If I have very very strong feelings about  TBN, Should I voice them? I am a Christian. READ DETAILS PLEASE!?

I am not a Christian however I do have a thought on the matter.  I believe that God can work through us in many way.  Much of which you have mentioned and more.  If you are getting these deams and you have kept track of them, (written them down for rememberance) you have prayed about them and they are still coming I would put them into serious consideration.  These would not come to you in the way they have unless you were meant to do something with them and I believe that.  I do know of the TBN and it is a giant.  That is a huge undertaking if it meant that God wants to use you.  \nDo not ignore them, write them all down in a note book.  Read them over and over again. See the details in them.  You see the bigger picture but if you go over everything no matter how minute then there might be something in the smaller details that will help you.  Help you to understand what you are to do, what God wants you to see in particular, that sort of thing.  And pray.  Pray and Pray.  God listens and God will hear you.  If he gives you scripture, read it.  See how it pertains to the matter at hand.  Only you and God know what this all is. So take to heart that God will be there.  Listen to your dreams, Listen to God, Pray and God will show you what is right in the matter and what You should do about what God has given you.\nI hope this helps you in your travels and let God be with you.

Pray about it. Think about it. pray about it. take care of yourself and your spirit because if you chose to be a messenger of God. You must be prepared for the possible suffering that comes with it. It isn't just telling people about the Gospel..it is about leading by example and living Christ-like. Read again Philippians on how Paul who was imprisoned instructs us how to live and endure like Christians. May God Bless you on your endeavors. Keep me up to date.

They gotta know you exist, bro, before they can consider you. Make a killer set of demos and send the CDs to them. Let them know your core beliefs so they know you have a heart for singin' to the Lord.

Agree with Niet.., does this guy have a broadcast, cause I'd tune in!\nSounds like you got stuck with a non-judgemental, open-minded, well-read, modern thinker. A person who cares for all God's children, gee how unlucky for you. \nIronically I bet even though you have this hate in your heart for him (while in church confessing your sins-one of which is hate) here's this guy at the pulpit praying for your redemption.\n\nI know God doesn't have a problem with this guy.\n\nDo you think church is supposed to be some members-only club, and only those who think the "right" way are allowed?\n\nBoy are you in for a shock in the afterlife. Luckily all of us will be up there to see the look on your face, and also luckily for you God has a lot of forgiveness and love in him.\n\nMaybe that's what you should be learning about in church, forgiveness and love.

I miself speak in toungues so i tink baptists need to surender their doctrine and ask for the Holy Ghost. It is normal that a person thinks that someone speaking in\ntoungues is mad,just look at Corinthians 14 and Acts 2  \nspeaking in toungues is for your own belife.If you want to prouve that speaking in toungues is a key element of christianity than remember that all profets are also speaking in toungues and it is easy to realize that a profet is real after God speaks to \nyou abaut thing you have kept hidden and abaut thing that will hape ( and hapen every time).\nBTW just so that readers know next year is gowig to be much harder that this one with more  casualties and deaths. \nThis year we had earthqaqes and flods , next year the world will also experience fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no way around it you can just feel it . It's like God is talking to you and you cant ignore it. If you do it will make you feel miserable for not doing the lords work. He has done so much for you and me . Just get out there and do what you've been asked to do.

It is okay if you think I am nuts but here goes.I talk to God by prayer, sometimes silently and sometimes outloud. God talks to me occassionaly at His time frame, In other words I don't have to be in a prayerful or spiritual mood for Him to speak. I cannot explain it but when He speaks to me, it is not silent in my head and it is not audible so that others can hear it but it is clearly audible to me.So yes, I have a relationship with Him. I also can feel His prescense in my life.Look to John 8:47,& 10:26-30 Jesus stated my sheep hear my voice and they know me(Jesus) and follow me. God may not communicate with everyone the same as He does with me but if you do not hear His voice in some manner then you don't know Him. My relationship with Him indeed started out as faith but you are correct in the change that takes place. I cannot prove this relationship to anyone but to me it is fact. You can not achieve fact without first having faith.

