How does God help us?

NrgDfenz, Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not bragging about my relationship with God. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you are anyone else can have much more than I do if you can just obtain the information that will guide you there. If we can come to God with an honest heart truly desiring His help He will help us to understand His real truth. Gods real truth is the only thing that will ever get us where we need to go. If God can give some preacher information to teach is flock then God can give that same information directly to you. Its all about honesty. You cannot con God out of anything. It is what you think within your mind that God looks at not the words you speak. You can lie to God or anyone else with your words but you can't with your thoughts. The strongest prayer you will ever pray is within your thoughts. God is always 100% honest with us and he expects the same from us. You always know the real truth about your true feelings in your thoughts. Your personal relationship with God should be kept between you and Him. It's no one else business. Once God Anoints you then man's teaching of you is finished. Also Remember God can get through to you and teach you His truth even before you are Anointed. He can help guide you to a position where He can Anoint you. Here again Jesus is our example of this. Jesus was Not Anointed with the Holy Spirit until the day he was Baptized yet you can be sure God taught Him a lot before that day.

I agree with you. Most often instead of God just doing something for you He will teach you how to do it for yourself. Remember every thought you have, every word you speak and every move your body makes is always totally controlled by your human brain. Most often what you think, say and do is determined by where your information came from. If the information came from God you will be fine but if it came from any other source you may not. Know this, doing for ourselves is fine and the way it should be but only if we are relying on God to guide us. Doing things for ourselves without God's help is what has put us in the mess we are in now.

Jake, If you are correct then the Bible is all a lye. You say God doesn't teach us anything and then you say He encourages us and congratulates us. Wouldn't you think that would be a form of teaching? No man can tell you "Who God is, Where He is or how He got there". One day we will know the answer to that question plus a lot more but not as long as we have two feet planted on this earth.

Everything God has ever done has been for man's benefit one way or the other. Very often we don't understand God's reason for doing something and then we think he was wrong. It would help if we were in a position where God could explain to us why he did or didn't do something. Also very often we accuse God of doing something and He wasn't the one that did it. If you don't know by now that God works for your benefit then you need to get serious about your relationship with Him. We also need to try to do everything we do in a way that God will be pleased with us. Then if we ask him for something we really need the odds are real good we will get it from somewhere. Like you suggest God may have to point us in the right direction and it will be up to us to go get it but we will have it.

Don't feel like you are alone. Very few people that call themselves Christians actually know beyond any doubt that God truly is real. I know it beyond any doubt for the simple reason he has proven it to me more than once. I base my faith on fact not just what I believe to be true. I say you have every right to feel as you do. After all there are supposed to be people that can show you God's power and prove to you He is as real as you are.
