Have lifted up prayers for you J4Jesus. Some day you will get your breakthrough. All you can do for now is prayerfully cling to hope.
Psalm 119:147-151 I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.
My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.
Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life, O LORD, according to your laws. Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are far from your law. Yet you are near, O LORD, and all your commands are true.

That's why I like to say, J4Jesus, that "I'm saved not because I'm so good, but because I am so bad."
"I'm saved by the work Jesus did on the cross IN SPITE OF or BECAUSE OF my condition."
God loved us and saved us "while we were yet sinners".
As far as their cursing or whatever, just be thankful that YOU yourself are saved; while it would be nice if THEY also believed, ultimately their condition is NOT your responsibility so I wouldn't worry about any of it.
When they see or hear you do stuff, and they calll you a hypocrite, just tell, "that's why God saved me, not because I am so good, but because I am so bad."
God bless, :BORN AGAIN

Man ya'll.
I want your input even if you don't want to give me any. At least from all those willing to.
Today was huge.
Lets just say i am very prideful, sinful, have so much Self Pity, and Farness from God yet He still has Called me which puts me in a SPIRITUAL RUT. This is retarded.
^^^
On top of that though, there's a war going on here.
Lets just say i Spilled the REAL Reasons to my "family" what the deal is.
First of all, i've Told them SEVERAL times, but being Spiritually Blind as they are, it goes over their heads.
They think they are Christians, yet they come home and start drinking the beer, and the cussing and the taking god's name in vain.
I even flat out revealed to them HOW they took God's name in Vain by saying it's not limited to just saying GD. As my family believes that saying GD is the ONLY way you take His name in vain. They don't even understand that.
I hate being around them and i get this drowsy sick feeling everytime i pull in the drive way or walk in or they walk in the room and i just leave and they think i'm HATEFUL because i don't want to be around them.
I don't because of what they do. And i've told them to stop but it doesn't look like they will.
Jesus or maybe it was Paul said/wrote that a Christian should not be in the company of Unbelievers.
It would appear to the public that we are a normal friggin family unit, heck no! I can't wait.
My parents try to tell me how to live good by dressing well, being social, going out on dates, being appealing to people
and Jesus taught the EXACT opposite. I swear, it's gonna be a Glorious Day the day i move out.
I've even heard my little sister cuss, and all her bad junk.
My family interrogates me. literally, as they call me into what ever room and make me sit down and just ask me all these dumb questions and i have to be able to answer them, even with the Biblical stuff and it's sometimes hard.
I've constantly told them to stop doing that but maybe they're so full of pride that they can't LET IT GO!!!!!
Yet, they Call me a Hypocrite and i knew the would.
I have looked at porn, i have cussed, etc...What do I Do?
And ALL MY PRIDE and Anger at GOD.
It's bad because I CANNOT HUMBLE MYSELF. Only God can, yet He isn't doing it.
It seems that even when i DO try, it's said to be NOT sincere ENOUGH or just ONLY a FEELING of being Humble but not actually living it. Ya know again, TALK ABOUT A RUT. It's like THERE"S NOTHING I CAN DO. How do I know God will Help Me?
And i mean ME? God helps who He CHOOSES.
So I got MY SINS vs. Me and my "family" vs. Me.
Pride is the GREATEST sin i have read and The Bible says God hates it. He resists the proud, etc...
Maybe He's resisting me because of Pride, yet only He can take it away and make it SINCERE HUMILITY. Because i certainly am not close to Him. And NEVER have Been.
Please read all the above carefully and see what's going on.
Thanks.
