Dear "Lex", please understand that Gud is a forgiven God. And it is only one person who never will be forgiven. And that is who destroys and seduces the peoples, antichrist. ps.
Luke 12:10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Matthew 12:31
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Mark 11:26
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
And: Luke 17:4
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Luke 6:37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Its best to not judget at all becouse the God Himself is the only one who can Judge. It is for u important that u find your way in the scripture and hear what the Holy Ghost says.
He Never will take away a gift He have given. The gift is always flowing, like living water in your heart, our sin in the saved state. We shall confess our sins and be forgiven them? Thats why we never want too give The Holy Spirit sorrow!
He is not a Lord who gives and take back, u are His forever. So please dont turn back. But meet Him in your grief and judgmental thoughts. Come forth boldly with your transgressions and He and you will forgive the sin you have attached yourself to.
Come back to the calling He has called you to: And be blessed in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Have a realy good new year growing with the Only True and Righteous God Jesus Christ the Son of God and His Holy Spirit who understands all things in our hearts.
1 John 3:20
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21:Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, :)
Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Actually personaly i want too twist this words and begin with v. 25 and 26. But if u read from the figs tree v. 13. You can and must follow the rules here. In love i said this. Becouse its not a kindergarden lesson.
Fight back when u hear the voices, my friend and some day your day will be peaceful. God bless in Jesus Holy Name. And if u dont know how to pray for a moment, then pray Lord's pray. Love u in Christ
"And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness"
I truly believe that water baptism is an act of obedience. For me, it was a line the demons could not cross over to torment me anymore. All sin is bad. Satan is legalistic. If we sin ( Job 1), he's at the throne asking to sift our baby Christian faith. God will not allow it. We are in Christ Jesus. That is what our faith grows on.
First thing the Holy Spirit taught me is that the Blood of the Lamb, is more powerful than anything Satan has. If we can't even speak it out, our born again spirits can cry out to God and plead the Blood of Jesus.
Everyone has a moment to resist stepping out, to sin against ourselves and the Lord. We obey sin, OR, we call upon the Blood Jesus shed on the Cross.
I think most people don't perceive the daily battles going on in the heavenlies over things we get into, daily. That's what we give thanks for. May we not disregard the holy blood of Jesus. He's given us His Authority to fight back with. Parents, fight on behalf of your kids. The war continues. Complacency is heartbreaking. Don't let the devil take your kids hostage, your health, your marriage, your job, your extended world.
Collectively we have so much power to pool together in prayer: corporately. If we would just show up at church and decree in prayer over anything__change would occur. As it is written!! The PRAYER OF AGREEMENT. We live like orphans. Who is your Abba? God is my daddy. I love my Daddy more than anything. He loves me! We have daily relationship. I never forget His or Jesus's HOLINESS.
One last thing. Read Psalms and perceive the adoration, worship, trust, anguish of heart over sin, relationship, more. That's where love begins and continues.
Baptism screams, "I am my Beloveds, and My Beloved is MINE !! (Song of Solomon)
Ask God to help you make a comprehensive list of your sins.
Confess every sin that the Holy Spirit calls to your remembrance and accept God's forgiveness ( 1 John 1:9).
Seek forgiveness from all whom you have offended, and forgive all who have hurt you ( Mark 11:25; Luke 11:4; 17:3,4).
Make restitution as the Holy Spirit leads you.
Ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit according to His command in Ephesians 5:18 and His promise in 1 John 5:14,15.
Surrender your life fully to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master; refuse to obey your worldly nature ( Romans 12:1,2).
Meditate on the attributes of God, His love, sovereignty, power, wisdom, faithfulness, grace, compassion, and others ( Psalm 48:9,10; 103:1-8, 11-13).
Begin your time of fasting and prayer with an expectant heart ( Hebrews 11:6).
Do not underestimate spiritual opposition. Satan sometimes intensifies the natural battle between body and spirit ( Galatians 5:16,17).
If you're married with kids, you'll still need to care for them. Attend to your duties, then excuse yourself back to your "closet".
I fast from food and ALL MEDIA. The idea is fast from food, AND feast on the Word of God. Ask the Holy Spirit to shield you from interruptions, like phone calls, people who drop in unannounced or uninvited.
Have on hand, bouillon, fruit juice, lots of water. Jesus hungered after his fast. (he drank water.)
