I want to "re-kindle" my saunter near Jesus.?
this question is open to anyone. i have be a strong christian for years and have recently fallen away. i still hold myself to my frail standards(no drinking, swearing, etc.) but i never pick up the bible, attendchurch, pray, or witness anymore. i also cant find the drive or motivation to search for God, other than the knowledge that i know i still requirement him. i find myself passionate about other things in my life span such as my bodybuilding/martial arts training, recreational Sports, and of course my Girl friend of 3 years(she is a much stronger christian tan i am and is worried). i am loyal and faithful to those but cant put together God first. i am beginning o fear that i will soon loose touch completely and i need some warning; i definitely don't know where to start.
Answers:
1) Make it your prayer every day that God would draw you closer to Him.
2) Make a commitment to read the bible on a regular spring and get someone to keep you accountable for doing it. Here is a association with bible reading schedules. If you just don't know where on earth to start, then read a chapter of proverbs every day. There are 31 proverbs, one for each daylight of the week.

3) You're going to have to make a choice. There are things you are placing above God. In order to label some time for God you will have to cut back on something else. It's easy to set up idol, or things we worship over God (I know because I struggle too).
4) You want the passion first, and the discipline after. Be disciplined first and then the passion will come after.
5) Going to church is a must. Satan is have a hayday right now because you aren't going. You need to surround yourself with stronger, more fully developed Christians who can encourage you. Just being with fellow Christians can gladden and inspire more than you realize.
6) I hope you understand that this is a spiritual battle. Satan wants to hold you from living a right life. Satan wants to keep you on the sidelines so that you aren't making a difference for the Lord.
7) Examine your heart. Are you truly save? I wouldn't presume to know but the bible does tell us to test ourselves to see if we are in the reliance.

I also am at the point surrounded by my life where i strayed away from god but whats helping me rekindle my walk next to him is reading my bible and praying. May i suggest that you attend a church maybe you can go to the church your girlfried goes to that could be a start. I be goin to church at the time when I was slipping away but after talking to someone about what be going on it really helped me to get back on track. You should converse to someone you trust about what is going on.

What are you waiting for? You do these things, and it'll come. Just be lenient.
(There will come a time when you WILL take a look back at where you come from, and you WILL be able to see just how far your "walk" has taken you. It usually take a few years, but it's unmistakable. Of course, if you're sitting around on your tookus, you aren't walking anywhere, are you?)
The bible says within prov 24:18 A JUST MAN FALLS SEVEN TIMES AND RISEN BACK UP AGAIN. God calls this man just because even though he falls seven times he can be able to rise up again.
No issue how many times you have fall, God's mercy is still everlasting and only just to bring you back in. He is waiting for you. You gotta make that bold step, ask someone to help out you again on line prob. your girlfriend or your pastor, I believe if you tell your heart they will be most willing to lend a hand you.
how in the region of, thinking about it, just don't do it, really think around it, not as a christian, just as a regular person, go to youtube and look up atheist experience. basically think about it.

You can't force it. Let it happen naturally.
AlthOuqh jesus should be our number one priority in life. MOst times he isn't. I think that yoU are qoinq throuqh what most christians qo throuqh. Don't qive up and trust within god. He is there. Start with a prayer. Ask god to show himself too you. And to qive you the wisdon to make the riqht choices. You knoe the riqht mode and the truth. Just remember God is ALWAYS waiting with open arms.

Cut the sin out of your life! Sin is what harden our hearts and leads us to unbelief! I think you are feed your sinful thoughts and neglecting your thoughts of faith. What major sins are within your life? Are you keeping yourself sexually pure with your girlfriend (if you aren't that is a huge snag right there!)? Obviously putting all these other hobbies/activities before God is idolatry. You should put adjectives of those things you do (and your girlfriend) below God. God should be the whole center of your life none of those things. Those things help but should never be your center for elation or reason to live type thinking. Does bodybuilding/martial arts cause arrogance and pride in you? Do you cogitate you are better than others and treat them as inferior? I don't know I am just by what you are telling me. You know your sins and if you aren't even struggling to get them out of your natural life it is a major reason why your heart is getting hardened against God. Christianity isn't about anyone good enough for Heaven or bad adequate for Hell. It is about serving Christ as your Lord and good coming from you because of that. It is about allowing sin (bad) to grow and multiply if your life span and hardning your heart to Jesus Christ where you no longer care about him as your Lord or Savior. You are going down this footpath toward not caring about Christ when obviously at one point you did concern. I am thinking you are having a rampant sin problem based on this thinking. Of course you need to nurture your faith. All the stuff you already know to do:
- Daily bible reading.
- Daily prayer.
- Repenting of your sins.
- Following what the Bible teaches you in your everyday living (loving others, purity, loving/thinking how to serve Christ)
- Go to church. Church cause a lot of problems with people. They don't close to it because it involves other people. They don't like dealing with the imperfection of other people. But it is an essential part of being a strong Christian. I've never certain a mature Christian that did not go to church. If you don't like the church you go to find one you do! I think any church that follows the Bible is good enough. Church can back a lot.
- Soften your heart. As a man it is hard to do. If you go to a church that raise their hands to God do it! If your church encourages people to attain prayed for at the end of service at the altar, do it! If you feel the need to cry and express sentiment, do it! Your problem is a hard heart this is part of the cure.
- A good pentecostal church may know how to help you gain your fire back. Petecostal people at most minuscule have strong faith!
Do all of this stuff whether you perceive motivated or not. It will come to you if you want it. Just feed your faith and quit feeding your sin and doubt.
We all sin and fall short of the Glory of Almighty God but to sin willfully knowingly brings adjectives kinds of woes, heartbreak and dis-ease. Read Psalm 91 and the first four verses of Psalm 68 each dark before sleep and truly repent of every sin you can recall. Upon awaking in the morning do not speak until you hold showered or washed your hands and then consent to the first word out of your mouth in prayer be "Jesus" (your armor of Light). Follow this word of Knowledge religiously and you will find you way back.

i think this is a normal phase contained by the christian walk. But i feel God is always reachingout ot us too. So, dont verbs that you have strayed from God, but you are in a phase where you haev to pilfer it easy, but an event will take place that will rekindle everything btwn you and God.
Sometimes you need distance to grow closer to God.
Other than thinking that you should be in touch with Jesus, are you beaming?
Maybe you've just grown up and no longer need an imaginary friend.
"Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and the door will be opened." You gotta start by praying. If it is the reality that you are doubting, God will show you a sign. It may not come right away, but it WILL come. You may have to hit rock bottom first and cry out to God with all your might, but the sign WILL come. We own a truly awesome and loving God. You better believe it. :) Will be praying for you.
