why am I here ? whats the deal?

You're not alone. Believe that. Many of us feel this way at times. But there's something you're not doing or you are doing for the reason of why you feel like this. Do you pray; read often? Daily prayer and meditation of The Word is required. If we do not do these things we are lost. Think about your life; your associations. Perhaps your associations are wrong. Maybe you aren't reading or praying like you should. Its time to get into the Word of God. Perhaps you are balancing an unjust weight. You are not promised tomorrow. But if you are on this earth then you have a purpose. Keeping seeking the Lord and it shall be revealed unto you.

1 Corinthians 15:33

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

2 Corinthians 6:14

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

There's not a Christian alive that doesn't go through what you're going through.

Although I've been saved a lot longer than you, I still had questions, until a friend turned me on to the site. I emailed them asking 7 questions, and was lucky enough to find someone who answered every one even though it took several weeks.

i do kmow how you feel.... God wants you here! God has a plan for your life and what u need to do is pray about it! God wants every one to change the world! and u r a world changer! Ujust have to believe. Yesterday i led someone to Christ and now here life is changed forever... and allGod expects out of u in your Christian life is to believe and change the world, nothing more but nothing less.....

Hope i helped Go change the world!

You are still here because God wants you to be. There must be something for you to do. Perhaps in the way of helping others? If it were me, which it is, I would occupy myself with helping others until such time as the Lord is ready for me.

dont worry youre in a bad place but god isnt going to do anything to help you. you say he saved you so how come you still feel so bad? if thats what you believe, then go and pray to him and just stop messing up.

Ok. You are saved and your sins are forgiven. How have you used the gift Father gave you? Have you done any good in the world today? You are here to lift someone else's burden.

Maybe the reason you're here isn't about you. Maybe it's about someone else. You're still here for a reason - ask God to show you.

Please, don't thank ME, for I am only a messenger, mearly ONE of Jehovah's modern day Christian Witnesses. Thank JEHOVAH the Almighty God through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ for bringing this to you.

"That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah,

You alone are the Most High over all the earth."

- Psalms 83:18

"Know that Jehovah is God.

It is he that has made us, and not we ourselves.

[We are] his people and the sheep of his pasturage"

- Psalms 100:3

"YOU are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “even my servant whom I have chosen, in order that YOU may know and have faith in me, and that YOU may understand that I am the same One. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none.

I - I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior [if it weren't for Jehovah SENDING him here, Jesus His Son never would have came].” “I myself have told forth and have saved and have caused [it] to be heard, when there was among YOU no strange [god]. So YOU are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and I am God."

- Isaiah 43:10-12

(Therefore, we are called "JEHOVAH'S Witnesses... it's more than simply a name such as Lutheran, Baptist, Catholic, Protestant... etc...etc. As such we HAVE to be Christians in that by us bearing witness to Jehovah we HAVE TO bear witness and acknowledge His Son Jesus and bear witness to him also as Jesus is THE GREATEST of Jehovah's Witnesses who EVER lived, as it was he himself who said:

"Jesus, in turn, answered them and said: “What I teach IS NOT MINE, BUT BELONGS TO HIM THAT SENT ME. If anyone desires to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching whether it is from God or I speak of my own originality. He that speaks of his own originality is seeking his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, this one is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him."

- John 7:16 - 18

And what did JESUS SAY regarding His Father's name in relation to his true disciples/followers (which the Bible says at Psalms 83:18 is JEHOVAH), he said to His Father [Jehovah] in prayer:

"Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you; but I have come to know you, and these [his true disciples/followers] have come to know that you sent me forth. And I have made your name [JEHOVAH] known to them AND WILL MAKE IT KNOWN, in order that the love with which you loved me MAY BE IN THEM and I in union with them.”

- John 17:25, 26

(True Christians therefore, MUST KNOW and USE God Almighty's personal name... Jehovah, God's name with true Christians is so important that the love in which Jehovah loves Christ as His only begotten Son is within them due to it... sounds pretty important to me).

