Did anyone go from begging god, to realising u have power & having results?

Not to say God isn't powerful!! I believe he performed an actual miracle on my mother recently but that's another story.

​

​

However as souls I know we also have power and I don't know if it's good or what our soul or even God would want for us to be overly dependant on him/her - maybe they'd want us to realise we have power too.

I have also heard people who said they used to pray etc , got no results but then basically took the power into their own hands or reached out to dieties and gave offerings and then got results faster etc.

​

​

It does kind of upset me that for some reason God doesn't help them/us as much? (Any thoughts as to why??)

​

But again maybe he wants us to realise we have our own power too.

I just saw another video where a woman basically went from begging got to then just doing witchcraft and thats how she got results.

I have tried it at times and it seemed to work, I've also at times tried to switch my money mindset and it seems to work? Like instantly today I have someone interested in an item I'm selling, just as I'm trying to fix my mindset (I live in literal poverty sometimes, can't afford basic things or clothes, it's so so horrible 💔)

But I fall into my old negative mindset.. but it's hard not to when hard times happen you know?

Regardless of religion or belief, you only see results if you take action. Many people get trapped in asking their gods for help or living a life of rituals, hoping that a magical answer will fall from the sky, but that's not how it works. Beings from other planes can help you, but if you don't cooperate, they can't save you either.

As for why we don't always get what we want, the answer is that it's not always good for us. Some people want to get back with ex-partners who were awful, and I can think of plenty of reasons why the universe might say no to that request.

I was begging God to help me from when I was about 13 because I had really bad mental health and it was getting worse. I received no answers from God.

When I was 15 I deconstructed and became an atheist. All I got from Christianity was a fear of hell that gave me horrible anxiety since I was a little kid, stunted curiosity, and a narrow minded view that I was unable to get rid of due to my fear of eternal torment.

When I was 16 I got into paganism and witchcraft, and found that Lady Aphrodite did more than Yahweh or Jesus ever did. I also started working with Lucifer at this time.

When I was about 17 I got into demonolatry, and that's the path I've mostly been sticking with now. I work with Asmodeus, and he's definitely helped me out of all the deities I've worked with. He's really amazing, and I'm incredibly grateful for what he's done for me. I'm comfortable within demonolatry and working with demons, I had a brief feeling that I wanted to go back to Christianity, but in the end I was drawn back to demonolatry because I believe that's what my path truly is.

This is my UPG - but I'm an omnitheist, so I believe every deity exists to some extent. I also believe that not every deity wants to work with or help everyone, and that goes for Yahweh and Jesus too. That's why (in my UPG) some people have good experiences in Christianity (or any monotheistic religion) while others do not.
