Rise up again and again. See the miracle and believe, you are a new creation. Therefore go and sin no more, unlike the unrepentant that cannot stop sinning, they are a slave to sin. This is how the deep state continues on, men are a slave to sin.
I've been praying for the Spirit to convict the hardened of hearts, and for people to return with repentance and contrite hearts. Of course Our Lord Jesus will be there all forgiving all merciful. 🙏🏻❤️
I'm not on FaceBook, but my wife is. I used her account today to sell some garage junk. I looked up all my old buddies that I grew up with and they all are like me. They had accounts but no pictures or interaction, and the pics I did see showed they contiued on the self destructive path we were on back in high school ('83). There was one guy that had some Jesus posted and it warmed my heart.
I'm just thankful that I heard the call before it was too late. I struggle with the gift of His grace at times, but I know where I was then, and I know where I am now, and Jesus is whats in between.
I am not going to be able to hear Christ. And I'm going to die and I'm scared shitless. Because I cannot do what I need to do to hear him. I 100% believe and know that Jesus is real. And I cannot make myself do what I need to do to let him be part of me and I'm so scared and I don't know what to do. I wish I had somebody local that could help me.
There’s only one way: surrender yourself to the greatest love you’ll ever know. Follow Him. He will not hurt you, He will heal you. He will not betray you, He is faithful. He will not embarrass you, trick you, deceive you, lie to you, or steal from you you. He is not of this world which is owned by Satan. He is Lord, King of Kings and He loves you and better yet…He forgives you. Trust Him. Put your life squarely in the palm of His hands and see…..
Just talk to Jesus like a Friend, tell Him where you are at and most importantly that you want to accept Him by faith. He will do the rest. No one's situation is too bad or too difficult for Him. Just trust in Him.
Buy yourself a King James bible and read it from cover to cover (over and over again) each day (you might want to start in the gospel of John and the book of Romans at first). Find a local King James bible believing church - there you will get fellowship and the support from other believers that you need to grow in the Lord.
I will pray for you that you will trust the Lord and accept Him today. If you have any questions DM me, I'd be glad to help you.
That is a wonderful post and I want to thank you for taking the time and effort to post it. I love to see the Lord working through us to reach others and bring them to faith.
The NASB 1995 translation is a perverted bible translation! See my examples of perversion document. This document references the NASB version not the NASB 1995 specifically but most of the examples are true for the NASB 1995 version as well with John 3:16 being an exception.
For me, the litmus test is Colossians 1:14
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (NASB 1995)
versus
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: (KJV)
Why would a bible translator remove "through his blood"?
Why would they remove "omnipotent", "Godhead", "sodomite" (1 reference vs 5 in the KJV), "Holy Ghost", "Jesus Christ" (appears only 236 times vs 258 times in KJV) and hell (15 times vs 54 times in KJV).
CONCLUSIONS:
NASB 1995 does not want redemption through the blood of Jesus. It promotes a bloodless salvation!
It wants you to believe that Joseph is the father of Jesus (Luke 2:33)
It undermines the Diety of the Lord throughout by eliminating references to "Jesus Christ"
It attempts to soften the message by eliminating references to "hell"
It tries to obfuscate that sodomy is sin by removing 4 of the 5 occurrences of the word sodomite.
I have addiction problems that I have been trying to solve and cannot. JW come to my house every weekend and we study the bible. I am trying and I have prayed, the JW folks are who showed up. I am skeptical of them but I just want to solve my issue. I don't believe they can. I don't know what to do. I am lost and feel like I am losing. I don't want to lose for my kids.
Wow fren that's awesome you read the Bible. I have a couple jw frens. They definitely get out there and preach what they believe. I give them props for the boldness. I also think they miss the mark on Jesus and can potentially mis lead people. So just be on guard.
Fren I can 100% relate to this very much. I was addicted to meth and heroin for 10 years before the Lord found me. I don't wanna come off as excusing the addiction because truly it's something I know deep down u wanna break free from. I do understand that battle though. Just know that we don't have to get clean to approach the Lord. The Lord sees the heart. I spent a year after Jesus found me still getting high. Hating myself. The Lord used it all for his glory.
Being lost is actually a good place. We must give up our understanding and make room for his. Jesus loves you dearly fren. He has plans for you. He wants to clean you up and make you new each day. Later by later.
So take the focus off your own sin for a second and put it on him and his perfection. I encourage you to keep reading your Bible and working to build a habit of prayer. I don't know if I am overstepping with this next though but here I go. Feel free to PM me if you wanna set up a call sometime and we can talk. No pressure but if u need someone I am here and willing to call, text, continue in Private message or continue here. Just wanted to throw the option out there.
Thank you Slechta5614. I really needed to hear that. I REALLY needed to hear that. Thank you. And I may reach out. I have looked locally and the JW guys are nice to talk to but I don't agree with some of what they say because I was raised Catholic and I do know some of scripture. Some beliefs they have are very wrong.
The addicition issues... there are really very few options for me around here.
Be quiet and listen. God knows you and He knows how to speak to you but it’s not going to be like someone else. For me I might hear another person talking to me while I go to sleep but that’s shocking and hard to comprehend in the moment. Therefore God speaks to me in dreams, unexplainable intuition, and in my mind’s eye.
I had a dream in the fall of 2019 about a huge crowd descending on a church as some storms came through. As I was watching there was an evangelist standing next to me and asking me a question. “Do you know the hardest thing about preaching on the streets? It’s that everyone comes to Jesus and I don’t have anywhere to send them.” The rest of the dream was about getting myself to that church and all the obstacles or distractions that tried to block me. Near the end there were little fragments flying that seemed like needles to me.
You are half way there my friend. He knows what’s in your heart. Do not be afraid of Him. Once I accepted Him as my Savior I was filled with joy. I no longer worry about things as I did in the past. I know that everything that happens is part of His plan. I accept what I am given including all the trials and tribulations bc I know they strengthen me.
All He wants from you is to accept His mercy. He died for your sins already. So you just need to tell Him how sorry you are for all your past sins. He will know if you are truly repentant. And once you admit you are a sinner and are sorry for your sins you will be forgiven and He will send the Spirit to dwell within you to guide you.
This doesn’t mean you still won’t sin because none of us is as pure as Christ when he came down on earth. But let the Holy Spirit guide you and even though we all try not to we all still sin. Just keep plugging away, admit to your slip ups and to try and be a better person each day.
Thanks fren. Yes I am doing great. Lots of exciting stuff going on. The Lord has had my focus on the church and how we can bring the Great Awakening and Church together. So haven't commented a whole lot here. But I do still check it all through out the day.
Hope all is well with you fren. Anything I can pray for you for today?
The only thing I contributed to my salvation was the sin that required a savior.
It was 100% and act of God. He is sovereign over everything including salvation.
I was dead in my sin like Lazarus in the grave when Jesus told him to "Rise up!"
Jesus didn't need his cooperation or permission.
When God calls, you answer. "My sheep hear and obey My voice" - Jesus
Amen.
Rise up again and again. See the miracle and believe, you are a new creation. Therefore go and sin no more, unlike the unrepentant that cannot stop sinning, they are a slave to sin. This is how the deep state continues on, men are a slave to sin.
My God, what a beautiful post!! Brings tears to my eyes, because of its ability to suddenly pierce my heart open with profound Truth.
My heart rejoices.
AMEN,
I've been praying for the Spirit to convict the hardened of hearts, and for people to return with repentance and contrite hearts. Of course Our Lord Jesus will be there all forgiving all merciful. 🙏🏻❤️
I'm praying for this as well for some in our family...🙏
Thank you for this powerful post brother, always love to read your heartfelt wisdom! u/Slechta5614
Thus it is called..
The Great Awakening
Beautiful! Good to see you posting again, Slechta!
That one hit hard.
Just like the Holy Spirit does.

