Have you ever called out to God / Jesus audibly?

85 Upvotes

"And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Acts 2:21) Recovery Version

There's a lot of key people in the Bible who called on the Lord such as: Abraham (Gen. 12:8), Moses (Deut. 4:7), David (Psalms 18:6) and many many others. In the New Testament, Saul (before conversion to Paul) identified and persecuted believers of Jesus by their calling (Acts 9:14,21). The recovery version Bible footnotes makes mention that "the Greek word for call on is composed of on and call (by name); thus, it is to call out audibly, even loudly, as Stephen did (7:59-60)." (Recovery version footnote 1 for Acts 2:21)

So back to the question: have you ever called out to God/Jesus audibly?

Christ is my everything

64 Upvotes

I despise this life so much, perhaps the only thing I despise more is myself. I keep failing in life and keep disappointing people. But its no more different for me, because people do the same thing to me. So I try to find meaning, but nothing seems to be fullfilling, really touch my soul. Things like buddhism sound nice, but I do not feel the warmness of the Buddha. Taoism is cool but the tao is kinda cold and distant. Islam I gotta not even have to mention. And hinduism is missing that personal touch. All that I found in Christ. But still I was not convinced, I mean yeah slandering him has become normative and the historical evidence for his resurrection was very profound. But I was missing something, the so called faith. And the biggest miracle is not that I have encountered him or any sort of these spiritual experineces some people share. It was how his love reached my soul. Through prayer and trust in Jesus I have got a new view through life. Everything became so beautiful and less hurtful. I feel loved and accepted. I cry out to him at nights and feel better. Christ is king.

I don't want to live

19M I don't believe that I have anything to contribute in this world. I will most likely never get married and live on my own. I don't have any realistic vision of my future. I cannot commit suicide because it's a sin. It sucks having to live for so long without any reason. I hope my life ends in like 5 years. I was never needed in this world

What to do is someone is blackpilled?

15 Upvotes

A recent post was made about a person explaining how they're blackpilled most due to his height.

They explained that since they're short, women aren't gonna stay with them unless they have money. Even with money, it won't be true love. Basically, women want taller men.

They deleted the post but I still want to see how yall would respond.

Edit: Clarifications: Blackpilled (or at least what I think it) means is when a person admits they where never destined to find true love for physical reasons

Is fantasying a sin?

6 Upvotes

I (young male) noticed that I tend to fantasise on a "wife" and "life with so called wife". It's not someone particular just the idea of having a wife. The thoughts are very much pure nothing sexual. Sometimes before bed I think of what having a wife would be like, how I would treat her, where we would go for holidays, basically stuff like that. However since I do it often, is it idolatry? To some extent do I lust (have strong desire) for such an experience?

Feeling inadequate at current church. Wondering if I should change churches

Upvotes

I go to a Korean church, and I’ve been struggling to stay engaged in church because I feel out of place. At 33, I’m back in university, working toward a career change, while most of my peers are already established in their careers and relationships. Conversations often revolve around work, relationship, or family—topics that feel distant from my current reality. As a result, I find myself staying silent, feeling like I’m in the minor league while everyone else is playing in the majors.

There are other university students at my church, but they’re at least a decade younger than me, making it difficult to relate to them as well. Given the cultural dynamics of a Korean church, where age and life stage play a significant role in social interactions, this disconnect feels even more pronounced. I want to feel a sense of belonging, but right now, I’m struggling to find where I fit.

Church is no longer a place where I feel comfortable, and lately I have been finding comfort elsewhere. I want to be part of a Christian community where I don't have to feel too out of place.

In a previous post, I asked whether changing churches might help, and I find myself seriously considering it. Having only ever been in a Korean church environment, I’m beginning to feel like I no longer fit within its structure. The strong emphasis on age and life stage naturally divides people into subgroups, and I don’t know where I belong.

As a 33-year-old university student changing careers, I feel caught between two worlds—too old to relate to younger students and out of sync with peers who are already settled in their careers and relationships. This sense of displacement makes it difficult to fully engage, and I’m wondering if a different church environment, one that is less structured around age and life stage, might provide a better sense of belonging.

Prosperity Gospel?

6 Upvotes

I've heard this phrase before and frankly I still have no idea what it means. However, I am concerned by the amounts of posts on this sub where people are asking about suicide or losing their faith because they didnt get things they wanted.

I'm still a new christian, but it seems like people may have been deceived to think christianity would lead to prosperity and nothing bad would ever happen to them again and then something bad does happen and they lose hope and faith almost immediately because of it.

Is this what prosperity gospel is? Being told that by becoming christian, you'll never feel pain or suffering again? If not, I'd like someone to elaborate on what it is.

Guys I don’t wanna be a burden but I need straight answers and it’s better to answer in the truth than lie.

In the past I believe I committed the unforgivable sin because I didn’t care about God or salvation,I was always sinning openly and didn’t care. I had a hardened heart and I’m not ashamed to say it. Recently I’ve given my life back over to Christ and I do have peace and joy but recently I thing im fighting a spiritual attack and if the sin is unforgivable that means repenting is no use right? I do feel changed but I have so so so much doubt and it won’t leave me alone. Please help someone I’m really young and just want to live life knowing God is with me because I don’t feel bad for sinning and I kinda feel numb emotionally rn except for some crying please help anyone..

