Page Up And Running,
Always Under Construction
It is my intention to cover or try to tackle an opinion in The Lord on other questions
but I am preparing this under construction in mind of questions that are or have been
asked to me. Please do not take it as I mean to promote one way over another though one way is
mine personally and God works on that for me and me with Him. It is my hope as a person who
wants to think of himself as Christian that for Jesus and with Him God could use me, advise by
me, lead to the complete opposite of what He gives me or forgives in me, by His power to Save,
to Bless, to Correct, way more powerful than mine and my want for others who want to find Him
and in the way He wants and they want. Unfortunately my experience so far as a Christian has
shown me that coercion to what others want is the way they advise and secretly plan or plot for
a person needing help or not even asking for it themself. In fact I have even seen myself
factored into their corceion and helping of someone that their trust and faith in me as fair
to them worked against them choosing for themself. With that in mind God has said test the
spirits. It is okay to ask God not just for help but if the help is His and from whom you think
it is from and even if they are telling the truth of their help to you if you have asked or even
not asked.
If You're in trouble or need God to help with difficult situation
that scares you or you don't understand,
or why others act the way they do about it
A scripture to think about might be.
God resists the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.
Therefore humble yourselves under the
mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you
in due time, casting all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you.
Are you the proud God resists or are others the proud He resists?
Am I the proud He resists even though I am doing this and think I know
that God can resist the proud?
Maybe God will show me something too that He may help me with the help I as well need that I may give to Him also.
(1) God and whom to date? Should you ask God to provide or just hope it's from Him when you want to?
(2) How far should you go or not go? And saying no or not yet is okay.
(3) Should you listen to pressure of others,
being made fun of, to get you to do more than you want to,
more than you feel ready for, or feel God wants for you?
(4) When do you think you'll be ready?
If you feel you're not ready because it's not right with God that's okay. If you feel you're
saving sex until you know God is ready and you have the right person that is great too.
However, if you think about when God might be ready and your looking into the future does not
show you a time when God is ready that might signal there could be a problem or a problem coming
because even if God is not ready now He may have instilled an idea that He will be ready for you
and sex at some point. If you see that point and don't want it I would think you should feel that
the time will come when you will want it. If you still do not think you will ask yourself, "Is
there some reason why I don't want God to be ready."
If some disastrous reason to you comes to your mind do not panic just remember that God says:
See, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too hard for me?
Even though God was not talking about dating, relationships, family, friends, or sex at the time
He said this He did say He is the God of all flesh. That means of your flesh too and mine. And
God said is anything too hard for me?
I believe God meant is any problem, disastrous or not to you, too hard for God to handle?
God is not bragging but He is saying if you can at least trust Him with the problem, to know at
least what it is, it won't be too hard for Him to help you with it even solve it.
This means to me if you thought of a problem looking into the future and still did not think you
would want dating, marriage, or sex because that is the problem God probably does not want you to
rush out in a panic and try to force fix the problem. Relax for a second and think about how God
maybe God might want you instead to ask Him for His help with what you think is the problem. What
words might He want you to use in asking Him, how to ask Him, when to ask Him. Think about how
soon should you expect an answer from God and maybe think about how you think God will answer.
Maybe you could think about not only God's answer but the method God might use to answer.
If you think the problem is truly serious tell God you think it is a serious problem. If you
think it's your fault tell God you think it's your fault. Ask Him if you're right. God may say
"yes", God may say "no". If God says "yes" it is your fault still do not panic God may mean you
did something else or someone else could have which has brought the thing you think is a problem
to you.
Most importantly when God has the door open to conversation with you you're on your way to God
Helping what you think is a problem be solved.
(5) What if you think you are gay or homosexual or some worse word for it?
Could be, could not be.
I am of the opinion, I've got no facts to back this up, that just about all of us can see whether
someone of our own sex is nice to us and/or in appearance. Plus I believe God's making of the body,
male or female, is a special creation by God. When we see that unexpectedly it may shock us,
scare us, disappoint us, especially if it doesn't go away. Then we start to compare our body to
what we saw in someone else or maybe before we've already been comparing and presto all of a
sudden we're sure we're one and don't know what to do.
Add to that God may have in His mind that He has created a work of art in our bodies and what if
He appreciates you noticed and liked His work. Even in your own sex. He may have decided on the
spot to give you that or He may have decided years before you noticed He would eventually show you
His work and give it to you.
If you think you are gay, homosexual, or some other word, don't panic and do anything disastrous
to change it or kill it. Relax, think about what does God want me to learn from these feelings?
Are they permanent or will they change? if they don't or aren't how does God want me to live,
love, honor Him?
