Wow great testimony brother. Thank you for sharing! I can see why you are so passionate about this topic. I can relate too in some ways. When I was saved 8 years ago, I felt his presence and guidance powerfully. After a failed relationship with a ex-gf that I thought God told me was the "one", I was broken, depressed, fell into sin, hurt, things of this world and was running from God. I stopped hearing from him even tho I was still a believer. But God's grace wouldn't relent and kept showing up in odd ways to pull me back to him. And then two years ago after my marriage, I was going through a hard time at my work. I told my wife that we needed to submit and surrender our lives fully to him daily. Few days into daily Bible study and prayer, God showed up powerfully. Began hearing his voice once again and his guidance. I then realized how much I need him as he began leading me and teaching me right doctrine and showing me his ways. God bless you.
Amen! Thank you for sharing that powerful testimony. Praise God for his mercy, compassion, and patience. “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:30-32
Good to know you can get it back again.☺️ I know the desolate, terrified feeling you’re talking about. It wasn’t that long ago I was face down in the floor with what felt like a foot in my neck, begging for His mercy over the issue of spiritual adultery. The Lord has unique ways of letting us know the things He cannot tolerate in our lives and accomplish His purpose. But if faith is our ultimate victory, I don’t see how losing that faith in His sacrifice and finished work gains anything, in fact, I feel it is knowing He has me in his grip and a revelation of the true degree of the love in that grip that ultimately brings me back to a state of peace and heartfelt reconciliation. I’m so glad you have returned to that state, my Brother.♥️
Let all my life testify: hallelujah, we are not alone. God really loves us. And this is our hope: the cross it has spoken . Death is no more, Christ is the Lord. His mercy’s enough-forgiveness or healing, come if you’re needy, his mercy’s enough. -Crowder, God Really Loves Us
@@Lil_das Hi, Dillon. No, there have been times in my life when I felt detached from God and numb, but I actually did not feel hardened to him at the time. I just don’t always make the best choices, and it was frightening to realize the severity of what I had done. The most recent church I attended took the stance that if you cannot go back in your life and pinpoint an exact time when you made a complete change in your behavior, you have never truly been saved, but I tend to believe now that salvation is a path, life long, and series of tests and experiences through which we are transformed into the likeness of Jesus; we aren’t just automatically changed. I was saved at age 14, and at least that is what my lifelong experience has seemed to be. When I truly analyze it, I have to believe that the security of our salvation is in God’s hands, since it is based in our faith of His righteousness and ability to save us, and not ours. We are saved by Grace thru Faith in Him. (Galatians 2:8-9) But one of the hardest lies to overcome is that it is based on our actions. I hope this is not confusing. We are all struggling in such difficult times. Give it to Jesus-he promises rest. Much love to you.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. I Corinthians 13: 9-12
Great testimony mate. Very similar to mine, except I was handed over with a reprobate mind. It’s a place no one wants to end up. God, thankfully gave me another chance, and pulled me out in a spectacular fashion. You are so right about obeying God. You can’t just accept Jesus and then go and carry on in the world. Although it can be easier said than done, the evil one is cunning, intelligent and has had thousands and thousands of years practice.
@@user-zo5nu2zt6v Hello mate. So to start with, “the reprobate mind” I had was one where where I felt no remorse for my actions, no matter how awful my sins. Drugs, women, anger, rage, deliberately bringing people down that looked happier than I.. and I almost felt compelled to do it. It was like something was driving me. I know what (or who) had me now. Anyway, in September 2017, I was sent to the church by my brother, who is a Christian, and after I started worshipping/seeking out the Ananaki he became convinced I was over run by Satan. Given I love my brother, and I was borderline suicidal, I thought, stuff it, what’s the worse that could happen - “I’ll go check it out-I’ll probably burst into flames, but why not” . So I went, and I felt ‘safe’ there - that sounds strange I know. Then, I started reading the Bible, again, I felt protected when reading the Bible. Then, the attacks started intensely. During this period ( attending Church and reading the Bible ), I started to be attacked hard by Satan. I started having sleep paralysis, hallucinations and demonic visions. The only time they stopped was when I was in the Bible or at Church - so I started reading the Bible or seeking God up to 6 hours a day. Then, (after about 5 months of this), something incredible happened. I was watching a video of a man talk about his relationship with Jesus, when all of a sudden I was overcome with this incredible sense of peace and oneness, it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever felt. I started crying, and I felt this peace and oneness washing over me. It felt like all my senses were one, and I just felt pure love and peace. Words can’t explain this feeling, it was/is incredible. After this, everything changed. I lost all my sinful desires, I grew a very significant conscience and wisdom about right and wrong, and saw beauty instead of evil in everything. I got a job, and just kept succeeding - until I was running the company. I now own my own company with 10 staff and growing. But, I thank God every day, and nothing gives me more peace and more comfort than taking refuge in God every day, and every night. I will say one thing to you though. Never deviate from God’s word - the Bible. If you go to Church, make sure it’s solid scripture and no “fluff”. It is so important. God doesn’t want 10% of you. He doesn’t want 70% of you . He doesn’t want 95% of you , he demands all of you, and you willingly give it when you believe. So please brother, hear that if nothing else. He will come to you, but you have to seek, earnestly and truly believe.
I had almost the same experience, and I know had I not yielded to the Holy Spirit after I had backslided so far once He came upon me again I would have been given over to a reprobate mind. I have no question about it. I was so afraid I surrendered everything, and been fighting every sense to hold to God's unchanging hand. Praise God brother.
I had a similar experience. Different story but all the same points. It came to a point where god said choose. I spent days in a room wrestling with him. I was like a hoarder and God said here throw all this into the fire. Still I went through it piece by piece saying how about this? Then I would attempt to justify it. He would say nope let go of it. I did that over and over. Some things seemed impossible to let go of. "Well surely i can't throw this in because of this". He called my name and said trust in him. Lay day all the things of the world including my life and trust in him and he would sort out the worries. I did. The moment i truly let go of that hoard of sin and put my trust in christ, demons that were oppressing me ran in fear. The holy spirit came over me and I was new.
I had a very similar experience. I was at the precipice. I knew it was last call from my Maker. I rent my heart, praying every word of Psalm 51 from the core of my soul, and resolved that even if He wouldn't forgive me, even if I'd gone to far and insulted Him too much, I would devote the rest of my life to giving Him the glory justly due His Name. And to my astonishment and eternal gratitude, He did forgive. He did not remove His Spirit from me. I escaped destruction by the skin of my teeth. though I'd been a believer for years by that time, THAT was the point that if my Savior were to stand before me, I would grasp His feet and kiss them with genuine adoration. My heart, soul, life, hands, home, everything are His. Praise God for His great Mercy!
That is pretty much EXACTLY what happened to me! I decided one day that even if God was going to cast me into hell, He is still worthy of the entire rest of my life! That made a new resolve in my mind that I believe God honored.
@@Goldtaker23 repent. Cry out to God. He is merciful to those who repent. Psalm 51. But be wise. He won't bear with us forever. Tomorrow is not promised. What would you have in exchange for your soul?; even the whole world? Luke 9. Be jealous for God! Fiercely defend your peace with Him! Jesus paid out all and sent us the Helper so that we are no longer under the dominion of sin. Whoever sins is a slave to sin. But the Truth will set you free (John 8). Know this: God is faithful to make a way of escape when you are tempted (1 Corinthians 10:12-13). Lay down your sins and don't look back. Take up your cross and follow Him. Don't crack the door to the enemy. He's a thief and a murderer. Praying for you. Be faithful.
@@jarthurpaxton9223 Thank you that means a lot :) ive been so confused about what is truth and what isnt ive felt stuck how do I repent correctly ? Because I have tried a lot and failed time and time again I believe I was fighting with the Holy Spirit while in that sin I didnt know that at the time but I think thats what I was doing I just hope I havent gone to far thats my fear I will keep persevering and reading the word praying and repenting I appreciate your prayers a great deal 🙂
@@Goldtaker23 if you still fear God, it is good. That is the beginning of understanding. I encourage you to immerse yourself in prayer over Psalm 51. It is one of the best expressions of repentance. And you will know it's accurate because it's God's word. Within it you will find that the sinner must honestly admit he has nothing at all to offer God to make right. He can only bring a broken and repentant heart. You will find that God will not despise or reject such a one. You will find that the sinner must be honest that he doesn't even want to do the right thing much of the time. But he yet pleads for God to create in him a pure heart, a willing heart, and a steadfast spirit. Yes, as Jesus declared in the beatitudes (that is Matthew 5,) those who hunger for righteousness shall be filled! How hungry are you? Can You feel The pains of starvation in your soul? The hopelessness of spiritual poverty produced by sin? Are you afraid to even look up and can only beat your chest and cry out "have mercy on me God a sinner"? (Luke 18). And will you devote your redeemed life to teaching transgressors His Way? What can the dying flesh hold onto? What can the devil offer you? Nothing. It's all lies. Brother we've lived like fools long enough. And God has been very patient with us. We hear His voice today and we repent. Do whatever it takes. Kill the sin in your life and so demonstrate your love, faith, and allegiance to God and His Christ. You will find mercy for your soul. Then you'll live free of guilt and looming judgment. You'll live with a peace and joy no one can take. And though you suffer in this life and yet perish bodily, you will enter heavens narrow gate and dwell with Him forever and behold His glory. THAT'S worth living for! One thing I ask! That the LORD let me dwell in His presence for my life eternal and behold His glory. He is the Author and Originator of all that is good. Anything else is a worthless imposter. Come to Him. Be filled. Be restored. Be an object of glory and not shame and regret.
This sounds like me Your story is truly genuine. I miss my relationship with God I do believe once we get here it’s harder to come out and only his mercy can help us. I have yet to regain the Holy Spirit back .This is sad and hurts me . I feel I lost all conviction and discernment I used to love to pray this is truly a great story please pray he may have mercy upon me since I knew better
You are right it can be difficult. If you backslid you hurt God. But God is wishing that all reach repentance. Look at what happened after the prodigal came back. The father killed the fattened calf and embraced the son. Friend you have to love God. God’s love language is obedience. Prove to shod you love Him and will stop at nothing to love Him with all your heart mind soul and strength. James 4:6-10 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. This is a promise. That if you draw near to Him He WILL draw near to you. Do you believe that? The only thing that’s stopping it then is you and your unbelief. God bless.
On here is really the best way to contact me. Please just start a new thread. Who knows, maybe your questions are ones that others may have as well and it may bless them too!
Amen. We must repent when we disobey him and obey him til the end. Great testimony! I'm glad God didn't give up on you. Love you brother and God bless!
Angela, I love your statement, “God didn’t give up on you”. It appears that repentance is an ongoing process, demonstrated by the aged crowd gathered with the adulterous woman leaving first, but God gets the last word.😊
Amen Powerful Testimony. I had a similar experience and what was amazing was when I was bitter and angry I felt myself separated from God. What blew me away was how faithful he still was to me wanting me to follow him in a path of forgiveness towards the person I was angry at. It took a lot of sacrifice, brokenness, and repentance but it was all worth it in the end.
Yes God is faithful and merciful and long suffering wishing that none should perish but that reach repentance and a knowledge of the truth. He is striving with man, but there comes a time where He will no longer strive with man and the doors will be locked and they will plead and cry out let us in. But He will tell them depart from me I do not know where you come from! You worker of iniquity!
I very much understand what you’re saying! It’s to long of a story to tell here,but here’s the short version. I had an amazing conversation just like you, and was promoted very quickly in the ministry. I was worship leader, and preaching to a congregation of about 100 by the time I was 6 months old in the lord! I was preaching almost as much as the pastor was! I was playing in a outreach band, and also was youth leader! ButI got puffed up, and started thinking I was special, and was prefered over everyone else by God! I got filled with pride because I was promoted so quickly, and it led me to a very hard fall! And I sinned, and because of that, I became convinced that I was going to hell. And could not be forgiven! I was so deceived that I could never be forgiven from the very bad choice I had made to sin, that I just decided to fulfill every desire I had! And I just gave up! And God gave me over to my own heart! After a little over a year, I ended up lower than I ever imagined I could ever had gotten! I wanted to die, but I knew without any doubt that if I died in that state, I would go to hell! I literally became the very thing I despised the most! And just wanted to do anything, and everything to make me forget everything! And because of this, my health became really bad, and one day I started getting chest pains so bad, I could hardly move, it hurt so bad! Then it just came in my mind, how I heard if your having a heart attack, if you take some aspirin it could save your life. And I remembered that I had seen aspirin in the dresser by the side of the bed a few days before that. So I somehow managed to crawl to the side of the bed, and opened the drawer. Then in the drawer I saw the aspirin, but somehow my Bible that I hadn’t seen the whole year, and was not in the drawer a couple days before when I saw the aspirin, was right there next to the aspirin! And so clearly I heard God say to me, Choose! And I knew with everything in me, I had to choose the world or Him right at that minute! I chose, and picked up the Bible! I crawled back into the middle of the bed, and just randomly opened the Bible. And my story is getting long sorry, but when I was about a month old in the Lord, I woke up in the middle of the night, because I felt a hand rubbing my back, like a father would rub his babies back in the crib. And I heard a voice tell me to write down a certain scripture, and I wrote it down in the back of my Bible! When I opened the Bible that day randomly, not where I wrote it down in the back of the Bible the day I was told to write it down, but I just turned to the exact page in the Bible, and the scripture just jumped off the page at me! I opened right to that scripture that I was told to write down that night when I felt the hand rub my back! And I just started balling my eyes out! And I said, Lord why? Why would you forgive me after all the horrible things I’ve done! And again, I heard his voice very clearly say to me, Did I not say that I would never leave or forsake you! Right at that very moment my chest stopped hurting! And in my spirit God told me to read his word, no matter what! And though his word he would deliver me, and restore me! And I will say, I was very far gone and couldn’t get free at that time, no matter how much I tried. But even in that bondage, I kept reading his word until it became my delight! Until I desired it more than anything! I read it in the morning, every minute of the day I could, in the evening, and even put it on cd when I slept! I stopped listening to the radio, but had Bible cd in the whole time I drove! And I got to the point where all I could think about was his word! And he healed me, and restored me! And so much more! Now I know that sounds like an argument for OSAS, but I 100% know if I would have chosen the aspirin instead of the Bible that day, I would be dead and in hell right now! There is so much more to this story, but I know that God gave me over to my own heart for a season. And through that he showed me how great his mercy is! And how much I need to cling to him, and how serious sin is! And how it is him that only deserves the glory! He taught me the fear of the Lord! And that is why I understand the evil of OSAS doctrine! It eliminates the fear of the Lord! And as a person that was one choice away from hell, I have to warn others to fear! To not play games with their soul! It only took one sin for all of humanity to fall! It only took one act of disobedience for King Saul to loose the Holy Spirit, and be given a evil spirit, which led to his death! It only took one act of disobedience for Lots wife to loose her salvation, because she turned back! Keep preaching brother! Loving the brethren, is telling them the truth! They hated Jesus for it, and they will hate you! But some will hear, and repent, and learn the fear of the Lord! Bless you!
Wow we do have very similar stories - except the worship leader part. Ha! I’ve tried to play several instruments but it’s just not meant to be for me. But wow thank you for sharing. I guess the OSAS’ers would say that God knew what you would pick, but all throughout the Bible He gives people genuine real choices that have genuine real consequences. What OSAS does is essentially seal people who are deceived in their fate. It seals them in their sin. They have an excuse to sin, with no incentive to come out of it. They believe there is nothing more that needs to be done for salvations sake. But God tells us to strive to enter. And He gives us genuine and real warnings to his followers. Probably one of the most plain scriptures about this is when Paul said that even he could become reprobate - a castaway. 1 Corinthians 9:27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. So Paul thought that even he could go to hell! The word here for disqualified is used in every single other context in the Bible to refer to people who are going to hell. It’s very plain and even undeniable what Paul was saying. Paul believed he had real genuine choices to make that would have real consequences. Thanks for sharing brother!
@@abideintheWord God never did, or ever will take away our freewill! There would be no reason to believe the gospel at all if he did! We would just be like robots obeying our program! I also always use that about Paul. Keep up the good work brother!
@Sunshine Holiday Sunshine are you female or male? Just want to know how to address you. I will start off by saying, many of us stumble and fall in this race! It says, a just man falls 7 times but gets back up again. And truthfully it should always make you feel horrible when that happens. If it didn’t, that’s when you should really worry! We are told to not grieve the Holy Spirit, and we are told to fear the Lord at all times. God has given us many examples in his word of why we should take heed and not turn back to our sin. And yes, sadly, it is very possible to fall away and not be able to come back at a certain point. As it says in Proverbs He who is often reproved and hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. That is why we are told to workout our own salvation with fear and trembling! We are to walk daily in the fear of Lord, and carry our cross daily. The way is narrow, and straight, many are called, and few are chosen! Now I do not know you, or what is going on in your heart, how you fell, or what you do in the way you live your life. But I can tell you that I fell very hard when I was young in the Lord. And was convinced I was damned. I got so far away, and so low that I couldn’t even see the bottom! I was literally at the point of death when God gave me a choice. He literally gave me a choice one day when I was having a heart attack! It’s a very long story, but, I chose him. That day he began to heal me. Physically yes he healed me of the heart attack right that moment I chose him! Pain just went away! But the real healing was spiritual and mentally! It took several years until I was free from the mess I made out of my life! I will tell you what he told me to do that finally gave me total deliverance. That day He gave me the choice, and healed my heart attack, he told me my deliverance was in his word! He laid it on my heart to pick it up and make it my delight! And no matter how bad I mess up, to submerge myself in it every day, and make it more important than anything! He then blessed me by giving me a job where I could read his word 90% of the day, and still do my job! I read it during work, on every break, I listened to it in my car wherever I drove, and turned off the world! I put it on when I slept at night! And Gods word set me free, and caused me to walk in true faith! The Bible says, Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Read Psalm chapter 1 to start with. God is in the forgiveness business! Seek him and you will find him, when you seek him with all your heart! That is my advice to you, to make his word your delight! To submerge yourself in his truth, and when God sees you striving to know him, know and walk in his truth, he will take that doubt from you and you will find your life! You see, you have to loose your life to find it! Know this, it is God desire to save you! He wants you to succeed and overcome! And it is he that will sanctify you and as you seek after him, and turn from the world, and live for his kingdom, he will do the work in you, and in time it will become easier to live for him! Your desires will change, and your heart and mind will fully turn to a desire to do his will, and that will become your joy! I know I wrote a book here. But Brother/ Sister God wants you to overcome and he wants to save you! Trust in him with your whole heart, and seek him wholeheartedly and you will have the victory! He will do it! Bless you, and if you have any other questions I will answer best I can!
You’re video helped me more then anything I’ve seen online. I can only dream he’ll have mercy on me too. I’m happy for you I’ve been wanting to share the same knowledge I’ve learned best video I’ve seen you remind me so much of myself
@Sunshine Holly yes, and God showed me in a dream where I was bound up but I broke free. Thats what this world will do if put our desires and hopes in it. It seems every Christian I know has gone though this
@Sunshine Holly I broke free in the dream. I will have to turn from sin to be restored. My conviction and fear of God is real and will allow me to overcome the world. Same for you
Exactly! What’s more loving then to save people’s souls from death? - James 5:19-20 My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
I've experienced this. It was a different sin, and I wasn't dangled over hell, but i believe I had the same experience with God. I felt a dread, a heaviness that came over me, and in my spirit I heard a booming, "ENOUGH!" I immediately got on my knees and knew that what I decided had to be permanent. I thank God that I chose Him.
“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.” Psalms 51:12-13 NKJV
No, that’s not what the Bible says. The Bible says we are disciplined SO THAT we MAY be saved, not that it’s a definite thing. It doesn’t always have its intended effect - “deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit 👉may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.” I Corinthians 5:5 NKJV May is absolutely key. Paul doesn’t say so that he absolutely WILL no doubt be saved, but so that he MAY, meaning there is the possibility of him not being saved in that Day if he doesn’t repent. It’s always been our choice. That’s why the command is for us to repent, not for God to repent for us. No!
You got the warning and chastisement from God Himself. Praise God you made the right choice 🙏 Hebrews 12:6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.” The passage above is such a beautiful passage🙏 I believe I was also chasten by God and it was harsh but I love the fact that I was disciplined by the Almighty because He has shown me the error of my ways and now I follow and walk in the way of Jesus, no turning back! He is great and I do not know what I would do without Him, I tear up as I write this❤️
@@abideintheWord it feels amazing man. Sin is dead to me, I do not want to transgress against God. All the Father wants is to give us great things once we abide in Jesus. I say this to my former self as well, why would anyone want to rebel against God? Once we clearly see the things we do to rebel are things which cause us to go down a depraved road and turn us into something that is of disgust. Well I was disgusted with myself, that is why I said that. Thank God He has set me free through Jesus and I do not want to sin, I will pray like David prayed and ask Him always to restrain me from sinning, always. I love God so much man, I can't even put it into words❤️🙏 Who wouldn't want to show the amazing fruits that comes from the Holy Spirit and they are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, long-suffering, mildness (or gentleness), faith, modesty, self-control, and chastity❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful testimony of the love and the chastisement of our savior Jesus Christ. The Jesus that said come unto me all you that are heavy laden is the same Jesus that said those I love I chasten. This tiny Tim tiptoeing through the tulips Jesus That is mostly preached from Protestant pulpits today is exactly what Paul said another Jesus! Yes he is long suffering and desires to give us an abundant life but he clearly says why do you call me lord lord and not do the things I say! Adam keep preaching and following the Jesus of scripture not the Jesus of deceived Protestants ect. Blessings my dear brother ❤️🙏🏻
I've recently experienced something similar to this, but I did the opposite. He already gave me over to a reprobate mind, after I was being convicted and ignored it. I was "awakened" one day after realizing what I've done and cried out to him. He helped lead me to repentance but said I also had to give up wordily things, like video games and friends who are wicked in his eyes. I couldn't let go of these things and then he didn't accept my repentance. I still think he is somewhat with me, since I lost some pleasure in sin and been indulging in more of him (prayer, reading in his word, going to church, etc). I am guilty of omitting myself from him when i had the holy spirit, now I wish I could have him back into my life, but unsure if he'll accept me again. My heart is hardened, I don't feel conviction just regret and remorse, but an inward desire to repent. I don't know if he'll accept me back after deserting these things. I'd appreciate the help, and I hope he is just disciplining me through a dry season.
God commands ALL men EVERYWHERE to repent. Let me ask you, are you a person? Well then He commands you to repent. You have to fight the sin and fight for Jesus. Which one do you really want? Make up your mind. Chose life! “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”” Acts 17:30-31 NKJV
Whoever is reading this and doesn’t think what this guy is saying is true. I know he is telling the truth. This is serious, please listen and obey even if you are afraid because sin is that scary.
Please pray for me! I continued in sin for far too long and I said some things while sinning that I deeply regret to this day. I think I have been handed over to a reprobate mind. I too have a bunch of mystery illnesses now as well I am scared about my salvation. Is there hope left for me to be restored? Can you please pray for me brother?
@@josh8oh8 it’s not about a prayer that I can pray and God will just zap you with obedience. It doesn’t work that way. NO ONE can make that decision for you. It’s a choice you make. That’s it.

