You HAD a Relationship with Holy Spirit? May I ask how you came about this Relationship & what you believe has happened to it?Walking in Spirit & in Truth comes from Christ Abiding in us,it is our access to the Heart & Mind of Jesus.......so,everything else you are asking about is not important at all,you must first know WHO you are in Christ before you can move in any direction......so shall we take one thing at a time,in order of priority?

Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword and the Christian’s charter. Here too, Heaven is opened and the gates of Hell disclosed. Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.

Everyone stumbles from time to time, what makes you believe you have lost Christ in you? The Bible never mentions the very modern idea of "dating." There are single people, engaged people, and married people. What matters is finding a wife, not having fun with a girlfriend. God typically wants for us to be married so that we can live the life he designed us for; with just one partner, raising Godly children. I'd suggest you look up Voddie Baucham's series on marriage and relationships on Youtube for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Emmanuel, Pleased to meet you. As you are just 21, I would say that you are early in your relationship with the Lord & His Holy Spirit. It takes time to build this trust. Just because you stumbled doesn`t mean God has left you. You are disappointed in your self, ay. We will all make mistakes as we journey on life`s road. However what you are experiencing I believe is that the Lord is now beginning to show you what is inside of you. The `sweet relationship` was when you thought you couldn`t do any wrong because it was just you & Jesus & His Holy Spirit. Well let me say that as we all go on in the Lord the layers of our covering up of our sinful selves gets unmasked, bit by bit as the Lord changes us. Work with the Lord & say, thank you for exposing this or that, as you are now in the `school of the Holy Spirit.` Each time something gets uncovered, just repent & say thank you Lord for exposing that. all the best, Marilyn.

God has made provision for stumbling Christians. Please see 1 John 1:5-2:2. Christians can't "lose" Christ. Study your Bible and get a clear understanding of what God does for sinners through Christ.

Fear of rejection should not prevent you from establishing relationships. Settle in your mind ahead of time that there is a 50:50 chance of rejection. Which means that there is a 50:50 chance of acceptance. Take a good hard look at yourself, and if you are satisfied that there is nothing about you that makes people reject you, then have some courage and don't run from difficulties. Also, you can give others a hearing, but you should be able to make independent decisions about your own life after communicating with God.

You sound rather apprehensive. There is nothing to be that way about anything especially when it comes to God. As for dating, I don't think you should thinking of dating as dating, but going out with a female friend to have a good time with her, based on kindness and respect. You being nervous will not go over well and things might just become awkward. Fear has a way of being a self fulfilling thing that creates it's own demons. If you push out the idea of being a date, you might just relax enough to be yourself and let her be herself. As for God, that gets a little deeper, but it may not be as deep as you may think. It might just be that your fear has overwhelmed you spirit and took over control of your life. God has a tendency to let us be our own pilots if we don't look to him for guidance. Fear, paranoia and desperation will cause us to grab the wheel out of Gods hands and he will step back and watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean I am holy or righteous, it only means, that I've become a much better sinner because I've learned to play on everyone's hopes. So you can't substitute, Spiritual Wickness for anything other than the Chastisement the "Hearing of the Word" accords and by default the bible's Written Word, is a reproof of our walk of faith. You should strive to be moved, and also to have your heart chastised ...................... even if you are moved spiritually, you must remember your heart is wicked and must be chastised continually, that is simply apart of our walk of faith, it has been that way since the very beginning. (An Unchastised Heart by the Hearing of the Word, is a gateway to sin, that is why you have to faithfully discern truths, because satan and devil will use suffering and pain only as a proof of purpose until they are no longer to do so (1Kings 17:21/Daniel 6:10/Esther 4:16 = Spirit/Water/Blood) (You can be ignorant of the Written Word (Water), and Unclean (Blood), because the "Spirit" is more important you don't need a discernible indicator, as the Gospel Says, to receive salvation, "Wrestle with Spiritual Things, comparing Spiritual with Spiritual" ... ... ... ... Satan and the Devil will speak in Tongs, and Placate the Gospel's Truth because they are limited to discernment of "Water and Blood" ... ... ... ... because that is unprofitable when the Gospel Goes out, sometimes god will use euthanasia or just blind them ... ... ... ... Because God does not pay for All Sin, the "Spirit" is of no consequence for many people, they are simply a trial of our faith until God begins to take them out of the way, or until the Events of Revelation are Completed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