If you are diabetic or on serious meds, check your blood sugar if you feel bad. Dehydration will stop a fast.
Read the Gospels. Spend time in praise and worship. You can do this at work with headphones on. Whatever you do; no long faces. Bathe and dress normal.
Write Eph. 6 on a piece of paper and keep it before you. Don't tell anyone you're on fast. Just your husband. Satan will try to make you mad, feel unspiritual. Jesus used SCRIPTURE to counter attack satans attacks.
It's good to read aloud. We have gates: ears, eyes, mouth, a heart of joy. The Word goes in through all gates.

More Distinctions In God's TWO Different Programs!:
Prophecy/Law: 15) The Two "Main" (of 12) baptismS = A) water, For remission of sins! ( Matthew 3:5-6Mark 1:4Luke 3:3John 1:31Luke 7:29-30Acts 10:37Matthew 28:19Mark 16:16Acts 2:38Acts 22:16Ezekiel 36:25)
B) "WITH" The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders! ( Isaiah 44:3Matthew 3:11Mark 1:8, 16:17-18 Luke 24:49Acts 2:17-18, 38 Acts 8:15-17Acts 11:16)
Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15) From {RDf} "Things That DIFFER!":
Mystery/GRACE!: 15) Only ONE Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION, Spiritually "Identifying" members In (The Body Of) CHRIST! ( Ephesians 4:5Colossians 2:12Galatians 3:27Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 12:13) 'ONE' = not two...
Prophecy/Law: 16) Forgive others First, Then God Will Forgive! ( Matthew 6:14-15, 18:35; Mark 11:25-26; Luke 6:37)
RDf Mystery/GRACE!: 16) Forgive others Because CHRIST Has Already Forgiven us! ( Ephesians 4:32)
Prophecy/Law: 17) Taught how/what to pray! ( Matthew 6:9; Luke 11:2)
RDf Mystery/GRACE!: 17a) we Are Exhorted to "...Make our requests known Unto God!" ( Philippians 4:6) While, At The Same Time, God "Teaches":
17b) Concerning our infirmities, we "know Not" what to pray "as we ought," But "The Spirit Intercedeth For us, According To The Will Of God!..." ( Romans 8:26)
Prophecy/Law {earthly!}: 18) "watchmen," {as CHRIST Told the Jews On the earth!}, looking for The "wicked one, the deceiving man of Sin" And "signs" ( Matthew 24)
RDf Mystery/GRACE {Heavenly!}: 18) ambassadors {As CHRIST Told Paul, From Heaven!} Looking, Watching, & Waiting For The Holy One, The LORD JESUS CHRIST {From Heaven!} ( Romans 8:18, 19, 23, 25; 1 Corinthians 1:7; Ephesians 6:12-18; Philippians 3:20; Colossians 3:2, 4:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 5:5-11; 2 Thessalonians 3:5; Titus 2:13)
God is our present help in times of trouble! he's our refuge from every storm that arises in our life! mark 11:22 tells us to have faith in our god"! god's presence is always in the midst of his chosen people! we serve a god that never slumbers ir sleep!
The hard truth is--and I'm sure you know this--is the addict must want to seek help, but most of them refuse to even acknowledge they have a problem. And there's nothing you can do but pray. Mark 11:24 24 "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." It might not happen overnight or next week or next month or for years, but keep praying and never give up.
1. Pray your son acknowledges his addiction and that he is hurting himself and others around them.
2. Pray that they realize they are worth something and move on to live a gainful life.
3. Pray for the desire to heal.
4. Pray that they will seek help and get properly trained support.
5. Pray that God gives them the strength to break the chains of addiction.
6. That they pray for forgiveness for what they've done. And if they are not born-again, to take Jesus as their Savior.
Let me tell you about my baby sister. She started shooting up heroin and drinking beer while a young adult. She did this for years and years but managed to hide the heroin from our immediate family. After a while, she could no longer control herself. She flew into rages, jumped on people, hid out from the police for as long as she could when that was no longer possible she wailed, "Why me?" And then something happened. I personally don't know what. But God stripped her down to nothing. He may have sent someone to her. I don't know. But she quit the heroin and started serving Jesus. There be your son one day, I pray.
I know God is forgiving, and I joyfully accept His forgiveness. My weakness comes in my inability to forgive myself. The world is constantly reminding me of my wrongdoing. Sadly, the world to which I'm referring is within the church.
