Why Isn't God Helping Me?

Have you ever felt like throwing up your arms and saying ?I

Have you ever felt like throwing up your arms and saying ?I
quit! I just can?t change! I thought when God came into my
life things would get better, but they haven?t.? It
doesn?t matter if you?re a new Christian or have been a
Christian for a number of years, these feelings can creep
in and set you up for confusion and frustration.

So where did things go wrong? Many times our expectations
are wrong because we lack full knowledge of how things work
in the spiritual realm. We don?t understand that our spirit
has been renewed, but our soul (mind, will and emotions)
and our body (our five senses) have not been renewed. It?s
up to us to teach our soul and body to come into alignment
with how God wants us to live.

Does God abandon us until we get our act together? No! He
is with us every day, every hour. He provides us guidance
through His instruction book, the Bible. When we become a
Christian (believe that Jesus Christ is God?s only Son and
He paid the price for our sins by His dieing on the cross
and He was raised from the dead and ascended to heaven to
live there forever) God sends His Holy Spirit to live
inside us. Our human spirit literally becomes born again
by the Holy Spirit taking residence inside us.

The Holy Spirit has all of God?s power and love. Therefore,
we have all of God?s power inside us. This power will help
us change ? but we need to know what areas of our life God
wants to change. We learn this by reading the Bible and
taking action.

Through reading the Bible and praying we begin to transform
our thinking and our beliefs. One major thing we learn is
that God will not force Himself upon us. We are not puppets
in God?s hand. We have freedom to make choices. If we see
things God wants us to do (or not do) and we ignore that
instruction, our situation will not change. This is when we
get frustrated because we expect God to intervene in our
circumstances and force change.

Another major principle to learn is that things take time
to change. This applies not only to our personal character,
but also our circumstances. While we can work on developing
a godly character, because other people also have their
choices to make, God must wait for them to make the right
choices in order to set up a change in our circumstances.
And while we?re waiting, God gives us His grace and peace
to handle any situation we are going through.

Part of the process of change is planting spiritual seeds
(the Word of God), nurturing them, and allowing time for
them to come to full maturity. If we don?t plant seeds, we
won?t have anything to harvest (change in ourselves). This
is where we can get frustrated because we expect God to
make things happen quicker than they are.

The power to change things in ourself and our circumstances
comes from having God?s Word (Scriptures in the Bible)
working in our life. These ?seeds? get planted and rooted
in our heart through our actions. Knowledge alone will not
change us. We cannot hibernate in our room and only read
the Bible. We must put action to our new knowledge.

Many have been taught to pray to God for things we already
have inside us via the Holy Spirit. Thus, we don?t take
action because we don?t think we have what we?ve asked for.
For example, often we ask God for more love ? but we
already have all of God?s love inside us. What we need is
to ask God to reveal His love; to have His love manifest in
our life.

If you look through Scripture you will find that God
usually asked a person to take some type of action in order
to manifest God?s miracle (of healing). When a man
stretched out his hand, he was healed (Luke 6:10); another
was healed when he was told to get up (he was paralyzed)
and take his bedding and go home (Matthew 9:6-7); another
was healed of blindness when he went and washed in the Pool
of Siloam (John 9:7). The same holds true for whatever we
want to see manifested in our life. If we want love to
flow, then we must take action to show love and when we do,
God?s love shows up!

So when things aren?t happening in your life, ask yourself
whether it is because you already have inside of you what
you?re asking for, or if there is some action God wants you
to take to manifest the answer to your prayer.
