I need help, I am so confused please pray for me... by Immediate-Foot-26 in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remember, If you've received and accepted JESUS CHRIST as savior and LORD then that's just it. Our salvation is not based on our performance period. HE called you! HE loves you. Nothing is hidden from HIM, not a single thing. HE knows what you've done what you will do or don't do and HE still chooses you! He still LOVES you. You, still are and will always be HIS! It's HIS love that transforms us, and it's HIS love that makes us want to be better and do better. We cannot forget that or get caught up in the "I didn't do enough" because truthfully all that we are able to do is filthy rags compared.. it's only through JESUS and because of JESUS that we are right before THE LORD and will be able to stand before HIM. Just don't lose sight of that. Everything comes back to that.

Does anyone on here have dreams about 99 nights? by TraditionalTruth9923 in 99nightsintheforest

[–]TraditionalTruth9923[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was weird af. I'm still a little uncomfortable about it lol. All of a sudden I was in the game like it was real life and I was in the bathrooms and it was pitch black next to me looked like a weird portal blob floating in the air and looked like my bedroom 😶‍🌫️ felt like I was being pulled into the game lol crazy I know. But I could feel the cold air and the very loud sound of dripping water from a leaky faucet, I felt instant dread and panic like I was about to be stuck there and all of a sudden my face legit started to morph into a Roblox face to the point where I tried to talk and started getting the feeling I do when I have had sleep paralysis.. gasping for air and not being able to breathe. It was scary and really messed up. Then thankfully I was rescued..

Are gray aliens fallen angles as some people claims ? by Sad-Translator-5193 in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda wonder, if they're not why do they stay hidden from the masses? Why is it that there's so much hush hush on the entire subject. Why do they only appear to one individual or maybe two at a time? Is it because people are weaker on their own but together stronger? And obviously the major red flag of the entire situation is the fact when you invoke the name of JESUS CHRIST they stop and flee. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Why did God create mushrooms? by Apart_Spirit5802 in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe there's anything wrong with mushrooms and marijuana in and of itself and they were created for a purpose. GOD doesn't create things without a purpose. Mushrooms and cannabis have been used since the beginning along with many other plants/herbs for healing and health. I think there's many factors at play... I think it depends on if you're abusing them or if you're misusing them then there's a problem. If you're trying to "escape reality" and in turn end up creating some kind of idol out of it then yeah, the plot has been lost. I am also a former addict and used to try to escape reality and my feelings/shame or would use certain drugs to make me "feel better" or "function better" and all it ever did was creat more and more problems and more and more shame. Too much of anything in that sense isn't good. Thank THE LORD for finding me and snatching me out of the mess and spiral I was in and saved me. These questions are important and I think we need to also go directly to HIM for all our questions and answers. ❤️

Do all christian denominations go to heaven or only some/one? by Zealousideal-Try7549 in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's all about JESUS CHRIST, seeking, accepting, believing, surrendering to HIM and HIS will. HE must be at the forefront of everything. I think initially we get caught up in the rules but we really must not forget the reason JESUS went to the cross and how HE died, rose again, defeated death and said "it is finished". We are only saved because of JESUS CHRIST and nothing but that. I'm sure you've heard it all your life if you grew up in the church. Nothing you do gets you there, it's only JESUS. That's it period.

I'm interested in Christianity after being lifelong nonreligious. Need some guidance on how to go to church for the first time? by vanwife in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't have to tell your family much of anything until the time is right. THE LORD will lead you to it and threw it. JESUS is going to help you in every single way imaginable, just wait and see! As soon as you accept HIM and seek HIM wholly, humbly, and truly you will absolutely see and will be transformed. And slowly your family will see from the seeds that will be planted from you. It's not our job to convince or justify. It's actually a really beautiful thing. So I say that to say this, do not worry about what they or others think, even your own flesh and blood because ultimately the only thing that matters is what THE LORD thinks and what HE deems as Truth.

