      HEY WAIT PLEASE i want to get your atention please give this even a small chance as a grain of sand alright just please it will only take you i dont know lets say 5 minutes and trust me it might be the most important message you will hear ALL day❤️❤️
      Repent to God before its too late i know this message keeps on apearing every now and then but it doesn't get atention or at least enough atention people wake up and stop living in sin and in worldly toughts and doings its not only afecting your relationship with Jesus our Savior but its afecting you please listen to me give it a try im a very direct person and the truth is many of our friends loved ones known ones and even strangers!! WILL GO TO HELL!! It hurts me just to write this fact and that they will go there now to cut to the chase if you want to live for THE truth and THE Lord you need to repent. Repent? Right now wherever you are get on your knees if you can and shut your hands closed together and start praying this either with your mouth or in your head:
      Father God i know that for ME and my family and my enemies and my neighbours you have sent your one and only beloved Son Jesus Christ to live a perfect and sinles life and to die on the cross for all of our sins and to be raised by You on the 3rd day. Father God i admit with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and i will let him in my heart and i admit that i have sinned and i have done wrong by you. We don't deserve You Lord but You died for us so that trough You we may get to heaven. Father Jesus we pray that you help us with our daily strugles and most importantly help us not to sin and be free of our sins and live a new life in Your name. In Jesus name amen.❤️
      Now i think that should be a great enough prayer and if you need any tips any help first go to God and Jesus and ask them for directions then either come here and ask me to help you or go on youtube and search david lynn i think is his name hes a very wise and powerful sharer of the gospel even better if you have tik tok go search davidpurther he in my opinion is a very strong person in God and to be completely honest he was the one that saved me him and some more if you want more accounts like brother David ask me and if i will see your request ill try my best to answer
      As always may God bless you and give you a blessed new year AMEN AMEN :) ❤️✝️

Without slime of those it’s just a guitar with a balloon in the sound hole.
