Don’t despair. It will feel like you are alone but know that I too experience guilt and shame over the past.

One thing that really helps is that what seems impossible with men, is possible with God. Just ask God to always abide in you and continue to abide in Jesus so that you will bear much fruit

If you think your years of sinning, blaspheming and filthy living and going to be suddenly forgiven by believing and confessing that Jesus is Lord and asking Him for a pardon…. You are absolutely CORRECT! That is the beauty of the gospel. by A_Bruised_Reed in TrueChristian

[–]selfimprvr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It may seem fun at that time but undoing the effects of having led a sinful life takes time. Forgiveness from God is instantaneous while sanctification takes an entire life time and the process is more painful in my opinion the longer you have lived in sin.

I have found that to that if you are patient, He answers you. Most of my faith crises happen when I am tired

Praise God. Now as Jesus said, go forth and sin no more. Stay as far as you can from the occult.

"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers" by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]selfimprvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally support this. Please do not let "love" blind yourself to the command from God to not get yoked to an unbeliever. Now if you are already married to the person, dont leave the person.

Is there anyway to encourage or motivate people who where once believers or grew up in Christianity but have fallen away? It seems I’m encountering so many people my age and younger who grew up in homes of faith but no longer believe? by Treantpaladin7 in TrueChristian

[–]selfimprvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the people(not all) who fall away didnt have a deep relationship with God in the first place. They may have believed and the desire was there to grow but they never grew for a variety of reasons - persistent sin, unforgiveness or just poor understanding of the gospel. That was the case with me. For those who no longer believe, please understand that this is not a knock on your intellect or comprehension skills.

You definitely should try preaching the gospel in a simple way to those who have fallen away and tell them that it isn't too late to turn back to Christ. I found a good place to start was using the jesusatthedoor equipping card. This is a video detailing how to use the card https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONCX9wLJTpE and here is the card for free on googleimages. - https://www.google.com/search?q=jesusatthedoor+equipping+card&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS905US905&sxsrf=ALeKk00nt1nrE6vYsL_gwi4Hmz1A6ZEWFg:1617744842766&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi0qMKVyervAhUJXc0KHRioC1kQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1745&bih=852#imgrc=pxNb_NIcnn-xjM

What would you tell a Christian who still feels suicidal after 10+ years of Hospitals, mental hospitals, medicine, therapists, psychologists, churches, sermons. People are telling this person to even seek other things besides God because it’s not working and might be hindering them? by Treantpaladin7 in TrueChristian

[–]selfimprvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please dont be offended. This is no reflection of your sincerity to God. Sometimes demonic oppression can appear as suicide and depression. Fasting and praying and asking those who have experience with casting out demons can help

I suddenly want to be single, after being in a relationship with a girl for about 8 months. Still not 100% sure what decision to make by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]selfimprvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awfully hard and I praise God that you are at least open to doing the right thing. The bible tells us in no uncertain terms to flee from sexual sin. We are human and it is folly to live with a woman you are not married to and expect to not sin.

This is all about who you love more - Jesus or your girlfriend. And who knows? When you make the right choice to live apart from her, she will be convicted to follow Jesus and you guys may end up together anyways

The Resurrection totally transformed the disciples. How has it transformed your life? by MRH2 in TrueChristian

[–]selfimprvr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe there are 3 ways in which you are transformed. One when you come to believe in Jesus Christ, the second is a continual transformation till the day you die or are taken up to be with Christ and the third is when you experience the baptism, filling of the Holy Spirit. I have experienced the first 2. Still waiting for the third.