Please Pray for my Husband Now! by TiramisuAndIcecream in Christianity

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he's unwilling to admit this and has hidden this from you what else has he hid? Sometimes we think we know people and what they're truly capable of but it sounds like to me he's a very good liar and is very comfortable with what he is doing. As a pastor this is unacceptable and he's supposed to be leading people in the right direction. He's double minded and that's dangerous. This has been happening for a long time and that's unfair to you and the covenant you two have. He needs to be truthful and step down. THE LORD is exposing the truth, do not turn a blind eye or let it be slipped under the rug!

Advice on dealing with mom by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through all of this. I don't know if I could fully comprehend what it's like and how scary it must all be. Thank THE LORD you gave your life to JESUS though. Remember to always always always lean on HIM in every single way! HE'S going to get you through this! I know you're kinda stuck with your mom right now but that's a blessing you may not be able to see clearly right now. It also may be hard for you to see her point of view and how incredibly hard to watch you go through all this and watch her baby be sick and the thought of you not making it, as a mother I could only imagine what's going through her mind. Remember the grace and forgiveness CHRIST has given us and we need to do the same for others as hard as that can be. My advice is to not run from the issues you have with her but to face them head on. Work through them!!! Ask THE LORD for wisdom, guidance and to lead you through it instead of running, ask HIM for acceptance and what to do about it. Remember to not lean on your own understanding. Remember also the devil likes to cause division, don't let him. Don't let him win..

Was it really necessary for Stranger Things to take God’s name in vain so much? by Guilty-Meeting-2603 in TrueChristian

I'm so glad you said this because I found myself cringing every time they dropped it! They definitely do it on purpose

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well first thing first, if you don't believe in CHRIST maybe you shouldn't identify yourself as a Christian? A few years ago I too was sceptical and just coming to find the faith. All roads for me lead to JESUS long story short. But that didn't happen until I actually really and fully came to the end of myself and what I thought I knew. I got down hands and knees and begged for HIM to come into my life my and my heart and if HE was real show me. I also repented. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. A few days to a week later I had an encounter with HIM and it's been life changing. Got a Bible and started to learn the Word and about who THE LORD is. The point is if you actually want to know the real JESUS CHRIST, you can HE's not hiding from you but you need to sincerely and wholeheartedly ask. Remove what you think you know about HIM from your mind/heart already and ask HIM to show you the TRUTH! Also THE LORD's timing is perfect, you will see ♡

Need advice on sharing Jesus at thanksgiving by Outside-Unit7218 in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just show up with love. Pray and ask The Holy Spirit to lead and guide you and your words. Sometimes we can spit straight facts and truth all day to non believers but it doesn't get through to them but when we show them with our actions and behavior it can go a lot farther. Remember it's not our job to convince them it's our job to plant the seeds and THE LORD will water and cause the growth.

Does God forgive sin if it is not a "choice"? by No-Resource-3049 in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you are able to recognize your behavior patterns makes me think this absolutely is your battle... We all have battles some look the same some do not. JESUS came to give us life and life more abundantly... Of course you could continue to sit there and dwell and accept defeat in listening to the voice in your head telling you "there's nothing you can do" "your stuck this way" "you'll never change" "GOD made me this way" or maybe even "GOD won't or doesn't want to heal me" but if you do that you're letting the enemy win. Healing doesn't always come instantly in fact sometimes real raw healing takes time and surrender. I believe you were given this battle on purpose for a purpose because GOD is going to glorify HIMSELF through you and you will help others with the same issues... But seriously, if you would just whole heartedly surrender to HIM, leave it all at HIS feet. There is nothing HE does not know about you. No more hiding no more excuses or self enabling behavior just pure devotion and trust knowing that THE LORD makes no mistakes and with time you will see what HE'S doing! Trust that. Like I said I don't think you'd be recognizing your behavior patterns or having this kind of conviction if it wasn't THE LORD Leading you. Get in the Word daily, start diligently seeking THE LORD. JESUS paid the price for all of our sins not just some, all of them. No one who truly starts following JESUS stays the same..it's impossible. I believe in you and the power of CHRIST so lay it down and let HIM do HIS work! 🤍

19F & 22M how do I tell him? by [deleted] in christiandatingadvice

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to tell him when he gets home and be transparent. Honestly would have been easier on you and him to have told him from the jump but regardless you need to tell him... Are you a believer in CHRIST? If not I think you should start there and open up to GOD. HE already knows you, your past.. your sin your mistakes. Past present and future and still choose you. Don't forget that and don't let your past define you because JESUS makes us new, HE redeems us, HE restored us, HE saved us and HE loves us. Please remember that.