Amen. We are under the law of love (Christ) - Galatians 6:2 [2] Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Romans 13:10 [10] Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Matthew 5:7 [7] “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
@@4883rita how many Christians keep sinning and use the sacrifice of THE Lamb as their excuse, when Jesus says that God desires that we show mercy instead?
@@abideintheWord 🤷♀️ I don’t know, I guess that would involve an in depth discussion on whether or not they were ever truly saved…. In all honesty, do you find that the more scripture you know, the more confusion the enemy can create by twisting it in your mind and what he will try to make the focus? My teacher always said we have to be careful not to single out passages of scripture and create our theology, but take, rather, the Bible as a whole. It seems when I try to apply that I lapse back into peace with Him. I’m sixty years old and I don’t believe in legalism anymore. The scripture I quoted I believe is one in which Jesus was speaking to the Sanhedrin, or the religious leaders. I believe it refers to extending mercy to others rather than focusing on putting sinless perfection on ourselves and others. What do you think?

We need more testimonies like this, because God speaks audibly an telepathic, not just in his word 📖 like the modern day Pharisees say 😒 Thank God we can rely on him to speak with his own voice to us 🙌🏽
Wow this is an amazing testimony. Stories like these and like my brother testimony gives me hope. My brother was incarcerated for 12 years in prison and he seemed the lord out whole heartedly before he was going to commit suicide and he said to the lord I’ll give you 100 percent of me while he was in prison as long as he came and visit him in prison in person and he didn’t want no vision nor dreams or else he would not believe. Mind you he was so heart broken already like a light in him died because of how he got there. He said to me I was going to give it my all because I had nothing to live for and three religions a try. He went with the Bible first and good thing he did because for like a whole month he walk sat and talk with God the father and the son through out prison. His testimony opened my eyes of how God was still the same since the beginning. I was confuse because of all these doctrines when I was young and so he like you said God did not like it when we played with sin. He was a serious God. It’s his testimony and I would of love for him to share it but he was rejected so much when he first got out because they never believe a former criminal and gang member would walk with God through his time in county before going to prison. He pointed to Moses and they said if god would visit it be those whose been in church already. The saddest thing was that these were Christians in the church. I might have to ask him to put a video out
This is true. I lost my salvation and became demon possessed on 25th April 2018, after three months of mental illness and doubting God. I now live in hell without the Holy Spirit and tortured by demons inside me. My life is a living misery and I am on my way to the lake of fire. I pray so hard every night for the Holy Spirit to return, but it never happens. Before I lost Him, I walked passionately with Jesus for fifteen years. It is unbearable agony to have lost Him and to be handed over to hell. Be warned, the unthinkable can happen
The Bible says the Holy Spirit is given to those who obey Him (Acts 5:32). Are you obeying Him with everything you’ve got? Are you loving Him with all you have? Are you loving your neighbor as yourself? I have a video that I did on how to grow in the faith. Please check it out - th-cam.com/video/IJ8RXiLcWY4/w-d-xo.html
There is still hope for you, as long as you’re alive on this earth.Go back and do your first works of repentance, for the lord rejoices in mercy! I know because I also had #7 Demons!
@Luigi D S The hand of the Lord is outstretched to you all day long, but on his terms, humble yourself and stop sinning, then the Lord will forgive and pardon you. The Lord rejoices in mercy and gets no pleasure in the death of the wicked
This is exactly what happened to King Solomon when he went after the woman he shouldnt have. He was impious in his conduct in trying to obtain that woman and the Holy Spirit left him. The Greater Key of Solomon right at the end shows exactly what you went through. The Spirit left him and his mind became dark and he did go to hell just like the master showed you. Solomon choose the World and lost his salvation but not the promise after the resurrection Jesus Christ released the his prophets from hell even solomon. This is what happened to me but in a different way. You have been blessed beyond measure you dont know how valuable this experience is and this will lead to ultimate truth!
I was just thinking about how many people who have been brought to the same point as me and didn’t come back from it. I realize I am SUPER SUPER blessed beyond words. Thank you for the reminder. But what did you mean the “greater key of Solomon? What is that?
@@abideintheWord Well its the wisdom of the Nature Forces. Demons control this realm. Solomon was given huge knowledge and in that book he talks with the demons who make the Temple of Solomon out in the world aswell. Its not Kabbalah, This is the hidden wisdom behind this world. Satan and his legion of Demons control this plane of existance and are the nature forces including aero dynamics, Gravity ect. These nature forces are also the evil qualities in individual consciousness. The nature forces in this realm and evil are the same. Our big gbang theory is correct but its not a blind nature force that was expelled. It was Satan and his legion of fallen angels who were expelled from "On High". You can listen to the audio book which will increase your knowledge of how these Demons infest this creation and make people commit all kinds of evils. This book is highley valued because behind every "Word" or demon is an angel of the Word of God. The ultimate of Ultimate of Words is IAM. And by the Word of Christ which is IAM this word of God destroys all the nature forces in existance. The cross was not just an example but the Spear or the wound of christ represents these forces being overcome "Mankinds diseses or ills". This was the same wound given to satan by ArchAngel Michael by the lance of God, And that same lance pierced the Word which came in the flesh as Jesus Christ. Nothing can pierce the invisible realms especially matter which is what the resurrection proves. These wounds of the devil are overcome by the Higher Spiritual Kingdom of God and the Cross overcomes any and all of Satans Demonic forces!

Thank you for taking the time to tell this valuable testimony, which i believe without any doubts - for one thing, i, too, have remarkable spirit-filled experiences wherein God, and angels, too, show themselves to be in my life very clearly and in various ways as they see fit to convey to me what is necessary, is how i understand this happens.
YES! Tell the TRUTH! When we are radically transformed even people in church think we are strange. Do not be discouraged by their rejection. Pray for them.
““If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’” John 15:18-25 NKJV
It’s always more impactful to have an example you can attest to 🙂 that was pretty close! If your heart had been hardened too much it would have affected your decision.
Thanks for being so honest with this great testimony. People who say they are Christians but are willing to hurt other believers are not following the holy spirit. They secretly enjoy it when more gullible or baby Christians go on the campaign pleading with the offender to see the simple truth. The best I ever got was a dead stare or a changed subject. You have to realize, they might not even be saved. Unless they repent of their sin in the church, God will have to judge them. Matthew 7:17-23
I have backslidden for about a year... Went back to things that God has already taken from me... I couldn't repent and I felt like God was done with me... About a week ago I woke up at about 3 am to use the bathroom, and I heard God say "debauchery" I had to look up what it meant... It was everything I was doing wrong... I cried out to God to forgive me and I have since repented... He has taken the sins on the outside but I still cuss after He has taken that from me... I still deal with anger or rage... I don't know what to do... I don't know if Im saved anymore... Please pray for me 🙏
Update: I have been filled with His Love and Compassion and His Grace... No more cussing...no more anger... Just Peace and a Hope for the future... Won't He do it??? 🙌 Hallelujah Thank You Jesus 🙏🛐 😭 I no longer live but Christ in me 🙏🕊🌊🙌👑💙 I continue to pray and repent daily, I realized it's a daily CHOICE... Just working on getting my hunger back for the Word....All the way Lord🙏🙏🙏 Thank you to anyone who prays for me, God bless you❤ never give up on God 💯
Praise God!!! As far as getting more hunger for the Word, you can pray God gives it to you, but also take practical steps to stay DISCIPLINED! If someone wants to lose weight, they must take consistent DAILY steps towards that goal and stay disciplined. If they stick to it, they look back and be rewarded for their efforts and feel so good about themselves afterwards. It’s never dull letting Jesus speak to you and reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom in quiet time with Him. Praise God!
@@SonShine-JChi i am going through the same thing. I lost the Holy Spirit and got handed over to Satan. I want to repent but I can’t. My heart is hardened i have changed my sinful ways but I don’t feel remorse. What did u do to get God back and did u lose the Holy Spirit?
@@stoplayingwithsin He called me back... I realized His mercy and Grace is more than we can imagine... As long as you repent (change our sinful ways) and keep pressing in through prayer, fasting, reading His word and worshiping Him, even when you don't feel His presence, EVERYDAY, He will eventually pour out His love on you... CHOOSE Him DAILY.... also I found a plan that says if I read 4 chapters a day, I will read the entire bible in just under a year... I'm choosing Him. it's that simple. You will get your conviction back and the fear of the Lord will return... No matter how far you've run, the return trip is only one step... Read about the beautiful story of the prodigal son... And how when he was still on his way back to his father's house, the father ran to him and threw his arms around him and kissed him ... He leaves the 99 sheep for the one lost one, and heaven rejoices over the repentance of that one who was lost ❤ Don't underestimate His love for you and never give up.... Praying for you right now🙏
Nope, you were never saved in the first place. If you want to have salvation and lose it every week, joint the Cult of Roman Catholicism. When you are saved, God promises to finish in you what He started, your salvation. God doesn't play the in today, out tomorrow game. You had better reaqd thru the bible again, or go back to seminary or..... This is just a sad, false doctrine by a false teacher.

