A PERSON WROTE:



Hi Shanta, I have been wondering how you are doing . How are you?
I am ok my battle rages on with new thoughts like have I blasphemed the holy spirit by turning my back on God or ignoring the holy spirits warnings? Has my past stubbornness finally quenched the holy spirit? I had read in Hebrews if we continued in sin no sacrifice remainder for us.

I ask because I know I can ask you anything. Also my friend prayed with me and said God showed him how much I want a relationship with him. Is that Good? Then I thought it just showed only how much I want the relationship but then thought ..oh no do I not have this relationship with God?

Seriously Shanta if there were really not consequences that had torn up my life I would not be thinking like this.

Thank you for any thoughts and I am praying for you. God bless you:) _____

RESPONSE FROM DIVINE SOLUTIONS:
Hi ____:
Greetings to you in Jesus Mighty Name. I am good by God's grace just with a little fever and severe chest cold starting Friday Evening (I always drink the lemon/cucumber/mind/ginger infusion drink for fat burning - but this time i added more lemons based on one's instruction and caught sever cold. LOL) 
I read your mail last night, Indian time. I did not answer because I was not getting any thoughts from God regarding your mail.  Usually, I get instant flow of thoughts, but in your case I was not able to grasp what I should be saying to you.  It is not that some kind of encouraging words should flow out. It should be precise for your life.
It looks like you are dwelling on your failures. I do not see you taking steps really to overcome your failures.  Are you?
Christian life is a progressive life.  If you are not progressing, you are actually backsliding.......there is no place for self-complacency......​the standard keeps rising, just like in pole-vault game or high jump, how high you can keep on going....

You are saying that you did not hear the warnings of Holy Spirit and went ahead and crushed the Spirit of Grace under foot and insulted Him...the consequences is tangible and you are suffering in reality in spirit and body.....that may be true....but the hope is you are not dead and gone...you are still alive....you can take some efforts to in your thoughts and mind and lifestyle changes, to receive the grace still present for those who truly repent of their sins and want to get back to God....
For example, if anyone has fallen into a sin and lost the presence of God in their life, one need to realize how precious the Presence of God is and how much it means to them.....and one has to show one's desperation to God and compel God for His compassion and mercy......God is compassionate and long-suffering and is merciful....He will look down upon the person and restore the joy of salvation and renew a steadfast spirit within that person...
Psalm 51 New King James Version (NKJV)
A Prayer of Repentance
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
51 Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight—
That You may be found just when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
The God of my salvation,
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.
18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
The anointed servant of God and the King of Israel, David committed adultery, a conspired brutal murder, and covered up his hideous crime under a illusion of nobility and authority....but he did not escape the Righteous El Roi - The God who sees me...He sees both the good and bad...not as people see, but sees the motives and intentions of the hearts....He faced judgement in the hand of God, his baby born out of sinful act died, but he accepted the judgment of God, for he knew GOD HAS THE RIGHT AND POWER TO JUDGE and HE IS THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE AND HE HAS TO ESTABLISH JUSTICE IN ALL THE EARTH even in the life of His chosen anointed ones......

Then follow David.....take steps to follow God with all your heart with all your soul....now how David's heart has changed so much after the judgment...when he was old and cold and even his blankets did not keep him warm in the nights, they married him a young damsel to keep him warm...

I kings 1:1
Now King David was old, advanced in age; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not keep warm. So his servants said to him, "Let them seek a young virgin for my lord the king, and let her attend the king and become his nurse; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm."
So they sought for a lovely young woman throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 The young woman was very lovely; and she cared for the king, and served him; but the king did not know her.
See the change in David...that was the drastic change....totally transformed....
What I am saying move on...to take steps to get back in relationship with Jesus, show Him how important for you the relationship with Him matters, if you take one step to get to Him ...He takes 9 steps towards you...that is our God......
https://leahmariemiller.wordpress.com
When we love somebody, we tend to please that person.  We tend to give importance to the things that are important to that person.  It is the same with God....What does He like? What does He hate?  Everything is in the Bible. 

Proverbs 6 says
These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.  

​Ask the Lord to help you love the things He loves and hate and remove what He hates. ​ Until you take step in remove the things He hates , out of His love He will take action to forcefully remove the things He hates in you because He loves you. 
Do not assess your worth based on anybody's approval or otherwise.....Try always win for HIS approval in your life...that will bring in content and satisfaction and meaning to your life......
With this I wind up here.....may the Lord help you to take steps in getting close to Him

THE  PERSON WROTE BACK:
Hi Shanta,

Thank you for your really encouraging email, which you took so much time to write and put much care into.

I hope you will be feeling better quickly and I will be praying for you!

I hope it is not bad that is so unforgivable to God that I am having these thoughts and problems feeling joy and him in my life?

Well yes I was explaining the time when I backslid and ignored Gods warnings. Sad and embarrassing. Yes it is hard to not keep going over the things of the past that have had really bad consequences that is a reminder each and every day.