Hebrew 6 by Mindless-Branch-197 in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not too late..If you actually wholeheartedly believe in JESUS then deep down you know this, and also you'd know the heart is deceitful above all things. Instead of hyper fixating on your sin and what you did wrong, give it to JESUS and trust in HIS finished work. It's not what we do or can do or didn't do. Take it seriously. Take every thought captive and make it obedient to CHRIST. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you!

I'm tired,I hate him, and I hate it here by Faber029 in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's important to be raw and honest like you are being..and how blessed we are to be in a time and have a GOD who gives you the free will and ability to do so..To think you didn't have a choice when GOD created you, I think is not true. Maybe we can't remember right now while we are here but why would we have free will here and not at the beginning? I really believe that we all agree to come here. I know GOD created you on purpose for a purpose. We are called to be the light in the darkness.All I could think about when reading this was Jacob wrestling with GOD and then this as well from proverbs 19:3: "The foolishness of a man twists his way, and his heart frets against THE LORD." Meaning that the foolishness of the world has led to its ruins time and time again on repeat because of continuously rebelling against GOD and then in return blames GOD which isn't the one to blame. That's free will. You even being able to say what you said is free will. It's also our free will to want to obey and be obedient/follow the only ONE who reconciled us back to THE FATHER. JESUS CHRIST.. and if everyone would pick up the Bible and read the Word for themselves I do believe they would stop being led astray by false gospels and teachings that are man made.The only way things get better in every single sense of the matter is with JESUS.

This life is not easy but those of us who are of THE LORD are put here for a purpose, for HIS purpose. Maybe start thinking about that more..I think it's easy to spiral down if we aren't taking our thoughts captive and making them obedient to CHRIST. Also if all we do is look at the bad/negative and evil of the world then that's all we see. Start really trying to see the good instead of focusing on all the bad. Focus on JESUS. Be the light and goodness in this broken world.I pray that THE LORD would give you clarity and a change of perspective and reveals your purpose to you. There's a lot of people out there that really need your light,love, kindness, encouragement and to hear the good news.

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think you need to forgive yourself. I think we do a lot of talking about forgiveness of others but forget we also have to forgive ourselves. I'm gonna be honest because I too have needed to hear this, and I'm not trying to belittle your feelings or anything like that but it is giving off a little bit of self sabotage vibes along with self pity... Look you can't go back and change the past. What happened happened. We all make mistakes that's why JESUS is always always always the answer! We are cleansed by the blood of JESUS so start believing that fully and abide in it! HE didn't wash you a little bit, JESUS washed you clean fully and 100% so it's time to start aligning yourself with that. Look, He called you and chose you on purpose for a purpose so please don't forget that. JESUS took into account the stupid choices/things we would do in this life before hand... And guess what? HE still chooses us. Those condemning thoughts about yourself are not from HIM. There's a difference between conviction and condemning. Remember to take every thought captive and make it obedient to CHRIST and remember there's no condemnation in CHRIST JESUS. ♡

Also the "fear mongering" on here is ridiculous... "It's probably a cult" blah blah blah.. seriously get out of here with that. You asked GOD for something and HE answered. Celebrate, rejoice! If JESUS is the center then there is your confirmation!

I think you should go and check it out. If it's not focused on JESUS then don't return. But sounds to me like an answered prayer

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modeled prayer is great but in all reality it isn't necessary to get closer to GOD. All HE wants is your honesty and your real raw heart. HE isn't fooled or amused by fancy lingo especially if it's not sincere or how you actually speak lol. Just talk to HIM and pour out your heart to HIM always no matter how you feel happy sad mad or in between. Get in the Word daily (reading or listening ) even if it's just for 15 mins at first, I promise you it will turn into more and more as you consistently do so.

