OneJohn410 -> RE: Under attack from Satan, urgent prayer (10/7/2008 3:40:48 AM)

Hi KC, I'm having trouble reading your post correctly, and I had a question or two, and a prayer at the end. quote:
ORIGINAL: Itlyn1kc I really really need prayers every day please. Things continue to go up and down. After being in church those 3 or 4 days solid, seems like things have just gotten so much worse and satan is really trying to drain my soul. I am really scared to death. KC, it is not unusual for everyone to have good days and bad days, good times and bad. A four-day emotional high might well have drained your body of energy, where you then need to find some extra rest and ease back into your usual daily life. I don't know of anyone that can step into a much more wonderful time in life and never come back. Sure, they'll be changed, but no one expects them to be super man or wonder woman following their vacation in a dream destination. quote:
I am scared that if I don't shape up once and for all, that God is just going to take me and I am going to end up in hell. After talking to several people, I really don't even know if I am truely saved at this point. You are saying that as the Christian you know yourself to be, God, who saved you from eternal separation from Himself through Jesus' atoning sacrifice, is going to condemn you to eternal punishment in hell. And you are asking people whether you are saved or not? Who are these people? quote:
I know that you can not lose your salvation, and once you are saved, you are saved. But, if you continue to sin and know you are, then honestly you were not really ever saved. This is what I am going through, I am just so sick of this, I am sick that satan never leaves us alone. I just want to scream. I feel like I am never going to get on track and stay there. I feel like I am never goin to be righteous and obey God. I feel like if I continue in the path that I am, God is just going to let me go and I am really risking my salvation.......I even called the Ministry that did my Deliverance back in March, and I wanted to go through Deliverance again, because sometimes this is done in layers. They told me they couldn't help me until I make a change and that I need to do some soul searching, and praying and asking God exactly what he wants me to do. You said if someone continues to sin after being saved and knows they are sinning, then they were honestly never saved. Is that a statement of belief in your church? I've never heard of that thinking before, my friend. After Saul became Paul, he wrote about how he continued to be sinful. I don't remember him writing he realized he was ever able to live without sin. I don't remember him writing that he knew he wasn't saved because he wasn't perfect after God transformed his life- that he knew he was not going to enter heaven. I can try to explain the salvation of God as I believe it, explained to me by my Bible, if that will help. It is different than yours. quote:
Why can't being a christian be easier once you make that decision... I am just sick... satan just wants to destroy me and he really is trying his best. family, please pray for me....I have never felt the need for more serious prayer than right now, as long as I have been coming here......Please help me!!! kc Being a Christian on earth is not what you think. That's what is eating at your joy, making you sick. Dear God, Please comfort KC. Help her review what Your Word states about salvation, that she may find more peace in life, knowing that she cant' be perfect in the rest of her life, but that You do not require that of a Christian. In Jesus' name, Amen
