I have been a christian for more years than I am willing to admit, lost my faith once when my father died and I was seventeen., God has shoned me many miracles, healings, and visions, but I live in confusion, I have a hard time making commitments, I can't even decide what to eat!!. I love my maker, and know he is with me, but I am very aware of the devil trying to steal my love. I feel like there is a war going on in the heavens for my soul. I have been thro many trials, I knew the Lord was on my side, but the trials never stop, I can never relax and know I will get a break from it all.

If you can give me some directions, please advise me. I feel lost, I will
not stop loving God, I believe he knows that. How can I get a clear head???
Thank You

Simply quit trying to figure it all out with your mind which is why there is so much confusion, God didnt make you to figure it all out he made you to walk with him and trust in him letting him show you the way. Every single time we try to figure it all out we only get more confused because we are trying to run things and figure it all out with are little minds when we are simply to put on the mind of Christ and let him lead us and not worry about anything. Jesus is the author and finisher of are faith therefore he will be the one to take care of your faith and all that goes on in your life so simply move out of the way with your thinking and yield to the Holy Spirit and his anointing instead of your ways and you will not be confused..

Once you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, the devil is going to do all he can to 1. keep you from being happy ( stealing your joy) and 2. keep you from doing works for God because that just makes his work harder. You betcha there is a war going on, the closer you draw to Christ the more Satan will throw at you, but take heart, because the Holy Spirit is there to help. Just ask the Holy Spirit to be your guide, to lead you in all that you do, say, and think. He will help you, just ask Him to. And don't be afraid to ask the Holy Spirit personally, because He is a person just as the Father and Jesus are, respect Him and call upon Him by name and see what happens, I think you will be amazed.

Ruth, you are precious in God's sight and the devil is fighting you on every side. God has blessed all of us tremendously. Your love for God is there and he is maintaining you. I do feel like Christians have to do more to prepare for battle: we have to become active. I'm working on these items. I do feel like we're being attacked. But Ephesians 6 says to put on the full armour of Christ:
- helmet (salvation); righteousness (breastplate); truth (waist); faith (shield); sword (God's Word), and shoes (witnessing). God's Word is powerful (if you have a hard time understanding KJV, suggest getting another version) and we need to speak God's Word more. It will become internalized (develops faith) when we speak it. Another thing is to take communion often. I'm still working through this one. Never realized until a few weeks ago that communion can be taken at home. Because of what it represents, it is so powerful. One last thing - I'm still working on this too - know God's peace. He doesn't want us to be confused, fearful, etc. God wants us to trust Him in everything b/c he's got it under control.

Summary: prepare for battle, speak God's Word, take communion, and learn to rest in God's peace.

Sorry I pressed tab and it submitted the reply.

Also, keep your mind on God by quoting his scriptures or praising God all through the day to fight off the negative thoughts. It doesn't have to be lengthy - just something like - Greater is He that is within me than he that is in the world. Or I'm in God's peace. Or I chose not to be fearful, or confused, I feel God's peace and I have wisdom.

Suggest that you speak positive confessions every day.
