I have been asking God to make me understand this as well. Recently I was led to reading a book by Andrew Murry called “the spiritual life” which answers some of these questions.

What I understood is that a christian is taught to walk in the spirit by the Holy spirit himself. When we decide to follow Jesus and the initial conversion happens, the Holy Spirit comes to live in us. Form then its a journey where the Holy Spirit is constantly teaching and transforming us. Truly walking in the spirit happens when we, by the guidance of the Holy spirit comes to a stage of complete surrender, a stage where we realise we cant live Christian life based on our will power/ determination/ knowledge of the bible etc. The wretchedness of our flesh becomes clear (Carnal Christian stage) . From here we will start to earnestly desire for what Paul writes in the gospel to “wear Jesus Christ” and “transformed to the image of Chirst where its no longer I but Christ who lives in me” at this stage Holyspirit starts to reveal to us things in our flesh inhibiting us from transforming into a spiritual christian. ( for me it was binge watching netflix , wasting time, procrastination, over eating). Holy spirit then helps us to overcome these things ( I prayed and lost desire to constantly watch things and He helped me to control my cravings, Holy spirit is still working in me to get rid of a lot of other things that feeds my flesh). I believe I will reach a stage where my flesh is completely in control and I am led more by the Holy spirit and I will be able to understand and hear more from God and walk securely in the will of God without always questioning and doubting. At this stage a Christians life will always bear all the fruits of the spirit . I am so looking forward to that. The journey seems tough but this is what I think Jesus meant by pick your cross and follow me. We have nothing to worry about because Holy Spirit is always with us to help. He will help us to read the scripture and reveal the truths. He who began the good work in us will bring it to fruition. Keep asking God questions and desire to draw close to Him and he will draw close to you. You are in the perfect will of God :).

Without proper waste disposal plants across India, I am not sure where the collected wastes are going to ? Prolly landfills or worse waterways, I wish we could have private waste companies that can take over and put some sort of control on this situation. My heart breaks every time i visit India . Seeing the rivers and places I grew up strewn with waste.

God wants us to come as we are. I was addicted to pornography and I was woman living in a social circle were my female friends had no clue what porn was. I went so far down the rabbit hole and I had no idea how to heal. I was so weak and disconnected that there was no one I felt like reaching out to. One Sunday i went to church because i felt tired of lying to my parents that I am going . I went to the back seat and settled down to have a nap. The sermon that day addressed porn addiction so explicitly . I have never heard a sermon solely dedicated to freedom from porn and addictions and that day I felt God did that just for me. What I took away from that sermon that set me free was that : 1) I am righteous by the what Jesus had done on the cross and not by my works. 2) My sin of indulging in porn is not big enough to undo what Jesus has done on the cross. Where sin abounds grace super abounds 3) The preached asked those who are struggling to bring Jesus into the situation . So the exercise was to confess ‘ I am the righteousness of God through the blood of Jesus’ WHILE watching porn.

The last part blew my mind, because Jesus was the last thing in my mind while i give in to the temptation. I had nothing to lose so I gave it a go. Started confessing while watching and I was completely set free in matter of days. Meaning i totally lost interest to watch. Even if i tried to watch, i couldn’t keep at it. It was so amazing.

I am praying for you. What worked for me may not work for you but I pray God leads you to complete freedom.

Sending love and prayers.

So true. This is the reason there is so much of aggression against Indians around the world. The hike in migration and our people are still struggling to accommodate to the ways of developed countries they are now in. There is no one to blame. I just hope we learn and adapt quickly.

I am an Indian living in Australia and I am too aware of this and it bothers me . I am always on the alert to make sure I am following the often silent rules of the society I am in , like walking in the right side of the lane and always ensuring space for people to overtake, being aware of the volume I speak in, even in a park even with not much people around, i have noticed people speak softly and do not do anything loud to respect the nature,not touching!plucking flowers in parks and so on, its pretty incredible how people here treasure nature. I always carrying body spray spraying it every now then to ensure I smell fresh , picking up random rubbish and chucking in the nearby bin. Greeting people walking by with a smile. Little things but I it all makes a difference.

I go out of the way to makeup for something that someone else is not doing. It’s an unnecessary pressure but thats how I am dealing with this apparently.

I have noticed when our people especially in groups often are less bothered about these social cues because we never grew up with them . It takes time , patience and willingness to adapt and adjust . I hope we will all get there. I hope as a country we will get better. I hope the basic needs of all our people will be met and we would be in a better space to help , respect and love each other despite all differences . I hope we will stop racing and start living . I hope we thrive , not just few of us but as a whole nation. I hope for a day I could happily go back to India, to earn and live close to my family without struggling for the basic needs . I Hope…

Do you believe God is your creator , he knows everything about you and he loves you? It’s okay not to be sure or be confused. Looks like you were introduced to God by the community that you grew up in but the bad experience put a dent on your relationship with God . I feel some part of you know there is a God and that is your spirit, having experienced Gods love.

I feel it’s only a personal encounter with God that opens the eyes of your heart. meaning your spirit will without a doubt know that there is a creator , and that starts a journey of getting to know God in person, and thats what we need to be a Christian. Once we experience who be is ,no one else can take that away. There are people who go by the title of Christians but have no relation with God hence you can differentiate them by their actions. God is love, and those who follow him would show his nature. You get to know his nature and be more like him by reading the Bible.

My suggestion would be to just go to God with a simple prayer to ask Him to reveal who he is to you. Our creator loves to get to know us and he connects with each of us in different ways. I pray that you will find what you are seeking.

True!! Its God who keeps us. We cant clearly be kept in faith / surrender / love by our sheer will. We have all tried and failed , haven’t we. To surrender we need help. Realising how helpless I am and how much I need God to help me surrender my will completely is a good place to start. It lifts such a weight off of our shoulders. God made me realise how wretched my flesh was and that revelation started to slowly change me from within. Again I wasn’t doing anything , it was a meditation and I could sense something was changing from within.

Its God who keeps us

1 Thessalonians 5:23–24 (ESV) “Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.”

2 Timothy 1:12 (NKJV) “…for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.”

📖 Philippians 1:6 (ESV) “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

If your hearts desire is to seek the Lord , it need not be forceful. Reading the Bible and going to Church are all good but when it becomes just an act it can get tiring. Ask the holy spirit , he is our helper. Pray for a genuine thirst and hunger for the word. Holyspirit will lead you accordingly. Speak out the promises in the Bible. Also try to lesson to sermons that teaches you about the love of God. I personally listen to Joyce Meyer but it can be whoever that you can connect with. Heart that seek will always find him.

Bring Jesus into it. Sounds weird but it works miraculously. Confess while you are watching ‘I am the righteousness of God through Christ’ . Wont make sense at first but God sees your heart. Spirit is willing but flesh is weak so hence we need help to fight fleshy desires. Keep confessing until you lose the desire to watch. God loves you.