Amazing testimony. Just what I needed to hear. I feel I have broken trust with God from some severe suffering I walked through. I really want to heal and trust God again but I’m not sure how
Repent! “Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” James 4:4-10 NKJV
Thank-you. This testimony touched me because I feel lile I'm in almost the exact place that you were with the anger and unforgiveness and strange health issues. Even though I'm still in church and serving and worshipping, I also disconnected from God for a while now and I'm scared. This testimony has brought me hope. Please pray for me to do the same as you did. My name is Cris. God bless.
You don’t need prayers, you need to repent! It’s a decisions that you and only you can make to stop your sin. God won’t make it for you, so if you’re waiting on Him, He is waiting on YOU!
Same happened to me with the repetitive offense from a narcissistic person when I was on fire for God. I got stuck on the unforgiveness and then I fell back into sins I had victory over and slowly became addicted to porn and alcohol. I totally understand.
Hey, i was in a similar situation. How is your relationship with the narcissistic person now? I feel like i dont want to block them because of loving our enemies but on the other hand not blocking them is accepting abuse
Adam, I’m in a very difficult situation right now. I willfully sinned yesterday by violating my conscience in one area of my life. It was a tricky situation though and it’s not something that I think is a sin. But I had a doubt and I did it any way. I regret it deeply but I’m also confused because I am getting feelings of uncertainty on literally everything even responsibilities. And Google says doubt is the feeling of uncertainty. So now I’m uncertain about even eating. I want to be right with God, know what to do with these feelings of uncertainty that cause doubt, and stop sinning forever. Can you please pray for me. I am going to force myself to stay in my room and pray until God receives me. Can you pray that God forgives me and that he receives me again.
Yes sin is bad, yes it should be avoided at all cost, but if we sin, we need to get back up and keep walking. Not worrying or stressing that we may have lost salvation, God keeps us eternally secure with him and we do not lose salvation every time we sin, if it depended on us to keep it, we would surely lose it. God loves you and he sent his Son to die for you, trust in him and keep walking in your newness of life he has given you.
Amen. Eternal Security is a lie. I also became Christian and accepted Jesus at a very young age. I grew up going to church. I was confident of my salvation but then lived a life of disobedience to God. I had a relationship with an ungodly guy. Then, one day we broke up. I became depressed and it became a way for the enemy also to enter. And I had a spiritual warfare experience. God made me realize that my salvation was lost. Just like when Israelites had to fight back for the promise land, so also we as Christians need to fight a daily battle against sin and live a victorious life to retake the land, the salvation we had. Therefore OSAS is definitely a false teaching a lie from the enemy as old as time.
Great analogy. You know there are so many analogies in the Bible given between us and the Israelites when they were led out of Egypt. All of them were saved by faith (by putting the blood over the door post). All of them walked through the waters of baptism (the red see - 1 Corinthians 10). But… 1 Corinthians 10:5 [5] Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Just like today there are many Christians who believed in Jesus and who were baptized. But nevertheless with many of them God is not pleased. You tell them that they have to obey God and they tell you they don’t have to because they put the “blood over their doorpost”. But we aren’t home yet! We haven’t reached the promised land yet! Just like they tried to stone Moses when he told them to obey, many Christians will try to persecute you when you tell them they HAVE to obey God. It really is no different then the Israelites. Sadly most I believe will be destroyed just like the Israelites were in the wilderness.
THIS IS MY STORY BROTHER!! I FELT HOW HOLY SPIRIT LEFT ME AS SOON AS I HAD SEX WITH MY FIRST GIRLFRIEND AND WENT TO CONFESSION TO THE PRIEST... I WARN ALL OF YOU, PLEASE KEEP GODS WORD EYES IN UR HEAD AND DO NOT,FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD,GO AGAINST HIM!! NEVER EVER GO AGAINST GOD!! I FEEL LOST,COME BACK TO GOD!!
I believed it before you spoke! I’m so sad! I didn’t even have a chance to enjoy Jesus and the new life style. Now I live terrified everyday and tormented! I’m so sad every day… I feel robbed of my salvation by Satan by him telling me it’s okay it’s more respectful to come back to my salvation when I could be more ready for him thinking I was actually being more respectful! Shows how much I knew about committing you’re life to god. I’m so sorry till this day and am getting worst day by day I feel I’m so sorry for you. I pray for all of us
The Bible promises that if we draw near to God HE WILL draw near to us. The key is humility, repentance, obedience, and a fear of the Lord. James 4:6-10 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. God bless you!
God is our father and we are his children ; I know how you feel . I believe through our faith 🙏 he holds us and will help us . I love you and God is love ❤️ ❤❤
Thank you, theres no doubt in my mind that you are right about this. I have briefly had the holy spirit three Times in the last two years. Two of them was after i was baptised. And it did not take much from me to lose it. Then again i have a lot in my baggage that has caused resentment.
If you are a sinner, then you do know what happens to sinners right? “Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?”” I Peter 4:18 NKJV
@@Sola_Scriptura_1.618 not wha the Bible says. The Bible says sinners go to hell. Jesus preached to “go and sin no MORE”. Not go and sin some more, don’t worry you’re only human! No!!! That is deception! Repent.

@@Sola_Scriptura_1.618 yes to unregenerate Pharisees who did not have the Holy Spirit! You think you can have the Holy Spirit and still be filthy? Oh you are deceived and you mock God’s word! You wicked servant of the devil.
God brought me closer to him this year thru Christian tiktok and Instagram, I got saved in 2017 and I was definitely filled with the Holy Spirit, but I guess I was running away from god, I would avoid Christian videos because of fear of conviction, and at the same time I couldn’t really get the victory over porn, but this year god came back for me after slowing down, and now I’m more diligent in walking with him daily which finally has given me victory over porn, definitely similar to your situation but I think god was more calm and merciful with me since I was only 16 when I got saved.
Praise God friend!!! Jesus said if you remain in His word then truly you are His disciple, and you will know the truth and truth will set you free!!! John 8:31-36 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Great message brotha! I’m baffled as to how many Christians actually believe in the doctrine of Eternal Security! If a person reads the Bible without any theological presupposition its absolutely impossible to come to the conclusion that a person can’t lose their salvation. God gives promises to preserve but also gives warning to persevere to the end. So many verses that refute that ideology. It’s almost like these people are blind to the truth of Gods word. Keep preaching brotha!
Most of these famous pastors today are straight up lying to the masses and leading many off the path. When they say you can’t lose salvation, what they are effectively saying is that large portions of scripture no longer apply to us anymore because we are saved and nothing could ever change that. They ignore massive portions of scripture and teach others to do the same. It’s not good. It’s a sad state of affairs out there my brother. God bless you!
@@abideintheWord That's it completely. We are warned of these false teachers and wolves. I'm in Alberta Canada and there are not as many churches here like there are in America that teach this lie but they are growing. I didn't know about this false doctrine of men until I went to a new Baptist church in my area (about 8 or so years ago) the first red flag (literally) was seeing a Canadian flag next to a cross. Anyways that is where I first heard of this lie. I'd already been studying on my own and was shocked to hear this. They are in unbelief of the Lord's gospel. They are deceivers. I gave this pastor scriptures because he kept trying to convince me of his beloved lie, he even dropped by my house unannounced. He was also trying to convince me of a pre-trib rapture. All he had were men's reasoning's, no scriptural proof. We had been emailing but he blocked me soon after. I guess he didn't like all the scripture I was sending him.
@Redeemed Amen. It's shocking to say the least. It can be quite hard to unlearn the lies, I still struggle at times too. In all the different denominations I've gone to over the past 14 years or so, I've never been taught that we must walk in the Spirit. I've never been taught the importance of the fruit of the Spirit. God is so merciful and is teaching me. God bless you :)
@@CherylArsenault123 from what I understand that’s the case with many other countries - they are being invaded by this doctrine. From what I also understand this doctrine was not near as pervasive as it was 50 years ago. It seems to be spreading like gangrene and taking over nearly the entire country and world. We are in the last days. It seems nearly every time you Google a question a Calvinist or OSAS website fills at least the entire first page of search results. Not good. God bless you.
Hey man, I noticed in the video title you included the statement, "I Lost my Salvation." I listened through the video and gathered a few observations. 1. You once were lost in sin. 2. Jesus saved you 3. You battled against your flesh and demons, felt estranged from God. 4. God brought you back to him, and you chose to continue following God's calling on your life. 5. Your relationship with God continued to thrive. However, I never heard you say that you definitively "Lost your salvation". Can you clarify, at which point did you lose your salvation (according to the title)?
Well I figured losing the Holy Spirit would be synonymous with losing salvation. You can’t be saved without the Holy Spirit. As James says, when the sin grew and it was conceived it brought forth death (spiritual death).
@@LR354- long, crazy explanation. I'm actually still being "rebuilt" in Christ, I would say but I'm mostly good now.

Mine was more subtle. I awoke and was lying on the couch and leaned out of my boby, chest up and had translucent bright light arms. I looked down left and heard myself snore and knew I was sleeping. I reached out with the translucent arms to a tv tray that is always in this location and I felt a more intense feeling of touch. Afterwards I touched my folded, asleep arms and could feel the dead weight of my arms without holding them, just by a touch. I became afraid because these arms could feel and I thought could choke me in my sleep. This all happened after I questioned in prayer to God if we had spirits or we just sleep after death like lazarus. I didnt know then but know believe this is the Holy Ghost spirit of salvation.
You cant lose salvation impossible. Once youre saved youre always saved. If youre saying you lost salvation its just because you were never saved to begin with
It would be nice if that were true. But you can. Have you heard of the term apostate? I have a simular story to his. I don't think you listened to his testimony
Thank you so much for the offer brother. That means a lot but I would have to decline. However, there is something you could donate to instead. It’s called Barnabas Fund and they serve persecuted Christians around the world. There are our Christian brothers and sisters out there dying for sharing the gospel and many are starving to death. This should not be so as these are our family.