We are all here because we recognize the importance of preparation. Some have called it “the ministry of preparation.” We see ourselves following the example of Joshua as he apprenticed with Moses, of Elisha as he served with Elijah, of the twelve as they followed our

Lord, and of Timothy and Titus as they learned from Paul. These men did not lack commitment or conviction. They did not lack faith or fervor. They knew something of the awesomeness of God. I believe they knew that God deserved their best. They chose to prepare in order to give

their best to God.

We who teach and preach have an awesome responsibility. We work with God in helping people understand the riches and wonders of His word. We know that Holy Scripture is God’s word. It is our guide and our standard in doctrine and in life. We also know that most people need all the help they can get in understanding and applying God’s word. I hope you don’t hear that as an insult to God or His word. I mean no insult. I don’t believe for a moment that God makes things difficult for us. In truth, I think we make things difficult for God. We’re so limited, so finite. That’s why we need all the help we can get in understanding God’s truth.

I love Ezra and Nehemiah. Nehemiah 8:8 reads, “So they read distinctly from the book, in the law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading.” I have no trouble at all identifying with the Ethiopian of Acts 8. Philip asked him, “Do you understand what you are reading?” You know the reply, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” The more I study the Bible the more I appreciate Peter’s words in 2 Peter 3:16. He mentions the epistles of our beloved brother Paul. He says of them, “...in which are some things hard to understand, which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.” There may be a thousand ways to misunderstand Scripture, but there’s only one way to get it right.

Why are we here? Why are we investing thousands of dollars and thousands of hours in the ministry of preparation? I want to share a short list of answers with you. First, we are here because we have an awesome responsibility. The God of heaven and earth has revealed Himself to us through Scripture. His word reaches across cultures, continents, and centuries to engender obedient, saving faith in our hearts. His word shows us His Son. It shows us His love. And we have been charged to preach the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in a way that people can understand. 2 Timothy 4:1-5, Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:6, and 1 Peter 4:11 all document this charge.

Second, we are here because we want to teach God’s truth with confidence, competence, and conviction. In 1Timothy 6:20, Paul told Timothy, “Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and vain babblings and the contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge...” He warned the Christians in Colosse, “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the traditions of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ (Col. 2:8).” The devil is good at what he does. He knows the value of confusion and doubt. He knows the danger of Christians who are absolutely convinced that the Bible is God’s Holy Word; that its truth can be understood, believed, lived, and taught. He doesn’t even mind us teaching that word, so long as we don’t teach it with confidence, competence, and conviction. The devil has so much well-packaged, sophisticated, and appealing misinformation in place. Only those who teach the truth of God with confidence, competence, and conviction can offer him any real competition. I know that the power is in the word and not in the preacher. Jonah shows us that in the Old Testament. Paul makes that clear in 1 Corinthians 1 and 2. But, we could never read Romans 10 and rightly conclude that the preacher doesn’t matter. We’re here because God deserves our best and because we know something of the strength of our adversary.

Finally, we are here because God’s word has more to tell us than we have as yet understood. I love that old statement, “The Bible is a pool of truth in which a child can wade and an elephant can swim.” So many fundamental truths are beautifully simple and crystal clear. At the same time, there are wondrous concepts which we may never fully grasp. You remember 2 Timothy 4:13. Paul is near the end of his life. He’s virtually alone and under arrest in Rome. Only Luke is with him. He writes to Timothy, “Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come -- and the books, especially the parchments.” Paul who trained at the feet of Gamaliel, who received direct, personal revelation from the Lord, who had visions more wondrous than he could describe still wanted the books and the parchments. He wasn’t through learning. He wasn’t through teaching. My prayer for us is t

You keep expecting that something/someone other than yourself is going to "make you better". As you can see, that isn't going to happen.

It's up to you.