Most true children of God has a hard time forgiving themselves, but we must Mark 11:26
(But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.) This scripture is talking about forgiving everyone including ourselves because Romans 2:11 (For there is no respect of persons with God.) I know exactly what you are talking about when you mention the church world, but remember there is no church world with God; ONLY the world and the church! The church starts in you, you are the temple of the living God if you have been Born Again and
1 John 4:4
(Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.) Praying for you
When the Bible says to believe what you prayed and do not doubt it will come true i prayed and believed my kitten would be healed he still died i dont get it?
The Lord can and will use anything for His glory and praise even Christmas and Halloween. During the Christmas season, even the unsaved and others who normally not listen or heed the name of Christ do so. From mid November thur the end of Christmas, Songs of Jesus' birth and the coming King are heard almost everywhere. And how many of us leave our Christmas decorations up - way pass December 25!
Halloween lets the people of God use innovating ways to reach the unchurched. Tracts and candies given to children as they come to the doors. In contrast, the decorations for halloween are down quickly by the next day.
We cannot let the world dictate to us how to fight in God's name, however we must remain faithful and call on Jesus and His word to guide our battle plans on a daily basis.
I've never had anyone turn down a Bible tract with money in it. Let's not haggle over what God likes, loves, or wants. Let's go forward and testify in His name. 2 Timothy 4:2
"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."
Philippians 1: 15 - 18
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
The doubting comes when we are ignorant of the character of God. But do not fear, all things spoken to us in scripture will come to pass. God my King, the Lord Jesus Christ promises abundance. My position in Christ, my salvation, gives me automatic victory. But in order to be victorious, in this life, I must take my stand, ( Eph 6: 11-18) I must realize my perfect position in the Lord. Let me live in victory. Walk in wisdom of the Lord and stand. Know who you are in scripture. Possessing the victory in Christ Jesus comes from knowing who you are in Christ Jesus.
If I am not willing to search the scriptures and go to battle, then I should not expect peace and comfort from the Lord. Prayer is a Battle ground. Read the Book of Daniel. We must come to Christ believing. The Lady with the issue of Blood came believing and was healed. Read the gospel of Mark.
Stand fast and learn of Jesus, then go out a do it in His name. May the Lord bless you in your search to know God intimately. I have to remind myself of these concepts daily. Bless you all. Saved since 1961, I'm now 70 years old. Praise His name.
Know Jesus, know life abundant. No Jesus, no life in abundance.
That is a heavy situation you have found yourself in. Thank you for sharing and I'm sorry you haven't received a timely response from others like maybe you were hoping for.
Proverbs 27:17 - this verse comes to mind as we often need support from each other and to get other perspectives, so I'm glad you have risked to share your story in hope to get new others' input.
I have prayed about this and I'd like to share my impression.
"my wife has become a victim of my sins"
I don't believe you caused your wife's condition. My mother had the same condition as do millions and it's already hard enough to deal with, but if we attempt to blame ourselves we only worsen an already unpleasant situation. We need to be loving and nurturing to ourselves so we have love left over to give to others. Mark 12:31. So, please don't blame yourself and instead be extra gentle with yourself and give yourself a break, that way you have more love to give others a break too. We all have limited days on earth and should make the most of it and focus on the good- especially in regards to relationships, helping others, using our gifts, etc.
"Are my prayers lost?"
God hears your prayers. It does take faith/belief and genuine motives. Mark 11:24. James 1. God bless you.
All Power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and blessings are yours Lord Jesus Christ. Strengthen us always too forgive our oppressors and never allow us to feel superior to any man. Strengthen us O Lord Jesus Christ to serve others and not ourselves to give you The Glory. For Thy Grace is sufficient for all our needs. Amen
I am currently dealing with TD BANK in Canada regarding past overdue mortgage payments and overdue property taxes, all of which have been turned over to their lawyers in Calgary. They are requiring all monies be paid by January 4 of next year. In this amount is included the six months of grace everyone was given on their mortgages from March to September of this which all NOW DUE. I believe in faith that God will enable me to pay this indebtedness on time according to Mark 11: 23-26. The total amount due is $13,500. That is all monies overdue as well of revolving credit, all within a secured line of credit.
Whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. When you pray, forgive. Have faith in God. You can speak to the mountain and tell it to move. Don't doubt in your heart, but believe that those things you ask for will come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith ( Mark 11:23-26). God's word is filled with great and precious promises.
technically, he is against it as it was originally a Roman pagan tradition. It was called Saturnalia, which was in celebration to their pagan god Saturn. The same with Halloween and Easter--both pagan traditions. Halloween was a Celtic pagan tradition done to ward off evil spirits (demons) and Easter was celebrated to a fertility goddess. So all of those things existed long before Jesus did
God is not against Christmas. This is the day mankind sit aside to celebate His birth. The day may be a little wrong but this is the day we chose. Its close. What could be wrong in celebrating His birth.
To understand Psalm 2:12, we have to take in the other verses as well. Starting from verse 6, the Psalmist speaks, under the inspiration of the Spirit, about a coming King to set up His Kingdom in Zion (Hill of Jerusalem). God refers to him as a His Son, & One Who is begotten (the Hebrews writer quotes this in Hebrews 1:5 when writing about the superiority of Jesus over the angels).
And to this Son, all of Earth will be His possession (in that day) & so the solemn instruction & warning to the "kings & rulers of the Earth" (v 10), to be wise & not foolish. The wise one will "kiss the Son" (v 12): not a literal kiss of affection, but as in Eastern cultures, one of homage/obeisance to one who is greater than them (it may be a bowing down, or a kiss on the hand or garment). So when the Son (Jesus) is acknowledged & worshipped, the one doing so will not experience His Anger or rejection as those who show Him disdain. But it is one thing to acknowledge the coming King, but another to put one's trust & love upon Him. There will be a time in the future, when Jesus will not only be acknowledged as the Messiah & King by all, but will also receive the love & trust that His rightfully His from those who are witnesses of this, turning their unbelief & rejection into belief, trust & deep love for the One Who comes in the Name of LORD. Psalm 118:26 and Mark 11:9,10 show the first cry of joy at Christ's coming.
So, the Psalm 2 is a prophetical Psalm - maybe unknown to the writer, but now revealed to us in Jesus.
Luke 12:10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Matthew 12:31
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Confess every sin that the Holy Spirit calls to your remembrance and accept God's forgiveness ( 1 John 1:9).
Seek forgiveness from all whom you have offended, and forgive all who have hurt you ( Mark 11:25; Luke 11:4; 17:3,4).
Make restitution as the Holy Spirit leads you.
Ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit according to His command in Ephesians 5:18 and His promise in 1 John 5:14,15.
Surrender your life fully to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master; refuse to obey your worldly nature ( Romans 12:1,2).
Meditate on the attributes of God, His love, sovereignty, power, wisdom, faithfulness, grace, compassion, and others ( Psalm 48:9,10; 103:1-8, 11-13).
Begin your time of fasting and prayer with an expectant heart ( Hebrews 11:6).
Do not underestimate spiritual opposition. Satan sometimes intensifies the natural battle between body and spirit ( Galatians 5:16,17).
If you're married with kids, you'll still need to care for them. Attend to your duties, then excuse yourself back to your "closet".

If you are diabetic or on serious meds, check your blood sugar if you feel bad. Dehydration will stop a fast.
Read the Gospels. Spend time in praise and worship. You can do this at work with headphones on. Whatever you do; no long faces. Bathe and dress normal.
Write Eph. 6 on a piece of paper and keep it before you. Don't tell anyone you're on fast. Just your husband. Satan will try to make you mad, feel unspiritual. Jesus used SCRIPTURE to counter attack satans attacks.
It's good to read aloud. We have gates: ears, eyes, mouth, a heart of joy. The Word goes in through all gates.

God bless you and your family in everything you do.
Halloween lets the people of God use innovating ways to reach the unchurched. Tracts and candies given to children as they come to the doors. In contrast, the decorations for halloween are down quickly by the next day.
We cannot let the world dictate to us how to fight in God's name, however we must remain faithful and call on Jesus and His word to guide our battle plans on a daily basis.
I've never had anyone turn down a Bible tract with money in it. Let's not haggle over what God likes, loves, or wants. Let's go forward and testify in His name. 2 Timothy 4:2
"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."