I would not go out on my own thinking anybody I like is okay with me liking them even if I know
they are or think so. some people are so scared of God over this they could try to kill you to
keep those feelings from becoming true for them or if they do have them from getting out of their
control and them being that way. Additionally the Bible says we must not do that yet I believe
God has made provision for it when He wishes and all is right with Him. What I mean is God must
give even if you need badly. Only harm to you and others can come from taking from God
without Him and/or without His say so. And quite frankly with the way Jesus suffered
and died for us God truly has every right to say "no" for any reason He would like. As well God
is the only one who can say "yes". God is the only one who can say "only" when you do not want it
and/or others do not want it for you.
If you're hit on by someone who is you don't want or are not ready for ask God to help and lead
you with what to do about them and or to get ready for whom God would want for you. Let God help
with whom to choose, how to handle friends, work, parents (they will need special help too),
others who want you to be like them who are not and others who are. Remember there is a way that
pleaseth God and a way that does not in other things there probably is a way that dos not please
Him in this. Ask God to show you the way that pleaseth Him.
Maybe you feel you should have waited or even have chosen the wrong partner or the wrong sex
for you?
I would suggest you talk to God right away because holding on until you're better or happy might
not be His solution. Inside God writes His Laws on your Heart but most likely they are personal
to you as in God wrote His Law for you on your heart. Therefore if you've done what everyone else
or others have done or said was right it could be you've violated The Law God wrote on your Heart.
Examine it and what you feel not what you see of others like you and see if God wants you to go
back or hold on until He has time and will to help you fix it.
This is I think trusting God not to rush Him once you think you know His answer.
God may have recently fixed something for you you thought you never could or something only He could fix. God will not be running out on you before you can receive what you need or ask and neither will God be arbitrarily, that means just for fun, changinig His mind about helping you or giving to you what He has said and shown you is His will. Relax let the fear of sin go away that you have long lived with and just enjoy knowing God and His Love. God will get you with that special person or doing that special job or whatever special He has in His plans for you.
This is the place where I think I would ask:
Most likely God will be ready to Grow In Grace more with you right at the time you are. If He isn't maybe He knows you need to ask for more time or you need a push because you can't get away with stalling. For me God treated that like lying to Him.
This is the best way to get God to think, "You need to learn a lesson on who is really boss here before you do what I say." Whatever it is you want and are not getting or don't want and are getting I have advice for you. Say yes to God then He may be later almost begging you to take from Him what you wanted.
And P.S. you don't get the option of saying when you're forgiven. When God says you are your saying you're not forgiven even to yourself will not count. I have experienced this too when God put me in trouble when I refused to believe myself forgiven. I understand much better now that really I am not to question God's honesty or His Authority as God over me to be the only judge. That does not mean God won't ever tell you or show you something incredible or that your own facts question. This is when I still question God and maybe you should but ongoing, I won't believe or accept, questioning brings trouble. There are two Gods in that situation. The real one and you. The real one should win for your best interest and that of others.
Now that you've gotten through some of all this with or without trouble you still may be asking but something still does not seem to be like me or quite right or you do not feel willing to be so open or honest with friends, family, and strangers. Maybe it is kind of time to rely on The Lord and know yourself, your own self, whom you've always known just a little bit more. One way to do this is by film where you can sit back not in the actual situation while you're watching something you might need to know about for yourself, for a friend or for whomever.
Just in case you do reach conclusion you are gay there is a very good film a little more adult than Billy Elliot which deals with the trials and tribulations of self-discovery, first love, love lost and the future. There may be concerns with this film by the young or teens and even the adult who sees it because it is set and told during Edwardian England and its' conservativeness and punishment. I do think most people teen or older would porefer a modern day setting but I like it for the opportunity it offers to shape a growing person toward God, love and sharing including sex in a more careful and much, much less go for broke promiscuous way our current society is like about sharing and letting everything out even doing so for effect shoving our doings into the faces of others or having theirs shoved into ours because we are thought the same when in manner or how we are or want to be in our own we are not. Or shoving and showing promiscuity might be a way of scaring us into sex with someone we would not choose because their way or habits are just not appropriate to our own. In some ways we might think God might allow us being minor friends or co-workers but for us personally HE would not allow more or anything in our faith that was intimate or actually sex sharing.
Still with the knowledge and ability to in God we could accept ourself but just be a little more conservative in our manner and how much is necessary to be shared while still remaining Christian and not influencing others to just bypass the truth of what God wants for them which may not be the same as HE wants for us, male-female. And we should not make fun of that if there is fear or concern just as we didn't need that when we were trying to figure out what God wanted for us or would do for us in HIS Joy.
I think the film 'Maurice, pronounced Morris is a fine film of an example of manners. Its' timing just lacks the comfort of any acceptance which could be available today carefully. Maurice may also ge a good film to show parents or help friends with who need help understanding you or understanding themselves. Just be ready if someone thinks it is a pickup or an accussation of doubt about them.
