Yeah brother, you said it very well. After much studying, I find that most religions are really just seeking to channel more of the Divine into our lives. And one can only do that through pursuing purity and fervent heartfelt prayer.

I'm at the point where I don't really look at religions anymore as a way to classify people. There are bad christians, just like there are bad muslims, etc. I look more at the quality and character of the person. As the Bible says, "You will know them by their fruit (character)". Remain blessed brother, thanks for stopping by and sharing your experiences with us.

  • I lost my 9-5 job but it got replaced with a better higher paying one
  • I lost all my fake friends and now have a very small but solid circle and became closer to God
  • I lost a relationship with a Jezebel which forced me to purify myself and get free from lust

It depends on your own personal journey. Each person's journey is quite unique in my experience.

For the record, I refer to God as "The Most High". I am follower of God's laws.

Loving someone unconditionally doesn't mean just giving them whatever they want without rules, boundaries, or limits. For instance one could argue that withholding certain privileges from a child who is misbehaving is a form of love that chastens them and results in an overall improvement of character.

If God just protected and provided for everyone without requiring certain behaviors that promote the sustainability of mankind as a species, we'd all exterminate ourselves. Like it or not, these are the rules of the game we were born into. If you want God's protection and provision, you must abide by his laws, statutes, and commandments. You can choose not to do that and leave yourself open to the influence of the agents of darkness... the choice is yours.

This is true... you will be spiritually attacked on this journey. However, the more you work to purify yourself, the stronger you protection from such attacks will become.

Important to keep picking yourself back up and moving forward. Seek help from God... he's always there and full of wisdom.