The best advice I will give is to live your Christian life openly. Don't be judgemental or intolerant. As my youth pastor used to say "you may be the only Bible some people ever read." So keep that in mind as you go about your day. Stay focused on practicing your religion. Take the time to listen to your family members about what they believe and how they experience God. Just listen. There is a great value to listening, so many people forget that. A lot of people have more respect for people who take the time to listen and get to know what they believe. If you don't understand something they are saying, it is okay to ask for clarification, but don't judge or put down their beliefs. Just listen. Keep doing this. Eventually they'll start to ask you what you believe if they're curious. If they've been watching you and how you live and go about your life, they may start to get curious. When beginning to start to tell them what you believe (when they ask...remember no one likes to have someone tell them information they haven't asked for) make sure you make it clear that this is what you believe. What I mean is, don't make references to what they believe. Just state what you believe. This keeps you from showing signs of intolerance, disrespect, or that you are judgemental. Continue to take the time to listen to them. Ask them about their beliefs, why they believe it. Ask them about their spiritual experiences. That sounds odd, but all of us have them in some form or another. Sometimes we can explain them through our religion, and sometimes we cannot. You are getting personal with them and building trust between them and yourself. Be willing to answer questions about yourself, but never feel like you have to defend your believes or offend others. If all goes well, they will start to inquire more and more, they may start to go to church with you, they may want to read the Bible and that will open even more questions for you to answer from them. Don't always be so quick to answer questions. Sometimes you'll be asked questions that if you answer right away you might later regret answering the way you did. If you feel like you need more time to ponder a question, be honest and let them know that you'd like to think of how to give the best possible answer to their question. Most people will be understanding. DO NOT GET INTO RELIGIOUS ARGUMENTS. I can't stress this enough. Most religious arguments are not actually about spirituality, they are about ego. Be strong enough to step away from them.\n\nThis is my advice to you as a former Christian missionary turned Hindu (coincidently). What I have told you I have found to be much more effective at helping people in their spiritual life and helping them look more closely at what they actually believe. As a Christian I'll admit that I did get into trouble with my church who was more interested in gaining more members for revenue than it was about truly helping people spiritually (I took the words of a pastor there to heart when he said that "a hospital is a place where people go when their physical bodies are sick to get treatment, a church is a place where people go when their spiritual bodies are sick to get treatment.") I also still am friends with a great many Christians. They are all very tolerant and respectful of other people's beliefs. It is not that they do not want to 'save' people, they just have realized that being judgement, intolerant, and condemning people or even trying to provoke fear in them doesn't really seem to very effective. Respect, patience, and tolerance seem to work a lot better (remember tolerance means that you acknowledge their religious beliefs, it does not mean that you accept them).\n\nAnd most importantly, pray for your family. Be thankful for them, but also ask Christ to help you. Take time to not just pray in the sense that you do all the talking, but also take time to sit

I would say to be militant about it is a little strong, but Jesus says that we are to go into the world teaching and preaching the gospel, baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  So, I would think it should make a great deal of difference to you what someone believes; as he also said I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Light - NO man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  The capitals are not yelling but for emphasis and I don't know how to make emphasis without using capitals - so if you are saved and you don't feel an unction to spread the gospel, then what good is your salvation?  I'm not judging you, I'm simply posing a thought pondering question to you.  I can't tell you what is sin and what is not - Jesus can - a reference you might find helpful is James 4:17.

Brittani\nYou can wear what ever you want. If you want to give meaning to it that's fine too. You didn't say if you were trusting Jesus for your salvation, are you? People often get confused when God isn't their anchor. I think you need to stop take a look around your spiritual life. If you don't find Christ there you are indeed lost. Come back to your roots and find out who Jesus is then either reject His or become His through faith in Him...  Jim

It is possible for people to experience messages from God as a voice.  I once met a man who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, and he had struggled for a long time to recognize the voice of the Holy Ghost in comparison to all the other voices in his head.  He said that the voice of the Spirit was always accompanied by feelings of peace.\n\nIn addition, remember that the Holy Spirit will never tell you to do anything that's inconsistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ.\n\nYou can also pray to God and ask Him to help you recognize whether the things that you understand are messages from Him.  He cares about you and your mental health.\n\nThese are some keys you can use.

Listen to that 'quiet small voice' .... follow your hearts desire....\n(I also lived iinthe East prior to relocating to New Mexico) I have taken that 'leap of faith' followed that calling in my life.  Yes I will continue to listen to that small voice and hear the calls.

No, i'm afraid i'm not, deep in my heart of hearts. I can't seem to completely shake the predjudice i was taught as a child.  There is still a little voice somewhere in my head that reminds me at times. I guess the important thing is to honestly try and not give up on attempts to banish ones' prejudices, being aware that others probably have intolerances toward us too. More knowledge is needed.

Emily its not a question this time but a statement of believe. You have a lot of anger?\n\nTry John 13 onwards for a week or two: it might impress you
