Is God always willing to help with every problem we have?

I don't know what troubles you have but I will keep you in prayer.

God does help with every problem but it is sometimes in ways we didn't expect or in ways we don't feel is right. Same as he answers all prayers but not always with the answer we wanted. We might think He's making things worse when in fact He is bring the solution through the problem. That is where our faith comes into play. We know God is in control so if we can somehow hand Him the problems we can then focus our attention on helping others.

One thing I learned in life, just as you think your problems are bad you meet someone in worse shape than you.

 

1Peter 5:7casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

I think God cares about whatever we care about.

Matt. 5:
45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

 

Jim is correct. Jonah did not die in the belly of the whale, nor did he die when the gourd dried up. The picture of Christ is going into the belly of the whale, into the depths, and then rising to the dry land. This is a picture of Christ for us to see.

ajg1959 just set your sites on things above, not here below. This world is just a short stop on our way to a better home, not built by hands. I know it's easier said than done, but remenber (as others have posted) God will never leave you or forsake you. He cares about your problems. Scripture tells us that that he is touched by us and cares for us. Just think, Christ loved you enough to die for you! He does love you and will work all your problems for good (Rom 8:28). They may not work the way you or I want. But he will use them for good.

Joseph is a great study. Sold by his brothers, put into slavery, imprisoned. Can you imagine how it would feel. Lord, I knew you gave me a dream when I was young, but here I am wasting away in prison. How depressing it must have been. But yet God used him in his time and for his purpose. He can and will use you, in his time and his purpose. You may have been disobediant in the past, I don't know. But all that matters is now, and it sounds like you are on the right track.

Love and God Bless,
Keith

 

If I may ask,

Where are you located?

I'll help if possible.

 

I don't personally know them, but try to get to First Free Will Baptist Church.

2433 Barnes Ave
Indianapolis, IN 46208

(317) 926-1168‎


Tell them an Ohio FWB Pastor sent you. If you can't get hold of anyone there try a Google Search for "Free Will Baptist" Indianapolis. I would be surprised if none of them could help. Do you have any job skills?

 

I klnow it's tough man, but hang in there. Make it one more day. I'm guessing it's cold in Indy today. Do you have warm clothes?

 

R U still there AJ?

Don't give up on me...
I'm trying to think of a solution. Any ideas?

What do you need?

 

Brother AJ, I am so sorry to hear it turned out that way.

Again, I am so sorry this is what you're experiencing.

Brother, only the devil wants you to die.

You're doing something right by presenting your situation here, that should at least give you some confidence God wants better things for you!

I have to ask if you have contacted these folks: http://www.fbchammond.com/ ?

I don't know how far Hammond is from you, but I do know they do a bus ministry outreach beyond what we could look at as a scale for bus ministries.

I have met Brother Young a few times and he has a real heart for anyone in your desparate situation. I believe he will help. He probably wouldn't remember me by name so it won't help much there, but please do contact them and mention another IFB'er recommends their church to help you and DON'T hesitate to give them some history about your immediate situation/ needs specifically!

The Lord does allow us to reap what we sow, but DON'T misunderstand that! Not everything we reap is negative, but if you'll sow some effort in God's direction, I KNOW you'll find Him FAITHFUL and JUST!

I believe if you'll do a little looking around, you'll find some one in worse shape than what you think you're in now. There's always room for improvement with the Lord for all things are possible with Him. Notice that word "ALL", it means ALL!:godisgood:

Don't defeat yourself, allow the Lord to keep pointing out your path, acknowledge Him in ALL thy ways and he shall direct your paths!:godisgood:

ONLY if you regard sin moree than what the Lord has for you concerning His will for your life has He ever said he would not hear you. BELIEVE HIM! He's LISTENING!:godisgood:

I don't care what other preachers have told you, listen to what the Lord has promised all who will hear!:thumbsup:

I pray I could help more and I would hope that some one near to you would offer you a place to live while you work your way back to being stable concerning housing.

I hadn't seen much from you here in awhile, yet the Lord has had you on my heart ever since you first came on the BB with your "request".

Since Jesus never gave up on his way up Calvary, and what he did there on that cruel Cross for all who will believe, ALL your "problems" have been nailed to His Cross! He never gave up and you were on His heart at that very time, so there's never a time you should give up either. There is a time for letting those things go that hinder you. The biggest of those deterring things is unbelief.

I hope you see this is what satan is trying to do is to steer you down the road to unbelief that God would ever turn his back on one of His own. The devil is a LIAR!

You are a building in progress, satan knows it and he's trying to get you to a place where you cannot help anyone that ever gets in your present situation.

I won't you to think about that! When the Lord brings you through this, and He will, he is already moving you in the right direction, He will use you to help others! This is what it's all about, Brother AJ!

I do know the Atlanta City Baptist Rescue Mission helps their attendees find employment while working through their program. I've been there many times to preach. Maybe the mission where you're at might be able to send you there? Brother Jesser is the director of the mission, try him too:

316 Peters St SW, Atlanta, Ga. 404-577-3409.

It is a minstry of Kingsway Baptist Church 6456 The King's Way • Douglasville, Georgia
Phone 770.949.0812

I do hope all this helps and know that you can never go to far for God to turn his back on you or that he is finished with you! He has far greater things than you could ever dream of for you!

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

You can count on it!

 

Don't dread it, AJ...you are not going it alone.

 

Great to hear it. I got called away for a few minutes and return to find God at work. Hang in there brother, you are never alone. I know myself and many others on the BB will continue to pray. I love you man, and I'll meet you in heaven if not sooner.

 

No problem, man!

Let God help all three of you, one day at a time!

Go back and try again, it seems you're might be more accepting of it now. The old addage, "If at first you don't succeed, TRY and TRY again!"

I can hardly see my screen right now, Brother, that REALLY touches home, the answer is YES!

You haven't lost anything that God cannot help you get back!

Go for it! and please do keep us posted, we're depending on your depending upon the Lord! Man, you're helping me! NO JOKING!

Told ya God will use you!:godisgood: :godisgood: :godisgood:

 

I am closing this thread.

Please pray for AJ.

AJ, please place those who causing your problems on your ignore list so that those who care can still express their concern for you by PM.
