask this question. Do you love Him, do you keep His commandments, does His spirit abide in you? These are all question that all christian at one point or another should ask themselves, this leads to assurance. This is a good thing.It`s hard and trying, you said something to that effect, right? Look at what James says:

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
James 1:2-4 (KJV)

Now I`ve left that last couple verses to show you how 'Privalaged", you are. Sounds crazy, that`s what I`m saying to my spirit right know, but I hear," shut up and type", learn something that you already know, and rejoice in how I`ll define it in the word of God as absolute truth".

Look at the end of verse 4, what does it say? "that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing". Perfect here means complete, but Lord what if I`m not, what about the place upon the path that I`m traveling and I`m not complete,(Perfect) and I`m left, stuck "Wanting"? This I cried out in a loud scream unto God, and He said through James His servant, verse 5 and 6a:

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering
James 1:5-6a (KJV)

Now we ask "From where and who"? Glade you did, I did to, it`s good to know that I`m not the only one with these type of question`s. But here`s the answers;

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James 1:17 (KJV)

There`s the where and the who. So if this question doesn`t come up, well I`ll bring it up, "What gift"? Hay this is where we started this journey,look uptop; SeekingGod! Hold on, What gift? Next verse johnny,


Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
James 1:18 (KJV)


There it is,"the word of truth". Well how there preacher man what will we get from the word of truth? The " firstfruits of his creatures."

So when we seek God through fasting and prayer, humbling ourselves before Him in our trail and triblation we`ll become complete (Perfect) in the wisdom of God that He gives to those that ask in faith, and we can be assured that this is from the Father of the heavenly light for it is the word of truth, {Known as Jesus Christ}, through revelation to those that are a kind of firstfruit and what are they doing?

Seeking God!_____________________Amen