Well I’m glad you didn’t claim that you actually “went to hell then came back to tell about it”! I know that God gives His children visions though. The more I listen to your stories, the more I see myself. Trouble is for me, ALL I’m getting is harsh words. It’s as if I’ve already crossed that line to reprobate. I’m at the place where I’m not sure if God is warning me about my condition or if He is just rubbing my nose in it before the final big smack down! Either way, I guess I deserve it after such a lengthy backslide. Also your brief testimony is spot on to mine. How encouraging that is! The ease of sharing the gospel, walking with the Lord, your new hobbies and the peace. Did you finally get all of it back? Not that those are the priority, but they are important I would expect.
Our stories are pretty similar. I was totally there after I backslid friend. I was trying to come back to God and it seemed like every time I opened my Bible God would speak to me extremely harsh words. This went on for months. It was bewildering because here I was trying to come close to God and He was meeting me with such harsh words. I believe God is trying to tell you to flee the wrath to come - to “get out of dodge” so to speak. God is wishing that ALL come to repentance and come to a knowledge of the truth. But if you read the gospels you will see that Jesus was pretty harsh with His disciples when they were in unbelief. Rebuke is Jesus’ LOVE. It actually proves that you are His child if you are disciplined! Hebrews 12:5-6 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” But make no mistake - the warnings are real. And this is why we are commanded to work out our salvation with fear and trembling as Philippians 3 says. If you are being turned from your sin this is actually a blessing from God - Acts 3:26 God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.” Do exactly as He tells you friend and you will be blessed!
Jesus warned His disciples constantly that even they could go to hell - Matthew 18:35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.” Matthew 6:15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 16:23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” Luke 12:41-46 Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?” And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful. John 15:6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
@@abideintheWord yes this is good spiritual food. One more thing I was wondering: you mentioned that you felt the Holy Spirit leave you in a specific moment. I’m not sure if we really can tell when God’s Spirit leaves us, but I did have a similar experience right at the start of my “backslide” which has been almost 15 years ago (full of trials and weird illnesses similar to what you mentioned). Did you “experience” the Spirit returning to you?? I’m sort of confused about this one. I can no longer sense the deep darkness of that one day. But I’m not convinced things are back to normal with the Lord either. I definitely KNOW that I have some bitterness toward my pastor and a brother in my church. I’m angry about some stupid things they said and did. I’m just not sure how to handle it because it keeps coming back to mind constantly. 😞 Sorry for the lengthy text. I just needed to get that out to another human being!!
@@STAR-RADIANCE well I have actually backslid twice before. The first time was the time I explained on the video which was early on in my Christian walk. When I repented I felt the Holy Spirit rush back into me and I was literally hot to the touch for 3 days straight and I had sermons pouring out of me that I was writing down. The second time was only a few years ago and when I repented it was more of a slower restoration sort of like you described. When you backslide you hurt God’s heart. It’s like any relationship, trust has to be rebuilt and you must prove yourself to be a faithful steward. If He tells you to do it, you just do it. The good news is that it is a PROMISE in the Bible that if you draw near to Him, He WILL draw near to you. James 4:8-10 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. If you draw near to Him the Bible promises He WILL draw near to you. So how close do you want God to be to you is a direct reflection of how close you draw to God. He is no respecter of persons the Bible says, so if He did it to me, He will do it to you. Take ahold of this promise and latch onto it for dear life. If you want to be exalted as James says, then you must humble yourself. There is no other way around it. If you humble yourself, THEN He will lift you up. But not until then.
@@abideintheWord oops. Forgot about the “hot to the touch” part. That explanation about how close we want to be with God is epic truth. God bless you brother and thanks for the speedy replies. The Lord really is on time!!!! 🤛
Hebrews 6:4 “For it is IMPOSSIBLE for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them AGAIN to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God and put Him to an open shame.” If you lose your salvation you can’t get it back, according to the plain reading of the above scripture. We have to go by the word of God not by our personal subjective experiences. How else would you understand that verse?
It’s impossible with man yes. But the Bible also says that ALL things are possible with God. Do you believe this too? Please watch - th-cam.com/video/1n8k-5UTnLE/w-d-xo.html
Yes bro ,warn them. Some think they can't loosed their salvation. I told them ,Judah was saved when he accepted christ as Savior, but later because of greed he lost it. And we have to remember Jesus told to the church, in judgment day you will told me Lord we did miracles in your name and cast out demons, ect ,and I will tell them get away from me,I never know you workers of iniquities.
Hebrews 6 4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. 9But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
@@abideintheWordyou are so complicated with your teachings. Why Jesus was not complicated at all and He never have been sayed something like you about loosing salvation. Not even one word, It is a gift and saved people can't loose it
@@-getRidOfDistractions how complicated is this? “Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”” Luke 9:23-27 NKJV Are you ashamed of Jesus’ words here?
The holy spirit depart from me 15 months ago I feel numb and no remorse no feeling no conviction no guilt no worries no fear.no nothing like a robot zombie maybe conscious seer or reprobate
No this man is a liar and a heretic. Read the story of the prodigal son. Did the father accept the so. back after he spiritually died? And does it say he became alive AGAIN? God is no respecter of persons the Bible says. BELIEVE!!! Read Luke 15.
The Bible warns Christians that they can "fall from grace" (Gal. 5:1-5), be "cut off" from salvation (Rom. 11:18-22), have their names removed from the Lamb's Book of Life (Rev. 22:19), by committing certain sins and not repenting of them.
“For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is IMPOSSIBLE to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.” Hebrews 6:4-6 NASB1995 How do you reconcile this passage with your experience?
It is possible to lose your salvation. On that we agree. Maybe I just didn’t ask properly. Let me rephrase. If you were saved, and tasted the holy gift, taking part in the Holy Spirit, which sounds like what you describe of being a Christian for a few months… but then you fell away (which sounds like the reason that the Holy Spirit left you), how then, can you possibly be renewed “again” and regain the Holy Spirit when Heb:6 states that it is impossible? Is it then not impossible to be re-renewed. It sounds like you held God hostage for 45 min until he gave in, and gave you a new genuine choice to make. How many times can you lose and regain your salvation?
Happy for you brother. You may have not been born again until that moment you truly made your decision. Just listening, is it possible you were look warm prior? The Lord gave you what you needed. Seems like the moment you are truly born again it’s all in for Christ. This is why it’s a very controversial topic, because it seems few are.
@@ryanmgrambart5767 nope. I was RADICALLY filled with the Spirit - very powerfully on fire for the Lord, signs and miracles started following immediately. There was exactly 0.0000 percent chance I wasn’t saved. Maybe you didn’t watch the whole video?
God teaching you don’t mean you lost your salvation . I said I loved God , he said “ Prove it “ God also took me out my bed and put me in the big fire , I saw some one go pass me burnt black as charcoal . I was told disobey the Lord your suffer . God will keep bringing you back , he’s the teacher . Read the word of God . We do our best to forsake sin but we still sin sometimes , hopefully less and less . Take your beating and say thank you .
I lost my salvation. Super long story short. Wife had an affair, father died, son got type 1 diabetes, lost all of my material possessions, was nearly homeless. I was being demonically attacked day after day trying to gete to believe I wasn't saved. Fought back, I was filled with the holy spirit, much as this man states. Forgave my wife, prayed for her daily I thought God was going to restore my marriage. Divorce went through. Went to bed and woke up an hour later feeling cut off from God for all of eternity. I had no choice it just happened. Now I'm suicidal and have been crying out of God for months and I feel utterly separated. With no hope. God isn't about infinite abounding love His demands are real. I don't know what I did wrong, i guess my marriage failing from me being a bad depressed husband is the cause - producing thorns and thistles, is why I've been cut off. Not sure what to do but I believe my state is permanent.
Don’t give up!!! Pray to God in faith and He WILL reveal to you the way back to Him! Please check out my playlist on here called “If you’re backslidden” and let me know your thoughts. God bless you and hand in there! There is hope!!!
in other words you're a son, then you're not a son, then you're a son, then you're not a son. That's not a father love for his children. You'll never be good enough for perfect God. I think you misinterpret the Holy Spirit leaving your body. It's normal for the devil to attack Christians
@@abideintheWord i'm lead to believe so. The bible does little justice as to the true real GOD is. It's been written by men whom the bible says is unreliable! God/Jesus is all you need to know. Churches are greedy and they have tarnished God! Churches are full of pride and arrogance especially amongst themselves. You must believe that 99.99999% of humanity is going to hell for eternity because they fell short or didn't live with in a certain level of perfection. We all have visions that are attacks coming from santin. I dont choose to call those visions a sign from GOD! That's just me . The devil attacks us in our sleep. while we are not sleeping.
This is what we catholics would describe as entering into a state of mortal sin. We are saved by Christ being alive in us through the Spirit being poured out into us. When we reject the divine nature, we kick the Spirit out of us. God is merciful so we can always come back in this life
@@abideintheWord honest question. I am a convert to Catholicism. I still consider protestants and the Orthodox my brothers and sisters in Christ. Do you believe that there are saved Catholics even if they are wrong on things or do you believe to be Catholic or Orthodox is to be unsaved?
@@catholicocdpodcast I believe there are saved Catholics and Orthodox ONLY in the sense they GENUINELY do not know any better. The Bible says the Holy Spirit will guide us into truth and Jesus is the way the truth and the life and also the Light. It is impossible to be following Jesus and Him NOT lead you out of these cults - even Protestantism. If you are not being led out, then you either aren’t studying it enough, you are following man and traditions of men, or you aren’t His sheep. Listen friend, Jesus tells us His sheep know His voice and they follow Him. He says they will by NO MEANS follow the voice of a stranger. If you are following these men teaching Catholicism, it’s because you aren’t His sheep. Plain and simple.
@@abideintheWord so I listened to your episode you posted with your friend. Just so you know, catholics believe that no revelation after the Apostolic age can be necessary for salvation. I study a lot and read the Bible a lot. It could be that you have some misunderstandings about the Catholic faith. You seem to admit that the catholics were correct on Justification among the protestants during the reformation. What group do you belong to? What denomination?
@@catholicocdpodcast what? Wait a minute, that can’t be true. Anything the Magisterium has decided is official dogma MUST BE ACCEPTED for you to convert to Catholicism. If you said you didn’t believe in any of the dogma, then they would not accept your conversion. You may need to be more research. Someone is lying to you!
Subjective experience! You lost your salvation and God took you to hell??? According to Luke 16:19-31 if you went to hell or came that close as to being dangled over the lake of fire which isn't even yet opened, you wouldn't be coming back, buddy! All the "I went to hell and came back" stories are full of crap and Scripturally refuted because you would not be coming back!
It was a vision. I don’t believe I was literally there. Wake up and stop sinning. You have no knowledge of God. You should be ashamed! “Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.” I Corinthians 15:34 NKJV
This was very helpful. I had your Playlist to listen to on the way to work and heard this one. Please consider making a copy and naming it : "How to overcome bitterness, hate and anger and become like Jesus instead." The current title is good but people searching for specific answers will be able to find this faster. May be leaving both up is best. Either way this video is in the top 10 I've heard. Specific example of how you got victory over a practical sin, not theory. Especially the ending how you almost choose Christ's way and let yours go. Cheers.
@@abideintheWord 10-4 Thanks. Pray for us we invited my daughters entire homeschool group (20 families) over for sledding and a Bible study on "What Sins Jesus Can't Free You From?" So far only one replied they were coming.😀
Please, help me. Have i lost my salvation? I was fighting with my exhusbund. And i don't feel the Lord anymore and i have insomnia. I pray all the time asking for forgivness. I used to hear God's voice.
I can help you, but you have to serious and agree to do whatever I tell you from Scripture without coming up with any excuses whatsoever. If you’re serious let me know.
ok, so then you agreed not to make ANY EXCUSES, whatsoever then. That means if you DO make excuses after I tell you, you have not kept your word and are a liar. So here it is, here is what you are to do - “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” James 4:7-10 NKJV Now remember - NO EXCUSES at all! Now go and do. Don’t write back with a yeah but… it will be ignored.
Thank you verry much. I hope God will have mercy upon me. I know i deserve to be punished, i have sinned and offended God. Infact i didn't even realized that i sinned, i thought i was ok. Escuse me my english.
Any hope for me,I also felt the holy spirit leave me,grieved,I have lost my interest in God or things of God.I need to be right with God I also am scared of him,Like first I came to him because I loved him.But now I feel excessive fear and lethargy to even sit in prayer...or read his word....I've tried but nothing happens because of half heartedness.Also,I feel I won't be able to make it.So I am worried.My life in physical realm is also stagnation,No job nothing at all.I am worried.
Please check out my playlist “If you’re backslidden”. I have created it for people just like you with your problems. Please watch all of it, then let me know if you have any more questions.
God loves you, please don't give up on seeking Him!!! He forgives us as long as we confess our sins to Him 🙏 May God touch your heart today and may He bless you
PLEASE to anyone reading this! I cannot save myself but let me save others. STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH GOD. GOD CAN AND WILL PUNISH YOU FOR DISOBEYING HIM. I rejected God and continued in disobedience and sin even though I was warned. I continued in my unbelief and God warned me for a long time. I finally crossed the line and God removed His Spirit from me in December 31st, 2023. I felt it when the spirit of God left me and I was handed over to a tormenting spirit. I have repented and changed my ways since but I don’t know if it’s sincere. I don’t know if I’m truly sorry for what I did. And that scares me to death. I have been given over to a reprobate mind. My heart is hardened. I’m willing to change my ways and I’m begging for the mercy of God to help me repent. TO ANYONE WHO SEES THIS, GOD IS NOT A COTTON CANDY GOD. He can and will send you to hell for disobeying Him.

The unforgivable sin that there is no coming back from, is to be saved and then knowing what you are doing you then reject and denounce Him. There is no way to get re-saved. That would be crucifying Christ all over again. You were extremely back slid-en but not unsaved. God took you to the woodshed and showed you how close you were to committing the only unforgivable sin and that there would be no coming back from that. Truth in Love
I have never been in hell, you know that we can imagine something that feel so real, like dreams and visions. i don't think that you are lying, but i am sure that you have never been in hell, because i am reading the Bible and salvation can't be lost.

Brother we don't rely on feeling, on what we feel in exact moment. Also we don't rely on visions. What we rely on is the Word of God. If your vision matches with the Word of God its okay, if not than be careful.
When did I say anything about relying on feelings or visions? Visions are real. True children of God will have them. It’s all over God’s word and my vision matches with God’s word.

If not, the Bible calls you a child of the devil.
Wish you would have spoken about HOW the sin of anger and your refusal to forgive those who had hurt you was the very thing Satan tempted you with to lose your intimacy with God. Ephesians 4:26-27 is a HUGE clue from God what anger can do to us. Otherwise ... awesome testimony!
I did cover that. I talked about how I no longer had God’s peace, and how His guidance and His direction became very limited in my life. I also talk about how it seemed like some of the only times He would speak to me it would be pretty harsh words - like when I asked Him to speak to me and He told me Luke 9:62 - Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” This made me very angry at God that He would tell me that I was not fit for the Kingdom of God because I was looking back. But I needed to hear the hard truth about my condition. This was actually God’s love, even though it made me upset at the time. Sometimes we need to hear the hard truth in order to come to a realization of our condition. God bless!

Whatever you do, do it for Jesus - Colossians 3:17 [17] And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 1 Corinthians 10:31 [31] So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
My brother, what happened to me happened to you, you let the demons who were persecuting you overcome your faith. These demons are called "narcissists". I didn't know when I was a teenager that satan uses narcissists at will. If narcissists are not harassing you, they are pondering how to harass you, or monitoring you or talking behind your back. That's exactly what happened to me.
The prodigal son became spiritually dead but when he returned to his father he became alive again! I do believe you can be handed over to a reprobate mind though where you won’t repent. I am wanting to do a video on Hebrews 6 as there are so many interpretations of that passage. Impossible may mean impossible without God - Mark 10:27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” Or it could mean it’s impossible so long as you are continuing in sin. Or it could mean it’s impossible only if you get to the point you are handed over to a reprobate mind as a form judgement.

I thought it was a gift.

That is my consequence and I think God is helping me or he’s testing me the problem is I can’t tell which is which, so I believe him because God does not play games. My dreams are random things and then somehow I know how to interpret them. I went to hell in my dream or it seemed like it was so real I couldn’t tell the difference, except that Jesus did come and save me once. I can describe the dreams and I’m still dreaming and still being told what is gonna happen and I pray that people will wake up and I pray that they will listen because he’s coming very very soon I seen a river of people going to hell billion of them, and very few Are taking the path of his way and I saw satan a Whitch and some unknown person that I don’t know about and said they’re coming or they’re already here because they’re taking what belongs to them pretty much so I’m begging whoever reaches please please believe me and repent and come to God .

