Struggling with faith? How to get closer to God: 5 steps.

By jacking maintanence butts

Faith is the "power of total conviction" in the mind, possessing the mind.

Faith arising out of your need to believe in something, because such a belief will serve your purposes in some way, can be powerful and strong.

Belief is even stronger. Belief is the offspring of hearsay and logic. Because you have heard something and been convinced that what you have heard or read is true, you develop a deep belief in what you have heard. You believe it to be true. You believe in a total, complete way which defies contradiction.

Christ was constantly telling people: "Believe you will receive—and you will receive."

However, Christ knew at the time, that it will be almost impossible for most people to ever have the faith which will cause miracles to happen, since no matter how much he or others might explain Truth to them, they will still never have the intense knowing.

Christ's intention was to give us knowledge. Hearsay is when you are told something but you cannot really prove it is true. Knowledge is when you are told something—or read something—and because what you have now heard or read complies logically and realistically with all related items of knowledge already in your mind, and you can understand and believe it in a realistic, logical way, the new information becomes knowledge. You KNOW that what you now "know" is TRUE. You have a sense of "conviction."

Up to this time, people who have faith in "Christ" have become like precocious children. Their faith has been partially blind and accepting, yet interwoven with much doubt. Therefore, whatever they needed to be done for them, they depended on "Christ" for the work to be accomplished. Whereas, in fact, much of what they believe they have derived directly from "Christ" has been their own "faith in Christ" made visible in the form of things asked for.

While this child-like "faith" is very important to our well-being, those who are capable of moving onward on the spiritual path to perfection, must now reach a deeper level of true knowledge of the relation between mind and "matter." Because without this foundation, people will continue to flounder in myths and will be locked into the misery of the human condition.

Thank God that i found this

This is exactly what I needed and I watched a video of yours before this one. This was so helpful! And I know this might sound a bit cringe but it honestly felt like a sign!💗

The thing is that Jesus is just a prophet not God

I know that god exists but i just can't tak to him

This is good

What if the answer to very first question is No? I don’t think I would trust him in person without some effort on his part.

I used to be a happy young kid but as I got to high school and got older things changed. People, friends, life. I’m a senior now and things have changed for the worst. I went from a straight A student all three on my first years to failing all of my classes this semester. The weight just got to unbearable on me. I stopped wanting to work, I got bitter at problems I couldn’t control and ultimately I just can’t let go. The semester’s almost over and Christmas is around the corner and I’m so lost hopeless and just sometimes want to leave it all behind. I don’t know what to do anymore. I hate myself and everyday feels the same. Full of disappointment and hate. I’m calling out to god but it seems that something is blocking the connection. I truly am lost and don’t know what to do. I am calling for help.

PRAISE GOD! I BELIVE THAT JESUS JUST USED THAT WOMEN'S TESTIMONY TO SAVE SO MANY LIVES TODAY!!!

Faith is based on evidence; Jesus rose from the dead and appeared to over 500 people. Thomas was blessed because he saw Jesus and believed, but we are told more blessed is he who has not seen and believes. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. There is evidence, but not proof.

I feel really close to God, but i haven't been baptized. Is that a problem?

I want to thank you for making these videos. My significant other's name is Grace and hearing her name while studying how to practice faith is something that roots me in love and purpose. Thank you so much.

I love your video it’s so helpful right now. You worded everything perfectly good job!!! Keep doing what you doing

Guys can anyone help me out I'm trying to be live in his but I don't know faith like I never felt it or had any and I don't know how to have a relationship with God but I know in my heart I really do and im trying I just need some guidance

Thank you

Having faith is easy. Just remember that god doesnt know less than you. Forbidden fruit stuff😊

