: Hi Earl, I used to believe in all those things, but once I began to question it as a whole, it finally came to be quite impossible to believe in. : It would be nice to live in that state again, but I cannot force myself to believe again. Revivals used to really get me stirred up, but I do think that today, my belief is strong enough to counter the heightened emotional outpouring as well as the mass of social pressures found at these places which focus on ensuring a persons belief. : Earl here :-)..aaahhhh..you're just a little discouraged, a little down, don't let people around you rob you of your own salvation..they'll do it everytime...like God told Job after his trial...gird up your loins and be strong. Hang in there man, we'll be prayin for your success in this old life....systems' got a way to blast you sometimes...God'll straighten it out don't lose your hope..espescially in Him ..He's the only hope you got in this old life...man. You'll make it! Your belief wasn't yours no way...can't force it...go the other way....yield to it..that's the natural way. Most of the time ..I'm my own worst enemy by getting myself in the way of God to work in my life.....when I just relax and live in Him it changes the whole picture. He definately ain't give up on you yet...I can tell.
