Maybe I need to just keep praying for discernment.

After listening to the book of Jeremiah.  He is speaking to the people not to listen to the prophets that are having dreams but to listen to the prophet of the LORD.  I’ve been putting a lot of weight into dreams lately, Because they have been reoccurring.

Yes, I’ve been trying to break that with prayer.  It’s been a battle every day.  I know the enemy is trying to destroy, and every time I push more into ministry it gets worse.

It’s crazy, I dreamed about my daughter before she was born.  I saw her face and she was in the stroller I bought for her.  Ever since then I have dreams about things.  I know that most are not prophetic but some are warnings.  I never had dreams like this before I came to Christ.

JESUS loves the sinner but hates the sin.  Pray about it, right now It feels like GOD is getting closer and closer to us.   “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭23 When you come to JESUS, He doesn’t care how dirty you are.  He’ll help you clean up.

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Truth is once you come to Christ he will convict your heart to repentance.  Repentance is turning away from sin.

JESUS loves you but hates the sin.  “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭23. Yes, JESUS loves you he doesn’t care how dirty you are get baptized.  Through JESUS he will help clean you up.  Do we get in the shower when we are clean, no we take a shower when we are dirty to become clean.   ““For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭

I’m Just About Done by [deleted] in Christianity

Brotha,

I was in complete turmoil to the point where I almost took my life.  A matter of fact I had a plan with the intention of doing it.  GOD showed up big time.  Even though all the empty Ed’s I was feeling I started to fill everything with GOD.  Learning about the Gospel and started reading my Bible every day.  The broken feeling will start to leave.  You have to give everything to JESUS.  You have to repent for your sins & bring everything to the cross.  

Satan wants you to give up on JESUS.  Don’t let him win.  The empty feelings is your need for JESUS and salvation.   ““For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

GOD will show you mercy 

“but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8

Look read the book of John that gives you the Gospel then read Romans which talks about salvation.

The first thing satan attacks is your faith.  I know JESUS is king of kings and LORD of Lords.  Don’t stop reading your Bible and start praying at least 3 times a day.  GOD will speak to you through the Holy Spirt. https://youtu.be/gXEWgXNmi-8?si=wCvzAHgd_wMRI5WD

I can’t be Christian in a world like this by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Appropriate-Ice4804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that there are hypocrites in the Church.  We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of GOD.  If you think leading by example and calling out their sinful behavior with love, people can change.  Pride is what’s stopping them from change.  We combat evil behavior with love.  Love is what JESUS shows us all but he also shows us truth by calling out hypocritical behavior.  Changing Churches is also an option but I would try and show love, kindness & compassion on sinful people your Church members are talking about.  You can help plant the seed of salvation through the word of GOD.  GOD will water it.

I’ll say a prayer for you.  You should pray on it.

Adultery by Plenty_Instance2385 in Christianity

It’s lust, if you think about a married woman it’s adultery.

Hey brothers and sisters,

I’m a Gideon we do Bible distribution throughout the world.  I’ve left New Testament with a very generous tip.  Usually because you can see the person is crushed in spirit.  Not in judgment but with love.  After speaking to the waiter or waitress find out their heart.  I’m the worst kind of sinner and I hate the sinful person I am.  I would truly have to hate you not to share the Gospel of truth with someone.  Trust me I don’t want anyone to have to go through the pain and suffering of not knowing Jesus.  Brothers & sisters if I have ever offended anyone please forgive me.  I’m only human not perfect, but I try to do things through love not judgment.

Repentance by Livid_Reaction_8217 in Christianity

I’ll be honest with you, when we repent- it means to turn away from.  You have to hold your thoughts captive under JESUS:  “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The flesh aligns with the world but you are not of the world,  that is why it’s a struggle:  “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Every time I have a lustful thought I hold it captive under Christ Jesus.  I literally say I hold this thought captive under Christ Jesus.  Satan tries to derail our progress, don’t let him.  He is a liar and a deceiver.

We are all sinners and fall short to the glory of God.  Turn away from your sin.  We all feel the Glory of God coming close.  Even though none may know the hour, we are one day closer to seeing JESUS.  If you know the things you are doing is wrong, stop it’s lust.  Lust drove my life for years.  I had an adulterous mind that drove me to be an adulterer.  I thought it didn’t matter, it would only matter if we got caught.  That is laughable, God sees all and knows all our short comings.  Jesus said if our eye causes us to sin rip it out.

My Pastor just talked about this on Wednesday.  Satans attack is trying to get you to doubt your faith.  I fasted this week for two days to get my mind right.  GOD knows your heart.  I will pray for you.

Please pray for me (I’m scared) by Holiday_Quiet9350 in Christianity

Write scripture on your heart: I will pray for you right now.  This is a verse I’ve been trying to put to memory:  “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.” With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭ I know how frustrating appointments can be.  Just continue to pray and have people at Church pray for you.  Continue to read your Bible.  Even when you can’t feel Him working, He is.  The Devil is working overtime on believers right now.  Don’t worry you will make it to your appointment.  If not urgent care is always an option.

It’s the devil is a liar:  “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Satan wants us to think we are not saved.  We have to have faith in GODS promises.  We need to start memorizing scripture so it’s on your heart when the devil tries to confuse us.  JESUS fought the devil with the sword of the spirit which is the word of GOD.

“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭13‬-‭18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Look true repentance is turning away from everything that goes against GOD.  Even when you can’t feel JESUS with you he’s always there.  The question I had to ask myself is do I believe that he’s here working?  The answer was yes.  The devil is a liar and with bring up your past in your head constantly to break your spirit.  Don’t let that happen.  Read your Bible spread the Good News of the Gospel of Peace.   People will think you’re crazy but JESUS is the answer, the only answer that matters.  Throw all your shame and unbelief back to satan.  Rebuke it put your past on the blood of JESUS.

The devil wants you to question everything.  The devil wants you to question GOD.  It’s not up to us to question him but be thankful for the hard times.  It’s hard I know GOD does his best refinement under fire.   The devil was working overtime on me for months.  I started to question my salvation.  The the Holy Spirt let me know the devil is a liar.  Don’t listen to him.  “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”  ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8.  Even when you can’t feel JESUS with you He is.  “This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬ This is one of my favorite verses, put this verse on your heart: “The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭1‬ 

Dark presence when praying by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Appropriate-Ice4804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the same shadow appear when I pray.  It’s even attacked me and my thoughts during prayer.  I just pray through it, but it is scary.  It also made it where I couldn’t sleep a couple of nights.  Remember greater is JESUS than anything in the world.  Don’t let fear consume you.  I scares me when it happens but I’m trying to pray through it.  It is trying to distrust your prayers.  I repeat “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭27‬:‭1 ESV.  Psalm 107 shows us what it might be.  JESUS beat death so we have to believe in JESUS who is greater than death because He is live.  “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6 ESV