What does this mean? It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. [Hebrews 6:4-6]

Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” I John 3:4-9 NKJV Let NO ONE deceive you it says!
I think God gives people more time than what is said in the video, in fact, many situations, over and over, where the "fig tree" is chopped down and burned.
How much time did God give Adam and Eve when He cast them out of the garden? How much time did Ananias and Sapphira have? Don’t be so sure of yourself.
Wow great testimony brother. Thank you for sharing! I can see why you are so passionate about this topic. I can relate too in some ways. When I was saved 8 years ago, I felt his presence and guidance powerfully. After a failed relationship with a ex-gf that I thought God told me was the "one", I was broken, depressed, fell into sin, hurt, things of this world and was running from God. I stopped hearing from him even tho I was still a believer. But God's grace wouldn't relent and kept showing up in odd ways to pull me back to him. And then two years ago after my marriage, I was going through a hard time at my work. I told my wife that we needed to submit and surrender our lives fully to him daily. Few days into daily Bible study and prayer, God showed up powerfully. Began hearing his voice once again and his guidance. I then realized how much I need him as he began leading me and teaching me right doctrine and showing me his ways. God bless you.
Amazing testimony. Praise God for his grace and mercy!!!
How long was God silent for?
As long as I disobeyed. Not a minute more.
As long as I kept running and stopped asking Him what sin I needed to repent of and then do what He told me.
Amen! Thank you for sharing that powerful testimony. Praise God for his mercy, compassion, and patience.
“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
Ephesians 4:30-32
Good to know you can get it back again.☺️ I know the desolate, terrified feeling you’re talking about. It wasn’t that long ago I was face down in the floor with what felt like a foot in my neck, begging for His mercy over the issue of spiritual adultery. The Lord has unique ways of letting us know the things He cannot tolerate in our lives and accomplish His purpose. But if faith is our ultimate victory, I don’t see how losing that faith in His sacrifice and finished work gains anything, in fact, I feel it is knowing He has me in his grip and a revelation of the true degree of the love in that grip that ultimately brings me back to a state of peace and heartfelt reconciliation. I’m so glad you have returned to that state, my Brother.♥️
Let all my life testify: hallelujah, we are not alone. God really loves us. And this is our hope: the cross it has spoken . Death is no more, Christ is the Lord. His mercy’s enough-forgiveness or healing, come if you’re needy, his mercy’s enough.
-Crowder, God Really Loves Us
@@Lil_das Hi, Dillon. No, there have been times in my life when I felt detached from God and numb, but I actually did not feel hardened to him at the time. I just don’t always make the best choices, and it was frightening to realize the severity of what I had done. The most recent church I attended took the stance that if you cannot go back in your life and pinpoint an exact time when you made a complete change in your behavior, you have never truly been saved, but I tend to believe now that salvation is a path, life long, and series of tests and experiences through which we are transformed into the likeness of Jesus; we aren’t just automatically changed. I was saved at age 14, and at least that is what my lifelong experience has seemed to be. When I truly analyze it, I have to believe that the security of our salvation is in God’s hands, since it is based in our faith of His righteousness and ability to save us, and not ours. We are saved by Grace thru Faith in Him. (Galatians 2:8-9) But one of the hardest lies to overcome is that it is based on our actions. I hope this is not confusing. We are all struggling in such difficult times. Give it to Jesus-he promises rest. Much love to you.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
I Corinthians 13: 9-12
Can you elaborate on Spiritual adultery?
Great testimony mate. Very similar to mine, except I was handed over with a reprobate mind. It’s a place no one wants to end up. God, thankfully gave me another chance, and pulled me out in a spectacular fashion.
You are so right about obeying God. You can’t just accept Jesus and then go and carry on in the world. Although it can be easier said than done, the evil one is cunning, intelligent and has had thousands and thousands of years practice.
I think I have a reprobate mind. Since you had one, how were you when you had one?
@@user-zo5nu2zt6v Hello mate. So to start with, “the reprobate mind” I had was one where where I felt no remorse for my actions, no matter how awful my sins. Drugs, women, anger, rage, deliberately bringing people down that looked happier than I.. and I almost felt compelled to do it. It was like something was driving me. I know what (or who) had me now. Anyway, in September 2017, I was sent to the church by my brother, who is a Christian, and after I started worshipping/seeking out the Ananaki he became convinced I was over run by Satan. Given I love my brother, and I was borderline suicidal, I thought, stuff it, what’s the worse that could happen - “I’ll go check it out-I’ll probably burst into flames, but why not” . So I went, and I felt ‘safe’ there - that sounds strange I know. Then, I started reading the Bible, again, I felt protected when reading the Bible. Then, the attacks started intensely. During this period ( attending Church and reading the Bible ), I started to be attacked hard by Satan. I started having sleep paralysis, hallucinations and demonic visions. The only time they stopped was when I was in the Bible or at Church - so I started reading the Bible or seeking God up to 6 hours a day. Then, (after about 5 months of this), something incredible happened. I was watching a video of a man talk about his relationship with Jesus, when all of a sudden I was overcome with this incredible sense of peace and oneness, it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever felt. I started crying, and I felt this peace and oneness washing over me. It felt like all my senses were one, and I just felt pure love and peace. Words can’t explain this feeling, it was/is incredible. After this, everything changed. I lost all my sinful desires, I grew a very significant conscience and wisdom about right and wrong, and saw beauty instead of evil in everything. I got a job, and just kept succeeding - until I was running the company. I now own my own company with 10 staff and growing. But, I thank God every day, and nothing gives me more peace and more comfort than taking refuge in God every day, and every night.
I will say one thing to you though. Never deviate from God’s word - the Bible. If you go to Church, make sure it’s solid scripture and no “fluff”. It is so important. God doesn’t want 10% of you. He doesn’t want 70% of you . He doesn’t want 95% of you , he demands all of you, and you willingly give it when you believe. So please brother, hear that if nothing else. He will come to you, but you have to seek, earnestly and truly believe.
@@fishernigel may I email you? I'd like to ask you questions
@@user-zo5nu2zt6v Of course you can mate.
@@fishernigel what's your email
I had almost the same experience, and I know had I not yielded to the Holy Spirit after I had backslided so far once He came upon me again I would have been given over to a reprobate mind. I have no question about it. I was so afraid I surrendered everything, and been fighting every sense to hold to God's unchanging hand. Praise God brother.
Praise God. Keep yourself in the love of God brother.
I had a similar experience. Different story but all the same points.
It came to a point where god said choose. I spent days in a room wrestling with him. I was like a hoarder and God said here throw all this into the fire. Still I went through it piece by piece saying how about this? Then I would attempt to justify it. He would say nope let go of it. I did that over and over. Some things seemed impossible to let go of. "Well surely i can't throw this in because of this". He called my name and said trust in him. Lay day all the things of the world including my life and trust in him and he would sort out the worries. I did.
The moment i truly let go of that hoard of sin and put my trust in christ, demons that were oppressing me ran in fear. The holy spirit came over me and I was new.
Amazing, God said to me, “ Decide” we’ll I made the right decision and obeyed. Praise God!
I had a very similar experience. I was at the precipice. I knew it was last call from my Maker. I rent my heart, praying every word of Psalm 51 from the core of my soul, and resolved that even if He wouldn't forgive me, even if I'd gone to far and insulted Him too much, I would devote the rest of my life to giving Him the glory justly due His Name. And to my astonishment and eternal gratitude, He did forgive. He did not remove His Spirit from me. I escaped destruction by the skin of my teeth. though I'd been a believer for years by that time, THAT was the point that if my Savior were to stand before me, I would grasp His feet and kiss them with genuine adoration. My heart, soul, life, hands, home, everything are His. Praise God for His great Mercy!
That is pretty much EXACTLY what happened to me! I decided one day that even if God was going to cast me into hell, He is still worthy of the entire rest of my life! That made a new resolve in my mind that I believe God honored.
I hope ive not missed the last call im very worried I have im in a real mess with confusion doubt and sin problems please pray for me
@@Goldtaker23 repent. Cry out to God. He is merciful to those who repent. Psalm 51. But be wise. He won't bear with us forever. Tomorrow is not promised. What would you have in exchange for your soul?; even the whole world? Luke 9. Be jealous for God! Fiercely defend your peace with Him! Jesus paid out all and sent us the Helper so that we are no longer under the dominion of sin. Whoever sins is a slave to sin. But the Truth will set you free (John 8). Know this: God is faithful to make a way of escape when you are tempted (1 Corinthians 10:12-13). Lay down your sins and don't look back. Take up your cross and follow Him. Don't crack the door to the enemy. He's a thief and a murderer. Praying for you. Be faithful.
@@jarthurpaxton9223 Thank you that means a lot :) ive been so confused about what is truth and what isnt ive felt stuck how do I repent correctly ? Because I have tried a lot and failed time and time again I believe I was fighting with the Holy Spirit while in that sin I didnt know that at the time but I think thats what I was doing I just hope I havent gone to far thats my fear I will keep persevering and reading the word praying and repenting I appreciate your prayers a great deal 🙂
@@Goldtaker23 if you still fear God, it is good. That is the beginning of understanding. I encourage you to immerse yourself in prayer over Psalm 51. It is one of the best expressions of repentance. And you will know it's accurate because it's God's word. Within it you will find that the sinner must honestly admit he has nothing at all to offer God to make right. He can only bring a broken and repentant heart. You will find that God will not despise or reject such a one. You will find that the sinner must be honest that he doesn't even want to do the right thing much of the time. But he yet pleads for God to create in him a pure heart, a willing heart, and a steadfast spirit. Yes, as Jesus declared in the beatitudes (that is Matthew 5,) those who hunger for righteousness shall be filled! How hungry are you? Can You feel The pains of starvation in your soul? The hopelessness of spiritual poverty produced by sin? Are you afraid to even look up and can only beat your chest and cry out "have mercy on me God a sinner"? (Luke 18). And will you devote your redeemed life to teaching transgressors His Way? What can the dying flesh hold onto? What can the devil offer you? Nothing. It's all lies. Brother we've lived like fools long enough. And God has been very patient with us. We hear His voice today and we repent. Do whatever it takes. Kill the sin in your life and so demonstrate your love, faith, and allegiance to God and His Christ. You will find mercy for your soul. Then you'll live free of guilt and looming judgment. You'll live with a peace and joy no one can take. And though you suffer in this life and yet perish bodily, you will enter heavens narrow gate and dwell with Him forever and behold His glory. THAT'S worth living for! One thing I ask! That the LORD let me dwell in His presence for my life eternal and behold His glory. He is the Author and Originator of all that is good. Anything else is a worthless imposter. Come to Him. Be filled. Be restored. Be an object of glory and not shame and regret.
This sounds like me
Your story is truly genuine. I miss my relationship with God I do believe once we get here it’s harder to come out and only his mercy can help us. I have yet to regain the Holy Spirit back .This is sad and hurts me . I feel I lost all conviction and discernment I used to love to pray this is truly a great story please pray he may have mercy upon me since I knew better
You are right it can be difficult. If you backslid you hurt God. But God is wishing that all reach repentance. Look at what happened after the prodigal came back. The father killed the fattened calf and embraced the son.
Friend you have to love God. God’s love language is obedience. Prove to shod you love Him and will stop at nothing to love Him with all your heart mind soul and strength.
James 4:6-10
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
This is a promise. That if you draw near to Him He WILL draw near to you. Do you believe that? The only thing that’s stopping it then is you and your unbelief. God bless.
Mine felt completely permanent.
Can you please contact me? I feel like I have lost my salvation as well.
On here is really the best way to contact me. Please just start a new thread. Who knows, maybe your questions are ones that others may have as well and it may bless them too!
How are you know?
Amen. We must repent when we disobey him and obey him til the end. Great testimony! I'm glad God didn't give up on you. Love you brother and God bless!
Angela, I love your statement, “God didn’t give up on you”. It appears that repentance is an ongoing process, demonstrated by the aged crowd gathered with the adulterous woman leaving first, but God gets the last word.😊
@@4883rita AMEN!
I’m so grateful you made this video. I go back and reference it often when teaching others a point in the Bible.
Amen Powerful Testimony. I had a similar experience and what was amazing was when I was bitter and angry I felt myself separated from God. What blew me away was how faithful he still was to me wanting me to follow him in a path of forgiveness towards the person I was angry at. It took a lot of sacrifice, brokenness, and repentance but it was all worth it in the end.
Yes God is faithful and merciful and long suffering wishing that none should perish but that reach repentance and a knowledge of the truth. He is striving with man, but there comes a time where He will no longer strive with man and the doors will be locked and they will plead and cry out let us in. But He will tell them depart from me I do not know where you come from! You worker of iniquity!
@simonandrade8635
Was the person you couldn't forgive A sibling, or brother/sister in Christ?
@simonandrade8635
Can you please tell me more about this
I very much understand what you’re saying! It’s to long of a story to tell here,but here’s the short version. I had an amazing conversation just like you, and was promoted very quickly in the ministry. I was worship leader, and preaching to a congregation of about 100 by the time I was 6 months old in the lord! I was preaching almost as much as the pastor was! I was playing in a outreach band, and also was youth leader! ButI got puffed up, and started thinking I was special, and was prefered over everyone else by God! I got filled with pride because I was promoted so quickly, and it led me to a very hard fall! And I sinned, and because of that, I became convinced that I was going to hell. And could not be forgiven! I was so deceived that I could never be forgiven from the very bad choice I had made to sin, that I just decided to fulfill every desire I had! And I just gave up! And God gave me over to my own heart! After a little over a year, I ended up lower than I ever imagined I could ever had gotten! I wanted to die, but I knew without any doubt that if I died in that state, I would go to hell! I literally became the very thing I despised the most! And just wanted to do anything, and everything to make me forget everything! And because of this, my health became really bad, and one day I started getting chest pains so bad, I could hardly move, it hurt so bad! Then it just came in my mind, how I heard if your having a heart attack, if you take some aspirin it could save your life. And I remembered that I had seen aspirin in the dresser by the side of the bed a few days before that. So I somehow managed to crawl to the side of the bed, and opened the drawer. Then in the drawer I saw the aspirin, but somehow my Bible that I hadn’t seen the whole year, and was not in the drawer a couple days before when I saw the aspirin, was right there next to the aspirin! And so clearly I heard God say to me, Choose! And I knew with everything in me, I had to choose the world or Him right at that minute! I chose, and picked up the Bible! I crawled back into the middle of the bed, and just randomly opened the Bible. And my story is getting long sorry, but when I was about a month old in the Lord, I woke up in the middle of the night, because I felt a hand rubbing my back, like a father would rub his babies back in the crib. And I heard a voice tell me to write down a certain scripture, and I wrote it down in the back of my Bible! When I opened the Bible that day randomly, not where I wrote it down in the back of the Bible the day I was told to write it down, but I just turned to the exact page in the Bible, and the scripture just jumped off the page at me! I opened right to that scripture that I was told to write down that night when I felt the hand rub my back! And I just started balling my eyes out! And I said, Lord why? Why would you forgive me after all the horrible things I’ve done! And again, I heard his voice very clearly say to me, Did I not say that I would never leave or forsake you! Right at that very moment my chest stopped hurting! And in my spirit God told me to read his word, no matter what! And though his word he would deliver me, and restore me! And I will say, I was very far gone and couldn’t get free at that time, no matter how much I tried. But even in that bondage, I kept reading his word until it became my delight! Until I desired it more than anything! I read it in the morning, every minute of the day I could, in the evening, and even put it on cd when I slept! I stopped listening to the radio, but had Bible cd in the whole time I drove! And I got to the point where all I could think about was his word! And he healed me, and restored me! And so much more! Now I know that sounds like an argument for OSAS, but I 100% know if I would have chosen the aspirin instead of the Bible that day, I would be dead and in hell right now! There is so much more to this story, but I know that God gave me over to my own heart for a season. And through that he showed me how great his mercy is! And how much I need to cling to him, and how serious sin is! And how it is him that only deserves the glory! He taught me the fear of the Lord! And that is why I understand the evil of OSAS doctrine! It eliminates the fear of the Lord! And as a person that was one choice away from hell, I have to warn others to fear! To not play games with their soul! It only took one sin for all of humanity to fall! It only took one act of disobedience for King Saul to loose the Holy Spirit, and be given a evil spirit, which led to his death! It only took one act of disobedience for Lots wife to loose her salvation, because she turned back! Keep preaching brother! Loving the brethren, is telling them the truth! They hated Jesus for it, and they will hate you! But some will hear, and repent, and learn the fear of the Lord! Bless you!
Wow we do have very similar stories - except the worship leader part. Ha! I’ve tried to play several instruments but it’s just not meant to be for me. But wow thank you for sharing. I guess the OSAS’ers would say that God knew what you would pick, but all throughout the Bible He gives people genuine real choices that have genuine real consequences. What OSAS does is essentially seal people who are deceived in their fate. It seals them in their sin. They have an excuse to sin, with no incentive to come out of it. They believe there is nothing more that needs to be done for salvations sake. But God tells us to strive to enter. And He gives us genuine and real warnings to his followers. Probably one of the most plain scriptures about this is when Paul said that even he could become reprobate - a castaway.
1 Corinthians 9:27
But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
So Paul thought that even he could go to hell! The word here for disqualified is used in every single other context in the Bible to refer to people who are going to hell. It’s very plain and even undeniable what Paul was saying. Paul believed he had real genuine choices to make that would have real consequences.
Thanks for sharing brother!
@@abideintheWord God never did, or ever will take away our freewill! There would be no reason to believe the gospel at all if he did! We would just be like robots obeying our program! I also always use that about Paul. Keep up the good work brother!
@Sunshine Holiday Of coarse I would!
@Sunshine Holiday no I don’t have that app. Can you tell me a little about what you need to talk about? Perhaps I will download it if it needs be?
@Sunshine Holiday Sunshine are you female or male? Just want to know how to address you. I will start off by saying, many of us stumble and fall in this race! It says, a just man falls 7 times but gets back up again. And truthfully it should always make you feel horrible when that happens. If it didn’t, that’s when you should really worry! We are told to not grieve the Holy Spirit, and we are told to fear the Lord at all times. God has given us many examples in his word of why we should take heed and not turn back to our sin. And yes, sadly, it is very possible to fall away and not be able to come back at a certain point. As it says in Proverbs He who is often reproved and hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. That is why we are told to workout our own salvation with fear and trembling! We are to walk daily in the fear of Lord, and carry our cross daily. The way is narrow, and straight, many are called, and few are chosen! Now I do not know you, or what is going on in your heart, how you fell, or what you do in the way you live your life. But I can tell you that I fell very hard when I was young in the Lord. And was convinced I was damned. I got so far away, and so low that I couldn’t even see the bottom! I was literally at the point of death when God gave me a choice. He literally gave me a choice one day when I was having a heart attack! It’s a very long story, but, I chose him. That day he began to heal me. Physically yes he healed me of the heart attack right that moment I chose him! Pain just went away! But the real healing was spiritual and mentally! It took several years until I was free from the mess I made out of my life! I will tell you what he told me to do that finally gave me total deliverance. That day He gave me the choice, and healed my heart attack, he told me my deliverance was in his word! He laid it on my heart to pick it up and make it my delight! And no matter how bad I mess up, to submerge myself in it every day, and make it more important than anything! He then blessed me by giving me a job where I could read his word 90% of the day, and still do my job! I read it during work, on every break, I listened to it in my car wherever I drove, and turned off the world! I put it on when I slept at night! And Gods word set me free, and caused me to walk in true faith! The Bible says, Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Read Psalm chapter 1 to start with. God is in the forgiveness business! Seek him and you will find him, when you seek him with all your heart! That is my advice to you, to make his word your delight! To submerge yourself in his truth, and when God sees you striving to know him, know and walk in his truth, he will take that doubt from you and you will find your life! You see, you have to loose your life to find it! Know this, it is God desire to save you! He wants you to succeed and overcome! And it is he that will sanctify you and as you seek after him, and turn from the world, and live for his kingdom, he will do the work in you, and in time it will become easier to live for him! Your desires will change, and your heart and mind will fully turn to a desire to do his will, and that will become your joy! I know I wrote a book here. But Brother/ Sister God wants you to overcome and he wants to save you! Trust in him with your whole heart, and seek him wholeheartedly and you will have the victory! He will do it! Bless you, and if you have any other questions I will answer best I can!
You’re video helped me more then anything I’ve seen online. I can only dream he’ll have mercy on me too. I’m happy for you I’ve been wanting to share the same knowledge I’ve learned best video I’ve seen you remind me so much of myself
@Sunshine Holly listen to your conscience (make sure it lines up with the Word) God's law is written on our hearts
@Sunshine Holly I thought it might help you in your walk but if you already know praise God
@Sunshine Holly yes, and God showed me in a dream where I was bound up but I broke free. Thats what this world will do if put our desires and hopes in it. It seems every Christian I know has gone though this
@Sunshine Holly I broke free in the dream. I will have to turn from sin to be restored. My conviction and fear of God is real and will allow me to overcome the world. Same for you
@Sunshine Holly I think you do or you wouldn't be here.
God wants us to warn our neighbors, it's an act of Love. Thank you for you work, May God continue to Richly Bless you, my brother.
Exactly! What’s more loving then to save people’s souls from death? -
James 5:19-20
My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
I died in surgery and went to hell. Im glad im not only one to see this.
Praise the living God who raises the dead!!!
Amazing.
Thank you for sharing your testimony.
Very powerful.
I've experienced this. It was a different sin, and I wasn't dangled over hell, but i believe I had the same experience with God. I felt a dread, a heaviness that came over me, and in my spirit I heard a booming, "ENOUGH!" I immediately got on my knees and knew that what I decided had to be permanent. I thank God that I chose Him.
“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.”
Psalms 51:12-13 NKJV
No, that’s not what the Bible says. The Bible says we are disciplined SO THAT we MAY be saved, not that it’s a definite thing. It doesn’t always have its intended effect -
“deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit 👉may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.”
I Corinthians 5:5 NKJV
May is absolutely key. Paul doesn’t say so that he absolutely WILL no doubt be saved, but so that he MAY, meaning there is the possibility of him not being saved in that Day if he doesn’t repent. It’s always been our choice. That’s why the command is for us to repent, not for God to repent for us. No!
Similar for me. The fear of God came over me. I was literally scared out of my mind. It was His love.
Ephesians 1:13
You got the warning and chastisement from God Himself. Praise God you made the right choice 🙏
Hebrews 12:6
For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.”
The passage above is such a beautiful passage🙏
I believe I was also chasten by God and it was harsh but I love the fact that I was disciplined by the Almighty because He has shown me the error of my ways and now I follow and walk in the way of Jesus, no turning back! He is great and I do not know what I would do without Him, I tear up as I write this❤️
Praise God! It feels so nice to know you are a son called to walk humbly every day with your God!
@@abideintheWord it feels amazing man. Sin is dead to me, I do not want to transgress against God. All the Father wants is to give us great things once we abide in Jesus. I say this to my former self as well, why would anyone want to rebel against God? Once we clearly see the things we do to rebel are things which cause us to go down a depraved road and turn us into something that is of disgust. Well I was disgusted with myself, that is why I said that. Thank God He has set me free through Jesus and I do not want to sin, I will pray like David prayed and ask Him always to restrain me from sinning, always. I love God so much man, I can't even put it into words❤️🙏
Who wouldn't want to show the amazing fruits that comes from the Holy Spirit and they are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, long-suffering, mildness (or gentleness), faith, modesty, self-control, and chastity❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing what a beautiful way to look at his discipline… I love it too but it’s terrifying. Thank you
@angel paige can someone murder and rob their way into Heaven??? Or would they need to "do" something first?
Amen this happened to me to! Praise God!
What a beautiful testimony of the love and the chastisement of our savior Jesus Christ. The Jesus that said come unto me all you that are heavy laden is the same Jesus that said those I love I chasten. This tiny Tim tiptoeing through the tulips Jesus That is mostly preached from Protestant pulpits today is exactly what Paul said another Jesus! Yes he is long suffering and desires to give us an abundant life but he clearly says why do you call me lord lord and not do the things I say! Adam keep preaching and following the Jesus of scripture not the Jesus of deceived Protestants ect. Blessings my dear brother ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your testimony. God bless you.
I've recently experienced something similar to this, but I did the opposite. He already gave me over to a reprobate mind, after I was being convicted and ignored it. I was "awakened" one day after realizing what I've done and cried out to him. He helped lead me to repentance but said I also had to give up wordily things, like video games and friends who are wicked in his eyes. I couldn't let go of these things and then he didn't accept my repentance. I still think he is somewhat with me, since I lost some pleasure in sin and been indulging in more of him (prayer, reading in his word, going to church, etc). I am guilty of omitting myself from him when i had the holy spirit, now I wish I could have him back into my life, but unsure if he'll accept me again. My heart is hardened, I don't feel conviction just regret and remorse, but an inward desire to repent. I don't know if he'll accept me back after deserting these things. I'd appreciate the help, and I hope he is just disciplining me through a dry season.
God commands ALL men EVERYWHERE to repent. Let me ask you, are you a person? Well then He commands you to repent. You have to fight the sin and fight for Jesus. Which one do you really want? Make up your mind. Chose life!
“Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.””

