Why are born again Christians so happy ? I’m happy for them. Truly. I want people to be happy. But my walk with Christ has been full of sorrow.

:(

...@ YOUTUBE moderateMuse SERMON ON THE MOUNT (MATTHEW 5 - 7)...

You'll find out why on the other side. Not only will it make sense and you will agree with it (because of the alternative consequences) but it may have nothing to do with you.

People who are happy on the outside are often very depressed. Look at comedians. It's also why people are shocked when people commit suicide because they only see what's outside.

The Harpazo is getting much closer. Cheer up.

Your testament rings true.

I do believe the walk is a difficult one. The ones smiling all the time might have their reasons.

Maybe they are on the smiley section of the path.

Some of us in life shoulder the burdens of many. Perhaps you are more blessed than you realize.

The authentic Christian walk, in this fallen world will have sorrow. How do you reckon Jesus had it, here on earth? The Bible is full of stories of suffering people.

This is not our home. It's a sick and sad place, for now. Yes, the true walk is tough friend. Mine too. It's real. It hurts to be in this world. Supposed to.

But, count it all for joy because He overcame the world. We are to glory in tribulations. Always praising his perfect will and plan for us.

This is a beautiful promise of God. I can't believe He wants me either. Hang in there because it's all for God's glory. He loves us dearly.

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jer. 29:11

Read the lives of the Saints, all they did was suffer. Speak to a priest, pastor, minister depending on your faith. These people were called to their positions and may just have what you need, even if it’s just a kind word God works through them.

your one of the real Christians then, these smiley, ones are waiting for the fake rapture, and living lies in the world, why aren't these smiley ones praying for you and each other?, because there fake, , we need to pray for each other, wheres the book of acts in any of these fake Christians?, god bless you.

You are not alone. Stay the course, run the race of faith. Apparently we have what it takes.

Count it all as blessings, the weak made strong, he is strongest at your weakest.

A Man named Job.

Some say it is the "oldest" written book of the Bible.

Job tried and probably did most things right.

Jehovah God pointed him out to Satan.

Satan tested him.

Satan took away his kids.

Satan took away his property.

Satan took away his health and left him suffering.

His friends said he must have done wrong.

His Wife said "Curse God and die!"

Job stayed with Jehovah God.

Jehovah God rewarded him with more than Satan

could take away.

When you try to do right... you will be attacked.

We Must Still attempt to do right and Obey Jehovah.

I pray for Christians struggling more than once a day.

I have had some mighty struggles. Jehovah never left me.

I still have some minor struggles.

The Victory is already Won.

All we have to do is stick with Jehovah God.

The Battle Belongs to God.

Ignorance is bliss

Since church is out for a lot of folks, go pull up some newer Christian devotional music (like on youtube) and sing for 2 hours a day. Having the "joy of the Lord" is normal for a Christian.

9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. 10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. 11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. 12 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make9- great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
Nehemiah 8:9-12

9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Romans 15:9-13


Don't let the Destroyer steal your victory.

So what are you doing to serve others?

Why?

What seems to be your major malfunction?

Does it not make you only want His Kingdom all that much more??

Why are you angry?

What do you care what I believe?

I went through a period in my life that was full of hart ache and misery, spousal betrayal, divorce, financial problems, etc. etc. etc. and at the time it was not fun, and I kept praying to God, what is it that I'm doing wrong? Why?

In hind sight,

Although, I think there were some things about my character that needed adjusting but through all the problems God was teaching me, refining me, and I learned a lot about things I would never have been able to learn if I hadn't gone through those trials in life. I call it being battle hardened. There's nothing going to take me down.

God was with me through it all and I believe I have a closer relationship with Him.

I came to a point that the worldly things are not that important to me, and all I really need is my daily needs met, and with this frame of mind, I live in the peace of God.

I believe we are entering into a period in time that if you are not "battle hardened for Christ" and have a strong relationship with Him, You may not make it, and will fall to the Devil and his plan, which will separate you from God for eternity.

We are probably already in the last 7 year period, and if not already, we are very close to entering that period...and the rapture is just around the corner.. months, not years...

Stay strong in the faith in Christ, the things of this world are passing away, very soon.

Come Yahoshuah, come quickly.

This planet is not where we will spend eternity. Regardless of what we go through here, we look forward to a life in eternity where there is no sorrow or pain.

Matthew 10:27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.…

All of that is on YOU. You need to come to the core of what life is about to understand. Stop praying for yourself and pray for others. Stop living for yourself and live for others. A huge part of why we’re happy is because we have families that we love and provide for, it’s a very enriching feeling. We know that this life and it’s sufferings are temporary. People will always use god as a last resort when it should be your first.

Good luck, I hope one day you can experience this side of life.

You moron. You have your tongue shoved up Lucifer's butthole.

There are other threads for people like you? Why did you have to spill your hate here?

And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Ecclesiastes 1:18

When you fully understand that everything is done, by and through Him, then you will have joy. You can then let go on your side (from worries, anxieties, wondering) and see Him.

Then stop listening. A lot of “Christians” just do it for others to see. The truth is that when you’re dead you will see you are just now becoming alive. Jesus wants followers, not fans. It takes action. Words don’t mean shit.

I respect your opinion, and it's your right to believe or not. I agree with you that religion is a tool to control zombies.