I don't have any desire to sin or anything now I hate sin. I am not repeating my old sins and as I may still sin as we all do I am aware of and really care if i am sinning.

I do love Psalm 51 too. Thank you. I printed out the other emails you gave me and read them. They said if we still have air in our nostrils it is not too late and God loves the repentant sinner like the man whos father ran to him. I want these to atill be true for me today and hope I am not causing harm. I will try to change the thought patterns.

I am sorry for hurting God and I am taking steps to move towards him. I haven't gone back to old ways I just want to have peace knowing everything is ok with God and I and hope he understands what I am going through.

We keep the praise music on all the time and going to church and because I am trying to get close to God.

I was only hoping I had not messed up my chances through my thinking patterns during this valley I am going through. I have been a huge disappointment to God and myself. I so do not know how he sees me. I never felt such sorrow, loss, and pain in my life. I cried the other morning and it felt like God was wiping the tears off my face. All he wanted to ever do is love me.

Thank you friend in India:) I hope it has cooled down I saw it was very hot in the news and that people were suffering and that some people died. That is so heartbreaking to me .

Thank you so much again. I also loved your last post on your website. Thank you for being so caring and a safe person to talk to.

God bless you,

RESPONSE FROM DIVINE SOLUTIONS:

Dear ____:
I am doing better with "peppered and gingered" hot chicken soups.  Thank you for reading the posts on the website.  Your questions and life, I  believe, is a blessing to many many people.

India is cooler now with the South-West Monsoon started across the
​ western coast of India and North India. Some parts of India are receiving heavy showers.  The season has changed from hot summer to rainy monsoon. 

I just would like to remind once again about what I wrote to you yesterday. You are fighting with the thoughts of failure that you have let down the Holy Spirit. Just know that God understands you and He wants you to have to come back to Him again.  He wants you to have that steady walk with Him.  Not falling and getting up...again falling and getting up...but now the most important point "YOU ARE TO GET UP" and You are doing that..."YOU ARE GETTING UP"  you are not laying down...still in that fallen state.....
This morning God reminded the words I wrote to you yesterday.  It just flashed back in my mind in my prayer time and I kept saying to God "Lord You are Important to Me..." sometimes...ministers are carried away by what they do for God and not by what they are to GOD.....
Again, today I meditated on David's life...after his sinning with Bathsheeba, after his baby was struck dead by God...do you think that was the judgement of God???? No.... subsequent chapters showed how much he suffered after....

His daughter was wronged by her brother - David's daughter Tamar who is the sister of Absalom was liked by another son of David called Amnon ....Amnon liked Tamar and wanted her and then wronged her but hated her very much after using her...this was more wicked than before...Absalom was very angry and kills Amnon....just imagine the agony of David...one daughter was mistreated by his own son..another son kills him...

2 Samuel 13 New King James Version (NKJV)
Amnon and Tamar
13 After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. 2 Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her. 3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man. 4 And he said to him, “Why are you, the king’s son, becoming thinner day after day? Will you not tell me?”
Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 So Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’” 6 Then Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let Tamar my sister come and make a couple of cakes for me in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”
7 And David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Now go to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.” 8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. Then she took flour and kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes. 9 And she took the pan and placed them out before him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said, “Have everyone go out from me.” And they all went out from him. 10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to Amnon her brother in the bedroom. 11 Now when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.”
12 But she answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing should be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing! 13 And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.” 14 However, he would not heed her voice; and being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.
15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”
16 So she said to him, “No, indeed! This evil of sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me.”
But he would not listen to her. 17 Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, “Here! Put this woman out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her.” 18 Now she had on a robe of many colors, for the king’s virgin daughters wore such apparel. And his servant put her out and bolted the door behind her.
19 Then Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her robe of many colors that was on her, and laid her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly. 20 And Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry. 22 And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad. For Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

Absalom Murders Amnon

Then comes treason of Absalom.... Read through the chapters of 2 Samuel 15 through 19....
Absalom wants to become the king while David was still the king and David runs for his life...finally Absalom gets killed and David mourns for his son's death...

Shimei curses David....David endures it patiently saying that the Lord has allowed it ....
    ​
Judgement after judgement...because of sin......He kept accepting the rightfulness of God's Justice in his life...and then He says finally in his last words......‘He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the fear of God. “Although my house is not so with God, Yet He has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things and secure."

2 Samuel 23 New King James Version (NKJV)
David’s Last Words
23 Now these are the last words of David.
Thus says David the son of Jesse;
Thus says the man raised up on high,
The anointed of the God of Jacob,
And the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me,
And His word was on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said,
The Rock of Israel spoke to me:
‘He who rules over men must be just,
Ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises,
A morning without clouds,
Like the tender grass springing out of the earth,
By clear shining after rain.’
5 “Although my house is not so with God,
Yet He has made with me an everlasting covenant,
Ordered in all things and secure.
For this is all my salvation and all my desire;
Will He not make it increase? ​

He understood God perfectly and said that God wants those who rule over the people must be just, ruling in the fear of God.  In cases if they do wrong God's judgment will come.  Although my house is not so just and fearing the Lord, yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant.....I have included the verses below...just imagine ____, how much GRACE David had in the Old Testament period...how much more we have in this ABSOLUTE GRACE PERIOD of New Testament.  You need to claim the blood of Jesus for your washing daily and to have a relationship...the blood of Jesus speaks better things about you and me....EXALT the Sacrifice of JESUS on the cross for your sake and come before the Father...When FATHER GOD comes to smell your worship and prayer, HE SMELLS only JESUS' and THAT SATISFIES HIM and THAT JUSTIFIES YOU!! 

