I am so afraid that I have lost my salvation. I have been a Christian my whole life, but there have been some real sins in my life. I can't believe I ever allowed anything in my life to hurt my relationship with God, but worse than that, I can't help but believe I am in the irreversable condition of "not being able to be renewed unto repentance" as more than 1 of these verses explains. I have been crying out to God, every day all day I am in emotional pain and fear about the future. When I was little I was determined to be one of God's overcomers who endured to the end. I never thought I could be here. No one around me understands. Is there anything anyone has for encouragement or hope? Please send me private messages if you can.

So desperate.
Christina

Christina-

All of God's Children have thier moments of failure in trying to live according to God. This is the "carnal nature" all God's Children must deal with daily.

The main point is, if truely repentant and have sought God for forgiveness, God does forgive and forget.That Hebrews reference you made was shared with Hebrew Jews, who had left animal sacrifice to follow Jesus, then went back to animal sacrifice after He left the earth.

This was what put Christ to an open shame. God does speak of how satan will come as a wolf in sheeps clothing to try and decieve even the very elect of God. Thus, God speaks of those who will follow false doctrines. But does show, if repent and leave that to come back to God, He will forgive and forget.

Those Hebrew Jews did not turn back, but stayed with animal sacrifice. We all make mistakes even in the following of God when stray or fall back. Yet God is willing to forgive a truely repentant heart.

I pray this helps, as believe, if truely repentant, you are forgiven of God.

God Bless!!

Lord Jesus renew christina's spirits.Fill it with joy love and hope.Have mercy on her and bless her Lord Jesus

Christina,
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

"Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19)

Confess your sins and repent , for God will definitely be moved and he will definitely forgive you.

Its also said in 2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new."

This only means that everything that happened in the past which will include all of our past sins, have now fully passed away before the eyes of God because we become a new creation in Christ.
Turn to the Lord and he will guide you,protect you.Each one is a sinner.. But whoever repents will have the merciful eyes of the Lord.Donot worry or fear about anything.For its said in Timothy 1:7
For GOD hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind

Confess those sins to God! He understands. The only thing that blocks our relationship with God is unconfessed sins and old baggage left by the devil.
Repent and turn from those sins. He can give you the power to overcome anything! What an awesome God we serve. Accept tha Jesus is Lord of Lords, King of Kings. Believe that He died for You. If you were the only person on earth, He still would have gone to the Cross in your place.

James 4:10 says:

"For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all"

There are no "real sins" as in some more serious than others. Just like there are no "little sins" or white lies. Sin is sin is sin and they are ALL "real" in God's eyes. So whatever you have done, we are all just as guilty, even though we have not all committed the same sin. Our own beliefs are what we judge our "goodness" or "sinfulness" by. Thankfully that is not the system God uses!

The devil LIES! he makes Christians question their salvation. he says we are not good enough. he says that whatever we have done, God will not love us. But that is sheer bunk. God's Word says over and over that He loves.

Acts 14:21 says:
And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved"

God can forgive all sins! And God can use the bad things in our lives for His good and His purpose! And He does! Millions of times a day!
You can rededicate your life to Jesus. As long as you have breath, you have another chance! God allows U-Turns and Do-Overs!
What an awesome God we serve.


Father God,

Lord, please draw Christina closer to You and burden her heart for Your Word. Lord, Your Word has such Good News for all of us. Please help her to hear the Good News. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

Dear Christina,
Fear not, Christ is in you. He's even in your precious name. You may have fallen short but you are human and God knows "None are righteous, no not one." He is touched by the feeling of your infirmities and iniquities and has promised that when you repent, he remembers your sin no more. He casts it as far as the east is from the west! He loves you and forgives you. Don't listen to the condemnation of the enemy ... He is a liar! Go to God's Word and let him speak to you personally to show you how much he loves you. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. He knows we stumble and sin against Him ... that's why he sent Jesus. Just continue to plead his blood, ask for forgiveness, and then be free from guilt. That's not our loving Heavenly Father tormenting you it's the devil. (You just shut your mouth devil and get thee behind her in the name of Jesus!) The devil always uses your mind as his battlefield. I struggle with negative oppressing thoughts bombarding me whenever I grieve the Lord and sin against Him. I repent for days on end. Sometimes when the thoughts just won't go away, I put anointing oil on my hands and lay them on my head and COMMAND the devil to go in a real loud voice! I tell him the BLOOD of JESUS covers my mind, I have the mind of CHRIST and you will torment me no more ... so BE GONE!
A wonderful PEACE returns to me and the worry/guilt/condemnation/fear/and oppression you are experiencing now ... disappears. You are not alone in your feelings. Your struggle is evidence of your heart's longing for God. So put on your armor, your warrior spirit and take authority over that oppressing foe ... use the Name of Jesus, The Word, and the Blood and I guarantee you will be victorious!
Dear Wonderful, Loving Heavenly Father:
I pray for Christina to be set free from condemnation and that your perfect peace will cover her heart and mind. Wrap your loving arms around her with your presence and let her know that she is still your beloved. Give her a renewed spirit and a hunger for your Word. She has repented of her sin and you promised you would remember them no more. Thank You for you mercy and grace. I ask you to create within Christina a clean heart and renew a right spirit within her. Restore her soul like a new born child's and give her your peace and assurance of being forgiven. As she draws night to you ... draw nigh to her.
I ask this of you in your precious son, Jesus' mighty, high and holy name,
Amen!
God Bless You Christina!
Love,
Donna
