How to change?

Spurgeon missed seminary because the college maid showed him into the wrong interview room...

(But it didn't seem to do him any harm at all...)

Look up all Spurgeon's sermons on the internet... :)

I have better things to do than read all of Spurgeon's sermons, to confirm your claim. If you cannot point me to the page on the internet, I can only assume that it is hearsay on your part.

He also missed the Gospel. Sad, Seminary may have helped him!

A lot of people need to keep their mouths shut because every time they open it they put their foot in it. And it does say that silence is golden.

so true i am one of those people that needs to shut up i said a lot of things

it feels like i said a lot of stupid things that makes me think that it's better to just keep quiet than to say a those words

Actually Jay, @farouk seems to be correct...this is just one small para. from just one of many sites confirming but...there is more to the story, of course :)

"6. Spurgeon missed being admitted to college because a servant girl inadvertently showed him into a different room than that of the principal who was waiting to interview him. (Later, he determined not to reapply for admission when he believed God spoke to him, “Seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not!”)

Grace is a wonderful thing. We all need it one way or another and so do those with a superior attitude.

uhm so you are saying we should not nvm nvm

but who do you think you are for you to say that was the old but all things are new

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

ohh

let not the enemy keep me in the old?? old testament? old commandments? so we can now kill a person? without disobeying the commandment that we should not kill

contradictions?

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

says who? paul?

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

says who? christ himself

isn't the old testament also the will of God which is the old you are talking or was it?

double minded..... i don't think any human can help me the others said the same thing
i should just quit cboards i am asking for help but the way others see me they don't see me as asking for help but something else **sigh** a liar and a hypocprite i am

Hi FB,

"double minded..... i don't think any human can help me the others said the same thing <--- I agree, no human can help you, it is all between you and Christ alone. Until total surrender comes from you, you won't find His Peace that "surpasses all understanding" - which is way different than the worlds "peace". This is faith in action, believing Him for EVERYTHING! So, without faith, it is impossible to please Him.

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." <--- You don't have to be a scholar to seek Him diligently, it simply takes an open heart, with repentance and sincerity. So, if we're anxious then, we are not exhibiting real faith...it becomes lip service. But if we leave our concerns, whatever they are, with Him with trust that He will find a way where you see none BUT...not without faith :)
Hebrews 11:6
6 "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;..."
James 1:6,7


i should just quit cboards i am asking for help but the way others see me they don't see me as asking for help but something else **sigh** a liar and a hypocprite i am"

Lol, we are all hypocrites at one time or another IMPO.

I hope you will find rest, true rest in Him FB.
God Bless

why is it that i am growing with impetience and growing with hate as i was searching for answers that i can seem to find because this is the last day i will be able to log in here because i am going to a remote place and start a new life

Because you won't find a satisfactory answer here. All the forum posts in the world arn't going to change you on the inside. That takes the work of the Holy Spirit on a surrendered heart. It is never easy because the old life is comfortable, in that it is familiar. But God knows there is something better for you, and you know it too, and that is why you are frustrated.

Just trust the Lord, FB. If you keep trusting Him, He will take care of everything. There is no problem too big for God, including your own weaknesses and fears. And if you like being a part of this community, I promise you the Lord will eventually help you find a way to get back here and fellowship with us again. He's bigger than any problem, so just keep trusting Him and praying to Him.

Prayer and Fasting helps too, it is something to consider.

There is something to be said for the words of our mouth here, Funny Bird. Try to stop reinforcing the confession that you are growing more and more impatient and hateful. Just take some time out to pray, and ask the Lord to fill you with His Spirit, because the fruit of the Spirit is Love, and Peace, and Kindness, and Patience.

it seems i can't quit pornography

FB, if that's what is troubling you so much then let me assure you that it's a battle MANY Christian men have had to fight, and it's like fighting Godzilla and King Kong and the Abominable Snowman all rolled into one, LoL.

Like I said, just keep trusting the Lord. It may take you YEARS to overcome it, but the Lord will not forsake you if you just keep walking with Him and trusting Him for His mercy and His grace, and keep believing that the day will eventually come when you are finally delivered.

Ok?

i can't quit pornography

Also, don't take on unnecessary guilt, when you masturbate without porn or promiscuous fantasy.

A fast can make it easier to practice self-control. It is also an opportunity to become more reliant on the Spirit of God.

Decide on a fast that you will be able to perform safely, where you give up things of this world that indulge the flesh and give them up. It may be a partial fast, so as not to put too much burden on your body or mind.

While fasting pray for the same specific need every day; expect a clear answer but nothing specific, let God work how he wills. Read the bible, his word is food for the Spirit. It may be impossible to keep the fast totally secret, but tell only tell those who will notice and need to know to avoid worry. Set a period of time in advance, because the fast can not go on indefinitely. For long fasts set conditions under which you may temporarily break the fast, such as social gatherings you're expected to attend.

And if you should falter again do not worry; God is indomitable and you will overcome.

i did start to quit when i was away then when i got back home i started to doubt yet again

now i am starting to climb again and have faith again
this lockdown there's a scheduled time where one needs to stay inside and one can go out that's why i am staying home for 3 days and will be back to that place again

when i was at that place i could not even think of God because of the hardship i am facing it was too hard for this weak body that only knows how to use the technology and rely on the technology the weather is too hot it was about 28-45 degree celsius so i started to just rely on myself more than on God and started to doubt if i asked God to make the wind blow will God give it to me while i am in the middle of a rice field where a lot of people praying that there should be no strong wind because the crops will lie down

i am just one will God listen to just one while i am against all of course not so i did not rely on God thinking will God give me an impossible request of course not my doubt started to grow does God really exist... and it grows even more i just ignored it sooner or later there would be something... and this something is probably this i got my little faith back
