Unworthiness

 If you are feeling like a sinner:


“Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.”


You seem to be having this sense of unworthiness while reading the Bible.


What you are experiencing might just be true repentance. Repentance is more than an apology. An apology means to ask the Lord to forgive you, but repentance means living a truly transformed life. It means turning over a new leaf and being a new person. It is no longer you that lives but Christ that lives in you. Galatians 2:20


I strongly advise baptism by water if you have not yet been baptized.


You need to leave behind your old body so that you are dead in the flesh, then allow the spirit of God to fill your body, giving you new life. Romans 8:10


You will be a new person. You need to say goodbye to your old self. Ephesians 4:22. Some people will even change their names after baptism. If the devil accuses you again after this, remind yourself that that was a different person. You are a different person. That wasn’t you. That was someone else.


Some people are baptized twice because their first baptism was a catholic baptism, or they were too young to know what they were doing, etc. maybe find a church that will conduct a second water baptism for you. I know Jesus Image in Florida does. My church does as well.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

How to Fast the Right Way

First of all, motive. Fast to draw close to Him, and don't let anyone know that you're fasting. Matthew 6:16-18  For a Full Fast: Just tell them that you're taking some time off will be booked on those dates and can't be contacted during those periods.  Turn your phone on silent mode. It's basically only for emergencies, or else, don't answer at all. Lock yourself in your room. Matthew 6:6-7 Drink lots of water if you're going on a full fast. If you're living with others, only go out of the room to get more water. What you actually do: No work, no play, just fast and pray. And worship and Word and talk to Him and draw close to Him. And write down what He says. Do your devotion.

Lazy teens

A teen is not a kid anymore. Then again, boys mature about 3 years slower, so just take that into account.  When faced with lazy teens, we need to find out the root issue — is it a spirit of laziness? It has to be addressed. He needs to know that it is a spirit and not him. And that he has to fight it. And what happens when spirits like that are not warded off. And how they can ultimately possess a person when entertained and given into. If it’s not laziness, it is a lack of motivation. What do they really have in mind that is really bothering them or they are inspired about and work on that.