Philippians 1: 15 - 18
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
God bless everyone. Have a happy summer! 2021
The doubting comes when we are ignorant of the character of God. But do not fear, all things spoken to us in scripture will come to pass. God my King, the Lord Jesus Christ promises abundance. My position in Christ, my salvation, gives me automatic victory. But in order to be victorious, in this life, I must take my stand, ( Eph 6: 11-18) I must realize my perfect position in the Lord. Let me live in victory. Walk in wisdom of the Lord and stand. Know who you are in scripture. Possessing the victory in Christ Jesus comes from knowing who you are in Christ Jesus.
If I am not willing to search the scriptures and go to battle, then I should not expect peace and comfort from the Lord. Prayer is a Battle ground. Read the Book of Daniel. We must come to Christ believing. The Lady with the issue of Blood came believing and was healed. Read the gospel of Mark.
Stand fast and learn of Jesus, then go out a do it in His name. May the Lord bless you in your search to know God intimately. I have to remind myself of these concepts daily. Bless you all. Saved since 1961, I'm now 70 years old. Praise His name.
Know Jesus, know life abundant. No Jesus, no life in abundance.
That is a heavy situation you have found yourself in. Thank you for sharing and I'm sorry you haven't received a timely response from others like maybe you were hoping for.
Proverbs 27:17 - this verse comes to mind as we often need support from each other and to get other perspectives, so I'm glad you have risked to share your story in hope to get new others' input.
I have prayed about this and I'd like to share my impression.
"my wife has become a victim of my sins"
I don't believe you caused your wife's condition. My mother had the same condition as do millions and it's already hard enough to deal with, but if we attempt to blame ourselves we only worsen an already unpleasant situation. We need to be loving and nurturing to ourselves so we have love left over to give to others. Mark 12:31. So, please don't blame yourself and instead be extra gentle with yourself and give yourself a break, that way you have more love to give others a break too. We all have limited days on earth and should make the most of it and focus on the good- especially in regards to relationships, helping others, using our gifts, etc.
"Are my prayers lost?"
God hears your prayers. It does take faith/belief and genuine motives. Mark 11:24. James 1. God bless you.

-
Two thousand years, or so, ago
Jerusalem rejoiced
for all the future hopes they had
at last were being voiced.
-
The King had ridden into town;
a donkey was His ride.
They laid their clothes before Him and
"Hosanna!" they all cried.
-
To make His travel smoother, they
put palms along His way.
To them, these branches symbolized
a victory that day.
-
They hoped that He would free them from
the Romans' rule for good.
It's true, He came to free them, but
they all misunderstood.
-
They had it wrong when He once asked
"Who do you say I am?"
They all were thinking lion when
He came to be a lamb.
-
When He was crucified, then rose,
there was no gleeful throng.
They thought their hopes were ended, and
Thank God that they were wrong.
-
The King for which they paved the way
with branches where He trod
had paved the way for all our souls
to reconcile with God.
-
We just began to have a chance
to enter Heaven's gate.
The King has paved the way for us,
so let us celebrate.

(See Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-10, Luke 19:28-38, John 12:12-16)
It also could be your prayer was not heard , for many reasons . Maybe he is good for you and you do not see it .
One thing for sure is God honours his word , but do we honour Gods word ?
If you are not fully confident with this person then don't proceed would be my advice .
To find the right person we must ourselves be the right person . Single is much better in my opinion , less trouble.
I prayed to God for companion but the guy i met is totally different from my prayers, is he not the one?why has God put him in my life ?
And to this Son, all of Earth will be His possession (in that day) & so the solemn instruction & warning to the "kings & rulers of the Earth" (v 10), to be wise & not foolish. The wise one will "kiss the Son" (v 12): not a literal kiss of affection, but as in Eastern cultures, one of homage/obeisance to one who is greater than them (it may be a bowing down, or a kiss on the hand or garment). So when the Son (Jesus) is acknowledged & worshipped, the one doing so will not experience His Anger or rejection as those who show Him disdain. But it is one thing to acknowledge the coming King, but another to put one's trust & love upon Him. There will be a time in the future, when Jesus will not only be acknowledged as the Messiah & King by all, but will also receive the love & trust that His rightfully His from those who are witnesses of this, turning their unbelief & rejection into belief, trust & deep love for the One Who comes in the Name of LORD. Psalm 118:26 and Mark 11:9,10 show the first cry of joy at Christ's coming.
So, the Psalm 2 is a prophetical Psalm - maybe unknown to the writer, but now revealed to us in Jesus.
Sometimes you just need to let justice through the Lord work its course and move on with your life as no one can escape His judgment.