Amazing video, except the part about emotions. This trend in polarizing feelings and saying they are bad, is wrong and not accurate. Faith is both feelings and not feelings. Why do we feel the need to make absolute statements like faith and feelings are not related? This happens with humans whenever we are faced with what we interpret as a "two option" decision. It's not simple like that. It's both. Feelings can be good and bad. Pure, holy, righteous feelings are from God and they are good. And they are a part of faith. It's impossible not to feel something at any given moment. Humans always feel. But just like with thoughts, take captive your feelings and give them to Jesus. He will purify them and refine them. And dont say untrue things like faith is not about feelings. It absolutely is about feelings. What you should say is, faith is not just about feelings. You need to realize faith is both non-emotional and emotional. Its both. Faith is choosing to believe in Jesus and follow Him no matter what current emotions you have, but good emtions are a part of faith, always. They are not separate. Faith is both. We need to stop trying to over simplfy things just so that we feel we can understand something that we cant fully understand. Just like love, faith is a choice and feelings. Its both.

Jesus loves u all keep praying

For making women lighter than men physically I hate him

I keep going back to lust and when this video popped up I click on it immediately

I cried.

Confidence = True Faith

I thought I knew how to be a Christian but this video changes a lot.

I just had a horrible fight with my friend who lives on a different continent via text, and I nearly hurt myself.

I'm sorry if you're sensitive to this but I need to talk to someone. Anyone. I've been the one that my friends talked to for comfort, I didn't realize how much I've been hurt.

I don't want to go to the hotline, I want to go to a brother or sister in Christ. I'm just so afraid to do so. Please.

Thank you

It’s so tough for me to stay on fire for God, especially as an Orthodox Christian because there isn’t many people i can turn to for help. Every time i get so close to God, it goes down in a landslide. It never stays steady. It’s so freaking hard. I’m so scared one day that he will come back and he says “depart from me for i never knew you.” I feel him, i just don’t feel worthy. I am truly a disappointment and i will never be enough

JESUS - The Unconditional Love.. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

This is superb

I don’t get it I need advice I want him I want this I want God I WANT JESUS why am I not called I want a relationship I just want to love him and I know I sin and I know I’m weak and I know I’m just a worthless sinner but why won’t he call me I try to do all these things I don’t feel like he’s called me and I’ve been really falling back into sin because of this why doesn’t he love me why doesn’t he want me will I ever get to be with him. Why, I’m tired I’m so exhausted that I feel so dead and I just want to stop.

W video thank you :] 🙏

I’ve really been struggling with finding faith in the Lord and having anxiety about it, thank you 🙏🏻

thank you God bless you

I pray everyday. But I don't feel worthy. Im not good enough. I have let down everyone in my life. I have mental illnesses and Im afraid that is what is causing me to not believe. Im so confused. But I won't give up! I pray God finds me ❤

Asking for forgiveness is more for us than for God. Jesus has already died for every sin that we will ever commit.

This has ipened my mind. I have no idea how much it did, but I know.

At first, i though my self an atheist, but I came to the conclusion that I'm not. Someone who is really an atheist is not afraid of committing blasphemy, but I am. Someone who is afraid of committing blasphemy cannot be atheist.

My problem is the doubt. Doubt complicates everything. Makes what is simple become complicate. I just want to cast away all doubts, without needing concrete proof and say YES! I know that, even tho I'm a man of little faith, God is watching me, helping me, even if the process is painful or difficult. I need to find a way to silence the doubts and simply believe. Without a how, why, who. God is much bigger than that. God simply IS! Period. He is beyond a how, who, what, why. All that means nothing, because God simply is.

{{{}}} The spirit of life be with you {{{}}}

Thank you so much for your video!

I find myself just wavering so much. I believe I have had real faith in the past but recently my faith has felt like phases. Ive just been super stuck and almost just lack the discipline to have a commitment to God and that kills me. Jesus is so good I just almost don't feel like my faith can ever add up to what it needs to be.

Thank you for this. Thank you, Lord for soothing my doubt and worries.

Thank you so much for making this video it's truly helping me❤✝️

I absolutely love your videos man. I’ve showed my girlfriend, and some of my other friends, and I just wanted to say thanks.

I will say, I think sometimes the sound effects can get a little bit distracting… just thought I would let you know

Keep up the fantastic work, and please don’t stop posting these. I’m loving them

When you show the first example for the first step I lowk cry cuz god love me
