      repentance isnt something you feel its a change of mind and this change of mind produces a casting off of the fleshly desires and repentance goes with living by faith and not by feelings, feelings can be corrupted

      No. A truly born-again person cannot become spiritually dead again. 1 John 5: 11 ("has given us eternal life"). It means that you are human in a world still corrupted by sin. We all fall short and go through seasons of doubt, depression, lonliness, etc. The real question is: do you have any love and affection for the biblical jesus and do you have a heart that longs to repent and follow jesus again - even after you've screwed up? If you continually recognize that you are in need of a savior and that the strength to believe in that savior depends not on yourself, but on the transforming work of the spirit and Christ's work alone - then you are "born again".

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart- These, O God, You will not despise.

No one ever taught me about Him yes i just knew He was real i felt as if I offended Him when I cursed His name so i held back my mother always told me God bless you it was God who came for me and delivered me away from Sin that leads to death so i can live He does that to many people or He uses His people/Children to speak to them through us so we can tell Him about His word. We do not make up “stories” but get Gods word when we try to help other. I could give you a list if why God is real but here is some
      The bible who was studied by experts for years found no error or lie in it.
      The bible/Gods word/ Jesus prediction over 300 occasions that would happen on earth in earth which is us it even told us why it would happen.It told us about science which we just in recent years have discovered is true menwhile the bible had been telling us is true almost 2,000 years ago. The bible waswritten almost 2,000 years ago has kept eveything it ever said will happen because God said it will happen and has not failed to keep one promise if you don’t believe that im sorry you should REALLY see it for yourself brother❤️ because

      @rainbowthunder1128 4 роки тому +3

      Fear is one of the ways God brings us to Him. But I'm sure that once you are in Him, and He in you, He will help you love Him more!
      Think about Christ. God sent His only begotten Son to take our sins upon Himself to save us (John 3:16). What glorious love He has for us! Fear doesn't have to be our only reason for loving God. God is holy, just, and true! Even His wrath, which we rightfully fear, is warranted, because sin is something that a holy God could not tolerate. God is so worthy of our praise and love!
      We love Him because He first loved us! (1 John 4:19). God gives us our love and enables us to truly love by His Holy Spirit. If you feel as if you only love God because you fear damnation, try to recognize that the Spirit might be calling you to deeper love. Imagine if we only loved our moms because she would punish us if we didn't. Our love would be flimsy, based on an unhealthy fear. "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment." (I John 4:18) We ARE to fear God, but we are also to love Him as our good, faithful, and holy Heavenly Father!
      Don't forget that once we are in Christ, we don't have to fear the second death anymore. We can have boldness in the day of judgement because of what God has done for us. (I John 4:17) We are free to love God with all of our mind, heart, soul, and strength! May all of our praise be to God and may God get all the glory!!!
      I hope this helps. Praying for you!

    Belief is the result of becoming convinced. We should try to believe in as many true things as possible and as few false things as possible. We should require evidence to form and support our beliefs. I only heard the word "evidence" once in this video where Mr Piper seemed to be saying the evidence for the truth of Christianity is love, but we find love in religions that conflict with Christianity. I can see how self identifying Christians would find this inspiring using confirmation bias.
    First convince me that (a) god exists with evidence then I will agree that belief in him/her is justified. (In stead of the other way around.) When you find sufficient evidence and properly present it, you will be awarded a Nobel prize.

    This is nice. The problem I'm having is that I asked Laylah (the [another] angel of the Lord) to ask Father before the throne I am not sure what to do and she said "(He, I) love you" and then He said well I am Him and He then said I want Laylah away from you and I said Father you married us she is my wife and you can have her but I want her. But after praying for a wife and kids for so long and so he took her but somehow she is still around? Idk. So then he delivers the spirit of this angel to me and says here is your (my) child. and there was this illuminating conversation (what is this child? Is it the beast that will take over is it an angel?) He said (what do you want) I said well I want an angel but I'm not fully decided and it has to be one but if this is my child how can it be that that I don't have another. So now I have like this angel curled up like a fetus glowing and hanging from my accord floating around. And I'm like Father I desire that we are closer and I'm you? But this world creates all this doubt and I miss laylah and I wish that she could he down here as a person with me and that I can be thankful to you for having a wife and now I'm thinking I'm thankful for having this angel as a child and I'm like was something being said here what does this mean Father? Well I guess I can derive that it means being thankful for this angel and not for having a wife.. but and then man has a wife in.this life and kids but doesn't in.heaven? And Father has granted this? But I'm asking for both. I don't want one or the other. I want both. Father if I am you then can I not have both? And who is man to act otherwise? And then I have jist this understanding that this angel is a spirit and I'm supposed to give to Laylah to place in the womb of some woman okay. Like literally when I'm told it's time to do this (or when i have this understanding that it is) then instead of a soul it's a spirit living in a body.

I'm having a relationship with the Father whom I'm putting before Christ. Now. Christ has decided to put me first (this happened on lent in 2012) and I'm not deceived, you're blind. Neither were the Apostles the Christ but they were able to command the Spirit into people. And just because it's apparent to blindness that "all men are equal" doesn't mean that God will make it so in fact He will not and has told Me not to grant that to man. Not every person is but a soul some are spirits. It doesn't matter what you want. So it doesn't matter you won't hardly believe about Christ on earth and you certainly deny anything in heaven. Which is why Christ decided not to speak of it but I can and will if I want to. If I'm deceived than John Piper is possessed by Satan and I know that's not true either because I know where he is getting his inspiration and that's not what I'm saying but that's what this is about. So if Father wants me to ask questions and feel like something is missing and then John wants to talk about unbelief. But I'm being deceived? I think you're blind. It appears so. Now I'm being entertained by John Piper. Stop bothering me with your unbelief. The unbelief has to go away it's not welcome. If the Father means nothing to you but through Christ and putting Him first than how are you saved? I serve the Father whom sent me.

      How can you possibly say that you have power like that? I know it’s no good to just call each other deceived, lost, etc because it becomes a back and forth of name calling rather than an exchange of information...but what you have described is blatantly demonic and not from God. God does not give His authority to anyone. Why would He do that? “Judge not lest ye be judged.”
      Never at any time in all of creation has God given someone the authority to decide who goes to Heaven or Hell nor will He ever.
      You’re not to be praying to anything or anyone other than God, not angels, not even Mary. The Bible says that Satan appears as an angel of light. So be weary of every spirit, test them-1 John 4:1.
      You haven’t been given any special authority, rather what you’ve done is made yourself a god. If you have the ability to condemn someone or pardon them then that means people to need to seek your forgiveness-making you a deity