How are you now?
Whoever is reading this and doesn’t think what this guy is saying is true. I know he is telling the truth. This is serious, please listen and obey even if you are afraid because sin is that scary.
I believe you! I got a similar testimony. To long to share now. But I would like to share with you sometime. Bless you Brother!
Please pray for me! I continued in sin for far too long and I said some things while sinning that I deeply regret to this day. I think I have been handed over to a reprobate mind. I too have a bunch of mystery illnesses now as well I am scared about my salvation. Is there hope left for me to be restored? Can you please pray for me brother?

My teacher always said we have to be careful not to single out passages of scripture and create our theology, but take, rather, the Bible as a whole. It seems when I try to apply that I lapse back into peace with Him. I’m sixty years old and I don’t believe in legalism anymore. The scripture I quoted I believe is one in which Jesus was speaking to the Sanhedrin, or the religious leaders. I believe it refers to extending mercy to others rather than focusing on putting sinless perfection on ourselves and others. What do you think?

Wow this is an amazing testimony. Stories like these and like my brother testimony gives me hope. My brother was incarcerated for 12 years in prison and he seemed the lord out whole heartedly before he was going to commit suicide and he said to the lord I’ll give you 100 percent of me while he was in prison as long as he came and visit him in prison in person and he didn’t want no vision nor dreams or else he would not believe. Mind you he was so heart broken already like a light in him died because of how he got there. He said to me I was going to give it my all because I had nothing to live for and three religions a try. He went with the Bible first and good thing he did because for like a whole month he walk sat and talk with God the father and the son through out prison. His testimony opened my eyes of how God was still the same since the beginning. I was confuse because of all these doctrines when I was young and so he like you said God did not like it when we played with sin. He was a serious God. It’s his testimony and I would of love for him to share it but he was rejected so much when he first got out because they never believe a former criminal and gang member would walk with God through his time in county before going to prison. He pointed to Moses and they said if god would visit it be those whose been in church already. The saddest thing was that these were Christians in the church. I might have to ask him to put a video out
This is true. I lost my salvation and became demon possessed on 25th April 2018, after three months of mental illness and doubting God. I now live in hell without the Holy Spirit and tortured by demons inside me. My life is a living misery and I am on my way to the lake of fire. I pray so hard every night for the Holy Spirit to return, but it never happens. Before I lost Him, I walked passionately with Jesus for fifteen years. It is unbearable agony to have lost Him and to be handed over to hell. Be warned, the unthinkable can happen
The Bible says the Holy Spirit is given to those who obey Him (Acts 5:32). Are you obeying Him with everything you’ve got? Are you loving Him with all you have? Are you loving your neighbor as yourself?

This is exactly what happened to King Solomon when he went after the woman he shouldnt have. He was impious in his conduct in trying to obtain that woman and the Holy Spirit left him. The Greater Key of Solomon right at the end shows exactly what you went through. The Spirit left him and his mind became dark and he did go to hell just like the master showed you. Solomon choose the World and lost his salvation but not the promise after the resurrection Jesus Christ released the his prophets from hell even solomon. This is what happened to me but in a different way. You have been blessed beyond measure you dont know how valuable this experience is and this will lead to ultimate truth!

But what did you mean the “greater key of Solomon? What is that?
As in kabbalah? Sounds super heretical.
@@abideintheWord Well its the wisdom of the Nature Forces. Demons control this realm. Solomon was given huge knowledge and in that book he talks with the demons who make the Temple of Solomon out in the world aswell. Its not Kabbalah, This is the hidden wisdom behind this world. Satan and his legion of Demons control this plane of existance and are the nature forces including aero dynamics, Gravity ect. These nature forces are also the evil qualities in individual consciousness. The nature forces in this realm and evil are the same. Our big gbang theory is correct but its not a blind nature force that was expelled. It was Satan and his legion of fallen angels who were expelled from "On High". You can listen to the audio book which will increase your knowledge of how these Demons infest this creation and make people commit all kinds of evils. This book is highley valued because behind every "Word" or demon is an angel of the Word of God. The ultimate of Ultimate of Words is IAM. And by the Word of Christ which is IAM this word of God destroys all the nature forces in existance. The cross was not just an example but the Spear or the wound of christ represents these forces being overcome "Mankinds diseses or ills". This was the same wound given to satan by ArchAngel Michael by the lance of God, And that same lance pierced the Word which came in the flesh as Jesus Christ. Nothing can pierce the invisible realms especially matter which is what the resurrection proves. These wounds of the devil are overcome by the Higher Spiritual Kingdom of God and the Cross overcomes any and all of Satans Demonic forces!

Hi Adam, thanks for sharing. I'm glad that you repented and chose God.
God willing, you should do an entire testimony video. From beginning, to all the falling away and restored, etc
God-willing brother.
YES! Tell the TRUTH! When we are radically transformed even people in church think we are strange. Do not be discouraged by their rejection. Pray for them.
““If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’”
John 15:18-25 NKJV

@Louisa Watt What do you mean by “If your heart had been hardened too much” just curious?
Thanks for being so honest with this great testimony. People who say they are Christians but are willing to hurt other believers are not following the holy spirit. They secretly enjoy it when more gullible or baby Christians go on the campaign pleading with the offender to see the simple truth. The best I ever got was a dead stare or a changed subject. You have to realize, they might not even be saved. Unless they repent of their sin in the church, God will have to judge them. Matthew 7:17-23
God bless you!
I have backslidden for about a year... Went back to things that God has already taken from me... I couldn't repent and I felt like God was done with me... About a week ago I woke up at about 3 am to use the bathroom, and I heard God say "debauchery" I had to look up what it meant... It was everything I was doing wrong... I cried out to God to forgive me and I have since repented... He has taken the sins on the outside but I still cuss after He has taken that from me... I still deal with anger or rage... I don't know what to do... I don't know if Im saved anymore... Please pray for me 🙏
Update: I have been filled with His Love and Compassion and His Grace... No more cussing...no more anger... Just Peace and a Hope for the future... Won't He do it??? 🙌 Hallelujah Thank You Jesus 🙏🛐 😭 I no longer live but Christ in me 🙏🕊🌊🙌👑💙 I continue to pray and repent daily, I realized it's a daily CHOICE... Just working on getting my hunger back for the Word....All the way Lord🙏🙏🙏 Thank you to anyone who prays for me, God bless you❤ never give up on God 💯
Praise God!!! As far as getting more hunger for the Word, you can pray God gives it to you, but also take practical steps to stay DISCIPLINED! If someone wants to lose weight, they must take consistent DAILY steps towards that goal and stay disciplined. If they stick to it, they look back and be rewarded for their efforts and feel so good about themselves afterwards. It’s never dull letting Jesus speak to you and reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom in quiet time with Him. Praise God!

CHOOSE Him DAILY.... also I found a plan that says if I read 4 chapters a day, I will read the entire bible in just under a year... I'm choosing Him. it's that simple. You will get your conviction back and the fear of the Lord will return... No matter how far you've run, the return trip is only one step... Read about the beautiful story of the prodigal son... And how when he was still on his way back to his father's house, the father ran to him and threw his arms around him and kissed him ... He leaves the 99 sheep for the one lost one, and heaven rejoices over the repentance of that one who was lost ❤ Don't underestimate His love for you and never give up.... Praying for you right now🙏
Nope, you were never saved in the first place. If you want to have salvation and lose it every week, joint the Cult of Roman Catholicism. When you are saved, God promises to finish in you what He started, your salvation. God doesn't play the in today, out tomorrow game.