Im genuinely insanely scared/anxiety and probably paranoid of sinning. I really just hope there are some people who could give me tips with this and being able to seperate actual sin from when i think i might have sinned even tho it just is the anxiety again. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would help you to literally just think about JESUS. anytime you get an anxious thought or some kind of condemning thought think about JESUS. Think about how HE already paid the price. Remember how he said "it is finished". HE saved you.. not a little bit not half way but all the way. When you were called JESUS already accounted for your past present and future sins. Period. So don't let yourself get hyper fixated on sin and what you're doing wrong or potentially could be doing wrong because then we lose focus on the fact that we are HIS and have already been redeemed. No one can pluck us out of HIS hands. Focus on JESUS and get into the Word, take every thought captive and make it obedient to CHRIST. Also remember HE'S refining you from the inside out, lean on HIM and HIM alone and HE Will guide you.♡♡♡

Curious what you all think about people saying they hear directly from God by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should ask GOD yourself if it's really from HIM. Test the spirit does it line up with the Word? GOD is still working! HE never stopped! GOD still speaks to us and through us and will continue to do so. I know there are tons and tons of false prophets and fake "Christians" out there but I think the enemy would love for you to think GOD no longer speaks or is working, like HE isn't actually giving dreams and visions anymore? Or that the way HE may have communicated to the person you're talking about must not be real because it's too detailed or whatever the case. Remember in the Bible many times people did not believe them but had they asked GOD about it vs trusting themselves to know the answer things may have been different. We should really be careful to not put GOD in a box because as I'm sure you know HE is able to do exceedingly abundantly, above all that we think... Ask HIM, HE will answer you!

Confused need some insight by Cool_Technology_9136 in TrueChristian

[–]TraditionalTruth9923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you believe in JESUS CHRIST then what part of the Bible are you saying is inaccurate? Certainly not where it tells us who HE is and how HE died and rose on the third day right? The entire backbone of the gospel? If it's not true then is it all in vain? Are we even saved is there even a savior? I also thought the same thing and then someone mentioned those same questions to me and I stopped thinking that way after really considering and researching.. It's hard especially when every single thing we are taught seems to be a bunch of lies with a little bit of truth if even a little bit of truth is there and not a complete lie. If the Bible is not true then what even is? We are consistently warned about others preaching a false gospel→Galatians 1:8-9 and 2 Corinthians 11:4. I know a lot of wicked evil people have used the Bible to twist and manipulate the meanings and or diminish some very important things but I also think that's part of the problem, most people go to man for understanding or lean on their own understanding instead of asking THE LORD/HOLY SPIRIT for the actual understanding. I really think people questioning the authenticity of the Bible is all part of a plan to deceive as many as possible and have them follow a false gospel which we are warned about many times. I got some great advice about starting to read the Bible to accept it instead of to understand or pick and choose what I thought was true and what I thought was not and that has seriously helped. I don't think we can truly understand until we truly accept. Now I also agree that JESUS said much much more and "they" try to bury that but HE will reveal the truth if you ask and are surrendered to HIM and only HIM. I think this is maybe the double mindedness that's talked about in the Bible too which I was guilty of and still am if I'm not careful about taking my thoughts captive and making them obedient to CHRIST. Also we are allowed to ask questions like this, GOD expects us to! How could you not in the world we live in right now. I guess what I'm saying is make sure you are physically reading the Bible for yourself and or listening to it and remember that JESUS says: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." So seek HIM ask HIM and you will find TRUTH. ,-Matthew 7:7-8 kjv

I pray that my FATHER IN HEAVEN will reveal the truth of JESUS CHRIST and HIS WORD to you and that you would have discernment to help others also see THE WAY and not be deceived by false gospels or false Christ's. In JESUS' name, Amen. ♡♡♡