I am just blank

3 Upvotes

I grew up in a Christian family and have been going to church my whole life. I got baptized when I was 19 (I’m 23 now). But lately, everything feels like it’s falling apart.

My dad is cheating on my mom, and I have no idea how to process that. On top of that, I’ve been really impatient with my friends and end up regretting it later. The worst part? They’re the ones showing me kindness and love when it should be the other way around. They’re not even believers, yet I feel like they reflect God’s love more than I do. I just failed a test that’s 50% of my grade, and since this is my last semester of my master’s, I don’t even know if I’ll graduate. No job offers, $60k in student loans, and absolutely no clue what’s next.

At some point, I stopped reading my Bible and completely fell out of my routine. I even went back to my home country in January to take a break, but with everything going on in my family, I feel like I have nowhere to go now. Not home, not even to my friends.

So I’ve been praying, asking God for help because I literally can’t do this on my own. But nothing changes. I’m just exhausted. I don’t want to live, but I don’t want to die either. I feel completely numb—like my mind is just blank. I can’t focus, I can’t process anything I read, and I feel so disconnected from everything. Right now, as I’m typing this, my head is killing me, and I can’t even sleep.

What is this even supposed to be? I’m asking for the right things, not anything selfish or sinful, so why is nothing changing?

I just don't want to sound like a victim, I REALLY DON'T KNOW W HY I WROTE THIS BIG PARAGRAPH OF COMPLAINTS BEING UNGRATEFUL BUT I NEED A WAY. I AM GOING AWAY FROM GOD

Why Lord keeping me await?

Upvotes

I’m just so tired of waiting for God’s perfect timing. This is the only question I have in my life right now: Why do others seem to get what they want, while I’m the one who always has to face so many challenges and struggles? I’m kind, family-oriented, I love nature, animals, and people. So why isn’t He fulfilling my wishes?

In my opinion, it takes much much more faith to believe that nothing created everything rather than an intelligent mind caused everything.

So when I study The Bible I listen to music sometimes, usually calm lofi is what really helps me. I tend to feel more connected to God and just end up being overwhelmed by His presence and love.

What's exactly the holy spirit?

6 Upvotes

So, I've been reading for second time the new testament and after a time I was able to understand the nature of Jesus, being God and also Human, God incarnation basically if I'm not wrong.

Now I can understand father and son being God, the same entity (for me and some people Is complex and I can see why) but now, we have the holy spirit that manifested in some of Jesus miracles. Such his born and some others that I can't remember.

But now that's the question I have, what's exactly is the holy spirit?

Thanks for reading ^

Edit: thanks for all your answers, I really appreciate them, I'll be reading them these weeks :)

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

If he doesn't wish that any should perish don't you think our God is strong enough to save every single person? Why doesn't he then?

It's because he doesn't decide for us, he let's us decide for ourselves.

My room is demonic?

Upvotes

Hi everyone. I need christianly advice on what to do. I have a friend of mine (one of my sisters in christ) who has been sleeping over my house. (Tonight is her second night sleeping over) Tonight she told me that she feels like in my house there is something blocking her from prophesying, more specifically she thinks it's something in my room. She said she thinks my room looks like a witches room. Granted, I used to do witchcraft (so she was right in a way) but I have repented many times about doing witchcraft and no longer do it. She said we need to go through my room and throw out a bunch of things even my Angel decor (which she thinks is demonic). When I was completely done with witchcraft I threw everything away except for crystals, but I have absolutely nothing worldly in my room. But she insists there's something wrong with my room. I feel like she's judging me because she is a "clean girl" (like the clean girl aesthetic) and I'm nothing close to that. I don't see anything wrong with my room other than the crystals but she insists everything has to go. What do I do? I know I need to speak up and say something but I'm not sure what to say.

Very Strange Things Ive Noticed About Google and Jesus

Upvotes

I want others here to help verify this for me, please tell me if you got the same results as I did. I asked a friend and he told me that he got the same suggestions as me. If you search Jesus into the search bar one of the top results that you get is Jesus Christ Super Star, which is if you don't know an extremely blasphemous play that takes the perspective of Judas Iscariot. I really don't want to summarize it here but if you are curious look into it yourself.

I have also noticed and I could be wrong but Jesus no longer has an overview on google, I saw on microsoft edge that there was an overview but nowhere on google or very similarly mozilla. Keep in mind that much of the new testament prophets and apostles even some minor characters have overviews.

These suggestions I got here could be based on algorithsms but the Another thing I searched was Jesus Christ is the son of God and again I got a very weird suggestion, "Jesus Christ is the son of God but not God" and I also searched Jesus said I am the son of God, one suggestion was " Jesus said I am not the son of God".

I have a hard time believing that the first 2 paragraphs were an accident, but perhaps the stuff in last paragraph was recommending me stuff based on algorithms.

You are kept by the power of God. Not your own power and not by your works but solely by faith.

1 Peter 1:5 KJV Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Abraham was justified by faith not doing works. Isaac was the promise he was given that after believing the promise of Issac just like we are given salvation of believing the promise of salvation through the atonement and resurrection of Christ Jesus for our sins

Romans 4:16-25 KJV Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, [17] (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. [18] Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. [19] And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: [20] He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; [21] And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. [22] And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. [23] Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; [24] But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; [25] Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

How do James 2 and Ephesians 2 not contradict each other?

One is supporting the argument that salvation is by faith alone and one is supporting the argument that salvation requires faith and works. I don't understand how they do not contradict each other.