Repent!
“Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”

This testimony has brought me hope.
Please pray for me to do the same as you did.

You don’t need prayers, you need to repent! It’s a decisions that you and only you can make to stop your sin. God won’t make it for you, so if you’re waiting on Him, He is waiting on YOU!

@lionofjudahlambofGod how are you now?
Amen🙌,thank you brother God bless you🙏
Adam, I’m in a very difficult situation right now. I willfully sinned yesterday by violating my conscience in one area of my life. It was a tricky situation though and it’s not something that I think is a sin. But I had a doubt and I did it any way. I regret it deeply but I’m also confused because I am getting feelings of uncertainty on literally everything even responsibilities. And Google says doubt is the feeling of uncertainty. So now I’m uncertain about even eating. I want to be right with God, know what to do with these feelings of uncertainty that cause doubt, and stop sinning forever. Can you please pray for me. I am going to force myself to stay in my room and pray until God receives me. Can you pray that God forgives me and that he receives me again.
Yes sin is bad, yes it should be avoided at all cost, but if we sin, we need to get back up and keep walking. Not worrying or stressing that we may have lost salvation, God keeps us eternally secure with him and we do not lose salvation every time we sin, if it depended on us to keep it, we would surely lose it. God loves you and he sent his Son to die for you, trust in him and keep walking in your newness of life he has given you.
Amen. Eternal Security is a lie. I also became Christian and accepted Jesus at a very young age. I grew up going to church. I was confident of my salvation but then lived a life of disobedience to God. I had a relationship with an ungodly guy. Then, one day we broke up. I became depressed and it became a way for the enemy also to enter. And I had a spiritual warfare experience. God made me realize that my salvation was lost. Just like when Israelites had to fight back for the promise land, so also we as Christians need to fight a daily battle against sin and live a victorious life to retake the land, the salvation we had. Therefore OSAS is definitely a false teaching a lie from the enemy as old as time.
Great analogy. You know there are so many analogies in the Bible given between us and the Israelites when they were led out of Egypt. All of them were saved by faith (by putting the blood over the door post). All of them walked through the waters of baptism (the red see - 1 Corinthians 10). But…
1 Corinthians 10:5
[5] Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Just like today there are many Christians who believed in Jesus and who were baptized.
But nevertheless with many of them God is not pleased. You tell them that they have to obey God and they tell you they don’t have to because they put the “blood over their doorpost”. But we aren’t home yet! We haven’t reached the promised land yet! Just like they tried to stone Moses when he told them to obey, many Christians will try to persecute you when you tell them they HAVE to obey God.
It really is no different then the Israelites. Sadly most I believe will be destroyed just like the Israelites were in the wilderness.

I’m so sad every day… I feel robbed of my salvation by Satan by him telling me it’s okay it’s more respectful to come back to my salvation when I could be more ready for him thinking I was actually being more respectful! Shows how much I knew about committing you’re life to god. I’m so sorry till this day and am getting worst day by day I feel I’m so sorry for you. I pray for all of us
The Bible promises that if we draw near to God HE WILL draw near to us. The key is humility, repentance, obedience, and a fear of the Lord.
James 4:6-10
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Praise God friend!!! Jesus said if you remain in His word then truly you are His disciple, and you will know the truth and truth will set you free!!!
John 8:31-36
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?”
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Great message brotha! I’m baffled as to how many Christians actually believe in the doctrine of Eternal Security! If a person reads the Bible without any theological presupposition its absolutely impossible to come to the conclusion that a person can’t lose their salvation. God gives promises to preserve but also gives warning to persevere to the end. So many verses that refute that ideology. It’s almost like these people are blind to the truth of Gods word. Keep preaching brotha!
Most of these famous pastors today are straight up lying to the masses and leading many off the path. When they say you can’t lose salvation, what they are effectively saying is that large portions of scripture no longer apply to us anymore because we are saved and nothing could ever change that. They ignore massive portions of scripture and teach others to do the same. It’s not good. It’s a sad state of affairs out there my brother. God bless you!

That's it completely. We are warned of these false teachers and wolves.
I'm in Alberta Canada and there are not as many churches here like there are in America that teach this lie but they are growing. I didn't know about this false doctrine of men until I went to a new Baptist church in my area (about 8 or so years ago) the first red flag (literally) was seeing a Canadian flag next to a cross. Anyways that is where I first heard of this lie. I'd already been studying on my own and was shocked to hear this. They are in unbelief of the Lord's gospel. They are deceivers.
I gave this pastor scriptures because he kept trying to convince me of his beloved lie, he even dropped by my house unannounced. He was also trying to convince me of a pre-trib rapture. All he had were men's reasoning's, no scriptural proof. We had been emailing but he blocked me soon after. I guess he didn't like all the scripture I was sending him.
UN-APOLOGETIC
Amen! It is learned from men's doctrines and not of the truth of the Lord's gospel. Many don't actually believe the Lord's gospel.
@Redeemed
Amen. It's shocking to say the least. It can be quite hard to unlearn the lies, I still struggle at times too. In all the different denominations I've gone to over the past 14 years or so, I've never been taught that we must walk in the Spirit. I've never been taught the importance of the fruit of the Spirit. God is so merciful and is teaching me.

@@CherylArsenault123 from what I understand that’s the case with many other countries - they are being invaded by this doctrine.

We are in the last days. It seems nearly every time you Google a question a Calvinist or OSAS website fills at least the entire first page of search results. Not good. God bless you.
Hey man, I noticed in the video title you included the statement, "I Lost my Salvation." I listened through the video and gathered a few observations.
1. You once were lost in sin.
2. Jesus saved you
3. You battled against your flesh and demons, felt estranged from God.
4. God brought you back to him, and you chose to continue following God's calling on your life.
5. Your relationship with God continued to thrive.
However, I never heard you say that you definitively "Lost your salvation". Can you clarify, at which point did you lose your salvation (according to the title)?
Well I figured losing the Holy Spirit would be synonymous with losing salvation. You can’t be saved without the Holy Spirit. As James says, when the sin grew and it was conceived it brought forth death (spiritual death).
God bless you, brother in Christ! Powerful testimony.🙏🏼✝️🕊️

John 5[14]Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, & said to him, “See, you have been made well.⏩ Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you⏪.”
The Evil ones are waiting for that legal entry, plus the scripture about 7 more demons more wicked than the first well that literally happened to me😱 Matthew 12:43-45
[43]⏩“When an unclean spirit (Demon) goes out of a man (Person), he goes through dry places, seeking rest, & finds none⏪. [44]▶️Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came (Person)◀️.’ & when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, & put in order. [45]⏩Then he goes & takes with him seven other spirits (Demons) more wicked than himself, & they enter & dwell there; & the last state of that man is worse than the first⏪. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.” Jesus’ Mother & Brothers Send for Him
I asked Jesus Christ how they were getting legal entry🙏🤔 Jesus revealed to me certain objects that I needed to throw away & repent for ever having them 🗑️🙏 Need to be very careful with what I watch or listen to, cause even though I was watching certain videos that I thought was ok for learning purposes only while in my walk with Lord Jesus, they were not ok after all🙈📖⏬
Hebrews 12:15 Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; ⏩ lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, & by this many become defiled;⏪Even the evil enemy knows that we must forgive one another otherwise we won't receive forgiveness from our Heavenly Father, so he'll send an evil spirit (demon) of unforgiveness (bitterness) to latch on making it hard for us to forgive others, so we end up thinking it's ourselves that don't want to forgive but that's not always the case, we have that thing latching onto us (oppression) doing the evil enemies work🤺
Mark 11:25-26, [25]“& whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, ⏩forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses⏪.[26]▶️But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses😱◀️.” Jesus’ Authority Questioned
I Samuel 16:14-18
[14]⏩But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, & a distressing spirit from the Lord troubled him⏪. [15] & Saul’s servants said to him, ⏩“Surely, a distressing spirit from God is troubling you⏪. [16]➡️Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. & it shall be that he will play it with his hand ▶️when the distressing spirit from God is upon you◀️, & you shall be well.”⬅️ [17]So Saul said to his servants, “Provide me now a man who can play well, & bring him to me.” [18]Then one of the servants answered & said, “Look,➡️ I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, & a handsome person; & the Lord is with him.”⬅️

Can you tell me what happend when you speak of the demons returning?
@@LR354- I've explained all I can in my message above, what exactly do you need to know🤔 Joshua 7 gives clear understanding of when one of the families from the tribe of Israel took certain objects that The Lord commanded Not to do, it brought a curse on the land📖 I had something I couldn't see choke me, I can barely call out Jesus but when I did, it let me go📖 Another time I was laying down on my bed about to rest a bit, then all of a sudden something I couldn't see just picked me up and dropped me🛏️ After I've repented and got rid of everything Lord Jesus revealed to me to repent and throw away, I obeyed🗑️🙏 The attacks stopped when I drew closer to Lord Jesus and obey Him📖❣️🙌
Mine was more subtle. I awoke and was lying on the couch and leaned out of my boby, chest up and had translucent bright light arms. I looked down left and heard myself snore and knew I was sleeping. I reached out with the translucent arms to a tv tray that is always in this location and I felt a more intense feeling of touch. Afterwards I touched my folded, asleep arms and could feel the dead weight of my arms without holding them, just by a touch. I became afraid because these arms could feel and I thought could choke me in my sleep. This all happened after I questioned in prayer to God if we had spirits or we just sleep after death like lazarus. I didnt know then but know believe this is the Holy Ghost spirit of salvation.
Amen! this brings me to tears.
You cant lose salvation impossible. Once youre saved youre always saved. If youre saying you lost salvation its just because you were never saved to begin with
Nope, sorry. That’s what’s called wishful thinking.

It would be nice if that were true. But you can. Have you heard of the term apostate? I have a simular story to his. I don't think you listened to his testimony
My beloved brother please DO NOT STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING, is so importan and serious, I want to send you an offering ,just let me know how
Thank you so much for the offer brother. That means a lot but I would have to decline.
However, there is something you could donate to instead. It’s called Barnabas Fund and they serve persecuted Christians around the world. There are our Christian brothers and sisters out there dying for sharing the gospel and many are starving to death. This should not be so as these are our family. Check out this vid I did that talks about tithing but I also mention Barnabas Fund in it.
th-cam.com/video/ewvEc_fR5ak/w-d-xo.html
God bless you brother!
Well I’m glad you didn’t claim that you actually “went to hell then came back to tell about it”!
I know that God gives His children visions though.
The more I listen to your stories, the more I see myself. Trouble is for me, ALL I’m getting is harsh words. It’s as if I’ve already crossed that line to reprobate. I’m at the place where I’m not sure if God is warning me about my condition or if He is just rubbing my nose in it before the final big smack down!
Either way, I guess I deserve it after such a lengthy backslide.
Also your brief testimony is spot on to mine. How encouraging that is! The ease of sharing the gospel, walking with the Lord, your new hobbies and the peace. Did you finally get all of it back? Not that those are the priority, but they are important I would expect.
Our stories are pretty similar. I was totally there after I backslid friend. I was trying to come back to God and it seemed like every time I opened my Bible God would speak to me extremely harsh words. This went on for months. It was bewildering because here I was trying to come close to God and He was meeting me with such harsh words. I believe God is trying to tell you to flee the wrath to come - to “get out of dodge” so to speak. God is wishing that ALL come to repentance and come to a knowledge of the truth. But if you read the gospels you will see that Jesus was pretty harsh with His disciples when they were in unbelief. Rebuke is Jesus’ LOVE. It actually proves that you are His child if you are disciplined!
Hebrews 12:5-6
And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
But make no mistake - the warnings are real. And this is why we are commanded to work out our salvation with fear and trembling as Philippians 3 says.
If you are being turned from your sin this is actually a blessing from God -
Acts 3:26
God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”
Do exactly as He tells you friend and you will be blessed!
Jesus warned His disciples constantly that even they could go to hell -
Matthew 18:35
So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
Matthew 6:15
but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 16:23
But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
Luke 12:41-46
Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?” And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful.
John 15:6
If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
@@abideintheWord yes this is good spiritual food.
One more thing I was wondering: you mentioned that you felt the Holy Spirit leave you in a specific moment. I’m not sure if we really can tell when God’s Spirit leaves us, but I did have a similar experience right at the start of my “backslide” which has been almost 15 years ago (full of trials and weird illnesses similar to what you mentioned). Did you “experience” the Spirit returning to you??
I’m sort of confused about this one. I can no longer sense the deep darkness of that one day. But I’m not convinced things are back to normal with the Lord either. I definitely KNOW that I have some bitterness toward my pastor and a brother in my church. I’m angry about some stupid things they said and did. I’m just not sure how to handle it because it keeps coming back to mind constantly. 😞
Sorry for the lengthy text. I just needed to get that out to another human being!!
@@STAR-RADIANCE well I have actually backslid twice before. The first time was the time I explained on the video which was early on in my Christian walk. When I repented I felt the Holy Spirit rush back into me and I was literally hot to the touch for 3 days straight and I had sermons pouring out of me that I was writing down.
The second time was only a few years ago and when I repented it was more of a slower restoration sort of like you described. When you backslide you hurt God’s heart. It’s like any relationship, trust has to be rebuilt and you must prove yourself to be a faithful steward. If He tells you to do it, you just do it.
The good news is that it is a PROMISE in the Bible that if you draw near to Him, He WILL draw near to you.
James 4:8-10
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
If you draw near to Him the Bible promises He WILL draw near to you. So how close do you want God to be to you is a direct reflection of how close you draw to God. He is no respecter of persons the Bible says, so if He did it to me, He will do it to you. Take ahold of this promise and latch onto it for dear life. If you want to be exalted as James says, then you must humble yourself. There is no other way around it. If you humble yourself, THEN He will lift you up. But not until then.
@@abideintheWord oops. Forgot about the “hot to the touch” part. That explanation about how close we want to be with God is epic truth. God bless you brother and thanks for the speedy replies. The Lord really is on time!!!! 🤛
Hebrews 6:4 “For it is IMPOSSIBLE for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them AGAIN to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God and put Him to an open shame.”
If you lose your salvation you can’t get it back, according to the plain reading of the above scripture. We have to go by the word of God not by our personal subjective experiences.
How else would you understand that verse?
It’s impossible with man yes. But the Bible also says that ALL things are possible with God. Do you believe this too? Please watch -

This is very wise. Praise God
Yes bro ,warn them. Some think they can't loosed their salvation. I told them ,Judah was saved when he accepted christ as Savior, but later because of greed he lost it. And we have to remember Jesus told to the church, in judgment day you will told me Lord we did miracles in your name and cast out demons, ect ,and I will tell them get away from me,I never know you workers of iniquities.
Hebrews 6
4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. 9But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
The bible is clear. You cannot lose your salvation.
No, sorry it doesn’t -

“Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Thank you for sharing your testimony ❤
The Bible warns Christians that they can "fall from grace" (Gal. 5:1-5), be "cut off" from salvation (Rom. 11:18-22), have their names removed from the Lamb's Book of Life (Rev. 22:19), by committing certain sins and not repenting of them.

