Hi there, 

I hope this isn't a silly question, and hopefully I haven't written this in the wrong section!

I just wanted to ask if anybody has any advice for reconnecting to God? I'm only young and in my recent teenage years I have found that I am not worshipping my faith like I used to. 

Please help.

Hi GM,

It's definitely hard being a young person in this very secular society we in the Western world live in.

It was bad enough when I was a teen and I backslid for many years - the bright lights of the clubbing scene and the  lies of general secular life took me down - my faith foundation was not solid.

My advice to you is to read the Bible - be regular in morning "quiet time" - may be read the daily Word for Today each morning and soak yourself in the Word. Believe in the Word and start living by the principles in it. 

Remember that God is still connected to you?

Thank you for the lovely advice HisFirst, it is greatly appreciated! 

I have definitely faced the same things you did when you were a teen, it is comforting to know that somebody understands! Especially because the people surrounding me do not worship their faith anymore. 

I need to work on my 'quiet time' in the morning haha! 

Thank you once again for your words ❤️

Another thing I would suggest is getting into prayer deeply: not just asking the Lord for things, but taking time to reflect on his word and to learn to listen for His still, small voice. It doesn't need to be filled with "thee, thy and thou", nor does it need a lot of big words. But going to the Lord in prayer daily is extremely important, and in a quiet place away from distractions and things that need your attention.

Thank you Robert, finding time to reflect on the Lords word is something I definetely need to practice. I appreciate your advice! I suppose I am just young and a bit impatient which is why I am becoming so confused!! :P

For me it helps in realizing that everything here and my own body God has not redeemed and when His Word has accomplished all that it says- that which is not redeemed will be thrown away... as I am an eternal being with eternal realities made to live with God forever I should attach my heart to the things God 'IS' keeping! It is a simple list: His Word and the those who are born again into the living hope. I have found that attaching my heart to anything else just confuses the issues of redemption and My Lord just shakes me loose from them anyway :)   Love, Steven

I also agree with Robert about prayer.

I am very happy that you were able to discover this yourself. That is define help from God. 

My advice for you is in this wise:

1. Repent: Realize where you have been missing the marks. Recognise those godly things you are to be doing but you are not observing them. Recognise those things you are not supposed to be doing but you are doing them.

2. Return: Then return to God through Christ Jesus. Based on the outcomes of the 1. above, start doing the needful and stop doing the wrongful. 

3. Remain: Remain in the word, will and way of God. Do not allow anything to distract you from doing the needful. Avoid all things that will not help your relationship with God.

God bless you and those reading this.

Fasting is a concept that I feel most young people aren't told they should partake in. You don't have to fast from food if your parents won't allow it, but maybe spending time away from distractions like TV, social media, etc for a few days and dedicating time to reading the Word might help you move closer to God. It certainly helped me when I was a teenager. 

Also doing a specific study on your favorite story in the bible or scripture verse and relating how it effects your current life can help.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
