Hello Everyone,

This is a bit new to me. I began seeking out christian forums in hopes that it would help me in my own struggles. About two years ago I moved away from my family to live with my boyfriend. I found myself far away from God and completely lost. He began to deal with me, and here I am, back at home with my family and away from that toxic relationship. I know I've messed up, I know I've made some mistakes, but I am trying so hard to get back on track with God. On Sunday at church I laid it all down and gave it to God. I am trying to move forward but I am really struggling with guilt. Is this normal? I know it isn't healthy for my new and improved relationship with Christ to get lost of guilt. I'm truly struggling with fear though that God won't forgive me. I need to trust God. Point blank period, I just feel like I've sinned too far. Are these feelings normal? I love insight. Please help! I know I'm found and loved by God.

If

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
. 1 John 1:8-9

Then

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:12

Hello there; I am certain God will forgive you.  It doesn't matter to God what you may have done as long as you repent.  The truly great thing about God is...he forgives then forgets...great yes?

These types of relationships are indeed more common than you think, unfortunately, some people see relationships as something moreover love, however I digress.  Stay strong and keep praying; God has a plan for your life; let Him take the wheel and drive you to a much more comfortable place.

As long as you learned from it (which it seems you have) then it can be counted as a positive.  If nothing else, it was an experience that brought you back to God and showed you the danger of being disconnected.  Romans 8:28.

You made a mistake. You asked God to forgive you. Jesus said if we ask God is faithful and will forgive our sins and cast them into the sea of His forgetfulness. God remembers them no more. When we do this we are made "new creatures", the old life is gone never to be remembered by God. Satan does not like this and wants to keep this on your mind so you will think about it. Do not surrender to the machinations of the enemy. You are free. Ask Jesus to rebuke the enemy for you and set you free from the sins of your past.... that is what they are...past.. under the blood of Jesus and Satan despises the blood of Jesus because it means his defeat. Move on in your Christian life hand in hand with Jesus do not look back.. you are free.

One thing is true, God never lies.

Simply go to him.

1John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

He knows you more than you know yourself.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
