PS: Forgiveness is the greatest form of healing. Forgive everyone that ever hurt you, and forgive yourself for ever hating on any of them who have hurt you. Even write send them letters asking for their forgiveness for whatever hate or bad thoughts you have had for them. Romans 12:20.......Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink; for in doing so thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head 21.......Be not overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good. In following Gods word here my friend, it will set you free, you can trust me on that for i have done it and have been set free. it is hard for the wounded flesh mind to get to this point but be strong in your new spirit and just have faith and do what it says here and you will be set free of the clouds in your head, the thoughts that go round and round and never stop, and the nightmares that suck the life right out of you. and if your saying to yourself, yeah, that is me, how did he know, well because i have been there my friend, i have been in the dark dungeon for my whole life save the past year and a half, and it gets to the point where any sight of the light frightens you because the dark has become your security blanket. My friend, when you see the light, grab it, grab it for it is the hand of Christ reaching down and offering to pull you out of the dungeon, you only have to latch on to it, you only have to have faith and trust in the goodness of the light and the purity of its love. For it is REAL and it is BEAUTIFUL! God bless

Hello my brother/sister. If you have accepted Christ then you're salvation is secure, please do not ever believe the devil that God would ever go back on his promise. There is nothing you can ever do to earn salvation and in the same respect, there is nothing have to do to keep it. It is a gift with no take-back rules. The doubt being put into you is from the devil. Of that you can be sure. I have issues too my friend, and some things take time. What God knows is what is in your heart and not in your actions. Now that his son Christ is in your heart, you have the power to eventually overcome everything from your past, you just have to learn to have unconditional faith in his promise as God has unconditional love for us in his word. That is the devils ruse, making people believe that God is disappointed in them and they might lose their salvation. Hogwash. Devil begone with your games and lies. Your heart and spirit are pure in christ my friend, your mind is still wounded by the world of the flesh and will be overcome with the word. Just have faith that God loves you sooooo much and there is nothing you can do to disappoint him. You are already winning the battle because it hurts you to think you have hurt God. My advice for you is to read the new testament, new testament only, everyday from front to back, no skipping gospels or letters, and even if you just read a page a day. But everyday, find quiet time with the lords word, and let the word speak to you without influence from man of the flesh interpreting the word to their own meanings. The word was written specifically for you to understand my friend, for man cannot live on bread alone but by every word that comes from god. Which means your new spirit in you of the holy spirit needs to be fed with the word in order to grow in strength just as the body of the flesh needs to be fed or it will weaken and be vulnerable to disease and death. A very important scripture to read and understand regarding the devils untruth his false ideology of becoming unsaved in Gods eyes is. Mathew 17: 25-26 kjv......What thinkest thou simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children or of strangers? ......Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Christ is asking Peter, to whom do the kings of earth take their stuff and taxes from, their own children or from strangers, and peter answers strangers, and Christ says that's right, so their children are exempt from their own laws. So let me indulge here and try and expand on this teaching if Christ were to give an answer in full, rather than have people think about it to gain the understanding. " if the kings of the earth exempt their own children from their own laws, then how much more will the king of kings exempt his own children from his own laws " You see, the laws and works of sin are for those who have yet to accept christ, but us who are the adopted children of God, the law of sin does not apply to us for Christ took sin to its death for all of us. What is sin to others is not sin to us, and salvation will never be lost for God will never go back on a promised gift. We may get disciplined as a father would his children, but that will always be done out of the purest love. Your salvation is secure my friend, your heart is pure and good, you can overcome the troubles of your past, simply rebuke the devil that he no longer has power over you, and read the new testament everyday. You will still slip off the path, but God will never let you fall off the path. Each time you slip, just get back on, thank your father in heaven and just keep on keeping on doing your best. Btw, i was saved a year and half ago, and i am still trying to get over a porn addiction as well my friend. i believe i am about 80% there. I committed suicide when i was 19 and have struggled with the devil all my life until a year and a half ago when the vale of deceit was lifted from my eyes and the truth has set me free. With man nothing is possible but with God EVERYTHING is possible. God bless

Sorry, is that John 20 verse 31 you are referring to? Thanks God bless

No, worry is not a sin. If you have accepted Christ then your spirit has been awashed anew, and have received the Holy Spirit who is perfect and sinless. Until you can tell a mountain to go and jump in the lake, and it goes and jumps in the lake, you will always have some form of worry, so all i can say is have faith in our lord and don't worry about it. God bless

There are no words or actions that exist in the human language that can ever begin to show us the true understanding of the pure and unconditonal love of God. God is love, and through love we experience everything that is God. God bless

hey cpanthers786. Just want to let you know that church begins in the heart my brother. Your relationship with Christ is a personal one on one, just between you and him. You will find Christ in your quiet time reading the new testament. I suggest you read the new testament from front to back, read everyday, even a page a day. Christ will guide you on your path. You are searching for something that you will not find in a brick and mortar building. there are lots of ways to reach people without physical proximity. this kind of venue right here is one of them. you can build your strength in Christ on your own. seek his word in the new testament and don't beat yourself up regarding man. on a personal note regarding your pastors wife. it seems she doesn't know the congregation very well or she would have known and understood your anxieties for if she took more of a personal interest in the congregation she would never have singled you out like that. Strength is gained through Christ and his word in the new testament, not by man and Christs' word through man. God bless