Not A Chance!

I am not going to be able to hear Christ. And I'm going to die and I'm scared shitless. Because I cannot do what I need to do to hear him. I 100% believe and know that Jesus is real.

God's Plan is the best Plan to trust! :D
Knowing that Jesus is real and accepting Him as your personal Saviour are two different things.
I urge you to read my post If you died today...
Just talk to Jesus like a Friend, tell Him where you are at and most importantly that you want to accept Him by faith. He will do the rest. No one's situation is too bad or too difficult for Him. Just trust in Him.

NASB 1995 is better. more accurate and updated language.
the accuracy is the one biiiiiggest reason to buy NASB 1995. we should all strive 2 seek ACCURACY in our daily life..... policy of TRUTH

Hey fren sorry just now seeing this. Had a busy day. If you are willing I would love to hear more about what you mean.
Not sure where you are located. If u are willing to share more I might be able to direct you. No pressure
Also do you belong to a church at all?

What is meant by this? Does this mean that He intentionally wills things to happen? Or do things "become involved" in His Plans?
Repentance is about a change of mind. Old self no more, new self present.
What an extraordinary share. Thank you.
Hey fran, do you have the X link for this? Id like to share the OP
Thanks for this. my apologies for not posting this.

Not for only me, but for all of us enduring hardship right now, I believe we are all actively engaging evil in this time
Now AI writes for God?
God can use a donkey I'm sure he can use AI.
Not sure why you said this though. Would u expand
