I need God to lead me and to help me and to show me His ways because i cannot do good things without Him.

Do not wear yourself out trying to 'do the right thing' or jump thru the right hoops. Do not sin intentionally and do a lot of study and research of WHO God is. Search thru the Tanach (Old Testament) and find the things He likes. Get a good translation or two (Compare ESV with NIV or KJV) and read Psalm 82 and Deut 32 and a few other prophetic passages. learn about His ways and the way He operates. Get to know Him by His creation and how He orders it. If you draw near to Him and 'unplug' you will be able to hear Him better. I believe He will have a ton of stuff to teach you if you are serious. Read the NT in light of the OT. Keep looking, and you will be amazed at what you will find. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i read Psalm 82, but i didn't quite understand, i though maybe you'd like to explain it to me, but it's not a problem if you don't, God has a way. Also i am wondering what do you mean by "unplugging"? And how those one "unplug"? Edited September 1, 2019 by Filip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i am wondering what do you mean by "unplugging"? And how those one "unplug"? Check out 'Unseen Realm' by Dr. Heiser. Some are on YouTube. Also read the scriptures I gave you in the ESV or EXB translations as the 'various doctrines' smeared the other ones generally. One MUST note that translators AND original writers used their world-view and current understanding when they wrote scriptures. Writing scripture was not a paranormal thing. Just people being inspired where they were and as they were. Unplug means try to stay away from that general noise that surrounds us - music, news, nonsense. In other words, get quiet so you can hear. Blessings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
