Weird Terror....

[yomotalking]

Hi all!

I was reading Country Girl2005's Thread about Judgement Day, and I recalled that someone put "It's not Judegement Day itself, it's what happens AFTER......"

Suddenly, a fear came into me.

I've never had it before.

The fear was "what if I don't make it?

What if........

I felt so far from God that day......

Today, when I asked Jesus to forgive me of a sin, I felt the same......oooh errrr type feeling.

Yes, I am a Christian.

I've been one for 9 years.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a demonic attack to me. I know, because I've been through them myself.

I don't know where you stand with things, but you need to rebuke the fear, rebuke the lying spirit and claim Jesus. Find the Scriptures about the Lord's forgiveness and redemption, about His guardianship over you (i.e. Psalm 91, John 10), and speak these outloud.

If you can have someone pray over you, that will help, too.

OK!

Yeah it sounds liek an attack to me. Having someone pray over you is most definitely a good idea, as well as grounding yourself in the Word, reminding youself that God wants to take care of you, He loves you.

I know I always feel better after worshipping, singing, mebbe dancin, just praising God.

I think some fear of judgment is normal. We are to work out our salvation with "fear and trembling". Paul describes salvation as a race to be won, and thus it is possible that we can lose the race.

However, if we believe the truth, and strive to follow after Christ's example of putting to death the flesh and living to God, then we can rest assured that God is faithful to forgive us our sins through him. Having been tempted as we are, Christ is a faithful high priest to us.

I think part of growing in truth is coming increasingly to the realisation that we can't do it on our own, and understanding how dreadfully sinful this flesh is. That it deserves nothing but to be put to death. And every time we confess our sins, we learn to rely more and more on God's mercy towards us. I mean, look at Paul's discourse in Romans 7, and how he grieved at his inability to keep from sin. But, in the end, he knew that Christ could redeem him from his sinful state.

In the end, we know that it is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. We just need to go through times like you are, that help us grow in learning not to lean on the our own strength, but with Christ as our pattern of suffering to glory, to trust in God, who raises the dead.

I'm 45 years old and been a christian for at least 13 years and that happens to me a lot too. I have found the best way to combat it is stay away from negative people and try to be around people who like to encourage you. Even here at worthy you will find people who will try and tear you down. Whether it is on purpose or by accident, I do not know but it is good to avoid these people.

The happy face also works for me.

So, nothing abnormal as far as I can tell.

Yomo, you're not alone with this. I think a lot of us have been going through this lately.
