Do you feel like giving up? Read this before you do.

Are you tired of being stressed and overwhelmed? I’m going to take a guess that you said yes like the rest of the 74% of people in a 2018 study. Can you believe that? 74% of people in 2018 said they feel overwhelmed or unable to cope due to stress? It is 2023 now and with the 2020 planned-demic? I’d say that’s a lot higher. I want to start this off by saying it starts in the gut, yes, disease starts in the gut like Hippocrates said more than 2000 years ago and go even further and say it starts in the womb, yea that’s right, what the pregnant mother eats and drinks will in fact affect the fetus/baby, but I think everyone understands by now that eating an unhealthy diet will hurt you, there are tons of studies, books, documentaries, etc and yet they are still pushing pills instead of saying improve your lifestyle, but I guess that’s about the money. Like the Bible says in 1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all evil…” But in any sense, eating clean will improve your health as well as mental status, especially eating a plant-based diet, this is why most good doctors recommend eating plant based while battling diseases, cancer and other health issues. So enough about that because I can talk about that for days.

I want to talk about another big reason why people are feeling this way, it’s because they forgot about God, or they never had God in their life in the first place. There seems to be a pattern especially with people who weren’t raise with God the right way. I’m sure many heard about God or belonged to a church they attended on holidays or even every week for show but never really changed internally. See, this is where we see Gods promises come to light. When we really let God take over, we see miraculous improvements, sometimes it takes time but if we stick to God and increase our faith by studying His word and praying showing God we are serious, we will get those benefits He promised us. Many people wake up in bad moods because they go to bed in bad moods, then they constantly blame others for their misery not seeing it is really them causing it. Having a constant cloud over your head, blaming everyone around you for anything bad that happens, constant complaining, or feeling ungrateful for everything comes from the devil. You are allowing yourself to get deeper and deeper into his spell, this clouds your mind and vision to the real problem and pushes you further and further away from Christ. You can blame others until you’re blue in the face but that won’t fix anything, and when God takes the person that you are blaming away then who will you blame? You may think all your problems will go away and maybe you will feel better at first but it will all come back hovering over you because it never left, this is how the devil tricks us, and when you do realize it wasn’t their fault it will be too late. Many people don’t realize they are opening doors for the devil to come in, you can do this by listening to secular music, watching bad movies, drinking alcohol, doing bad things, or even hanging with bad people. The Bible says bad company corrupts good character in 1 Corinthians 15:33. Don’t let the devil win! Especially people who saw God’s miracles in their life, why would you want to go backwards? Remember when He answered your prayers? Remember what He did in your life? Remember how He helped your family or your pets from your prayers? Remember how happy you felt? Remember how much better you felt overall? Why wouldn’t you want this in your life? Is it because your embarrassed? Is your friends really better than God? Is partying really better than having a happy life? Is it worth losing your soul to the devil? Do you really not care to go to Heaven? The Bible is clear about what we need to do in order to get to Heaven, we have to be obedient to His Law and have that Faith in Jesus. We won’t get that by partying with our friends or drinking every night because you can’t cope with reality.

Truth is we really don’t have that much time left, I know what your thinking. You’re probably thinking “people have been saying Jesus is coming back for years,” well if you studied prophecy you would understand why. Only God knows when this will happen, His word says so. 2 Peter3:10 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night…” Look around you, does it look like our world is getting any better? No. Anyone that has eyes or ears can see this. And maybe we will see improvements in the future but the Bible also says in 1 Thessalonians …”they will say peace and safety then sudden destruction will hit..” When you think everything is all good and when you least expect it that is when Jesus comes back, that’s why it says “like a thief in the night.” Maybe you still don’t believe. Ever think what if I’m right? Seriously, just think that for a moment. If everything I said was true and in that great and dreadful day like the Bible calls it and you find out you won’t be going to Heaven how would that make you feel? Especially when the plagues hit. And by the way, this isn’t “fear” preaching like some say, these are facts. Don’t be like the Pharisees when they said not to preach to them about the truth, and they said they wanted to hear “smooth things,” like happy go lucky stuff, and yea we should also tell people the good things about God too but this is not negative talk, its the truth and since the truth is hated you will be hated too. Like Jesus said in John 15:18 “If the world hates you know they hated Me first.” If you are so worried about negative talk then stop watching the fake news and all social media, and do your research on what I am saying. Truth hurts but it also saves. Study prophecy so you can see the truth along with the proof.

Get closer to God today before it’s too late, and so you can feel that happiness again. So you have that Savior to guide you, so you can go to Him when you have troubles. God loves you that much that He gave up His Son so that we can gain Heaven so we didn’t have to die for our sins. It doesn’t matter what you have done in your past, anyone can change with God He will forgive you if you give your life to Him and ask for forgiveness. You are worth it. Your family is worth it. He is waiting for you to take His hand. God will never leave you, He will never abuse you, He will never put you down, He will never make you cry, He will never leave you homeless, He will never make you feel that you are a nobody, because you are somebody especially to Him. The Lord works in mysterious ways like His Word says. I’ve seen sick people whom doctors said wouldn’t wake up but woke up thriving, Ive seen animals get healed that vets said there’s nothing that can be done, Ive seen evil irate people turn in a split second with Gods Word spoken, Ive seen the poor helped in ways they couldn’t imagine, Ive seen so much and I know others who saw many miracles as well. I would never give up God for anything or anyone. God has helped me so much in my life, in ways you wouldn’t believe. God is waiting for you. Like it says in Isaiah, His hand is stretched out still. You just have to grab it, and keep hold tight and never let go.

To the people who don’t believe in miracles I have one verse for you.

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

Here are some verses from the Bible to think about, and a beautiful poem from Gods Word, show how much He loves us.

“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12

“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” Revelation 22:14

My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. Psalms 121:2

In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. Psalms 18:6

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. Psalms 86:7

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:44

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7-8

Love Letter from God

Here is a nice paragraph from Ellen White about Prayer and Faith.

Prayer Is Heaven’s Means of Success in Overcoming Sin—
There are many who, though striving to obey God’s commandments,
have little peace or joy. This lack in their experience is the result
of a failure to exercise faith. They walk as it were in a salt land,
a parched wilderness. They claim little, when they might claim
much; for there is no limit to the promises of God. Such ones do not
correctly represent the sanctification that comes through obedience
to the truth. The Lord would have all His sons and daughters happy,
peaceful, and obedient. Through the exercise of faith the believer
comes into possession of these blessings. Through faith, every
deficiency of character may be supplied, every defilement cleansed,
every fault corrected, every excellence developed.
Prayer is heaven’s ordained means of success in the conflict
with sin and the development of Christian character. The divine
influences that come in answer to the prayer of faith will accomplish
in the soul of the suppliant all for which he pleads. For the pardon
of sin, for the Holy Spirit, for a Christlike temper, for wisdom and
[53] strength to do His work, for any gift He has promised, we may ask;
and the promise is, “Ye shall receive.”(The Acts of the Apostles,
563, 564.)