Hebrews 6:4-6 NASB1995
How do you reconcile this passage with your experience?
Does Hebrews 6 Teach It's Impossible to Repent?
th-cam.com/video/1n8k-5UTnLE/w-d-xo.html
It is possible to lose your salvation. On that we agree. Maybe I just didn’t ask properly. Let me rephrase. If you were saved, and tasted the holy gift, taking part in the Holy Spirit, which sounds like what you describe of being a Christian for a few months… but then you fell away (which sounds like the reason that the Holy Spirit left you), how then, can you possibly be renewed “again” and regain the Holy Spirit when Heb:6 states that it is impossible? Is it then not impossible to be re-renewed. It sounds like you held God hostage for 45 min until he gave in, and gave you a new genuine choice to make. How many times can you lose and regain your salvation?
@@DiveIn88 did you watch the whole video?
Happy for you brother. You may have not been born again until that moment you truly made your decision. Just listening, is it possible you were look warm prior? The Lord gave you what you needed. Seems like the moment you are truly born again it’s all in for Christ. This is why it’s a very controversial topic, because it seems few are.
@@ryanmgrambart5767 nope. I was RADICALLY filled with the Spirit - very powerfully on fire for the Lord, signs and miracles started following immediately. There was exactly 0.0000 percent chance I wasn’t saved. Maybe you didn’t watch the whole video?
God teaching you don’t mean you lost your salvation . I said I loved God , he said “ Prove it “ God also took me out my bed and put me in the big fire , I saw some one go pass me burnt black as charcoal . I was told disobey the Lord your suffer . God will keep bringing you back , he’s the teacher . Read the word of God . We do our best to forsake sin but we still sin sometimes , hopefully less and less . Take your beating and say thank you .
No, nowhere in the Bible does it say we will keep on sinning hopefully less and less. This is a demonic doctrine.
bro you didn't lose your salvation you just couldn't forgive that person so god sent you to hell to give you a lesson to forgive
Bro, yes I did -
“But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 10:33 NKJV
I lost my salvation. Super long story short. Wife had an affair, father died, son got type 1 diabetes, lost all of my material possessions, was nearly homeless.
I was being demonically attacked day after day trying to gete to believe I wasn't saved.
Fought back, I was filled with the holy spirit, much as this man states.
Forgave my wife, prayed for her daily I thought God was going to restore my marriage.
Divorce went through.
Went to bed and woke up an hour later feeling cut off from God for all of eternity. I had no choice it just happened. Now I'm suicidal and have been crying out of God for months and I feel utterly separated. With no hope.
God isn't about infinite abounding love His demands are real. I don't know what I did wrong, i guess my marriage failing from me being a bad depressed husband is the cause - producing thorns and thistles, is why I've been cut off.
Not sure what to do but I believe my state is permanent.
Don’t give up!!! Pray to God in faith and He WILL reveal to you the way back to Him! Please check out my playlist on here called “If you’re backslidden” and let me know your thoughts. God bless you and hand in there! There is hope!!!

in other words you're a son, then you're not a son, then you're a son, then you're not a son. That's not a father love for his children. You'll never be good enough for perfect God. I think you misinterpret the Holy Spirit leaving your body. It's normal for the devil to attack Christians

This is what we catholics would describe as entering into a state of mortal sin. We are saved by Christ being alive in us through the Spirit being poured out into us. When we reject the divine nature, we kick the Spirit out of us. God is merciful so we can always come back in this life
For Those Thinking of Converting to Catholic / Orthodox WAIT, Watch THIS
th-cam.com/video/XWhz-HQhCYI/w-d-xo.html
@@abideintheWord honest question. I am a convert to Catholicism. I still consider protestants and the Orthodox my brothers and sisters in Christ. Do you believe that there are saved Catholics even if they are wrong on things or do you believe to be Catholic or Orthodox is to be unsaved?
@@catholicocdpodcast I believe there are saved Catholics and Orthodox ONLY in the sense they GENUINELY do not know any better. The Bible says the Holy Spirit will guide us into truth and Jesus is the way the truth and the life and also the Light. It is impossible to be following Jesus and Him NOT lead you out of these cults - even Protestantism. If you are not being led out, then you either aren’t studying it enough, you are following man and traditions of men, or you aren’t His sheep.
Listen friend, Jesus tells us His sheep know His voice and they follow Him. He says they will by NO MEANS follow the voice of a stranger. If you are following these men teaching Catholicism, it’s because you aren’t His sheep. Plain and simple.
@@abideintheWord so I listened to your episode you posted with your friend. Just so you know, catholics believe that no revelation after the Apostolic age can be necessary for salvation. I study a lot and read the Bible a lot. It could be that you have some misunderstandings about the Catholic faith. You seem to admit that the catholics were correct on Justification among the protestants during the reformation. What group do you belong to? What denomination?
@@catholicocdpodcast what? Wait a minute, that can’t be true. Anything the Magisterium has decided is official dogma MUST BE ACCEPTED for you to convert to Catholicism. If you said you didn’t believe in any of the dogma, then they would not accept your conversion. You may need to be more research. Someone is lying to you!
Subjective experience! You lost your salvation and God took you to hell??? According to Luke 16:19-31 if you went to hell or came that close as to being dangled over the lake of fire which isn't even yet opened, you wouldn't be coming back, buddy! All the "I went to hell and came back" stories are full of crap and Scripturally refuted because you would not be coming back!
It was a vision. I don’t believe I was literally there. Wake up and stop sinning. You have no knowledge of God. You should be ashamed!
“Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.”
I Corinthians 15:34 NKJV

PLEASE to anyone reading this! I cannot save myself but let me save others. STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH GOD. GOD CAN AND WILL PUNISH YOU FOR DISOBEYING HIM. I rejected God and continued in disobedience and sin even though I was warned. I continued in my unbelief and God warned me for a long time. I finally crossed the line and God removed His Spirit from me in December 31st, 2023. I felt it when the spirit of God left me and I was handed over to a tormenting spirit. I have repented and changed my ways since but I don’t know if it’s sincere. I don’t know if I’m truly sorry for what I did. And that scares me to death. I have been given over to a reprobate mind. My heart is hardened. I’m willing to change my ways and I’m begging for the mercy of God to help me repent. TO ANYONE WHO SEES THIS, GOD IS NOT A COTTON CANDY GOD.

The unforgivable sin that there is no coming back from, is to be saved and then knowing what you are doing you then reject and denounce Him.
There is no way to get re-saved. That would be crucifying Christ all over again.
You were extremely back slid-en but not unsaved. God took you to the woodshed and showed you how close you were to committing the only unforgivable sin and that there would be no coming back from that.

I have never been in hell, you know that we can imagine something that feel so real, like dreams and visions. i don't think that you are lying, but i am sure that you have never been in hell, because i am reading the Bible and salvation can't be lost.
@@-getRidOfDistractions it was a vision, not me literally being there.as for OSAS, keep on reading! Don’t give up! -

In simple terms, we can't cross " The 26.2 Mile Marathon Finish Line" if we "quit at mile 25."
Yup! We ain’t home yet!
I appreciate your thoughts about the Prodigal Son parable. I am going to continue studying it to make sure I understand it correctly.
Brother we don't rely on feeling, on what we feel in exact moment. Also we don't rely on visions. What we rely on is the Word of God. If your vision matches with the Word of God its okay, if not than be careful.
When did I say anything about relying on feelings or visions? Visions are real. True children of God will have them. It’s all over God’s word and my vision matches with God’s word.
At the end of Hebrews 13:5, it says “…I will NEVER leave the, nor forsake thee.” You don’t follow Jesus to be (example: Judas) or have to turn from sins. You just have to believe (John 3:16)

@@abideintheWord I’m not going to go off of what your video says, I’m going to go off of what the word of God says. Salvation is a free gift (Ephesians 2:8-9). Just believe the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and you can know you have eternal life (1 John 5:12-13)
@@Jeremy_Mitschke I talk about what the Bible says. I give Scripture. If you refuse to listen, then that proves you don’t really care what the Bible says and you simply came to argue and fight. I’m not interested in that. I’m interested in those who are good soil, not bad.
@@abideintheWord do you believe that you are saved by faith alone in Christ alone apart from any works?
@@Jeremy_Mitschke I only believe what the Bible says. Again, if you wish to argue and fight AGAINST the Bible, then you are not God’s sheep. Jesus’ sheep hear His word -
“He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.””
John 8:47 NKJV
Here is the test to know if you are of God or of satan. If you believe this -
“Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.””
John 8:51 NKJV
Do you keep His word? Do you follow His commandments? If not, the Bible calls you a child of the devil.
I had same situation thank you
Wish you would have spoken about HOW the sin of anger and your refusal to forgive those who had hurt you was the very thing Satan tempted you with to lose your intimacy with God. Ephesians 4:26-27 is a HUGE clue from God what anger can do to us. Otherwise ... awesome testimony!
I did cover that. I talked about how I no longer had God’s peace, and how His guidance and His direction became very limited in my life. I also talk about how it seemed like some of the only times He would speak to me it would be pretty harsh words - like when I asked Him to speak to me and He told me Luke 9:62 -
Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
This made me very angry at God that He would tell me that I was not fit for the Kingdom of God because I was looking back. But I needed to hear the hard truth about my condition. This was actually God’s love, even though it made me upset at the time. Sometimes we need to hear the hard truth in order to come to a realization of our condition.
God bless!
Are you planning on using my testimony to put up on your channel? I feel like it would really bless others so please consider it. God bless you.
@@abideintheWord Thanks for your inquiry. We have many testimonies people have sent us for possible publication, and we pray and ask God which one He would have us give more exposure to each week. Your testimony is included in this "testimony pool for possible republication" so be encouraged regarding the matter.
By the way: Your testimony is VERY useful to the Lord in our opinion, and thank you so much for putting it out for God to use. (bro. Norm)
What do I do I'm in this position but it's been 8 years. I'm shure his presence left me I no exactly when and why I sinned willfully and crossed the line now I can't feel the fear of the lord l? My body is doing the same thing mystery illness is there anything I can do?
Yes REPENT!
How are you now? Any change? I'm in the same spot

Can you describe the "mystery illnesses" you were having?

But if you are going to come back to Jesus, you have to give it your all. Please watch and let me know if you have any questions.
Hey man very off topic my question ; is it wrong to go to school/study and read books for a career? my family is poor but i am still content and grateful for the things God has given me and my family ultimately i dont want to have kids that will go through the same things i have a lot of trauma from alcohol addiction and drug usage (from family). not having enough food for the family or taking cold showers, and baths because the water bills werent paid. i Love Jesus and want me and my family to be doing the most we can for God, i always keep in mind that we are not to love the things of the world, but is it wrong to put time and real effort into making a stable income for my future income? thanks God bless
Whatever you do, do it for Jesus -
Colossians 3:17
[17] And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
1 Corinthians 10:31
[31] So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
My brother, what happened to me happened to you, you let the demons who were persecuting you overcome your faith. These demons are called "narcissists". I didn't know when I was a teenager that satan uses narcissists at will. If narcissists are not harassing you, they are pondering how to harass you, or monitoring you or talking behind your back. That's exactly what happened to me.
What about Hebrews 6:4-6? Isn't it saying once the holy spirit leaves someone it does not come back?
The prodigal son became spiritually dead but when he returned to his father he became alive again! I do believe you can be handed over to a reprobate mind though where you won’t repent. I am wanting to do a video on Hebrews 6 as there are so many interpretations of that passage. Impossible may mean impossible without God -
Mark 10:27
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
Or it could mean it’s impossible so long as you are continuing in sin. Or it could mean it’s impossible only if you get to the point you are handed over to a reprobate mind as a form judgement.
No I really really believe him it’s not a joke 😢God does not play with your soul and I know that what he says is the truth please believe him I do I would love to share my story but I don’t know how I want so badly to warn others that there is a battle between good and evil and we really need to choose and believe me I was almost written out of the book of life please don’t let that happen to you maybe if you want to hear my story I will find away to share it
I would love to hear your story
@@evan_owakah I am an and always have been my whole life a dreamer I never knew what I was or how I knew, but it people told me their dreams. It was like I can tell what was going on in their life. I thought it was a gift. I thought it was a curse to because I never understood how I knew certain things that was going on in someone’s life but I, thought I was a spiritual person, my whole life I believed in God, but I never really live for God until I was diagnosed at 54 with terminal cancer then I decided that I need to live more righteously, but I had a dream God told me I was to repent or I would not be written in the book of life and he meant truly repent I have truly repented but he still letting me know he’s not playing games, and that he is god and that I am not so now I am battling demons. That is my consequence and I think God is helping me or he’s testing me the problem is I can’t tell which is which, so I believe him because God does not play games. My dreams are random things and then somehow I know how to interpret them. I went to hell in my dream or it seemed like it was so real I couldn’t tell the difference, except that Jesus did come and save me once. I can describe the dreams and I’m still dreaming and still being told what is gonna happen and I pray that people will wake up and I pray that they will listen because he’s coming very very soon I seen a river of people going to hell billion of them, and very few Are taking the path of his way and I saw satan a Whitch and some unknown person that I don’t know about and said they’re coming or they’re already here because they’re taking what belongs to them pretty much so I’m begging whoever reaches please please believe me and repent and come to God .
This is my true testimony I have more but I just don’t know how to explain it without writing a book about it.I don’t know how to explain it, but I promise you he’s not lying. Thanks for listening to my story Evan Smith.
@@jerilyncrain3757 wow, this is very touching... God is real! And all He wants for all men is to repent and turn to Him with our whole heart. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏
What does this mean?
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. [Hebrews 6:4-6]

I trusted in the Lord of Jesus Christ as my personal savior into my heart through faith alone, and not of works, by accepting his free gift of salvation by his grace on February 16, 1996, each day, I confess sins for process of sanctification, to receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior, please refer to John 3:16-18:36, 5:24, 6:47, 10:27-29, 14:6, Acts 2:38, 16:30-31, Luke 15:10, Roman's 3:23, 4:5, 6:23, 10:9-10:13, Ephesians 2:8-10, and Titus 3:5. God bless the world, and thank you for sharing this testimony.
That’s great you confess Jesus! Praise God! But now are you walking in the light, or are you still walking in sin?
@@abideintheWord I walk in the light, sometimes, I experience negative emotions, I always turn back to God, to rid those emotions.
@@seanmick3093 the Bible says that we must walk in the light in order to be cleansed from our sins. It doesn’t say “sometimes” walk in the light. Jesus said you can’t serve two masters. You either serve Him or the devil, no in between.
@@abideintheWord Each day, I read my Bible, pray daily as well, view church sermons online with Pathway to Victory, even though, I can't be at that church physically, but my heart is there spiritually, the heart matters the most. The church is in Dallas, TX, I reside in California.
@@seanmick3093 no, the heart is not what “matters most”. It’s your actual actions That matter the most to God. If I’m cheating on my wife then that proves my heart is not really with her - no matter how much I try to convince her it is. It isn’t. Same with God. Your actions prove that your heart isn’t right before God.
“Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.”
I John 3:4-9 NKJV
Let NO ONE deceive you it says!
I think God gives people more time than what is said in the video, in fact, many situations, over and over, where the "fig tree" is chopped down and burned.
How much time did God give Adam and Eve when He cast them out of the garden? How much time did Ananias and Sapphira have? Don’t be so sure of yourself.
