Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
It's about having a relationship with Christ, not other people. My issue was with this quote. What about it? I wouldn't worry Jlay, my "advice" was not even acknowledged anyway. Hey, nobody loses. Hi DannyM, sorry I didn't acknowledge your post. :( I did half agree with what you said. I d...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
Your longing for assurance is evidence that you are saved as well as developing faith. You would not have these otherwise as you description goes way beyond mere curiosity. You have longing. You can rest in the word that Christ gives in John 3:16 and John 10:28, 29. - I hope so B.W. y[-o< Maybe the...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
Catherine, it could be that you are confused in some things regarding the HS, assurance, peace, etc, and how, when, and why we receive them. And just what it all is? According to the scriptures, when does one receive the HS? How? Why? I get the impression on reading the bible that we recieve the Ho...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
Jlay and B.W, thank you for your messages. I'll come back to you tomorrow. It's later than I thought and your messages will need some thought before I reply.
God bless.
God bless.

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
You can distance yourself from people here too, by ignoring them. I guess you dont mind hurting someone else if it makes you feel good. "Hey they are just infidels right! they aren't humans like us!"-sure i admit it i AM a robot. Hey, I'm sorry if I ignored you. I nearly messaged you earl...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
I apologise in advance for psychoanalysing and feel free to correct anything. However could it be your experience with JWs left you spiritually wounded? To the point that such a jarring experience, being convinced of your religious belief to then see through it, left you quite torn faith-wise? Mayb...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
Do you feel that God is drawing you? Also remember that your doubts are just that. Your doubts. I know plenty who have had supernatural experiences and still have doubts. Pharoah had plenty of evidence. What about the Pharisees? How many people saw Jesus work first hand, yet continued in unbelief. ...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
I agree that 'fellowship' is vital. I don't just want to be a 'foot' plodding about. I want to be part of a vibrant 'body' where we help each other. I would just say that the only spiritual experience I am actively seeking is 'assurance' that Jesus is who He claims to be and that I am saved. Jesus s...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
Catherine, I don't think you will always find God in Church or in healings.. I think the important thing to remember is that God wants you to be free.. John 8:32 John 8:36 Galatians 5:1. Blessings to you.. y@};- I'm sure you're right Gman and I'm sure there is a 'church' out there that God will dir...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
Hi Catherine, Sounds like you been to a show man church. I feel sad that you were exposed to such church expereince in the past. Many people leave such disenchanted. If Bobby Ball is who I think he is - he's a comedian - correct? I'll post a link below and hope you can access it. It is for Bible St...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
Thanks guys for all your encouragement and help. I'll wait on God now and trust 'He will not let (me) go' (I hope with all my heart you are right B.W- I do feel like I've let go most of the time). I've had some negative experiences at 'churches' and so I'll pray that God will lead me to a body of be...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
Hi guys, I had a time of prayer Friday night, and B.W gave me a great prayer to start me off. I prayed that God would save me (and my family) and forgive me for every single sin I've ever committed and would give me a new heart and mind. I prayed earnestly for His Holy Spirit to baptize me and thus ...

Re: Coming to Christ: What to make of no spiritual experienc
Thank you Kurieuo for starting this thread. I've just been praying a prayer that B.W has posted for me and I'm going to continue to pray about this. I have asked Jesus into my life in the past, but I think I've always been rather 'half hearted' due to doubts and maybe not wanting to relinquish all m...

B.W, I've been reading your post and praying the prayers. I'm going to go to bed now and continue to pray about all this. Thank you for the time you spend in helping me.
