How to counsel people down about life situations

Q: I don't understand people. The sad situation is her giving her kid up and giving up herself " because she's so tired" of prayers not working her way, and doesn't have faith now.  I don't know what she wants us to do? Besides she has to help herself before anyone helps her, and she's giving up on God and her faith. How can we help?

She wrote: 
A: The truth is we live in a fallen world. The unsaved have it worse as they dont have God's special care over their lives. Earth is likecthe only taste of Heaven theyll get but believers earth's the only Hell we will taste. Eternity is our best life, not here. 

Many come for wrong reasons and embrace a false gospel; they think becoming Christian makes your life all rosey...nothing is further from the truth. 

Far too many think God is a genie to pray to and get what they want... and that's blasphemous. We are to align and conform to His Will. Not ours. 

Believers have God as our Soverign who works all things out, uses things we go through to grow our faith, and keep us close to him. Holding his hand through it all. We are not hopeless nor alone. He has plans for our life. We have to be looking, attentive, submotying and obeying. 

A lot of times people are not a member or active in Church, when they lament like this, and are usually always not reading Scripture daily nor praying. Theyve gone their own way. So probe with those questions too. 

Help try to bring her back to truth, or to salvation if she wasnt actually saved. 


Here are resources to minister to her. 

Freewonderfulbook.com pdf on false gospel
NeedGod.com vid shows the biblical Gospel 

*see suffering topic link here, and the 2 sermons linked here (on happiness/best life).

You can point her to all of these links, or minister to her over a few days with these truths. Guide her to a bible teaching church if she doesnt have one. At some point your counsel needs to end and like the Ethiopian,  she has to go off and follow Christ. 
Let her know you prayed for her. 


And, here are other resources to help you as you get equipped well to reach the lost and minister to the misinformed "believers" and youth you encounter. 😊✝️

God bless

Fornication led to pregnancy

Q: Recently I sinned by fornicating again. I did ask forgiveness from God for being unfaithful again. I thought God had forgiven me (& I’m no longer participating in such activities). I had just repented and made the effort to turn from evil, but...just found out I’m pregnant. It was one brief moment!! Really and truly I cannot believe I’ve went backwards like that and my life feels ruined. I don't understand. Did God truly forgive me? Should I stop praying, because I knew better but I didn’t do better. I said yes to my flesh and now it’s costing me. I’m willing to lose everything else, but to lose Jesus because of my sin - I really cannot bare the thought. A: You dont stop praying because things dont go your way. Prayer is to align you to God's will, (not for him to act as a genie who does what you want). You becoming pregnant wasn't a punishment from God; it was basic natural outcomes of happens when humans have sex. You know Scripture teaches sex was designed only ...
