AS BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN - you and I go through these process.
First Step = Humbled self, confess & turn away from sin, accept Jesus as God and Savior;
Second Step = Get baptized - water baptism similar to what Jesus went through by John the Baptist = you died to sins, is born again in Jesus' name;
Third Step = our Lord Jesus baptized you with the Holy Spirit - Holy Spirit indwells or lives in your heart;
Fourth Step = Holy Spirit guides, protects you from evil. God allows trials, all sorts of problems to test your faith in God. Why would God do this? To purify you - purge or cleanse your old sinful prideful selfish desires, self-will, so that God's Holy Spirit can merge with your spirit - to mold you in the image and likeness of our Lord Jesus.
NOTE: Steps 1, 3 & 4 are ongoing process that every Christians must go through - if and when you repeatedly sin i.e. lie even white lies, and don't confess to God and repent, you grieve the Holy Spirit - some signs to remember - feeling guilty that you sin, feel like God is far not in you - the is the Holy Spirit guiding you, so you must listen and do what the Holy Spirit is teaching you. Please do not ignore this warnings from the Holy Spirit, if you ignore these, you become vulnerable target for Satan to steal you from God.
So, we're not the judge. We only see one side. We see injustice and want justice, right? God see's the whole picture and knows exactly what is fair for each individual. Nothing is hidden. We also want God to treat us fairly too, right, and not harshly?
The Word says blasphemy of the holy spirit is the only unforgiveable sin. In my view, I think it's having knowledge of the truth, and still deliberately turning your back on God, and denying Him and Jesus. It's possible that Judas did that. But I personally believe people who don't know better, who have grown up in a dysfunctional environment and were brainwashed to not know right from wrong and who have lived a life of sin will indeed be forgiven if they genuinely turn to follow Jesus. God knows if its genuine or not. He knows our heart.
My shepherd is the Lord, my King.
I'll never lack for any thing.
The greenest pastures are my bed,
for I have followed where He led.
He leads to waters calm, and still
where it is safe to drink my fill.
His blessings onto me are poured.
My very soul is thus restored.
His righteousness he teaches me.
There is no better way to be.
If risk of death dare to appear,
I'll not be struck with any fear.
My Lord is with me all the way.
His rod and staff keep wolves at bay.
The table where He'd have me dine
has seats for enemies of mine.
His oil anoints me, cool and mild,
thus proving that I am His child.
With bounty, He has blessed me, so
that soon, my cup may overflow.
His goodness occupies my mind.
His mercy follows close behind.
With Him, forever, I shall live,
the greatest gift that He can give.

And yes, I've been there, and depressed many times. Did you know that there were other Christians and God fearing people in the Bible who suffered from depression? There really was. So you're not alone.
As far as the old hymns go, like I said they really have done a wonderful job of ministering to my hurting soul. One of my favorite places to go to listen to them on YouTube is the SE Samonte channel. They're mainly acapella which I love, and they sing many many old hymns. They have beautiful outdoor scenery in the wilderness with the songs, they include the lyrics and usually at the end of each song they put a King James Bible scripture on. I'll just have to say right up front that it is a Mormon channel, and I am not Mormon nor do I advocate Mormonism. Simply put I am a King James Bible believer. The way I see it, as long as I am just there for the music, that's okay.
Quite frankly, as a King James Bible believer, I realized a number of years ago there is no Bible for denominations! I can't remember the exact scripture but it goes something like this... One saith I am of apollos, another I am of paul, another I am of Jesus, and it should not be so! I'm paraphrasing of course.
I've got to get rolling now, I'm actually a truck driver and getting ready to head out of Nebraska and heading to Utah!
The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face to shine upon you! Have a beautiful day Nicole!
With love, Mama Linda
Thankyou dear Heavenly Father for graciously hearing and delivering on this request also, in that name that is written that You placed above every name, the powerful name of your biological Son our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Amen = so be it!
Who is El Shaddai? My favorite definition and the one we will useEl Shaddai is the God of "more than enough." "Enough" is that which is required to meet our needs. "More than enough" is having extra left over to meet the needs of others. The revelation of El Shaddai brought with it a pronouncement of fruitfulness and prosperity. You are blessed to be a blessing!
YouTube has that song: El Shaddai
If you are outside of the United States, you can call 1-800-700-7000 and probably get one. If you need one in your language, see if they have those.
Some people give money to those ministries, so all people in need can get a Bible. What a great way to love your neighbor.
Paul called himself "chief of sinners" somewhere else.
I think many people feel that way too. But then we roll into Romans 8: "there is now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus...."
It's not What We Did that's impressive: it's what Jesus did that was impressive!
Amen?
