Nothing but questions

I had a feeling that the feeling of victory would not last. Yesterday was good. Today feels pointless. More wondering, more confusion, lack of concentration, will power, energy, and purpose. Pointless day. Apathetic, said, tired, and unmotivated ( Read more... )

What's the difference between ok and perfect?

if my response to "how are you doing?" was "perfect", then that would mean that I am fully in communion with God %100 of the time with no sin, always at peace, giving out my love to others with no selfishness, being in complete unity with Christ's body in every way, and be totally joyful despite the conditions around me ( ... )

I challenge, lovingly of course, that your definition of "OK" is closer to "comfortable ( ... )

I would like to point something out. You said that unless someone could "heal me from the mindset of pointlessness" then half assed attempts wouldn't do any good.

This post seems to be a lesson in pointlessness. That God cannot reach out to you except through counseling or meds. I'm sure you don't think that, but if, while asking people to help you break a pointless mindset, you are living in that pointless mindset, you will see all attempts as pointless. You have to stand before you can start walking. We can help you stand, but at some point you have to choose to stand against the hopelessness.

I love you

Amen.

Just about every time Jesus has walked me thorugh something (especially deep stuff) the second step (after realizing that there's a problem) is choosing to stand against it. The healing process stalls until I do that.

Jess if you know that you are dealing with a mindset (possibly a spirit) of pointlessness, then you can no longer be the judge of what has a purpose - unless you hear something from God one way or the other, in which case you should stand on that despite your emotions.

I'm excited for our meeting today. See you in class.

Remember, my dear....God will set challenges in our lives....but not all of those challenges are necessarily spiritual warfare. AKA mono...or deployment. Some things aren't supposed to be prayed away. "I prayed three times for God to remove (the thorn)...He replied 'My Grace is sufficient for thee'".

If you're feeling down, sleepy, tired, or pointless....it's may be because of spiritual warfare. And it may be the simple fact that you're sick. Seriously ill. So ill that Nick still has relapses of mono once in a while...So don't discourage yourself, my love....it is perfectly acceptable to sleep, to not feel like doing anything, and to not accomplish anything. God has set a new sort of challenge in your path.....because His Grace is sufficient for you.

I love you.

I'm at a loss for the right words to say. After 'revival' here and many people had demons cast out and a lot of healing happened. People started leaving the church, there was a LOT of 'bad blood' if you will. Why? Because all the stuff that happened wasn't God just magically fixing everything... it was Him helping us... We were able to see what was wrong. And you see after people just expected things to be all better. Nothing was supposed to be wrong anymore. What they didn't realize was they needed to do the next step. They needed to stand, to go to that doctor, do that school project, stand up to that parent, etc...
I love you so much and I wish I was there so I could daily lift you up and talk to you. It sounds like you have some amazing people around you and you always have people praying for you.
You are not useless, you are God's tool! He's just waiting for you.
With all my love <>