Your questions of acceptance and approval are settled in the SACRIFICE of JESUS CHRIST.  BELIEVE THAT AND PROCLAIM THAT...WALK IN IT AND POSSESS IT!!

With Love and Prayers,
​In Christ's Service,
Sis. Shanta Daniel

THE  PERSON WROTE BACK:

Hi Shanta.....

Glad you are doing better, the soups sound really good.  Thanks for saying that my questions and life are a blessing, i hope so! You are a blessing. Thank you. 

True, what you say about David, God loved him, but he still had many consequences for his sin. I am going to keep saying "Lord you are important to me" and sometimes, I say "God loves me," and repeat that.

Well Saturday was such a hard day I thought i can not go on one more day. Seriously things are that hard. Life has never been like this before, but the next day at church was great I know God showed up because my friends were praying for me, and one lady I have only met a few times came up and prayed for me that my bad dreams would go away, I haven't told one person that I have bad dreams every night now. And she prayed I can be a pillar of strength etc. 

Well I go to church not to hear these things, but simply to be in fellowship with others and to learn. I always loved to learn and to take notes on messages. 

My friend prayed for me , and I didn't expect anything, except that God comes to us when we can't go any further on our own, when we need help from him, or to hear from him. 

My friend prayed and said "____ you will fly again, but this time it will be different because I will be leading you" and "I have not forsaken you or ever left you" and "you have been seeking me for a long time now, I love you " "I will heal you" "i am strengthening you \"  well it was a lot of words, so I can't remember it all. this is a good church, no weird vibes, and good real people teaching right out of the Bible so I do not doubt that God is speaking to me here. 

Plus the week before a man at the church i had not met prayed with me and said "God showed me how much you want a relationship with him" He doesn't know anything about me either. 

I had felt such distance but I haven't quit, even though at times where I thought that I committed blasphemy by ignoring God's warnings, his voice, and more, not living right ( not like i was so horrible, i just know I could have done so much better) so much. I thought I had quenched the Holy Spirit etc.  I guess I felt this bad because this is the lowest point in my life.  I was devastated if I had done that, life is not worth it without God.  I never meant to be distant from him. 

What do you think and I appreciate you, 
God bless, ____

RESPONSE FROM DIVINE SOLUTIONS:
Dear ____:

Sorry for the delayed response.  I recovered from cold by God's grace.  

I was wondering that you are struggling with the feeling that God has distanced from you though time and again He is speaking to you through people around you.  You have to believe the WORD God speaking to you than your feelings and walk by Faith to obey Him, please and Love Him with all your heart and soul.  Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Believe that your prayers are heard every time you pray.  You will eventually come into the realm of hearing God speak to yourself, sense His presence, and touch His glory......do not be in unbelief.....people cant come to God when they have unbelief...Hebrews says...when we approach Him we have to believe that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him....

People pleasers can’t be pleasers of God.  Remember Saul became a pleaser of God and His priority shifted...then he disobeyed the Word of God...once you disobey the Lord, you might not hear His subsequent commands because He does not talk to somebody who cares nothing for His words or commands....He keeps silent...in that case Saul was disturbed that God was not speaking to Him and so he did not seek God more and mend his ways, but instead went to a Diviner - to talks with spirits through mediums which is abominable to God and so he lost once and for all his scope with God.......

www.pinterest.com/pin/416653403001794274/
We need to be God chasers and set right our priorities, mend our ways, and run after Him...go deeper...no matter how distanced you FEEL....God is true to His WRITTEN WORD....as you walk in HIS WAYS according to the written WORD....the cloud clears and your relationship and direction with God gets clarity......His PRESENCE and HIS GIFTINGS operate in you and through you for the benefit of the others....... 

With love and prayers,
Shanta Daniel

THE  PERSON WROTE BACK:
Thank you so much for your email Shanta...

At first this email didn't hit me the right way but thinking about it and rereading showed me you are right and I am thankful God still loves a person like me that he is strengthening. What a good God to take on any person project.. and to be patient with us.

I do not want to be like Saul and yes I want to be used by God !:)

Thank you so much for your patience with me as well... Your email is very helpful and a blessing. I will be working hard on my walk I keep the worship. Music on all night, set aside Bible study in the morning and I am at church and going to a bible study. & volunteer as,of last week to take food to homes. The first day I did volunteer I felt great to be used by God and got to encourage a young man to get back involved at church.

I will be asking Him to forgive me for doubting and or struggling.

God bless you..your friend in the USA.
